See, we were right that you received a dud (I did as well but for other reasons as yours was) and if you returned it and bought a new one that you would share the experience that a lot of other people have. I am glad that this worked out for you. BTW I like the skin on your TFP.

Can't wait to try jelly bean on the prime

I really don't have any problems with my prime overall its just an amazing devices and whit the dock its just even more amazing :)

Only annoying things is the browser

Do we know when were going to get the JB update yet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
Ummm... now? Have you not read ANY of the general section?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chrae:
I actually do like my prime extremely well.

And, I've just gotten the official JB upgrade, so now I'll have to play around with that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guardzero:
I've got to say they weren't kidding about project butter on this thing. Super smooth after the JB update and a reboot. I'm using nova launcher as my main launcher and I've never seen it this smooth. It's noticeably smoother to scroll. I also haven't noticed any screen tearing (which wasn't a huge deal to me before). Never had any major issues with the Prime. Web and wifi never cause me any problems, so the only real addition in this update for me was project butter, google now (which is awesome!) and extra settings in the settings menu. Gotta say Android keeps getting better and better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
Really wow no I haven't ready anything I just come here when I get replies to threads I've commented on. I've been busy and didn't know the upgrade is here already. I'm going to get my tablet now to see. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Voodoo OTA rootkeeper didn't work for me this roundabout, so it's that or a waiting game for a new root method. I think I'm about to try and check out the file system over adb and check it out against the debugfs code, since people are saying it doesn't find the system partition for JB. Just bringing it up as a slight warning, everyone enjoy the official update :D

Even though everything root is now lost on me, and I've played with JB plenty on my phone, it's nice to see it on my tab now without voiding warranty and it's acted pretty nice so far. A few hiccups here and there, but mainly from bumbling around not realizing I had SU installed but no actual root permissions.

Im very happy with my prime. bought it from a guy on craigslist and ive had no issue's what so ever from it for well over a week so far.Paid 400 bucks for the tablet and dock with the boxes that it came in and still hade plastic on both pieces. all he ever did was turn it on once or twice.

knew it was a risk but i took it. Everything on the unit seems to work fine wifi here at work works great. Full bars which is suprising since my iphone 4s only gets 2 in this room. no light bleed and no dead pixels. only issue i have is with the sound when viewing video via the web browser. when using a music app or video saved to my prime it is loud and clear. when using web based video though it is tiny and i can't even hear it most of the time with my ear to the speaker. not a major problems but a problem none the less.

also have a issue with the design of the volume rocker and power button. simply put they are hard to find in the dark

has completely replaced my laptop as my main source for internet browsing and with multiple MMORPG's like Order and Chaos and Vendetta which has fully replaced my WOW and EVE Online addiction and i can say i will never go back

Also I am a avid Emulator junkie and everything for mame to neogeo to the ps1 is emulated and works very well. I use the ps3 controller i have to play those and that's something i could never get on the IPad.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TANIS8585:
I can't deny that.... I think IOS is better for the phone enviroment and android is better on tablets..... but Iphone 5 can suck it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fleurdelisxliv:
no way dude ios is trash! why are we arguing on here when we are five feet away lmao! :silly: do some work
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TANIS8585:
How bout you try being more open minded. Both have their pro's and con's... at least im not too ignorant to realise this. I do have freedom and that's my choice on what i buy. you have the same right. whether i disagree with that is a mute point. While i know this site is going to biased and lean towards android as the be all and end all of mobile devices I don't see why calling someone dumb for liking something different is called for. Your not having to use it.

I received a Prime as a birthday gift from family about 2 days ago. When I found out I immediately came here to research read all the various negative posts proceeded to bang head with all the things I may have to do regarding problems. Then found out it was a refurb bang head more. Package arrived looked like the shippers used it as a football one side was split open yea definitely bang head. Opened outer box to find the inner box i perfect condition open that box outside of prime looks perfectly fine minus the scratches on the case being a refurb I expected that the screen was perfect not a single scratch. I proceeded to charge the device finally got enough charge to boot and play around. Updated the apps then decided time for firmware hmm error turn off wifi turn on retry update went right through to .28 yea i was a couple updates behind JB update took 2 times turning wifi off and on then it went right through. I am happy to report everything just works minus the gps but that's expected. Gps is good enough for location but not driving wifi is great even outside my house ANR's have yet to see one on the device. Now just waiting for root cause yea didn't root before going to JB but that's my fault not the Prime's. As far as OS and the device is concerned everything works without problems games are beautiful all other apps I tried work without issue OS is smooth and responsive. I think we have a happy Prime owner here sorry about those that aren't.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
I have had mine for a week. WiFi on other devices is stronger in the same spot but still works fine since I am not at a range limit on anything.

