So, what is *the* most fun thing to do on the prime?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
Nothing now, I had to turn my Prime over to the wife as hers is going back to ASUS for a RMA;(.........
It's gotta be plugging my prime into the third party chassis that turns it into a great multitrack recorder with options for dynamic and condensor microphones, multiple instrument inputs and amp and stompbox models.
Oh, wait...no...
It's playing "Order and Chaos"
Oh, wait...no...
It's loading up the textbooks and presentations that I need for my nursing degree and highlighting, annotating and printin....
Oh, wait...no...
It's got to be the panorama mode on the camera - that is actually pretty cool.
and I enjoy Crackle, Onlive Desk for access to Office 2010, Mint for personal financials and square for taking credit card payments.
Hmm. it's true I do like those but they are not my favorite - really good uses though.
Ah! here we go -
Sketchbook Pro except for the wobbly diagonal lines is truly excellent.
Osmosis HD is addictive and beautiful.
Quell Reflect is nearly as addictive and beautiful.
Photoshop Touch is excellent.
Shadowgun THD is pretty sweet.

I agree. In the multiple forums on XDA this is the only one I have been in that has a ton of non and ex owners just hanging around in it that aren't even developers on the device. Seriously, wtf!
Oh, my favorite thing to do with it is kick back on the couch and browse xda

Back on Topic,
Splashtop THD for sure at home and work,
Galaxy on Fire 2....(have always loved that game) now on the big screen
The look after setting up Hubs...
The sheer speed of my device....
The jealousy in my ipad loving co-workers eye's when they see me remove the prime from the keyboard doc.
The complete discussed look my icrap loving coworkers face when they find out how much storage I have on my prime......
Exploring all the features for the first time, just got her today, had to search half the bay area. No one has them in stock, best buy said a month before they can even special order them. Loving it so far.

Starting scummvm and playing day of the tentacle, a game when played for the first time almost brought my pc to it's knees and now I can play it on a freaking tablet...
Reading magazines for less money then it would cost me to buy them as the paper version.
Instead of going through 3 1000+ pages of manuals on the job to find the exact working of one button or procedure, I click search in a PDF reader..
Bottom line, a/my tablet does not replace anything but makes life more simple/enjoyable.

Lol you call me an Apple fanboy if you guys don't remember I got you the unlocked bootloader!
I would never own an apple product! I just don't like asus with their ****ty quality control and terrible launch!
And would you like pictures if the check charger and mouse seriously dude....
And honestly I miss my prime but the quality and lies from asus are just not okay... So what I ripped them off they ripped Alot of people off with the prime many returned to stores had to pay return shipping etc...
Why can't I still be here who says I won't get another asus tablet the 300 or 700 maybe idk but I sure won't buy it for a good month after launch!

Oh yeah! I just started Final Fantasy IX Somehow i never played that one. Its just great you can even plug it into your TV and play from the couch like a regular console with my BT gamepad. This thing has so much potential^^
And you gotta love the look on peoples faces when you take out the prime in the dock. They look at it - "hm macbook air..? ... no. Ah its gotta be one of those netbooks!"
But then you rip off the screen and they go WTF!? <3
Honestly you guys show no appreciation for the person who got you the unlocked bootloader! Just because I returned it and had fun ripping off asus...
He did ask the most fun thing to do on the prime... I was not the first to say return it I just elaborated opentoe said return it also

pish posh silly toosh, i like this idea, so go cry else wear, if you don't like it then don't look at it.
we have people all over the place discussing how hyped they are and it would be best to get all the hyped centered in one place.
hahaha, When I saw "your hype level" I coulda swore it was gonna say "it's over 9000".
I honestly have learned to stop expecting it, so it becomes a surprise when it does ship

Same here. Even if Prime is my first tablet, it does not offer me much beyond my Galaxy Nexus.
I am pretty hyped up about it. It's my 2nd tablet. I also own iPad 2. While it's great, iOS is severely limiting what I can do. I am not selling iPad 2, due to me using ForeFlight for my flight training. Once that is out for Android, I will drop it like a bad habit.

