GPS isn't an issue, at least to me.
According to this very small poll you have a little over a 75% chance of getting a good one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=7329
Here's another regarding upgrading to ICS that shows a little over 80% having no problems.

Having said that, I have returned two so far.

I'm finally getting my 1st TP on the 19th, and hopefully it doesn't have any issues. I can understand the first 'batch' having trouble, and hopefully I'm not part of that. Wish me luck, I suppose.
Good luck man! You'll get a good one. Hater's gonna hate around here...just don't listen to it. You have to remember also that people will tend to seek out a forum for support when they are having problems before they go on to give positive feedback. Especially with the average person who doesn't frequent forums much.

Mine is flawless. WiFi is just as strong or stronger than my HTC Inspire. I'm at work so have not played with it too much, but I just took it out of the box. I love this thing. I will report back but so far with what it has done, I do not have any problems. Also, I have not tested GPS, mainly because like you, I do not care about the GPS functionality I knew this going into it. So you will get a good one, I have faith!
Reading here I see so many gripes and had so many worries, but now that I have my tablet in my hand all of those worries are relieved, this thing is fantastic. In my opinion way better than the iPad that everyone keeps telling me I should have got instead.
Android Forever.
Mine is also flawless. 100% so (hope I dont jinx myself.)
Mine doesn't have a single defect or flaw.

Once I factory reset mine after the upgrade to ICS, no issues with the device. GPS is fine as far as I am concerned. Sure, it's not strong but the previous one wasn't stellar either. WiFi I don't see an issue with at all.
And I even have a serial # on mine
working great here
Wifi is definitely weak-ish on mine, but no big deal. Everything (besides GPS which I haven't tried) else seems to work great.
Not gonna lie, its flawless over here. Though I can sympathize for those with problems. Really bad luck.
Mine works Great!

Really? Flawless? ... cmon everything has flaws to some extent.
Now, sometimes they are tolerable or a "meh whatever", but every device has flaws.
My washing machine has some UI flaws, but nothing I can't live with. Same for my car, and computer OS (linux), and ...
So, everyone should simply read between lines. There will be "Flawless" primes, and also completely "Fawked" primes.
Some issues are more real than others, but they all have issues in the eyes of the person holding it.
I finally got a perfect one...
I'm not having any problems - because I have not bought one yet... ... being happy to not be an early adopter has it's advantages.
I do sympathize with those having issues though!
No issues here. Very happy owner!
also perfect here no problem what so ever
Two happy owners
My wife and I both bought one and the docks. Both 32GB gray. We both upgraded to ICS, and both work and look flawless.
The only complaint I would have is the java. This thing has the power to run the full java virtual machine, instead of just the phone based java. That is not a fault of the tablet and my wife and I both are extremely satisfied - no - better said thrilled with the Prime. I think as Asus (however its pronounced ) releases even more firmware updates, it will get even better. I upgraded mine from a Nook Color that I had rooted with CM7, and my wife decided on this over an iPad. She's very glad she chose this over the iPad.
RR II
I'd like to thank EVERYONE for their input, even posts outside of this thread. I'm glad that I was able to see a positive outlook about the Prime as well as problems some people had as well, just to know what to expect in case something went wrong. This thread specifically makes me excited for my Prime coming in late tomorrow, and I can barely wait!
Thank you again to everyone! (Would "thank" everyone post-by-post, but I'm limited to 8 per day.)
i bought mine yesterday and i am very happy with it.. havent got the ics update yet because turkish update hasnt been released yet.. i am so excited about the ics update as i have tried cm9 on my sgsII and saw how amazing the ics is. This thing is great enough to make me happy as i always want to have the best.

hello all
I am having a very hard time finding whether or not the current batch of TF201 are having reliability issues. anandtech has confirmed that some the devices that were sent to early reviewers had some small hardware issues. in a follow up article of the retail device ( http://www.anandtech.com/show/5175/asus-transformer-prime-followup ) , anand confirmed that he does not have any issues (other than the lack of ICS)
can we have have your experiance with your current Prime. the other thread is useless in determining that. to quote myself :
"I believe that MODs should delete/lock this thread. i'm hearing that many people have no issues whatsoever with their devices.
the lack of "no problem" makes this poll totally useless for anyone who wants to get idea about the current reliability state of the prime."
-------------------------------------------------
Edit JAN2: an update was released today that promises to fix many complaints

http://androidforums.com/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime/470927-how-satisfied-you-your-prime.html
%86 (first 2) of the voters are saying they are happy
I'm one of the unlucky one who have prime with screen issue. my Prime have horrible screen bleeding that I can't pass looking at it every time I have black seen. Really not a happy camper
serious quality control issues ASUS is having coming out of the gate with these luckily for me its just my GPS that doesn't work.
Love my Prime in most aspects, except for a glaring screen issue (a dead pixel or bleeding in the screen, right near the center - see my thread), and the outer bezel on the right side is starting to feel loose. Got a replacement on order from Amazon.
so about %75 are ok with it. a little less reliable than expected ohh well.
anyone knows when the second batch coming in?

God bless you. Couldnt agree more. My prime creaks
same mistake in every poll.
there must be an option that is pointless so people can click on it to see the votes.
if there is a way to look at polls without voting, i can't be the only one not aware of it.
-1 vote for: kinda.
all these new polls popping up are actually in favor of the prime. just as said before, majority of users arent experiencing major issues or completely satisfied with device. the ones that are just being more vocal as far as making threads n such on it.
Team Prime 4 Life!
I am really happy with the Prime. My only problem is that it's pretty laggy for a Quad Core device. I wonder how fast it'd be if all 4 cores were always on.

Probably translates to 10% of shipped devices having significant issues - still bad, but its true that people who are happy won't be here, or reading the whining threads if they are.
This poll isn't going to be indicative of Prime owner's actual experience because it depends on how people choose to vote. Let me clarify: All Prime's at the moment have hardware issues (the GPS), thus every vote should go towards "Yes" or "Kinda" unless they choose to ignore this hardware issue.
as the poll goes on, it clearly shows way more people are extremely happy with their devices. this is not news to me as I've suspected this all along. and I'm still using the he'll outta my Prime. Loving it. a great purchase indeed.

Still have yet to put it down love this thing!
I may have voted too soon. I voted for "NO. more than happy with my Prime" but I'm having so many small problems that it's becoming a serious issue for me. The tab has randomly frozen while the screen was off about 4-5 times in the last week.
The GPS is spotty..sometimes it works great, sometimes it's off and shows the wrong placement.
Google earth freezes.
MX Video player has frozen a couple times.
My microphone goes in and out. I tried using voice search about 10 times just now to test out the commands such as "navigate to... " "note to self.." It worked every time but now my mic doesn't work at all. Tried doing a Google+ hangout with a few friends and they can't hear me through my mic. I guess I have to RESET it AGAIN....
Resetting takes 2-3 minutes to boot up.
Web browser shows some flash ads as a distorted image.
The last problem I'm having (so far) is that there is a lot of lag in between commands. Sometimes if I open browser or some other app it freezes for a few seconds so I keep pressing different areas of the screen and I get that message asking if i want to "force close" "wait" etc. I press wait and it eventually loads up.
even with super IPS on there is no issue with screen bleed
My gps sucks but i have no need for it so I have yet to fully test it
grey 32gb preordered 11/23 bestbuy STD shipped received 12/28.
initial screen bleeding and wifi issues.
bleeding went away after reboot and wifi /GPS works good not great after update.
tested wifi moms, friends, home, panera, Barnes n nobles, church, and my tethering.
all wifi analyiser and speedtest are compareable with my razr and friends og transformer at all places.
tested dolphin mini n mobile, opera mini n mobile, Firefox, n opera mobile is the smoothest and love it.
the tetra 3 games are incredible shows off the capabilities of the processeors.
camera is great.
screen is brilliant and bleeding went away.
reading all the negative reviews I got sucked in but I think the scrutiny was because of the hype and botched release definitely the thinnest, fastest, and sharpest tablet on the market now.
after debunking the issues and playing with it hardcore for 4 days no need to return it but will get the bestbuy warranty.

