[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nelly1977:
Best gadget i think i ever bought.

Yes, it's not cheap and yes, certain models seem to have issues.

Personally, my prime only has useless GPS which wouldn't have bothered me either way, just the fact i have it, i want it to work. If i got it to work i would most probably turn it off and never use it again LOL :)

Overall experience is amazing, fast, repsonsive, screen is out of this world (mine has little to no bleed), all on stock ICS rom.

I have been with android from the beginning and have always played with modded roms, somewhat a flash-a-holic, but don't feel the need at all to change from stock as the out of box experience is so good.

I see a lot of negativity on this forum and if i had some of the issues people are having i would be a bit pee'd off too but, as is always the case, negative comments are posted as a way to get help or express disgust, most never post when expressing their positive experience.

I think from the poll, most user are like me, extremely happy, but never normally let anyone know.

If you are reading this and thinking of getting a prime, go ahead and try, i don't think you will be disappointed in the slightest, you can always just return it if not satisfied.

Mine is a UK version, with bundled dock. Dock is so much better, i find i've always got it connected and it's like a mini laptop, adds greatly to the functionality of a tablet.

Hope this helps anyone a bit indecisive.

One very happy ASUS customer, well done for the 99.9% you got right (for me anyway)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rdalev:
How can you call this a landslide victory , when 80 out of a approx. 400 Prime owners will be returning ! Might be a landslide in your eyes, but I doubt the Asus Bean counters are happy with this poll !:eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
easy, shows basically 80% are happy with their device here in xda. just reinforces point that majority satisfied with device. which is clearly shown by the numbers.

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------

plus where are you getting this "fun" math from? lol only 29 said they returning. other 39 still undecided. which majortity of those will probably keep it in the end. lol

nice try but no cigar :rolleyes:

Not sure if this has been pointed out to you yet but, it's pretty hilarious how you state, "I like my prime, and don't care whether you do or not." Then proceed to start a poll to find out it peeps like their prime or not ! Thought you didn't care ! Talk about your oxy-morons !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] plun:
This "thing" is something special..... :D

Just great despite of all "XDA-****storms".:p

I just wishes real n-speeds with WiFi....a "thing" anno 2012 must have better WiFi !!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Like and will keep. At least until the infinity series comes out.:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
It was supposed to be irony, and to make sure people did not use the lemmings method of voting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] plun:
Well... we seems to have a Que with users starting "****storms" about everything.

Also "lemmings" which are complete Android-noobs which hang around these ****storms, frustration about Android and something different ?

This "thing" is just great :D and I am sure that ASUS will fix all issues !!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
I thought the same thing, "I dont care if you like yours but here is a poll to see if you like yours. "

Hey its the Transformer Prime, nothing quite makes since anymore. I did vote, however.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shimajodai:
I like prime so much. It's best tablet in my heart!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
What is the difference between these two sentences

I like my prime and don't care whether you do or not

I like my prime, and don't care whether you do or not
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
You are seriously going to go Grammar Police? I just summed up what you said just like several other people. Dont create a thread like this if you are going to have soft skin and get all offended. Next time, dont say you dont care what others think then make a poll.. It makes no sense.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erikk:
I have the iPad 1 and bought the prime because I needed a tablet I could use for work without having my kids constantly playing with it and sharing it with my estranged wife. Plus with the keyboard dock I thought I could forgo bringing a laptop with me on future travel.

I ended up selling it for 2 main reasons. First, the problems it was having, even though they didn't really directly affect me much yet, bothered me (don't use gps on it since I have GPS in my car and would probably use phone for it during travel, wifi was good enough in my house even if noticeably poorer than other devices and I don't do any bluetooth streaming like bluetooth speakers while using wifi though I might at some point). But the real deal breaker for me was that I realized I relied on Microsoft OneNote too much to go without it and didn't want to buy some paid 3rd party app that had mixed reviews at best.

Of course Microsoft came out with a free OneNote app literally 2 days after I sold it but the GPS/WiFi/bluetooth problems have kept me from running out and rebuying one. At this point I'll wait and see how the iPad 3 looks and depending on whether it entices me into buying or not I may or may not wait for the TF700 (if there really is a hardware fix coming for the TF201 then I'll probably just grab another one now).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rdalev:
Apparently, Asus might not agree with your poll !

