[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithrandir007:
I also got a BCOKAS serial, and here's my feedback :

Wifi works great for me, even 30 meters away from the house in my garden with no windows or doors open.

It works as well as my phone (HTC HD2 with a Gingerbread ROM), the only difference I've noticed is in my office : with my HD2, there is 1 wifi router that it detects but the signal is too weak to be able to connect to it, and the Asus can't see that one at all. Besides that, it works just as well.

Bluetooth works, but I've only tried it when testing the GPS bluetooth tethering with my phone once.

I never tested Wifi while it was enabled though.

GPS : It locks to a lot of satellites (around 10 when I'm inside my house to 13 when outside) but the signal is not good. I can't use it for navigation since it loses the signal when it moves too fast.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keonikapila:
My Prime's WiFi signal is consistently weaker than the WiFi signal on my cellphone, but its never been a problem for me, I can still connect to the internet and stream video/music from anywhere in my house.

GPS: I never did any extensive testing with this...indoors I can't get a signal at all and outdoors I can see a few satellites, but I never got a lock (to be honest, I never gave it a whole lot of time). It was kind of a bummer, but my phone has GPS so it wasn't a deal-breaker for me.

WiFi/Bluetooth: I never NOTICED any WiFi degradation with Bluetooth enabled, but all I really use the Bluetooth for is pairing to my phone to use the TabletTalk app and occasionally the GPS over BT app.

Games work fine, some games occasionally get glitchy and freeze and/or FC, but they're usually fine after a reboot.

My MicroHDMI-output works fine, but I sometimes have to jiggle the cable a little to get the sound to play through it (this might just be a problem with the cable though, I bought a cheapie one off the net)

The only issue that bothers me is the touchscreen...One of the first apps I bought when I got the Prime was SketchBook...its usable, but I was disappointed with the sensitivity and resolution of the touchscreen for drawing and handwriting. I've played around with the TouchScreenTune app, but I haven't found any settings that I really like.

Overall though I'm happy with my Prime and don't have any problems recommending it when people ask me about Android tablets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
Wifi is fine, on par with my Asus notebook and better then my G2 and HP laptop, able to connect to a router 50 ft away with good speed

GPS - Not that stellar, can see satelite, but give location within 50 ft.

WF+BT - Work fine

Beside the GPS, the device work fine, I did had he sleep on death issue with .15, but so far, haven't had any problem with the device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moonshot1968:
Wifi not bad.

Using wifi analyzer get 40-50 dbs 6 ft from router. Drops to 65-70 dbs upstairs, which is acceptable .

Bluetooth works fine. Never a problem when tethering with my Iphone in non-wifi areas. But it has been a little buggy since the .21 update.

GPS is kind of a joke . No locks indoors but can lock up to 13 outdoors on a good day. But locks are weak which makes navigation nearly impossible.

Sent my prime RMA on April 2nd due to camera not working after .21 update. Included a wifi and gps fix as well to the RMA. I'm hoping my timing is good with all this talk of wifi/gps fixes in the works. Why not? Right?

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Having serious Prime withdrawl right now. I love it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Wifi is good with decent range (throughout the house), seems to be getting better reception with recent updates.

Bluetooth, don't use and have not tested

GPS, originally saw a few birds with Honeycomb which went away with ICS. The dev change now allows me to get locks and maintain them while driving (not the greatest accuracy though).

I have a few bright pixels that I am dealing with until ASUS gets everything worked out, at which point I will RMA.

I have noticed that the launcher seems to crash more with the latest update, but it recovers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
Mine works good but not great(WiFi). It's acceptable until I purchase something else.GPS does OK.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mopar400:
Wifi good anywhere in the house - ATT Uverse

GPS = 0
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bad.bad.bad:
BCOKAS (TW) since December

Before the recent updates, I had a smooth experience with almost no issues (save for a rare case of screen flickering).

After the update, my battery life seems to have been slightly affected. A few times, the device turns hot when left alone with WiFi on.

WiFi range has not changed and is still a bit weak (5m away from router and not even a full signal). And when actively transferring files via bluetooth, WiFi signal drops down to 0-1 bar. Didn't notice though if this BT+WiFi issue had been present even before the update.

The browser Wait issue seems to appear frequently now compared to the pre-update status. My Prime rarely had this issue before, even when opening 8-10 browser tabs.

Overall, I'm not happy with the recent updates. I really love my Prime, but they simply are not giving it the right optimizations at the moment.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SquirrelDroid:
My BCKOAS is close to my Droid Bionic in Wifi (both work in most of our house, the TP is slightly less reliable at the extreme opposite end of the house from the router); at work, there is a lot of WiFi noise (WiFi Analyzer shows about a dozen APs) and I sometimes see marginal WiFi connection on my phone, the TP seems be connect solidly most/all of the time.

I have not had a "need" to use the GPS, but sitting here in my living room, GPS Status shows 9/12 or 11/13 satellites when my Bionic won't lock at all. I'll try it tomorrow in my truck and see how it works when moving.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dpwhitty11:
BCOKAS here.

Wifi is perfect (on par with my phone and laptop)

Gps didn't exist at first (I was one of the people who modded the antennas, I got bored lol).

Wifi 7bluetooth halves wifi speeds, but still perfectly usable.

Browser has occasional freezes (maybe once or twice a day, consistent on certain sites).

No reboots.

No screen bleed.

No graphical glitches.

Very satisfied.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fazerrider:
BCOKAS Netherlands

Hi there,

I have my BCOKAS bought on the Dutch introduction day, 7 january.

Wifi works fine, used to be about the same speed as my HP DVD6 laptop. Is about 75% of laptop speed after the last update. At now my HTC Sensation (custom rom) is by far the speediest.

GPS: worked great outside, after some updates also inside.

Bluetooth works fine.

Bluetooth with Wifi on works, but reduces the Wifi speed significiantly.

Browser freezes a few times per hour.

Some reboots, mostly during video playback.

No screen bleed.

No graphical glitches.

But all the same, very content with the prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Prettymuch the same here.

Great wifi speed at close range, but it turns to crap when I step out of the room.

GPS is dead as a doorknob, not a single satellite pops up.

Fortunately no significant lockup problems though, less then once a day.

Despite the flaws im still fairly happy with it, and the mention of asus doing a free flushfitting GPS dongle is nice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kodess:
GPS has never worked for me.

WiFI works decent up to 15 feet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] monkey10120:
Wifi: same signal strength as every other device in my house. Much stronger if modded.

Gps: inside is crap. One step outside my door and up to 14 sats in less then 30 sec.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ttav:
My one is working fine.

Wifi is as good as my Sensation.

GPS works fine outdoors but not needed:)

Can`t remember my last unforced reboot.

Overall i`m very happy with my Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dandrep:
Another BCOKAS owner

Overall, I love my Prime, but...

GPS worked ok twice, ever.

WiFi is passable, but not as good as most of my other devices.

From day one I have gotten a regular FC from Media popup. I have tried all of the normal remedies and yet it still plagues me, regularly while using my Prime.

I got a Gamestop Prime, with apps that can never be updated. I think they may be the cause of the FC (see above).

All other problems have improved over the months.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
My wifi range is horrible unless I'm close to a router, or carry my mifi 4G LTE device.

Wifi + Bluetooth headphones = equals nightmare video streams.

GPS, worthless

Android 4.0 is a buggy, slow beast, the stock browser is a No Response, Wait/Close joke.

Chrome Beta is a joke.

Youtube with the latest firmware update can't go 10 seconds without buffering.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] David522d:
I think us Bcokas owners should be upgraded to a C3/C4 Future model, that apparently has good wifi
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdcolby:
WiFi is quite a bit weaker than my laptop. It seems to have trouble as a DCHP client and I sometimes have to manually enter needed ip addresses.

GPS is useless. I have never seen more than 1 satellite even outdoors. I am a geocacher and munzer so would really like a functioning GPS.

I use multiple browsers with no problems.

Bluetooth usage doesn't seem to interfere with WiFi.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wolfc70:
Bcokas model here, had since mid January.

Wifi= acceptable, barely. About the same as my iPhone 4, so just above craptacular but below good

Bt= don't really use.

Gps= none. I can get 4-5 sats in veiw after 10 minutes. Can not use in car or indoors.

Other than that, i love my prime. Wifi is good enough that I'm afraid to rma it, mainly due to the bad rma stories on here. Screen is perfect, no light bleed at all. .21 fixed the random crashes and reboots, for the most part. It will still reboot every few weeks, which is about the same as Windows 7. Other than the sometimes wonky wifi, i have no regrets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] houtx2:
Had mine since late Dec.

Wifi - ok

Bt - don't use

Gps - very frustrating, on some OTA releases it kinda works, on others, nothing.

Bottom line, love my tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skyterrier:
my Bcokas got struck with the continuous reboot issue when the last OTA update was applied. It was RMA'd and the main system board was replaced. Before sending it, WiFi was mediocre; 5 to 10 db less than shown on my DX. This was using WiFi Analizer and monitoring my three or four closest neighbors WiFi signals. With the new system board my Prime is now a solid 10 db greater than my Motorola Droid X. I am assuming that my Bcokas now has one of the latest system boards with the improved WiFi. GPS locks onto 10 to 12 satellites but isn't usable while moving. It will sorta track you at relatively slow speeds but anything over 20 or 30 MPH it has lost all satellites. Anything between 30 and 200 MPH it won't even find one satellite. Yes the 200 MPH wasn't a typo:D. I bought my TP to use in my plane as an electronic flight bag to replace all of the aeronautical charts i have to carry with me.

The GPS Dongle is a great solution to the WiFi issues as it will let me use the TP for the reasons I bought it in the first place. Since purchase it has pretty well replaced my laptop computer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blazeitup123:
Wifi 22mbps dl max on n router w 25mbps conncetion. 2.5 up.

Bt works but hoses dl speeds.

Gps is dead. Saw 2 sats once a month ago.

Camera just broke yesterday, green screen then backed out pushes camera again took one picture then nothing. Camera app wont even open. A hard pinch will get it to work but i dont want to crack the screen. I just submitted an rma 5 mins ago and hope they will take it back. I am unlocked.

So not really any issues for the first 3 months. I really love my prime, the broken camera is a bit of a hit to the ball sack but hey, maybe i get new mobo!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sledgie:
My BCOKA works but barely....

Wifi drops to 5-10Mbps 12-15 feet from router.

BT is craptacular. Paired with no wifi on works within the specs of BT - ~30ft. With wifi on skips, out of sync, wifi fails and drops to nothing. Defeats the purpose. On the .11 firmware, Apple BT keyboard would work with wifi, could still keep connection at 5Mbps- 1Mbps. Paired with Apple BT keyboard and Logitech V470 BT mouse, wifi would fail after about 2 minutes. The Apple BT keyboard was the only thing i could use without it dropping completely. After .11 firmware, the Apple BT keyboard wouldn't stay connected anymore.

GPS - as experienced this past week, I was at the Canandaigua Finger Lakes and it said I was in NC. No birds, really. 1-2 birds if no clouds and beautiful weather. Very envious of Skyterrier....both because of plane and new mobo
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nomad 666:
Mine is fine. Zero GPS. WiFi is as good as any of my devices. I'm BCOKAS. Haven't rooted etc.. but for some unknown reason I want to take it apart.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfarinella:
I'm on BC0KAS, rooted.

WiFi works fine, sometimes it drops out and all I do is switch the WiFi off and on again - this is rare. It also works great when I tether it to my Thunderbolt (rooted) phone.

Don't care about GPS, I have a Thunderbolt for that.

Skype works great.

No re-boots or sleep of death since .21.

I get 1 browser crash every few days at most. Stuff just seems stable

Battery life is more than acceptable. I didn't change my WiFi settings, have GPS and BT off and I get at least 2 1/2 days on low to moderate use.

I never use BT. If I need to listen to a movie I use my Bose and plug in.

I would love it if the WiFi worked a bit better but right now my TFP is everything I expected it to be.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Justin_Thyme:
Ive had mine since the begining of Jan. GPS is inoperable, wifi works well at home because my home is saturated but not so well in other places. Last hotel I stayed in I got no connection at all but did connect with laptop and crackberry with half bars. Ive had no issues of reboots, lockups, etc that part works fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
WiFi poor, GPS nonexistent, BT/WiFi not as bad as it used to be but still some serious degradation of speeds.

I was having some reboot issues on .15 I believe, but haven't had anything like that since .21.

Battery life: back to what it used to be. Yesterday night was the first time I charged the Prime in over 3 days.

Using Dolphin HD for all my browsing and it's been great, but I wish there was a browser that actively let you modify the user agent OR maybe even let you specify what user agent you wanted to use for specific domains. Any suggestions?

Haven't been gaming much because Gameloft are arses.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MK17:
For reference, you can get a full refund from Asus telling them you are unhappy with performance of the GPS and all.

But, I wouldn't be so sure that it could cure your woes. I requested a refund on a BC0KAS after the RMA process took well over a month and I saw that others weren't even getting there SN unkown fixed at times.

I received a C3 from Amazon and was happy until I went to my hometown and realized I could hardly use the the C3 tablet in our living room (router is in the corner of the house and upstairs). I didn't have this problem with my BC0KAS. Asus ended up sending me back the tablet before issuing my refund so I ran test on both. My BC0KAS did have more signal degradation than my Galaxy Nexus, but was still 2x as fast as the C3 with a better ping. At one point in my house the C3 lost connection while the BC0KAS and the Nexus still were holding up.

Anyways, just wanted to point out that even the Cx serials do have issues as well. I'm now sending it back to Amazon and keeping my BC0KAS. I have a thorough test I performed and hope to post up, I just haven't had time to complete the graphs and write it up. I hope to sometime this week.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sgosnell:
The wifi on my Prime works fine, with or without bluetooth on. It may show a bar or so less than my laptop, but who knows what a bar means on different devices. I get good performance all over the house, as well as outside on the patio, and I can also connect in the driveway in my car. BCOKAS serial number, bought in early January.

DolphinHD, as well as most other browsers, including Boat, will let you modify the user agent. It's in the settings.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
I am running condemned sense ROM, I want to try Google talk, but its not in the market, I searched the internet for the apk for our phone, I also searched here, but I have no pc and am on my phone and search on the xda app sucks, does anyone know where to get it?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aeroevan:
Google talk should be in the gapps you flash, but it sounds like yours didn't have it?

The one's on goo should.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
Yeah I didn't flash g apps as I'm running sense not aosp
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CondemnedSoul:
Which sense ROM? Talk should be there....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
Sabatoge sense v1.4
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
Try reflashing. It should already be there.
[HTC Wildfire S] striker280:

Others may have asked this before but which system apps are safe to move from the root explorer(like facebook, and flickr)?
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
DO A BACKUP BEFORE YOU DELETE/MOVE ANY FILES!!

You have been warned!!!

You can move them to your microSD in case you want them back instead of deleting them.

Remember to wipe the Dalvik Cache and System Cache from CWM after removing them.

Here is the ones I was able to remove without adverse issues.

[HTC Wildfire S] striker280:
why do i need to wipe the cache after?

and about how much free space did you gain?

thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
The wipe reestablishes the current apps and clears additional space that was used by the removed apps.

I gained 128MB after all those where removed, before installing any of my apps.

Personally after I removed those apps I did a factory reset.

Welcome
[HTC Wildfire S] Deleted member 4526420:
Wow!

That's a lot of stock apps you removed. The only app i removed is the "Stocks" app.

[HTC Wildfire S] striker280:
so you guys removed them using root explorer?

an should i remove or just move the app?
[HTC Wildfire S] seaskyways:
use es-file explorer , give it root perms , go to app manager , anf select the filter i guess to all , there you can delete any system app and the ES will automatically backup the system app you've deleted ...
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
I used Root Explorer, created a folder on my microSD card then moved the unwanted apps to that folder. Try to kill the app before moving it so not to get FCs while moving. You can do the in Setting -> Applications -> Manage application -> All.
[HTC Wildfire S] striker280:
do you think that it would be good to move apps that can be downloaded from the play store (like youtube, maps)

and then redownload them later from the store?
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Or you can move them(newer version) into the system/app folder and removing the older version(first) to give you more room on the user data partition.
[HTC Wildfire S] striker280:
does removing the app still give me the same amount of free space as moving to sd?
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Yes...but better to move for now in case you want it back for some reason.
[HTC Wildfire S] striker280:
sorry for so many questions but when i wipe system cache in cwm, is it wipe cache partition?
