i think this thing has potential.... as long as they don't make it too locked down and linear. The level of customization needs to be really high in order to satisfy some of the android community (me included).
if you think about this, the app is going to be used by many people to have something different than other users and/or get a new experience. So why would it be locked down so that everyone has the same?
just my 2cents

Looks really good, but I hope they build something that you can disable it or make custom pages that override everything and you can activate with a push of a button.

this looked really cool, and they even reached the goal, surpassed it actually hitting just under $51k...and then scrapped it.

Apparently this was terminated because of a problem with Amazon's payment system. The project is still very much alive, unfortunately they have to start the funding from scratch.

****, my bad, i did not see the other one.
you know i bought a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 a few weeks ago and then found about the transformer prime. It looked really nice and it was the first tegra 3 tab, so i returned the tab 10.1, thinking i'll just pick up the transformer prime.
that was then and i am still waiting. lol
seeing as how the release date has come under question so many times, then reading numerous articles about quality control and wifi issues... i am starting to have second thoughts.
its clear that Asus doesnt have their business channel and distribution under proper control. The lack of communication between consumers, retailers and Asus is disturbing.
This is where you appreciate the structure a company like Apple has for example.
Anyway, i am patiently waiting just like all of us here and hoping for the best. Hopefully this Christmas I would have a new toy to play with.
Hi all.
I'm not willing to post anything like this in the dev section of course, but hopefully everyone kind of checks up in the general. I'm just curious as to whether or not all this fuss over the unit's issues with that over the announced TF700T is going to affect development in any major way.
I know I read one poster comment that all of this turned him away from doing dev work for the Prime, I'm just hoping to gauge how universal this feeling is. I think at this point not much will deter me from getting one, I'm just wishing we see as happy a community that I've seen with the Desire Z and I imagine most other devices.
I guess if everyone jumps ship it's just time to finally hop on and actually learn the things I use everyday >.>

oh yeah man. as crappy as it sounds, this device has a good chance of getting lost very quickly. it all depends on the release date of the tf700t. if its early q2, then yes. if its late q2 or q3 than no.
of course, the poor execution of the launch has left many users saying "screw it" and waiting a few months for the tf700, samsung 11.1, and ipad 3.
personally, i think asus has lost the tf201 crowd and i do not see the user base getting very large. we will have quite a few people, but there are too many options now (not in november)
I'm staying here to develop for it.
I only recently started developing, back in ~September/October on the Droid 3.

I would think that a lot of people would still buy the 201 if the 700 is really going to be $100 more.. There's nothing that the 700 adds that, to me, warrants my spending an extra $100 on it over the prime (this depends on your priorities, of course).
This is pure speculation, but if the only real difference is screen resolution, I would tend to think that development with the new Prime & the current Prime would go hand and hand, and ROMs may be enter-changeable. Kernels are another matter, but you never know.
Bumblebee bee will be developing hopefully along with jcase and viperboy! Then we are set! I think all the good developers of the OG transformer will be developing for this! I mean as long as we have Cm9 I will be happy!

That's how I feel. Pricepoint should still cater to quite a few, and as they phase the unit out it'll become (should anyhow) even more affordable. This (in my mind) would warrant it as a cheap(ish) way into Tegra 3 dev work. But with inherent wireless issues out of the gate...

I like that perspective. Things should be easily interchangeable between the two, I hadn't thought of it but ports could really keep this thing afloat. Suppose it really is about time to start brushing up on all my programming languages

So they'll keep it up eh? That's good to know, naturally I'm just hopping in and haven't seen much in the way of ROMs, but that can't be close to surprising. Still a brand new device. And of course the ICS update is out, so that will hopefully kick-start some goodies!
They released this tablet knowing it had issues, they rushed this tablet to the market and most of us feel cheated! Where is the "Persistent Perfection"? It is their company motto! We need to do this to get them to realize their mistakes!
We can all agree that this tablet is plagued with issues, Big or Small; Noticeable or Not; Software or Hardware; Customer Support or Communication.
Known issues we need to stand up for! Whether you experience them or not!:
BLUETOOTH INCOMPATIBLE WITH WIFI!
WEAK/SLOW WIFI!
GPS NON FUNCTIONING!
SCREEN BLEED!
MELTING/OVERHEATING CHARGERS
UNKNOWN SERIAL #'s!
RANDOM LOCKUPS/REBOOTS!
LESS THAN ACCEPTABLE SUPPORT!
HORRIBLE QUALITY CONTROL!
TERRIBLE RMA EXPERIENCES!
DEAD PIXELS!
DUST UNDER YOUR SCREEN!
ETC!
Then to top it all off they are now dedicating all their resources to multiple new tablets (7000t 3000t, 3g prime, Memo, and the Padphone), instead of doing what is right and fixing the first one!
THE GOAL IS TO ATTACK UNTIL THEY RELEASE SOME SORT OF REPLACEMENT/REFUND/EXCHANGE PROGRAM!
We need YOU to Tweet, Comment, and Sign the Petition
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

IT WORKED WITH THE BOOTLOADER!
You guys obviously where not here for that! got a response from asus within 48 hours
In some way I don't think it was mostly their falt but ours since we were already rushing them. They did delay the sales because of the quality but demand was to big on our side. People wanted the device knowing it had problems and now most of them are fighting that they didn't pay much attention to the tablet. Even though we wanted it the way it was....... But every body has their views.
How many people agree?

