At the risk of lowering the tone of this thread even further...yes, the intolerant and abusive nature of posts like this do indeed remind me of a three year old ranting.

All, some respect for each other please.

After the last google maps update my transformer primes gps works perfect, before it said i was 6 houses away lol so can you guys make sure you update ur google maps and test your gps and post your results thanks.:D

guess they update yesterday to version 6.5
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
Why is the prime still out of stock everywhere?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Well, for sure we will, but certainly not within the next month or so I would guess. I suppose ASUS may well have had access to the source prior to the server push, however, I would guess that they have been working on getting 4.0.3 as stable as possible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Severion:
The problem is GPS doesn't work for us at all, it might even be that your wifi is used for positioning, and if all other GPS test products dont really work and give barely any GPS signal i dont think its a maps issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zephyrot:
Not for all of us.

Check out the screenshots i posted here

And here is another one walking like 10 minutes ago to the train station... there is no wifi and i am just listening music through BT
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gdmacdo:
Update is here

Build is 9.4.2.21-20120323

Camera version - TF201-0x9900

wiFi v6.1.1.22

There is the Wi-Fi direct option

Android Version 4.03

I do not see facelock under security or other options. @vibe is updated.

Response time seems snappier when scrolling and screens. I have not been able to have the "flicker" from youtube and live wallpaper so maybe that is fixed. Activating lapse-it would always make the camera/screen flicker and that did not happen.

Other than it seeming faster, I do not see any real special features, but I am still looking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brainimpact:
now the new firmware(.21) is rolling out when can we expect the announcement you mention Gary?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SeaWaLK:
Hmmm. Where is face unlock located? Couldn't't find it under security. TW version here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TechAnimal:
Downloaded the update. Just doing a quick titanium backup before I install :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikeypopps:
just got it in NY
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] davetwin:
Just downloading firmware update now, im in United Kingdom
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stierney:
Im in UK, nothing via firmware check and nothing on web site, how are you seeing the update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Just wanted to thank you for the first posting on the update being available :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] davetwin:
Im sat in my office in Bristol and just went to the check for updates option in settings where it then notified me of available firmware update.

Info confirms im on .21
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stierney:
guess ill just wait until it hits the web page and i can manually update :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nitram_tpr:
Got an update available check notifications (I'm in the UK - London) when I went into settings.

Trouble is, my Prime has been sitting here at 99% for 30 minutes now :(

And just as I press go on this it decideds it is OK to upgrade.............

Prime Browsing Still Not Fixed

Both the Stock and Dolphin Browser's are shutting down still, this makes it impossible to use the internet, I was hoping this update would fix this issue, since I have been having this issue for close to a month now. Gary Please look into this! This is a major issue, and this should of been the first thing fixed with the update. I know if I disable Java script it does not shut down, but almost all websites require Java Script. I am so disappointed as of late, I was happy with the product 3 months ago. Please , Please Fix! Thank you :(

P.S. Still no Face Unlock Either, even though it was advertised that the update would implement this....:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wollybeast:
Anyone gotten Wi Fi Direct to work. When I turn it on, a pretty icon appears on the status bar, but I'm unable to list/select any devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bologdl:
New Firmware is available for down load a day early

Just received that latest firmware 9.4.2.21 earlier then expected.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andrewin:
Same here. No settings for WiFi Direct.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acricketer:
Where is Wifi Direct?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Is it just me.. or does this .21 feel update.. feels/looks more like .16/.19??

.19 changelog

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wollybeast:
It appears then that both face unlock and Wi Fi Direct are MIA. Wonder where they might have gone?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kaixis:
9.4.2.21 a few hours ago in Greece too.

There is WiFi direct available (did not try it yet).

There is no more screen flickering with the live wallpapers and it looks stable for now.

Face unlock is NOT available.

Good luck to everyone!:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
WIFI Direct is included. Just.. it doesn't work well (doesn't work for me..).

Few other features seems to be missing as well.. such as..

