Green Camera fixed with "Pinch" - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

**

Sorry??????
Can you explain a little more?????
Thanks

It's not permanent.
He means that if you pinch the area just below the camera (with your thumb against the screen) if solves the common green camera issue.

I just had my camera working for the first time in months by pinching HARD. It worked for a bit, then I changed modes and it went back to green screen. I would think that means I have a short. Has anyone taken apart their tablet and resecured the connection?

Yes, see my previous thread. Hint, you need a new camera module (eBay). No easy around it unfortunately . New camera (NEW, from the seller that got them from Foxconn/assembly line) DOES fix it though.

ebay link? I've never seen anything..

my camera turned green after 1 week of Jelly bean. About 7 months of use now. Bumps here and there but never a hard impact drop.
I really am skeptical of QC in Asus part. Mine was C2. Let's hope when I RMA it, I get a C3<

Just sent mine in for the green camera problem. I tried the Spock pinch method and it would clear it up but not completly. After a few pinches the camera has never worked again. I have another problem that I had to RMA and it was a good experience overall (execpt the fact that I didn't have my tablet for 10 days).

Don't currently see one for sale, but if you keep checking... well... I have a working camera without trusting the prison inmates working at Asus RMA with my tablet

Do you have a functioning brain? You literally quoted the link I provided to you that explains exactly how to do it and asked "How do I fix it". Do yourself a favor, don't try. Go buy an iPad. They're designed for dense people who can't think for themselves or follow directions.

Grrr... my camera has just died too, and there I was thinking things were much better since the 4.1 upgrade.
Does anyone know how long it will take for an RMA repair in the UK?

I RMA'd for this exact problem and my tab came back absolutely fine. Just putting that out there.

Then what company, in your eyes, does a better job listening to its customers? They listened about the bootloaders, are dropping ICS before everyone even has the tablet and continually innovating (the new TF700).
I'm looking forward to these Negative Nancys leaving the Asus community.

Transformer Prime

Hi guys, I'm wondering if i should get this transformer prime tablet. I've been reading alot of reviews thats its amazing and i don't doubt that, but also have been reading about the issues its been having (Wifi, GPS, Reboots). So im not sure if i should go ahead and make this purchase. Im posting in this thread cause obviously its about the tablet so you guys if not all many should own one. I would highly appreciate any feedback or recommendation from your part. Thanks in advance
Okay, first, there are a TON of threads on whether the Prime is a good tablet to buy. Searching and browsing is strongly recommended.
Second, that said, I'd say that if you want to use it in your car as a GPS device in place of your smartphone or a dedicated navigation unit, then don't get it. If you don't, then get it--you'll love it to pieces.

We are getting a lot of false issue claims too with trolls.....this thing is a beast....and is worth every penny.
Mine works great with the exception of the GPS. The wifi is a bit weaker than the TF101, but more or less identical to my GS2's wifi performance. Would buy it again in a flash.

Well I have been all day searching and reading other posts, and yeah i'm more inclined in getting it now. About the GPS i don't really use it on my phone either so its not a big deal. Just Wi-Fi thats what i mostly use since im home all day just kicking back browsing through the web. But thank you all for your replies. I appreciate your time and help.
My WiFi on my prime is better then my Inspire 4g, my Toshiba Thrive(all plastic) and my desktop running a 3 external antenna setup. I haven't seen any of the other issues that people talk about in my C1 serial Prime so idk what all the fuss is about.

Basically, if you have to use the prime at a location with very weak wifi signals, it might be a bit worse than other devices. Otherwise, wifi works great.

You'd also need special drivers for it to support wifi i guess.
I actually like the design, thought it would get alot worse and i think i'll take one But they could have made another port on the back side somehow, so you could plug in the charging cable while the dongle is attached.

Cool thanks for link and pictures. Maybe this dongle will improve WIFI for some as well.
Well maybe this is why they wont send my RMA back they were waiting on the dongle because according to the website its been done for weeks now but they wont mail it to me and it went in for wifi and gps problems. maybe now the they will send it BACK!!
Great Article!

IMHO it looks like crap...totally ruins the sleek lines of the TFP. Ill take one, but I don't see myself bothering to slap this thing on much. Would have preferred a new backplate.

kind of kills the point in a transformer that can't transform after using the GPS dongle
I expect a newer case with this dongle incorporated into the design. I also hope there is a possibility of a pass thru charging port.
P.S. is Asus just giving us TFP owners this for nothing? Is there a mailing list out that we have to sign up to get it?

More information will be posted in the "Unofficial ASUS" sticky tomorrow (4/16), and a sign-up form will be available then. It's going to be free, and available to every Prime owner (at least in the US, but probably worldwide).
Lots of threads on the topic, including that main one.
Looks... beefy? Passthrough charging is almost necessary. Thats my biggest hope atm. Looks like it will fit in the mounts that are out there, too.

I'm thinking I might pass unless I sell the Prime.

I don't even know how 'reliable' that site is... Every major company (Dell, Apple, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, just to name a few) seems to have majority of negative comments and I personally know they aren't bad with their customer service. At least, not when I (or any friends / people I know) had to deal with them.

Y asus no recall prime?

Why hasn't Asus just gone ahead and issued a recall for the Prime?
It would alleviate SO MANY problems by allowing everyone to return the Prime and get their money back. It would be customer friendly...

ASUS=Big Company, once they have your money they could care less about you, and their garbage device. Besides from their standpoint its to expensive to recall such an old device, especially since they are ignoring its problems.

+1 on the prime recall. It should have been done. It's not that fair that people that purchased them from best buy or amazon got to take them back while the rest of us are stuck. It should have been recalled as soon as the all metal back became a problem. It is a crappy design.

But I would reserve the jackass button for you Joe since you have your companies stuff linked on your profile. Just look at clickonpc.com, its social media presence, its... everything.
Now, if you could go fester in a different pile, lets get a real discussion and maybe input into a recall so that some of us dont get stuff in endless RMA circles.

As much as we would all like the Prime to be recalled... It would also be logical to think that as much Asus would like to solve all of our problems, what's in for them to do that when you've got your money already in their hands ( At least in a direct monetary aspect)
But one would also consider that building a good reputation would carry sales up from consumer trust
Oh well..
