I think we all know there are some real issues out there affecting "some" aka minority, of users. this thread is for people not really showing symptoms of said issues.

I do agree with you that productsin general need to be held up to a higher standard. its just a shame people are divided on the great build quality of device. as far as people with it having no issues. Plus Prime is just not about the issues people are having. there are even more completely satisfied with device and loving it. most of people with issues are the same ones posting over n over n several threads about it. we need newcomers to also see that there are plenty who are simply enjoying their device. point blank. this best tablet I've ever had period and according to majority of major reviewers, this is still the best and most powerful Android tablet ever made so far. and will continue to be so for at least the next 5-6 months. as nothing has been confirmed or started production on any new upcoming tablet. plus more than likely those new ones will experience delays setting back release dates even further. :cool:

No one is in denial about the issues some may have. There are many people who have reported that they have no issues. So for the ones who don't have any problems, let them share their experiences and what they like about it. NOT everyone has a broken TP. I don't see any harm in having a positive thread. We have at least 5 new threads created everyday about the same issues that are already stated in other threads. It's nice to see positive stuff and have something to look for when we receive our TP. We all read the other threads that are about the issues some have, and hope that we don't receive one with an issue. If we do then we have a couple of options, wait it out and hope for a OTA update to fix it, return it for a new one or ignore it and live with it. So I am looking to hear for others who are enjoying their TP and what features of it they like the most.

I have a tiny bit of light bleed, but otherwise this thing is awesome. I burned the battery so it's charging now, and going back to the TF101 is actually a bit painful--and I've loved the TF101 since I got it on launch day.

Seriously, the Prime is a joy to use--great performance, great look and feel, outstanding screen. I'm more impressed than I expected.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hyrulejedi86:
Well, I finally got my ship date, Jan 3rd. for the 64GB. I hope I can chime in myself now, I'm not cancelling anything so, YAY!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] conquereddroiduser:
Got mine last night, and am having a great time putting it through the paces! I have a very minor section of light bleed, but everything else is great. Wifi is actually stronger on it than the other devices I've tested it on, and the build quality on mine appears to be very good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hyrulejedi86:
Which Version?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dakine:
I understand, my reply was more for those attempting to belittle those with issues. Some people are hinting around that those with issues must just be bored apple fanboys.

Im happy that people can enjoy their new purchase.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FishTaco:
Shouldn't you be posting on the imaginary issue whiner thread?

The hardware is fine, but maybe Asus needs to send out a detailed instruction manual on what a tablet is, what it does and how to use it. Just saying.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hyrulejedi86:
So, I am happy to report my own positive post about the prime. I got it today and so far its been fantastic. Smooth, fast, awesome screen and overall great. My only problem has been crashing of my yahoo mail under accounts a couple times.

Awesome so far!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tnor32:
Just recieved mine today as well, and happy to report the screeb looks great, no screen bleeding, and wifi and gps work great. It did have a slight dent in the back plate though... still trying to decide if I want to try and get it fixed or not, its barely noticeable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
can you post an up close pic of the dent?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] corban227:
I just got my prime today and its awesome. I dont know how to check for screen bleeding but i dont think I have it lol. Waiting for ICS update before i start messing with keyboards. GPS still hasnt locked a satelight yet but i didnt get a tablet for gps. It was able to place me within 20 meters of where i was and that is good enough for me. Fast as hell.

I love my TFP, and it works great for me. Despite the ocassional force close, it is a very solid unit that will easily replace my laptop.:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tnor32:
Sorry that's as good as I could get, it's pretty hard to notice unless the light hits it just right. Kinda ****ty but I don't think I really want to send it in or return it and have to wait yet ANOTHER month and a half to get it... :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_Green_Android_Robot:
it is easily the most powerful mobile device (excluding laptops) I have every used, It is amazing for gaming, it plays netflix VERY smoothly, the web browser feels just as polished as a desktop web browser, it is not made of uranium, it does not contain CFCs, it is not trying to take over the world, it does not infiltrate our minds and use subliminal advertising (that we know of O_o).

oh, and it does not open a portal to an alternate reality to let in a horde of ork-snake-wombat hybrids bent on destroying the earth. usually.

