[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Yeah, I know, but the favor's one that if made public would probably get them a slew of unwanted calls. :-) Would be a terrible way to pay them back.

Suffice it to say that it's a unit that was received by them no later than last week, and is definitely a C2 (says so right on the box and on the sticker). I'll definitely report back this evening on whether there's any marked difference from the C1's.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
Did it come with a large cleaning cloth ? ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
You know, I didn't check. I will, tho, and will compare its dimensions against the C1's. If it's larger, I'll consider that a bonus and give raspberries to everyone else. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jsorvik:
Wow!!! If it has fixed wifi/BT AND a bigger cloth. I might just have to try one again! If the wifi/BT is still borked but it has a bigger cloth . . . well then I will have to think about it. . . :cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yakandu:
with just one C2 prime test we cant conclude anything... if results are good maybe you are lucky, if they are bad maybe you are unlucky xD... we need more people with those C2!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Very valid point... Unless there was some major component change from C1 to C2, which might not even be apparent. I'll report back whatever I find, regardless.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaypm:
don't get your hopes up. despite some initial excitement i don't see any discernible improvement from the overall C1 units vs. the preceding BC units as per the C1 thread. both were clearly better than BB, but that's only because BB had all of the units with disconnected wifi antennas in it.

remember that these major serial number IDs (BB, BC, C1) are just indications of the month of production and do not necessarily signal "batches" or any retooling on asus' side. for us they are a convenient way to try and bucket asus' production runs and see if anything is improving. but any manufacturing improvements could just as easily take place in the middle of a month as they could at the end.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] techiesam:
I just got unit with C20 serial. It has no mention of GPS. Wireless is weak and it drops down with bluetooth. There is no light bleed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MOD64:
I got my C20 from gamestop today... all seems well so far...i havent upgraded to ICS yet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] snakeybidder:
How's gps mate?

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaypm:
wow. still not shipping with ICS. seriously, asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
I totally understand that. . . I guess I am just an optimist that hopes ASUS will at some point get their QC act together. We know that quite a few C1 tablets still have issues. . . If we find the C2s are mostly good, then we know that sometime prior to February they tightened things up. It would be nice to know when it is safe to get back in the water.:D

OTOH, it looks like one C2 is already in the books with a weak WIFI, so perhaps C2 will turn out to not be the baseline of when things stabilized. On the other hand, maybe it is just one weak unit. Keep those C2 reports coming to see if mid C1 into C2 was an improvement on QC.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Given that they removed GPS from the boxes for the C2s that have been delivered and the fact that ASUS themselves have said GPS is going to remain broken, I think we can pretty much settle into the fact that GPS will never be a reliable expectation with the primes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Norcalz71:
so since they "removed" it, is it actually removed/disconnected/disabled and not controllable in the software, or is it all there it just simply isn't listed as a feature, but the feature is there, however weak it may function.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Pretty sure the hardware is still there. ASUS just tells you that you shouldn't expect it to work.:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaypm:
optimism is fine, but i think a realistic set of expectations from here forward are:

1) wifi and gps reception and performance will never majorly improve on the tf201 as the primary limiting factor is the all-aluminum backplate. the likelihood of asus changing this is EXTREMELY LOW, if only because a huge portion of prior tf201 purchasers will request a backplate replacement. the backplate and weak wifi are fundamental aspects of the tf201 design.

2) simultaneously wifi/bt performance may improve, but any fix will come in the form of a software update, not a new batch of hardware. i assert this because this issue has not been tied to any specific hardware decisions other than perhaps the selection of the particular wifi/bt chipset, which again asus is unlikely to change for the same reason as #1.

3) backlight bleed is something very feasible for asus to address on the manufacturing side as it appears to be caused by overtightening of screws.

4) the occurrence of outlier manufacturing issues such as DOA docks and screens that separate is very likely to reduce as asus gets more effective at manufacturing, which generally comes as they produce larger quantities.

5) sooner or later i expect that asus will start shipping the tf201 with ICS pre-installed.

in a nutshell, any significant change to the hardware without changing the model number is likely to create yet-another-PR-****show and will almost certainly obligate asus to provide these changes to existing owners via RMA. if/when they do have a major hardware fix, a typical corporate move would be to discontinue the tf201 and start selling a new "tf201 rev. B" or something to that effect. this would absolutely piss everyone off, but would also give them an angle to spin the revision as a new and separate product that frees them of any obligation to support the early adopters.

but they can certainly improve their quality control and stop shipping shoddy assemblies. hopefully that happens and i will finally be able to recommend this product to anyone i know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slopokdave:
C1 and all is well here.... it's the TF101 forums all over again. "Maybe wait for the next batch...."

