WiFi/BT repair/replace Non-USA - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I am one of the ones who is having the issue with WiFi/BT. I am in Australia. Based on Gary's note in the thread, I rang the local Asus customer support line.
The agent I spoke to was not aware that Asus is repairing/replacing Prime units. He said there was no repair or replacement program in place. He said he could give me a RMA number but I can only go back to the shop where I bought it and get a new unit except it also would be from the same C1 serial number batch that is being sold in Australia and so I would not necessarily be any better than just keeping my current unit.
He was also not aware that Gary or anyone from Asus are engaging the Prime user community via XDA.
What do I do now?

I would post this in the WiFi/BT thread .

You should have paid more attention, he specifically said that program was for North American customers only. Non NA customers will have to wait a bit longer.

Really? Have you even read his post? There is nothing about Non NA customers having to wait. Simply says contact your local service centre.

If you are in a region other than North America, please contact your local service team.

This may be the number to the repair center; however, they do not take calls! I called the number to see if they received my rma (ups confirmed it was delivered the morning of 3/8/12 and still showing a status of not received on the rma status) and they told me to call Asus directly at 888-678-3688.

You should contact asus to let tehm know that your tfp has been delivered but the repair centre has not booked it in yet as this is one way in which they might "meet" their turnaround times as if it is not on teh system teh clock has not started ticking!!
Mine was received 3/9 from Fedex and it hasn't been checked in either. I think in another thread someone said theirs was there a week before getting checked in.
@slef2003: Yeah, I called the tech support number and the guy in India says "You should have an update within 24 to 48 hours of the service center receiving it. However, if you do not receive an update within 24 to 48 hours, you should receive an update within 7-10 business days. If you don't receive an update in 7-10 business days, we will have to escalate the case." Translated: "I am in India and have no idea what goes on in Texas!"
Interesting, that place is only about 20 minutes from me, maybe I can drop by......
Finally! Just checked and the status is showing:
ASUS After-sale Repair Status Route is as below:
Product Received > (Waiting) > Repairing > Final Testing > Packing > Ready for Shipping > Repair Finished

You have to look farther down on the page to get your actual status.
Mine went from "Repairing" to "Waiting-[WB5] Wait for Repair\Test\Aging."

Hahahaha, you're right. I've personally talked with tech support claiming to be there. But for some reason, they all sound like they're in India to me. And talking to them is annoying for the fact that you always have the feeling they're reading canned responses instead of actually talking to you.
How would you like it if you're talking to me and instead of talking to you back I read out of a list of proper responses to you?
Did anyone ever get a useful number for the texas center? My tablet is currently them and listed as CID. I want to find out whats going on. Hope im not getting taken here, Ive been reading horror stories about RMA's.
CID = Customer Induced Damage.
Or as some would say: You dun goofed.
Ya I found out the CID thing from the asus help line. Which is helping me by telling me to wait for another phone call that hasnt come in 4 days lol.
I just want to dispute the CID status. I sent it in for a non functioning HDMI and the SD card slot not locking the card in. Other than that my tablet worked fine. Dont see how either of those issues could be CID. I hope Im not gonna regret sending it in.

