Wifi works just as good as my s2... I have been checking with speedtests everywhere I use wifi. Speeds are almost identical with the s2 taking the lead just as often as the prime does.

GPS locks on faster then my s2 but both show the exact same location and within 20 metres on google maps. The lock on for the Prime is instant-3 seconds even inside and the s2 took on average 5 seconds.

havent really used bluetooth other then for sixaxis and some apps to connect to my phone and that all works fine.

No reboots or a single force close of any app which is a lot better then what I can say of my s2.

For me this tablet is working 100% the way I wanted it to and I am definitely a happy customer. Hope lots of others feel the same :)

i got a good one

after reading for days on end through these forums i've come to know that i got a good one.

mine's from a texas warehouse and has an HTK build number

it's a c10 champagne model

it has NOT been upgraded to ICS for understandable reasons and i'm very happy i didn't upgrade it.

my only non-working part is the GPS but i dont need it to run so no loss there. the wifi is exceptional and until i get a working ICS upgrade and can push 3d gpu to 2d i'm happy leaving it on balanced or normal mode cuz it works very well either way.

my battery loses 10% an hour and that's in full use, web browsing, words with friends, work usage...

i'm extremely happy with it and hope that everyone else can get a good fix very soon so that they can enjoy this device the way it's meant to work.

I started a thread earlier with this post before realizing there was a positive experience thread (brilliant btw) ...

I really do not mean to brag here but I have been reading this forum a lot since I got my prime on Thursday. And I hate to hear so many people have so many issues with the device but I honestly do not have one complaint. The wifi signal does weaken where i feel it shouldn't and I have not even tried GPS (why would I? Don't need to know the exact coordinates of my living room). But these are not even close to being dealbreakers imo. Battery lasts me over a day of use. Does not get hot when charging. Minimal light bleed only visible on boot screen. No dead pixels. I mean seriously this thing is absolutley perfect for me. Just my experience of course.

BTW. On ics version .13. Rooted. C1 serial #

And the chrome beta is lightning fast for me. This morning I tethered off my infuse 4g and it was probably the most responsive browser experience I've ever had in my entire life...mobile or otherwise (not exaggerating...it was thinking for me...haha)

Thanks for starting a Positive consolidated thread. I thought of starting my ownership thread just to let everyone know that the device is working great for me. I was really afraid of buying prime at the start but I had no choice. I NEVER wanted to buy iPad and I am in US for a month time. None of the other tablets in the market attracted me than this one. I was hearing about prime since Oct-Nov 2011 and did not want to lose this opportunity to actually own one. Day 1 - just got it home, first word "WOW". This tablet is amazing. Even the guys with me having iPad said the same ;-). When I connected first time to wifi, it updated the software to ICS. Yes I did had few glitches in terms of tablet getting rebooted after trying to expand a video to full screen from browser. But not big of an issue. After last update, things have started to work real smooth. I never had problem with wifi. Not great user of GPS, however it does shows my current location fine without any issues. It was rebooted only once after the last update. I believe all devices have some problem or the other, including iPad. It does hurt when you wait for a product for a long and it does not work as expected. Well I had taken my decision move forward with my it and so it is absolute delight having this tablet. As a name suggests, it is a "PRIME" in tablet world :).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Great news people. Welcome to the club of Elites ;) I feel the same as LLC you do about your device. Its a shame that others can't enjoy it the way we do. Its not their fault though. Asus did mess up but there's still the majority out here who don't have issues or completely satisfied with their device. Don't let others try to convince you you have a faulty device if you know you really don't. Misery loves company n those people just looking for some new friends...lol

You know what, I will suggest this thread to moderators as a sticky. I suggest you all do the same. This general section needs balance. Theirs a flip side to everything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shelfty:
Mine has awful GPS but is otherwise amazing and i'm completely satisfied. Now i'm just waiting for a better selection of tablet specific apps. Some people did get flawed hardware and they're right to complain - but to potential Prime owners a message - it is still an awesome tablet! Seriously consider getting one!

Also, I forgot to say, the battery life is absolutely fantastic! My old notebook didn't even last this long, it's incredible! The base is great with a comfortable to u see and adds the ports you need for full functionality. I was initially put off by the complaining on this forum but SO glad I eventually bit the bullet anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Its done, I suggested it as a sticky. Have a good feeling it will become one as this general section really needs a sense of balance. There's a flip side to every story. Its not as bad as the surface of general section making it seem. Once this thread gets stickied, everyone will always see it. New people coming into here would easily see that not everything is as bad as it seems. The proof is all of us in this thread.

