[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hab1:
It seems a bit snappier to me and I've noticed less ANR too. Does anyone know if this has done anything to help with the bluetooth audio delay? I didn't get a chance to test that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ammurad:
Yes I've had the same issue. It happened for a short period but goes away when i open another app. It comes and goes. Very similar to an issue I had with the HTC one X (tegra 3 device again), however went away after a software update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rootusr:
I did a factory reset and that problem went away, at least so far seems to be solved.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mudduck454:
I still get ANRs when using the browser, and even the new face unlock doesnt work properly, I did the reboots, even the pinhole one, but with the face unlock, it doesn't give me enough time to even line up my face, before it goes to the other unlock option.

my wifi seems the same as well. maybe it's because I have a BC OKAS tablet, and not a C3 or newer,

might have to RMA it to see if that helps, but I wont hold my breath.

I wonder how the padfone is holding up???????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SgtBigSmoke:
Another issue.. since the update my Google Talk doesn't seem to be able to maintain a connection for more than about 15 minutes.. loses connection then hangs, have to sign out and back in to fix it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Hmmm.. instead of "what will they improve/fix next?".. this is turning into... "what will they break next?" with each update since launch.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdman:
Well, this morning I tried running Max Payne again and this time is simply strobes and although I can hear the game and menu options clicking in the background, it's unplayable.

It seems that things crash or play randomly but with the best results occur after rebooting. When the games run, they do run well though so what could it be? I/O scheduler?

For those testing .29, are games running/launching more reliably???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jussumguy88:
just wanted to say that my tablet has been "up" and running for 55 Hours without a random reboot. i have to honestly tell u that is a world record for me. lol. and it seems to still be going strong too. so with that being said, i have to say that .28 really did great things in the way of allowing my tab to operate the way it was intended to. i hope all of you guys who are having issues have them resolved quickly. U need this experience that i'm having right now. lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mekrel:
The reason why people are having different experiences is due to two variables, one being the different hardware revisions and the other being people's different expectations.

I've never really had many "sleep of deaths" or random reboots but I've always been unhappy with the web browsing, I/O performance and gaming performance (NOVA 3 runs like a dog).

It's great that some are experiencing a much more stable device but the Prime is still performing terribly considering the hardware under its hood. I'm starting to think nVidia is the AMD of the ARM world, I.e. their hardware is always behind the curve.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
True words. I dont believe that some people have a magical Prime eguipped with faster IO performance. Or if yours has smooth web browsing, post a video when using Prime with Stumbleupon and surfing web. I can post my video soon too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
I do believe there are other variables based on settings and installed apps that are contributors to some of these issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdman:
Do the custom roms exhibit the same problems? I've heard it mentioned here several times how great they are but I haven't really looked into it. Do the games play reliably and well on those?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mekrel:
I've read mixed reports, some saying they're better and some saying they're the same. Personally, I'll never unlock the device due to Asus' strict policy of not being able to relock and not being able to receive OTA's as I believe this will affect the resale value (and trust me, as soon as Samsung release a high resolution tablet this thing will be going on eBay quicker than you can blink an eye).

I also have not been given any reason to believe that this tablet does not have some hardware flaws, simply due to the fact multiple Asus firmware updates have not resolved the major issues. Let's face it, if Asus are stupid enough to not realise a full metal back with poorly implemented Pogo pin WiFi/GPS modules would effect the WiFi and GPS performance then they've probably dropped a few more balls hardware wise that we're not aware about.

If you unlock and the custom ROMs are no better, then you've just toasted your warranty for no reason. I hope Gary Key is showing his line manager the relevant threads on XDA that clearly shows many and rightly disappointed consumers. They're not taking the poor performance of their product seriously, I'm guessing they're happy for time to sweep all this under the rug.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
If they would get the gameing isues sorted out the tablet would finally be perfect :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ohwell:
I had trouble at first with the browser closing as soon as I started it and running slow when it did work . I did a factory reset , rebooted than a soft reset (pinhole by micro sd card slot) and everything has worked great since. I dont think its differences in hardware. Most flash memory devices completely power down when you upgrade firmware than you have to restart them. Why Asus doesnt do this I dont know but its flaky software updating as far as I'm concerned.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chazam:
Pleased with everything except the absolute dire browser performance (not responding). I can easily say that my Transformer Prime is a far worse tablet for web consumption than my Motorola Xoom ever was.

