In general I am very pleased with my TP201 but I have a few niggles I would like sorting. They are as follows:
Cannot set email pictures to load by default?
Play back of Music is alphabetical not in the Album order as the artist intended?
Cannot set browser to load desktop view by default?
There is a 'double %' on the weather widget in Humidity?
Cannot set device to run in 'performance mode' by default - keeps going back to balanced mode?
Need better control and options to store apps on removable storage?
Look forward to some fixes

Call ASUS, this isn't a blog.
Wel that response was a little harsh...
I think these are all legitimate concerns. Right off the top of my head I can think of one that will solve a problem. Download ICS Browser +. It looks and feels exactly like the stock browser but in the settings you can set the user agent to desktop.
There is also a way to do this with the stock browser...I think you need to enter the words "about:config" or something like that into the address bar and that brings up some new hidden options where you can change it. I suggest ics browser + though since it is the stock browser but better.
I can't help you with the other stuff but the double % thing bugs the hell out of me too. Beautiful widgets is an option but I just don't like the look of it on a tablet.
Balance mode is the default preset mode. As it gets the best battery life and performance. Best of both worlds. You go performance battery drains faster. Go powersave mode and you loose out on processing power. BALANCED gets best of both of them.
There is a way to have yours boot performance on boot. Actually 2 ways. Both methods need root. One is getting system tuner and setting the governor to performance. It'll stay that way till you change it. On boot it'll load that governor you chose. Another way is to get script manager or Gscript to enable vipercontrol mod on boot. Considering you choose performance option in it.

I believe just changing the governer isn't the same as changing the performance mode.

You right. The system tuner governor changed to performance is a more aggressive performance tune. Technically it is the same though. Just system tuner performance mode is more heavy aggressive

Why calling ASUS!? -
These aren't particurlary ASUS related issues. This is more or less Android standard behaviour, e.g. the browser is android stock.
Of course the "double %" is ASUS related as it's their widget. But I think they are aware of it.
However, use an other Browser e.g. Opera or if you really (!) like the stock one, there is a special adapted version on the market (ics browser +) that let you set the user agent flag.
If you really like listening to music there are lots of more powerful apps on the market than the stock app.
And email apps? - I do not need to tell ... but. Hey, ever hear of the market.
If you want a system that is closed and works perfectly in its closed way, just buy apple products (argh, have I really written that down here)
The philosophy behind Android looks different.
You should not make the producer responsable in the first place.
E.g. take a look at your <<system performance>> issue. Maybe other users want it to be set as default into <<balanced mode>> when booting up (like it is now). So, what should ASUS do? Listen to you? Listen to them? - I tell you! Just gain root access and change it by yourself. That is what Android is like.
Take advantage of it, otherwise you could have bought as well a <<fruit of a tree>>.

Close, it's about:debug. But, I agree, get Browser +.

What's a niggle?
Hi Xda forum,
I sent my Prime for repair after the hdmi port was not working. Right now, I'm am getting lags when swiping between homescreens quickly and i'm in balanced mode.The lag seem to improve when I switch to performance mode but it still exist. And also when clicking on the app drawer there is slight lag as well.
I would like to know if any of you guys are having the same issues as me ?
Please try it out for me, I really want to know if its a defective hardware problem.
Thanks
Regards,
Venz
my prime works great in balanced mode. when I'm not overclocked, I always use the 1.2Ghz balanced mode. no lag at all. everything moves fast as far as swiping thru homescreens, launching apps, loading web browser pages, scrolling thru web browser pages, etc...
try a fresh reboot to see if it clears things up. if sounds like you installed a bad app or widget or something. check the last things you downloaded. then uninstall one by one to see if it clears issue.
Ya,I've tried all types of reset.There always a very small lag when swiping across screens quickly and sometimes when clicking the app drawer.I find the prime pretty smooth hefore the repair.Confused.
Thats not normal.....i dont even see any lag when im on power save.
i run it in balanced and everything is super smooth. i have not been able to make it lag yet. only while using Wifi certain games(Glu) will lag.
other than that Nothing.
I've found the biggest thing that affects homescreen performance is the number of screens and widgets. Are your screens pretty cluttered? What launcher are you using?
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.
I don't run Launchers or have numourous number of widgets on my homescreen.Even after a factory reset/Wipe/hard reset, I get slight lag that appears when sliding across homescreens.
I told the asus service staff about this but their reply was "It passed all the required test and there's nothing wrong with your tablet"

Do you mean you are having lag on HDMI? Because I think everyone misunderstood you here and think that you are having lag while using the touch screen. I don't have an HDMI cable to test your problem out though...
I run my tablet always on the balanced mode. I have never see any lag while swiping. In fact I am using multipic live wallpaper with random effects. Since last one week I am using Go Launcher HD Beta. Give a try with different launcher.

