[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younix258:
Just realized i meant to post this here

Been using ics passion for a couple months now as a daily driver and havent had many issues, but i recently read about the ics encryptiom bug that basically randomly bricks phones for no reason so im thinking about switching away till its safe...

I just wanna be sure what roms have this bug?

Also whats ics passion based on?

So would it be all ics or just CM9? Nexus ports? Aosp? Gsii?

Thank you in advance

I encountered the deadly "Encryption Unsuccessful" bug while running doc masters ics rom v5. Now I don't know whether this is the case for all ics roms but just to be safe you should stay away from ics altogether. I was never able to fix my vibrant no matter what I did I couldn't bring it back to life...so you've been warned.

Of course things are much better now that I have a new Gnex with official ics 4.0.4 :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younix258:
Very cool about the gnex... for the vibrant, have you tried unbrickable mod?? Maybe itll fix it

You mean Eugene's unbrickable rom? I've tried Eugene's rom with no success. I tell you I tried just about everything...nothing seems to work. Unless you know of some other method which I don't know of.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merio90:
The Jtagging method is not any different than odin. I am able to flash anything through download mode. But not CWM which doesn't exist in my case. I have lost complete access to my internal flash memory...it is unable to mount because it is encrypted with a key in which i don't know. And i don't know how to decrypt it at this point.

The second method which is the hard mod method seems to be a little risky. I won't even bother trying that method since it is useless in my case. You see my phone is not "hard" bricked it is "soft" bricked. With that being said my phone turns on...boots up...i can enter download mode...access stock recovery not CWM...and access external sdcard through adb...thats it.

The only way to save my phone would be to create a temporary partition on my external sd card to act as its main memory. All that while being done through adb commands if even possible. So at this point my phone is complete paperweight until someone finds a solution.

I think this will eventually become a widespread problem sooner or later on all ICS roms. When the time comes somebody out there on these forums will eventually find a solution. Or at least i hope.

Thanks for the help guys i really appreciate it but my phone is bricked for now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younix258:
from my understanding, both jtag and unbrickable mod start at the primary bootloader level and rewrite everything up from there, which i would assume includes sdcard too..

Are you sure youre not confusing jtag with jig??

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merio90:
My mistake. But i see that they charge $40 to fix your phone. There is no way I'm sending my phone to those guys. I have some personal data on my vibrant that I'll never let anybody get a hold of such as credit card info etc.

I am much happier now with my new Galaxy Nexus. I don't really care about my bricked vibrant that much anymore. But i still plan on fixing it in the near future when somebody comes up with a solution that is free of charge.

I sent mine to them for a broken USB port, I just wiped beforehand just in-case (even though I left a backup). If I can't fix something myself, it's better to pay a little for it, than to have to buy a new phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merio90:
True but the problem is that i can't wipe the internal storage because i don't have access to it. I can only wipe the external sd...but why do that when you can simply remove it.

Yeah youre sorta screwed.. even tho i dont think think theyll have any way of reading whats on your sd lol, i still understand why you wouldnt

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
We know, we know. Better wifi/gps. But what else?

On my list would be:

Battery/energy performance improvements - When I watched the tegra 3 videos for months before it came out I expected a steep increase in battery life performance over my tf101. Although the processor is faster - the battery life is about the same as my tf101, if not slightly worse. 28nm tegra 4 SoC's may improve this - but when I say improvements I want real improvements, not just what apple did with the ipad 3, improve the tablet but not the battery, just put a bigger battery in instead.

GPU improvements over display improvements - This is sort of related to the first improvement. I still fail to see the need for a 1080p+ screen on such a small device. It's a battery killer and 720p is sufficient, maybe a little more would be nice, but what's more important is the gpu. I see the need for a faster gpu, gaming is still in the ps2 / xbox phase - we need to jump up to current day graphics. I can live happily with a 720p display with more battery life and better graphics capabilities.

Less bezel. Self explanatory.

Ability to add folder shortcuts to the homescreen in the stock file manager. This is an essential feature.

More RAM. Even the crappiest netbooks on the market are upgradeable to 4gb, a little more wouldn't hurt.

