Hi gary, i am having issues with my prime (poor wifi speeds and constant youtube buffering) When I am in my bedroom (about 40 feet from dual band wireless N router) i get constant youtube buffering while playing "HD". Also i run a speed test and it says I am getting about 2 Mbps down speed at that location. In that same location my iphone 4 for says im getting 17Mbps down and no youtube buffering.
I was running firmware ".11.1" (not .11) and i had no troubles with the youtube buffering in that location.
Honestly i really dont care about my speed but i do like to watch youtube before bed.
So can you acknowledge that there are issues with youtube buffering and asus is aware of them? Again it worked just fine on .11.1 but not on the new version.
Thank you
Below are my specs
Wireless N dual band router
40M/5M fiber connection
8 WIFI devices (all work well but the prime)
Again I am about 40 feet away from my router
Why wouldn't you just send him a PM or an email?

I would like to make it public that way if anyone else is having these issues they know Asus is aware of them.
With a pending lawsuit don't expect him to admit any problems....
Try pinching where the antennas are, return it, or rma it.

Its a software issue with YouTube not a hardware issue. I had no troubles with YouTube on. 11.1 but now I do with. 13
Sory i didnt read that
Read all of his posts he said to rma it to someone similar
I don't think an email will fix it. Again I know its a software issue because it worked fine on. 11.1, also I am on my second prime and it has the same issue.
Thanks

Riiiiiggghhhttt!!!!
You want to make it public so anyone else having these issues would be smart enough to use the search function, and not start another thread They'll read your post instead - which is a post about an issue already in an existing thread.
You want an ASUS representative to acknowledge an issue while there is a pending lawsuit against them...
You had another more respectful avenue to contact the person (PM) about your issue but refused to take that option. Yet, you want that XDA member - one who's been assisting a lot of users (whether by his choice or not) about issues that are not personally his fault, put personally on the spot instead.
In the meantime, can you help us(other users-since you seem in the mood to help out "anyone else is having these issues") by telling us if you've taken any steps to remedy your situation, so that "if anyone else is having these issues" would know what not to do, other than start another thread that complains and call out another user in the same manner?
And, as a way of helping you out, I'm responding to your thread so it would also be bumped up for other users. who may have overlooked your post, and they can read it. You know, the ones who might have these issues.
Hmmmm . . .BTW, you really expect a response from him?

Must be that time of the month with the over reaction of posts. Repeating the same post as another, already directed him to the existing thread but yet wanted to continue the thread by posting steps the took to remedy, and then being a ****. Some post better left to yourself SMH.
@hunter99507: There are a couple threads with plenty of posts for you to sift through. And ip_stealth already suggested a reason Post #4. And Gary is a big boy he can answer you himself and doesn't need anyone else to make assumed comments on his actions. If he does, he does, if he doesnt, he doesnt.

You need better comprehension skills.
I told him a thread on the subject matter exists
I asked him what steps he took because he never posted anything more about it.
Yes, you are being a ****...
"Some post better left to yourself SMH." Take your own advice next time.
And maybe learn the rules and guidelines in this forum.
Here it is if you don't know where to find it.
[edit]
BTW Good luck on fomenting this attitude of calling Gary(or other posters name) out just to satisfy a user's ego - that shows a real level of respect on your part.
I think this is getting out of hand. Listen to what I wrote
I don't care about the wifi issues, there are numerous posts on it. What I do care about is the You tube buffering issue. With my current transformer I had no trouble loading HD video on YouTube in my room with firmware. 11.1 it seems like firmware .13 broke YouTube.
I could care less about a stupid lawsuit, I just want to make Asus aware that they broke YouTube in .13 version so they can fix it in the next version.
Also I wanna know if someone else has these issues because I have not read any other posts on thus YouTube issue.
Thanks
Okay, let's talk about this.

If you've been keeping updated, you'd know that the update (per Gary) is waiting for approval.
You want to make Asus aware of this YouTube issue in .13.
Have you sent anything to ASUS through proper channels to make them aware of this issue?

