Hi Diamondback2010,

I got my Prime and at this moment debating if I'm going to stay with it. I'm on ICS and the issue for me is the skippy WiFi. I have a 50MB connection at home and all my other devices laptops, desktop have no issues whatsoever streaming media to tv however simply being 15ft from the router on the Prime I'm losing connection simply by browsing webpages and they take long to load. I don't have this problem even on my DHD.

For a WiFi only device WiFi is the most important aspect for me and the intended use is for traveling and connecting to different WiFi networks.

Perhaps the newer Prime would be more suitable for my needs that's coming in a few months time unless the current Prime can be made better or these issues I'm having resolved with a firmware update or something.

Also to mention I can replicate screen flickering on the Prime on ICS by using it for a while opening a dozen apps/webpages and tapping the recent items button makes the screen flicker on ICS.

This isn't very good plus the WiFi issue I might send it back, will further be testing today.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
As much as I also love my SGS2, I've never felt it had particularly good wifi. So my Prime beats it nicely. Especially when it comes to the data flow from some distance (20-30 feet through 2 walls) where my SGS2 will have data drops using speed test, my Prime will see no such issues. And the Prime will have more than 10db better signal strength than my SGS2.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
I know you asked for the GS2 or the TF101 but since I have neither of those I compared it to my HTC Wildfire which it beat quite comfortably.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cernunnoz:
That sounds great! I know the SGS2 isn't known for the best wifi, but it is good enough to get a connection where I normaly would use the prime. My TF101 is a little bit better than the SGS2. If the Prime is anywhere between those two, I will buy one! You convinced me:D

It doesn't release here in Norway untill the 30th, but I will get one then. We are only getting the Champagne gold one, originally I wanted the Amethyst more. Any of you got any impressions on the colors? What do you think of the champagne one?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Well I can compare it to my laptop and my Desire HD.

My laptop has a

really

good Wifi reception and it beats my Prime to death :D

But my Desire HD is a different story. The DHD does have a better range, but that is due to the fact that we (Virtuous Team, creator of the custom ROM I am running) tweaked the Wifi range way beyond stock levels, which leads to really crappy speeds at such ranges.

So in fact my Prime beats my DHD speed wise too. Only thing you really have to keep in mind, is that the Prime's connection is heavily orientation dependant. If the screen shows towards the router (or the general direction) it has quite a bit better recpetion as opposed to the backside towards the router.

I can't really replicate this with m DHD (at least not as much, DHD has Wifi antenna on the backside under a plastic RF window)

With HC I was a bit concerned about Wifi (only range, not the speed), after ICS this is gone. :)

One gripe is left, but this has something to do with ICS and not the Prime.

You are forced to have some kind of locking mechanism (pin, passwort, gesture) if you want to use an enterprise wifi with certificates (university network)...

That's a bit annyoing... :/

But it's the same on my Desire HD...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
I have just been doing some WiFi tests with my HTC Desire HD (running Virtuous Affinity) and Asus Transformer Prime and this is what I'm not happy about

I have a 50MB connection and the desktop with a direct connection is getting 49Mbps so it is a true 50Mbps connection

Now for tests sitting right next to the router which is an N-series router

On my laptop I'm getting 34Mbps

On my HTC Desire HD I'm getting 18Mbps

On the Prime I'm getting 11Mbps

Now for outside in the garden going through 2 walls about 20ft away

On my laptop I'm getting 12Mbps

On my HTC Desire HD I'm getting 6Mbps

On my Prime I'm getting 1Mbps!

I have done this several times and the figures are consistent - this shows my Prime to be under performing compared to my other devices. I would expect the Prime to perform better than the Desire HD but it doesn't.

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
I'm not experiencing that at all.. Within 10 feet (or right next to) my router I get over 40Mbps down/5Mbps up (I got a 50/5Mbit connection). This is with a Linksys E4200 v1 router.

20-30 feet away (around 7-10 meters) through 2 walls, I get around 10-14Mbps down/4Mbps up. This is almost the same as my old Netbook (Asus Eee first gen). And alot better than my SGS2.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
I got one of them Asus Eee pad 1000HE's from years ago too and that performs better than my Prime does with WiFi.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
It's better, but only by a tiny amount.. And nothing noticable for me when I do a speedtest (2-3Mbps difference and just as stable). I have to note, that my tests are through drywall, not brick.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
My tests were through brick house walls. Thinking about it its quite amazing that the old Asus 1000HE netbook I have running Windows 7 which I upgraded it with has better WiFi than my Asus Transformer Prime...

