Glad it seems to work so far. Alot of times, a reset will clear up any software mishaps that happen. Same as with installing some apps. They usually tell you that if you experience issues, try rebooting/reseting to clear issue up. The device restarts with the program or whatever more settled in.

It really shouldn't matter. I guess you could try it with it on but probably won't make a difference.

Kinda/sorta..lol. soft reset is a more drastic reboot, IMO. its usually used if the prime freezes up or starts acting up alot. You even have another kind that I believe is called a cold boot or a hard boot or something. That involves holding power button and volume down at the same time(while power is still on, I believe) until prime reboots. Then keep hold it until you see some lettering across the top of the screen. Then let go. Then it'll say device will reset/reboot if nothing is pressed within a few seconds.

I always do it in order if the previous one didn't work or fix problem. A regular reboot(power off then on again), then a soft reset, then a cold/hard boot.

How long did it take to receive the dongle?

I signed up for the free dongle almost a month ago and still have yet to receive it, and my ASUS account shows only that my request has been submitted... How long did it take you to receive this dongle?

UPDATE: I still have yet to receive this...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Then you submitted it 10 days ahead of its actual release, you should really only be counting from the 16th. That means it's only been 7 business days since the dongle has been shipping. That's not much.

Plus it seems to me that everyone who registered early seems to be in the same boat. I ordered 4/17 and am also in the same boat; something makes me think they're going to try and deny it or something since I listed the date I actually received the Prime in the mail as the purchase date. Not really, lol, I'm sure I'll get it, just wish it would hurry up >.>

On the 30th (1st for me) is when everyone should start making a real fuss. 10 business days is plenty of time to get something like this shipped out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flub:
I submitted mine on the 16th still saying being processed !!

I will be very surprised if they do ship out by the 30th. Asus yet again proves they could not arrange a piss up in a brewery.

They should not have announced etc untill they was in position to deliver. Seems 99% of people who have got them are American, haven't heard one person from UK say they have shipped status yet alone received it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
Got my kit today. I'm just posting to let everyone know that I won't be using it. One, because I'm too classy to have a gigantic police-wannabe console in my car as a GPS unit. And two, because I'm not hippy enough to aimlessly explore woods and essentially emulate homeless people in a park.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
The main problem is your location. When the boat leaves China, first it has to navigate past the troubled waters by the Koreas and Indonisia. Once clear of that, it will wait for a Naval ship to be near it in case of Pirates by Somalia. Once clear of that, it has to time it's trip around the African Cape with good weather....Once past that...again wait for Naval protection as it goes up the Abrian sea, thru the Suez Canal. After it clears the Suez, it again has to be careful of the flareups in the Mid-East. After it clears all that, it's clear sailing (or steaming) to England. However, once it gets there, it is again delayed because it has to wait for a slot to clear in port since all the slots are taken up with ships unloading parts and equipment for the Olympics. But first, Perishable food comes first.

Hope this helps explain the difficulty you have.

Well aren't you special. Thanks for sharing. :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ragesoss:
I've also had a series of reboots with the dongle, often while the tablet idle and the screen off. A hard reboot didn't help. I'll try a soft reset with the dongle on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flub:
What a Patronising post

I am 45 years old not 5

Like I said They should not have announced etc untill they was in position to deliver
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ragesoss:
A soft reset didn't solve the reboot issue for me. Whenever the dongle is in, my tablet is liable to reboot, whether it's actively working or idle. Reboots appear to be independent of power mode and whether satellite location service is on or off.

I noticed early on that it also wasn't autorotating, but I think only before the first reboot. I didn't notice any extraordinary battery drain, although I didn't have it on for all that long.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmcnabb2:
I just got my dongle today but sadly it doesn't seem to be hardly doing anything. It took around a minute or two before it got a lock and it still only got a few of em.

