[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] uapyro:
I did it through their online chat. I said I wanted to exchange the TF201 for another one just like it because it was crashing frequently after doing the latest update and doing a factory reset.

It took a minute for them to get back with me, and they said that their warehouses didn't have it in stock.

I asked if they expected any more in stock, and they said "don't worry, we'll give you a refund".

I asked if it would be a complete refund, or partial. They said something like "it won't be a full refund" and then said "I made an exception so you will now receive a full refund." after a moment.

I think they did that because I really was trying to exchange it for another Prime. Otherwise it would have been a partial refund.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
I don't know if anyone here shops at ABT, but I'm quite dissatisfied with the fact that they don't care about this at all. The only thing they've offered to do is mail it to Asus (they're an 'authorized service center' which essentially means they've got cardboard and printed shipping labels ready to go). Looks like I'll be scewed because of where I bought this lemon (garbage green camera, wifi/bt useless together, constant reboots).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ScandaLeX:
You point out they're an authorized service center. Do you want them to service it? I don't know what ABT is and your post isn't clear on what you want them to do for you.

Has anyone had any luck exchanging their sub-Prime at J&R?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
ABT is a long standing (since the 70's) local (to Chicagoland anyways) good quality electronics store. Like Frys or Microcenter, but with more appliances I guess. They also sell online. I didn't really MEAN to buy it there, but they got some in stock right before Christmas when we were all running around trying to get these lemons (yes, I had a preorder that got tossed in the trash).

As with most people here I'd like it exchanged. Even if it is repaired (green camera) I've heard more than enough "I've had my camera replaced 2/3 times now, now I've given up" stories to say definitively the ONLY true fix known to last more than 6 months is a new TF300/700, BOTH of which use a new and identical (between the 300/700) camera module.

They claim to be an "Authorized Service Center". What I'd like to be done is the tablet exchanged for one that will actually last (TF700), so I can unlock it with confidence as I've done with every other device I own. NONE of which have ever had so many defects as to make me seriously worry about keeping a warranty.

They (ABT) list themselves as an "Authorized Service Center" which apparently only means they're able to slap on a shipping label and RMA to Asus. To me an "Authorized Service Center" would actually be able to, you know, service the device. As in, have a small stock of motherboards, touch controllers, screens, and ESPECIALLY these cameras that are obvious pieces of excrement, and like ONE guy who actually know how to open it and swap parts. It's REALLY not that hard. If I had a relationship to get parts from these guys (Asus) I'd be doing the labor myself HAPPILY.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mustang_52:
Had anyone has any luck with gamestop?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ScandaLeX:
@compuw.....do you really expect your device to get exchanged after nearly a yr of ownership?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Or a repair which will give me a working camera for at least a year (no bimonthly RMAs like some here have reported) and working concurrent WiFi/BT. Oh, and no more random reboots. Also, its closer to 6/7 months, and many of us were assured by Gary that many/most of our concerns were being looked into. The fact is we all got beta hardware. For a camera and back retrofit I'd also be happy. I want what was advertised to me for my $500, no more no less. For better or worse, this seems to be the simplest option.

I should mention I fix computers for a living, have purchased MANY motherboards, routers, and essentially talked at least 6 of my customers into buying their products. So I feel slightly more disappointed in my lemon. One more reason the surface is going to shake things up considerably...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
Since you work on computers. They don't need a backplate retrofit. You can fix wifi yourself with some solder wicking material. Definitely something you can do for yourself, and since you already rma'd they have done the tough part of opening for you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
First, I shouldn't F-ing have to. Second, my WiFi alone isn't broken. The aluminum reflects it and the BT back at itself causing rf feedback. The only fix that wouldn't look like a piece of test equipment would be a milled out aluminum back with the plastic window. Not owning a milling machine or a way to bond the plastic strip without it looking like absolute garbage it isn't something I can truly "fix" without access to parts of Asus' manufacturing. That said, they do have this capability as they're making tf300/700 backs.

Also you completely fail to mention the still worthless and repeatedly failing camera, but thanks for playing.

I absolutely hate to draw this comparison, but do you think anyone in an iPad forum is telling people to fix their own antennas with some solder wick wire and just "deal with" a broken camera? I don't think so. This was nowhere near cheap enough to be considered a "knock off"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rosshalz:
Yep, If you would've said u wanted to return it, you would've been offered only a part refund. Happened to me.. Good news is i'm gonna try again in a month or so...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
Ok,

point 1. I dont work for asus and nobody else here does either. So all of your multi-paragraph rants and complaints about your camera through multiple threads are at the very best useless.

point 2. This is my prime (with solder wicking wire providing better ground for the 3 antenna ground points to the backshell http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29685066&postcount=1085 running baked bean 3 preview 3) streaming hbogo and connected to a Bluetooth speaker.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJhWFH5sVmo

Could not do this running stock and prior to fixing the ground points...Sorry to not give a damn about your camera but if mine breaks and I can fix it I will let everybody know how.