Shut up some of us are out of our return window! and are you not unhappy that they will be releasing versions with fixed GPS and other stuff!
The bootloader thing was completely different, this is way too far, and its worded like a spoiled teenage rant.
What really annoys me is that I see you "OP" genuinely trying to help bring these problems to light and get Asus to do the right thing and fix this debacle of a product. But instead I see trolls trollin your thread. Lame.
I applaud you for your outcry. This really needs Asus's FULL attention. Not just Gary and a few other employees. I have a feeling Asus is going to proceed with the release of the TF700t and leave the TF201 in the dust. If I was Asus I would carefully take a look at what went wrong with the TF201 and figure out how to fix it. Instead of releasing a new product. If these problems aren't fixed by Tuesday I am returning my Prime and dock and going with an iPad 3 or maybe a TF700t. Most likely an iPad 3. I really hope Asus comes through in the next 72 hours.
Try not to get upset with fellow TF201 owners. I guarantee their tone will change once the TF700t arrives with no problems. We are all on the same team.

No problem. I am here to help.
I know that I have only been a member of this thread for a short while. But I have enjoyed/found most people here to be informitive and entertaining.
Not only is Asus causing me to second guess my 5th TF201 & dock purchase by way of a full refund return, they are alienating me from participating in this wonderful forum full of members with similar interests. After my 5th Prime I'm gone from XDA/Asus.
I really hope it doesn't come down to this.
Ok guys, i feel ya. It sucks getting a faulty product especially over and over. No argument there.
But these issues are only present in a small percentage of Primes. And most of them only apply to artificial situations. For instance wifi: I have a a ~16 Mbps connection. What if my wifi drops to 8 Mbps for some seconds while watching youtube? I wont even notice. So for 95% of Prime users those wifi "issues" dont exist. Me included even though i get pretty steady results.
Minor screen bleed is present on almost all IPS panels even your precious ipads (you should get one, they are perfect devices, will never have problems and last 100 years - sry irony took over ). And again, the only place you notice screen bleed is on startup screen or if your in complete darkness looking at a black page and turning IPS+ on.
So the amount of people that have gone through several primes is very very small. Even here on XDA most people dont experience these issues in a way that the device becomes less fun or even unusable.
By logic the amount of people that will sign this petition and send some spam mail will never be enough to actually achieve something. Sorry man
The bootloader thing was something completely different. Companies locking up bootloaders is something that affects every freakin Android user. So i'm pretty sure there were many people that didnt even plan on buying a prime signing that petition. The same way i have signed the HTC petition and will sign every single one about locking bootloaders of Android devices. Plus, i'm almost certain ASUS already planned it when the petition started.
Again it sucks buying and waiting for such a product and then having a faulty device. Happened to everyone once... But all you can do is, return it and hope for getting a working replacement. Buying another product, or waiting for the next Transformer model from ASUS.
And btw when i read TF700T will have no issues, all i can say is lol. Its like saying the world will end in 2012. Wait... Maybe the two things are linked in some higher plan we dont understand yet!!!??? I think i'm on to something here...

I agree. Most of the TF201 returns I heard about from customer service at my local Bestbuy were transactions that resulted in a full refund not exchange. Most people would return and move on to iPad 3, TF700t etc......
Do you really believe that after this mess of a release Asus is gonna release another defective product? I don't think so. I'm sure Asus's legal department/engineering is working together to provide a "Asus Inspiring Innovation Persistent Perfection" product with the release of the TF700t.
While I'm not quite as zealous as the OP, I do feel that ASUS needs to address the issues listed above. They undoubtedly knew there were pretty severe engineering issues with the prime before release if not, then quite soon thereafter. The weak wifi and nonexistent GPS are unquestionable. The other QA problems are more or less expected

found this while i was looking around;
"Early last month, it was revealed to much outcry that the Transformer Prime had a locked bootloader. Angry customers took to the forums to vent and started a petition to get Asus to change its stance. And just 24 hours later, that's what happened, with Asus promising an unlock tool down the road.
Today Asus delivered, with the unlock tool hitting the TP's support site"

Thanks Sony for not being there.

With Sony being the way they are I can't see it happening. They don't want people to mess around with their software. I don't understand what the problem would be cause if they unblocked it and let people do what they want with their own tablets, then I reckon sales would sore which is what they really want.

Well, I would be happy if we were to start a petition -- but let's be honest here. We are not even 1/6th of the number of users using the Transformer Prime. In fact the Transformer tablet series is almost a runaway success for the company. They have vast number of users compared to us.
We are literally the bottom of the barrel here. We might as well get used to it and at least try to salvage something with our own efforts (bounties and the good posters of this board), but there is one moral of the story here: Never again choose a tablet based on what seems to be a unique function and design. Sadly numbers simply translate to more XDA support. Tablet S will soon be off the market, and Sony is to blame for killing it.

Man to be honest i bought sony because of his price (Got a promotion in Portugal ), the magazine shape, good performance and a great screen image.
We are a small sony s tablet community but really great people here, always helping each other and discover new things.
In this moment i don't need a new rom, because the current is fine, I can do all the things i want, and i'm waiting sony ics.. But maybe with a new rom we can get a better performance, but root was a great discover
I like sony s size too, transformer is bigger and less portable, sony have great dimensions, not too big, not too small, just perfect to take everywhere
I agree its pointless to devote resources to ROM until ICS comes out.
BL unlock on the other hand, I assume the work can be carried across (does ICS change the Bootloader/recovery?)
Just one year after, the Prime development is dead. Two roms have been updated a month ago and much appreciated work on them. But that's about it. What was once the tablet of the future, Asus made it a flop, A $500 flop at that. How poor, I'll never buy another Asus tablet or PC again. I had mine since day one and have no problems with. I wish everyone could say that.
Thank you for your contribution. We definitely needed another one of these threads.
Long live the Prime!
Yes, as said before, this is the problem with people who jump on these forums and fill it with non-sense, gripe and make an atmosphere of uncertainty and unthankfulness.. Yes, thanks for the positive outlook indeed.

This is not true. lilstevie and tux_mind are VERY close to perfecting an Ubuntu dual boot. Think about it, Volume Up to boot Android; Volume Down to boot Ubuntu. That would be the coolest thing in the history of things. This is what I have been waiting for since 2008. Sooo... STFU.
Prime is dead
Mine truly is----at ASUS RMA facility for the third time since purchase
first 2 times wif-bluetooth issue in shop for 1.5 months
this time green camera
Truly a 500$ 650 if you count the dock peice of c***
There are very few primes around in my country so i don't care if its dead, i have a special device and its working perfectly.
But i think my next tablet (i hope the prime works for a long time) will be one with a digitizer for pens. Like the galaxy note 10.1. In my situation i prefer that over a keyboard.
Long live the prime.
I've had mine since day one. Never had reason to complain about it at all. Two friends have bought them after seeing mine. Still use it every day. I wish I had two.

I think that the Development is very slow mostly because around a 50% of users have their Bootloader locked, so lots of people couldn't use other roms, kernels or mods (and of course if a user wants to start a develop and has it's Prime locked, simply he can't).
I bought the tf201 a month ago because I didn't know anything about Bootloader, I thought that I could flash a kernel for OC or something similar. I try to unlock and I couldn't, and now I'm happy with it, because my tf201 died a week ago. When it returns from the RMA, I'll try to sell it. That's all, and this is the last ASUS tablet I'll buy.

Let me help you out a little, jordache. I'm quite happy with my Prime. I've not had problems with it. I have several Wireless APs at my home, so it's saturated with signal. As a result, I've not had problems with the wifi. I've chosen not to Root or Unlock my Prime, so I've not had the headaches there that others have had. As the features go (HDMI, Micro-SD, SD, USB, additional battery in keyboard dock), the Prime is top notch. I'd still take it over an iPad any day of the week.
Having said all of that, Asus's post-sale hardware support is terrible. So terrible that I probably won't buy another Asus product. I managed to lose a couple of rubber feet on the dock. When I inquired about getting some replacement feet, Asus wanted me to do an RMA on the dock. I'm not impressed.

That is correct because my bluetooth sucks, my wireless sucks and should be much better than it is. No other issues besides that. I was just stating a fact that there is not much development for the tablet anymore. That's all I was saying, take it the way you wish but we are all allowed opinions here. thank you
The truth of the matter IMO is that people have come to expect too much. It's the "where's my update" syndrome where people want something new ever other week. Things evolve so fast that yes, a one year old device is practically ancient history. And Asus supported this device for much longer and through many more updates than most other manufacturers do. Take my Motorola Droid 3....please! Seriously my Droid 3 was abandoned by Motorola almost as soon as it was released. My original Droid Came with Android 2.0 then it got 2.1 and 2.2 from Motorola and then 2.3.7 via Cyanogen Mod 7.2 but once on 2.x, always on 2.x. On the other hand on the Prime we went from 3.x to 4.0 to 4.1 and will probably see 4.2 which is really not bad at all. It should also be capable of running future versions of custom ROMs....if the developers keep working on it. But really we have to expect that they will eventually move on too. But these days a year is almost an eternity for a mobile device.

Yes and another no brain response. I was just stating a fact.. don't like tough sh*t. I love my Prime, if I didn't I would have sold it long ago for something better. I was just stating that development has slowed down to a halt.. nothing to do with bananas !. Gezzzz

I don't see it so much as slowing down, more like we have got to the limits of what we can achieve with what we have.
When 4.2 arrives I'm sure you will see some more dev work going on and also there is cyanogenmod which updates nightly if you really want to update regularly.
There is only so much you can do based on the stock rom.
