[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] graffixnyc:
yeah I doubt anything will come from it, Just was wondering if anyone else came across it.

But I do know they are offering really unhappy users refunds (my friend was told by gary he could get a full refund for the tablet and dock)

My way of looking at that is this:

If they refund everyone who is extremely unhappy they have to refund them for the full retail price of the tablet and the dock(and I'm guessing tax?). So they have to dish out the retail price of it when we all know it cost them a fraction of that amount to produce them. I honestly think from a business stand point and upgrade path would be better because then they would only have to replace the tablet(assuming the docks are compatible) which is much cheaper for them then refunding the full retail purchase amount. Even if they didnt upgrade the tablet to the 700 and just replaced the backplate on the prime and maybe the wifi/bt and gps modules it would also be cheaper for them than having to refund the purchase price.

And just let me say again.. I was just asking if anyone has seen it or heard of the one I linked. Not trying to promote, have it gain momentum or start a WW3. Just simply wanted to know if anyone else stumbled on it like I have.

These petitions are always worthless.

You bought a consumer product. If you don't like it or it doesn't meet your expectations, return it to where you got it within the return period.

I have never seen a return period that is less than 14 days, and if it takes you more than two weeks to realize that the product doesn't meet your expectations, there is something obviously wrong with you.

If you waited months for an update to be released in order to make the device meet your expectations, I am sorry but you are a fool. You should always buy a device for what that device is NOW, not for what is may become in the future.

In any event, if you want an "upgrade path" here it is:

Sell the Prime on eBay. If you have taken good care of your device you should get

at least

$400 for it. Use that $400 to help pay for the Transformer Infinity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] graffixnyc:
I think you need to read my post again.. did I say anything about being unhappy? No.. Did I say I wanted an upgrade? No. All I did was ask if anyone came across it... gessh..

I even signed it with this comment:

"I agree there have been many issues with the prime. Not all users have issues but it seems more have them than not have them. I will support this as I do feel the prime wasnt ready to be released. I had issues with my first 2 units. The only issue I have with my current unit is some backlight bleed but my tf101 has worse BL bleed than my prime"

And I do feel the device wasnt ready for prime time. I'm pretty happy with mine. the only issue I really have is the screen bleeding and that's not even that bad and since I have squaretrade I'm thinking of popping it open and fixing that myself.

Hell I was outside yesterday and tried gps for the first time on this unit without the dongle and I got a 12/13 sat lock. Today I tried and I got 8/9. I was pretty surprised by that
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Dude, take the bug out of your ass! :cool:

Did I say anything specifically about you?

Did I mention you in any way?

My comment was 100% focused on the futile nature of these online petitions, which generally go ignored by manufacturers and which are generally started by people who don't exercise the procedures that already exist that allow customers to gain compensation for purchases that do not meet expectations.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] graffixnyc:
ok fair enough..lol But the fact that asus is offering refunds to people really unhappy says something as well. It says the company knows they kinda screwed up. Because in most cases: yeah, it is your problem and they dont have to offer you a refund at all. Like you said you have at least 14 days(if not longer) to return to the store. But the fact they are offering refunds to people who ***** enough does say something. Some companies no matter how much you put up a stink wont issue you a refund. A replacement? yes, but how often do they offer full refunds?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ilostmypistons:
Asus should offer a upgrade and make Nvidia pick up the tab for the not ready for prime time T3
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I think any company that is serious about their customers does the same kind of thing. At least, HTC replaced my malfunctioning EVO 4G no questions asked. Samsung has replaced televisions and refunded me for broken televisions with no problems.

Some companies give you the run around when it comes to this kind of stuff (Looking at you Sony) but for most companies it isn't worth the negative press, especially in this day and age of internet blogging and twitter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] graffixnyc:
you must be good. haha I've never been offered a refund. Replacements I have been offered but never a full refund. Hell I just dealt with an issue with Dell. They replaced my laptop with a refirb(accidental warranty) and started having issues with it two months later. They sent a tech to fix it, he fixed those issues but didnt send him a preloaded HD just a blank one so I have to load everything myself, and after the repair the keyboard didnt fully work. So they come again to fix that, they fix that then one speaker dies.. It took me filing a BBB complaint to have them contact me to give me a brand new system. No matter how much I *****ed before they just wanted to keep trying to fix it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] graffixnyc:
Oh and sorry for being a little snippy.. It's hot and humid as hell in NYC today and all the garbage is out for collection tomorrow so you can imagine the streets just smell like roses :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Technically, refunds aren't given to just any and everyone who asks for it. you have to meet specific criteria for them to even consider it. Mostly just early adopters or people who bought prime before they removed GPS From their official spec, like beginning or first week of January, are eligible. but even then terms have to be met and not all of them can get it. just wanted to clear that up so everyone don't get their hopes up thinking they can get a refund. there's already several reported cases here in xda of people being denied.

I'm still waiting to hear back on certain info that'll clear up alot of things. I think Asus knows even people who have good working tablets might try to get a refund just because infinity pad right around the corner..lol. so they trying to eliminate refunds that have no real basis for getting one. Chances are very high that if you never sent your tablet in for an RMA, then try to come out the blue wanting a refund, they will deny it. They will just say send it in for RMA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cameronsutor:
I was just about to comment on this ... I purchased my Prime on December 24th and after trying to, more or less, put up with horrible WiFi, completely non-functional GPS, and a proposed dongle solution that was not satisfactory, I was able to return my Prime (and dock) to Asus for a full refund. As a matter of fact, I just shipped it in last week, so I am still waiting on the refund, but I don't foresee any issues. The reason they let me return it was due to GPS issues, and probably legal ones on their part since GPS was a feature when i bought, but did not work, was removed from the spec list, and the solution was not satisfactory. I said all that, to say that the petition is not necessary. If you have a legitimate reason for requesting to return you TF201, they will probably work with you. On the other hand, people trying to get a refund just to get an upcoming model just need to learn some patience, and not jump on the first generation of something (ie. tegra 3). With that said, if your reason for requesting a refund has to do with the GPS issue, I was finally able to get someone with the authority to authorize one in what he said was the "Transformer Prime GPS issue department."

I am so bummed that this app is gone.

I suppose since it is not present on the EVO LTE, what is a good replacement that can live up to HTC NEWS?

There is news in the weather app. I'm not sure if it's the same one you are referring to, but if you click on the Wx bar under the clock on the home screen, four tabs appear at the bottom once it comes up. The tab all the way on the right pulls up the news. Hope this helps

Edit: Let me pull my foot out of my mouth so I can say that I'm wrong. I just noticed that this is only Wx news so disregard my info above. Sorry about that. :eek:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
I was feeling the same way. I loved that app, since I could use the RSS Feed from my local newspaper.

The best replacement that I've found is: Scrollable News. It works really well once you figure out how to set it up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
I downloaded Google's google reader and with sense 4.0's ability to resize widget, it is a decent replacement for this missing app.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
OK so today, after school, my Galaxy Nexus was acting all weirdly...

First, it rebooted, which I thought it was normal since that happened to me few times. But then about 3 minutes later, I saw that my phone was rebooted again! That's when I looked at my phone. When I looked at it, the wifi was off which is weird since I always turn on my wifi, so i went into the settings and the wifi was "setting up" which was weird since i've never seen that message before. Later again my phone rebooted! That's when I knew that something was wrong so I tried everything, but nothing worked. So, I decided to factory restore it, and that didn't do anything either!!!!!! What's wrong with my Nexus? That never happened to my Nexus S and the phone was fine at school...

My phone is in very mint condition and was used only max 2 months. It is yakuux and has Android 4.0.1. I did find Galaxy Nexus to heat pretty quickly, which felt abnormal.

Please help me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bilalakhtar:
Seems like a hardware issue. You weren't rooted, right? Is your bootloader locked? Then, I think the best option would be to head down to your carrier/retailer and have them repair/replace it. Since they often replace it with a refurb, you'd be better off waiting for other people's opinion on this forum before claiming warranty.

I can't think of a better solution, but I'm sure someone knows what's happening here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If you haven't messed with the system at all, and a factory reset didn't remedy the issue, then I'd lean towards saying it is a hardware fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cade80:
You should update to the newest firmware your carrier has done, I think most are current 4.0.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
Hmmm...is this Verizon? You probably want to update to the latest firmware and see if that fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cris rojas:
Parece un problema de hardware. No tenían sus raíces, ¿no? Es el gestor de arranque con llave? Entonces, creo que la mejor opción sería la de la cabeza hacia abajo con su proveedor / vendedor y presente su reparación / sustitución. Dado que a menudo reemplazarlo por una reforma, que sería mejor esperar la opinión de otras personas en este foro antes de reclamar la garantía. No puedo pensar en una solución mejor, pero estoy seguro de que alguien sabe lo que está pasando aquí.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Thank you all for replying...

It seems that a lot of you guys are saying that it's a hardware issue, which I thought too.

Sadly, I didn't buy this from the retailer and when I opened it, I didn't see any warranty card, so I'm pretty much screwed there... :/

Does anyone in Canada know a great place to replace the hardware of the phone? I live in Ontario btw.

Again, thank you all for helping me out with this... I really didn't want anything like this to happen (especially when I owned it for 2 months) but it sadly did :(

PS. My phone is not Verizon (Same as global one), my carrier (or Google) did not yet give me any firmware update, my phone is not rooted nor unlocked (never was)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You should take it in to your carrier where you bought it, they should have no problem replacing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
More specifically, I bought it from someone else... no retailer nor carrier... I just popped my old sim card in..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ksc6000:
Unlock it, root it, and wipe and install 4.0.4 from googles website. I think you'll be fine if you do that. My phone had some serious frakkin issues like that when it was on 4.0.1. I wiped it and installed 4.0.4 and it's been great since. The only thing I found troublesome with the process were getting the USB drivers installed. The process itself is simple enough
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
I had some weird issues that a "factory restore" didn't help. I was rooted and reverted to stock and that seemed to clear it up. since you don't have a warranty you may want to try some of the rooting methods to completely wipe the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbgt2:
I bought a Cappy awhile back an and it was second hand, bricked it, went to AT&T and they gave me another one. You shouldn't need a card unless CA is different from US in that remark. Carrier can easily find out if it's still under warranty thru the IMEI #
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
But since I didn't buy it from retailer or carrier, should I send it to Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
You should still be able to and it should be under warranty call Sammy up and ask maybe the other person didn't register it. I'd call and be like hey my phones doing this its x months old can I send it to you to fix it etc

No need to.mention to them you bought it off someone either.... Not at first anyways lol wait to see what they say before you mention it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
Yeah, you should probably root and wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
is it ok if i dont have any receipt either?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
I don't know why it wouldnt be I saw somewhere on here ppl returned phones they bought off someone else without anything... Just call to make sure tho n talk to them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
OK, I'll try and get back to you later. Thanks for the advice :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
bad news guys... I contacted Samsung today and I must have a receipt to prove that I bought Nexus from Canada or something which I think is a bull****... Anyways, I am trying to contact the guy who sold the Nexus to me. But if the guy doesn't reply, Nexus is my responsibility now... Which means that I gotta prob hack it and root it which prob will be very tricky since my phone turns off every 3 mins... Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hubono:
You mentioned that it auto reboots every 3 minutes or so, thus Boot into recovery, let it sit there for a while and observe. If it reboots by it self then it's a hardware issue, if it doesn't then it's a software issue and since it didn't reboot while you are in recovery, then you will be safe to flash another ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timgt:
This exact same thing happened to my GSM nexus as well. I have a thread that I never got any help from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1666633

Basically I am screwed and you probably are too. Nothing worked, I tried for 2 straight days doing EVERYTHING. ODIN doesnt work, adb pushing doesnt work, can't get a new rom on the phone.

My phone was NEVER rooted and it ran the factory ROM. Called Samsung in the USA and they said they cant do anything because it is european so I emailed Samsung UK and they said they don't accept phones that are outside of Europe.

So basically you and I are both screwed and this WILL start happening to other people as well, I am assuming it is just a matter of time. My phone didn't even last me 2 months time. I basically have a 400 dollar paperweight that is worthless. I have since gone back to windows phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Pretty smart idea! I'll try that ASAP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
OK so I let the phone go recovery and waited and it never rebooted! This means that it is a software problem which I hopefully can fix it... anyone knows how to install a driver in a corrupted software?

Also if I were to pay Samsung, would they repair my phone? Or do I need to go to other repair store to fix my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
I am asking this cuz I don't have the receipt and Samsung wants receipt...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timgt:
Did you read any of my post above?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
This might sound silly but make sure the battery is properly connected with the pins. My friend's GNex was constantly shutting off. He later found out that the battery was loose inside the compartment so anytime he put it in his pocket, it would slide out of place. He folded a small piece of paper and used it hold it properly. His phone doesn't randomly shut off anymore. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Ya I did. I forgot to reply. I'm at least gonna try best to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Haha that's lucky but the battery isn't the problem for me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timgt:
To see if it's identical to my issue, install an app to your phone and then restart. If the app is no longer installed then we both have the same issue. Seems like some sort of memory issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Oh that's weird... I'll try that then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
OK I tried to install an app but I have to add an apn first and I just don't have enough time to do all that... it just reboots whenever I try...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scottiejon:
my thoughts

unlock, nandroid back up and flash rom, stock or otherwise. had similar issues and reflash cured it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Do you think I will have enough time to install the driver? It's only on for like 3 minutes so it's pretty tricky...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
OK so the guy who sold the nexus to me promised to give me a receipt but still haven't gave it to me which is very annoying. Should I really trust him? Should I just pay someone to fix it? Also do you think Samsung will fix my phone if I pay them even if I don't have any receipt or anything (cuz i need it in order for them to fix it)
