I have went to open my prime several times only to have to press the power button over 15 seconds to start. Is asus gonna fix this? is something draining my battery cuz it is very low when it does this, however i see my prime lasting days if i do not use it for long periods

I haven't noticed this problem with my own Prime.
Have either of you tried doing factory resets? Generally speaking a factory reset solves all kinds of annoying software glitches like this one, especially ones that occur right after an update.

My prime works well on everything but this dead spot on the screen o.o its new and I just found it via a drawing app its the spot where nothing would draw
I attached the pic (screen shot)

download multitouch app from the market, see where the dead zone is....I suspect that it was exactly the same place as my old one..which was right where the WiFi radio/antenna was (based on Anatech's teardown)
I searched and searched for an answer to my issue...some said to run a re calibration..but that didn't work for me.
ICS updated didn't help either. Ultimately i returned mine for another..and this one has no deadzones...no skips..nothing. BUT i traded for a white dead pixel and a bit more light bleed then my first one. I can live with that.
If you want to see an example of my deadzone...go to youtube and search for monkeyboywa. I posted several.
My summary? Return it for another one.
Thank you. I may just return to amazon and wait for the 700 or padphone if it works with att without having to lose my unlimited data. This device has problems even though the deadzone and GPS are my only ones I paid close $ 700 for this and the dock ( which I'm prob going to cancel the order for)

Update : I put it on its back and tapped a bit hard with my finger and it worked.......... even after when I soft touched it worked.

I should mention that the screen dead zoned again. It seems to be an on off occurance. In different spots

Considering Asus's defect rate with the TF201, I find my self not surprised by your post.
You have a very good point. I am getting my money back and really researching. I'm thinking padfone if ATT doesn't botch it

Mine did this at least twice. Seemed to be related to screen autorotate. Haven't pinpointed it exactly yet but it always happened after the screen rotated (maybe I had my thumb on it while it was rotating?).
Anyway turning the tab upside down, causing another rotate, fixed it for me.
Freaked me out for a second. Loaded the same notes app and found that I don't have any dead zones... Sorry to hear about your problem.
That could be it. I have my rma just sitting in my email I have until march to send it back. So im looking at the padfone also as a next device or ill get the new one that comes out. Asus rushed to much on this tablet.

i've had this happen as well. I didn't think it could be software related, but a reboot fixed it.
Its the strangest thing. But depending on what my options are by march 1 St ill make my choice

I might be tripping but I always charge my prime at night and turn it off. Since getting my dock when I come home from work i flip it open and it is on already and the docks battery is already dead or dying and the tab is on maybe 80% . Whats that about? Somebody experience the same thing or give me some pointer.
Not a big issue but annoying!

Once in a while ill put my prime down, hit the standby and a few mins later it turns on by itself. Turns on and off like 7-8 times.
Aliens....
I was one of the people who preordered this tablet before launch and have been using it for about 6 months now and have no complaints with the tablet as of yet. I just purchased the keyboard dock for it, and the tablet becomes extremely laggy, sometimes taking 10 seconds for it to respond to a keystroke or touch in balanced mode only while docked. It is fast and fluid when undocked. I have docked and undocked many times but problem persists and it persists after restarts. I am running the .18 firmware. Can anyone think as to why it is like this?

I've noticed that ever since the jb update when my Prime goes to sleep the tablet will only wake up after the second or third press of the power button. Normally I'd think that this might be a hardware issue but it doesn't seem like it judging from the responsiveness of when I press it at any point other than when it goes to deep sleep
Yes! And one more thing to get out of the way is whenever I charge my tablet. For after 15-20 minutes of usage the tablet displays the charging logo followed by a ding sound like I've just plugged in the cable, I would've usually thought that this might be yet again an issue with the usb cable or my port but I've Did a search and found that some of the users are having these issues after the update as well.
So I'm quite curious about your experience with the update? Did any abnormalities suffice? If so did you manage to solve it?
I have same bugs and many other bugs with JB

Got the same problems, and even have occasions where I can't switch the tablet "off". The button just doesn't respond, however when using a software reboot app, the button works perfectly again.

I wouldn't say it's much of a surprise for the amount if effort put in considering that this is already a discontinued device
I have this problem while running Craig's custom JB builds of CM10 using the 3.1 kernel as well. This is definitely a bug in the source somewhere.

