[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordanmw:
I am not sure why we are not doing this for the prime, but it is high time we have a thread that compiles all issues that are currently effecting users. I will even list issues that have a supposed resolution since most issues that have been "resolved" people are still having problems with.

The reason that I wanted this thread is to keep track of all issues in one place so that new users or users debating purchase can see all of the possible issues in one place. I sent a potential prime purchaser to this forum to research before purchase and they said that after sloshing through the flame war that is this forum, they still did not really get a list of potential problems. Just people debating what was or was not an issue. This will provide a list of potential issues for users like him.

Potential issues:

1. Sod (sleep of death)- device will not wake up when power button is pressed. (reported more of an issue on firmware prior to .21 but still seen intermittently)

2. Browser wait or force close- Web browser seems to offer you the option to wait or force close frequently, wait usually allows the page to load.

3. Heavy 3D games crash- Issue seems worse after .21 update, frequent force close and outright crash when playing T3 optimized games, sometimes reboot.

4. Wifi/BT throughput- Many users report a disconnect/degradation of wifi when using BT. Some users report that their device does not suffer from this.

5. GPS- Should I even mention the issues with the internal GPS? Probably not since it is not debatable if the internal works properly. BUT the dongle is causing most users issues with sleep on the device when dongle is attached, looping reboots reported.

6. Device Unlock- Device can be unlocked and flashed but immediately voids warranty and bootloader is still encrypted. (there are reports that the bootloader will be made available soon)

7. Screen Mura- Many users report dark/light patches in their LCD, this seems to be common and some users are just now noticing the issue.

8. Cracked Screen- This is an interesting one, many claiming that the dock is causing it and some have even resorted to creating their own bumpers to prevent the prime's screen from touching the dock. Some have had it crack just by picking up the tablet itself. Some claim it is the pressure of holding it by a corner and cleaning the screen while holding.

9. Digitizer inaccuracy- This is the complaint "I can't draw a diagonal line without it going all wavy on me!" It is an actual issue and although there are users reporting settings that allow it to work properly, the default configuration will leave anyone who just opens it up and tries to draw an "X" scratching their heads.

10. Device fit/finish issues- Some users report bezel separation and some report that light pressure near the camera increases wifi signal.

11. Sound issues- User reports of audio dropping out all together until reboot is performed.

I will try to get links added to this post for all described issues. Having 6 primes go through my hands since January from B-C3 serial numbers, I have seen the majority of these issues first hand and can confirm that some devices seem to have more of these than others, but still have yet to find one that suffers from none of these issues.
