You need a radio for it to work. And as the Prime doesn't have any 3G radio it is not compatible.
As far as I know and as I have experienced it with other tablets I owned: Whatsapp is not intended to be used with a non-phone device.
Therefore it is marked as not comaptible with tablets. I have never been able to install it on any of my tablets direct from the market. I have once tried to install it from an other source (apk file, of course I will not say here where I got it from) on a tablet with 3G support. As I was running it as well on my smartphone it soon became deactivated on both devices with a note saying that two installations of whatsapp are not allowed.
So forget it, anyway.
see my posting under themes and apps working on it. Did some things i got it working!!!!!! Just few minutes ago
Too bad, would work through wifi, but i guess it activates with the phone number, and thats why its a hassle..

How do you print from the Prime and what software and printer do you use? I am thinking of buying the Prime, but I must be able to print emails and web pages.
Many thanks
It looks like Wi-Fi Direct (a new feature on ICS) will allow printing using a Wi-Fi compatible printer, but there are also a lot of apps that do this (ie CloudPrint).
Where do you find this?

I use PrinterShare (in Market). I had this for my old tablet (Viewsonic Gtab) and it works well. My old HP LJ4 has a JetDirect network card, so I don`t have to have a PC sharing to use it.
WiFi direct is the feature he was talking about. Something thats supposed to be baked into ics.nothing to do with a seperate app.

Exactly - if he had a clue he would know that you do not search the market for something that is supposedly a built-in feature of ics, so his witty insight is pretty much useless. Wi-fi Direct was mentioned as something new in ics, does anyone have any additional details on this?

On my phone I use "PrinterShare Mobile Print" combined with a Brother 2070N printer. My computer doesn't need to be on or have anything installed since my printer is connected directly to my router. The app simply allows me to print pretty much anything from my phone. I got it free during one of Amazon's free paid apps of the day. It's kind of spendy otherwise.
I haven't tried it on ICS or the Prime yet but it works fine on an Evo Shift and a Nexus S 4G.

Use search. Google is your friend.

Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

Does anyone know where to get that app that was on the demo TP's? I saw it in one of the review video's, it showed how much load was on each core after the companion core was maxed out...
Cant find one in the market, TY.

You will only get it from nVidia.
Unfortunately, I believe Sontin may be correct. That was an extremely cool application, and anyone who loves the Prime has probably tried to find it at one time or another. I never had any luck, and I am usually pretty good at ferreting out what I want from somewhere or other. That app is not in the wild, as far as I can tell. Shame, since it would be "fun and educational" to play with.
If anyone can prove my statements wrong, I gladly invite you to do so, with a link, of course.
Maybe a Developer could make one?

From what I understand, the companion core is invisible to the Android kernel. Likely NVIDIA had a custom kernel running on their test units and demo units to allow the companion core to be seen by the kernel.
Thus, it's my theory that even if we had that app, we'd need ASUS' test kernel for it to work properly.
I'd definitely love to see this. Even with .14, I'm not convinced we're yet getting the best battery life out of this thing, and I'm wondering if the system isn't dropping down to the companion core as often/as quickly as it should. I'm burning about 15%/hour when browsing, using Greader, that sort of stuff, and around 10%/hour when simply ebook reading using the B&N Nook app (at lowest brightness). I'm thinking we should be seeing better than that.

Cool app, but doesn't seem like it shows the companion core, unless I'm missing something.

I found the video and the link is in the thread... If people can make a cpu monitor that showes a dual core as a quad core because of the multi threading itdoes then someone can dupelicate this this app...

When the first demo`s of the TP went out XDA posted A data dump of one after they rooted it , there should be a copy of that app in that code!

Oooh! I'd forgotten all about that...
Yeah, the companion core is supposed to be inaccessible. We'd have to cook up some custom kernels and some other hardcore stuff to even get their app to work I would think.

That was from demo unit at Gamestop. Not a system dump from actual demo device Asus used in videos that showed that. Worth a look though. Let us know if you find something
Hi, I just heard about splashtop and the built in mydesktop app within MyCloud. The problem is whenever. I select "start here to scan for all devices" nothing happens.
I tried market updates.
I'm running the latest official OTA
I am rooted but not unlocked
I have not done any flashing what so ever only rooted
I have a Asus mycloud account and logged in.
I also have the windows streamer app running on my local network PC
I don't have a firewall.
Am I not doing something right?

