Do you want me to flash the 1-25 or the 1-26 build ? Then the kernel, what about the gapps ? Alright back in a flash LOL:D
[Motorola Triumph] Whyzor:
Flash the 01-26 ROM, don't install any apps, see if it overheats, if so, flash theOC kernel, check again if it overheats, then if not, reinstall your usual apps. If it starts overheating, then it's an app you installed. 'Battery usage' should be able to point out what it is. Or settings - applications - running services will also help find it, uninstall it and let the developer of that app know.
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
i'm wondering if juice defender could be the suspect here ? what should i set my minimum to on my cpu settings ?
[Motorola Triumph] jasonator39:
overheat

I had an overheating problem to but when I reflashed the rom it stopped.
[Motorola Triumph] Whyzor:
To troubleshoot problems, disable ALL apps services to find a stable base, then start renabling each one individually until the problem comes back, then you know.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
So I think I've correctly enabled init.d support on my phone... I've added a few scripts that I pulled from another ROM, but I don't know how to verify whether or not they are working correctly. Does anybody know of a quick and easy way to test whether init.d scripts are loading? Is there a test script I can insert and run that will make it obvious if it works, but doesn't do anything destructive... just to test?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
OK, so I want to create a script that will set a new background image on boot to test this. that way, if init.d is working, I know because I reboot and get a different bg than the one I was just on... is that possible?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
To test if it's working, drop a line like this in your script.

echo "It's working" > /sdcard/initd.log
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briderx:
Here's a "useless" post from me: I regrettably returned my Prime today to OD. I was having questionable wifi performance on my Prime. I'm a PC/Network tech that has everything I own tweaked to perfection, including my router. It's the RT-N16 (Asus). 7' away, signal dropped from 20Mbps down to 11Mbps. With Bluetooth on, it dropped to 325Kbps. The serial # started with B___ (I think BCKOS?) I don't have it in front of me, but it's the older hardware version. Anyway, so I had it boxed up two days ago, but unboxed it last night, as I really didn't want to return it. I figured since I had done a hard reset, that MAYBE it would magically fix itself. However, I spent a few hours browsing XDA, and testing the prime as much as I could and still ended up boxing it back up and shipping it out today. Looking around at other options, as I need something for work, I honestly don't want anything else. I want my Prime back... Just... Working.

My buddy is also looking for a tablet, and before I decided to return mine, he was about to purchase one. I called him yesterday and just told him to hold off.. It IS the best tablet out there, but the few quirks just need fixed before it's something I can recommend.

Issues I had with mine:

1. GPS was horrible (never flexed tablet to see if it'd fix it)

2. Wifi at close range worked good, anything more than 5' dropped considerably

3. With Bluetooth on & connected to headset would bring Wifi speeds to a crawl

4. Browser would hang on loading pages, and wouldn't allow scrolling, often times would state that "browser is unresponsive" and ask if i wanted to wait or close

5. Background formatting was a hassle. Nothing ever fit right (unless i followed some 3rd party tweaks)

6. Updates for Camera/GPS never did anything or improved anything.

7. Tegra 3 Optimized games would hang. Often times screen would go haywire or would open & close instantly without loading the game.

Ultimately, it came down to this: I honestly think that the OP was correct that the pins are the main culprit. I don't think it's something that can be fixed via a software update. Also, I am pretty upset that Asus is making the customer pay for shipping. It is their fault these tablets are having these problems, not the customer. I have always been a fan of Asus, and I'm not going to say that the problems with this tablet are going to make me never purchase another Asus product again.. I mean, look at their history with mainboards & video cards.. Some have issues, but you all know that if you were going to put your trust into either of those products, Asus would be something you would feel comfortable recommending.

I don't feel that we should say "poor Asus" and stroke their ego. I think us, as consumers should stand our ground and demand free shipping to the repair facility for a mistake they made. Just as they'd expect you to pay if you broke it and needed it fixed. They broke it, they fix it. Pretty plain and simple. Anyway, good luck to everyone here. I will be closely monitoring this forum, as I really want the issues resolved quickly.. I can't wait to have that beast in my arms again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quietas:
Unfortunately I'm in the same boat. Mine is going back this weekend. I gave it two weeks, but random browser freezes, minor light bleed, game crashes, gps, low wifi power, and all the rest add up to a poor user experience. Make your opinion known with your wallet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
If the pogo pins turn out to be the reason for different wireless performance between Prime's, Asus is going to have to come clean like they did with GPS. They can either do it actively (mea culpa) or passively (change the design on future units). If they take the latter path someone here on XDA will figure it out. Regardless, this seems potentially too big to ignore so hopefully there will be some sort of communication and/or design change. Once either occurs people can buy/re-buy with confidence. An uglier route would be for Asus to continue to produce low volumes of Prime's as-is to save face until the TF700's are available. It's obviously not a customer-centric approach but recoups their investment in the Prime and maintains a revenue stream in the short-term. Although the returns have to be killing them from a profitability perspective.

