Just bought a Prime from Local BB here in Yakima, WA. Four just arrived today in stock. 32GB grey. After a failed pre order prime BX serial. (see my open prime thread in sig) This was a C2. No Light bleed. WIFI works excellent. Only thing that didnt work was GPS. However, I was expecting this. (Not using this for traveling only bedtime / couch surf)
WIFI range on this thing matched with my kids iPad 2! I was able to get WIFI in areas where my BX never did. Plus i am actually pulling my full bandwidth. 30mbs / 5mbs. I tested every area of my house right along side my kids iPad 2. Same results! I am totally amazed and very happy!!
Modded prime with working GPS will be mounted permenant in my vehicle.
New C2 from BB with its sleekness will be my bedtime / couch toy!
good news to hear then. Congrats.
good for you I was lucky and got a perfect one in january. Its such a great device^^ i have no idea why you would get an ipad over this.
have fun.
How can I know which one I have is that the serial number mine start with c3 is that good

There havent been any significant differences between the serial numbers. So you're good
There have been cases with other devices where they actually improved as new batches came out, but the primes have been consistantly good from the beginning. Even though this forum suggests otherwise. But you will only see the people with problems making posts so its really misleading.

Nope. Working fine on this C2! I been streaming .mkv's in Diceplayer with my bluetooth headset. Audio is in sync! Can't believe it!!! I am freakin happy. Does not have the bluetooth fallout issue whatsoever.
While I was opening this thread, I was really hoping it all worked out. I was worried it could turn into another .....well you know.
This is great news! Glad to read Asus is working out some bugs!
Enjoy my friend....

Thanks! If I can marry this prime right now I would. (However, I don't think WA allows you to marry an electronic device. )
I was a little apprehensive on laying down another $540 for a tablet. But everything worked out fine. Going to buy the black tie protection as well. I should be all set.

yes he is serious but lets not get into that never ending debate. before we have to pull the poll up showing over 80% of prime owners are happy with their device. over 400 prime owners in xda voted that way. And Asus and CNet interview statement showing less than 1% of primes are defective/have been returned.
I do admit, there are some units with issues though Smile.
its a tired debate. for the most part, majority is past that and most primes seem to be performing fine one way or another.

sorry forgot to add "according to ASUS RMA numbers" And thats about the only thing we can rely on if we are talking facts. But yeah lets burry this discussion.
as i said you will only see the people complaining in these forums... Go to an [insert random manufacturer] forum and you will find people complaining big time. If you hang around here all day and read every whine post you will get the feeling that every 2nd prime is broken There are units with issues as there always are when a new product gets released. That and people are just crazy sometimes. Look at ipad3 it got a little hot after playing some intense game for 3 hours and people start running back to the shop with it...
They should have touched my old old overclocked Celeron which was running at 90° C all his life.
Well I just received mine today and im happy wifi is strong gps locked fast and maps works great I did not try BT and really I don't care too much about it mmhhh well if I'm getting the keyboard probably I should lol
Is it normal that the battery last a little more than 5 hours with really heavy use almost straight use gaming downloading apps games browsing the web,taking some pictures etc...... Is my first cycle FYI thanks

I am happy to hear your newest Prime is working so well. Did you get an identical one or did you change the color? I'm guessing 32g with the 540 price tag. I was keeping up with your GPS mod thread and I'm guessing you must be very excited to have a brand spanking new Prime that you can start something else on. Just kidding. I finally have my 6 week RMA adventure coming to an end and Asus is sending me a C30 unit delivering Friday by FedEx. Their doing an advance RMA for me and I am grateful for that. I'll do a thorough test on the weekend and let you all know
Just got a new C30 from Amazon today. I will be waiting on my refund from my BCO that sat in RMA for over a month before Asus offered me a refund.
I didn't have problems with wifi on the last one but this one is certainly at the same speeds as my laptop (very close to the router). GPS was non existent until I tried a GPS fix (Transformer Prime Test Build 2 - Google Specific No-SSL v3.1), GPS is still a work in progress, but I have hope (even if I have to mod it externally).
Very happy with this prime. The feedback you can't hardly feel but at least it doesn't rattle like my last one.
I have a c30 just received today so far so great ,I'm confused what exactly is the gps issue I want try it tomorrow so k.want to know to compare since today I just locked gps up and tried a navigation and seems to work great thanks

