[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
This is all fine and dandy however like the above poster mentioned we should not suffer because of it Asus should setup a refund and or mass recall program and say something publicly about the situation because right now aside from Gary( thank God) all the consumers are in the dark with this entire situation and we all know probably only 5-10% of Prime users even stumble on to this site......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anthonyalberto:
I don't really care that they're releasing buggy firmware, or that it's nVidia's mistakes, whatever ... just give us a simple way to downgrade to a working firmware !!!

.14 firmware made my TP unusable (reboots every 5-60 seconds, so 99% of the time it reboots during the boot sequence, great). Can't downgrade with the adb method since it reboots before being able to activate the USB debug option.

The only method that works is the EP201_SDUPDATE.zip method, but only works to switch SKU zone or upgrade (was able to flash mine from WW to US .14, still crashes) ... why can't we downgrade using this method :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leithal:
Upgraded to .14 and now have 40 hours uptime on performance profile. Up until now I was a consistent 2-4 reboots a day. Very pleased. (WW, SN = BCOK) FYI didn't do a data wipe, or even a fresh boot, was unplugged from power and docked.

However I do have this same weird video issue. Have probably had it forever, as I would never have noticed until I tried the steps done in the video.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thejamhole:
I don't have a dock. Have the. 14 ota wit serial bcok and have had no more reboots. Chrome seems to lag a bit even on performance mode. Riptide plays nice. Getting good battery life too. Have had more reboots on my gnex than the prime in the last week. Still want a tf701 though. A
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] r_simoes:
I agree entirely.

It's not Asus?? Who sold you the tablet; nvidea? Asus is responsible for the stuff they put out. And regarding it being a brand new OS and brand new CPU, are you kidding? That's like GM selling a brand car with a brand new engine which fails to operate every other day or stalls when you're driving at 80mph on a highway. Asus has to take the heat for this, and they are not giving it the amount of attention they should. We should be hearing daily updates and being offered solutions, rather than excuses...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cyclona94:
Looks like Asus have just released the bootloader unlock...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] iCurmudgeon:
I read somewhere that the upcoming TP700 will NOT be using the Tegra 3. ASUS is switching to Qualcomm's dual-core processor for it. So if you can live with that ...

"I think the best thing Asus can do is allow everyone to return these Primes for a full refund or exchange them for the replacement Prime coming in a few months."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scuddster:
.11 was great. 13 gave me no reboots but random glitches when browsing, etc. 14 is back to random lockups regardless of activity. Guess I'm going backwards until cyanogen can fix what Asus can't.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfranco328:
The only issue(s) that Asus is 100% accountable for is wifi, GPS, physical defects, Asus installed software and light bleed from poor assembly and quality control. Issues from ice cream sandwich or crap drivers from NVIDIA is not something that Asus can resolve. All they can do is report the issues and hope that the other two companies take ownership and resolve them. Of course the common consumer will surely blame Asus, that's expected. Nvidia and Google have no choice but to fix this, especially since Asus will not be the only manufacturer to release the tegra3 with ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
The TF700T is a higher end prime compared to that of the TF201. Thats why its priced higher and with some slight modifications. Putting a dual core TF700 does not make it a higher end to that of its quadcore TF201.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] georgerizescu:
no more restarts after upgrade to .13

Upgraded to US.13 firmware (from WW.11) about a week ago; not a single restart after the update, before was one every few minutes. I'm using mainly opera browser and gmail.

.14 update

pff, was a happy man to see the new .14 update.

but after installing nothing changed, still got reboots once a while

lukeley its about two a three times a day so it's no paper weigth

but still it's taking too long to fix this.

maybe ASUS/NVIDIA need to put more manhours into it

i'm sorry ,but thanks Gary for your effort but there needs to be done more

also the media(NL) is very quit about this but this can't stay this way i think

ther are a lot of people suffering from this issue. and most off all ME!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alc027:
FWIW I bought my Prime today and immediately accepted the OTA to .14 (stupidly I didn't read XDA first).

Rebooting is ~every 20 minutes to half an hour or so. I also have the torn triangle with any element of Android that overlays the screen (recent apps etc).

Certainly nothing different to alot of other people but DEFINITELY not what I was expecting when I bought it.

I think if it's not fixed by the end of my ELF period it'll be getting returned for sure.

Lock ups went away

If it helps any, I finally got the browser to stop locking up on me while viewing web pages.

