Have you been somewhere with no internet for the past 3 weeks?
This will solve all of your problems.
humm funny !
befor buying the Prime, i have heard that the Gps receiver is not working,
have you seen this problem on yours ?
No it must be you. All our GPS's are working perfectly fine and have a perfect fix.
I have to agree, mine has been perfect. It must be that the OP is just not lucky like us.
My GPS is so accurate it'll even give me your location.
GPS Doesnt work ?

The GPS on my Prime is so badass, it has it's own GPS.
My Prime came with 12 satellites, they had to ship it in 2 18 wheeler. Everywhere I go I got 12 satellites circling me so I never lose a fix. I hope they didn't cheat you out of the satellites...make sure you don't buy it off ebay or something, get it from amazon.

Hi guys, I'm wondering if i should get this transformer prime tablet. I've been reading alot of reviews thats its amazing and i don't doubt that, but also have been reading about the issues its been having (Wifi, GPS, Reboots). So im not sure if i should go ahead and make this purchase. Im posting in this thread cause obviously its about the tablet so you guys if not all many should own one. I would highly appreciate any feedback or recommendation from your part. Thanks in advance
Okay, first, there are a TON of threads on whether the Prime is a good tablet to buy. Searching and browsing is strongly recommended.
Second, that said, I'd say that if you want to use it in your car as a GPS device in place of your smartphone or a dedicated navigation unit, then don't get it. If you don't, then get it--you'll love it to pieces.

If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
We are getting a lot of false issue claims too with trolls.....this thing is a beast....and is worth every penny.
Mine works great with the exception of the GPS. The wifi is a bit weaker than the TF101, but more or less identical to my GS2's wifi performance. Would buy it again in a flash.

Well I have been all day searching and reading other posts, and yeah i'm more inclined in getting it now. About the GPS i don't really use it on my phone either so its not a big deal. Just Wi-Fi thats what i mostly use since im home all day just kicking back browsing through the web. But thank you all for your replies. I appreciate your time and help.
My WiFi on my prime is better then my Inspire 4g, my Toshiba Thrive(all plastic) and my desktop running a 3 external antenna setup. I haven't seen any of the other issues that people talk about in my C1 serial Prime so idk what all the fuss is about.
Also all the trolls are currently here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534039

Yeah I was seeing that post earlier.
Basically, if you have to use the prime at a location with very weak wifi signals, it might be a bit worse than other devices. Otherwise, wifi works great.

And yes the GPS issue is a none issue for me since my DroidX works fine for that.

Hey pare! Your best bet is to buy one online...Amazon is prolly the safest way. As far as GPS problems with ICS, you can flash the aGPS patch and all is well. I'm running Icylicious and have no problems with whatsoever.

I would, but my wife insists on keeping those things at least as long as something is in warranty.
Maybe someone else who doesn't normally keep boxes can help out?
Prime should work with his school wifi. AS SEVERAL as in same situation with their wifi performing fine on school network. He would be better off trying to exchange the prime. Or wait till after update coming Friday. Might improve his wifi. Actually if the school using ad hoc network then this update will fix it.

I have now. Thanks. It makes me afraid to send my Prime in for repair. And it is questionable they can fix the crappy wifi. My one time calling support they did solve the minor problem, but the person was so unpleasant i hardly wanted to ever call back.

Sent it to RMA, my prime have been in 6 different european countries and when I finaly got it back I can confirm you that they must have done something with it'cause now I have a fully working gps/wifi and bluetooth. Try it maybe they found a way.

Until you install a jelly bean rom
I don't even know how 'reliable' that site is... Every major company (Dell, Apple, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, just to name a few) seems to have majority of negative comments and I personally know they aren't bad with their customer service. At least, not when I (or any friends / people I know) had to deal with them.
There are always more people ready to voice dissatifaction compared to those who are content with their purchases.

This. Ask yourselves: if you are satisfied with the company, do you search for a site to rate how great the RMA was?

Yep. This.
Search any company on there, Apple, Samsung etc and you will find the negatives are far higher than the positives. Move along, nothing to see here....

Asus has around 300 more reviews than Apple. So....why the comparison?
Every company i search for on this site has overwhelmingly negative feedback, amongst those are Newegg, Samsung and Lenovo all 3 of which have provided excellent customer service. I wouldnt trust that site at all.

Sorry??????
Can you explain a little more?????

It's not permanent.
He means that if you pinch the area just below the camera (with your thumb against the screen) if solves the common green camera issue.
I just had my camera working for the first time in months by pinching HARD. It worked for a bit, then I changed modes and it went back to green screen. I would think that means I have a short. Has anyone taken apart their tablet and resecured the connection?
Yes, see my previous thread. Hint, you need a new camera module (eBay). No easy around it unfortunately . New camera (NEW, from the seller that got them from Foxconn/assembly line) DOES fix it though.

ebay link? I've never seen anything..
my camera turned green after 1 week of Jelly bean. About 7 months of use now. Bumps here and there but never a hard impact drop.
I really am skeptical of QC in Asus part. Mine was C2. Let's hope when I RMA it, I get a C3<
Just sent mine in for the green camera problem. I tried the Spock pinch method and it would clear it up but not completly. After a few pinches the camera has never worked again. I have another problem that I had to RMA and it was a good experience overall (execpt the fact that I didn't have my tablet for 10 days).

Do you have a functioning brain? You literally quoted the link I provided to you that explains exactly how to do it and asked "How do I fix it". Do yourself a favor, don't try. Go buy an iPad. They're designed for dense people who can't think for themselves or follow directions.
Grrr... my camera has just died too, and there I was thinking things were much better since the 4.1 upgrade.
Does anyone know how long it will take for an RMA repair in the UK?
I RMA'd for this exact problem and my tab came back absolutely fine. Just putting that out there.
