[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Not Asus bashing or anything, but assuming the Lenovo and Acer Teg3's that'll be announced in a few days are available by late-February, why wouldn't you consider those as options? No matter what the devs do the Prime's always going to have signal issues because of its design and will never have 5GHz Wi-Fi, two speakers, etc? Again, just curious how people are looking at things.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
The reason i go for the prime is the dock^^ In fact thats the reason i'm interested in a tablet to begin with. Its just a very well rounded device offering everything i'm looking for.

With an unlocked bootloader, the ability to play games with a gamepad, full usb port and hdmi out there is really nothing more i could wish for :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] movielover76:
I already see the slower download speed and I've had file transfers over wifi timeout, but that still doesn't show if the issue is hardware or software.

Waiting for ICS update, if that doesn't fix it, it's going back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_Ninjak:
My 64GB Amethyst Gray is at UPS waiting for me to pick it up this evening. Unfortunately, I'll likely be putting it up on eBay unopened an hour later. While I could just return it for a refund, there are other people for whom the GPS, wifi, and lack of 5GHz support aren't issues. At least this way someone else can be happy with the device soon as opposed to waiting for future shipments. I'm going to hold off for the Acer Iconia A700/A701 or another Tegra3 tablet. I hate to have to do so, but an unlocked bootloader and ICS in a couple of weeks doesn't compensate for unfixable physical problems. No, I never intended to use my Prime as a GPS while in a car, but I'm not happy with Asus' "solution" to dealing with an advertised feature that they bungled and decided to "fix" by delisting it. If some third party decides to sell a plastic backing for the Prime, that'd be nice, but I'm not going to spend extra money to fix something that should just work properly out of the box. The GPS aside, as a non-3G/4G device, I can't have its wifi signal or range limited by the aluminum backing. I had to sadly return my Galaxy Nexus for signal issues (mine couldn't hold a signal even on 3G) and I'm not going to settle now in hopes of things getting better later. If they were to release a new revision later addressing the issues, I'd have considered it, but it doesn't look like that will occur. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Three words...

Truthfully, I don't know what Asus was thinking. You'd think having to go to the expense of putting in two antennas just to barely get what other tablets do with one would have had them rethink the design. It obviously hosed GPS and it's too early to tell but there may be some BT issues. And for what? :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you always crack me up. The Reason is we living in the now! I think you should get a Prime also since being involved heavily in its discussion. you know deep down you want one bad as a mofo, despite the GPS flaw. you can tell me. Resistance is Futile! You will be Assimilated :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
If I get back in to electronics, I'm sending you one of each of my products for free. I want people like you promoting and defending them. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
ran out of thanks.....THANKS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] novaIS350:
Sorry to hear you all are having problems/second thoughts. I just received mine and put it through its paces. I am running ICS 4.0.3 on my Xoom, I have an iPad 2 for work, after comparing the 3 I can honestly say the prime blows everything out of the water. Its fast, smooth, and sexy. 1080p high profile videos play without a hiccup, 1080p flash videos play smoothly, the UI is smooth despite being HC 3.2, GPS works well, and the battery is awesome.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
How does the wifi compare to the Xoom when at distances far from the router, both in regards to speed and the ability to hold a signal?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] novaIS350:
It;s the same for me. I tried going upstairs and downstairs, no difference in bars. but I would need to download a signal strength app to really determine if there a difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
mine has 1 dead pixel that i think got unstuck sometime over the 1st week of owning it. small back light bleed on top when booting but never really in any apps. GPS and wifi are great, comparable to my bionic which i always thought was decent in those regards. only real complaint is 1 bright spot under the screen like back light bleeding in the middle of the screen, pretty sure i'm looking at a back light led....i already learned to live with it as it's only noticeable when i'm looking right at it. super smooth and not going back as of yet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theoilman:
yeah the dock is the reason I'm still considering the prime. really without the dock I can hardly bring myself to justify buying a tablet at all. I'd probably wait 6 months for one of those touch screen ultrabooks that I'm sure will be all over CES.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] qynt:
Not returning but I just cancelled my Amazon and BH preorders.

I really, really wanted this but with potential WIFI, bleed, GPS, etc. issues I will wait until they ship and see how good it actually is...don't need a $500 paper wait. Sadly, I sold my Transformer a month ago anticipating the elusive, AWOL Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aimfire72:
My 2nd TF from Tiger Direct came in today and this one is even worse! Right out of the box I see a big bright dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Right side has excessive light bleed and glass also pushes in along that side as well. The first one I got from BB is way better by comparison, so I guess I'll keep that one.

I can't believe they are QC'ing these at all, looks like they rush them off the line and put them in the box. :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aimfire72:
Exactly! Asked myself today why I'm even bothering with this thing and remembered "oh yeah, the dock". Aside from being the first with Tegra 3 and ICS, I can't really see any other benefits, I'm sad to say.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] strikethreeout:
Argh, so many dead pixel stories.

I got mine today and I see 3 screen imperfections:

One dot (I'm not sure if this is a dead pixel), like the size of the top of a nail, that is whiter/brighter than its surroundings (there's actually another one like this but it's more subtle -- which I could live with)

One dot that is gray/darker than the background.

Also, I found a spec of dust that seems to be in between the glass. I tried wiping it but it is definitely in the glass.

I'm not a big stickler over light bleed but this kind of **** is annoying to read with. I don't even mind the GPS issues -- but you better get the screen right. I think I might just RMA once; and if this happens again, I'll give up on Asus and wait for something else.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_FNG:
:(

I'm returning my 32GB Gray Prime to Office Depot. I was so excited to even GET one in the first place. (I previously cancelled orders for the 64GB as well) I've used this now for several days.

1) Touch sensitivity sucks compared to TF101 (I was chastised for posting a thought about this)

2) My "old" TF101 currently is getting 29Mbps over wireless. The best my new Prime as done is 19Mbps. (I have a Netgear WNDAP360 WAP installed in the attic, and these are live comparisons, and I'm on Charter with their 100Mbps offering.)

3) I don't care about GPS, but I DO care about overall functionality, and my old, UPS-damaged TF101 outperforms this Prime.

My question is when does one purchase the "remediated" version of the Prime?

When can one be sure that the retail-channel only has the "fixed" versions in stock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Im going to try and return mine.

Next to the router im hitting 40mbps on speedtest.net,

downstairs (1 wood ceiling and 10ft of air) im barely hitting 0.5mbps.

Netbook in same locations hitting a solid 50mbps (!!!).

So something stinks. :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ogar1978:
GPS only works when standing Still

Bluetooth disconnects randomly

720p video streams fine when in the same room however when I am in my bedroom less then 30 feet away my video is unplayable.

I am unable to return the unit due to return policies.

I will wait for other tablets to release later this year and will never purchase a single ASUS prodcut again which includes future Computer components.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madpoet:
I wish I could return mine but I'm outside the BB 14 day window :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wtd03:
Add me to the dead pixel crew. I just got mine last night from the UPS man. Opened it, plugged it in and immediately on the setup screen saw dead pixels and light bleed. I dont know how this got past QC OR maybe they just didnt care.

Asus just took better precautions with the TF101. At that price point it beats Prime all day long (until these issues are fixed)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] devast8sjl:
Loose Glass

Got my gray 64 yesterday and the right side of the display seems to be raised like some others have pointed out. Serious quality control issues for a $600 product.:mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
Two returned for screen issues here... My second was for the reason you described first. Weird light behind the screen issue like an led pressing against the screen or something.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chevdor:
Asus may simply remove WIFI from the box as well.

Ok, that was a nasty one but hey... Problem with GPS, they remove it. Ok...we still pay full price and for many, no GPS is no killer.

I personally don't trust ask the people who report issues. I think we are in some kind of paranoia where people test useless stuff to check if their tablet is the absolute tablet.

I also think that unlike iPad users, the TF users are more technically skilled. As a result, an iPad users opens the box, if an image shows up when powering the device, it is all good. When a TF users gets a tablet, he starts doing some QA that Asus seems not to have fine until the end.

I really considered getting a TF. I don't trust half of the people reporting problem. The remaining half is still too big for me to trust the product.
[HTC Jetstream] ElCamino:
Just picked up the JS a few days ago and the screen turns off in the middle of reading. It's not timing out because I have set my time to 2 minutes. It shuts off within 20 seconds. Very strange. It requires me to restart the JS then works like normal until the next time and same problem. Anyone having this issue?
[HTC Jetstream] bmw-boy:
which version AT&T or Rogers
[HTC Jetstream] ElCamino:
AT&T... I wonder if this has anything to do with unlocking.
[HTC Jetstream] dg5976:
Im having the same issue. I have unlocked it from ATT as well

Any one why this is happening and how to fix it?
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
happend to me for a while..

restrat fixed it for me.
[HTC Jetstream] bmw-boy:
All of us need the RUU for AT&T to fix a lot bugs
[HTC Jetstream] ElCamino:
Ok, seems that after shutting down the JS for a bit and restarting has also fixed this issue. So far since yesterday I haven't had the screen shut off. So seems everything is ok for now.
[HTC Jetstream] feherhollo:
Same bug for me. :( Waiting for S-OFF to try rogers rom or ATT RUU update.
[HTC Jetstream] StriderRyu:
This happens on mine all the time. I haven't unlocked it so it's all ATT settings. I even traded mine in for another because of a separate issue and this new one does it all the time as well. I'm wondering if it might be a lingering issue with LTE because I've seen all the problems that caused originally and I've noticed that when my mobile antenna is off, it doesn't seem to restart. I'll try testing mine more thoroughly and get back to you guys.
[HTC Jetstream] rangercaptain:
Are you in Houston or Boston area? The LTE rollout in those areas introduced bugs that have caused reboots, etc. It will go away in a few.
[HTC Jetstream] feherhollo:
Please help to solve this bug. Its going me crazy. I will break my jetstream. Its really going me mad. Please someone s-off this device to be able to flash the rogers rom.
[HTC Jetstream] rangercaptain:
Take the sim card out.
[HTC Jetstream] StriderRyu:
It happened to me twice today. I'm in Irvine (Orange County, CA) and we have LTE coverage. I'm going to pull the SIM and use it for a few days and I'll report back.

On a separate note, I seem to remember reading somewhere about a way to get the battery meter to work more consistently. I notice that when I charge this thing overnight it oftentimes shows that the battery has only crawled up a measly 5% or so. Later if I play around with it for awhile it suddenly jumps up like 80%. I remember glancing at a posting somewhere (maybe not on this forum) where someone had a method they said helped with this issue that involved draining the battery completely. Could anyone point me towards the method if they know of one? Apologies for off-topic.

Yesterday It told me I was in the middle of manhatten when I was in the middle of Brooklyn.

That was with GPS and 4g on

It was a few miles off
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
to the people that thik this is easy sorry i'm just not really savvy with all this. i also want to know if this issue is a software problem or a hardware problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shaklee3:
I've tried the solution to fix the GPS in the other thread, and while it made it better, mine still has locking issues occasionally. I don't know if it's HW or SW, but a reboot is the only thing that fixes it.

[General Questions and Answers] bardasCat:
Hy,I would like to know more about the android versions and custom roms.

1)Why some devices do not support new versions of Android?

Why is not working as a PC operating system? For example when windows7 appeared most of the PCs could install windows 7.

2) Why is possible using a custom rom like cyanogen to update to a newer version of android although this version is not released by the producer. Ex. install ics on galaxy S.

3) Using a custom ROM can update a device from the first version of Android to the latest one?

Thank you for your help.

Catalin
[General Questions and Answers] l337m45732:
To answer your questions as best I can...

1. Most phones can support almost any version of android. It all has to do with their chipset.

2. When a custom ROM is created, it is based on a certain version of the OS. It is custom because it is modded by developers to be compatible with different devices.

3. Yes. This is true depending on, again, the device and the developers. For me, I have had many devices that were on froyo 2.2. And would not get an OTA update. Whereas a custom ROM could kick it up to gingerbread 2.3 or ice cream sandwich 4.0.

I hope this helps! :)
[General Questions and Answers] 3rdsurfer:
1. the problem is with your carrier or manufacturer usually. some push updates through fast, others test updates before letting users update. also older phones get forgotten. a new phone will be more likely to get updated than an old one. they want you to buy a new one

2 and 3 what i337 said. i would just add that using a rom bypasses the problem in #1
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Also one of the big issues are the drivers. The open source drivers work but don't use the hardware to the fullest. Also non of the OEM related apps and stuff work on AOSP roms. Then you have app compatibility issues with AOSP roms as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ljayhova:
Has anyone else noticed this? I was getting pissed that I stopped getting my notifications and the only way I could get new emails was to manually go in and refresh. As soon as I uninstalled Go Launcher I immediately started getting notifications again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I cannot believe how unintuitive Zune software is.

Just try to edit a playlist in any manner. F*cking impossible.

