thanks Gary for the updates. still waiting to hear back from a few messages I sent. I know you are swamped with messages. but thanks for starting this new thread and clearing up a majority of the rumours floating around. also for indirectly calling out the users who are trying to take advantage of a situation. I see them here on online and catch them in their lies. they always changing up their stories and brag about unneccessary details or claims. funny to see one or 2 of those people, take advantage of situation, posting in this thread...now that is classic.

I'm glad you cleared up the fix rumour. which always made sense and sounded very plausible.

Anxious to here what's this new exciting news you speak of concerning the Tf-201. I have some good hunches on what it might be but it'll be best to let you convey that instead of starting up new rumors n speculations.

looking forward to new .16 update. I figured we would be getting one soon.

Also, many people here on this forum think with you being Technical Marketing Manager, you are just here to do damage control and tell users anything, including lies or misleading info. I personally, and probably alot more users also, never got that impression from you or have seen evidence of that actually occurring. I for one am glad you came to help out on the forums. Regardless if it was voluntary or if after the the issues started popping up. it doesn't matter. what does matter is that Asus is showing that they are trying Tonto the extra mile and work with users on the issues. I know its not possible to help everyone else at once. that's why some may feel like you haven't addressed them fast enough. Sorting these issues out takes time. plus add in all the false reports, misleading info, and people trying to take advantage of situation and all that only delays things even more so.

I have never seen this kind of involvement from a device manufacturer before and its appreciated. it shows alot about how Asus cares about customer satisfaction and will try to uphold that value.

this new thread by you was needed. glad to see it finally surface. hopefully will make the trolls go away now that they know we on to their tactics...lmfao. As most of us should know who example 2a. is speaking of.. I never really believed him anyways. he got caught up in lies and still lying. lol if he smart he should just quietly vanish into the night. I love it, people getting put on blast. finally exposed!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] edster00:
I just re-read Gary's OP of 03/08 in this thread, he stated he would have news on the TF201 in approx. 2 weeks, so the news should (hopefully) be coming sooner rather than later...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikeypopps:
Someone mentioned in the other post that taking off javascript and putting plugins on demand helps. No lies it does its like night and day. Im not sure if its Asus, Nvidia, or Android but the problem is somewhere in there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FunkyMcBain:
It's Flash man, putting plugins to on demand stops flash content from loading, and flash is garbage

No they're trying to make it go faster just like you said you were going to do the exact same thing ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] edster00:
How does this relate to this thread?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikeypopps:
Well i was dealing with a lot of hang ups and force closes and stalling (especially in the browsers(ics,chrome, and browser+) that would only resolve after rebooting. This was happening every 15 minutes. Similar problem to what others were dealing with. To be honest it was really ruining my user experience and i was on the verge of doing a back to factory settings. I erased all my movies and un used apps and it still wasnt working. Got rid of hubs it still wasnt working. Then i changed the browser settings and low and behold all my problems went away. Mind you i gave it a week in between each change. I turned it back on to check and the force closes and freezes crept back up. I still get a android launcher process force close on boot and once in a blue moon. But the rest of my issues are gone so i thought id share.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slef2003:
It would be useful if you posted what changes you made to your browser settings;)

So... Would it be safe(r) to assume the c3 serials are going to actually work? At least less randomly...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MNDaveC:
I was playing with the ipad 3, and guess what, there are no apps for ios like wifi analyzer totest the signal strength. Apple rejects those apps from the appstore. You can only get them when jailbroken at some other app source. How do you like them apples?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryun33:
Don't get me wrong I dislike "apple" (Im a PC/Android guy) but they do have apps to test with...

Just a couple to note:

Oooh, .19 ICS update soon and MAJOR announcement on TF201 in near future.....I'm getting giddy...:>) Thanks for the update Gary, looking forward to the next couple of days or weeks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bagatov:
From Asus' Swedish facebook site:

V19.

New Features:

+ Press-able notification in Lock screen

+ User can able to check reminder or notification of unread email under screen locked.