Which do you use more the Galaxy Note or the Prime :D? I am a owner of a Prime & thinking about getting a Note. Trying to justify if i need both being the Note is a "Phablet" phone slash tablet lol.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed on having both? Just curious being $700 is alot of change to drop on a phone when i have a Prime. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DeKubus:
Aww already answered your PM, hadn't seen this :P

The Note is my best mate for quick usage as I don't carry the Prime with me all the time. But if I DO have both at hand at the same time, I go for the tablet.

Still, I wouldn't trade my Note. 'Once you go 5.3 you will never go back' :)

64g champagne with dock, wifi and gps work fine. battery life with the .14 update

is great again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Miendsley:
I thought I was one of the few that had no issues with my Prime, but maybe the unsatisfied folks are just too loud. I ordered it in late January, it came in perfect condition, no light bleed, fast wi-fi speeds and a range that has kept up very well as far as I've dared to go with it outside so far. At work I can access the network with 2 bars in the parking lot -- that's behind walls at a great distance! I've been impressed in every way. Tegra performance is marvelous, and because of it I've greatly enjoyed Shadowgun THD and Samurai II THD as well as some other fantastic games (World of Goo, Anomaly, Osmos, Edge, Minecraft, etc). The camera/ability to shoot great 1080p video is epic.

The great, snappy response times and general lack of bugs has been awesome. The customizability and features are all there. My favorite/most use apps line the bottom of my home screen along with my choice widgets, while the screen to the left has my mostly non-internet-oriented apps (games, office, local music/media, other tools), and the screen to the right has my internet-oriented ones. I have not encountered an app used by any of my iFriends for which there isn't an equal or better option on Android. I don't have the keyboard dock yet, but will get one ASAP as this tablet can only get 2x better once the dock is involved. :)

As a last note, I have been following the Prime news since late November/early December (before release) and was never even aware of GPS capabilities. Thus, it wasn't even in my consideration for buying the tablet. I'm still not sure why it's a huge deal that it doesn't work well, since, like many others, I don't see a tablet as a useful tool for it anyways. In all, I am highly satisfied with my purchase.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
That's usually how it goes. Most people with good working devices aren't searching the forums so there's a very vocal group of people that are soured on the Prime and post whenever and wherever they can.

Did Asus mess up? Absolutely. But the rhetoric isn't helping anyone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vcolassi:
I just picked up a new Prime today, my 3rd one. Its a C2 serial. My GPS is working really good, almost too good currently! Picks up 9-12 Sats in about 10 secs as well as locks onto 8 easily while in my house. Tried over 10 times with same results. Im gonna test it today in my truck for real use. Check out my post i just made about my new C2 serial i just got! Everything is working sooo sooo good at the moment. Including GPS!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nomad 666:
Every browser I've used does this except Google Chrome. The standard one does it. Press the menu button on the top right. Then tick "request desktop site"

If you are looking to improve browsing make sure you enable "force GPU rendering for 2D" (or something like that) in the Developer options. Some Apps don't like this setting enabled though.

Transformer prime is fantastic. It is a shame they keep selling out everywhere. Everyone should have one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
I'd prefer this over sitting on shelves collecting dust. At least with them selling out as fast as they do proves they aren't as terrible as some would have you believe.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vdelab:
Hi all,

My bit of positive thinking as well.

I received from the US a BCxxx SN last saturday.

So far, all is as expected except GPS that is probably not tremendous, and BT that I don't use.

But it is really a great machine.... Not yet at the .14 update though...

I'll keep using...

So, one more to the list of lucky ones....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Chance Ill:
I have a BC model I purchased not even 24hrs ago, and it works beautifully. Beyond satisfied and runs circles around my galaxy tab 10.1. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
Mine just said there is a firmware update so I did it. Not sure what it did.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Chance Ill:
More then likely, it was ICS or a camera update.

Check this thread out I made n give input, stories, testimonials,etc... its an expansion of this thread in a more detailed direction. We need more like this thread to make it clearly shown that most here in Xda actually enjoy their Primes.

After the.14 update, my once a day reboots are gone and so are my Netflix freezes. Battery only drains 4% after 24 hours of non use.

I'm ready to buy the keyboard dock.

Thank you Asus and Gary for the hard work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Looking forward to getting keyboard dock very soon also. Extra battery life added will be great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeUser:
You guys don't have a keyboard? How boring those Primes must be, you're missing half of the fun!;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Maybe I think the keyboard will make it too much like a laptop and I don't want to spoil the tablet experience!

