SO after all the people worrying me I got mine today from Game Stop. Opened it up, rooted it, installed root keeper, upgraded to ICS and upgraded the camera. Wifi works fantastic at my work so far, and GPS locked me on me as soon as I upgraded Google Maps. It wasn't 100% perfect but it was accurate upto 20 meters.
I know this isnt a blog site, I just wanted to give some positive feedback after reading all of these nightmares forever.
Also, I am using wifi and my bluetooth mouse with no problems either.
Now we just need some love from ASUS so we can get some custom ROMs/Kernels
Told ya..lol. Glad to hear its working well for ya.

I do NOT want to be the one to rain on anybody's parade and insist that someone shouldn't love the product they just bought. Hell, I love my Prime as well, although I'm still debating whether to return the one I have with broken haptic feedback in hopes of finally getting one where at least every major component just functions at all.
That said, we do need to keep the issues clear that actually do exist. So:
1. If you have GPS completely turned off, Google Maps will still locate you to 20 meters via wifi-based location services. In fact, you might find that your GPS actually is turned off by default (I can't remember whether mine was on or off out of the box and following the ICS update). However, locking to 20 meters accuracy when connected to wifi has pretty much nothing to do with working or non-working GPS.
2. If you have another Bluetooth device to try other than a mouse, it would be interesting to see if you can stream more data (say, a BT headphone and streaming audio) and retain full wifi performance at the same time.
Nice to hear, I hope it stays (almost perfect).
Just to worry you some more:
Make sure you are streaming audio to a bluetooth from a video or something online. YOu want to make sure your BlueTooth is actually streaming something, and not simply turned on.
Check the edges of your screen. Make sure your screen is not lifting away from the back. This may or may not be a problem for your, but for my prime and some others, the glass appears to be raised above the Back Panel and can basically be pushed flush against it.
I love my prime, I love it. Except, I cannot update it cause I have no Serial Number. Even with my screen a little raised, and some light bleed on the right hand side, I would keep it if I could update the firmware. But I cannot, and have to take it back.

Google maps locks on for me at 20 meters accuracy. Although when I try Google Nav. No such luck. Glad yours is near perfect

You all are funny..lol
Everything is nice on my Prime. The one thing I noticed on the native video player when playing mkv files. I would get these lines outside the playing video. But if played from a third party player like mx player I have no problems.

Mine is almost perfect save for a spec of dust under the LCD which causes a small greyish dark shadow on white/bright backgrounds...Problem is best buy where i bought it from is out of stock...and with the unknown serial number problem seemingly becoming more commonplace...i dont want to risk replacing this one that works perfect and has one small imperfection...and getting one thats unrootable and unupgradeable...im thinking i will just keep this one and RMA it later on if need be when the bugs and issues have been worked out down the line after all the tab is covered by a 1 year warranty with Asus.

I am not the OP...but ran this test with 20 minutes of streaming video from YouTube and Netflix without issues. I think some people got a bad bad batch.

What Bluetooth device were you streaming to; presumably it was audio? While you were streaming to Bluetooth, did you do any SpeedTest runs? Would be interesting to see if you were able to maintain full Internet connectivity over wifi while streaming to Bluetooth...
my replacement ATP should be in today or tomorrow..i hope so.
They have one from a preorder that never picked up and the manager and I both agreed that it would be better not to open up one from the same "batch" but try fresh with this new batch..regardless if the units being released now are the same as before...(i doubt this from a production/shipping standpoint..otherwise if no new units were created...why the massive shortage upon release?)
the last question was more rhetorical.
Glad to see you have yours....I love mine other than what others are facing...screen separation, no GPS(none), WiFi is intermittently crappy...BT issue is intermittent..and something i haven't seen anyone talk about..i have a dead-zone right where the WLAN module seems to be. I've used both the developer screen visualizer and Multitouch Visualizer and have posted the video's confirming it "Skips" at the exact same spot and ONLY that spot.
Being an original transformer owner....I am in love with this one! IMO It is working great right out of the box smooth as butter.... I really don't know whats up with all these post about ICS being buggy,laggy,crashing.....?? This tablet is going to sell because its nice,fast,the screen is amazing and it's beat every other company off the line with cutting edge software & hardware... I'm not saying its perfect but it sure works for me.
I heared Gamespot have some problems with returning policy so im afraid to order one from them... happy to hear you got a good one tho.
but why did you root it? is that a MUST ?

