I was told when I got my EVO 3D that when I logged into the market place with my Google email every app I previously had on my EVO would download to my new EVO and it didn't happen and I didn't care if it did or not cause I have app brain market and used that to get most of the apps back that I wanted. And some apps on my EVO I didn't want on the 3D.
Well Now I have the new Prime just got it today and I wanted to use my same Gmail as I do on my phone and now every app is downloading and I don't want them all on my tablet. I reset the tablet and then when I put in my gmail and the tablet came up every app that is on my EVO 3D is downloading. I have several apps I don't even want on this tablet. Isn't there a way to make them not all download? Is it a marketplace setting? I can't seem to find it and if I have to I guess I'll just have to go and uninstall all the ones I don't want but there is a bunch. I would rather just install a couple apps at a time that I know I want.
Also lots of people have Ice Cream mine says no updates available. I read is was coming out on the 12th so maybe I will get it tomorrow. I didn't want to set things up till I got updates but mine didn't update anything. I went under firmware update and nothing. Thanks!
I do not know much about the Market ... the only thing I know of is that you could turn off Allow Automatic Updates for each app. That would probably stop it. Lots of work, though.
As far as I know, every U.S. Prime received their update a few days ago...
Since you just got your Prime, perhaps you already have ICS? What is your Android version number under Settings | About Tablet | Android version? If it begins with 4, you are set. Otherwise, you checked Settings | About Tablet | System Firmware Update and clicked the Check Update button, right?
No I'm version 3. something already checked last night. And Asus was actually open late and he said there was nothing I could do. He said I would probably get Ice Cream in a day or two but he also said that once you put in your Google account all apps will download automatically from the market he said there is no way to stop it. He said I'll just have to uninstall the ones I don't want which I did most of them now so I guess I'll be ok. I have to get amazon app store next and then I'll have more to install but those I can pick and choose which ones I want out of all my free apps of the day. I checked the Market to about un checking auto updates but I wanted it for all apps but I didn't see it. So everyone who has an Android phone and uses there same Gmail gets all there apps on the tablet i'm guessing? Now I am confused a little on what apps came with the phone and what are mine that I had on my phone. LOL! Oh well It wasn't so bad deleting the ones I didn't want. There wasn't as many as I thought. I just have lots of games and I am not sure how some will look on here. Nice Tablet though I love it. Thanks!

There is a way.
Actually, there is a way to stop the apps from downloading, but be careful with it. I inadvertently found it when my 170 apps were downloading, and I wanted to interupt them to get an update (pre-ICS) If you go into Market while they are downloading, at the top left you will see "STOP x121" (or whatever number is left to DL. Hit that and they stop. Forever. I had to go back and manualy grab over 100 apps after doing so. Ugh. You think deleing was bad, LOL!
Anyway, a good thing to know if you have multiple devices. Whats weird is, they would not show anymore on the Prim as apps that I have, just on phone. If you go to the web site for Market, you can see whats what, but STILL cannot delete old devices. They have at least 15 divices I no longer own, and you can hide, but not delete... ONE DEVICE. Is Google that retarded that they don't know people buy lots of devices these days?
By the way, it looks like they took down the update to ICS for a while, a thread showed people not getting it, with one exception in New York. Maybe they fixed the rebooting issue and screen issues, but then I would expect to see a new update for mine. Just hang in, and keep manually checking, but first make SURE you see a serial number in Device Status. If not you are SOL, and will need Asus or the store to replace your Prime. There are WAY too many of those out there. Asus did a plain ****ty job rolling these out, as everyone agrees.
I know I went to the Marketplace website I went there to see about disabling everything from downloading. I saw my EVO my EVO 3D my Archos and now this and saw where I couldn't delete. But anyway worked out OK for me to just delete what I didn't want on my tablet. I am guessing it downloaded every app. I found the Amazon app store APK and emailed it to my gmail and now I got a few more apps from there that I wanted. I didn't want all those neither but I got to choose those.
I was up so late messing with this last night and I got up early to mess with it again. I am familiar with Android and HTC Phones but not this tablet. I don't even know how to change my background yet or add an app or widget to screen I long pressed and something else came up. I'll figure it all out though. Oh and I have an 8 gig card that came with my phone I put a 16 in my phone but I wasn't gonna put it in since I was gonna order this 32 gig online for like 28 bucks. I have an app app2SD and it's showing me apps that can be moved sd card but I don't have a card in there yet but everyone's saying you can't move apps. I am wondering if it will let me with this app once I put a card in?