Its not rebooting or anything from what I've seen. Gonna reboot it again and let it settle to see if it does better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JayRBytheway:
i used the dongle my whole way to work this morning using the gps test and google maps. worked flawlessly. it took me an hour to get there and i checked my battery as soon as i got to my desk and it was at 96% power. ill def take that. HOWEVER, i do listen to music all day at work and at around 3 this afternoon i checked my battery and it was at 36%. thats not normal. that much drain from just using poweramp, wifi off and in balanced mode...... doesnt add up. ill be doing battery tests for the next week or so i guess.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JayRBytheway:
i registered early, the day of the leak actually and got mine yesterday. the VIP site showed mine as shipped this past thursday. did you get a call from ASUS about registering early?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boyboi1234:
Dongle doesn't work

I received my dongle today and at max i would get 1-2 satellites. But i also noticed that its the same with wifi on. I have tried to reset the tablet as well. Any suggestions?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JayRBytheway:
I just had more random reboots with the dongle on. I never have them without the dongle. Ugh.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you said after your trip, once you got to your desk, you was at 96%. now if you left the dongle and GPS on the whole day and did other things, i could see your battery dropping that low. Now if you took the dongle off and cut GPS off, after you got to your desk, and then battery drained after doing the things you said, then its not the dongle. Either way asus advices to not leave the dongle on if its not in use to minimize battery drainage. Dongle isn't meant to be left on the prime 24/7. Only attach it when needed and immediately take it off once your done.

gps dongle does way better than that. that sounds like you using internal gps chip. id think its likely you didnt properly attach or activate the dongle. are you on latest .21 stock rom? did you make sure to put the slider on lock after attaching the dongle(from what ive seen and heard from others, this is needed and makes a difference)? check all those things and soft reset again to see if it works. it has to be attached and in lock position on the dongle itself.

this leads me back to what i responded to your quote. how is this occurring? are you actually leaving this dongle on for extended periods of time when you really not using it for GPS.? Asus even clearly states that dongle is to be removed when not in use.

maybe there still needs to be fine tuning in supporting software for the dongle. but i haven't experienced a reboot yet caused by the dongle. ill test this out some more this week. i plan on comparing my engineer sample dongle to the one all of us received in the mail.. i want to see if one performs better than the other. i know my engineering sample that i tested out for Asus works very well. I haven't even opened the new factory dongle i received by fed ex, yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 24dupo24:
I registered for my dongle on the 19th. Today the 24th it said it has shipped. Don't fret, it'll get to you guys!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thenrz:
Had a few random (and obviously gps kit caused) reboots at first. This was after one reboot after attaching it the first time. Rebooted each time i let the tab go to sleep in gps test with gps on and locked (10/13 indoors, bittersweet moment).

Reset via pinhole, then abruptly shut off for a few minutes. Has not happened since, but then again, i've been avoiding that situation as much as possible. Google navigation is pretty cool now that it works! Snrs in the 40s outdoors. 4ft error.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] luminus69:
(Not-so-)Random Reboot here too..

(Not-so-)Random reboot here too. Attach dongle->Screen off->Reboots itself within 10 minutes. .21 firmware, rooted but bootloader *not* unlocked.

Even these guys are reporting the same problem.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/20/asus-transformer-prime-gps-extension-kit-hands-on/

Well, at least it's free and works relatively well (before crashing the Prime).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leppie:
Someone/anyone/everyone with the reboot issue, please run a LOGCAT please (run from PC else, you will lose the info ;p).

Post the last page or 2 from the output here or pastebin.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmcnabb2:
mine actually started rebooting as well. Cant leave the thing on unless I'm actually using the gps. What I've seen is it only causes reboots after the screen turns off. After that it goes into a deep sleep and locks up.

Haven't tried resetting via pinhole but I guess I'll give it a go. I'm hoping this works. I'm glad Asus took some initiative and tried to fix this problem but I find it bad when my phone locks on instantly and with better strength than this external gps.

Maybe we'll see an update eventually that fixes any connectiity problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JayRBytheway:
I always take the dongle off when im not using it.

