ASUS is a good company, like the rest if us, they just have an occasional ugh lol. Good luck and ibhooe sth good comes of all this :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
IMO this is a huge step for an electronics manufacturer. lets not make huge fanfare out of it with stupid requests or they'll be reluctant to continue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
ibhooe sth good comes of all this too! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
keep us posted. Especially on wifi, BT, and GPS. or if they modified the back in anyway for you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Willing to bet they had a bad batch out of manufacturing or something. This happens sometime.

Honestly, I have been using Asus products for a long time and have always been happy with them. They have not been in the business of making consumer products for that long. I think they really want this to be a great product and have everyone happy.

This is why the encrypted, locked bootloader was such a surprise and disappointment considering they started as a brand known only to system builders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
Well, Asus must not be reading anything I am writing, including the ticket on their website I sent 2 days ago.

I have "Serial Number Unknown" and cannot update my prime. I filled out a Tech Ticket on asus.com, registered it, did all of that.

Anyways, Asus is running out of time, if they are not going to respond to my tech ticket by the end of the day, I am returning it after work.

I have been extremely unhappy with Asus. Their misinformation everytime someone calls them. The fact they keep denying that ICS 4.0 was released and we are already getting 4.03, the fact that mine has "Serial Number Unknown" and Asus will not respond to me.

Why should I give them $500 if they dont appreciate me enough to try to help me? They wont respond to my ticket? This is ridiculous and I am basically laughing at all of you calling Asus a great company.

HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN READING WHAT IS GOING ON ? Asus has handled all of these issues as poorly has possible. They are denying 4.0 was released and telling us "Serial Number Unknown" users to just wait, there is no updated firmware. Yeah, wait until we cannot return it?

What about the way the GPS issue was dealt with? Dont get me started on how long people have waited for their tablet to be serviced.

I can understand if you like Asus, but to say they are a great company may have been true before the Asus Prime release, but since then they have got to be have the worst Customer Service I have ever seen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ramtripper:
Well, using that email:

tablet@asus.com

I sent them this:

Would be nice if they respond...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajamils:
I got the pm as well requesting some info about my issues and my tablet S/N. I replied back to it but have not heard back since then. For me time is very important if I don't hear something today, I will be returning my TP because right now it is just an expensive paper weight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
I registered my device, then used their Tech Ticket or whatever option to let them know my problems. It uses my Serial Number, Build Number, etc in the email. So they know everything about my Prime.

They have not responded, and I dont expect them to meet their 48 hour response window at all, as others are having the same problems.

I am returning, and probably buying something later from a different company. I know everyone here loves Asus, and many think they are a "great" company. But my experiences so far, personally, plus everyones I am reading and hearing on forums like these, have been so disappointing.

I am a 6th Grade School Teacher and nobody understands patience any more than me. Asus is really trying my patience with them, thus, I am not comfortable giving them my money. If they are not going to help me with a simple software problem, "Serial Number Unknown, which has been an issue for people since the middle of December, then what are they going to do when I have a hardware issue and have to send it in?

I gave Asus a chance. I wanted to buy a Prime, I want to keep my Prime, I actually really like it, but my problems are ignored, and I am going to ignore Asus with my money. Sorry!

This has been good for me and my students because I have been very open about these issues with them. I was so excited to get the tablet, I showed it to them. I brought it to school, let them play with it, they thought it was "awesome." Now I have been explaining the aftermath, cannot update, all the issues others are having. I am trying to teach them to stand up and not simply "accept mediocrity."

We also have only spent a few minutes at the end of the day on this, but I was going to use the tablet with them in class since HDMI out could go straight into my LCD Projector. I had to explain why they wouldn't see the tablet anymore.

Mine is arriving on Monday. God ASUS screwed up this time. I hope I am getting a good batch. I have never bought any Asus computer products because I can always buy lenovo products.

Learn to read before trolling
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I understand what you saying. But why don't you just flat out exchange it instead of going thru the hassle of all that? I'd be mad also so i see where you coming from. Sorry things haven't been working out for you so far. For them to not even have responded to you yet is unacceptable, period.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I would really like to see some statistics on how many people have problems with the prime and how many don't.

