No updates yet in toronto:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BBKB1217:
I dont think it will be a persistent issue in the future (if it even is now). should only be a problem with this round. after you update to an OTA version, the history of FW shouldnt come into play.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dcAndroidFan:
Update doesn't seem to have improved my WiFi performance in general. Looks like this one was more geared towards fixing the random lockups and potentially helping with the BT interference issue. I'm on my work WiFi which is a pretty weak signal, and I'm getting 1200k throughput on my HTC Incredible, but the Prime is struggling to get 400-700k. Same as before -- stays connected but just can't keep up with other devices on throughput.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
?!

The bootloader unlock WILL NOT come in the form of an OTA update. That's not how any mobile manufacturer has done it or will ever do it. It will come in the form of a file that the user must elect to download, after seeing the warranty voiding disclaimers and after consenting to the release of liability.

In other words, the vast majority of devices will still have a locked bootloader, as the manufacturer has intended (and will keep device tampering low), and those willing to accept the risks will have to explicitly elect to do so.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Khyrdantai:
Updated mine in Clearwater, Florida.

I never got the 11.1 update, I guess it's fine that I skipped over it to this one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dabbill:
11.1 was a beta update you had to manually load. It did not come as a OTA update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deathbyfugu:
So all these people got the update and not a single person uploaded the .zip from their Prime to their comp and then to XDA... Thanks everyone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beavertank:
I'm on .11.1 too and not seeing the update. Seems like we proud few manual updaters will have manually update to .13 as well.

Super lame. I wish Asus didn't take nearly a week to post the update files on their page...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sgtcody:
Ad-Hoc?

I can't update right now but I'm curious if they fixed Ad-Hoc tethering. Could someone test please?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
Where does the update file save? I will attempt it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Seriously doubt it but we already fixed this issue within xda. My ad hoc tether is working fine again with this method ima link you to. You need to be rooted. Fairly quick n easy fix.

Hi. Just tried updating and I keep getting an error message during install. I have root on my TF201, any suggestions?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deathbyfugu:
Thanks for trying - honestly I don't know the answer to that atm... if you have a root explorer type file manager please check in /Cache, /Data, /Data/Data, it might even be on the root of the internal SD. I wish I knew the answer. I sincerely appreciate your willingness to help. :D

Kind of looks like the update servers are getting hammered. Mine is sitting there spinning when I click "Check Update."

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
In NYC, no notification and had to check manually. Update downloaded and applied without any issues. Wifi and BT performance seems unchanged for me. I can say that system performance has greatly improved. Even though I was not having the lockup/reboot issue I was definitely having some bizarre performance issues with apps and games that I should not have seen. These are all gone. So far so good. Will keep toying throughout the day to see if there are any other changes that are readily apparent.

Update: Ran my standard rounds of benchmarks and the results were very promising. Overall all benchmark scores have increased between 5% and 8%. Applications, particularly graphics intensive games, load MUCH quicker and perform much better as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
OK, got it. renamed it to update.zip and it definitely looks like the update file.

Gonna upload it now.

Thank you, this looks promising

This is what I can only assume to be the OTA update. Someone smarter than I should check it out before installing.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61259985/Prime OTA 2.08.2012.zip

The actual name of the file was dlpkgfile and had no extension.

It would not show up in windows 7 until i added in the zip extension.

It was found in the \cache folder.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdynak:
update downloaded.. not rooted yet and have not proceeded with update.. should I root and use rootkeeper before updating? If the bootloader unlock is released then keeping root in not a issue right? Until that comes the only thing I see is doing the ad-hoc mod. I have already set my phone in a mode that works without doing that.. any other good reasons to root and maintain for now I should consider? thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maddog986:
If you want root then make sure to do it before the update then use voodoo to keep root. Otherwise they could have patched the hole to prevent rooting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] youngnex:
There is already a solution for ad-hoc, go search for it. Works perfectly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
Update not working for me. It starts, gets about 1/3 of the way done and then fails.

Did anyone with root have to use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to temp unroot?

Does anyone know if I use temp unroot and then install the update if I will be able to get root back?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maddog986:
Updates always break root. But we have been using an app called Voodoo OTA Root Keeper to restore root after updates.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
damn, forgot to save root in my excitement =\
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] avinash60:
Missouri, OTA Update done, though I had to manually check for it in the settings.

The OTA Rootkeeper restores the root after the update, but as with the updates before Titanium Backup says that it is non optimized. You have to tell it to optimize the root and then reboot to get the full root permissions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
Temp unroot and update still fails for me =(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maddog986:
I didn't have to unroot. You didn't remove any system apps did you?

Removing system apps will make updating impossible (at least it did on my DX). If you want to remove them you need to "freeze" them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
No need to temp unroot. All you have to make sure is that all those boxes are checked before you update. Meaning your root su is saved n backed up. Then just update. Afterwards when its done, open voodoo up then press restore root. Easy. I did it with no problems n did not temp unroot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
Sadly just placing it in \cache and renaming it dlpkgfile has not made it detect it for me, even setting permissions to match other things in cache has not helped. I'm going to try a few more things, though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blinky44:
Normally you just put it in the sdcard folder and cold restart, however if it is somthing other than .12 then who knows what it might do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] psymont:
I had rooted my Prime on 9.4.2.11 and was using SwitchMe to have multiple logins. I made the mistake of thinking OTA RootKeeper was on the login i was using at the time I updated but it was on the other login. I now cant switch because I lost root on my current login. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] norm883:
This will work but this is not the file I did multiple versions of prior post. I renamed to: US_epad-user-9.4.2.12 and it was a zip file. Prime saw it in either the cache file or base of SD and said update available I hit the reboot to install. It was only like 9.4 megs. It rebooted to green droid with blue line moving then he fell over, green droid with red triangle.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
Have you tried wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk? Because that one worked for me on my Prime even before the update.

And, BTW, update went fine (I didn't have the same issues with the update aborting as I did last time) and I was able to restore root with Rootkeeper. I just tested Wifi Tether beta 11 again, post upgrade, and it still works fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Good to know as I have no updated yet, to busy.

BTW, the wpa_supplicant2 file we changed has these details: 470.21k and my edit date is 03 Feb 12 15:09:00 which is different than the original we backed up. SO, after this update, if that file has new mod dates & file size that means they did tweak it and it is their update that now is fixing ad hoc and not mine. If the mod dates and file size are same, it is my update that is still working. I will report back the results after I run the updater.

Ok, did my update (new york, LI), and restore root with rootkeeper, everything is working has it should. Thanx asus for providing quick updates to ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nattylite:
You generally have to temp unroot when you update OTA b/c you "need stock" to update stock. After you update, you should be able to restore root. In fact, if you try to update with unroot you will likely lose the ability to restore it.

Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

This was to comment from the 11.1 thread.

Unzip original file which would already be done with the one that we just got and put it in the sdcard folder and cold start. US_epad-user-9.4.2.11.1.zip. I tried with just leaving the file as provided which also did nothing but maybe we need to change it to the same wording as this with .12 at the end. Still wondering thought that the cache file may not be zipped to renaming it to xxx zip is not going to work anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
You need to empty the cache for the dmclient, reboot, then check for updates manually again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spencerj2001:
One issue I had which I believed this update has fixed is when on pressing the recent app button you would sometimes get screen tearing. Can anyone else comment on this who has experience this bug.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blinky44:
Notes somewhere about deleting a specific file that is cached to resolve this. Maybe in the official serial number thread or an older one. I had the same problem with my first prime and that got it resolved. Of course I was a noob and did not know even how to install an update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
I didn't temp unroot and the update went fine. You just have to make sure that, if you altered or deleted any /system apps, that you put them back the way they were before you update. You don't even need to remove stuff you put in /system that wasn't there from ASUS (for example, I left Cerberus and Appwidgetpicker and they were untouched and didn't interfere with the update).

Make sure you back up root with Voodoo Rootkeeper before you do the update.

Anyone noticing improved wifi after this update?

I am sitting at my university library in a relatively weak wifi spot.

I just changed my wpa_supplicant2 file this morning before the update. NO changes to this file with the update.

Thanks a ton for all of your efforts in making the Ad-Hoc issue a non issue:D

Forgot to mention that I did NOT lose root with the update. I did NOT need to restore using OTA RootKeeper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
The results seem a little scattered based on what I've read from folks here since the update, but an overall lean towards moderately better wi-fi reception. I will have to see what my results are at home since here at work we have such a tight mesh of WAPs that I get good signal almost anywhere in the building and then some. (...of course, I helped architect the WAP placement, so yeah...)

For all of us on 9.4.2.11.1 we will not get the OTA. That is why we are trying to get a good work around.

My conclusion.... you ping got worse..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xceebeex:
What dB readings are you getting and how far from your router are you? I went with the TF101 to replace my Acer A500 that was having wifi issues. The reason I went with the TF101 (aside from cost) is that I have read way too many bad reviews about the wifi on the prime and I don't want to end up with the same problem I had with my Acer.

I "fixed" the issue in my home with my Acer, but that only worked at my house. I was getting -65dB sitting like 15 feet from my Access Point and now sitting in that same exact spot I get -45 dB with the TF101 so that is obviously a HUGE difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
wrong

You do NOT have to temp unroot to use an OTA. All you will WANT to do is use voodoo rootkeeper BEFORE the OTA to backup root and then use it to restore root once the OTA kills it. No reason to temp unroot.

-68 db Prime

-55 db BB 9700

Just download them and use Root Explorer to put them back in /system/app, change your permissions to read rw-r--r-- and reboot, then you should be good.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mt6272:
1. In your opinion, does this indicate that my wifi itself has indeed gotten worse? (Unsure if this question is so easily answered)

2. Does there being such a change suggest that at least a large part of the bad wifi far away from router issue is software related and can be further improved?

Excuse my inexpertise on the issue!

Return..

After this update, I decided I'm going to return my device to Best Buy tomorrow. One, because my 14 days is up in three days and two, it seems the update didn't address what I wanted it to:weak WiFi (which I know the chances are pretty slim).

I have the normal split foyer home w/ a router sitting upstairs AND downstairs. While sitting in my living room upstairs, about 25 feet away from my upstairs one, and 20 feet away from the one downstairs, I can't get either in green strength w/ Analyzer. Plus, I can't stream YouTube without a HUGE buffer at the begging and 10 or so during the playback. I do not have a big house my any means, and shouldn't require two AP!!

Sitting in the same spot, with network off/wireless on, My Galaxy Nexus works like a charm..on both routers.

Sad, want to love this tablet so much! Maybe get a replacement and give it another 14 days..then..going to call it a day w/ Asus... Bummed!!!

Try a Cold Boot to see if it will free things up for you.

Cold Boot: Unplug the power cord and shut the unit off and Press and Hold the power button and the Hard volume button together until after the normal start up screen appears and is joined by some small print at the top of the screen then let them both go. After a few seconds you should see a couple of shapes in the middle of the screen called "Wipe Data" and "Android". Wait a few more seconds until the term "Cold Boot" appears in the list near the top of the screens and just press and release the "Down" volume button again and let it reboot. If you own the dock be sure and do this with the dock connected.