Yes,I'm having lag while using the touchscreen.Not a big one just small stutters.It doesn't really show up when i'm in performance mode.

you shouldnt have to do that with the prime in my OP anyway. i mean if it fixes it great. but this thing should not have any lag as far touch screen flipping through home screens. i even cluttered my screens up last night after reading your post with pictures, and widgets and live wallpaper to have have as much going on as possible. and didnt see any lag on any cpu setting.
i would try and find a way of getting it replaced.
that would bug the hell out of me........
Live wallpaper? If you a live wallpaper such as the Asus Water ones it will lag a little bit especially when the animation is starting after you wake up your screen.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
i didnt use that one. just simply because i do not like it.....but i will use that one to test with when i get to the house.
and he was only talking about flipping through home screens.....not the start up lag. so thats what i was reffering too.

Thanks alot Guys! I have returned my prime back to the service center.Furthermore, I tried out a Prime display set and noticed no lags whatsoever.
The lagging bothers me so much !
Hi Forum, I just got back my prime from Asus. It got it's motherboard replaced again. But i'm still finding lags and stutters ....I don't what is the issue..seems like Asus can't figure it out too.
Do you have any suggestions on what could it be ?
Build Number : 9.4.2.15
Kernel version 2.6.39.4
AnTuTu Benchmark v2.7.1 (In performance mode) : 10610
CPU frequency : 1600 MHz
your score seems right for your device. you have something going on in the background causing lag. try this. go into settings. then developer options. then turn of window and transition animations. then force gpu rendering. that should speed you up. although that's not required as my out the box setup was lag free, that will speed device up. as far as ui n such goes. do you have any oddball Widgets on homescreens or anything? also download a free app called system panel. it will show you what apps are running. this shows alot more than Asus task manager. if you see something running that's active, and you not using it or shouldn't be running, just kill it.

Hi Demandarin, thks for the suggestion. I tried it but there isn't any improvements. I just noticed one thing, there isn't any lag when I click on the sides...the homescreen shifts smoothly but whenever I swipe it across the screen, there's a very small stutter during the transition period.

Hi Demandarin, just one question...I launched system panel lite app, settings > Dev info > Under the CPU section : Processors/Cores : 4
SYSFS CPUs Present : 4
Processor : 3 << Is it suppose to be like this ?
both powersave and balanced modes limit the framerate to 35fps, it is not totally unreasonable that some people are able to see the difference, while the vast majority do not.

I don't think its anything to be worried about. maybe just false reporting in the dev. info section.
META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot

The widget is stretchable on HC and ICS, predefined sizes are only available on GB.
Man how is that confusing?
Awesome App, thanks for posting.
Testing it out now, will report back if I have any issues.

im new to ics... i didnt know that it would be strechable, and look good streched from a 1x1...
i will have to try to strech it, im using go launcher and have not figured out how to resize widgets.
thanks for the repley... i do like it and it works well on my phone.
Edit/Add***
Thank you for clarifying about the stretching ... works great! ... Thanks!
I'm surprised you would use go on I cs, the stock 4.0 launcher is excellent. But if you need more, you should go with nova or apex, they are great.

Interesting, ill check that out myself i think

Anything of interest i should know before i embark on a new build? Issues perhaps? Suggestions?
Nope working perfectly here.
Awesome, thank you!
I emailed Dev from play store link. And have yet to see a reply. About 3 weeks now.
But if anyone could Help, would be awesome.
I want to make a Meta widget. Of the threads in development section on home screen. So I can see if any roms have been updated without going into browser.
I still don't no if this is possible, if so... how?
Does anybody know of an app that is similar to CPUUsage & Process List Viewer? This one is ideal except for the instability Basically, it gives you a real-time detailed list of running processes, including foreground tasks with system task names...not just APK's!
I'm assuming an app like this is my best bet for monitoring MEMORY & CPU USAGE in order to see what is wasting away my battery life. I really like how this one shows you both CPU and RAM usage!
So, basically I'm searching for an app that...
•displays real-time details of CPU usage (SEE PICS BELOW)
•shows live details of RAM usage (SEE PICS BELOW)
•has a "sort by" option for the displayed list
•preferably has a widget, not crucial
•does not NEED to have a task killing option
•does not NEED to be free...I'll spend a few bucks if it does the job
***Please keep in mind that I'm not just simply looking for a task killer, but maybe more like a task monitor.***
THANK YOU!!:good::good:

Which app do you use to view the notifications and time at a glance without turning on the whole screen. Comment the name of the app and if possible attach the apk file and let's see which app performs the best.

Always on AMOLED is nice app that u can find it in the play store..go pro to tweak around settings..The problem is that since honor 6x is an ips lcd panel..the battery consumption will be higher than in the AMOLED panel

Or cm locker may be not for time but for notifications.
