Okay so i was just reading the thread and got me wondering, if it was a loose connection on the camera , so i squeezed the screen with both finger and thump either side of the camera and low and behold it is working again.. give it a try could be down to more shoddy asus craftsmanship. give it a go be interested to see the findings, planning on a massive asus shout via trading standards on Monday for a full refund..

Same happened to my tp and I thought it was a bad flash or something until last night I decided to squeeze the camera and it work, only for a few seconds before I had to do it again... Im really not surprise by the craftmanship since they sold us a device with poor wifi and GPS to begin with!
Son of a beach.. WOW - you guys are right. My Camera has been out for months. happened to read this and tried it. Boom - camera works.
I used to really like this Prime - I was such an advocate.. but now my hinge on the keyboard is so loose, GPS sucks, Wifi issue, camera green - well up till now... This thing is actually a great feature set in a pile of junk!
Thanks Guys for the tip.
I just encountered this problem today.... 2 weeks after my warranty has expired. Anyway I squeezed the camera area and it appears to have fixed itself. I have never dropped this tablet and treat it with kid gloves so not sure how the connectors could have come loose. Hope the fix holds.
I really wish Asus would have recalled this tablet. As much as i hate apple products you could be sure they would have recalled it if they had this many issues.

This sounds a lot like the squeeze fix for bad wifi signal that was discussed a long time ago. I wounder if they used the same type of connector for the camera and the wifi antennas.
Well that fix didn't last long. Camera is now doing the green thing again and this time I can't get it to go back to normal. Piece of crap! This is honestly the first time I have every had a piece of electronics fail on me. I am tired of paying top dollar for cheap crap.

I also have the same problem. Camera broke weeks after I had owned it for a year. In the UK we were all offered our money back or an extension of the warranty to 18 months. I thought I had the 18 month warranty. Asus are telling me they have no record of it and are currently refusing to fix this obvious manufacturing defect. I am the original owner of the tablet and registered it in their VIP website when I got it.
For some inexplicable reason I still like my tablet though. I just don't like Asus, in particular their (lack of) customer support. I think they should be a little kinder to their beta testers. i.e. anyone that bought a Prime from new.
Oh... and the temp fix doesn't work for long.

same thing, green completely garbled screen, pushed on either side of the camera and it fixed itself... won't stay though
This is interesting. I just logged onto the asus site to check my registered products and my prime is not listed either. The only item listed is my Asus motherboard. I know 100% that I registered the tablet.... in fact you had to in order to receive the GPS Dongle. Looks like Asus really wants to forget the prime even existed by blowing away all the records.

FIX!!!
Ladies and gentlemen,
I believe I have a fix for green screen camera. After trying many, many things, including flashing rom, I cleared cache and data for gallery app and voilà - camera is working like new. Give it a go.
I just tried clearing the data and cache for the gallery app but it did not fix my problem.

Mine wasn't. The pressure method didn't work but clearing the gallery cache and data did. The TF camera must have multiple issues....
OK, so the camera issue had returned today. I tried what worked before (clearing gallery cache and data) with no success. Then I booted into recovery and ran "Fix Permissions". When my Prime booted up camera was working again. I'm thinking that in my case it may not be a hardware issue but a software one. I just wish I'd know exactly what causes it.
touching the connections on the camera PCB fixes mine, but it's rather impractical to crack open the prime every time I want to take a photo... Either an instability (oscillation), dry joint or broken connection of the flex-pcb is my guess.
Omg. So glad I found this post. I tried it and lo and behold it worked. Thank you for taking the time to post the solution.

