I'm pretty sure the latest update has been pulled.

I've been holding off 8.6.5.13 for ages as I didn't want the browser "improvements" ;) , it's been sitting in my notification tray.

I upgraded two days ago to see whether I would then be offered 8.6.5.18

No luck so far, even after clicking Check Update about a hundred times:D

Re previously rooted/CWM devices, I had this problem with 8.6.5.9 as I was rooted but once I'd reflashed a stock ROM I've been able to update OTA no problem. (I was only rooted for AdHoc WiFi anyway)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
It's not been pulled. It's still being pushed out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cozzykim:
Then, why are so many of us getting the "There is no update currently available for your device" message?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Paul:
This! No update still here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
For lots of possible reasons see the first post. Other than that I can't help you. You've contacted Asus support already I assume.

It's still being pushed out because the secured server hosting the updated files is still 'broadcasting' the same data. If it had been pulled, either it wouldn't be sending out any data, or it would be sending out different data to our devices.

Anybody having problems with the market in the new version? It had been absolutely problem-free for me for many months, since my last wipe-and-reinstall. (Well, other than the long-standing bug where you sometimes have to hit retry several times to get a market page to load.) I've been absolutely religious about not pressing to install an app more than once, using either the cold-boot or disconnect and reconnect wifi methods to get an app to install, if it had gotten stuck at the start of the process.

However, with the new market, I keep getting prompted to reaccept the terms and conditions. Not on every time I enter the market, but regularly.

The first time I accept them, all is well. The next time I'm prompted and accept, almost all my apps will have disappeared from "My Apps". Clearing all app data for the market leads to another prompt to accept conditions, after which my apps are all back to normal until the next time the terms and conditions prompt appears.

I'm wondering if this is a bug anybody else is seeing, or if I need to do another complete wipe.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jms_uk:
Ok, despite how much faster the web experience is with the latest FOTA.. AFAIK, something is definitely broken in terms of typing text into websites such as these!

Lag is virtually gone (yay!) but you cannot do things like delete etc.. the newest FOTA seems to have broken how the input mechanisms work on *certain* websites.. not all text input, but something is definitely broken

I've found that when typing.. and you need to delete, the delete keys stop working.. I use Thumb Keyboard in split mode (so I get the "cursor keys").. when the delete key stops working, as it has done frequently, I hit cursors to move backwards.. which puts the TF into text select mode.. This never happened before.

Oh.. and changing back to other input methods doesn't work either (so its not a problem with Thumb Keyboard).. Delete etc. are still broken
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Ironically I've had this problem before too, and the latest update possibly rectified it for me. But then I did do a full reset and therefore re-installed thumb keyboard at the same time so I dont know if that was what helped mine out or not. Just glad it's gone, as I'd had it for ages. Sounds like possibly it's more of an app conflict or something, based on our experiences with this annoying error.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
I've seen several instances of the keyboard refusing to come up at all when I tap in some text entry fields, including on Google properties.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jms_uk:
I tried again, and the problem isn't just with ThumbKeyboard.. switched to the Asus onscreen keyboard and delete didn't work there either.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
Looks like they fixed the Asus Backup app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zitovsky:
Yes, backup is ok now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Soooo, who wants to reset their Transformer to see if RESTORE works ;) LOL
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
It actually continues to get weirder for me. I can go to Google in the tablet, do say a two-word search, then on the resulting page tap in the search box to edit my existing search to remove the second word and replace it with something else. My new search shows correctly typed in the box, but when I submit it, it searches for the word I'd *removed* and the new word (but not the original word I'd left in from the first search.)

I've not tried troubleshooting to see if it happens all the time or intermittently, but just in normal usage I've already seen it 4-5 times in a couple of days. Weirdest bug I ever saw...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Fixed the error. Cheers for pointing it out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jms_uk:
Ok, so this is weird.. over the last couple of days since the latest firmware I've had at least two spontaneous random reboots.. :( once when launching skype and once when viewing a flash video with the stock browser.. prior to the update I never got random reboots.. any one else getting this? Also typing in forums like xda is definitely broken whatever keyboard you use - tapping once in the text window to move the cursor to a new position shouldn't put the tablet into text selection mode straight off.. backspace seem broken also as if its switched to 'delete' mode (i.e. each press deletes text after the cursor back to the cursor position).. though ironically, the lag is gone) ;)

**edit** ..typically though, the keyboard behaviour is intermittant and only seems to happen on first posting, not edits.. no idea why that should be the case..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Yes, seeing all of the above, although the backspace thing happened in earlier revisions of firmware too, intermittently.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jms_uk:
For me, the reboots have just been since the very latest firmware. The keyboard thing.. I've not noticed until the last few days.. and typically, its better again now..

Still, I love me my transformer and despite Asus' best attempts to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, its still the best tablet out there :D

..(until the Transformer Prime that is.. but I won't be adopting quite as early this time as the OG TF ticks all the boxes and I couldn't justify it) ;)

** Edit ** Spoke too soon.. Text entry IS borked.. was trying to log into my amazon.co.uk account and I was getting all kinds of weirdness occuring. Something isn't quite right here
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Yeah, I've only had one or two spontaneous reboot so far, and they're all on the latest firmware. The text entry too I am having significant new issues with on current firmware, including on Google itself. The backspace bug, though, has been around for a while, intermittently.

Transformer does not turned on

- Not sure if anyone else is experiencing with this or not. But it happened to me after updated with 8.6.5.19-20111107 a few days ago.

- I tried the hard reset method per post below from android forumn. First try (12s) did not work. I was very frustrating. Went ahead for the second time (5s) on the hard reset and it turns back on again....pheeew. Not sure what was going on. I hope this is an isolated incident. If not, hope Asus see this post and fix the issue in this OTA or something like that.

Update about ICS hitting our original TF's:

It's now not being released until some time in December, closer to the US launch of the TF Prime. It also seems the roll-out of any updates will be more widely staggered, so some regions may have to wait until January for an OTA update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Source? All I've seen is statements a couple of weeks ago that the Prime had been pushed to December, to ship with ICS. There's not been anything to suggest the TF101 would get the update at the same time as it's available for the Prime, that I've seen.

I'm not saying this isn't true, just that if it is, I'd really like to see a citation so I can read the statement myself...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Can't quote a source as there is no new 'official' statement on this. Sounds shadowy I know but you can judge the info by when you see the update come out with your own eyes and choose to trust/distrust then (or before if you wish ofc).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] intnatan:
Is there any possibility to access the update files via Asus support or somehow else, because FOTA still doesn't work in many users across the globe and we didn't saw any link for those files on Asus Global site?

i do believe that it was stated during the unveiling of ics that transformer would see its first update by christmas

[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
OK, thanks for the confirmation. :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Houndog:
I have experienced this to for the first time with this same update. It has happened to me twice now. I am suspicious that it may be related to the auto airplane mode app that I was running as I noticed that my WIFI was turned off and airplane mode was on when I finally got the transformer to reboot. By the way, I didn't have to hard reset to get it back working. I just held the power button down for 20 or 30 seconds and it booted up. Hopefully it is this app and not a bad update.

Interestingly, mine came today and is loaded with build HRI66.WW_epad-8.2.2.6.1-20110325, so it hasn't seen either the first or second update. And, it's been booted now for a few hours and no update.

I'm guessing Asus has pulled the update. Hopefully they'll repost it soon, because I'm missing all of the stuff that came with the first update.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
That's good news -- I was worried about getting bricked right before I leave on a two week trip. I can live with a few minor glitches for a couple of weeks, if it means a working tablet.

Do we know how the regional updates are applied? Am I right in assuming the updater polls a specific server or for a specific file, and the correct regional update will be applied from anywhere in the world? Or does the update server offer up a different update depending on your IP / geolocation?

Reason I ask is because my trip is to Asia (Hong Kong) for two weeks, I'm guessing it's probably the former mechanism in which case I'm fine, but I don't want to risk accidentally being served up an update for the wrong geo while I'm on the trip.

Oh, and btw, count me in as one of the many users extremely impressed to see multiple levels of Asus staff from different departments participating in this forum. The launch difficulties had me questioning Asus, but my confidence has been more than restored. Firmware glitches can happen to any company. It takes a really good company to have the courage to work on fixing them out in the open, rather than fixing things behind the scenes and trying to pretend nothing was wrong. I see this as an exceptionally positive sign, so huge kudos to Asus!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Has anyone noticed the 'Pizzicato' notification sound playing occasionally, at seemingly random times? I have a feeling it's something to do with the firmware update check built in to the device (it's just literally done it again on my tablet at 12pm), as it did it once when there was a proper notification in the bar at the bottom telling me of an update.

On the other hand it might just be some app I have installed, so that's why im interested to hear if anyone else has noticed this particular sound playing with no notifications showing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] geekfam:
Same here, ordered from Amazon on Tues (midnight), got it on Thurs...and loaded with HRI66.WW_epad-8.2.2.6.1-20110325 as well. Did show an update in notifications (still does as of this morning), but am ignoring.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Crimton:
mine is still saying there is an update. i don't really want to try to download it though to see if there really is.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Roach2010:
Guys, if you are still on 20110325 then there is a way for you to update the software and not risk bricking your devices.

It does have the side effect of rooting your device but it will give you the new software and still retain the ability o receive future updates.

1. Download the file in this link and copy it to your sdcard with the filename EP101_SDUPDATE.zip - 3.0.1.4 r1 Beta

2. Get the FOTA updates from my thread here and copy them onto your sdcard - FOTA w/out bootloader/recovery

3. Reboot your transformer while holding power down and then when the message appears about 'Checking for RCK... ' Press the Vol Up button. This should now boot clockworkmod from the sdcard if you've done everthing right.

4. Install the FOTA updates you copied using the install zip from sdcard - choose zip from sdcard options one after the other.

Reboot your device and you should be done.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Thanks for posting the info in here Roach2010. I've linked your post from the main page for those who wish to use that method. For those who are unsure of your current firmware version, please check in the settings>about tablet. If you don't have the version mentioned above, do NOT update using that method.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jinsoku3g:
Is that the 4/28 update? If the new one comes out can we still do the new fota and just lose root?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] babblin5:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ratindahat:
Same problem here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Roach2010:
The updates check software revisions before installing to avoid corrupting invalid files.

I guess the software on the US devices is different from the UK ones as I just successfully installed them over a stock nandroid backup I have.

One workaround would be if you can get access to the /cache folder on your device the asus update should be there, mine was called dlcpkg.zip or something similar. If you could get the file it can be re-engineered to take out the firwamare updates so that only your software is patched thus avoiding the risk of bricking.

You could have a go yourself or if you upload the file I can do it for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Roach2010:
Cheers mate. Based on the two above posts I have added a comment that these updates may be UK specific. I will add the US updates if anyone can provide them.

I noticed mine doesn't drain as fast. When I use to shut it and not turn it off the battery use to die real fast. Now it actually must go in to sleep mode and my battery is lasting longer so I don't have to shut if off all the time.

I keep changing it to disable wifi and after a couple of minutes is back to never turn off wifi (uses more power).
