@shinzz

Anecdotal evidence suggests satisfactory performance depends on the product at Asus with both the 101 and 700 variations having higher standards than the prime.

Good luck getting your question answered - fans and the blissfully ignorant will be more vocal and will far outnumber those with any real insight into your question.

Asus standards aside, my prime has the weakest wifi at distance from the router of any device in my household (2 smart phones, laptop and ipad2). I have stopped *****ing and bought a second router to enhance the signal for my prime, but the misalignment between Asus standards and my expectations means my next tablet will likely be branded differently.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Transformer Prime is becoming iPadish. Problem with WIFI.. purchase a new router or 2nd router... Problem with GPS (before the GPS dongle).. purchase Bluetooth GPS or tether to your Phone. Do you travel & have WIFI issues? Tether to your phone & use up your phone's data plan....

When you accumulate these cost just for tablet to function to your "need" (obviously, some don't at all as it meets their requirement).... it feels like I'm entering iPad territory & the ridiculous cost of iPad accessories.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dcAndroidFan:
Agreed. I've owned two Primes and the WiFi on both was equally terrible. I have a TF300 on order right now, and when I get it I'm going to compare in equal environments. The screen and the sleek design on the Prime are both nice, but the fact is that I can't use it how I really need to use it because the connectivity is so poor that I lose over 90% of my throughput in some rooms of my 2-story house (where my laptop and phone both still get strong throughput). I shouldn't need a new router, and an external GPS accessory, and a cellphone hotspot to make a $500 tablet usable. I'm tired of making excuses and I'm tired of waiting for a WiFi fix that's never coming and I'm tired of being scared to RMA because of continued reports of damage and ineffective repairs that take a month or more. I'm sincerely happy for people whose experience has been better, but the fact is that many of us just haven't gotten the performance and usability that we expected when we first purchased this tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] isnowbrd:
I've personally used ten different Primes, across almost every serial number range and with different routers at different locations. Every one of the ten Primes outperformed or equaled the connectivity of my laptops.

While I've seen a few other issues with quality control that makes me a little disappointed with Asus, WIFI hasn't been an issue in my experience with the tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
My prime gets the same and even a little better range than my bionic, slightly less than my laptop (But hey I have an envy 17) the only difference is signal degradation (ie speeds) at those distances are lower on the prime after about 20-30' from the router.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kabrutus:
My wifi sucks on my prime. I have a Xirrus WAP, 10 feet away from me and i still cant get full bars.... When i am away on business, i cant get a strong enough signal from hotels to even check my emails... i travel with the prime and an ipad. The ipad gets connects without issues. I'm not sure because the ipad supports 2.4 & 5ghz band and the prime only 2.4, but there is no doubt it has a wifi issue. Like i said, 10 feet from the access point and still no full bars.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
That's it, I'm done! Lol, I'm cleaning the inside of my Prime out and getting it swapped for another by ASUS. That's too many comments in a row saying that WiFi is better than or on par with their laptops and other mobile devices, my Prime consistently does worse.

And yes, I've optimized my router settings and everything, my other devices will easily reach the road and keep decent connectivity (~-75 dBm) while my Prime can't even keep connectivity a handful of feet (a meter for you clouds? :p) from the front door. And the closest router is ten feet from that door!

That being said though, I generally never need or want my Prime to connect all the way into me front yard :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
My prime gets exactly the same db reception as my sensation. Although it does show a bar less it gets the same throughput as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I really appreciate that. :D <3
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] john291:
Hello i bought a netgear wifi repeater that helped me with te signal range....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
at home next to the router is the only place i get good speeds.

on campus or a moderate distance away from a router, it's pretty slow.

with bluetooth on, wifi is shotty at best.

i'll have to restart wifi many time during the day because it either doesn't show any wifi connections, or has a frozen connection

gotta love being an early adopter
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I will never not reply to a post mentioning repeaters, because IMO they are the most disappointing things.

Just realize that by using a repeater as opposed to a second AP (either hard-wired or bridged) any signal involving the repeater will exactly halve your through-put. That's a no-no in rural areas like these where you generally only have 5 Mb/s to begin with; and that's a no-no under all circumstances for me. However, price-wise, it's a completely feasible and workable, if not efficient, way to help increase your network range.

