Wow, that is some slow autofocus, then! Is there any way to prefocus (same thing as half-pressing the shutter button on a compact or SLR camera), or can focus be set manually? If so, how's the lag excluding the focus operation?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Yes there is. By using a different camera app. The honeycomb default still camera app is too basic for my liking. I usually use Camera360Ultimate but it needs an update for honeycomb (it doesnt use the whole screen as the viewfinder, only a tiny section). It's still usable however, and handy for the pre-focussing option that you mention. There's no lag with that one.

As for the video camera option they have fixed that now. And the default android app seems decent enough for my needs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Great, thanks for the info! The video update was the most important thing for me, but I'm glad to see there's a workaround for the shutter lag, too.

AF can probably be improved in firmware too, though, depending on how it's implemented. It'll be contrast detection, so if they improve their CDAF algorithms, they can potentially make significant steps forward. I had a firmware update for my previous DSLR that almost halved the time taken for CDAF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
No problem. Yes I'm sure they can do stuff to improve things, but it seems atm that they are concentrating on major bugs first, and dealing with smaller things (hopefully) later. It's going well so far. Just hope they keep putting out updates for a couple months yet and keep supporting their device, and I'm sure it will do well for their sales.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
I'm guessing support will be good once the stock's out there -- I noticed they've already soft-announced the next accessory (a USB / charge dock with no keyboard). That implies they're planning on building an ecosystem, and to do that, you need to show your customers some TLC. ;-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
I can confirm the US transformer is on update 1, but no layar, myZine or myCloud installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] case0:
This is weird. I finally allowed my update to install (the first one) but my kernel number and build match that of the original screenshot? It must have changed some stuff at least because I now have the myzine widget and the cloud storage app, layar etc.

Also it says in settings that there's an update (the second I guess) but its not showing up in system notifications :S
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
I've updated the first post reflecting this new info. As there may be fragmentation of any future fota updates due to the tablet now being available in different countries, I'll keep it updated as much as possible.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ELTinos:
Pre-update the recorded videos where awful, thank god they corrected this with the last OTA. Can someone record a video and put it online for us to see?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] case0:
As mine was bought it the UK though shouldn't it be the same as yours? Also my transformer downloaded the ota a while ago, when it was pushed to everyone else's. :S
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Depends on when you bought it. Got mine on the 8th i think. I guess there were different shipments too. Some were delayed at customs or something.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] case0:
Hmm I got mine on the 9th. Just seems strange that I've updated but still running an old build and kernel.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Oh well I don't know either. As long as its working the way it should its all good. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Is there any way of getting the first OTA update without getting the second? I get my device tomorrow and the first update looks like it has a lot of changes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Unless it's pre-loaded, I doubt it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jimbob1971:
Sorry for being obtuse, but if I have taken the first update is there any reason why i shouldn't take the second? What was that quote about this one not allowing future rooting?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
You can try the Revolver ROM which will keep you rooted.

WMV Support Added in Latest Firmware

Please add WMV support to the list of things in the latest release.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AcidCool2K:
Wow, that is now supported? Way to go Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
What makes you think WMV is supported please? Some stock app run it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eddiezane:
Anyone having wifi connectivity issues when bringing their tf out of sleep with the latest update? I have to do a reboot to reconnect to any network. 100% stock btw.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josephislee:
Hmm, my wifi is completely normal. Seems like I'm even getting better signal too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dburckh:
I copied Wildlife.wmv over from my PC (VC-1, WMA-2) and it plays off the SD card in Gallery. It definately didn't work before.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
This happens to me if I set it to turn off wifi when sleeping. If I set it to keep wifi on all of the time it does not happen. But then it uses lots more battery of course.

Update Number 2

Just received another update, this one was a firmware update for the dock. It seems to have helped considering I am able to reply to this thread with much ease!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] digitheatre:
hmm..interesting..anyone else can confirm there is another update for dock today?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vdpluijm:
What is new? dock firmware version #
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BigNerdBlog:
I don't see an update for the dock, mine says EP101-0209 for the version which was done in the 3.1 HC update.

As for the WiFi, as I said in my previous post, it works better now, switched between different networks easily... I even changed the WiFi disconnect policy to disconnect when the screen turns off and it's still working as expected.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FIJIBanks:
So...

I just unrooted my TF (kind of sad), reflashed the ROM from Asus, went to check for an update, and now I don't have any updates. I am on Build number HMJ37.US_epad-8.4.4.5-20110527, kernal version 2.6.36.3-00001-gf377a2b.

Am I missing something? BTW, I am in the US, Indiana to be exact.

Thanks,

Josh

EDIT: I just noticed that the serial number that my TF shows is not the same as the sticker on the bottom of the TF. Is that an issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nascar Dog:
I just did the same thing and do not see the 8.4.4.11 update now.

It was there a few days ago...

That serial number is not for the Transformer, it's an internal one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FIJIBanks:
Well this just sucks then...no root, no update...BAHH!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BigNerdBlog:
My build is 8.4.4.11-20110711 and my kernel is 3-00011-g3eb19ec.

