n4s, you nuked either the USB connector, a voltage resister between the connector and the board, or an element on the board itself, send it in for repair or seek expert advice.

OP might want to make that disclaimer a little bolder as peaks get expensive.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] AmazingArjan:
This would be great for pimping my Arc S.

This inductive charging is getting the new standard, it's called "Qi".

The latest Nokia 920 has it, so does the HTC DNA (full hd display too!)

The next step would be to also transfer audio in this way. So all you need to do is placing your phone in your car kit, and it automatically charges ànd creates and line out signal for your car stereo.

Again the Nokia 920 already has this implemented (and the best smartphone camera ever, apart from Nokia Pureview) Too bad it's not running Android...
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Calikrazd:
I have to try this! thanks for sharing
[Xperia Arc Accessories] iggi111:
hi,

seems very few tried this. i can say, that it's working very well on my xperia pro for a week now. i previously had the induction charger in my xperia mini pro for some month without problems. charging takes about 1/3 longer, but that's it.

try it! it's not that hard and phones are getting old :D
[Xperia Arc Accessories] mariolouis:
Well the wireless audio line out is already implemented. Otherwise known as "Bluetooth".

I just realized, this post is old.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] xtrabit:
wow thanks!
[Xperia Arc Accessories] XtriFe:
wow, the MK16 ? did you just follow the same steps for the Arc ?
[Xperia Arc Accessories] everesee:
Good job dude, thanks :D
[Xperia Arc Accessories] acgama:
Looks like very hard to me...
[Xperia Arc Accessories] iggi111:
sorry for the late reply. all you need is the palm pre backcover (the induction coil), and of course the touchstone.

only 2 things happening with your phone:

- connecting the +5v from the palm coil to the +5v of your phone (soil to the usb connector)

- connecting 0V (GND) from the palm coil to 0V (GND) of your phone (i used the simcard holder because it is connected with the phones GND)

thats all. it should work now :D

disassembling is nearly as in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ga4N_Ih9GE

if you are unsure which pin of the usb to connect:

you need pin1 for +5v

i also recommend to use a dremel to prepare the backcover of the xperia. make a flat surface where you paste the palm coil.

the wires you use to connect the coil on the backcover and phone have to be very thin. but i think not thinner than the ones shown in the video. if you use thicker wires, the backcover may not close perfectly. you have to try. i use 2 wires from cover to the phone because it is the easiest way if you don't change your battery too often. if you put off the cover often you should pay attention how the guy in the video did it. this wiring looks better than mine of cause.

one important thing:

for the touchstone use your original sony charger! i told you! other usb chargers may not work.

i suffer from some problems with my micro-usb port, sometimes the plug-in disconnects and so it sous not charge. minor problem but a bit annoying :)

Just a quick question from someone who is new to this kinda scene, just curious if anyone knows if its possible to run LoL on my eee pad prime (not using a remote rdc though) if i installed linux and used wine would this work? (or are there any other possibilities)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tekara:
Looking at the minimum system requirements:

I really don't see being able to play this game on the Prime, especially via Wine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Only processor speed will be questionable. We do have quad core though. Once we overclock even higher, 2ghz will be easily obtained, it will be possible. That will be dependent of how well a dual boot of Ubuntu will be. Right now it runs alongside android so it shares CPU power etc...Once we dual boot, then ubuntu will have full access to whatever CPU/gpu power it needs. Then it'll just be a manner of getting LoL to load/install on it. Those other specs prime already has or better. PRIME is a beast. Alot more powerful than people may realize. Especially now that we already overclocked to 1.6ghz without even a custom rom or bootloader unlocked. It'll only get better from here. I'd say we doing great, developement wise, in Prime first month of usage. OVERCLOCK, root, ICS, Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux(Backtrk5), added drivers, themes, n so on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
The problem here is you will be trying to run an x86 game on ARM. I'm not sure if x86 emulators even exist to the required standard to even attempt this, but even if they do then you'll likely need a machine with way more power than the prime. Probably 3-5 times at least.

Emulating is very resource demanding.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lhoki666:
Thanks for the replies everyone :D im looking forward to seeing what the prime can do in the near future, i do really enjoy having one, i cant wait untill everything runs perfect with it (rdcs with keyboard bindings for the dock, alt/esc and left/right click working properly) thanks again everyone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falkner09:
As in, real ones. full sized. maybe I missed it but... that's a pretty serious hindrance, in the end. functional connectivity is what's really setting Android apart from the iPad. I honestly think it's a major reason why Android tablets aren't really taking off. all the manufacturers are trying to mimic the iPad, including its limitations. they don't seem to realize they aren't supposed to be targeting people who want iPads; they're supposed to be targeting people who dont want them.