I got the Prime for a similar use as the 1000HE for travelling abroad where I connect to loads of WiFi networks. With that low WiFi performance on the Prime I can see I'm going to have problems.

I'm debating to send it back and waiting for the newer Prime which maybe an improvement...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cernunnoz:
Have you tried doing a factory reset? I've seen people say that their wifi was fixed after that. Please report back if you try.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
I haven't tried a factory reset I will try it and see what happens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
I'd deffinatly try a factory reset if I was you, as a last resort.. Brick/drywall aside. 11Mbps right next to the router is not right unless you got some serious interference going on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
Just trying a factory reset from settings. Would that be the only reset method to reset or is there some other method with a pin?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
I believe thats the way to do it yes.. The pin is only for force rebooting the device, not a data wipe.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
I see just doing the data wipe from settings but I see after booting up ICS is showing 4.0.3 as current installed Android version so by the looks its only wiping user data and apps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rz22g:
At first ICS update was working great but it started going downhill fast within 8 hours. First hour there were not issues then an app crash or two. By the end of the day app crashes were happening about 5 per hour. A random reboot or two. Graphical glitch (polygon shaped blank sections on screen) when rotating. Same glitch when pulling up a recent app. Two factory resets and no improvement.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
I'm not seeing any improvement with WiFi after factory resetting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
I'd then try and see if another brand of router show better results - or changing the router to a different channel, if one is available.

If that fails, I'd RMA it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
I'll have a play around with channels see if it makes any difference but for its intended use for travelling around Europe may it be at home in London or say using WiFi at the airport, a hotel abroad or whilst having an espresso at a cafe in the Czech Republic the last thing I'm going to be asking is "excuse me could you change your router so my Prime gets a decent WiFi connection".

I really don't think this Prime is up to its intended use. Just been trying WiFi off for half an hour outside trying to locate a sat in the sky over London and it finds zero.

I received the Prime Friday morning from Ebuyer shouldn't have any problems sending it back for a refund.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
I work in an IT department that services infrasturcture (including WiFi) for, on a yearly basis, 150.000 students. I can assure you, than even though an access point works just fine for 99% of all users, sometimes someone comes along, and cannot understand why he/she cannot connect or get dropped off every so often, because "back home it works just fine, so it must be your fault!".

This isn't a perfect world :) If you really want to be sure of the cause of your problem, you need to test all the variables. If its the router that just doesn't want to play nice with your Prime - then that would be great to know.

Take my SGS2. It won't connect at all to my parents Belkin router (cannot obtain an IP address). It works fine everywhere else. And the Belkin router works great with every other device we've tried on it. Which device is at fault here?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Hi, I also couldn't find ANY satellite, however after just taking it outside and wait for a couple of minutes it became 1.. and very fast (seconds) after that there were 10! So perhaps you could just take yours out, maybe an open field or something and test it.. and wait. After that it locks way faster and even inside it sees some satellites now. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desert_mouse:
I've enjoyed the Prime after the ICS update. However I've discover two minor, if annoying problems.

The mail widget no longer checks the inbox at the specified times I set. I have to manually open the program to check for new emails. Before ICS the mail widget was fine and reporting every time I got a new email.

Second, the weather widget no longer updates at the intervals that I set in settings. The only way for me to update it is manually.

Anyone else having or already fixed these issues? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tifford:
the one that's not yours! ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
I have been using WiFi Analyzer channel 11 is showing the strongest, my N-series router is set on to automatically use best channel but I manually changed it to 11 and restarted the router.I am getting the exact same weak WiFi on the Prime the same as before right next to the router and outside where all of my other devices including my HTC Desire HD are out performing the Prime significantly.

Logically that is the Prime at fault.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desert_mouse:
This was just my Android noobness. I figured out the problem with Mail was that I had sync turned off. After turning on sync for mail everything worked as well.

Weather widget updating now but I didn't change anything. Weird.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] diecast17:
Did anyone have anything jumping up and down on the screen like the icons and the wigets except for the wallpaper after the ICS update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
Only thing making movement for me was flickering lol.

I think these widgets are crap on the Prime compared to HTC's ones like on the Jetstream there really should be more functional widgets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
did you bother to take router off of N and put it on G? several users reported same issue as you n found that to be the fix. There's a thread on it, check it out. This has fixed a large number of peoples wifi issues. Prime seems to perform better on lower frequencies it seems.

Great impressions on ICS Diamondback. I had forgot all about ICS allows us to freeze apps. Thanks for the reminder. Now I just have to figure out which apps or system apps I should freeze that's useless basically. what system apps did you freeze? do you think freezing systems apps would affect OTA updates if left frozen?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
I'd rather have

very

quick system updates instead of good widgets :)

See how it takes HTC to publish their ICS ROMs :( (And no, leaks are not a valid answer here :P )
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Yea it's always recommended to wipe after a major OS upgrade. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
Yes I did 'bother' to test extensively.

Changing channels even though my N router is already on auto best channel made no difference.

Changing to b and g also made no improvement speeds actually decreased even more to completely non existent 20ft away from the router. Right next to the router I get 11mbps on a 50mbps connection on the Prime. All other WiFi devices are up there in the 30-40mbps bracket next to the router and at 20mbps 20ft away where the Prime hasn't even got a connection.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lancer3397:
Building on what Diamondback has done, I thought I'd chip in with my own impressions since getting the prime last Friday.

Friday was spent charging, upgrading and installing everything and setting up the way I wanted. However on Saturday I then went away for the weekend, returning this evening so it was the first outing for my prime for the reason why I bought it. so I could consume some media and do some writing while away from home base.

I left home fully charged with a bunch of graphic novels, books, movies and music loaded on.

SAturday and Sunday I was accessing the web via my friends Virgin Media connection broadband. Speedtest showed h is 30mbps Virgin broadband absolutely thrashes my home connection to the tune of 4x in speed.

At my friends house, the prime was 40-50ft from the router with 2 or 3 walls between me and the router depending on my position in the house. The prime was displaying 2 bars but the connection was quick and did not cause any issues.

At home I'm 30ft or so from the router with 3 walls between me and it using a netgear rangemax router. show same bars but my speeds are lower. still able to access youtube and other web activities without it locking up or pausing on me.

Over the weeked I've had about 2-3 hours youtube use (my friend had not seen celebrity juice before so I showed him various episodes and then TNL fail compilations)

2 hours of web browsing (btw, I was able to play bejeweled blitz in dolphin browser hd for another hour or so)

2 full movies watched (4.5 hours) and then a good 2 hours solid typing a report for work.

Today I was in newcastle. In the eldon centre I was parked 30 ft or so from the front of the apple store and managed to use their wifi connection for another hour or so of general web browsing while lingering over a coffee.

Throughout its been fine. Everything has worked flawlessly. No lockups or force closes, the dock has been slick and precise with good key response and it was able to keep up with my typing speed (80-85wpm)

about half the weekend I ran at normal with 50% brightness on the screen. On monday I switched over to a power saving mode but I've still made it home with 32% of the battery remaining. What I really liked was the fact the dock continued to work even when its own battery was flat and I was just running off tablet power.

all in all, judging the problems the US primes are h aving, I'm really starting to wonder if they got some sort of early batch and the european primes are a later production runs. from what I've seen european ones tend to be BC batch? admittedly I'm 3 days behind on the forum so I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong :-D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Okay, I just updated the OP with more GPS test results.

Short version: I can't see a single satellite. Even after sitting outside for hours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
I didn't notice a comment on the camera. With the first update (.33)the camera seemed to take very clear pics. After the update with ICS, a side by side pic of the same subject, (sitting on my couch focusing on a door) the w/ics pic is noticeably blurry.

Edit: nice thread by the way:-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Well, okay, I don't use the tablets camera :p

I can comment on ICS pics compared to my DHD ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
I don't use it much as well. Case in point a pic of a door :-) It was something I noticed last night while scrolling thru the gallery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andy T11:
Weather widget is also tied to the sunc functionality. (The circular looking button with arrows going up and down on the power bar widget). If it's on, all apps that need data synchronization will work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
I thought Splashtop remote was a good app in the Prime I've got that on my DHD now. Good for having a a quick remote view of your desktop and it even shuts your pc down remotely :)
[Defy General] loadaverage:
when i connect my defy+ with the usb cable to windows vista,

and i set android to usb mass storage (UMS) it always fails,

as the MTP driver is trying first and it fails. both motorola phone portal,

and windows media sync are successful but i am not a fan of them.

