Forgot to mention, battery life that was amazing prior to the update is now plain bad. From a full charge at 8PM CST, it is now sitting in idle at 60% with no charge coming from the dock, so possibly the dock charge is drained out. I probably used it for 30mins playing Plants vs Zombies HD.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:
Yes I feel the same. Battery life seems to have degraded
[Eee Pad Transformer General] echomatics:
Having the same issue myself, seems to be worse off now with 3.1 installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I'm having some bothersome little issues as well, and so I'm going to do a factory reset on mine today. If the issues are still there afterward, I'll report them here. I'll also report if a factory reset helps anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HideYoKids:
I just used gametrailers and HD videos (twisted metal is what I tried) worked great. Not only did the video and audio match, they both played smoothly. I know that doesnt help but, it may just be yours.. or your connection.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
I had delivered these issues to my friend who is in Asus.

Hope this can help us to get better operations in 3.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Wybo:
As said in another thread, i have problems with betterylife too. Battery life was great, but now...

And it looks like stockbrowser is sometimes faster and better, but then at once it is very slow and laggy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
ok let me try that again then. If I could skip the stock browser altogether, some of my frustrations will be alleviated.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] myltz400:
Should I skip this update until it is worked out? If so how without root? And if I do install it do you think a factory reset before would help some of these problems?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
I also doing a factory reset now.

Maybe some problems will go with wind, I wish ...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bielinsk:
Just updated and have none of the mentioned issues. Can't comment on battery life quite yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikewong27:
My issue is not the battery life... Mine is random reboots while docked to the keyboard dock... It happened three to four times yesterday and one time this morning. By the way, I'm using the leaked 3.1. I'm wondering if there are any differences with the official 3.1 update and the leaked one?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
I have the leaked verison of 3.1 and the battery life sucks. Before I could ave about 10% for every hour now its down to 40 mins per 10%. I heard the guys over at the xoom forum are also not happy with the battery life on 3.1....I was hoping 3.1 would fix the lag on the browser but I guess not......the only thing they fix was the youtube app......pretty sad
[Eee Pad Transformer General] transformerfan:
WHOA...Official 3.1 and Mobile Sites ???

I swear since OTA 3.1 update, when I type a URL, eg, yahoo.com, or any URL, I get the mobile site version on my browser.

This was NOT the case with 3.0.1.

Is it just me ? Am I doing something wrong ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funnycreature:
You will probably have to set the User Agent String under the browser settings to desktop (again).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
For info I was getting the mobile URL on lots of sites with 3.01 ......
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jambo89liam:
In the stock browser, when you search via the address bar. It doesn't work search just takes you to google home page.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wooties:
I have the same issue. It bugs.

Also, along with battery usage being higher, the browser is LESS responsive.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] martabakeju:
Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but my wifi intermittently drops and won't upload/download data even though i can see the black up and down arrow on the bar.

I notice that the bar color is white instead of blue. This has happened to me at least 3 times a day.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] combat goofwing:
After waiting for the official update I'm beginning to regret it now, since updating I'm having loads of niggles

No g mail app

Lots of lag in lots of things from browser to screen rotation

More force closes than ever before

And just lots of sluggish random behaviour that just wasn't there before, I hope ASUS are as good as they have been and solve some of these with an update quick

sent from my LEE Pad Transformer........I wish
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funnycreature:
here you go (URL removed)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funnycreature:
+1 on the reboot... I am on the Primordial ROM. Has anyone had success going back to stock and factory reset?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] combat goofwing:
That's still hasn't worked,also noticed that in browser I no longer get a highlighted band when selecting something so no indication of if you have selected the right area

sent from my LEE Pad Transformer........I wish
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funnycreature:
that sucks. I used Titanium backup to backup the Gmail.apk because someone recommended it. A shame it doesn't work for you!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] life64x:
Same here. Type a long search..5 word or so. Using this a example, go to a link, go back. Blank google screen..go back again, 4 words then...dolphin works fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jinsoku3g:
I wish people would stick to this thread instead of making so many topics.

3.1 Updaters Beware

THANK YOU !!!

I went into User Agent String under Advanced Settings and found it set to "tablet".

I changed it to "desktop" and now all is well !

Evidently this is an artifact of the 3.1 update.

Why do I say this ? I have had my TF for one week and NEVER touched this setting.

I noticed the strangeness AFTER the 3.1 update.

So...I'm NOT crazy !

3.1 updaters BEWARE !

