Well, I have some time now so I might just as well write you an essay. :D

Hahaha! Had no idea about you being the big promotor of dalvik to /preload. I bought my S2 only 5 days ago so I missed that completely. Been hanging on the N1 threads till now. Well, coincidence or something I guess. Glad to be of service to you then.

As of dalvik and space; If you have a blank, newly installed system (no user apps) the dalvik takes round figures 100Mb. So I dont think the 500Mb limit is an issue at all unless you have 1000 of apps. Different apps upload different ammount of functions to dalvik, some none, some ten. Many apps use the system functions so sudden peek growth is unlikely.

As of the editing of init.rc:

Not really sure what you're grabbing at but my problem was that the init.rc was overwritten on each boot by some "default" from outer space.

Is that it?

In that case I got help from all the very nice and smart people here.

init.rc (as a lot of other stuff) is read from kernel ramdisk, I learned.

The boot.img is kernel+ramdisk, by the way.

I had to extract the initramfs from Spikes kernel, edit the init.rc, make a cpio of it and repack it all to a new boot.img/zImage.

I got this info in this thread, again from very smart people ;-) here

You need to dl "Sourcery G++ Lite 2011.03-42 for ARM EABI" or later to build back the kernel+ramdisk for the ARM processor.

If you are on linux that is... if you're on windows, well - only god can help you by now. :) hihi

All the instructions are in the link.

Well and let me know if there is something flaky with the mod.

PS.

HAHA. You said it would not work with CWM dalvik-wipe, and I believed you, but it does!!!

Obviously CWM mounts both (if not all) file systems and retains manners to soft links. Bonus to us.

DS.

[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Hah. ;) Good thing that you didn't believe me... But that's because other android devices work differently, so I was basing myself on that experience. When you flash a recovery, you have a kernel for recovery and a kernel for the phone, so the recovery kernel has to be modded. Samsung works differently and recovery is embedded into the main kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
Ha!

You obviously DO outsmart me by 1000. Why did you not tell me this earlier?

Did I point your question on the init.rc?

/Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
hahah, I've been around for a while... :\ I'm getting old and confused. So didn't really outsmart you. ;)

And yeah, it's fine... I'll try and get things going on GB and get back to you
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
Ok, sounds good , do that.

Good lyck.

So I saw the Prime Infinity announcement and this is utterly bs. Anyone who tells you that the Infinity is not going to replace the Prime is a joke. Name one reason you would get the Prime over the Infinity. I bet if it weren't for Prime users complaining they would've just discontinued the Prime and not the "Prime will be alongside with Infinity" crap.

So I am going to try to get a refund from Asus. Im way over the return period (Bought from BB in Canada). How should I go about getting a return? Should I just be the know it all and talk about their failed backplate and how they are going to "sell Infinity alongside with Prime". And say how that is causing my GPS to be non-existent and wifi to be weaker than my 3 year old phone. Or should I just act dumb and be like "how come the GPS doesn't work at all and you guys said there is GPS on the device. and how come wifi is weak?".

As I said, im in Canada.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anti09:
I'll tell you why I want the Prime over the Infinity - performance. The super hi-res screen sounds cool and all, but we can all recognize that it will translate into a very marginal increase in resolution quality. I doubt I'm the only one who can't discern individual pixels unless holding it next to my face, and the screen is of very high quality besides the resolution (great brightness and viewing angles).

In the Infinity, you've got the same GPU and a CPU clocked about 10% faster pumping out over 2x as many pixels. There's just no way Asus can maintain the buttery-smoothness we get on our primes with those specs. I'd take consistent 30+ fps to a marginal increase in resolution any day.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
I was speaking with Aaron from the special TF201 hotline for GPS/WIFI/BT. I have removed the phone number due to ASUS preference that TF201 owner use their product support line at 1-888-678-3688.

I called to arrange to a second RMA for a TF201 unit that he would personally check over for me. But he informed me that I should now wait because new parts are currently being manufactured that will "fix a lot of the problems with GPS/WIFI". He said they're expected to arrive in USA by the end of March. Aaron said the news came from Taiwan this morning.

All I can say is awesome! This is the hardware update we've been waiting for. Keep your fingers crossed that the engineers get it right this time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
This is good news for the ones who are stuck with their Primes.

