You know what... I used to have screen freezes flickers and all those stuffs whenever I played a game. I was really unsatisfied with how my prime performed. Then I decided to use demandarin's modified build prop to see if it might get better. And the result was??? No you're wrong. It didn't really change a thing. I suppose my prime performed better at first but after quite some time the problems came back. As I thought the build prop was useless and it might mess with the next firmware update, I decided to revert back to my original build.prop. Then BOOM! All of sudden I no longer have any screen freeze flicker or whatever. Everything is just flawless. And yes, horn plays flawlessly on my prime. I'm not entirely convinced though that this is a legit solution to prime's game freezes, but I guess it's worth checking out.

Add my vote to the very satisfied with my prime......now 8 months old.

Stay on topic guys! And stop the trolling!

Thread cleaned.

I played for about 15 minutes before it got too boring (I am not a gamer) flawlessly. Should it have crashed? I am using Baked 3 preview 3 as my rom.

Might have played longer if sixaxis worked properly with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
from 18th of august^^ but near future can mean alot of things :) But i think asus isnt behind or anything, Samsung for example also takes longer than expected for its SGSIII JB update. I think its much more important that they get it right this time instead of just pushing it out asap.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nickedynick:
What he said.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
There was only one beta firmware release back first of June then Gary disappeared other than the occasional vague post in his thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knowaczark:
Owe, fingers slapped...

Beta testers.....any feedback from latest release from Gary?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
When official Jellybean update for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 & Galaxy Note 10.1 gets leaked to be flashed by ODIN..... & Asus continues to go "mum".... Doesn't this even kill off the last remaining defense for Asus??

Asus is quick with OS updates (not f/w or s/w patch for minor & security updates... Samsung has been better on that aspect over Asus) unlike other OEMs....

Well, they aren't doing too well in this department either....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yuhfhrh:
I think asus is actually testing the software this time and trying to get out as many bugs as possible. Then once Samsung announces their updates, Asus will push our updates 1 day before them lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
Leaked: Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and Galaxy Note 10.1 and nothing from Asus for the Transformer Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goraps:
Why do leaked ROMs have anything to do with who is going to release first. Just because Samsung can't keep a lid on their ROMs in testing doesn't mean they are any closer to release than Asus is. We have no idea if those leaks are the first iteration or close to the end. If history is any indication I would put my money on Asus being first.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmccracken:
It wasn't "leaked', it was posted on their website for those that wanted an early peek.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
It was released early in India... so, it isn't even a leak. It was official release... (Did I mention Samsung uses Touchwiz.. yes, Custom UI on top of Jellybean....)

And lets not bring up history of ASUS.... the less the better... otherwise, one can say... "each update from Asus made my tablet worse.. or new problems have risen, & blah blah blah".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
There have been like 20 jb leaks for sgs 3 in the past 3 weeks. But the update is nowhere in sight :) so leaks don't count.

And let's judge the prime firmware when it's here. If it Sucks you can always unlock and go custom, at least that's what I'll do :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] point_pt:
ASUS have released JB on TF300, weeks ago, so, at the time, samsung is still far far behind ASUS in this update...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
ASUS? And testing? In the same sentence?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Just wish they would hurry up - at least say what is going on ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmccracken:
If they are actually thoroughly testing the release, it will never be released because it will never perform adequately on their defective-by-design hardware. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
The never-ending cycle. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
They did ;) even here in the forum:

I guess you just have to drink a few more teas :P Watch some GSL Starcraft2 tournament in the meantime. Best game ever. http://www.gomtv.net/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knowaczark:
Lets try again, Beta Testers, any feedback from latest release from Gary?

Remember him?

I see its still like mos eisley in here
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sputnik767:
I don't think this is true. Even common sense would dictate that new memory can't perform this bad naturally, when even a phone as old as the original Evo runs circles around the Prime in I/O speeds. As I've said before in other threads and maybe this one, The Prime's flash memory is not so bad as to naturally perform as bad as it does. It takes a perfect storm of stupidity, incompetence, and simply not giving a damn about repeat customers to screw this tablet up so badly for so long. While I don't think this tablet runs the best memory out there, it can definitely be made to perform better. Asus just needs to do their part. Or at least give our devs a decent kernel that they can work with.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Off topic but has anyone seen this yet? They likely about to release these soon.

http://eee.asus.com/en/vivo-tab/features/

I hope Asus releases JB for you all soon. Its overdue and sorely needed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bergoulle:
Me 2, I think they are busy with windows 8.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
Agreed, the Prime is in serious need of some fixing.

What makes it more frustrating is the radio silence from Asus on the matter. I messaged Gary (very politely) about 2 weeks ago asking if there was any sort of status update he could provide, and no response.

As well, on the Asus Google+ channel (or hangout, whatever it's called), Asus stated on August 20th that the Prime was the "next stop" for JB after the 300. But, nothing has materialized, and they too have ignored all requests for a status update.

Their use of social media is extremely frustrating... they really only seem to use it to self-promote, and not to actually keep their customers in the loop on things.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bobbyball:
Come on Gary do we not deserve your attention anymore?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moist:
It seems as though Gary doesn't visit this forum anymore. Looks a pretty lost cause to me! Just pretend it didn't happen, and focus on newer products. This seems to be their strategy. Suffocates the fire of angry customers as well...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Gary was/is nothing more than a PR guy, his mission was simply to calm the flames from all the negative press the prime was getting ... hes succeded tbh.

Dont be suprised that he hasnt been around .. hes more than likely been deployed elsewhere.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] amaectpo:
I think Asus forgot about as. They have new flagship - Infinity and they have T300 and it more sold then our Prime. And they don't have so many developers. Prime it beta device. Why they didn't roll out Jelly Bean? They have firmware from Google - Nexus 7 and it have hardware like our Prime. Maybe they can roll out clear Android 4.1? Before Android 4.1 - Asus roll out newest version very fast, but now other Company rollout more faster then Asus. I think they did'n interest for update. They interest to sold more and more. Way like HTC....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:

Great first post
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knowaczark:
I think Prime users are screwed based on the total lack of support and info coming out of ASSUS.

Times to seek legal counsel before they claim "no one complained about issues" with this POS.

Gary is hung up in "marketing lalla land".

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drvsbsm:
When they fall all the way out of the Android community, because they are so much into widows 8, I will have no mercy on Asus. I already stopped buying all their other products, you can get the same quality with equivalent products, such as Gigabyte Motherboards, etc, pretty much anything Asus makes that is decent quality can be found and bought from another manufacturer. I use to buy almost all Asus motherboards and other computer related items, not anymore. Asus have no customer loyalty at all, I see that now.

When you buy a top of the line product such as the Prime or Infinity and their bottom tier products get updates before their top tier products of the same lineup, that's a$$ backwards business. I did make the move from the Prime to the tf700 Infinity because it was free, I complained about all the issues and they finally swapped me out thankfully, but I still visit this forum because its like home ground owning the Prime since launch and hopefully everyone on here finds a way to get the place you bought yours from to help you do the same thing with a swap out. If not I would find some way to get all new parts in your Primes!

It seems Asus has given all the love to our brother the tf300 why am I still running 4.0.4 on a $540 Infinity tab when the 300 is running the newest 4.1 JB Rom? Whats even more crazy is the Rom on the tf300 works on both the 300 and 700 you can flash the 300 rom straight to the 700 with a small issue (DPI stuck at 160 I think), I'm sure Asus can fix this issue and implement in a quick code and the 700 and most likely the Prime would also be rockin JB right now. So whats the hold up for the Prime and Infinity getting actual JB rom @ Asus? IMO The thing is the 300 is cheaper so that equals more purchases and many more people will see JB on it and buy it at the lower price so they put JB 4.1 on it first, WTF Asus.

It just Sucks the way Asus has done us, Asus is dead to me, except for the 700 which I own not by choice even though it is a good tablet, maybe the best tab out right now, depending on what you do with you tab. Asus better hope their Windows 8 tablets sell really good, I think others feel the same, left behind! Asus will hopefully learn their lesson from this mistake, people will remember this and when they don't get any love from us buying their tablets in the future either Android or Windows, other manufactures will sell just as nice windows tablets and I will buy from another company that is known to support is customers.

