Is this Asus Transformer Prime Market App legit?
https://market.android.com/details?...yLmFzdXMuZWVlLnBhZC50cmFuc2Zvcm1lci5wcmltZSJd
The dev has a bunch of similar apps for other devices with decent reviews so chances are that its a legit app.

I tried it out. all it does is rehash old info and doesn't even give full story. you want full article, it links you to web browser. its good concept but the app itself not even tablet optimized..lol

Hahaha, fail. Thanks for the info.
Here's a Neat Trick!
you want a quick and easy way to keep up to date, try this. Enter "Asus Transformer Prime" into google, change the settings to News only, last 24 hrs and sort by date. Keep that page up on your pc and Refresh that in the morning and at night. Or you could bookmark it on your mobile device and check it w/e. I've found a ton of great info like that. Hope it helps. ^ ^

I bought my prime an dock for school usage. My math class requires me to use MyMathLabs web site to do some homework, which requires flash. It supposedly is supported by Firefox, Chrome,and IE. I use Dolphin HD as my primary browser and Firefox secondary if I need something that requires unique support. However, I'm unable to access my homework. I can log in, proceed through various menus but when I go to open the problems, I recieve an error about a broken plug in. What may I be missing?
I can't wait for real Chrome to be released for tabs...
Thanks for reading, I appreciate any suggestions, as I can't afford to not have access to this site and it's a pain to use a shared computer at school or to go to my parents for theirs.
All flash and plug ins and apps are most recent version.
A link to the math labs web site would be helpful. I'm going to go look for it, and probably find it, but the easier you make it for people to help you the more help you're likely to get.
Ok, found it. it's www.mymathlab.com, as expected.
Which class are you taking, and did you run the Installation Wizard and/or Browser Check?
I might add I have at least 6 browsers installed on my Prime at the moment, I plan to check all of them. My current fav is ICS+ so I'll start with it. I'll list them with links and results later.
Chrome IS released for tabs...

Only in beta, last I checked.
I have the same problem on my prime, but half way works on my evo 4g running stock gingerbread

If you have good wifi at your school you could use splashtop which is already installed on the prime. As a workaround.
Thank you

Thanks for your patience, I tried to be as thorough as I could be. My apologies. I am taking Math 053 :/
As I said before, I'm only having trouble when I get to the point of being able to actually look at the questions for the homework or quizes. I can view all the menus leading up to that point and access everything else except the important stuff lol.
I've used Firefox, Dolphin HD and the stock browser. I'm considering Opera, but I'm not sure if it will do any better.
Also, I'm not familiar with splashtop, but I'll look into it, thanks!
Any other help is appreciated
Chrome for Android will NEVER have Flash support.
Also, am I the only one who read the thread title differently, substituting an "e" for an "a?" Maybe I should do a bit less work with my County's Narcotics unit. (I am in IT for the County here.)

Boat Browser or ICS Browser + are both highly recommended. You might try them.
Also, there is a Browser Check feature on MyMathLabs. I recommend loading up the page in all your browsers separately and running that to see if any of them are supposed to be compatible.
Same issue on of v909 tablet
I have the same issue with my lg v909 tablet and Samsung galaxy s2. My tablet is only on android 3.1 or 2 I think. I've been struggling with this issue for a while now. On every browser that I use. Need help like crazy for this bc I havemidterms this week.
This may be a bone head old news post, but it's something I just noticed. I usually check for the free amazon app on my phone each morning but forgot to this morning so I checked online. This is when I noticed a "Test Drive" button as pictured below. I havn't had a chance to play with it yet, but wondering if others have and if, in fact, this is nothing new and I just failed to notice.
Nothing new. .. But still good for those that dont want to install the app before hand and see how it is

so it's only certain apps then? Perhaps this is why I never noticed. Only time I use web based to to provide a link to someone on here so I don't spend much dwell time.

yea i think it's only certain apps, usually useless stuff like games.
First the usual disclaimer, i searched and did not find an answer.
Now, I don't know if i'm doing something wrong but some links I get in my email or on some forums will not redirect properly. Specifically, ebay daily deal, newegg and some links on slickdeals do not load. Is it a setting? I've been just living with it but I would really like some help. I am on stock rom, rooted, and have tried every browser to no avail. It's either an android issue or a setting because my touchpad on cm9 is the same. Clicking on the link gets webpage not available.
Just so there is no question about the links they work on my pc and ipad.
Any ideas?

Have you ever tried flashing ROMS to see if that could fix things? If you would like to... let me know and I can help.
Sent from my ATRIX using the Premium XDA App
I have not tried flashing a ROM on my Atrix but strangely enough I have the same issue with my Touchpad on CM7 and CM9. Not sure if you or anyone else gets the ebay daily deals email but I would love for someone to check and see if they can open the links. I can forward the email is someone wants, just PM your email address. I also have today's newegg deal which opens on the ipad but not on any android device I have.
By the way Voelker45, thanks for trying to help. I have been thinking about flashing my phone but held off while under warranty. Now that the warranty is up I could do it with guidance from someone like yourself. I would really like to know if I'm doing something wrong that the links don't work currently.
Does anyone have any ideas? I just tested today's ebay daily deal email. Tried it on wifi and mobile data. Tried it in stock browser and opera. Nothing works. Can someone at least tell me they get ebay daily deals and can launch them just fine.
Thanks

There are other browsers too. Like dolphin HD or Firefox. What about flashing ROMS. If you want to start doing that, give me the ok and I will recommend some links to read once you tell me which carrier, and firmware your on.