(Or, I just don't have one and I want one, and I'm lashing out at you for poking fun)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mubble:
I only dock my Prime when the battery is about to die. Other than that, the keyboard isn't used.

Really loving my Prime at the mo. Been flaked out on my couch using it for 3 hrs now.

No reboots since the update.

Great wifi speeds all over my apartment.

No screen bleeding.

No dead or hot pixels.

No other issues.

Never even switched on GPS so can't comment on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SalsaForte:
I'm very satisfied too. the only glitches I have with are not related to Asus. buggy apps, e can't blme Asus for that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Beards:
Where did you get your Prime from if I may ask?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Beautyspin:
Hi Guys. I ordered my TF201 on Feb 13 from HHGREG for 399 + $18 shipping. It got delivered on 27th to my friend in US. I stay in India. He came to india yesterday and I got it yesterday. I opened it and set up my google account and installed some apps. Then tried to register the Prime on the ASUS website. I got the error that serial # was wrong. I tried changing 0 to Os and viceversa to no avail. Then I googled and got to the XDA page where it said to reset (among other solutions). I did that and then pressed the submit button on the registration page and viola it went thru (thanks to xda). After that the updates have been great and there have been no glitches at all. I still need some time to work with it but I am not seeing any yellow lines, light bleeding, frequent crashes etc., some of the others have been facing. I do see some stutter when playing Youtube and a little bit of decrease in wifi range (about 2 feet). Other than that this has been perfect. Possibly the best purchase (after the galaxy s2) that I made !!!

GPS is fantastic. It got a superfast lock, not sure if that is due to the wifi :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mubble:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Beards:
Thanks.... I've left you a Thank You for this info.

My TF101 is such a dream and any positive info on getting a decent Prime is always welcome.

The Primes I have tested so far have had compared to my TF101 atrocious Wifi reception.

I'm sure I will find one in the end. The art is to remain positive.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I like this statement. that's what its all about. its not about being oblivious or ignorant to the issues many have. we all know its true. its about staying positive and knowing there is a great chance at finding a good working one. once you do, you won't be disappointed.

good luck on your Journey. keep the Art Alive!

;)

plus I've seen you helping others with issues so I'd like to say thanks Beards for contributing and helping the community. its appreciated and needed. I can only imagine the frustrations people feel with defective devices but staying positive about it is what will pull you through the ordeal. whether they return device or keep searching for that good one. its all about the consumer in the end being happy and satisfied with their purchase. they paid for it and deserve nothing less.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
So HH Gregg has them for 399 again my friend wants one.

Will be receiving my TF201-B1-CG today so I can't wait to get home from work! I feel like I'm taking a chance with the whole wifi issue, but hopefully I'll get lucky. I just couldn't find any tablet I wanted as much or more than this one. Got it from B&H Photo Order $499 free shipping. Wish I could have saved 82 bux like you, but if it works good, I'll still be happy.

I am also receiving my TF201-B1-CG from B&H today, beyond excited, This thread was what made me decide that it was worth every penny. Thanks for all the info guys

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chucky7910:
Just got my second prime, the HDMI out port died on my first one (could have been due to me dropping it). However, my second one, C1 S/N is great. Wifi is full strength most times even when I'm downstairs (router is upstairs). GPS works in doors only with the WIFI on, outdoors works whether wifi is on or not. I was going through some serious prime withdrawals those two days I didn't have one.

I will say that I did find a couple of pixels that are not working. I have to look REALLY REALLY hard to see them though so it's not an issue.

So for those looking for an opinion, the prime is great....I've had two good ones. First one I can't rule out that it wasn't because I dropped it.

Oh I know most people don't like bestbuy, however, If your a reward zone silver premier member you get 45 DAYS! to return anything you buy. My HDMI went on the 44th day, returned it on the 45th for a full refund.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 2wyce:
Glad yours seems to be fine. I got my gold TF201 (SN:C1KAS) yesterday, and it seems fine also. Wifi works fine inside my house. I'm going to check if I can get any performance from across the street where my phone begins to get a signal.

Screens looks great.

Brought it to work and I turned on Maps while I was driving. GPS seemed to work fine. It took a long time to get a lock, but I'm thinking it was just because it's the first time I used it. I guess I'll see, but I don't really care about GPS on the Prime too much anyway, that's what phones are for. But if it works, then cool.

