So I know you have to let the Prime charge for 8 hours, according to the instructions on first time use, but can you use it while it is charging? Or would it better to just let it sit there and charge?

It came like that I assume. I only really started paying attention to it today, however I did notice it when I first opened my Prime up. I had first thought it had come from the microfiber cloth, but realized it wasn't going away after I wiped it down twice with two paper towels(white color) sprayed in glass/surface cleaner. I had taken these pictures after I had wiped it down.

About the only app that I've seen zoomed personally is the speedtest app. In zoom mode I can't even see the whole interface for the app. On an unrelated note, I had a small problem with my prime earlier. I use Thumb Keyboard 4 and at the left shift key and ?123 key the screen went completely unresponsive. I had to reboot the device to get it to work. Something I don't like so far is that the status bar doesn't go away when I am typing. I keep accidentally pressing the keyboard icon when reaching for the right space bar. This happens with any touch keyboard I use.

So I've had my prime for little over a week and I love it. However, recently it seems to be a little sluggish at picking up my input. When scrolling the screen it can take up half the height of the screen in landscape mode before it'll move. More than half if I happen to place my finger over a link when trying to scroll.

Sending my Prime back for RMA... The only service center in the US that services Primes is the one in Grapevine, TX. After reading this thread I called ASUS back ten minutes after receiving my RMA email. Which is when I discovered the aforementioned fact about bing the only repair facility. I have video documented the packaging of my tablet. I also have photographic documentation of the condition of the tablet and the serial number on both both the tablet and the box.

So why does each stylus I've seen all have large points? I've tried to find a fine point stylus, but the few I've seen have a fine pont that require you to attach a circular disc at the end. Is there a TRUE fine point stylus out there? Like ones used on computer drawing tablets. Also, I sent my Prime in for RMA last week. The rma status page says they haven't received it yet. My delivery receipt said it would be delivered on saturday(USPS). How long should I wait until I contact asus to see if they received it?

Well, ASUS has finally started working on my Prime. I am hopeful on getting it back by next week. I sent it in for holes(possible pitting) in the aluminum back plate. I had waited for about two weeks before sending it in when another problem showed up. The tablet wouldn't charge any more and I could access it when connected to my PC by the USB cable. Right before I shipped it off, I decided to open it up and noticed I had a unit with a messed up WiFi antenna. This is what it looks like, not mine, but looks just like it. Anyone see what the problem is? http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/2caf020a1939613689fd118601c4776d/4f3afe02/8/8/6/3/5/7/FlawedWIFIPCB.jpg Between the copper contact and the copper antenna the circuitry does not connect http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/650c4b3cbf73b1fd0f49889ce82f6a76/4f3afdeb/8/8/6/3/5/8/FlawedWIFIPCB2.jpg (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

So I think my estimation of having my tablet back from asus by next week is kind of optimistic. Apparently my WB5 repair status means I could be waiting for up to two business weeks for them to ship me a new one or send me mine fixed. Either the Texas repair facility is swamped, under staffed or slow is unknown to be. Their turn around time is longer than it should be though.

My RMA changed from "Waiting-[WB5] Wait for Repair\Test\Aging" to "WAITEX". From what I can tell from Google, this means I am getting a new Transformer Prime. Sadly, this can take some time for them to exchange it. I had hoped to get my tablet back this week, it looks like I'll have to wait until next week. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Shorter Than Some posted:How big a deal is the lack of a super ips scree? I was kinda hoping the 300 would be just the Prime with less problems (if slightly uglier), It might be using the same screen as the OG transformer, if it is it means that the overall brightness is actually less. According to notebook review, I would link the articles however I am on a phone, the OG screen had an average brightness of about 332 cd/m^2 at maximum and the prime at 484 cd/m^2 without Super IPS+ mode(514 with).

So I got a new C2O Prime came back from ASUS from an RMA. It's currently on the charger and I'm going to leave it there for about 5 hours. There aren't any visible physical defects on it. The shipping box had a hole, about the size of a screw driver, in it on the top and the Prime's box doesn't have a snug fit like my other one did. I think they re-shrink wrapped it at the RMA center after testing it. I'm really hoping that they have eliminated the WiFi Antenna that they were using in the C1O I had and the earlier models. Over at XDA no one seems to have opened one up yet. Though here are some interesting things they are doing to get GPS and WiFi to work better( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520642 ). Has anyone else gotten a C2O through either a purchase or RMA and what are your impressions of it so far? Edit: This is bullshit! The back light on the new unit won't turn on at all. I can see the word ASUS come up when I turn it on and the table gets REALLY hot on the bottom right corner while it is on. Luckily I am on the phone right now with ASUS and I just learned that they are going to pay for the tablet to be shipped back to them and I will get priority RMA processing.

Kazy posted:It's not saying much, but Samsung at least seems to have better build quality (Or at least QA, hardware wise) than Asus when it comes to tablets. The only hiccup I think Samsung ever had was that update that broke Wifi. Asus, on the other hand, had wifi issues, GPS issues, reboots, and the list goes on. It's hard to explain how a new tablet would come straight from the factory with the back light not working. ASUS themselves had no explanation of how I had received it like that. So far, it's taken them over a month to get me a correctly functioning tablet. I don't know why it just seems like a lot of companies are skimping on Q&A as well as QoS/QC measures. I know of a game that is having this issue right now in it's current beta stages(Tribes: Ascend). For example, they recently released new content for the game. Sadly, there was no Q&A or testing done in-house or pre-release and the content they released was horribly unbalanced.

To get a hold of said GPS offer go to http://vip.asus.com/ Once there, register an account then register your tablet. After you register your tablet, they will automatically redirect you to a page asking for your shipping information. Once you've filled out your shipping information click 'Submit' at the bottom of the application.

May I make a suggestion for the TFP's bullet points? Add a caveat to the GPS feature that if you buy a TFP you can get a free dongle from ASUS on the 16th that'll plug into charge/data port. This means though you can't use the dock or charge it at the same time.quote:On Apr 11, 2012 1:42 PM, <***********@asus.com> wrote:

Cross posting this from the Rooted Android thread. If you have the latest firmware on your Transformer TF101 or Transformer Prime TF201 and want root there is now a new method for obtaining root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622628 A guy on XDA has figured out how to allow firmware downgrades. Which allows you to go to a previously rootable firmware. I have JUST successfully downgraded my TF201 9.4.2.21 firmware to 9.4.2.14. This allows me to now reroot my device as I lost root through a manual update.

Anything made for the TF201 should work for the T300. They are the same dimensions iirc. Currently though, there is no case that supports the use of the tablet and dock at the same time. Edit: Here is a small caveat to what I posted. The T300 is 1mm thicker than the TF201 and the buttons are in different places. SlayVus fucked around with this message at 22:12 on May 11, 2012 |

The hardware support from ASUS is abysmal for their tablets. I've had to send my tablet in twice and so far the total time at the repair center is over one month. They want me to send it back again because I can't receive Over the Air updates. I refused to do that. That waned me to pay shipping for the first RMA and for the RMA they want me to do. Luckily, they paid for the shipping on the 2nd RMA because they sent me a new In-Box TF201 with a broken back light. I currently get my OTAs from people who save the cache files before they update. This way the only people I have to wait on are the people from XDA. So far my tablet experience has been great, except for the RMAs.

I would suggest VPlayer or at least try it out and see if it works for you. It has a seven day free trial of the pro version when you download it from the market. It's roughly a little more than $3 cheaper than MXPlayer and appears to have all the same features. I haven't used for subtitles, but it does support many formats and video formats. It's played all my HD content really well.
