As I've stated in a few other replies of mine, I have been one of the lucky people to have a fully working TFP from the start and I love it.. I just got the dock the other day and it make it that much better. I cannot complain.. I really don't understand what all the fuss is all about.

ICS upgrade went as smooth as butter. I did not really toy with HC, as I wanted to get my upgrade done before I did much on the device. I can't really complain about the GPS issues as I don't really use GPS (I'm not sure what all the moaning is about, as its a wifi only device).

I did not even know this thread existed, thanks for bumping it.

Okay just received my 3rd Prime and I'm happy to report that I have Zero issues with Wifi/BT both enabled! I am able to stream and listen via BT headset, Netflix, Espn, Youtube with no drops full bars! I'll make a short video here shortly:D Serial # BC

I received my TFP yesterday and absolutely love it! I'm going on 12 hours of constant use and have played videos, streamed Netflix, ran wifi from my phone, and adjusted the settings a dozen times. now if I could only get a dock...

I will get mine on monday! :D i am so happy to read this thread!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rachet:
I just tried Skype and am very impressed! I was concerned about camera quality, however, it's great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Yeah, video chat/conference works great on the prime. I do it all the time with family back home. When you switch to the rear cam, 8mp with larger f, the other party sees everything in high quality. The mic on this device is pretty good also at recording sound.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
I want to try video on my Prime still. I use Fring on my phone and like how you can group chat. My Yahoo Messenger also does video but haven't used it for video yet neither. Was gonna try Skype but since I have Fring wasn't sure if I needed out. But glad to know video works good on here. I love this thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Itsbiggs:
Absolutely love my Prime. Have had it for about 2 or 3 weeks now. I don't use it a ton besides around bed time to read and other misc times. I have 0 issues, and my battery has now hit 4 and a half days without having to recharge. True that it is light usage, but it is still impressive!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Reignzone:
If I only have a little bit of light leak on the right side of my screen... and nothing else (physical) to report, do I or should I really have anything else to complain about?

I mean, honestly I'm asking those of you in the community... is this something that is relatively minor by vast majority comparisons?

Maybe I'm just being a bit ridiculous here, but it's worth asking for some opinions on it. :rolleyes:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Yeah, Prime actual records great quality videos. Unless you plan to always hook it up to t.v. for playback, I'd use the 720p resolution. Looks great on the prime screen and doesn't take up as much disk space as 1080p. The prime can record in 1080P also but really no sense in it unless you hook it up to a 1080p t.v. 720p vs. 1080p playback on prime display is no difference, visually.

What mode do you keep yours in?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aypanthony:
I had to come to this thread and report that my TFP is good to go too. GPS does seem to have problems locking from inside the house(haven't tried outside) but it doesn't matter.

ICS is buttery smooth and very pleasant to operate. Build quality seems good. Initially, I was mostly concerned about the lockups and reboots some people were getting, but I have not had any of those problems(fingers crossed).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anti09:
Another satisfied customer here. No issues whatsoever (other than the oft-mentioned lack of GPS, but it's a tablet, who cares). Wi-Fi seems to work fine for me. ICS updated with a hitch. I have to say, I expected the worst but I've been pleasantly surprised!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
The numbers keep growing n growing. I bet if I were to count every different individual in this thread, it would make up the majority of prime owners posting here in this section of XDA. So its obvious majority of prime owners here in xda happy with device. Its only mostly the same ones with issues always griping and making several different threads.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fella1:
I am very happy with my Prime. I had to return the first Prime that I got after it developed wifi problems after the first week. This second prime has been performing perfectly for the past two weeks. I was able to get benefit from having the dock this week also. Had to go on a couple of business meetings and was able to use the prime with dock to take meeting notes in real time instead of taking notes by hand like I've always done in the past. This will be a real time saver at work. The small form factor makes taking the prime along for meetings a real no brainer. I am extremely happy with the tablet and hope that others get to experience it when it is working the way it was designed to.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] THunDA:
Ok, I have to join the happy train..lol

I bought mine 3 days ago and the only issue for me is gps.. but the more I think about it.. its probably something I wont even use on it. I think in the beginning it just bothered me to have a feature that is advertised but doesnt work..lol but after playing with it more im SO over it..

I updated mine to ICS which went smooth and rooted with Primetime, I cant believe how smooth and easy that was!

I love the speed and everything about it really!!

