Hello,
Just got mine and I am mostly happy with it but have found an issue with the touch screen having a dead zone.
Mine was shipped with 8.8.3.27 which was not rootable so I started playing with my device and found a huge dead zone area that effected all applications. This has made me want to return my device but I said .29 has been knocking let me see if this fixes it and before I post on XDA.
After updating to 8.8.3.29 the dead zone went away and the only thing it can be was the update or the reboot. I should have rebooted first but I applied the update.
The dead zone when held horizontal was at the top right if holding in portrait mode the dead zone is still there and was above the clock on right hand side about 25% of the way up.
The app I used was "Multitouch Visual Tester" and would like someone to confirm as not only did this seem to fix my dead zone but the touch screen is a bit more responsive now.

8.8.3.28? I haven't seen that build til now. Where did you buy that TP from?
Mine is on the .27 and doesn't show an update to .29. Is there a way to manually update it?
I will try that app out and let you know if it makes touch more responsive for me.

mine is on ,29 after I updated the first day I got it on 12/22. you can manually "Check" to see if there's an update. go to settings, then about tablet, then system updates. once in there, press tab that says check for update. I check on a daily basis to see if anything new pops up. don't want to wait till prime finally decides to tell me there's one..lol
I'm having similar problem, but I'm already on .29. Trying that app right now.

Where can I find this app? Not in the Market and a Google search turned up nothing.
Thanks in advance.

I understand that, i have been trying to do that, but it see's no update. So I am stuck on the .27, O'well. I am going to try and return it here in a week or so and get another one and hope I get a later batch then when this one was made.
You can manually update to .29 go to Asus support down the newest update and unzip it then drag the files to your SD card stick it in the prime and a notification should pop up to update.
Its pretty simple if the card don't read reboot the prime and it should work.

that app just tests the screen to make sure it registers mulitouch. it fixes nothing..lol that guy was say updating to. 29 fixed his deadzone. not the app. he just used app to confirm it was fixed. I got the mulitouch and prime registers 10 point mulitouch everywhere on screen.

that's very strange you on an older version and your prime hasn't prompted you to update through OTA. almost everyone I seen here got prompted almost immediately.
Hol up, lol you might have the version that can be rooted with RazorClaw. give it a shot n see what happens. worse case scenario is that it tells you. an error that it can't be rooted with razorclaw.

Correct i am looking for someone still on .27 to see if the deadzone exist.
I found it just with one finger dragging it back and forth, like i said it rather went away with update or the reboot.

Man, glad you got to it, I was reading the thread wondering why two people thought the app fixed, it. he never said that. Needless to say I am gonna test the crap out of mine when I get it after all the BS I had to deal with.. Still 4 days to go... sigh.
I see. I missunderstood the OP.

Thank you, it must have been a fluke. If anyone else gets dead zones chime in.
I've been having this issue myself. I have updated to .29 and still no help. After using Multitouch test, I noticed a few dead areas in the top left area below the Asus logo. Tried eveything I could to fix the issue. I noticed after browsing the web for a while, the whole area below the Asus logo (about 2 inches by 2 inches) would become unresponsive. If I hit the power button and unlocked the unit, that dead area would go away. I've already contacted Asus for an RMA and will ship it tomorrow. I would have taken it back to Gamestop but it doesn't look like I could get my hands on another one for a while anyways.
Hi guys,
i checked for an update for my german Prime (from Amazon Germany) 2 hours ago, but there was none.
Is the ICS update rolling out to Germany for someone?
from what i've seen its only been rolled out to us version primes..there was a report of a prime owner in mexico receiving the OTA but Canada hasn't.
US allways gets everything first
+1, still no ICS love on my Prime :-\
The rest of the country's should follow soon.. Ah well, we pay a much higher price and are always second in line.

Yes because they are beta testers right now. Read few posts more how many problems they are having now...

Yeach - hopefully... hihihihi
We're all Asus paying beta b*tches. Most Primes delivered outside Taiwan are in the US, thus they will likely update the remaining SKUs a or two day after, just as they did with the previous updates.
I hope that someone with a german Prime can upload the update file in the cache folder. That will be very useful for people withput a serial number.

Also waiting for ICS on my TF201, and also waiting for my keyboard dock. So i am still on my TF101 from time to time.