They will try anything to get out of repairing for free. I received this answer from ASUS UK about my RMA/appeal against CID. My damage was caused by the dock like many others but I spotted it before it cracked fully.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625378
The replay reveals (if you read between the lines) that they will do anything to get out of the repairing under warranty and they (ASUS UK) have instructions (from ASUS Taiwan) to deny everything that is not software related. The USA repair center is likely to have the same instructions
Here is the reply.
"Dear Mr Lea
Thank you for contacting Asus UK.
We have been informed that you have received the CID quotation for RMA: CZB6****** which you are disputing.
Our apologies for the inconveniences caused to you.
Please be advised that the Asus warranty does not cover any damages at all.
The warranty given with the unit is a repair warranty for hardware issues only.
When repairs are requested and the issue is caused by software or damages charges are applied as this falls outside of the warranty.
Also note that the laws, rules and regulations of the UK are different to the US.
All Asus branches are seen as separate businesses and also have to follow the in country rules and laws which differ per country.
This also mean that some terms differ as well.
The RMA application form with SN: BCOKA****** which was received in on 24.05.2012, gives the following problem description:
“Micro crack in tf201 touchscreen caused by dock
Please refer to my previous emails info about the fault.
This is the second time I have requested this RMA, the first time I submitted an incorrect seriel number.
The correct seriel number is BCOKAS******
Please remove BCOKAS****** from my vip account as it does not exist”
The given problem description indicates that there is a crack in the screen.
As the damage was detected on the unit, charges for the repair were applied.
As per warranty, damages are not covered and we are unable to waive the costs for the repair at this stage.
Also the assessment is made by the repair centre after inspection.
Based on the instructions and information given by our head quarters in Taiwan, the repair was deemed as CID.
We have been notified that the damage cannot be caused without impact to the screen.
We are terribly sorry but there is nothing further we can do.
If you wish to file a formal complaint, please sent your complaint to the address below:
FAO Service manager
AsusTek U.K. LTD.
1st floor Hemel One
Boundary way
Hemel Hempstead
HP2 7YU"
Asus Service sucks,blows, hard and long.
My tablet is currently being held for ransom in the Czech republic,
Shame on ASUS.
I have since sent a formal complaint as instructed but this has been totally ignored (should have sent it recorded). I am still waiting for my tablet to be returned (unrepaired).
£500 for a tablet with more faults than the ATP tour and lie's, lie's and more lie's from ASUS.
I have my own inspection report by a Glass expert and law society expert witness that say's that there is no impact damage to the tablet and the crack was caused by the dock.
Next steps.
Ring ASUS and get my tablet back.

Thumbs up ASUS: Refund offered for GPS

Hello folks:
I received a replacement TF201 two weeks ago from ASUS after sending the original unit to them in mid-January for several issues. The replacement unit solved all of my initial concerns except for GPS - which is DOA unless WIFI is turned on. I decided to call ASUS today and see what they would say about the GPS issue now since more than a month has passed. ASUS has setup a new hotline in California for TF201 customers who have problems with GPS.
I spoke with Aaron a few minutes ago. He told me that the TF201 has an aGPS which means it must be connected to the internet to function properly. I clarified that my receipt indicates that the TF201 is indeed GPS and the products I looked at prior to purchase also stated GPS. At first, Aaron said there was nothing he could do to help me. I asked to speak with his supervisor and he changed his tune. He offered me a courtesy refund for the unit and any other accessories I purchased for it. A new RMA number has been issued to me and shipping is paid for. The refund will be issued when the unit arrives at the RMA facility.

Cool story bro.
Just kidding. This is how one should handle one's self when dealing with Customer Service. Yelling and *****ing and threatening won't work. Be polite, and only use the supervisor card as a last resort.
Good job getting a partial refund.

Good stuff thanks for # I was dealing with this same call center in CA Gary Key had them contact me # was a little different.
Anyone else have success getting a refund?
I got a full refund in the UK with Comet based on the GPS issue. I had a couple of dead pixels and a slight creak on the right hand side. I had it for a few weeks and then through calling Comet with the issue they offered me a full refund even though it was past the 7 days. They checked with Asus first and then allowed me to get the refund.

No way i'm giving that awesome tablet away ever again But great to see ASUS is doing this.
i'm curious what people think they could do if they had GPS instead of aGPS?
even if you had standard GPS which downloads GPS info from the satelites, its still useless with out an internet connection because everything that uses GPS needs internet to download map data.
the only thing that your GPS would be good for is a compass if you had GPS instead of aGPS.
now you could probably say that's not true and you would purchase and download an app that comes with downloadable maps that doesn't require internet connectivity but lets be honest, who uses anything besides google maps?
i'm glad you got a refund and went about it the calm and collected way (you get more bees with honey is the saying)
just boggles my mind how many people really think that they NEED GPS instead of aGPS. so many people honestly think that their device will give them map directions with out internet and only GPS connectivity (i'm not saying you think that)
it really sounds like a lot more people have buyers remorse and found a great loophole to get their money back or people that have to have the latest device and want an easy fast way out so they can get the next latest and greatest.
Asus SHOULD be giving money back if people demand it thats the proper thing to do since technically their box and documentation states GPS not aGPS.. i just wish more people wouldnt cry about GPS like that really made their experience that much worse than aGPS.
(hmm lets count how many times i said gps and agps lol)

Same Here. But ...
ASUS Corporate in California received my Prime on 2/24. Mine was shipped to ASUS Fedx overnight, paid by ASUS. I have a delivery receipt for it.
Called ASUS yesterday to find out where the refund check was because I was told that a check would be sent to me 3 days after ASUS received my Prime.
Well would you believe that the internal ASUS mail department never sent the package on to the person that the package was addressed to! The Prime spent three weeks in ASUS receiving. My contact at ASUS had to call the ASUS receiving department to find the package and have it sent to her. Yes this sounds like the other post about a "circus".
So hopefully on Monday, March 19th a check should be sent to me by overnight delivery.
I just hope that the ASUS shipping department isn't the same group as the ASUS receiving department.
(hmm lets count how many times i said gps and agps lol)[/QUOTE]
For the record, I haven't sent my Prime for refund... yet. I still may RMA once more to see if I can get GPS that locks on anything.

Well expect more delays because mine was processed and received and my refund was approved and passed on to accounting 3 weeks ago (confirmed by the In care of I sent the package to. TRINITY) and I still have yet to see my check that like you said was supposed to be sent within 3 days. I get a strange feeling I will never see my money back from Asus

Did you have to wait a long time to speak to Trinity? I've been waiting a week to talk to her.
Sent mine for RMA on 2/14 and my tablet sat there for 16 business, 23 calendar days (holiday included) with no movement from the waiting status. It was sent in for WiFi, GPS and the HDMI port mainly. The repair center is a joke and I could go on and on about the countless phone calls and the broken promises of someone will call you back or email you or your status should change in 24-48 hours. Yeah right, never happened once. It took them a week just to show it on their repair status inquiry site.
I PMed Gary and he put a Customer Care manager on it and while that was beginning the repair center agreed to send my prime back to me (took an additional 7 days just to do that) as I said I would rather have it back then to wait until whenever they get parts or replacement units. I am very happy to have it back. It's the same as when I sent it in but I have control of the situation once again. When they sort out what the heck their doing to repair these things I'll deal with it then.
All I can say now is how nice it was to receive the call from Trinity saying she is personally handling my case and whatever decision I make for repair, replacement or full refund for tablet, dock and any accessories she will make it happen. Gary certainly put the right people on it for me and has turned around a very difficult, (saying it nicely) situation with the service center to one of recommending again (can't believe I'm saying that) based solely on my opinion that 50% of the service center people seem to care and 100% of the 501 area code people I've spoken with are just awesome. I think 501 area code is Arkansas but anyways, can't say it any better for them. I'll be making my decision Monday but seeing how they will send the tablet to me first, with a credit card for security, and they'll open it up and check it out before sending, it should be an easy decision for the replacement unit. Just have to get over the GPS.

ASUS give me back my Transformer!!!

Hey XDA friends
(i posted this on reddit an hour ago, but i think it will be read by more people here)
I have to let some steam off today...
TL;DR: worst customer support i have ever experienced!
Long story:
23.11.2011 ordered my prime via amazon 16.01.2012 received my wonderful Prime
in the first week the scratch resistant gorilla glass started to come off the bezel and lcd, on the top of the tablet. clearly being a manufacturing issue because the "glue-strip" holding it together was displaced on the top and on the side.
1.Feb: Contacting Amazon, they propose to send it directly to asus for faster repairing 1.Feb: ordering Asus Pick-up service 2.Feb: UPS fetches the package
so far so good. now the fun part starts:
7.Feb: checking online for repair-status. It sais: "Waiting for customer reply OOW-CID" (i had not received any mail or call) I called ASUS asking whats happening. They told me that i should have received a mail from the technician with an estimation of the costs. And it will be best to talk to him for any details regarding warranty issues. He will tell the technician to contact me again.
8.Feb.: writing an email to Asus customer support, explaining the issue and why it is not OOW CID (out of warranty, customer induced damage)
9.Feb: Support writes back: there will be an investigation, and in a few days they will make the desicion.
10.Feb.: i get a mail from the technician with the estimate of costs (95€ if i do nothing and have it sent back to me, 260€ to change the lcd) it was obvious the technician had not yet received the investigation mails from customer support
15.Feb: i send a copy of all my support mails to the technician explaining what is happening.
20.Feb: again mail to customer support that this is unacceptable and i will contact the Consumer Protection Board.
20.Feb: he answers: he hasn't heard back yet, and asks for more time.
23.Feb: 2 registered Letters (Amazon, Asus) telling them that they have 2 weeks for a satisfactory statement regarding this issue, until then the Consumer Protection Board will be informed.
29.Feb: Support supervisor writes to me that my Prime will be repaired free of charge. (warranty) the repair info site tells me "final testing"
2.Mar: the repair info site tells me: waiting for customer reply OOW-CID i write mail to the support supervisor.
2.Mar: he tells me i have to do nothing, they are waiting for a replacement part.
11.Mar: i mail him again asking for an update and if there is an estimate when i can get my tablet back. And that if they can't tell me when, maybe they shoult think about replacing the whole prime and send me a replacement.
It seems that the Transformer 700 series are out solving all Prime issues at the same Price. And i invested in a highend tablet in November not beeing able to no even touch it for more than one week!
Its now the 15.Mar. with no email or phone contact. WTF i just want to live in peace!
Maybe i can post this somewhere else where it has more impact ^
P.S.: If Asus reads this, please don't hesitate to contact me...
My only question would be, why did you send it off for repair in the first week of ownership as opposed to getting a replacement or refund?
At first i was contacting amazon.
They told me that they can't guarantee me a replacement item in the next months due to empty stocks etc. And suggested to send it in to Asus directly....
thats why
I received my Prime around the same time from Amazon. Had I needed service on it I probably still would've sent it back to them for a replacement, since they had more in stock and ready for shipping by the end of Jan.
It's all moot now...hope it comes back to you soon and properly working.
I will remember to opt for a slightly longer wait and full replacement / refund as opposed to "repairing" it. I'm often impatient with such things, so would have done the same you did and been even more screwed.
Its pathetic, you have purchased a device you can't use and its not your fault - its Asus' fault.
Hope you get it all sorted soon! I would be dieing waiting to get my tab back.

IMO this is categorically unacceptable. If this were MY employees fouling up my company's reputation like this someone would get a 1 month vacation w/o pay just as fast as I could find out who's responsible for this charlie foxtrot.
Unreal. One horror story after another. This whole thing has been a mess from the start. (not your situation, but everything involving the TP) I don't think I will be buying another ASUS product. Certainly not within the first 6 months of release...
Thanks for all the kind words!

While no company gets it right 100% of the time, we are seeing some re-occuring themes in both the inconsistency of getting accurate information and the time taken to do actual repairs. You do tend to learn most about a company when something goes wrong. It seems pretty clear that the experience with Asus is pretty variable. It also seems to vary significantly from country to country. When I got my transformer repaired last year (for a faulty right speaker) I did have a pretty positive experience other than a minor lack of communication whereby Asus didn't pass on the delivery address to the courier company when they came to pick up the tablet (which delayed things by a day). The OP certainly hasn't been treated in a way that is consistent with their brand promise for 'persistent perfection'. They can't turn the clock back, but they can show they're learning. Many of the quality control issues that affected the original transformer was repeated with the Prime. So they better get it right with the future Pad 300, PadFone and Infinity models
However, regarding the transformer 700 (Transformer Pad Infinity). We've only seen the prototype that was shown off at CES, so we only know what is supposed to be fixed. Certainly, I can imagine in light of the issues with weak/more directional wi-fi and the ability of GPS that Asus would given these a lot more scrutiny. But who's to say at this point what issues (quality control related or otherwise) that the Infinity model is going to have. According to Asus on their UK facebook page, it won't be out until June at the earliest. Realistically, based on the availability of the original transformer and now the Prime that probably means July/August for actual physical stock. Also, based on what we know at this point, it won't be the same price as the Prime; there's $100 premium.

