[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I agree. Kindle fire is a joke, IMO. But its selling like crazy though. I think that new 7in. From Asus, if marketed and advertised right, can easily take tthat market. For only $49 more you get a tablet that runs real android OS. Not some b.s. customized version aimed St Amazon only services. Plus specs will be killer on Asus tablet compared to kindle fire. Even the new nook tablet is better than kindle fire. We need more higher priced tablets to sell though. Like around Ipad price range or so to really make a statement. I think memo model will sell more than new 300 model. If price range alone will dictate what sells the most, then Memo has it. You get the best bang for buck for what memo costs. Same goes for prime. Prime is a sweet spot. Can't lie though, new 300 is nice and I'm loving that white, blue, and red colors. Although plastic, it looks very appealing. But I won't get rid of prime to downgrade to a 300. If Asus were to offer an exchange program for early prime owners to return device and pay only $100 for new model tf-700, I'd seriously consider it. Because it wouldn't be like me still having the prime and having to shell out a fresh $599 for a new tablet. It would mean I got to enjoy my device all this time and only have to pay $100 for an new tablet that's a "supposed" upgrade in some categories. I don't know though, I do like my prime alot. ;) I'm more anxious to hear about Tegra4 devices coming or announced fall-Christmas time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
It has disappeared. Best Buy hasn't had them in weeks and only does OMS orders. I have never seen a Prime on a store shelf. The only place that seems to get them are Gamestop. I'm telling you the Prime is done. I bet production is stopped within 2 months and the Prime is swept under the rug.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
See what you can learn

Indeed, it would be a good candidate for swap, if Asus decided to go that route. Wouldn't they be able to just use the Primes bezel, with that back, or some similar combination? Any way you slice it there would need to be SOME modifications, so Asus would have to be convinced that there was enough of a "demand" for it. Personally? for better WiFi/BT and a possible GPS fix, I would definitely deal with less than 1" of Dark Gray, nicely patterned plastic across the top. Anyone else think it's worth the slight aesthetic downgrade / technical upgrade?

see what you can find out, and please try to convince you "Unnamed Contact" that the would be a wonderful "good will" effort on Asus part to overcome a lot of the bad feelings that happened over the last couple of months. If I had that cover, along with My Samsung Note I am getting for phone use, I will be in device heaven! I really like the PadPhone, but with a Prime, its kind of redundant.

the galaxy tab 10.1 does not use a super amoled display, this does not support your point
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
You said that 2 months ago..lol how many more will pass n same thing said? ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Sort of. It's a little more detailed then the first shots of the TF700 but it looks more "brushed" than "spun" like the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
If I had a choice, I'll take Transformer Pad 300 "plastic" cover instead... especially the white one. I really like how they look.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Instead of saying anything, I'll ask a question. Based on:

1) Asus wants to sell a million Prime's and the chart I posted shows 2/3 are purchased B&M.

2) It's been two months since the Prime went on sale and ramp-up to full production takes no more than 45 days and usually less.

3) A previously posted article talked about a 30% drop in demand for tablets for Q1 2012 over Q4 2011.

Where do you think all the Prime's are?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
I think I read here that the reason they are putting a different CPU in the 4G tablets is because the LTE 4G chip requires more processing power. So it looks like that 4G Transformer Pad will have the same specs as the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE .

It may be dual core and not quad core like the Prime but I think the higher clock speed of 1.5 GHz is a better trade-off. The Prime's quad cores are 1.2 GHz and there's no telling what applications are even utilizing more than two cores.

I wouldn't say the 4G Transformer Pad is weaker, it's just a different beast.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
Yeah it is very strange. What is even crazier is look up Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Dallas, and my hometown of Indianapolis.. None of the BestBuys in those cities have the Prime and haven't for weeks. This thing has been out 4 months and cannot be found. Some people say you can still make OMS orders or whatever at Best Buy but John Doe would know nothing of this. They arent on Amazon either and they are the largest online retailer. Makes no sense. There has to be a reason and I think Asus isnt even trying to produce the Prime. They are focusing on their new tablets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
It'll be the fastest of the three and have the best graphics based on the increased memory b/w of DDR3.