+ Upgrade Vibe from v1.0 to v2.0 with corresponding MyLibrary and MyCloud versions - Vibe2.0 improves UI and provides more media contents

+ Keep use’s choice of browser viewing type (Tablet or Desktop website viewing type)

+ Enable power profile (Battery information setting)

+ New display mode of HDMI output - Scale mode(Default) and Crop mode (Detail comparison in next two sides.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moist:
Is it just me or is this not very big? I didn't really care about viewing notifications when the screen was locked :| I was hoping for a lot more features as the device is still new and ics is new... They could have at least put overskreen in... Most of the work has been done already...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bagatov:
I agree, but hopefully there is more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vittogn:
Nothing bad in adding new features.....but I'd prefer to have all sw bugs fixed (screen flickering, reboots, Browser performances, wifi, wifi/bt fallout) before getting into new......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
2. We will have a major ICS update (.19) arriving shortly.

<3

btw these changelogs only talk about new features and not about bugfixes. I'm pretty sure though they did some fixes as well ;) lets wait and see before we jump to conclusions!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
I am not good at FB, (never used it, never will) but I have a test profile...

How do I see this FB side about the Prime? Any link please..? :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
thanks for posting this

what for? overskreen is an app you can download from marketplace and works great on the prime. already a mature thread on it in themes and apps section. another good one is stickit media player. its a floating resize able media player like overskreen. also AirCalc. that company puts out some very useful n great apps.

those are just new features added. I can almost guarantee there will be major bug fixes also. especially considering how they jumped over 4 versions to update us to .19. we are on .15 now. so this is a major upgrade. especially bringing back ad hoc support.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moist:
OverSkreen is not on the marketplace yet. OverBrowser is on the market place, they're both very different. I also don't wanna download 3 different apps, call me fussy, but I just want 1. I read these forums every day, so pointing me in the direction of them isn't very helpful. I wouldn't have mentioned OverSkreen if I didn't alreaey read about it...

Edit: I mean on-screen by cornerstone
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I think that poster got it confused or misspelled it. he probably talking about On-screen by Cornerstone. that multitasking process. I just went by what he typed, OverSkreen, which is a PC like browser that can float anywhere on the screen and be resized on top of anything you doing. I love it.

Open letter

I have been watching this forum for months, and haven't made any comments. But, today I feel it's time. When I sent a PM to Mr. Key in regards to Prime issues, he immediately put me in contact with Mr. Trat, who setup an RMA. Unit came back in about 2 weeks, replaced parts. Noticed better wifi signal strength. GPS would pick up about 8/9 sats inside house. When the Dongle issue showing shipped and really wasn't I again contacted the main people and yesterday I received my Dongle 2nd day air. Connected last night about 11 sats and signal strength was stronger and one sat showned in the green zone.

I really dislike the IPad, My wife owns one and I can't stand it and won't buy one. Bottom line I believe the Prime will always have issues, but, I am impressed with their updates and feel its the best Tablet out there right now, and ASUS response to problems when you get the right people, is better than many companies I deal with. Both Mr. Key and Mr. Trat should be commended. Thank you for all your help
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
No its not Google with problems. Or how come other manufacturers dont have "Browser has stopped"-problems? My Huawei Ideos X5 with custom 4.0.4 never does that. And Googles own phones work quite well. It is more like a driver implementation problem.

And what is a costume rom? :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] randalltroy:
I have been following this thread also, it's been the most reliable source of information i could find anywhere.

That being said,

My prime is doing fairly well on the current firmware, but not perfect.I think that Nvidia/Google doesn't quite have the drivers/software up to par yet , and haven't got everything quite optimzed yet,tegra3 being very new This whole thing has the feel of a new chipset and platform growing pains, very similar to my migration to the X79 chipset, and painfully close AMD's constant gpu driver/crossfire issues:eek:

Those problems dont have anything to do with Asus.Google and Nvidia have to get this sorted out
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
I've personally tried contacting Gary about the issues our two Primes suffer to get some feedback/help/support/update/anything and never received any reply from Gary or Asus. I certainly wouldn't call Asus a particularly helpful company from my own experiences with them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Demandarin. Sent you a PM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheWerewolf:
I'm glad you had such a good experience - BUT - let's quickly review some facts..

To get that good service, you had to contact a publically visible rep who then put you onto an internal rep inside the company's RMA department and together, they got you the service you needed...

That's *not* how customer support is supposed to work.

For one thing, not every Prime owner has access to - or is even aware of XDA and Mr. Key. Even here - getting a response or help from Mr. Key or anyone else has been spotty. Some, like you, are lucky - others have seen no responses.

I'm sorry, comparing a single case here to all other cases in other companies is a false comparison. You have to look at the stats and so far, it seems to me that most people who have had problems with their Primes have had a mediocre to bad experience with Asus' support.

I'm also going to challenge the idea that this is a small problem. We know from Asus' own numbers that as high as 17% of all Prime users have serious GPS problems. We also know that a lot of Prime owners either aren't using their GPSes (based on comments here and elsewhere) or aren't reporting the problem. More than that ARE reporting significant WiFi or BT problems.

We also have the actual timeline of events that indicate that Asus may have shipped the BCOKAS series knowing there was a problem, then tried to patch the problem - then simply removed the feature from the list rather than fixing it - then finally, when the GPS problem reports in tech blogs had become pretty widespread, announced the GPS dongle - which is nice, but doesn't work with the dock or origami cover. All of this shouts that Asus has some serious issues in design and QA.

Most people who have RMA'd their Primes have experienced long delays of up to a month and a half. I'm sure some have gotten theirs sooner, but you don't determine the quality of service by the very best OR the very worst, but by the median and so far, that's not that great.

I like my Prime too - but I don't like the growing list of problems I'm having with it. And there are other choices between the Prime and the iPad, so that's not really relevent. Personally, I'm seriously considering jumping to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 when it comes out... and never touching an Asus product again.

So, yes, thank you Mr. Key and Mr. Trat for helping where you can - but sorry, Asus really needs to get their production, QA and repair support game together.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
like the moderator came in here before and said, this is not a complaint thread. Only an update thread for Asus. complaints can go in complaint threads as complaints adds nothing to this thread. complaining is fine, but needs to go in proper thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Back on topic: The Power User Group has Officially begun testing .25 firmware. It addresses Gaming & Browser issues....among other things. Alot of thread priority changes in this software we are testing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
That's great news, can't wait for the release!:cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
So I warned you guys once and now I had to delete 10+ posts...

See this as my last warning: Stay on topic and don't troll or flame other members.

Next time I'll hand out infractions!

(And, no this is NOT the removal of an opinion against Tegra 3, if you post in the right thread then your posts won't be deleted.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
hey! good news! but let me act like a broken vynil - like i do in the last days :D - can you drop some info on which android version it is?

i so hope this firmware will be good. i have the One X also, and that just seems to be so much more stable. so all i wish for my Prime is is a good ROM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vittogn:
Can you disclose ICS and kernel version?

Tx.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] captsakis:
i am in greece,how i can receive the dongle ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
That's great. I'm glad they are addressing this because I can't get Demolition Inc. to play anymore. Screen just freezes up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
A restart of the device should temp fix this issue. I suggest the app (requires root):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5saXZlb3YucmVib290ZXIiXQ..

just put a widget with a reboot button on the screen and use it whenever you run into game freeze problems. Its annoying but the update should arrive shortly and hopefully fix things up :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
does the other commands work on it also? like fast shutdown, etc...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anatmavada:
What happened to the .24 update, I still stuck on the .21 and now the testing group is on .25?

My actual .21 kill my battery and my TF101 is always very hot because of WakeLock.

Any timeframe for updates (days/weeks).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
really anytime now or this week. group still testing it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Yeah all functions work for fine for me. Haven't tested all though :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbelcomp:
In case you didn't realize, this thread is talking about TF201 update, not the TF101 update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
Can't wait :-) Hope it's all going smooth!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LNJ:
Looking forward to the latest update. Hopefully it fixes the micro lags.

Currently on Gummy Rom 1.2 and so far it's way smoother than the other custom roms.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I don't think your issue is .21 related. I was also having drain issue in particular with WiFi. Are you running any tweaks? I deleted atp tweak and some other I forgot and also got rid of all browser cept stock and my drain issue went away.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Those beta testing is Demolition working for you guys.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyiam40:
Aznmode - Demolition didnt work for me until latest update. After latest update I had problems until i rebooted. Now, it works great
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brainimpact:
just give us a working NVFlash then i would not give a shat if ASUS never release another update again. just open the door to safer experimentation so then we can fix our own problems and build better roms with more confidence
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Thanks. Rebooting didnt do it for me but what did was I bypassed the intro to the 1st level by tapping on the screen before it got to the point where it crashes. After that it loaded fine and was able to play the first 4 levels. Went back to level 1 just to check and it didnt crash on me anymore.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
Rebooting might have done it for me but I also switched out the build.prop with the mod that demandarin brought to us. Demolition Inc. is working for me now but just 30 minutes of play for the test.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
it was the build.prop ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
"If you buildprop it they will come"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
Any news about the update? How is the testing going?