My first Prime I got from GS non tablet store. I was able to return it within the 30 day policy. I just explained about the GPS and random shutdowns and that was that got my money back and now have my replacement from OD. I'm happy and rooted! Can't wait for the unlock bootloader tool.

Better word/excel processor, free for now, try it out
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.onlive.desktop
It isn`t available for my prime in market
Not available in my country (Norway)
MarketEnabler solved the availability
So its better than splashtop?

I was just reading about this from last week. I haven't used it yet, but it's a free virtualized Windows desktop from what I understand. Meaning it's essentially just like Splashtop in that you will have a Windows environment, however you don't need to provide the endstation you're connecting to like Splashtop- they create a virtual one on their servers. How much you can install on it or how long the sessions persist, etc, I haven't figured out since I haven't used it, but ideally this would give you free access to the Office Suite from anywhere for creating docs...
Anyway, like I said that's my understanding w/out having used it. Off to try it now
EDIT: Anyone getting it to work? I created an account, and when I try to log into the app, I get stuck at a "Connecting" hourglass...
Working super well on my Prime. Just upgraded to the $4.99/month plus version (Using it to post this - much better experience than splashtop for me.
not working for me :/ telling me my internet isn't high quality enough, even though I am on Fios, with 27000kbps download, so I dont see a problem.
Can you use Firefox or do you have to use Internet Explorer?

how did you install it on a prime?
same with me, says "Network Test Failed: OnLive was unable to complete an iInternet connection test. This might be caused by your router or firewall blocking certain internet traffic."
Tried this at work/home networks and tethered to my phone. No dice with all options
It's working super fast on my Prime, but I was let down when my keyboard dock didn't work. You have to use a built-in keyboard from their VM. I suppose I should have expected it, but I was looking forward to using a fully-fledged word processor with my Prime's keyboard.
Too bad.
Thought Id try this out, works great on my prime with flash and the browsing is amazing.
Definitely worth the extra and has increased what the prime with its dock can do.
Have to say that this kicks ass for a free service. Wonder how they support it considering I haven't seen any advertising yet.

My keyboard dock is working. Restart it and try again.
My keyboard works fine also. Is there a way to download programs? I don't think there is, but that would be awesome
Could someone post the .apk. It's not available yet in the Netherlands.
Thanks in advance

Works wonderfull from the Netherlands.
Don't forget to registrate (free) on the website of desktop.onlive.com, otherwise you cannot log in.
Cheers
Not working for me
It's not working for me either. I sideloaded the app on my prime.
It tells my my connection isn't good enough, which is strange considering I can run Onlive just fine.
Anyone got a workaround?
Hi guys,
Looking at getting this phone but i can't for the life of me find if this supports Bluetooth with the MAP profile. I just got a new Toyota Yaris that has support to read and send messages but my current phone doesn't.
Can anyone confirm if this phone has it as i know the Galaxy Nexus doesn't. Or could someone with a SG3 test it on a toyota?
Thanks,
Matt
I'd really like to know the answer to this too. Ford's MyTouch is another vehicle that requires the MAP bluetooth profile for messaging. Crazy that it isn't more common.
Looks like we will have to wait a few days until someone with the car gets one. I guess a lot of people are too busy playing with the new toy to worry about that just yet. I know i would be!
I've posted in several minecraft forums with no luck, so here goes.
I have two HTC Flyer's running stock 3.2.1 with Sense.
My boys enjoy playing minecraft pe and connecting to one another.
The problem is that neither Flyer will host a game.
I can start a game on an ipad, iphone 4s, touchpad with cm9, and other devices, and the Flyers will find each game and connect no problem.
When I try to start a game on the Flyer and set server visible, I can not get any device to find the game.
All are on the same wifi and have tried multiple routers.
It appears to be something in the way the Flyer handles the Wifi, but I can not find any settings or tweaks that work.
Any suggestions?
I've thought of trying a different rom, but the boys use the tablet's to skype with their grandparents and all the newer roms do not have the camera functional.
Thanks
Mmm, well my friend and I play it together as well... He opens a wifi hotspot (even though he has no 3G plan/connection) and I connect to it and play... We have phones, could it be that u need a SIM device to enable wifi hotspots? Try doing same with 2 iPads, if wont work then you need to have the host with a SIM device... Is their a problem if someone playes on iPad other one on Flyer?

