Well, I'm feeling a little silly right now, because I did a search and couldn't find anyone else having this problem--so maybe it's just me....
I just bought my Transformer Prime and dock, and am excited about using the two together. However, I'm finding it impossible to join the two.
The instructions say to "insert the eee Pad into the socket until it snaps into place." Well, it doesn't snap; it just sits there precariously, refusing to go in. The instructions also say to "Ensure that the latch completely moves to the right." Is the latch supposed to be moved manually before inserting the tablet, or does "snapping it in place" move the latch automatically? (I tried moving it manually, and was not able to.)
My wife, who is much better at this kind of thing than I, has tried as well, without success.
Are we doing something wrong, or did I buy defective equipment?
Thanks in advance!

It interesting you mentioned this,here is my Docking story. I had got my Prime from a BB store that was 75 miles from my home one week but they didn't have the Dock at that time. When the Dock came available at this BB I drove back and purchased the Dock. I had my Prime with me in my Car and I decided I would try the Dock before I left to go back home. Well I sat in the Car read the little insert that came with the Dock and tired and tired to get the Prime to go into the Dock but it wouldn't go. I looked and saw the "black inserts" on my Prime where the Dock went and though I thought they should be removed I couldn't get them out easily so I then thought well maybe they should stay in place and somehow they just "folded in and out" as needed. So not wanting to screw up my Prime I go back into BB with Dock and Prime go to Geek Squad feeling DUMB than I had to do this and ask them how this worked? Well they have 5 guys look at it and apparently I must have been the 1st person to get a Dock for a Prime at this BB because they had NO CLUE if the inserts should be removed. After about 10 minutes of this I told them I have a XDA account let me log on to your WiFi and let me ask at the forum about this problem. I do that after about a minute I get answer about needing to remove the inserts. They then grab a tool and remove them and the Prime pops right in place. Moral of the story: XDA knows more than "Geek Squad"

I have access to a fabricator and could probably come up with a high-quality plastic back cover. I don't want to waste my time or yours if people aren't interested. Assume somewhere between $50-75 uninstalled and about $15 if you want to send it in and have a done by a h/w engineer (yes, I have access to those too). The more people order the cheaper they would be - the $'s above are based on about 100 people.
Some questions:
1) What color should the back be and why?
2) Should the back have matching metal ornamentation so it looks cool with the dock? This would be more $'s
3) Do you think the majority would DIY or want it done by a tech?
Can't promise anything but I'd certainly look in to it if there's enough demand.
If confirmation occurs, count me in.
if asus don't come up with a fix and it came to this (which i don't think it will) i would definitely want a clear back. would looks so awesome

You actually made me think of something. Maybe the whole back doesn't need to be replaced. Perhaps just a fairly large cut out with a plastic insert. I guess it depends how much clearance there is between the back and the components and where the antennas are located. I don't know how feasible it is to try and cut aluminium but I'll ask.
I'd be in provided it's confirmed that fixes the issue. Clear would be slick, but I'm not picky.
I would definitely be interested in this. You could make an entire market out of this. "Custom Transformer Backs." I'm still interested to see whether ASUS will handle this on their own however. If they don't, I doubt you'll have many customers with Transformer Primes in order to sell them.

But a full back replacement would be better if folks ever have to return prime for future issues? Could just put the old back on before returning
What if you just cut a round circle out of the back of the aluminum where the Asus logo is and install some plastic cover with an Asus logo on it. I think this could be a DIY, type of thing. Seller ships instructions on how to take backplate off, a template of where exactly to cut out and then have a plastic piece to install it. Or make it simple, and and replace the whole back plate.
If you can make it! Please make it right!! I'm willing to pay $75 if you can make it fiberglass (Gray) as bugatti car

to the best of my knowledge, the antennas are just to the left and right of the FRONT-FACING camera. Yes, front-facing. This is how wifi is even able to work.
I don't know where the GPS antenna is located.

bottom right if im not mistaken saw it on the transformer tear down but im just not in for this too risky to do this to my device, great idea hope it works out for you but just not for me unless it was a clear backing and we threw some LEDS on the side like some red ones then we have a clear back the glows red that i would pay like 100 for
I'm in for $75
Demonstrate that plastic improves receptivity, make it clear, emboss it with XDA so it's a collector's item (like my 2 OG Droids), and I'm in.
Get Samsung to sell it, and I'll give you $100. ;-)
I was thinking like a flat black, but a clear back would look pretty sweet too. Once a Guinea pig or two tried it out, posted pics & real world experience, I might be game

this is actually what they did on the iPad I think. the apple logo on the back is a window for the wifi signal.

gps test in the market
Well I might be the first to have let my prime fall. Teetered off a stack of towels and fell to the rug about two feet down. Was playing music, and it instantly stopped. Now I can't get it to turn on. Not sure what to do. Plugged it into the charger and the led on the power button lights up, but I was at >90 battery.
If I hold the power button for 10 seconds the unit vibrates once, but no display. Then about 30 seconds later I get a small ding and a screen lock sound.
Any thoughts?

