The problem is that the announcement was missing part. They should have announced a trade-in program for existing TF201 users who have the word GPS on the box, or offered to replace the back of the TF201 with the plastic version. Instead they announce an "upgrade" less than a month after the TF201s release and subsequent PR nightmare, that just happens to have the plastic back that would have fixed the current tablet. The timing of it makes me think the plastic back was meant for the TF201 but they didnt want to take the TF201s out of the box and replace the backs.

I paid for GPS. I expected GPS functionally identical or superior to the first generation TF101. I was not given the GPS I paid for. Furthermore, they have done NOTHING to apologize. They have not given me a refund, or even offered me a special coupon towards a friggin accessory. My ass hurts, doesn't yours?

Furthermore you can expect that this tablet won't have much in the way of community support. I suspect they have already halted production on this device. They might release a TF201 Rev. B with GPS removed altogether, or a plastic back, but we probably won't see any more. Oh wait, they did that already, it's called a TF700. This TF201 will likely be something of a collectors item :) With the TF101 on the lowend and the "highend" TF201 being replaced by the TF700 I don't expect there will be much of a market for the TF201. The only saving grace for the TF201 will be if the similar hardware means that ROMs for the TF700 work on the TF201.

Maybe if everyone returns their primes , I'll be the only one with one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kevinm2k:
What about the UK, the transformer prime isn't officially released until the 12th Jan, but they have announced a new model already?

That is like selling the Samsung S2, then a few days before it comes out say, actually we've fixed all the issues of the S2 and the S3 will be released in a few weeks... but hey in the meantime please buy the S2!

Doesn't really make sense.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] setite:
Yep. And ASUS will actually do their due diligence and test the next tablet. They already solved one or more issues by putting an RF transparent strip on the top of the TF700. I don't mind getting a device that has bugs in it if I get it sooner. But I take issue with unfixable bugs. That is why people, myself included, keep making threads like this. These problems aren't fixable. I sent a message to Gary Key asking him to meet with me. I live in Las Vegas so I can meet him wherever to show him the very real bluetooth issue. I'm praying that he can show me another TF201 that doesn't have the issue and I can trade with him and go skipping off into the sunset. I want to be able to be as nonchalant about this as other have been. But I truly can't use this device without bluetooth. I can't watch videos, listen to music, or anything with sound on the go. Partly because its rude and even turning it up with Volume Boost it's rude and I still can't hear it. Plus that funky headphone jack doesn't want to work with my portable speaker. This could be in part due to a mechanical tolerance that the speaker fails. It has worked with a dozen or more other devices, but I can accept that. But I have enough cables in my car, AUX In is not an option, let alone the chance of breaking something if the cable is sticking out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djkinetic:
i could be wrong but my understanding is that they will continue selling and manufacturing the tf201 while the newly announced transformers will fill in a high end segment with the current tf being the mid level model, and the 7 inch being the ultra portable. again i could be wrong but i think this structure would make a lot more sense than axing the tf201 when it hasn't even been officially launched in some countries.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] panda986:
+1 to that, that's one of the thing I am looking forward to with the Prime, given similar hardware, the TF700 will hopefully help to boast the dev further.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djkinetic:
supposedly the bt wifi dropout bug has been fixed in ICS...i can't really test this since i won't have the tab till wednesday..but i remember reading a member post about the performance of bt and wifi being much improved in ICS

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
I think my next tablet is going to be a Windows based tablet, maybe Windows 8. Samsung or DELL.

The brand of the tablet certainly won't be ASUS after living through this debacle. I honestly don't understand how any of you can continue to take it up the ass and fork over more money to them with their announcement of a new over hyped tablet.

Yeah because the new tablet is certain to not have any defects right? :rolleyes: Wow some of you guys are gullible as ****.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pandaball:
TF700T will have a 1920x1200 screen, better GPS/Wifi/BT and some other fixes (I can't remember) for USD100 more than the TF201. Core components same. Only those who absolutely need better GPS/BT/Wifi will buy it, since the screen will consume more battery life and I don't see the changed components being worth a hundred bucks more than the TF201.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ogar1978:
So because its$100 dollars more that makes all our hardware issues ok?

Asus released a defective product and is unwilling to fix it. Unless you purchased it from Amazon you are most likely stuck with it also.

ASUS will continue to sell TF201 to many consumers as they will be unaware of the poor WiFi signals. They will also blame Android for the other issues and not ASUS who will walk away from this knowing that sweeping it under the rug worked.

I actually might do what one of the earlier posters mentioned and get a Windows 8 tablet when they release later this year and step away from Android since there seems to be no QC.

There should be another answer and that is I AM STUCK WITH A DEFECTIVE UNIT BECAUSE RETURNS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT MY RETAILER

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------

Are we going to have very many devs?

With all these issues I can see many potential Devs holding off for one of the Q2 tablets. I do not see there being a very large development community for this tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Delecron:
Wow, on a side note I had no idea so many people would be interested in Windows 8, I would have made it a poll choice :confused::confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
If it works for what I need -> WiFi with less packet loss than my offices Ethernet link and -> can otherwise do everything my original Transformer can, I'm keeping it or finding a really good home.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DG2605:
Did not even received the Prime (Was on pre-order on Nov. 22, then Dec. 19 on Amazon.com) and then saw the GPS problem after Wi-Fi, Pre-order (hope to get it for Xmas)..... Too much from Asus. I have bought so many Asus motherboards in the past. I'm done with Asus products... :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rz22g:
I returned 3 Primes. GPS is a feature considered when purchased. I see reduced Wifi range as well. The reduced Wifi rate when streaming Bluetooh is something I will use together frequently, I simply cannot wait to see if they can or will actually address it.

The new Prime coming out with the new designed shell tells me they were already working on the shell design before the 201 shipped. They knew there were problems but it was simply better for them to go ahead and ship. The early rumors of possible delays due to WiFi pretty much tell all. I think Asus responded that there would be no delay, but never said there was no issue.

This was my first and will be my last experience with Asus. I was in over $1600 to get for these for my family. I don't see it as sticking to Asus. They obviously are not to concerned with reputation to release a product with known flaws so losing my support won't really matter. I do have to giggle when I see certain features of a device pointed out as a Pro feature over another tablet but when it does not actually work it goes from.. "It has GPS but on the xxx, you have to pay extra for it" to "I don't really care to have GPS anyway". I would like to see the comments if it was found only 2 cores were actually used.. "Oh I really didn't need those other 2 cores anyway :) "

If you actually think this product was released without them knowing of the shell issue then please send me some of that magic dust your snorting that takes you to make believe land. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morphiend:
i'm about 85% certain i'm returning my prime for the 7" meemo. at 250 that thing will sell itself. i am confident they'll have the wifi thing figured out by then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] littleasian:
the included charger in the box is rated

Input: 100-240V, 50Hz, 0.15A

Output: 5V = 1.0A

the hp touchpad charger is rated

Input: 100-240V, 50-60Hz, 0.4A

Output: 5.3V = 2.0A

so the touchpad charger definitely provides a higher amperage for both input and output. will this hurt my phone in any way if i use it to charge?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Im sure somebody well say it's bad. But personally I use any phone charger that fits, 2 old blackberry chargers, htc droid incredible charger and my phone seems alright
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
I know there are a few other people seeing this, lets get something going to discuss. I had never seen it before in the two weeks before ics, now I'm seeing it every few minutes. I did a factory reset right after updating and have only installed a couple apps, so I don't think that's it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snapa55:
Coming from the EVO, I loved Mik's Roms. What would be the closest thing to that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steindog99:
If I remember correctly from my evo days, closest might be starburst, but it doesn't get as much attention as phantom's other rom, blazer.

If you are just looking for a good rom, I recommend Unnamed Rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tt281gt:
Ahh yes Mik's Roms are the **** for the EVO. I too came here with EVO withdrawals but quickly warmed up to the E4GT.

The roms recommended are good, I would also look into Calkulin's 2.8ROM found here:

[HTC EVO 3D] markdexter:
Im trying to create my own custom ROM from the stock Rogers RUU, im using dsixdas Rom kitchen tool.

