[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Think you are tired of waitng for your prime?? listen to this.

So I ordered my prime on Dec 20, 2011 from Amazon and paid in full with Amazon gift cards.

I patiently waited and was told that my prime would be arriving today. Woohoo!!

So I check my tracking today and it says that it is on the truck and in transit to my house.

At 7:00 pm tonight I began to get concerned and call the shipping company (Ensenda). They inform me that they never recieved it from Amazon. (wait what?? the tracking says its on the f'n truck!!)

They transfer me to Amazon support who apologized and told me that they would have a replacement ship out and arrive on monday.

I was put on hold and when support returned they told me that I would not get a replacement as they had none in stock. Also they said they had no idea when they would be receiving any more. They best they could do was refund me.

They would not even place a new order for me, and now I am assed out.

Now I have no prime, not even a pending order, nothing.

I have to wait for them to come in stock before I can even re-place my order.

I got ****ed completey after patiently waiting for almost a month.

I wish amazon sold shotguns

</rant>
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ToneyEricsson:
With the problems the Prime has thank yourself lucky you didn't receive one with screen bleed, WiFi issues etc etc as the vast majority have these problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Itaintrite:
*yawn*

I think mine's fine even with the slightly weak WIFI. No screen bleeding that I can tell.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mletchworth:
I feel for you. I ordered from Amazon on 12/19 and used $300 gift cards. I am trying to be patient but it's hard to not jump on one of these other sellers like newegg, gamestop, or hhgregg. But alas, I had the amazon gift cards and I trust their returns department.

Seriously, good luck finding one. Sign up for alerts at nowinstock.net and you'll probably get it faster than with Amazon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Sorry dude that sucks too bad you werent on here at 11am to see that HHGregg had them for$399 just got one to replace my borked random freezing one and returned my ood one to gamestop for a refund
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
FALSE!!! VAST MAJORITY DOESNT HAVE THESE ISSUES..get your facts straight...check out my news flash thread if you want Facts :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
everyone has weak wifi and gps due to the metal case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] got_killed:
Lol I still haven't gotten mine that I ordered on November 22.. My estimated date changed from today to we'll notify you.. It's been two months. Lovely.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vaanhoot:
I preordered mine Nov 23 from Best Buy and had to wait till yesterday before it arrived. Was getting sick of waiting for it but so happy I finally got it. Mine is perfect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Wow. I wouldnt hold out much hope man. I spoke with a "support team leader". He checked to see when they would be getting more in and he said they would not be receiving any in the near future.

This whole situation is really screwed up. How can other companies be getting stock yet one of the worlds largest retailers had none, and has no clue when they will get a decent amount.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheKricket:
True. I just returned mine to Amazon - weak WiFi, NO GPS signal whatsoever, minor screen bleed (although screen bleed is a thing a lot of people don't notice), and that pesky problem where the right side of the bezel was slightly loose - like it wasn't glued down all the way (as it is on my friend's, who got one from the "new" batch just this week).

I'll also throw this out there:

- HHGregg dropped the price to $399 - and then removed it completely from their site when they sold out (it was sold in the actual stores for the same price - so no pricing error there) - it still comes up on the site when you search for it - but click the link, and the product page has been completely removed

- Amazon removed it completely from their site a couple of weeks ago (I wasn't even given the option to order a replacement or an exchange with my return - as is normal Amazon protocol - I was only given the option to get a refund)

- Newegg took it completely off of their website (besides the open box units they unloaded for $399 this morning - most likely, returns)

- A couple of websites have notes that the thing has been discontinued and they won't be expecting more stock in

- Best Buy has removed the sku from their in-store system - managers don't believe they'll be getting any more in

Like people said - grain of salt - but there are 5 of them right there...

EDIT - they may not be getting discontinued by the manufacturer, but my guess is (and it's just a guess) - a lot of retailers were getting heaps of these things back in returns - if it were me, I wouldn't want to deal with the headache of selling them...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoTeC:
My thoughts exactly! Well put.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dorianteal:
now in stock .net (no spaces) will get you what you need!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Godswrath:
Just a bit of advice. I'm a big Amazon shopper, and one thing I've learned is that you have to go out of your way to get that great customer service. Just because one Amazon rep tells you something don't just blindly accept it. Go through all the proper channels (Phone, Chat, E-mail, Supervisor) I can almost guarantee you will be satisfied eventually.

PS Personally I've had the best of luck through phone and e-mail. And afterwards you'll get two links asking "Thank you for your recent inquiry. Did I solve your problem?", if you choose "no" it'll ask you to give them another chance. I have had success in the past using this method as well.

You should easily be able to be put back on the front of the waiting list, it's just common sense. Any good supervisor should see that.

Good Luck!

Seriously?.. You've read the posts about the state of this piece of crap and you still post to say you're bummed about not getting one that will be broken, just like the rest... WTF??

Sorry man, but you deserve to lose your money.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Do you even own one, or you just here to troll??

