A lot of times when I open the recent apps menu, I get a huge screen tear or flicker across it. Any way to fix this? It behaves differently with Force GPU rendering off, but it's still there. Happens on both my TF101 and TF201

Big deal, happens for me too. Doesn't cause problems so ignore it.

I get this too. Kind of annoying. It doesn't show up all the time though

I am getting about 2 random reboots a day now. Is anyone else seeing this along with long reboot times.

Same here. Which apps are you using? Have you done anything special? Got mine just yesterday and haven't done anything yet except for installing 3 apps. Wondering if this is a hardware issue...
I know some apps n such aren't updated yet for this version of honeycomb or tegra3. stuff like that or device freezing up usually comes from a bad or incompatible app installation. like I noticed, n others also, that Google earth has been acting funny. I've had it freeze on me in Google earth and either forced an FC or reboot. only happens in Google earth after a while. someone else made a thread on it. some experienced it not loading or freezing up or even reboot. that's the only thing I can really think of. they say when device starts acting up, usually stems from one of the last things you downloaded or installed. so just work backwards uninstalling certain last apps or whatever to see if issue remedied.
same thing happens to me with just normal use... I'm starting to regret buying this thing. Just had it freeze while using google earth.
what worries me is that i've tried using my friends galaxy nexus with ics and it is also buggy/glitchy... i doubt that an update would fix all the problems everyone's been having with their prime.
nope, hasn't happened to me. No random reboot at all and I have over 60 apps on here

I have over 100 up here already. haven't had not 1 random reboot. only thing that'll could pinpoint causes issue was Google earth. which there is a thread on also. its needs updating to be more capatible with our device. sometimes it'll freeze up or not load all the data. that's a software/compatibility issue on Google earth side, not the prime. random reboots and freezes are usually caused by an app you downloaded. easiest way to eliminate the cause is to go back and uninstall the last apps you put in there one by one. then you will find out what was causing the issue.
I bet it's an app that's causing it. I got my Prime yesterday, and I was ready to return it last night because it was constantly freezing and rebooting. I had installed a ton of apps, most of which were apps I use on my phone. In a last ditch effort, I did a full reset last night and am slowly installing less apps. So far, it's running perfectly. I suspect Swiftkey X was causing the problem, as it didn't run properly, but I'm not sure that was definitely it.

I took your advise and so far so good. I disabled the factory restore and started from scratch. Seems better so far.

Mine did this twice after I downloaded and ran Google Earth. It locked up and I had to restart. After that it restarted twice. Since then it has been perfectly stable. :thumbup:

you mean me RIGHT? LOL
The Motorola Triumph I have is prone to random reboots, but in every case I've traced it back to a program...could be the same for you. A bit annoying as two of the programs were ones I'd used for sometime on my old Droid 1.
Not sure if it's a program that's causing it... it might be a more serious problem. mine has now frozen 4-5 times while the screen is off in the last week.
I uninstalled google earth after it froze but now it's casing me to hold down the power button with a black screen so it can reboot. i love this tablet when it works but for $500 I feel like it shouldnt have this many problems.

Yeah I figured out my issue was a live wallpaper. After uninstalling it I haven't had a random shut down to were I couldn't start it until after several tries.

Just picked up the 64GB Asus Transformer Prime 2 hours ago and so far really liking how fast this thing is! I got the keyboard as well, but as I am typing on the Prime, I keep accidentally hitting the track pad and keeps moving around. Will have to check for the settings if there is any. It does have Android 4.0.3.
Now will be selling my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Fry's Electronic store. The website shows as zero instock, but I was in the area and stopped by and they had them in-stock. They actually have the Champagne 32GB as well.

And you don't have any issues with horizontal lines across your screen?
I decided to get breakfast this morning. It was pretty good, although I kept trying to eat my cornflakes with a fork.

So far no horizontal issues that I see. only seeing the GPS issue like others, and low WiFi signal.
Another thing I did notice is that I have the keyboard dock and when I docked the Prime, it was showing that the Prime tablet was at 100% and the dock at 90% and started to have some lock ups, I restarted and when it did, it showed the Prime tablet 89% and the dock 91% and doesn't show that it is charging the Prime tablet. Hmm... Not good for a $600 tablet.
Another thing I noticed is that the cursor jumps all over the screen when I am typing with the keyboard and I don't even touch the track pad. Another bad thing. I might try to exchange the keyboard dock for another and see if it is the keyboard.

gps fix seems to be released in the new OTA update tonight.
What version does it up date too? Running the System Firmware Update and keep getting "Failed to Connection" I will keep trying
Hopefully it does fix GPS as I would use this feature a lot since I would be traveling outside office everyday.

Try turning off the touchpad while you type. It's the 4th button from the left on the top row, if your keyboard is like the TF101's.

Thanks i did disable the touchpad but thats not really what i wanted to do. I am going to exchange the dock for another one just in case there is something wrong with this one.
By the way keyboard works great with touchpad disabled.

OK I'm new to the tf201. Just got it after my tf101 and have tried searching for some answers but didn't find anything.
When I manually set my brightness and say watch a movie in the dark at night I can see my brightness clicking up and down. Anyone experienced this? I also have washed out colors ... but I think that's just my screen.
Thanks

I think I readed a while ago that the constrast is changing a bit. I would also want to disable that.

Omg this is SO ANNOYING. I emailed the asus tech guys but all thry said was to return it
Or to send it in for RMA
The contrast is changing? How do you fix (change) that?
Hum mm maybe I should send it back in....

It's a tegra 3 battery saving feature, automatic contrast. It's extremely annoying, but sadly no way to remove it... It's less visible if you up the brightness. Really wish Asus would make it so you could turn it off, at least in performance mode or something...

Hi Guys
Have only just got my TF201 and I have a question about waking the screen, can this be done via the keyboard dock or do I need to use the button at the back of the screen every time?
Thanks
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
just go to settings, then Asus settings, in there you will find an option almost at the end if (I'm not wrong) that lets you wake the tablet using the keyboard.
Edit: yep, at the end of the list, under energy savings.
Can't believe I missed that, thanks so much!

I recently got my tablet back from RMA (broken camera) and as I was updating the many apps I had when I got it back, I decided to get rid of Chrome. I would normally assume a placebo effect here but the tablet is indeed behaving better. Before unistalling, I had gotten into the habit of waking up the tablet and waiting a minute or so for it to settle...now, it's up and running immediately and no lag anywhere.
So...maybe my experience is a unique one but I thought I'd share nonetheless...
I just deleted Chrome after reading your post just for kicks while in class not really expecting it to do much. To my amazement my tablet was immediately faster, noticeably so to the point where I am kicking myself that I didn't know this sooner. Now my only complaint is that I really like the Chrome browser and liked having everything sync up.
