[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tokyoterp:
Finally got my prime after so much stress and work. Was so EXICTED.

First off the bat, I noticed it was kinda sluggish. Maybe I expected too much oh of it but when switching to portrait mode from landscape, it could take up to 3 seconds and shudder (unlike my iPad 2).

The browser was SO slow oh my god. Went side by side with my iPad 2 and the iPad 2 destroyed the prime. Often times the prime would just give up half way through loading the page and I had to click refresh.

What's up with the keyboard? I've been typing on tablets for so long and am really fast. Often times when I typed something, the prime didn't recognize me clicking space and words were mashed together. Almost never have had this problem before and it was common on the prime.

The native books app is TERRIBLE. I had this 500 page PDF I wanted to read and got it on my prime. The books app would freeze up and take up to 10 seconds sometimes to load the next page! Thankfully I went to the android market and found a third party one.

Overall, even with ICS, it doesn't feel as snappy or responsisive as iOS (and trust me, I HATE giving apple credit). I can't see myself actually achieving a task on this, like typing something up or looking up something with the slow browser. It didn't have smooth enough transitions and I hated to see it shudder.

So yes I am SO upset. I don't even want to recap the trouble and time input to finally getting one of these. Either you suck Asus, my unit is messed up(doubtful), or I have been spoiled with iOS and android is second rate. Thank you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Someone Walkin':
Personally it ALL sounds HW related to me...

OP....If the tablet was up to the task you would be getting better performance.

Yes, there seems to be some happy people out there but as it's been PROVEN that there are MAJOR problems with the TFP.. I'd be more than likely to say it's because these people have a high threshold for putting up with garbage, rather than them experiencing less problems than everyone else.

If you dislike spending good money afte bad on HW that DOESN@T WORK PROPERLY then yeah.. go ahead, buy it.. but if you like value for money.. kick it to the kerb.

I have read up on this constantly for the past 2 months... TBH, this tablet is a piece of ****.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Do you have one? No? Then you should probably stfu...lol. It is a great tablet and has really good hardware. The only known HW issue that I am aware of is GPS. The Prime is a great piece of technology and I am no fanboy. It has issues but nothing like what you mention or what the OP mentions, IMO. If the OP is having that type of trouble they describe then I recommend returning it because that is not the experience i have had at all.

The stock browser, btw, is better than Opera Mobile on ICS. It was crap on HC though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tokyoterp:
android sucks lesson learned
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
I thought your OP seemed a little trollish. Now we know you are a big A fanboy that came to enlighten the Android faithful about the second coming of Jobs. Thanks. We weren't aware that Android was completely inferior to iOS. Now that we know I am sure we will all sell our devices and get in line at the closest Apple store.

Really though for what it's worth, I think Apple is great for a lot of people. I would recommend it to my wife now that Sprint has the iPhone even. It will probably be her next phone. She will probably have an iPad at some point even. So, I'm not sure why there has to be such a divide.

That said, I really can't imagine what would possess someone to create an account on XDA and pretend that their Prime is worse than their iPad 2 just to put out the idea that Android is ass. BTW, most of us have so much experience with this OS that even if it was complete ass we would be so used to the smell that it wouldn't bother us to be all nose deep up in it. :rolleyes: Luckily that isn't the case. I know you want it to be. You really wish it was. But..

Android is a great platform with a ton of great developers. Now that Jobs is dead, Apple is likely destined to go back to where it was just before he rejoined their ranks. It's going to take a lot longer now because of all of the iOS worship though.

Anyway, I hope you find a buyer for your Prime if you ever had one. Thanks for letting us know that all of this Android development and enthusiasm is for not. I can't believe I wasted this much time on it...whew. Thanks again. You are awesome. You look really cool with those white headphones too. Sick. I love it. Later el f*cko.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
:) I crack a little smile every time I read such glorious, intelligent, well thought-out posts!

I would say return it for sure. No reason to stick with it and be disappointed.

Have people lost their ability to criticize products without sounding like they just came out of the womb (not talking to you OP, but some of the other thread commentators in this thread)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slide83:
Unfortunately I've had the exact same experience as the OP with the Prime I bought to replace my Ipad2. I'm severely disappointed in the performance, especially the stock browser. I know people say to download a browser from the market, but do they really expect all customers to do that? That is their solution?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
Looks like there are apple fanboys in our forum again desperate to find something to gloat about. they are like hawks and troll this forum to tarnish this product as much as possible. They are scared that Apple may finally lose its marketshare now that there are MUCH better options. Don't be fooled by them!::cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slide83:
I find it sad that anyone that questions this tablet is immediately branded an apple fanboy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
I'm not on the apple fanboy-branding bandwagon either; I've used iPads, iPhones, and own an iMac. My better half has an iPhone, and it just plain works - period. The iPhone just works, while I sit around tinkering with aftermarket android apps, changing themes, flashing ROMs which might or might not work. So you won't see me criticizing love for Apple. It's fair to compare the two. But there's a mature and constructive way to criticize.

The second response to this post had the phrase "TBH, this tablet is a piece of ****." Wow, what a revelation! Could we scrape the bottom of the barrel anymore when it comes to intelligent observations about the tablet? The OP says it's possible his unit is messed up, but he says 'doubtful'. The title of his thread includes "or does this tablet suck." We are on a TFP forum. Come on. My tablet runs well. I have extensive experience with iPads and other tablets. The TFP runs beautifully for me; and now with ICS, the stock browser is fine. So YES, your tablet is probably messed up in some way or another. Or I just got some lucky batch that performs above and beyond yours.

I understand that others are not having the same experience and are frustrated, but I would take advantage of their retailers return policy and return/replace the tablet. I've already had to replace mine. I'm debating seriously about returning it in order to get one of the newly announced CES tablets. But you won't see me typing half-assed, dumbed-down posts that are clearly written to stir up the pot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guntherfurlong:
My personal experience

I've had my Tranformer Prime maybe close to 8 months.

Now it's running JB 4.1.1 Stock ROM which was updated OTA.

I do find this tablet rather sluggish. Switching from one app to another takes a few seconds.

Moving from one page to another when viewing PDF files is a chore! I do personally feel it's hardware issues. Not so sure whether it'll be solved by rooting and changing ROMS but I do find myself using my Note2 more often than my tablet just because the latter is super fast!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sstar:
I was also having problems with mine after the ota and called customer support to find out about doing a factory reset, whereupon they said they were aware of problems and that it needed to be returned and flashed by them. It was picked up on Monday and is in repair now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guntherfurlong:
Thanks for the reply.

I'm confused. So there IS a problem with the OTA update to JB? Why send it back? Can they ie ASUS do something about it?

Can't you do the factory reset yourself?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sstar:
They said some people are having a problem and that me doing a factory reset would not sort it but they could, hence them asking me to return it for them to reset. If you explain that your problems have occurred since the ota I would hope that they would recall it and at the very least test it after their service.

I hope this helps, I will post again after I receive it back, which hopefully will be a couple of days after easter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guntherfurlong:
Thanks alot. Please keep me posted. Maybe I should try hard reset it.. see how that helps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sstar:
I hard reset mine several times and for me it didn't make a difference but no harm in trying.

Back using my HP TouchPad which is smooth but much heavier and without the same aspect ratio for video or HDMI out and of course the advantages of the dock. So I am looking forward to getting it back.

Is this a Google voice issue? No matter which rom I use I now have to press 1 to answer calls and it is irritating .....I am yet to find a setting to shut that off....

If GV is the issue does anyone have an older version of it?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Hi, I urgently need help,

I was just watching something when I kept hearing a strange noise, turns out it is the vibrate that the phone does when you turn it on, I looked at it and it was on the Google logo and kept restarting, tried a battery pull, taking sim out etc, and it's still doing it.

I have no idea why it's doing this as I haven't rooted or installed any custom roms or anything?!