Wifi is v5.1.50, BT is v6.17.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FIJIBanks:
So has anyone rooted, then unrooted, then tried to get OTA working again?

I have been checking some other forums, and it sounds like a problem exists.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] abaddonna:
I used the pure root method described in the development thread and received the 8.44.11 update without unrooting. This update removed my root. Today i received a docking station update however my current version is EP101-0209 as stated by binerdblog. All on WW transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yhw22:
Hi, it looks like the sudden of death (black screen) issue is back, I had experienced it once after the latest update to 8.4.4.11. I will monitor it to see the problem still exist. :(

Update

Can someone post the US update for me to download. Tired of waiting and cant find it antwhere, including asus ftp.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hwharwig:
So far not happy with new build 4.4.11... Battery drain like hell... See picture (attachment) just after last charging. Mostly being in sleeping mode except the hick-up, at that time stopped some services...

Anyway to go back to previous build?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jaytman7:
I disagree with the battery usage complaint on this version. I have been running unplugged since I updated and haven't even completely drained the keyboard yet. You must have some gps settings on or multiple pages open in your browsers at all times.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vdpluijm:
I did more testing and the tablet's battery works fine when undocked. It sleeps and disconnects wifi after a period of time. The drain of the docked battery is not explained, however. I believe that the unit does not really sleep when it is being charged (through outlet or dock), allowing programs to remain active that consume power.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikewestlake:
I just did the unroot method and it didn't work until I applied the 8445 update as listed in the third step. after that, the 84411 appeared and worked.

now just have to root again and restore TF to working condition.

EDIT: I followed this web site for unrooting and updating.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sanderfox:
Hi,

Has anyone else tried connecting a MS Wireless Gaming Receiver to their TF to get Xbox 360 controllers working? I connected it to my dock's USB ports, but that resulted in the TF rebooting and getting stuck in a boot loop. I am running the Prime 1.6 rom, but am wondering if people have this same problem on stock or if this is a Prime issue. Thanks for any help! :)

What files did you use to re-root? I just finished flashing with the instructions from that site, and now I am just trying to get functional again.

Thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] vdpluijm:
After some testing and remembering behavior prior to firmware "upgrade", it seems that old docks (b40/b50) have a new problem with sleep/awake setting (and new docks have that problem resolved). Robbing Peter to pay Paul .... Submitted an RMA for my dock as no solution seems available.

disable keyboard warning

I notice the posted change log for the latest update lists an option to disable the warning to switch to default keyboard after docking. Has anyone found where this is? Interesting cause my warnings stopped but i did not change anything. I use Thumb Keyboard undocked. Wondering if matters if i don't switch back after docking. If so (I assume there is a purpose for the warning) then i want the warning back!

So does the warning not show by default now or is there something wrong on my tablet? Did everyone stop getting the warning automatically after the update like I did?

Has anyone found that new option?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] miata_75:
Guys i am not sure if already mentioned but i post it here and hope that there will be a solution with the future's updates :

When selecting in Asus keyboard's settings the audible touch tones, the standard click volume is too loud and cannot be adjusted by the sound settings.

The only solution for that till now is to download from Market the audiomanager application which has a system volume setting where you can decrease the standard volume.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ttyori:
Before the update , the email application would crash everytime I tried to add an IMAP account (never had any problems witbh POP or exchange). After the update, I'm finally able to use my university IMAP account also!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jms_uk:
Is it worth mentioning in the changelog that work has definitely been done to the stock browser to improve "lag" when using forums like these? :) I've definitely noticed it, but haven't trawled through the most recent pages of posts to see if others have.. and didn't notice it on the changelog..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hwharwig:
With Android Asistent I give the transformer a quick boost and sometimes I noticed (by using "wheres my droid power") that the standard launcher (always on top, so using most of the power) uses about 10%, sometimes even more than 10%. But I have also seen that this launcher (also on top) uses 0,8%...

1. Is there a log-app that logs the usage also during sleeping mode? Then it would be possible to see all that's happening, sleeping and awake...

2. Is there a way to close apps (sometimes I noticed email or facebook or book readers still active so using power in sleeping mode) when I close the tablet/ put it in sleeping mode?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marcmarshall:
Would anyone who is running the latest July update give me some feedback on this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] human_error:
I've checked the settings and there is an option under input for prompting for input method - the options being automatic, always on and always off. I'm assuming this is the new setting as I can't think of anything else that it relates to.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marcmarshall:
I had that option before the update. It didn't do anything before and it still does nothing.

Do you still get the keyboard warning? I never get it now. Anyone out there also not getting the warning message? I want to confirm if I have a problem since the update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Emhyr:
Well, not getting the warning either since the update. I've just checked the box and it has never appeared again, so I think this is normal, don't worry ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marcmarshall:
Well I'm glad someone finally chimed in and that is good to know. Now I am just wondering if keeping Thumb Keyboard enabled when the unit is docked actually caused any problems. If it does I prefer to have the warning as a reminder.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marcmarshall:
BTW- I never checked anything, it just went away. Checking "automatic", "always show", or "never show" does nothing for me.

Just curious- If you change the option does the warning come back?

OTA update to 3.2

Done!