Dont they only have 30 days to repair otherwise they HAVE to send a new one? I think it is part of their warranty.
OP: Out of curiosity... you didn't happen to send the unit in for repair in their Jeffersonville, IN facility did you?
I've had a few 'experiences' with that facility, and my suggestion to most people, is if they tell you to ship it to that facility, demand it be shipped to another. (keep escalating it if need be) The other repair facilities I've encountered zero problems in... Jeffersonville, on the other hand, seem to hire the Geek Squad rejects.
Upside is that from what I've gathered, Jeffersonville seems to be a 3rd party repair facility for ASUS... so while I blame them for keeping them employed, I don't blame ASUS's techs.

Online petition: Coutries excluded from GPS Dongle

Hello all.
We all know that ASUS is shipping a dongle to fix GPS performances on Transformer Primes. Unfortunately, some countries were left out from this decision, that to me and other users seems just unfair.
We all spent our moneys (and not just two cents) to get our Primes; hence, ASUS should treat us the same not discriminating us by our nationality.
So, I'm opening this thread to gather all users that feels frustrated by this decision (that every ASUS national department takes on its own) to organize, sign a spread an online petition directed to ASUS Global and every single ASUS National department in order to make them review their decision. My idea is to write a letter in english, plus every language that will be involved in the petition. I can write the Italian one and contribute to the English one, but for other languages (Greek, Icelandic and others if present) I will need help.
So, is anyone with me?
When the prime got available to the excluded countries, Asus had already removed the GPS function of the spec sheet of the prime.
Therefore, the excluded countries have prime's 'without' GPS.
Other countries who's getting the dongle had GPS on the spec sheet on release date.

Not true. Many countries (European for sure) are getting the dongle even if the Prime was sold only with the GPS already removed. Moreover, many bought on preorder before the GPS was removed. Plus, the GPS was removed but we paid the same price of a unit with the GPS still declared, so our money should have the same value.
Did you see the post with the 2011 email addresses of the asus public relations staff - one @asus.it and the other @asus.com http://milandesignweek2011.asus.com/archives/. They could still be live

Thanks for the info, didn't know that.
But yes, agree, every country should get the dongle.
They agree with you I agree to the petition.
On the Gps dongle application page Asus states the following:
Although the TF201 is not a professional GPS device, as part of our unwavering commitment to our customers we are offering all customers who purchased a TF201 system a free external GPS extension kit, called a dongle, which may help improve signal reception and optimize the user experience.
So we should go for the petiton ,very good idea as it states all customers!
I am here too. I hate the fact that they do not respect us.
Besides i bought mine on Amazon UK in January!!! Why would UK customers get it and not me?
Well this is racism to me because i am Greek and disrespect to me as a customer!
SHAME!
Which countries aren't getting it?

While Asus' stance on which countries and exactly how it's determined does seem rather arbitrary, your criticism seems unfounded. In your case, it doesn't have anything to do with where you're located other than you're outside the country you purchased it from. As I understand it, your tablet is eligible for the GPS dongle, except that you would have to supply a UK address. Surely no different than if I bought something from a Greek retailer where I wouldn't automatically expect them to deliver anywhere else other than within their own country. Perhaps you can find someone to forward it onto you in Greece or alternatively make use of a UK dropship resource such My UK Mail.

i bought prime because i saw that they decided to fix gps issue with this extension.. And then this... Greek user here.. Very disappointed!

This will be my next option if they decide not to ship it in Italy. But I hope that, when my request will be reject, I can reapply with a different address.
They dont have a concrete list of coutries (sic) on the web page. Does not mean they are not offering it. More likely a programming mistake.
My Prime was purchased in the Netherlands, and I am being offered the kit here in South Africa.
Similar story here!!!
Just bought mine (2 weeks ago) regularly in store for European $$$ of money
Live in Macedonia and obviously not in the list, too
I've wanted to ask if there's a solution to "trick them" and order it from Toronto-Canada
Have some relatives there so they can bring it in a month or so !?

