So something must be up with my settings. My tablet steadily drains the battery regardless of what settings I change. I've set WiFi to be off at all times when the screen is off but yet I have the drain pictured in the attachment. I've stripped down pretty much all the widgets off my...

Downloaded it as well. Now showing the following versions: Android Version: 4.0.3 GPS Version : V6.9.13 Wi-Fi Version: V6.1.1.18 Bluetooth Version: V9.26 Build number: IML74K.US_epad-9.4.2.14-20120214

Yeah, I'm thinking if it doesn't work out Craig's List or eBay are the way to go with it. It was on ICS and not particularly reset or anything. First thing I did was a full reset and then applied the 1/22 update.

So I went by my local beat buy today and discovered they had an open box prime. I was able to get them to price match the hh Gregg price less 10% because it was an open box. So this meant the tablet was $360. I figured for that money it was worth trying again on the wifi performance. I'm...

Wow, I was intrigued by the buyback program. I hadn't heard about it until you mentioned it so I went and looked at it on BB's website. What a ripoff. For the first six months you get 50% back. For the next six months you get 40% back, from 12-18 months you get 30% and from 18-24 months you...

Sounds like you're getting the run around from bestbuy. I bought mine from bestbuy.com and had no problems returning it in store. I also didn't see anything on the receipt indicating I couldn't return it. Ben

I don't think it's heresy, ICS isn't the panacea. It's a series of small improvements. Some in stability, some in consistency of the interface and some in capabilities. Also keep in mind it's a much smaller change from Honeycomb and 3.x tablet code base than it is the 2.x code base on the...

There's no question that this is always the big question. Do I wait and get something better? Or do I buy now and get something today? In this case I think there's a lot to be said for waiting. The current product has some issues with the design and it's impact on RF (that's impacting...

So now it looks like gizmodo is reporting the same thing, though with a slightly different take on it. It Wouldn't Be CES Without Some a-Wee-Bit Better Tablets. O Hai Asus!. They're reporting the TF700T as the high-end alternative to the TF201's main stream positioning. I dunno if I buy that...

I had to have my first replaced because it changed WiFi MAC addresses every time it was rebooted. The second one has been fine with that problem and seems to have much better battery life. Ben

So it looks like Asus has decided to release a lightly revised version of the prime with a 1920x1200 display and revised back cover design. I saw a google news link to theverge.com's article on it but when I followed the link the article was gone from theverge.com. A little more digging found...

I have a feeling this is exactly the issue. Let's not forget how much trouble Apple has had with metal casing and faraday cages, there's no reason to expect anything different in this case. The previous Transformer TF101 with a plastic casing had no such issues. Certainly an interesting data...

I have definitely noticed there's some variation based upon router configuration. I've not been able to nail down exactly what the parameters are for success and failure though I can confirm that the corporate network at my office using Cisco B/G APs doesn't work well with the Prime.

Unfortunately the place where the wifi performance issue is the most acute is in my office. We use a Cisco managed wireless environment with about 30 radios throughout the office. The upgrade wouldn't be trivial and while it's something we're considering it's not going to happen overnight...

I've had a Xoom for about a year so I thought I knew what I was going to get when I ordered the Prime. A better screen, better size, faster version of basically the same thing. I'd read about the various issues with some early Primes but figured none of them looked like they'd be show...