For me, that's too much of a long wait. I'll probably just return my Prime and get the TF700T instead and forget about all the Prime nightmares.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
ASUS may not want this phone number posted publicly. The reason I gave it was for others TF201 owners to be able to call and confirm the new part story. Perhaps, if the phone number is removed, ASUS could make a public statement here in order to give credibility to the GPS/WIFI/BT fix.

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scook9:
Works for me :D

Now I do not have to figure out how to get a TF700T back for my prime. I don't the mind "lower" res screen I have now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
Exactly what I was thinking. And good for ASUS because they keep my money. :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
This is indeed interesting, because if they really can resolve the GPS/wifi/BT issues with some new parts, that'll mean that the Prime will definitely continue on as a product and the TF700 really will simply be a higher-end device. I'd probably go ahead and send mine in to get fixed, although I'm happy with mine as it is now.

Personally, I'm still torn between wanting the performance benefits of a 1280X800 screen vs. a 1920X1200 screen (that's 2.25 times the pixels when the TF700 will only have about a 10% increase in Tegra 3 clock speed) as compared to having better text for ebook reading. I'm thinking I'm happy with what I have now, but I have to admit to a nagging doubt. If the rest of the issues could be resolved, I think maybe the money I saved over the TF700 will make up the difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aypanthony:
Sounds like good news. But I don't trust the RMA ogres handling my TFP.

Not sure if I will send mine in when the fix is available, my Wifi works fine and my gps works outdoors(but not good indoors--but I don't care).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
Right. The TF201 then fits in the middle of the pack. Thanks for not abandoning us ASUS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lil-devil:
hopefully when the new parts are available, RMAing the prime will be quick and shipping paid by asus :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] killermojo:
I hope these changes make their way into new units soon. I have an extended warranty with the retailer that I could exercise instead
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quartercirclebak:
This is good news indeed, thanks for posting it. But yeah, as it's been mentioned, it might be best to remove the number. By the same token, it would also be nice if Asus could confirm that these fixes are coming. They may not want to do so publicly if they don't want to deal with a colossal flood of RMAs, though...

What would be the procedure for this? Because for the life of me, I cannot find my freaking receipt. I have the one for my dock.....am I screwed? I still have all the emails from best buy, order numbers, confirmation etc....but alas no receipt
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
They can probably base it off your serial # as to when they shipped it out. I know Acer does it if you dont have a receipt. Which in your case should still be well within 1 yr.

Order # should work too in most cases.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
You should be able to request a duplicate receipt from retailer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pvdwaal:
Wow, great news and really hope it's true.

I'm still waiting on replacement for my current prime, but I heard it could take another few weeks. With a possible fix in sight I can wait 2 extra months if needed :)

Will keep the prime, because it's perfect when wifi is fixed. GPS will be nice.

This resolution is good enough for common use and for ebooks I'm still going to buy a Sony eReader: too much reflection on the prime although IPS+ is indeed bright.

BTW this resolution is better (faster) for gaming than HD on Tegra3 (T700 does come with Snapdragon and tegra3 model right?)

So will this be covered if I unlocked my bootloader and stuff? Or can I do it myself?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
I dont agree why someone of his status having to resort to including the competitions same problem in his signature. Kinda unprofessional in my opinion. But instead of diverting attention and pointing out that Apple has a wifi problems too, he should focus more about his companies problems and finding a solution. Apple came out first, so if Asus did their research on current competitors, they should have seen this Apple's problem and avoided it.

To bad we cant cut the middle man and have an actual Asus engineer representing on an xda developer forum.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rmsingh:
Agreed! Char filler
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
the captioned pictures weren't the cause. it was the ones who was acting childish n didn't know how to talk properly on the forum. name calling, etc...all perfect grounds for thread closure. I know. I reported it ;) lots of people start reporting these threads when it gets out of line or crosses the line. that's why they get shut down. this will probably have the same fate. those people act immature. if you can't argue or debate a point without having to result in name calling, degrading, or things of similar nature, then you really have no point being part of discussion. it will almost 100% lead to thread closure and more actions taken if seen fit.

plus spare people the irony of Gary referencing an article showing Asus not the only ones with issues. because most of the complainers or Bashers always make reference to other manufacturers and such. They act as if this the first time anything like this has occurred or only device that had issue. Constant diagram comparisons, sales comparisons, etc..etc..

man if you believe all that "so called" free stuff then you must believe in the bogeyman also..lol.

yeah Asus sent me a PS3 and a plasma screen. along with Porshe Panamera :rolleyes: lol

Fair enough, now go and use the proper channels to achieve such, or is this an ASUS hotline?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] parker7:
my gps is dead and my blutooth audio lags by a second when watching a film that's on the tablet memory, let alone wifi. So bluetooth is useless, even when wifi is off.

I'm not buying another tablet asus tablet unless a software fixes comes or some other fix. I'm also going to bad mouth it everyone who mentions tablets. I always big up my GSII, as it works as it should. This tablet i'm tying on doesn't. So that gets the opposite treatment.

What i've noticed is the amount of fanboi's on here is almost as bad as the apple ones. For some unknown reason, people seem to take it personal when people raise issues. Like it's their company or something.

p.s the keyboard isnt that great either, you have bash the keyboard, otherwise letters miss. Also, the curser loves to switch to the top of the page. Thats annoying too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
nothing wrong with raising issues. its actually the right thing to do. where it crosses the line is when people want to generalize all devices as having the issue. where they assume all people suffer from problem they or some others have. or when they result to name calling n such n act like little kids. plus people tired of it. that's why the masses usually come in full force to say other wise. its no secret majority of prime owners here on xda doesn't have most major issues. the ones that do love to make it constantly known. it is like they say, Misery loves company. But the majority who come here looking for helpful info or tweaks or roms won't let the Debbie downers bring Prime forums down.

ever wonder why you don't hardly see any developers or long term members complain about issues? that should tell you something. we've seen this behavior no matter what device it is. every new section launch device goes through similar phase at first. so its to be expected.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rdalev:
Never resorted to name calling and never said everyone suffered the same exact issues as everyone else. The majority of people are willing to let Asus slide , concerning the GPS issue, I for one, am not and only posted above to state that I don't expect anything extra from Asus, i.e. ps3's, plasma screens or Porsche's !

Oh and have been using my "Energies" to pursue my "Target" , i.e. asus online, asus over phone and even Gary Keys...........3 times..........with no response.

And as apparently Asus employees view this forum, it might make a good place to express my feelings.........it is a public forum........right ?

Do you get it now ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
The difference is the bashers and the complainers are not a representative of Asus and a manager to add to it. He should hold himself to a level where he doesnt have to point at other companies at their flaws trying to make excuse for their flaws.

And I do believe it because a bunch of people on the other threads have been given complementary gifts for their troubles. You my friend have taken extraordinary leaps and bounds to defend your prime, its company, and its representative. I am just saying for all that you should have been given a thank you gift. You rarely see that in here even when you own a prime that doesnt everything performing up to standard that is written on the box when you bought it.

If Asus sent you an PS3 and a Porsche, its weird that neither of those are made by Asus. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
leaps n bounds..lol. not really. same Ol posting as always. not that serious. Prime is an excellent device for posting though with thumb keyboard ;)

as far as the free gift, I'm not looking for handouts or ways to take advantage of a situation. maybe I have received one, maybe I haven't. maybe there will be, maybe there won't. I might already own a Transformer Infinity pad aka TF-700. One thing though is I will never come up here bragging about, if i did or didn't..lol.

this thread needs to seriously get back on topic though before it gets shut down. agree?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
So, based on the autopsy thread and that squeezing affects wireless signal, what do you think the "fix" will be? Today, connecting the red pogo pins to the blue receiver pads seems to work on some Prime's so the design itself isn't totally bad or they all wouldn't work. The TF101 used a soldered connection while most other tablets use push tabs.

Here's some comments from TechRepublic on the build quality.

•Clean internal layout, but why all the yellow tape? The Transformer Prime’s internal hardware layout is clean and well-organized. Unfortunately, Asus also used a lot of yellow tape throughout the device. Practically every connector is covered with a piece. This makes me wonder about how well they would hold on their own.

•Quality control problems during assembly: Asus appears to have quality control problems with the device’s assembly. Our test unit’s battery and LCD each had two empty screw holes.

•Little metal shielding on motherboard: There is almost no metal shielding on the the motherboard. Perhaps the Prime’s aluminum case provides enough protection from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, but it’s still odd to see so little shielding.

Just stop. You've accumulated 3,000 posts since the end of Decemeber. That's 50 posts a day, all in this forum. 90% of them say the exact same thing. When is enough, enough?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I'd say go with what was proven to work for your company before. too many firsts with prime. Soldered connections worked for tf-101 so why not use it in prime. it'll be less susceptible to losing connection or shifting. if they were gonna be stuck on using the all metal backplate, then soldered connection could have made the reception even better or stronger. or at least make wireless reception between all devices more consistent. or even use a connection like you showed on the tab.

I'd say they going to go with soldered connection. do what worked before on OG transformer.

your other comment: not worth addressing coming from someone who doesn't even own device with just about the same post count....back on topic ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
I would feel better about a soldered connection for the WIFI and GPS. I know the POGO Pins make it easier for ASUS, and some of you crazy hackers/basement engineers (I love you guys!!!) to open the Prime. However, most of us will not open the prime.

I mean, if squeezing the Prime can help some get better WIFI and GPS signals, then there is obviously an issue with the POGO Pins. Make a hard, soldered, connection ASUS.

Also, I would love the new back the new models have. 7/8 of the back is still alluminum. I can hardly notice the plastic strip. Would not bother me a bit.

I would not even be against some type of trade in program, even if it costs a few bucks out of my pocket. We will find out by the summer, I am predicting, that the Prime will be quietly discontinued and replaced by the newer models. I wouldn't mind sending in my Prime, paying a few bucks, and getting the new model.

That way, ASUS can keep my money, I get a tablet that works as advertised, ASUS looks like they are trying to make their customers happy, and everyone wins.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
With the current design, for some Prime's to act flaky, the pogo pin itself is defective, there's contamination between it and the pad it connects to or it's out of alignment with the pad. The challenge for Asus is that the pins are attached to the main board which has a lot of chips including the SoC on it. Replacing that for existing Prime's would be none too cheap.

Since the pogo pins are right at the edge of the PCB, they could develop little c-clamps that fit over them leaving them in a compressed state. If the clamp has a wire coming off it, that could be pretty easily soldered to the pads. I guess it depends on there being enough room with the added depth created by the c-clamp.

Both Asus engineers mentioned "parts" which I'm taking to mean that there's something physical involved beyond just basic soldering.

I don't think a plastic cover would necessarily help at this point because the antennas are biased to the front of the device. It wouldn't solve the differences between Prime's anyway as that seems like a mechanical problem. It'll be fun to see what they come up with.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
Yeah, good point. Plastic isn't necessarily going to fix those that are having POGO Connection problems. Would a combination of a plastic strip and a soldered connection help? I am far from a tech engineer, heck, I teach 6th Grade Computers, but not how to work on them.

Actually, I think in some of the tear down threads that even with the unit open, it didn't necessarily help with the connection issues on some, at least with GPS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Whether adding plastic to the Prime would help or not depends on what Asus' engineers did with the antennas. When I say "biased" to the front of the display I'm assuming they knew trying to get RF signals through metal wasn't going to go anywhere. If that's the case, their focus was probably getting the strongest signal they could facing forward. Adding plastic would help if the antennas they used, the way they've been mounted, and anything between them and the back cover allows them to pick up additional signal.

P.S. - I'm not an engineer either. Anything I've picked up is from working with them. And you’re a much stronger person than I am if you’re teaching sixth graders. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I'm not a tech guy but i dont think they would have changed the wifi antenna system if there wasnt a problem with the way it was on the TF101.

The new pogo pin antenna system is working pretty well for most users.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
true but the fact behind squeezing the area where antennaes are at leads to inconsistencies between devices. its more likely to not be assembled properly or pogo pin contacts not having a flush connection with the foil pad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I'm assuming marketers and not engineers are the ones that picked the all metal back cover. None of the engineers I've worked with would ever vote for form over function. The TF101 and other tablets are biased toward receiving their signals through their plastic backs. I'm guessing the move to a new mounting method is directly tied to the challenges of using the front of the tablet as the primary and perhaps sole signal source.

Here's the Zoom. Like the G-Tab, it's antennas are as far up and out toward the edge of the device as possible. It's seems to be general practice looking at other tablet tead downs. They're soldered like the TF101.