OS is smooth, enjoyed root until the update and it fubared =/

It does what it is supposed to I can't complain.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrtnthrsn:
After udating to Jelly Bean,it has been very good.

Of the other tablets I have tried, it is by far the best for games.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] valentinrascu:
2 days i try to update to jelly without succes....i install full ics firmware and nothing.lost root and everything.

JB is IMO the biggest step so far from ASUS in an attempt to save the company reputation since the release of this tablet. The prime is now running as it was supposed to since the beggining. Very smooth, fast, no ANR, good browser experience, great 3D games playing, much better response in the screen while handwriting or drawing. It was worth the wait, asus is on the right direction.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawkeye12:
I have had my Prime since January and the only issue I have had was an occasional flicker for the three weeks leading up to the JB update and that was only when using the browser. And I haven't had it since the update (but that was only two days ago).

I have stayed stock (an absolute first for me) and have not had a single issue with any of the updates. I started to get some some lag so did a factory reset and everything went back to normal. I really haven't had a single complaint. And since I never planned on using this as a navigation device (that is what I have TomTom and my Rezound for) the GPS more than meets my needs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copc:
I have had my Prime since day #1 Pre-ordered it a local Game Stop, the 1st day of sale I was calling every 1/2hr and it finally arrived, I was the 1st one in the store to pick up one up.

I have enjoyed it since day one!

Yes there have veen SNAFU's GPS/dongle but thait is all good now and behind us. ICS worked fine, got an occasional ANR but not a huge deal.

Web browsing was a bit laggy, but I dealt with it.

JB arrived and now we are talking! smooth as butter, and it just works!

Thank you ASUS for the update, yes it could have been quicker, but it could have been filled with bugs as well! :good:

HA! Jellybean fixed the audio lag when streaming via bluetooth. Really liking 4.1.1.

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yuhfhrh:
I also have to give Asus a +1 for their Jelly bean update. Now just let me unlock my device please!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
This isn't a big deal but all my multi player games I play on my phone are on my tablet and I am now addicted to Sing Pop. I had to hard reset my phone cause of a reboot it kept doing over and over and this am I was playing the game on my tablet cause I was told not to put any apps on my phone yet and it plays better there was a slight lag before and now it's fast. Plus a you tube video someone sent me buffered on my computer and i had tried it on my tablet and it did the same thing but I just tried it again and there is no lag or buffer. So I am very Happy with Jelly Bean and this tablet it's the best... Can't wait for Jelly Bean on my HTC EVO 4GLTE which I should get in a couple months I think. My friend has the Transformer before the Prime and she didn't get the update wonder if she will?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brandi:
the prime is king! So fast, so nicely fabricated and so beautiful!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TransformerPrime:
+1 for the Jelly Bean update! After a few days since the update on my prime tablet, it's now at the level that I expected it to be when I first bought it. I am very pleased with the tablet now! And so won't be checking the forum here now as often as before :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Glad to see the good responses regarding new jb update.

I do miss my prime though :( just glad that alot of previous people critcal of primes flaws are now happy with device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] catman51:
I was happy before the update, and I'm happier with my Prime after.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dutch81:
Just wanted to drop in and say that after receiving my refurb Prime that I previously posted about. I signed up for the gps dongle even though the offer says its expired and my prime is a refurb Asus still sent me out one free of charge without any hassle. All I did was sign up for it. So now all I need is root access on JB and my Prime will be everything I wanted it to be.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rail205:
Well I took my chances and bought a used Prime with Dock 300$. So far loving it. Running JB stock and its smooth. As for WiFi no problems so far. Was nervous after reading all the complaints. So far fantastic.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
Still running great. JB and me switching to Nova Launcher Prime made everything faster and smoother. :)

