[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ccrobin:
Why did they make you pay, was it not covered under warranty?

How much did it cost, if I may ask? I'm about to send mine in, but if they aren't going to cover it I'm not sure I want to pay any more for this thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jackmei2:
$232 and they covered shipping. that was also after 15% off. my problem was, it would only boot into cwm so there was no hiding that I had flashed a custom rom and recovery. if yours can boot up properly into a rom, they might not charge you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ccrobin:
YIKES!

OK, well mine boots fine. I never rooted or unlocked so I'm good there - but with a cracked screen I'm afraid they will claim the drop that cracked my screen also broke the USB - even though the usb worked fine for a while after the screen cracked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jackmei2:
you can send it in and if they do determine that it's CID (customer induced damage) then you can just tell them not to do anything and they will ship it back for free.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flip35:
i guess im not the only one with this issue, i received my prime back from asus after getting it fix. i had to pay since they discovered that i had unlocked bootloader but thats fine. the problem was the same as everyone here. it wont be recognize by nono of my computers. and i cant updated the drivers since is not even showing up. i spend an hour with asus representative and he couldnt fix it. being that i didnt have that problem when i sent it in, theyre going to send me a box for me to send it to get it fix for free this time. i wish though there was something i could since i just got it back after a month, i was so excited to get it back and now this. i want it fix because without this i wont be able to root it again:laugh:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jackmei2:
wait, so this happened to you twice? I'm actually not going to unlock my prime anymore, because this is bs with all of the hardware problems with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flip35:
Well the first time it messed up was that it kept on rebootig into recovery but it happened before but i was able to fix it myself using adb the problem was that for some reason out of no where it messed up again rebooting into recovery but this time i couldnt fix it because none of my computers were recognizing it, i tried everything but it wouldnt show up anywhere under device manager on my pc not even as unknown, before everytime it would be stock on recovery i was able to fix it through adb cuz my pc would recognized it so eventually i guess the driver messed up...i sent it to asus n because they discovered the unlock bootloader i had to pay $307 which i paid cuz i love my prime but when i got it back it still wasnt being recognized by my pc, i think the prime is too delicate to be rooting
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
damn it! this just happened to me!

plugged in to try and get a logcat over adb and i can't see it in devices or device manager or disk management. Charges through the charger fine, dock works when connected fine, but my PC won't see the prime regardless :(

I have three things in mind: my usb cable plastic broke (on the end that connects to the computer/charger) and i taped it back on. Crazy thought, but why not throw it out there.

I dropped my prime a few weeks ago, but the camera and everything else was fine. It was a 2 foot drop onto carpet. No other issues since. From reading someone's post above, it looks like it might be possible that this screwed something up as someone had their MOBO replaced in RMA.

Lastly, I have been messing with drivers for other android devices so I'm not sure if that messed it up, but my other computer can't even see it vice versa so I'm scared it's a hardware issue :(

someone also tried to change the prime from mounting (Settings - storage) from MTP to PPTP but that didn't help either.

I LOVE my prime, but I'm SO SICK of all the issues I've had with it, and not even being able to unlock due to some stupid vague nonspecific error Asus won't address.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jackmei2:
well... I would get another cable and see if that works. if it doesn't, since you haven't unlocked your prime, I'd send it in for a warranty repair.

the plastic on my usb cable broke too, but that was definitely not the issue as they sent back the original cable and it still works when I connect my prime to my pc now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jcarlospr:
Ok, I need your opinion

Finally after almost a month of waiting ASUS contacted me with a great news - The repair cost is $226 apparently:confused: they have to replace the motherboard and are charging $161 for motherboard and $65 for labor. What you guys think????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Why are they charging you??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jcarlospr:
Because the Boot-Loader has been unlocked
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Did you flash a custom recovery or rom? If not then don't let them steal from you cuz there's no way unlocking caused this!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
If it's a hardware problem I don't think they have right to charge you. It's a hidden defect and it can't be linked to what is commonly called 'warranty', and there is theoretically no time limit for hidden defect fixing. Perhaps itcan differ a bit among countries, try to see with your local consumer associations.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jcarlospr:
They sent me the link for the warranty info
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gripen:
I have a TF700T and the JellyBean update fixed this for me. Perhaps this is a solution on the TP too? Who knows. Worked for me, I was about to RMA and have held off hoping the update would do the trick.. It did.

I also tried different cables, factory reset, different PCs. Definitely an issue with the on-board USB driver on the Linux/Android side. If they "allowed" us to downgrade and upgrade I suspect that the issue would be repaired (I assume when you do a "sideload" of the same version, certain files are not automatically replaced). Upgrading the kernel clearly does force the replacement of these broken files.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
My problem was solved when my cord stopped charging so i tried a friend's cord and that was my problem. New one should be in tomorrow :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drunken_m:
Hi,

sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, but this was the only usable find in Google.

I have the same problem with my TF201. 2 weeks ago I copied a movie via USB onto the Prime, everything was working perfect. Last week my PC did not recognize the tablet anymore. I tried it on another PC (brand new, fresh install of Win7Ultimate). Same. Connected to USB, but Windows doesn't see anything. No reaction.