This morning, my Singapore bought TF got upgraded automatically to 3.2

Have not played around much yet..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josephislee:
just a warning, when you update to 3.2 the mouse pointer becomes a circle.. like the window loading logo.. and its permanent .. just a heads up -.-
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yhw22:
From:ASUS Singapore FB

The Andriod 3.2 update features:

1. Compatibility Zoom: Smart zoom smartphone apps to the native display resolution

2. Multi-gesture touchpad and touchscreen: use the keyboard dock touchpad in the same way as the multi-touch display
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AvRS:
About time they added multi-gesture on the touchpad, looking forward to getting this installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
UK update is due the second of August according to Asus UK comments on their Facebook wall.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chen2008:
Yes in the beginning I thought the system was still loading, then I realised they made this stupid change..quite irritating. I hope this is not because Microsoft or Oracle has patented the mouse pointer cursor.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DroidxRage:
Not having had seen it yet, it could be to imitate more the surface area that your finger might have. Although that kinda defeats the purpose of the mouse pointer IMO.

And LOL @ MS and Oracle comment. It's funny because it's true. :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] uncorq:
I'm rooted latest Prime, etc. However I would consider unrooting if I thought this update improved browssssser typinnnnng lagggggg. (both with dock AND onscreen keyboard) :D - anyone with the update, has this improved?

I see "bugfixes" in the general changelog, but it doesn't seems to specifically mention which bugs.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Quite a few folks from Taiwan have already confirmed that there is no improvement to browser typing lag.

The above is the latest version for 3.2
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Well, that's cool. You're the first person that's said they've noticed any improvement, at least, that I've seen (but I'm watching the main threads quite closely). I didn't know previously, because you hadn't mentioned it previously.

So we've got one report of a huge improvement, and 3-4 reports of no improvement. Be interesting to see who's right...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:

Typing lag still there. Just as bad as ever. I am a full sentence ahead of the display at this point. Basically, all browser bugs are still present including cursor position as opposed to where you are typing and blocks while scrolling etc.

Since this the best Honeycomb will be : All native Honeycomb browsers (default, Dolphin an others) = epic fail.

And now I checked the ice cube is NOT LEVEL and it was before this lol...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BigNerdBlog:
They should have made the trackpad scroll direction customizable.

I liked the way it was because that's how it is on notebooks that have multi-touch scrolling.

Same with the circle cursor.

Maybe in 3.3.

stock video player wont play videos..

Plays fine on mobo, but gallery app, it only darkens the screen and nothing....

By the way, not sure if this was there before, but when you long press a key on the tabletm you can type the alternate mark.

Say long press the "." To type a "?"

So eliminstes having to press the shift key

Again.. might hsve been there before

Rooted US, running Netflix. Will 3.2 break my ability to use Netflix? If so is there a fix yet?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xenoterran:
I made a separate post for this but then thought it made sense to have it in this post so here is a copy of a bug I'm experiencing with 3.2...

**********************************************************

After getting the OTA 3.2 upgrade (unrooted; obviously), I noticed a bug. If I had any applications that weren't set as the default app for a specific piece of functionality, then the option to choose which app to use no longer appears.

For example, prior to 3.2, if I clicked on a bookmark, I was prompted whether to use the default browser or Opera. I didn't set either to use as a default because I may use one or the other depending on the situation at the time since both treat pages differently.

Another example of this shows up when clicking on either the ASUS weather widget or the weather info on Beautiful Widgets. Again, clicking on the forecast for either of these will call up a browser page but since I didn't have a default one selected, the screen dims, but no option to choose a browser appears.

This isn't limited to the browser. I'm getting the same "dim screen, no option to choose" with other programs that had no default option set, such as movies. Prior to 3.2, clicking on an MP4 movie asked me if I wanted to view in the gallery or PowerAMP. Now.. ..nothing. Dim screen. Clicking anywhere or hitting 'back' returns to the screen without the file being played.

It seems any attempt to launch any file or in-app link that points to a link or file that is unassigned results with the same "dim screen" road block.

Anyone else experiencing this? or am I the only lucky one getting this frustrating bug?

Possible temporary fix: It may be possible with some apps to set "use as default" for a specific file type in the app settings and this may fix this issue for myself and any others. Personally, I don't want to do this. I like being able to choose on the fly and would like this bug fixed. Still, if it's going to be weeks until a fix arrives, I may need to use this workaround (if it is even possible for all my affected associations) so I'm not standing still till a patch comes.

UPDATE - Problem solved; provisionally:

While I can't be sure this fixed the problem, I undocked the tablet and removed both a 16GB MicroSD (from the unit) and a 16 GB SD (from the dock) and then re-inserted both memory cards and the tablet into the dock. After that, my links called up the association window again. I 'believe' it was reseating the tablet into the dock that corrected the issue, but ejecting and putting the memory cards may have been the answer. Note to self: check results after 'each' step.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] breakthru_sep:
Just a quick note:

I believe TB (SKU) is for Turkey and Belgium, hence the letter T :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zeruel13:
Are all the new dock (say if you buy it now) the B6O? Is there a serial number somewhere?