Point 3. I dont have an Ipad anymore because it was no fun, must have been too good for me.

Point 4. engaging ignore button now. Thanks for playing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
I am also capable of fixing the camera. However after contacting Tein repeatedly asking for the ability to purchase said replacement part and him telling me it's not possible, I've resorted to trying ebay. For months, absolutely NOTHING checking ever week. Then a week or so ago, I found one! First try was a failure (seller claimed he was parting his out) but the first camera I've seen sold on ebay. Upon receiving the broken one, I look again and low and behold, another one listed by a seller who had LOTS and LOTS of Foxconn stuff for sale. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that it was unused brand new :) Should find out later this week. Replacing it is actually quite easy. As far as me posting in every thread about my camera, one of those threads are regarding downgrading camera firmware so...relevant. Now I'm veering so I'll stop. I'll let people know if I'm successful in a thread regarding camera. /Discussion
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drherron:
What about Credit card extended warranty

Has anyone contacted their CC provider to see if they would refund the $ for a defective prime? Many have extended warranty programs and may be more forgiving than your purchase point or ASUS...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] umbopo:
I know that AMEX and Discover have the automatic extra year on mfg warranties, I imagine Visa and MC do too. I used Discover as they gave me $50 or so off at the time. Unfortunately, I purchased from J&R who don`t want to know anything about it. Hell, they have open box 201s for sale now so they don`t seem to be returning them to Asus. Oh, and they no longer stock new ones.

Anyway, the extended warranties via credit card don't take effect until the first year is up so you`ll have no luck with them until that time. The warranties are administered by third parties. I don`t think you`ll get any love from them at this stage. If I cannot get anything done before the year is up (Jan 3) through other channels then I plan on trying that route. Hopefully it`ll work.........sigh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
Pretty sure my Dad paid for it with Amex (AX on the Receipt indicates Amex, right?) so at least it gives me a it of hope. I'll see what happens when I send mine in for RMA but I don't hold much hope. Stories from others and the feeling that Asus will screw me over because of a dent from when I dropped it long after problems first arose (The camera broke months ago and I dropped it about two weeks ago) will be my downfall I feel.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krighton:
anyone have any luck with Newegg?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jhosche:
TigerDirect

Anyone have any luck with TigerDirect? They told me to just keep RMAing my prime to Asus and that they wouldn't do anything about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ScriptJunkie:
People in other threads say they couldn't get a refund. That they got to talk to the managers at some stores and they all told them that unless ASUS recalls the device, they won't do a refund or exchange.

I got mine at Fry's.

Anybody tried to to return it at Fry's?

Hello, I just wanted to make a poll regarding the usage of the wifi hotspot with disabled entitlement check. I know people got threatened from AT&T for using this service with out their permission, and that they were going to lose the unlimited data plan privilege and be charged for the hotspot service. I don't have an unlimited data plan but I still want to know who got the "letter", whether you have unlimited data plan or not.

If you used this method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1328588) to enable the hotspot service, I will appreciate if you participate in this poll.

Thanks!

No I think he is wondering if anyone has got the dreaded "Stop Tethering or we will charge you and remove your unlimited plan" letter from AT&T.
[Motorola Atrix 2] fran7382:
I have a 2 GB data plan, I tether occasionaly and I've never been threatened. Yesterday I googled if AT&T can tell if I tether illegally... then something scary happened around like 1 am today:

I have no idea what happened but everything is good now and my data is back on.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:
I've had that happen a couple times to me. I have no idea what causes it, but it happened before I ever used tethering.
[Motorola Atrix 2] fran7382:

Oh sorry about that then. Havent got that one yet lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] ed20910:
My wife got the email in June. She tethers a little. She had a spike in data usage and maybe threw up a red flag. Guy at at&t store agreed like he had no clue about it. We have both received the throttling email and text. She hasn't used tethering since, scared to lose unlimited but throttled data.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
No letters sent to me, but I have a rebuttal prepared for the slim chance that they do. It's got plenty of colorful adjectives to describe my feelings toward them, should they be so inclined to 'threaten' me... :cool:

That's about how "professional" I plan on being if they try that crap with me. I've already left Verizon, leaving them a $1,700 dollar bill that I kindly gave my ex- wife in the divorce, and I'm certain I can come up with something equally painfully-in-the-ass for AT&T...

Thanks to everyone who cast their votes! I hope more votes keep coming. Although, so far I'm realizing that not many people got the "letter", just one person with unlimited data.
[Motorola Atrix 2] brandogg:
Verizon legally can't stop any users from tethering on their 4G LTE plans (it was included in their LTE spectrum acquisition), which is why they just had to pay off the FCC. AT&T however is allowed to do so.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Tethering had nothing to do with why I left them, that was all decided when my now ex-wife decided in two months that she'd rack up phone bills of over $700 bucks each. I gladly let her have that. But, so far AT&T has been rather good to me. I don't suspect they'll bust my goobers since I've been with them so long...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] freeman_g:
Strange to hear that it is slow as colleagues from 7500 forum are really excited with the speed of ICS update (and I believe that firmwares should be almost the same). Have you done full wipe?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
Anyone else get this?

I'm one OTA behind, the incremental one that came in about a month ago never installed on my tab.

Thinking of going back to bone stock in order to OTA up to ICS and get the necessary files over to Pershoot but not going to do that if this OTA isn't really rolling out yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jakesteed:
Yeah, about that--first boot left it somewhat sluggish when scrolling through homescreens & widgets, launching TouchWiz apps and responding to touches. But subsequent reboots seemed to fix that. Browsing in Google Chrome is a VAST improvement over the stock browser in 3.2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] eXiled Killah:
@Jake: were you able to send this info to pershoot?

Looking forward to pershoot's implementation
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
I had checked with Pershoot on saturday and he hadn't heard from jake . . based on jake's past postings I chalk this up to someone being close to Samsung or Verizon development who's unable to share specifics but wanting to leak out a hint of info. Basically confirmation we'll get an update but still no ETA. I for one appreciate the heads up and will continue to wait it out as patiently as I can. Would love to be wrong though, and to find out that he is in fact able to send files off to pershoot. That would be fantastic.

How to become part of Dev Channel

Hi sorry for asking the question again, but really want this updated and dont know how much longer i can wait for Verizon to move their ass; but how do i become part of the Dev channel?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Caede:
I recently (a few weeks ago) wiped and reloaded my SCH-i905 tab with stock (Verizon) HC so I could get LTE back, since my regular phone bit the dust; prior to that, I had been running CM9 builds for months and living on wifi only, tethering to my 4G phone when needed. I've since eliminated the need for it that, so I've switched the tab to CM10 now. This really highlights for me how much I want the LTE for this. It's so beautiful... should have sent... a poet. Pershoot and the CM group are doing such a great job... please, Samsung or Verizon or someone, release the source so we can have the 4G LTE kernel module!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Marshmellow92:
how can i root my tablet? i have the verizon 10.1 sch-i905 tablet. there is like no development for these tablets man
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Serpentene:
I believe the Tegra 2 SOC is inadequate for Android 4 ICS and 4.1 JB where the manufacturers

have reasoning to be shy in providing OTA releases.

The tablet is maxed out on 3.2 HC @ 1.4Ghz overclocked already.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] evilz51:
not really sure I should dignify this with a response... but considering all the other variants of the galaxy tab 10.1 with the tegra 2 SOC being upgraded why would the verizon version be any different?

not to mention the other devices with a tegra 2 getting ICS/JB...

really I dont think your comment has any basis in reality
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dmmcd:
Samsung says we are getting ICS, they just won't say when. Apparently the T-Mobile version already got the update...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] evilz51:
I actually suspended my verizon line with them for the Galaxy tab 10.1 until such time as they get off their ass and upgrade it to ICS...

The sad part was they didnt even care.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Serpentene:
My comment has an absolute TECHNICAL basis in reality, first the SCH-I905 is not parts identical to any other 10.1 size in the family tree and the Samsung wifi only as an example is not system burdoned with a broadband modem and GPS locator and SIM card.

The screen is totally different and is calibrated different as well with a higher white point calibration that lends enhanced gamma but quicker battery drain.

And when you upgrade to ICS you will be taxing the Tegra 2 tab even further than its limits so you will have periodic response I/o delay, HD video jitter and stutter, even greater battery drain so fewer operable hours between charge, and you will not be able to appreciate the added benefits.

Ooh but you will have some cool wall papers and menus sweeping to play with. Enjoy.

4.0 ICS and 4.1 JB is designed for newer chipsets like the quad core Tegra3 which Btw was simultaneously manufactured with the Tegra 2 and was quickly released soon thereafter..how and why?... the early Tegra 2 10.1 adopters more than made up for a sweet profit negating the extra Tegra3 manufacturing added cost.

Get real.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] eejimen:
