[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
I just bought a used prime yesterday on graiglist for $350. Iwas not aware of all issue this table has. I bought like new in box condition and now checking all theproblems list i am happy to say that mine is perfect. No backlight issue, amazing wifi range as good has my laptop, gps connect in a second without wifi, serial number show corret. Im in love with this and getting rid of my useless touchpad
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyi1:
Ill believe in a perfectly working prime when I see it lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pubnum:
Agreed, I'm going to wait about two weeks then make another run at it. Lightbleed is the number 1 issue in my book.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I had this same problem with my original Transformer, with Netflix and my Motorola S9-HD headphones. I never did resolve it, so I simply started using wired headphones.

Bottom line, I don't think this is a Prime-specific issue...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pdanders:
Mine works fine. My GPS reception is mediocre, but it does work. Everything else is perfect.

You guys need to understand that defective products exist. I recently got a galaxy nexus and the phone had awful reception. Dropped connections every 20 minutes or less. Got verizon to replace it with a new phone which works perfectly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] deadwolfbones:
Mine is also fine. Barely any light bleed, GPS not great, and one miniscule bright spot on the screen (not a dead pixel). Everything else is gravy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pubnum:
We agree that defective products exist. But Asus is clearly having an issue with quality control. And it isn't an issue with just a small few. 90% of them have backlight bleed issues. If you think you don't, you're probably not looking hard enough.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MagicArc:
What it really comes down to is what you personally are willing to live with. My prime is great, wifi is strong, gps works (locked on 5 sats last night) however it has a single dead pixel. Is this a game breaker? No. My first prime had 2 bright areas and 2 dark areas. This was a game breaker. I returned it and ordered a new one. Now the new one has a dead pixel however when actually using the prime I don't notice one single dead pixel.

If you can live with the issues you have with your Prime, great. Use the hell out of the TFP and give it great word of mouth. If you have a defective unit and you can't live with the defects by all means return it. I would never advise anyone to do otherwise. I'm a giant advocate for not accepting poor service or quality. I worked the last 4 years doing QA, I know how things go.

However if you can't seem to find your perfect TFP, let it go. Find another device and just move on. We understand your frustration but continually badmouthing something others like/love will only cause contempt and discord.

This is not directed at anyone in particular.

TLDR: If you have a good TFP great, if its defective sorry return it and move on.

BCOKAS

Maybe I'll take a pic later to show no bleeding. I'm not sure why you don't believe me. Look at my previous posts here. I'm probably the last person on Earth to give the ATP praise. This is the first positive thing I've said about the Prime....and it was hard for me to do so, with all the negative posts I have made about my past experiences.

I noticed my bezel seems a lot tighter than my previous primes. I think that has something to do with backlight bleeding.

The Prime on display also had no backlight bleeding. I had made arrangement to take the display model if my Prime had bleeding.

Nice.

Fantastic.:)

I really hope I find a fix soon. I need Bluetooth to work for all my movies and anime.

Bestbuy.

How are you guys testing your gps? What I do to test is open google maps so I can get a map of my area. Then I drive around the block and see if I'm being tracked real time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skygunner27:
I drove around here in Anchorage with a constant lock on 8. There is a discrepancy of about 65 feet. Can someone pleaase help me with Bluetooth audio delay during video playback? This delay does not happen with Youtube or Netflix. It only happens with every video player I use. Asus wants me to RMA. There's no way I'm giving up this Prime!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xAnimal5:
He doesnt have to show you a damn thing haha. Just because youre a mad little troll doesnt mean you have the right to be a cynical b****. Get out of our forums.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyi1:
My bluetooth headset also has a delay when watching videos... pretty annoying.

Also, how are you guys testing the GPS? Getting a few locks but losing them when moving around is hardly "perfect" in my book as far as functioning goes..

