No better GPS performance for me with the new firmware.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dabbill:
It seems auto brightness is now working for me. Before it was to dark no matter what light i was in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Butch1326:
No, but it could be me. I plugged in my Nexus One, and adb is not seeing it either. Give me a couple of minutes to work through the issue. If you have an idea, let me know and when I get it worked out I'll give it a try.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
If you can get adb to see your device, then maybe you can just push /system/app from a downloaded system dump back into your device. I wish you the best of luck.

There are a few system dumps in the dev section, make sure that you have the correct one for the version of ICS that you are in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JohnDaddyo:
May I ask, what app that picture is from?

While I'm at it...

Did you use Voodoo? I did and after the update, I had the option to Restore

root. It did, I saw the message, "Restored" but, I'm not :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bindir:
Same issue here, used ota to restore su, said it restored, but lost root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
When you restore root with OTA rootkeeper it seems to be a partial root. According to Titanium Backup it is a non optimal root. TB will attempt to restore full root and it will change permissions. After reboot it seems to work OK. Also for those that say they did not loose root I think that is just superuser telling an app that has already been approved it is still approved
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
That is a dashboard view from GPS essentials - free from the market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bindir:
I might be mistaken, but if rootkeeper just kept a copy of the SUID binary for su, shouldn't that just work? uid 0 is always uid0
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I know this doesn't help people who deleted a bunch of Asus .apk files already, but in the future, why not just rename them (i.e., rename calculator.apk to calculator.apk.old). It will remove them from your apps drawer, and you can then easily rename it again when you need to do an OTA update. Just something to keep in mind moving forward.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Good advice, and something that I tend to do whenever modifying anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
So I got home from work and no improvements on GPS at all. No sats found at all. I'm starting to feel like it may never work. Gonna wait it out for further developments before I consider RMA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Exactly why some people should not root or just leave the system stuff alone. It isn't like this tablet is made by AT&T with a ton of bloatware..lol. Device still runs fast n lag free, at least for me, with Asus stuff or system stuff still installed.

Good luck...just can't imagine what possessed you to delete everything SMH That's like deleting all essential info/files needed for a computer to boot and work properly n expect it to still run.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
Did Asus go down? been trying update ota got fed up, went to Asus websites for the prime and would not load , is this just me ?

Edit , found info in another thread about root server is down dude , server is down
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deltaechoe:
Really the server is down? I just updated mine about the time you made your edit

Also, when you guys use rootkeeper to restore your root, don't forget to fix the permissions on the SU binary (if you don't know how to do it manually, the titanium backup app should be able to if it needs it)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] John Kotches:
After using rootkeeper to restore, I find that su is still 06755 and don't need to be fixed.

Regards,
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JohnDaddyo:
So, can those of us who lost root, can we re root the same way?

I did it by watching a ZedoMax video.

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

If I have lost root, is there a way to get it back?

I thought I was covered by using VooDoo but,

obviously I did something wrong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
No, you'll have to wait for updated root process.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JohnDaddyo:
Damn! Probably won't be long though.

Hey, thanks for answering!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nategodin:
Yep, same here... looks like Voodoo OTA RootKeeper made a copy of the setuid/setgid "su" binary as /system/su-backup, then restored it to /system/bin/su after I applied the OTA update. The only difference between the two binaries is that the copy's gid is 0, and the one in in /system/bin is owned by the "shell" group, as are the vast majority of the files in that directory. Anyway, SetCPU seems to run fine, but Cisco AnyConnect is freaking out, maybe because I didn't restore the tun.ko module before running it. Trying a reboot now...

ETA: Rebooting didn't fix the problem, nor did reinstating AnyConnect and BusyBox. However, when I ran Titanium Backup, it noted the same discrepancy in the GID, and offered to fix the problem. After it reset the GID to 0 and I rebooted, AnyConnect worked fine. Guess I should let the Voodoo developer know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lp_stealth:
any ETA on the update in Canada?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] orangeirwin:
I just performed the update manually and wifi worked great for 10 minutes now it will see networks but will not connect to anythinig.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ericvq:
That happened to me with the ICS update. Finally rebooted my router and was able to connect again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madmike23:
Yea, I've been trying this update for a couple days now. Still no success. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stinebd:
Seems like a routing issue. My home and work connections (both RCN) couldn't get to it, but I tried tethering through ATT and got it right away.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] myeepad:
I am in Toronto and just got the download 30 minutes ago. It took about 7 minutes to finish after 3 reboots. Everything seems fine except I have to restore root from Voodoo OTA. The GPS is able to find 10 sats and locked 8 of them indoor. Have to test it out more tomorrow morning.