"The primary benefit of DDR3 SDRAM over its immediate predecessor, DDR2 SDRAM, is its ability to transfer data at twice the rate (eight times the speed of its internal memory arrays), enabling higher bandwidth or peak data rates. With two transfers per cycle of a quadrupled clock, a 64-bit wide DDR3 module may achieve a transfer rate of up to 64 times the memory clock speed in megabytes per second (MB/s). With data being transferred 64 bits at a time per memory module, DDR3 SDRAM gives a transfer rate of (memory clock rate) × 4 (for bus clock multiplier) × 2 (for data rate) × 64 (number of bits transferred) / 8 (number of bits/byte). Thus with a memory clock frequency of 100 MHz, DDR3 SDRAM gives a maximum transfer rate of 6400 MB/s. In addition, the DDR3 standard permits chip capacities of up to 8 gigabytes."

Sometimes being in Bumfuck pays off. Typically they get allotted inventory of hot selling items but in less quantity than the big cities. But no one here has a clue what a hot item looks like or cares. I can't tell you the number of times I've gotten stuff here and FedEx'd it to friends in big cities where it was impossible to find. The downside is I feel like Tobey Maguire in Pleasantville touching people and turning them in to “color” all the time.

This sub-forum reeks of Unrequited Buyer's Remorse!

I can't believe how far some of you will go to blatantly defy logic, truth and reason, to justify your problematic product...which is on the verge of being replaced.

Please anwser this. Do you honestly think Asus is going to continue to manfacture TF201's with poor wifi and BT problems after they release the new line of tablets with plastic backs that address the TF201's problems?​

Lol, I can't even say how much very usable equipment I've gotten over the years both from customers and work. People don't know about things and just hand them over haha

I got my first iPod by fixing a buddy's, he never even used it just laughed that I fixed it and said keep it.

I also never have to pay for just about any length of CAT5 :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Prime has not been out for 4 months. First units popped in peoples hands week of Dec. 20th. Mines purchased Dec. 22. With no issues. So how does late December /basically early January till now equates to 4 months. BARELY OVER 2 MONTHS OLD...lmfao people funny.

Skygunner, you're seen as trolling now. You don't even own a prime. You own a gaming toy. Yet you love to hang around prime forum n sob that same story. Why is that? Lmfao. People not listening. Asus already officially stated they not discontinuing Prime. Its still selling well and sells out fast online. Plus best buy n other places in D.C. and DMV area has prime in stock at brick n mortar places.

Only defy in logic is assuming a good selling device with less than 1% defective/return rate will be discontinued. All this conspiracy theory crap has no basis with facts. Facts are what an official source states. And the facts from Cket and Asus stand at Prime having less than 1% failure/return rate. Fact stands that about 80% of xda prime owners like their device and keeping it. Landslide victory. So sing the discontinued story to someone who actually cares. Cause its obvious most prime owners don't care. Too bad for your situation but you won't go spreading madness through our forums. Go to the PlayStation forum n sing that sad song..lmfao you ever wonder why you get flamed so much? Why all haters usually get flamed so much by majority of prime owners? This should tell y'all something. PRIME is rolling, Developement rolling, and nothing is going to stop this train until its natural time span is up. Which will be a very long time for now.

I'm done with all this silliness. Action already been taken to address those with no relevance or real relation to prime forum. One thing is for sure, we won't let you bring down our section with craziness or obsession. Obsession meaning not owning device or returned yet still troll prime forums and added nothing helpful to community but continue to spread negativity throughout the threads. I'm sure IronFist or someone will address Asap. Plenty of proof for them to see.

It'll be different if they were trying to help or something. But nothing being said by them is helping anyone. Only trying to spread negative pessimistic views to try to discourage others from this forum or Prime purchase. PRIME forum will be thoroughly cleansed soon enough of its impurities see ya...wouldn't wanna be ya ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Actually, it supports a different point, which is that Samsung blows out colors on all of their devices no matter the screen technology. It's just that Super AMOLED makes the blown out colors even more pronounced.

My wife's Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a great screen, but the colors really are unnatural. It's also quite cold, another Samsung trait. White's are way too blue, just like they are on my Epic 4G Touch. I much prefer the warmer Prime screen (as long as it's not too yellow, as some Prime screens are) to any of my Samsung devices.

But, some people like the really saturated colors and cold temps, so it's all good...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rdalev:
Wonder how many sales Asus would have lost if they had included a 1" strip of plastic that amazingly looked like brushed aluminum on the back of the Prime ?

My guess is 0 and a lot less unhappy owners !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
That's from Gary Key and Asus only. We have no idea what the return/exchange/refund rate is from retailers. I won't dispute Gary Key's #.. but it also doesn't give the whole picture either.