Get and Try app in market "GPS test" You can see how many birds are in view. I want to correct myself in original post. I said GPS didn't work as expected. It does work on this C2 tablet. However not very well. I get some birds in view. When I pull up google maps. It puts me like two or three houses down from where I actually live (indoors). Of course my phone is accurate within like 12feet (indoors). I haven't tried outdoors with this c2 yet.
Let us know about the C3.
OK I downloaded but don't know how use it if you have me more instruction I'm happy to help and let y'all know how works in my C30
Is there any way to take screen shot on an unrooted transformer prime
Nor sure is what you looking for but, in views it was 10-14 in use 8-12
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-2
You can take a screen shot by holding volume down & power at the same time. If you had a GPS problem yours would say 0 like mine.. and not change even outside clear view of the sky. I just use bluetooth2GPS between my Nexus though if I need it on the Prime so its no biggie to me personally but it sounds like yours is fine

I don't and won't need it, but signed up today to get it. I may want to sell my Prime in the future and having it might make that easier.
Put it like this:
What's the point of not having it if it's free? Ever thrown something away that you turn out to want/need maybe not even a week later? Kind of like that to me

If you want to be able to rely on your Prime for navigation assistance then yes you need the GPS dongle. GPS will not work reliably without it, if it did they wouldn't need to manufacture and freely distribute a dongle now would they?
Also.. its free. So even if you never use it, it is worth signing up for and getting just in case you do need or or you want to sell your tablet sometime in the future.

For the record, I decided to test the GPS on my Prime today while the weather was warm. This after I checked my serial number of the device: C1 by the way...
Walked outside and stood 10 feet away from my front door. Less than 10 seconds and a lock. I walked around a bit and walked back into the house and it was still locked.

That's because you are / were connected to your home router which gives the prime your location based on IP. A better test would be to disconnect WIFI, disable location services and reboot, then test. You probably wont get the same results
Of course you need it ! Having it will add couple more bucks to the price when you're selling it

You're right! Now answer me this: why would I ever turn that off in the real world?
Google has mapped millions of Wifi SSIDs to assist with this very same thing. Half of all telephony GPS devices would have the same difficulty without it (especially since Google leases this information to Microsoft and Apple), my MyTouch 4G Slide included. Why would I not keep location services on?

I will happily sign up for that dongle, but not without i see my screen light-bleed free. Made up my mind to be without it for a few weeks, maybe a month. If it takes longer than that, i'll ask for another one at the store.

Why would you need gps if you had wifi? To check where in the house you are? Or which section of McDonald's you're in? If a device needs wifi for the "gps" to work then they might as well not call it a gps cause my Desktop can triangulate my position with wifi.

Who cares?
If the problem is solved because Wifi assists the GPS in finding a lock, then who cares? GPS in small devices isn't always going to work. I learned that 10 years ago when they sold only GPS USB dongles and it took forever to get a good lock. Turning Wifi on takes care of the issue.
Look, I get it. We all want our devices to work perfectly. My desktop doesn't handle two video cards easily. My video card doesn't handle TV relay (like Slingbox) well. My phone doesn't have a dedicated number row on the slide out keyboard. My A500 was a bit bulky. My Sony BluRay speaker system sometimes has a delay. My Insignia LED TV doesn't handle Xbox great. My Astro A40s bleed through batteries.
Welcome to technology. If you don't work in IT, let me give you a heads up: nothing ever works 100%, 100% of the time.
Just consider yourself lucky it's the GPS with your tablet, something so absurd to make use of on a tablet anyway.
And if you're still bothered by the whole "Asus sold us a load of crap" concern, well, this is life. This won't be the last time that happens. And honestly, I agree with that other poster; if it didn't have GPS in the description or on the package, would you have refused to buy it? Google's ingenious SSID mapping has made geolocation so much faster and efficient (unless you live in the backwoods).
I'm sorry, I don't aim to be mean or anything, but this is ridiculous. It's semantics. If it works, it works. Is the world going to end because you have to turn on Wifi to lock quicker?

It turns out, if you're a normal human being and don't mind running Wifi alongside your GPS (like most people run their phones), you'll be absolutely perfect. Only if you're a stickler for no reason will you have a problem.
I am learning over the past 24 hours that people are making a big deal over GPS because they are too stubborn to make the modern-era change of running Wifi alongside GPS. If you have no problem doing that (like a normal person), then you'll be perfectly fine.

