[General Questions and Answers] Robertjm:
They make this big deal about Chrome Beta being out so I go to install it; first on my CM7 Nook Color, and then my rooted Tbolt, only to find out it's for ICS only. Just how many device models are currently running ICS, three ir four? That's one heck of a small beta!!

Off topic: While I do see a reason for small disappointment, I think it's early to start worrying about google no longer supporting gingerbread. After all, this is one beta program. When there will be 3 beta programs and 1-2 official programs that do nor run on our gingerbread devices, then it will be time to start whining.

On topic: I am confirming that chrome beta does not work on my xperia arc.. (but that will change in march/april, am I right sony? :D )
[General Questions and Answers] redbullcat:
I'd be willing to bet that Google don't like this decision either.

But if they can only make Chrome for Android using the Ice Cream Sandwich APIs, what else can they do? If they wanted to support Gingerbread, we likely wouldn't have it all.

To the guy at the top of this page: Google could, might and should revolutionize Motorola, for the better.

It isn't Google's fault that Chrome isn't on Gingerbread, it's the fact that it hasn't got the correct APIs.

Betas are supposed to be small, that's the point of them. This is semi-closed, semi-open beta.
[General Questions and Answers] tviking:
Well, I think Google made this just for ICS so that there would be less users that test this beta. Once it is a more mature product, I'm sure they'll make it backwards compatible.
[General Questions and Answers] ZackehSoul:
Agree with above, I think they'll get it straightened out on ICS then remove a couple of features and put it onto GB. They want to release alongside ICS, as most developers would. Release on the newest software first, and then go back for the people who can't have that software.

...At least that's how I see it :p
[General Questions and Answers] Iggy82:
I download a version from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487294

It's working fine with my SGS2 (i9100). All the comments seem to suggest that this is not the version Google released and that it should be 16mb, not 2mb.

Apparently its a rebranded 'Miren' browser but I have to say it's really fast and chrome-like! I like it so much over firefox and opera that I have replaced my stock browser with it!!

Did not work

I tried installing it in my LG P500 running CM9 beta4 (ICS based) but it didn't work... What could be the reason?
[General Questions and Answers] ricley:
Just wait :)
[General Questions and Answers] CarlosBattousai:
The problem is the 2.3x kernel. Their's a developer that's testing Cm9 for the Droid X2 and he said "Kernel modules have to be back-ported to work with our kernel."

So unless your phone's bootloader is unlocked your screwed out of chrome even thou your running an ICS rom.
[General Questions and Answers] arybaguss:
there may be able to port it:p

Google an back port it,but we can't.

The P500 has armv6 CPU right? It doesnt work on my X8 which is also armv6, even if i have CM9 too. So not sure, but this can be the problem.

I reiterate the cool story brah.

I actually sold my 32gb GalaxyTab 10.1 to buy the Prime. Not only is the Prime a generational leap ahead of the Samsung, it's also comparatively $100 cheaper.

What was the selling factor for me was the Prime's vastly superior media capability. The Tegra 2 devices simply can't handle high def media, in general, with any sort of ease. Don't underestimate the pleasure of copying and pasting video files without having to worry about transcoding.

The GT10.1 is a handsome device, and was assuredly the best of the best of the last generation of tablets. However, I will take my $100 cheaper with expandable storage, 1080p devouring Prime, and I'll hook it up to many TVs with the microHDMI cable that doesn't require an adapter.

My brother owns and uses a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I own and use a ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime and both of us openly admit the each has its pros and cons but the prime is easily far superior than the tab even with it's faults so when/if the faults get fixed it will **** even more on the Tab.

Go to the tab section, we don't care.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Thank you lol

I'm not going to troll positivity or anything, but my Prime suffers from only one of your issues which will soon be rectified. I can't believe someone got a slow, unresponsive Prime.

No one seems to remember ICS was just officially released and that the Prime's hardware is for the most part also very new and exceptional: not much is properly optimized or utilized.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
{Mod edit: Quoted post deleted!}

OK, but also on a serious note, every Prime owner knows about the existence of Samsung Android tablets. No need to create a thread just for that. BTW, Samsung is going to release a new version of the Tab very soon, so your tablet will become obsolete in no time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CraigGB:
{Mod edit: Quoted post deleted!}

have to say Asus have a much better history of supporting older models then Samsung.. as a owner of the so called flagship Galaxy S which was abandoned less then a year after release and had all kinds of problems :p

you don't need to come on the prime forum trying to justify buying your Tab, personally I wouldn't have done that but your choice :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Didn't your mother ever tell you "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?" Asus has confirmed one new tablet (TF700) and there's been a leak of another (TF300). They've also confirmed the TF700 will have better wireless performance than the Prime. Without knowing what the future holds for the Prime, your statement's a little ironic.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vincepg13:
Extremely cool story bro.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:
OP, you don't need to justify your downgrade here. You had a defective unit, weighed your options and decided you didn't want to take a chance getting another defective unit.