ASUS did a terrible job with this product.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MagicArc:
Download the app GPS test. It will show you satellite connections.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anti09:
I have a serial #BC Prime and I got a perfect one on my first try. GPS is pretty bad, but everything else - wi-fi, screen, ICS, etc - work flawlessly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skygunner27:
Here is the best I can do until I get my Fiance's camera. My Nex 5C is on it's way to repair again:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pdanders:
That's my situation as well... GPS is mediocre.. everything else is perfect

Edit: I also have a BC prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Try this if your having BT lag. While in the middle of streaming with BT headset on/activated, turn headset off. Once completely off and BT icon is greyed out. Turn BT headset on. That's how I fixed the lag on my BT when streaming. If it doesn't sync the first time try it a couple more times. Hope that helps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Slider16:
I just received my 2nd Prime an hour ago to replace the 1st that had the "lockup/rebooting" issues after updating to ICS.

Both have the BCOKAS serial number series. My 2nd one is about 20,000 units later and still has Honeycomb on it. I received it with the battery at 11%.

Do I really have to wait the 8 hours to use it even if I'm keeping it plugged in while checking it out?

Also, its already telling me I have a firmware update. I've ONLY connected to my WiFi. I have NOT sync'd with my Google account yet. I will wait until AFTER my ICS update.

Should I do the update from a Micro-SD card, as another thread suggests?

And do I really need to have an 8 hour charge before updating?

And do I really need to be connected to my dock while updating?

Thanks to everyone that's helping out in here.

Slider.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Generally you want to condition the battery (fully charge fully discharge 3x or close to full discharge) just to prevent any issue later with the battery.

As far as updating via SD card I dont see much difference doing it that way vs over the air. I do recommend you factory reset before you upgrade so you dont have any conflicts later. Also might be a good idea to it after the update as well. Just like if you were flashing custom roms that arent the same base roms, they always say to hard reset, clear cache and dalvik (which you cant do right now) then flash rom.

You dont need 8 hours of charge before upgrade. Just dont upgrade at below 20% battery in case the update takes longer than usual you dont want the tablet to die during update. This will screw it up.

No need to dock just to update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skygunner27:
That was the first thing I tried. Thanks for the suggestion. Does Asus know about this problem? The reason why I got a ATP is because I can't get anything productive done on my M18x and iPad 2 because of my extensive collection of games. The Prime feels more grown up. This Bluetooth limitation will cause me to fall back on my iPad 2 for anime/video playback with Bluetooth:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Nest method is the OTA update. Also its recommended you charge your battery up. Of anything, at least leave it plugged in to charge while playing with it. I think you should update firmware ASAP. As far as plugged up to your dock to update, that's not needed to update the tablet itself but to update the dockfirmware, I'm not sure. I'd say update the tablet itself first. Then once it has a good charge then it up to dock n it'll probably still tell you you have an update for dock firmware.

Beware though, don't try updating your prime on a very low battery n not plugged up. You can risk power going out in middle of update installation and cause major issues.

Mine is also BC and the only issue I have so far is also the GPS, will try BT tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banderling:
I have motorolla S305's and they lag on my PC with a BT dongle and they also lag on my TP, but I guess I've just sort of gotten used to it. I guess I assumed it was just the headphones. I use them with my phone too, but I only listen to music or talk on the phone, so I really couldn't tell you if it lagged playing video. Plus, i find the TP does not really stay connected too well to my headphones and it can be finicky to pair.

I just use wired earbuds. I guess I could be annoyed about it, but the main use I get out of those BT headphones is for when I go running with my phone in my pocket because I find headphone cords really annoying. If I'm just sitting there watching something or playing a game, I don't mind the cords.

But yeah, I am not real impressed with BT on my Prime, but otherwise I'd say it falls into the category of 'awesome with mediocre GPS.' Though I wonder if I may fall into this category of person who just doesn't mind living with little issues ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skygunner27:
Update:

So my 3rd prime that I was raving about developed artifacts during video playback and a bouncing taskbar.

So I tried everything. I couldn't get rid of those 2 problems. So I returned it.

