Couldn't agree more.I'll be bugging as often as possible
Are you serious that asus actually encrypted the bootloader on this? It doesn't even have 3G and isn't tied to a carrier. I can understand locking it but encrypting it is stupid. I always thought the carriers wanted these devices locked down. Every day I am seeing new reasons not to get this...
Yep 128 bitAES encryption! It's crazy
We have nvflash for Tegra 3 but the then found out the bootloader is encrypted

LOL! No ****. they encrypted the boot loader!?
Wow.. Asus seems to be hitting a high-note with their perpetual **** ups.
Asus moved oficial facebook fan page to http://www.facebook.com/asus.n.america?sk=wall
Lets spam this... I dont want my TF Prime if bootloader still be locked...

Curious,
Besides protecting ASUS from warrantying hacked devices, is there an end user benefit of an encrypted bootloader. Like more data security for the tablet user, say in a public WIFI... or is there no relation between the two.. and no end user benefit...?
Thanks
The easiest way to get them to unlock the bootloader is to get everyone on here to return their primes, if they get hundreds of returns just because of a locked boot loader I have a feeling they will unlock it pretty fast.
I have to say it would be pretty cool if we got a ton of people to return their primes on the same day and announce to Asus that we are returning them because of the locked boot loader.
Do they have a facebook, I don't do the whole twitter thing lol

I can see why we want to customize the kernel and flash a custom rom on some tablets/phones, but I don't see the need to do it on this device. It the most solid stock build of a rom that I have seen. It has power customization in the navbar (what we like from many custom roms) and it has great batterylife. It is stock Honeycomb (soon ICS) with ASUS customizations that don't slow it down. Also rooting has nothing to do with the kernel, because every locked/encrypted device has it (except for this), because we are waiting for ICS before going away from the OTA path. Anyways, I will still support the kernel unlock since it is kind of silly to be locked (since it isn't with a wireless carrier).
Yeeaaaaaahhhhhh! We gonna drop twitter bombs on asus till they cave in!!!

Because it's ROOTED, has great devs building stable ROMs, and killer KERNELS!!!! Seriously, side by side, the Nexus is that much faster....
Don't get me wrong, I love the Prime and I'm not sending it back, but keep up the spam campaign for an unlocked bootloader.

No, because it has good software running on it. Besides that the Prime runs still HC oposing to Nexus' ICS, the Prime's HC build is just crap. It's not well optimized at all. Even some Tegra 2 devices with HC are faster.
Hi friends
The time has come for the revolution. In connection with the way the Asus treats its customers I think we should start a revolution and a massive public campaign on the back cover replacement programme or any other solution to the problem of weak WiFi and/or GPS in Transformer Prime. The Internet is the power they are afraid of.
Asus' President would be very interested in the situation. He would like to know the way his company treats its customers.
We have to let him know... We have to make a change

From slash gear, it appears that the only changes are
-1080p
-2mp camera instead of 1.3
-changed back plate
I already got really good, constant wifi connection
My BT works fine with my Game pad and my Galaxy Note
I'm own phone, there's no need for a GPS
1080p = More battery drain for something that only Prime users will notice the diff.

Did you not check before posting this all over the forum? Where did you get the idea it was a Qualcomm chip?
In order for this to have any change of success, we should work out possible solutions first.
Noone is helped with just bashing their facebook walls.
Let's collect some opinions and options for ASUS.

Here is a better link.

This is not a 7 inch version this is a 10.1. If you look at the back it is the exact one we need to make the prime work. So my opinion is they knew that aluminum was flawed but decided to leave it on. Then release this to fix it. While everyone wasted their hard earned money so they could be the first tegra 3 on the market.
They should upgrade us for free to the new one. Also it is still puzzling why the tf101 is going for the same price as before the prime came out.

No i mean new 10 incher shown at CES, beta tested by us using TF201. That's not the way they should do their business. I love my TF201 and I'm not going to sell it. But I do not like to be treated like a retard.

It wont be out unit Q2 (may/June), so save your money now, continue to use the prime and sell it in June and buy the new one.
So I just returned my prime to best buy because of some minor problems. If they had one to exchange I probably wouldn't be making this post. But now that they aren't really in stock anywhere I may just wait for the iPad 3. Now I'm really not trying to troll or anything but do you guys think I should wait? Or just tell me I'm being stupid and should come to my senses.
After using an Android tablet and then going back to an iPad 2, I hated how limited it felt in comparison.

But then he will need to wait another 4-6 months.. I don't think he is going to do that if he is considering an iPad 3 which comes out earlier anyway.