Only thing I'm down on now is that today I got the SGIII and wish my Prime was like, it is very fast, scary that it's doing that on ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shelfty:
Always been as supportive as I can of my prime but it even got to me how much it locked up and how stuttery and laggy it is. Then I got JB and things got a little better. Got recommended to do a factory reset. WOAH.. finally after 10 months the prime is where it always should have been. I get 100% flawlessly smooth usage, much much improved browser experience. I'm very happy!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MadssiDK:
I really like the JB update to

And the io problems seems much much better imo than on ics

But not sure
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] peterv6:
I've only had mine for a few weeks but it's working great, only thing not working is GPS but that I knew and don't need.:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keitht:
Got mine yesterday and outside of the GPS disappointment, this thing is awesome so far! It is so thin, light and fast! I don't think I can touch my Xoom again. Man, I wish they had not screwed up the GPS otherwise, this would have been perfect! Well, USB port would have also been nice to make it perfect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nomad 666:
Is this a hard cover?

I'm thinking along the lines of cutting a hole in the back-plate to aid GPS & WIFI then fitting an aftermarket cover?

Good Idea?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
Perhaps it was something they identified in some of the earlier tablets. The official UK release date is the 12th (same as ICS)....I wonder if the ones that roll out with ICS in the box will have had any minor hardware tweaks?

I have been drooling over this for months and the negative backlash has made me think twice...This thread however has definitely got me 'excited' again. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Im getting mine ETA 1 hour. ;)

Soaking up some last minute positive vibes here in the hopes ill get a perfect prime.

Most of all, I pray for a screen without defects, a dead pixel would drive me nuts.

So gimme those happy customer rays, I want to be part of this thread in 2 hours! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zeroburn:
Got mine on Tuesday from Comet via the post, was fearful when I opened the box about it being held together with tape but....

It's just about perfect, build quality is great, feels solid both in and out of the dock, performance is amazing and for the first time I think it shows to people who see it that android outperforms Apple offerings (roll on ICS!). My wifi doesn't seem to be too bad (without actual figures to back it up) but I haven't encountered other issues except a small degree of bleed (nothing worse than my original Tab had) and a single stuck pixel that was hard to spot on a black background and is invisible in normal use.

And you know what? I don't care cos it rocks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
That's the whole purpose and mission of this thread. To let people know there are lots out there very happy and satisfied with their device. also that not everyone sufffers from the issues some describe, aside from GPS. like mines, other than GPS sketchy, mines works perfectly. its absolutely a great device. I let my woman have my Ipad..lol

I hope your Prime satisfies your expectations. I would think that newer units rolling out would be more than likely to be defect free. Alot of people reporting issues were just so influenced by the posts that they're just looking for something to be wrong. just use device as you normally would any other. I can't lie though, after seeing a few people report dead pixels n such, I got the app from marketplace to test for that. I'm happy to say my display is defect free and no dead or stuck pixels. the app I used is called Screen Test. its free. o know you anxious to get your prime..lol. best of luck to defect free device n make sure to let us know your impressions on it. make sure to let it charge up fully first. I'd still mess around with it while charging up. The box prime comes in is pretty fancy also. The cloth that comes in there cleans the screen off very easily. although screen fingerprint magnet, the display more than bright enough to not even notice and the included cloth cleans very easily. I wish my Ipad screen would clean off as easily as Prime does. Prime has some special kind of coating on screen or something to make it so easy to clean.

Glad to hear you're enjoying your device.

We only have a few days left people till ICS releases

;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tairen:
Just received my and I've been playing with it the last couple hours. Gotta say I love it. Can't wait for ICS to roll out because that will make this tablet a whole lot better! GPS works, wifi works, and I can feel the power under the hood. Oh and it feels great holding it too!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I'm going to start w/ the bad and end with the good, so please don't stop reading after the next paragraph and complain that I'm being negative in the positivity thread.

As far as GPS and WiFi, they're not great. I'm pretty sure that the people saying they're "perfect" haven't really tested them out (unless "perfect" merely means that the GPS can find a few satellites when sitting still and the WiFi can connect to the Internet ;) ). More specifically, since the last update, the GPS will lock onto satellites, but has trouble holding onto them when driving. As for the WiFi, it's a bit on the weak side compared to many other devices (I've tested it in comparison to an iPad 1, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, and OG Droid). The problem is that the signal received by the Prime fluctuates, causing bigger speed drops than normal when moving away from the router. Whether this can be improved with software remains to be seen.

