Hi friends
The time has come for the revolution. In connection with the way the Asus treats its customers I think we should start a revolution and a massive public campaign on the back cover replacement programme or any other solution to the problem of weak WiFi and/or GPS in Transformer Prime. The Internet is the power they are afraid of.
Asus' President would be very interested in the situation. He would like to know the way his company treats its customers.
We have to let him know... We have to make a change

Negative. It's a 10.1-incher with NVIDIA's Tegra 3 within (1.3GHz quad-core Cortex A9)
You mean the 7" tablet aimed at different market? Yep, let's petition every living thing! Occupy Asus! Torches and pitchforks!
I guess you missed this whole ongoing thread "Asus Transformer Prime TF700T official with 1920 x 1200 res and new design to improve"

From slash gear, it appears that the only changes are
-1080p
-2mp camera instead of 1.3
-changed back plate
I already got really good, constant wifi connection
My BT works fine with my Game pad and my Galaxy Note
I'm own phone, there's no need for a GPS
1080p = More battery drain for something that only Prime users will notice the diff.

Did you not check before posting this all over the forum? Where did you get the idea it was a Qualcomm chip?
In order for this to have any change of success, we should work out possible solutions first.
Noone is helped with just bashing their facebook walls.
Let's collect some opinions and options for ASUS.

Asus MO
Asus TF Prime announced
Ppl preorder
huge QC issues
Preorders canceled and delayed
device arrives
Problems didnt go away
Asus Solution?
Make new device, sell 100$ more expensive, leave ppl who bought TF prime hanging like a nutsack
Problem?
Here is a better link.
http://www.engadget.com/photos/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-tf700t-hands-on-0/#4728347
This is not a 7 inch version this is a 10.1. If you look at the back it is the exact one we need to make the prime work. So my opinion is they knew that aluminum was flawed but decided to leave it on. Then release this to fix it. While everyone wasted their hard earned money so they could be the first tegra 3 on the market.
They should upgrade us for free to the new one. Also it is still puzzling why the tf101 is going for the same price as before the prime came out.

No i mean new 10 incher shown at CES, beta tested by us using TF201. That's not the way they should do their business. I love my TF201 and I'm not going to sell it. But I do not like to be treated like a retard.

It wont be out unit Q2 (may/June), so save your money now, continue to use the prime and sell it in June and buy the new one.
So I just returned my prime to best buy because of some minor problems. If they had one to exchange I probably wouldn't be making this post. But now that they aren't really in stock anywhere I may just wait for the iPad 3. Now I'm really not trying to troll or anything but do you guys think I should wait? Or just tell me I'm being stupid and should come to my senses.
After using an Android tablet and then going back to an iPad 2, I hated how limited it felt in comparison.

You're being stupid and should come to your senses.
Considering you said you returned it for minor issues, I wouldn't get another one.

But then he will need to wait another 4-6 months.. I don't think he is going to do that if he is considering an iPad 3 which comes out earlier anyway.

Exactly. There is no comparison between Android tablet and iPad. One is for grown ups, while other is for kids who do not know any better or for people who think that getting "BT Transfer" in latest OS update is the latest feature in mobile world

There should be quite a few 1080p tabs to choose from in the coming months.
Ive got a Prime also and far from impressed main issue for me is poor wifi which is useless for my intended use of travelling.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
how about you act like an adult and make a decision?
i'm getting really tired of this "living by comittee" lifestyle that people are starting to adopt.
purchasing something as frivalous as a tablet comes down to a very unique (to the purchaser/user) set of critera as to what they should buy and what they consider value for their dollar.
if there were still any hidden mysteries as to what this particular tablet brings (in both the good and bad) to the table, i would be more compassionate towards the question of the OP, but the pros and cons of this tablet have been discussed ad nauseam on this forum, if one cannot make up their mind at this point on their own by reading, then no one can help them.