On forums like these you usually only see the people that have problems. And the occasional "positive only" thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cykotix:
Mine reboots several times nightly (since that's when I use it) as well after upgrading to ICS. I'd like to think that maybe it's a software issue since mine also didn't have any issues on HC. Aside from that, I've been very happy with the tablet. Hopefully they can get it sorted out. I'd love to provide them logs as well if given the opportunity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bobbyball:
I love my Prime its one of the best pieces of tech I've bought for a long time but in some ways one of the worst. In my experience new devices such as these alwasy have teething problems that usually get sorted with software updates and patches during the first few months. However......I fear that the problems with the prime are mainly down to a poorly tested design. I think Asus have realised this but thought when out in the public domain these problems would only seem minimal. The truth is they are now stuck with an excellent product design but the only fix their technicians have come up with is a redesign. The cost of manufacturing the prime and to recall them and basically scrap them and replace with a new design is just too great.

Its a sad position both we and Asus are in but its not something that hasn't been seen before and I'm sure other companies will make the same mistake in the future, the question now is what are Asus prepared to do to keep everyone happy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jerrykur:
Asus did this with the original RF. They really care
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
Right, now that this thread has got ton to be sth different, I am interested to know what has befallen the OP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
Well i had already returned my prime to bb, and got a new one from newegg. So far no problems. I really made this thread so people with problems would have info to contact asus and ask for the same resolution they were offering me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
I tried, I called Best Buy Customer Support, they didn't have any to exchange with me. So I took it back to the store and got a full refund. Painless.

YOu know how hard it is to get a replacement, how was I going to do that? I tried to get Asus to help me, they basically denied it, I hoped they could fix it or RMA it, they told me the "Serial Number Unknown" was not a problem and perfectly fine.

So I simply took it back last night, got a full refund, and have never felt better. I actually feel relieved.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Whyldchld:
Well they were great in the beginning but they've had some serious issues with their mobo's in past. And they are just like any company. Never wanting to admit issues and being in denial.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ramtripper:
just wondering, did u get a refund in cash or back to ur card?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GCurry:
I should have done it your way. Instead, I called Best Buy the day after receiving mine, got an RMA number. Gave it to UPS on Dec 31, arrived Jan 10, per UPS tracking #. Two calls to BB later, they're still not sure where it is, but I have a case number for "expedited" refund. Maybe by end of next week, I'll have my money back. That'll be about a month they've had my funds. I had the tablet for 2 days. My bad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajamils:
Did anybody get a replacement Prime from Asus ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
I'm kind of sick and pissed asus is picking users to fix stuff when majority of us got problems. Fix everyone or no one!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Komodo Rogue:
That is ridiculously above and beyond what I expect from an electronics manufacturer. Or really, any kind of company. Seriously, contacting YOU to offer an exchange? Wow.

If ASUS would just change their bootloader policy - completely voiding the warranty seems a little extreme, especially if there is a problem that is clearly a faulty hardware component (but I welcome at least providing the option) - they'd get the highest marks from me on customer satisfaction.

pyro6128: My tablet has frozen, and then rebooted on me, several times. I use my tablet on average for 90 minutes a day, I have been using it for about a month, and I would guess this probably happened a total of... ten times? And gapps have crashed on me probably 20 times. I just write this off as bugs not yet worked out, ICS bugs, pains of being an early adopter etc. Were your tablet issues more severe than mine? I'm pretty sure mine is having a normal amount of hiccups, but if mine sounds like yours, perhaps I should contact ASUS. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
yea my problems were much worse. It would bootloop 95% of the time. Then that 5% it wasnt bootlooping and actually booted into the os, it would lock up and freeze, then reboot after a number of touch inputs. Never any more than 5 min of usability before it would lock and restart. Totally unusable. My replacement works without problems for the time being.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Same with my wife's prime after the latest firmware update. Lots of reboots, lock up and lag.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JackG058:
I have only 1 circumstance where my Prime reboots, but it is consistently repeatable. If I'm viewing a Flash based video, and I pause it AND lock the screen, when I turn screen back on and attempt to view video it freezes, and then maybe 10 seconds later device reboots. Happens every time with this sequence.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eraursls1984:
Same here. It sucks because I'm trying to watch videos between respawns on BF3 and it keeps rebooting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
You guys think Asus forgot to put enough RAM to compliment the tegra3? I know it has 1 gB, but the dual cores out like the Samsung galaxy tab, motorola xoom, and the transformer TF101 all have 1 GB also. Maybe 2Gb should have been installed. I dunno Im just tossing thoughts up in the air.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I've had two Primes running ICS (and one that I returned before trying ICS), and I can count the number of force closes I've experienced on the fingers of one hand. I haven't had a single lockup or reboot on any of them. I'd characterize them generally as very stable devices.