I've been accused of being a conspiracy theorist so I never mentioned this before. But if you watch this official Asus video from CES, their rep makes a big deal at the beginning about the Prime being sold alongside the TF700. Later in the video when talking about the TF700's back cover design he twice mentions the Prime in the past tense saying "had" and "did have." Don't shoot the messenger. ;)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
You guys that are taking such a "the Prime's great" stance might want to be a little less confident in your positions. There are issues large and small that affect more than just a handful of devices. Some of the people that have provided commentary on the more serious wireless issues have been h/w engineers and what’s been discussed can’t be fixed with a Band Aid. This isn't just a case of "fanboys" vs. "haters" like you typically see in most forums.

With today's discussion on the pogo pin choice for connecting the Wi-Fi chip to its antennas, there's some serious questions that need to be answered. As all these issues keep accumulating, keep in the back of your mind Asus announced a new device with identical features to the Prime less than three weeks after it was released. They may co-exist peacefully for a long time or Asus could pull the Prime (or put a non-HD display on the TF700 and call it the TF600) soon after it's released as a way of addressing the Prime's shortcomings. With the amount of returns, RMA’s for repair, and scarcity which points to manufacturing issues, what profit their making is quickly evaporating. And no company continues to produce a product they don't make money on. If they do pull or replace the Prime, many will remember those that staunchly supported the Prime when logic dictates there's something very troubling about how it’s come to market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kobald:
There you go, putting Asus on the spot again. There is NO WAY they released this tablet without knowing about the GPS, WiFi, WiFi+BT issues. They knew about all of it, but their analysts computed that selling it "as is" would be more profitable than recalling it and fixing it.

For 99% of us, we are happy with screen bleed, bad WiFi range, no GPS, screen colors bad, chargers that fall apart, no BT with Wifi, dead pixels and random reboots. Those issues are non-issues, we love our Primes unconditionally.

Go troll someplace else.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
If you're being facetious, that's hysterical.

If you're being serious, those are big words for someone with a whopping 19 posts, all in this forum, and all this month.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kobald:
Maybe.

I'm almost 1-for-2 thanks for posts though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Not a difficult strategy to accumulate "thanks." Demandarin's gotten hundreds that way in a few weeks. Simply jump in to any thread that has an even slightly negative slant and unleash a torrent of positive adjectives. That way, those that are blinded by love for their Prime's will in unison give you tons of thanks for contributing nothing of substance to the discussion. Keep up the good work. You should be at a 100 thanks in no time if that's what you're aiming for.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kobald:
Not my goal Barry, I just try to point out the obvious. I actually agree with most of your posts and have sent you Thanks.

I haven't been around long, but Asus really screwed the pooch on TFP. But for some unknown reason, some people act like TFP is a dear family member and defend it way beyond reason.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Well shoot, you were being facetious. I love wicked humor. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briderx:
I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but if you were talking to me (OP), look at my post:

Meaning: I loved my Prime.. No question, hands down it was awesome. Unfortunately for me, using this for business (as I also stated in OP) wasn't an option. And, again, as I stated above, I will be repurchasing it. Just, after the issues that I have with it are fixed. I didn't complain and ask for opinions either.. I formulated my own and acted on my opinion well before posting this.

What's the point of a forum, if you can only post good things about a product? I don't have to agree with your statements, nor do you have to agree with mine.. Both are acceptable! I say, by all means man, if it works for you, keep it! I would too if I didn't have to rely on adequate wifi, or the occasional GPS lock. I was fine with the games crashing.. I didn't want it for games. But all the problems added up to something I feel would ultimately be useless for me to utilize.

If you weren't talking to me, disregard all the above :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
I get 10 meg down approx 30-35 feet away through 4 walls. The same or better tests than I get with my other devices.

I used to be able to lock GPS still, but not moving, after a pinch near the GPS connector I can lock fine while going 70mph.

No crashes.

No screen bleed.

No color issues or bright spots.

No force closing apps so far.

Dock connects solidly and works great.