Pfft. I had my TF101 June-February and enjoyed every minute of it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Yeah :) i find these forums very entertaining in fact :cool:

My C1 Prime is completely fine (whoo that rhymes!) WIFI/GPS/BT all working. If you want to wait, wait for the next Transformer model coming from ASUS. At least thats my opinion.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acidus.:
C2 owners, please report how the GPS is working for you. GPS Test on the market is free.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
But the WiFi will still be weak....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NastroGlide:
I have a C1O, bt/wifi is not an issue. Streamed netflix and listened to it via a2dp jawbone icon and no loss of connectivity or degradation as netflix would have lessened the quality of my video if it was slowing down. GPS is borked and light bleed is terrible-all along bottom and right side. Took it to the repair facility today. Plus I bricked it fixing the ad hoc issue (stupid mistake).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaypm:
yes. weaker than average, although for me i feel it has been usable and sufficient. i'm fine providing that disclaimer to other people.

but right now when people ask me if they should buy it, my answer is "i really like mine, but i can't recommend you buy one because the chance of getting one with defects is too high."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MOD64:
I got my new TP (s/n c20) today... the first thing i did was to check the box and verify whether it had GPS and to my surprise GPS was listed... my testing was unscientific but i confirmed that i was able to pick up 7 satellites at the back of my house and 11 satellites in the front... the signal strength wasnt very strong, but appeared to be very quick.

No screen bleeding, or noticeable lag... further testing to come... still not sure if i want to upgrade to ics
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BradleyH007:
I had been watching for the Prime to be available (somewhere other than eBay) for a few weeks. I finally picked up my new Prime (Gray 32GB with a C2 serial) today at GameStop.

Misc info:

- GPS is listed on the box (actually, on the label with the serial number)

- 23% charge when I took it out of the box

- ICS was not yet installed

- Some preloads from Gamestop were installed

- Cosmetically great condition, no scuffs or scratches

- The screen cloth measures about 5" x 4.5"

- The clear plastic surrounding the Prime inside the box says "Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwhich Upgradable"

I used it for a while, then rooted, and then upgraded to ICS. WiFi was solid all evening, but I mostly used it for downloads, not streaming. GPS picked up 9 sats in my basement, but I do not have anything to compare it to because I did not use the GPS on my TF101. Slight screen bleed on one side, but I only noticed it when I looked for it. No lockups, and the battery life has been really good.

It definitely feels snappier than my TF101. :cool: I also like that the USB sync/charge cable is about 20" longer than the one that came with the original Transformer.

I will post more once I put it through more of its paces. Now, I just need to find a gray dock for it. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ddarvish:
i got a C2 serial number direct replacement through asus. i also gotta say the process was painless. i cant say how i got them to do it other than there is more to a company than their 800 number... anyhow wifi is WAY better on this thing in places i would get at most 1 megabit i pull 9-10 megabits ill try to take a pic of the two tabs next to eachother and update that soon
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mengy007:
c2 owner here checking in.

Wifi is okay. Doesn't drop connections but slower than my old Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Bluetooth works well. I did notice that wifi performs better when bluetooth is off.

GPS is crap. I had google maps sitting at searching for gps for a couple of hours. If I have my unit sitting out in the open with the screen straight up, the gps test program will pick up around 8 - 10 gps satellites and lock on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
My C2 I believe didn't have gps written on the box/serial number label but had icecream preloaded but I didn't see which version before I updated to .15.

Only tried it on .15 but gps's about as dead as it could be.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyamad:
I'm typing this on a C2 prime. The wifi on mine is pretty weak and really sensitive to the network environment. No GPS. Haven't tested the Bluetooth. Otherwise, I've had a great time with it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] edster00:
I received my C2 Prime from Amazon Monday, GPS not listed on box. ICS was not installed out of the box but I took upgrade immediately. Wifi is good 40-50ft. from router (2 different homes) surfs and d/ls fine, GPS saw 8-11 sats quickly, locked on several. I haven't tried navigation but doubt it would work w/o tethering to phone. I haven't tried BT/Wi-fi combo yet so I can't comment on that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scrufy:
Funny I see all you lucky c2 guys with gps. Mine is a c10 but has gps listed onthe serial number label but zero sats from either gps essentials or gps test. Sucks but seriously i have 2 garmins and a nexus s for that so no big. Location services work great from wifi anyway for directions etc...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shreddintyres:
Got a c2 here wifi and bt seem fine wifi signal could be stronger but no complaints here, haven't had a chance to test gps yet but I'm hopwfu
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mystril:
got a c2. wifi is weak as usual but so is my sgs2. router behind 10cm concrete wall.

aside the horrors from initial batches, i am okay with C2.

