Good day folks. I spent over an hour this morning going through the forum looking for a "performance thread" on the 64GB Prime specifically.
I just shipped my 32GB model back to the vendor for GPS/WIFI perf issues. GPS didn't work, and Wifi perf was ½ of the TF101 off the same WAP and less than ½ of the other tablet in the house - a Samsung Galaxy 10.1.
On first impressions the 64GB Prime appears to have been held back from the retail channel - I don't know if it simply wasn't ready or did ASUS do a little more work on it before release.
Does anyone here have the 64GB Prime now, and are you experincing issues with it similar to the 32GB model that's been out for 45 days or so?
I've got a 64GB Prime on order that I'm told will ship on January 24th, and I'm trying to decide whether to go with it or just cancel it and go with another.
I got a 64GB model - and I don't have any WiFi problems. Back home I can get over 40Mbps down and 5Mbps up (my max) within 10 feet of my router where I usually sit. At 30 feet it does drop to around 15Mbps, but that beats my phone and is almost on par with my old Eee book. It also connects fine to the WiFi on my phone and at work without any problem, and with good signal.
My GPS sucks. But it is of no use to me, so I haven't really played around with it much at all. Haven't tried any of the suggested fixes for it.
But I don't think the 64GB model is more or less prone to the issues described than the 32GB model.
I've had a 64GB model for almost a month now.
It most certainly does have the same weak/inconsistent WiFi as the 32GB model. I don't have a TF101 to compare it to, but unless I'm very close to my router, it definitely pulls speeds slower than my iPad1 and Galaxy Nexus.
If you're expecting better WiFi than your 32GB version, you're probably going to be disappointed.
Also, as far as GPS, it's just as screwy on the 64GB as the 32GB.
My 64gb has been fantastic. I don't have any issues besides the gps but no matter to me. In fact when I was inthe same room as my router I got 21mbps when my computer got 16mbps at the same time (Which I'll admit is odd because our internet is only supposed to be 12mbps). So far I love it and as far as I'm concerned with the resolution its basically a 720P display on a 10" screen when a 720P 32" TV can still look great this should be great looking when playing HD movies even if it isn't 1080 resolution.
Just ran another test:
Computer 14.03mbps
Prime: 14.67mbps
Overall, I do love my Prime, and the WiFi is adequate for my use cases. If you want more details on the WiFi performance on my 64GB model, check out the first post in this thread. The tests mentioned were all done on my 64GB Prime:

My wife's 32 gb was delivered on Dec 19. My 64 GB was delivered on Jan 3. Both were ordered on 11/22.
Both perform exactly the same.
Cancelled the order.
I guess I'll get another TF101 or wait.

Mine both perform great. The only problem I have is the SD card pops out and GPS is very weak.

Indoors my TP finds occasionally 2 sats but no fix, most of the time it finds nothing.
My SGT 10.1v on the other hand finds almost instantly 10+ sats and 7-10 fixes.
Outdoors my TFP finds within 1-2 minutes or so 10-13 sats and 7-10 fixes.

picked it up from gamestop tonight. Dallas northpark location. manager said they were told today that docks would be coming from asus in about 2 weeks. he said asus has not even released them yet.
let me know if you have any other questions.
good build everything seems to be running properly. games and everything seem to be working as they should. screen appears fine.
the gamestop apps seem to be easily removable. under apps uninstall was available for all added on apps
ran wifi analyzer on three tablets, xoom running tiamat rom, my wifes stock transformer, and the prime that I updated fully. all numbers are in negative mv for those unfamiliar, lower is better.
order is t1, prime, xoom
20 feet from router, t1 52, tp 52, xo 53
upstairs, 30 feet from router, 2 walls 51, 60, 54
same floor 40 feet away, no walls 52, 60, 55
outside, 35 feet, brick wall 68, 74, 70
the prime is a little lower, but not a ton.
Thanks for the test results.
On my laptop I get 30 ms ping times and 20 mbps speed. My View sitting right next to the laptop gets 300 ms ping times and 6 mbps download.
In other words, it sucks.
Any ideas?
Huh.
Tried forgetting my wifi connection and reconnecting. This seemed to help quite a bit. Ping time dropped way down to 52 and speed increased to 11 mbps.
I read most of the posts here; but, seldom post. I wanted to determine how badly my WiFi drops off, if it in fact does. What follows is the result of my unscientific testing.
My Prime is serial BCOKASxxxxx.
I have a Linksys E4200 Wireless unit on the second floor of my wood framed house in Anchorage, Alaska.
With the prime approximately 4 feet from the router, I downloaded a 37Mb PDF two times and timed the process. One took 43 seconds, the the second took 41 seconds. I quickly went out of the house onto the edge of the street approximately 50 feet from the router and downloaded the same file two more times (from the same server). This time, the downloads took 124 seconds and 132 seconds. Browser used was Dolphin.
That seems to be a significant difference; but, I don't know what the numbers really mean.
I next repeated the test with my Dell XPS Laptop running the latest FireFox with a download accelerator running and obtained 19 seconds, and 23 seconds.
Out to the street (exact same location), and the times were 27 seconds and 32 seconds.
I did some math, and determined that the Prime took 3 times longer to download the same file at 50 feet from the router, than it did at 4 feet.
The Dell took 1.4 times as long.
Of course, there are variables (different browsers and a download accelerator); still, that seems to verify (at least to me) that the WiFi in the Prime is somewhat weaker than other devices (based on only a sample of one).

I have a c2oka series prime. Made a comparison downloading a 37 MB file from my providers website (mysql.netvisao.pt) about 10 mts away from my belkin 600 router with my sgs2 and my prime, using Dolphin HD in both cases. The results were very clear! The prime took 1 min 25 secs to complete the download while the sgs2 did the same job in 40 seconds.
There is no doubt that something is very wrong with Prime's wifi.
1) this is a known issue, you could have posted this in the "known issues with prime" thread on the main page
2) time of download is irrelevant for this, why not just use the speedtest app that tells you how much bandwith you are getting in Mb/s? Test it at different distances 3x each distance, average the #s you have a good idea of exactly how much Mb/s bandwidth you lose/foot or w/e you want to do with the math.
So I recently upgraded from an older router, to a newer dual band 2.4, 5 N600 router and the connection speeds for my tablet are very low. I have a 30/30 connection speed and the prime is the only device that has download speeds at times of 200 kbps, up to about 12 mbps. I have adjusted the MTU, and I am wondering if anyone out there knows of a setting on the router that might be affecting the speed of the tablet. Also when I adjusted the MTU from 1500 to 1400 it greatly affected the Prime's speeds, I did get a couple of 1 kbps down load speed test before the adjustment.
Thanks.
I have been using Speedtest.net to measure network performance and rarely I sometimes end up with 4G (HSPA+) with a high latency of 600ms ping instead of the typical 60-120ms. What is strange is that if I then switch over to Wifi, the latency is 50-70 ms instead of the typical 10-15 ms and the bandwidth is only 12-15 Mbps instead of 25-30 Mbps download. The problem goes away if I then reboot the phone, where HSPA+ is back to 60-100ms ping and Wifi is again 15 ms with 25-30 Mbps download speed. Any idea what the issue is - do I have a defective radio? The problem has occurred twice so far since I got my phone on Monday.

I have noticed the same ...could be issues with the way the app is testing...I have yet to notice any latency loading pages.
