**UPDATED AGAIN: Video of my Prime's Touch Screen Malfunctioning
- I know it's a little early to be celebrating since I only just cracked it open, but I just got my replacement Prime and the difference on the touch screen is day and night compared to my first. Plus I double checked and it came with .27 right out of the box. So I'm super stoked cause typing on it is great and that's before the update.
It's just finished downloading the .33 update so we'll see how everything is after that. I'm very encouraged though.
Stay tuned...01-06-2012 02:04 PMLike 0 - I know it's a little early to be celebrating since I only just cracked it open, but I just got my replacement Prime and the difference on the touch screen is day and night compared to my first.

Great!! :-D01-06-2012 04:10 PMLike 0 - I am so happy for you! That is really great news! Just goes to show, if you really have something wrong with yours, it's definitely possible to take it back and get one that works correctly! :-) Congratulations man!01-06-2012 05:45 PMLike 0

The only thing I can find wrong is the haptic feedback. It definitely sounds weird. Kind of rattly. The first Prime I had the haptic feed back motor was solid and strong. I got a real confident buzz when clicking something. This one is weak and has a faint lose sounding rattle. But I just turned it off and am going to pretend it doesn't have it, since everything else is great (with the exception of a little lag in the default browser, but I don't use that).
By the way, you were right. I'm really digging the Chamagne color :-)01-06-2012 09:13 PMLike 0 - Hahaha yeah just turn the haptic off unless you really like it. I don't use it except for notifications of e-mail/google+ or when I turn the tablet on/off. Otherwise, I don't like keyboards that vibrate anyway. If I had to receive a prime that has a problem with it, I'd definitely want it to be the vibration motor.
Glad you like the champagne. It's not as bad as most people seem to think - quite silver-gold-ish. :-)01-06-2012 09:41 PMLike 0 -
Thanks for your interest.

Loved your ending to this one btw, lol. Hoping that weak vibration is your only issue from here on out :-)01-06-2012 10:10 PMLike 0

I got home, had some dinner, went over and sat down to do some CES reading and turned it on and wamo. Its shot. I'm not rooted and haven't even installed anything in over 24 hours. I can't even get to the settings to do a hard reset and rebooting doesnt work :-( this sucks.
This is before a reboot...

This is after a reboot...

When I click back or the alerts to get a menu nothing happens.
I'm just at a loss for words.
I guess now I'll wait a little bit before taking the plunge again.
Good luck to everyone. Hope you do better than I have.