I have an interview tomorrow in London and really need to have Google Maps etc, as well as being able to contact people I'm supposed to be meeting! I can't believe this has happened at all, let alone at this moment! :(

Edit - I'm using the GSM version, running 4.0.1.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Bump..

There is something called odin which you can use to flash the stock rom, is that correct? Or fastboot?

I suppose what I want to know, is if you can flash the stock image without being rooted/having an unlocked bootloader? And does it have to be a certain image file?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Hey

You can used odin to load a stock image and it will return the phone to the day you got it. You can also use the adb/fastboot method. Search the forums here and you will find very clear instructions for both methods.

Same happened to me a while back and was easy to fix.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Ok thanks!

Edit- Ok I fixed it with the ODIN method, instructions here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20302409&postcount=2

So glad I don't have to send it to get repaired, bit pissed off I lost some of my pictures and stuff (I was 30% through GTA III!) but what can you do I guess! At least I have a working phone again :)

Hello. I am having trouble getting netflix subtitles shown on my TV through HDMI. I get the image and sound perfectly, but the subtitles are displayed on the blackened TP display!

Is there a way to display them on the TV screen? This was a feature I was looking forward to. :confused:

Thanks for your help..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -John-:
I am having the same problem too. Anyone know how to fix it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Desperus:
Apparently HDMI specifications do not include handling of subtitles or closed caption.. :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Is this on HC or ICS? I'm still on HC and will try it at home if I have the same issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Desperus:
This is on ICS.. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rootusr:
Same problem, I have tested this in my prime with ICS and in a acer iconia a500 with Honeycomb, same problem in both... there should be a fix but I think that the app needs to be updated
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tekara:
The problem as I've seen it is that the hardware acceleration on the Prime doesn't handle subtitles and since netflix is using hardware acceleration, you get this problem. The solution with local videos is to switch the player over to software decoding, but such a thing doesn't exist in Netflix and I'm not sure if a workaround is even possible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jazz145:
+1 for this problem. Although it happens to me on my TF101 with Tegra 2. The subtitles worked on Honeycomb perfectly, but since installing the Ice Cream Sandwich OTA yesterday I do not get to display the subtitles on the TV via HDMI out. Video plays nice, but the subtitles keep being displayed on the tablet only.

The difference I noticed is that under Honeycomb the video was mirrored, i.e. being displayed at the same time on tablet and on the TV. With Ice Cream it only displays the video on the TV...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mabittenc:
Netflix subtitles over HDMI

I have an Asus transformer with the same problem, when it was HC netflix works fine showing the movie and subtitle at the tablet and tv at same time. After upgrade to ICS the movie is not showing on tablet and the subtitle does not appear on tv.

Try disabling hardware overlays in the Developer Options (Android). It should fix the problem.

and with the latest update of android (security crap) somehow the apps stop displaying image in desktop mode too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Andrew149:
Just like the title says why should we not use rom-manager on this phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Boobie Watcher:
from what i can remember it installs a ****ty version of CWM that doesn't cooperate well with our phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Andrew149:
gotcha. i wish koush would do something about rom manager because the atrix also had a wipping issues on roms and he never fixed it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phoenix84118:
From my recent experience with the SGSII, the recovery is integrated into the kernel (unlike HTC devices which have a dedicated partition for it). My guess is ROM Manager can't flash it, since it doesn't have the kernel image.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Andrew149:
gotcha thats intresting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
You shouldn't use it on any phone anyway, your best bet is going into recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
Haha too funny I was literally wondering this last night. Glad you asked kuz I couldn't find an answer when I did a quick search.

Edit: so I've been running miui this week and see the app rom manager. I'm fine as long as i don't actually do anything through it correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It breaks and does weird crap - I've heard it works OK if (and only if) you are currently on CM7.

