Rather bizarrely and hilariously ASUS have tweeted my video.

Well Asus have gone up in my estimation, at least they have a sense of humour LOL

Point after point!
Good point, indeed refreshing post. Maybe ASUS does not see the irony of the rap. Oh well, Back to the reality of depression the Prime as turned out to be.

Nice video, weldone.

Nice work. Always learn a thing or 2 from your videos

I must be sick... I love the 3d

I'm told that it is a gimmick, and that it should give me headaches. But it isn't and it doesn't. I actually love the feature that turns an otherwise boring also-ran smartphone into something different.
Before, I was one of the biggest naysayers, expecting to hate this phone and wait for something next. But I'm hooked. I may need to see a professional. Or we could form a meeting. Who's coming with me?

the only thing that sucks is......Every Evo better have 3D from here on out..I cant see myself buying another phone if it doesnt have 3D now.
It's disturbing - my brain is rendering everything in 3D now. This morning over breakfast I fell into a crossword puzzle. Just got out an hour ago.

We the people in IRC don't think you're worthy to call it a 3VO.
E3D is much better.
You make it sound like a Vaginal Santa Claus, VO VO VO!
It's kinda crazy but either you see the 3D or you don't. My wife has a really hard time picking it up but the 3D snaps right into focus for me. I love to take pics with my DSLR but now I'm looking at things and seeing what would be interesting to capture in 3D. I initially thought I wouldn't use it much but I've been pleasantly surprised and will use it a lot more often.
The 3D pictures taken by the EVO 3D look absolutely amazing on a 3D TV. While I think the display on the phone looks great in both modes, seeing them in full resolution on a large TV really makes the depth shine.
I have no problem seeing the display in 3D - I made it almost half an hour in to Green Hornet before I got sick of the movie itself. I look forward to more games and movies, but until then, I will spend a lot of time taking 3D pictures of everything, because it looks so cool.
The pron is in this section somwehere

I think the difficulty some people have with seeing it is that first, if you hold closer than 12 inches, it is very difficult (almost impossible) to see the 3D effect. Second, you actually have to make your eyes focus beyond the screen, which just does not come easy for some people.
I totally agree with the OP, I was always like 3D? whatever I'm getting it for the processor and battery and screen res. But the 3D part is actually really cool, and more exciting than I thought; I'm sold on it. it will definitely be the future of all things visual, I think sooner rather than later.
they just need to figure out better viewing angles for TVs and computer screens for glasses free, and it'll be 3D everything.

Loud Vibrator?

Anyone notice the vibrator makes *noise*? I'm not sure it's supposed to sound like this... It's almost a faint grinding sound..... hmmm

News to me. I didn't know the Prime had a vibrator.
No seriously . I know the TF101 doesn't have it but wow! Every day I learn something new about the Prime.
I really want to say, "I think that's your mom."

It definitely has a vibrator... in fact, I forgot the first one didn't! However, mine makes a sound for a half-second when the vibrator runs up... once it's on, no problem... definitely a defect, but there's no way in hell I'm sending it in any time soon, haha

are you referring to the haptic response? I think it's normal, it's an feedback that tells you you've performed certain task, such as turning on the device. I don't think it's an defect.

Look under settings -> Sounds
You can probably turn off haptic feedback, or at least turn down the intensity.
Yeah yeah to the noise....where'd you get the tf201!?!?

The sound you hear is the guy behind grunting and the faint grinding sound...that's for not using lube. LMAO
Man I had to say it. You put yourself in a "Prime" position here.
from the thread title alone,
this could find itself being the XDA thread with the most views in a few weeks.
Har har har, guise.... (Ok, so I was kinda expecting that reaction...)
The noise definitely is some sort of defect in my unit. I bought it through Amazon, and they have that awesome Advanced Replacement program, it just make take a while to get one to me (est. Jan 24 - Feb 7)
Just to add on, my TF201 hasn't seem to come across this issue.
Maybe it's just your unit. :|

That's definitely my guess... It's not crippling, but I don't feel bad at all about swapping it out.
I created a Vocaroo example... You can barely tell what the hell I'm saying, but the vibrate issue is pretty clear.
http://vocaroo.com/?media=vxpkSyWYSkavstwQu
The first buzz is the vibrate fully on (sounds normal once it's going). The next is the vibrate turning on and off (you can hear the grinding every time it kicks on). At the end is when it's on almost full power, and you can hear it kind of struggle.
yeah. does not help your a bit close to the mic. but yeah that does not sound right.

It's something at the hardware level (it happens regardless of haptic feedback) :/
I *may* end up with two Primes if J&R comes through, so I may be a mensch and turn it around at cost to someone at XDA, or it may go on Craigslist for profit... Depends on my mood that day
Most of my devices were free upgrades from a previous device, or I made enough money selling the previous one to cover the new one... I'm a cheap bastard, but if I can make money off CL, I'm on it

great video. added it to my favorites. my dock will be on the way soon. can't wait to try out my Ethernet connection. I would use it for huge movie downloads and such. even for those big gameloft games. it'll download it in no time.
can you do a speedtest on Ethernet connection and post your results vs. regular wifi connection?

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.

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.

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.

Holy Crap, video and audio record really well

Seriously, I took this last night at my gig in Seattle. I was playing with a LOUD 15 piece Jazz Orchestra (Jazz Police) and recorded with the front facing camera. I'm really impressed with how it picked up everything. On the OG Evo, this would have sounded like, well, sh*t haha. Watch it on YouTube in HD if you want to hear the good quality audio/see the HD video
Dang getting your jazz on

Very good. If you tried this with an S3 you would have heard garbled noise. One of the reasons I chose this phone.
Did you start developing for Android because your sax playing was getting you too many chicks?
Nice groove, great playing and great recording.. I love the mic on this cell..picks up percussive sounds nicely, I get similar results recording guitar amps.. great job!