+ Press-able notification in Lock screen

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

Edit: Perhaps Asus will release another update soon... otherwise, what's the Awesome New Feature that they boasted about? Well, I guess an update to Asus Vibe is considered awesome new feature (in their perspective.. it could be) ......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] snapdoodle:
Wifi direct is available
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Notifications and email working here...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wollybeast:
If it doesn't work, I don't count it. Have you managed to connect to something?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] snapdoodle:
I don't have adapter
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
WIFI direct has nothing to do with an adapter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I have the new update installed also. I saw the notifications on lockscreen. pretty cool and it works. Saw the wifi direct option in settings, then more. ill test it out sometime today. thanks to the one guy who first posted up update was available. if anyone gets wifi direct working, post it up or make a thread on it. This is a huge feature, IMO.

My wife agrees... :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andersonphotographics:
I disagree. To me a trade up to a properly working product with enhanced spec makes absolute sense. Result = happy customer + removal of flawed product from the market place for as long as Asus decide.

@Gary

Is there a Gary Key for UK? We have same issues in UK, FYI.

Sent throught the wormhole from my CoinInserted Sensation OG.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluefoam:
Am considering getting TP this week and would like to know if the weak GPS and WiFi issues have been fixed with newer production models? Also, how do I know if the one I pick up is from a recent production run?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mopar400:
Gary,

We all appreaciate your help with the problems.

.15 is running smooth and GPS is the only complaint.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawkysoft:
Gary,

Even that you probably won't even read this, or just quick read it.

I'm very happy with the TF201, the only thing I dislike is that nvflash is not supported on unlocked devices.

Further than that, the TF201 is something that has a spot in my daily life, heck I even watch movies on it in my bed ;)

So basically all i want from Asus is to support us a little more on developement that's about it.

P.S. keep up the good work
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MysteriousDiary:
Mine runs also pretty well, just still have sometimes those graphic flickering issues and crashes in some games. Not sure if this is nvidia driver related.

Looking forward to .16 - loving the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] h3ckman:
This is very informative, thank you for posting this and attempting to address all rumors!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xxbeanxx:
I completely agree with the OP. I believe some people are simply born to whine and *****. I also think there is a sociogenic aspect to all of the complaints too. A person sees a few people complaining and (either consciously or subconsciously) wants to be a part of the group. As the group grows even more people have to be a part of it.

My prime has seen its share of problems, reboots, weird screen orientation problems, browser lagging; but no more than any other device I own. It works great 99.9% of the time and I'm happy with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Do you guys notice how a certain few guys who seem to always post negative comments/or claim 5 RMA's havent posted on this thread?? Hmm, I wonder why? Maybe they are scared to be called out as the trolls they are. Most of you should know a few of them already, one whom I shall not name doesnt even own a Prime anymore, yet he always has a negative comment..the other has been talking about RMA'ing his device for weeks now, how he has this issue and that....go back and read the other threads, it would be obvious whom Gary was speaking about :) Pay attention on how when one person claims to have issues with the latest firmware after everyone else post positive results, not even 1 minute later there are *me too* post from guys who just so happened to join XDA at that same particular moment....let's start doing a troll alert!! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
There is whining and there is complaining. I complain. And why shouldn't I? Gone through 7 primes and each one of them had one defect or the other, either hw problem or poor quality control, with grains of rice under the screen, dents on the back, screen being separated from the body. Is it too much for me to ask for good quality product with hardware working as expected for £500?

I don't give up, I ordered no8. But I'd hope Asus would do something about it. After all, I'm not being unreasonable here, am I?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Trust me I already know who these fools are..lol there is one in another thread now that can't seem to keep my name out his mouth. Probably because he know his stories n lies don't fool me anymore..lol. Anyone that constantly has to brag about getting this or that for free, is suspect. Always saying he got rid of his prime. Then next day saying he woke up to a 3rd. Free prime on his doorstep. Lmfao that joker just needs to GTFO outta here with all them lies. Then always come with some sad excuse of why he still hangs around although he no longer owns a device. He's been found to have a history of lies n scamming with several products. He is one of the ones trying to take advantage of the situation wasting peoples time. Never once seen him add anything meaningful or helpful to xda community. All his posts are rants, cries, n negative comments which no one cares for.

Sad thing is he fooled me at first with his sad return story. Then I was like the only one sticking up for him when he got flamed left n right by users stating they sick of hearing his tape recorded story of returning primes. But he slipped up n caught him in a lie with contradicting facts n info on his situation. That's when everything became clear. He just some type of scammer trying to take advantage of a situation.

Funny how several people have noticed this also. One thing for sure is I always defend my experience with this device n help others, when possible. I never need to resort to lies or negative comments or name calling or whatever. That alone separates the men from the boys. Its all funny though. Like a little kid who constantly lies n make stuff up to try to look cool n fit in. Plus he must not be very smart still hanging around when he already been exposed.

Troll Patrol in full effect now! We exposing those mofos...lol ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
Good Luck~

The device is worth every penny.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Wow, you really went through seven Primes, that has to be a RMA record!! Talk about dedication! Man, I have had only one Prime and I don't have the issues that some seem to have (besides GPS being weak) Did you inform Gary on your seven RMA's, maybe he can help you because that is just way too extreme..and rice under the screen..was that sent to you directly from ASUS repair?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Huh? Even if they are... (heck, you might as well consider me as one since many of my posts are probably "negative" in your eyes)... they still have their rights. Sure, those who you are calling out is acting childish or bit dramatic.... but their exp. might have been bad enough for them to continue to "*****".

Anyways, Asus brought all of these problems/trolls onto themselves.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
LOL..I think I knw exactly who you are talking about! Why dont you send him a link to this thread, I would love to see how he replies to Gary's *troll comments*

*If you spot a troll, do not feed or follow them, they are known to infect users with make believe or hyped-up stories* We need a troll icon here on XDA!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
Trolling by definition aren't brought on by any mean, but by individual trying to get a rise out of any situation and delight in this action, and doesn't really pay any heed to their "complaint" as the people replying to them is more important then the issue they raised.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
True, but trolling also starts due to a "problem" that exist. Many of the trolls in this forum are unnecessary, I certainly agree.. but there are trolls who troll due to the "PROBLEM" that exist with Transformer Prime. In that case, Asus brought it to themselves.

Anyways, Demandrin has called me out multiple time as "troll" & not worthy because I don't have enough "thank you" that he values so much on my resume. Does that mean I am a troll & simply should stay quiet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
He not talking about people like you or even the other guy, he is talking about the obvious ones who got caught up in lies and listed in rumor example 2a. Asus didn't bring people trying to scam on themselves. Scammers will always try to take advantage of any situation. So people shouldn't get sensitive to Mr. CANNADY post. He is talking about specific people who it should be obvious who they are. FOR example: they are the ones constantly trying to convince people on silly stuff. Like " Yeah I received my 4th. Free prime today". Or "Asus is buying me a free new Ipad, thanks Asus". List goes on n on bringing up unneccessary stuff trying to actually convince people those claims are true. It could be in a thread about GPS n they will come in off subject, outta nowhere talking I just returned Y 10th. Prime but I just got a new free one in the mail. Which my friend gave me a huge amount gift card for. So i sold it to him. Next day he like yeah, I have the prime n dock sitting on my desk...LMFAO. damn...can't even get his lies to make sense with other ones he told. There are others also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
It could be, maybe you were infected with Trollism and don't even know it! They have pills that you can take for that though.

Just messing with you man!! :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
adapter is only needed if you want to connect landline Ethernet cable to prime for internet. wifi direct is strictly wireless.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rariss:
like a kid on christmas eve...

i love feeling excited about things i already own!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SeaWaLK:
1) WIFI direct confirmed not working. Cannot connect with Galaxy S2 because prime's WIFI direct setting is non-existent. I can locate my prime through S2 but when I request connection, nothing happen on my prime so I can't accept connection.

2) Face unlock is not there too.