Try this to find out -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=14243570
You'd see that some people are having issues but not a percentage where you could actually acknowledge as an "Issue". Which means the variance is so low it can actually be due to user or app settings. The results also denote it could have something to do with Wi-Fi Issues.
Search is a valuable tool which should be used more often. It saves you the hassle of having to start another thread, and as well consolidates the information needed that would help other users with the same issues.
If you and other users take advantage of that tool, it would be easier to look for, find and resolve problems, as well as share information regarding those problems.

That's because you did not have good tact when starting this thread.
It's not polite to call someone out publicly who has done nothing to warrant it.

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

poll with more results
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
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....
I'm hungry.
I will order pizza....

Can we stop with the negative posts? Its always the same thing too. GPS. I see post after post saying the same thing. Look at this the opacity is the same price and it lacks GPS. So go get your overly priced ipad. Don't post here.
I returned mine too...it won't wipe my butt.
today i went to work, picked up coffee on the way, it hurt my stomach.
Tomorrow I will probably not get coffee, i will update tomorrow.
Thanks for the Blog report. If you do not own it anymore why even be in this forum? Just to get the mydiary.blog entry in?

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...

Hi Guys,
I just won the asus transformer prime tegra 3 off an android gaming website. Does this thing have a locked bootloader? If not are there any good roms/kernels/hacks available? I'm mostly a motorola guy but am very excited to check out this tablet. I hear it's great for gaming.
Also does this thing have a case that works well with the keyboard dock? I would appreciate any tips!
Honestly did you even bother to read any of the topics existing in the accessories subsection or android development? All of your questions are answered there.
There are cases and there are roms. Bootloader is unlockable but I don't think fully. Asus provides a tool to do it but it also voids your warranty and it cannot be relocked.
Ignore the Rudeness

I know when I first started finding out answers to the most basic questions were pretty tough to find on my own. Anywhoo yes the bootloader is locked, and unfortunately the only way to unlock it is to use the ASUS tool provided. However, doing so will void your warranty, so proceed with caution. As far as a case goes, check here. Just read around in all the forums and once again, ignore the rudeness.

Not trying to start an argument here, just covering all the bases. If read in a particular way in can be taken as rude. Sure, there are posts out there that are 100x worse, but an apple is an apple, even if it's a 1000 ft tall apple.

Oh you poor guy :/ congrats to this monstrosity of a device. Look at all the threads in this forum, this tablet is soooo bad and sucks sooo hard that you will be wishing you never won! Nothing will work, there will be bugs all over the place and you get 0 (ZERO) support from Asus. Which is obviously the worst company in the universe (reffering to every 2nd post in this forum). They intentionally made it all aluminum to **** your wifi signal up and they are spying on you with the front facing camera all the time and laughing about you when you get angry because of all the bugs.
Also if you have the Transformer Prime you now know how you will die. One day you will get lost in the woods and die of hunger because the GPS of your prime couldnt find a signal.
Now if you want all of this not happening to you, if you want peace in your life again, if you want to go to heaven... Just send your prime to the following adress.......

There was some silly bickering going on, and the mods asked for it to stop. Guess it didn't. But I would have thought it would just be locked and not deleted. Unless the OP asked to have deleted. Too bad.

My guess is that once the user account is deleted, all threads go along with it.

Still here, tenderchkn http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4491672
What happened to it? One specific person doing nothing but trolling.

I know right? He came in offering no help, insisting people are overreacting about the problem then cried wolf and asked for thread deletion when mods told him to stop baiting.
I literally read through the whole thread and even posted my hypothesis backed up with pictures. I guess it only takes one to ruin it for the others.
you can still see the google cache of the thread if you wanted anything specific from it. only the first page though

Same here...I didn't see what happened in the thread, but I guess I just don't understand why the WHOLE thread needed to be deleted instead of cleaned up or just locked?