Apps > Prime's Issues is more of a concern for me.

always crash. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
Nothing was changed on ASUS process of building the Prime so why the C2 units would be any better? IMO the Prime will always be like this, in it's existence, until it gets replaced by the TF300/Infinity models.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aeron16:
Reporting in with my C2.. WiFi is good. BT works when I tried using A2DP and didn't notice any impact on WiFi.

GPS unknown.. can't grab any Sats indoors but not tried outside.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cwoodard73:
I got a C2 transformer prime at a Game Stop two and a half weeks ago. Seems to have the same problems as all the others. Wifi signal drops pretty quickly as I move away from the router, but speed seems to remain pretty good except in one bathroom upstairs. I did lose wifi entirely one time when hubby was doing some serious downloading. Couldn't even get an IP from either of our two wireless routers. I get zero satellites with the GPS when standing outside on a day with a totally clear sky. I do seem to get some slow down when using WiFi and a bluetooth mouse at the same time. Not extreme and it fluctuates so that I can't get a real clear picture of it. In spite of that, I like my prime :) I don't have any trouble streaming video, browsing the web etc except in aforementioned case where hubby was hogging the bandwidth, and I never intended to use the GPS for anything so that didnt factor into my decision to buy the tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 06g35meister:
C2 here, no troubles.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] onebyside:
C1 here no probs
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McT1980:
Got a C2 aswell, had it couple of weeks. No issues really, wifi signal bar is lower than anything else in my house but the connection is just as good. Don't trust the bars, use wifi analyzer or something similar to check the connection. Also try to avoid using the same channel as other wifi's in the area if u're at home :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cernunnoz:
Got a C2, wifi range isn't great, but pretty equal to my GS2, I don't get much speed degredation though. I only lose a couple of mb/s, even at max range.

My gps is almost dead, gotten a few locks outside. Close to no screen bleed, everything else works great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] elcom:
got a c2. have had it for about two weeks. gps is good 12 sat within seconds. wifi is perfect.

havent tried bt yet, so cant comment. no light bleed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bwbishop:
My C2 gets better speed than my wife's iPad2. No complaints here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WhateverGetsTheJobDone:
C2 here in Anchorage Ak. Third Prime so far. in retrospect the first (a C1) was as good as a prime gets -

no light bleed, half the wifi range of my Atrix, and able to lock on to 4 sats from inside the house (before .15).

the second I got a week ago was a C1 and had terrible WiFi range, light bleed all along the right side, and no GPS. returned it last night for this C2 which is pretty much right between the two. Middling WiFi, minor light bleed, no GPS at all.

All three from Best Buy in Anchorage.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phat_11:
swapped my C1, with horrible keyboard, minor wifi issues, charger issues and almost no gps (didn't test the wifi+bt) for a C2. No light bleed, no charger issue, keyboard rocks, GPS is ok outside (the first time it took a long time for having any satellites but since then I get mostly 10 on a few secs, the accuracy is still horrible tough, the wifi signal is clearly better but degradation is speed happens beyond 15 feet (acceptable and on par to my nexus s to 30 feet but beyond that point Prime suffers horribly). Tested wifi+bt and noticed that the speed decreases when bt is used :s

Hoping that a software fix will give this unbelievable device all the thumbs up it deserves
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stinky73:
Have a C2 since 17/02 here in France. It came with a pressure washer and chamois leather :eek:

GPS works tho not tried in car as I use satnavs for that...

WiFi tested with WiFi analyzer against galaxy tab 10.1, sensation, desire HD, and tf101, performance within 1dBm of the best of each of them in every test location. ( Best is not always the same model in different locations.)

WiFi & BT no problems either.

When it arrived I updated to ics (.14) before any app installations, factory reset then used normally. Applied ota to .15 when it was offered.

This tab has never had a single reboot, force close, laggy transitions or any of the problems in all other threads, best tab I've seen yet ( have 2 i/o galaxy's, 1 tf101, 1 zoom)

BUT ( there is always a but....) the dock stopped recognising charger after 3 uses/ charges and always displays 0% charge even when there is charge in it...rma'd 2 days ago.... tracking showed 1HR4min turnaround in Czech depot so waiting to see what I get back.... Asus service in France was rude and totally inept... didn't even know the type of machine it was for two of their " techs", I had to tell them...

