[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
1080p? :cool:

I just wish that they had a replacement for me. I asked for a replacement, I really wanted a replacement. They didn't have any and she couldn't find one for me.

If I could have had my last Prime, Minus the "Serial Number Unknown" Problem, I would have been so happy. I would have taken a replacement in a minute, they just didn't have one.

Now, the problem is, I have $140 in Gift Cards at Best Buy, all gifts from the holidays, and I basically have to buy it at Best Buy cause there is nothing else there I want to spend my money on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
do you know if best buy finally got some cases in for the prime? last time I checked they only had ipad2, Samsung galaxy 10.1, and Toshiba thrive cases. I might have to end up ordering one online if I can't find one in a store. I ended up by a Targus netbook style case but its more of a travel pouch. I need a case to slip this into that I can leave it on it. I still find myself being extra careful as not to drop it. Any case I get would being able to go onto the prime and also fit inside the Targus netbook style case/pouch.

I'm still trying to find a keyboard dock.. maybe I'll be able to find one eventually..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
Do tell....lol! A big welcome and thanks Gary. It would be great to have ya stay around.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Atleast in my store, we haven't gotten any in. You're honestly going to be better off getting it from somewhere else because of lack of inventory.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] detta123:
When was it "removed"? It clearly was there 48 hours ago for me. lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
In RSS or online?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Just go into your loacl bestbuy say you want an "OMS order" and the SKU is 4038674 and the warehouse should be able to ship you a gray prime to the store or your house. This can be done even if their system doesnt show the prime anymore.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
You should be able to do an OMS order from bestbuy for one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
yes, OMS will work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] detta123:
CSR rep over the phone. She did it without missing a beat. Do you think she did a OMS order?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Probably. OMS is just "Order Management System" and its just a way retail and corporate order things for customers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Third Strike:
I work for Best Buy, and I have some good news about the in-store stock availability for the Asus Transformer Prime (gray). I've lurked XDA for sometime now, but I decided to make this account to share this info.

I noticed the other day that the Best Buy DDC (warehouse that ships to other stores in the territory) has about 500 Primes, and my store as well as other stores in my area are getting them this week! I would assume this is the case for the other DDC warehouses in the country, and not just this one. Also, officially, the Prime should go on display in all stores on the week of the 29th. I think this is really good news since:

1. If you have defect with your Prime, you can easily exchange it with another unit at the store, instead of shipping it back. Which leads to...

2. Possibly (wishful thinking) the Primes that are coming in might be improved models. It would be pretty bad if most of the new Primes have the serial number problem and the Wi-Fi/BT issue. But again, this is my own speculation.

Lastly, our system also says that the in-store date is officially marked for the 29th as well, but this is different from the street date, which was back in December. As of right now, stores should get the Primes in starting today (Monday) and through the rest of the week. Unless we get something from the higher ups saying to hold until the 29th, any store should be able to sell them as soon as they get them off the truck. My store is getting only two, but others are also getting four or five. In other words, YMMV.

I do hope this info helps, and makes your search (or exchange) for a Prime a lot easier.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
Any idea if the stock will show on the best buy website for each store as they come in?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Probably not. I really don't know why they would take it down off the website and make it hard for us to find internally.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Third Strike:
They should, as far as I know. I noticed throughout the past week, one store showed up on Best Buy's website as available, but then quickly disappeared. They might have gotten a return, unopened, and sold it on the floor. If there's nothing wrong with the product's disposition (I.E. open box, damaged, etc.) then it should show up on the main website. In all honestly, I would call the store to see when they will get their truck in (some stores get more than one truck in), and to call on the same day to see if the Prime is on their truck.

Also, even though the Prime might show up on Best Buy's website, it may not let you do the in-store pick, simply because of the limited inventory. You might have to come in to pay for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] saccityp:
so does work for the champagne color and if so, what is the sku??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
I keep going back and forth on this prime lol. I hate the issues but it sure is a pleasure to use. I really want one, haha.

Anyway, I just ordered a gray prime 10 minutes ago using the oms method. If I read the screen correct it showed 325 of them available. The guys that helped me were super cool about it. My order sheet says the fulfillment date is 1/20. I didn't see that until i got in the car though so i don't know if that's the date my store will get one in or when it will be shipped. It's a store near St. Paul, MN.

Thanks to the person who brought the whole oms orders to our attention.

Oh, people have had luck getting a Prime that's in good condition from best buy haven't they? I'm hoping the two previous ones i hit were flukes...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rfvgyhn:
I went to BB (colo springs) yesterday to exchange my serial number unknown prime and was told their next shipment will be in the store on the 19th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zenaxe:
Ditto Fort Collins, CO, in the store on the 19th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Don't mean to be obtuse, but when you say "in the store," you mean on the shelves, correct? Because that would seem to be the best-case scenario for me: I have an almost-fine Champagne unit but want to try out one more Prime to see if I can get a perfect unit (at least, all components literally function; on this one, haptic feedback doesn't work at all).

Would love to be able to grab one off the shelf and try it out...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
I tried this and the lady said she couldn't do it because it wasn't showing up. She was pretty firm about that. Also had no idea when they'd be in stock. Bye Prime, seeya. Won't be buying another which is very sad....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zenaxe:
Rough transcript of conversation, 01/13/2012, ~2pm MST:

Customer (Me): Do you have any ASUS 32Gb TFPs in stock?

BB Person: No. But I can check availability.

Me: Yes, Please.

BB: Looks like they will be here on the 19th.

Me: The 19th? Of what month?

BB: January, I can preorder one for you if you'd like.

Me: So, if I order today I will be able to pick it up here on the 19th? That's not like when it's shipping from the warehouse or leaving on a boat from the Far East or anything?

BB: Yes that's the in-store pickup date. You should probably preorder one if you want to get one for sure, though.

Me: Yes, please.

BB: Would you like to hear more about our extended warranty plan? <etc>

I didn't hassle with regard to toal of number of units, how many on shelf etc, since I was only concerned with my own personal interests but they are clearly receiving a shipment of them on the 19th and not all of them had been spoken for as of Friday. I also heard another guy asking about the Prime separately shortly after I had completed my order and was browsing around the clerk (different person) seemed to know what he was taslking about with respect to the differences between the TFP and TF101 and mentioned that the TF101 was their second best selling tablet (iPad2 being first). I don't think he preordered the Prime, though. Anyway it's pretty clearly still on the Radar at my local BB. The clerk knew what unit I was talking about and had no problems locating it on their system, and they already had new stock coming in. Also, there was an empty display spot right next to the TF101 that said "New Tablet Coming Soon".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
Did you do it at the computer department or customer service? I went directly to the computer department and they did it and i paid back there. I has the sku written down and nothing else just in case it didn't show up using a text entry.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
I just called customer service of my local Best Buy. I am sick of doing this **** anyways and think I am done with this device. No good as come out of the hours I've put into it. haha.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xPSYCHOTRONx:
I can confirm the date of the 29th because i just bought the only one at a BB here in Huston TX and i asked when they were getting more units and was told the 29th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Just to give you all a heads up, Best Buy has not been meeting dates with OMS orders recently in my district. Sometimes it shows up a few days after the scheduled arrival date.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Third Strike:
Okay, just as I thought, some stores are getting their stock in. I did a search on Best Buy's website for availability on the Asus Transformer Prime, and one store showed up. I called to verify, and they indeed have two in stock! The store is Mooresville in North Carolina. But just as I suspected, you can only pay for the item in-store, meaning you can't do the in-store pickup option online.

If you really need a Prime, keep your eyes on Best Buy's website, and call to verify!

Also, about the champagne color Prime; that is a special order sku, and I'm not sure if that can be ordered yet. I'll try to get the sku when I go back to work tomorrow, and see if it's possible to order.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scriptdevil:
Off topic. Office Depot online has been getting these in stock. I ordered 1 last Wednesday and received it on Friday. And ordered another this morning with an expected delivery of the 18th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
I'm at work and I just checked this for you guys...

4038674 - 32GB Grey - On BestBuy.com. In RSS (internal inventory program) it says no results so I can't check other stores. Punch this into OMS and it allows you to order it. 1/25 is the pickup date around my area.

4040165 - 32GB Champagne - Not on BestBuy.com. Allows you to pull it up in RSS, can check other store inventory. Can't place an order in OMS, shows Unavailable to order.

4615534 - 64GB Grey - Not on BestBuy.com. Allows you to pull it up in RSS, can check other store inventory. Can't place an order in OMS, says the item isn't valid.

4712139 - 64GB Champagne - Not on BestBuy.com. Allows you to pull it up in RSS, can check other store inventory. Can't place an order in OMS, shows Unavailable to order.

4175048 - Grey Dock - On BestBuy.com. In RSS, it says no results so I can't check other stores. Punch this into OMS and it allows you to order it. 1/20 is the pickup date around my area.