Serial numbers of good TF201

Would some of you people that are having good experiences, please post the first two alpha letters of your serial number. Exp: BB, BB, BC, C1.

Thank you in advance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] swngdncr:
I have a 64gb BC champagne unit. No dead pixels, wifi working fine , gps is a little slow compared to my galaxy s2, but otherwise seems to work OK, screen is responsive, very little light bleed which I can only see when I run the little application that tests for light bleed . The only problem I have found is that the wifi does drop off pretty significantly when blue tooth on, and it looks like Asus is working on a fix for that . Oh yes there is one problem.... I don't want to put it down or leave it home even if I am going somewhere that I can't possibly use it !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ericeo:
I have had no issues with my Prime. I waited a month with my 64Gb Grey TP on back order and just got it a few days ago. It started up when I first powered it on and had 23% battery life. After 2 reboots it was updated to the latest ICS 4.0.3 and camera firmware. it takes about 35 seconds to boot and has no light bleed (IMO, the screen is perfect).

As a side note I found out I have pneumonia, so I had plenty of time with it over the past few days confined to my home (haven't been at work for 2 weeks). I actually love that I can keep it at pretty much stock and am happy with it, unlike my G Tab... The only app I use over the default is MX Video player for mkv video files, which the default video app won't play sound.

And lastly, I love ICS's ability to manage Micro SD card as external storage. it was a PITA with my G Tab.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rachet:
64g BC from Amazon, shipped on the 23rd of January.

I've had no wifi/GPS issues and every time I look at the screen I'm impressed with the quality.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ericeo:
My 64Gb from Amazon (delivered Jan 24th) is BC.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Newfe:
Mine is a BC from Memory express got it on dec 23 not one problem so far.

Don't know about the gps don't use it for that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
My positive experience with the TFP is that after receiving my 3rd TFP, I finally found a keeper!!! Also I was finally able to find the right combo of settings to get my TFP tethered to my phone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Found my keeper too. Not perfect but I've come to terms with it. Its still a sexy @as tab with tegra 3. Will love my prime more when my Samsung class 10 32gb gets here. Also when we figure out why the storage is so slow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 05GT:
I liked my first one so much that I traded my Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE in order to get another to play around with. However, I'm pretty sure the girlfriend is going to snag it up as her own.

Just waiting on my dock to get here Monday!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CadenH:
I have a 32 gb BC. Just bought it a few days ago and I love it. I do have a minor amount of light bleed but its only barely noticeable if the screen has a black background. No wifi issues to speak of, no dead pixels, but to be honest I haven't really played with my GPS yet. In no way do I want to downplay the issues that others are having but I'm more than happy with the product I received.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Newfe:
just tryed the gps with gps tester no problem seems to work .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hogwilson:
Doeboy, how about sharing your right combos setting?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paga912:
I love mine. I don't have a video camera BC lets be honest....why bother since phones have HD cameras in them...but I'm gonna get a mice case and I'm keeping it until it either breaks or something better comes along. I have it but synced with my sgs2 and I love it. I been trying to find some really good games and apps that can hold my attention but no luck yet. any suggestions?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
Here is my post about what settings I used. I believe that all phones will react differently though, but this is how I did mine:

Hopefully it helps you and someone else out.

The OP in that thread is hell bent against using any kind of custom rom. For some reason he thinks that it might brick his 4 year old phone and it is not safe. I have been flashing custom roms/tweaks/kernels/ect for over 3 years now and love it. I don't know if I could ever be on a stock sprint rom. So much bloat and hardware restrictions.

Just got my prime from bestbuy yesterday and not enough good things I can say I have good wifi decent GPS and ics is very snappy I love it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tyvar1:
i have played with my Prime in 3 days now and all i can say is

FREAKING AWESOME MACHINE! :D

no WIFI problems or GPS problems! :D

Rooted it and overclocked it to 1.6 GHz the first i did!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] denelor:
Had mine about a month. 32Gb BC Champagne. Only one minor issue with the .11 updated and some weird graphical artifacts, but other than that it's been rock solid since day 1.

Using it with the dock I have completely replaced my laptop for school, plus I've gotten the convenience of a tablet around the house and when traveling (bus, plane, whatever). Docs2Go + Dropbox + SlashtopHD in a pinch + Repligo make it a perfect device no matter what I'm trying to do around campus.

I absolutely love it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Glad to hear you liking it also. I can't never seem to put mines down. Love it that much. Too bad some others can't enjoy it the way we do ours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
Same here I take it to work every day and mess with it on dinner break and I play my words and hanging with friends on the tablet all the time now instead of the phone. I take it to bed and read facebook for a bit before bed. I love Spal.shtop remote to I don't have any problems with mine. Just got a cute pink plaid caseen case that came with a stylus. Someone at work saw it and said oh you got an ipad and I said no it's better. LOL! I love it! My wifi signal at work isn't the best and sometimes web pages are a little slow at loading but it's not too bad. I love this thing!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maddog986:
I wanted a tablet so went into bestbuy. After talking to a sales person he mentioned the Prime. They had no demo units so I picked up a Galaxy Tab... seemed great but the Prime sounded better. I had no choice but to buy the Galaxy and special order the Prime. Over a week I played with the Galaxy. Once I got whole of the Prime I never wanted to use the Galaxy again so I gave it to the wife. Now she is thinking of returning it for the Prime.

My Prime has no bleed issues, wifi is good, GPS works outside, ICS is stable, and I've had no issues

Im loving this thing!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d0z3y:
So after pre-ordering, then cancelling my order (after reading the negative reviews here) then ordering again, I received my prime last week. I have to say I love it. It replaces an ipad that I have used since launch and will not be going back.

I bought the Prime from misco in the uk. I haven't tried the gps (don't care). The wifi is subjectively as good as my ipad and my SGS2. I haven't benchmarked it because it is real use I care about.

I have one stuck pixel however it is not really noticable and I have no light bleed.

My advice to anyone looking at the Prime, is to just go and buy it. The statements from Asus should help with any problems if you do decide to return but it is the best gadget I have!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Glad to hear you decided for yourself. Obviously you glad you went through with it and enjoying the device like the rest of us in this thread. Some folks are just bitter about their purchase and want to try to convince others not to get it or that all devices are broken or whatever. As big as this thread is, with different people posting, its obvious a majority here in XDA satisfied with their prime. When you have a good working one, its truly a great device. Still the best and most powerful tablet out now and will probably continue to be so until summertime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PolishPoet:
I took my Prime to the local BB this evening and managed to talk the salesperson into connecting it to their network. I compared the Wifi throughput of my Prime against:

XOOM 32GB

Prime (theirs) 32GB w/ICS

Transformer

Samsung Galaxy 10.1 32GB

TOSHIBA Thrive

Acer Iconia 16GB

iPad2

I downloaded speedtest.net on each of them and ran 3 tests on each one. Download speeds ranged from 3.14 - 3.56 on all units but the Acer. The best it achieved was 1.1. The Primes were a tad better than the XOOM and were pretty much even with the others. The iPad was a few feet away from the rest of the tablets and had the fastest speeds. I feel for those that are having issues with their units, but I'm satisfied with my unit. There is acceptable wifi, very little light bleed, ICS installed and is running without issues. I have not tried BT & Wifi together, but i assume that will be an issue. GPS will lock on several sats but only outdoors and loses tracking when the car moves. I'd like the GPS to work, but its not a deal breaker to me. The unit is responsive in the few games I have on it and they play well. I'm hoping that the Wifi issue and maybe even the GPS issues get worked out. I've also compared the ATP against my wifes iPad and my Thunderbolt phone. in various places in my home and again it is very close and sometimes even better than those other units. Right now I'm a happy camper with my ATP. :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Oh you got the Casseen case...how is the quality? Definitely worth the lil extra compared to other cases? How well does the stylus work. I will order me a black one very soon. I hope those coupon codes from that thread is still good. I was thinkn of buying the extended cable for prime charger also. A good deal for cable n case.

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

Sounds good. Its a great device. Still just as amazed with it today as the first day I picked mines up on 12/22. The best present ever that I've bought for myself. I gave my Ipad to my girl. Ipad was a great device as I had it jailbroken n modded out. But it can't hold a candle to the Prime though. My wifi range n speeds are right on par or better than my Ipad n atrix phone. Prime still pulls the fastest speeds.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
Yes I got the caseen and I really don't have any other case to compare it too. It was more but I got 3.00 off and free shipping I think and the free stylus. I like it! I cancelled my balck Moko 19.99 case for this one. But the Stylus alone sells for 10 bucks and the special was a free one with 20 bucks or more purchase. I think the Stylus is ok only used it a couple times but the way this thing is a fingerprint magnet I may start using it more. But it's a nice quality leather. Now I think there is a different special you get a free mini stylus. But I love this device alot. Another person tonight at work said oh you got an ipad I said once again no it's better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
Mine is still going strong no issues after GPS vulkan pinch. Use it all the time for a number of different things, and after using it at work two coworkers and my boss were ready to pick one up. One already purchased his and has had no issues either.