Wow, dude. Can you chill out? The device isn't even out yet, what else is there to do? Plus how does this thread affect you (other than obviously pissing you off)? If you see a thread you don't like: Take a deep breath, don't click on it, carry on doing whatever you were doing before you saw the thread.
No matter what negative rumors people post, I stay Hyped for this device!
YEAHHHHH BOYYYYYYYY! [In my Flavor Flav voice]
My iPad gets more n more worried as we get closer to the release on the 19th. She thinks ima leave her high n dry..lol. It has performed so well for me so well being jail broken n modded. Prime horsepower n Android will be a sick experience.
It's not a couple of delay rumors (even if I was the one to post them... Haha stupid NCIX) that'll stop me from getting this device! I want this thing so bad, and if it wasn't the case I probably wouldn't be here ALL THE DAMN TIME.
Even if the idea of getting something else crosses my mind, I just can't push myself to get a device that I KNOW is inferior to the Prime. Oh and I have an HDMI micro coming in from Ebay that I'll be using to connect the Prime to my new TV... it'd be a waste of 5$ if I got another device that didn't support HDMI micro out

It was sky high earlier when I had it on pre-order and I thought I'd be getting the tablet in mid December.
It's pretty low now that my pre-order has been cancelled and I have no chance of getting the tablet until January or later. Right now I'm looking at other tablets maybe coming early next year. Might still get the Transformer Prime, but no longer hyped about it.
I'm looking forward to it as well But it comes when it comes. I have a wedding to plan with my fiancee so i've got stuff that keeps me occupied
Anyway it will come out mid january in my country so i have to wait another month anyway. I just hope the world wont get down in 2012 so i can enjoy my Transformer Prime long enough^^

well theres only one down side to that... your WAAAY to invested now, you have to get it.
I mean, you couldn't just THROW away your hdmi cable!
your screwed bro lol
So I started at a hype level of 11 until all the rumors came out about delays. Now its probably at a 7, hoping the rumors arent true :/. Why I'm so excited is for a couple of reasons...
1) Emulators running at full speed.
I have a g2x (tegra 2) and n64oid runs at a tad too slow of a speed, but still runs it. I'm excited to play my classics like zelda, ssb, goldeneye and diddykong racing. I'm mostly excited about super smash bros and golden eye portable matches! " Oh you say you can whoop me in the OG smash bros? prove it on your break man! :: pulls out tablet and 2 bluetooth controllers at work :: LETS GO" lol
2) Other great games like tower defense games, high quality graphics shooters, OnLive. Think of how awesome it would be to be playing console quality games anywhere?? Thats too cool for school
3) Sketchbook pro with a jot stylus for sketches and drawings. No more needing to carry around paper and paints to express myself (i know corny but still loads of fun!) Erasing mistakes in digital art is always a plus as well :-D
4) Running full blown ubuntu on top of android to study for my networking and pentesting tests. You have a full blown os at your fingertips.. its even better when you add a keyboard dock. And even without the keyboard you have a hackpad
5) I have 2 computers at home that I can connect to with remote desktop to queue torrents for tv shows or to manage my terraria/minecraft server.
6) Since I have a bunkbed I plan on getting a snap-on case to velcro to the ceiling and run a wire to the outlet for power. I can set it as my alarm clock, watch netflix on it at night, read books/news feeds, play games. Really excited for that
7) Come on... who doesn't use their phone on the john? Well with a tablet you can actually watch movies... anywhere.. lol
There are LOADS of reasons why I'm excited for this tablet, so much I can do with it. BTW this will be my first tablet and I'm glad I didn't get the first transformer when it came out.. having a dualcore phone and not having a higher powered tablet seems almost pointless. I WANT THE POWER!

after i saw that emulator i was elevated for a 5 to a 8, don't know why that made me so happy, i don't even play emulators on my wicked gaming computer, i guess i just love the idea of portable mario kart 64 or some good ole FF7!
If I can play Blast Corps on it at full speed and proper control, I would be happier than a pig in ****.
Ok so I was lucky enough yesterday to call a local Gamestop and they had a Transformer Prime. So they held it for me and I went on my lunch break and bought it. Gamestop also said they won't return it if its opened.
My wife may kill me because I have the original transformer and had nothing but problems with it, so I figured I would wrap it up and put it under the tree from Santa!
My question is - Is there any reason I shouldn't open it and take it back?
Is the sound ok now that it only has one speaker?
I think the problem with the Original Transformer is I got it on the first day, so maybe the build wasn't as good as a newer one.

