[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
I can confirm the OP's post as legit!

Guys, I just called Asus customer service and was immediately transferred to a conference call to the very same VP as well as the President of Asus!! They did confirm that even though they have pending lawsuits so they shouldn't be telling me this, but after gaining their trust over the phone, they did admit that they were well aware of the issues with these tablets, but that they just really needed to make some money, so they went and released them anyway. They also informed me of the secret update that Gary has mentioned, which will be released soon! I can't tell you guys what the announcement will be or they threatened to be really really upset with me if I did!

So now demandarin is not the only person with an Asus contact!!

love you guys!! :p :p

This "unavailability" thing also doesn't make sense to me. Practically every Fry's Electronics in my vicinity is stocking Prime 32/64 Grey/Champagne and the corresponding docks. For $499 and $599 plus taxes respectively. I actually stood in line on the release day and was majorly jilted by Apple with the iPad 3 (bad screen/temperature/10 hr recharge issues, to name a few). After 5-6 exchanges and repeated bad screens, I gave up and decided to get the BEST android tab instead. :) The Prime was an obvious choice. I looked up Amazon and the it looks like they are going for $600+ for 32. I look up Fry's and they got em all. LOL. I'm seriously stumped as to why the online prices have shot up like that. And... get this... my Prime had a dead pixel. It took me a while to unroot and remove the cwm. :D But it can be done. :) I took it to Fry's and walked out with a brand new one in less than 15 minutes. :) I have had no other 'issues' as such. Although I haven't tested the GPS. :o My buddy mistakenly updated it to .21 and now I'm stuck w/o root. LOL. But hey, otherwise it's a solid piece of hardware. Very well designed. I don't think a lot of people understand the complications behind cutting-edge design and hardware integration. Apple was handing out $5 bumpers for dropped calls. I'm sure Asus has done a much better job with the Prime. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ohwell:
Mind games! I would say no one in here gets any inside info from anyone at asus other than what Gary provides . Anything else is just another wannabie.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
no one's trashing the OP, we're just not buying his story. A lot of us work in a corporate environment and know that the end consumer has no connection to an high ranked official in a business, heck not even a low end employee can just contact a VP for insider decision, how on Earth do you think someone outside of ASUS is going to get this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
How is OPs comment any different compared to .. "oh, I know what the major announcement is but it's a secret.. however, it is something big.. so.. you just wait"??

It really goes both ways....

And if you really think Asus is the only company that's being involved in XDA.. just look at what Sony is doing.

Yes.. Sony's own devs. are being involved in XDA.

Wondering what that MEGA-flaws are....

Bad Wifi? Not on my Prime (C30) (compared with his predecessor TF101, wifi is at the far range a little bit worse, but still better than my HTC Sensation).....

Bad GPS reception? 12 satellites in view, 10 locked on....Little worse than the TF101, but not much....

Backlight bleeding? No Sirry BoB!

What then?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Perhaps. Perhaps production has been kept low (at first) to fix the issues. I just bought a C2 prime and EVERYTHING works, except the GPS. I have noticed that more and more primes are beginning to get in stock. Especially at BB's. Prime is an awesome tablet. IT DOES make sense that whatever bug was wrong with the mobo's in the prime. It took awhile for new revisions to be manufactured. I haven't opened my C2 or even a C3. Put it could be a bad batch of broadcomm chips in alot of the old BX serials mobos. Who knows. My C2 prime, does not have the bluetooth fallout issue and wifi works awesome.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
edit: forget it..lmfao not worth addressing.

plus that Sony involvement is a joke. nothing on the scale like Asus has here.

More importantly vvvvv
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
Demandarin and mccar... Can't remember the rest of the nick. Seriously? Just some random guys. Given direct access to executives? Mcc..what was the nick? Transfered to conference call? Seriously? Seriously?! On that, I call your posts in the future BS.

Demandarin has compromised his stance by being waaaaaaaay overprotective. He spends more time on these forums than ANYONE can afford. Unless its someone's job.... Or he is jobless and real lifeless (s&8t happens). On that, I call his posts in the future BS.