Prime #4. Had serious screen bleeding out of the box. I installed all of my apps anyway and upgraded to ICS<----WARNING Do not do this!!!! During the upgrade I noticed it skipped some of the apps during "optimizing apps" process. As soon as ICS booted it was reboot city. Asus and I tried

EVERYTHING

to no avail. The agent suggested RMA. I said; F that!! During the upgrade process you should see every app counted as being upgraded.

Today I got the last Prime as Bestbuy. Prime #5. No backlight bleeding. perfect so far. Upgraded to ICS after the initial setup. No user installed apps. No skipped apps during the optimized app process. I really think skipped apps that don't get optimized causes the rebooting problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jtsmall:
BT stereo lags video

I have the same issue with BT stereo headset as you describe, same headset too. So, I went back to wired connection as it works without lag. Seems odd quad core would have this issue, especially as video is brisk. Maybe a firmware fix is our salvation.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
Hey sure as hell can! "We" don't have anything to work with other than the NON representative sample an posts by of xda members, their Primes and their experiences. It amazes me that people continue to forget, or simply do not realize, the the Prime is a highly sought after tablet that most retailers still can't keep in stock. MOST Primes do not have problems
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skygunner27:
So far this is the only problem I have with my Prime. They should be able to fix this with firmware. The question is....do they know about it:confused:

The 2 Bestbuy's in my area are now sold out. It took them 2 days to sell all 11. Not including the defective 2 I returned. The Prime is a awesome piece of hardware as long as you get a "work as intended" Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
None of the TF201 Primes are perfect. Some of you guys just had more problems that the average. Everyone is suffering from weak wifi/gps due to the aluminum back, and yes I too get audio delay from BT pairing when streaming through video streaming services. Some sites it's hardly noticeable, other it is greatly noticeable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
I wouldn't say everyone. My wifi signal is just as strong has my laptop and GPS is better than my EVO 3d GPS. Serial # BC. Only tested my cell with phone and it seems to work find. No light leak or dead pixel. So far mine has been perfect with non of the issues i keep reading.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mickeylittle:
Dude we're not talking about streaming video problems here as NetFlix works great! The problem is on any and all movies that you have put on your Transformer Prime running ICS while watching with a bluetooth headset, the mouths move and then you hear the words!

These movies can be on the device or on the micro SD card or the SD card if you have the dock. So it isn't a streaming issue it's just a simple press and play which really makes no freaking sense in the world since this method should tax the system resources very little as compared to streaming video which works great!

Go figure!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skygunner27:
EXACTLY^^

Another problem I have now is the Bluetooth and WiFi do not work at the same time.:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
I didn't say audio delay occur only on stream video services, I merely mentioned that I experienced audio delays in some video stream services. I didn't even name said services before you to jump to conclusion that I am talking about Netflix.

and it's not just video streaming I get audio delays when listening to BT paired audio from some video files I have with specific encoding.

And I stand by my statement that nobody's Prime is perfect, that is I'll add unless you somehow managed to get one made out of plastic or received a specially modified Prime where it's radio antennas are looped to the back of a plastic ASUS logo.

The TF201 will forever have an inferior radio strength compared to competing top tablets. But I can live with that, can you?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mickeylittle:
Of course mine isn't perfect as I struggle with the Bluetooth issue as well and pardon me for trying to get people straight as to the issue at hand. If you will go back and read you will see that the OP who mentions this issue clearly states that he has no problem with streaming but only when watching regular video on any video app in the Market. You just happened to be either the 3rd or possible 4th follow up poster who mentions nothing other than possible streaming as the possible issue.

Before responding look back and see. I just grabbed yours as it was the most recent. Sorry!

Post 13 - 27 - 38 with 38 being yours and clearly saying that you too have problems when streaming. Again I was just trying to get people to see that he and I can stream like crazy with no issue but just trying to watch Home Alone off my micro SD card is a joke!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Well my secomd one is a solid "8" out of 10

No perfection for me yet. The 2nd one is cosmetically good, no screen scratches. the power button actually works and isn't a mush that works with about 30 lbs. of force on it, but this one has ZERO GPS. No sats outside or in. This after they asked permission to open and test before sending. i asked specifically to make sure it had SOME sats, so it would be at least as good as my first one. I was told, it would be better than that, and would be as good as my TF101. That' was pure BS, and now I have no GPS at all. Unacceptable.