I am so far very happy with this smooth upgrade. Good work, Asus!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
Just got the update today. Mine fails. Android guy on his back.. I am not rooted.. the only thing I have done is changed the GPS.cnfg file
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
I'm in the US and still don't have the update. I'm on the '.9 version right now. Do I need to revert back to '.7? I can't figure out why I don't have it any why it doesn't show up when I search for it. Should I erase the zip from the root of my sd or...... wth??

When y'all say you've installed it manually, is it on the Asus site? I looked and didn't see it there.

You'd think i was a newb-doh!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmecherul:
Well it seems that things are improving. Firmware wise, they just updated the gps firmware to 6.9.13 from 6.8.13, but the overall experience is getting better. Wifi seems a little faster, and and the biggest thing for me is that the browser is working much better where before used to hang quiet often, so now it seems more fluid. Also, the the touchscreen seems to be working better. Hope they keep it up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nezura:
Still no update here from toronto as well...how do they decide who in Canada gets it and who doesn't?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] V3ng:
UK Prime here, just noticed a system update. Will install and see what changes ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] silverwings2008:
Changes I've noticed so far

1. Last update was smooth, but im sure its generally even smoother .

2. Stock browser has less hangs.

3. Stock email client now works a lot better. Exchange now syncs a whole month whereas before it could only handle a week.

4. Swype on stock (asus) keyboard is working.

For anyone with issues on browser hangs can i suggest you delete flash player, restart tablet and reinstall. It does make a significant difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MACBLACK91:
Update here in Germany

Asus task mananger works now for me.

Will look if my gps works
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] V3ng:
GPS went to 6.9.13, but didn't improve GPS for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LK265:
UK Prime updated this morning, installed without a hiccup in 3 mins, everything seems a little bit better, even my gps locks and can see 14 sats!

Keep 'em coming Asus!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rimoth:
Does the stock email client work with MS Exchange?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
It works fine with Exchange, yes :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] silverwings2008:
I'm using it with hotmail exchange active sync which the app set up automatically, however you can do it manually too. Try it out yourself and report back. Previously it was very buggy, but now working flawlessly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] black-DraGon82:
in germany it is a full update to ics :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] italia0101:
Just did the update in the UK, ... anyone else still getiing random flickers at certain points?

Mine only occers in YouTube app, when I Pres search
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madmike23:
Thanks man! That work-around worked for me this morning. Didn't last night though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dagrog:
After the update the GPS works, again (needed a cold boot after the first updates forn it to work, ICS broke it, then the last update fixed it).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
This is not a GPS fix at all, people reporting GPS improvement are mostly going through Placebo due to firmware version change. GPS is obstructed just as much as before, the driver might be better handling GPS signals it finds, but it cannot find more signals and you cannot use it for navigation. Otherwise people would post about improvements all around, but that's not the case, some have it and some don't is the same situation as before.

According to ASUS UK this fix was to fix the screen banding issues and graphical glitches.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bower123456:
My gps is defiantly better found 12 sats and locked on 10!

Bad news is mine didnt have the screen flicker but now when waking it from sleep it flickers like mad for a few seconds
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chistery:
Still can't find any satellites whilst my Gnex finds 5 within seconds.

Also, keep losing wifi after the update, never happened before. hmmm. :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
Can't get update

Well after seeing people update yesterday, I thought I would update as soon as I got home yesteray, but couldn't get the update for some damn reason. Then I even visited the asus webpage to see if I can download directly, but they were down. Perhaps a bunch of Anonymous users bought the prime and got pissed off at Asus....hahah.

Anyway, was going to test the GPS. Seems like some people saying it improved the GPS...which I very much doubt. I wanted to test for myself but still can't. Will try again tonight...also might try connecting through my cell phone access point as someone mention it might be some routing issue. This whole thing is such a mess...my wifi sucks also. I get 5mbps or less or disconnect totally in my own house. Less than 50ft away from access point. That is just sad....I'm so damn sick of it. Asus needs to offer us the ability to take back in the US. I'm going to continue to bug them on their facebook and everywhere else I get a chance to do so.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
I had the same issues, i thought the server had gone down since even their website failed to load , another posters work around using a tether got the job done for me after a day and a half of cold boots and playing with settings. Try another network, or if that fails seems like tethering is working for people...seems kind of strange...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lao Mayer:
Updated 5 minutes ago. GPS didn't improve from my point of view. Will see how it goes in the next few days. Root was kept with Voodoo.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MirQoo:
i've noticed Wifi improvement, ... its much more better after update, im testing using wifi analyzer. before update ive got signal strength a lot lower then my Desire HD.. now after update its even better then on my DHD... and much more stable. (before update i was like -70dbm to -80dBm, now its -40 to -50dBm)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
According to some here what you may be experiencing is the placebo effect.... or perhaps you are 16 years old and spent all your Xmas cash on the Prime and need to somehow justify your purchase.

My reasons for being content with my Prime stem from abuse as a child and a deep down desire to sleep with my mother.

XDA-Psychologists
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I also kick puppies for the very same reasons, so I'm with you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Derekh1234:
You made me lol!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
Thanks given. I've been trying since it was issued but couldn't connect. Changed to a tether with my cell and instant success. Thank you!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmt230:
Funny. :D But seriously, I've seen a boost in wifi performance as well. I was always content with it, but before ICS I was regularly getting below 10mbps from speedtest.net in my room (across the house from the router - though I would get decent signal next to the router). Now I'm consistently getting 20mbps in the same place. I don't know what could have changed if anything, but there is a significant difference. GPS is still weak (but working), but I never use GPS anyway...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Co0n:
My Wifi improved, too.

I was about to sent it for repair, but after the update the connection got a lot better.

Thanks Asus!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willyspuddle:
My wifi was strong, -40 to -50 from new but would sporadically fluctuate to -60 /-70 then back up. Did this every 60 seconds or so. Now wifi just stays at the same -40/-50 and does not fluctuate.

This made little to no difference in real world surfing, but I can see its more stable.

Cheers!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Boojum:
Picked up the OTA update about 14:00 UK time. Prime abruptly rebooted this evening and now auto-rotate doesn't work.

*** Update: deliberate reboot fixed problem
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] astralmind:
damn.. we've got similar issues!

Joking aside (I wasn't), I noticed dramatic improvements in Wifi going from HC to ICS (unpacked my TP last night)... so it could be that I magically upgraded to that version directly.

In any case it's still very obvious that the back casing is blocking the signal: regardless of the distance I stand from my router, the angle (screen facing vs back facing) can double my speed. Then again, barely noticeable when it comes to net surfing (thank you ****ty isp) but for LAN file transfer it shows.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MirQoo:
i just wrote the facts, ive been using wifi analyzer before and after update and these are results. I didnt have any problem with wifi before, im on 4mbps internet, so i dont care about wifi speed at all... I was and still am totally satisfied with prime. just wanted to post here some feedback from my point of view, thats all.

and btw im not 16yo :) im 22 and bought it with my scholarship cash, and it was best buy i could make
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] black-DraGon82:
i´m back now @ home... i was in town and i have tested my prime after ics update... i love ics but hate the gps update... it´s cr@p... my gps is much unstable than before... :mad: i want my old gps firmware back!!! :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
Mine will not install period.. always crashes with android guy on his back.. kind of stupid.. I unroot I have not removed any asus programs..

Edited the GPS.Conf only
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JPxM0Dz:
In response to all GPS issues and firmware updates. Although there may be firmware updates to address GPS on the Prime, your going to be waiting a very long time if you think that's going to resolve the problems.

GPS issues are all related to hardware design, no firmware will fix that, hense the TF700T with newly designed back.

So unless you physically remove the all aluminum back panel from your Prime, don't expect any miracle firmware to fix your GPS

End of story... :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] labtec3:
A note on the GPS. If the Prime was rebooted the GPS will probably cold start. This means it must re-acquire the almanac and ephemeris data to obtain best performance. The best way to accomplish this is outside with a clear view of the sky. This does not mean it will work great as the aluminum cover still dramatically reduces its sensitivity however it will allow the GPS to lock on satellites faster and help TTFF (Time To First Fix).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
My GPS worked in my car before the last update.. Now it doesn't work at all.. Everything else is awesome.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] black-DraGon82:
+1 it is strange... and annoying
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fundun:
My GPS wouldn't work in the car at all and now it locks on to 8 satellites according to GPS Test and Copilot Live. I was rooted and installed the update with Voodoo Rootkeeper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Ah my prime comes next week :) I wonder what firmware will be on it. Btw totally funny how 50% of this thread is about gps. I think thats a sign that everything else is working flawlessly.

As people usually only complain about stuff and never say the stuff thats good^^
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Boojum:
Qualitative view is that, after firmware update,update wireless connection is appreciably worse. Places in the house that were previously poor reception are now dead. All other spots are also one step worse.

P.S.Wtf has happened to Thumb Keyboard? It now duplicates the previous word after a full stop or comma.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
I know it seems silly, but try removing the custom boot animation. You never know. Try and think of any other changes you might have made and revert them back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
No your problem is user error.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Do you have any system apps frozen or removed? That would likely be the cause.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Frooty:
Yep, I still got the random lock ups after this update. If anything, they seemed worse.

However my Prime also just fell off my bed onto the ground and now the screen doesn't work. It's completely black :( I feel like I'm screwed now and will need to RMA it or return it no matter what.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
I already had...all files from /data/local are gone
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] colbyb25:
Not me, but I have only had my Prime reboot once, though I have had about 4 instances of the graphic issue. No issues so far and even got two satellites connected from in my house...not that I care about GPS, but good to know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
Accidental damage isn't covered under warranty.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:

Couldn't resist :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
Try holding down the power and Vol down button for about 10-15 seconds. Then try and turn it on again with just the power button. Mine did that once before.

Post update my GPS does seem to be working a little better. Picked up about 11 SATs and maintained connection. Before it would jump between 0-10 and would drop completely intermittently. GPS wasn't important to me, so it's a non-issue, but seems they "may" be making progress.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hollywould:
Just updated successfully, but lost Root. Now I am unable to root using 1 click method I used before. Hope there is a fix for this soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
MASSIVE SAD FACE for you:(

attempt 4 with unrooted failed as well...it starts fine then at a quarter of the way starts creeping and at about 1/2 of the way it changes to the failed image
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Yeah use a retain root app before updating. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HiTech126:
Updated successfully, don't really see any difference. Root lost, but restored with RootKeeper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
I guess we'll get the WW version hitting tomorrow about this time then :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
I unrooted using voodoo and it still failed =\
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] achuong08:
D; hopefully you can get a return for the bugs :X
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SuperHerb:
I noticed the stuttering not responding wait/force close stock browser issue has disappeared.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Frooty:
I've been trying that and still doesn't do anything. I've rebooted it a few times with no success. It's weird because the touch screen part of the screen(along with the whole rest of the tablet) still works.

I understand however I personally feel like it should still be covered as it was only a 2 foot drop, and it wasn't like it fell hard or anything. I feel like it should be able to handle that.

Either way I guess it's up to Asus or Newegg to decide whether they want to accept it. If not then I'll be extremely sad. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xdaspyder:
Same case for me. Updated fine and it didn't factory reset. Should be able to flash this fine if your rooted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Can anyone still with root post framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex

Just want to see if they changed anything in there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
JUST tell a little lie.. They can not tell you dropped it unless it has a crack or dent.... I think I might return it to Newegg... Instead of asus.. Idk.. Who I want to return it to
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xXxDieselxXx:
I can confirm the GPS is working much much better. Now I can see ton of satellites staying indoor.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
Me too...that ws my 5th attempt...any ideas to try people...I would rather not reset though.

I have tried

1st attempt: normal...rooted +custom anim

2nd Attempt: rooted removed custom anim

3rd attempt: rooted still no custom boot, plugged in

4th attempt: unrooted

5th attempt: rooted + custom boot

All failed any idead to help fix it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
first noticeable glitch with this update is sudden loss of sound.

Was watching a Youtube video, then another video and after I finished that video I went to rewind it. Only to discover after buffering that the audio was gone.

Went to play another Youtube video, no audio.

Went to the Music app, played a music file, no audio.

Will reboot system to see if this problem goes away.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Caanon:
can anyone post a link to the file so I can do it manually? Looks like my Beta firmware (9.4.2.9) doesn't want to update,as I don't see any available updates in the menu.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
this is annoying, have you done anything else? I have a custom boot animation but i doubt thats it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rsarno:
this is bullsh*t every time i make a duplicate post, i get flamed and merged lol.

i was first poster damnit! Crap haha
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
I unrooted also using voodoo and tried to update but failed. Then I rebooted and saw that it was downloading the update. Downloading now.

May just have to reboot to convince the system that it is no longer rooted maybe.

Edit: Success!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Hell, can someone with root and the new update upload a full system dump and post link. Just copy everything in /system folder. Make sure there are no paid apps in /system/apps folder that way link won't get shut down. I'll de-odex it. and re-post. Thanks.
