Slower in doing what?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goraps:
So the one Asus support guy as you put it has left the planet but you still feel the need to complain to Asus on a forum for development that really has nothing to do with Asus???? I for one am tired of the complaints flooding this forum. It really gets in the way of useful information. It is a shame to see what this forum has become. Why don't you flood the Asus forums with complaints don't you think it would at least make a little more sense? I am not going to try to tell you or anyone how they should feel about a product they purchased but I do feel making your displeasure known would be more constructive elsewhere.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slybarman:
Sorry pal. Joke is on you. See you in the TF700 forum. :cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goraps:
I wouldn't know I don't have the time to read through all of the pages of complaints and exchange threads to be able to find it. Oh and it is just development not " developments"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kngyr:
Did you ever think that there are so many displeased customers than content ones? hence the "pages" of complaints. If things had been right 9 months ago then there wouldn't be 9 months of complaints.

Not many on here have been lucky enough to receive a prime in good running nature.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goraps:
Like I said I am not telling people to be happy with their prime. I am just saying this is not really the place to complain about it. This is a place for solutions. That is what brought me to XDA over 5 years ago. People had come to expect that the WinMo smartphones were not perfect nor really supported very well, so we came here to come up with solutions and pass them on to others who were in the same boat.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Nope. BB isn't taking them. That's a fact.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knowaczark:
OK, if you say so.

"And all these so called "development" with/for the ASUS EEE Transformer Prime are what?"

Yep....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sputnik767:
Yes, IO is much faster on my old Evo than on my Prime. And when you have such a huge bottleneck, fast CPU/GPU doesn't really matter. Let's put it this way: when I bought the Prime, I fully expected it to be faster than the ipad 2 (the 3 wasn't out yet). In theory, it should be faster than the ipad 3. However, what we got can't even compete with the original ipad in terms of overall usability. I am comparing to the iPad because as much as I hate to admit it, the ipad is the best out there in terms of overall usability. Not to start a debate here, I do feel that Android is vastly superior, but I have yet to see it done right. I thought the Prime would have been it. Yes, the UI is smooth, but constant browser crashes are absolutely unacceptable. And it takes about 10 seconds to open a relatively large powerpoint presentation, plus additional minutes for it to load the slide previews. Saves take a long time, rendering images in presentations has a noticeable lag, etc.

So let's recap: this tablet can't efficiently or reliably browse the web, most games don't reliably work judging from posts in this forum (I don't play games), powerpoint is pretty much unusable, Wifi is weak, GPS is useless, and battery life is crap when wifi is on. It doesn't even make a good frisbee. So tell me, did I spend $500 on a photo frame?

No, there is not a perfect tablet. But I could have spent half the price on the original ipad and would have been much happier. And that is a 2-3 year old device, so that should tell you something. This kind of performance and lack of support is acceptable from a $100 tablet sold on the street of Chinatown, not a premium device at a premium price.

I am not asking for a perfect tablet, I am asking for one that works. Screw your workarounds, I paid $500 for a tablet, not a project. I don't have the time to sit there and fiddle with .blob files, SD cards, and file system tricks to get acceptable performance. Any company worth their salt would never have released such a product, and any serious flaws should be fixed in weeks, not almost a year. If you are curious as to why Apple is so successful, it is because their customers are actually happy. And yes, I am rooted, unlocked, and running Jellybean off of a class 10 SD card. Contrary to your belief, I couldn't care less about an ETA of an update. The proper fixes should have been out months ago, therefore Asus is either incompetent or simply don't care to properly support their older devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
Well said and since this is the "General" section of the Prime, I don't see why this isn't the proper place to complain about the Prime. Development is found in the "Development" section IMO.