Shadowgun and Riptide both look absolutely incredible for mobile games. Think of great PS2 graphics. Those are the only 2 I've tried so far, and the only ones optimized for Tegra 3. Monster Madness is decent from what I've seen, Sonic CD is a classic. I've played Cordy very little, but I'm pretty sure it's free anyways.
Shadowgun Tegra3 version is better looking than any ps2 game that ever came out. its more like inbetween a great xbox game(xbox was more powerful an ps2) and a Ps3. I believe future games for tegra3 can easily be on ps3 status, graphics wise. developer even said itll be easy to do complete ports of PC games no loss in quality/graphics. some already use the exact same grphics in tegra3 as they use in Pc. some dev. Develope currently for both formats or more. link to info found in Either my superchip showdown thread or another stating what developers are saying/ thinkin about the prime and tegra3.
I'm so nervous about opening the Prime. I also ordered one from Best Buy, but I don't think Best Buy will really ship them. I like Best Buy's return policy better because it's 45 days no questions asked and no restocking fee.
If I open the one from Gamestop if anythings wrong they will only exchange it. I feel like Best Buy would be better to deal with.
So next month I'm going to mwc and need to be blogging and writing word documents, I can't be bothered to take a heavy mbp so I was thinking of buying the transformer ..
Good investment guys? Also is it as nice to hold as the ipad is?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
As nice to hold? Go to a store and try... How can we decide how it holds for you?!
And no, not a good investment in the sense that it'll prolly decrease in value within months... But yeah, it's still a great tablet and combined with the dock suitable for the things you want just fine. Dunno about how suitable it is for extensive working like that.
Awesome tablet bro but would never call a newly released gadget a good investment, cash wise that is ;#)
Yeah bad wording on my behalf.. I've ordered one anyway! Only reason I asked about hololding was the old transformer had sharp edges
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
No, terrible investment.
But great toy =)
Picked one up saturday myself. No complaints so far. FYI Office Depot has some Docks / Keyboards in stock, if you consider picking one up. Let us know what series you got and if there are any issues..

It is definitely a good investment as long as you get the keyboard. This is the main feature, in my opinion, that puts the Prime ahead of any other tablet out there (including the iPad). The SwiftKey X keyboard is great when the keyboard dock is not attached, however there a few bugs with SwiftKey and some Android apps out there (Polaris Office is virtually unusable when using SwiftKey X to as your keyboard).
I had the Prime for a week and a half before I could finally find the keyboard dock and I can say it is truly a great experience with the dock. Even without the dock the thing is amazing but the full sized keyboard, gesture enabled track pad, USB port, extra battery and SD card slot really turn the tablet into a true 'laptop' like experience. The keyboard and track pad are very responsive as well, which was something I was worried about as I have used cheap netbooks/laptops before where the track pads were terrible and the keyboards had a noticeable lag. I have had a few random reboots which would be my only complaint, so if you play games or are writing a long document be sure to save often just in case.
As far as the thing dropping in price after a few months, I do not think this is going to happen. ASUS has stated that the Prime is going to be sold along side the TF701 and the 701 is going to be marketed as the step up model. If you look at the original Transformer that was launched 10 months ago, it is still being sold for 450 bucks (for the 32GB version). Sure, over time the Prime will drop in price but I don't think that is going to be anytime soon.
Yeah a TFP + dock + mouse = great for blogging, assuming you'll be blogging directly onto the website.
As for word documents, you may have to buy an office suite app. It comes with Polaris Office, which is decent, but I like OfficeSuite Pro, although I don't think either has a spell checker...

That's pretty much the configuration i want. gNote + Asus Prime w/ keyboard.
Let us know how it works for you. I have the Note already, waiting for the Prime to deliver in a few days.
Hopefully that combo will convince me to get rid of the Macbook Air
I love my note but also plan to use the prime at work when training staff etc.. Need portability with Internet access and documents it seems perfect!

Just curious those of you that replaced their Android/iPad or no longer use it since they got the Note.
I am gonna get a Transformer Prime today but wandering if i will be overwhelmed with the Prime and Note. Or figuring if its necessary especially after the 650 i dropped on the Note lol.
I love my Note especially on the go. But its nice to have that extra real estate at home and of course more gadgets. But was debating $650 with the dock is expensive. But i currently have no laptop or netbook and the Prime seems.perfect for my needs.
I basically browse web, play nes and snes emulators. Email, root and Rom hacks. Obviously id take advantage of the Tegra 3 and game more.

the money issue, is not a big deal for me anymore, but i can see how that would make u want to wait or quesiton the want to get one. the Note can suffice for your needs if your strapped thats for sure.

Just about reaching a full day with my Note and I realized today I used my iPad about 1/4 as much as I typically would.
I found the following: 1) Note is always with me, so its more convenient than the iPad 2) I am typically referencing something else on my Note so its faster to continue using it for the next task. 3) Of course right now there is a newness factor to it but overall I still think I find it more convenient to grab than the iPad.
I will have to see what my behaviors are in the future but for now I don't think my iPad is going to get much use.

You might want to look into the PS Vita if you're looking to game on the fly...
IMO, the note can duplicate MUCH of the functionality of the TPrime. All you would need is the MHL adapter to connect to a bigger display (TV/LCD monitor), bluetooth input devices and you're good to go.
I currently have the (not counting computers/laptops) ipad 2, Acer A100 7" tablet, and recently purchased the Vita - specifically because I found smartphone/tablet games lacking in depth.