On the official company blog, ASUS has come out and said that due to an overwhelming amount of customers “dissatisfied with the performance of the GPS module” in the Prime TF201, consumers in the UK will be able to return their tablet for a full refund, or should they decide to keep it, enroll in a 12 to 18 month extended warranty plan.

---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 AM ----------

Can you point out where Asus said they would fix GPS? Thanks in advance !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
Actually I am not thin skinned and thought the picture was funny. The point is I don't care which way you vote. That is why I said "whether you do or not", as opposed to "whether you do".

I was pointing out that the short pause in the sentence served to allow the second half of the sentence to both relate to the first half and stand on its own as opposed to a semi-colon which does so a lot less.

also dont is spelled don't xD
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the2rrell:
im really liking my Prime with the keyboard Dock. has pretty mucher replaced my laptop. especially since the dock come with a USB port.

cant say im unhappy with purchase at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
What I find interesting is the 15 people who say they don't like their Prime but are keeping it. Why would anyone keep a product they dislike?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erikk:
Kept it past their return window: didn't realize the problems until their return window was up, problems didn't appear until return window was up (ie bought bluetooth speakers later and found bluetooth/wifi prob only once had speakers). Like it better than the other options on the market but still not as much as they'd like. Are hoping that the problems can/will be fixed with either hardware or software fix.

There are a lot of things about my iPhone i don't like and would love to switch to a RAZR MAXX, but I don't want to give up my grandfathered unlimited data plan on AT&T, I don't want to switch onto Verizon since they no longer offer unlimited plans, there's no droid phone on AT&T that I think is worth paying for right now and I don't like that the RAZR MAXX may not be getting ICS until the end of the year or even possibly never.

There are a lot of reasons why someone might not like a product but still keep it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
Dude, your signature has issues, or you have issues that are being projected by your signature.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Agreed re: missing the return window. Perhaps that explains it all.

The rest, though, don't fit, I think. I can't think of a single product I own where I like every single thing about it. It's more, do I like it on the whole.

Oh, and: anyone who buys a product with something that doesn't work for them (or at all), and keeps it hoping it will eventually be fixed, is setting themselves up for disappointment, in my opinion. If it doesn't work when you buy it, don't count on it ever working. You can always return something and buy it later when it's working, but you can't very often keep something beyond the return period and then return it when it doesn't ever get fixed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bryanxst:
Love it

Wifi seems better than my HTC Desire, but I haven't checked this with bt. Nor have I checked the GPS.

No bad pixels. No light bleed. Though I haven't looked hard! Browser works fine with good streaming and download speed. (to my untrained eye.)

Charged once for about 5 hours whilst using the Prime attached to the dock, which gave me approx 10 hours of use, including gaming, video, music, browsing and setting up, widgets, apps, preferences, etc before both batteries were fully drained. Charged it overnight last night and can report 100% charge to both batpacks.

I am finding my feet in ICS as my Desire still runs on v2.2 Their is much more control here, although the layout is familliar it feels like breaking in a new pair of brogues. It will be comfortable eventually! I guess HTC's sensui has a bit to do with the slightly alien feeling I am experiencing on the Prime.

But, yeah, that's one hell of a machine. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] carlhil2:
Love my Prime!

The fact that it looks beautiful hooked up through HDMI to a 42inch 1080p Panny plasma, is enough for me to keep mine, 1 dead pixel and all, Netflix/HBOGO has never looked so good on this tv.[Google Maps is also nice in 1080p-42inches]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
After ICS and firmware updates my Prime just crashed crashed crashed! I was sad. I ended up doing a factory reset since I didn't have much on it and my Prime has been Grade A Choice!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vittogn:
I voted like and keep.

Fix the bt/wifi fallout, improve the wifi, give to the browser a bit more smoothness........and this boy will be perfect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
BANNING Everyone

Since I do not want to clutter the general thread I am putting this here.

There is a really enjoyable thread on the off topic page that I keep forgetting to go back to. This is my smaller TFP version of it.

Texstar banned for not manning up and crying

vittogn banned for assuming the TFP is a boy not a man

Jer let me know if you mind this, or if you would not mind if I did one in the general
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
this is my favorite poll to reference to. 436 prime owners on XDA, which is over 80%, voted the Like the Prime and will keep it. A testament to how the majority here feel about the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ill1:
I just got this yesterday and no tablet on the market looks as good as the prime. This device far better than any android tablet out currently. My wifi dances between 2 and 3 bars and sometimes impacted video on youtube. Just regular surfing or usage of the table NO PROBLEMS.