Honestly, what's the point of disputing if Prime will be discontinued or not at this point? If the sale #s are poor, it'll get discontinued.. but at this point.. they're all just projections (hypothesis).

Now, if you own a prime.. you really need to wonder just how much Asus will support Transformer Prime. Logic simply dictates that companies will support the latest launch products & the most popular/sold products.... Just where will Prime be in the support pecking order (if any are provided by Asus) once Pad 300/Infinity/7in. Tablet are launched. Or will you be satisfied & rely on xda dev support?

You're in Arlington, VA, right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
He is partially right...

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0380195

Honestly, I don't know about West Coast but even in Boston... few stores do have Prime in stock. If you're looking for Prime, you'll have better luck in East Coast (well.. North East).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CycleGeek:
Actually... putting together some of the other suggestions that Tegra 3 yield might be lower than expected, could one be lead to believe that TF201 production is being shut down and Asus' existing allotment of Tegra 3 chips is being diverted to the 700 and 300 lines?

I've also skimmed through demandarin's (fairly exhaustive and quixotic) defense of the TF201 and have not noticed him addressing the value question - if Apple produces a $499 device with at least the screen resolution of the TF700, what argument do they have for selling $499 1280 x 800 tablets? Not much IMO. By March 6th once Apple introduced the iPad 3, there should be absolutely no reason for a neutral customer to buy the 201. Better for Asus to bracket them at the top and bottom, it seems.

I'd also argue that considering the imminent iPad 3 announcement that Asus has got to be preparing to manufacture 700 and 300 units in large quantities earlier than we'd expect, because if they only have the tainted TF201 and last year's TF101, they're simply not going to sell anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
If you think about it, there's absolutely no reason for sales to be poor. If a 32GB Prime with Teg3, ICS, IPS+, and a dock was sitting next to an eight month old 16GB G-Tab in a store and was $50 less, who wouldn't buy it? And based on the earlier chart, 1/3 of the people buying tablets do no online research so they'd be clueless as to any issues. Until everyone else get next-gen tablets out the Prime should be helping Asus gain market share.

Based on the autopsy thread, the Prime's current antenna routing and connection is prone to failure during and after assembly. There have been multiple posts from people e-mailing Asus engineers discussing "a h/w fix." If it's simplifying the Prime's antenna structure and future Prime's all perform to the same standard Asus could continue to sell it; even if it's for a couple of months until the others come out. GPS isn't an important feature to a lot of people and the Prime's a great value and the best performing Android tablet on the market right now.

Asus' tablet strategy for 2012 is kind of funky and ever changing so it's too difficult for any of us to armchair quarterback. But, remember this, everything they (or any manufacturer) say is true at the time it's said. But actions speak much louder than words and we're still quite a few months away from "action."

Great post. It looks like Samsung's doing the same thing by offering "value" products (G-Tab 2 7" & 10.1") and shooting high with the SAMOLED 7.7" and Exynos 5250 chipped 11.6". Having high-end halo products for "show" and value-based products for "volume" makes a lot of sense.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Clarification on hardware fix as i found out about it. All the supposed "hardware fix" involves:

1)sending unit in for RMA

2)the service people opening up the prime and checking antennae connections. Making sure they are attached properly and tuned correctly according to factory spec. Also checking the antennae foil contact to make sure it hasn't shifted and therefore causing reception issue.

3)if any of those issues are found. The service people will address it and fix it on the spot and put it back to satisfactory factory spec of how it should be. All the needed tools for all service centers to test, assess, and fix device are being sent. This is why you might hear CS people say in about 2 weeks there will be a hardware fix.

So there is no redesigning or simplifying of antennae design in the prime. Its more so actually checking and inspecting the connections and such to make sure its up to factory spec. Once it is, its "fixed".

I always make sure to ask the right questions, at the right times, to the right people ;)

Ill at least throw a bone out there to for you..lol :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
I don't think you need to convince me of the "flaws" of Transformer Prime. Nor what the projection/forecast of Prime's possible & eventual "fate"...

However, I still don't see the point of arguing or debating whether Prime will get discontinued at this time. If the sale #s are poor, Asus will simply discontinue it. If they do solve the WIFI/GPS issues.. who knows, perhaps it'll live on. But we're still a few month.. weeks... batches away of that actually happening as you have noted. In the end.. we're all projecting.. & forecasting the future (no matter how logical it is...)