Glad you found a personal solution to your range :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phat_11:
Mine gets the same signal and speed wirth my laptop around the router up to 20-30 feet. But further than that even though the signal is not that bad the dl speed suffers considerably. :O other than that i've tested at work for similar results but i got better results in hotels or hotspots. I'm hopeful that they will come up with a software tweak since here in belgium asus hotline do not recognise any issues with the wifi so rma is not possible. Tried to contact Gary on this but i had no success
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dcAndroidFan:
This has been my experience exactly. The WiFi signal strength on both Primes that I've owned has been on par with my phone at distances outside of 30 feet or so, but the throughput has been much lower. That's why I keep thinking it's an issue that could be fixed with software, but so far we've had multiple firmware upgrades and no improvement. If they could fix this issue, the tablet would be perfect for me but right now it's severely limited.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
The problem or issue with Prime's WIFI performance isn't just s/w related. The problem exist due to s/w & in conjunction with Prime's design flaw with metal backplate (& few other h/w issue that we might not know). Asus hoped on resolving the issue by adding extra antenna to compensate for the metal backplate & it did perform to some success, it did not completely resolve the issue for all PRIME.

It's a tricky situation for Asus & it won't be easy to resolve the issue completely. The inclusion of 2nd WIFI antenna gave adequate/satisfactory performance to X % of Prime owners but at the same time, it certainly did not meet the standard & expectation of the Y % of Prime owners as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Hmmm... Let me add to this.. The primes (4) I bought had a crappiest wifi compared to an iphone 3gs, ipad2, new ipad, HP pavillion, and a toshiba laptop, even the prime I bought for a friend that went through RMA about a display problem and weak wifi still was crap when it returned. Then a friend of mine came by with his prime from bought at Gamestop (it was his second exchange) and his GPS works fine a better wifi.... Makes you think what makes his prime work better than that of the others (even the one that was RMAed).

??WTF?? I guess not all primes are the same
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Screwedupsmitty:
Duh, you had to get the optimus version
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
wifi works well enough for me, unless im trying to stream movies from my desktop and listen with bluetooth headphones, then its kind of choppy.... then again the movies are usually 10gig blueray rips so its understandable XD
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Apparently, I got the decepticon version or there are alot of decepticons in the optimus batch.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
I think you've held out long enough. It's time to reward yourself with a new Prime :D I feel for you though because of the RMA experience you're most likely going to have. If it was me and knowing what I know now, I would have a conversation with the folks at Edit: the California office first. See if you can go through them.

There isn't one person over there that won't make you feel like your problem is there problem. I'm sure you can think of some reason why you should be dealing with them first. (it's where I was sent after a horrible RMA experience)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Thank you, saved the number, but if it's directly related to ASUS a mod will likely edit it out so you may as well go on and do it yourself lol

If not, where is that number routing to?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] isnowbrd:
Yeah, I was also very surprised about the differences between the ten primes I have used. There were different screens, bezel material, fit and finish and versions of Android. (the C3s I had came with ICS) But strangely, none of them had WIFI issues. And none of them had working GPS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
When I had a difficult RMA experience by calling the general number and going that route GK asked them to get in touch with me. It seems like there are about 4 people who answer the phones and any one of them can help you out. It's the California office and they,re night and day difference over the general support office imho.

I would think starting the conversation with something like I can't get anywhere with the other number I called or I was directed to call here by so many people who said you all could help me or flat out begging so you don't have to go through the general support. I'm sure you get the idea.

Knowing what I know now I would probably beg, borrow and steal to go through them. Well, maybe not steal. Good luck. I really hope they let you go through them.

Oh, BTW what they did for me was initially call me directly on my cell and apologized for the prior service and gave me the option to send mine back in for repair, exchange for a new prime or refund my money. I chose exchange and they advanced RMA'ed me a new Prime (reservation $$$ put on credit card). Prime was defective in many ways and was a C3 prime too. I sent it back and they sent me another one. All the time I had my BCOKAS so I had something to play with. Got the new C3 and it's as close to perfect as you can get. Working GPS. It actually locks while driving but still no good to nav by. Lags to far behind. WiFi is 1 bar better than before everywhere and actually beat my laptop in a side by side ROM download for my Atrix. in the same time Prime, 239mb to laptop 108mb. I was shocked but my laptop is older. Sent my BCOKAS back and the next day they got it the charge was removed. Also, never once did I pay for any shipping and It was all 2nd day air. Last thing is I've had this Prime for about a month now and all is good. I am so close to unlocking.