It's also a pretty serious problem given Android's new official ability to connect to game controllers thrrough USB. I know there's ana adapter for some tablet's, but lets face it, those are going no where. people dont like getting another extra adapter just to get basic things like that to work. this is after already using the cable to connect, and after getting the controller. that's 3 things to have just for people to play games well.

good luck with that sales pitch, OEMs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falkner09:
wow. this is disappointing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waywardfrantz:
There are two which have been the most popular next to the kindle (which is a piece). the toshiba thrive has usb ports directly on the tablet, the transformer has them on the dock. Both also have a hdmi plug and micro SD, at least I think the new thrive does, I know the original did.

Both of those were pre CES though. Big CES announcement was the 250$ 7" quad core memo370t by asus. No USB on that though I'm pretty sure, most likely a micro SD.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tech Faded:
Wow, sir may I say thank you for that I was worried that the C1 would have big display fixes. But, according to you that's not the case anyone else with a C1 have a story to tell? I have a BC serial btw.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wikedawsum:
I picked up my 64gb version with C1 serial number today. I have some small light bleed in the bottom left corner, but not really noticeable. It's actually in the same spot as my TF101. I will say that my wifi signal is weaker than the 101, but haven't had any drops or noticeable lag. I get 2 bars where the other gets 3. I have fully updated to 11.1 as well. My only issue so far has been market freeze while updating several apps. Hasn't happened again though. I got mine from MicroCenter. So far I'm very happy with it. Very sorry to hear yours is having issues. Hope the one from newegg is better!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] killermojo:
Got a Champagne C1 today, haven't had a lot of time to play with it but the light bleed is indeed pretty bad... One spot in the bottom left, all along the right side as well.

The sensitivity is great though, wifi I have not had any problems though I do live in a condo. Seems very responsive, typing on the screen is fine so far (no keyboard yet). No dead pixels. Only quibble I have is the backlight bleed which is honestly only really noticable on a jet black screen with high backlight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Canious:
Thanks man. So far I never had a bad prodcut from Newegg and im crossing my fingers. Glad your happy with yours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ericeo:
I just got my BC serial# Prime 64Gb from a dec 25th pre-order from Amazon and I can say I am happy with the screen. There is no light bleed I can see (I might not be as picky) and the screen's touch is very responsive. I do have the reduced WiFi signal everyone else has, but no dropped or laggy wifi signal. It updated to ICS 4.0.3 within 10 minutes and has not had any problems.

As for the GPS, I havent had a chance to mess with it yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gsmiley:
This is my third attempt for a good transformer prime. Got my 64 gig from amazon yesteday and very happy with this one. Yes its a BC model, but the only issue I have is some very minor light bleed. everything else is fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mail2n:
Got a C1 64GB grey delivered from Amazon yesterday. The only problem that I have is a very slight light bleed on the bottom left corner. I have no dead pixels and my wifi is perfect. Screen is also nice, bright and responsive.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fenom60:
I got a BC serial prime today from staples (canada), right out of the box there 2 noticeable 2 inch long scratch (two of them parallel) on the backplate and a small dot of bluish ink that cannot be wiped off. Also beside the camera rear lens appears to have a small scratch like stain that can be removed. Are stores selling refurbished as new items now?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
There are (nor will there be in the future) display fixes. Light bleeds and dead pixels are part of IPS screens. Even ASUS warranty states that such things, unless they are excessive, do not fall under warranty. If a store takes the item back for light bleeds and dead pixels, it is basically on their head.

This will not change unless ASUS will up their quality control standards and start throwing out light bleed and dead pixel screens, which will drive up the costs of the devices due to screens they cannot use.

Even TF101's have light bleeds and dead pixels today, this won't change. And it is simply more prominent with TF201 screens due to IPS+.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Canious:
This is true. For the most part i think vast majority of consumers expect such results but sometimes its more noticable than others - thats what kills us. I showed my tablet to the return guy at in best buy and he was pretty shocked too and appologized - return was immediate and no restocking fee. I mean 4 dead pixels and 1 stuck red pixel is def on the excessive side ONTOP of severe light bleeding all across the board.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gogol:
Thanks to OP, that confirmed me to again post-pone my purchase of Android tablet.

I put a lot of hope to ASUS TF201, but they blew it.