Good point. Maybe a PS vita and A Galaxy tab 7.0 for web browsing at home for 299. It would come out cheaper than the Prime and dock.

same , i use ipad at home, but for regular stuff like reading on train "kindle" i use the Note
I almost never use my GNote at home unless it is for phone calls. I use my macbook or if watching netflix my ipad. I mean the GNote screen is great but not when I have 13 and 10 inch screens at home...or a 24 inch desktop
I had an iPad 2 (now sold, maybe getting iPad 3 later) and hardly used it since I bought my Note. Use an iPhone 4s for on the go phone so Note pretty much acts like a mini tab.
Actually ive been reading great reviews on the Acer A200. Especially for the $350 price mark and it just got Android 4.0 ICS. Really pondering going with something like this.
Acer A200 10.1" $350
PS Vita Bundle $300
Also have a BB $30 gift card. So makes it actually $620 total.
Same price as if i got the Transformer Prime & the Dock for $650. Hmmmmm. Honestly Tegra 3 is awesome but i do most of my gaming on Xbox and would rather have a Vita for gaming and use the tablet for NES, SNES & N64 emulation.
Still rocking my Xoom with the Bugless Beast ICS ROM, PS Vita First Edition Bundle and my Note are my main electronic devices.

Slashgear Review
I was reading through my usual Android news sites and came across this. Instantly I installed it on both my Prime and HTC One X.
I haven't checked it out beyond the very impressive intro yet but I got a slight surprise whilst installing it. My HTC One X was around 2.5x faster at unpacking the game than my Prime was. I set the Prime off unpacking first then the One X, I even had to restart the unpacking on the One X due to the screen turning off and still the One X finished first and I was able to watch the intro (very impressive on a 4.7" 720P screen) before the Prime finished.
I had the Prime set to Balanced Mode (1.2Ghz) but I feel it's more likely the memory Asus have used that meant the unpack was so slow and that if I had selected Performance (1.6Ghz o/c) the One X would still have been faster?
Anyway, off to check the game out for a bit. Looks good so far

the slower speeds in read/write is software related. Asus needs to tweak the firmware.
Tried with my PS3 controller. It Doesn't work

The game is on screen gesture controlled. Not sure you can really map that to a controller?
Not my kind of game. But the graphics are good and the game runs smoothly.
And for controller. This game is made for touch, And I doesn't think that playing this with a gamepad would make it better.

Screen flickering
I couldn't even get the game started. Everytime I select "Start New Game", the screen turns white and start to flicker. I'm using AOKP at the moment. Do I have to do anything?

Others that have had this issue have reported that it has been fixed after a restart. Initially the screen does go white for a few seconds when you start the game for the first time.
Nice game I like that and runs very very smooth

sixaxis app and root can create touch profiles that are mapped to the buttons of your choosing on the ps3 controller

I have that but still don't think it would work. It's gesture control - there aren't specific areas on the screen to press for most actions. To look at something/pick it up you have to touch the screen where it is. To activate the crossbow you have to press the screen to pull it back and hold it whilst you aim then let go to fire. You then use gestures with the knife/sword to slash like in Fruit Ninja etc. You also click specific areas on floors to move to them or on doors to open them.
If there is a way to map everything then brilliant as I would prefer to use my PS3 pad but I haven't a clue how to get it to work myself.

Had the same issue on stock prime. It eventually worked after a hard reboot.

Does anyone have problems with the ambient/background noise intermittently cutting in & out?

I assumed that was on purpose so you can hear the cicadas they mention (damn game suckered me in for 15 bucks already haha)

This took me like 3 attempts to start, but it runs. I played this game for quite a few hours yesterday, about level 7 or 8 in game, on the second floor (if my level is too high for the second floor it's cause I kept getting attacked looking for gems).
All in all I like the game, big changeup for android.
I love the silent hill series, and I can see how some people can relate the two in terms of the plot and the monsters, but it's nothing like silent hills gameplay in my opinion.
It's more of a cross between blood and glory and a clue game. You fight like in blood and glory, and you search around for things on the map like those clue games on the market that I always see but never download.
I think it would be funner if you could freely move around, but it's pretty fun as it is, and that could ruin some of the suspense of moving to an area and wondering if somethings going to pop out and attack you.
Since it's free, there's no excuse for a tegra 3 owner not to download this and give it a go.

bro, get gamecih and save your money, I'm pretty confident it will work on this game. I haven't tried because I think gamecih can ruin a game by cheating, but it lets you alter numeric values like coins, xp, etc.
Also I'm not trying to tell you how to spend your money, perhaps you like supporting the developer, just speaking on behalf of your wallet :3
this is definitely a game you use to showcase the prime and tegra3 power. i cut superips on while playing so the graphics and screen pop out even more. its a beautiful game. and its free..lol
more games need to use the unreal3 engine...cant wait till bladeslinger finally releases.

Da Vinci THD uses unreal3 as well, been waiting for that one months before I even bought my transformer prime. 1-2 more months and it should be here finally.