If you keep up with this forum, you can see there are many happy prime owners. Your coming here was a very clear attempt at trolling and you clearly got several pages worth of bites. My suggestion to those that want this forum to be filled with useful information would be to let this thread die.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
Not at all. I have the option to keep returning my prime until i get one that works as expected or eventually return it for good and get the TF700.

Dude, you bought a Tegra 2-based tablet, which is an entire generation behind the Prime. Surely you see the difference here.

"Official" S/N not found thread = 38 pages

Happy products have happy forums. Until some of the more serious issues are addressed by Asus, the shift to what you're describing appears to be a way's off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Part of the issue is that we're between generations of tablets right now. From a longevity perspective it doesn't make sense to buy a first-gen product. But the Prime's the only second-gen product currently available. So people wanting or needing a tablet now are kind of stuck. If the Prime's launch went better it would/should be the best selling Wi-Fi Android tablet. From my circle of friends they're either buying iPad's or waiting to see what else becomes available in the Android world over the next few months (five bought and returned Primes). For people that already own a first-gen tablet there wouldn't appear to be any rush unless the majority of their time is spent watching local video or they're avid gamers. Samsung's announced ICS for the G-Tab in Q1 so it's not a bad choice for people deciding to buy a first-gen tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
{Mod edit: Quoted post deleted!}

Everything.

The more you post the more I think your issues with the Prime were user error.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:
Not really. The numbers you posted are only page counts on a forum, of which many posts are people with working primes either talking to nay sayers or trying to help those looking for it. You also hand picked threads... you would need to show negative threads in comparison to ALL threads, not just the ones giving positive feedback.

Much like with any product or service, people mostly post when they're unhappy with something. Most consumers don't go looking for forums on an internet site to say how happy they are with a product, they just use it.

Edit: I understand not being happy with a defective product and buying something from an alternate manufacturer as a result... I don't understand the vendetta some of you folks are on. Its just a tablet, you got a lemon. Move on and stop bothering the rest of the community with these trash topics.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
{Mod edit: Quoted post deleted!}

I have no idea what you mean by this. Of course, you can only return a given product once (as in, you can't have your cake, and eat it, too). But, of course (!), there's no limit to how many times you can return different units of a product, unless a given retailer wants to ban you as a customer because you're making too many returns. I suppose that's theoretically possible. But, buy from 100 different retailers, you can return 100 times.

So, really, this simply makes no sense.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
well hope you're happy^^ I can only shake my head. At least you should have tried out the dock.

Seriously this device takes computing to a whole new lvl in my opinion. Its the absolute alrounder in the whole IT world. It does everything and most of it it does very good. Gaming (real gaming with gamepads), Emulators, Typing, Handwriting, Painting, Browsing, Output media to your TV, Watch Streams, Read books, Read Comics, Transpose my sheet music on the fly and and and ...

There is no other device that does so much, so good, for such a little price. Yes it has some childhood diseases (not sure if that expression works in english :D ) but i'm sure it will grow up just fine.

Well I'm a Gtab to Prime convert, guess I should have started a thread in their forum......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
{Mod edit: Quoted post deleted!}

This still doesn't explain your original statement. And, yes, any retailer will ban you from returning if they "figure out that you are abusing the system." However, returning defective products is not "abusing the system." Indeed, it's the very reason return policies exist. If a product is defective, someone's going to return it--it doesn't matter if it's the same person over and over or many people.

Usually, the term "abusing the system" with regard to returns is reserved for people who buy products to use for short periods, e.g., buying camcorders to use on vacations, and then return them.

And speaking for myself, I went through the "hassle" because I want a tablet that can be comfortably used in direct sunlight. I'm sure other people have their own reasons, up to and including that they just think the Prime is a great tablet. If you don't have such reasons, more power to you, but I have to ask: why would you continue visiting a forum for a product that you have no use for? Wouldn't you rather spend your time doing something more productive?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thomslik:
cyberbrutus, you sure know how to bring out the Prime fanboys! You would think they would all stay over in the "The Positive Transformer Prime Thread" if they are all so happy, rather than jumping into this one. It's been said many time that misery loves company.

The more often I come back here hoping to see that the Prime has finally been completed and working as advertised, the more I realize it's probably not going to happen. I would probably try another, if it did. Meanwhile, I too am using a Tegra 2 tablet which actually works!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
It's not about being a "Prime fanboy." I combat trolling everywhere I find it.

If you don't understand that posting in a forum that you're leaving one product for another is unnecessary, antagonistic, and just generally impolite, then I won't try to explain it to you.

This thread is hilarious. Glad I found it. I was seconds away from buying a tab 10.1 when I found the prime. Ups and downs insued, I decided to still buy it. Will get it friday and can't wait. Haven't thought once about the tab 10.1 since. Its obsolute OP, deal with it. I looked at the tab 10.1's forums before finding the prime and the tab's forum was littered w all the issues of that tablet also. So go troll that forum since you now belong to that community not this one. This one has enough trololololololz.

If that ever happens I, and many others, may be the first in line for a new prime again! I just wasn't willing to take a chance after Asus screwed me on the GPS by changing the specs. That arrogance left me really PO'ed. Until then, there was hope for the other issues. I returned it before my window expired. So far I don't appear to have missed much.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Asus will no doubt have a Teg3 Transformer with great wireless that's working "p-e-r-f-e-c-t-l-y." They may even have two. Between the TF201, TF300, and TF700, where and how the Prime ends up remains to be seen. It's still a little early in the game to be so smug when no one has a clue as to what Asus' 2012 10.1" tablet plans are. They certainly don't need to incur the costs of building and distributing three similarly featured tablets when $399+ Android tablets make up less than 15% of the market and they don’t even offer 3/4G which is a third of those sales.

and my screen doesnt look like i use it out in the rain

my market works 100% of the time i need apps

plus, this thread makes it look like your Tab has had a relapse

random reboots, powers off, locking and freezing?

and you cant hold your tablet upright because it starts seizing?

This is all crazy ya'll

This is actually really entertaining! I'm pretty bored at work so I have nothing better to do really.

My two cents. I was looking at tablets while waiting for the prime to come out, I had seen heaps of galaxy 10.1 ads on TV so I thought I might check it out at JB HI-FI (a local store).

From the moment I touched it... .. ... lag. It made me cry. It was really a disaster on wheels.

I understand it was just stock HC and custom ROMs would fix much of the lag, but when I got my prime it chewed on HC for breakfast. Sure, not as smooth as ICS but it was quick.

I do have a dead GPS though :(

Ohh and when the prime is coupled with the dock, I can throw my old laptop out the window!

Bottom line, It's sad that Asus has addmittadly screwed a launch of a flagship product so badly that it has caused WW3 to begin on these forums between working and non-working Primes. But when It does work, just wow.

PS i'm actually making a mini documentary on the history of the prime and all this drama so stay tuned ;)

Samsung's sold 5.8MM G-Tabs. VZW, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile sell as many as Samsung direct. It's sold by every leading wireless carrier worldwide.

Their A15-based 2GHz Exynos G-Tab replacement with 4x the graphic bandwidth of Teg3 will be out in Q2.

Dude, if any of you have been paying attention, you would have heard about a little thing called the Power VR 6 series "G6200" and "G6400". Rumoured to have GPU the performance in the 100GFLOP range. For comparison:

GeForce 8800 GT 512MB, est. 60GFLOPS

GeForce GTX 250 1024MB, est. 84GFLOPS

GeForce GTX 285 1024MB, est. 127GFLOPS

Those are DESKTOP gaming graphics cards that could run crysis.

I know that many other things are going on under the hood, but if apple puts this beast in their next ipad.. well, everyone should be terrified.

Not worried about it. Tegra4 will eat that up. Plus those chips won't be out no time soon. Ipad3 won't have it.

So as you clearly see, Nvidia is not the greatest GPU maker for nothing..lmfao tegra4 blows those ones you mentioned and in link away. Then we not even gonna talk about Wayne n Stark Chips which is light years ahead of anything imaginable. Tegra4 due out Oct. 2012. NVIDIA has GPU market on lock. I'm placing all bets on Nvidia ;)

I know right..lol. tegra3 is just the beginning of the next generation of high powered mobile computing chips. The ones you mentioned and tegra4 alone will be able to push xbox360 or PS3 emulators more than likely. One thing for sure, developers need to get their game up. What's the use of having all this power if the apps still catching up to older technology. Plus these new chips will make it easier to developement for. Very anxious to see what the future brings for tablets. Next tablet I get after prime will be some kind of tegra4 or later device. No sense in making incremental upgrades. Prime tegra3 good to last a long time. So next time I upgrade, it will be a huge one. Like I did going from my ipad1 to the Prime. Night n day difference in performance and all around use.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
We will get there soon enough on mobile/tablet platform. Tablet will hit it first. Technology advances exponentially so it'll be here sooner than you think ;) with what Nvidia plans with Stark chipset, its specs could possibly put it well past current console power. Console advantage is that its larger so more room to fit several components. Haven't you noticed how all current console systems got smaller after intial release. Technology advanced to allow them to do so. Even newer ps3 more powerful than original one. Same with xbox360.
