[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GernBlanston:
If GPS is a requirement, I'd go for a cheap bluetooth GPS, if you can find one that's compatible, and rely on a mobile hotspot if you need data on the road. That being said, I dunno if the bluetooth + wifi problem affects GPS in such a configuration. The Samsung tablet is also a good alternative...that, and a good Windows tablet can be overlaid with RoadRunner or other control and give you a car-oriented interface for Nav and control of music, etc. that rivals a lot of factory control systems. From what I've seen of what's available in android thus far, the options for a control interface in android don't come close to what's available for windows...

My combination of problems differs; I never had a usable GPS, but since the .15 update, I've had no GPS at all (no satellites). That, and the no serial issue, and the bluetooth (A2DP) drops out when streaming audio or video over wifi.

I'm thinking about an RMA, but I'm not encouraged by the reports of effectiveness for forum members that have gone through the process...I'm kinda waiting on the "big announcement" from Gary before I pass judgment on the RMA. I'm kinda hoping on being able to unlock the device at some point, and at least be able to load a custom ROM if I'm stuck with no OTA updates. In the mean time, the tablet makes a great media consumption device and game platform, and I'd like to explore the keyboard option in the near future.

To those with a problem with a car mount: You'd rather someone use a 4.5" Garmin or a dash-mount 7" factory nav? You do know that it's easier to glance at a larger screen when it comes to navigating, right? I don't suggest use of the tablet while driving: Pre-program your routes (and playlists for music) before you go, and pull over for geo-tagging or finding restaurants, etc....but there's no reason a tablet can't be used for in-car purposes, so long as you use a little common sense and foresight. I run a laptop with an in-dash touch screen (7") carputer system, it works fine this way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
I actually purchased cheap Bluetooth GPS to tether to my Prime. I personally find it annoying that I have to carry multiple device & charger... =/

This will ultimately depend on the user...

As for big announcement, don't expect a miracle or hardware "solution" provided by Asus (especially on GPS).

Btw, if the OP can wait.. there are other options.

Such as this one...

Returned mine to Amazon today and now eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Infinity so that I can buy it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
You should be able to RMA it with Asus. If the unit they send as a replacement doesn't meet your needs, sell it on eBay. Even used you should have no problem getting $400-450 for it.

I haven't had any of the issues you have described aside from the poor GPS. WiFi works great, the tablet's performance is smooth and apps run fast with no issue. Also the latest update got rid of the annoying "Browser Not Responding" glitch after I did a factory reset.

FYI, GPS never really worked. It it seemed to either you hadn't really tested it, or the Prime was lying to you :)

If GPS is a necessary feature you will never be happy with the Prime. And yes, I also have an early model (BBOK) with GPS listed as a feature on the box.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kjp1231:
I tested my unit very thoroughly as soon as I got it out of the box. I was consistently getting a very fast lock on to at least 13 satellites inside my house. Not sure how the prime would have lied about that. Since the first update around January 1, I cannot get it to lock on to any sattelites outside my house in a field no matter how I hold the unit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ill1:
I'm not singling out any individual posters either but since you used mine and noted the one that prompted my response then I'll respond to you.

On this forum I come across a lot of threads that get hijacked because of the GPS issue, it's a known problem Asus acknowledged it and took it off spec. You could always ask for a refund or sell it and get one that is better suited for your needs. It would be a completely different thing if Asus hadn't acknowledged it or worse just simply ignored it but they haven't.

No GPS is not an issue for me, but I understand it is for others however Asus has said it may not work properly and should not be considered in place of a professional GPS unit. There are other tablets that may be a better fit for users who need GPS . So I don't believe it's me who's being short sighted.

I never meant to attack anyone if you feel attacked I apologize but I stand by what I wrote.

After updating the system software to the latest (I suppose cause it's prompted by the phone),

the phone rebooted (normal)

the phone says it's installing (normal)

the phone shows the optimizing apps thing (normal)

text messages came in later (normal)

unable to answer call due to not functioning touch screen. (NOT NORMAL)

[Atrix 4G General] g2tegg:
Long story short my Atrix digitizer acts up whenever it gets humid outside. It pretty much becomes useless. With this recent Mexico like heat wave that hit Ontario, I was forced to either upgrade or fix. I decided to upgrade, and try to sell the Atrix.

Which didn't go so well. So I figured I would keep it. As long as it is confined to my air conditioned house it still works great.