My girlfriend told me that the Prime rebooted twice during a 2 hour train trip when she was watching videos.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Severion:
Epic

Wow the new firmware is great!

its so smooth now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pandages:
who what? I didn't hear about a release. Just checked for updates, and I'm not seeing anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
he's either a beta tester, or someone who just found out there's .21... sometimes people happy for that :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
Severion was already on .21 a while back so must be talking about something newer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
then he must be a beta tester. anyway, i too heard that the beta runs really smooth. hopefully will be released soon to every one of us! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Are you a tester, or did you just feel like messing with people today? :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Severion:
Giving people some bloody hope :)

and messing :D

I wish someone else sayd something about the update releasing im waiting to long :$

Haters gonna hate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
lucky you're not living in my neighbourhood :D :D :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fonduekid:
You actually made me check the software update on my prime.. :mad:

Good for you, you aren't anywhere near me :D :p :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mopar400:
No news, no comments??

The beta is either running great or reallllllllllly bad. :eek:

anyone running the beta stuff, your killing us

spill the beans good bad or what???? :cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
I've heard something like it's good. But not more than that, and I don't know any details on the release. Not much, but a bit of hope.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] StuMcBill:
Looks like the TF101 got an update today, includes Face Unlock! (v9.2.1.24)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Testers are not allowed to leak any info on any betas, it will be released soon though. :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mopar400:
Thats what I thought

A Asus gag order :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
lol!! Soon soon very soon ;)

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...rings-face-unlock-and-stability-enhancements/

Improves system stability

Improves Email App stability

Improves MyNet stability

Improves MyLibrary stability

Add System Bar Lock: Lock the system bar when playing games

Add Email App new feature: Email download size/Thread/Out of office notification/Mail Sync schedule

Hope that is included for Transformer Prime as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
System bar lock is present in the current rom. The others look sweet tough. But I want stability and great browsing! That's the most important!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mopar400:
I switched to Dolphin Browser HD

solved all my problems
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
I used that too, but I just don't like it. I can't put my finger on it exactly, I just seem to dislike the UI, or something like that. Plus the bookmarks in stock browser just sync perfectly for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Seraphic:
To be honest an update can't come soon enough. I've only recently bought my Prime and I'm starting to become frustrated at the random reboots. £500 to beta test a product isn't my idea of lasting entertainment.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
I have pretty bad situation too, I bought TP as a birthday gift for my girlfriend instead of Zenbook. Now she told me that the Prime rebooted itself twice when watching a video. Everytime she hits pause and tries to continue it reboots.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shreddintyres:
for those of you that are experiencing random reboots, which programs are you using to watch videos? ive been using MX player and (knock on wood) have yet to experience any random reboots, perchance are y'all using the stock videoplayer?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
mVideoPlayer and Youtube.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Are you guys running completely stock or with other tweaks running? Just curious.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ill1:
I know for me so far i have reboots when I watch videos also. I use bs player mostly. I've had reboots with and without tweeks. the only time so far without reboots was on HC I went 9 days with only one reboot. Currently I'm on update. 14, I decided to try all of the ICS updates to see if one works well with my machine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MXR2:
not sure if anyone encounters this, back then whenever I play a majority of 3D games for android (anomaly HD, shadowgun THD, riptide THD and so on) i kept getting screen flickers. 2d games works just fine, and up until recently I've realised this issue is caused by the Task killer, apparently it killed a task that it shouldnt, I used to use System panel app for task killing, and it totaly screws up the experience of 3D gaming with the TFP >.>
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
On one hand I totally agree with you! But on the other hand I'd rather wait for a decent update than start to worry about another bad one. So if I have to choose, I pick longer beta test and better ROM over short test and cr@ppy ROM.

Although I have to admit my Prime works pretty okay, I rarely have reboots. My main issue is the browser. Which is too pretty annoying.