Sounds like me my first few days on the Original Transformer. I was like.. Huh? Cause quite a few things are different from the phone version. I remember specifically the add Widget/app screens, and wasn't sure what I was looking at either, LOL. Even more after ICS udate, but for that you can just go to android.com and get a full feature list, and I believe Engadget has a nice review and list of fun stuff to do. It's more evolutionary than revolutionary, and MOST of what makes it so good is not apparent from the top level interface. It's only when you discover things like swipe to clear recent/running apps and swipe to clear notifications that you start to really admire it.
Hey, anyone know if Asus removed "Swipe to close browser tabs" like they removed the unlock with your Face/camera thing? I haven't been able to do it, but then again, no where do they show you what, specifically to swipe! I have swiped the tab, the title bar, the window, and everything else on screen, to no avail. I must be a bad swiper!
The screen you see after long press is how you add apps, widgets and shortcuts to any of the 5 Desktops (Home Screens, whatever) Yo can hold, then drag to screens or tap and they auto move to whichever screen you came from into the tool.
When you get upgraded to ICS, you can add stuff to Home Screens by just going to Apps, and hold/drag apps and theres a tab for Widgets as well. Heck, take your time. The "discovery" part of all this is the most fun I have, and once you know it all, THATS when it gets boring, so have fun.
BTW, did you check if your serial number shows in "settings, About Tablet, Status?" You need to check that ASAP as it determines if your will get ANY updates, and the only resolution I have heard of is exchenge of hardware. Let us know if you are okay in that regard.
Also if you are on the fence about getting the keyboard, get off the fence and get on the web and order it. It's not 100% perfect, but it is truly an amazing piece, as it was with the OG Transformer, and if anything types BETTER, in spite of it's thinness. The additional battery life ALONE is worth it, but with the shortcut keys, trackpad, ports, and how it becomes one wth the tablet, I can't understand ANYONE who DOESN'T get it.
A guy at work let me attach it to my tablet with the OG, and where I had been "thinking about it" before, I ORDERED it, like 10 minutes later, LOL!

+1 -- the dock/keyboard is amazing IMO. Without the dock, the Prime is just a very good tablet (with a few issues, of course), but, with the keyboard, it's a whole nother beast. I do wonder how users with big, wide fingers do on the keyboard, however ... luckily, my fingers are thin.
What do you mean by swiping to close things? I don't even know how to get to your recent apps. I know about swyping with keyboards. But your saying swipe to close browser tabs and swipe to clear recent apps I don't even know how to get to recent apps. I think it's next to the home button on the right but I have to hit hard to make it close where I see the x you can't just tap it I have to press down on it. But I am guessing that's my most recent apps there and I think it's hard to push the X.
And yes I went under about tablet and status and I do see a serial number in the box. Oh and now it says I have an update check notifications. Is it not like your phone where you can swipe down the notifications window? Now I can't find where to go to Notifications. But yeah I think I will get the dock here soon when I have money. I am always near a plug and don't really need the extra battery but the full USB is kind of nice cause I have a flash drive I put movies on. But for now I'll wait. I did order a case and now I want a clear screen protector and a clear back cover protector and I don't know who to buy from. But Ok thanks for helping me I have to find my notifications window now. LOL!
Edit: I found it you click on the right bottom corner mine was showing me all my downloads and as I started xing them out I saw the firmware update but my battery is on 14% and says battery is getting low. I read the 1st few times I need to fully depleted and fully charge it is that correct? So I need to wait and let it go from 14 to powering off? And i have one more question this my Cloud it says I need a desktop app to access my desktop remotley from tablet is that from anywhere? Like at work I can access a movie or song on my PC. I have Audio Galaxy now that does that but it's only music. I want to take a recorded Tivo show and be able to download it to PC and watch it from tablet cause there big files cause of being in HD. Thanks! (Now it let me swipe app to close after ICS update)

