Delayed again, lets hope there wouldn't be any delays more.

I don't know how much Asus is involved but if things will go in similar manner the end of the world may be delayed too :)

Some info on driver versions for TF101G:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
How does your TF101G have Android 4.0.3 ICS? ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gaby02:
It's from asus South Africa...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] faxe3:
Did you receive the ICS update? Or is it just a rom?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wanzer:
I hope you can read at least the last posts before writing yours
[Eee Pad Transformer General] faxe3:
Hey! There's no need to be rude! I didn't knew whether he meant that the update on his tablet came from Asus South africa or the picture was from Asus South africa. I'm really not trying to insult anybody I just didn't knew what he meant.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
I still don't understand. Where did South Africa come from? CrazyPeter's profile says he is from the UK and I don't see anything in the screenshot that says differently. So, what's with the ICS on the TF101G? :confused:

*EDIT* Nevermind, I found the Facebook post. Doh!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jojobou:
I also noticed this issue. Started only recently.

My dock did not previously have the draining issue (asus exchanged my first dock because of this issue).

[Eee Pad Transformer General] hieupt:
thanks..............:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yhw22:
Found that the drainage is caused by Wifi. Previously when in sleep mode, the Wifi will be auto off. But now, even when in sleep mode, Wifi is still running background. This causes the drainage.

Nowadays, I will turn off my Wifi when not in sleep mode. This solved the problem of drainage. :p

Why is this not stickied anymore? Didn't it get canned but was linked in a "master post". Looks like that has been dumped too?

Threads that are sticked now are how to root, ICS discussions ONLY, Ironfist, and do not post questions! 3 pointless and one informative! Doesn't make any sense as this is one of the more important threads for the TF101!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
+1

I spent ages trying to find this page a couple of days back, it was 4 pages back :-(

Perhaps we should keep bumping the thread with drivel until it gets restickied.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Snow201:
tnx :D it will help for me :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Heh yeah thanks. I had to start searching to find my own thread too. Don't know why it was removed totally from every sticky, and agree that the stickies now are totally useless/pointless. It's no wonder we get so many crap threads on ICS nowadays.

Anyways the update is being repeatedly delayed, which can be viewed positively as in 'they are making sure there are no ****-ups/bugs on release' or negatively in that 'they are delaying it so much, the update will eventually be cancelled, and people working on it will be re-tasked'. I prefer to still believe its coming out, but with the constant stream of useless dates from Asus it's getting harder to keep the faith. It's still meant to be out sometime in 'March'. Fingers crossed.

Edit:

Latest update on facebook today says the following:

Just wondering which regions will get it first as it all seems to be up in the air.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
THey should release it globally, as whatever regions they release it in, they will get upset users form the others...

Right now, after all the false hope and pent up anticipation, there is little to no chance Asus can release this without a ****storm in some way or another....

Anyways just a note to say ICS has been released ...finally ... to 'select' markets. So far I've only heard it's the TW version though. The rest should roll out over the coming days and weeks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] leomuricy:
Guys I am really happy to say that Ics is now available for tf101 officially!!!

For now only Taiwanese tablets are getting the ota but I'm sure it won't take long before European and American ones are updated too. Besides, the team working on prime ROM will surely use it to upgrade their ROM.

This is a very good day for all transformers owners!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AvRS:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
If you're talking about Spark, while it is an impressive achievement, it doesn't fully "work" and even the dev would agree. With this new update though, he'll likely have the tools he needs to fix that, so those who want a truly vanilla ICS experience will be happy, so this OTA is good for everyone.

Besides, the guy who had the reboots was able to fix it, so ... it does work after all :)

Use search. This has been discussed a million times already. Facelock is not supported; Asus has disabled it. No, it can't currently be reenabled.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] sparks.calvin:
Did anyone ever find an answer to this? I have same issue
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RonSykes:
If anyone is having trouble after the ICS update, you should back up your data and nuke everything.

For me this fixed the random reboots, screen off reboots, android.process.media FC's, battery drain, lag, and probably a whole lot more that I hadn't even noticed. Now my TF101 is running faster and smother than it did out of the box.