Well, MWC 2012 is just next month, it will be interesting to see the next wave of Android tablets. I don't know, my heart now probably go to the rumored 11.6" Samsung tablet, even though I must swallow the TouchWiz ... *difficult*

NOTE: Probably the one who has no WIFI issue is the one who has "better" WiFI AC/router. Because I think there are quite a lot of range for this kind of device. From cheap mediocre to expensive overkill one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] qwertylesh:
I purchased two Australian Channel TF201 32GB Golds both with C10KAS***** serial numbers.

I have found the majority of problems people have posted about do not apply to my two units. (each had very tiny light bleed in the bottom left corner, and that is about all)

It's scary how many problems people are posting, seems mostly in the US.

Sorry to hear about your troubles OP, my C1 serial primes have great screens and everything :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Samsung, Apple almost don't have these problems. Even my €170 Hannspad/G-Tab didn't have backlight bleeding. I mean come on Asus..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] donxuan1983:
I see a resolution about dead pixels on my warranty card (local one in Slovakia). There is written that dead pixels does not fall under warranty unless there is a combination of 8 dead pixels at same place. It also specifies whether they are dead "white" or "black" ones.

As mentioned before, I guess it has something to do with a display technology...but honestly, does it really matter for you - 3 dead pixels or some light bleeding visible only in a boot stage?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pubnum:
I really hate dumb questions like these. Why ask questions when the answer is almost always relative?

YES IT DOES MATTER...I don't want dead pixels, not even one. I don't want light bleeding...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acidus.:
Its pretty dissapointing that the C1's are having the same issues. Thanks for the update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] donxuan1983:
I really hate shouting on people, especially when the answer is almost always relative...simple advice - change you Prime or ask for money
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Canious:
If it only was on the boot stage who in the right mind would care? Heh, these are dead pixels... meaning they are always visible when the screen has any black on that spot. The red one in particular stood out the most. I can live with one or two dead white pixels but four was a first.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] donxuan1983:
just curious, don't you guys have a statement in your warranty card about how many dead pixels are necessary to be eligible for warranty replacement?

Or is it just my case here in Slovakia?

Regarding the boot stage visibility, I was referring to light bleeding ;) But I see the point of requesting a top quality for such a price...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I also have a C10KAS****** version. Just received it an hour ago :)

I have no screen bleed at all (hard to tell though at daytime) and no pixel issues. Wifi is perfect so far. No drops good and steady connection. Didnt test GPS yet.

OT: First thing that really impressed me is the speaker^^ It actually sounds very good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] troy2062:
I recently purchased a C1 from Komplett in Ireland.

With the exception of an incredibly minor area on the bottom right of the display which requires a dark room, maximum brightness and a black background to perceive, my display has practically no backlight bleed. There are no dead or stuck pixels.

WiFi performance on an N-standard network across a distance of 32ft and separated by 3 walls is an average of 75MBps. I have encountered no dropouts.

The display is bright, has no color uniformity issues (measured color temperature using DSLR) and is very responsive (tested with utility).

I have yet to test the GPS, however this unit has been overall flawless thus far. :3
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Electrofreak:
I won my TFP and it was shipped to me from NVIDIA in an unopened box. I have a BB model and honestly have seen none of the problems people have mentioned here. Maybe it's because I haven't paid for it, or because it's my first tablet, but it really has been great...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flipper2006:
I recv my prime and dock last week, my only issue is the screen responsiveness.. when browsing a page or using something like news republic, its very difficult to swipe from right to left. I also noticed using dolphin to get to the left swipe. I have a BC serial and everthing else is ok, but my crappy (well not crappy) but much underpowered Nook Color with Cy9 responds 100% better.

Is this fixable via software>>>>>?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fenom60:
I have 2 C10 and 4 BC serial primes, all the C10 has severe light bleed on the right side (headphone jack) and GPS basically dead. The BC primes is much better in the screen quality, wifi is good and gps works when it feels like it. Seems like the C10 batch has really bad screens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Canious:
**Update** 01/27

So ive returned my C1 serial tablet back to best buy and received my Champange 32gb from newegg today. The serial # this time was BC - immediately ive noticed better / less light bleeding around the top corner but acceptable.

There are 2 dead pixels (white) but not as bad my previous one... at least this time there isnt a read one. Overall the screen responsiveness seems a lot better for me too and seems like overall ICS experience is smoother.

Best of all so far i have not had one WIFI drop nor poor wifi connection im getting same d/l speed as my galaxy s2 phone.