Sorry guys. As much of an intelligent person you appear, and you do no harm to anyone, but I just find your information untrustworthy and would advise everyone to take info you supply with a shovel of salt. As I mentioned Dem, no hard feelings. You two just need to step aside and have a look how you two look on these forums.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
difference: my post about talking to president was a joke n so was McCandy. meant to be sarcastic.

plus judging by my Thanks meter, I'd say I look like one helpful mofo up here ;) no hard feelings.

wow, you stooped to a new low one actually thinkn that post I made was actually meant to be true. let me edit it before other people might foolishly believe it to be true also. Its called Humor and Sarcasm. look it up.

As always, no hard feelings. For the other foolish claims you made, maybe that represents yourself. so no need to mirror that image to someone else you don't know. with you claiming to exchange 8 &9 primes all from different locations, seems like you the one with too much time on your hands buddy...LMFAO.

NICE Try but no Cigar ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Guy, the conference call I mentioned was just a joke..I hope that you did realize that??

And if you are going to call people out on their "stories " then should we believe you on having received you 9th Prime??? Not for nothing, but that either makes you more of a Prime fanatic than anyone here, or we should take your story with a grain of salt also. After my third RMA, I would of asked for my money back an purchased a different tablet. ;)

And I am not knocking you at all...seriously, I actually kind of believe you..but damn man 9 times!! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
don't sweat it...I added a disclaimer to my first post. he obviously can't sense Sarcasm.

you do have good points ln what you just said though...hmmmm.....honestly I wouldn't of went past 2 primes. now he supposedly waiting on 9th. classic. he needs to step back n see how he is looking instead of that blasphemy he posted.

I can't believe he actually thought that was true or meant to be. the president...oh lord. I hope you not that gullible outside the internet...lol

I also urge all users to use caution from his posts. two can play that game..lol

I predict this thread will be shut down b4 shortly ;) Iron Fist will be here soon to lay the smackdown.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paddycr:
Great, thank you so much for your input. I have called customer service 4 times in the last hour demanding a conference call with the VP. I told them that you were able to do this but they just threatened to call the cops on me on the last occasion. If people were a little more thoughtful and tried not to interject their so called 'humor' into these threads I wouldn't have Asus threatening my ass with a restraining order. Thanks for nothing buddy :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
Oh, let's not judge people by their thanks meter. I got quite a few thanks for just posting something people agree to. In no way that is helpful to anyone or makes me more trustworthy. I could say that war in Iraq is right (not that I think so), and loads of people would agree to that and thank me to show that they agree with it. How does that give me any credibility? Same goes for everyone else.

Exchange. 7 exchages to be precise, will be filling request for no8 shortly for a full refund not exchange(laggy browser, and WiFi+bt drop after new update, latter one was fine before it). I have receipts for most of them, but I don't have and don't want to prove anything to anyone. Time? Yes, but Prime IS best tablet on the market, just riddled with faults (not all of them), and I would still love to have one, albeit a good working one.

I do represent myself, and not trying to force feed my opinion to anyone (unlike you), anyone is free to take my advice or call it BS, we do live in democratic world.

I do apologise. I shouldn't been that hard on you.

I'm not a fanatic, but I do want Prime badly. There is no tablet on the market currently that would suit my needs better than TFP. There you go. Also, I feel pissed off with Asus that they still say that there is no problem in general. I'd love them to admit it, say "my bad" and to find extra resources to help people who struggle to find a good working prime.

My bad for not spotting Sarcasm & Humour, but all of the above stands (not in you case, I do apologise).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
No problem at all man, after all the ridiculous things happening in the prime threads, I can understand you. As for demandarin, I can admit that he has bene really helpful in some of his post, and from personal emails between us, i do believe that he is in direct contact with someone at Asus, but that's all I am willing/allowed to say at this point :) :)!!

We all all Prime owners, and I do agree that this is the best tablet out, so i hear where you are coming from. However, I do believe that this thread should be closed due to it's B.S. I mean sometimes you have to use common sense, why would a VP tell a random caller so much info about a company that he works for, and risk losing his job? Threads like these really make me believe Gary in some of the trolling he spoke off earlier, i called out the OP yesterday on his questionable post, and this thread all but confirmed my suspicions about him.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] M_T_M:
Guys, guys, guys...I don't really care for the ASUS company or their products as much as I don't care who is the biggest flamer on this thread.

So far the flame war meter just went over 9000 and that's where its going to end :cool:

Thread closed!! do not re-open or open a thread about: "Teh Mod haz gone crazy with pawah...we must stop him"...capisce? :cool:

fixed.............
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
This is a modem from the Sidekick 4G. It has the same radio as our phone so it is safe to use. I have been using it for the last day and have experienced better performance, more signal stability, and less reboots.

Current known issues: none

Current known fixes: fixes text send error for messages larger than 160 characters

Fixes wifi speed issues in some Roms

Reported better signal for some people

Flash instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Flashing_a_modem

This is experimental. I am not responsible if you break your phone, etc. If it doesn't work for you, it's not hard to flash back to our modem. This will not brick your phone unless you do something stupid. I am not here to teach you how to flash. Read the wiki.

There are two modems here, KJ2 and KD1. Try them both and see what works best for you. KD1 worked better for me. KJ2 was finicky with data.

I hope this helps!!!

KJ2

KD1
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
Flashed both w/o issue... Running the kd1 now
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Flashed both and I couldnt connect to the Google play store. Tried uninstalling updates and everything. Once I went back to the one I was running (sorry forgot which one it is) everything worked again. This was on unnamed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
Kd1 connects to play store without issue, I'm running vb-final
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iamperson347:
Kj2 Seems fine. Definitely more stable connection, and ping response times on speed test are way better, averaging around 60ms. GPS works, play store works, correct time is shown, etc etc. Will continue to test and keep posted on the reboot issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Guys, just a tip.

Flashing modems through cwm is "DANGEROUS".

Suppose you have t959v kj6 modem, and you have wifi on, and then you flash t839ukv kj2.

You may go into a soft bootloop. (Turn on, 15 seconds later, soft reboot, turn on...etc)

This is solvable by reflashing your old modem.

In order to avoid this error TURN "OFF" WiFi BEFORE FLASHING.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] P06o:
Never thought about the potential issue with flashing a modem before. I hadn't had any issues, but I'm never on wifi...this is useful to know!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iamperson347:
I'm pretty sure I had my wifi on and I can turn it on and off just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Turning on and off isn't the problem. Once you are on the new modem for more than 5 minutes, there is no problem.

Just don't flash while it is on.

I have experience :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Also it is just a possibility. Maybe it might have to do with wifi calling idk. That's just my suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
I flashed with wifi-enabled, and it didn't cause any problems. So far I've gone 10 hours without a reboot. The only problem I've had is it's a little slower connecting to mobile data in low signal areas.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikhail777:
Im using the kj2 modem and I'm now getting anywhere from 1-3 bars consistently with no negative battery drain! Thanks for this find!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iamperson347:
Also, no 160 character text failing to send errors
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I'm on the KJ2 modem and had the random reboot earlier. I may give KD1 a try tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
I prefer odin/heimdall for flashing modems and kernels. An excellent find!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Modems aren't responsible for random reboots unless you are in a constant boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Airfluip that's not constructive. He is working to find the soure. We appreciate his work. Until you figure it out let's not work against others working to figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MonsterInc:
Flashed both w/o issue
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
I may make an Odin flashable when I get bored. I just find cwm more convienent myself

I am just trying to track it down, and even if it didn't fix the reboot issue, it improved about 10 other things and fixed the slow wifi issue in unnamed so I'd say its an improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
I'm on Valhalla Final.

Haven't had any random reboots lately.

Flashed this KD1 and it improved my Wifi reception in about 15%.

Also working with long SMS's.

Great find !
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] P06o:
I've been on kd1 for 6 hours and all connectivity seems to have improved dramatically. Awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vicious89:
I can attest to to kd1. Ever since I flashed it I've gotten stronger signals and 4g in places where it was weak to no signal even in elevator. I was even able to tether for my ps3 and ipad. Btw Kd1 from froyo or is it gingerbread? thanks for the find.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Reviewers:
Im guessing the Galaxy S 4G modem works on our phone? Ill flash this ln my SGS4G later and flash a SGS4G Modem on my Sidekick later.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
Both phones have the same modem hardware. I didnt really expect it to work when i flashed it but it did, so yay. The GS4G modem should work on the sidekick 4G, but i wouldnt recomend it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
lol, there are many more leaks from sk4g to try out. We have only tested two. They almost have as many leaks as us!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
I stuck to these two because they were were the highest rated and all i could find. I had to rip them from roms to get them. Most of the sidekick's material was lost when multiupload got shut down.

If you manage to find them you can always try them out and i can update the op with them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
I have all leaks from KIx onwards.

Go to sammobile.com

And sampro.pl

(This site is in Portuguese. Use Google chrome to translate.)

I just don't want to download a bunch of frozen yogurt just to get the modems.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] g4ry12:
It's Polish, man :) Ah, doesn't matter, the language would probably get auto-detected anyway.

Back to the subject: I flashed the KJ2 modem and everything seems to be OK. I do not feel any dramatic difference, but that's probably because SGS4G's KJ6 modem was not bad for me at all, especially compared to the old leaked Gingerbread modems.

I have a question though. I assumed that KJ2 would be better than KD1, because, well, J > D. But now that I saw people flashing KD1 and getting good results I wondered if the change in lettering reflected anything. Which modem is the later version?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
The forum trend leans towards different modems working better in different areas... so test it out and see if you can tell a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
For the St. Louis area, I like kd1 for speed, but it sometimes locks up on me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
I tried out the KD1 here in the SF Bay area. It seemed fine, but I had super-slow download speeds - not even 1mbps, according to Speedtest. Upload speed was faster than that! Even downloading the Speedtest app took a long time, compared to the stock KJ6, which was my first indication of an issue.

I just flashed KJ3, and it is much faster - app. 3mbps download, 1mbps upload. I sent a long text to a friend in NYC just now, and he got it, even though, weirdly, the phone said it didn't send.

Moral of the story: KD1 didn't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi Manumission

Do you mean you flashed the KJ2 posted here ?

There is no KJ3 in this thread.

What ROM are you on ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
No, sorry if that wasn't clear - I tried the KD1 on this thread, but it didn't work for me due to the slow speeds, so I grabbed the KJ3 from the list of modems that FB put up (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192436). That seems to give me good speeds while also solving the long-text-message problem.

My ROM is Raver's Octane 3.0.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] g4ry12:
I did a field test with KJ2, and here are the results (quoting from another thread):
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AlexSochi8:
I flashed the kd1 modem and it seems to be running in the background... I recorded my data usage in last 3 days and with this modem I used up 100mb not doing anything... maybe at most I browsed like 10 pages.. no YouTube apps were killed right after use.... before flashing this modem it would take me week and a half to get up to 100mb and that is with pulse always running... browsing more web pages.....

Is it possible that this modem doesn't sleep as stock one does and uses more data? Can someone look into it who has much more experience than me?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi Alex

why don't you close your 3G/4G while not using it ?

at least use some battery defender.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tnygigles66:
I had the same issue. The modem was keeping my phone awake (drained my battery), flashed back to the radio I was using and problem solved.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Not unless you pad the modem file just like he did to the KJ6 modem.

In other words, it should work in theory if you do something special to it, but otherwise don't try to just go and flash it.

I'm gonna add making padded modems to my todo list later today.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] saketh91:
now i reinstalled the rom properly after wiping all cache,data,factory reset etc..

now i have a pure rom(cm7) installed.it is stated that modem(ril) works pretty fine with this rom like gsm,3g,4g.i get the carrier network name but i dont get signal.even if i stand beside a tower there is not even a poor signal i dont know wt to do should i wait for his next release or as you stated you are gonna pad modems

help me please seriously i love this rom but without making calls and messages phone is useless
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
If you had read the entire opening thread for cm7 you would know its in prealpha and not quite ready to be a daily driver. If you need stability use something else.

Also, these modems can not work with cyanogenmod as they are each 15MB and we only have a 14MB partition on CM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
Flashed KJ2 this morning, cleared cache and dalvik, and upon reboot, none of my apps would show up (just got the SD card "ghost" icon). Don't know what happened, so I flashed again, clearing cache and dalvik again, and the same thing. edit - using Valhalla Final with FB's kernel sms-kj6-v0.1.1-rc2+

But even though the apps didn't show up, I pressed one of them and it opened up, and as soon as that happened, ALL the app icons appeared normally again, and they all work.

So far it appears that KJ2 is giving me a better 4g connection vs KJ6. I tested this morning at work (typically a slow 4g area for me) and KJ6 was 1532/1168, and after flashing KJ2 (about an hour later), it tested at 3283/1238.

will test again later, and see how the phone signal holds up at home, where it's usualy very weak and I have to use wifi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
Glad to see that... well, except for the lockup part.. I lose connection on the metrolink in the tunnels in U City and downtown. My wife's G2 seems to have signal there most of the time. I'll try the KD1 this evening on the ride home and see if it helps.
