Hi!!
I'm wondering why a tablet with so much power doesnt have the features that the Galaxy note 10.1 tablet has. I'm wondering is any of those features possible for our Primes.
I love my Prime but i cant help to think why is it not capable of doing half of those things? and also is there an app like S note for the prime?
ASUS ROMs are generally AOSP and this feature is not in AOSP. See stuff like Cornerstone for alternatives, or go port whatever Sammy does into a custom ROM for Prime .
Combined with the S-Pen, I'd consider the Note 10.1 a plausible replacement if my prime dies before the Note 2 or Tegra-4 tablets debut. But honestly, there's only so much you can do with a 10.1" screen.

thanks for the info, but i havent find anyway to flash the cornerstone to my prime. do you think that the features of the galaxy note can be ported to the prime:fingers-crossed: i would love to see that
There are a handful of ROMs out there that have Cornerstone built in, but you will sacrifice stability for functionality.

Because it's ROOTED, has great devs building stable ROMs, and killer KERNELS!!!! Seriously, side by side, the Nexus is that much faster....
Don't get me wrong, I love the Prime and I'm not sending it back, but keep up the spam campaign for an unlocked bootloader.

No, because it has good software running on it. Besides that the Prime runs still HC oposing to Nexus' ICS, the Prime's HC build is just crap. It's not well optimized at all. Even some Tegra 2 devices with HC are faster.
Well Newegg is refunded me for my bad 32gb samsung. So now I need to buy something else. I have been reading reviews on the samsung tab 2 and they are stated that the hardware is worse then the originial. What are your guys thoughts? Thanks
Tab2 - different GPU, ICS, microSD slot, no camera flash. Everything else is the same.

Is the GPU better, worse or the same?

Most say better. Unfortunately, you won't get the tegra zone games if you switch. Its omap4 over there, so better CPU and gpu.

Same question as trillonometry. If I had the choice, I would go for the prime without a second thought.

My budget is 400. A quick google search, they appear to be 500.
I did look at the TF300 but was unsure if that would be considered a downgrade from the samsung one
Definitely the Transformer Pad 300 then.
Check the TF screen before you buy. I have TF101 but the screen was worser then GT. The brightness was not enough and the picture quality was also lower.
i'm unimpressed with the development from tab to tab2.. they should innovate more..
Well I have done my homework on these devices and the choice I made was the Samsung Tab 2. Now if I played tons of games or wanted to take tons of pictures with my tablet I would have chose the Asus. I thought the reviews and since I have a Samsung TV it makes sense as I am hearing I can integrate them nicely.

Yes, the allshare is an excellent feature...and the number 1 reason I went with the SGT.

I love the prime, but it is a bit larger than I what preferred.
If you guys had to go to a 7" tablet, what would you guys consider?

Id wait to see if a 7" Nexus tablet is goig to be released. If i were to want one that is awesome in that form factor now I would say the Samsung Galaxy 7.7 or the 7.0+.

The tab 7+ is a crappy tablet. Overheats, crappy TW lag, no ics, case creaking etc.
It has been discontinued already.
Acer has a new 7 inch that is below $200 and has ics
and a tegra 3. The A110 seems worthy for the price.
Personally, I would love to see what the nexus tab is gonna be like.
I would wait and see what the Nexus 7 Tab will be like.
so im planning to invest my Asus Prime to my Pa for next two months. So any advise what quadcore tablet should i buy again? Is Asus Pad TF700 worth a shot? or i'll wait for another big uprade from quadcore tablets... Thanks fellas..
Edit: decided not to let go my first tablet, m kinda miss it... i'll stick to my prime for better or worse. Hehehehee
the infinity pad or Nexus 7 would be good choices, Imo

I would go with Samsung and their Note tablet if you can wait they seem to have their products running pretty good (Galaxy S3) with their hardware and software, and they have good development here for their devices. I wish the Samsung Note Tablet with their CPU and hardware was out when I was deciding what to spend my $650 on.
I would wait before purchasing an Asus tablet again and see if they can fix their I/O performance problems if I were you. The Prime, Nexus 7, TF700, yeah they look nice but looks can be very deceiving as we know (Example= Prime).
IF Asus ever gets the I/O problems fixed then the TF700 or the Nexus 7 could be good choices. I wouldn't buy anything from Asus (Tablets) until you see if they can fix their current issues because if they cant fix the Primes performance they wont fix the TF700 of Nexus 7.
As an owner of the Prime I feel we were basically beta testers for the TF700. I refuse to recommend any Asus tablets after being used as a beta tester they got me once but not going to happen again. The bad part is I had to pay $650 to be beta tester!
Tablets are suppose to be a fun enjoyable experience not as frustrating as its been with the prime, we keep hearing they got an update coming out that's going to fix all the issues, but every time we get an update it does not deliver!

I doubt it. the rear camera was cut out to save on costs. Even without rear camera, its a great deal.
There is a slight chance that down the road, once manufacturing costs drop for this device, they "Might" release a revised version with rear cam. I doubt it though. never say never though

Thanks for sharing these thoughts..... i do agree with u.... the only thing that i love about this prime atm is becoz of the ROM i got. So lucky enough i happen to bump the ANDROWOOK ROM....

I would wait to see what Samsung is bringing next. If Samsung's next top tier tab comes with a Exynos 5250 it will be far superior to any Tegra powered device. But for $200 a Nexus 7 would be a great buy even if you end iPhone getting a 10" down the road. I bought a GTab 2 7" and think I like the size better than 10".

Yeah, thats what i thought about sizes. 7 is much easier for me. I can use it at almost places im in. I commute everyday by van, and cant get my prime out from my bag, and when taking pics, ridiculous, it's huge. But anyway, its still is useful inside my office....

Hi guys , how y'all doing
I have a GALAXY Tab 10.1 , but I'm thinking of buying an ASUS Transformer Prime Tf201 , but I have concerns for the Wi-Fi issues is it solved ? Or not ? Please answer quickly
P.S : I can't buy the tf300 the TF201 is my only choice.
Thank you

Well, most of the wifi problem is because of the metal backplate. Compared to Padfone (which is plastic) it's about half strength on mine TFP.
It is solved on 300 or 700 with plastic backplate/antenna cover.

Oh okay , how do you get
wifi reception is the problem isn't sold yet?

WiFi works, just less reception
WiFi works fine for me, I just find that I get lower reception compared to other devices. At home this isn't a problem as I get a good signal through the whole house.
Wifi issue is a manufacturing issue not a design issue. You might get one that works well but unless you are ready to return, return, return (within your in store return window of course. dont wait 6 months and hope to screw a store over) until you get one that is well built dont get a prime.
sorry but how about tf700?
The problem the only transformer available is the tf201 plus I can get it with the keyboard dock for a pretty good price .
If the pad 300 or the pad infinity are available I would bought them .
If there is a special way beside the tearing it I would be appreciative

I have to say I am very disappointed in the prime. And I have two powerful Asus laptops that I love but this is just a slow buggy tablet.

Can be good
I've been pleased with my Prime, and the dock takes it up to a whole different level compared to other tablets. Apparently there's been some variability in manufacturing, though. So if you can buy it and have the option to return, I'd suggest going for it. If it works, in my experience it works well. Not quite a laptop replacement, but very close, say 90%. And at least 300% of the battery life.
I wouldn't be buy, I have mine since January and it's camera doesn't work and another apps.... Try the Galaxy Note 10, is a quad-core with 2gb of RAM

I've had the eand I thought it was a wonderful tablet. I really didn't care for the GPS but wifibwas always weak and the ANR finally got to me. I've since swapped it for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and what a Difference! The note is what a tablet should be and finding it super useful with the pen too. Best of all wifi is good, GPS works, and never an ANR. Runs much much faster. To me its a no question option to go with the Samsung Note after having used both devices.

Tried the note 10.1 last day, placed the brightness bar to full, not that bad, but i guess eventually it gets disappointing....

Forget it. With all the issues owners have, getting a Prime at this point would be stupid. Personally, I wish I waited for the TF700. For now, please...just wait for the other models to become available.
I just got a used prime and love it. GPS need that dongle but other than that..which is no big deal for me I really like it.
I thought about the note since I like most samsung products but the fact that we got a tegra powered Nexus 7 made me want to own a tegra device.

$150 max. You will not have warranty left, the camera is likely to break, wifi is weak, gps is non-existant (can't charge with the dongle), cust support lacks,....

So when I just want to use the prime inside my or my friends house, don't need gps and definitely want to root and customize it the idea to get one cheap isn't that bad right?
Would like to switch from my netbook to a cheap tab and need the option of a good keyboard to attach.

The TF201 is not a tablet, its an electronic project kit. If that doesn't sound like fun don't buy one.