I think this one is going to be a keeper for now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _Gir_:
Dead pixels aren't white. You've got stuck pixels and with a little luck you can set them free.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
By the way, Best Buy doesn't have a restocking fee. So, no surprise that they took it back, defective or not.

Just sayin'...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whalemonster:
C1 Champagne received earlier today from Amazon UK and no issues to report - screen is perfect with no light bleeds and no dead pixels. Runs very well on Honeycomb - wondering whether to take the ICS plunge straight away or wait a few days for Asus to release a more stable version...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pubnum:
Take the plunge now for ICS. I did it as soon as I got it and it was well worth it. Also ditch Asus' keyboard config. Stock android is so much better
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whalemonster:
Upgraded earlier and ICS seems to be working well so far - no crashes or reboots to report. Fingers crossed!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lonix:
Got my prime on friday in norway. Ot has a c1 serial and is working quite nicely.

Gps is not on spec so im excluing that.

Wifi i seem to haveq about 5db weeker connection than my sensation (witch is ay better that i expected)

dock fits perfectly, and no screen bleading, 1dead pixel (witch is within accepted parameters in norway).

i have however had 3 random reboots since friday witch im not to happy about. but all and all i think ill keep my pad.

i have not had the chance to test my prime at work yet. and for some reason spotify wont keep and online connection.

I just bought my 32GB champagne gold C10KAS prime from NCIX in CANADA (they say that only grey in Canada? hah! I got my champagne gold)

I have to say AMAZING.

I have very very not so visible light bleed top right corner,

GPS locked on my location within 5 seconds.

Wifi is OK at 2bars (-65DBM) a floor above the router, but plays youtube videos well and other flash players no problem - very little buffer time

at university the signal is full bars which is great

battery has lasted me almost 1 day of rigorous use (from me playing with it constantly) and still 29%

overall GREAAAAT im lucky i didnt have any major issues as I read the reviews and was so scared of getting a bad one
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EarlZ:
Knowing that there are defects on the screen and you still keep it? It might bite you back in the rear when your retailer tells you that 2 dead pixels are acceptable and not eligible for a replacement.

A brand new device should not have dead pixels, not in the first 30 days or 365 days of usage regardless of what a piece of paper says.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aypanthony:
I wouldn't keep it either...For $500, I would want it working 100% out of the box.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jashsoft:
Just got my C1 Gray Prime from BestBuy today. Havent played with it much but there is a little light bleed on the bottom right. No dead pixels. WiFi seems fine.

I expect a perfect tablet for $500 but am not sure if I should bother with the minor light bleed. Will have to watch a Netflix movie and see if it stands out.

Any thoughts?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I've just received my C1 serial Prime today!

Let me say I haven't had much time to test it, but so far the screen is mostly responsive. I use a stylus, so sometimes I guess I don't press quite hard enough so some strokes/presses don't register. But what does is accurate.

GPS is nonexistent, even with WiFi. Either a bad connection (I've tried light squeezing/flexing, but refuse to do too much as I think I'll return it) or ASUS's idea of a fix. ICS also removes the GPS quick setting on the ASUS screen.

WiFi has so far been rather stable. Timed out at one point, but that's nothing new when installing tons of apps at once. Prime gets somewhat less signal than my HTC Vision/DZ when being held up; however, when both devices are placed screen-up the Prime wins out keeping decent connection (no duh, considering the antenna placement/cover) at the exact same level.

Very very barely noticeable light bleed in upper-right corner (held upright landscape), didn't see it on any white/blue screens but noticed when I updated to ICS and got a black screen. Not noticeable at most angles even on the black screen. No dead pixels at all.

Overall, I'm having to debate very hard on returning or keeping. WiFi's ok, I don't need GPS but I'd like to have a feature I originally paid for, albeit working poorly, and the mHDMI-out worked like a charm with full audio.

And my haptic feedback is totally a duck! Press the v-down button too long a QUACK! Lol, I almost like it even. It's ridiculous that the little speaker vibrates the device more than even the haptic motor (?) does. Play some music and the thing just BUZZES.

Really I need to test more, lots more, so I'll get back later in the night/tomorrow morning. My overall impression is that ASUS is ASUS. QC is not really there, but so long as you play right and don't mind waiting on exchanges you'll end up with a beast product.

I found Simple Sound Profile Widget. It lets you set up different sound profiles (like Normal, Meeting, Vibrate, Loud, or whatever) and then you can select one quickly from the home screen.

I'll check out Switcher Pro and Audio Guru as well.

Like Byrd said, no need to download an app. It already has the capability to mute all sounds for all notifications, but keep the vibrate on.
