[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgjl:
I suppose one of the issues here is that we are under the illusion that this is a 'high-end' device because it breaks $500. This is because Apple's huge economies of scale and ability to create a 'willing' workforce has driven down prices to a ludicrous extent, and the competitors can only compete by lowering quality. Apple can also sell iPads at scratch profit because they control content. Asus will never be able to do that (though Google/Microsoft might). Probably to get everything working as it should this device would struggle to come in under $1000.

The ATP, and even more so the Nexus 7, are just really, really cheap consumer electronics, that can both do things that would have been beyond a dream even 5 years ago. It's a mixed up and crazy world.

Still disappointed with my mura though...;)

Basically going to hold onto this as a workhorse for another year and jump on a 2nd gen Windows 8/RT tablet, when its issues are largely ironed out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Out of curiosity, are you going to attempt another RMA for your mura, or have you had enough?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgjl:
Not sure - it's only a couple of pin head size spots at the moment and, like a big baby, I can't really bear to be without it - also I'm not sure Asus would except it as a problem as they are pretty much invisible unless you are looking for them. As a UK owner I think I have a full year warranty, so I may wait until later in the summer and see if they grow/multiply.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GunnerOnASpooky:
They do accept mura as a defect and will replace the screen. I jusr received mine back today...too bad it has to go back to them because as soon as I powered it on, I see a huge light bleed in the upper right corner :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Haha. Sorry to hear, but that sounds about right. I finally sent my Prime in yesterday for mura, and I'm EXPECTING it to come back worse than it was when I sent it in. Make sure those s.o.b.'s don't try and stick you with shipping costs again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GunnerOnASpooky:
I'm not sure I'll be able to get them to repair it again as my bootloader is unlocked...I slipped by with the mura issue, but I don't think they'll take the bait again as it's been sent to a case rep ...but we'll see how it goes. If they deny it, I might bite the bullet and dive into the internals and see if I can fix it. I don't want to, but I have some experience replacing screens and boards.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sobresa:
another form of mura?

I have a six month old TF101. I purchased a refurbished unit, so it is already out of warranty. My Transformer has some issues which I did not notice immediately and was unable to get warranty service for when I did notice them a month later because I was traveling in a remote area. First, the screen wobbles a bit in the frame, which at first I thought was just the way the tablets were constructed but later, after some reading, found out was a defect in some units. There is also a small hair trapped under the glass which did not appear until I had had the Transformer for a month, I believe it was hidden on the far side of the glass for a while, but with use and movement, it drifted toward the visible portion of the screen. But now my Transformer has developed a new problem similar to the one being discussed in this thread. Yesterday I noticed, for the first time, three bright spots or "streaks" on the screen, two of which are quite visible on the left side, and one which is less visible on the right. Like one other previous poster here mentioned, the spots on my display are only visible when the background color on the screen is dark.. They are not visible at all when the screen is white. People reporting mura are saying their spots are most visible when the screen is white so I don't know if the spots on my screen would technically be called mura or something else.

When I first noticed them I thought the spots were fingerprint smudges; then, after trying to wipe the "smudges" off I realized they were UNDER the glass! I don't know anything about LCD technology but it looks to me like the spots are the color of the LCD panel itself. If I press down hard anywhere on the touch screen with my finger, I can see a light white-purplish color flash onto the screen in that area. The permanent spots that have appeared on my screen are the same color as this.So I'm guessing in the spots where this defect exists light from the LCD panel is bleeding through?

Does anyone know if a bright spot which appears when the screen is dark but not white is also a form of mura, or is it a different problem with a different cause?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joehanratty:
Yes, I had 3 spots, sent it back with RMA and listed every issue I had. After less than 3 weeks it came back with no spots and working better than before it left. Get it fixed, you wont regret it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
I assume your wifi also sucks as the tightness of the screen is necessary for good wifi
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sobresa:
Interesting about the wifi. Mine seems okay, although I have noticed my laptop signal shows as stronger than the Transformer signal, with both devices in the same location. There was one time when my Transformer could barely get and keep a signal and yet my laptop had a strong signal, but in most situations the wifi has been adequate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lilstevie:
This is a tf101 though yeah? the wireless antenna is in a different location on the tf101 that isn't dependant on the screen being in place.

As a side note, with the screen out of my transformer prime the wifi signal strength is the same as with the screen on (and yes I have tested, the pogo pins are indeed touching the antenna pads when closed up)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
I completely missed the 101 portion of his comment. In my experience those typically have excellent wifi.

when you have the screen out of your prime the pogo pins do not make contact with the antennas and unless you connect a wire to the pin itself it will be as if there is no antenna installed. if your wifi performs as well with nothing connected to the pogo pins and with the front disconnected it probably means that your antennas (while connected to the pogo pins) are not properly grounding to the backshell and attenuating most of your signal. After enhancing these 3 ground points I found vastly improved wifi and gps.

And, somewhere along the way between altering my prime and using baked bean rom I dont seem to have any wifi bt fallout anymore either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xxbeanxx:
Me too, except I had 6 spots and two dead pixels. It's fine now after RMA. Worth the time without IMO.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chockchip:
yes i have exactly same problem my spot is somewhere near center of the screen ...it is very noticeable under white background or yellow. i sent back to Asus for fix and try to request them to replace the panel but they told me that this case is not cover under Asus warranty. so i got back my prime without any fix.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgjl:
I've had 3 screens and each one has either developed mura, or ,on my last one, came back from RMA with it already there! - it's gone back for one last RMA. After 3 hardware repair failures Asus will think about a refund, so if it happens again I shall probably be looking elsewhere. The ATP is so close, but it keeps on messing up in QC.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] strawbearlyjamm:
Anyone have mura in a line? I have a bright section of pixels on the tablet right about where it would line up with where the spacebar meets the bottom oft he keyboard. Is that mura? Is it covered under warranty?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vipergrm:
I am also in a dispute with Asus over a repair. From the image below you'll see that the mura effect is quite noticeable in the centre of my screen. I contacted Asus about this and they want me to pay 404 Euro for the cost of replacing the screen yet others are being charged 270 Euro? Anyway that doesn't really matter as I don't think I should be paying any amount for it. I cannot understand how they can possible say I've cause this fault. It is supposed to be tough gorilla glass and yet it can't withstand the normal daily presses it was designed to do in the first place?

I am very careful with my devices and I've always looked after my Transformer (TF300). This will be the last Asus product I will ever buy if this is the way they treat their customers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Asus didn't give me a problem with paying to fix my mura. It sucks they're giving you a hassle. Asus lost me as a customer too. My Prime has been sold, I'll never buy an Asus product again, and I've been bad mouthing them to all of my friends and family who ask me for advice on their tech purchases. They are a despicable, awful company, and I wish them nothing but the worst.

Boost can be about as difficult as Cricket, but sometimes closer to Virgin, it just depends on if you can get them to activate it.

You can sometimes buy pre-activated Evo 4g and Evo 3d on Boost from Craigslist.

This is a simple tutorial how to create a CWM flashable ZIP for readding your WIFI

password (useful if it's really long).

WARNING: ONLY USE GB WPA_SUP. WITH OTHER GB ROMS, OR ICS WPA_SUP. WITH OTHER ICS ROMS, NOT ICS WITH GB (thanks crybert)

First download the attached file and extract it to whereever you want.

Then, take your phone and copy the wpa_supplicant.conf located in /data/misc/wifi/ to the SD-Card to get it into your Computer.

- Open the attached homeNetPrepared.zip with WinRAR or 7zip etc..

- The attached zip file includes a folder named data, in it there is misc and there is wifi . Insert your wpa_supplicant.conf here.

- Now close it and put it on your phone.

If you flash it, you'll be able to connect to your network without retyping your (long) password after a factory reset or etc. .

i hope this is useful ;)

nice Patch, but i think looking into my router is faster and easier because i can copy paste it from there.

but Thanks it's a very intereting patch.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomixdev:
yes, but after flashing a new rom/wiping data it's good to have that zip to flash right after the rom, so you don't need to type in the password again ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] crybert:
When you will use an wpa_supplicant.conf which was used in ICS for example and then flash the file on a gingerbread rom, It can break you wifi.

This is because of different ctrl_interface names.

At least this happend to me once.

Probably a dumb newbie question but the repartitioning process described in another thread seems pretty involved.

Can I take advantage of the BN repartitioning offer by reverting to stock and then re-rooting with one of Albert's SD card image files after BN does its thing or are the image files only compatible with the standard out of the box partitioning?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cbarth3:
Well I plan on finding out this question this weekend. I have already used the unrooter once and re-rooted on v1.42. I plan on unrooting again and taking it in to have it partitioned unless the devs get a hold of the BN way of partitioning then I will do it myself.