GPS

My GPS, which could rarely find one or two birds seems to get a good fix (with wifi off) after the update. I am amazed. However, wifi range is no better. Still, if this holds, I may not send my unit back for a refund.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
Some users are saying that a soft reset using the pin hole on the side is recommended after the update. Does anyone know what that does and what if anything gets wiped?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
it doesn't erase anything. the soft reset kinda gives you a fresh start and makes sure everything is in place. plus if any issues with prime, soft reset usually clears it. it also gets rid of bogus files and such.

if you just updated, do a soft rest to be on the safe side and have a better start on new firmware. I just did it myself minutes ago. nothing gets erased so there should be no worries.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Hmm, not exactly certain yet.. but my battery seems to be draining slightly quicker compared to .15 firmware.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
give it at least 24hrs. to test out. its a little too soon for that. did you soft reset after update to have optimal setup?

we do have proper battery reporting now in settings then battery. you could check there to see what's going on possibly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Thus the uncertainty...

Yea, I had to do soft reset to get my notification to work. Yea, checking my battery report as well..

However, it's during idle state when it seems to be draining quicker compared to .15 ..

But I need to test it out for a day or two to be certain.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you could also use CPU spy to make sure its hitting low speeds when in idle. I haven't taken a look in there yet. I hope they didn't change anything, as far as clock speeds go. in idle you should be hitting that 102mhz-300mhz speed. 102mhz when in idle optimally.

I did read somewhere about how we think it hitting 102mhz will give best battery life. but it actually doesn't. they said 200mhz is actually better. why? because it can handle and finish processes and such twice as fast. therefore going into deep sleep or a relaxed state faster. with 102mhz, system strains that much harder to get tasks done and takes longer to finish them and hit deep sleep. That's another discussion though. ;) it just came back into mind while posting this. I think I read that from the galaxy forum here or something. no one ever confirmed if this holds true for prime or not. might be worth looking into.

edit: on another note Shinzz, I did write and hear back from actual developer of Shadowgun on updating issue. they sent me the new apk for it through email. come to find out he sent me the regular version...lol. so I wrote him back telling him i had the THD version. he wrote me back today and attached the THD version apk. to the email. very impressed with how they helped me out. you need to email the actual developer. not that madfinger email address. that madfinger email address wrote me back and said they couldn't help. little did they know one of the actual developers did help me out and sent me the new ShadowgunTHD Leftover pack apk ;)

WiFi Direct connects.... but then what....

I agree, it seems that the settings/setup dialogue for WiFI direct on the TFP are somehow missing. However, after some playing; I've been able to get Wifi Direct to connect between my Galaxy S2 and TFP. Here's what I did;

- TFP: turn on Wifi direct (there seem to be no other settings available)

- SGS2: turn on Wifi direct, scans and finds my TFP

: select the TFP and I get a menu showing Wi-Fi Protection setup.

: From this menu I chose PIN from this device.

: Dialogue shows Invitation Sent and an 8 digit PIN (leave open)

- TFP : shows nothing (!)

: switch OFF WiFI direct and then back on again

: Dialogue pops up for you to enter then PIN number

- SGS2 : Use OK to close the PIN dialogue box

The SGS2 now reports that is is connected to the TFP both under WiFi direct settings and in the Notification bar.

However, I have no idea what to do next. File Managers and MyNet don't seem to show any attached Network devices. Can't find any apps that make use of WiFi direct; suggestions anyone?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] OpaB:
wifi direct

Have the latest firmware, like to use wifi direct to connect to my hp laser jet. However, i do not see where i turn on wifi direct on the prime

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TremF:
Nice one Asus -

Wifi direct isn't easy to enable/doesn't work as intended?

Face Unlock app shows but we can't actually do anything with it?

New notifications options for the unlock screen are? (i can't remember if the notifications bar showed previously but it does now and you can jump direct to the new notification - i.e. email or update)

I bet the major surprise is - there's an update but it doesn't actually do anything useful? ;P

So far for me the stock browser seems stable - hopefully Overskreen will be too and I have enabled the system bar lock option.... stability is good but is to be expected and not worth the build up this update got.

It would be interesting to see release notes for this big jump from .15 to .21 :)