To those who are happy with Prime.. let them enjoy it. I don't see the point of "hammering" the doomsday scenario constantly to those who are currently happy with Prime.

Btw, I'm not sure how much people care about Huawei but their tablet look awfully a lot like TF700 (infinity.. or whatever it is called now).. but much slicker & appealing to the eye.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Better hurry. The Washington Metro area MSA is 8.5MM people. That's a lot of people for three Prime's. ;)

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

You both took my post the opposite of how I meant it. It was meant to be hopeful. The Prime's a device with huge potential that seems to be suffering from design and/or production issues. This is the post I was referring to about the antennas. If they implement what's said than the production problems go away and so does the variance between devices. Holding up production until it can be implemented is as sound a guess as "death and destruction" as you implied. Regardless, no manufacturer can continue to produce a mass-market device that behaves so differently from sample to sample. Production costs are too high based on rejects and the return/RMA rate will kill them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skygunner27:
How did you know I was addressing you lol. I guess if the shoe fits huh?

The ONLY troll here is you my friend.;)

I and most XDA members don't even read most of your posts anymore. You can't even let a negative post be said about the Prime without getting your panties in a bunch. In almost every topic you engage in, other members call you out as the troll you are. Don't you see that dude? Chill out. Take a deep breath, go kiss your wifey(I highly doubt you have one with how much time you spend on this forum, and if you do I doubt she'll be with you for long if she has any common sense), walk the dog and go get some for once.;)

Yes I have a Vita....and? Deal with it. I and many others watch this thread with great interest because we are in the market for a tablet that works after returning out defective Prime.

When do you get to actually enjoy your Prime with all of the trollin you do in these threads?​
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Btw, what are your thoughts on Galaxy Note 10.1 tab? I'm actually disappointed by Samsung's lack of "creative" design...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
It's an interesting device. My guess is that its real intended purpose is for commercial use and they're selling it B2C to pick up some additional volume. Think how fantastic it would be for the medical profession with allowing penned notes to be digitized and attached to patient files. Same thing for logistics.

If they sell a 3G version in the UK and it's out in the next six to eight weeks I'll probably get one. Being able to handwrite notes in meetings is a big benefit for me and it has a 1.4GHz Exynos chip vs. the slug Teg2 in the original. If it's released in May it probably makes more sense to wait for the 11.6 which I'd guess to be June/July.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Transformer Pad.... hmmm that name is going to take awhile to sync in for me. :rolleyes:

Nevertheless, I will probably grab a Tf700 in June. HD screen looks nice.

Plus, with the thin plastic strip across the top it shouldn't suffer from any of the WIFI / GPS problems the current prime has.

Kids toy.. iPad 3. Rumor is it is going to be announced March 7th.

TF700 & iPad 3. Can't wait!:D

yea, it's an interesting device... but Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Tab N(germany version), and Galaxy Note 10.1 all use same design.. =/

But yea, I agree.. I was actually looking forward to this tab (return the galaxy tab 10.1 back to costco for full refund) for the same reason as you... but, due to the device looking more or less like the current Galaxy tab, I'll probably wait for Samsung's 11 in. Tablet..

[HTC Wildfire S] inconn:
Hey guys, so I've managed to unlock the bootloader AND root my Wildfire S. I don't know what other steps I need to take to ensure that I can use another SIM card in it.

It still says that the Sim card is locked after unlocking the bootloader and rooting (I know that rooting is in no way connected to unlocking the SIM).

I tried purchasing an unlock code form eBay but the code didn't work.

What are my options now?

Will creating a Gold card and following these instructions do the trick? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22208351&postcount=8

Also, if I flash the stock ROM, will I lose Croatian keyboard that is in the phone currently?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
sim lock can only be removed by xtc clip or htc itself.

no goldcard or unlocked bootloader will help you.

If you flash the stock rom that corresponds to your device you will not lose the keyboard.
[HTC Wildfire S] inconn:
So flashing a stock rom wont help with the sim unlock?
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
No. The Sim-Lock information is stored in the phones radio firmware which can not be changed yet without an xtc clip. So Sim-Lock is independent from the operating system.
[HTC Wildfire S] inconn:
Ok, thanks for the info.

I still don't understand why are all these sites and ebay sellers selling unlock codes if the unlocking is only possible trough XTC clip.

The guy that sold me that faulty code said that they work in 99% cases, and refunded me without a question.

I don't really see how that could be a viable business if it doesn't work :-/
