Last year, HTC released plenty of devices, and the year before that they followed the same routine.

As we have seen in the past, all it takes to fix a root/jailbreak situation is a software update. That happened with the latest bit of maintenance that released for the Transformer Prime by ASUS.

The Transformer Prime quad-core tablet by ASUS has been out for awhile, and as we've reported in the past the device isn't the best when it comes to a GPS signal.