As I primarily use my tablet for web browsing, it's gotten to the point where I find it a pain to use.

A real shame considering the difference in specifications.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indie13:
ANR all over the place in browser still. I wonder if the amount of browser ANRs could be down to how different people use the browser?

I open loads of tabs in the background on sit like Engadget. If i browse only one at a time i get less issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
Someone mentioned Peggle earlier so I am trying it right now.

First thing I notice is once the game is loaded if you bring up the brightness setting/ processor speed the game reloads, time after time.

Second thing is it completely locks up, you can bring up you task bar stuff, but the app itself just freezes for no real reason except YOUR TRYING TO PLAY IT.

I still think in my usage battery is worse than before.

I will continue to report bugs as I have them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RJM77:
I'm still getting the ANRs with the stock browser and only one tab open.

My tablet is also pretty much useless when apps are updating or installing. None of my Android devices have had these kinds of problems before.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] monkeydog:
Everything is working fine except after it has been asleep for awhile it shuts itself off and I have to wait for the whole boot up to use it again... a bit annoying.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jonphinguyen7:
Using the AndroWook version of .28 update. Wifi is increased dramatically, tablet is much more stable. Only 1 ANR on the Browser after about 10 hours of browsing (not at once).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jcoleridge:
I've got no ANR, but i have soms screen artefacts. As the OP, my enthusiasm for the update decreased with the passing of time. Immediately after the update i did the reboot, and then everything was wonderful, perfect wifi, better general responsiveness and so on. After the first artefacts (never seen them in .15 and .21) i did a factory reset and now, after two days, wifi and responsiveness have come back to the levels of .21, and i have random artefacs. And all i ask is: why this worsening?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riyatch:
i have seen some improvement with the update. browser is faster, ui quicker, wifi better, battery life better. However, the browser still lags and the ui still lags. Still does not perform up to its hardware specifications. Feel like i have to be soooo careful using the prime so that it doesnt lock up/slowdown/stall...etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Same with Nova 3. I originally thought disabling force gpu fixed it but that was temporary. For the longest time it wouldnt work even after several reboots. Just constant flickering once the game play starts and can hear sound and if I press fire I can hear it shooting. Then eventually it started working again after a reboot. I havent checked today but its probably gonna crash again. I may just go back to .21 with the modded build.prop again. Browser ANR was annoying but atleast I can hit wait and it will be fine. But having to reboot several times just so I can play a game is much more annoying.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pennhaven:
No ANRs so far, but I've already experienced 2 SODs. C3.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clintonroche:
This is happening to me too, but it was doing it before the update as well.

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hasan10:
I am having the graphical glitch on the left side of the screen, which was fixed in .21 but returned in .28. It is really burning the whole experience, as I was soo happy with .21 update with modded build file.

Can we downgrade to .21 by placing the updater file in microSD card?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justcookiesncream:
I've already experienced multiple browser ANRs and 4 reboots, 3 of which occurred while browsing and the fourth when opening up an application that pushed a notification while I was browsing, for Christs sake.. What is Asus doing!? I own a Razr.. Call me shallow or whatnot but my Razr is dual core.. Shouldn't it theoretically be 2X as LESS efficient and SLOWER? It feels really disappointing when my phone can update apps in the background and performs this without hiccups so much so that I've already forgotten that I was updating.. It really is a farcry for the prime.

But back to the topic .28 has honestly made my tablet a my tablet a little worse.. Back when I had .21 Random reboots were and browser ANRs were present, they were there but hard to emulate. The ONLY good thing about this update is that gaming on this tablet is FLUID thusfar (Max Payne , MC 3, Shadowgun THD) Gaming seemed smoother than before.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rcca:
That's great! boy with this new .28 can be a big hit or miss for some of us. 50-50.