I have the bootloader unlocked (for about 1 year now), but *no* CFW or custom boot loader installed (I only needed Root for the Sixaxis Controller).

Charging works fine, keyboard dock is also working. Unfortunately I only have 1 cable, but reading the comments before it's probably the same error as you guys had. Of course the guarantee was until Jan. 2014...

Has anybody gotten his USB working again without sending the tablet back to ASUS and paying $200+ for repairs?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ilan2307:
any solution guys?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wolwe:
same issue. annoying. :(

Edit: it was just the cable
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Heximo:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] howil001:
Hi tf-users,

I had similar problems with my tf300 or at least with the usb-connection to a pc:

- the TF was officially unlocked severally years ago but due to the usb-prob no custom rom or recovery was installed until now

- the TF was not recognized on any PC (tested 1xWin, 5xUbuntu-Linux); no device showed up in Hardware-manager and no device was listed by lsusb

- used three different cables (original and newly bought ones)

- I also did a factory reset

- finally opened the device to check the USB-connection-port and the connection inside the tablet as described here ... https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Asus+TF300T+Tablet+Charging+Port+Replacement/33265

but none of the above helped!

After I was convinced that this had to be a hardware problem, I ‘accidentally’ did a cold-boot and a reboot into ‘USB MODE’ (hold vol. down while rebooting; having the tablet connected via USB). This is also described here…

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32797439&postcount=6

...and ta-daaaa….

The TF was finally stating something like ‘Starting fastboot USB device protocol’.

Now the TF is again recognized at any PC!

With this surprising turn (and FWUL https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/live-iso-adb-fastboot-driver-issues-t3526755) I was able to install android 7.0.1 as described here...https://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf300t/general/guide-asus-transformer-pad-tf300t-stock-t3554744

Hope this is of help to somebody.

Hey Guys,

what "STABLE" gingerbread rom do u recommended?

I usually play games alot and surf the internet so i need the battery to last long.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
ARHD 3.x
[HTC Sensation] Bharath9590:
Android Revolution Hd is the best...
[HTC Sensation] OneOneSix:
You can't argue with ARHD, its the most stable.
[HTC Sensation] paul.f:
ARHD too, the most stable Gingerbread ROM.

I want to flash a custom rom on my sgs2 .....

want someone to help me choose a custom rom and a detailed method to flash that rom(coz maybe different roms have different method).....I'd like to have a nice theme different from the official firmware.....and can i flash an ICS based custom rom to my gingerbread running phone wtih a full wipe or do i have to flash an ICS firmware and then flash a custom rom???

My phone is running with gingerbread 2.3.6 xwkl1 (rooted) !!!!!

Thank you in advance !!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) Try a bunch of roms until you find one you like. Not doing so is laziness on your part. Have a look at the development section of the forum, there are heaps of roms there for you to read up on the features & try out.

2) Follow whatever flashing instructions the particular rom you want to try has to the letter.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GianCastro:
Resurrection Remix ics is great choice...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyibin:
most of the roms are in zip format, you just put the downloaded file into you sgs2's internal sd, reboot to cwm.

with the tar format, you need odin to do the job.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gringocol:
i'm new to rooting but i think its pretty much the same way for most devices, for .tar files you need to use odin and if they're .zip you can connect your phone to computer and copy the .zip file onto the root of your internal SD card which basically means don't place it in any folders. disconnect your phone, reboot to recovery, if your coming from another ROM you need to wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition, dalvik cache should also be wiped. after that select install zip from sd card or it might say from internal sd card select internal if it does, click select you ROM package (.zip file), the installation will begin, after completion go back to recovery menu and click on reboot system. hopefully it should boot with no problems.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joravis:
I'm actually using Omega v11.1 ICS with Speedmod K3-16, and it's the best rom I've tried. It's perfectly smooth and stable, and this is the most ICS themed rom. To install it, simply make a full wipe and install with CWM ;)

And around we go. Stop trying to be clever, it's not that simple.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Download the official firmware from Asus. Flash it with cwm and upon reboot you'll be unroot with stock recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezechiele25172012:
Have I to rename the official firmware in something different?

Can I put it into microSD before flashing?

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
No rename just extract the zip file and put it where your recovery can see it.

Boot into recovery (recommend you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache).

Flash it like you would a custom ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezechiele25172012:
Ok but usually when I flash a custom recovery a use the zip file in the recovery without extract it; why have I to extract it now?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saav:
Because the official Asus firmware is zipped twice. Once you extract the file you download from the asus site you'll get the flashable zip you can use.

No quad core no buying. Simple. Because my GN is already a dual core.
[Galaxy S III General] peachpuff:
Look at the graphs i posted above, the dual core krait smashes the quad core a9 tegra3. The new krait architecture is simply more advanced than the a9 cpu in your GN, kind of like intel's new ivy bridge cpu. Intel only needs 4 cores to compete while amd needs 8 and it still lags behind.
[Galaxy S III General] dhoshman:
I read somewhere that the chip is compatible with cdma network lte though. Hopefully Verizon and Sprint are able to bring the Exynos, Sprint did it with the GS2. S4 is also an excellent chip so I'll be happy with that too. But if it does come with the S4 I may just go with the Evo 4G LTE, same chip and releases sooner.
[Galaxy S III General] alex9898:
I'm sorry but i can't agree with you. In allmost all benchmarks, Tegra 3 came actually on top in matter of CPU performances.