I'm hearing nothing but problems. I hear the majority of primes have some form of defect. It seems to me that ASUS screwed up pretty royally with there launch.
I'm in canada and i have a preorder on some small time website. Whats the story? is it only these first few that have defects?
I doubt i would be able to return it to my retailer so im really worried about getting a defected model.
Most things are some small issues so worst that happens is you keep it for a few weeks until stocks fill up and can exchange
My hunch is that the first batch of Primes were defective. ASUS halted the shipment to Canada and delayed the shipment to the US so they could examine existing Prime inventory and correct the wifi problem. They likely had to open each prime to fix it, which likely caused new problems which seen reported here like the Prime screens bleeding light, and looseness, and markings on the basel.
Hopefully those who are waiting in pre-order hell will be the lucky ones who will get the next new batch of Primes fresh off the conveyor belt with the wifi problem fixed.
That's my hunch.

screen bleeding, bad wifi, something else.. lol (not dead pixel, could care less)
plus a couple of peoples are just crapping out on them. those issues would bug the crap out of me.
and i couldn't return it to my provider, but could i return it to ASUS?
If your retailer had them in stock you could return it to them if not have to go through asus
As for issues don't worry many people have perfect tablets some just got unlucky Asus will sort it all out

tell you what. my prime is perfect. not a problem at all.
Mines not. My gamestop prime has horrid wifi screen bleeding and no gps... It actually just rebooted after freezing while viewing this very thread... I just want the tablet to work... I hope gamestop will exchange it with a version thatcomes in jan or feb... Im not even a room over and i am between -70 and -80 on wifi analyzer.... Awful.... But i am willing to wait if it means i can get working prime
kinda makes me glad I didn't get a prime now. after going 4 tfs I wondered if asus could do better with their second Gen tablet... doesn't seem like they've done much qc this go round either.
guess I'll be getting another Sammy when they get released.
I've been using mine all day long, haven't noticed any problems with mine, no screen bleed...wifi works good for my situation, only thing I can see wrong is it looks like I may have one dead pixel but it doesn't bother me enough..plus if it does bother me ill just wait a little but for fresher models

I'm actually glad I ordered my 64 GB now... once I accepted the fact that I wasn't going to get it before Christmas, I am glad and hopeful that some of these initial problems might be ironed out & better quality control put in place, in the next few weeks before I'm expected to receive mine; the rush to push the product out before the holidays being over now.

My Prime is working great. Everything works well including wi-fi and GPS.
No bleeding, battery is great and no lagginess whatsoever, no matter what I am doing.
I doubt "the majority" have problems. It's just that people are more likely to post their problems with their Primes (in the hopes to get them fixed) than others whose Primes are working well.
It's certainly not a clean launch by any means. But to say the majority of Primes are defective is a jumping to conclusions.
If your unit is defective, return it for a new one.
Just got to open mine today for Christmas, although it arrived from Newegg 2 days ago. I also got the docking station. Knock on wood, mine seem to be working just fine so far.
heh...mine was working flawlessly...that is until I charged it to 100% and powered it off. It now will not turn on so I guess I got a nice shiny cutting board for Christmas.

Not to make light of the situation, but it probably would make a good cutting board - did you see the video of that guy cutting apples on the screen? You would need to make sure the juices don't ruin the circuit board, though.

Yup, just there is but it did nothing when I pushed it. The only life in the unit is a green LED when the charger's plugged into the wall. It doesn't even show up on my PC when I plug it in. Good and truly dead it seems.
At least I got a couple of hours out of it before it died. Other than the whole catastrophic power failure thing it was a real pleasure to use...except maybe for the vibration...it also seemed a little busted.

Every new tablet had it's issue. Look at all the early threads for each tablet. Some people had issues, some people didn't. Your choice whether you want to venture down that road or wait. But what I have seen is that the later models, it has taken longer to get root because the development had the earlier models.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Hey everyone,
I've been wanting a Prime ever since I heard about it last December, and I've decided to purchase it within the upcoming weeks. However, while reading around about all the problems I am now a bit hesitant -- I don't want to be stuck with a defective Prime after the return period is up.
So I was wondering what I should be looking as far as problems with my Prime goes?
A list of problems would be appreciated.

Take a very close look at screen. Lightbleed around the edge, dead pixels and LCD mura which are bright spots, check for this on a white background. Other than that check WiFi is OK for u and all adaptors, SD USB etc all work OK.

