hey everyone, i just bought a transformer prime from staples.com 3 days ago and now it mysteriously won't turn on anymore?
I was using it fine and set it down, then tried to use it again and it just wont turn on, I know for a fact that the battery is 100% charged.
My question is should i go through ASUS and RMA it or just send it back to staples.com?
thanks in advance.

please excuse my ignorance, but what and where would i find the FW?
FW = Firmware
Settings/about tablet
Should look like this:
Build Number IML74K.(Country code, in my case US)_epad-9.5.2.21-20120323
IML74K.US_epad-9.5.2.21-20120323
.21 is the latest update

i have the C3 version and yes the GPS is useless and the wifi could be better.
also the browser lag is pretty annoying!
other than those issues, its a great tablet.

The Razorclaw rooting method has been successful for a few of the "early" units obtained, but curious if those getting theirs now with the official release are still able to root.
For those that attempt, please indicate if this was before or after the OTA ...
Thanks
Has anyone tried this yet with their new Prime? Curious to see if it still works after the OTA. I'll have mine tomorrow to try but wanted to know if anyone did it already.
After the OTA...and Nope.. No workee for me.

Thanks for trying. At least I know now to apply root first before OTA and see what happens, maybe root will be held, even though I doubt it.

it might hold. I know, with my Atrix4g, it holds root after several hard resets. My Ota doesn't work so not too sure. Even after hard reset ota wont work. Must have deleted something essential that ota checks for. Thats why I will wait for Ics b4 .
Tried it post OTA and didn't work for me either. Should have applied the root first but I was impatient.
I have learn my lesson before. I have put a hold on the ota so far but haven't try to root yet. Waiting on more concrete way that Razorclaw v1.0.1 will work and wont brick it.
Man, we are really the early adopters.
No root pre-OTA either.
hey just the asus transformer prime is my first tablet but i am just wondering what is the point of rooting?? I am at a lost for this.
If you guys could be so kind to give me a brief summary.

I did the OTA without thinking and feel retarded about it... The number one reason I'd root at this point is to remove apps that I'll never use...
What will ICS bring
I want to know what ICS is going to do for the browser on the Prime.Scrolling & page rendering on some pages on my xoom was horrific.My friend comes along with his dang ipad & loaded & scrolled through the same web pages with ease.

I think you need to be at build 8.8.3.23 in order to root. I can't get to the demos at gamestop but I think might have been the build of the one I rooted. I have been asking if anybody that goes to gamestop to stop and see what the build is on the demo, but no one has done it so far.
It's a negative for me also. throws up an error: 256

I thought all gamestops had to send their demo units back to Asus in early December. The tablet store that I got my prime from no longer had it for some reason when I checked in mid December.
By the way, I tried to root my prime out of the box with Razorclaw, and it gave me an error. I doubt any of the gamestop models are rootable because they probably applied the fix when adding the games. I'm guessing that the only models that are rootable are the ones that were in the very first production batch that didn't have wifi issues and passed right through QA.

I rooted a gamestop demo the day it came into the store. I think i even saw it on the display when I went to pick mine up. If my schedule isn't hectic tomorrow, I'll probably go back there and check the build and see if the root is still on there. Was wondering if there was anything I can take from it (any folders/files/partitions) that would help get the root back on ours.

Ok...so first off, no, you can't roll back. We don't have recovery yet, so no.
Secondly, I believe the youtube problem has been found to not be the result of the update, but on their server side.
As far as the remaining problem, not sure I can help you there without more info.

I have updated into us_epad-9.4.2.13 on my Asus and when it turn into stand by mode, it switch off itself, then I have to reboot.
Also, the life battery goes out in few hours.
Has anybody solution to downgrade to 11.1?

I had to have my S2 replaced under warranty this week because of failure of the USB port. The replacement came with ICS 4.0.3 already installed. After a day of getting all my stuff moved over, rooting the phone, and re-installing all my apps today I went out and paired the phone with my 2012 Ram. My previous S2 has worked flawlessly with this vehicle since day one. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get my Outlook contacts to sync to the phone via Hotmail Connector, only the Google ones. This had been working for me prior on rooted stock GB. The truck had no problem pairing, but doesn't want to dowload the phonebook for some reason so I can't use voice dial and incoming calls are not recognized. Is there enough difference between GB and ICS to have caused this? I don't want to go back to GB, but this is a deal breaker. I don't really see all that much improvement with ICS anyway. I need my phone to work as it was.:crying:
Test gb and see
Bleh
Instead of starting a whole new pointless thread, why not just downgrade and find out your self??

Dude you should have waited to get the replacement. The USB part for my phone just came in today and I just finished installing it. I'm charging up my phone now and will report back in your original thread on whether or not the charging indicator stays there after I unplug it. Replacing the chip was super easy, btw.
Edit: it wasn't your thread, but you posted in it. It's in the Q&A section.

Pointless thread? I don't want to downgrade, I wanted to find out if anyone else had seen an issue like this or had something better to reply with other than, "Flash back and see." Sorry if I took up space better used by another clueless newb asking how to revert to stock or how to flash his Skyrocket.
FYI, I finally got the Outlook/Hotmail sync working (I would tell you how, but since no one cares...). Now to see if I can get my phonebook to download to the truck. As for Lekerstein, I really didn't want to be messing with the USB connector when the phone is still in warranty. By getting a replacement I also now got another month added to my warranty and an updated phone, so I'm good. Hope yours works out for you.

Yes and no. It appears that the original method that worked on GB for setting up MS Exchange sync of the phone with Outlook via Hotmail no longer works on ICS. I simply tried a different method and that was the charm that worked. The functionality is still there, it just takes a different setup method to get it to work.:good:

No mention from Sony of the unwanted powering off issues.

Nope, unfortunately not. Root is gone.
Haven't tried rooting it again, yet, but as Sony did something to VPN i don't think it will work.

Yes i was rooted before, and yes it's gone now.
I'm gonna try rooting it again soon, maybe tonight.
Powering Off Issue
Had the issue where it would shut down and sent it to Sony Support. They have since sent it back "fixed". I can't say if it's gone or not because I still need to pick it up from the post office. They said that it was a software problem and they fixed it (as well as replace the back cover). Will let you all know if it's gone. Perhaps hidden in the release 6a update is the fix for this?

I sent my Xperia Tablet S in for the same reason, all they did was replace the back panel, they claimed there were no software problems, but they have me unconvinced. It still shuts off randomly, mostly while watching something on the YouTube app. The update seemed to only have fixed the wifi disconnects, and VPN issues. I think it's something in the firmware that Sony needs to fix before the shut down problem will be fixed.

After last official update (7.3.2.0) on Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon I got issue with vibration.
Button and keyboard vibration randomly stops working 5-10-15min and then works again.
Anybody else?
Nobody else have this issue after last update?
it can be an update issue?
I also face the same problem. How can we resolve this?
My mobile vibration gone completely please help me
Thanks
Issues with official updates, are better discussed in miui thread, I guess?
Think your problem is the same as mine. Motor stop working randomly and start doing is job again in the same way.
Thought was a software problem, realized is an hardware one since i noticed that, when he stop vibrating, if i shake the phone, hes starting again.

You can send your phone in a xiaomi center. I saw you are from india, so you should have no problem. I'm from italy, this means i've to sent it back to china and wait a life to get it back. This is why i didnt resolved the problem and i lost interess on it

I opened up my phone.
If you are not an advance user or don't have experience how to deal with phone hardware, I recommend you to go o service centre.
Otherwise you want to do yourself then first of all you have to check that if the motor is working or not. If the motor is working then you have to check the connection points the problem with me was because of loose connections and the motor was not tighten. Just check these points and you are good to go.
PS :- I always recommends to go to service centre because opening the phone voids the warranty
This is my situation.