Sadly I just put my ATP in power saving mode recently because I was running low on power and didn't want to plug it in and oddly the lock ups stopped. I was running on medium (avg) most of the time and I even tried high power mode a few times but nothing stopped it like low power mode. Hopefully this helps others that might be having the same issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jacob111:
Ya, I noticed that too when I was using .13 that random reboots weren't as bad running in low-power mode. It didn't stop the reboots entirely but, it seemed to lower the frequency to once every few hours rather than every half hour. Maybe others should try it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] azriaziz:
Would going to a custom rom solve this issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mariush007:
Hi

I've got Prime from 1month

Now I've got WW .11 soft

Lock ups and reboots at the beginning was everyday.

Now I've got lock up/reboot one per week

Do you think that I should use .14 update?

.15 Beta Firmware Thread

Hi all,

I'm sure most of you are already aware but there is another thread about the lockup and reboot issues and Gary has been communicating with us via the new thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1503079

There's a list of users still experiencing issues on the first post there and Gary/Asus have selected a number of us to test a new patch that is currently in Beta, (.15).

Just FYI if any of you are interested and didn't know yet. I am apart of the test group for the .15 beta patch and so far it seems to have fixed my rebooting issues!

Sounds like Asus will probably being releasing the new update soon since most of the feedback from the test group has been positive.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KevTN:
has anyone had auto rotates issues since the .14 update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alc027:
What kind of issues?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thejamhole:
I'm sure this has been said before, but on the Android podcast some friends and I host we've seen that most all the Primes with the BCOK serial numbers were fine, or are fine now after the .14 OTA... Talking US versions. Anyone else notice this? Or is it just an odd coincidence?

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

I keep my auto rotate off, but now that you mention it there seems to be some lag in redrawing certain widgets when the screen turns. Then again that's probably just an Android thing. Although you'd think on a quadcore it wouldn't do that right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alanhzl:
i would suggest you hold off on unlocking your bootloader just in case you notice any hardware issues a month later.

example: i had my first prime which i tought to be a keeper. 2 weeks later, 3 stuck pixels came up on the screen after a crash. and i had to exchange it.

my new prime reboots constantly after the .14 update, i m waiting for this .15 firmware to be released to determine my next move...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ImmanuelCunt:
Not sure if im the only person, but since I bought my Prime a few weeks ago I didn't have any reboot/lockup and I'm using it everyday. Sometimes I get this screen flickering (triangle) and sometimes my browser gets stuck and since I bought it there was only one graphic bug on the lock screen. But I have the BT\Wifi dropout issue and gps is crap. Im on .11 DE and have a BCOKAS1 SN. Anyway, after reading the threads here im pretty happy with my Prime. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] azriaziz:
I'm afraid I've already crossed to the dark side.... let's hope nothing goes wrong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hellalucard:
.15 has been released. Just got it here in Kentucky.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cyclona94:
Seems to be the case for me, for sure. Used to have reboots between 30 seconds and 10 minutes without fail, boot loops, all sorts. After installing .14 I've had an uptime of over 91 hours now, not a single reboot so far (though I keep expecting it at any minute still!)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] angler67:
FYI

.14 issues being handled in another thread referenced a few posts up. A beta .15 was already tested in 2 or 3 phases and a OTA release has been pushed out to many countries.

I have received OTA notification in Ca, US, but am afraid to disrupt the .14 running PERFECTLY on my 32GB Prime.

Will monitor upgrade feedback of other users.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whalemonster:
Exactly the same with me - my Prime is 100% solid on .14 and I'm scared to update!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anne492:
Working like new

I received an update on my Prime today and it is working like new. I am so thankful to the developers who have tried to assist us on these threads. I was so frustrated with the lock-ups and reboots. I love this device and can't tell you how happy I am to have it back working as it should. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyleo:
Exactly the same experience. I can live with the triangle bug but the browser crashes are a pain in the neck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clockwork58:
I was 100% solid on .14 and so far .15 has been perfect for me.

I was scared as well but took the plunge.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JMQUINT00:
.15 has been flawless so far except..... I'm getting that flicker people are talking about. It's a diagonal flicker which takes place when you do something which causes for one layer to be on top of another. Example. ...when bringing the keyboard to type here. Or when trying to type on the search in YouTube..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whalemonster:
Yep - same here. When pressing the search key in YouTube to bring up the keyboard, the bottom half of the screen (i.e. the space occupied by the keyboard itself) starts flickering like crazy for a few seconds. This is in landscape mode. In portrait mode, the flickering becomes diagonal. This happens in both Balanced and Performance modes, and with forced GPU rendering both on and off.