GOOD NEWS!!!!
They called me from Asus four days ago, saying that my dongle will arrive soon here in GREECE!!!
My status had changed one day earlier to "being processed".
Asus did'nt forget us poor relatives after all!
Thanks ASUS! No less would be accepted from this company.

Any news on the class action suit ?

This was filed in febuary,
http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/02/13/ColinvASUS.pdf
It's a class action suit against Asus regarding the tf-201's problems that we have with it's GPS and wi-fi etc..., but it's for U.S. residents.
Last winter, Asus customers in the U.K were offered refunds for their tf-201.
A few lucky owners who bought their primes from bestbuy, staples, amazon and and other major retailers got a lucky break, and were able to get a refund, or an exchange for their primes. But it seems that these stores that gave these refunds or exchanges gave them out of good business practice and had to absorb the full loss, Asus not authorizing those refunds or exchanges.
Realisticly, you cannot expect you local computer store to be able to do the same, these guys work on a 5% to 15% margin maximum.
Here's my personnal experience ; since laste decembre, like most of you, my tablet has never worked really well, especially the GPS wich has never worked at all.
I called the service dept. twice in the first few months I had the tablet to complain about it, they did not offer an RMA, they told me to wait for the ICS update, it would fix everything.....wich it did not like we all know.
Then, up to now, my tablet has been in their service center 2 times to fix the GPS, the weak wi-fi, and a loose power connector....just about everything has been changed in the tablet....the list of parts is astounding. And stil, absolutely no GPS, and no improvement on the wi-fi,( i'm on my 6th different wireless router now !, rewired my modem so I could install the router centrally in the house, got a netgear 6300 )
Before the last RMA,, I talked to a supervisor in California, spent 30 minutes on the phone with him explaining the problems, asking him what other solutions the service center was planning to offer after changing every component in the tablet and even installing ' foil ' on the antennas on the last RMA ?...... demanding that this time they either replaced the tablet with a new one ( mine must have a design flaw ), exchange it with a different model, or refund like Asus did in the U.K......his answer....we wil give you another RMA.................It was like talking to a robot,,,this guy was a supervisor ?
And the icing on the cake came with the email giving me the RMA number........ASUS - North America (NA) is a warranty service center only. Please contact place of purchase for credit, refunds, upgrades / model changes, or new retail box replacement. ASUS does not provide these services under any circumstances..
Ok, so I contact my reseller with a copy of this email...he responds very politely with a copy of his contract with Asus of north america wich states very precisely that Asus is responsable only for warranty services.......but what does waranty cover ?....is a non functionning device broken or badly designed? and how do you resolve the problem then ?
On another note, I must add that on the last occasion, I explained to the supervisor that I am a small business owner...computer reseller. In the last 11 years, I have bought and sold to my clients about 1 400 000$ worth of Asus products. That I was extremely disapointed in the way they were inable to resolve this simple issue, and considering in the future stopping completely buying any of their products for any of my clients, even the ones that requested their brand, considering the fact that the after sale service was inadequate.
Well, yes, I guess you could call it an attempt at a special treatment......but that did not in any way unphase the supervisor.....just gave me anothe RMA number like the good robot he was programmed to be.
So, on a personnal level, I live in Canada, and we have consummer laws that apply to protect consummers against corporate giants like that.
It's called the small claims court. It takes a while, but you can file claims up to 7000$
My tablet is in the service center again.......for the third and final time
If it comes back again with ti's GPS not working, I will follow what our legislature reccomends and send a demand letter with a 10 day delay to give Asus a final occasion to make amends, giving them a choice of either exchanging / refunding / replacing with another model.
After that delay, if no solution is reached, I will file my suit with the Quebec small claims court......it's gonna take a while to have a court date, but that's ok, I'm in no hurry.
I just don't get how Asus figures it's cheaper to spend that much on replacing parts , paying for deliveries, paying to send lawers in Quebec.....it must add up at some point ? is it just me, but it would have been a lot cheaper to just exchage the damn thing ?.....
Anyways, i'll keep you posted on how it goes, maybe it's gonna be a while !
I agree with you about poor quality in wifi, gps, nand and whatever... But I live in Italy and no one of our sellers (neither in other Europen country, as far as I know) has never talk about or agreed with costumers about refund or change with other working product. We had only to fight with asus assistance service that, sometimes, in really unusefull. Unless in Europe, gps issue was well know before comercialization, infact gps feature wasn't even mentioned so we cannot complain about this... Honeslty I didn't bought this tablet to use it like a pnd
But wifi, speed of nand, virtual keybord, are relly awfull....sometimes far from cheaper tablets sold by other manifacturer...or by the same Asus!
Now I'm tryimg to make understand to some dumb guy of asus assistance that I could not upgrade to latest firmware because my tablet don't show serial number anymore...and I haven't erase by mistake. It came back from Asus service without s/n, where I sent in rma 2 month ago. The only answer I had is that I have the last firmware..and this is obviously false!
Here none talk about a class action against Asus, but I hope you Canadian could be more lucky in your fight against Asus, that onceI considered one of the best brands
Well, here in Canada, when it came out, it was clearly advertised with GPS feature. And while I agree with you, even if did not buy it only for that feature, i expect it to work when needed........compare that to the air conditiining in my car, even if i dont use it during the 6 months if winter, when summer comes, and its 100 degrees outside, i expect it not to blow hot air.......and thats exactly what the GPS is so far.....a whole lot of hot air, and nothing else !