Sorry all for the long post.

I'm debating weather to flash m4xm4n's [WIP][MTD] CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC1 ... but b4 i do how would I do a nandroid restore or flash something if one of the known issues is not being able to boot into recovery or download mode?

Or did m4xm4n mean that booting into recovery or download mode from the power menu is broken? If that is the case adb works right?

Thank You! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
It's only broken from the os side. You can still use the three button combo to get to recovery.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brd912:
First, I would really like to know why my cricket flashed dinc2 will only work well on sense 2.1 roms? With sense 2.1 roms I can get really good coverage with my prl. When I flash sense 3.0, 3.5, 3.6 or 4.0 roms they all only give 1 bar at best. Miui or cm7 roms wont give any signal at all. The service name is Verizon wireless and signal bars never pop up? Anyone know why this is?

Also I was wondering why the skyraider ROM links are all bad? I've really been wanting to try the Rom and I cannot find any GOOD links. Can anyone help with this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brd912:
It'd be wonderful if my other answer could be answered. I actually went back to cm7 the other day and low and behold data worked for me, but was really weak. Is the radio in sense 2.1 roms different from EVERY other Rom or something? I'd really like to get off this sense 2.1 Rom...the battery is awful and tbh, its old news lol. Id really like to mess around with other roms but since I use my phone as a hotspot for my ps3 I need data

Hello i just recently found a galaxy s2 at work. So i took it to my local tmobile store where the guy there did a "master reset" then gave me a new sim card for the phone. While i was still in the store looking around testing out the phone i had all bars and 4g and everything worked. Now when im home its spotty at best sometimes its 4g and full bars and i cant make calls or surf web. Sometimes it goes to the circle with the line through it (no connection). I cant seem to figure out how to keep the signal strong. Any suggestions would be great i wanna actually be able to use this beast!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Makavelithedon61671:
thanx for all the people who ASSUME i stole it. I work hard for my money and i got my original vibrant stolen before so i know how much that sucks. I got the phone after it was left in the lobby and sat in the office for 30 days until i collected.

Anyway back on topic if anyone has the same issue it is a hardware defect. I ended up registering the phone through samsung and sending it in for repair for free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] princeasi:
Just curious but, why did you include that you "found" the phone when your actual question was pertaining to signal issues?.... By doing this, you were asking for the wrath of xda to fall upon you lol!

Hi, when I play games or watch movies on my one x it sometimes start to flash red - green on the notification light.

I think it only happens when I have the charger plugged in. Anyone know what it is? And if its any help, I'm running leedroids Rom.

Using more power than the charger is outputting

Thanks!

Have the chargers changed over the year's? Currently using the one that came with my desire.
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
I was thinking this but I'm not too sure, I was wondering if the one x charger would have higher power output due to the beastlyness of the phone. I however never use it because it's short...use an old blackberry charger seems to take about the same amount of time to charge tho

[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Yup! Do NOT play games while charging...it is a sure way of pushing the thermal limits!
[HTC One X] JamesBarnes:
No, its pretty much an industry standard that micro usb chargers run 1A @ 5v :)

If the charger is really old it could be 800mA but not likely, easy to check though, just check between the pins on the plug :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
oh so its not overheating?
[HTC One X] tkolev:
It's definitely overheating. I was watching an hd movie using sw code and charging (I had about 20% battery, so it was taking the whole amp), and the light began flashing. I quit the mx player and saw battery widget reporting 49 degrees Celsius and battery status was 'overheating' I have to mention though that I had my phone placed onto a pillow, so no chance of dissipating the heat whatsoever. I presume the same happens when you play a game and hold your phone. My advice is just to wait a while for the battery to go up enough, so the charger begins the slow cycle - then you'll be charging with a few hundred mA and it will be easier for the phone to handle the extra heat.
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Well when the led flashed like that for me I was playing shadowgun and the battery dropped a percent over the time I was playing with it charging the whole time, but like someone said above both will happen. The phone was hot for sure
[HTC One X] Chileno4Live:
Well I used to have overheat problems as well but I fixed it by doing a hard reset. My phone doesn't overheat as it did before the reset and I can easily play games on the phone while charging. Even after a hard reset, my phone easily hits 43 degrees though. Just thought to share this with you guys.