EDIT:

Having just experimented a little more, I can confirm it's basically in the YouTube app when it's trying to draw the keyboard layer, in any tablet orientation. Rotating the tablet while YouTube is active, then invoking the keyboard with, say, the search button, creates the flickering as the keyboard appears. The problem is most pronounced when you first load YouTube - if the app is already active and you switch back to it through the recent apps list, there's less flickering as the keyboard redraws.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shades23:
updated to .15 WW last night ... I really had nothing to lose .14 didn't fix the reboots... I played a game for about 1 hour and it's rock solid .. no crashes .. previous record was like 10 mins... this is how it should have been from the start ... hopefully it's now fixed to a point that it can only get better from here :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyleo:
I have the same problem, very ugly bug.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jacob111:
Just another confirmation for those on the edge of your seat. I also upgraded for .15 as soon as it came out and it's been fantastically stable. I haven't witnessed the overlay flickering bug that involves the keyboard, but I don't think I've used the youtube app in awhile. However, if it's only on the youtube app, then download the new Chrome beta browser and go directly to youtube.com. I just did that and it performs flawlessly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HOFFERN342:
All the previous updates have given me more and more reboots, .14 gave me reboots every 5 seconds.. it was a miracle that I managed to update to .15 at all!

But I did, and now it has been stable since last morning at 9-10 (25th) til now at around 15:50 (26th). So more than 24 hours of hard pressure with games, videos and so on. It is not rock solid and works like never before :D Fantastic work from Asus and other involved in fixing the problem. Hope everyone else is experiencing the same :D

WW-device with C10.. serial here. Just to mention it :)

New Prime, no reboots

So, after I've had my Prime with serial BCOKAS04 in RMA twice, to no avail, and sent it back to Amazon for refund, my new Prime has arrived on Friday.

After updating it to the DE version of .11 it has been remarkably stable, just as I would expect it from a tablet as this. Waiting for .15 now...

Serial is now C2OKAS03.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xijuan:
opera browser

Maybe you should try Opera browser. I get a lot of crashes using Asus browser or dolphin browsers. But after switching to Opera, i didn't experience any crash. Plus Opera is very smooth as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Csopi:
so if i still get a reboot once day after updateing to .15 i have a foulti device. is my assumption correct?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryanlaw.cs:
Identify differences Shutdown vs Reboots

Anyone notice strange CPU behavior on .15 update?

Run a few Tegra 3 games, it lag.

Here my finding, 1200Mhz, Framerate smooth. (Using ViperControl to cap at 1200Mhz)

1300 and above, will lag(1sec) --> normal --> lag(1sec) again...

1400 sometime crash and SHUTDOWN.

Never had reboots, can I group shutdown and reboots under same category?

Anyone?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thejamhole:
Been testing ota .15 on my prime bcok serial. Everything seems fine on high performance and balanced / low modes. Was playing riptide via hdmi on a big screen and had 0 problems with the graphics turned all the way up. Will keep testing. Seems more stable. Only difference I notice is performance mode seems way more fluid and stable now. Who knows anymore.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tolriq:
WW .15 C2 serial.

No more reboots, but still lot's of freeze. I got them quite easily when installing apk.

From adb or the market one time every 15 20 install i get a freeze need to press power for 10 sec to reboot.

This is really annoying since i also use this tablet as dev device so lot's of apk install via adb :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shadowlore:
Want to comment on people having the flickering keyboard issue with Youtube...

(Got my prime over the weekend, about an hour before .15 came out)

Saw the flickering on the stock keyboard.. updated to Swiftkey and it seemed to have stopped then... .15 seems to work just fine.

Sidenote: had no problems with WiFi or BT with this device (was even able to actively track while driving).. however, this was in a car with a sunroof that was open this weekend... may have reduced some more LoS than usual.

WiFi gets same signal strength as Nexus, X, Inc, and Laptop throughout the house. (within 2-5 dB on all devices)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
lol updated to .15 today

And have experienced my first and only random reboot!

Guess I'll have to friggin' revert. Again. Don't know why I wanted to test my luck, now all these folders. . . T.T
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] proscet:
i'm on a de sku, and after receiving my prime a couple of days ago, was thrilled that I could update to ICS. should have read the forums before. On Honeycomb everything was fine, now on ICS same as others random reboots, sometimes it holds out for 10s of minutes, sometimes 5 reboots in a minute (boot time itself is fast though, cudos for that)

anyway if Gary wants somebody for a german de sku control group for the .15 or any other rom, happy to join
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] epology:
Think Gary is only responsible for US market. Personally I changed to WW firmware .14 and has been enjoying it ever since. When german .15 comes out I will switch again.