Theres no maybe about it, there needs to be some tweaks done (obviously) but thays expected
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] steveaitch:
Is there any way to tell that it's the dongle that's being used and not the internal GPS?

Mine arrived today. Plugged it in, restarted the Prime and tried out the GPS Status app but by the window it is finding only 1 or 2 satellites. My Xperia S sitting alongside fixes on 7/22 satellites. The results for the dongle should be better than this shouldn't they?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phat_11:
same here. I kinda had the feeling that people were getting much better results than this... Indoors it's still completely useless since i got no lock at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
I have same issue, I started using the dongle 10 minutes ago and when I set the Prime in stand by, it keeps rebooting.

Never had this issue previosly.

removing the dongle all reboots stop.

I am on 21WW firmware, not rooted or unlocked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Lol, fail after fail, I wonder if this would be ASUS's or nVidia's fault? :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you know i think, people are leaving these dongles attached when not in use. when its not supposed to be. now if people getting reboots without dongle even being attached, then its not the dongle causing it. some are saying the prime reboots when it goes into standby or sleep when dongle is attached. Why in the world is GPS dongle still attached then.. if it goes into standby or sleep mode, that means you not using it. ASUS specifically states in instructions DO NOT LEAVE IT ATTACHED TO PRIME WHEN NOT IN USE. i had this dongle longer than anyone here and i haven't seen one reboot while it was attached yet. I attach it only when i need/want to use GPS. then i take it off immediately afterwards.

VERY strange how me n others like jjvega never had a reboot. BUT I DID LET GARY KNOW, earlier today,about this issue some seem to be reporting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Well, when I use GPS I do make my devices go to sleep so the display doesn't add to the power consumption and heat until I need to actually see my turn-by-turn as opposed to just listening for the right exits. So if I were to use this that way, so that it's still totally in use and needed, just the screen isn't, then I'm likely to get reboots. That's not ok, and they shouldn't have a say to how I use it really. I understand not to leave it in overnight or something, but I should be able to continue navigation and keep functionality even with the screen off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
good point. I forgot about the fact you can turn screen off to just listen to directions instead. Even still the software still needs more tweaking, which is understandable. ill try to see later if I can recreate or force my prime to reset in the ways other have reported.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JayRBytheway:
Its not very strange. Its the world of electronics, you cant predict or replicate all problems. If my tfp is constantly rebooting when.the dongle is on (within the first five minutes of being attached) and it never reboots without the dongle on.... Lets put two and two together
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] csrabear:
This is my first post because I didn't need to before now. I got one of the early TF primes and other than weak GPS it was great. Never had any problems updating, no lockups, no reboots. That is until I put on the GPS dongle and let my prime go to sleep. This was while I was using GPS Test and once it goes to sleep it doesn't wake up. Maybe it simply turns off. I was hopeful that since I had such good luck with my unit that this would be no different. I guess my luck just ran out. I am extremely grateful for the GPS kit but what good is it if it makes my prime malfunction? I am not trying to start a flame war, rather, I am very disappointed.:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude6595:
You should send it to me since I'm still waiting for my "shipped" package
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Thread re-opened.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
Not only listen - I use GPS to record GPS tracks (so I can attach GPS data to photos I took with my camera later).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
I intended on posting this here yesterday evening but the thread was closed and now reopened:

Had a 2 hour drive for farmers market planned early this morning, so I attached the GPS dongle and gave it time to get sat locks while I hopped in the shower. I come out the shower and it's in the process of rebooting. Think nothing of it. Put on music while getting dressed... 2 songs later, restarts. Huh? So I soft reset while GPS dongle is still attached. 3 songs later another restart.

Umm wtf? Detach dongle, soft reset again then play music w/o dongle. No problems.

Connection made! Dongle + sleep = bad ò_ó

Anyway putting that aside, my drive to the farmer's market was hardly accompanied by GPS from my Prime. After waiting for a lock in my car and pairing bluetooth, I was able to get autonomous directions from Google Navigation for about 18 minutes before it was completely unable to maintain a lock. Interestingly enough, Google Navigation was showing my travels on the map very accurately... it just kept saying 'SIGNAL LOST' and wasn't able to provide me locations.

The battery drain... not surprised. But overall, this dongle has completely failed.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

I hate to ask, since you've done so much already, but can you do a pink facebook and yahoo mail app icon (maybe twitter too? lol) or perhaps point me in the direction of some that already exist?

Thank you, thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
Are you just needing the icons?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Ummm lol I don't know, can I change icons on Anakonda or do I need the actual app altered?

Sorry I'm really clueless in this area.

Hey dazed any work around or fix for acore.process has stopped it seem to stsrt after login to gmail?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
I'm not sure. Ran it all day and didn't see it once. Do you have Google plus running as well? I'll have to try and figure out what's causing it.?

EDIT:

Talked to one of the dev's and it has something to do with syncing contacts. Ill try to figure out something. Not sure what is triggering it. It does it for some but not the others.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
For those having the problem with gmail. Try uninstalling the Gmail app with root explorer or Titanium Backup, boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot and install version from the market and see if that fixes your problem. I haven't seen this problem, so I am really not much help. Sorry about that, but give it a try and let me know if it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdss:
Thanks Dazed, i will try that in a few and report back, at work right now so it will be a while, have to flash rom again because i was testing another rom ...

Edit: so i flashed Anakonda rom again then theme with same results, actually any app when pressed i get "android.process.acore" stopped working, something else is going on here, hope you can figure it out, thanks ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
its got to be a specific app. I'm not getting that error at all. Not sure what the deal is. I can't get it figured out if its not happening to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
Hey Dazed I did what you had suggested about the gmail app this fixed all issues thank you this theme is fire and the wife loves it thank you.

un-install the gmail app then dl the new app from play then flash the theme works perfect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] albertouresti:

Here is the link to the AnaKonda Rom. VeNuM is the one who put this Rom together, but it truly is a great rom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] klasic213:
Hope this can help if you are still having the same problems. Do a fresh install of the AnaKonda ROM:

1) Power off your phone.

2) Boot into CWM.

3) Perform a wipe Cache, and Dalvik-cache. Now in Mounts and Storage perform format/system. Now wipe data (factory reset). You can also perform Calks wipe all zip (found here: http://xdaforums.com/atta...2&d=1330705940) if you want but not needed.

4) Select "install zip from file" and navigate to and select the zip.

5) When it finishes flashing, go back and select "reboot system now". The first boot will take a couple minutes. Subsequent boots will be much faster.

Don't flash anything else yet, you need to let it reboot first with stock AnaKonda ROM. Always let the fresh ROM sit for about 10 minutes or more before you install anything else. This is where you update your Gmail in the Android Market, before you apply Twisted Pink. After you are done updating Gmail, then:

Power off the phone

Boot into CWM

Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik Cache

Install zip from file

Apply Twisted Pink and Reboot!

AWESOME THEME BY dazed!

Just tried it at bestbuy , and the touchwiz browser is extremely smooth more so than the browser on any phone/ android tablet ive tried. How did samsung achieved this, and how come more browser arent like this?
[Android General] Jasonliw93:
Lol which android phones have you even used? Android phones have come a long way even from just a year ago thanks to the emergence of dual cores and quad cores now... I also find dolphin browser very nice and the stock browser for ics is fast as well.
[Android General] Fasty12:
No but im sure samsung did something with touchwiz that no other manufacturer do to make the browser ios smooth
[Android General] justinhforsyth:
It's not any more smooth than the stock ICS browser.

The Note is just a really powerful device. That's probably why it felt so buttery.
[Android General] FC1032:
I've read that the touchwizz browser is hardware accelerated. Seeing the hardware on the note is so good, you'll probably notice the improvement a bit more than other chips.

Then again, isn't HWA now default across most apps in ICS? I find chrome Beta overall smooth, but then it doesn't have flash. Stock browser is alright.