Enable UpNP on your router (or look for the ports and forward them to the correct pc)
plus, you also got to run the PC software of Splashtop in order to find computers.
Thanks, I ended up buying the THD version that came out today and it works.
I had the PC service running already. Router was setup that way too.
The myCloud myDesktop version is still having the same problem.as described in OP even though the THD one is working. I'll keep trying to figure out out and update this post if I find a solution so someone else might get help if they should encounter this problem.

Hello, I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this issue. Ever since I got my tablet, I can't purchase any apps on the Market. I have tried going to Google Play with my PC and it states that the apps are either not compatible or can't be installed at this time. I also tried contacting Google through Google Play but I haven't gotten any response. Thanks in advance!

i think this is a widespread problem affecting millions of users. it affects the people that are living in a unsupported countries for buying Google Play contents. i have tried so many things: i spoofed my carrier, i use US proxy, i use modded play store, i tried to buy from SlideME, and Appbrain.. i think the best thing we can do right now is either wait for Google to sort this problem out.. or if you can't wait, just google for the apk you want (if you know what i mean)
why are you trying to buy spashtop when the tablet comes with it for free?

Splashtop HD comes with the Prime.
He's buying Splashtop THD. Which is specially made for gaming and Tegra 3 devices (like our Primes).
I wonder if he tried something like Market Enabler...?

Update .21 is the latest update (although another is right around the corner) and the one you need. I don't have mine yet, so I'm not too sure, but as soon as you connect it and slide the locking mechanism over then it's connected. You have to turn your GPS on under your settings and it should be using the dongle. Have a walk outside, put it on and slide the lock, turn your GPS on and run GPS Test or something similar. Remove dongle and test again, you should see a huge decrease in performance if it performs without the dongle at all.
to be honest i have never seen any problem with the gps, i know its not really a great benchmark but seems just as good as my galaxy s.
i will run the tests with and without but didnt seem any quicker to lock when i popped outside a while ago. wasnt sure it was actually working which is why i posted this. wondered if it showed up anywhere similar to when the dock is in place.

.22 is the latest update. It was forced so you wouldn't have seen it happen. Being rooted doesn't stop updates. I am rooted and it updated itself days ago. It contained the fixes for the dongle to work. For those who are unlocked, you have to wait for your ROM writer to add the code. Gary has said that ASUS are looking to release a version of NVFlash for those who are unlocked.

Really? I suppose you're one of the rare few who has relatively decent GPS reception somehow. Good for you lol, I hate you
I suppose the only way to really be sure is to disconnect the internal GPS from its antenna and then use the dongle. Surely there would be a way for the system to realize the dongle is inserted and to let the end-user know about it. I mean, they tell us to type words with the keyboard, I just can't believe they're not telling us we've plugged the dongle in. I wonder if some kind of Tasker profile couldn't differentiate between it and the dock, I doubt it?

Um, what? .22? What country and are you sure you don't mean .21? I keep my Prime's WiFi on 24/7 and my DMClient unfrozen, just manually checked and no update.
i am unlocked not rooted so i cant get anymore updates from asus. am on the latest .21 . updated before my prime was so kindly unlocked.

Any good?
Does the dongle make a marked difference in reception?
none at all as far as i can see.
could be
1. not working / user error
2. my prime gps was working ok to start with.
hoping there is someway to get feedback from the prime to let me know its using the dongle
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
I have the dongle
It definitely helps my gps but it dose look bad.
Maybe a company may start making skins for the dongle to make them more attractive and protected. Exposed dongles isn't good. It' not immuned to bumps and bruises.

My bad. Typo on my part. Of course it is .21!!
i think the dongle is well designed. locks in place and fairly discreet considering. could have been an ugly block like a usb stick or the camera add on thingy for the ipod.
i found it makes a nice handle when reading a book

I'll pull out my inner demandarin real quick to say do not apply direct pressure to the dongle - don't use it as an actual handle!
That being said, IMO it would be OK so long as you have larger hands and are pretty careful about it, just don't go trying to support your entire tablet with it. Don't support the tablet at all with it actually, seriously, going to feel terrible if you accidentally crack your screen lol
well didnt actually mean just the dongle. just adds a bit of a ridge to stop and slippage while holding