If your comfortable with switching you should give it a go. I dont even know when and if ASUS DE will release .15.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] proscet:
my trial and error times are kinda over(getting too old for that and just lack the time as well), and I fear to brick my device beyond warranty, so I`ll give Asus a couple of days to come up with an original OTA rom, before returning the prime and maybe converting to the fruit company

BTW my SN starts with C10KAS...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] proscet:
the .15 us and tw sku hit the download page at Asus website today, I keep the fingers crossed, that they will push out the de sku soon as well

nothing helps me... I`m a total Looser

i`ve tried everything

.11 DE

.13 US

.14 US

.11 WW

.14 WW

even .15 WW

and still random reboots

my sn C10KAS13**** this is DE device

is the only thing to wait .15 DE ??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] epology:
ASUS Germany posted on Facebook that there will probably be an update to .15 DE tomorrow.

source: https://www.facebook.com/ASUS.Deutschland
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Torlopov_K:
you have DE model, right ?

do you think there will be a zip file or fota update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] epology:
Yes, I do. Since thats the normal way, it will probably be FOTA first and full FW zip file a few days later.

Definately going to try it when it's there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Torlopov_K:
The last post in comments on http://www.facebook.com/ASUS.Deutschland

Das "große" ICS Update für TF201 gibt es schon seit Januar. Sehr wahrscheinlich wird es morgen ein kleines Update auf .15 geben, dass ein Issue behebt, das bei manchen Geräten zu einem spontanen Neustart führte.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] painkillaz:
still messing up...getting annoyed/starting to use it less

Fully updated to the latest update...and still getting flickering screen, video starts looping/pixelated but audio isn't effected...and instead of it restarting on its own I now need to manually restart in order for the issue to stop. Happens in youtube and in the browser(android browser or chrome beta). I am full stock no root, basically factory settings except adjusting the brightness to how i like it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rlalba:
Ok I really need help with this maybe gary can help ?

I have the 11.1 update that I swear was from asus sight

and it is keeping me from updateing to any newer versions

I just tried to manually update to .15 and failed.

P.S. My prime is not rooted.

Can anyone help ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
11.1 was not from ASUS per se, it was a beta which was supposed to only be installed by those specifically invited to do so. Someone just decided to leak it.

Download the .13 update from the site, backup any data you want to keep from the internal SD card, and try updating to it. If that fails, you may just need to root and blob another update by following the link in my signature, then manually updating or resetting again if you want to remove root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rlalba:
Thanks for trying to help but the .13 us update is no longer available on asus

and I am not sure how to root the prime.

Does this mean I am stuck with a prime that cant be updated ? :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Shouldn't be.

.15 should have worked. PM Gary and I'm sure you'll get a response soon after he's done travelling.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] azriaziz:
Ive been using the build 15 for a few days now and i've noticed that i still get lock ups (when browsing and video streaming).

the prime will lock up and be unresponsive followed by a reboot.

Is anyone else facing this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tolriq:
I also face the lockups with reboot (the reboots occurs between 10 an 45sec after the lockup).

WW .15 C2 serial.

The lockup is quite strange and for me occurs each time when i install something or update via market.

Today i had time to get back to little Empire when doing market update, and when the lockup occurs the system bar locks (the message about updating google+ stays and the back or recent key do no more respond) well all the touch screen was no more responding.

But Little Empire screen continues to works, all animations and timers where working perfectly until the unit reboots.

I really hope this will be corrected soon, since i use this tablet as a dev device i can't support to reboot the tablet every 5 or 10 adb install .......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Of course some people are still having the issue return your Prime its the best option
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] azriaziz:
I'm somewhat glad to see I'm not alone with these reboots.

Its not happening as frequent as build 14 but it happens like once a day for me.

Still manageable until a fix comes along.

What I'd like to know is.... is it software , firmware or hardware related?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
imo

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ferrum.mihi:
My unit is also having reboots still, though it is fairly infrequent. There are still screen tears every time the app history button is pressed. Also, the browser now regularly crashes every few launches. Further, the camera seems slower, though I have no empirical evidence of it. Though .15 did improve the problem with "blank screens," as I have yet to have all my icons disappear, there are still problems, so I hope development is continued.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I feel bad reading that.

It's been such a rare occasion that I experience any of that. As in I've had 1 random reboot and 1 instance of graphical glitches anywhere other than YouTube and it wasn't that bad (and I only saw YouTube glitch 1 time); this also happened when the battery got below 15% for the first time in a couple weeks. And GPS that until the last 2 days must have thought I'd beat it or something.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jguidera:
I had the same problem on .14. Try a wipe, that worked for me
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cursebreaker:
i dont get any reboots anymore. but my apps or browser freezes when there are alot of background activities. i just wait till the pop up comes out and ask me wheher i want to close the app, i just choose wait and it unfreezes again =)
