A summary of the Opperation results we got 3k+ petitions on change.org, made over 25 major tech blogs including gizmodo engadget and the verge!
The results from asus
1. They will release ICS January 12th!
2. The GPS is caused mainly by the metal backplate!
3. A tool will be released that will unlock our bootloaders (no eta for this it will also void your warranty at least people in the US)
Be sure to give to me the one who spent a whole day posting and organizing this movment! (tipping the news ect.)
Also their is one other person to give thanks/props to besides yourself and me and that is asus! They handled this PR nightmare very well!
Congratulations team PRIME this just shows how powerful we can be towards a company when we work join forces TOGETHER! Now we know in the future how to get what we deserve as paying customer's from a company!

Deservedly so. Thanks for your efforts.
impressive what social media can do these days.
Now bombard them for a real GPS fix, either new backplate or other quality work-around.

Hey you infringed on copyright and branding rights. I first came out with Team Prime. the movement against negativity towards the Prime. check the post dates n you will see...you will be hearing from our legal team lmfao
great work by all those involved. since this was for a good cause, we'll let it slide this time
Btw...its spelled "operation"
TF201 | XDA Premium
WOW Congratulations team PRIME. Great job.
I really was not sure if ASUS will give a F&*^K about us! But this differential will change a lot of things going froward.
One thing, I know that ASUS have removed the GPS from prime details! DO they will keep the GPS hardware in future reproduce of Prime or they will remove it?
Amazing news for us.
Owners of the Transformer Prime will be the first ones to get Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0.
Asus is also releasing, version 8.8.3.33, this will improve the focus of the camera, the fluidity of the touch experience, and the APK capabilities in Android Market.

I wonder if the ICS update will even get a push back from the Jan. 12th date like the crazy number of times the prime got pushed back...
At this point, I don't even think I'll be surprised anymore if ASUS does not follow through.

Not to be a glass half empty kinda guy but I am going to keep my finger cross. Asus hasn't been doing that well their timetable lately.
There have been massive bombs on the Asus facebook page (North America) about asus discontinuing their products??!?! can anyone confirm this? The closest proof I have is this website saying that its discontinued. If anyone knows, that would be great!!
I have a website saying it on excaliber pc.com (for some reason, it wont let me post a website)

No offense, but seriously? You can't find any threads on this? Crazy.
It's debunked because in at least one of those threads that you can't find, an ASUS rep has stated unequivocally that the TF201 isn't being discontinued. Certainly, we have to go by his word vs. random speculation based on confusing and unclear retailer out-of-stock verbiage?
Guy at bestbuy here told me they didn't expect anymore stock and they pulled the display materials.

Looks like Asus gets a big fat FAIL for communicating with their vendors also.
So is it or isn't it? I don't want a product which was in stores for like a month and then pulled back. I mean, what the F are those guys there over at Asus doing?

Why it will be the best performing quadcore tablet! Because of the resolution! Will be lower than the other ones! Everyone will be playing shadowgun at 30fps and you can play it at 60fps. And it will be a limited edition! Plus it has one of the coolest names for a tablet!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Apparently an Asus rep said that it is not discontinued. Honestly said, its hard to find out if its true or not. Then again though, they are selling alot. Im not sure though how many are returning theirs back. But if I had a product that is failing, I wouldn't tell people that its becoming discontinued.
TF201-Not Discontinued
Quoting Gary from Asus: "The TF201 is not discontinued. I have no idea how many times this needs to be said but the TF201 is not discontinued."
Although the product may not be discontinued, it does feel like ASUS is not committed to this platfom given the information retailers are providing.
Can ASUS please state:
1) Is ASUS continuing to manufacture the TF201?
2) How long does ASUS expect to continue manufacturing the TF201?
3) Is there a reason why some retailers are no longer accepting orders and why other retailers are just not even selling it anymore?
4) Is ASUS committed to the Tegra-3 processor?
5) How long can buyers expect to receive firmware and other software updates to the TF201 platform?
Appreciate your help with putting this to bed.
Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.
My hope is that the current model is being discontinued for a newer model with a fixed backplate, and that we early adopters can exchange our models for the newer one. Otherwise...well....I don't know what to say.

Haha thanks for telling me but draw something is actually a game. Friends can draw something and you need to guess what they drawed. So you get points etc etc.. it's really funny.
But there is no-one who can help us out or maybe port it to the wildfire?
Email the developer and ask for qvga support. Oh and its an awesome game, I like trolling my friends on it. Its the mobile version of draw my thing by omgpop btw

Sended an email. I will tell their reply here!
I've sent an e-mail aswell!
For those who wants to get help with this game, there is a tool for you at drawanswer.com It's pretty cool!
reply from OMGPOP - draw something
I tried it too and got this error: "Error (Marmalade v5.2.1 [300266]) - This build does not support SW rendering, and the device does not have HW support."
Also tried the new patch 1.3.6 Final. Still not working. same error.
So I made up an email to OMGPOP, and got an automaticly generated reply which contained something about the facebook plugin which will be patched soon because of the crashes. And a message, "one of the developers will reply soon".
(Attached the 1.3.6 patch, Maybe someone got a solution?)
I think we're doomed with our Wildfires
I still don't got a replay
Anyway, which email adress did you contacted?
I got the same error btw.

I sended like 5 times an email but yet no response. Anyone else?
I've seen the game on other phones, and judging from the effects and transitions etc, I think the game requires OpenGL ES 2. Our phone doesn't support that. Maybe we could ask the developers to create a "Lite" version without those effects, for older/cheaper phones like ours. I don't think they'll do it (as they don't even respond to other emails), but it's worth a try.
Hey guys I got finnaly my reply today. And it's good news
This is what they said:
Joseph, Mar 22 14:13 (EDT):
Hey Mark,
We are looking into supporting more devices and platforms in the future. There are some cases that will need to be solved by an app update we're working on. We're working as efficiently as we can to push out the next update soon! The Wildfire request has been very popular, so we will definitely work on it!
Thank you for your patience!
Best,
Joseph

This is not about the operating system or the cpu, this is about the gpu,the graphics chip. The Wildfire doesn't have one, so it doesn't support OpenGL ES 2 (the grapics API which Draw Something uses), so it doesn't work. More expensive phones do have a gpu which supports OpenGL ES 2 and therefore can run Draw Something and other games, even if they have the came cpu and operating system as the Wildfire.
I want this game too
the reviews are really nice..
Been a while since i posted here as my wildfire died, i have a galaxy mini now, i decompiled Draw Something to try and re-size it for my phone, couldn't manage it, gonna try again.... but best to email the dev's and ask for it to be supported
I'm not sure if anyone has posted about this. Pretty sure they haven't. It would appear Asus plans on giving us nvflash! You can find the official post in the official gary key product update thread. Here's the quote,
" 4/27/2012 Update -We are still validating a new firmware release. We are also tracking user reported issues with Tegra 3 games, WiFi Direct and some continued random reboot/lock problems with a few units. Based on current regression testing at HQ, NVIDIA and Google it appears we will need to sway out a few units to pinpoint exact user problems. For the unlocked audience, we have requested a version of NVFlash that works properly for users who unlocked their units."
Very glad to see this! Hopefully nvflash will hit soon!

The big thing I think is that NVFlash allows you to recover bricked units.

Correct, it should allow total recovery even if you get the unrecoverable bootloader error that some peoples units are suffering from.
It should hopefully aid development of native Ubuntu for the Prime also.
This is great for an idiot like myself!
I knew I started drinking at 9am for a reason today!!!

It will also allow for reverting back to stock ROM so that the tablet can be sold to anyone!

Well sorry but the prime will never be able to run Windows 8 sorry.
I have been waiting patiently for this tool for sometime now, got a rma ticket open eventually and Im considering shipping it back overseas (where I bought it), but after a few reports of packages coming back dented, scratched or deformed, Im a bit hesitent to go ahead. If this tool is near on the horizon, I'll wait it out further. Come on ASUS, nvidia, google make our day!