I got my 64GB, BC, grey from Tigerdirect on Jan 10 (preordered Nov 25th).

No problems at all, I love this thing. I've got a custom Zagg on the back and a friend made me a padded fleece lined sleeve since I couldn't find any cases I liked. I've been spending time racking up badges even faster w/the kongreate app.

My brother-in-law has a Galaxy 10.1 and was really impressed w/the Prime's speed when he tried it out.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mubble:
I very nearly cancelled my pre-order when I read about all the problems people were having.

I'm so glad I didn't.

If I hadn't read the horror stories, I wouldn't have guessed there were issues. I've got the 32gb champagne version and have had it for a week. I've got no screen bleeding, no dead pixels, no wifi issues. I get better wifi speeds than my HTC Desire.

Yes, I get the wifi fallout when I stream via Bluetooth, which annoys me, but then my iPod touch and Desire both do that too, so its not a Prime issue.

ICS also keeps rebooting, but there's a fix coming for that apparently.

Overall, 8/10.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] superkid:
You shouldnt worry about software issues, they are all fixable :) if hardware works good, then its perfect
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chrihuc:

I have mine now a bit more than 2 weeks.

Apart from GPS there is nothing wrong with it. I was really scared by you guys about the WIFI/Bluetooth issue. I'm a lot on skype with a bluetooth headset. But I can even stream HD movies from my NAS and have the sound via Bluetooth.

Backlight bleeding... yeah that's a thing. When I first swichted it on, I really searched for it and was disappointed because there is some in the upper left corner. I was really sad... Now I realize I don't see it during the normal use! And I checked: the bleed is acutally not worse than on my crazy expensive top end Sony Notebook!!

And actually even my LCD-TV has a bit. Without all this noise on XDA I would have never even worried about the bleeding.

All in all, I almost cancelled my order. And that would have been definitively the wrong decision.

(edit: I like the overall rating)

I give the TP a 9/10 if they give me they unlocked bootloader and I get some native Linux running I'll give a 10/10.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbrauer:
Had mine for 3 weeks so far, and it was a trade-up done at Best Buy before the end of the holiday return period. I did have the serial number issue, although the Ratchet fix has now taken care of that.

No problems with my GPS or my WiFi, no screen bleed, good battery life, no random restarts. I know that I don't tax my system the way some users do, but I have watched Netflix on it while listening via my BT headphones and that works a treat. About the only thing I have had any issue with is that at work I use it with a BT keyboard and mouse, and if I want to listen to music via BT those stop working. Well, I can handle that.

I have had Android tablets going back to the Augen Gentouch 7/8, which I got the weekend it came out. I have had the Hauwei S7, a ViewSonic gTablet, as a tester for Verizon I have also spent long periods using the Samsung 10.1 and the Xoom. Hands down with no reservation this is the nicest bit of kit that I have used.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] coogrrr94:
I bought my wife one at Best Buy on Tuesday, it was their last one in stock. So far so good. A few minutes after turning on for the first time it updated from honeycomb to ICS without a hitch. WiFi and gps are working, haven't tried bluetooth yet. I also rooted it yesterday using the info in the vipermod thread, worked like a charm on my first try. I think it's officially "our" transformer prime now.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Bought my Prime couple days ago. (32GB Grey). So far I'm very impressed. It completely slays my wife's iPad2. It's thinner and lighter, and it performs far better.

I haven't used GPS on it at all (I have a dedicated GPS when I really need it, and my phone's GPS works decent enough).

I do have one issue, but I think it's related to my DD-WRT hacked Linksys E2000 router. The Prime REFUSES to stay connected to it. I connect to wifi at work and my phone's wireless hotspot and it stays connected perfectly, it's just when connected to my router at home that it drops out continuously. (Anyone have any ideas I could try for router settings??!) One thing to note is that when I run CM9 alphas on my phone (A Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000) I get the same wifi dropouts on it too, which makes me think it's an ICS problem with my particular router more than any fault of the particular hardware.

Either way, loving the device. Tempted to get the dock and just do away with my Acer laptop entirely.