I just wanted to set that straight. With all of that said, I absolutely LOVE my Prime. Those two issues aside, it's amazing. The build quality is wonderful - it really is a sexy device. It's also very fast, and should only get better with ICS. I've practically been unable to put it down since I got it last week. It's an awesome device, and I'm very glad I purchased it.

In short, if you want a Prime and are thinking about not getting it b/c of some of the negativity surrounding it, the only reason I would tell you not to get it is if you need the GPS for navigational purposes. I wish the WiFi was a bit stronger, but I don't think it's a deal breaker.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Yes i have the screen protector on also.. At first i didnt read the directions right and it looked like a used condom...

I took it off and sprayed my primes screen and the protector with alot of the stuff they give you in the bottle and re-applied it. It looks great now with only a few tiny bubbles that will go away. I'm very happy with skinomi carbon skin for the prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Haven't looked back to see what cover you're asking about, but I've been thinking that when I finally get mine in a month or so I'm going to take some diamond-tipped tools to the casing after I run some initial tests. If GPS turns out working at least OK I won't mess with it, but the moment I see the issues I've been hearing of I'm busting it apart and either just making a new grate pattern over the antennas (would prefer not to, but this would be easiest) or just making one large window and fitting my own plexi-glass cover into it. It would take considerable work, especially for such an expensive, new product, but done correctly it could completely fix the issues and give it a new fashion statement.

I just hope that ordering it as late as I did, and its estimated delivery date being an entire month away, that I get a model that does have the chip in it. I'm going to raise all kinds of hell with Amazon/Asus if I get one of their "fixed" models with GPS removed considering I placed my order before that ridiculous anouncement.

Getting back to the thread at hand, I of course don't have mine yet, but all the complaints aren't changing my mind! I think this thing looks too good and fun to pass up, and is an absolute god-send since I've been considering a laptop for years and have wanted a tablet for a couple. I do think Asus dropped the ball a bit, seems this product was kind of rushed, but I think I'll still be so very happy with it ^.^

Prime is nice

I have had mine for two days now and i am absolutely in love with it. I was worried with reading about yellow screens, Light bleeds, and faulty wifi. i just knew i was unlucky enough to get a problem prime. To my surprise it has been excellent. The firmware update was fast and smooth. Rooting was super easy, and this thing feels great in my hands. It is super fast. the internet loads pages fast without checkerboarding. I did notice a little lag in a few apps, mainly netflix. Gps I have no need for it for what my plans are with the prime. I Have not even tested it just dont care about it. I know after set up the apps that rely on it picked up my location instantly for the weather widgets, but that could be due to wifi. This is my first tablet so I have nothing to compare it to, but i am very pleased. Great Product overall. Oh and last night reading a good night book with my two year old falling asleep in my arms made the prime even better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jasrub2:
Got mine 2 days ago, and so far have had ZERO problems with it. Was able to install the updates with no problems, and am having a blast with it so far. Can't wait to see how ICS will make it even better. :)

Got mine from best buy and love it

Can't complain except the Asus keyboard isn't the best but I use smartkeyboard anyways

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] captainstabbin:
After reading all the negative comments on here AFTER I had already ordered, I was nervous that I would be really upset with the purchase. That is not the case at all! My Prime seems to be absolutely flawless. Great screen color, no yellow tint, awesome battery life, GPS locks on just fine, no light bleed at all, good wi-fi, super fast and smooth, awesome construction.

I really can't say a bad thing about the tablet itself at all. It's the best tablet I've ever used thus far. The only issue I've had was a bout with some Google+ service force closing, but I put a stop to it quickly and haven't had any other issues at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Yes, yes it is.

I have here my first tablet and also first android device,

and my first impression after fidlding with it for half an hour is.. wow!

Is this really the grief causing beast that is being discussed here in this forum?

Screen is flawless, wifi chugging along at 30mbps, touchscreen very responsive.

Shes a beauty!

Haven't tested GPS yet, and im not going to expect a whole lot from it, but ill have a look lateron.

So yeah.. bottom line, I picked one up and its fantastic!

Asus made me a happy camper with this pretty slate.

So dont get discouraged people, this IS a nice machine!