So hit report button on thread, then other urgent. Then suggest it as a sticky thread. This thread deserves it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Indeed.

The rhetoric of those with ****ty primes made me almost not get one. I think it's a case of a very vocal minority overpowering any voice that has anything positive to say about the device.

Couple that with the fact that people that are satisfied don't generally go looking online for info about the device (Since it is working properly) and you have a situation where far fewer satisfied people are posting about their devices than those who are having issues.

I'm one happy TPrime owner that hasn't had a single problem in the two weeks I've had it. I feel I made the right choice with the prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] THunDA:
Three weeks and I'm really enjoying mine.. With the exception of gps mine is pretty dam perfect.. I do feel for those that have gotten bad ones and truly hope Asus fixes it.. So everyone can move on and start developing....

I'm so excited to see what this thing can do once we get custom roms on it.. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sr89194:
I had the reboot issue the first day I got it and then the .13 update came out and I've only had one reboot in the last 6 days. This thing is awesome. Love my prime with and without the keyboard. I haven't had a single need for the GPS and my only minor complaint is the power button is hard to get to. I just wish I had a huge pocket to carry it around with me.

Also, here is a helpful tip. The Opera browser (not the "mini" one) is the only browser I can get to default web pages in Desktop mode instead of mobile, so I thought I'd pass it along. Makes browsing much better imo.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
i love mine. It is a BC serial and it has GPS 12 sat lock, strong wifi, no back light bleeding but after the update .13 my prime has been acting up with deep sleep of death and random reboot. i'll wait for asus and their new release update.

Hardware is only good with what the software provides and ICS is great at this. I sold my ipad 2 because i was bored has hell with it. The OS is so boring, is a recycle from 2007 and it has not change much. I don't care what ipad 3, ipad 4 provide cause if they don't redesign their OS people will start switching or right now are switching to android.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgoodsell:
I had random reboot and no GPS but the latest update has fixed the reboot and I absolutely love it even more. I get great wifi signal at work and home. I honestly can't put mine down. I am happy with what Asus has done to fix the issues and in a reasonable amount of time. No I need to decide if I want to root mine or not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zram0:
I got mine on 1-23. I've been using it almost every day since. Got one with a BC s/n, it's an Amethyst 64gb model.

Loaded it up with a few media files, plays flawlessly. Watch videos at work all the time, games, music. No reboot problems. Wifi is acceptable, I'm in the farthest room from the router and still get 2-3 bars. Haven't done anything with the GPS, but downloaded an app and I don't see any signals indoors on the 2nd floor.

Backlight seems fine to me, bleeding doesn't bother me much. It's still there in certain spots. Much better than the original transformer. I did have a bright spot at certain viewing angles when I first got it but that seems to have faded, screen is perfect now.

I absolutely love the ASUS Quick Setting. It's extremely convenient. I use it all the time.

The File manager is also an excellent feature. I like it better than the one on the original transformer. Easily can switch between listing the Internal memory\Micro SD\USB drive. I find it very easy to use. I was shocked when a friend with an xoom didn't have any way to copy\move files, he would need to download an app for it. This is an essential to have.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XXtremeAzzKicker:
I bought my Prime on 2/09 and so far it's pretty awesome. After reading so many negative posts I almost didn't get it but decided to anyways. No regrets..It's fast smooth and the keyboard dock makes it even better. Wifi does't quite have the range of my Xoom but i'm not usually to far away from a hot spot so not much of a complaint. The GPS doesn't bother me at all since i dont think i used the one on my xoom even once. Bluetooth seems fine to me and no light bleed. The extra little touches Asus has added compliment ICS well. If you are on the fence about getting it just go get it. Well worth it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] laurx22:
I really love my PRIME !

I never leave home without my TFP.

Minor apps FC but im sure all will be resolved in the near future.

Awesome piece of hardware.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
The apps That are FC are probably due to not being optimized for ICS firmware yet. Apps will catch up. Its still new and not many devices have ICS. We were the first tablet to have that.