Not everyone has a broken prime,. Its just the people who are complaining (many of them rightfully so) are more vocal than those who are satisified.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] atoy74:
Cool, any chance we can move this to an Amazon forum as I'm not sure what this has to do with XDA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Semantics:
I'm not trying to dog you, and I appreciate the info that you shared, but nobody knows if you know anyone inside Asus. Its an anonymous forum. Btw, I'm Seth Rogan, and I'm smoking a doobie while I post this. Please watch my next movie.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
How can you say a "vast majority?" There are just as many people on here with issues as there are people WITHOUT issues. You keep posting your thread, but it is all based on an unnamed, unproven anonymous source. That could be anyone, it could be a real Asus employee, it could be Seth Rogan above, or your imagination.

I keep hearing the argument of how there are not that many primes with issues because XDA and other forums are just a small percentage of actual owners and most owners probably wouldn't be on here posting their problems. Or how people wouldn't come on here to post that they have a great prime, but only if they have problems.

Thus, those with issues are probably magnified on these forums compared to the overall numbers. However, that can work both ways. XDA could also be a very small sample of those who think they DO NOT have problems. You really cannot have it both ways.

I am still seeing FAR MORE people with issues than people who do not have issues. Even in the Positive & Perfect Prime threads.

Your thread isn't really based on any facts or anything to prove that there are not really as many issues as everyone thinks. It could easily just be YOUR opinions since your source is an anonymous person. I could just as easily say "I know someone at the top, inside Asus, and this is straight from the horses mouth. They are having a lot of issues with the Prime and have had daily meetings to decide what to do. They are considering simply replacing it with the new model since the T201 has so many issues. They are starting to slow down distribution to buy more time to consider the next step to still maximize sales and profits, stay tuned!"

How is that any different than YOUR anonymous source>? I just made that all up, but it sounds just as factual as your unnamed and anonymous source. I have read your thread, I honestly have. After reading it, it doesn't change my mind. It doesn't make me feel more comfortable or confident in the Prime OR Asus. It just makes me question the source, that is about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Are you really Seth rogan? Lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xAnimal5:
The vast majority actually don't have those problems.

You're just trying to steer potential customers away because your Prime is defective and you're mad.

Say about 50,000 people have Primes. There are 20 posters in the official support thread, 10 of them were troll posts. So 10.

Then factor in all the mad customers including you and say about another 100.

110 out of 50,000 isn't bad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gogol:
Weak is weak.

To OP, you should thankful for that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
If you go so called problem threads vs the one good thread, the good thread is out numbered about 10:1 on posts. Now a lot of the negative threads are those arguing on whose right and whose wrong but still.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
To the OP, I'm very sorry for what has happened to you. Best of luck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cloverasx:
My troubles finding the prime haven't been quite as depressing as yours, however, gamestop has the prime + game controller package for about $40 more:

(lol, i can't post links) just click through the links to find it; I ordered mine thursday night, got a confirmation call on friday, and it's due to arrive here on tues (due to the holiday)

Also, it wouldn't really matter if amazon sold shotguns.... you'd never get the damn thing...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kitts:
So far I have got 4 of them. Sold 3(unopened) and returned one to frys(GPS and freezing issues). 5th is on my way from amazon. The first one was preordered from amazon on nov 19th.

So from my experience, If you have frys near by, keep checking around 1:00 PM, while their inventory comes to the respective depts from the delivery trucks. They sure will sell you as some bundle with screen protector and some other crap. Buy the bundle and return the other bundle items immediately.

Amazon is really a long shot now, there are still lot of people waiting inline.

There was a way to order from bestbuy store(search, you could find the link. I am not sure if it is still valid or not)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gocool767:
did they ever give you a tracking number?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
This is hilarious. That is all just your opinion man. You are making up those numbers and saying 110 out of 50,000 primes are bad?

This could be the most ridiculous post I have read here yet. Seriously, your stats and numbers are based on nothing, your opinion.

I appreciate how much you love your product, but dogging others and throwing out made up statistics to try and prove they DONT have many faulty products, that are based on nothing, is not the way to go about this. That is just false, all the way around, plain and simple.

Show us some real facts if you want to argue that there are not many Primes that are having problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Yes they did. The tracking shows it was scanned in in Praire Texas the previous day. The next day the tracking says my device was on the truck for delivery (in transit). At that point my device magically vanshied into thin fking air. I have a feeling someone at Ensenda decided to steal it. Ensenda of course blames Amazon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 99Cookies:
Hi,

I was trying to install cynogenmod 7.1 on my galaxy s vibrant i9000. My carrier is bell

Model Number GT-I9000M

Firmware Version 2.3.3

Baseband Version I9000UGKG3

Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3

sjo829.kwon@SEP-08#2

build GINGERBREAD.GKG3

When I was trying to do go in recovery mode, backup Rom or change ROM with ROM manager, it went on the 3e recovery setup and was saying something about the whole-signature failed. I've read somewhere that this was due to the fact that my kernel was restricting something and that I needed to change my kernel with Odin in order to not being signature verifed anymore. So I picked up a kernel on a forum and tried to put it in my galaxy s in download mode with Odin and the PDA button while having the re-partition button unchecked.

After doing so, odin said that the operation failed and when I disconnected my phone, there was only a small icon showing a cellphone and a computer with a small triangle with a ! in it between the cellphone and the computer. In other words I messed things up and my sgs wont boot anymore.

Can someone give me a good kernel to put in my phone so it can reboot? Because I still can go in download mode!

I know, Im a total newbie...

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Rose:
I assume that the ID:COM box in Odin went yellow before you pressed the Start button initially....

If not, that's your first problem that needs to be addressed, as you can't flash unless Odin can see your phone.

You can get a rooted kernel here.

If that doesn't get you up and running and you haven't downloaded UGKG3, go here and search for UGKG3 and download it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 99Cookies:
omg, thank you sooooooo much! It worked!

Do you know a kernel that I could use to for my phone to accept custom ROMs ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Rose:
Glad that worked.

UGKG3 does not have a lot of support from the developer community, as it's a rather rare release with only a couple of carriers using it.

Semaphore and CF-Root seem to be the popular ones that include CWM.

Not sure which one you would use with UGKG3, as it's not well supported.

that's download mode.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1293751

however, if your usb cord, or the usb on your pc or usb on your phone is bad, you should be very careful with your flash.

if it's the cord or port, use a different one.

if it's your phone, find the most reliable position before u go ahead.

if it acts up on you mid-flash, you may hard brick it

[General Questions and Answers] workdowg:
I switched to linux on all my computers to "avoid" viruses and have peace of mind. With my complete rom backups, do I need to have another memory hogging app (anti-virus) running in the background of my phone and tablet? I'm just really curious why it would be needed...
[General Questions and Answers] j@nus:
There are quite a few Anti Virus apps available, but I haven't heard of any Viruses!

Once there is confirmed news of a Virus attack on Android, I will install an app
[General Questions and Answers] yngwin:
No, anti-virus in not needed on Android. It is Linux-based and keeps apps running in their own sandbox. Just be careful about what apps you give superuser permissions (if you have your device rooted).

One possible area of concern may be when you do hook up your device with a Windows PC over USB, your SD card may get infected and in turn infect other PCs. But Windows viruses have no influence on your Android system itself.
[General Questions and Answers] Kagadar:
You don't need an anti-virus application on Android. There are no viruses for Android (as of yet) that will infect your system without you explicitly giving it permission to do so. If you do not have a rooted device, the potential damage that can be caused by a malicious application is quite limited (but it could still run your phone bill up, for example). There have been some web scripts in the past that allowed access to your phone's SD card, but these security holes have been fixed in the latest builds of Android.

The best course of action is to be smart about what you install. Always look at the permissions that an application requests before you install it. There are also several permission managers available on the market. These applications require root access, and will block other applications in the system from being able to request certain intents (i.e. starting the camera, or phone)
[General Questions and Answers] HowDoiUseAndroid:
That topic comes up a lot, and is hotly debated. Here's one article that discusses the issue, and gives some advice:

yeah there is definitely no need for anti-virus.

but be cautious of some apps that install apps ads in your notification bar. it gets annoying.
[General Questions and Answers] workdowg:
Thanks all! I was certain that was going to be the consensus. In my "windows years", about 20, I never got anything more than some adware. Just need to be observant and wary. Some things that are "free" cost more in the end.

I want to find out if any roms are avalible (preferably cyanogenmod) and how to install them

Also, I would like to know if overclocking is possible

Minor bloat removed...pretty darn fast without deodexing or kernel changes. I may just keep it stock with SU access.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] xenokira:
Thanks for the files and the guide, everything is working great. I didn't wipe and am really surprised how well it's working, but still wish I could get rid of the TouchWiz stuff.

If I might make a suggestion, it'd be good to know to copy SU and the kernel to the device before flashing the CWM Recovery via ODIN. After flashing CWM, I had to let the tablet start up, copy the files, re-flash with ODIN, then load CWM and flash the kernel and SU. Not a big deal, just could have saved a step for me (although, I also could have read ahead...).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] livedeht:
So i odin'd back to factory stock to use this, and it did push this update to me at the end of it, so it wound up not being necessary, thanks though!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] kidserious:
Yea, it seems that we do in fact have to be on at least the EH04 radios to flash the update. I noted in the OP that the update.zip contains an LTE modem patch, meaning it first has to detect the prior official radio so that it can patch the update to the modem. If it doesn't detect the correct modem, it errors out.

Is it any better or different than the leaked version though? I'd rather not go through the hassle if I'm not getting any changes over what I already have. Currently supercharged and zipaligned so I don't have any performance complaints right now, looking ahead to ics if there's nothing new in this ROM.