Problem appears to only be with the flyer acting as host.
If I open a game on an ipad, iphone, or other android tablet (even opened one on an mk802) and the flyers can connect to it every time. However, when I start a game one either flyer, nothing can see or connect to the game.
Try reinstalling Minecraft, or check the Visible/Invisible Server settings.

Done both of those and even that didn't help. I've ran through as much trouble shooting as I can, that's waht led me to believe it had to do with something the flyer was doind in how it handle wifi on minecraft.

Does the WiFi on your Flyer work with everything else?

Finally figured it out. After much googling and reading, I accidently left the flyer part off a search and ran across a thread with the same problem on an HTC desire.
Seems it is bug with Sense 3.0 and minecraft pe. So far nothing has been done to attempt a fix.
So now I'm trying to figure out the best rom to choose in which camera functions and sense has been stripped.
Thanks to everyone for their input and thoughts.
Hey everyone, Picked up a Logitech Revue (with google TV)
This supposedly cost the company an arm and a leg and flopped, it was discontinued I think in 2012 or 2013..
Anyway ran across one at the junk store for $1 so I picked it up.
I tested it out everything seemed fine, I was running it offline.. tested some music, movies.. no problem.
Side loaded some apps but pretty much everything crashes.. My collection of APK's are drawn from ARM/MIPS
This device runs a Intel Atom so no surprise there.. anyway It had the original owners info on it so after testing I decided to start fresh.. BIG MISTAKE.
I factory reset but when it came back up it demanded to go thru setup.. no way to avoid that I can see.
First it wants net.. well ok, then it wants google login.. errr.. well ok.. then we get to step 7.. acceptance of Logitech license.
We get a error.. I know it's got net access so im assuming logitech has shuffled some things on their end and the device can no longer get a valid response.. since you can't skip setup there is no way to continue and im left with a brick
I searched google but found very little about the device.
Any information, advice, help would be appreciated.
I really just wanted to be able to surf the web, stream music/movies from local network, and maybe find some compatible emulators for games, I think this would have worked just fine for that.
Well no responses yet, but im not surprised, given the obscurity of the device and issue.
I did recieve a response back from Logitech support, Basicly, they admit it's a problem, there is no fix, since support ended for the device you're just S.O.L
So as a warning if you have a Logitech revue and it's working.. DO NOT EVER RESET IT.
"Please note that we can no longer complete the setup for this product once it is reset. No further update is in place for Logitech Revue as this product has been discontinued already. Admittedly, there's no fix available to get around this."
Hopefully someone where can come up with some idea's.. otherwise Im stumped.. can't find much on the net about it.. no modiffied firmwares or anything
I am stuck on step #7 too...
What I can tell you is that it is failing on a call to discovery.logitech.com... That appears to be an IIS / .NET webservices server, it's up and running which makes me think that the endpoint that the logitech server uses has been nuked or some backend db has been shutdown which sends back an error. Can't really tell what the exact URL is as the request is HTTPS, so it doesn't show up on the http proxy.
A port scan shows the following open ports:
Open TCP Port: 5222 jabber-client
Open TCP Port: 5223
Open TCP Port: 9551
Open TCP Port: 9552
Open TCP Port: 45399
None of the ports respond to adb, however 45399 does respond with a http 400 (bad request).
Maybe if we had someone with root who could dump the firmware we could figure out something else to try... :\
Bump?
I really wish I saw this before resetting my revue. It worked great for what I needed. Now it's a paperweight.

You and I, have almost the same history ($1.30) I connected the Revue, triedout and working perfect, but has a Google Account off the previous owner, and I decided to make a factory reset... now see me here... like says @jsmcmahon89... i wish i saw this before making the Factory Reset,

Mine stopped booting so I thought a reset would correct the issue. It boots up now, but I'm also stuck. Boo for planned obsolescence!
Yes, I too having the same issue, my google account got locked, so i was getting error like retry.... then i thought to change the email account after reset, but unfortunately it is not able to change even the email account and not able to pass through step 7 of 11. as you said this box is just like a paper weight, so, I bought a Raspberry PI 4 with 2GB device and installed LineAge 16 OS (Android 9) on it and now I am enjoying LIVE TV as well all internet TV like Hotstar / Netflix and YouTube...
