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.

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?

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

%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
The answer was in front of our eyes the whole time ladies and gents and I can hardly believe ASUS let it slip past them before it was too late and they just shipped them out anyway instead of having a "real delay".
GPS signals simply cannot penetrate the all metal design of the Primes casing (also the reason for the weaker WiFi signal with your basic in home routers that your laptops and other electronics have a stronger signal strength then the prime). If you have a TomTom or a Garmin go ahead and put them in a metal box and tell me how well they work. If you look at the design of the I pad it has a plastic window and or other tablets with GPS ie Galaxy they have a plastic case this explains the eventual locks to satallites and then drops its because the signal is so weak in the first place.
I will be returning my Prime and wait for the new designs that ASUS is probably working on as I type it would have been nice if they could have let us know but it is what it is.
You're late to the party Jr.

If I'm not mistaken everyone is still trying to figure out why their GPS isn't working and waiting for answers from ASUS.
Then explain to me how some people's claim that their GPS does work????? I know a lot of people claim that it works perfectly and a lot of people claim that it doesn't. So who knows why it doesn't work as of now. But you would know this if your read the GPS issue thread!

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.
#Can'tWait!
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...

I had first noticed that while docked I had this flickering while closing the tab. It appears there is something totally wrong with this unit. Today I was playing zen pinball and i pressed hardly for the right flipper and this screen flickering again. Starting with the bezel when I apply pressure to the right bottom part of the tab the screen flickers into white. I don't think it is a common issue.

Ok, every product has a small percentage of defective devices. Besides the other issues, THIS is that small group. Return it, it's that simple. They will send you a new one. No need to create a topic to vent your anger when there is a very simple solution.
Wait wait wait.....no nobody is allowed to complain??? If it's a valid concern that doesn't seem right.

Mine dID something like this after exiting a game. This was a couple of days after ICS installed. I did a couple of reboots and it disappeared. Never did it before ICS and has been good since. I marked it up to ICS and program issue. Prime is working great now and even the same game works fine. Hopefully it is something similar.

The Complaint System Works
How quickly everyone forgot about the bootloader, the whole Prime community sang the loudest compaint campaign that made Asus change their mind about the lock. Let's give those with valid reasons the room to voice their concerns, not getting any answer or support will only lead to fans losing their Prime esteem and leaving the fold.

Up today I hated Apple. My next tablet will be Ipad3.
I am just joking. I'll wait for the next Samsung. I am not an Acer guy, and although I have huge respect for Asus in the PC area (for the last 17 years my mainboards had always been Asus, 7 note and netbooks including TM91 and I recently bought the Zenbook) i lost my trust in the Android arena. I returned TF1 in a week because of terrible light bleeding, and now this. I thought mine was perfect except GPS but after 3 weeks of use now I discover the screen issue. I was really sorry to see Samsung not giving any hints about its next tablet in CES 2012. I had 2 Acer notebooks with huge problems, so it is not my brand. It means I'll wait some time and am very sorry for selling GTab 10.1.

LOL....what do you consider defective? Oh, you must mean the GPS.. no where did Asus claim that GPS reception on this unit would perform on par or better than the original, you just assumed it. Not up to your standards then return it.

It's definatly a valid concern. I'm just wondering why we have threads with people just venting. It's a VERY easy fix. If Asus didn't fix it, THEN he should vent, I would too. I just feel like Asus deserves the benefit of the doubt on this. Don't blast a company if you haven't even tried to work out the issue.

This is one of the most ignorant statements on this forum.
So when you bought your garmin nuvi which says gps on the box and you cant use it within 50 feet of any structures or trees, that to you is acceptable because the box does not state "it works".
GPS printed on my prime box, meaning GPS should work ALL the time, not on Sundays at 3pm wearing a blue tie and purple pants. GPS should work as GPS is expected to. Outside with clear skys should not display can not locate satellites...

**** you Asus. $500 for this utter piece of **** tablet. I can't use gmail, email, maps, calendar, widgets, no games at all, pretty much ANYTHING, because everything just hangs after a few seconds. I've waited since last December, one update after the other, even went through a month long RMA, so far no sign of improvement. With the last bits of patience left I'll wait for the jelly bean update... and then if the prime still sucks - I'm going to punch a hole in this thing with a hammer, apply the baseball bat treatment office space style, and post pictures of it here.

Or you could sell it on ebay and donate the money to a charity that you feel could use it...

RAM Manager PRO with profile hard gaming fixed all my problems ! I was like you since january... Using that app and slide out apps from recent apps list when I finish using them, gives me 0 crashes.
Try It man !
Good luck !

Why shouldn't he be able to let off a bit of steam after waiting nine months for updates to fix his problems and going through a lengthy RMA process that still didn't fix the issues he's having. It sounds like his Prime is unusable in it's current state which is unacceptable for a $500+ product. I'm sure the stories of being upgraded to an Infinity or being given a full refund doesn't help the situation either, it saddens me to see other people given a get out of jail free card when I'm left with a product I find sub-par from a technical standpoint that I have no way of getting rid of.

I do think he was overly harsh against folks who have problems and cant help themselves. However I got the same weak wifi laggy prime everybody else with problems had, I just did something about it instead of waiting too long to return it and crying the blues. If my college student kid came to me and said I got some tech that is unusable as is but I waited too long to return it. I would ask her whose fault is that?
Instead of giving us that excuse on why you haven't applied a hammer to it yet due to wait on upcoming JB release.
Why don't you just go to ASUS and download the 4.1 JellyBean update for TF300 and install in on your TF201.
Whilst I agree that's what should happen, many people either naively hoped for future fixes and so kept it as it would be a struggle to get another at the time or like myself were unaware of some of the issues until it was too late (I had less than a week since I bought it abroad from a shop that doesn't operate over here). I wasn't able to compare the WiFi since I didn't know where the router was in the Villa I was staying in and had no other device to compare it to so was ignorant to the WiFi problem which I guess you could partly blame me for for not checking online. Many aren't willing to open their Prime's like you did (A move I may try if the WiFi is still poor after my RMA) to fix their issues out of fear of another issue coming up and then not being able to RMA it for that issue.