I have an existing playlist on my phone called "workout". I wanted to add some songs to it. Nope. Nothing doing. That is beyond the scope of what's possible with today's technology.

Right clicking does nothing. Oh you can drag the name of the playlist or individual songs around. But you can't drag them to anywhere. Just around the screen I guess for your own amusement before you release the mouse button and the little icon disappears.

So I open the Zune player on my phone (which doesn't recognize the album the songs are from... even though I edited the meta data in Zune software and f*cking told them what the album is), go to the song and select "save to playlist".

It asks me to name it. Uh, ok.

I go to the next song, select save to playlist. Asks me to name it again. Oh I get it, this is like DOS where we just name where we're putting it.

Let's go check on our new playlist shall we?

It's actually two playlists, and they contain the same songs. When you select "save to playlist", it just saves ALL the songs from that artist in a playlist. How f*cking useless is that?? There are ballads from that artist that I don't want coming up when I'm about to bench press my craptacular 10 pounds or whatever.

Is it just... IMPOSSIBLE, to create software that is straightforward and doesn't require a manual??

** - disclaimer - I went right from trying to figure it out to here. Didn't google for help or anything, because, above all, I shouldn't HAVE to. F*cking ridiculous.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I don't see how it gets any easier that selecting songs, hitting right click, and saying add to playlist

Edit: Agreed that playlist editing on Windows Phone is a joke though. It essentially just allows you to save your current Now Playing playlist
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
That would be great... however as I stated, right click brought no such options. And I right clicked EVERYTHING.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
In your collection, you're telling me if you right click (on an artist, album, song, genre, pretty much damn near anything) that you don't get a context menu with some of the following options (and many more)?

Play

Play Smart DJ Mix

Sync with XXXX

Add to Playlist

Add to burnlist
[Windows Phone 7 General] 66stang351:
I don't understand the problem. It works just like adding songs to your phone. If you are in the Playlists tab, you can click and drag down to your phone...in the lower left...or right click and add to phone. If you are anywhere else, you can drag songs down to your Playlist...it's right down in the corner next to your phone or burn to CD...or you can right click and add to playlist. You can do this with individual songs or an album or artist.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prohibido_por_la_ley:
my points exactly,I don't understand the difficulty. I never edited a playlist in Zune PC software. I made them entirely on my phone but I saw the playlist option there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I'll explain what I'm looking at right now, since you people think I'm blind or have selective vision.

I'm in Zune software. In "Phone", "music"... and I don't even see the songs I want to add to the playlist (the new ones I added to the phone yesterday). They're not showing up. HOWEVER I was just out with the dogs, listening to them, so I know they're there.

BUT, just for sh*ts and giggles, let's try this wonderous right-click.

Ok I've selected a song. Here is the context menu:

-copy to my collection

-delete from my phone

I am assuming I have to first copy songs to my PC (as when I click on a song that's on my PC, yes I see the "add to playlist"), then put them into a playlist. Well that's intuitive. Makes perfect sense. Why make it easy? Why make it easy when you can make it plodding and confusing.

None of that matters however since the Zune software doesn't even see the songs that are on my phone. So I can't copy them to my PC even if I wanted to.

And I'm not technically challenged. I've been a somewhat "tech" guy since I was a kid in the early 90's. I have a windows mobile device that I have enjoyed installing Android on (Omnia II), I set up our home network to share videos from PC's to XBox's and back (which is also incredibly "straightforward"). I know my way around the basics.

Zune software is flawed and hard to use. F*cking designers should understand that simplicity is key. Their OS that uses Zune software has incredibly easy folders/tree system. So what do they do? Change all the things! Moronic.

--edit--

And I still haven't even tackled how to edit my current playlist to delete some songs out of it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
The songs should've sync automatically. In "my collection", do you have "recent" selected?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Hmmm, I'm not sure. I'm in there now... and I don't see a "recent" word anywhere.

Is that an option as in "show recent"?

Or is it just an area that shows recent activity?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
Setup a new autoplaylist for recently added songs.

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Also say you bought some songs directly on your phone from Zune then connect your phone to the PC software, the new songs will sync to your local collection automatically. You just go to Collection and sort albums by date added.

The new songs/Albums will be listed first. Also as I mentioned if you create an autoplaylist for your recently added songs, you can find them here.

Editing playlists is best done in the Zune desktop player collection area rather than Phone -> Music. The latter simply shows you what is on the device and gives you the option to delete some freeing up space.