Sucks to be y`all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briderx:
Yeah, my screen was perfect.. The light bleed was next to zero.. Nothing more than any other devices I own. I also had no dead pixels. Upon upgrading to ICS (did it within the first 5 hours owning it) I had I think 2 random reboots, that was the first day I owned it. Didn't have any after that. I didn't want to pinch the screen, because I was scared of denting it or breaking it, and knowing my luck, it would have happened moments before returning it :). I contemplated picking up a newer serial # one, but while in OD, they didn't have any in stock.. I was hoping maybe they had one on display that I could have checked to see if performance was better (browser/wifi) and then just grab another. I posted my serial # above to also let people know, that I was evidently in the group with "older hardware". So, my experiences may have been a bit limited.. I feel naked without mine now :)

Edit: Kids also keep asking me to get it back because I purchased a few of the Bearenstain Bears books, as well as some free books for kids on the kindle marketplace.. Probably the one thing I miss most. Ha.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
Not that it matter or you care, but I have the BC serial that is "older hardware."

Gary posted a possible fix of manually reverting back to HC, changing some setting to what appears to be "normal" and then re-updating to ICS. I didn't touch a thing before upgrading to ICS, but I know some of you got yours before ICS was out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briderx:
What's it supposed to do? I'm curious.. It'd be nice if it fixed some of the app lockups i experienced & the browser sluggishness.. I did mention above, that I did do a factory reset (not manual downgrade then re-upgrade like you posted) hoping maybe that'd fix some of it..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
He did not mention what the cuplrit was, but I think it was in reference to the random crashing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Reignzone:
Trust me, this won't last. You'll notice some form or fashion of screen defects in a couple of weeks, just in time for your policy to have expired for a return/exchange... in which case you will be forced to ship it off to ASUS.

That will be the cost of your smug sense of self-worth.

I don't believe in a "perfect" TFP, because that would be less likely than seeing a Double-Rainbow, all the way.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
Yes of course, I'll trust the random guy on a forum. I won't consider the multiple friends with them who don't have issues. When a hundred people on a forum complain that means every tablet is bunk.

And by the way, every rainbow is a double rainbow, look a little harder next time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briderx:
Yeah, but is it all the way across the sky?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
It's always the same as the main rainbow, just dimmer and the colors are flipped. I have seen plenty, along with a triple rainbow across the whole sky outside of redrocks in I believe 2008.

... Sarcasm :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halfevildruid:
O So i have only had my prime a day. Got it with the dock hot off the truck at our bestbuy. I booted it up skipped all the setup screens and ran the update right out the box. Then i rebooted and added my google info and began using it. I have pretty much used it non stop and have yet to see any problems. Wifi has been great. I ran it side by side with my evo 3d and wifi anlyzer on both and get 10 to 15 db more on the prime than the evo consistently. The screen looks good, i have yet to see any lockups or freezes. Gps tagged me fast all three times i tested it fast. Once outside once inside and i navigated myself home about 10 miles at speeds up to 50 mph hotspotted to my phone with no issues. I watched video streams the the browser and flash for n hour and a half through hdmi with no issues. Wireless keyboard and mouse (LOGITECH) worked almost flawlessly although once i had to reboot the tablet to get the mouse to go. This happened right after i connected a ps3 controller to the usb port so it may not have liked it. I have not used bluetooth yet. All in all i am happy so far and am not seeing the problems i hve been reading about. I have used the galaxy 7, iconia a100 and 500, dell streak 7, galaxy 10.1 and ipad 2. This is by far the best tablet experience for me yet. I suppose time will tell if it holds up but i am impressed.

The serial is a BCOKAS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Very funny but far from the truth. Truth is my posts have been helpful one way or another. I'd admit, my total number has skyrocketed since being in Prime section. Slowly but surely catching up to you Barry ;)

For example. E. Mote was the first to point out the pogo pin deal. I was the one who provided tear down pix to original to show difference n blew this whole thing up. More n mmore people starting to see that as a good cause for issues. Even engineers commenting on it n support of it. SO state what you want. I'm just telling it as it is and not taking definitive stances on something being blind to other possible cause. That's the stand you n some others have taken. The backplate stance. OK, we already know about that. Lets get even deeper than that n see what else could be possible. That's where the pogo pins came into play.

PLUS to your other comment about many will remember those who supported the Prime. So what..lol. I support my device because it works just fine for me. Has ever since I got it. Not my fault if some others aren't. They need to do what's necessary to remedy the issue. Return, refund, or send in for possible repair or a new one. All I can do is try to help one way or another with my experiences with device. Its better then trying to write it off or recommending a Samsung tablet that's outdated n not better than my device..lmfao.

I'm not a follower n like to think outside the box. Just because something may seem obvious doesn't mean it really is the cause or answer. AND LATELY WE have been seeing that to be more n more true. So much so that the people who took such a stance on backplate now has to actual consider the pins as a possible issue also.

HONESTLY, I don't care who is right or wrong or thanks meters n whatever. ALL I care about is Asus owning up and resolving the issues at hand many are experiencing. BEcause that in the end will be best for everyone.

DONT make Team Prime have to get Rowdy up n heaaaaa....lol.

Its all good man, you are a funny guy though. We need a good Prime Jester :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sirnice:
It's a little contradicting statement when you think about it. How can it have all those issues and yet awesome designed? Anyway, if you don't mind all those problems then who an I or anyone to judge you.

I've been reading this forum since about the time the Prime came out and I'm going to use my first post to say that the TF Prime definitely has major issues. I ended up returning my TFP because of weak WiFi especially when Bluetooth is on. When such fundamental function is broken then no matter how thin, light, sexy, hi-tech the device is, it's pointless or in this case useless. I feel like I didn't not get what I paid for and most people probably feel the same way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
That person you quoted just trolling and being sarcastic.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
It's funny that you say that .. considering.. your stance on GPS and backplate for the longest time went something like this:

1. it's only minor issue & only selective few are effected

2. who uses GPS on their tablet to navigate?? ipad2 doesn't have it.. go away you negative people

3. Oh.. Asus announces its the backplate that's the cause..

4. I honestly don't think it's the backplate, i think it's Tegra 3 and Prime is built for ICS... new kernel, driver, ICS, and s/w error.... just watch how Asus & devs will fix the issue through s/w.. thus, i recommend that you purchase it.. stop listening to "negative" comments by the minority

5. I talked to Gary... the new TF700's WIFI and GPS is equivalent to Prime.....

6. Okay, s/w won't fix GPS but it can improve to be "passable"

7. Oh... It's the POGO pins....

Now, I'll give you credit if POGO pins things hold true.. but for the longest time, you were defending Prime (and ignored the backplate).. recommended to those who cared about GPS... & said Asus/Devs will fix it through "s/w" (granted, you later changed it to .. perhaps make it "passable")...

btw, I still can't find where Asus made a statement that they will release "s/w" updates to improve GPS

yes, that means.. you confused a lot of people with your stance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
That's the problem. For people buying a high-end Android tablet now, it doesn't make sense to buy a first-gen tablet when newer tablets with better processors and features are around the corner. This should have been the Prime's opportunity to pick-up a lot of new customers and for Asus to gain market share. Between supply constraints and the cascading series of issues, the Prime's sort of bobbing in the water. I'd guess quite a few people will just wait until they have more choices.

The Samsung is a better device. It does what it's supposed to consistently and without any drama. But, with newer devices coming out, it still makes more sense to wait.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
READ CAPS REPLY TO YOUR SILLY POINTS...DONT BE MAD PEOPLE ARENT AS CLOSED MINDED AS YOU ARE SEEMING TO BE. DANG, mad because pogo pins could be an issue now. that's sad. maybe you need tl chill out...especially if you don't even own a prime anymore.

like Jerdog, the moderator, said before in another thread, people don't want to hear whining. if you don't like your device then return it. THEN GO AWAY..lol

believe what you want...I have a simple solution to eliminating fails at trolling..I don't have to keep explaining myself to some Joe smo behind a keyboard who doesn't seem to know anything about tech devices other than what someone else says.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

that's the thing. people might as well wait indefinitely then. there will always be something new announced or right around the corner. people have the right to do what they want. if they want to wait, OK, who cares then..lol they can move on. its not gonna stop things around here or developement. its obvious more n more people still buying the device and coming onto the forum. more n more people making educated decisions based on the good n the bad. alot are looking past all the obvious negative fluff around here n basing on their own experience.

Basically boils down to this. don't be mad if my device works fine for me. if it doesn't for you, then do something constructive about it. yes, alot are affected by issues, but even more aren't. you wanna say how do I know? then ill say howbdl you know its not? you wanna say look at various threads...ill say look at all the polls in Positive transformer thread n the people who posted in there clearly outnumber all the bad experience ones. most who report bad experience are the same ones over n over again. they supposedly return device, yet hang around to still troll.

Don't be mad others are happy with their device. As seen already, most are tired of whining complaining threads that hold no constructive info on solving the issue. if you can't help or offer info in a constructive matter, then those folks should just move on or else it'll be seen as trolling.

Anyways, I'm done with this blasphemy..lol. developement will go on..with or without those dissatisfied with device.