I just find it weird that some of you guys have problems with stuff such as ( I will include why I believe you have issues)
Wifi
You need to change your router settings just play around with it until you get better range usually you need to disable the wireless N function It may also be for you like the second replacement the andand tech guys got where their apple AP was interfering with the prime... Who knows but my router prime combo works wonderful! I can walk all the way to my mailboxes over 500 feet away from my access point through 6 inch walls
GPS
When you are doing a test you need to make sure that the little icon is flashing in the notification area if it is not then change your performance mode and do not touch the screen afterwards this is why you loose a lock! I can navigate for 2 hours without loosing a lock! But if I touch the screen (check email anything) I instantly loose the lock (This appears to me to be a tegra 3 powersaving feature as the GPS is a power vampire) I can drive for 2 hours and constantly keep a lock on 7-11 satellites
lockups+ reboots
( I have no idea why you have issues)
Unkown serial numbers
Seems like someone forgot to input your serial number before boxing it up
Just thought I would post this feel free to put in your own input on these issues

Worst thread ever you fail lockup issues are 100% out of users control and has nothing to do with apps if your going to make a thread like this at least know what your talking about. I won't even waste my breath about the GPS
My own take on the reasons people are having these issues:
Wifi
You're not holding it properly...hold it over your head with your left hand.
GPS
You're not pointing it directly at the satellites.
lockups+ reboots
You only paid $500 for the darned thing...you want it working? That'll cost you at least $1000!!!!
Unknown serial numbers
It's a tablet..not a PC. You can't expect it to remember everything, can you???
Just trying to throw a little humour in.
wow.... just... wow!
I hardly know how to respond. I thought by the title of your thread that you were referring to HARDWARE differences between units. As in why some get crappy GPS performance, and others get HORRENDOUS performance (or NO performance) There is OBVIOUSLY some hardware variance at play here, with the screen banding, ICS failures with Lockups and reboots. A good deal of those updates were done after cold boots, and some even did a Data Wipe/Reset before updating. How would "Bad apps" have caused issues there.
Asus has released an interesting mix of quality, and it's obvious that there are differences. Support has referred in several cases to "Older hardware revisions" but I have seen no Serial number confirmation or otherwise to back that up.
Why is it you can get a lock, and keep it with GPS:
"GPS

when I can not GET a lock? I can, and have done a Data reset, and tested with a) Just Honeycomb 3.2 and b) Just ICS. NO OTHER INSTALLED SOFTWARE. Clear sky, middle of a 9 acre FLAT park with clear views of horizon. I get 2, and sometime 3 satellites of maybe 7-9 to lock, for a spit second, then they lose it. This is with the unit fully charged, powered, and in "Performance Mode" (what used to be "Standard" in Honeycomb) no other apps running.
What do you think the difference COULD be? It's not "bad apps" I will tell you that much.
EDIT: Almost forgot. This is not how to resolve issues:

You need to change your router settings just play around with it until you get better performance
Sure you can tune for better performance, but why should you HAVE TO? All my other devices require no such tuning, they work fine out of the box!

Reboots, crashes can very much be an apps issue. I had a very smooth TFP, which suddenly started misbehaving.
I was pretty frustrated as well, however I started doing my research, for e.g. I went into running apps and could see my available ram drop after boot (from 300 mb used, 700 free to around 700 mb used). By eliminating apps one by one, I got to the culprit and deleted it. Things were soon back to normal. Some apps just haven't been updated to work properly on ICS and that's that. However, if there are crashes off of a fresh install, then thats different.

So I got my DNA on Sunday. So far, I'm pretty happy with it except for one issue. My multitouch seems messed up. If I'm trying to play a game that requires both thumbs, basically the two of them tapping the screen interfere with one another. For example, if I'm playing something like shadowgun, or GTA III, or max payne, or even the preinstalled diablo clone, if I'm moving a character and try to press an attack button at the same time(or in the case of GTA trying to actually steer while driving) the character movement "stick" resets to neutral. and sometimes the reverse will happen. Trying to move will cause the attack button to stop registering. The issue has been "confirmed" by me with multitouch visible test found in the play store. In the test, moving my thumbs around and making them cross axis screws up the touch registering. could anyone confirm or deny that this is happening on their device? Games are basically unplayable. I went into a VZW store today(the only one in my are with the phone in stock) and tried their demo unit and it exhibited the same problem. I was then promptly told by the sales rep that the one device they had was being held for a paid order. Nevermind the fact that I was told over the phone minutes before that the one phone was available and that they DO NOT hold devices for customers. A call to corporate may be in order... Anyway, any thoughts on the multitouch "issue" would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried turning off HTC gestures in Settings -> Display & Gestures? I think the 3 finger swipe for HTC Media Link messes with multi touch
Generally speaking any issues with multitouch are software related. The sensors should be fine its a matter of callibration based on the software. Like the previous poster said it may be due to sense's gesture features. New kernels when they are released will likely fix this but I have never experiencedit. Gonna have to try and reproduce this today.
I've also noticed plenty of issues with multi touch. I've noticed while browsing, if I'm holding the phone with two hands and any portion of my one hand is touching the screen and I'm trying to scroll it won't respond till I remove that skin that is making contact.

I'm pretty sure every phone is like that.
I believe it is the game/app software related. I don't think a lot of them are set up to recognize the larger 5.0"+ screens running resolutions over 720p. We are kinda treading new territory here. I have heard of a few games that don't display correctly on our phones so I don't doubt controls/multi-touch could need some tweaking as well.
I may be wrong but that is my opinion.

More than a few games simply do not work. Its annoying and I may return the DNA for that reason.

Are you becoming part of the "Now" generation that I saw you complain about in another thread?
Games will begin working once app developers start updating for 1080p screens.

No, LOL.
But I have seen these things before, where developers catch up 6 months later. A lot of the games I want to play are Gameloft or EA, and they both are terrible at updating. Horn hasn't been updated since September.
In that case, I can come back in 6 months with a newer device and will be content.
I am definitely patient, and can live with the Gnex a bit longer if I decide to go that route.
Thanks for the replies. I did try turning off HTC gestures last night with no success. I'll have to figure out a way to post a video of it. Basically, in the multitouch test app, If i hold the phone in landscape, as if I'm playing a game, then place both thumbs in the lower corners, it registers fine. However, if I slowly move my left thumb up and down then repeatedly tap the right corner(an action commonly performed in 3D action games) it trips it up and starts reversing the thumb inputs and occasionally introducing a third input even though I only have two fingers on screen. I can't believe that it's just an issue with software, or I'd assume reviews would have pointed to it. It makes games basically unplayable. And I've seen video online of people playing those types of games on the phone without the issue. A video would help. I'll try to figure something out.
Its been like that for some time the phones capability is more than the multi tasking allows I got 7 apps at once any load after that it won't show in recent. Though its slightly better with the app refresh upon switch its much better than my previous HTC the EVO LTE . Still when we got aosp based roms it was much better but with no limit or more on that device it slowed a lot but two gigs in this is great.

So I've "solved" the issue. I actually swapped it out for another phone and then it worked fine and I was happy. Then I re installed holo locker from the play store and started having the same issue. So holo locker WILL break the multi touch capabilities of the DNA. I just e-mailed the dev and hopefully get a response. So again, for anyone using the phone, DO NOT INSTALL HOLO LOCKER. At least not until it's updated.
So I was trying to play Avadon: The Black Fortress that I got from Humble Bundle on my One, and it all runs great except that it only takes up about 60% of the screen, right in the middle. I told me it's not technically compatible with phones and only tablets, but like I said it does all run fine..
Is there anything I can do to bring back the whole 'Screen Compatibility Mode' thing?
I'm all rooted and rom'd, so if there are any mods I'm all for trying.
I also saw something about editing the apk, but I don't wanna screw around with it much unless I really know what I'm doing there or someone can tell me what to change ha..
Thanks much!
Any thoughts?
I bought my phone awhile ago, but really don't have any help to start some of the unique parts of our to work it. I have downloaded the wide app and installed it. The only thing it has when installed is on button to keep every thing the same or something li I like the phone a lot. Just would like to be able to use the lower screen as a keyboard and the top screen to be the main screen. I know there are only a few apps that it will use both screens for but if I can figure out the Wide app then it is suppose to work on all apps.
If I an get some help I would appreciate it. I went in to a T-Mobile store for help and they seem to know less that I do. They said that there isn't much you can do on the second screen and that was about what they told me.
Help would be appreciated to help walk me though this couple things. All the rest of the phone is no problem at all its just the second screen thing.
Thanks,
Bob

This video will show you how to use wide mode. In regards to the keyboard on one screen, you can only do that with the LG keyboard. G board or any 3rd party keyboard is not supported.
Make keyboard fullscreen