Voelker45 , I want to thank you for taking the time to try and diagnose my issue. I did some very extensive searching today. I determined that ebay was using and ad company to handle it's links and redirect to its site. The ad company's address is "links.p0.com". Did some searching on that and found that people reported having issues in Windows also with links from other places (not ebay) and isolated it to their host files blocking the site. Then did some searching on android host files and that's when it stuck out in black and white to me. One find in my search mentioned "adfree" and I realized I'm running adfree. So another search came up with the location of the host files for adfree. The file was too big to edit through root explorer so I emailed it to myself, removed the website and emailed it back. FINALLY, it's working. Makes sense when I think about it now but it just never occurred to me. Now on to figuring out what newegg is using and unblock that. Thank you again friend. Even though you didn't give me the solution you did engage me allowing me to get my mind churning.
Who knows this might benefit someone else.
Hey no prob. Glad I got those wheels churning. good stuff you found in the last post there. I learned something there.

My tablet was doing this to me too. I couldn't figure out why my links weren't redirecting me to the site after I clicked on them. I'm glad you posted this.

Yep duplicate topic
thanks for trying to help, however had you read the article you posted. It states they got the information from XDA
Ive been digging through threads for half an hour now, can you please point out where this topic might be?
I want to find out how to apply for this GPS dongle because mine is utterly dead.
I just registered my prime deep in the bowels of the asus website,
but I haven't seen or heard of this free dongle that im supposedly entitled to.
Ditto how do we receive this?

It is real, I don't know what regions it is a applicable to though. I do know I was able to apply for one of these GPS units from their website. I live in the US though.
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.
I just wanted to see a picture of it, that's all....
ASUS is getting tons of good publicity over this. The story is covered on all major tech sites now. VERY surprising how fast word travels on tech news. Exciting times for prime.

Hey Stewart,
I've been following that other thread (the one that vanished) since it popped up, and a lot of the pages were full of comments exactly like yours.
It appeared to me that some people were able to fill out a form on the Asus site last night, but after a certain point no one was getting the registration page any longer. Some people had tried calling customer service, and most reported back that the person they spoke to either didn't know what they were talking about, or knew what they were referencing but that it wasn't official yet so there was nothing they could really do (some took contact info down, but who knows about what the follow-up will be for that).
Now that the whole thread has disappeared, and especially with demandarin's comments on the fact it vanished, my general sense is that the whole thing just came out too early, before Asus had everything in place to start taking in all of the requests. It sounds like it should all be made official soon though, and my guess would be that they will put out info in the media and through this site as to how to go about sending in your info then.
So I wouldn't worry about it now. Track some of the threads (or just check in with Gary Key's unofficial post updates), and join the rest of us in the waiting game...
As said above, duplicate thread.
First of all, apologies for what will inevitably be seen as the same questions that have been asked previously. I have searched the forum but due to the multiude of responses and threads I thought it be easier create this.
So I am completely new to the Tablet scene, never owned one before.
Picked one of these beauties up yesterday, and have played around with it for an hour before going to bed.
I have noticed one dead pixel on the edge of the screen which is only visible on a black background. I know there are pixel fix type apps, has anyone ever used these with success?
Then I also noticed the weird flickering of the screen in the bottom right hand corner which a number of people have reported.
In your opinion would you return the device for a new one?
Secondly, could anybody tell me how I can stream video files over a wifi network from one android device to another quickly and easily?
And thirdly, is there a consensus as to what the best case is for the prime? Ive checked the accessories page but there is so much and with so many different opinions. Im wondering if we have collectively agreed on the best yet as a forum? Are there any good cases that hold the dock and the tablet when connected?
And lastly, tell me some cool things I can do with this monster straight out of the box or at least with minimal tampering. I have already decided I will NOT be going down the root road as im not techy enough, and it will void my shiznit!
Thanks in advance!
Try this for the dead pixel, tough I don't think it will achieve anything. It's better to leave it working overnight. Make sure that your screen does not turn off if you don't touch it at regular intervals.

I have this case and I like it. I have had roocase before and they have really good customer service. I didn't want one that covered the face of the tablet.
For the dead pixel and the flickering, I'd return it for a replacement before I grew too attached. For the $$ that you spent, you deserve a *pristine* unit. Particularly if you bought yours from a retail store, take it back.
I'd agree in your approach in avoiding the rooting/unlocking. At least wait until you've come to understand and be troubled by the limitations born from it not being rooted. I've had mine for months and I still haven't seen a pressing need to hack it (unlike my Nook Color that has hacked while it still had that "new tablet smell").
On the question of cool things to do: Two pieces of software that are incredibly cool are the OverSkreen Browser and Stick It! media player. Both are floating-window apps that allow you to run in resizable windows that can float over other apps. Very cool stuff that you can show to iPad users.
Thanks for the responses all. My main query is now how to stream the media from my htc one x to my transformer. Any advice would be greatly received!

Might not be the solution you're looking for, but why not simply create a DropBox account, and put a linked folder on each device?
Now, you can simply drag the video file to the Dropbox folder, and it'll be sent to the other device.
Now you can watch the video on the second device, and not have to worry about cacheing, wifi delays, etc.
MX Player seems to be streaming Wifi videos pretty well for me. I'm new to it. Before that, I shared my media via Windows Media Sharing and it was picked up with UPNP, available in the store. My Net also does the same kind of thing as long as your media has been shared via Windows Media Sharing or another PnP protocol.

swipepad you do not need root., and Gesture control if you learn to root.
rooting is really not that hard.
