Not sure how far you'll get, I'm rooted on stock ROM stock Kernel and had exactly the same problem you did...Hopefully there's a rooted version that comes out so we don't have to unroot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Poeta:
I use the BoxWave Capacitive stylus. Works very well :)

Search in amazon or ebay ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Added, cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] uploder:
I can confirm as well that Google maps does update right after the firmware update. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xdadevelopers1222:
I manually updated Google Maps yesterday when the new version was made available on the Market.

After the this latest Transformer update today, nothing new happened with Google Maps. It's still on version 5.10.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nicoled985:
Unfortunately my typing lagged even worse after the update in the stock browser :(... Im going to test it in my other browsers. I also experienced a spontaneous restart and no it was not the restart that accompanies the update, it was after everything installed... Hopefully that's the only one I'll experience
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Same, I got the Google Maps update before the TF update, so they're completely unrelated.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
I miss the days when ota updates were considere 'important' information.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mskip:
Any capacitive stylus will work well on the transformer and there are thousands available on ebay.

I bought *THIS* one last week and it works with very good accuracy on SketchBook.

Great value for money.

Mark.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] solom01:
If you want to try a very unusual stylus that actually resembles a pen and works extremely well for me take a look at the Jot by Adonit - it is the only capacitive stylus that I have seen (and I've tried a lot of them) that is actually different.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mskip:
Yes it certainly does look different lol. I was looking at those when I wanted one but the end looked a bit flimsy and breakable. Also ALOT of money for what it is but there are cheaper versions available.

Funny that the images on ebay have the persons hand firmly pressed against the screen while drawing with the stylus which wouldnt be a good idea at all lol.

Mark.

I uninstalled my previous version of netflix. Then I found the most recent version of netflix and installed it otherwise you'll keep seeing that notice to update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] soalle:
is it my impression or in the last update they fix also the speaker imbalance?

Update firmware 3.2.1 for TB
[Eee Pad Transformer General] glgehman:
Why isn't this thread sticky??

I always start here before considering updates/patches. I looked today and it was gone from Page 1 of the general section. Mods should really acknowledge this is a valuable resource for people.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
Someone decided it wasn't important enough to be a sticky. Not sure why as I imagine it is the only thread a significant proportion of people come here to read. Apparently it is better to spawn a dozen new threads for each firmware update.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] AvRS:
I've found since the update Google defaults to mobile view as opposed to desktop which my user agent is set to. It's starting to get annoying as no matter what I choose it comes out as mobile.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilx:
Yep mine too. even if you use Dolphin HD, the user agent is now stuck to Mobile!!!!

Why do they keep screwing this up, they did this several times on my Galaxy S on various android revisions. Anyone got any ideas how to fix it? Anyway of downgrading back to the old rom?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Dolphin, I think, has a bug re: custom user agents. I set it to clone my desktop PC's user agent, and about 50% of the time, Google serves me desktop pages by default. However, the remainder of the time, it gives me mobile pages as you've noticed, so Dolphin *must* be sending something other than the custom user agent some of the time.

I'm trying Opera Mobile now, and aside from a few slight UI quirks, and the fact that Adobe Flash doesn't work at all currently, it's superb. No tiling on page scroll, the custom user agent works 100% of the time, and there's absolutely zero keyboard lag, even in typing this XDA post.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilx:
Well Dolphin was fine till I put the new update on! As I say it is screwed on Dolphin HD, Dolphin for Pad and the stock browser.

For example try bbc.co.uk
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nurre:
but missing the US version :/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bosotros:
For USA, go to the home page (global map) and select your region. Then navigate to Transformer and Downloads. Unfortunately all the firmwares there are 8.6.5.9...

Maybe the new one will get released soon for North America.

Meanwhile, I'm anxious to know if it fixes anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TpaFFka:
I hope there are not broken file, as in "dlsvr04.asus com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101G/"

Share your firmware please

Can anyone else confirm this latest update? What exactly it is?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Posted an hour ago on Asus' official Facebook page:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jusgan:
Hopefully it fixes this damn Sleep of Death error so I don't have to RMA. Can't wait to try when I get home.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sanderfox:
I just saw this posted on Facebook on the ASUS Benelux wall about the 8.6.5.18 release:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Crash27:
I cannot get the update to install, It does the integrity check then reboots, the little Android guy and progress bar comes up and get to about half way then gives me the Triangle with Exclamation mark in it. I have no idea what is going on, the only thing I can think is causing it is being rooted. If anyone has an idea what is going on or how I can fix it, I would appreciate it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mikey:
you CAN not get an official update with root lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] polo79:
One thing not mentioned in the changelog is they finally took off the sdcard notification that was always on. Freaking sweet!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
It's still there in the stock firmware. Sounds like you need to re-mount your card. Or you have some app that hides it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yhw22:
How do I do the App backup? Or anyone can advise me. Thanks. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Start the app from the apps list maybe? :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yhw22:
Hmm, don't get what you mean. Sorry. Is it that when SD Card is inserted the notification icon is no longer display? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
The new market is miles better now. Actually feels like a pleasure to use, no need to scratch your eyeballs out any more in frustration.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] polo79:
Yes. The notification in the bar at the bottom right.

I totally agree with you on that. Now pictures of screenshots can be zoomed in and you can also rate and review now too. Yay! It's very streamlined. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] y5668555:
new market is great!!!!!!!!!!

we can easily find many apps for tablet :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KenifJambo:
I quite liked the old style of the market :s
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yhw22:
I found it, it is a new application known as "App Backup".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Taomyn:
Yes you can, the only caveat is that you mustn't change system apps and some system files, but it's not the rooting that prevents an update. Get your facts right.

What you can do is download the full firmware of the current version you are running, copy to SD as per Asus instructions, flash it (root is removed but your apps and data remain), apply the new OTA update then re-root. Alternatively wait a few weeks for Asus to get their fingers out and publish the new full version.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Paul:
Hmmm no update for me here in UK.....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
There was an update waiting for my UK Transformer when I woke up this morning.

It installed fine but the new app backup app doesn't seem to work due to some dodgy file permissions. Worse yet it just crashed while playing a youtube video. Looks ok after a power cycle so hopefully it is a once off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Has anyone else lost the ability to use the "special keys" at the top of the keyboard? Only Back and Lock work, but others like settings, wifi, brightness, etc., don't.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikelt89:
Works for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] morrty:
I picked up an Eee Pad Transformer last night and it saw a new firmware update. I successfully updated it to 3.2.1. However, it had a hardware defect and I had to return to the store for an exchange. I have my new one plugged in and charging right now, currently at 70% but it still sees no firmware update. It's sitting on Honeycomb 3.1 and build 8.4.4.11-20110711. If I goto the system update, it says there is no update available for my device. What am I doing wrong?

P.S. I live in Canada so it's the WW SKU and the device is unmodified, no root.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Paul:
Your doing nothing wrong mate, I'm having the same issue in the UK :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Daedalus:
The updates go by device serial number. If you picked up a device later, you'll get it later. Nothing's wrong, you just have to be patient.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] morrty:
Ok. thank you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
Working fine for me. Maybe a reboot or a redock will help.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Daedalus:
They've actually never worked for me. B50 TF/B60 dock, stock 8.6.5.18. Several restarts, hard resets, and a few factory resets, and they still don't work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fx 57:
Still waiting on mah update :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thepatman:
Got the update last night. Ran it just now to see, just in case (I'm pure-rooted) and it failed. Rebooted to set about trying Voodoo - and the update disappeared! Never came back after that reboot. Cleared DMClient data, rebooted, nothing - even if I go to About Tablet and force a check for an update...

Bizarre...

The hell with it, I'm going back to playing Uncharted 3, the tab can wait :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BigNerdBlog:
Haven't been here in a while but does the Nov 4 update fix the issue with the dock drain on the original docks... or do I still need to RMA that in?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Paul:
Mines a B30 mate, should have it ages ago....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] morrty:
Can I manually update my firmware from the Asus website?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Taomyn:
Once they release it, yes, but in the past it's been a week or more between the small OTA update and a full one. AFAIK they don't post the smaller one.

---
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Anybody in the US gotten the update? The serial number myth has been blown to pieces with every single firmware release so far, Asus does *not* roll out the update by serial number, just by market region.

Admittedly, some folks appear not to get the updates at all for some reason, despite being supposedly stock and unrooted. I'm wondering, though, if maybe I'm in that group this time around. Neither mine nor my wife's tablets will pick up the update, so far. (Both early US SKUs).

So... anybody in the US gotten this?

Unrelated: Anybody taking bets on whether the App Backup function is prepping us for ICS? Makes sense to me being a major update that ICS will need the whole tablet to be wiped and everything reinstalled, hence Asus would want to offer a way to back up all our apps before the update...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] computernerd:
No Update in US

I am in US and I donot have an update pushed to my device
[Eee Pad Transformer General] morrty:
im still on 8.4.4.11-20110711. Hadn't there been a several updates since? Maybe I can't update to the absolute latest but why am I still on 3.1?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AcIdC0R3:
I live in the US and I received my update early in the morning yesterday.

I can confirm that when you insert a thumb drive or HDD into one of the USB ports that it has so far recognized it without having to reboot first. Before the update I could plug in one those devices and the tablet would just sit there and do nothing. It would not recognize it. After looking at the change log on the first post this was not mentioned as one of the updates. All I could gather is that is was just so small an update that it just wasn't mentioned or perhaps the anomaly didn't effect everybody, maybe just a select few. In any case I'm fixed. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BigNerdBlog:
Got mine this morning as soon as I turned it on.

Usually I have to click on 'Check for updates' but it had the notification after I put my lock pattern in.

That's why I asked about the dock battery drain issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
Got my update in southeast US.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Nothing here yet after manually checking on two US tabs. First time I've not gotten the update right away, wonder if maybe they've pulled it?

Anybody who has the update, have they fixed Google ignoring desktop user agent and serving mobile pages by default in the stock browser?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jadesse:
So, I was able to download the update on the 4th. I didn't get notified but was able to see there was an update from the settings. Since I am rooted I was unable to install the update. I unrooted & now I can't when I goto firmware update it tells me there is no update. Did something get screwed up when I unrooted. I used BRK's Root Kit to unroot.

Has anyone modified the update file to allow us to update while rooted?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ondoy1943:
When you first run the stock browser and go to the setting of the user string agent, you'll note that the default setting is already set at tablet. No more need to reset to desktop in as much as the browser displays texts/images already as expected. Fixed at last.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
Answered several times earlier in this thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Well, excuse me if I missed something in a hundred plus page thread.

Although, frankly, I don't think I did. I think you're remembering the separate thread specific to this fota update, which I didn't even see until after my post.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Not read the changelog?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frdurso:
It didn't appeared here also... a question: I have a SLIDER, the numbers and versions of the firmware, matches the names of TFs. Can I assume that the update will come together?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
The official changelog doesn't make any mention of the change. Can't remember if your own had been updated at the time of my post, but as somebody who's contributed to your updating it several times in the past, I think I can be forgiven even if I did miss it.

I'm not a big fan of people attacking others for missing something in a hundred page thread in a forum with just a hair under a million threads. It's pretty easy to do. There's a helpful way to respond, and one that would better be kept to oneself.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
It wasnt an attack it was a simple question. No, it wasnt specified in the Asus changelog, but yes it's been up in the first post since about an hour after the update was pushed, so you just missed it. It's most definitely fixed now which is welcome news as mobile pages on a larger screen are just terrible.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jadesse:
I would like to know when they plan on updating the stock browser as it still sucks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] morrty:
I just happened to do a random check for firmware and it appears there is an update again. I suggest anyone who was having problems before tries the same.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] punman:
Just got my update (US firmware) also. If they stopped pushing it out, they appear to have started again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rxnelson:
Did they happen to fix app backup as this was the speculation for pulling it? (If they pulled it.)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Sorry if I took your post the wrong way. The previous abrasive one left a bad taste in my mouth...

Just got the update myself, now it's been reissued, and this is most definitely *not* fixed.It's better than it was, but it isn't fixed.

Set your user agent to desktop, and go to http://www.google.com/ with no trailing arguments, etc. See what you get. It won't be the Classic (aka desktop) site, like it should--and used to--be. You'll get the mobile site forced on you, every time.

Sure, if you set the user agent to tablet, you'll get something called the Tablet site, which is closer to (but not the same as) the Desktop site. You won't get the Desktop site no matter what you do, though. And unless you feel like spending all day changing user agents back and forth, you'll be telling every other site you aren't on a desktop user agent, just to get one site (Google) to give you something that looks kinda-sorta desktop-ish.

So yeah, it's a bit better, but it still sucks. Guess I get forced to stick with Opera through another update. Sucks, because the stock browser is superior n basically every respect except this, the most important one. I don't want the web with training wheels. I want--and my tab is capable of--the web for grownups.

---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

Yes, it appears to have been. (At least, it opens and prompts me to agree terms, then lists all my progs. Not trying an actual backup / restore right now...)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sixe:
Just installed the new firmware and the backup still fails.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
It IS fixed for sure in the WW and TW versions (I cannot 100% confirm the US one, but it's the same version, and nothing's been pulled). Asus confirmed it when I contacted them. It sounds like you have something else causing it to not display pages properly if you are running either of these. Yes I know what it looks like and how to check. What regional sku version are you running? Maybe you need to clear out the browser cache or do a full reset. No idea why yours isnt displaying the way it should now. Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
I'm on US SKU, and the behavior is different, but not fixed.

Forget contacting Asus, who probably consider this different behavior to be a "fix"... have you tried following the steps I outlined yourself? Set your stock browser UA to Desktop, then go to Google without anything after the .com in the URL. What site do you get?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
I'll show you mine if you show me yours. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] punman:
Click the "Classic" link below the search bar.

Edit: By the way, here's what the userAgent strings the Browser is reporting to remote sites are for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile, respectively, on this version:

"Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Linux Ventana; en-us; Transformer TF101 Build/HTK75) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/8.0 Safari/534.13"

"Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 3.2.1; en-us; Transformer TF101 Build/HTK75) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13"

"Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 3.1; en-us; Transformer TF101 Build/HTK75) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.13"

I don't think Asus has any control over what www.google.com chooses to display for each one. They look reasonable to me. I don't know what they were before the latest update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jms_uk:
well, finally got the update here and the stock browser is really coming along :) Sites like engadget render and scroll much faster.. sites in general load faster and for the sites I use, the user agent is working again :) e.g., The redesigned Eurogamer site was a mess with stock, but its a different ball game now! In Fact the changelog should mention browser improvements over and above what's listed because its quite a different beast now.. Typing lag on this forum is virtually non existant now (and its not the booze talking either ;) )

Its not perfect but this tablet gets better and better :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Paul:
FFS still no update on my UK Transformer. What's Asus's roll out strategy here? Random?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jms_uk:
Thats weird.. I was left hanging on sunday (saw your posts) but there it was waiting for me on mon.. like I said, not perfect (in stock browser flash is still variable but its heaps better overall).. hang in there mate :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mutnat:
That's weird, I'm in Canada too, and have the US SKU. Bought through NCIX.ca, at their Langley BC store.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Thanks, I know that's there, shame is it doesn't remember it between sessions.

However, very weirdly, Google is back to serving me desktop pages since my earlier posts (but it was 100% definitely serving mobile pages after the update, and was intermittently serving desktop pages prior to the update as well, so we'll see if it sticks this time.)

Fingers crossed it stays working, because the other stuff in this update all seems to be positive.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
For people not getting the update, this will sound daft, but in order to get mine to update OTA occasionally I have clicked the manual check button up to 15 times before it showed an update. It feels as if it has to pre-load something in order to download the main update (which it doesn't tell you about while it does it). Of course there are lots of other reasons yours may not be updating on it's own so check the first post for more suggestions.

For everyone's info the most common reason that a device fails to update (when you have the update downloaded) is because it was rooted and had CWM on it at some time. Just because you may not have done this, doesnt mean your device wasn't exchanged/returned in/to the store you bought it from by some other customer. There seem to be lots of stores re-selling previously used devices, passing them off as new. This is illegal of course but it doesnt stop places from doing this, so this is a (yet another) possibilty.

:D All fixed buddy.
