lol wow okay most people learn from their mistakes. Doesn't matter what the tep covers you still pay hard earned money for it.. i'm a tech as well and yeah very rarely i reject exchange requests when I know the phone was bricked because of flashing. If it's at the end of the month i'll maybe reject it because of my AE rate but beginning of the month i'll help happily And you educate urself more after these silly mistakes. Sprint makes way more than enough money from new acts, so considering the cost for insurance, shouldnt be a problem. Deductibles and insurance cost is going up anyways for these new phones with a higher retail price of $550 and thats BS.

I have an HTC ONE X, and had to get help to root it. Now I just got my 3 twelve year old girls, this phone.can someone point me to some directions in how to root it? Also what does the majority here consider good stable Rome? And last one of my girls loves MIUI. Is it working and stable here? Any suggestions I'd appreciate. In return I thank you, and if any of you ever need help with a VCR I'm your man

I apologize if this question has already been addressed, but I can't find any info on it, and am not sure if this is a "just me" situation.

On my DInc OG, using Google Maps, I could press the "My Location" button to have it find me and center my location on screen. A second press would change the view into an angled thing almost like Navigation, but with no turn-by-turn or voice-over. It would follow my location, however, just like Navigation does.

I now have a DInc4G, and the same FIRST press of the "My Location" button does the same thing, but the second press does NOTHING. Am I imagining things, or has that functionality been somehow removed? I really miss it and I'm dying to know more about it.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
working fine for me on UKB.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] devinhfox:
Yes you don't get the angle view anymore but that second tap simply lets you rotate the map around manually (in my experience anyway)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] lwinstead:
Thanks for the confirmation. Okay, I just want to understand this. Has the functionality been removed by Verizon (Verizon-modified apk) or is this an Ice Cream Sandwich modification, or is this an update to Google Maps? I know it doesn't matter in the long run, but it's kinda pissing me off. Argh. :mad:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] devinhfox:
Maps is from market, so I doubt anything to do with Verizon.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] lwinstead:
True, but there lots of apps that are modified by the carrier and then pre-installed on the handset such that you can't fully remove them. (I guess that's two issues right there) Anyway, on my Asus Transformer OG, the Google Maps functionality of which I seek is present. And that's stock ICS, updated from Honeycomb.

I'll keep digging, but if anyone else can confirm either way on this, please chime in! Thanks!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Maps is indeed pre-installed on the Dinc4g and cannot be fully uninstalled without root. I just tried disabling it and installing fresh from Google Play, but the market knows its installed and will only allow an update. (Installing the update takes Maps off of the disabled list, too)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
If you mean Tf700 forum, there already is one...

And I took mine back successfully. Asked for it to be serviced for GPS, WiFi, and random reboots and green dead camera and when the GS agent was typing the info in to create a service ticket he said it was not able to be serviced, at that point I asked for an exchange. Since they no longer carry the Prime, they returned my Prime to a gift card which I used to order the TF700.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mbucks911:
i dont think there is if there is one could you link to it? i can only find the tf201 and the tf300t, no tf700

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
wow, really jealous of you guys out there whose able to exchange their units.. i think mine is hopeless?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] markbraggs:
Managed to do it earlier today after a lot of hassle.

Walked in, went right to customer service. The guy there seemed very willing to help me, but the manager had nothing positive to say to me. She said that geek squad couldn't replicate my wifi issues (even though it was at half signal with their router like 20 feet away with no walls in between), so I said that the GPS didn't work at all. That could be confirmed. She then said that ASUS recalled the Prime and I need to do it through them. I argued that this wasn't the case and I shouldn't have to deal with ASUS at all and stood my ground for about 45 minutes before she finally caved and I was able to order an infinity.

SO not easy to convince them to see it my way, but it worked!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mbucks911:
lol the first store i went to refused to do anything because i went strait to geek squad and asked for a repair and i dont have adh, so they said the only thing i could do was send it to asus. i never mentioned asus's warranty or anything. then i called two different best buys, and did the same thing by asking strait away to talk to geek squad, neither of them could do anything either. then i went to another best buy and went to customer service, they took NO convincing at all and the person i talked to said that they already knew about this problem and that they were instructed by best buy to do an exchange/store credit. they took it in without even testing the problem. im unlocked and i think i was running cm10 preview and i had twrp. they didnt even bother to look at the tablet, they just took the box right out of my hands and told me i could pick anything i wanted from the store or get a store credit, so i asked for an infinity and now its coming between august 2-6. you just have to talk to the right people ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
so are we saying you don't need the adh to do a best buy exchange if you bought yours at best buy?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mbucks911:
i and others were able to yes. if they say no just keep trying
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BrianMigs:
I purchased my Prime Christmas Day. For those who were able to exchange for a Prime, how long ago did you purchase your device? Would it still be possible to walk into Best Buy and attempt to exchange for a TF700 Infinity? Any suggestions on what I should specifically say to Best Buy if I can? Thanks for any help!

Edit! : I found my answer by searching through various exchange threads. I read another post that said to mention that Best Buy has a policy to honor the manufacturers warranty. Make sure this is noted if they try and make you RMA to Asus. Say you bought it from Best Buy, not from Asus and they should be the ones toffix the issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hero_of_the_day:
I'd like to hear from some of the people who voted unsuccessful. 10 people, and none have posted how it went down or anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
id say go for it. dont wait. this luck of the draw could change anytime. you will be pissed if it ends and you miss the opportunity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
Did you order online? Do you still have the packing/return slip? I did and that's what I brought in (along with a printout of the invoice receipt from BB.com just in case).

Went to Customer Service line to report GPS/Wifi issue with device requesting an exchange, and I was quickly directed to Geek Squad, the Geek Squad will try to tell you that it doesn't have GPS and that no reads is because it depends on Wifi. You push back that GPS is main requirement for Google's Android OS. You then show him the Google Maps and it's Navigation and how it will show searching for GPS. Get that GPS Test app out and run that and show him how the Prime doesn't pull in any GPS reads. If you have a smart phone load that GPS Test app on that device and show the Geek Squad guy how the GPS pulls in just fine.

Then hit him with the Wifi issues, show him how you barely get 4 full bars, show him how the Prime slows and lockups, gets ANR messages. He will be looking at your tablet and will likely be seeing exactly what you're describing.

That's what I did yesterday. He mumbled to himself and the customer service rep about a manufacture warranty and sent me back to the customer service girl and I got my store credit. (I never had to mention anything about manufacture warranty, so I wouldn't even go in saying it, they know) :good:

Remember: NO FEAR, NO SURRENDER!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Got_Nukes:
Tried unsuccessful today to exchange my prime. Customer service took it straight to the geek squad. They played with it, walked around the store streaming youtube via the app and through the browser. Acknowledged the app was laggy, but it worked good in browser.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
Then report other issues that are more verifiable, such as I/o performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tmeader:
Look, it's already a little sketchy everyone is doing this in the first place (since it really ISN'T Best Buy's responsibility in any way to have to refund you for this), but encouraging outright lies to return the thing is I think going a bit far.

If there's a leg to stand on it's the GPS issue. Just go with that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Trill43:
BestBuy isn't obligated to do anything after 30 days unless corporate and okays something otherwise its on Asus not BestBuy hence manufacturers warranty
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jrkart99:
Yeah, don't lie. I felt a little sktched out i was unlocked, rooted, and ROMed, but I was one of the BCOKAS from the first round. i did have some issues, wookie made them better for a bit, but it started crashing and wifi drops out kept coming up. i think its lame that it the tablet world that hardware issues become a moot point if someone were to go the unlocking route. i mean yes you could brick or fry something, but seriously, how do you mess up hardware from complete unrecoverable (aside from bricking or being dumb on an OC). If you can unlock, root, and flash and something doesn't work, you flash to something else that does or you go back to stock. if i get a new windows version on my laptop, does that void my hardware warranty?

Also, tablets aren't like desktops that still have user serviceable parts. I can't crack open my tab (i mean unless i really felt obligated i could, but that is a sh*t ton of a hassle) to change things around or fry them. Basically hardware problems for tablets, except under a few circumstances like trying to push the OC or bricking, are basically due to drops/liquids aka "your fault" and therefore not anybody else's problem, or manufacturer's defect.

Besides, i returned my in near mint, not scratches except from the dock and that wasn't even noticeable. There is still a very valuable tegra3 in there that they can put into there next questionable endeveour :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
True, and I even told them I was unlocked to boot. However, the reps need to learn their policies. This is the only reason people are getting denied this, as it is policy. If I were a sup at their stores I would have them in the SDR very quickly to put pen to paper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] diaz2611:
Hello All I went to Best Buy near my house and told the service lady the story about the gps and the week wifi signal she said let the Geak take a look at it and he couldn't did nothing to the Tablet so she came out saying that I had to have Asus replace it so I told her that I didn't buy it from Asus I bought it from Best Buy and the their policy was to honor manufacture warranty's so she went ahead and ordered me a new Infinity it will arrive on the 6th of August. I did not have Adh and I bought my prime in December 24, 2011 But I did have to pay $6.00 for a California recycling fee not bad for a brand new Asus Tablet. Thank you guy's for all your input in returning the defective Tablets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
I may give this a try. I purchased my prime on Feb 22nd. Are they giving store credit to return it? I would be more then willing to take store credit and buy a Galaxy Tab.

Also any luck with the dock? i purchased my dock like 2 months ago. But It does work flawless.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
They did for me, but I didn't try the dock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ugotproblemz:
But the prime dock is compatible with the tf700

Would it work it you bought it from office depot like 4 months ago.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
No one is exchanging them except Best Buy, because of the out of system loophole. If you are past 30 days, chances are you are out of luck
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tlbradshaw:
Returned my Prime, no problem!

I traded my Transformer Prime in at Best Buy today. I didn't have the original packaging, but I had all the accessories. They told me they needed to have the Geek Squad take a look at it, and returned a few minutes later and said they didn't have another on in stock, but I could browse around and see if there was anything in store I wanted. I asked for the Infinity and they said they'd have to order it. It should be here on Monday!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
True, But i was hoping to go to another device (Galaxy Tab) And then just sell the dock or give it away..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
well i was worried like the others. I went in said my GPS, BT/Wifi, Wifi range, force closes, etc didn't work. Gave a list of like 5 real things that weren't working. She was like do you have abh? and I said no my understanding was you would honor the mnf warranty. She said we will, but they don't have TF201 in the system at all anymore. I said what about a refund and she gave me a full refund for purchase price + tax paid at the time in December even though BB gave us a $50 gift card for late delivery lol. So I went home and ordered a TF700 be at BB for pick up Tuesday! While i'm grateful to the crew here on the TF201 forum I'll be moving to the TF700 forum in a few days. Keep on keeping on!

edit: I did not have box, she didn't even look at the tab after i did a quick gps test on phone and tab (phone had 6 sats indoors tab 0), i did include charger and factory wiped in front of them so I knew nothing would be on there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ricbr:
No problem with my return. As stated in the other thread....purchased it on Jan 6th. I did have the box and the paperwork. Told them about the known issues....but I did get sent to the geek squad. So I told him the exact same stuff along with the fact that i was bummed out because I really liked the device (Which is true)....i just get tired of the minor issues. It all worked out for me and I have the paperwork for my TF700 infinity. It will be in the store on the 8th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokopuphz:
I always wonder, who ends up biting the bullet in this situation?

a. ASUS - Even though some of the returned primes will be unlocked, thus warranty void, perhaps they end up having to take back all the units and refunding Best Buy

b. Best Buy - Although some units will be covered by the manufacturer's warranty, the unlocked units would technically not be covered, thus Best Buy simply takes this as a loss. However by providing such services, Best Buy may benefit in the long run by having more return customers.

c. Some insurance company..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
Doesn't matter as much as you may think since Asus can reflash and eliminate the unlock, then sell or use as refurbished replacements.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redheadplantguy:
exchanged for Infinity

I had one year AD protection from Best Buy. So glad i purchased it. took my Prime back yesterday, they told me to choose what i wanted, which they didn't have on hand, of course. she ordered me the Infinity, refunded prorated AD on Prime. gave me full purchase price of prime on Infinity. I just purchased AD plan again. 2 year this time. they had it for me next day. Infinity is what prime owners thought they were getting. GPS is DREAM> 15 sats visible, locked on 12. SD card is recessed now. once it's clicked in, you have to use a thumbnail to push it in. no more lost cards. need to root now, I tried a method earlier, but it didn't work. i don't wanna unlock boot loader until Jelly Bean OTA comes around.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crystalstylez:
Make sure to root you have USB debugging on and Asus sync off. Should work with out a problem.