Thanks again
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eexda:
cannot add gmail attachments after update

I did not lose my widget after updating to 3.1; however I was able to attach a document to an email prior to the update and now after updating, the widget allows attaching a document but it does not appear in the sent message. I also tried with gmail in the web browser and there it just does not attach any files (I did not try the web browser method prior to updating so can't say whether that is a change).

EDIT: This may not be an update issue. Attachments send fine through Gmail widget if the file is on the tablet, but not if it is on the microsd card (called "removable" in the directory).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BeavermanA:
Ugh, I wish I had read about this update before installing.

I haven't used it yet, but damn installing it was a PITA.

Checked for update last night, said update available, but your charge must be 50% or greater to install the update. Ok no problem, NOT. Went upstairs and plugged it in, battery was not charging. Tried several power outlets, nothing. Restarted it a couple times, nothing. Plugged it into my computer and it detected the transformer, so obviously cable and port are good.

Soooooo plugged the transformer into a usb adapter from a smartphone AC power charger. Charge was at 31% when I started, ~20 hours later I finally reach 51% and install the update just a few minutes ago. Tried plugging it in with the proper AC cable, and now it works....wow.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Viper2488:
I've noticed the following (I factory reset after the update):

- In-Page searches don't work now, it will show you the total of the searched word found but won't take you through them by using the arrows

- Keyboard is a little less responsive, I do a lot of long typing and I find it catching up sometimes on one or two letters (even using android keyboard which is my default)

- When editing written text the green selector to navigate through words, if used a coupe of times, mis-aligns and is out of sync with the selected area

- The text cursor also mis-aligns sometimes and gives the appearance that there is already a space when there isn't

- In browser flash is poor

- More force closes and more "surprise" browser exiting

- I still can't play high and main HD mp4s, baseline still work perfectly
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbpaddler:
question is, did you get the dock update or not? My dock behavior is worse post 3.1 update, but I haven't gotten the dock update yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Viper2488:
I don't have a dock. All my experience is using the on-screen keyboard and editing with the screen
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbpaddler:
ahhh....Haven't had any issue on screen yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
Ive noticed all of Viper's issues, also the loss of searching from the address bar is a big one, I am not sure why they would take that away. Hopefully its just because ASUS rushed this out and its stuff that they can address on this version of 3.1. Also hopefully they are still in here so they can identify these issues quickly.

Either way, the re-sizable widgets are a nice upgrade.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Viper2488:
I'm glad it's not just me! Resizable Widgets is definately a good thing although you can't widen the bookmarks widget for some reason!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nebrando:
I like the resizable widget feature as well. Hopefully more widgets support resizing soon.

I really like being able to widen my gmail widget... :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] leeharo:
The individual Proxy settings for Wifi are just for the stock browser, which are not applicable on other apps like Youtube! although google has finally made this up, still very disappointed with the lack of support on proxies for apps :(

I cant watch the youtube with the app and also the mobile version as well, only the full version youtube is now working...weird
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wackadroid:
I'm getting this as well. Its really annoying.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wackadroid:
I'm seeing this too. Does anyone test these updates?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Viper2488:
I don't have this issue, I can search fine via the URL bar.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] digitheatre:
me too. quick control mode is ON
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wackadroid:
Quick control on here too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] geoffreywolter:
I've definitely noticed a slow down on the home screen, swiping from page to page and when changing rotation. In general things things feel more sluggish to me, flash playback is improved but it seems this update has its share of bugs to be squashed still. They pumped it out pretty quick, so here's hoping the updates come quickly as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] case0:
People who can't search in address bar, you need to turn Google instant off in settings, it bugs it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chungylau:
For those with higher power usage, could it be that the GPS is turned ON? You should set it to OFF to minimize power comnsumption.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Uthor:
I've posted in another thread about the Gmail widget missing for me, but I recently noticed this about the Music app, too. It eventually goes to the next song if I wait 20-30 seconds, which is annoying. Weirdly, if I hit the power button, the app will advance to the next song as soon as the screen turns on. No need to leave the lock screen.

Battery life seems fine for me. No slow downs either. I've had a bit more force closes than before, but Dolphin HD has updaed today, too. I'm not sure if it's the 3.1 update of the Dolphin update.

WiFi has been spotty, but I haven't narrowed that down either. I don't know if it's the update or the crappy network at work. It's been running fine for the last few hours.

I'm running stock software (no ROM) and installed the regular OTA update.

Some people have mentioned doing a factory reset. Has that been solving anything?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Where would u turn off GPS? Nevermind found it. It was on. Just turn it off. I don't remember if it was on in 3.0
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Uthor:
Settings -> Location & security -> Use GPS satelites. Uncheck the box.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Also what is "use location for google search"? is that part of GPS service? I have it enable. Is this a service for searching your city for the weather?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Uthor:
When you search something on Google (say, "Walmart"), it will take into account your location in your serach results (you'll get a map of the local Walmarts in your area). Uncheck that if you don't want to use that feature.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
- Stock Browser still re-draws websites, lags in the desktop Youtube site with 720p video. Typing in stuff in forms is also a pain as lag input is really noticeable.

- Bit of a battery drain, down to 70% after 2 hours' worth of gaming and movies. Usually still has 85% left when undertaking such tasks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
3.1 is a big disappointed imho. Couple of weeks ago reading the Xoom board and how guys stated that their tablet feels 25% better then before. Now, that 3.1 is here on the TF, it feels like its got worst then before. Battery life sucks, my default browser takes a long time to load. Typing on any forum not just this one is a pain in the ass. Dont even think about trying to go back to edit a post. Its slow as hell. Trying to delete a sentence with the default keyboard and also thumb keyboard takes forever. This is not cool. Past my return window I guess I have to hope that Asus will address these issues in the next update...smh
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FaithPast:
MyNet worked in the previous firmware. Was able to steam multiple video files formats from my QNap file server.

Now with the 3.1 update it is broken and can not see $h!7. It can not see the WDTV Live Hub, either of the 2 QNaps or any of my 3 Systems (2 PC, 1 Mac).

):

kinda upset personally
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AllTheWay:
Wow really

Not everything is going to be perfect on the device. With Gingerbread a whole new Tablet OS there are going to be some bugs etc. I am just excited to see ASUS already release 3 updates to the device. This has been great support from ASUS. I have not seen any other manufacture offer so many updates as of recently and promise updates and deliver on those time tables. I take my hats off to ASUS.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xformulax:
in my opinion, 3.1 is much improved over 3.0.1, also dont have as many issues as other users, but i went ahead and wiped so i've got a fresh install. (also running a rom this time, but i ran the 3.1 leak for a couple days too)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] turbulent28:
I just noticed that on my screen lock i have the messge to connect my charger......

But im showing 46%

That wasnt there before. Either its a simple bug, or the battery really isnt at that charge...

Ill try reboot. {But i did a reset after the update}

Reboot fixed the issue...

Also realized i wasnt under classic for this forum...huge difference

Boot up time is fast. Typing also is quick..not using asus keyboard thouhg
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Djang2003:
For those who have recently installed 3.1 you guys might want to look at your settings, and sift through it one by one. 3.1 may have activated some features as a new "default" which may be drawing some of the tablet's resources, such as GPS status, brightness levels, etc. what i have noticed is that the homescreen becomes laggy, especially during the last 5-10% of the homescreen transition mostly when NON-stock widgets are on. the more the widgets on a home page, the laggier it got. i have not encountered any significant lag when i tested out all 5 pages with icons only. the moment i added a widget, bogging started to happen. so i ended up doing 3 things to speed up my home screen. under settings>screen>animation>no animations. that sped up my screen transitions and opening app shortcuts on the homescreen. to lessen my screen clutter, i had to use "folder organizer" paid version to access customized and categorized apps without taking much of processor resource right off the home screen. it has sped up my transitioning to some extent. not using live wallpapers right now. i think most of the apps and/widgets out there is not yet optimized for honeycomb 3.0, much more 3.1. considering that some of the available apps/widgets may not have been optimized for the other incarnations of android as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Nope. I reverted back to my settings and battery drain looks higher than on 3.01- but it may be an illusion. ;)

I don't see any difference in smoothness after 3.1. Main difference is annoying sound when typing on the Google keyboard. :) (I have to turn it off, I hope there is an option for that.)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
Dear all,

I got an unofficial message from the friend in ASUS.

They had known the most issues we talking about,

and also work hard on solving those problems asap.

(But some issues are came from Google, should wait for the BIG BOSS.)

I thing this is a good news for us,

that means ASUS is very serious on the PAD market this time.

It is GOOD !!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VoXHTC:
We're saved!!

....my god.. just...sigh..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] martinsharpe2k6:
I have none of these issues I've just tried the music player and mine goes to the next song with the screen ff OK.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Uthor:
Mine works occasionally. I've also noticed crackling sounds come and go. Also, the Daytrotter app stops playing as soon as the screen turns off. I'm begining to wonder if it's a battery saving "feature" at work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
So do I.

And it is an issue from the power saving method actually ...

Now I use PowerAMP to instead of it, but that makes battery life worse.

Wish the patch can be produced soon ~
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
WiFi levels appear to be lower after 3.1 update. This could be firmware change in WiFi Modem or change in level gauge algorithm. Not sure yet. But it looks like transfer rate is lower so may be actual lower signal level. I don't recall any major issues with previous modem version may be restore it in next update..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Viper2488:
Although I don't think the xoom has these issues so surely not a google problem?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Just wanted to toss my major problems into the ring:

1. Battery life is definitely down. Let mine sit overnight, and between 12:40am and 7:00am it went from 71% to 40%. I'd noticed that it was burning more life yesterday as well. This is most disappointing because I'd found the latest 3.0.1 update had seemed to improve standby battery life significantly. This seems like a real step back.

2. My wifi, which was rock solid prior to 3.1, is not flaky as all get out. It seems to get a weaker signal pretty much everywhere at home, and it drops connections intermittently even when I have a very solid connection (in my bedroom, less than 10" from my Netgear WNDR4000). This seemed to happen quite often last night when I clicked on a link that opened the browser--it's as if the request kills the connection and then it needs to restart. I do wonder why Asus dropped the wifi driver back to an earlier version.

3. I'm surprised that they still haven't fixed the battery stats problem. Makes it kind of hard to diagnose #1.

Hopefully Asus will come out with a fix soon. I'm impressed that they released 3.1 as quickly as they did, and so I'm hopeful that they'll resolve some of these widespread issues quickly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I'm thinking the Music app is just flaky in general, at least the newest version that supports Google Music Beta. I can't get it to go to the next song on my Epic most of the time either.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
I can't tell the details, cause I didn't get related messages.

But I think they know the issues more distinctly then us.

All I can do is wait for the patches.

If xoom can fix or avoid the problem,

I alse hope that they can do it.

I think it is a key point that Asus can keep alive in pad market or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] akashhhhh:
Why are you being a **** when he was just trying to help?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
If you hang out in the Xoom forums you find it does have issue with browser performance, flash in browser, lags, etc. 3.1 is 3.1.:(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
Yay! Thank you!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CenturyBreak:
Here too... ~ 3 times yesterday (after the 3.1 update in the AyEm) and once so far today. :mad:

Need to switch wifi off (via the dock button) and wait... then switch it back on, or when not using the dock, hit airplane mode and then back to regular mode.

Annoying as hell! :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Viper2488:
I did have a look through 4 pages of the xoom board but could find anything akin to the issues we're having. I also saw someone else mention xooms aren't having the issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikewong27:
I agree with you. So far Asus has great support... They already had three updates out in about one month... I can't say the same for Samsung tablets and cellphones... It took them 2 or 3 months just to release one update... Took about 6 months to release froyo on Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S products... That's the reason why I would not purchase another Samsung phone or tablet...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
The weather widget doesn't refresh anymore. Used to work before 3.1
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xShadoWxDrifTx:
I can't believe the gmail widget is missing after update..

Other than that.. it seems smoother
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lrthumwood:
The new option within settings to 'save power' when the screen goes to sleep when the dock is connected (helping the battery) does not seem to work for me, whenever the keyboard is connected it charges the transformer up to max then does not understand the tablet battery is full so just dumps the rest of its charge into the oblivion, very frustrating. Makes the keyboard a little useless imo, it means you cannot really transport the device unless you do so in 2 parts. Very strange design indeed.

Had I of known this before purchase, I may of held off and watched to see if this problem was addressed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] habanosrus:
Had an issue with the device thinking my headset was connected when in fact it was not. Reflashed 3.01 from ASUS website to fix the problem, however, it now shows that there is no 3.1 update for my device (setting->about-system update).

Called ASUS and service tech said that ASUS did not push the 3.1 update to Transformer devices. Hate to argue with someone who barely speaks English. Will call again to see if I can get someone else.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Terminatus:
Rather unhappy at the moment...

Lost the Gmail widget. Are there any solutions that don't involve having root or doing a factory reset?

Tablet sometimes reboots in sleep mode (literally JUST did this as I looked over at my tablet).

Xbox 360 (usb/wired) controller does not function.

Touchpad on my dock no longer functions--at all. USB mouse still works though.

Unlock key on my dock no longer wakes up the tablet consistently.

Anybody else have the dock issues I'm experiencing? I have dock firmware EP101-0209 (that's the latest I believe).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lazydesi:
stock browser has a few forced close happened in last few hrs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kiz:
I have had this too. It seemed to go away after a reboot, but fingers will remain crossed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] martabakeju:
I've rebooted several times already...but the issue is still there