Since I do play games and we are comparing the Ipad. I have to say that I force my wife to reboot her Ipad every once and a while just to clear it out. I have to reboot my tablet everytime I play a game that has decent graffix. I've already had to reboot twice today. Once because it wouldn't connect to the wifi and the other time because my background was all white. I haven't even tried playing a game yet. Pretty sad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bergoulle:
Gary is working for Apple now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bjfrank:
If this is not the correct place to bring up our issues, please educate everyone where the correct place would be. Calling or emailing Asus support will get you nowhere. As you said, this is a place for solutions. The issues need to be brought up before a solution can be found. So far, this seemed to be the best place to try to get Asus's attention since Gary and others from Asus were reading the postings here. I really like my prime, when it works. All that I am asking for is a fix so that I don't have to reboot just to play a game and a tablet that actually performs like it should with the hardware it has.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Yes. I feel like this is the major issue with the prime that's needs to be fixed ... can't be that hard to make games work without crashes man!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slybarman:
So what exactly is your agenda behind spreading misinformation? Do you get off on yanking people's chains or is there some actual constructive purpose. Right now, I am left deciding between fool and a-hole, so please give me a third option.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sulfobus:
Running JB off the sdcard sure sounds like a project to me. Maybe your'e overdoing it? I run stock .28 with sio scheduler and browser2ram and play all games, (almost) no ANRs, stock browser is fast, no crashes. Sure it's not perfect, but definetely usable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nickedynick:
None of the last 2 pages of posts has been about the beta tests. If you want to complain, go and do it in a relevant thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmccracken:
This IS the relevant thread because THERE ARE NO BETA TESTS! That is the problem, Asus completely abandoned us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YoMarK:
Asus already stated that a JellyBean update will come to the Prime in September/October. This was already known when this thread was started.

Edit:

And if you don't want to wait that long? Unlock it, and flash 1 of the many stable ICS/JB roms out in the development forum.

Don't want to wait on the (hopefully) updated ASUS kernel with I/O fixes(my only problem with the Prime)? Try the above with this workaround: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1803252

Expecting above-average Wifi on the Prime? Will never happen, it's a hardware problem.

Expecting real back and forth feedback from a electronics device manufacturer? Solution is to lower expectation...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmccracken:
Again, as many have stated: I didn't pay Asus nearly $800 to void my warranty and screw around with half-baked ROMs. When I pay that kind of money for something, I expect a fully-functional product. Mount option hack jobs that sacrifice filesystem integrity for performance ARE NOT FIXES.

I have seen no authoritative statement from Asus, nor have I seen any data to support the idea that the JellyBean update will resolve ANY of the problems users are experiencing on the current ICS ROM. All I've seen is speculation from people that don't know the difference between an #ifdef and /dev/null. Show me an actual kernel developer that says "yes, JB will definitely improve I/O, ANRs, Wi-Fi, and/or Bluetooth on the TF201" and I might start to believe it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand33099:
Where did you see September/October?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drherron:
Troll? 10char
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
1. Umm, no they didn't. They didn't mention any date ..... just... "in the near future/coming soon".

2. Many? You mean a very few "preview" or unstable ROMS of JB.... or discontinued ICS roms?

This is the general section. You keep mentioning this is the section for "devs/helpful" or whatever stuff..... well, you are forgetting that many of the problems with ATP is due to h/w.... thus, we can't do jack about it (unless, ppl risk by opening up their primes & tweak the backplate or whatever). Complaints are... part of finding a solution & our right to demand ASUS to change their attitude towards ATP. Plus, if you hate reading about "complaints"..... just don't read them. If you are looking for s/w help... read the DEV. section. There are things YOU CAN DO PERSONALLY as well to avoid reading all these "complaints" that you dislike so much. Also, if you are perfectly happy with your purchase/Prime... more power to you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goraps:
This is the General Section of a Development Forum, hence the name "XDA Developers". Yes reporting problems are part of getting an issue rersolved, but this thread has a purpose and moaning to Asus (who I think we all can agree is not listening in this forum and likely not in this thread) is not it. This thread was for feedback from Beta Testers but now like so many other has been hijacked by complaints. Go to Asus' forums to complain. It makes more sense then here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
This thread was created due to ASUS reps "DIRECT" participation in this forum. And last I checked, there aren't any BETA f/w that was handed out for beta testing...

Asus directly involved themselves in this forum, so... why is it so wrong for us to "reply" to them directly in this forum? It is all "even" game once they sent PR.. not a dev or engineer to get involved in XDA DEV forum. Asus was looking for feedback (or imo, they were here just for damage control).... and we are rightfully giving them our FEEDBACK. Complaints are part of feedback.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fireplug:
My take, as someone who is not a developer but competent enough around computers to have no issues flashing new software to android devices, is that mostly I am just really confused by how ASUS has handled this. I am currently running Androwook 2.1 and, though it says discontinued, in its current release it is rock solid stable and quick, and if it was the official latest release of software by ASUS there would be much less complaining by us users. It won't fix problems with hardware manufacturing obviously, but has turned my dust collector into a device full of joy again.