Maybe I'l wak it with a rubber mallet and see if the pogo pins pogo to the contact on the antenna PCB...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dutch Boy:
Based on what I have been reading Bluetooth headset lag is normal. I just paired a set of Sennheiser PX360BT to my Prime and Galaxy Nexus, both produced latency issues when watching video no matter the source. Sounds like this has been an issue for a long time and has been addressed with the apt-x profile that is starting to show up in certain devices (Droid Razor and Galaxy Tab Plus) with more devices coming. I wish there was an app that provided the apt-x profile for a fee...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
I feel kind of like the luckiest man on the planet.

Picked up my C1 Prime end of January, and it's been utterly amazing. My box doesn't indicate GPS is even a feature, which is fine with me, and in testing I get a random one or two satellites that disappear as fast as they show up, and only ever outside.

Other than no GPS (which, keep in mind, isn't an advertised feature on my model) mine is absolutely perfect. Wifi is as strong as my Galaxy S, my wife's iPad2, and my laptop. No wifi drop outs with BT, absolutely no screen bleed or dead pixels/bright spots. No reboots. No battery issues.

My one wish, however, is that both sides ("fanboys" and "haters") could tone down the frickin' rhetoric about the Prime. It does no one any good when someone is posting a positive experience and some disgruntled former prime owner comes along with a potshot about Asus. Equally, it does no good for the fanboys to snipe the people posting negative experiences. Give it a rest already.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] James Harrison:
I know right?! People just need to chill out around here. This prime forum has the most intense rocket launchers and napalm ever.

I have a good prime with the exception of gps, and love it, but I still accept that there are many others out there that are having serious problems and asus dropped the ball.

My 7.7 will be here today. What is the best plan to get in the United States? Is there a prepaid deal that is good or an AT&T plan that works well?

I will use mainly as a tablet with very little phone usage so minimum minutes would be okay and I'd like about 3GB (or unlimited if possible) data. The cheapest I could find on the AT&T website is about $70/mo before taxes.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] spridell:
Look at the ATT prepaid plans. They have a $50 unlimited plan. That would probably be the best if you want unlimited data.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] drlogan714:
i was thinkin bout going into att and getting a prepaid data plan. Been searching around, dont know if this is possiable because its not an att tablet. Any info would be apperciated.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] dawgfan:
To get voice (minimum) plus data on ATT prepaid is like $60. To add an account and get more voice and 3 gb of data instead of 500meg with their prepaid is close to $80.

I've read you can get a Straight Talk account for $45/mo unlimited everything (meaning about 2 gig a month data then they kill you.)

If anyone has any ideas please share.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] spridell:
I have unlimited voice and unlimited data on ATT Prepaid and it costs me $50 month and thats it. Nothing more.

Where are you getting the $80 number from? I think your looking at the actual service plans and not the Go Phone PrePaid plans.

I bought a ATT sim card off of ebay. Signed up for a new account with new phone number. I put $100 on it and signed up for the $50 unlimited plan. It deducted the $50 from my original $100.

Been using my 7.7 like this the last month and no problems at all. Unlimited data, text messages and phone calls.

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

I dont know if an ATT actual "tablet Data Plan" will work with the 7.7

You might be better off buying the cheapest Pre Paid plan there is and just adding the data package onto that.

Buy the prepaid go phone sim card off Ebay. If you dont plan on using it as a phone sign up for like the 10cents a minute plan and add on the 500mb data for $25. So it will only cost you $25 month for the data.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] dawgfan:
Funny you posted this. I went to AT&T and got a sim card and bought the $50/unlimited. Everything was going great except data would not work. I searched and tried different settings but it wouldn't work.

I called customer service and had it switched to $2/day plus 500meg for $25. It worked immediately.

Can you share your settings (or what might be different) in case I might want to try again?
