Ok, so you seem to have gotten one of the good ones. The problem is that there are a LOT of bad ones out there. As I already mentioned, upwards of 13% of new iPad users are reporting problems. That is an absolutely atrocious number.

Also, I think you're wrong about the iPad only getting "warm" to the touch. 115* (as recorded by Consumer Reports) is much more than "warm," especially when the device in question is designed to be held in your hands.

I wouldn't say that at all, i like my prime, but like others, my gps is non functioning and has weak wifi.......for a premium device that's unacceptable, saying that, there are workarounds for some of the issues, but the fact that there are issues does annoy me.

What really ticks me off and the other prime owners who have issues, is how asus handled the situation , nothing less then next day or near enough, complete functional replacement is what they should have done, and no, i don't think that's much to ask, i think that's the sign of a very good company

As much as i dont particularly like apple, i always thought to myself, how would they handle it, be interesting to see how apple deals with this
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
115°f is 20° higher than the processor is rated. That means it will burn out fast. Also, lithium polymer batteries are not designed for that kind of heat and will lose their total charge much faster if stored or used at high temperatures (typically above 90-95°f)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wgr73:
The Prime has it's share of issues, we all know that. No device is perfect, the iPad is much closer to perfect then the Prime is...we all know that.

This "Heating" edge you're talking about is not an issue. All electrical components get hot. The iPad 3 is slightly hotter than the iPad 2, it is not a big deal! The only reason ASUS wasn't pretty much forced to recall the Prime is because they aren't as big of a company as Apple. Look what the tiny Antenna-gate problem caused Apple to do (then again, Apple actually acknowledged an issue, and worked on a solution...ASUS on the otherhand....yeah). So you see my point.

It's only warm, nothing more. Everyone knows the media likes "big stories" = big company like Apple = automatic big story (for any small thing they think might be something).

Those "consumer reports" are well within spec. You won't hold the new iPad and fry your hands, or bacon, or twinkies....it's only warm. Anybody every had a laptop on their lap? Those get hotter and it's not an issue
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
Sounds great...now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
good point. lets do some math. new Ipad already said to have sold 3 million units already. 13% of 3million units sold means there are 390,000 units out there owned by people that suffer from this issue alone. by far a minor occurrence..lol that's astronomical number of people having issues. almost half a million alone and number only will rise as more units are sold.

OHHH..CHECK THIS OUT..IM LOOKIN AT CHANNEL 4 NEWS(NBC) NOW...THEY TALKING ABOUT/Covering IPAD HEATING ISSUES...LOL NEWS SOURCING IT FROM CONSUMER REPORTS FINDINGS. AHH THIS IS SOO FUNNY. less than a week old an new Ipad overheating issue has already made national television news headlines.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayer69:
So lets have some fun:

iPad Issues so far:

1. Speed Trap Issue

2. Wifi Sucks

3. iMicrowave Issue

Looking good crapple!!!!!! Making Asus look good!!! not that they needed any help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
If by acknowledged a problem you mean "spent a month telling people they were holding their new Iphone wrong" then yes, Apple admitted a problem.

They are absolutely NOT within spec.

http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/

Read the temperature specs:

Unless you are doing some type of Ogre Math, 115° is 20° higher than the max operating temperature.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wgr73:
Lol. Just being real...may be hard for some people to accept. Obviously...:rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the2rrell:
your comparing a Tablet to a Laptop.......Really??

NO tablets are not supposed to get that hot...i dont care what the specs say...lol you can justify the issue all you want. i know the primes issues and thats not the issue here. it is that people will listen to Crapple and the whole its in SPECS **** and keep using it and IT WILL cause issues down the line. hot is hot and that is to hot to fast.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
apple acknowledged antennae gate issue? that was funniest statement of the day. they did anything but acknowledge it. their initial solution was "you're holding it wrong". remember that? or purposely not mentioning that. their solution was free rubber bumper cases for everyone. wow, what a great solution. plus they just recently lost a major class action lawsuit over that.

fail on bringing that point up buddy. plus there is no closer to perfect than another device. you either perfect or you not. which in this world. nothing man made is perfect. not even a circle is exactly perfect. Man is an imperfect being and anything he creates is the same. there will always be errors. but we allow margins of error to be acceptable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wgr73:
Hahahaha Those specifications are what you subject the iPad to, not the specifications of the iPad internals! Really?? Get your facts right man. Those are ambient temps, bro.

You do know that the CPU/GPU/RAM/ECT get well above 95* right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayer69:
Awwww did I ruffle some feathers? I never said the prime is perfect, I had 4 Primes: 1st one was perfect but I wanted the darker color - Sold to co-worker and is still perfect. 2 had issues with Battery dropping to 0% even after full charge (An issue I asked about on here but seemed to be very rare) Exchanged it 3. Software was perfect...but touch screen was coming up at the volume rocker.... Returned and purchased 4th from Best Buy......Is perfect in every way and still have it and glad I do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
this is very important right here. Can we say burnt out A5x chips within a month or few months of use..lol

this might be the holy grail Android needed. Apple Ipad owners get furious when their device is not perfect and magical like apple made it seem. they will keep complaining and very loudly at that. new Ipad may have had a good initial launch but I'm sure their sales will suffer afterwards from people being Leary or waiting to see how apple fixes issues. official apple forums already filled with people returning units to the stores and complaining. same with wifi issue.

Android Rise of the Machines has begun ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
and your personal opinion somehow translate's to fact??

yup..you're not a Apple fan boy.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HydroSkillet:
LOL so much like the Iphone 4 where Apple sent out cases to users that complained about the antenna they will be sending these to Ipad3 owners who claim it's too hot to handle.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wgr73:
A 150*+ laptop doesn't cause pain in somebodies hand/lap, but holding an iPad that maxes at 116* does?....That's my point.

The Prime got that hot, soooo?? Not understanding your point. People are just making things bigger than they should. That's all.

They gave out bumpers = acknowledged it. (We used to be friends :p) Hahaha. What has ASUS done to acknowledge anything?? I'm not talking about "We realize 09% of people are having small, minor, tiny issues." I mean truly acting upon it. I still see the $.10 cent wifi/GPS thread is going strong!! :cool: That's an awesome fix ASUS! They can at least give out free beer cans so you can tape them to the front of your Prime!! :D :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

I had a Prime before you did, I researched a fix before 99% of people (yes, including you) on this forum did, I realized the Prime was a lost cause probably before you knew what the prime was....so watch go your you tube video and sit in ignorance.

I have a Tab that works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HydroSkillet:
So why are you still here?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
+1 !!!!

That's great
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
good find. didn't know fox news covering all of this also. so here's proof of what I said before. this is plastered all over tech sites and news sites now. Prime never got this type of coverage on it. plus this being not even a week into launch is looking seriously bad for apple. it will hold back people from buying new Ipad now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
and once again I state, your personal opinion translate's to fact, why?

Apple love..is a burning thing..and it makes a fiery ring.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
thank you both for the great laughs. I'm loving this thread. these 2 are classic. apple has its theme song now and now apple sending out free oven mitts to those whose Ipad to hot to hold. ahh man...this is good.

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

we still cool bro. don't take none of it personal. people just having fun with it. you the only one to come in here defending Ipad so you getting caught in the crossfire. Prime has already been beat down on it's issues and constantly compared to how "perfect" Ipad is. So its releiving to see these issues happening now with new apple device. especially when they called out Asus/Tegra3 in their keynote presentation.

you gotta love the irony though. I'm sure your new Ipad working good for you. but doesn't mean they aren't hundreds of thousands of other new Ipad owners not experiencing the issue. (sounds familiar doesn't it..lmfao like a prime Deja view. only Ipad is the star this time) ;)

like I said nothing personal buddy, we still friends. ;) this the ammo needed to scare off people coming in stating new Ipad so much better than prime.

I'm not. Been gone for weeks :D

That's all that matters ;)

The new iPad I'm sure has its problems, they just aren't as big a deal as people say they are! I know it's ironic, especially for the ASUS guys (believe me, I was/am one....in fact I have an OG Transformer still). We'll have to see how this turns out. I have no doubt if it is an ongoing issue, unlike ASUS, Apple will step up to the plate and take care of their customers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
Like the Iphone 4, you're holding it wrong which had to result in a class action lawsuit to resolve?

While Asus has a rep on this and other forum that answer question, take request and have contact with user.

Are offering Full refund for devices and any accessory that are purchased.

Giving weekly update on the current situation and future update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cozmo85:
Lots of companies, including apple allow you to return an item if you arn't happy.

I love when I one up someone and the company did all the work for me. Thank you Apple. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] monkey10120:
the reason this is getting so much news is because apple is "supposed" to "just work". And when it doesnt isheeps flip out, blame it on anything other than apple, and whine until they get it fixed. I mean literally cry.

Im glad to be and androidfanboy :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cozmo85:
To be honest the people that flip out are mostly the press, because writing any story about apple gets you eyeballs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
Including accessories that are third party manufactured?

I don't really know of other company doing that, beside Asus currently.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Sorry late reply. Long week at work. Well, I posted on apple support communities. They called me a liar and tried to flame me down.:mad: All i wanted to do is get a warning out there for the parents. Totally crazy over there. To answer your question about suing... I wouldn't want to put my daughter or my family through something like that. I am sure it would be a total media circus.

I didn't take pictures of the burn. It wasn't a serious burn. But, if the iPad was left on there longer who knows what would have happened. It basically turned her skin red and we put some lotion on it. As of today she is fine. Redness is gone and no permanent damage. Apple needs to man up and come forth and admit there is a problem. Its only been a week since the launch. 1000's of complaints already. Freaking ridiculous is all i can say. :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I was kidding with the sue thing, kinda..lol. But yeah, its a serious problem. not only could it be a possible safety hazard, but how long do people think the processor and internals will last at temps constantly reaching 116°F. All jokes aside, they seriously need to address it. before someone take them to court like the antennae gate fiasco. this time it would be 10x worse because it could be possible safety hazard. what if someone leaves it plugged up and goes to work? maybe they left a game or something running. Ipad overheats while its on the couch. BAM! gets so hot it burns the coach and start a fire. now person house is burning down while they at work. Apple could possibly go out of business with enough possible situations happening like that. these are all real possibilities. I'm not even trying to down the Ipad or apple on this one. This is a real concern and I'd hate for people or apple to find out the hard way when its too late. if it was hot enough to turn your daughters skin red, then it can get even hotter laying on a couch or piece of fabric.

Ive been checking out the official apple forums and ipadforums and its a real hurricane of issues going on. what makes it worse is that new Ipad barely a week old and getting all kinds of bad press now. on tech sites and national t.v. news. they even talking about the wifi and LTE issues on the t.v. now. I know this or is already hitting their sales very badly. I think apple rushed this one out to fast and cut corners on power and heat regulation. they did great opening weekend but I think sales have really halted since issues became public. all I see on. TV. now about new Ipad is negative things. its not being promoted like it usually is.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MilkmilkLemonade:
I have the new 32gig wifi only iPad, and don't have any over heating problems with it. I don't even have any screen bleed, while about 1/8th of the primes screen for me was light bleed, and very annoying.

Anyway, kind of curious why this thread stays open and people actually want to talk about the new iPad, while in the comprison threads, it's "we don't come here to talk about Apple.." and thread closing...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JadedMage:
It's not hard to understand, but I'll explain it as I would to my 4-year old.

This is an Asus Priiiime forum you see?

It's okaaaaay to laugh at ipads here.

If you want to laugh at the prime, then you should go somewhere else.

Like an Iiiipad forum.

Why is this a confusing concept?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MilkmilkLemonade:
I don't want to laugh at the prime...

I purchased it and dock just like everyone else, and have my experiences with it. I've also owned the Xoom, gt10, tf101 - the new iPad is my first iPad experience.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skygunner27:
lol...what is a heading issue? I have a Black 64GB 4G AT&T model and my unit is fine. You'd stop laughing if you saw how the new iPad clowns the ATP in graphics. Here's a taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUG0oPPTm2M

Everyone here must have forgot about all of the problems plaguing the BC to C2 Primes. Now that's something to laugh at;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
Actuality, no, we didn't forget, but maybe you missed the links I posted showing how less than 1 percent of Primes had reported problems and nearly 15 percent of new iPad users were reporting issues. That's significant.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JanetPanic:
This is the prime forum. It is not meant for discussing iPads at all. Not for good or ill. I doubt it will stop but I figured I might as well point out the obvious.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skygunner27:
lol@ less than 1%...that's Magical BS and you know it. I'm so satisfied with my iPad that I decided to actually enjoy it instead of wasting my time here. A friend of mine told me about all the Prime buyers remorse threads popping up here lately, so I decided to take a gander. I can't speak for every new iPad user, but I can say that a fully functional new iPad like mine is leagues a head of the Prime or Infinity pad with standard HD screen and weak graphics. I soon will no longer own a Prime so those of you in fantasy land can rejoice here in the Prime forums:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JanetPanic:
Bye. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] czerdrill:
this thread screams insecurity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MilkmilkLemonade:
Wait - less than 1% of primes had problems, and the response of Asus was to remove the feature (causing 1% of users problems..) from the box?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
No, almost everybody has problems with their Prime (GPS, WiFi, backlight bleeding is just a little worse then on other devices so everybody SHOULD be affected somehow, if it is a problem for you is second). 1% has returned their tablets to Asus, at least I believe that is what Gary told.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
False..lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Didn't mean to thank you, lol. What is false?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluefoam:
I'm getting tired of this ****e. My prime works fine. Why should everyone have problems? Stop being such a hateful person. Go and troll another forum. If you don't have a prime, don't want one or just want to shout about how great the iPad is and how terrible the prime is, then please go away.

It has become impossible to get any useful information here because of the amount of trolling and bull**** posts. The mods need to start taking this seriously, because this forum is becoming an absolute joke.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JanetPanic:
I agree with everything you said. It is true that the focus no longer promotes useful discourse and there is a lot of whinging going on. That said Joeyle is probably also right in that more than 1% are having problems, it is just 1% that have returned (or perhaps complained on official channels). It is as pointless to deny that many have had problems as it is to post the repetitive threads the complainers do.

(That said mine has given me no troubles and I have been very happy with it.)

in past i really enjoyed fast forwarding long tracks/mixes/podcast with a N1's trackball ( stock google music app )

I'm looking for either music app that has fast forward/rewind that can be edited to fast foward in 1min or 5min increments.(Not press and hold like PowerAmp)

or hardware solution like a small bluetooth remote control that can fast forward tracks like described above.

Thank you in advance.

What is better . . Titanium backup paid ( vs/+)rom manager premium vs rom toolbox pro

pros? Cons? Can toolbox read tb backups? Etc does it work?

I need to buy one

......please help:)
[General Questions and Answers] icenight89:
not even a question, titanium hands down. U can migrate your apps to different phones, and across roms, with market links intact. Plus it lets u freeze and uninstall apps with root privileges, as well as ability to extract apks from nandroid backups. Its an absolute power house. There's a reason its a top seller.
[General Questions and Answers] good4y0u:
Can't rom toolbox do both?
[General Questions and Answers] icenight89:
yeah but frankly not as well. id rather have 6 apps do one specific thing really well than one thay does 6 tasks OK. but to each there own. u sound like ur set on rom tb anyway lol
[General Questions and Answers] good4y0u:
I got the titanium backup paid ^ . ^ it really is a beast
[General Questions and Answers] scourgeofgod:
Titanium backup - because its simple but powerful.

And most importantly its stable - there is little that can go wrong with this.
[General Questions and Answers] Raval Kaushal:
titanium cause you can move apps across when u change your roms
[General Questions and Answers] icenight89:
glad u got it sorted
[General Questions and Answers] dvandam:
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I figure better to do that than ask basically the same question (Search function does work people!)

I just got a copy of Rom Toolbox Pro (it's on sale BTW) and I noticed it has a backup feature. I've been using TB free for all my backup needs. I see the overwhelming consensus has been to use TB Pro, but what about TB Free VS Rom Toolbox Pro? One thing I don't understand is the comment, "You can move apps around when you change roms." I'm assuming you mean backing up in 1 ROM then restoring them in the new ROM. RTP can't do that simple feature? That seems rather odd..
[General Questions and Answers] TheFriendlyWAFFLE:
ROM Toolbox is by far better than both, but I'll always stick with Titanium Backup for all my backups. It is very fast and organized. ROM Toolbox I bought for all the ROM management features, app management, ad blocking, root file explorer. It is nice to have all of them in one. So I say buy both, don't be cheap. Support the developer.

GooManager is also another good app to look into. I use that as well and it is free.
[General Questions and Answers] vivek_bhoj:
"You can move apps around when you change roms." - means you can backup all your apps and their data and simply restore it again on new ROM

if u have free TB version than u have to restore all ur apps manually bt if u have pro version then it restores all ur apps automatically.

check this video for all features of TB

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fi4HhvKCFk

if its only TB v/s ROM toolbox pro, then i will go with rom toolbox pro as it gives u root browser and u can flash roms too

but for app backup and restore tb is best works flawlessly
[General Questions and Answers] MACHETE!:
Didn't know this about the Pro version. Time to buy! Thanks for the info. Button thanked!
[General Questions and Answers] good4y0u:
TB is the better option.... been using it since I said on this thread. Tested both.