Just the boost in confidence I needed for buying one next week.
I was just about getting snowed under by all the negativity, thinking its complete crap.
Fixing screen bleed by rebooting, thats a new one though.
How does bleed go away? By the premise of the condition, it would seem the only way to go is worse.
Cool for you, none the less
Glad you're enjoying it! We're going to see more positive reviews as they start shipping out more this month.

I was wondering the same.
I had the same thing also the bleed was on one side in the setup and then it was gone and havent seen it since
I've had my Prime for a week and a half, and am very happy with it. Screen is great, speed is good. Wish the GPS worked better (mine does lock on, just takes like 10 minutes), but that isn't a big deal for me.
Gaming is cool with a PS3 controller (connected to dock's USB port).
If going from honeycomb to ICS is as big of an improvement on this device as it was on my Xoom (night and day difference to me), this device will be even better soon.

My theory is that its a firmware issue as opposed to hardware. How on earth could they push out a tablet without testing gps... My bets on one of these initial updates contained a gps bug. Id rather them spend the time on the ics update then a short term fix for honeycomb. Hopefully my theory holds true and ics will round everything out

I think so too. A lot of other tablets and phones that I heard about with similar issues was remedied with a software update. They either changed values or updated drivers. Another good theory is that since this was rushed, and was supposed to have ICS anyways on it, honey comb was literally slapped up here without much testing as far as making sure everything capatible. One thing is for sure, the broadcom GPS chip in here is top of the line for tablets now. An upgrade on the one in the galaxy tabs. So it'll make more since for it to be a software issue vs. The thin aluminum back cover. Yes, the metal back cover could be affecting it but I think its more to it then just that. Maybe a combo of that and bad software/drivers equates to what's going on now.
Plus ICS could literally drop any moment now.

About the light bleed disappearing, the glue that holds the screen down probably wasn't dry completely when the OP bought it. Give it some time and the glue will dry, and there goes your light bleed, in most cases.
It wasn't a reboot that fixed it, it was time.
Sent from my Snapdragon.
He was talking about a column of multicolored pixels on the right (in landscape) during initial setup, not backlight bleed... it's happened to a number of people, including myself.
I received my Prime on Monday January 9th and returned it on January 10th. First and most disappointing fact was the GPS failed to establish a lock. No signals were ever displayed using GPStest. This was after receiving two OTA updates which I was hopeful one of them would correct the problem. Neither update addressed the GPS issue.
There was backlight bleed on left side of display. Although my keyboard dock had not arrived, I cancelled it as well. Bottomline, I decided to keep the Transformer 101 and wait for better offerings. This was very unfortunate because I had very much anticipated the new tablet.
Although otherwise it appeared to be a very nice tablet, the issues just turned me off completely.
This forum seems to be turning into a personal diary for some people....

Actually, now it is GPS and "SERIAL NUMBER UNKNOWN"
Trust me, as more people get there tablets in hand, and cannot download and install firmware 4.0 ICS, they are going to be complaining about that too.
I am pissed about mine. Just got it yesterday, has "Serial Number Unknown" and I cannot install any updates. Heck yeah I am going to be negative. The "FIRST TABLET WITH ANDROID 4.0" for me is just "ANOTHER TABLET WITH HONEYCOMB 3.2.1."
I should be happy about that? It would be nice if there was a stickied thread for WIFI & GPS PROBLEMS so everyone could post there. Maybe even one for "Serial Number Issues" that way everyone else can post about how awesome their tablet is and the rest of us can moan in the OFFICIAL NEGATIVITY MY PRIME DOESN'T WORK RIGHT thread.
Problem is, I love my Prime, it seems to be pretty good. However, those of you with ICS, think about how much better it is with ICS. Meanwhile, I am stuck with Honeycomb cause of the Serial Number Issue. I cannot enjoy all the upgraded speed, faster touch response, new features etc.

That sucks. Sorry to hear about it. However, the point everyone is trying to make is that we don't need 600 new threads for each person who has a problem. Not only does it clog up the entire forum but it makes it much more difficult for people that do have problems to find answers. What's easier, browsing through one thread or searching through 50 different ones?
Also, nobody cares that whomever took it back and is getting something else. What's the point then? Nobody can help you (in this case, the OP) fix it now that it's gone. Why bother posting it at all!?
I'm about to cook up some lunch here in about 20 minutes.

Really, if you are too retarded to know that the GPS wasn't working good you shouldn't have a tablet at all because it probably too hard to understand for you.
I had a Motorola Photon, then tried out an Epic 4G Touch. Decided to keep the Samsung instead of the Motorola. Did NOT have any desire to go to any Motorola forums and announce that fact. None. Zero. In fact, haven't visited a Motorola forum since.
Why would I? I don't have a Motorola...

+1 FTW we need more mod activity in here. get the forum back to discussion about the prime.
what BT mice work with the dock, what's a good controller to go for etc. less pity, more constructive discussion please.
I received my Prime a week ago and I am going to return it today.
I have the latest firmware updates, including the GPS "fix" which changed my GPS capability from marginal to absolutely useless. And I have the bluetooth wifi issue, although it only occurs with one of my headsets. Two newer headsets do not cause the problem so it's not an issue. Neither is the GPS since I don't really need it on a tablet. And I really like the ICS UI on the Prime, and with ADW EX on top, I love it.
However, the overriding problem is general poor wifi reception. One of the things I do every day with a tablet (in addition to read email, browse, and play words with friends) is watch video at night in bed, using a tablet to not disturb my wife. My old crappy (albeit with CM7) Nook Color does this flawlessly and has full bars of wifi at this location, which is about 20 ft from the wifi router, but through a wall and a floor. The Prime shows one or two bars but stutters so much on streaming video (from netflix, youtube, other internet, or local server) that it is unusable.
I think that once it was discovered the Prime had so many issues, Asus' first priority should not have been trying to roll out half-tested firmware updates but to release the bootloader unlocker as quickly as possible. I have far more confidence in the devs at XDA to fine tune the software of a device to get the best possible performance of the hardware than I do with any manufacturer. And I should have followed my own rule on buying mobile devices, and that is to not consider buying one unless there are XDA roms available for it. But, it was quad core! And ICS! And hi-res! I got caught up in the excitement and ignored my own advice.
Now I don't know what to buy. Maybe wait for the 700 series, or just get an OG transformer once the price drops.
Cool story, bro.
I'm having an omelette this morning with some really spicy jalapeno cheese and some nice uncured ham. It should be really good. I think I'll enjoy it immensely.
This morning, I took a big dump, at first I thought that I would delay doing it till the evening so that I can a better version (after lunch) but I was having so many issues and my stomach was making noises so I decided to just go.
Moral of the story: No one gives a f**k whether you keep your Prime or return it. There are already countless threads like these, please stop posting this s**t.
Hmmm interesting
going to the gym now, then watching some tennis.

Just stupid and no one cares!
My life is complete now that I know the info reported in this thread. Thanks for that!!!! We are glad you are gone....please do not return. You don't deserve to have such power in your hands. Do us a favor and don't get the TF700 either, you can't handle bleeding edge technology. As a matter of fact....just close your XDA account.....you have nothing to offer us.
Not to mention there is already a thread about this!!!! you should be banned from XDA!!!!! that's my VOTE!

From one sucker to another. Way to pay it forward. I hope u disclosed those issues first although I'm sure you will say you did even if you didn't.

I think the fact that he specified "sucker" implies pretty strongly that he did not disclose the defects.
Oh, and, about that iPad 2 the guy bought and light bleed:

Sorry, also forgot to mention the iPad 2 and dead pixels. No need to link all of the stories, here's the Google Search link: https://www.google.com/webhp?source...303290c933ce3a0&biw=1366&bih=643&ix=heb&ion=1
And Apple's official policy for dead pixels on the iPad 2 seems to be that there have to be three of them before the thing can get replaced (with some wiggle room on a first replacement): http://www.tuaw.com/2010/11/05/apple-dead-pixel-policy-leaked-one-for-iphone-three-for-ipad-g/

My bad. I should have looked for threads on this topic before posting. But from the responses it appears poor wifi performance on a wifi-only device is not much of an issue for some people.

For some folks WiFi seems to work fine. For others, the signal and speed degrades rapidly as you move away from the router. Much worse than other devices for me.

The responses to your post have nothing to do with the Prime's performance, and everything to do with your creating another thread harping on the same issues that already exist in many, many duplicate threads. Why should anyone feel the need to respond to you about issues that've already been beaten to death?
i highly suggest being very carefull because many defects with this evo, my camera doesnt even zoom in and take pictures correctly.....this is insane. i will never give in again, samsung all the way baby
user error? mine works just dandy! recorded the whole Devils celebration over the rangers and too kstills at the same time. zoomed in and out perfectly.
That's tragic, you made the determination that there are lots of defects based on your experience with the phone you got. Seems kind of silly. I would say based on the number of phones shipped, and the few comments on defects I have read in ALL the forums I visit.
In all honesty, both Samsung smartphones I had were buggy. Not just defective, but permanently borked in one way or another. GPS that doesn't lock? Yep, I had one.
Don't swear off one company just because you got a lemon. Samsung has its lemons too. When life hands you lemons.. send it back for a good one
what do i do guys, return with htc... they said 2 week wait
sprint doesnt even have in stock yet, any suggestions????
Mine works just fine too I am only saying this cause I don't want people seeing this and writing it off cause of your one issue.

there are many people reporting camera issues. it would be no big deal if they had some in the store, but they dont... so its a 2 week wait,

if it is only a camera issue.. can you live with it for a week or 2.. till they can get you another one?
NO product has zero defects?
you said lots of defects and yet you only listed one???
i have no problems with my camera zooming in or out.. so what else you got?
only problem with my camera is that sometimes it over saturates the picture, but it also works out to my advantate, i take pictures when its getting dark and the grass looks nice and green as if it was a sunny day. Lovin it.

since when has SS become the benchmark for good quality phones? They had a plethora of issues when the S and S2 first released as far as I'm concerned. My cousin got his S2 in Jan/ Feb this yr and it is buggy as hell and by that time the phone had been out way too long.
But anyway my suggestion: return your phone and wait for the S3. I think you will never be able to be satisfied w the quality of HTC phones because you have already formed a conception about them. Even the buggiest Samsung phone will be better than an HTC good phone according you. Return it and get another phone. At the end of the day it's your money your experience you should get what makes you happy. And by doing that you are doing goods as well since there are less negativity going on around.
Cheers.

well, i got it from my friend, so im screwed
i have to send it to htc to get it repaired....****ing blows... 2 week waiting period

My wife's camera is busted also. So I am waiting either bestbuy to get more stock, or 30 days to pass and go to Sprint to have it switched out on insurance.

It is just a phone... If you get that worked up, it is time to switch to a new hobby.
I have no issues with mine, get it replaced instead of opting for a plastic Samsung phone.
true, but the idiots today are paramount, and its so hard to live among idiotes and bums.......

First u were jumping the HTC ship to Samsung because of one camera defect. Now jumping the smartphone ship altogether because u have to send it to a manufacturer who's willing to fix it for u even though u don't have the original receipt?
Bit much don't ya think?