I think there's clearly either a batch of Primes with some faulty component that's causing problems, or some kind of corruption of the build on some systems. Maybe a combination of apps, something. I don't think, though, that there's a general design issue like not enough RAM. If that were the case, far more people would be having issues. I know that I use my very extensively with a pretty wide variety of apps, and given my lack of issues I can't imagine that there's that kind of inherent problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
I dont think its ram or apps either. Problems persist after factory reset and everything was fine on HC.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Probably ICS and the prime dont play nice together.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I think you're missing the point. Many (most?) people are having no problems whatsoever with ICS on the Prime. I'm one of them, with multiple machines. So your blanket statement makes no sense.

ASUS needs to find a common factor on those devices that ARE having a problem if they're going to figure out what's going on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
You may say many (most?), but you dont have an actual count of the total prime's sold who are still having problems or have already refunded their money. You may have a working machine but there are still masses with a troubled machine. Consider yourself lucky.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
The only way such an issue can be resolved, again, is to identify what's different about the devices that aren't working. Making blanket statements like I responded to before does nothing to help identify those differences. Indeed, it muddies the issue completely. Clearly, the Prime isn't inherently incompatible with ICS or nobody's would be working consistently.

If you want to figure out what's going on, then work to determine what's different with your non-working device. I'm sure that's what ASUS is currently doing, and they've managed to resolve at least a few issues with firmware updates. All I'm doing is pointing out that there's hope that yours can work correctly as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JanetPanic:
Many may or may not be having troubles. You have no more data than he does. What is known is that there are multiple TPs that have had no difficulties with ICS and multiple that have had reboot problems among other things. From this we can conclude that it is not endemic of the release but is a problem with a subset of the whole. Given it is not all devices that fail with ICS the most likely option is a bad run or a workflow common to many people but not all.

So it would perhaps be best not to paint in broad strokes as to the cause of the problems. It is clearly not all devices so it is not "TP having problems with ICS."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Well I can say that my wife's prime was happy with ICS until the Asus's latest firmware upgrade nothing else was modified .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Justin_Thyme:
Im curious to see how they handle this. Ive already signed the petition.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajamils:
Those who were contacted by Asus, any new update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
No they are doing nothing if your Prime has the lockup issue return it for a refund or exchange it bottom line this is the best thing you can do. GET ER DONE
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
I have to agree, just return and get a new one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajamils:
To late for that because I have already shipped my Prime to Asus, but there has been no update for almost a week. :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajamils:
Just to give you guys and update, I received a replacement Prime from Asus today. It serial # BC0xxxxx. Have not opened it because the one I got from HH Greg is flawless.

Thanks Asus for awesome customer service :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] deweylim:
Hi Guys,

I flashed ICS rom alpha 2 recently and ICS has a bookmark widget that support resizing and bookmark folders. I reverted to overcome rom recently as the alpha 2 rom has still some limitation so been looking for something similar to the bookmark widget in ICS. Anyone knows of any app that can do the same thing in honeycomb?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cenwesi:
Yep, this is why we need ICS. So many feature lacking in HC that ICS addresses.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LexusFman:
I want to make apps and games for Windows Phone 7. The only problem I have though is my programming is poop. I can make sprites, backgrounds, etc. I almost gave up but then I thought "hey, there's probably programmers that are poop at spriting". So if you consistently find your game needing backrounds, sprites, menus, ect. hit me up at ylado86@gmail.com

To prove my abilities, post up something you want me to sprite, and I will do it. Here's a Toyota Supra '98 I did just now

EDIT: I use MS Paint and I can use GIMP.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LexusFman:
92 views and no replies? No one's interested? Imma see what else I can whip up and post on here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LexusFman:
Simple backround for Supra