For some of us it works great, or improvements, for others not so good.

I have been reading all post here and TF forum. Seems like every time we get a update to correct the other update before this update and in the passed for the ones that had problems it fixed most of their problem(s), and the ones that had no problems and they do the update which created problems for those whom did not have any problems.

I now Asus and the team is trying real hard, but no thanks, I think I'll keep my .13 since it came put with 0 problems, except the old problems with the default browser we all have, I'm using Dolphin with maybe 2 waits a month, YouTube, and Games flawless.

Hope .29 will be better?

You could be right! ????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] woodsonmh:
When I read these post i become more confused about prime issues. Why do i have "more" or "less" problems than others. 1. Asus doesn't have its act together. 2. Possible hardware differences. 3. Manufacturing quality. 4. Something I've been thinking about is we as owners don't have a ground zero for our complaints. What i mean is the root not root question, or What software is installed? I have software installed that i would expect to do nothing when i stop using it . Xda app is an example. Why does it continue to run in background when i exit it. Im not checking memory im checking cpu cycles. I,m browsing, it slows down, i check and xda is using 50% of my cpu time. ???? Stop xda and browsing returns to normal. 28 does seems better. My point is how can we have a meanngfull discussion if every one of our machines are different.

I dont know if its possible but i would be willing to set my machine to a set number of specific programs. Load program in question to se what happens. See what we can do to fix it . I have choosen to keep my machine unrooted so thats a limitation on my machine.

If someone with a better understanding what set it up im willig to help.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] psx2pal:
You can try this: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...green-screen-camera-problem-2.html#post192321

If it doesn't work, you must send it to asus for repair.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yuhfhrh:
Thank you for that post but I think its a hardware problem because now I'm in a bootloop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
man, this is too crazy how varied the results are from update. can't lie though, id be pissed if i was having some of these more serious issues. other than different apps installed/setups, we need to find out why results be so different across the board.

to the poster above, if you can't get out of bootloop, try downgrading. use sending in for RMA as a last resort.

maybe even try to reinstall the manual update from Asus site, if possible. check out developement section. some ideas in sticky threads that might be able to get you out of bootloop. good luck
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yuhfhrh:
I was able to get out of the bootloop by holding the volume down and power during one of the reboots. Then I cleared the camera data/cache and popped it open, and it was still flipping out, but it lasted long enough for me to hit reset to default settings, then it caused another reboot, and now my camera works again. :) So if anyone has a problem similar to me, these would be the steps that worked for me:

1. Clear camera data and cache

2. Open camera app and reset settings to default (Easier said than done)

3. Reboot

But I'm still getting random reboots every 20 minutes or so, and THIS IS ALL ON STOCK. I only have minimal apps installed. Never had any of these problems before and I'm going to try and downgrade back to .21, or maybe bite the bullet and unlock and try cm9.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MegaPantheR18:
Well, I had the same situation and camera also started to work after these actions. But, unfortunately, it became green again. It's now in service center but they said, that I can take it back on Monday. So, if you need, I'll write the results in this thread.(I had .21 when this problem was stated)

P.S. sorry if my English wasn't correct!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beady_uk:
Demandarin,

Have you got the new .29 beta yet? And what issues is it suppose to address?

Its actually 28.5. it could change n they send me a newer one.

Will it fix freezing Gmail issue? It seems like I'm not the only one and Gmail is very important to me ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 131313:
Have to admit that I have missed some of the posts in between. So my post is probably just another redundant one:

I am sure you guys have done the trick with the reset from the pinhole next to the microsd-card. Push a pin for 30 seconds into it and let the prime restart. Do whatever but before getting carried away do at least two more reboots and then start testing. Tell us the results in this thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Well, this update is getting worse and worse each day. I wake up & I find something new that is wrong with my tablet. First... for some unknown reason... when I turn on the prime again... I was stuck in bootloop.

Hard reset and etc.... resolved it... but now... screen tear on the left appears way too frequently (instead of being sporadic) & reboot happens way too often. This is all on stock, default setting from Asus (nothing changed since bought), and only a handful of apps installed.....