4222113 - Champagne Dock - Not on BestBuy.com. Allows you to pull it up in RSS, can check other store inventory. Can't place an order in OMS, shows Unavailable to order.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Third Strike:
There's a less in-direct way of seeing if a store has the Prime in-stock, or if there's some on the way.

Go into RSS, and go to advance search. Then click on the drop-down, and click "Computer". Then, click on the second drop-down, and go to "Tablet", then hit search. You should get a list of all the skus belonging to all the tablets in the department, including the Asus Transformer Prime. If you click on it, you will be taken to its RSS page. If try to see if other stores have it in stock, it won't work by clicking "check other locations". Instead, you'll have to change your store number to another store's at the top of the page. This should take you back to the page with the list of tablet skus, and you'll have to click the Asus Transformer Prime's sku again.

I hope this helps. I'm not at work, so I'm only going off memory here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] detta123:
My replacement Prime has shipped today. Just an update, that they are being sent out, so everyone, don't lose hope! :)

Also, I really hope it doesn't come in a plastic bag this time. Probably the reason I had to return my first prime anyway due to a broken screen. :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] antnyp85:
That's exactly what I was told tonight when I went to try and see if by a miracle I could manage to exchange my Prime (dead or stuck pixels on screen that I could not get rid of)... Spoke to two different employees (separately), 1 being at customer service, and he said it was pulled from their system... The 2nd was as much of a tech geek as me (we were talking about rooting etc lol) and said that Asus pulled the Prime from Best Buy a few days ago, although they just managed to get a display model yesterday.

Edit: Hadn't gotten to the end of the posts, where you talked about being at work and just checking today... Mayyyyybe the guys at my local Best Buy are just wrong... I'm hoping cuz I want my tablet back (well, a new working one with no dead pixels) :-(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] detta123:
"A Few days ago" mine was placed for an order exchange. I don't think he was looking in the right location.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gary Key:
Champagne units are arriving at Best Buy tomorrow. I have no idea how long they will last or the pre-order fulfillment requirements but that SKU will be active again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Is there anything at Asus that you don't know the inner workings of?? :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mletchworth:
Any idea when Amazon will get any (I ordered a 32gb gray back in December)? Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grumblers:
How about the champagne dock? Got a ballpark eta on that? :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I've been saying in different threads: the Champagne Prime looks very nice with the Gray dock. Just sayin'... :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
In stores or online? I may just cancel my microcenter order if I can get my hands on a champagne one! :-D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Semantics:
The reluctance to get this item into Brick and Mortar stores is starting to bother me. I remember reading last month that Asus wasn't prepared for all of the pre-orders, a whopping 3,000 of them. I mean, if an item is in production, how hard is it to get 3,000 tablets into the hands of your pre-orders and start stocking Brick and Mortar stores? My tablet has issues, its got hideous light leaking, dead pixels, and dead GPS and WiFi, yet my options are return it to Best Buy for a refund, or use the RMA that Asus sent me, which I have to pay to have it shipped to them after dropping 550 bucks with tax on a product that was put together by a bunch of stupid monkeys.

I like the Prime, and if I could walk into a store and find one that worked, that would be nice. It screams to me that Asus is dragging this fiasco out as long as possible so they can get to the TF701 and put this mess behind them. I can't even find them in stock at Gamestop in my area, they have never had one in store and we're going on a month of pre-order release. This is the definition of a fiasco, and I have 6 days left to return it to Best Buy for a refund, or take my chances and getting another ****ty unit from them online. Very frustrating.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Id take my chances and hope to not get a ****ty one, then youll have an extra 14 days to test the new one. It seems its a luck of the draw to get one with good wifi and GPS but it still looks slim..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Semantics:
Which is probably the route I will take, but then I'll be waiting another two weeks like my original tablet took to arrive. It just seems like too much trouble to go through for a product that may be defunct, regardless of what Gary Key says about the tablet remaining in production. There is nothing in the tablet that is in such rare demand that they cannot mass produce it and get it into stores. It only makes logical sense that they do not want mass production due to all of the issues they have had in the first two HW revisions and they are scrambling to get it sorted out and its not an easy fix.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Really, I returned mine on the 14th in Bestbuy and did an OMS order for a replacement... arriving on wednesday (18th) from the Ohio warehouse via UPS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] detta123:
I requested mine on Friday, and got my tracking number yesterday for my exchange. Coming this Friday! :D

I would recommend exchanging with Best Buy. :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hondarider525:
When i went into best buy, they told me that since they were out of stock they could not exchange, and would simply refund me the cost. Since you guys are having some different experiences, how would I go about getting my exchange in a best buy store?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] detta123:
Call 1-800-BEST-BUY
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
it's 1-888-BEST-BUY
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
It is out of stock... You have to say the magic words to the customer service Rep

I would like an "OMS order" and tell them SKU "4038674" for the gray 32 gb asus prime. Then they say ok would you like to pick it up in the store or have it shipped to your house? :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] detta123:
Ah you right, sorry about that, lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rfvgyhn:
Just an update. My new prime arrived a day early and I'm happy to report it's showing its serial number. That means it updated to ICS OTA with no problems.

I haven't done any WiFi/GPS/BT tests yet, but the WiFi seems to be working fine at the moment.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indiscriminant:
I went into BB on Monday night just before close, showed them my prime, asked to do an exchange in my 14 day window with an OMS order. Took 15 minutes and my prime arrives tomorrow to the store so I can pick it up on my way home from work.

Time without prime, 3 days and my 14 day timer starts again if I have another software hiccup to see if ASUS releases another update to ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Quick question about Bestbuy. I got my second prime today from them and it had 3 light bleeds, so I want to exchange it one more time... Now, if the 3rd one still has a defective screen do they only do credits on future sales or can I get them to credit the money back to my credit card?

Hey all.

I was perusing the market for open source apps last night and found a lot of underrated gems. One in particular is a Zbrush reminiscent app called True sculpt, which is well buried in the market.

https://market.android.com/details?id=truesculpt.main

It feels a lot like a simplified zbrush port, and seems stable so far. If you're into the 3d scene,check it out. Free, ad free, open source.

I am still new to this stuff but is there any way to recover deleted text messages without buying a SIM card reader? I am not even sure if my phone stores the messages on the SIM card or on the phone itself. It is stock except that I rooted it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Synthoid:
Text messages are stored in internal memory, in a database:

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

I do not believe there would be any way to recover deleted texts. Use SMS Backup + to backup and store future text messages to your gmail account.
[LG Optimus Black] voga06:
Is it (if it is, then how?) to acces internal storage and copy music to it? i have 770 MB unused space in it.
[LG Optimus Black] dflt:
The problem is that android doesn't search for new media files on the internal storage. So my answer is no.
[LG Optimus Black] LordGiotto:
With root access i think you can symlink a folder to a ad-hoc internal storage folder and put music there.

In theory it can be done imho

How to get rid of Low on space notification/restriction? I have 40MB left and that notification is simply annoying, to say the least...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmarBizreh:
why don't you move some of the installed apps to SD card?!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okluzhion:
um, I moved all the apps to SD card I could. Meaning the ones that support moving. I could force move to SD card for some apps, but don't want to screw with that.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Torres77an:
That message is there for a reason and if you know what your doing some times it just takes common sense you can move most of your apps to SD card even if the creator of the app doesn't allow it in the app setting 's
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okluzhion:
How come some phones are okay with less than 20MB free... anyway, arc's internal memory size is way too small... "common sense", huh? Well, I have my own reasons for not wanting to force the apps to SD...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenix_rizzen:
Links2SD works wonderfully for the Xperia 2011 phones.

I did the "move to SD" for every app possible, but still ran into issues downloading games from the Market due to only have 20-70 MB free on the internal phone storage.

But, using Links2SD, creating a 1 GB partition on the SDCard for apps, and moving/linking pretty much everything to that, I have over 150 MB free internal phone storage for app downloading. :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vr5411:
Are you using stock kernel?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
It isn't big, but not too small.

Some of us, as I do, have more than 100 apps and ~100MB left.

Once I had 145 apps and 80MB were left, I just use the native App2SD. No Link2SD etc

Do you clear your cache regulary?

Gives me back ~10MB each day
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okluzhion:
Well, if you compare Arc's internal memory to some other devices' that have 16GB of it, it does seem tiny, doesn't it? I have more than 200 apps and I use Apps2SD, so I move apps to SD if they support it. I used TB to force some huge apks to SD, like Epic Blue and Green themes for CM7, but it's a bit of a pain if you're on one of those themes when you have to reboot, because you have to reapply the theme after the phone boots up. And yes, I wipe cache on daily basis. I'm getting myself 32GB memory card so I'll probably try Link2SD or something like that. I currently have 2 class 8GB card which I got with the phone. Lousy card, lol.

But anyway, I just wanted to know if it was possible to get rid of that Low on space message. Like, okay, I know I'm low on space, I'll see what I can do later, but get the fck away from my status bar now cos you annoy me...