USB on tablet. An edge the tfp has over the ipad is memory expansion. There is cloud software available - but weening mobile users off of usb isn't going to happen any time soon.

And most importantly...

Production. Asus won't let themselves succeed, they always second guess their products and then on release they are impossible to obtain. Preorders on both the tf101 and prime were backed up for weeks if not months. Asus, manufacturer more than enough to meet the demands of consumers because it's embarrassing when apple can move 3m ipads in 3 days but you can't make a hundred thousand in 3 months. If you can't meet demand - your sales won't increase.

I'm hoping next generation of Asus tablets after infinity pad will have Tegra4 in it. that will be even greater battery life and a dramatic boost in CPU and GPU performance. ill be holding on to my prime till then. nothing I've seen out from the competition makes me want to get rid of the Prime or seem more powerful than it. but honestly I get great battery life on my prime considering how much I use it and the kind of games and emulators I'm running on it. I easily get 10hrs. + battery life. Some may think this battery life not good enough but its the best Android has right now. Prime has the longest lasting battery of any tablet out now. according to Asus own specs, prime will still have better battery life than the Infinity pad or the new 300. the 300 actually has the shortest battery life, I believe. I could be wrong. but I know prime has the longest lasting battery life of all Asus tablets out now or coming out! that's been announced
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
Quality test the mess out of their next device, if any problem is spotted via web browsing, opening apps, connecting it to a larger TV monitor. Then they need to hold off until releasing it until they get it resolved.

The Transformer Prime should have shipped with all issues ironed out. So the consumer don't have to deal with these issues. Apple does this for it's iphone and iPad, ASUS should have done this or the Transformer Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Billyvnilly:
Default file manager is not perfect. Would love to see improvements aka incorporate what ES and Astro have been doing for a long time.

Better Inputs. The microSD card sticking out is stupid. Just make it more recessed. Same for the Audio jack, only half of it is in, the rest is exposed. Some times I drop audio in one ear, not sure, but I bet its due to this.

Better default features for lockscreen.

Speaker placement, maybe we need two speakers? The location is not great.

Keyboard keys on dock feel cheap. they are light, but when the battery already weighs what it weighs, just give me nicer keys.

WTF. How could ASUS let those chargers out of the factory. If they are plugged in one way, and you hold your tablet, it gives you a fuzzy jolt!

The tilting mechanism of the tablet on the dock kinda makes the tablet fall backwards when open. all the weight of the device is right at the back... it falls backwards all the time for me.

The build quality of the dock. If you pick it up from the side where the tablet docks, the underside metal bows & will make a clicking sound for me. The four rubber circles on the bottom of the dock aren't even! If i set my docked tablet on the table, it will still slide around cuz only 2 rubbers are on the counter.

I would always be happier with more RAM

I would like a better ASUS manager, which CRASHES all the time.

The screen bulging is annoying.

Its bad, the list can go on and on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
Yeap, the tf300/infinity have less battery life from the slide I saw a while back. I don't know why it's that way for the tf300, it should be on par with the tf101 and prime. The tf700 is more obvious, and is one of the reasons I think the 1080p+ screens are a step backwards for mobile devices. But the 4g is also to blame, for shorter battery life. I can't blame asus for that - carriers won't touch the wifi only prime, so with mobile data plans available to the tf700 it will help revenue. At least they won't have to market crappy galaxy tabs or xooms anymore.

The best option in my opinion is a 4g hotspot from clearwire, unlimited data for $45 a month, doesn't drain your tablet battery, you can charge it off the dock in your bag while you use your tablet separately, and it works for more than one device.

Tegra 4 isn't going to impact tablets as much as it will impact netbooks. The 8 core batman version of wayne will be for ultrabooks/netbooks and the robin version will be for tablets & phones. If you've paid any attention to netbooks lately - they're still lacking in the cpu and graphics department, and amd/intel are the big contenders in that department - which is why nvidia has alot to gain by offering an energy efficient 8 core ARM SoC for windows 8 netbooks.

Nvidia is moving forward from taking AMD on in the graphics department and hitting them where it will hurt in the cpu market. And everyone knows intel atom processors are complete ****, so x86/x32 on ultrabooks/netbooks may become a thing of the past if Nvidia can pull this off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
I forgot to mention the microsd card in OP, glad you posted that.

Completely agree on the headphone jack, when I plug my headphones in and put my tablet in my bookbag the headphone connector shimmys it's way out and the audio cuts. It's only been doing this recently though. My fix was to just put the tablet in my bag with the jack facing down so the weight of the tablet keeps it in, not worried about my cables because they are Kevlar reinforced with a slanted jack.

I think speakers on mobile devices are a lost cause to be honest. Laptop speakers have sucked for years and they've had far more room to work with than tablets do. I won't ever be pleased with the speakers on a phone/tablet/laptop until I can hear the subbass frequencies that only my 12 inch sub or pricey beyerdynamic headphones can provide. Which is why my inner audiophile will say it's better just to go out and buy a nice set of headphones if audio quality is a concern.

Chiclet keys are a bit on the annoying side, but they're still usable. I just wish the tablet wasn't so much thicker than the dock, I wish they were even, perhaps cram some extra batteries or speakers in there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
Two words above all else;

Quality Control

Do not release buggy products, test the features you plan to advertise well in advance of the actual product release.

After that?

More RAM. 2 GB minimum. 4 would be better. And worth paying for.

Next up, 16/32 is a fine size to choose from for ROM (on board storage). I bought a 64 GB Prime and have used 8GB. I download apps extensively and never uninstall or delete anything. Maybe I'm missing something here, I don't do much video or take a lot of pics, or have a lot of audio files on my tablet. OTOH, I have a 32gb micro SD card in the dock (with adapter), and would be perfectly content putting pics, movies, short vids, etc, on there.

To the OP, the current bezel is fine. If you never take it out of the dock I could see wanting a smaller bezel, but part of the appeal of the Transformer series is that you CAN take it out of the dock. And when you do remove it, the current size of bezel means you can handle it easily (even with my large hands) without pressing the screen and opening/closing all sorts of apps.

The one physical layout of the Prime that I would change is that there is a button or control or cable plugin on each of the 4 sides.

This means that you have no where to rest if it is charging and you have an audio cable plugged in while you hold it to do something like play a game. I would put the audio plug, volume controls, HDMI plug, and power button all on one side. Leave the USB/Charging port where it is for convenience of keyboard docking. This means you have a short side and a long side that you can choose to rest on the table while playing a game, and you don't have to fight the cables or be concerned about setting the tablet on the power or volume buttons (and either messing up your volume or, worse yet, turning the power off) while doing so.

Edit:

I also forgot about the MicroSD slot. Leaving the (expensive) card half way out to be pressed by random objects and fired across the room by the ejection spring is a very, very poor design decision. If you insist on keeping the curve of the tablet shell put a "half moon" indentation in the shell to allow pressing the fully recessed MicroSD card in for release.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reNeglect:
You think iPhone's and iPad's don't have issues of there own? Nothing is perfect. iPhone 4s even with the new antennae design it still has the death grip issue. The new iPad, Yellow-ish tinted screens, overheating, poor wifi.

Lots of things could be added i mean instead of a spring loaded microsd why not a microsim like tray for the microsd?

Some Quality control would be nice, wouldn't scared off some potential customers and retailers.

The Bezel is fine to be honest how else would you hold and rest your thumbs on the screen? While yes they could develop more into the software and have it reject the thumb, Its just not reasonable.

Also a full sized usb you said? How else can they make the device so thin? Maybe a micro usb, but i don't think it can transfer enough data/power while docked.

Display? Well Asus TFP Infinity self-explanatory for the media junkies such as I.

2Gb Ram, better for the multi-tasking android supports and features.

Speakers on the side, eg Galaxy Tab 10.1 first gen.

Metal or more high quality Chiclets keys on the keyboard.

I just hope somehow someway they will get to use a better GPU on the infinity because tegra 3 is great cpu wise, while it does lack a lot in the gpu department. I mean it has to power a 1080p display and it already lags abit on the prime in some games.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
I don't believe usb port would add to the thickness of a device, the dock is thinner than the tablet and can fit a usb port with room to spare.

There is a need for a bezel, just a smaller one would be nice. I have average sized hands and the bezel is still rather wide for my thumbs, about 70% of the current size would be acceptable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
I didn't say Apple products don't have issues. You're missing the point and that's that ASUS did very little quality testing on the TFP with ICS to the point that most of us can't even do basic things like utilizing the web browser, or launching and switching between native apps without the system going bugard with problems.

If one can pick up a competitor product and start surfing the web without experiencing the load stall, wait close response, or abrupt-reboot when switching or launching other default installed apps then that points to a serious problem with the quality control at ASUS and Google.

As I said in another thread, Android 4.0 is a major let down in user experience. To me it makes the most ridiculed Microsoft operating systems of the past (Windows Vista, Windows Millennium) look good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>You're missing the point and that's that ASUS did very little quality testing on the TFP

There is QC. You're it. :)

>The best option in my opinion is a 4g hotspot from clearwire, unlimited data for $45 a month

lolwut.. I don't think that's good at all...only paying me $45 to use unlimited data. $90 sounds much better.

>The 8 core batman version of wayne will be for ultrabooks/netbooks and the robin version will be for tablets & phones

Pee-wee version for $199 tablet.

>micro-SD slot

Asus should do the same as GPS...take it out! MicroSD? We don't need no stinkin' micro sd..

What's the one thing that all best-selling tablets have in common?

Ya got it! No micro-SD!

Conclusion: MicroSD slot is holding Prime back from greatness!

Allow unlock with out voiding hardware defect aspect of warranty. I can put a cold air intake on my car and if the power windows stop working I still have a warranty, just saying.

Also,

Now this is a HUGE one.

PUT ANOTHER SOC IN THE DOCK!! With Nvidias SLI technology that would be awesome! Even if it is just the GPU aspect of the tablet. With these SOCs costing about $20, have a "premium" dock priced at $200.

I would buy one in a heartbeat!

That's different, look at all those Smarties posting in general and q & a asking really smart questions if Asus didn't void the warranty, they would just RMA because they screwed up their own tablet. As a business that's not very smart idea.

Better? Well, jam in an extra processor or ten, a few(10) gigs of ram, up the battery and up the display to qhd(quad hd).

Has anyone tried the camera since the update? The main back-facing camera is all screwed up. Display is scrambled and sometimes reboots the prime. The front-facing camera works OK though. This is frustrating.

Bootloader still locked and unrooted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
My camera is working fine after the update. Have you tried rebooting the Prime? Have you tried resetting the Camera app by deleting its data? Other than that the only things you might try are a factory reset and if that doesn't help, RMA the Prime.

mine works fine
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reNeglect:
What the other guys said. Go into settings -> Apps -> All -> Camera -> Clear Cache/Data then hit force close. Then try the app again, if its still the same then you might have to factory reset.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dafob:
RMA

Thanks for all the replies. After soft and hard resets, problem persists. I noticed others are having the same issue w/ the camera and I don't think it's related to the OTA update. It's a coincidence I noticed it after the update since I haven't touched the camera in months.

Called ASUS and sending the tablet back for repair.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] osunsanseun:
I have the same exact issue. So there is nothing else i can do except RMA? I really dont want to part with the tablet for over a month.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] babymatteo:
It could really just be Software problem. I wouldn't send it in. I'd say unlock bootloader and flash Primalicious ROM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] genuine:
Oh, nhf, but this is a bit odd and a risky advice...

There is a method to check if this is a hardware problem - if you can temporarily repair picture with light squeezing/pressing around camera (front and back) than it's definitely not a software problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] babymatteo:
He said it started happening after update to .21 so i really doubt it's a hardware malfunction. Something like this happened to my Galaxy Nexus after doing an OTA update to 4.0.4. I had the bootloader locked and unrooted. Yet after doing the update several things were messed up, including the camera having colorful lines all over. Then, i unlocked my bootloader and flashed a stock rooted ROM and all was well. Yes it may seem odd, but it did work for me. And yes i know its a completely different device, but his experience was kinda similar to mines. I'm thinking that somehow somewhere during the OTA update, something went wrong.