i installed the driver from "MotoHelper_2.1.32_Driver_5.4.0.exe"

i also tried removing the driver to lure out the generic UMS driver,

but no luck.

i can connect with no problems on bsd. most of my media files

are on the win machine, that's why it would be nice to have it...
[Defy General] tolinho:
I also have this issue on Windows7 64Bit
[Defy General] paul.d051990:
Driver issue

In Windows 7 x64 I'm pretty sure it's a driver related problem, search for x64 drivers. On vista i would suggest connecting the phone thru the usb cable and let windows install it's own software from the update center. Hope this helps.
[Dell Streak 7] mrspock2002:
I just snagged a Streak 7 on the Dell outlet site for 180. I figured that if I didn't like it I'd return it.

Anyways I was just reading that someone said that they didn't get the market update to allow movie rentals or music purchases. Is this true? If I can't rent movies and such via the market I'm going to return it.

Also I read that people were having issues with the music player reading music off an inserted SD card. Anyone else having this issue?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
You cant rent movies on any tablet, google specific disables it on tabs/HC (likely due to the stupid agreements they had to make to get them)

Just as much you cant rent movies if you're rooted either, if the main reason you bought it is to watch rented movies from the marketplace then you'll likely be better off returning it.
[Dell Streak 7] mrspock2002:
Hi, this is false. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 and their newer smaller ones AND the Xoom can rent movies. In fact the first device to be able to rent movies was the Xoom.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Really? are they newer then 3.2.0?

My s10 and s7 cant rent movies, the entire catagory is hidden. If it's something like having to mask as certian devices it's a real hassle then, as you must root to change your device ID and you cant rent movies while rooted (unless you use a hacked market app or something, but that's besides the point)
[Dell Streak 7] tcfiero:
I have the same problem with music from the market. I have a workaround though. I download music from the market on my DX, then it will download on my DS7. This might be a glitch that Google did not think about. I have not tried movies yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nfribeiro:
Hello all,

My magic data is:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.76.0009 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.08.29

DEC 8 2009,17:38:48

and it's only running 1.5.

In the pass some guys had unlock the phone and when I go to Recovery mode it shows the recovery RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H but it freezes.

I think I know how to upgrade to a CM version (downgrade to 1.07.008, new recovery, SPL Engeneerings) but I'm a little afraid because I don't now what it was done during the unlock.

What should I do?

Can someone please help me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 5[Strogino]:
Try to get root by SuperOneClick

Then flash one recovery

AmonRa 1.6.2 patched by cursordroid or AmonRa HTC Hero recovery latest

cause they are compatible with radio 6.35.XX.XX

Other recoveries (like 1.7.0 H or 1.7.0 G or ClockworkMod recovery) are NOT compatible...

p.s. Getting ENG S-OFF - good thing. On Magic32A it is easy...

so apparently the German government (and other entities) have been using silent sms attacks to keep tabs on its civilians

they send a silent sms to someones phone, it dosent show up at all on their device, but it pings back Imei numbers and other info, which can be cross reffed with the operator log of the towers and used to compile an entire movement profile for an individual

now i dont know about you but as an upstanding citizen this kind of crap concerns the heck outta me.

i believe further exploration into some sort of defense against ssms attacks is in order but it is way above my paygrade ;)
[General Topics] Eeroz:
I'm not so sure about this.. So the mobile OS developers, operators and the government(s) are involved in this? To me this sounds like someone is a bit paranoid. :P
[General Topics] ishmael345:
It is possible and may not be at the behest of the cell providers. Look at the things that the US government has done in this regard. The patriot act here in the states gives the government the right to view and track calls, emails, and so forth. Though it could be a false alarm it is possible. :s
[General Topics] upichie:
Not the OS developers, it purely has to do with the carriers. I remember reading a lot about similar things in the past, like pinging a phone, class 0 sms', etc. Does anyone have any related links, whether relating to the governments use or these pinging sms' in general? Sounds like an interesting topic!
[General Topics] zelendel:
I hear you there. Look at the new chip they want in all cell phones in the US starting this year for government based SMS for terrorist threats and amber alerts. Wonder why it is gonna be connected to the GPS and phone mic?