Hmmm.... Still no ICS update this morning (Jan. 11, 8 am).
Anyone in Germany with a german Prime and ICS?
No update here yet either. I'm sure it will be here soon enough..
i got this morning WW SKU update. saved root with root keeper, restored after update - all up and working.

ParaTr00per, have you bought your Prime in Germany?
Guys, I'd do a manual check. A dutch transformer just got an update...
In the Czech Republic is available from the update this morning.
In the morning when I looked and there already waiting for update (6:20)
Germans always need something special...
I wonder what's the difference in our build....
Any ideas when we are likely to receive the OTA ICS update in the UK?
Probably on the 12th

where did you get your prime
i got mine from best buy in USA and got update notification when i did a check for update
try doing a manual check for update
settings>about tablet>software update>check update
Please indicate in the title that this is a question, otherwise it reads like you have seen the update.
If we knew when it would be, there would be a post about it already...
I am fairly certain the ICS update was global. Are you connected to internet and does your Prime have serial numbers listed? It seems that people that don't have serial numbers are unable to get the update.

No only US and TW models got it yet. Confirmed by ASUS.
I got it from PC World on the 2nd Jan. Tried the manual check but nothing yet so must assume it will come in the next few days.
Im in the uk with a UK prime and have no ICS update yet either...
Still waiting here!
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
no update for me
There will be no update until the WW version of the update is sent live. As Diamondback2010 said only US and TW updates are live at the moment. If I'm not mistaken, Canadians are also using WW version so even though they're only a stones throw away from the US they don't have ICS either. Just assume the 12th and any earlier will be a bonus (so long as you don't end up with an update brick).
Downloading update now. 02:57am uk
Its now here for the UK, downloaded and installed.

Thanks for the heads up guys! Here we go!
Congrats UK! Glad to hear that I can update my tablet once it actually gets shipped from UK without having to worry about backups prior to update.
Downloading as I type. Fingers crossed my perfect Prime stays that way!
Got mine this morning... cant' really tell much has changed, but it just feels that little bit smoother and finished.
Camera was stuttering after the update, i'm sure nothing that reboot wont sort.
Looking great to me so far. So smooth, just shows how bad Honeycomb was when you have a basis for comparison, under the hood.
Anyone else finding the check for firmware update button is greyed out?
Hi
I've had my Transformer Prime a few month and lately I've been experience some screenflickering.
I was in contact with ASUS support here in Sweden and ive got a RMA for it.
So, I was wonder does anyone else have the same flickering? Have you taking for RMA? How long did it take and did they fix it?
To clarify what I mean with flickering I've med a recording of it, and this time it was a small one, usually they take up half of the screen.

I had that happen once after using the youtube app.
I rebooted and it fixed it.
I did a factory reset and have never had the problem again.

Yeah, a reboot usually fix it, and I've made several resets, but they still keep occurring.
What I'm most worried about is that the Asus technician guy will say "There is nothing wrong with it" and charge me for the whole process :S
I used to have this problem, but after the latest update it no longer happen

Yes, known issue. I've only experienced it something like 2 times after some extraordinarily heavy usage though. Haven't seen it at all on update .21, and have only had the entire screen flicker white once for Dark Meadow.
Wait out the next update which should be here very soon, see if it doesn't help. If not, I don't know what to say other than try another product/brand because you just never know what'll happen with this one.

Definitely a software problem. .21 was released mostly to address it I think, but the next update (.24?) is also including a new kernel supposedly, so we can hope to see some much larger differences than usual.

Just in case I did send in my Transformer Prime.
However, the curios thing is; according to UPS it was returned on delivery ? :S
So either they just returned it or they had a new one ready?

The black 32gb version seems to be out of stock pretty much everywhere, online and in store (apparently it's on constrainment, so they don't know when it will even make it there).. Anyone know where it's possible to pick this up? Ideally it'd be somewhere in the nyc area so I could go get it right away, but online would work too.

Thanks for the heads up. After continuing my search all weekend to find a place that had it in stock, I did end up ordering it from cdw yesterday. They were also the only place online that I saw even had them in stock. The guy working over there just called up to confirm the shipping address and he was really friendly. Thanks again tobyq!