The only reason they gave us the dongle was because the feared something big, it wasn't a good gesture! Anyways sorry for the long winded post about this sh^tty support, the whole thing has been an Asus mistake from the beginning, the only way I can see them digging out of this if its even possible would be to let all Transformer users dual boot Android and Windows free of charge if that's even possible to do IDK. That would save them a lot of customers but its not going to happen even if its possible to dual boot Win8 and Android.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] amaectpo:
Windows 8

Windows 8 don't need update like Android. You buy Tablet with Windows 8 and use it about 2-3 years? the MS provide new version Windows 9 and you go to store and buy tablet with it. No need many developers, no need beta many testers/ Create Tablet install Windows 8 tests it and then sold. I think because of this Asus delays the release of an update for Android. They prepare Windows 8 and want to release tablets in it, as in fact do not need support. And once a year, will be releasing the tablet Android. Asus has thrown us. They behave like HTC. HTC has lost because of a large market share, but the Asus tablet is not the core business. So forget about them
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Jelly Bean will come^^ I dont know what the problem is... Asus is the first company that upgrades their devices to JB. Yeah right now the TF 300 is the only device that got it but i'm sure the prime/infinity will follow soon. Samsung for example just delayed everything to october-november.

Just because they dont babysit the small prime community here every week doesnt mean they have "completely forgotten" us or something :D

I really wonder why you guys havent sold you asus tablets yet if its THAT bad... Yeah waiting sucks but at least we know it will come for sure and that Asus is one of the fastest upgrade-bringing companies.

Btw i'm not a fanboy or anything - but lets try to see the situation for what it is instead of this whiny "they have left us, we are alone, OMG no one will ever care about us anymore because all they care about is win8". Thats simply not true.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whalemonster:
Exactly. It always amazes me how quickly and easily some XDA users can translate temporary silence on the part of Asus into such vitriol! We're all eager to get some official JB action on the Prime, but just because Asus isn't posting daily progress updates doesn't mean they're not hard at work making it happen. Stop demanding new info every five minutes and just let them get on with it.

After much work, user feedback and testing they perfected ICS. Yes the process was flawed, yes it was released too quickly and essentially turned into a huge global beta test, but they stuck with it until they got it right. Jelly Bean should land any day now - keep the faith and put a lid on the childish ranting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blarok:
I dont think Asus is srewed up like that...

You guys are very overdoing it right now! There are no other tabets in the market that run JB except Nexus 7, TF300 and some of Huawei (or what was it?). Sure you can run the 300 Software on Prime and Infinity, but that doesnt mean it fits perfectly!

I have some issues with my Prime (3D Bug), and i hope they will be fixed with JB, otherwise it would be a useless update!

Well, at the moment, you are right! But it's a fact, that the Smartphone and tablet Market are increasing VERY VERY FAST while the Desktop PC and Notebook market are stagnating further and further. It's only a matter of time till the Tablet's (and Ultrabooks/ Convertibles) will be Asus's main business. Even MS noticed that and changed their software...

Asus itself said once that they want to become one of the biggest producers in Tablet market if their Slider Tab and Transformer TF101 are selling well. And as you see, TF101 sold very well, so they created more and more tablets with this concept...

Windows 8 is just a further step on their way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eiriklf:
Got it right? I certainly do not see it that way, and it is the main reason I am so annoyed with asus right now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] amaectpo:
But Asus Prime sold not good, like Asus think. Because it have many bags and very higth price.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
Temporary silence? It's been months since we've gotten any real update (verbal or software) from Asus.

They perfected ICS? Wow....I just don't know what to say to that.

Months without an update wouldn't be a big deal if the Prime didn't suffer from chronic problems, but it does.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThiaiZ:
+1 here :).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
1. Moto Xoom got Jellybean before TF300. As in, TF300 isn't the only tablet with Jellybean.

2. Samsung announced that it will release Jellybean to International SGIII as soon as "OCT"..... Jellybean for Galaxy Tab Note 10.1 got an official release in INDIA already. The leaks/previews are based off of that.... to be flashed by non-India residents. Btw, did I mention how easy it is to flash ROMS & return to stock (and get official updates) for Samsung products??

3. Let me know if you can find me a buyer. I've tried..... first, due to by morals... trying to sell defective product to this degree is just wrong.... but I couldn't find a buyer to begin with. If I were to re-sell to Best Buy or Gamestop and etc.. they are re-purchasing it for less than $100 bucks. I will be taking $400 hit (btw, this was about 2 month after Prime's launch.....the re-sale value on Prime is atrocious)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whalemonster:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thom4s:
They said they are testing and will release the different versions as soon as they are ready? It's just september ... I wouldn't start complaining before the start of november.

I hope my Prime gets JB, otherwise i'd feel screwed too, but i think you should be more patient. There's no point in them saying the same thing over and over rigth? It will be released when ready .... if that's all they ahve to say they don't have to repeat it, it's clear. That's the current JB status: it will be released when ready.

Also, I must say I'm not that unhappy with my Prime ... it runs fine, it has been a good while since i restarted it and ti's still going great without anr's or something. It's not superspeed but it's ok and gaming is great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cenonmin:
For me I don't mind if JB does not come, just give us a stable reliable Prime damn it. I am sick of SODs!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sputnik767:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adlerson:
I'm glad you guys are not having any problems. Personally I haven't been able to play any 3D games in six months now. That's running stock. (Not going to root, camera broke so have to RMA it.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clockwork58:
Another +1

Except for stock web browser.

When testing the mobile web store that my work has, the page doesn't refresh properly when you click on a link.

Sometimes it needs pressing like 4 times. so retarded.

Otherwise, i have no issues with my prime.

patiently awaiting JB, or a windows tablet, whichever comes first. but my wife will prob get the windows one.

lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
Sorry, what?! ICS on the Prime is about as perfected as cold fusion. Between ANRs, system crashes, etc... it's a freakin mess. I unlocked and installed a custom ROM and the difference is beyond apparent. Seems like the XDA devs have the ability to create a far more stable and enjoyable experience than the clowns at ASUS do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djmcnz:
Don't worry - "After much work, user feedback and testing they perfected ICS" - earned XDA joke of the year, it was very, very funny!

Anyways, back on topic. Any update from Beta Testers?

Any Beta Testers out there? Didn't think so. They all met Gary at Best Buy for a free Infinity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I found this to be very funny. I wish they would've gave me a free infinity. RESPONSE TO PREVIOUS POST SARCASTIC HUMOR

Ill try to see again if I can get a response from him or preferably have him address the forum with a more exact date on JB release for prime.

I'm not sure how they spreading their resources out but this link here might be why its taking longer than usual. http://www.zdnet.com/asus-windows-8-tablet-pricing-comes-in-high-demand-likely-low-7000004378/ SPECULATING of Course

Update: I sent off another email to Gary asking for update on Prime situation and Jellybean. Also, If it was possible if he could somehow push or influence a faster release of jellybean update(as he has more influence on things than people realize) . more importantly, if he could address the forum personally in the form of an update post or whatever.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
You of all people should seriously retract this statement.

And no, it makes absolutely zero sense by defending Asus because "their" resource... as that be their s/w dept....might be heavily influenced in Windows 8.....

There's absolutely nothing Asus s/w dept. can do when it comes to Win 8 tablets or would be heavily involved.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clockwork58:
No I don't work for Asus.

I work for a company that provides apps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Heard back from Gary earlier today.

Update 2:

I heard back from Gary earlier today. He said they " are busily prepping the JB images for the Prime and Infinity units now" . He said the latest beta just entered Google's verification testing. Also said once he gets a date that's close to release, he will post it in this forum.

Hopefully it'll be sooner than later for you all. Everyone has been waiting long enough. I know JB won't solve everything but it'll likely at least breathe some new life into prime. Making it more usable and stable for those experiencing S/W issues. Plus speed things up, UI wise.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fonduekid:
How does this beta testing / JB release certification thing happen? I mean, the steps or stages? I remember reading somewhere here on XDA some time back, that it goes something like [ Asus gets JB ready > lots of beta testing > send it go Google for verification/certification/whatever > release to us poor people ]??

Is that correct or is there more to the testing and release process? I am wondering if this 'latest beta sent to Google for verification testing' is a significant step in terms of getting JB out to the public or is it just a process in the whole cycle where it will be sent back to Asus who will spend more time fixing things Google asked them to fix?

Thanks and cheers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lorthirk:
Well, in theory it SHOULD mean that, if Google approves it, the beta become the official update that gets rolled us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pandaball:
Verification testing is where Google runs the firmware through CTS testing to ensure it is compatible with current Android distros and doesn't break anything. I suppose more stability and usage testing is done as well to make sure the firmware is worthy of being given Google approval. It typically takes a few days unless they find something wrong, in which it gets sent back to Asus, Asus fixes it, and the testing continues until Google is happy.