Sent from my transformer prime which is currently transformed into a small bowl of petunias
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayvus:
I got a C2 through an RMA with ASUS for my C1. The C2's screen worked, but the back light did not work. It was NEW in-box, still shrink wrapped.

[XPERIA X10 General] twowheeler:
Hi all,

Lots of people were complaining about facebook profile pictures not syncing with Contacts list on thgo's roms.

Well, seems i found a way around that problem.

I found this little program: Google Contact Sync

What it does: It asks you to login on both your facebook and gmail account, after that select update all. It will create a list of contacts with their corresponding facebook profile pictures. After that you select auto match and it will do it's magic.

When it's done you can check if it has worked by checking your gmail contacts.

Then on your phone: Contacts -> settings -> let it synchronize with gmail again.... -> problem solved :D .

I don't know the developer, but all the credits to him/her. Donation link is at the link given in this post.

Happy syncing everybody :p

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
Okay I have dorimanx kernel installed . When I select ondemand as my governer , playing high graphic games causes glitching and lag . However when using conservative governer , tye games are as smooth as butter but simply swiping to a different homescreen lats a hit since the CPU has to catch up. Acording to the time in state , both governers use the 1.6ghz frequencies . So I'm totally confused as to why the ondemand governer gives me lag in the game . I would prefer to use ondemand as I like the instant snappiness it has compared to conservative . Thanks guys !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rubledub:
i would think in terms of streaming media ... in that its loading in lumps then the processor slows and then hiccups when those Mhz are needed. where as conservative is giving one solid stream of cpu power.

i could be way off base too so i dunno. ;-D

cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
Thanks that sounds logical xP but after more experimenting with different kernels , i think its his kernel . he'll have a new one out soon now so im not too worried :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnahc79:
You could try to use RSDlite to flash the official 4.5.91 SBF, info in the 2.3.6 OTA thread and then apply the 141 OTA. There's still a chance that the update will fail though :(. Worst case you will have to use fruitcake 2.3.4/2.3.6. Info on that is also in the same thread. If you just want your phone to work with no hassle use fruitcake and don't apply the official OTA update.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alverik:
Thank you for the information it was very helpful.

I am pretty new on android and my experience has been on windows mobile phones mainly (flashing, unlocking and installing roms) and I can see know that my problem it’s that I tried to update my phone without removing the root access.

Now I have RDS lite 5.6 and I am trying to find the official 2.3.6 stock rom and because this is my first time flashing an Android phone, I am very nervous to tell you the truth and I don’t want to brick my phone. It’s there any tips you have to not screw up the whole thing.

I am following a guide found on atrix forums to use RDS lite to flahs my phone. [HOW TO] Use RSD Lite to Flash a SBF File - Motorola Atrix.

Thank you again,
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alverik:
I got it working again following the suggestions from Atrixforums.com. What I did was to flash my phone with RDS lite v5.6 using the file 1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011 and that fixed my phone and it’s been working normally.

Notes:

My phone was using the stock rom version 2.3.4

Rooted (I did not remove the root access before applying OTA 4.5.141 and this is reason why I got in this problem)

Locked bootloader (I am not sure if this method will work with an unlocked bootloader)

Unlocked sim card

Thank you,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyCr15:
How simple is it to allow my phone to view media streamed around my home network, when I'm out and about?

I know how to port forward and I use Serviio. Are there apps better suited to this than others? Can I just use EStrong File Explorer to browse to my home IP and port forward to the drive of my media server?

Any tips welcomed :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denis4o:
Have you tried iMediaShare from the Market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
Or Audiogalaxy, also from the market. Requires registration and an app to be installed on your PC, but easy to setup and works like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r|ktk|ng:
I use subsonic, works a dream and a doddle to setup. think there was a license fee (£13) and you can stream or download direct to the phone.

just my 2cents
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyCr15:
iMediaShare looks to be sending media from my phone to a TV, which I can do already with Skifta.

AudioGalaxy looks to be music only and it's actually more about video for me.

Subsonic says it does most video formats are supported, so I'll give that a go.

Many thanks everyone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denis4o:
iMediaShare starts a DLNA host/server so it can stream and play media (audio/video) from your media server (via Wi-Fi locally or via 3G). It can also stream youtube and all other listed sources to your DLNA enabled devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyCr15:
Well Subsonic didn't seem to be able to play my videos, so I'll try iMediaShare then, thanks.

**EDIT** I've just realised Skifta has a remote access, so I'll give that a go first, as I'm signed up with them already. :)
