How anyone is not using the "quick controls" from inside the Labs setting is beyond me

I found the quick controls more of an annoyance than the standard interface.
I like it as we get more visual real estate and once you use them, it becomes so natural to just be able to control from a simple touch the the side - any side - and any location on the side. It is SO much faster way of browsing.
Yeah the quick controls are nice, I just think people just don't know they are there.
ICS Browser + in the Android Market is the way to go. Works great on the Prime and my Galaxy Nexus. It gives you more control over the quick controls.

I really like the boat browser on my phone...i wonder how it is on a tablet or if you can even install the same thing on a tablet?

It entirely depends. Quick controls are great if you use touch interface, but if you use dock then they become an annoyance.

That's probably what it is. If they had an option that automatically switched depending upon if you're docked or not, I'd use it.
Thanks so much for the suggestion to try the ICS Browser +, that's just what I was looking for. At least now I have the desired home button like I wanted!!
Thanks,

So far guys in my honest review of prime vs moms ipad 2 is it doesn't stack up that well. Besides the gps issue which ipad doesn't have are these flaws.
1. Cannot copy and paste from web browser to gmail.
2. Lags very badly when typing in browser and other operations.
3. Stopping running programs is very slow.
Keep in mind I love android I have a Motorola ATRIX. That actually performs better than my tablet. I am able to use my phone quicker and easier than my tablet.

Not being able to copy n paste from browser to gmail is user error. Come on man..lmao that's simple stuff. It works as I've done it on several occasions. For the typing issues in browser or lag, really depends what site you on. I get no lag what so ever from typing. Maybe change your keyboard.
Come back when you tell us some real performance comparisons. I have an Ipad and Atrix 4g. They are no contest compared to the Prime. NEXT! Lol

There's nothing wrong with an honest review! But you must be doing something wrong with copy and paste, or you have a freak tablet. Just tried copying from stock browser to gmail, works great. Absolutely no lag in typing in the stock browser, but I am using the Swype keyboard.
Copy and paste should work
Use a third part browser
Honest reviews are good just give it more time it will grow on you

Exact same with my SGS2. Prime's hardware is much better than iPad 2's (and it's normal since it came out almost a year after), but software is definitely buggy. A lot of lags and freezes is kind of ruining the experience, but I believe Asus will work on that fast enough, especially seeing how popular the device is.
Your 2 cents are invalid.
I just copied and pasted into gmail from my browser, I haven't had any lag or freezing, and I am using opera mobile. Perfirmance is good here.

I'm not sure if meant that when you click the multitask button, pressing X for each of the apps is slow or completely unresponsive. At least this is the case for me. I have a lot of problems getting the screen to react in certain areas while others work fine. Pressing the power button then unlocking again solves this, so it's a software issue. Not sure if others are experiencing this too.
I use swiftkey keyboard and opera mobile browser and it's pretty smooth and fast. Also copy and paste works for me as well. As for the 3rd issue, I have no clue what you mean. The beauty of android is you can change stuff you don't like to make it better for YOU, the operator of the device.

I've found that hitting the "x" twice in a row deletes that app right away. Same thing in opera browser. When i want to close out a tab/window, I hit the "x" twice to close that tab/window.
There are plenty of things to complain about with the Prime, but your complaints are silly.
1) Copy and paste works fine.
2) The browser is great once you make the necessary tweaks in the debug menu. There's a thread on it. Granted, Asus screwed up by not having the default settings correct, but a little searching would lead you in the right direction.
3) No idea what you're talking about with prpgrams ending slowly.

I'm pretty sure the Ipad 2 doesn't have GPS either unless you get the 3g version. So comparing that to the asus prime is in a way apples to oranges. That being said, I think the GPS debacle is just bad PR for asus' nearly untarnished reputation.

First i put the gps issue asside. 2nd apple works out of box without tweaks. I handed to my mom and she was off and running. Copy and paste do not work in default browser to gmail. It will work if i stay in browser but when i leave to go to gmail it did not work. I also tried dolphin browser. Closing running apps was slow as molasses after using system for a while. A reboot was just required to install tapatalk from market. All other internet activities worked at the time. It is definately buggy compared to ipad. I had high hopes and i still am hoping ics on this pad fixes these shortcomings.

Just picked up the 64GB Asus Transformer Prime 2 hours ago and so far really liking how fast this thing is! I got the keyboard as well, but as I am typing on the Prime, I keep accidentally hitting the track pad and keeps moving around. Will have to check for the settings if there is any. It does have Android 4.0.3.

And you don't have any issues with horizontal lines across your screen?
I decided to get breakfast this morning. It was pretty good, although I kept trying to eat my cornflakes with a fork.

So far no horizontal issues that I see. only seeing the GPS issue like others, and low WiFi signal.
Another thing I did notice is that I have the keyboard dock and when I docked the Prime, it was showing that the Prime tablet was at 100% and the dock at 90% and started to have some lock ups, I restarted and when it did, it showed the Prime tablet 89% and the dock 91% and doesn't show that it is charging the Prime tablet. Hmm... Not good for a $600 tablet.
Another thing I noticed is that the cursor jumps all over the screen when I am typing with the keyboard and I don't even touch the track pad. Another bad thing. I might try to exchange the keyboard dock for another and see if it is the keyboard.

gps fix seems to be released in the new OTA update tonight.
What version does it up date too? Running the System Firmware Update and keep getting "Failed to Connection" I will keep trying
Hopefully it does fix GPS as I would use this feature a lot since I would be traveling outside office everyday.

Try turning off the touchpad while you type. It's the 4th button from the left on the top row, if your keyboard is like the TF101's.

By the way keyboard works great with touchpad disabled.

Idk what happened but ever since the new update the mouse pad on the dock does not work at all in any app. Does anyone else have this issue?
Also burn in is a real problem with this tablet. over all i ahve had this tablet in my hands for less then a week and im not that impressed. I like it but really have not impressed me.
Anyone have any help for me?

Try toggling the key on the dock that enables/disables the touchpad?

Did you ensure the touchpad is turned on? It's the fourth button from the left of quick launch buttons

Do you have it on IPS+ mode all the time?
nope i leave it about 3/4 brightness on regular isp. It eventually goes away after using it for videos and other things. if i use it as my remote which i do alot with google tv and the harmony link...it burns and i have a grid of lines on the screen left over. i find it crazy that it can burn in so fast
If it goes away, it is not screen burn. It's image retention.

Hey guys. This is a place holder for a video teardown of the TF201-DOCK-GR. Franky_402 and I had heard some things about a subwoofer that was supposed to be in the dock and the idea was scratched pre-production. So, I wanted to see where the subwoofer would have gone. I have to say, I wish they would have done it. Would have been nice.
Anyway, video will be uploaded soon and I will post a link to it.
Here is the video!

we did the song just to have something going on during the parts we were not talking. That way it wasn't just silent. I had thought about taking it out and may still do that. I might pull this one and put up a new one.

Space for a 3g/wifi modem?
Is there enough free space in the keyboard to fit a stripped down Huawei E586 Pocket WiFi Modem?
Or tear down a bluetooth GPS receiver Wonder if the plastic keys let out enough signal to lock on sats? Some how figure out how to mod it into the battery or USB port.
eh - by the time you do that, why not just plug it in the USB port, right?

I have been looking for something like f.lux for Honeycomb/ICS for a long time now. I've been using Neyetlight, but that's more of a workaround than what I'm actually looking for.
If this works, for free no less, then I will be ecstatic. Thanks for the find!

I'm on HC and although it works it causes lag in the home screen when anything is adjusted.
EDIT: I tried adjusting just a little and it seems to make it better but you can tell still when going from home screen to app drawer.
