[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vvveith:
A distant ship smokes on the horizon?

I guess it's clear that their are no easy answers or solutions for the prime and it's general forum. In the years I've been coming here for various devices, I never ventured into the General forums. I cannot say if this is normal behavior or not for this type of forum. It's easy to understand both sides, and one should not have to flame people just to be heard. There do seem to be some people who come to all threads and post things that belittle a user with a device that seems to be less than stellar, by simply posting things like, my Prime does not suffer from that so you are wrong kind of posts.

I am not a happy prime owner so I have only ventured into the Happy Prime Owners Forum once, and of course did not post because at the time I had nothing Positive to say. However, I have ventured into many of the problem type threads and read through each and every post, and with each new read, became more and more urgent about getting some answers and some help without having to rebuild the prime from scratch or void it's warranty to troubleshoot bad firmware, build props, boot sequences and the like. After reading and experiencing many of the horror stories I read in the unhappy forums it seemed there was a need to get a little more direct and clear about how an end user with a inferior device feels.

Taking into consideration the other companies that make similar devices, I guess some have had really bad experiences from them as well and accepted as, "just business," and have come to expect their customer service to be less than stellar, however, that's not the way I run my business nor do I have work habits that reflect such neglect. I value people, I want them to value my product/service, so I try to go out of my way to make them happy. A happy customer is better than a million dollar ad campaign! So, I feel for those people that want to use a stock device and have it perform as they expected when they made their investment. I can tell you that HTC as earned my loyalty and so far have lived up to my expectations in real world experience, but I am sure they too have their problems, I just have not experienced them with the devices I have purchased from them. Nvidia, as been a main stay when it comes to getting a reliable video card and building boss gaming machines, however, this is the first mobile device I have owned that uses their chip. They too could be partially at fault with some of the prime's problems. That I just don't know. Android on the other hand is running flawlessly on four of my other mobile devices, yes ICS and that is what really gets my nuts in a bunch. Sure I can site other devices that are having difficulty running ICS but because I happen to have four that do not, what can be said? This is why these forums and topics get so confused and why so many people decide to vent/praise ASUS by starting new threads. I've gone through the settings options more than enough to of stream lined the performance as much as possible in the Prime, but still the troubles persist. And if you ask me, many have even given up and accepted defeat as their option/ just live with it mentality. So do we need more duplicate threads, perhaps. Should a thread stay on topic constantly and there be no social interaction, perhaps. But will this Utopia ever be realized in this general forum on the Transformer Prime, I highly doubt it. But great posts from both sides and thanks to the op for reopening the thread, it gave me something to read, which whether good or bad, always gives me a little hope... Maybe someone feels like I do.....and maybe someone is listening..................?:confused:
