Pressure-sensitive touchscreen?

Was looking at the specs on Amazon, and noticed that the screen is listed as a "capacitive pressure-sensitive touchscreen." Hadn't noticed that before, and didn't think capacitive screens are typically pressure-sensitive. Any thoughts?

Betting it's just a case of misinformation.
Actually, I'm willing to bet that this is factual, given that it would seem as if the more "pressure" that you apply to the screen near where you might already have screen light bleeding... the more that appears.
I swear these screens are bull****, recycled materials that underage children made in China.

It's just a capacitive touchscreen
And you could always try testing in Sketchbook Pro, which has a setting for pressure stuff

its possible they are talking about the maxtouch sensor in the prime that will detect a special pen with varying pressures

That's kind of what I was thinking, but I couldn't remember the name of the sensor.

Electric feeling

I've had my prime for 2 days but whilst charging it last night I needed to have a quick look on the web and as I gently touched the outside outside of the prime I could feel a very faint electric charge. As anyone else experienced this ?

Many have, I haven't. I have a UK Prime, most reports of this I believe are from US.

That is strange, I can honestly say that I have never had this.
well this one only slight screen bleed and 2 dead pixels. gps is not working at all, the dock keys are all ok so far, so I'm debating taking it back because of the electric problem but will the next one be better or worse lol ?

ok now im getting a messed up back arrow on the bottom left hand corner of the screen.

I had the same "problem" with my laptop, which had the same material with the Prime.
Saying that, my prime is also does the exact same thing.
Maybe both of our mains supplies are messed up and our electronics are not grounding, let me know if you get hit with 240V?

it has posted here somewhere. Just flip your power plug the other way, then it would solve it.

Can't do that in the UK. We have proper safe guards to stop such craziness.
Your prime is shocking.

hm i hear electrons are healthy *bzzzz*
I have this on my Prime, but I have also had this on other electronic devices with aluminum faceplates or other components, such as certain stereo equipment. I wouldn't worry at all.
Yeah, they kinda made the charger ass backwards lol... I've gotta have my Asus logo upside down so I don't feel it. Tbh I think it felt kinda cool lol but something that's $500 shouldn't be doing that.

Mine does the same thing if you touch the metal body near the charger. Quite unsettling at first but you get used to it lol.

I got it as well. Just feels tiny vibrating, just like a rotating HDD.
I guess it's because the chassi is grounded and got a different potential than you.
Just checked and pcw near me have none in stock so I can't just exchange it. I would love to just be able to spend my £500 on a machine that does what it says without all the worry of getting a worst one than I already got.
Shocking with No GPS at all (I get 1 sat then drops off almost instantly), Discovered 2 more dead pixels so thats 4 in total, Only slight light bleed from 1 edge.
I love the performance and speed but am feeling like it's worth less than half a grand.

At least you haven't been getting actually shocked the past 3 days.
I'm actually getting a small shock, like static. Don't know why.

It does happen, most wont notice it as it just feels like a very very faint vibration.
When its plugged in, run your fingers over the metal kinda lightly, just brushing over it and youll feel a small vibration tingle... its normal apparently, just dont go in the bath with it

Transformer pad 300

I did not see a board for this so I will ask here. The new transformer pad that is coming out in a couple of weeks. Will that use the prime dock or will it have a new dock that is different. Looked at the pad 300 and it looks like the same placement of ports as the prime. Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
No, it will not fit the prime dock. They are different thinkness and the colors wont match.
The thickness is what i wasnt sure about. i dont really care about the color matching. sucks that they are different sizes.

I'm sorry, what's that?
Maybe some pictures would help me understand? I don't know of what would be plastic and keep you from docking, do you mean your glass screen is starting to flex out along the bottom?
Oh! Do you mean the charge port on the Prime or the dock? If that's the case, then likely not. I think under all circumstances a broken charge port is most likely going to be considered Customer Induced Damage, but you never know until you try.

Wow, maybe it's just the angle but it looks like the entire body has a bend to it. Have you tried bending it back yourself? And is the actual charging port ok, it's just all the metal around it that's deformed?
I have no idea if that'll be covered or not, but if you stand your ground and put it down as fact that you have not mistreated your tablet and that the keyboard and charger are the only things that have been in contact with that area, it's a possibility they'll cover it under warranty. That is crazy bent up, it would honestly be a chore for me to even try and make that happen.
Sorry I'm not of much more help, good luck.
Actually you are right the tablet its Bent a little thanks anyway i guess i will my keyboard

That's wild. Yeah, I don't know how they'd handle that. It would be hard to say the dock bent the entire tablet in that way. Totally sucks, how is the screen, no light-bleed or undue pressure you can notice? Looks like someone might have tried testing its durability a little too much lol

I don't know how the dock would cause that though. Who all lives with you, who else would have access to your tablet? I mean, that almost looks like someone put it on the edge of a table then leaned on it or something: I can not see the dock making that dent.
Do me a favor, check that your dock has all its screws in the hinge. At one point I had problems docking, and almost started to get rough/forceful with it until I decided to look down in the hinge. Below my Prime was one of its screws that had come out and was keeping the tablet from sitting right: you could have had a screw come out, and as you were trying to push/twist/whatever you were hitting the screw in different spots?

[TUT] loose hinge on tablet dock

Hey guys,
some days ago I recieved my new Transformer Prime 32GB with Tablet Dock. I've heard from the strong hinge of the Keydock, but if I unboxed it and tried it out I was shocked that it was so loose.
I searched hours for a solution on the web but sadly I had no success
Today finally I disassembled the hinge without any informations about doing this like this:
1. switch the dock into a 90 degree position and unscrew the two torx screws on the backside
(this was the easy part)
2. there are two decals on the inner side of the dock to (partly) remove
if you remove the small one, there is only one screw underneath.
under the big stripe there are 4 - excluding the connector screws - to remove.
3. if this is done you got to use a caseopener tool or anything like that to remove the backside of the dock slot
4. finally you got to fit the four screws you can see now
5. now you should fit everything back togeather and try if it helped, for me it did
maybe some photos will come
so, what should i say as a german guy
Happy Screwing ;D
Some pics or maybe a video would be sweet! My dock hinge has become gradually more and more loose over time.
