Can the prime be hard reset? If so how? I tried holding down volume buttons but never get a menu.

There's a little hole below the microSD card slot. Just open a small paper clip and stick it in ... you will get a hard reset. I've done it ... works like a charm.
Edit: changed "above" to "below" the microSD card slot ... it's about an inch away.

Hey all,
So i go to check for a file on my sd card today and i noticed that the phone can't find it. I double check that it is snuggly plugged in, but nothing shows up. I placed the sd card in my old captivate and that reads it fine.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt
EDIT** it seems that no sd card is being recognized by the phone, almost like its turned off?
An issue with the phones SD card connectors has been reported here in a couple of the SD card threads. The fix is to turn off the phone, remove the SD card, and using a pin or tiny screw driver carefully bend the two connectors that normally press up against the contacts on the SD card. Just don't bend them too much. Put the SD cardback, in power up the phone and you should be good.
Thanks for the reply, i got the phone off and the sd card out and i'm trying to look at the connectors but with the metal strip that holds the sd card on, its hard to see the connectors / get to them. Any tips on that?
EDIT** well i thought i broke it haha, but it's actually working now
Thanks =)
Hi,
my microSd card doesn't slide fully into the case. The original plastic card is 2 mm short and has been fine tuned that it is cut at the end, so it does not stuck out.
So with card inserted i feel it with my left hand it looks out of the device.
Anybody that has a card that fits perfect?

mine used to until I sanded down the edge , so now it doesnt.
Its normal

mine seems even with the volume rocker, doesn't stick out passed that.
May be normal, but it is bunk. You can hit the card and I fear losing it as it sticks out a lot IMHO. Bad design.
i just pulled mine out of the TF101 that fitted perfect there and now i also fear loosing it etc.
Just crap, there is no excuse for me. Especially if it where somewhere else where you do not hold it it would not be so boring.
My microSD sticks out of the slot too. Didn't do that on the original TF101 but with this one it's too easy to hit it by accident and have it fall out. I did that yesterday and happened to see that it was not latched in, ready to fall out. I compared the card with the blank insert and the blank is quite a bit smaller. You can sand down the excess I guess?
BUT in sanding warranty on the card is gone and I would think you would have to worry about heat build up damaging it in some way unless you went slow - don't use a dremel Plus, be mindful of the dust and introducing that into the cards metallic slots.
Nevertheless, sanding is a hack and not sure why they did not recess the slot more to be flush as it is totally not flush. Not even close.
That annoys me and also the sd card on the bottom taskbar annoys me. I wish I could remove that icon.

This is the kind of stuff that unlocked bootloaders and root can do. Someone can tweak the files or hack a fix to remove that notification - just like they have already made a hack to remove the permanent google search on the home screen seen now in ICS. It also annoys me as it is not a logical place for it. And hell, we already know we have a card it... we can feel the damn thing sticking up
Okay listen to me this is the standard micro sd card size from the sd association
microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC
15 mm × 11 mm × 1.0 mm
Now look here on pages 13-14 the SD specifications gives them a maximum minimum and normal sizes for every single dimension on a card

so they are almost allowed a whole mm don't blame ASUS for this they designed the port for the shortest length so you can pull the card out

When I get my dock on Monday and add my second sd card in it will it let me know that I have 2 installed?
can someone post a picture of how much a micro SD sticks out? why would they choose to design it like this?
then again, these are the geniuses who wrapped an all metal back over GPS and WiFi radios with no RF window

Yes, you will have two notification icons on the bottom right, and if you plug in a USB thumb drive or portable drive you will get a third. The full size SD card also sticks out of its slot further then on the OG Transformer.
Hello everyone,
I noticed that after last update, my dock doesn't detect any SD card I place in and this is quite scaring me, since I don't really want to send the dock back to ASUS... do you think a full wipe could make this fix?
I tried with a Cl.10 16GB SD by Samsung and a Mediacom 4GB (don't know the class) but my tablet just says that available space is 0,0 GB and it can't unmount the card...
What do you think about it?

I have sent my dock in twice for an RMA because both my USB and SD card are not detected by my Prime. Sent back twice and I still can't see anything plugged into these ports.
Just did a factory reset on my Prime and still no luck. I guess another RMA and see if I can send both dock and tablet in together to let them see that the ports are not being detected?
Coincidentally, yesterday I tried to read a micro SD card via an adapter card on the dock to copy some music onto the micro SD card in my tablet. It shows the card in ES File Explorer or the Asus File Manager, but when you browse, it displays an empty card?!? Hopefully its a driver issue, rather than a hardware fault...
After reading the posts I thought I'd try my keyboard dock ports and I plugged in a 160gb hard drive to the USB. It took a few seconds to read it and then I could open it from the status bar or the stock file manager. Was pretty easy.
I plugged in my Atrix phone and that doesn't do anything. Thought maybe it might charge or something. Didn't try the SD slot.
I think you're going to have to do the dreaded RMA and I wish you luck for a speedy turnaround.

same here. after reading this thread i decided to test out my dock sd card slot. it works perfectly. i can find the card in asus file manager and i can find it using 3rd. party file explorers also, like astro.
I actually just tried out the SD card slot on my dock last night for the first time. The first time it detected the card immediately. It showed two of the SD card icons (one in the tab, one in the dock.) After I took the card out of the dock, put some other files on it and plugged it back in, it didn't recognize it. I tried searching for it with ES explorer and it wasn't there. When I ejected it, ES prompted me that the card was empty...... weird. I then plugged the card into the tablet and it worked fine. Plugged that same card back into the dock, but was not prompted that it was being prepared, but all of my file explorers showed it there. Now, I no longer have the two icons in the tray. It only shows one when I have two cards plugged in. Veeeerrrryyyyy glitchy

and just like that, i once again am showing both sd card icons in the tray. i didnt even do anything. just appeared while i was reading other posts.
the prime is reading my mind.....
Aye, it's very temperamental. But it does work, for me.

jsjames - I have had this exact problem. I have also sent my dock in twice, and it still does not work. And I've tried the factory reset. Did you end up sending in your dock and tablet together? Did it work?

Yes, I sent both in and I got them back about 20 days later working again. Not sure what they did, but the card readers work again.
However, the glass on my tablet is popping up a little bit on the right side. Not sure if they did it or it's just the tablet. I just keep pushing it down and it sticks for a while. Must be double sided tape under it?
Short Story: Is there an easy way to clean the MicroSd slot? I want to make sure the connection is clean.
Long Story: I got a small amount of water on my phone last night and realized it wasn't charging in the morning. . I proceeded to take out my battery, microsd and Sim Card and stick it in a bag of rice and let it sit for awhile. Good news is the phone is now charging again. It had always worked great. Bad news is, some debris from the rice got into the microsd and SIM slot. I was able to gas duster the SIM slot clean enough where the SIM slot works, but the SD card slot I'm striking out with. It clicks in place, but I'm getting an error on it, saying to remove and insert a new SD card.
Did you test the sd card in another reader to confirm that it is the slot?

Yup, works perfect on my laptop with a microsd slot. I blew a good amount of rice out of the slot on the phone, but I assume I didn't get it all or it left a residue on the connection points.

How about trying a vacuum to suck it out instead of blowing?

Hi, as embarrassing as this is to admit, while trying to put my micro sd card into my phone I accidentally inserted the micro sd into my phone upside down. It got lodged in and while trying to shimmy it out I accidentally pulled out an unidentifiable piece of hardware. The phone still works fine though I double checked everything (Calling, touch screen, internet, etc.) But I can safely say that I won't be able to insert any micro sd cards. Does anyone know if any guides on the internet (Preferably video as to how to take the phone apart and order the right parts to fix my honor 5x?
Watch jerryrigeverything on youtube... He not only teaches on how to take the phone apart but also links to extra parts...
