I've run some tests, and it seems like they've improved standby battery life (when wifi is configured to run with the screen is off). I've now had two longer periods of standby where my TF has burned about .5%/hour, which is similar to my Xoom's performance. Before this last update, my TF would burn about 3-3.5%/hour.

So, seems like a real improvement. And other than the update, my TF is configured identically and running the same things in the background.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] IndyLateNite:
Have the latest update on my TF but the dock is still at 207.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Since posting that line you quoted, I've found out it means that the keyboard update failed for some reason. If you want the latest version you need to downgrade to .9, then re-apply the update for .13.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Skeldave:
Hi, I cannot update to the latest firmware.

When I use the normal update method it gets stuck when the tablet reboots, it just stays on a screen with the green android character and has a picture of an exclamation mark (!).

I tried updating by downloading the files from the asus website and putting them on my sdcard but when the tablet restarts ClockWorkMod starts up and says "E:Invalid command argument" instead of updating my firmware.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] IndyLateNite:
Thanks for the advice. I'm now at .13 with the dock at 209. YEAH!!:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tineras:
"System now powers on with a 4 second power button hold instead of 6 seconds."

This cannot be accurate. 6 (and even 4) seconds of holding down the power button is an eternity. I didn't test this before the update, but the power up time seems no different to me. It does take some time for the ASUS logo to appear, but you don't have to keep holding the power button down until that logo appears.

...

I just used a stopwatch and got the system to turn on after holding it for approximately 1 second. I repeated this several times with the same results.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
You're right thx for bringing it to my attention. It should read 'now powers on in 4 seconds instead of 6 seconds' so it's now slightly faster to the initial startup logo. I've changed the 1st post to reflect this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JMQUINT00:
I really like what ASUS is doing wit putting the updates on the website, that way if u dont feel like waiting on OTA you just got there get it and do it yourself. Why cant other companies do that, evidently is not that hard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tineras:
Ah, I just interpreted it wrong. That makes more sense. Thanks for clearing things up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pogul:
I don't know for sure, but just taking a stab it sounds like you may have rooted your device ??

You have ClockWorkMod on there and my ASSumption is that you'd have to return your TF back to 'stock' in order for the Asus updates to work.

Just my guess..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] millerliteguy:
I'm in the US and received my Transformer 32gig last Thursday. I still have yet to get the new firmware update.

I've tried clicking on check for updates and it says no updates are availabe.

I have downloaded the new firmware from the ASUS website, but how do I go about installing it?

Or am I just better off waiting for the OTA update to come through.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Read the guide in the pdf, available in the first post, or from the Asus site.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] mk2media:
i just updated to 8.2.3.13-20110511 and immediately afterwards the touchpad stopped working. after a couple of reboots it came back, but then stopped again a few minutes later.

another reboot and its still working this time, but not filling me with confidence that it has frozen twice immediately after an update :(

**edit**

as an update i left the unit over lunch (working ok) and came back to find it had frozen on the touchpad again. have emailed asus support as no touchpad means i may as well just have an eeepc and be done with it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diecast17:
I can't wait for another update with the keyboard dock battery life included in the update!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
There was meant to be another update before the 3.1 release (during May, with the things I mentioned in 1st post), but I had assumed Asus had stopped work on that one and incorporated it all into the 3.1 package. 3.1 will definitely not be out, as people are claiming, on tuesday, as Asus already stated that the schedule would be clarified at the upcoming Computex. I would say the 6th June is the earliest we could see it, but more likely mid-June. Unless they push it out on a weekend, which is doubtful.

I guess it's not possible to update without an sd card?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diecast17:
Yes they do over the air updates so you don't need a SD card
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jratzo:
Also in the 3.1 leak is "Zinio Reader"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AcidCool2K:
Just did the leaked fw update through SD. 3.1 is very nice. Things work a lot faster. Did experienced a freeze after rebootupon update. Had to do a hard shutdown n restart.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Well... contrary to what I said earlier, Asus don't seem to have holidays, as according to this, the update is definitely coming out on monday.

Thanks for the info.

Did they state WW, USA, etc ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AvRS:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
Well, it's 8:42 PM on Monday in Tapei, so less than 4 hours until it's May 31st there. I am betting we will see an update start rolling out soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] richB7:
Searched for this question but can't find a direct answer. The leaked version has a later version number than the official release. Is there any reason to flash the official release versus continuing with the leak?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AcidCool2K:
what version are you talking about? Kernel? Honeycomb? Fw? And where are you seeing the discussion on version dif?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] richB7:
I have not seen a discussion regarding version differences, I'm simply comparing the version numbers of the leak which I'm running versus the official release. If you look at the OP post you will see that the official release is a older version number (of 3.1) which I've verified by compaing what I'm running versus that on the Asus website.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
The build number in the first post is still blank-

Releasing 31st May 2011 ('HC3.1' screenshot)

(All region release)

Updated honeycomb to 3.1

Build number:

MobileDock version: 0209 (No update occurs, unless your dock was out of date from before)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] richB7:
You can see the build number on the Asus website.

Released 8.2.3.13

Leaked 8.4.4.5
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AcidCool2K:
I guess until it is official. Stuntdouble won't put a version number on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DroidxRage:
8.4.4.5 > 8.2.3.13

Oh, are you asking if you need to flash the official update before jumping to the leak? If so, I'd say it's probably not a terrible idea, but may not be necessary. I personally would, IMO.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Exactly. I'm still not sure if that leaked build was final or if there will be any updated build for tomorrows release. There are also a lot more fixes sure to be found than the list I have currently. I just got fed up of staring at the txt file on my desktop with all the details in so I pre-emptively added them to the list. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AvRS:
Well seeing as you've listed the old 3.01 version and not the 3.1 update coming tomorrow then of course the leaked one is newer but they won't have the latest update on their website yet seeing as it hasn't been released yet. Generally it seems to be a few days/a week till they put it on their site. Once the update has been released tomorrow you can then see if it's worth updating but I'll take official over a leak everyday.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DroidxRage:
Installed the leak, so far so good. Only thing missing is the movies in the market. :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
Yeah, but it's been May 31st in Taiwan for almost 11 hours now.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=241

We kinda assumed they meant the 31st in Taiwan, where Asus is based, and not the 31st in North America.

The picture shows a PS3 controller hooked up to the USB port on the dock.

Anybody know if this is possible?

Heya, I'm using the leaked 3.1 install from the dev forum; I noticed an option under the screen settings called "Mobile Dock Battery Saving Mode".

Has anyone experienced an improvement with the Mobile Dock since this update I wonder, or does it rely on some yet to be released keyboard dock update..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikewong27:
Where did you see this? I installed the leaked 3.1 on Saturday night, and I don't see the option that you are referring to..

Update: Nevermind, I found it. Not sure what is is for...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mamoulian666:
It now seems that the browser knows where the mouse pointer is hovering without it being 'clicked' - mouseover events seem to work now.

I haven't noticed this before, maybe it's a feature of 'improved mouse tracking'.

This will be quite handy in VNC.

Not tried GoogleMaps in the browser yet, maybe it'll allow us to set/drag waypoints.

3.1 update support NTFS filesystem now

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Cooky11111:
So is the 3.1 suppose to come up as an update or do you have to update it yourself?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikewong27:
Was your TF rooted and with a custom rom? Mine TF is not rooted, it has stock rom... I was not able to get NTFS hard drive to work on my TF before the 3.1 update. So it is an enhancement for me...:)

I'm in the UK and this morning I woke up and checked the updates bit on about phone in the settings. It says there is an update and I have to check my notificatiins, however there is no such notification.

Hey stuntdouble, i dont know if you want to change or add this to the page but the wifi driver is actually downgraded and so is the kernel, if they where upgrade i would assume Asus would have used higher version numbers

3.1 Kernel 2.6.36.3-0001

3.01 Wifi V5.248.35

new?

Is this low power thing new in the settings, in the screen tab there is a check box that mentons saving power when it's inactive. Either that or I missed this on my first run down of the settings, I'm hoping for the former and that it fixes the terrible power consumption of the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
It's a new option in the settings to enable/disable but the dock was updated in the last FOTA update so it's just cosmetic really.

I'm amazed none of you have mentioned that there is now a proper template when you edit/crop a wallpaper.

Oh and I really hope they re-add the updated wifi driver as it's sucking for me atm with really poor signal levels.

On the plus side, the XDA site now loads fine using the XDA 2010 template, so for those of you who switched to classic you may rejoice!

Edit: XDA viewing works fine. Text entry is still very laggy using 2010 template.

3.1 Install

I received my 16gb TF from BestBuy.com a week ago.

It's obviously a US model and has not been rooted.

I turned my TF on today, June 1, at 6:00 a.m. EDST.

There were no "notifications".

I checked for updates in settings and found one available so I downloaded and installed 3.1. It took approximately 10 minutes for the D/L and install.

After the install, I powered down and powered up the TF a couple of times with no issues.

Observations :

I still have my GMAIL widget

Overall the TF appears to be a little snappier

The touchscreen appears to be more sensitive

The browser 'slider' is kind of nice