Buy and ipad3. Stay away from the TF201. It sucks in many ways, the only good thing it has going for it is the quad core and the screen. Wi-fi - SUCKS, GPS - SUCKS.
I don't mind that GPS sucks (actually never ever got a lock on once), but when Wi-Fi sucks when you are 10 feet from the router. That's a huge problem. I cannot even sit on my sofa and use the TF201. My Xooms, no problem. I can even go 70ft away with the Xoom and no problem. TF201, about 4 1/2 feet then it takes a DUMP.
For the price the ipad3 will give you a much better user experience. TF201 as far as I am concerned is a defect. LEMON.
ASUS won't even let me click to get the free dongle.

I totally agree! I personally don't see what the big deal is. I get a location lock when using Google Maps, as an example. I don't see why anyone needs to have a constant gps lock all of the time. I'm not getting it. I have my Rezound and Tom Tom if I need door to door direction.

That is stupid. Do you work for ASUS? If the tablet didn't have a camera would I still have bought it? Yes. But if I bought it and they told me "lol the camera is actually fake, we didn't think you would use it." then would I give them hell for it? Yes. As far as I know, people use gps on their phones for turn by turn without internet and it works fine. So I am not sure what you mean by gps won't always work in small devices. As far as I am concerned the TFP is bigger than many GPS devices on the market.
BTW, there is a difference between needing wifi to get a faster lock (aka AGPS) versus using wifi to triangulate one's position (aka the internet). I don't get what your deal is that just because you don't use the gps on the tablet then you think that it is absurd. If no one uses it then why did they put gps on the tablet in the first place? Why does Apple put gps on their 3G iPads if no one uses them?

That is tragic. Looks like the modern era is actually degrading. I guess eventually we will have to connect our phones to a cable to make a phone call and then start writing each other letters. Looks like we rather burn the battery and data on our phone unlike the abnormal people who have phones with gps that actually receives signals from satellites rather than using wifi to triangulate the position.

Yea you personally don't. But don't talk for others.
Update: So apparently this has been cracked by HBOTroll1, all thanks to him. You can find his thread here. Unfortunately I have dumped my photon because of Motorola's failed promises. It was a great phone but I will never again by from this company. I also do not have HBO GO anymore because of this issue but I might get it again to try this apk. I am reposting a direct link to the apk here.
This has been confirmed to work on the Photon by others. Also if you have an MHL device to try this on that would be appreciated. I am not sure if MHL is a problem to begin with though...
Disclaimer: To my extremely limited knowledge reposting this does not violate any copyright laws, which is not my intention. My belief is that this is a lack of functionality in the program which has been fixed in this apk. If such is not the case, HBO please contact me so we can discuss this error in your program.
MinceMan said:
I just got HBO GO, I know Game of Thrones is f*****g awesome as **** *** *****!!!!
Anywhoo... I tried plugging the photon into my tv as the PS3 does not yet have an app and HBO GO refuses to play video with the HDMI plugged into it. Does anyone know any way to stop the app or the system of realizing that the signal is being sent out?
I would be willing to put in a lot of effort into getting this hack to work but I don't even know where to start. So any advice would rock!
RANT: I know they have a reason for disabling this but for realz I can just torrent their shows so when I'm paying I'm not going to try and rip off their stuff. I mean there's a reason that I'm paying!
RANT EXTENDED: I hate all of this DRM like bullsh!t that makes it more difficult to be a paying customer then a priate. I mean you can just go to isohunt or thepiratebay and search for game of thrones 720p. Then download the playstation media server and install the extra codecs and whatnot they recomend. This will let your computer transcode the video files so that the ps3 can output the video over your network. Wifi N can handle the video great and plug in a hundred foot Ethernet cable for $13 and get beautiful streaming with 5.1 surround sound.

Unfortunately I don't think there is any kind of workaround for this. I remember having the same issue. Think I tried running HBO from browser in Webtop mode but can't remember if it just didn't work or if it worked and the video was bad quality.
Probably better off downloading vid from the net and installing to view locally.
what we need is to get our hands on the earlier version of the app
I've heard people report it USED to work using a combination of the first release of the app and something called Xternal Display (which just mirrors the image on the screen.)
I know sprint t.v doesn't work either on HDMI out using stock mopho .

I'm guessing that it check the version number and would want you to update. Though if anyone has an older apk I would love to try this out!
I have version 1.3.1, I just installed version 1.7.1 and installed this version and it still plays fine, haven't tried hdmi out using version 1.3.1 yet. But I'll upload it tomorrow, I'm away from my computer right now
I got it working perfectly
I used splashtop on my Macbook which also works on PC to get it working everytime without fail. I have a video on youtube that shows me doing it but I am a newb so I can't post link. lol
sorry everybody, i thought the thread was dead but here is the hbogo 1.3.1 apk, just fyi it gives out the original error message saying that there is something wrong, not the new one stating the program doesn't allow hdmi out.