So if a rom has been made now that fixes most of the software issues, why hasn't ASUS released their own? It doesn't have to be perfect, ASUS. Very confusing as to why they are dragging their feet. Especially since the problems with the Prime have been well documented on all of the tech sites and forums. Why would ASUS settle for all of the bad press without really doing anything about it? Just really strange.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sputnik767:
Oh it's definitely a project, and not one that I signed up for when I bought this thing. But it is the only thing that made the tab remotely useable. Almost no ANRs is unacceptable, and by your own admission, you had to use browser2ram to make it work. Again, at this price point, this tablet should be as close to perfection as possible, and not just an expensive photo frame. That means useability out of the box, not forcing us to void warranty by unlocking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Yes, and what do they expect to happen when Gary Key makes a post like this over 4 weeks ago and not a peep since:

It's almost like they want us to get angry with them :laugh:.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rebelwithoutacause:
Have any of you guys that have been involved in the beta testing received news on a new firmware update? Demandarian?

9.4.2.28.5 - 20120607 is the only beta test update I ever got.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mikerla:
which bestbuy did you go to? did you need the box?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Unfortunately, No. But Ill try to find out what the deal is. Also will mention it would be a good idea if he addresses or update this forum on what's been going on. Or the reason for the delay.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rebelwithoutacause:
That'd be much appreciate it. I am pretty certain that the remaining Prime owners would like to know what's going on and if another update is on its way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Haha. Sorry, dude. Should have made a proper quote box - post edited now. I just wanted to draw attention to the now full month since we heard any more about this fictional update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Please keep me informed as well ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YoMarK:
The fix mentioned is an option to mount the whole /data partition on an ext partition on the microsd card(without sacrificing file system integrity). This "fixes" I/O problems(main cause of the ANR's) on the Prime if you have the right microsd card. I was skeptical at first(how could a 20 Euro microsd be faster then the internal storage right?), but it really works.

Also, if you don't want to unlock, you could still try the SIO module to get the most out of the internal storage(and lessen ANR's).

I understand that you want Asus to fix the real problem for you(and they should), but all i'm saying that you actually could enjoy the Prime right now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drherron:
Albany NY (crossgates mall) Had the box, but others have indicated the box is less of an issue than the transaction I.D.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
i asked this in that main thread in dev section but no one answered it wtf...

all i wanted to know was... if you mount your data partition to an external SD and benefit from the fast cards read/write speed thats great however what happens if you eject the card accidently?

many times i have my prime in my back pack and when i get it out the card is ejected or missing because it fell out after it was ejected.

will this cause data corruption since you are un-mounting the data partition at that point?

what really happens?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YoMarK:
Ejecting the sdcard would definitely mess up the Prime's running state, and depending on the moment(when it's writing data) cause some data corruption. However, the ext4 filesystem is pretty robust, Android does not write very often when it's idle, and even SQLlite(used for storage in most apps and system) has some mechanisms to keep data as safe as possible.

If you'll eject it accidentally, you'll have to reboot to get it properly running again, but then you will be fine(not better/worse then a system crash). Worst case scenario is indeed data corruption, but I don't think that will happen often.

Note: system/cache/dalvic-cache still runs of internal storage so that would not be affected.

Update from Gary

Gary just posted an update:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justcookiesncream:
Well.. so now we know that there's a quality check involved, makes me wonder how all the previous updates went through
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyan_osu:
Well the 300 just got the OTA to Jelly Bean. Let's hope the rest of the line gets it soon
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] point_pt:
Previous updates works fine in many units... mine is working fine.:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] arby80:
Well Gary said that Jelly Bean has passed testing. That means it should be released in January going by how things usually work out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Well.... hopefully it arrive soon....

Based on TF300T Jellybean update

1. Linux Kernel is on 3.1.1

2. Wifi Direct is broken (not that it worked well, or at all for Prime owners to being with)

3. Adobe Flash is gone (thus, backup your adobe flash apk to reinstall)

4. OTA Root keeper works....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
I see visions of infinity users asking why the 300 got it first.

And cool finally Gary finally made an update even if it was too late.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
1. TF300 & Nexus 7 share the same Tegra 3 SoC (T30L).... thus, it probably was the easiest ... TF300, out of all Transformer Pad.. is closest to Nexus 7...

2. TF300 probably sold the most unit as well.....

Edit: If Asus can get involved into something like this (instead of sending their PR dept. for dmg control)... it will be fantastic...

http://www.androidcentral.com/google-launches-experiment-bring-aosp-vanilla-android-sony-xperia-s

But of course... with Asus (still hasn't provided official nvflash & lame unlock bootloader) & Nvidia in play... only a pipe dream. =/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Wow that went faster than i thought, now lets see when the Prime is in line, but i was thinking more like late September/October for JB update^^ :) yay!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Whatever. All Asus does is disappoint. When JB comes out for the Prime, I'm sure it will suck, just like every other update they've pushed out. I have plenty of evidence supporting this assumption.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pandaball:
I think they did a pretty good job with the software side. Sure, there are the occasional sleep of death issues or browser not responding issues, but no software is perfect. Can you name any Android rom by anyone which is dead-on stable and has never crashed at all? Besides, when it was released they released a string of updates really quickly. They slowed down because they were doing JB, not because they ignored us or something, They have somewhat half-assed the hardware side of things, but I never use GPS, wifi is fine for me and the sio scheduler has fixed the i/o issue somewhat. The reason why I got the Prime was because of the keyboard dock which is the standout feature of the Transformer Pad series. Yes, TF300 and TF700 are out, but I would gladly take the Prime over the other two. And please, don't call me a fanboy. I'm merely happy with my Prime despite its shortcomings. Why not wait until we get JB before delivering your judgement on it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThiaiZ:
Sup mate? Good to see u here. Didn't know you had a Prime.I am also happy with mine, worked great since day one. C you around on O3D forum. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Dude, try a Nexus 7. I know Asus made it, but Google handles the software, and it's a million times better than the Prime. It's stable as hell, no ANRs, no sleep of death, etc. Stop giving Asus a free pass for its ****ty software.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vittogn:
My Samsung Galaxy S3 is stupidly stable and smooth. The launcher redraw sometimes and auto brightness is a bit aggressive. Nothing more than this. Never heard about a crash or sleep of death.

Miles better than my Prime with an allmost unlocked bootloader out of the box! No need of custom or AOSP rom as stock close to perfect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I agree the sgs 3 is amazing. That's how android should be. But the prime is almost as good. Only issue I have are crashing games but other than that... I'm in nerd heaven with my prime+sgs3 :D things could always better but I've never regretted my acquisition of the prime. Made several presentation for my studies and wrote essays on it, watched a season of game of throne with my wife while travelling. And now it's getting jb. Pewpew!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moist:
Can we please put this thread back on track... We want updates of the update status. This is not the positive transformer prime thread...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I dont think there is any beta testing going on right now and Gary posts in the stickies. So this thread could be closed^^

But there will always be a thread here where people just ramble on talking about what they like, how they feel, what they dislike and how the consistancy of their latest sh1t was :P

It might as well be this thread for the moment!

Hey,

Is there a way to move the notification bar from the top to the bottom. Like the paranoid android rom? I'm currently on TMT MIUI beta7.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
I think these are the features included in the AOSP,AOKP,Paranoid Android. Just change DPI to below 213 and u'll get tablet mode... :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danteoo7:
In Paranoid android rom you can use your phone in both mode phone mode or tablet mod

And in tablet mod the notification bar is at the bottom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangal:
Hey is there a way to put the status bar to the bottom?

Not like PA/Tablet mode. In phone mode, so a swipe from the bottom to the top opens the notification window.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
If u r on paranoid set dpi to 213 and ui mode to phone UI and u ll get nav bar at the bottom with phone UI. :D

Thanks I'll try that.

I wished it was possible on other AOSP ROMs, particularly AOKP.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iptelesys:
Hi guys

Problem here... Default mail application on Galaxy 3, stock ROM -> Connecting to Exchange 2010 -> Connects fine -> Problem is it then asks for a default pin or password. Now I can't get into the mail until I set this, once this is set then I have to put a pin in everytime I unlock my phone, which is a pain in the ass, has anyone found a way to disable this password policy

Kind Regards
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cromozone:
It's a setting that has to be changed on the Exchange server itself - it's obviously currently set to require the mobile device to have a PIN. Speak to whoever manages the server to get it changed :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iptelesys:
LoL, only problem is I admin the Exchange server, but very limited on advance function, stopped Windows support in my MCSE NT 4 track, so exchange 2010 isn't my specialty when it comes to making changes like this.

Does anyone know the steps to take on the exchange server to revoke this policy.

Kind Regards