It sounds like Asus made the device so horribly that even a 2 feet drop onto carpet will ruin it...
They probably used sticky rice to hold the internals together. Woot go ASUS! I really hope they get into some trouble over this tablet.
if it doesn't look damaged from the outside from fall, just return and exchange it. we won't say anything
was it inside a case? did it fall on its back, flat on its face, or on a corner? strange how such a short fall on carpet did that. I'd return it asap. should be easy to exchange. especially if it doesn't look like you yourself damaged it.

Seems like you broke the LCD the prime itself is on you just don't have picture I would say let it sit a day and good luck
If you have a micro HDMI cable and a TV, you could try hooking it up to check if the device is turning on and if the problem is only with the screen itself.

don't go through all that and void warranty. cuz if you open it up and can't fix it, they will know. then they will accuse you of being the one that broke it n you be outback.

I doubt if he, Jdbaker, really did open it up. he produced no pics or videos of that claim. he just said that to try to make more people believe his theory. just like he said Asus Engineers called him personally to confirm his theories. after he also told engineers he opened up the back himself. sounds like some Major B.s. to me..lol of he really did do that he would've made sure to take pix to back up his claim. I know I would have.
it started cracking (from what i noticed) like, last week
yesterday, it's totally broken off
anyone else have a DIY fix? superglue i'm thinking
****sux because i had the touchpad inside the official case day 1 AND it doesnt get moved around often nor does it see heavy usage
i have a theory that the case actually helps increase the chances of the cracks because any vibration/pressure is transmitted somewhat equally around the touchpad so even if the speaker side was not touched, any other force small or big goes speaker side and will eventually crack
Why don't u contact HP Support? They will replace the case!
I have the same problem that you are having. I have my touchpad for about a week or so and it cracked between both speakers it really sucks. So what I did was used super glue to fix the problem it might not look the best it works for now. Its nice to find out that its just not me having these problems but it really sucks.
Sent from my GT-i9100 using xda premium
ya I know about the customer support replace, just wanted to get opinions on superglue approach before then because I'm sorta scared that my touchpad will get replace with a diff one or the screen gets scratched etc
if the super glue works I'll just do that
Don't do the superglue, I really regret doing it myself, it's not clear and is very ugly, i need to find a way to get it off before i can send it in.
I'm thinking of getting mine repaired and then getting it wrapped in ghost armor.
The armor works great...

I didnt have "Cracks" but I have the ripple effect on the small plastic part like it was going to crack.
wondering about the superglue method myself (i have cracks on both speakers). does it melt the plastic cover?
I have cracks on my TP as well. It's a hardware defect, much like the original Pre / usb door cracks. The plus side is that it will never spread to the screen, and it does not affect the performance (or looks if it's in a case).
I don't recommend sending it back for "repair" ... it's not worth it and you don't know if you'll get it back.
It works.
I just noticed cracks as well. I'm going to check out that ghost armor. Looks neat.
Sent from my Touchpad using xda premium
well the cracks around the speakers is cosmetic. Contact HP Support they will replace the casing.
I had the same issue with my TP. The customer support was good. They sent me a return box and label. All you have to do is to pack your TP as per instructions and drop it at nearby UPS store. I received the repaired TP within a week.
Act fast before the warranty expires.
I just noticed a crack in mine. Called them and they are sending a box out. It's covered for a year they said.
10 have it back. I'm sad but will be happy to get new one and will have armor case ready and waiting for it.

Yea. HP is going to get my tablet back in a few days. I have to go drop it off. I wonder if they've fixed the problem and the new ones don't do it. I sure hope so.
I have dropped mine and its cracked on the corner and some of the plastic has come away. Does anyone know if replacement covers are available while searching about this? Cant seem to find one.
My TP has now developed a crack near the speakers! Spoke to HP who said there was a batch of TP`s who had a "bad" batch of plastic and the new plastic they use is better and should not crack!!
I have to send photo`s of the crack to their Argentinian office and then the TP gets sent from the UK to Hungary for repair (through UPS)
Hungary?? I think that is the first time I have read the word "Hungary" anywhere in months (do not spend a lot of time looking at maps of Eastern Europe).

I accidentally did just that last week.
I was thinking of getting one anyway, but I won't use it nearly as much as the USB adapter.
to be honest, i saw about 4 of them for $20 at my local bestbuy next to the og transformer. i didnt buy one because i have the dock
I guess I was late. -_-
I think someone on here very early on said that it was not compatible with the prime. Do a search and see.

It's works with Prime. The only bad thing is its design is for the TF101, seems the contact that is supposed to go in to prime is to short.
So it is very loose. I feel like that prime port will break if you for example have a usb cable connected to the adapter while holding Prime. You have to have prime lying on the table so the adapter is supported and does not come off.
Asus really should make a new adapter that made for Prime. hope more people see the problem and make Asus know about the problem.

Feel the same as you. Sits loose and feels like it will bend/brake the port on prime when you connect something. Can't understand why they didn't add mini/micro usb port when they not have plan to release proper accessories.
Think it's a big failure from Asus that not have accessories that fits good.. instead we have to use the same accessories from the first transformer TF101. All Android feels like beta products that the user have to find out own solution and ways to get things to work.
Love Android but start the get little sick that every device that is released feels like a test unit.
Hate to say it. But Apple plays in a different league because everything just works and feels solid. And have adapters that are made for the device.
rant...feel free to skip
A) Though apple does definitively make a good device lets not get to preachy...lol but they have stuck with the same port for all devices and the lashing that they would receive if one did not fit properly would be terrible
B) I also wish that they would make a new usb kit but to me, though this is my first tablet so I may be entirely accurate, it seems that the usb kit for the tf101 wasn't very popular either, I also wish that Asus's "store" actually had the accessories that they make for their devices, I would prefer to just order from manufacturer on some of the accessories but instead am forced to scour the web to find a store that actually sells them and has them in stock
Sorry for the rant but even though I love my Prime, Asus continually disappoints me
Took a knife and cut / scraped off some plastic on the side of the adapter to the front / screen. This makes the plug can be pushed further in Prime so it fits a little better. Was better but not really good. What is missing is support for the connector on the back of the prime. I assumes that the design had to go before the functionality when they designed this tablet.
Edit: no need to cut. the smal part can be taken off.

After a long process of checking the forums and reading on the numerous ways to add a car dock/mount for the asus tf101, i took it upon myself to revert back to custom install days. What i did was purchase a Car Kit Swivel Air Vent with Super Strong Slim Holder for Asus Eee Transformer TF101 from ultimate-mobiles.co.uk. I didn't want to mount the vent adapter so i cut holes on the side of the dash and placed the tablet hold portion into the dash. What i used was a filing kit, a hand saw, a razor, a screwdriver, and some cotter pins. about 4 hours i had a finished product. Its not perfect but im sure you can tell from the photos.
I can slide the tablet in and out securely with no problem. the left side i had to cut the tab off next to the volume button. This wasn't the best dock cause it was made for the vertical position. I should have order this dock, Strong Windscreen Suction Mount Holder for Asus Eee Transformer TF101, which was made for the horizontal position. But in the end it still worked out like i wanted it to. Oh and by the way the dash pieces i used where extras, i went to a junk yard and found another mustang and took those piece for $5. Sorry for no hyperlinks but im restricted cause of less then 10 post.
Finally here are the pictures.

Nice job on this DIY setup, i just wussed out and bought one of those flexible neck seatbolt mounts, and it wobbles like a mofo.
Nice...

ultimate-mobiles.co.uk this is the website. i cant post links yet.
Thanks.
That's nice. I just got the ExoGear mount. Not my favorite setup but it will work for now in my escape.
Hoping to get an F150 one of these days and then I'll look into mounting it into the dash somehow.
Again, nice work though. Minimal is best!

I still have to have the stock radio to use the aux output. i haven't found a way or attempted to look for a way to hookup the aux output without having the radio installed. im sure there's a way and ill try it later.

Are you familiar with the site mp3car.com? Check out their forums. Maybe there is a solution on that site that can help you out.

You might be able to run a line from the headphone jack to an amp hidden in the dash, but that might not look so good. Might not sound so good, either, if the TF doesn't put out enough to drive the amp. Is there room behind the dash to hide a small head unit with bluetooth?
Looks pretty good as it is really. What are you using for power? I was looking for a car charger for the TF for a while but gave up after nothing really worked. That was a long time ago though.
Same idea here :highfive:
