ASUS to Release Google Android 3.1 Update to All Tablet Devices

Hong Kong (May 18, 2011) — Following Google’s recent announcement of the Android 3.1 update, ASUS today confirms that it will be providing the operating system updates to all its Eee Pad tablet devices.

This Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) upgrade for all its tablet devices will be released on a market by market basis. This online firmware update will include the Android 3.1 update. ASUS will announce the release date by early June.

Users will receive a notification on their Eee Pads once the update is released and this online firmware update can be done in just a few steps.

With Android 3.1, users can look forward to improvements in the UI, connectivity to various USB accessories, as well as updates to standards apps.

We will release more information later. Thanks!

Updated my TF to 8.2.1.13 this morning w/out issue. It was pushed to my device OTA a couple days ago. Dock firmware also updated. Haven't noticed any problems yet, but only used it for 5 mins afterwards.

Fully stock here - except for manually updating to 8.2.3.9 via the US firmware on the Asus site (via microSD) once that was available in late April. No root.

My TF has been off for several days - fired it up last night (5/17) when I saw news of this .13 release, but there was no notification for me.

I tried it in the dock, out of the dock, and manually via Settings.. About..

For those that got .13 - did you get it a few days ago? Or are you still getting notifications today?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
Received notice of update on Monday but held off to install till today. Updated to.13 dated 5/11 with no issues,
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newtybar:
I got my transformer yesterday, but have not really received any pushed OTA updates.

I am on 8.2.3.9 or something like that.

How do I have these pushed to me?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pogul:
I'm beginning to think the .13 OTA has been pulled...

Seems like folks got it earlier in the week or weekend, but nothing is showing up yesterday (17th) or today.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] npompei:
I had to manually go into the transformer and "check for updates." Not to sound like an idiot or make anyone else sound like one, but did you manually check for it? Mine didnt just show up with a download arrow at the bottom. I had to go into settings and check for it. Then it showed up. Mine has been working fine along with dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pogul:
Yes, I've gone in to manually check for updates and it tells me there are no updates available (and I'm still on 8.2.3.9).

Did you just update today - or yesterday - or was it before then?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
It could have been pulled for any number of reasons, but as the majority of people have said it's helped out a lot with their dock problems I dont see why it should have been. I think it's more likely that your device is having problems connecting to the update server for whatever reason. Just try again at a later time or you will have to wait for the manual update to be released, and I would assume they would only do that once the UK update is officially released (in case UK people get impatient and try to update with the US firmware beforehand).

Everything can be "fixed", all it takes is time :D

Where did you find the MyZine widgets? And any news if they have fixed the FB app?

rio
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dreadnought001:
Just downloaded this and noticed a couple of things:

I now have the Layar app installed - not sure why, I thought this was available from the market anyhow. Do other people have this?

I installed the My Cloud software on my PC and it shows up like a network drive and you can drag and drop files to it, but it is very slow (I presume that's to do with my rubbish upload speeds). I dragged over a 12MB video to it and it took ages to copy across. When I went to the mycloud app on the tablet and to the My Collection folder, I could see the video, but you cannot play it directly from there, instead you have to download it. That's a bit of a shame as I thought you could actually stream your videos direct from their servers. Has anyone tried it with music? Does it stream from their server (I can't do it right now as I'm at work and can't install anything on the computer)?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Press and hold on home screen. Widgets are there, just like any other widget. In the system folder is an apk called MyGaZine.apk which I guess is why there are problems, as it's not the same name.

What is wrong with your facebook app? It's worked fine for me since launch.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
The Facebook widget is the problem - if you put the widget on the a homescreen, the app will always force close. If you delete the widget, the app works ok.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Ah ok cheers. I've not used the widget.

Yeah layar seems to be 'new' on the device, as I hadn't downloaded it from the market. The streaming seems to work the way you describe, it starts playing when it has enough of the file to let it play it, and continues to download the whole file to your device. It feels like it uses the internet, rather than lan, to deal with the files which is a bit strange so yes it's perhaps limited by your connection speed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rio911:
Thanks for that, I will have to try it. The problem that I was having was that some of my contacts are linked to FB profiles and get their images from there. But since the FB widget and app didn't work (FC all the time), my contacts were faceless :p

rio
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
You can always add pictures to your google contacts list and just sync that way. You just have to merge them with the facebook app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] htc6500uk:
Since doing the update, I've noticed my sound is either on or off when playing audio or video - the screen slider shows the volume is changing but it does not actually vary the volume.

This might have been an existing problem but nobody else has mentioned it. The only references I can find are to one speaker being louder/quiter than the other.

Anybody else have this problem?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boiboi_67:
Turn off and back on again, this will sort the problem out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mamoulian666:
Layar *was* seriously messed up, it showed the camera feed at a 90-degree-rotation from however you were holding the device.

So maybe they're including it as a 'look at us, we fixed it!' declaration :)

Glad they've fixed the compass, I was worried I had broken hardware.

Not keen on making my unit un-flashable though so I'll have to wait a bit to try it.

Again, pleased with Asus for continuing to make steady progress!

(not pleased about the closed bootloader but that's a bigger argument...)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] htc6500uk:
Problem sorted - many thanks - surprised the re-boot didn't sort it. Anyone know what causes this to happen?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lytnus:
Snap on the compass front, I also was worried my hardware was broken; my iphone has had a dodgy compass from day 1, and no software upgrade ever changed that!

I found I had to do a restart too to get things running smoother again, but now everything feels nippy; can't really notice a difference from before the upgrade though, and viewing this site on my transformer now seems somewhat jerkier too..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Putzy:
Compass is a lot better than before, not erratic as it was. It doesn't point to the same North that my Nexus One does though, which I know 100% is correct.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yerand:
wouldnt a work around for the roms having to be signed be just flashing the original stock rom rooting it and installing whatever rom you want
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
As far as I'm aware, you can't even run ClockworkMod recovery any more as the image used for the fake flash isn't signed.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dexter_nlb:
anyone have the "update.zip" as a file?

got the system dunp posted in another post, but the boot.img and recovery.img + bootloader.bin, would still be nice to have...

I guess only from the update.zip you find them, if you havent got APX yet and no partitions point to the boot,rec,bootloader partition normally.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
Are there any screenshots of the MyZine widget?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
This is how it looks before you customise it. Theres 2 types and they are huge. Unfortunately it's not working properly for me so can't show it any better. At least it gives you an idea though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
Thanks! Hopefully they are able to get the bugs worked out. Seems like it could be a pretty nice widget if they do.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] roebeet:
x2 on that request. If the Xoom is any indication, it might have been dropped in /cache, or possibly /sdcard during the flashing process.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
I am on completely stock, and have tried manually checking, it tells me there are no updates available.

Thanks!

I'm personally having huge issues with WiFi disconnecting nonstop, and I know some of the updates are supposed to fix this. Wish I could install them :/.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] the_gunner:
Turned mine on Sat morning (5/14), and it immediately started dl'ing the update automagically. Didn't have it charged up then, so I waited until this AM to install it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Palinn:
I manually applied the update (April I think) that was available on the ASUS website to a stock tablet and I don't see any more updates either when I check for them using the tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cooldragon777:
I am wondering if ASUS is pushing out the OTA update batch by batch.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AcidCool2K:
Mine is updated. For those not, anyone check with Asus confirming this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DevCake:
+1

I did mine about 3 days ago, closed my eyes and crossed my fingers. I would have sacrificed a chicken if I had one and it would have helped the karma . All is well so far, I don't see any real difference yet.

Oh and I got a dock update right after.

~DC
[Eee Pad Transformer General] haupman:
Delete please
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josephislee:
I had the update but i stupidly downgraded by accident, and now my Transformer wont detect any new firmware when i search for new updates.. Any help ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jms_uk:
Woke up this morning in the good ole UK and I can confirm I got the tablet and dock firmware update (finally!) :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MrHat001:
Another UK dude here who updated ok.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Confirmed WW sku released today, bringing the latest global firmware release to 8.2.3.13. And MobileDock version 0209.

Edit: I've found about 5 things that have changed or been fixed in the first 3 minutes of using. Surely someone could have reported these in the thread before now?!

Edit 2: Can anyone confirm or deny this one please:

When plugging the tablet/dock combined, into a pc via usb cable, files are now available as a mass storage device in the latest 8.2.3.13. I'm not sure if that was the case or not before this update, so if someone still on a lower firmware can check for me i'd be grateful.

If anyone notices the 'disk full' error on this firmware revision please report here.

Thx.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] auspony:
Ok I am totally confused. I manually downloaded 8.2.3.9 from the ASUS website because it wasn't coming down OTA. Then today when I powered up my TF it said it had downloaded an update and i accepted installation (after some worrying freezing where no sensors or the touchscreen was working).

So after install and reboot I now have:

Kernel version - 2.6.36.3-00004-g069b8b5 (android@mercury #1)

Build number: HRI66.US_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511

So is this OTA update superceded my manual download of 8.2.3.9?? And is the Kernal version also updated so I don't have to worry abouit a manual update of the Kernel I downloaded (kernel-8038d35.tar)?

Mu TF is a US unit but I am in Australia. Does the FOTA work on the basis of the unit or the IP from where it is connecting?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gargoyle999:
I just received an auto update this morning to .13. I've had my tablet since Tuesday. And the keyboard firmware updated once I docked it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] turbohobbit:
Nio firmware updates coming either OTA or via the web in the UK yet. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] monkeyboy451:
If your device now says - Build number: HRI66.US_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511

- then you have the latest firmware released and can delete your download of 8.2.3.9 from your PC. (the bold part being the important bit which supercedes your downloaded update) :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
8.2.3.9 needs to be downloaded on a PC, extracted to a micro SD and sideloaded. Once you have 8.2.3.9 then it should see 8.2.3.13 as an OTA update and download it automatically. This also has a dock update that will be installed once the TF is docked. The update you use if manually loading is based on the base version on your TF. If it is US than you need to use US. Using WW could brick your TF ( this is what happened in the first update).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] trdar:
just recieved an OTA update in the UK

Tablet is now 8.2.3.13

Dock is now EP101-0209
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shotto:
Strange that the TF does not inform you that a new update is available, I had to 'ask' it if there were any updates. Anyway installed quickly and I'll be interested to see if the dock retains battery life much better now, the only real problem I've had.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AvRS:
Great news, hopefully this solves my wireless issue I was having yesterday with webpages only half loading. Then again could've been something with my setup even though my PC worked fine. Been looking forward to this update anyway, now just have to wait to get home tonight :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] songmeesay:
I'm in the US and got my TF on Tuesday the 17th so I missed the OTA update and kept manually checking all day yesterday but no luck. I manually checked this morning and finally it was available.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DroidxRage:
Strange... US Transformer here.

Got my update on 5/13 for both tablet and dock. Currently reporting:

Build number: 8.2.3.13-20110511

MobileDock Version: 0209

If I go to system updates, it says "There are updates available check notifications". But there's nothing in my notifications. I've rebooted, in and out of the dock. Tried to redock to see if there was a dock update that needed to inititate. Can't seem to figure out what's going on.

Think it doesn't realize it updated on the 13th?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kingwp1:
The latest changelog lists "dock battery meter added."

Can anyone describe exactly what that means and how the battery in the dock really works? I've been confused by this since the beginning. Before the latest update, when I was plugged in to the dock, the battery would show the little lightning bolt meaning it was charging. Now I just get a battery symbol. Is that showing the full charge of both the dock and tablet combined?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pogul:
Similar situation here in that I missed the initial OTA updates of .13 - have been trying since Tuesday with no luck - but then this morning I checked again and this time the update was available and installed without a hitch.

So now I'm at .13 for the FW and 209 for the dock.

NOW, I'm curious to see whether the dock FW update will do anything for the issue where my dock has stopped charging. Crossing my fingers but I'm not holding out much hope for it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
No it doesn't. I should know... I wrote it. That was in the beta firmware release only, and not in the final release.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DroidxRage:
That feature was only in the beta firmware that went to select users. It added a second battery readout for the dock battery, just like it reports for the tablet battery. The subsequent public release omitted this feature. Official updates as of now do not post any statistics about the dock battery. Any statistics you see on your device are only related to the tablet.

The tablet will report a battery icon with a lightning bolt when charging, even if your charging the dock and the battery on the tablet is full. Right now the only battery indicator for the dock is the lackluster LED notification, unless you got that beta firmware.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DroidxRage:
I think its perceived as being a cumulative list you have there, as in you're not posting carry-over additions from one update to the next. So it was just assumed since it was listed in the prior version that it should be in the newer one.