Everythings going great, but when it comes to flash it, it starts too, then says sdcard error, status 0

thats all i get ive tried with already rooted custum roms, still get the same when i try to flash it?
[HTC EVO 3D] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Make sure the boot.img system and meta-imf are all in the root of ur zip, and not in a folder. I had this problem, was called Honeysense, and inside the zip was a folder with them files and folders
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
As a beginning ROM dev, one of the troubleshooting tools which will really help will be learning how to read the recovery error log. The recovery error log will contain more verbose error messages than what is output to the display screen. This error log will contain all issues with the general .zip file and specifically with the updater-script file.

The recovery log is usually located at either or both /tmp/recovery.log or /cache/recovery.log.

If you can post up the section of this log containing your error we can provide a more specific solution. Hope that helps! Good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] markdexter:
Thanks buddy, will try to post it later, I'm wondering if I was to flash it using clockwork recovery, instead of the team revolution recovery, the rom itself looks identical to other working roms when I compare them side by side using 7zip, not completely identical but everything looks like it's in the right place if you know what I mean.

I even took a custom rom that works on my phone, put it through the kitchen, didn't really change anything with it, when I tried to flash it, got the status 0 error, wondering if it's the recovery having trouble seeing it? I always change it back to updater-script, which is recommended, oh well keep playing with it, thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UPEngineer:
I tried a sample movie and I am now getting left channel audio now.. Wasn't able to pre-ICS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
we have been overclocked! I ran CF bench n noticed my very high score. then I looked at stats n saw that my top speed is now 1.6Ghz. I couldn't believe it. so I used my system panel app to check out info. It's true! Along with ICS those mofos overclocked us. look at my bench at the top speed of processor.

Edit: Although stock setting reads 1.6Ghz it is not really. Those speeds are deactivated. BUT with rooting and Viperzcontrol Mod, WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY OVERCLOCKED TO MAX OF 1.6Ghz. Head to Dev. Section for the thread n details on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
more proof I am now Overclocked to top speed of 1.6Ghz :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
Ill gladly go back if this is causing my display banding -.-

I can conform this too this is awesome
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Awesome isn't even the word. damn! they really surprised us good with this one. I couldn't believe it. I'm so stoked right now. I bet most people don't even realize it yet. that's why I made this thread. this update and overcloxk made me forget all about that b.s. news earlier about new Asus models.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
Wtf? I've never seen a manufacturer do this. Did they do this because they weren't confident enough that ICS would speed up the experience by itself?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tnor32:
So all this happened with the ICS upgrade? Did you do anything else to achieve this? I'm gonna have to to test mine out now! :thumbup:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Most likely a new kernel with the Ice Cream Sandwhich OTA Update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] g1xx3r:
.Everything running smoother including games.I tested Riptide(shocked at how fast it loaded) and Zen Pinball(had to readjust my timing because its smoother).Also,I put the Prime in "performance"mode.Thought it was a placebo effect but it really is a different beast now!

EDIT..I guess that would explain why games are running smoother...AWESOME!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
Well my quadrant score tanked. After 4 runs about 300 points lower on average. This could be a rendering engine change though, doesn't necessarily relate to performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
I can confirm that I'm running at 1.6 too but my Benches on Antutu have dropped by a lot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Very nice! That explains a lot... Thats good news to me, I just hope it doesn't eat battery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I don't know. I'm in the same boat. I've never seen this before also. I'm completely stoked n loving it. Asus really trying to make up for the mishaps and its working very well.. you should hear my sinister laugh..lmfao

nope didn't do anything extra. I just noticed this after I ran CF Bench in Normal mode. I looked at specs n saw it. then used other apps tl confirm it also. This is SICK! Great Job Asus on the ICS update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NickSaul:
Oh yea, 1600MHz! Everything seems faster and it boots up a lot faster!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Same here. Antutu benchmark reports 1600MHz top speed as well.

Wow. I just hope this wasn't something left over from development that was supposed to be turned off...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
My CF bench jumped up by like 1000 points overall. I have a feeling I can get even higher than 13,000 overall score. CF Bench is a really good one that takes into account stuff other benches don't. its a more thorough bench mark. I'm so happy..lol. I can't believe this. Asus kissed our a$$ on this nice surprise. now imagine once developers here start tinkering around. I can easily see us over 2Ghz overclock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Sorry to burst bubbles here guys, but you're only half right. Upon opening CPU Spy, it shows that while 1.5 and 1.6ghz steppings exist, they are listed as "unused states". Thus, they exist in the kernel but are disabled. Its possible with setcpu you can simply turn it up to 1.5 or 1.6 with the current kernel and it may work that way but as of right now any extra speed is all ICS, they are NOT running at 1.5/1.6. Programs will report the kernel's 'listed' top speed (also why you'll always see 1.4 listed even if it's using all 4 cores limited to 1.3).

Still, looks promising. I'll have to play with setCPU later to see if we need to wait for kernels or not...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Good catch. I read this and went into SetCPU (no root forgot to keep it) and I check the time in each state thing. 0% in 1.5/1.6 Kinda gay
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Yeah, think you may be right... don't have the Prime yet, but I pulled the following from the OTA Update dlpkgfile (cpu3.sh @ /system/etc):

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you almost rained on my parade BUT I just went back to my system panel app where it shows real time processor speed and I saw it spike to 1.5ghz. it shows me all 4 cores in real time and shows me the speeds as it fluctuates. So I'm thinking its already enabled if it spiked up that high.

edit: either way, this is all looking very promising. need more confirmation. does set CPU need root? Hol up, let me check my system tuner pro app ;)

edit: all my apps showing 1.6Ghz Max. System Tuner Pro won't let me adjust the speed with slider. the Max still showing 1.6. another thing I noticed also is the lowest speed. it dips really low now. into the 100mhz or so.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
This is after running a few benchmarks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Can anyone with Root check Set CPU. See what it says for max.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Interesting, maybe I just hadn't taxed it enough yet. Can you confirm with CPU Spy? (Great program btw)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Just downloaded. Got his right after running a benchmark:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
ill get it now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Brand New:
Can you guys also post some Antutu Benchmarks? This is awesome!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Ok, so in Set CPU, it lists maximum frequency as 1600mhz, however it never seems to go above 1200 in the "real time field", and "time in state" is never more than 0 for 1.5 or 1.6. Looks like we either need to enable it differently or need a different kernel.

In antutu i get about 10700 ish, which is about 200 points less than I was getting in HC. I don't think it is accurate because I do notice games running much much better than before.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kurtkbee:
I wonder what the effect will be on battery life.

Normally over clocking has a negative effect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Not if you undervolt :D

Looks like it doesn't matter... 1500 MHz & 1600 MHz appear to be in the frequency table now, however they are dormant.

Gives me hope though once a dev. gets ahold of it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flak0:
ICS 1.6 GHZConfirmed

I can also onfirm the 1.6GHZ max on the Prime. See below

Also Stock Browser is blazing fast now!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Not that big of a deal & it has been done. Moto did it with the original Droid. The whole time the CPU was undercloked and they make you feel good about setting it to it's capable clock speed with an OTA update yet the whole time all they had done was underclock it. So you felt like a bonus addition - but it was there the whole time and hamstrung :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
Yeah look at my smartbench 2012, plus set CPU says it but still need to root ics to find out for sure!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
I am pretty sure the 1.6Ghz only applies to the single core frequency. I guess they upped that from 1.4 to 1.6.

If they changed the "all cores running" frequency is a different story.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Just to clear things up there is no longger a normal mode its power saving balanced and performance on hc normal was the top now performance is
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erismaster:
I have root. Set CPU shows 1.6, but I can't get it to go over 1.4. Even with changing it to performance and trying to rev it up some. Sounds possible that 1.6 is for the companion core.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Could someone decypher what he's saying? I'm confused, what do you mean there's no normal mode anymore?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
i have rooted ICS used rootkeeper XD but set cpu wont set it because the kernel dose not allow it but it does go up to 1.6ghz now if its needed! but this has to be all 4 cores!

I wish we had one of those cool screen overlays that nvidia showed off before...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tairen:
He's saying that instead of power, balanced and normal mode you get power balanced and performance mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nategodin:
Grammar Nazi to the Rescue!

Looks like he meant Normal mode has been replaced by Performance...

Just to clear things up there is no longer a Normal mode; it's Power Saving, Balanced, and Performance. On HC, Normal was the top, now Performance is.​

Can't confirm this, since I'm just killing time waiting for my battery to charge up before I install ICS... lalalalala...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Ah so 'normal' has been renamed 'performance', ok.