Nissan Skyline GTR R34
[Windows Phone 7 General] LexusFman:
A simple tank
[Windows Phone 7 General] fuzemaster:
that'll work man. i don't want to post anything discouraging, but perhaps you should broaden your knowledge of programming before trying your hand at game development. menus and UIs are far easier to muck with than are games of the nature you're attempting to engineer. practice makes perfect though, and your fellow wp7 fans appreciate your dedication to learning. keep up the hard work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LexusFman:
I understand the basics of object oriented programming but I haven't taken the time to learn how to actually develop games on wp7. I did watch a little bit of a video series on making wp7 applications but I didn't watch the whole thing and I can use game maker pro a little (hahaha)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midnightmach:
I flashed NexusBeam ROM yesterday and the radio it came with did not work on my device i9020a on the Rogers Network. If im correct my baseband should read i9020auckd1. I manged to get the phone working again with the KB3 Radio... but no luck flashing the UCKD1 Radio (bad file maybe?). So now in settings Baseband Version reads "NO DGSXXKB3"... is this even a problem?

Any insight would be helpful. Thanks guys.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
devs shouldn't include radio in their roms for this very reason regardless

Leave it up to end user to update

Try flashing the radio image threw fastboot and not CWR

You can extract the radio baseband image from the zip file

U get a signal?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Droid00:
Both the KB1 and KB3 radios display as that on 9020a. I have ran kb3 for a long time without any problems.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midnightmach:
Yes I get signal with KB3, I think i'll just stick with it for now thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the info, puts me at ease.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunswick000:
I'm on Rogers network and the KB3 radio works perfectly fine for me. I would keep it if I were you. I had no notable difference with KB1.

AOSP ICS source is out

but the ICS sources for T989 is not out yet

that's what the devs are waiting for

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Exnor:
And you can use Wii mote to control the game :)

Just tested myself. The wii mote can be used to play the game (go to the market and get one of the free apps that enable Wii mote sync via Bluetooth)

The game runs perfect :D

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
Asus Eee Pad 4G?

the og Transformer Prime will be a rare collectors item for sure. Not only is it the only tablet made of metal casing, it's named after the Transformers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
My guess is there will either be a licensing deal worked out or else they will have to stay away from using a second name from the Transformers universe. The two are different industries but sort of overlap in a way. So, no more Transformer Prime or Transformer Optimus or whatever but I bet they will still be able to use the Transformer name since that is an actual word and the Tablet is doing what the definition states. But, who knows? It probably will come down to who spends the most money and what both sides ultimately want.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
The problem really was with the word "Prime," not "Transformer." Transformer is a general enough term to use on its own. As soon as you put the two words together though, Hasbro obviously has an argument.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Asus Thunder Cat
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Sign me up for one of those !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NoTrix:
It's not named after the Transformers. The reason it was named Transformer in the first place is because it "transforms" from tablet to "laptop like device" with the keyboard dock. It is (was) a unique product that disguised itself from the competition. Not sure how Hasbro, who sells toys, can make a claim that this device infringes on their copyright agreements. They are just (in my opinion) attempting to get royalties or something of the sort....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Totally agree with you on naming the tablets "Transformers." However, once you add "Prime" into the mix, I think Hasbro has a valid argument.

Indeed, Hasbro didn't make a stink over the original "Transformer." It's the name "Transformer Prime" that has them going after Asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] John Kotches:
Yes, Asus will call the TF700T, Transformer: Revenge of the GPS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] se1000:
We have a winner!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GernBlanston:
Hasbro does have a beef. They trademarked "Transformers: Prime" sometime in 2010 (It's the name of a cartoon), and they have multiple toy lines, direct-to-dvd movies coming out, etc. If other competing toy companies can show that they do not police their trademark, then Hasbro is opening itself up to competitors using the term, and if they are interested in marketing things like tie-in electronic merchandise (mp3 players that turn into robots, etc.) under the trademark, or even if they just want to remain open to the remote possibility they might market something in the consumer electronics space, then they are really backed into a corner, more or less. They'd be silly not to litigate, even if the agreement they come to is something like 1 cent licensing fee per prime sold.