Unfortunately the thread had over 35+ (from what I remember) pages of content, and most of the good stuff was buried in the middle
DAMNIT!
I was using that thread as a reference in an effort to get several of the major tech/Android blogs to post articles about the black clipping problem. I don't understand why the mods had to delete the entire thread when all they really needed to do was delete the last page or two of nonsense brought on by one troll.
I may try to start a new one if the mods don't/can't bring the thread back...
I think I'll try to get an admin at XDA from http://www.xda-developers.com/contact/ to look into this and possibly revive the thread. That's way too much collateral damage to control one user posting a couple stupid comments
Hey guys, I'm definitely still here. I said a couple of things to PeartFan40 that were direct, but not disrespectful in response to his belittlement. I was just trying to respond to his trolling and trying to make him realize that his "input" was not welcome. But I guess the mods thought it went too far, for which I sincerely apologize. We received a warning from oka1, but we didn't say anything off-topic following the warning.
i agree that post is very valuable
especially since i see now no solution was found,and black clipping still exists
REVIVE!

The mod who issued the warning was oka1, but I don't know if he is the one who deleted the thread.
I smell a conspiracy
I think Samsung wants all threads closed when talking about black crush/clipping on their displays perhaps they got to XDA? I read the thread since it started and found I have the clipping issue. I don't care to argue if the clipping issue exists I wish there was a dedicated thread to discuss solutions to this.

in a nutshell, the whitehouse agrees that the DRM ruling was never intended to prevent owners from unlocking their phone. Though no official change has occurred, it's a step in the direction to reverse the initial ruling.
here's the link:

Or those of us who don't have the exact same browsing history as him, since those were probably geo-based/cookie-based ads.
Thanks for the info, OP.

You're completely welcome for the update. I figured since the last thread on how it was illegal was such a big deal I figured I'd share a tidbit of information for those who don't normally read other tech news or other threads. You could have just left the thread to die like it was going to do instead of having such a huge stick planted so deeply that you felt so entitled to instead of saying nothing or a simple thanks you HAD to comment in such a jerkish manner.
Again you're welcome
MOD: please lock this thread as EVERYONE already knows that the FCC ruled that it should be legal.
Thanks...

Don't sweat it bro. Everybody wants to be a mod these days.
Oh and #2 poster forgot about those of us that use real browsers with AdBlock. I see none of the ads he indicated. Thanks for the post OP!

WRONG
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
1: not ads
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
2: I don't save history at ALL...don't have cookies enabled AT ALL
3: the stories shown on the side of the forums are updates AS THEY ARE POSTED ON THE PORTAL
4: most people don't pay attention to anything posted on the portal around here and because of that, there are always threads started with links to a story somewhere else that people could have seen the day before here on XDA if they were actually paying attention
5: AGAIN, those are NOT ADS......THOSE ARE STORIES FROM THE XDA PORTAL THAT ARE UPDATED AS THEY ARE POSTED. "geo-based"....lmfaoooo ....I love how many "experts" we have around here
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
6: I'm running an AD BLOCKER and if you actually looked at the screen shot I've posted, you would have realized that.
7: THOSE ARE NOT ADS, THOSE ARE STORIES FROM THE XDA PORTAL AND AD BLOCKERS DO NOT MAKE THEM GO AWAY
8: The funny thing is that MODS are going to see this thread and laugh at everyone here who is trying to attack me for being "wrong". I'm not here to hold hand with morons and tell them they are right. The reason why most of you people think you know more than you do is because you have idiots following you around all day listening to your crap and they don't have the common sense to tell you that you're WRONG.
I don't have a problem with idiots....I just have a problem with idiots having an internet connection.
This thread is no longer worth my time. Have fun trying to convince yourselves that you can find a way to prove my first post wrong.
And just in case you idiots didn't see the link I've posted to the "ad" (I still can't believe you think those are ads) on the portal...here it is again:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/
This STORY (not an ad) only has 16 comments. WHY? Because people don't even bother checking the portal for news and updates around here. Yet someone can post a link to the same content on a different site and people will go 5 pages deep in a thread around here. It just shows the problem XDA members have with actually using the sources on the site to find the information they need/want.
You people wonder why you have so many problems installing ROMS and finding things on XDA. You don't READ or pay attention to ANYTHING around here and this thread proves it. Go ahead, check my post history all you want. See how many post you find by me trying to get help with something around here. You will find that it hasn't happened much if at all because I actually READ AND PAY ATTENTION. You will also see that I never post anything that has already been posted on the portal because I READ AND PAY ATTENTION.
There's actually no need for this thread. As mentioned its in the portal. Also this law never really affected this device.... So it shouldn't be here anyways... Thread locked
