Well unfortunately I cannot wait no longer on this issue, as my return window was quickly running out, so I am just going to return this thing...Gary & ASUS will have another problem unit from this thread to test, this one coming their way via Office Depot return. BCO S/N, and PMed to Gary previously.
I am now weighing my options and considering getting another 32GB TP, possibly getting the 64GB TP, or just taking back the keyboard and the whole deal and just waiting for the next best thing Android...be it the 700T, or whatever else comes out in the meantime. I probably will give ASUS one more shot on a TP, just wondering if the 64GB will have all of the same problems. I am speculating here, but I imagine that these WIFI/BT problems are more widespread then we all think, and that A LOT of people just haven't stumbled across a situation where the WIFI/BT problem becomes apparent.
My problem became apparent while streaming music via BT to a Motorola BT audio receiver unit that is hooked to my home stereo receiver. Basically I would stream Pandora audio via BT to my home stereo system, but intermittently the audio would stop, and when I would check the tablet dashboard it would say that there was NO INTERNET CONNECTION. Then the WIFI would start back up again, and then after a few minutes the cycle repeats. It would do this with Pandora, IheartRadio, and when streaming music from computer via WIFI thru the TP and out to stereo via BT.
If I turn off BT and connect to the home stereo's portable input via a cable hooked to the TP headphone jack, there is NO PROBLEM at all with the WIFI dropping out.
The last straw with my decision to return was a pesky problem that I have not seen talked about anywhere yet(and not related to this thread either), and being that I hadn't seen it discussed, I figured my TP might be even more of a lemon then all of yours(lol) with it's own unique problems, and so I had to just return it now while I still could. This problem was that the top 1/2" or so of the screen would become unresponsive after exiting some apps. The app didn't seem to matter, as it happened when I exited several. No buttons at the top would work, nor would any swipe actions there. If I flipped the screen 180 degrees, the unresponsive area would follow the flip, so the unresponsive would then be on the bottom. Only way to fix it was to turn the unit off, then back on, and then it was fine. This problem sounds SW based, since it was fixed with a reset, but if very few people are having the problem I would be a fool to hold my breath hoping for the issue to be addressed.
Anyways, good luck everyone, and if I end up getting another TP I will be back on here to post my new SN and let everyone know whether or not the new unit has the same problems.
For users still experiencing the drop out problem with WiFi/BT enabled, we expect to release a statement shortly (edited for clarification).