Exactly. There is no comparison between Android tablet and iPad. One is for grown ups, while other is for kids who do not know any better or for people who think that getting "BT Transfer" in latest OS update is the latest feature in mobile world

There should be quite a few 1080p tabs to choose from in the coming months.
Ive got a Prime also and far from impressed main issue for me is poor wifi which is useless for my intended use of travelling.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
how about you act like an adult and make a decision?
i'm getting really tired of this "living by comittee" lifestyle that people are starting to adopt.
purchasing something as frivalous as a tablet comes down to a very unique (to the purchaser/user) set of critera as to what they should buy and what they consider value for their dollar.
if there were still any hidden mysteries as to what this particular tablet brings (in both the good and bad) to the table, i would be more compassionate towards the question of the OP, but the pros and cons of this tablet have been discussed ad nauseam on this forum, if one cannot make up their mind at this point on their own by reading, then no one can help them.

Which? Tell me. It will really take some time before they are actually available in the stores. And if you want some quality tablet you would not want to go with Acer. Lenovo is overpriced. Samsung, Asus, Apple are the one's who make the best tablets in my eyes.
And no, I don't had any of those WiFi/GPS/BT issue's with my Prime so I also put Asus there because with my tablet it was very solid build, had a good feel etc. etc. Same for the TF101.
I had to return mine to best buy because it was stuck in the ICS rebooting loop. I just ordered another one today from office dept. If ICS and wifi work and there are no screen issues I'm keeping it.

Absolutely correct. There is definitely a reason business, major medical institutions, educational institutions and the U.S. military have contracts in place with Apple.

Somehow I doubt a lot would regret waiting the few months for one that does get addressed properly compared to the one that doesn't due to its design.
I dont care if you return it,keep it or get something else. Im sick of dumb posts like this cluttering up the forum.

I have an iPad 2 and I don't mind the lack of customization to be honest. I kinda like the feel of ios.
So I received my Transformer Prime today and am having wifi issues (very poor connection strength). Also, I have a group of very bright pixels on the screen.
I know there is a new Transformer tablet in the works that has significantly better specs...so I'd be best to wait. In the meantime, I found a mint TF101 with docking keyboard for $350. Everything checks out and it seems like a great package for the price. This coupled with ICS arriving in two weeks for the TF101 makes it a reasonable decision to return the defective Prime and get this original TF101 w/keyboard.
Is this a good move? I've never owned the original Transformer and hope that it is plenty fast to play flash content. Anyone care to offer a POV on this decision?
I plan on getting the newer Transformer in Q2 when it's rumored to release.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
I have both and the OG TP is pretty damn laggy even with a 1.65 OC.
That + the random reboots and freezes makes in a no go for me.
I did it and am happy with my decision. Wifi is crazy strong and the device is plenty fast.
Wake me up when the new Transformer is released. The Prime isn't ready for prime time IMO.

Hi all.. I just sold my Nexus 7 on ebay because I wanted the ability to connect HDMI. Moving up, I won a bid on a Prime on Ebay, but the seller is playing nasty and I haven't received it. That being said, I'm a few days from getting my money back and am wondering if a Prime is the best way to go - after reading about a few of it's issues. Right now I can buy a refurb Prime for $299 locally, or, Sam's has a TF700 for $439. What do you guys & gals think??? Thanks for your help in making the right choice..
Still got garbage memory with lags, just like the prime. Avoid both and get a nexus.

I bought my Prime off Swappa and I don't have any of the problems that are mentioned about wifi, or lag. I have yet to play with gps as I didn't buy this for navigation. IMO, if you have the money get the Infinity. Latest and greatest and it has the abilities that you want.

Latest and greatest would be the nexus 10. I wouldn't buy another Asus with this cheap memory if my life depended on it. Yes it was the best at the time, but only because everything else sucked so hard. Now we have options.

I also have had more than acceptable WiFi performance and haven't seen all the "problems" others report. Not saying they are wrong - just that it works fine for my needs. I don't care about GPS. I went ahead and got the free Asus dongle but have never even used it. I even stayed on the stock ROM until JB came along and I lost root. Now I'm using Androwook 1.51 which was really easy and is basically the stock ROM Asus should have made. I'd agree the infinity but if you want to save the money, I think about the only thing the extra dollars would get you is the higher res screen - so you decide if its worth it to you.
I would seriously consider the Galaxy Note 10.1. I think it knocks spots of the Prime (I own both) but then I am one of the unlucky ones who got a bad egg. (just about to RMA the Prime for the second time)
