I wonder if there's a way to find out who makes the LCD panel for the Prime? That looks like LG's handiwork. They had huge issues with screen bleed on the O2X/G2X and got dropped as a supplier to Apple because of it. Sorry you drew the short straw. At least you'll have it to use until you can exchange it or send it in for repair. GameStop has a 30 day return policy for defects so make sure you get on the list for a second wave unit in January if you're going to exchange it.
It's worse in person. The picture dims it more. I don't want a freebie. If later down the road I sell this I have to knock the price down even more and most probably wont even buy it.

Thanks for the info. I'm on the phone with them now. Man this sucks. I wanted to rub in to my friends face who has an ipad2. Now I cant.
EDIT: I need to talk to a manager tomorrow to see what they can do. No one really has them in stock. Also they said they cant do refund since its what they consider a "system". But i'll what the manager can do tomorrow. Maybe I they add my name to the next batch like you said.
I'm not really surprised the way they had to rush these things out. Just sucks I ended up with a bad one.
damn i feel for u bro. i have light bleed but its only really only noticable on the asus boot screen...
put up a fight, we didnt pay this much and wait this long to have sreen bleed and non-functional gps. good luck to you and i hope u get a perfect one next time (if it even exsists).

I do admit other than the light leakage its built pretty solid. As far my issue, if its anything like any LCD tv there's probably something in there that got stuck between the screen and bezel. Probably easy fix if only I knew how to open it. The build quality is so tight I can't see how the heck they put it together.
You should be able to get a refund.
At least in the UK you would be able to.
If goods are not sold as advertised then auto refund.
If they have display model that does not have screen bleed then it is not sold as advertised.
Good luck.

lol!!
you know one thing that could be done is to buy those backings and redesign them. make them a little more streamlined. all u need is some super glue a little bit of putty and some plastic (oh and a little bit of sandpaper to smooth out the edges )
Heres the one i have.. it doesnt look bad at all.. its a lil more pricier..
but u will be amazed with how long the battery last's.
before just 5mins of use would drop the battery 5% kinda week.

I ordered the extended battery kit along with the car mount and charger on Saturday the 19th and even paid for 2-3 day Priority shipping. Well it's Friday the 25th and I have not received my shipment yet. I called the 800 number and received a fax machine. Don't know how good of a deal this is, and I'll surely never order from them again.

Sorry to hear that man. Hopefully, they were just delayed in getting it to you. I tried calling them too and got the fax. Maybe they will get back to you if you send an email. Thanks for giving everyone a heads up so hopefully no one orders from them again.

I tried sending a fax as soon as it answered it hang-up. the email address [email protected] was returned with no such user on the system. Live and learn, my next step is to turn it over to legal.
Has anyone actually seen any leaks or photos (besides the one on the microsite) of the Samsung Galaxy SII with the "Samsung" logo in front?
I wondered the same thing. Also
the one without it on the front, had it on the back.
Did they remove it from the back, on the one that had it on the front? I never really paid attention to that.
But I think it looks way better without it on the front.
Agreed, it looks much better being all clean in the front.
But again, unnecessarily the same subjected thread is created while this discussion is already going on elsewhere.

I am creating this thread specific for people to post any retail device leaks/shots. It is dedicated only for this so members can come and see it all in one place.
When someone gets their hands on a retail SGS2, we'll hear about it. Don't you worry about that.
Until then, just wait and enjoy the Youtube videos being found from time to time.

I'm sure many of us are looking for proof these "Samsung front logo" devices actually exist. No worries, leaks will definitely turn up before release date. And here is the thread people can post them in.
I really hope the final version won't have the logo on the front.
Maybe they just photoshoped it for promoting reasons on the web? Who knows...
I wonder whether there will be front panels available like there were for the iPhone 4. That would be pretty interesting, although I am sure not many will want to disassemble their device to replace the front panel.
I'm hoping when GelaSkins have the stencil cut out for the SGSII it'll have a part that covers the front, as well as the sides and back, so I can have a nice design of my choosing all over the phone! Samsung logo be damned! (Not really, I don't mind it that much, but GelaSkins look awesome.)
Ehh, most probably Ill just toss invisible shield on it and use a leather pouch with it.
Keeps it safe, and continue to flaunt the device when in use.

Sammy thinks you should either Take it or Leave it. Some other chap will buy it if you dont.
Thats the power of Marketing, although this device would sell it self with the specs its boasting.
So far so good. I actually turned on my bluetooth radio and my wifi speeds were the same. First time I've seen this happen on multiple tablets. I also switched from the gray to the other color champagne. I actually like this lighter color better, but it will be in a case anyway. So far so good. No bleed, no dead pixels. I don't care about the GPS, but I ran that GPS test software anyway. Inside I connected to 8 birds in about 10 seconds or less. That is also something I never had. By the way, this is a C2 serial. The only thing I was told by Asus was this tablet was specifically tested and used prior to me getting it. I can tell it was, a couple small finger prints and a charged battery. So far so good, I hope it lasts!

Do you have a bluetooth speaker, or something to pair it to and transfer data while trying your speedtests?
Mine will be going in for this in the near future and I want to know that it does actually work on some units.
I can turn on bluetooth, and even pair it without really any change in wifi performance. As soon as you transmit to a speaker though it plummets to 400k or less.
Thats awesome. Got mine back last Friday still cant use wifi and bloothooth together and no GPS. C10 was shipped.
Got my tested one back from them and it had major dust and dead pixels from them... They didn't remove that plastic cover when they tested...
Gps worked good indoors on par with my EVO 3d
WiFi was decent
I don't use Bluetooth
But I am returning for a refund both tablet and dock to asus gonna get me a snapdragon tablet instead or maybe a ps vita idk yet maybe just an ultrabook
To much to choose from....
Idk if a tablet is really needed for me... A new phone would do it... Sprint needs to hurry up and release something!

Lol I remember you going crazy for this tablet before release. Too bad they returned you a bad unit. But hey, now you know tablets aren't right for you yet.
I'm glad I didn't jump on the evo3d (after loving the evo 4g)...I ended up waiting and getting the sgs2e4gt and couldn't be happier. So if you REALLY need a new phone, maybe get that one lol

I sent them a nasty email complaining about the "waiting to Repair" status and in 3 hours they had a new serial number ready to ship...should be here tomorrow, within 48 hours of my email being sent, so complaining seems to motivate them.
I had a BCOK but they are sending me a C2O, hopefully it works well.
Jeez, got my new Prime yesterday, from my insurance company, as the old one's screen cracked.
So I rooted it and installed all the apps and customized it just as I wanted it with some mods. After a while the problems started...
1) Screen went black and had to reboot it. That happened at least 10 times. A few times I had to press the ON-button several times before anything happened.
2) The screen just goes nuts with the colors ie. turns pink and blotchy...
and
3) When I connected the dock...smoke rose from the dock and smelled like welding... Ok, I thought there had been some dirt that burned off. Connected again and noticed it wouldn't fit properly, couldn't lock.
As I unconnected it started to smoke again!!!
Stupid as I am, I tried a third time and...BLAM! Small flames came from the dock!!!
Amazingly the tablet itself is OK, except from 1 and 2...
Guess I'll have to call ASUS
Funny, I now have one Prime with a cracked screen that works fine and one Prime with good screen that is a complete mess and could probably burn down my house!
W.Z.
Ouch! Take some pics please.
i really find that hard to believe....
with the amount of voltage and current the prime is able to provide, i highly doubt it is able to create a small fire unless you did something really stupid with it....smokes yes, fire no.....
but please do post some pictures and let us know what asus says

only smoke i smell is bull**** troll
I'll try it later and see what happens...
Can be difficult to take pics,but I can try video.
Hopefully there won't be any flames (or BIG sparks, really) or smoke, as I'm scared it'll damage the tablet...
And I don't think it is "really stupid" to connect the tablet to the dock...
Let's see later what happens :fingers-crossed:
I wonder if I have to contact the insurance company as well, as they got me this crappy one.
W.Z.
once again, with the power coming from the dock and tablet, you shouldn't be getting any flames or a big spark, small one maybe
but then again, im not sure whats inside the prime so i can't be 100% sure on the spark, but flame no... unless you spilled flammable liquid in there... but that will fall under doing something stupid
I guess you have never seen a LIPO battery fire.
...and the strange thing is that it didn't come from the connector, but from the hinge's left side !?
The flame/spark resembled lighting a small match, believe it or not...
W.Z.
Well it certainly wasn't as explosive as in the video...!!!
Funny that's a Finnish video, my fellow citizens experimenting
But yes, guess we all have read about phones and batteries exploding and caught fire.

Hrrm...well, it is freakin' difficult to take a picture with one hand when you're doing something that needs two hands...unless you're a mutant that got three?

Were sorry, however lighting your prime on fire voids your warrantee so we will be unable to issue an RMA.

Thought I would post this as I just brought one..
My Screen died yet again. after only having it in for service about March. Mind you it was here in Asus China.. so...
Anyway, It was giving me the dreaded black screen no turn on type thing, Plus a few of the other characteristics that have been documented in the Katkiss thread of late- Corrupted partition.
After the last battle with it, I ended up with a full strip on the left hand side about 50mm that is unresponsive.. nothing that you can do on the touch side of things, but mouse still works. Anyway.. wasn't going to send it back. as its not worth the aggravation of dealing with the idiots at the Asus aftersales service. So went and brought the Nexus 10.. Loving it..
but for project decided to look for another LCD screen and came across this seller with the full frame for sale.. so its about $US65.. so its my weekend project.. as Dam.. with Katkiss JB4.3 around.. I just want to play with it on the TF101.. Just not ready to let this thing die as yet.
I will update the post once i get it up and running.

Anyway as it comes glued already..how the .... Are you suppose to screw the LCD panel in..
Derrrrrrr...can't unless you do some strange but thing..and or bend the brackets around..
Click to expand...

Anyway..
Not to be deterred.. I got out the trusted plastic tools and went about separation of the screen from the LCD panel...new one...as I already had got the old one off with no drama..and cleanly.
Note..make sure you know which you are separating..as I found out the hard way that I was actually separating the gorilla glass from the touch screen...were wondering why it was so dam hard...plus one hell of a mess..
Lucky the original was still in good order so I finally was able to separate the new LCD panel and clean it up..
I almost gave up..but pushed through..it wasn't going to beat me.. plenty of man handling going on..I put it all back together...yeha..
Mind you I wasn't thinking that it was going to crank up as I was man handling the LCD panel pretty heavily ...but up popped Tims little mascot and 4.2.2 fired right up...sign of relief..
So straight to 4.3 I have came and its powering along...too good to be true..
Thanks Tim...and others that have ported the 4.3..
Of course I have a few more creaks from around the edges And a little light bleed on the left hand side but as I was lucky that the double sided tap from the original glass was still sticky and usable..
Will let it settle in and put it thru its passes and see how it goes before I pull it apart and pop some silicon in there..

Where did you find the full frame with the LCD for $65? I currently have the same problem with my tf101. And would love to replace it. Right now its just a paper weight.
Disregard, I got all excited a quick Google search lead me to one on amazon. Thank you for the tutorial I will follow once mine gets in and I'll report back!