Which? Tell me. It will really take some time before they are actually available in the stores. And if you want some quality tablet you would not want to go with Acer. Lenovo is overpriced. Samsung, Asus, Apple are the one's who make the best tablets in my eyes.
And no, I don't had any of those WiFi/GPS/BT issue's with my Prime so I also put Asus there because with my tablet it was very solid build, had a good feel etc. etc. Same for the TF101.
I had to return mine to best buy because it was stuck in the ICS rebooting loop. I just ordered another one today from office dept. If ICS and wifi work and there are no screen issues I'm keeping it.

Absolutely correct. There is definitely a reason business, major medical institutions, educational institutions and the U.S. military have contracts in place with Apple.

I would go for the Transformer Prime TF700T in Q2 if WiFi and GPS will be better as that is what the Prime should have been.

Somehow I doubt a lot would regret waiting the few months for one that does get addressed properly compared to the one that doesn't due to its design.
I dont care if you return it,keep it or get something else. Im sick of dumb posts like this cluttering up the forum.

I have an iPad 2 and I don't mind the lack of customization to be honest. I kinda like the feel of ios.
So I received my Transformer Prime today and am having wifi issues (very poor connection strength). Also, I have a group of very bright pixels on the screen.
I know there is a new Transformer tablet in the works that has significantly better specs...so I'd be best to wait. In the meantime, I found a mint TF101 with docking keyboard for $350. Everything checks out and it seems like a great package for the price. This coupled with ICS arriving in two weeks for the TF101 makes it a reasonable decision to return the defective Prime and get this original TF101 w/keyboard.
Is this a good move? I've never owned the original Transformer and hope that it is plenty fast to play flash content. Anyone care to offer a POV on this decision?
I plan on getting the newer Transformer in Q2 when it's rumored to release.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
I have both and the OG TP is pretty damn laggy even with a 1.65 OC.
That + the random reboots and freezes makes in a no go for me.
I did it and am happy with my decision. Wifi is crazy strong and the device is plenty fast.
Wake me up when the new Transformer is released. The Prime isn't ready for prime time IMO.

Looks like already out of stock online. Went quick.
Just go to nowinstock.net
It was easy to find my second prime for my wife.
Took a day of looking and I got an email for tiger direct having them in stock.
You dont have to sign up tho.. just go and click the transformer prime tracker they already have set up.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
Amazing. Was only in stock for about 2 hours. Why is everyone still buying these when there clearly is a problem with the Wifi/BT system? I don't get it.
San Rafael CA Best Buy has a few TFP and docks in stock right now. Just got to ask them to dig as they are mixed in with the original Transformers.

You'd also need special drivers for it to support wifi i guess.
I actually like the design, thought it would get alot worse and i think i'll take one But they could have made another port on the back side somehow, so you could plug in the charging cable while the dongle is attached.

Cool thanks for link and pictures. Maybe this dongle will improve WIFI for some as well.
Well maybe this is why they wont send my RMA back they were waiting on the dongle because according to the website its been done for weeks now but they wont mail it to me and it went in for wifi and gps problems. maybe now the they will send it BACK!!
Great Article!

IMHO it looks like crap...totally ruins the sleek lines of the TFP. Ill take one, but I don't see myself bothering to slap this thing on much. Would have preferred a new backplate.
Looks better than I thought it would, thanks for sharing

kind of kills the point in a transformer that can't transform after using the GPS dongle
I expect a newer case with this dongle incorporated into the design. I also hope there is a possibility of a pass thru charging port.
P.S. is Asus just giving us TFP owners this for nothing? Is there a mailing list out that we have to sign up to get it?

More information will be posted in the "Unofficial ASUS" sticky tomorrow (4/16), and a sign-up form will be available then. It's going to be free, and available to every Prime owner (at least in the US, but probably worldwide).
Lots of threads on the topic, including that main one.
Looks... beefy? Passthrough charging is almost necessary. Thats my biggest hope atm. Looks like it will fit in the mounts that are out there, too.