There isn't much to do without an internet connection, GApps want to setup a Google account before they do anything. I did play with the photo sphere, that is pretty cool.
I have to say that I like the look and feel of the N10 more than I thought I would. The promotional pictures made it look curvier than it really is. The sides and bottom have a slight curve, maybe a couple of mm, so it technically isn't a rectangle with rounded corners (suck it Apple). I like the speakers on the front, sound is one of the gripes I have with my GTab 10.1
I looks like the replacement will arrive on the 21st, so hopefully I'll have something to play with over the long holiday.

This sounds exactly like a certain Android-related issue with certain WiFi routers. If you experience such an issue, I would first suggest trying to use a static IP on your N10. If it's the same issue that I'm thinking of; setting a static IP should fix it.
Another fix is to set the DHCP lease time to something (some routers have it at forever, which could be bad). I had a similar case back with my SGT7 and a Belkin router (Belkin routers are pretty well known to have the DHCP lease at forever)
Mine has dust in the display so Google is shipping one out on Tuesday. I really hope I don't get another defective unit.
I was having a similar WiFi connectivity issue and nearly drove myself crazy trying to solve it. After reading this thread, I went into my router's setup (I have a Belkin, by the way), and refreshed the list of devices that are connected to it. Since doing this, my Nexus 10's WiFi has been working like a charm.
Belkin is crap. No wonder it has issues.
Update: 20-Nov-2012
The replacement came today and all is well, no network problems. It took me about 10 minutes to get setup and configured. It looks like the first one just had a bad WiFi chip.

Huh?
...but I don't even use my cable remote anymore. It is so damn convenient being able to browse movies and shows on my phone and just tap on what I want to watch. HTC really nailed this function, it works flawlessly for me. The IR blaster is insanely strong, I don't even need to point the phone even remotely at my TV or cable box. It also makes playing with my phone while watching TV perfectly justifiable. Brilliant!
Plus, I get to mess with my friends when I'm at their places... "WHY DOES THE CHANNEL KEEP CHANGING?!?!?" mwahahahahaha :victory:
Lol i did that at bestbuy and there like our guy is in the back playing with the wires and im like ok dumbass

I busted out laughing when i walked away and the employee just stared at me and I did it at my house when the kids were watching tv and there like wtf
No more looking for a lost remote since it's always in my pocket.

Wish there was a way to change TV providers with each remote setup... I stay at my girlfriends house 1-2 nights a week and I have to change from Directv to Time Warner every time. It only takes a minute but it's still annoying.
Awesome functionality/app otherwise! Use it all the time!
yup! the tv app is fun and useful.
In a few months time I am expecting restaurants and some business establishments to forbid people holding a Galaxy S4, HTC One & Xperia Z in their hands upon entering the premises
I was surprised at how well it works. Better than universal remotes - some of them can't change the input (i.e., hdmi, TV, etc.). Soo good - hard to believe this isn't getting more attention. This one excellent feature is better than the S4's several gimmicky ones.

I haven't tried multiple remote setups yet. So if you make a second remote profile you can't set it as a different provider from the first?

I haven't tried the GS4's but I agree that the One's should be getting more attention. It is a great feature that actually feels fully fleshed out. They really did a bang up job with it. The only thing I would like them to add is custom buttons and programmable macros. Then it would be perfect.
The ir blaster on the one works better. Seems stronger and better placed.

Loving the blaster, been real fun at peoples houses. Also very practical at home.
Does anyone know if it can control the DVR? I currently have DirecTV.

It can control the DVR on my Comcast box so I'm assuming it'll control the DirecTV one just fine. One thing I just noticed though is that there is no option to record directly from the guide in the app (at least I don't think), which is a feature I think HTC could easily implement.

Yep! Controls my Directv DVR just fine. Just go to your remote and it's one of the pages available on the bottom.
Controls my DirecTV DVR fine as well.

even if it doesnt recognize the device it can always learn from the remote of the device, thats super useful

It was so funny. I was turning off TVs and changing the channels. They were freaking out. They even called the cable company and reset the cable boxes. It was so hard to sit there with a straight face and just act like I was playing on my phone. They kept changing it back to the bulls game and I would change it to golf. lol.