Quadrant

In quadrant, S4 does a better general score but if you look at the CPU score, Tegra 3 take the lead by a large margin (11000+ vs 8000+).

In that test, S4 @ 1.5Ghz does around 42% better than a TI OMAP 4460 @ 1.2Ghz or an Exynos 4410 @ 1.2Ghz (6000). The Tegra 3 does around 100% than A9 @ 1.2Ghz

In Antutu

One X :

One S :

Here again, Tegra 3 comes on top in matter of CPU performances. It does around 100% better than best A9 @ 1.2Ghz (TI OMAP 4 & Exynos 4210) in the two CPU tests (Integer & Float-Point).

The S4 is not so much better than A9 here.

In Smartbench 2012

There is no surprise, Tegra 3 is a clear leader in CPU around 80% better than the better A9. S4 @ 1.5Ghz comes in second with a 20% advantage over the OMAP 4430 @ 1.2Ghz. Not so good considering the frequencies.

In CF-Bench

One X :

One S :

Here comes the strange parts.

Again, Tegra 3 wins by a large margin ( 37% better than S4 in overall score) but, if you look at all scores, you will see that S4 @ 1.5Ghz comes really close to an Exynos 4210 @ 1.2Ghz in Native Bench (One S is only 12% faster than SGS2 in Native benchs and Tegra 3 is 100% faster than S4 in Native score) but in Java Benchs, S4 does better than Tegra 3.

And here is the explanation of the Linpack performances of the S4. Linpack is not really a benchmark. According to his developper, Linpack " is more a reflection of the state of the Android Dalvik Virtual Machine than of the floating point performance of the underlying processor". It's entirely in Java and does not test the performance of the CPU but the performance of the dalvik machine on that CPU (wich is totaly different because the dalvik machine is a software wich is not well optimized for all SoC).

What does that mean ?

According to all Native Benchs, S4 Dualcore is not so much better than A9 dualcore. Qualcomm has announced that the architecture of the S4 achieves 3.3 DMIPS/Mhz which is 32% better than A9 architecture that achieves 2.5 DMIPS/Mhz (So, even Qualcomm doesn't expect to compete with Tegra 3 with S4 Dual in reality). In reality, it seems that results is (a lot ?) under that. Tegra 3, with 4 A9 cores comes easily on top in matter of pure CPU power. It's nearly twice as fast as the A9 Dualcore.

But Dalvik Machine seems much more optimized for S4 CPU.

Side of SunSpider and BrowserMark, One S and One X are nearly equal. But the Razr Droid, Galaxy Nexus, SGS2 with ICS are also very close despite of lower frequencies. It appears that the browser does not support quad core.

So I don't think you can say that S4 Dual is equal to Tegra 3 (or another quad A9).

[Galaxy S III General] expertzero1:
Of course its going to win in some benchmarks, because its a QUADCORE....

S4 is battery efficient and it beats the tegra 3 in some areas. Tegra 3 has a better gpu so its graphical performance will win.

Anyways integrated lte chip, 28 nm process. Modified A15 chip, win win win?
[Galaxy S III General] alex9898:
Tegra 3 is not going to win some benchmarks, he wins almost all benchmarks (because it's a quadcore).

But I agree with you : If i had to choose between S4 Dualcore and Tegra 3, i'll go for S4. There is no doubt on that.

Maybe Tegra 3 is much more powerfull than S4 Dual but, as you pointed, S4 is much more power efficient thanks to 28nm and don't have to deal with the strange idea of the "4-PLUS-1" (with S4, you have always all the power of S4). IMHO (and it's only an opinion), a quadcore using the 40nm process is really not a good idea.

But I just wanted to point that S4 is not so much better than A9 (even compared to one-year-old A9 dualcore with lower frequencies as you can see) and that S4 Dualcore is certainly not as powerfull as Tegra 3.
[Galaxy S III General] miked0602:
That's why I went with the razor Max instead of waiting.

The S4 is LTE compatible. The quad is not........
[Galaxy S III General] cashyftw:
Hmm now I need to choose between the international or the us variant
[Galaxy S III General] peachpuff:
Hmm i kinda agree with you not agreeing with me now, haven't seen those benches you posted before, perhaps samsung will stuff the s4 pro for the us market, we'll see.
[Galaxy S III General] evolution_theory:
Being in the US, what are my options for purchasing the best SIII?

Wait and order the international version once it's released? Will that work with Verizon still?
[Galaxy S III General] Swiftks:
International quad-core won't work on GSM carrier's LTE network, and surely won't be compatible with Verizon CDMA.

So you can pick up and international version to use on AT&T or T-Mobile 3G or wait for US carrier specific versions to be released.