Thanks guys, but I've been thinking about it too much and now I'm considering waiting off til Juneish to get the TF700 instead. This way I wouldn't have to worry about many of the problems that come along with the Prime.
Any thoughts on this? I really want the Prime, but the potential for problems makes me look to its successor.
Once I updated my TF201 to Jellybean, I noticed my Backfacing Camera will not function properly. It will flicker multiple colors and sometimes just show green. My front facing camera is working flawlessly. Anyone having the same problem? If not, then I know it isn't a software issue...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium HD app
This is a hardware issue, just a coincidence you noticed it now. There is a thread here about the back green camera. I had to RMA mine to get it fixed. Nothing to do with JB, I think. Now, if only i could get mine updated. Initial update failed, and now it wont find it again
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
Yea, as already stated it is hardware, I had the same freaking problem. Luckily the RMA only took 5 days though.
Happened to me the day I OTAed Jelly Bean, soit sure seems related. Any fixes posted other than RMA?
I got my prime second hand from the old lady and when I went to use the camera I got the same green camera photo
I find if I pinch the case by the camera I can get it to work. Now I'm debating on the RMA. Will they ship me a new one or a refurb? I'm quite happy with my Prime and I'd hate to get a lemon that everyone else is complaining about. Not too excited about loosing all my customization either.
So i'm considering getting a Prime as a replacement tablet and keep reading horror stories about the Wifi. I'm not planning on using the GPS which is also reported as bad .But the Wifi reports of not being able to connect and super slow speeds is really concerning.
I wanted to get some opinions from real users to see if it's legit or overblown.
Thanks!

Do not buy products from Asus, especially not the Transformer Prime it has so many defects that you really don't want to know...
You are gonna regret you purchase A LOT!
Just don't buy Asus products not worth it, and the lack of support for this device is just hilarious.
Don't expect using mouse & keyboard for FPS games, you have to purchase and/or download some fixes/apps to fix stability and get the most out of the device one example is TouchScreenTuner.
However if Ubuntu(would prefer Archlinux though) get's a stable port from lilsteve then I won't care that I have Wireless Issues or GPS issues.
honestly, i just got a new prime from asus (5th time) and it gets 25 down 5 up speed wise and kicks ass , the finally fixed whatever the issue was ... actually i even got a keyboard for it because i decided that it was good enough...but it does have scratch on the back however there rma facility ..has issues so i would recommend taking pics and a video before you send it. good tech support though...email tien he will help.

I had to move my router to the middle of the room to get decent wifi, where my DesireHD had no problems.
This meant getting a very expensive good shielded COAX cable for my cable modem/router which has wifi built inside.
And Asus RMA is a joke. If you would need 5 new primes, they should have given you a refund.
Since I'm going to be buying it used, would it still be covered under any type or warranty or recall?? I won't have any receipts or anything.
I'm so confused. Some people say it's the worst tablet ever and can't get a signal and others say it's perfectly fine.

That is a crapshoot. If the guy registered probably no warranty for you. You would need receipt and it would have to be under a year since purchase. Further if they unlocked it you get no warranty either. (if you don't know the unlock process goes to the ASUS site for the unlock code for each device that is how they know its not ambiguous)
Considering the above, the odds are low you would get warranty.
If you are talking ebay make sure the eBay guarantee is in effect on the product and everything is spelled out on the auction like not unlocked, and other details.
You are definately taking a risk but if they say x or y works in the auction and it doesnt you can make a case with ebay.
I have one and iit works fine.

I've bought tf201 one year ago, but I took 8 months of troubles and 4 rma to abtain an usable device.
After motherboard substitution, I had a light wifi improvement....but performance is lower than other devices, including smarphones! Those problems are caused by alluminium backplate.
I was forced to buy a range extender to use my tablet all over my home.
Not to forget poor battery performance. using tablet in power saving mode, low display brightness and wifi on, browsing internet and reading email last no more than 5 hours.