But since you're most likely using it to move to/from another ROM... Just three-finger into recovery or if the ROM has an extended power menu use that for recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] blackstar_329:
Its best to just use three-finger or the extend menu power menu like Entropy said. I've seen Rom manager mess up leading to a semi-brick phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karankshah:
Hey all,

First time poster and new to rooting.

I ended up attempting to use rom manager to load CWM right after root, but I think that borked my wifi.

What can I do if I've already used it? I did it because I hadn't yet seen all the xda threads on NOT using it, and the place I was was not as well informed as you folks.

Also, how do I get CWM if not via ROM Manager?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smknutson:
My brothers EVO was royally effed up from using ROM Manager. Became a paperweight until Sprint authorized a replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Read through the FAQs and this thread - CWM is included in kernels that support it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karankshah:
I ended up figuring most of this out so I wanted to close this out (for anyone that stumbles past my original post).

Here's what I did:

I uninstalled ROM Manager - but this didn't get the wifi going.

I reflashed with the stock ROM and unrooted kernel - this still didn't help.

I did a factory reset - this did manage to get it going.

I was able to track down a CWM standalone that I flashed it with (using Odin).

I followed that up with a root, a wipe, and then a fresh flash of UnNamed.

Phone seems to be working fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
When I first rooted my phone I installed rom manager because it looked easier to just pick the file that u wanted flashed and it would do it for u, so u wouldn't have to play with the volume keys. But every time I tried to do anything with it, it just said certificate not found. Aborting. So u shouldn't use rom manager. I think it works with the roms that u download of the app but not ones from XDA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rboone18:
I loaded a kernal with cwm. I use rom manager to install Google apps. After new rom loads up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
If you're on CM7, ROM Manager can be used to install gapps - that's about the only thing it doesn't seem to choke on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dschreiber69:
You cannot get CWM via ROM Manager - that is the point. It comes with certain custom kernels such as Entropy's DD kernel. If you do not have a CWM kernel - you will more than likly need to use Odin to get a kernel with CWM.

If you have totally screwed things up - look in the dev thread for "the return to stock" section and start over doing it the right way ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Elemblue:
Hi first post as well XDA forums so in depth and helpful decided I wanted to be apart of it. Still a noob though ill work my way up.

I am trying acheive the same goal he is, that is to say Instal the UnNamed (it is exactly what I want) Rom on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket.

Keep it brief: Rooted my phone using root exploit:

it will not let me post link. the zergrush one

and bellow flashed clockwork mode using stand alone not ROM because of this forum. Model 5.0.2.6

I wipe catch, battery, then format everything. Then I start to flash the ROM. The installation begins. It cleans and formats everything again, then sais that there was an error in the file and it fails. After this if I dont restore my phone will not start. Ive tried it several times being even more thorough on procedure and its the exact same error every time.

Im just wondering if its the way I rooted it is incorrect, The CWM Im using is not the correct one, or if Im doing something wrong entirely. I think it might be CWM but I have not been able to locate one like he did that worked.

Any help, suggestions, criticism or advice would be very helpful. I just thought Id ask. thanks in advance ^^

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grey Fox V1:
So I dropped my Atrix from about 5 feet up directly on it's top left corner on some ice this morning. Because it was dropped on the corner the only damage is some scratches on that corner and nothing else I can see, not even a scratch on the screen. My phone boots, reboots, responds to the volume and power buttons, reads the sd card from Android Recovery and everything seems to work fine except the touch screen. No matter where I touch the screen doesn't work so I'm assuming something popped loose or I need a factory reset. I'm going to Canadian Tire tomorrow to pick up some Torx screwdrivers but in the mean time I hope you guys can help. Basically here's what I need to know:

- Will a factory reset help at all?

- Is there any way to force a recalibration of the touch screen?

- Is there anything that can tell me if this is a software or hardware issue?

- Will doing a factory reset while I have CM7 **** up the phone since it's no longer running MotionBlur?

- Are the Atrix screws T5's? I've done some digging and I want to make sure that's correct.

-Am I missing anything?

Atrix 4G (AT&T imported off ebay)