I have also reached a point that I can't take another constant "tease" by....

Hardware issues.. software issues.. etc etc etc.....

At this point, I'm just hoping for fully functional NvFlash.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Demandarin, I thought that you wouldn't bro? lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
demandarin,

Something you could suggest to Gary is that Asus contact some of these users suffering from bad problems, and swap tablets with them.

I think it would really help Asus immensely if they had some of these "problematic" tablets in-house for when they do their testing.

Obviously the tablets they're using aren't having these issues, so it's not an accurate cross-section of the hardware out there.

If they had these machines in their test labs, maybe it would help them get to the root of the problems once and for all... unless they're quietly aware of the issues and don't want to sink much more effort in because they're shifting the focus to the Infinity (and their other new offerings).

That being said, if they're having problems with scheduling of background apps, they maybe you've hit the nail on the head in terms of what this issue is (different people having different apps installed). If that's the case, they should be getting app lists from users with issues. Is that happening? Gary used to be quite vocal on here and has all but vanished.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
Are everyone that's having problems running stock prime? I unlocked & rooted awhile back & I must say roms make the prime shine. Especially Wookie's rom! :cool:

no not with .13, or any other problems, sticking with .13, had it since it came out.

Had my Prime since Jan.9 2012

Using Dolphin, only get 2 "wait" in a months time. No crashes, no reboots. Games run rea good, and You Tube, super!

ssemsub fromom;27419197]Just downloaded Max Payne and tried it out... was going okay, until the screen started flashing and froze... exited using the home button.

Something interesting (might just be a co-incidence), but it seemed to happen right as a gmail notification popped up in my taskbar.

Demandarin, if you're reading this, I saw a post where you mentioned that .29 has better thread scheduling with respect to background apps... is this connected at all?[/QUOTE]

I'm reading it, bummer! I just down loaded it too, but only thing is not using .28, using .13

Not rooted, B serial number. Since I had my Prime of Jan. 2012 never had much of any problem except the usual with the Default browser, but been using Dolphin for about 3 months, only get the "wait" maybe 2 time out of the month. All games and You Tube run FLAWLESS! Yahoo! I don't think I'll ever update any more, at least for now for what has been going on with most guys & Gals.

I love Max, had it on my Hi end desktop and Max 2. Good luck! hope you or Asus resolves something?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
That sounds like a great idea! I'm sure people having problems would appreciate a unit with a late serial number in exchange.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SalsaForte:
You really think it's hardware related?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
I'm a middle of the road guy. It's not a perfect world, so I don't fully rule out either software or hardware.

Obviously products are honed and perfected to some degree as their manufacturing life cycle matures. If remote troubleshooting doesn't work to remedy their problem, and through a screening process they cull some samples from RMA to basically do forensics on that unit, that sounds like great feedback. I wouldn't suggest doing it wholesale, of course, but with discretion, I think its useful.

I haven't been through RMA with ASUS but it also seems handy if they could sort of Remote Desktop to see what the owner is seeing on that device, depending on the problem. That, and maybe a system tool to gather details and get a better idea of what's causing a problem.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] migo_dk:
I just updated to .28 in Denmark this morning.

Serial No.: C20KAS1xxxxx

Previously my bluetooth was non-existing, but i received a dongle to fix that (thanks Asus).

The Wifi signal strength was around -70dBm (sitting aprox. 4m from the AP), with constantly drop-out. Only way to get around the drop-outs was to disable and then enable the wifi again.

Unfortunately this update doesn't seem to have improved any of the above.

Besides the Wifi and BT, my prime is working very well.

Thanks for the effort so far to try to fix this. Keep it up guys.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
Maybe, maybe not... I think it's "system" related though (the sum of the hardware and software and/or configuration.)

Point being, if Asus were testing on some of these units, they would have seen these issues prior to deploying.

I mean, they tested for quite a while, and still missed these issues, which means their testing or hardware is not representative of their userbase.

C4o checking in with issues with latest update, so I doubt it's hardware.