My brother is a apple fan and as soon as he looked at the screen he was immediately impressed by the screen and the smoothness of operation. He also commented about how it weighs less than his ipad 2.

My need for GPS on a tablet is in the low zero percentage, so I haven't even bothered with it and don't care. I figure if your posting about seeing 13 gps sats while in your living room or standing in your front yard, then it might be that gps is not the problem. Post about how you were somewhere actually lost and needed gps and it didn't work and I"ll feel differently. Then again most people would probably pull out there phone and use its GPS where it's far more practical and useful.

Love my prime and keeping it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GernBlanston:
People, by and large, don't buy the Prime to save themselves from harm/distress or get themselves out of sticky situations...just like any other feature on the tablet, GPS is generally used as a convenience and a source of information for hobbies and other trivial endeavors such as star-gazing and Geo-caching. And every feature on the Prime has its superior analog on some other device...There are devices with better displays to watch movies on, cameras with better lenses and optics, media players with better speakers, productivity devices with better application compatibility, wireless devices with better range, keyboards with better action, game systems with better built-in control options...So saying, "You shouldn't be disappointed because I don't use this feature and I'm not disappointed" and "there are more suitable devices for this and that" is rather pointless, imho. Start eliminating features because there are better ways, and you'll soon discover you don't need a Prime at all...just a huge backpack to carry all your devices in, and eight arms to operate them all.

Voted "like, will keep". Doesn't mean I'm any happier about the GPS not working, or the fact I'll have to RMA it at some point if I want to get OTA updates or unlock the device. It's the best device for me in a lot of ways, but falls on its face in a few areas.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ill1:
I would agree if it was generally kept at the level you describe early in your paragraph, but when a lot of posts on this board are about GPS then it becomes something different. If the lack of reliable GPS was on a Garmin device or a dedicated GPS device in a car, then yeah I could see this level of outcry. But it's not its a tablet and lack of GPS isn't the end of the world. I can see the wifi or or a screen issue then the prime would be non functional. So no, I'm not dissapointed or feel the need to file a class action lawsuit over GPS. And it's not because there are better ways to use GPS than the prime, I said it was more practical and useful to use a cell phone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
A firm reminder that those of us who like and are satisfied with our primes and keeping it greatly outnumber those who don't.

80.21% of Prime owners who voted. which is 466 prime owners. so obviously those who believe a SG 2 or HP floppad outperforms the Prime are in the very very small minority. numbers talk, b.s. walks. still no other poll with this many voters or more to say otherwise. These numbers trump anything else said.

Goodnight ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SolInvictus:
Question is, I wonder how many of those people who like it are unlocked and on a custom rom?

I like my prime and will keep even with it locked... but knowing that I can squeeze an ass tonne of performance out of it by unlocking is really tempting me ATM. The only thing stopping me is concern about the warranty being voided and if my whateverhappens insurance would cover the cost of repairing the camera should it kill itself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Go for it!

actually small number of those people are unlocked. majority of people are stock(locked bootloader.

How long have you had your prime? I had mines 6+ months no issue. very glad I unlocked. wish I wouldve done it sooner. if you had your prime at least a couple/few months with no hardware issue, id say go for it. the performance/stability increase is more than worth the cost of warranty. stock, even if it was perfect, will never reach performance status and capabilities of the custom ROM scene. night & day difference.

Just keep reading on it till you confident enough to make that move. I was least at first also but the positive feedback on custom scene was too great to ignore. custom Roms is where its at.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordanmw:
Demandarin,

With your current custom rom, do you have rock solid game performance? I mean without the reset or limiting processes? Can you play for hours with no reboot on any THD game out there?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SolInvictus:
Yeah, I've had it since April and the hardware has never really let me down. There's a bit of light bleed on the right side but its only noticeable on black backgrounds and so has never bothered me. No dead pixels, wifi has always been fine, and I don't use GPS that much anyway. Just concerns me that if the camera broke, I may not be able to get it repaired.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
Well, if I'd vote I'd say I like it and will keep it... Overall I do like it yeah. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have issues... Or that there aren't any complaints.

On the plus side there is no other tablet at the moment offering what the prime has to offer. The prime looks awesome, the keyboard dock is one of a kind. Those are reasons for staying with the prime yeah. With all the mods and patches and tweaks it also works pretty smooth.

But:

* It does lock up and reboot quite often when watching youtube vids for example. Often enough to get rid of it? No... Often enough to get annoyed? Yes.

* Again, it does have IO issues... Enough to get rid of it? No... Enough to get annoyed at times, yes.

* GPS, we all know. I don't care about it, but if you put a feature on it... you have to make it work.

* Wifi, it's not as strong as other devices and depending on where I am in the house connection DOES suffer. (Browsing the web still works yeah, also slower, but works... watching youtube vids is more cumbersome). For day to day use, it's good enough but there are moments/areas where usability and enjoyment of the prime does suffer.

Overall I do enjoy it but at times it really is a source of frustration... Something I didn't expect from such a topline product.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
So far, Yes. I can't seem to get past social club screen on Max Payne though. same thing happened on stock but forgot how I got past it. my saved game profile still up there though. ill figure it out soon. but all my games are working fine. no need for limiting processes on androwook & motley alpha 3.05. smartassphone just unlocked n said he has solid gaming also. for more feedback just ask in androwook thread.

I agree. no doubt there are issues. IM just glad I font suffer from some of the extreme ones posted.

Ill say this, going custom ROM route makes this device very capable m satisfying. I had same feeling on stock setup but custom ROM really makes the prime perform well. I have no regrets on unlocking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
Like.

People always forget that this is the lightest and thinnest 10 inch tablet on the market. And more importantly, lighter and thinner than any iPad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
Nobody forgets that, but form is not always more important then function. Great that it's lighter/thinner, too bad that doesn't help anything go faster.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vvveith:
My sentiments exactly+

That's pretty much how I feel, but unlike you, if I get the opportunity to unload it, I would jump. But I realize that is a pipe dream now so I may as well enjoy it to the best of it's ability. A classic love, hate relationship. :silly:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rcatron:
Dislike. After 6 months, the thing is on ebay. It feels so liberating!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheWerewolf:
Frustrating poll.

I like the Prime as a tablet. I like the dock. I carry it with me everywhere and use it regularly. I like the camera quality. There's a LOT about this device I like. That's why I'm keeping it.

BUT...

I don't like how they screwed up the GPS, WiFi and BT systems.

I REALLY don't like how they handled the situation.

I don't like how they announced the Infinity barely a month later, with the problems fixed.

Or the TF300.

I don't like the hacky 'solution' they came up with to fix the GPS problem.

I don't like that the camera in mine not only died, did so at EXACTLY the worst possible moment.

I don't like that it took a month to get it back and worse went through UPS who is one of the worst courriers when it comes to residental deliveries.

But the fact remains - for all the problems, there just isn't a better tablet on the market at the moment. No not even the iPad 3.

But when the Samsung Note 10.1.. I may jump to that. I really want a pressure pen.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xmguy:
I know by current info that the Razr doesn't support FM even if the FMradioservice.apk is added and a 3rd party app (such as Spirit FM Radio) is added. I wonder if the Maxx is the same? Can someone first check the system/app folder search for FM and report back? I have a Bionic now and issues with it are giving me the option to move over to the Razr or Maxx. BUT I don't want a phone that at a HW level can't support a FM Radio like the OG Droid. Can someone (that is rooted) try to download and install the FREE version of Spirit FM Radio?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] greeky510:
Just tried it on my Razr Maxx. Did not work. It installed and as soon as i opened the application it turned on my bluetooth. Also, there is no FM apk or anything like that in the apps folder.

There was a thread here and if i remember correctly it posted that the chip does support FM it has just being dissabled
[Motorola Droid RAZR] omnia38:
Yeah that's a bummer, it used to work perfectly on my old Droid Bionic.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xmguy:
I still have the Bionic and it works great. Im more than upset Motorola / Verizon got rid of the FM radio where even 3rd party apps like Spirit wont even work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xmguy:
There was a thread about the Razr. Not the Maxx. I'd hoped Motorola had kept the HW path for the FM out on the TI chip.

Geeky, I assume you tried various audio methods in the audio menu? Can you start it and email your logs to Mike the dev of Spirit. Maybe as Mike put it there is a FM switch of sorts that can be triggered.