ASUS probably did a good thing by some people by not wiping the devices but such a major OS overhaul will always need a full wipe. Those who are familiar with custom ROMs know that a incremental update can be done without a wipe (e.g. 3.0.1 to 3.0.2) but a full upgrade (e.g. 3.#.# to 4.#.#) needs a full wipe.

You can backup your apps with the ASUS App Backup and restore them but you're probably better off manually restoring the apps from the market and restoring the data only. Apps that rely on the Honeycomb framework APK of SysUI APK might crap out if restored from a back up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BlackStone0:
on my SL101 is no Update avaible. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bsoplinger:
I used the CWM flashable update method which said to wipe everything as part of the process. The result is amazing. It seems like I have a different faster, another tablet. It was so worth the trouble of restoring my apps then their data from a TiBackup.

So I'll second the recommendation to wipe everything as part of the upgrade.

non working facial recognition depends on camera being set to front camera causing panorama to not work . Probably why not using screen lock fixes camera.

I just got the 9.2.1.17-20120312 update.

One thing I noticed during the finalization of the update was an on-screen message saying:

Android is upgrading...

Optimizing application <xx> of 82​

I wonder what applications exactly were 'optimized.' 82 does seem to be a fairly large number.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mb2k:
More than likely updating Google Apps. That's the message that comes up after flashing a custom rom and then flashing GApps.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
You get a large number, even on a stock, wiped, unrooted tablet with absolutely nothing installed, being updated from Honeycomb to ICS. It's optimizing all the stock apps.

Battery usage data is enabled now and for the first time right after the update my apps were optimized, never had that screen before.

Just got the latest update OTA in the Netherlands. I hope it does what it's supposed to.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
You certainly *should* have seen it before, unless this is the first time you've used ICS on the tablet. I received the optimization dialog when first upgrading to ICS, from a stock, unrooted, wiped TF101 with not a single program installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] d3l1:
Honestly, when the first major update to ICS came out I just let it update and left the room. So maybe I missed it then because when I came back the lockscreen was already there. But on GB I watched almost every update and never saw that screen.

Btw I never wiped my tablet, so if the reboot/lockup bugs persist,I will try a factory reset.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Yeah, in that case you probably just missed the optimization step on the first ICS update.

The interesting thing, though, is that you got one on the second update. I watched mine closely, and despite having both first- and third-party apps resident when the second update was applied, I definitely did *not* get the optimization dialog.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Raavi:
[UPDATE: bluetooth issues are still there]

I just installed the 9.2.1.17 WW update (using ROM provided by gee one) so it's not 100% same as standard FOTA but since it's pure stock + root it should be the same.

The app optimization thing appeared to me on first boot and this is the first time I had it. When flashing to 9.2.1.11 WW I did _not_ get it and I'm 100% sure of it.

+ The tablet feels faster from the very first moment - big plus here

+ On the 11 version I had a full-stop for 5-10 seconds when docking - that seems to be fixed

+ Dock keyboard works faster and immediately rather than after few seconds of initial "warmup" (after docking or coming out of sleep)

+ Battery usage works now (did not work in 11)

- Bluetooth hangups are still occuring. Sometimes my music player stops and system stops detecting my bluetooth headset connected to the tablet. I have to turn off the headset, turn off bluetooth and start them up again to fix it so it is not an application issue

- People reported having no random reboots for long periods - I cannot confirm that as I had a random reboot just few minutes ago

- USB connectivity to PC is not working at all still (if anyone has a method to fix it - please let me know!).

[Eee Pad Transformer General] sbiriguda:
Downloading and diffing with TF101's kernel sources, let's see if they changed something other than adding 3G drivers :-)

--EDIT--

Ok, some good news and some really bad news.

Good news first: there was a faulty codepath in cache management which would under certain circumstances cause a large scale cache corruption. It might reasonably be the root cause of the heisenbug we're witnessing on the TF101.

Really bad news: they fixed CVE-2012-0056, so rooting via mempodroid (eg. viperMOD's option 1) is gone for good :(

Other source changes seem to be TF101G-specific or totally unrelated to overall system stability.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sbiriguda:
Just for reference, here is the bugfix for cache management:
