Ugh. I'm really regretting buying this tablet, as things just seem to keep getting worse. I never had any lockups or reboots, and this update has noticeable hurt my battery life. Unreal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
Seems mine is getting worse too. After every update it crashes more and runs slower. I use to have just OK Bluetooth/Wifi performance. Now forget it. If I have Bluetooth running on my headset my wifi performance goes WAY WAY down. Damn, I love this tablet but there is so much I can take at this time. Seriously, if the Samsung 10 incher doesn't have these issues I just may try to get my money back for this thing and get the Samsung and leave Asus alone for a long time. I'm one of the patient ones and even suggest people to wait but now I'm getting frustrated and need to throw some cake!!! COME ON ASUS!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Yes, my battery life is decreasing at a rate roughly 30% faster than it did yesterday prior to the update, as measured by Battery Monitor Pro.

Linux exists outside of android. The Linux kernel underwent a major revision a little while back, and it is beginning to make appearances on android devices. The 2.6 kernel base is not Gingerbread, it is just a linux kernel. The 3.0 is not an ICS kernel, it is just a linux kernel. I may be wrong, but didn't the kernel switch to GPL3? Perhaps some of the code is not GPL3 compliant, so that's why we're on 2.6 still. Dunno, but not really that big of a deal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgoodsell:
I had the same issue and instead of rebooting do a cold boot. It worked for me and have not had any issues with DMCLIENT
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
id be happy to be beta testing than random rebooting : )
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
There was a tool released by rayman84, which I have updated it to work with the transformer prime's blob. Though, you still will not be able to decrypt the encrypted images (which is what contains the meat of the system).

I have attached the update for prime executables and the source here

Nothing yet (UK / WW prime)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
OK, I followed the instructions to a T, after renaming original file and replacing with the one in your link it didn't change anything in terms of how it connected, still didn't work. So I turned wifi off, deleted the new file, removed .bak from original and rebooted. Now it won't connect to my work wifi which worked perfect before doing the replacement file.

I tried deleting the network and re adding and still no go, just sits there obtaining IP address, disconnected, obtaining IP address.

Help please.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Um, just sounds to me like you need a static address, but I know not...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SalsaForte:
Not yet available for WW version. :(

I'm a poor Canadian, the WW version of the patch is not yet available. No OTA or no D/L from support website.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
As others might have mentioned, battery life can be worse in the first few days following an update, while the system rebuilds caches and such. I usually wait at least a day before concluding that an update has negatively impacted battery life.

Not saying it's not happening, just saying that it might be too soon to tell. That said, the whole processor stepping change thing is of interest and worth keeping an eye on...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vakbrain:
As other people already mention in this thread, Let the US users do the beta testing for us ! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
To be honest I am torn. On one side I'm eagerly awaiting the update to see if it will improve my wifi & gps and on the the other after reading all mixed reviews I'm not so sure I want to mess something else up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flak0:
This was present on: . 11 and.11.1, nothing new. All four cores are constantly on.

Governors do not seem to change anything and setting cpu speed with system tuner below 475 mhz.

For those with battery drain issues, install better battery stats (free on xda) and once u upgrade let device alone for 10 min.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HOFFERN342:
There is a whole world waiting for the update.. all we can do is sit and study how the people with US-devices run around while crying out loud how happy they are to not have any stupid random reboots anymore, while I am sitting here in the dark corner constantly hitting the "check for update" button on my WW-device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
Mine is on .11 and doesn't behave like that at all. Mines works exactly like you expect, moves between 1-4 cores fine and uses all frequencies available (minus the 1500 and 1600 of course).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Linde:
You are not alone... hammering that button :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] killermojo:
I'm definitely not touching this update with all the battery concerns. Extremely frustrating. Come on, Asus.

Edit: Well after reading this I'm much more inclined to update. Good to hear official word from Asus
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] parker7:

Just got the update in Tampa, FL.

Wavy diagonal lines in sketching apps still persist. That's really the only issue I'm having anymore as I don't have any BT devices.

Must just be you... Mine seem fine...

I'm ignoring this update, I really believe on the moto, why fix what isn't broken? I have a Prime in perfect working order and want to continue having one. :D

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cadillac Johnson:
Same here, everything works, minus GPS, which I don't care about, so I'm happy it won't let me 'update'

Ill stay on 11.1 until the bootloader unlock is available and I won't have to worry about this BS anymore.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SalsaForte:
I understand your point, but I have a couple of bugs that annoys me a bit: random gmail crash, desktop becoming "invisible"... Had to reinstall a couple of apps for no apparrent reason, they started to crash or force close. Uninstall/reinstall and they bugs are gone!?!?!?!

And I'm an early adopter, so I'm reayd to give .13 a try... 13 = superstition! ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dcowens:
.13 up on Asus support site for those of us who where on .11.1, just updated with no issues manually myself
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:
Mine was not working last night or this morning but suddenly this afternoon it just started playing video's. I don't think your factory reset did it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
The Youtube problem was a Google server-side thing that impacted everyone (not just Prime owners). A classic example of how things aren't always what they seem--the coincidence of Youtube having a server problem right around the time the .13 update came out became for some folks prima facie evidence of the update screwing something up. When, of course, it was evidence of nothing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effingpace:
well i did a factory reset for other reasons but im glad its working for everyone now

That was buxtahuda's SSID. chamberc just quoted his screencap of wifi analyzer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
You're referring to a screenshot someone else posted, not me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Ok.

Here's the strength of the signal I'm actually connected to. But look at my WiFi icon in the status area.

Here is the main router, in the living room. Now, this picture makes sense.

So, can you tell now? I connect intermittently to whichever access point is putting out the best signal, and doing my network this way is making the Prime's WiFi look as though it's registering low, when it's got a full connection... Would making my second router mirror the MAC address of the first help alleviate this strange occurrence?

BTW thanks for the compliments on the SSID! Lol, we wanted something dirty and with alliteration to interest or offend the neighbors

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

I think today's earlier tweet from Asus UK was pretty much bull**** tbh. I'm starting to suspect they might have been rather pointlessly referring to the US/TW update.

no issues, i have run the pad and keyboard all day, none stop, email, web, fb and angry birds, open and close sd cards and jump drives..there is absolutely no change in battery use, my wifi gets at least a full bar better reception. still havent used the BT but I definitely dont have any issues so far since update
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
I don't think the issue is really with the battery while the device is in use; it is more with the battery usage when the device is supposed to be sleeping.

I should have followed this moto!

Experienced my first reboot while trying to play a video. Post reboot watched movie for 2hrs and my battery got drained from 98% charge to 40%!!!

Thinking of factory reset but will it help?

certainly agreed :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jedi5diah:
i do notice a higher draining of batt, esp when deep sleep is not as effective as before...will need a few days of cycle for the kernel to stablise then we can better judge.

sadly brightness flickering and diagonal flashes still persists...no obvious improvements...:mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quartercirclebak:
Just to maybe give folks some hope, I noticed worse battery drain than usual right after updating, but now I'm having no issues in terms of battery life and it may actually be better than before.

Now if they could fix that screen flicker I'd be (almost) all set...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] avlon:
I'm still getting screen tearing with both the recent apps button and live wallpapers on as well. Other than that, my Prime works well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
No change on Wifi at work.

I can not stay connected to any wifi network inside my building on my Transformer Prime, even my own personal hotspot.

This is not an issue with any other device, including my original Transformer.

As soon as I leave the building it works O.K. (It still has some dropout issues occasionally, but far less frequently than at work where it is pretty much unusable).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Anand experienced something similar during his review. He couldn't break 16MB until he turned off other routers in the vicinty. Performance more than doubled when only the router the Prime was connected to was transmitting. Why? I have no clue.

At the same time, I had test data from both ASUS and NVIDIA that show the Prime is capable of reasonable WiFi speeds. Yesterday morning I received a replacement Prime which was tested prior to being sent my way. The good news is the 2Mbps cap and poor range are both gone, the new sample is much faster on WiFi. Clearly there was something wrong with my original unit and it's being sent back to ASUS today for an autopsy. The bad news is I was still getting numbers around half of the original Transformer.

Using Ookla's Speedtest.net web app I get a consistent 34 - 37Mbps on the original Eee Pad Transformer (our actual WiFi performance tests involve downloading a file from a local server, but Speedtest was a quick and easy way to verify the problem). My original Prime review sample averaged around 0.5Mbps, while the replacement Prime got around 10Mbps - all in the same test location. Fiddling around with location I could get the replacement Prime up to 16Mbps. My test area is riddled with challenging interference so I setup a separate test area in another room. Even after buying the same Netgear WNDR4500 wireless AP that ASUS verified 31Mbps+ operation on, I wasn't able to break 16Mbps.

I have four other APs covering my house, I turned all of the radios off as a last ditch effort. Boom - 36Mbps on the Prime.

The culprit appeared to be either my 3rd gen Time Capsule or 5th gen Airport Extreme, with those radios off and using the WNDR4500 I was able to get performance competitive to the original Transformer. Here's where things get interesting. The original Transformer was made out of plastic, through which RF travels quite nicely. The Prime's metal construction makes things a bit more finicky. Indeed this is exactly what I saw, where depending on tablet and AP orientation I'd see anywhere between 10Mbps and 36Mbps downstream (average speed tended to be in the 15 - 20Mbps range). Apple gets around this issue in the iPad by putting the WiFi antenna behind the plastic Apple logo, however it's not entirely clear to me where the WiFi antenna is on the Prime (I have this policy about not taking things apart until I'm done testing them).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scooper:
I think the people that claim to have no noticeable throughput dropoff should test with some other routers, to see if the router makes any difference. That would give us better idea.

With the Linksys router I have running in G mode only at home, I got 6Mbps in the same room. Just went over to my brother's place with D-link router running in N mode only, I got like 20Mbps in the same room.

Now, there was still dropoffs as it got a little further away from the router. And just like my situation with the router at home, if I aimed the backplate at the router, I got better speeds. Different rooms or downstairs, whatever.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I can certainly attest to worse battery life. Was getting like 4 days battery, now I'm at 45% and 10 hours... I'm going to apply for return tonight, see if I can't get a C2 or something, with the supposedly new mobo, just for the heck of it.

Maybe they'll get back to where they were and just add stability/recall all older units and attempt some quality control and proper testing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hashish16:
After the update my tablet is much smoother and snappier, wifi is 'faster', but no more GPS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ohwell:
My gps is dead again to, didnt work in 11 worked in 11.1 quit again in 13
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajithjagadish:
Thanks! Hoping to see my Prime with healthy battery backup.

BTW is there any app to keep a count on number of reboots?

My Prime was on power saving mode and connected to charger. I walkout of my office and come back to see it rebooting.

This is the second time I have witnessed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jeff1192:
Anyone getting the OTA in Canada? Usually we get it in a day or so after the US release and I`m still not showing an update available. Have they decided to do more work on it based on the problems some people seem to be having?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Nothing in Ottawa yet, I'm in no rush as I'm a lucky one with no problems except the GPS. I'm not even sure I want to update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sillk39:
After update my tablet started to reboot randomly which never happened before and GPS has never worked...So i called Asus last night and the person that i spoke with said that they are aware of a hardware problem and that they have resolved it with the new serial numbers being shipped out. So RMA it is...I tried to get info from them on what the hardware issue was but all he said was that it was an major oversite on their part.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Beards:
I can't see this being true as it would mean recalling all those that have been sold.

It would make massive news with blog sites and news feeds.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] epology:
Can anybody verify this or get another statement?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gbh62:
After update, the BT/Wifi streaming issue is resolved for me. Previously BT streaming music to a headset almost immediately resulted in a lost wifi connection. Now, I can stream music, and the wifi connection is stable and virtually full speed.

Also, no reboots in two days since the update, but I was only getting these very infrequently anyway.

Also, after the update, ICS browser is noticeably quicker/smoother and I have started using it again. I had switched to Skyfire from it mainly because those infrequent reboots (2-3 per day) only seemed to occur in ICS browser. I had never had a re-boot with Skyfire.

Finally, GPS, which got around 6-7 fixed sats previously while I was stationary and outside with wifi off, is still working the same. These "fixes", previously, were quickly lost if I drove around. I have not yet tested driving around.

Anyway, so far so good. I am very please with the update.

Old serial number BC01... unit. Received from best buy in late December.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chucky7910:
I'm happy with the update as well. Although I never had any problems with my TFP at all (good wifi, GPS always connected, no reboots, nothing) I did notice my wifi was a bit better. I'm glad Asus is trying to make the TFP as best as it can be. I love it so far! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
How do their updates keep bouncing like this? It's like it helps 1/2 of us and throws the other half into the issues it fixed for the others...

After these files are done being moved, factory reset definitely will occur. Will get back after that, I can only hope it's going to un-jar some kind of bad code or something from the transition
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RipplingHurst:
I agree. For the update was only marginal, no wifi improvement, no GPS on the move still. After a fix even walking or rotating the tablet makes me lose fix momentarily. The UI seems faster, etc, but that's expected...it the first tablet with ics.

I'm this close to sell it now. Waiting for a killer mod on the opened prime thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whalemonster:
Still nothing here in the UK, despite Asus tweeting yesterday about an OTA update. They also seem to be ignoring my enquiries on Twitter despite being very vocal yesterday on other issues.

Think this might be a case of somebody tweeting too soon and now burying their head in the sand.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
My guess is that they have delayed it after seeing the battery issues that people are having. I reckon they're probably fairly pissed at nvidia right now about the CPU "update".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] avinash60:
I am having similar issues with the battery drain problem, 40% drain in about 10 hrs after the update while it is in deep sleep.

The device also feels less snappy after the update, and I have had gmail app crash a few times which never happened before.

Wi-Fi was never a problem with my device, GPS is slightly better now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bnl552:
Tablet Resetting Constantly

I never had issues with my device resetting until this new update. Now, since updating my device last night it has rebooted itself at least 10 times. Any suggestions? Do you think a factory reset will help, and if so can I still backup the root using Voodoo?

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Well, Asus should have tested it better before releasing it, but that seams to be way too much to ask from them. I still like my device, but I'm getting sick of Asus botching everything up. Hopefully this will all be resolved once they release the unlock tool and some of the great devs in the XDA community can start working on some of these issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Factory reset should not touch root. Back up your apps and data first.

And that's my thought. This is all just a terribly-played PR game at this point, I don't trust ASUS/nVidia/whoever for anything more than the physical hardware at this juncture.

It will be our dev's and modders that truly save us unless ASUS recalls and tries again with the 300t/700t models, regardless it's well-known even by the general public now that this device is riddled with issues and I don't even see a good ASUS update fixing that image at this point.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
I also look forward to when the device is properly unleashed to the devs here, but I think that actually you will find that nvidia have to approve ASUS' code and not the other way round, so when they actually get new code from nvidia they take it with open arms.

This is my understanding from some of the posts that Gary Key has made previously.

I may well be wrong, and feel free to correct me if I am, but I think that this is the case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] piokon:
It would be nice if the op updated the first post with summary of what we know about the update.