Maybe adding "Dock Battery indicator Removed" or something to the latest update would help shed confusion? BTW - thanks for keeping the post updated! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kingwp1:
Right... Good thing I read the fine print, haha

Well, I guess I'll just wait for the next update and hope they include the separate battery meter.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Ok I see what you mean. It's good to get it from someone else's perspective. I'll make it a bit clearer in the first post then. Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HasC:
Myzine widget still force closing on mine after appyling update, did a reset using the long press method until the unit shut down, anyone else having this issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Seemed ok on mine and a friends so thought it was fixed. If anyone else confirms it's FC'ing on theirs ill remove that entry.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AvRS:
Anyone notice their caps lock light flashing when updating the dock? I also had a new email so trying to work out if its a new feature or just during the dock update?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AcidCool2K:
That is the indication of dock updating...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cooldragon777:
Woke up this morning, there was a notice of firmware update on my TF. Clicked and updated well. After rebooting, saw another notice of dock firmware update. Clicked and updated well too.

Haven't noticed difference on my TF between the two firmwares, since I haven't experienced any Wifi or dock issue with 8.2.3.9.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theArthur:
Is there an upgrade path for rooted Transformers?

I have been not installing the update because last week there was no update path for rooted tablets, is this still the case?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jocelyn:
Yes, but Prime v1.3 is based on 8.2.3.13 and has the dock update built in.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ipcress687:
-0209 manual update

OK, i admit i am lucky, my TF did the .13 seemlessly, followed by the dock to 0209, all doen and dusted in about 7 minutes flat.

My wife's on the other hand has stumbled. Its always had trouble with the keyboard since it arrived a couple of weeks back, never worked properly. Her update OTA to .13 went well, but the dock update is just sitting staring at me stuck on 0% and has been for a good hour. I have rebooted, tried and failed, cold reboot, same result, it just doesnt want to finish the process.

Any ideas where i can grab the file on either the asus site or from within the file structure of my unit and transfer it over for a manual update. Coming from a windoes background the Android file structure may as well be in mandarin.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dainesefreak:
Force closing on mine after the update too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
.13 firmware isnt officially available as a manual update anywhere at the moment.

Ok thanks. Removed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] human_error:
I can't believe that no-one has noticed that auto-brightness is finally working with the latest UK update.

It takes a few seconds to react but my screen goes brighter and darker as the ambient lighting changes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CoBrA2168:
So what happens if you didn't get the pushed update on the 13th? Is there a way for your device to "ask" for it? :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
It worked fine before lol. Maybe they have sped up the polling rate so it changes faster though. I'll check that tomorrow.

Edit: Bah I gave in and checked now. Yes they have increased the polling speed. Used to be about 30 seconds, now it seems to be about 5 seconds. Also the brightness can now go on full brightness even if the slider bar is set at a lower level, unlime how it worked before. Well spotted. Added to front page. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Shaolin Style:
soooooooooo... is this update safe to apply on US devices?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] renegadeian123:
Had mine a week now, just downloaded the .13 update, followed by the keyboard update. All installed smoothly, thank God!

And yes, auto-brightnes is now actually working, tested with shining my torch into the sensor, takes a few seconds but it works well.

Now if Asus can kindly fix hd playback issues please!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] doodalon:
Received my TF last week and all was fine, I did the update on the 19th May, now my volume is messed up (worked fine before hand). No matter how high/low I set the volume bar on the TF, it plays at 100%, if I go down to the lowest, it turns off, but one click above off = 100%

Any one else have this problem?

UK TF btw
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ryaninja:
UK dock FW

...strange, my dock's caps lock didn't flash at all during the update. In fact it was plugged in and all the LEDs turned off while it was updating...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Do the 10-12 second force power off trick. Should fix your issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] doodalon:
Thanks a lot for that! didn't realise that the force power down would fix the speaker volume!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AvRS:
Last night I tried splashtop streaming video from my PC for first time on the new firmware and it was so much smoother then before looked really good and I was in my bedroom above where my router is :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josephislee:
My tablet still has not recieved a notification for the .13 OTA update and it isn't being posted on the Asus support page either. -.- Should I try a factory reset? I had the. 13 firmware and I downgraded to the. 09 firmware by accident ..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
It's on the Asus FTP server. Link is in 1st post.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AngryDinosaur:
im guessing the screen sensitivity problem is still not fixed?

so sometimes you need to click the same spot once or twice to register
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josephislee:
Thanks! One question. If I update the tablet manually through FTP, would my dock automatically update as well ?

-Regards
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Sounds like you have a faulty unit.

Yes, the dock update should be included.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AngryDinosaur:
the my zine is called myzine and i have just installed the OTA
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josephislee:
updating through the FTP server worked perfectly, Thanks