Hi All,

So nice to have a positive thread in a forum. I have had my Prime for a couple of weeks now and am really thrilled with it. Jus one quick question about this forum.... where do I find the thanks button. I have found some really great suggestions on here but cant seem to find the thanks button :-S
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
See attached...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jcuevasrn:
So far so good

Staples randomly had one prime left, haven't been able to put it down since.

I reviewed and researched several tablets and the prime is clearly way above others. GPS and WiFi have been great.

I have had a few things to deal with though. Random lock up issue while sleeping and my charger needed the prong adjustment.

Just did a factory reset and hope lock ups go away.

Rooted with easy method from viper. Works well with my rooted evo with tethering.

Serial C1 -FYI-

Sold my laptop and haven't regretted it one bit. That being said, still use my desktop. Good luck with yours!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vcolassi:
Good to hear man. Also got mine from Staples, c1 too. Ive been using my Prime as my primary and it works well. I have unloaded some of my gadgets that weren't being used much. The Prime suits me fine for what i do. My iPad 2 was boring, my Macbook Pro felt too much like a work machine and wasnt' comfortable using lounging. I have a Mac Mini in my main TV room.

Basically i just "borrow" my GF's windows laptop for Root's & Roms and such lol. Easier than getting in on Windows over Mac. Doesn't take long before i can't stand using her heavy jet like sounding/heat blasterHP lol. My Prime with keyboard does everything i need it to do even if i wanna hook it up to my "60 Plasma which is cool. Even excepts my 500gb harddrive. And in the mail tomorrow i am getting my Microsoft Wireless Xbox receiver so i can use my wireless Xbox controller from the couch!

Its funny because having my Mac Mini set to 1080p on my big screen is hard to read text from far so i set it to 720p. However when i connect the Prime i just double click the page via a wireless mouse & it zooms in crystal clear and i can pan the page. Very cool!

I'm sending my 3rd prime back to Amazon (Bright spot on LCD, Weak WiFi, WiFi+BT dropout) and I am ordering another one.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that this 4th unit will work flawlessly like all of the ones on this thread so I can join the happy crowd! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
good luck man. I know it can be a pain. but once you get a good one like ours, it would've been worth the extra effort. can't wait to show tablet off to dad once I go back n visit hometown for the weekend. him and my bro n law Android buffs...ima knock their socks off once they see n use this device. plus I can test out my HDMI cable on his HD plasma big screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Just randomly I fired up GPSTest and I got this within 5 seconds. Signal quality is poor, for sure, but it's far better than my previous GPS performance (none at all).

At least now I could use location based services if I really needed to.

Next time I'm out and about I'll test lock while moving in the car.

Gray Transformer Prime TF201 Tablet with 32GB Memory + 32GB micro SD card. Serial BCOKAS. Ordered in November and received on December 29th. ICS installed with update 14.

I have no complaints on this amazing tablet. Wifi has been great along with BT. Inside the house GPS has been a little weak, but didn't buy it for GPS and don't plan on mounting it on the dash in my truck since I use my Droid Bionic for that.

Still waiting on the keyboard dock but did purchase a leather case for the Prime. I take the Prime with me everywhere I go and have had no problems at all with wifi & BT.

I love this tablet. If I should croak, they will have a helluva time prying it from my cold dead hands. ;-)

All is great here. Had it a week now and it's so much worth it over my tf101. I'm glad you created this thread.

Thank you! I have been following this thread and am quite glad to see how many pages and posts that are of happy owners! I am one of them, I really don't have any complaints on my prime.

That's not a working GPS. No green sats, 72 ft isn't considered working or even close. Everyone knows that close only counts in hand grenades and A-Bombs.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
I was just pointing out that it's performing far better than it was. Up until this point I had ZERO gps in my prime. Like, not a single satellite. My original post in this thread stated as much, I was just updating with more info.

ASUS Transformer Prime Gray 32gb (preordered, delivered 1/12/2012 - BCOKAS005)

ASUS Transformer Prime Dock (just picked one up this week)

Patriot Signature 32 GB Class 10 microSDHC (for Tablet)

SanDisk Extreme - Flash memory card - 32 GB - Class 10 SDHC (for dock, and yes I know I could've used class 4 devices, but I have hardware which can utilize the class 10 speeds)

Kingston Digital DataTraveler 101 Generation 2 - 32 GB Flash Drive (for dock)

--

Kingston DataTraveler 108 16 GB Flash Drive (not used atm but works fine with the usb port in the dock)

Stylus: Got a more expensive one but "Universal Smart Phone/ Smart Tablet Stylus Pen - 5 Pack" available on Amazon for (get this) $1.49 work _exactly_ the same.

No screen bleed at all, speakers are fine, my GPS is dead but I can live with that. WiFi is fine. BT works fine, and doesn't slow the wifi down at all. I guess it depends on what you're streaming.

-----------------------

I absolutely love my Prime. I had the GPS issues, but I could care less about GPS. WiFi works incredibly well.

I'm not an android power user, but am slowly becoming one. The more I work with this slate, the more I appreciate how much slicker it is than the rest of the tablets out there, specifically the iPad 2.

While yes there are some small problems, the tablet is incredible, and coupled with the dock, an amazing piece of kit.

I wouldn't give it up. I have one of the early revisions, a BCOKAS005, and may buy a second one just to test them side by side, but I feel completely satisfied with this tablet.

PRIME with DOCK > * --- The level of smoothness is incredible. Gotta love that 5th core! There is a wide selection of free and almost free software to handle any task. So far, I haven't had the dock long enough to show it off, but wherever I took the tablet, it was instantly the topic of conversation and EVERYONE wanted to try it!

It's so slick and thin, and looks like a netbook when docked/closed.

In short, this is the nicest slate I've played with, the most responsive and incredible amount of battery time.

HTH - If a minor issue (like non working GPS) bothers you, pick another tablet or wait for other tegra3 slates. However, for me I'm absolutely satisfied and feel money well spent.

Dave

I sold my laptop too and haven't regretted it. I love this thing and take it to work every day and use it on my dinner break. I love it! I play words and hanging with friends on the tablet and don't even play on my phone anymore. I think it's awesome! My EVO 3D had so many apps and whenever there is a cool game I want from Amazons free app I now put it on my tablet and not my phone. I love this thing so much.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JeffR714:
I love the Transformer Prime mainly for the power of the Nvidia Tegra 3 processing chip. I'm big on processors as well as video which the prime does quite well. Its a fabulous tablet!! As far as the GPS I just went out and got a small GPS receiver that solved the hardly used GPS solution. The keyboard is loaded with stuff that isn't on any other tab like USB ports SD card reader etc etc so there you have it

I had my Prime for a week now, and so far I must say I'm deeply impressed. Wouldn't trade it for another device. No light bleed or anything, great WiFi range. Just two minor issues:

- It once wouldn't wake up. I had to hold the power button down to restart it, and after that it told me the file system was corrupted and the whole device was reverted back to the factory defaults. This issue came up just after installing Blood and Glory, I skipped it this time and so far it works flawlessly.

- I like the Super AMOLED screen of my Note a bit more, the colours and the viewing angle is better there IMHO. But nevertheless, the screen of the Prime is more than satisfying.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] original G:
just got mine a few hours ago. I'm in love! I got some slight screen bleed that i see when the screen is colored black but it hasn't bothered me yet. internet is strong and i can stream my anime without a hitch. my laptop has trouble with this and my rooted viewsonic Gtab couldn't at all. Coming from the gtab this is like night and day! It's even better than my wife's ipad 1 overall. sure her ipad is still much smoother but the overall experience is much more pleasant on the prime. never used an ipad 2 but i assume that the prime gives a similar experience depending on what you want to do and what your expect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hondarider525:
This thing is absolutely awesome. I pretty much haven't put it down since Christmas, and I haven't touched my laptop since then. It's light, powerful, versatile, and best of all mine has absolutely none of the reported hardware issues. I did notice the browser is slow, but the market and future ics update are both enough for it to not really bother me. This is one of the most useful products that I own, it lasts me throughout the day, and even my phone is lasting longer now that I'm using this for most of my internet usage. This is definitely a ten out of ten.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dakine:
Look OP dont take this personally but its obvious there are some real issues with the rollout if this product: Broken wifi, gps, screen bleeding, loose screens, color casts, dead pixels, and sub par performance. This product was clearly not ready for release. Asus usually makes quality products but you will not help anyone by ignoring the issues. Releasing broken products seems to becoming a habit for many manufacturers. We need to quit giving android products a break and demand a higher standard.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
sub par performance really? have you ever used a honeyomb tablet before they are slow as **** this thing is smooth and fluid
