Everynight before I go to bed I throw all of my electronics on the charger. This morning when I grabbed my prime it was SUPER hot. This is the first time this has happened. I am on update .13.....any ideas? Anyone else?

Oh yeah it also did the don't wake up untill I hold the power button for 10 seconds.

Hopefully when our primes are running properly we will be able to look back at these issues and laugh =P

Yeah you are describing the sleep of death issue that are in the two most popular threads right now. Sorry!

Sorry. It happened before but my prime didn't get hot. That's what I'm conceded about.

Tapatalk question

I noticed quite a few people here use tapatalk app. Screenshots on the Market were taken only from a mobile phone. How does it work on a tablet? Does it scale nicely? Does it properly flip the screen between vertical and horizontal?
Yep it works well. Here's a screenshot.

Unsubscribe the sub-forum from your favourites, go to the forum list, refresh it and then add it back to your favourites.

It works but it has plenty of missing features like the ability to search individual forums (or so it appears) and I think the interface mediocre but it's better than nothing.

Yeah, it works, but not at all tablet optimised. There is a HD version which has been released in the Samsung store only for the Galaxy Tab but unfortunately it does not appear to be released for any other tablets yet and when I tried installing the apk it loaded, but FCs when you try to log into a forum, making it useless.
So there does seem to be hope for a tablet version at some point.

[Q]Auto boot when on ac

I'm still quite new to the prime n learning about it. One thing thats really annoying me is whenever I plug in the prime when its powered down it boots up!
I'm guessing everyone else's does this, is there any way to stop it or to halt the boot procedure and power it off?
Thanks

Daylight saving time does not work

The clocks went forward in Europe last night, but my TFP is still on winter time. Our Gingerbread phones and Windows laptops adjusted their clocks properly. Is it ICS glitch or some TFP-specific problem?

Oh, just noticed that my time zone was set to GMT+0, without any geographical name. Changed this to London and now it works OK.

[Q] Keyboard not working at all

Hi i have experienced strange problem with my dock. Keyboard does not work at all. Prime detects dock connected, even touchpad and usb works fine. But i cant type anything with hw keyboard... has anyone had problem like this?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
Do you use the stock Asus keyboard for the on screen keyboard, because I recall if you don't it can sometimes freak the dock out.
Im using thumkeyboard. But it has been working normally for past 4 months.and then suddenly keyboard stopped working
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
Thats really weird. Did you update your tablet today?
No. I just spilled few drops of water on dock. But it didnt look that serious. I cant believe it caused keyboard not to work if everything else on dock works normally.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
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.

Actually it was alcohol vodka. Hope it gets better. If not im gonna rma it, cause i have many bright spots on screen too

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.

Green camera issue

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....

Well, as far as I know, it's a software issue were most of Prime users encounter during its lifetime. This happen to me too. I don't know why...

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.

This is really sad for some of the prime owners... lets just be hopeful that someday somehow they can find a way to fix this....

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.
here are a couple links

Good luck!
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. Reasons like this are prime example while i will never purchase another asus product.

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.
Has anyone found out the cause of this? To fix it ourselves so as to not pay ASUS to do it? I saw somewhere that it might be an overheat problem or something like it....

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 :\

Mine had never been dropped when it happened. But i found that the fridge gave me a temp fix when the problem first arose.... Don't know how my tablet ended up in the fridge, but that's where i found it lol. Once i get some micro screwdrivers i will be able to check. My eyeglasses phillips was too big for the screws.