What I decided to try to do to it, and yes I am aware it might not be possible, is to push the Atrix beyond the "normal" overclocking boundaries.

As of now the highest I have seen is 1.6Ghz. I want to try to hit 2.0Ghz. Heat is any overclockers worst enemy. I'm currently drawing up some plans for additional cooling.

This project is basically just to see what the limits are for the Tegra 2. It won't look pretty and hell it might just melt on my lab bench but I figure why not.

The only issue I have is writing a custom kernel. I looked at it with a hex editor and I was lost. Is there anyone in the XDA community willing to modify a few kernels for me? I'm interested in the following :

1.7Ghz

1.8Ghz

1.9Ghz

2.0Ghz

This could be based off of faux123 builds (I have already contacted him, awaiting response).

And if it goes well lets see how far we could take this. I don't care if the phone ends up in a melted pile of steel and plastic. At least I tried!

Thanks in advance and flame suit on. I'm curious to hear the remarks!

[Atrix 4G General] Cusa:
I'd give anything to see a Tegra 2 run at 2ghz.
[Atrix 4G General] tasteslikechicken:
The issue with overclocking so high isn't just a heat issue but a stability and voltage issue. The phone will probably not even boot at such high frequencies.
[Atrix 4G General] wingnut76:
Probably won't work how high can the Xoom get? That is probably the highest you will get.
[Atrix 4G General] g2tegg:
Im aware of the obstacles and the obvious fact that it might fail. But you never know. Great part is I dont really care if my atrix blows up. I want to see how far I can push it. Just dont have the skill set to play around with kernals. Thats the only issue.

Ok, I am COMPLETELY lost and have read this forum here from start to finish and still have no idea how to fix my Kindle Fire.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428428

My KF is stuck at the "Kindle Fire" screen, not the triangle screen, or any other screen. I can shut it "off" and turn it "on" but it never gets past that screen. I have installed and tried to run "the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility V1.1" and it always always always gets to the "waiting on device" part. I don't understand how to download or install new drivers or anything of that nature.

If someone could please give me a step by step guide on how to fix my problem that would save me a lot (more) hours of search and failure. I just want it back to normal (un-rooted) and I never should have rooted it in the first place. That was a HUGE mistake from someone who doesn't completely understand this stuff. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you install the drivers using the kfu? Is your kindle showing up in device manager on your computer?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
First thing....scrap the KFU. It's time to learn to use command line tools.

Plug your device into the computer, turned off.

Locate the folder that comes with KFU that has the files called "adb" and "fastboot" and place it on your desktop.

Open your command prompt and type:

cd Desktop/NameofFolderYouPlacedOnDesktop

Turn on your Kindle

In your command prompt type:

fastboot devices

If you see a bunch of numbers move on. If not, reinstall drivers and try again.

Then type:

fastboot -i0x1949 oem idme 4000

Hold down power button until device shuts off

It should restart normally

Then see this thread to find out why you did that:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Let me know how it works out.

[EDIT:] The cool thing about the Kindle Fire is that its virtually unbrickable, short of screwing up the bootloader...which you didn't. So don't worry, its fixable.

If it works out for you and you want to re-root it, I can help you out so you don't get left in the dark. You might even learn something.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamespirit:
Thank you for the reply and assistance in this problem. I am stuck in the middle of the process. Maybe I am doing something wrong. My exact steps I am taking are listed below. To get into the command prompt I type into the "run" section of my computer "cmd" and then it opens up the command prompt.

-Plugged my KF into the desktop turned off

-Drag the entire folder called "tools" from the KU onto the desktop which has the "adb" and "fastboot" files.

-typed in "cd Desktop/tools" and now it shows this on the cmd C:\Users\myname\Desktop\tools>

-I then turn on my KF and type in "fastboot devices"

nothing shows up except C:\Users\myname\Desktop\tools>

-If I just type "fastboot" I get a whole explanation of commands I can input, but no numbers.

-To uninstall my driver and try agian I do the following: go to "device manager" and find my KF which is shown by an exclamation mark. Right click and "Uninstall" Rinse and repeat.

Should I be doing something differently? Thank you again for the help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
No, that's exactly what you should do. You need to get fastboot to connect. In order to do that your drivers need to be working.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamespirit:
Ok, should I just keep uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers until it works or is there another way to fix the driver problem?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
When installing your drivers, did you make sure to choose "I'll select which drivers to install"?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamespirit:
I am clicking on the "install drivers" from the KF utility and then uninstalling from the "device manager" Guess there's more to this driver thing that I'm even more unaware about lol.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Ok , forget about the KFU for a second. Go to your device manager and select update driver.

Then select I'll choose which drivers to install

Browse to the tools folder on your desktop and select...I think it is called adb_driver.ini
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamespirit:
There are no compatable drivers in the "tools" folder. The only one is in the KF utility under drivers and it is called android_winusb.

I am also experiencing a new problem... It is now in a constant state of quick restarts. It turns on, shows the KF start up screen for 4 or so seconds and then shuts down. It is doing this non-stop.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Ok go here and download and unzip this file:

http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/KindleFire/root/KindleFireRoot.zip

look for a file called adb_usb.ini

open it with text editor and type:

then save and install it

I had the same charging issue. B63 help me with this issue. Basically your kindle is not charging successfully. Try using the charger that came with the kindle. It worked for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjg020683:
Im no dev but this is what I did. Plug in your kindle and check if the drivers are installed. If your device shows up as unknown in device manager then that means the drivers are not installed. That's perfectly fine. Now unplug your kindle and power it off. Go to the kfu folder that you extracted and install drivers. Now plug in your device and it should automically power up and your device should show up as kindle in your device manager. If it is showing up go back to to the kfu folder and click run. After clicking the run button your device should show up as offline in adb status and unknown in boot status. That is perfectly fine. Now click on 1. Bootmode menu. Then click on 1 again which is Normal (4000). Your device should reboot after that. That's what worked for me. By the way I'm assuming your using kfu 0.9.5. Good luck and I hope this helps you.

Ugh so many questions to ask (I'm sorry)

1. "If your device shows up as unknown in device manager then that means the drivers are not installed." Mine does not show up as an unknown but it shows up as an android phone and when clicked it is "Android ADB Interface".

2. "your device should show up as kindle in your device manager." I installed the driver but it didn't show up as Kindle in device manager

3. "After clicking the run button your device should show up as offline in adb status and unknown in boot status"

ADB Status: Online

Boot Status: Unknown

4. When I clicked bootmode menu, and typed 1:

"The system cannot find the drive specified"

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dman918:
Hello everyone.

I have a transformer without a ROM on it. All that is on it at this time is Roach's CWM. Therefore, it does not detect my sdcard. How do I push Rogue's CWM into the internal storage so that I can load a ROM onto the tab?

Sorry for the stupid question, but I've been trying to figure out APX and APB modes and it hasn't been working. Not even sure if that is what I need to do. All I know is that I need to get access to my actual SD card so I can flash appropriately.

Thanks for your help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
At this point you need to get ADB working. If you have ADB you can push file to the internal storage.

As for APX, only if you have SBK v1 (B6O and older plus some B7O)

How do I run ADB when I don't have a ROM on the tablet to enable USB debugging?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
IIRC (Not 100% sure) but USB de-bugging is now on by default with ICS.

At least for me when I installed ICS for the first time, went in to turn it on and

it was already on (it was after a full wipe so I know it wasn't from previous setting). Anyway it doesn't hurt try.:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dman918:
That's what I am saying though. I do not have any ROM on the tab. It is wiped clean with only CWM on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
There's been other with the same situations and they pushed a ROM file to internal using ADB.

What about your serial number? If you have an SBK v1 you can use NVFlash.

Either to flash a new ROM or a new recovery that read external sd
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dman918:
I'm downloading NVFlash now in hopes that I can do just that. I'll let you know. Thanks for your help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
adb is enabled independently in recovery. I'm pretty sure it is enable by default in recovery. You should just try it, if Windows tells you something about bad drivers then it's probably enabled. If Windows tells you something about bad mojo, then you have other problems.

Is there a way to do this? Was sending my bro a pic of a ridiculous sandwich and was trying to copy a pic of the ingredients onto the picture of the sandwich itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yollasho:
The included smemo app can do a bit of this.

I didn't see ability to crop but you can quickly overlay two pics. It lets you move them around and resize when you first add them but I don't think you can move them once they're anchored.

Edit-picsay pro lets you do a bit more with resizing and cropping and giving option to erase bits but I still think once its anchored it's done.

The stock gallery has photo editor built in but it seems to suck for anything other than editing a single photo.

There are other apps like LayerDraw I think you'll just have to experiment or buy one.
