Mine is fine too think I had light bleeding when it first setup but there's none now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
now we plan a robbery, and the tablet will be ours ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
Mine's perfect. No light bleed or pixel issues. No issues wifi or gps. Absolutely love the new design. It looks rich and feels like your holding something very solid. I think it feels much thinner and a little lighter. Gonna be a late night tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
shut it, this is what people are complaining about on these forums. theres no positive posts about the primes. If there was more people willing to post that they have good primes people wouldn't be walking away from the prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
When eVer I see a post showing doubt on the prime, I usually try to interject my positive experience with it. this is a great device. my Ipad just sits now. been using this device nonstop since I got it on 12/22
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyi1:
The only thing that bugs me about mine is that transferring files thru the usb cable is really slowbor gives errors. I have to use swiftp instead. Aside from that everything is great
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theoilman:
I can transfer large files between my phone and computer by USB, I don't see why the prime should be any different. could it be a defect, or maybe you don't have your settings right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
+1

except you have had it one more day then me
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
If you re-read what I said, it's not negative. The same could and does apply when someone posts an all negative thread. Taking any absolute position on a public forum is the equivelant of "kick me."

Transformer Prime

Have had no problem with mine. Everything works. Happy, Happy! Because of it being a tablet some of my phone apps don't work but I have found new ones. Have been transferring things between desktop, laptop and Transformer using ES File Explorer and have not needed to use usb. Speed of transfer has been good. Only problem has been some of the older apps have not been able to find the MicroSD card. Move the data to the internal storage and everything works.

Like it, still playing with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonalisa:
Mine seems to be perfect, as well.

I am in NH

Ordered 12/23 Best Buy

Received 12/28 (was shipped from Fresno, CA)

I am just wondering if it is possible to discern whether the good ones/bad ones where concentrated geographically? Or perhaps by retailer?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
Mine also works perfectly.one tiny spot of light bleed but can only see it in the dark. No dead or stuck pixels. GPS locks with and without wifi, even though I doubt I will use it at any point I wanted to see if it worked. Wifi is strong for normal usage though I haven't tested it with any apps it does have better range than my Droid charge does. No seperating glass issues or yellow colors.

I love it so far!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
I have issues with the stock browser and WiFi/GPS, but everything else is perfect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desert_mouse:
Gotta throw mine into the "working great" bin. I got it Dec. 22 in El Paso, Texas. Gamestop. GS employees were generally cool and helpful. I got it before I left back to Central America on the December 29 so while annoyed with the release of the Prime it wasn't more than that.

No light bleed or Wi-Fi issues. Same reception as iPad (I haven't tried ipad2) . Just used it in several airports while on my way back home. Was really please with its performance on that trip, which had lots if delays but battery handled it without problem.

This is my first tablet so I'm discovering new things every day.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
Same date of acquisition, same experience. I am burning some vacation time, and originally thought I was having less than optional battery life, then realized I was just playing too much with it. Working great here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quberto:
I was amazed to find that mine was perfect out of the box as well. For a first tablet this is certainly setting the bar high for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I know what you mean. for the people enjoying the device, we are using it like crazy. probably taxing the system more than reviewers did on battery tests..lmao. either way, even with nonstop heavy use, this gets great battery life. still amazed at how thin the Prime is and how great the display looks.

I need a case badly for this though. anyone know if any brick n mortar stores like Best Buy or Gamestop got any accessories or cases in yet? I really hope targus makes a case. I have the targas Truss case for my Ipad and it provides maximum protection, high quality leather, and great functionality options.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
im going to look for a case this weekend so ill keep you updated on which one i pick!

as for the device i am in love with it, its perfect best battery life better than i expected and it functions like a beast and is so powerful and gaming on this thing is insane i have not put it down
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Same here. I am not a fan of purchasing cases online because they're generally much crappier in person. My phone is covered in ghost wear protective film and I love it. Gotta see if they have it available for the Prime before i buy any random case online.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desert_mouse:
Amazon has a nice looking case on pre order set for January release. I think I'll get one of this eventually. In the meantime I have been very careful and I also added on a protective screen cover. I know it's Gorilla Glass but I don't want to risk it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Matstarr:
Just got mine at 6pm and it seems to be working perfectly:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gertschl:
Ordered mine on 12/22 from Newegg

Arrived on 12/28.

It is great. Awesome build quality, gorgeous screen, very responsive and great to hold...lol. Can't put it down.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mbieler:
Mine works fine too. Only if i push the brightness to the max (super ips+ enabled and full brightness) in a really dark room i can see a slight light bleed on the right side of the display.

Got the 64gb gold version at notebooksbilliger.de in Germany.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
Not trying to be negative nancy but your GPS's will not work in a practical sense of driving point A to point B dont believe me get in your car set a destination and start driving you will see it go haywire.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] original G:
i love mine! Had some screen bleed at setup then never saw it again. Its still there somewhere of course. Its much more fun than my wife's I pad 1 and leagues better than my vs tablet. I have no idea what people are experiencing with wifi. I dl gigs via torrent from downstairs with a relatively weak n router upstairs in a house with old wifi interferring bones. It is a little quirky every once in a while but much more stable than any other android tablet I've ever tried.

I just wish Asus would address some of the problems people are having so the loud majority can calm down. But the worst of them will just find something else to complain about. It makes the legit complaints seem less legit and minor problem seem earth breaking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
So a multi billion doller company designing a $500 product that will sell millions and their designers/engineers overlook something like putting an aluminum shield backplate that blocks GPS and WiFi signal DOES NOT seem like something MINOR. Sorry but anyone who thinks that is minor just doesn't deserve to have an opinion on this topic.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] techjunkie9194:
While no expert as this is my first tablet, I am a long time IT professional and very accustomed to reviewing equipment for quirks and problems prior to deployment.

I have had my prime since Wednesday the 28th and I have charged and drained it twice. In that time I have come to the conclusion that this is a marvelous piece of equipment. When on "balanced" or "normal" modes it is just smooth with everything I have done. On "Power Savings" it can exhibit a little lag but still very usable. My WiFi works, GPS locks quickly outside with or without WiFi though not strong, the screen is bright and crisp and it just works. Also, I have noticed that with Android it matters where you tap the screen for some actions. For instance if you want to close an app from running and you click right on the X the screen seems to not respond. If you click just below the X it does. It is not calibration since I can type on the keyboard with the same touch and speed as on my phone or my Son's iPad2 and have not experienced a problem with presses not registering. It just seems to be where the app expects the input from. Browsing is smooth and responsive including pinch to zoom and scrolling (when using Opera Mobile). My work provided phone is an iPhone 4 and its browser can lag when rendering a page and pinching to zoom or scrolling on some mobile sites. The Prime renders sites with more features/functions and I personally find it very acceptable.

I don't want to diminish others issues. Some are very real. I am just providing my experience and perspective so far. A few glitches down the road and I could change my tune as well.

I really hope that Asus focuses on production and gets the kinks worked out because a well built Prime is a thing of beauty to both behold and use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
I think it's minor and that it's my opinion
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
While all of this is true and the Prime is an amazing device if you really think about it the thing that really makes your jaw drop and say "wow really are you kidding me" is how they totally overlooked the all aluminum backplate interfering with WiFi and GPS signals like ummmmm hey dumbasses aluminum is kryptonite to RF signals......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] original G:
No I think you need to read again. Wifi is a legit complaint as is GPS (for some). Spout your crap in threads that call for it where your opinion is echoed. I think my $500 was well spent. Don't attack me because you're sour about your purchase.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
Well all that tells me is that if you owned your own business making electronic devices you would be ok with retards running your engineering department because clearly only retards would design an all aluminum backplate directy over WiFi and GPS devices.

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

I could care less about the GPS I dont even use it I can see the big picture thats all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] original G:
You purchased this all aluminum device knowing that aluminum interferes with RF signals. Wouldn't that make you a retarded consumer? :-)

What big picture? It an electronic device. Either you like it or you don't. The likes keep it and the dislikes return them and go else where.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thomslik:
Don't worry if any of the features should not work, Asus can just drop them from the specs as they did the GPS, and pretend they were never there. After all, *specifications are subject to change without notice.

You could ultimately end up with a really nice, sleek, digital picture frame using that logic!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] techjunkie9194:
I have to agree with you 100%. It is unfortunate that form overtook function in this case. You would think with the engineering knowledge that is out there and with even reasonable testing these issues could have been found in pre-production and corrected even if we didn't get a really cool looking spun aluminum back or had to have a corner with a plastic window.

That all said, however, the underlying machine is magnificent. My WiFi range is acceptable for my use and my GPS does function just not to the degree that it should. Both are acceptable for how I intend to use my Prime but I realize that everyone has requirements for their equipment and what works for one may be totally unacceptable for another.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] original G:
Perfectly said.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
that gives me hope. You ordered on the same date I ordered except I didn't overnight it, I used FREE shipping to IN, and due to the holidays+weekend it's sitting at a UPS right now here in IN for 3 days till Tuesday. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
You got one from the second batch you should be good the wait it's way worth it you're going to fall in love with the tablet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrokeefe:
Mine is from the bb 23rd order batch and is just plain ****ing gorgeous. I've been on this thing nonstop ever since its been in my hands and she works just as I expected if not exceeding my expectations.

Got lost in some YouTube last night and, man this thing looks AND sounds amazing. I love the single stereo speaker grill. Perfectly placed so that my hand naturally cups the speaker while chillin.

I'm running the ics live wallpaper at full color rendering and it makes it look even doper. No lags. No BS. Just consuming apps and processing heavy games like a champ. Dolphin running with 6 tabs loaded in desktop mode, unexited games running, splashtop splashing, texttab connected, and I can't see how anyone could *****.

Best tablet hands down. Just plain bad ass.....

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
just a FYI , I just saw a poll on the Transformerforum asking if people having any problems. over 70% of their users reported No Problems at all. plus their general section is not filled with a bunch of complaining threads. they actually talking about real stuff like how to do this or that, etc...they have moved on past release threads and ones on issues. looks like they loving the prime over there. why is it XDA Prime section not looking the same then? hmmm...lol

on another note, I've come to realize some of these new posters, complaining alot, coming out the woodworks talking like they know everything, are actually other members and banned ones under a different screenname..lol. they funny. gave themselves away posting certain things word for word and the way they carry themselves up here. SMH :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
I'll probably be leaving XDA soon heading to rootzwiki or transformers forms soon this forum is horrible
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Lol, true that. I believe the only "real" problem there is now is that the GPS isn't working good. WiFi has a slightly smaller range which isn't a problem for me. Those guys who are posting "it is lagging man wtf is this!!!11" mostly are trolls. Didn't see one video with it lagging.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
don't do that. then the trolls would have succeded. as long as we know the deal. we can easily sift through the b.s. plus Mods will be on the prowl alot more, soon enough. they will and know how to weed them out. especially once developement really starts rolling. I find the trolls funny and entertaining. lol no other forum has the developement clout like XDA or experience really.

feel the same way here also.

everytime I see a troll thread I start laughing honestly. cause all I can think of is that internet troll video from YouTube someone posted a while back here on someone. it was so funny. I will look for it and post it whenever I see a troll thread or comment..lmao that'll be hilarious. The trolls win when we get mad and argue with them. that's what they want. you have to kill them with kindness or ignore them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Well probably won't leave just won't be reading many of the threads mostly the troll threads there useless and people are ignorant

While I agree the trolls are funny they just press me off

But are good for a chuckle
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
I look the mark forum read button for these reasons lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nukeruss:
Mine is perfect also. Got it from EB cars a few days before Christmas but had to wait til Christmas to open it. The kids and I love the bt controller that came with it. GPS works fine and wifi is just as strong as my Droid x.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YOYO41:
I got my transformer prime 12/23/11 from game stop in Miami, so far is working really well, the way it should be, i had the Xoom, and the prime is way better,the reason number one is the screen, i could not stand the Xoom screen anymore really bad, but now I can not be more happy with my prime,none of the problems others are having, i think i was lucky.:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] techjunkie9194:
I am in your boat. Other than weak GPS my Prime is as near perfect as I could ask for. Can't wait for ICS just to see what it brings to the table. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] don_cheadle:
I would really like to seem some screen shots from people reporting their GPS is working correctly. I have yet to see anyone with GPS signal strength in the green.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justwonder:
Nothing in the world is perfect, but I'm happy with mine
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vitalero:
Where did you buy? i really wanna get one but im afraid it will be with problems like most of the forum have written, my other problem is that im in the US once a week[mostly every friday] so returning it and waiting for new one is a big problem for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
Everyone who thinks there Prime is perfect all I can say is yes your Prime is perfect to you because you are not going to use it as a GPS and thats fine. If one day you decide you want to you will realize real world street to street direction with the GPS does not work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mywingtophone:
here's my. GPS signal aquired in lessthan 2min. notice that I don't have a wifi signal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keitht:
What happens when you drive around (no wifi) using My Tracks for example? Does the tracking keep you on your actual path or show you driving through buildings and forests?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JanetPanic:
I have not done extensive tests but my GPS locks on fairly quickly without wifi. I have not driven with it yet but walking in town I had decent accuracy (10m) when held horizontally, less decent accuracy when held vertically (40m if I remember correctly). As of this moment my observations are anecdotal at best however. I will play around with it more tomorrow.

Overall I have been pleased with my prime, I do not seem to have the bleed or yellow screen issues and it seems significantly snappier than my xoom (which I had no issues with either).

I am a little concerned about the charging port but I guess time will tell on that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] don_cheadle:
I'm glad it works for you, but that is some piss poor accuracy and signal strength.

It seems there are quite a bit of defective units floating around with no gps and shoddy WiFi. The ones that DO work seem to have piss poor GPS performance.

However, if they don't fix the case interference, it'll be good enough for my purposes (theft protection). I just hope nothing else is wrong with it as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
What other wifi tablets have better GPS strength reading than the Prime? How come nobody's posted side by side pics of competing tablets running the GPS Test. Seems like people are mostly comparing them to data Cellphone GPS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Two minutes, from a cold boot, flight mode on, inside a concrete house, and 20' from a window. 11 satellites and acuracy to 15' in less time than it takes the Prime to boot. And in using a G-Tab, Zoom, and Jetstream for navigation, I can say tablets typically get better results than phones. There's less internal interference because they're larger and they typically have bigger antennas.

Seriously, after Asus has already acknowledged the problem is there any reason to continue to debate it?

[YOUTUBE]fUtOomelSTc[/YOUTUBE]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] prenedo:
I see all these negative threads (not that nobody's mentioned that yet); but does anyone stop and think that maybe Asus could five a f*** about HC and is focusing on making there ics release flawless. They sure as hell aren't gonna let the og tf operate better than the prime, seriously.... Cut the BS.... No GPS? Really? Go get an ipad

* sorry OP, thought this was the no GPS thread*
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mywingtophone:
OMG :eek: i just tried my galaxy note and i got a lock in 15sec. !!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
I can't tell if you're connected via wifi or if that's a Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 3G equipped.

So if you made that clip, please update it and show that you're not connected to any data network to receive wifi or 3G internet assist.

As everyone here arguing the Prime's GPS doesn't function at all without assist.

Yet the antidote from folks reporting this are saying that the 'GPS works fine on smart phones' yet those devices operate on a GSM/3G/4G data bands.

sorry for being very skeptical but I would like to know for certain how the Prime fairs with other tablets just like it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jerrykur:
As a pilot I know you cannot use the ipad without the assistance of a phone network. The location is inaccurate and jumps around.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Actually most of the forum hasn't written about problems. Mostly the same ones reposting all over the place. Check out all the polls here n u will see most of the forum is completely satisfied with device and has no issues. Polls show those with issues are very limited in numbers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Agreed its just a few annoying complainers other than them everyone loves it and it should be loved
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmecherul:
what app is that you guys are using?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JackG058:
Mine has major problem sucking up time. I've lost hours and hours of time since delivery on the 30th. I understand that this is an intentional defect built in to the Prime. The only course of action I have is to charge when battery gets low, and keep on losing time. :-)

Seriously, I'm going to hate putting this thing down to go back to work Tuesday. Mine is also perfect, and I think those still waiting for it will find it a real treat when they get it in hand.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
lol, I hate you.

imagine having your tablet delivered to your city from UPS, only for it to sit in the warehouse for the entire New Years holiday weekend.

ordered on 12/23/11
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
The icon next to the battery indicator is an airplane, you can see it if you look. The reason I started from a cold boot is so no one would question whether the GPS chip was being assisted wirelessly or had previously memorized any satelltes.

This vid is with Wi-Fi on at boot.

[YOUTUBE]KEU9h8FzuoQ[/YOUTUBE]

If you notice at 1:07 when GPS Test starts, it's immediately locked on 9 out of 9 satellites with an accuracy to 45'. You can also see the Wi-Fi icon next to the battery indicator. The times shown in both tests are within minutes of each other so can see they were done under the same circumstances.