I'm still waiting on my keyboard dock ($129.33 http://www.seaboom.com/scripts/product.asp?PRDCODE=1016-TF201-DOCK-GR) which they say will be a week or 2 to ship. I ordered the gray dock because I had pre-ordered a gray TF201 from amazon the same day 1.5 weeks ago. But Tuesday, when I saw the gold TF201 in stock at B&H, I couldn't wait so I had to order it anyway and cancel the amazon order. I saw some pics of opposite colored Tablets and Docks and it looks fine to me.

It asked me to update as soon as I turned it on. Installed a few of my favorite apps and so far it's snappy and I love it. Nothing bad to say. (if that changes I'll use another thread ;))

Edit:

Wifi works across the street from my house and I used gps to navigate home from work (tethered to my phone) and it worked quickly and just as good as my phone. So I'm happy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cwoodard73:
found one at a gamestop on sunday and a few days later sitting here with toothpicks propping my eyes open because i have not been able to stop playing with it all week! way too many late nights, lol. I adore it. The tablet + keyboard dock + bluetooth mouse combo is just genius, pure genius. I bring it all over the house during the day as I'm looking after my son. At night I pop it out of the dock and bring it upstairs to bed to play with it some more :p

When booting up, you can see a couple faint light bleeds, but it's not noticeable any other time. wifi has been fine in my house, signal definitely drops off in some rooms, but that happens on my phone too (samsung galaxy s2), and it doesnt cause any problems accessing internet. Have not tested GPS, probably never will, lol. Certainly not why I got the prime.

so thrilled to finally have a tablet, and in particular, the transformer prime!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
I don't have the dock but I would like a bluetooth mouse for when I am accessing my home computer from the tablet. Can you tell me which one you got and where? Thanks! I love my tablet still to and never put it down. I just downloaded a slot machine game and have been playing for 30 minutes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
You might want to look into an all in 1 device. I have the denovo edge keyboard which has a built in mouse pad, works great, probably not the best for gaming, but for getting around while my prime is hooked up through hdmi it works awesome.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
do the gamestops now carry the dock alone by itself for sale? glad to hear you like the device n working well for you. I know what you mean by the late nights..lol. watching movies, gaming or surfing the web.

Just got my Prime this week after waiting for it to be in stock. I'm a stickler with my Android products and expect them to be near perfect. Went through many Incredible 2 phones and Rezounds trying to get a good one (HTC seems to have trouble with soft keys).

I expected to get this tablet after all these bad stories and have to return it several times to best buy to get a good one. It came in and it's perfect. Not a problem at all. I honestly don't care too much about GPS or bluetooth but they work. No light bleeds or anything.

Only problems I noticed were a nasty multi color pixel distortion only on the setup screen of ICS and also it has a hard time reading music some times. Other than that I love this tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cwoodard73:
I got the Logitech Bluetooth mouse that is linked in the big accessories sticky in the apps and accessories forum

Gamestop was not selling the keyboard. I got mine on amazon via a third party seller. A bit more expensive than it should have been but I was tired of waiting!

i got my Prime 32GB with dock a few days ago

gamestop does sell the keyboard by itself but you have to search these exact words on there website "transformer 2 keyboard". it also doesn't tell you the color (i got a grey but i heard some others got a champagne) but i ordered mine 2 days ago with 2 day shipping and it shipped the day i placed the order and i got it today and love it. I'm currently typing this on it and its fantastic. also i haven't had on issues on my prime at all and curiously who uses there tablet as a GPS?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 2wyce:
Still waiting for my keyboard. I'm getting impatient, but maybe it's kinda good that it's taking so long since I'm getting used to using touch for everything. Knowing how I am, if the keyboard was in stock when I received the Prime, I have a feeling I would have been relying on it too much. Now I'll probably just use it when I need to write a lot instead of all the time. But nonetheless, I'm sick of waiting! :D

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] h3ckman:
Ha I know exactly how you feel. I had the prime a good month or so without the keyboard. Now, with the keyboard, I love it even more. It has such a long battery life... and honestly it feels like I am just on a laptop, ha. Since I've gotten used to the touchscreen though, whenever I'm docked i still end up touching the screen for a lot of things :p