WOW! Earth shattering stuff!! How has nobody submitted this as a news tip?
Asus already gave out free GPS dongles to everyone who has purchased the Prime before and even a bit after the GPS feature advertisement was removed. The Wi-Fi is weak but it works fine. Let it go already.

If you buy a car that has not air conditioned at all, or has a not working air conditioned and you know this before buying that car, than you can't complain with seller if you need in summer but it don't work.
But this, according to me, is not the worst issue in tf201...even if is not a good advertisement for asus and this tablet.
The worst are features that should have to work perfectly, wifi above all.
asus just doesn't give a damn about the customers,
we bought their $500 POS and pretty much they're going f-off now
i given up with the GPS and wifi issue
but my camera has been RMA twice for the same problem (green lines)
now it has happened again, clearly ASUS is doing something wrong and should fix the problem instead of patching it... so it'll break again down the road....
i emailed them all they did was offer RMA
after i explained to them that RMA is clearly not fixing the problem permanently, they ignored my emails since then
posted on their FB, they replied me going "we're sorry that you're unhappy about our product, is there anything i can help you with" i explain it to them, and they ignored me there
like wth is this service? -_-

It works fine meaning that you turn it on and it works if you are in a good range of your router. It gets weak when you move far away from it, but Asus never advertised their tablet to have the greatest WiFi strength. Does it make the Prime a bad tablet? Probably, but there is no legal case here, unlike the GPS which simply just didn't work to any acceptable degree, which Asus remedied with the dongle.

in spite of the fact I read and understood your entire post, it really didnt deserve 2 seconds. Its another crying the blues because you were not smart enough to return a product you found defective in the return window offered by your retail establishment. This is xda not asus north america. Nobody here should give a damn about product warranty as we should be here to void the warranty. Unfortunately somebody told people like you where a forum named transformer prime exists. stupid google. Not going to get into the reasons for it but YOU SHOULD HAVE RETURNED IT WHEN YOU FIRST DISCOVERED IT DIDNT MEET YOUR NEEDS. That being said if you want a gps dongle I dont really need mine for anything but testing if it works on a rom. PM me and I will mail you mine at my own expense if you promise not to post another waste of space complaint thread. It works very well

Apparently you do not understand the title of this website. Developers do things that void warranties in order to bring out the best in the item they are working with. your comments belong here http://www.facebook.com/IHateAsusComputers with other non doing complainers. by the way 2 r's in warranty and no i's in wasted.