Both the charging and power button problems?
Hmmm.. It gets me wondering that since there are considerably minute amount of Prime users out there and that this is a defective product, on a consumer perspective, users won't bother complaining about bugs like the power button and the charging issue or sd card dock causing reboot issues as long as Asus doesn't destroy their tablet with another update its good enough, expectations of how the Prime should be working as a premium product has decreased dramatically
While on an Asus perspective, they wouldn't very much be bothered to test and seek for any bugs for the Prime given that it is a discontinued device, so I'm guessing that issues like these will never be solved if a Prime owner remains stock
Just the power button issue.

i experienced both of the issues too.
thanks for this thread. i thought i was too stupid to push the button but it seems like many people got the same problem. it's not that big a deal but a little annoying in my opinion.
Yes. If needed, I'm on HB 1.3

I have also had both problems.
In addition, the update to JB removed the "News and Weather" app and also disabled the syncing of bookmarks in the stock browser with my Google account.
All very annoying issues.
I am on HairyBean 1.3 and have several issues.
-The "charging" popup will happen every 30 minutes or so when the cable is plugged in.
-I cannot use the keyboard dock's Lock button to wake up the Prime from sleep.
-any tabs I have open in the stock browser will disappear when the Prime goes to sleep.

I hate to get this thread off topic but to try and resolve these issues either pm me or post in the thread. I am not an official Androwook developer but I did install HB 1.3 on my prime and have not had any issues.
Also I can confirm this issue before flashing Androwook's Hairbean 1.3 with the custom Cleankernal. Stock Jelly Bean seems to just have an adjustment that puts it into a deeper sleep that's excessive in an attempt to improve battery life.
Hey guys, I'm in a bind here and I was hoping the accumilated knowledge and experience of people 'round here could help me out.
I am backpacking through south east asia with my trusty prime as my link to the world and it has so far been a wonderful travel companion, but I fear that my Prime's screen has lost touch functionality again (third time), only this time it's refusing to get fixed.
First time was fixed by a simple cold boot but seemed to be a result of pressure on the back cover of the tablet (I sat on it.. A little..)
The second time couldn't be fixed by normal or cold reboots and was only fixed when I undocked the tablet and gave it a cold reboot, as if the dock was somehow affecting the state of the touch screen.
The third time is the weirdest- I was doing some reading using the Prime undocked, touch was working fine, and then upon docking it, the screen stopped responding.
This time normal resets and cold boots aren't having any effect, docking and undocking isn't either, and I'm about to try a factory reset but I doubt it'll have any effect.
This started about 4 months ago, with the second incident about two months ago, and the third one last week.
Inbetween incidents the screen works wonderfully.
My problem is I am traveling through south east asia for a few months, and I won't be able to return it to best buy.
What is this problem, hardware or software? Can anyone make any sense of it?
Any suggestions?
I've tried rebooting, cold booting, draining the battery, leaving it off for a while, and I'm about to do a factory reset.
What's even weirder- the GPS, which was completely dead since day 1, now works.
Thank you all,
Eliad.

Humidity?
Perhaps you can try and put it in a warm, dry place with a lot of rice (should be easy to access there).
Just a thought... good luck.
My best guess is the cable inside is loose and no longer having a solid connection to the mainboard. The OS would detect it on a reboot since the cable inside would loosely reconnect, but it refuses now because it's out too much. That's my take.
If you're feeling brave pop it open and look. I don't picture it randomly failing but these digitizers are renowned pieces of ****. If you're in a humid area do what the above poster suggested.

Nah, I don't think it has to do with humidity... The cable theory sounds reasonable enough though.
Thanks.
P.S- Opening it up and messing with it will void my warrenty, won't it?

Quick update for all who may search for more info on the issue, who may find this thread by searching for it-
Today, after over a month of no response from the touchscreen, it magically started working again..
I have tried hard resets, I have tried factory resets, to no avail.
I started looking for repair centers in south east asia in hopes of being able to get it fixed, but that never seemed to work out well.
In my despair I was starting to consider opening up the tablet and attempting to examin the touchscreen myself.
But as I said it magically started working again. The factors who I believe might have contributed to that are these-
I have given up on the touchscreen after failing to fix it with a factory reset, and had resumed using the tablet by using the dock. Recently, though, I have started using it as an e-book reader, using it undocked and flipping pages with the volume buttons.
I was using it today to read a book in tablet mode for a few hours, when the battery ran out. I then plugged it in to the dock, which was charged, and on a hunch gave it a cold reboot. The tablet started up and the touchscreen was fixed.
I believe using it undocked and draining the battery might have been the two contributing factors, although it is unclear how any of it could have effected the touchscreen functionality in any way...
Oh well...
