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.
Now will be selling my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

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.

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.

Update .21 is the latest update (although another is right around the corner) and the one you need. I don't have mine yet, so I'm not too sure, but as soon as you connect it and slide the locking mechanism over then it's connected. You have to turn your GPS on under your settings and it should be using the dongle. Have a walk outside, put it on and slide the lock, turn your GPS on and run GPS Test or something similar. Remove dongle and test again, you should see a huge decrease in performance if it performs without the dongle at all.
to be honest i have never seen any problem with the gps, i know its not really a great benchmark but seems just as good as my galaxy s.
i will run the tests with and without but didnt seem any quicker to lock when i popped outside a while ago. wasnt sure it was actually working which is why i posted this. wondered if it showed up anywhere similar to when the dock is in place.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
.22 is the latest update. It was forced so you wouldn't have seen it happen. Being rooted doesn't stop updates. I am rooted and it updated itself days ago. It contained the fixes for the dongle to work. For those who are unlocked, you have to wait for your ROM writer to add the code. Gary has said that ASUS are looking to release a version of NVFlash for those who are unlocked.

Really? I suppose you're one of the rare few who has relatively decent GPS reception somehow. Good for you lol, I hate you
I suppose the only way to really be sure is to disconnect the internal GPS from its antenna and then use the dongle. Surely there would be a way for the system to realize the dongle is inserted and to let the end-user know about it. I mean, they tell us to type words with the keyboard, I just can't believe they're not telling us we've plugged the dongle in. I wonder if some kind of Tasker profile couldn't differentiate between it and the dock, I doubt it?

Does the dongle make a marked difference in reception?
none at all as far as i can see.

2. my prime gps was working ok to start with.
hoping there is someway to get feedback from the prime to let me know its using the dongle

It definitely helps my gps but it dose look bad.
Maybe a company may start making skins for the dongle to make them more attractive and protected. Exposed dongles isn't good. It' not immuned to bumps and bruises.

My bad. Typo on my part. Of course it is .21!!
i think the dongle is well designed. locks in place and fairly discreet considering. could have been an ugly block like a usb stick or the camera add on thingy for the ipod.

I'll pull out my inner demandarin real quick to say do not apply direct pressure to the dongle - don't use it as an actual handle!
That being said, IMO it would be OK so long as you have larger hands and are pretty careful about it, just don't go trying to support your entire tablet with it. Don't support the tablet at all with it actually, seriously, going to feel terrible if you accidentally crack your screen lol
well didnt actually mean just the dongle. just adds a bit of a ridge to stop and slippage while holding

No, it has very impressive draw distance (you can see things far away) but its not on par with the Tegra 3 games. If Gameloft doesnt start making their games using the unity engine they'll be left behind.....

WTH.... another update this morning?!.... no, let me reprase that: another update that asks me to download 1.7 GB of data this morning?! What the heck is up with Gameloft? First off this game is barely playable on a Tegra 3 tablet, and then their ridiculous updates are serious bandwidth killers.
The game was downloading on the first install page every time I opened it! Works almost flawlessly in my gs3, so it's definitely a device specific issue. I am also getting frustrated eating up my data allowance on this.
Edit: I don't see any update today??

Water in the wrong place could potentially cause it to stop working. Wait a few days for the water to dry out completely and it should be fine. If not you could try sending it in for repairs but they might not do it for free if they notice the water damage.

My keyboard and everything else stopped responding on me once as well. Called ASUS and sent in for RMA, was a little worried since I had a skinomi skin on it. They were able to repair it and not mess up the skin to much, couple of little things were marked up on the skin, but considering I figured they would just remove it, it was a bonus. I know it's not a definite solve, but the keyboard is fixed to the chasis, checked before I sent it in. Got it back in about 10 days from the time I sent it in.
Last two days ago, my prime fell off from our bed, my daughter somehow accidentally kicked it. Never thought about checking the camera right away, busy checkin f theres a dent made, fortunately not. However, yesterday, just realized that the camera was busted. Tried to press the back of the prime somehow fixes temporarily, but still it's annoying.... though i am not so fond of using this tablet as a camera, but seems it's incomplete. Should i return this for service or just leave it like this with bused camera. I know it's my call but i wanna hear some of your opinions. Thanks guys....

I doubt the reason the camera quit working is due to the fall, I baby my Prime and it has never taken a lick, yet my camera quit working about a week ago, I get the green scrambled screen like many, many others have gotten with theirs. Either they have poor connections to the board internally, or the software drivers are bad. Only my front works, and I live overseas so getting service is going to be a huge pain.

It's most definitely hardware. Squeezing the TFP by the camera brings back the camera for a second which makes it 100% hardware. It's likely a loose connection or poor solder joint.
My rear camera went green and I have never dropped it.
Unfortunately I have unlocked my Prime and therefore "technically" I am out of warranty. I may have to try to RMA it and see if they will fix hardware even if I unlocked it. I also have an LCD Mura and all the weak WIfi and BT issues. I may just wait until any other hardware issues popup and try to get them fixed all at the same time.
yep, this is most definitely hardware related. same thing happened to me and i had to RMA it. they didn't try to pin it on me for CID though, so you should be all set. I had my prime repaired and back in 12 days from sending it.
there are also a number of threads about this already. please try searching before making a new thread.

Mine is currently being RMA'd for exactly the same reason. It had a minor bump and the camera showed a broken image in green. Mine would also temprorarily get fixed by squeezing but after a bit that stopped working. Moral... Treat it like glass.
I am more than pissed. I just checked my camera. And now its GREEN! I take very good care of my equipment. My GF knocked it off of the couch last night while in the dock. maybe 15" fall onto my leg / carpet. I am beyond pissed.

I've got the green lines of death on my 8mp camera too. It just started happening. I can do the "squeeze" fix but as soon as I stop squeezing it goes back green and I never really get the camera to look right while squeezing. I also tried the soft reset button without help. I really don't want to RMA AGAIN. I just got my Prime back from Asus. I do have to say my RMA experiance was not bad though.

pretty sure its a physical damage problem, which seems more and more likely is caused by being dropped. might just be a loose connection, but unless someone with this issue opens up their prime to see if they can simply reconnect it, we won't know :\
