[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bopfan:
earlier in the day I did the update here in Ohio. Finally got around to doing some preliminary testing on the wifi/gps. Some joy here. wifi has improved. had run some tests earlier in the week. compared to those results I am seeing some very nice improvements. ditto for the gps

For example my pre-update download speed in my office (one floor below my wife's office - which is where the router is located) went from a high of 10.68 Mbps (with averages around 8 or 9) up to 15.13 Mbps, 15.91, 17.84 (ran 3 back-to-back tests). Pretty good! No holes drilled. No dangling antenna wires. GPS is better too. Outdoors I get a lock on 7 out of 11 sats. Indoors it hints at a bird but no connection.

Haven't had an opportunity yet to see if there are any other changes.....ie smoothness in transitions from screen to screen, or with my browsers.

But I am feeling pretty good about this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Reloaded83:
Well, I rebooted, and right after the reboot, the first few times the screen came back on almost instantly when I press the power button. Now, after a few minutes, it seems to be slow again, but maybe not quite as slow as before. Probably should have tried to time it to test it...

Updated in Pa

Im in Pa and got the update... checking it now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Ok, editing build.prop let us 11.1 users at least see the update, but installing's a no-go because OTA isn't a complete update.

Could we trick our Prime into thinking it's 9.4.2.7 so that we can reapply the 9.4.2.11 full update then OTA from there?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cmotion:
Anybody else having issues with the keyboard dock? It's been working on and off since updating, didn't have any problems pre-update. Seems to be working OK at the moment... At first the Caps Lock seemed to be stuck on (light wasn't on, just couldn't seem to turn it off), and the Backspace and Spacebar weren't working. Gave it some time to settle and it's functioning correctly as of right now. Anybody else?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
I can't reproduce this. My keyboard dock is working just like always post update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LupusHD2:
Have you restarted at all after the 1st boot up since the update finished installing ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] David522d:
Can someone tell me how to use voodoo root keeper? I think i set it up when I first installed it but not sure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Super simple. After rooting your device, you just open it up and tell it to backup su. Now after OTA's, just open Voodoo, restore su; done!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ruddogg:
yup! super easy just as buxtahuda said, just make sure you're rooted & ran Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and have all the boxes checked before you update to .13. After the update, just click "root" in Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, and you have root again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] David522d:
Thanks guys!

Appreciate it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EasyEEE:
Awesome solution - if you read the XDA boards... Ugh.

Thanks for the tip.. Mine had same issue. Did what you said, now rebooting.

ZERO issues since DEC 22 - until that lil hicup. Heh.

EDIT: Well, that didn't help. CHECK UPDATE still greyed out. Reading more posts. Not rooted. Hrmmm..

EDIT 2: Well, I think I hit CANCEL vice OK when clearing either data or cache the first time. I remembered the 40kb not going away, even though I did it twice (I thought). ANYWAY, cleared it this time, rebooted, and SUCCESS, was able to check update. Installing now.

STILL a damn shame that has to be done. Wonder if it happens to a non-nerd, if theirs will ever get updated.

Again, thanks.

Thanks again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vels13:
This has been happening to me since before the update. I was able to *mostly* keep this from happening by using Wifi Keep Alive with workarounds 1, 3, and 4 selected. It does use up a little more battery though, but totally worth it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sgroel:
Still no luck updating my prime. Never rooted, and running current software. This is really bugging me. Will get about 1/3 the way done and fail. Oh and Yes, I did try the cold boot =/

heres my info directly from the tab:

Android: 4.03

GPS 6.9.13

WIFI 6.1.1.17

BT 9.23

Camera TF201-0x9900

Touch Panel MXT-2.0 Build-170

Kernel 2.6.39.4

Build

IML74K.US_epad-9.4.2.11-20120117

Pad EC TF201-PAD-0214

No dock. Could an App be causing it to fail? I really dont have much installed at the moment...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] some_developer:
Updated when I got home from work. Noticed four things:

1. Opening app drawer is smooth. Before the updated, opening the app drawer initially would have lag but if if I opened it and closed it, it would be smooth from then on, until I waited awhile before opening it again. It is now always smooth.

2. Closing the app drawer has a smoother animation. It almost looks new, anyone notice this?

3. Like most, I've noticed my wifi bars are full or higher now.

4. Here's the best one...I can play streaming HD YouTube videos without any buffering!!!! Before the update I couldn't use HD mode because it could never buffer fast enough.

Thanks Asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Undead46:
Got the OTA push in Texas a few hours ago.

Updated and OTA RootKeeper worked like a charm. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] droid358:
My TFP is FIXED!

Downloaded and ran the OTA 9.4.2.13 update earlier today and have been testing to see if the reboots have been fixed... I think that they HAVE! (for my Prime anyhow)

I've tried just about everything I can think of now to trigger the reboots, (streaming Netflix, Web Browsing, Gaming, Splashtop, etc.) I even turned up all of the performance settings such as the full screen brightness, IPS+ and Performance Mode and still no reboots.

$me == '1 happy Prime Owner';
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bpt888:
Anyone in Canada getting the update yet? I'm in Vancouver BC and still nothing. I'm currently on IML74K.WW_epad-9.4.2.11-20120117 build (not the beta).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I have not gotten my OTA notice here in SoCal... and frankly, I do not care. There seems nothing of any real value in this update. I am going to let it ride until it forces me to update. Bahhh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
Updated. Everything seems much faster. 3 bars on WiFi now, previously had 2. -55db now, previously -65. So far loving it. Will test BT later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EasyEEE:
What point is it failing?

Does it get to "Optimizing application 1 of ###"?

Try cold start as mentioned (I have ZERO clue what that does).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sgroel:
it doesnt get to optimizing applications at all... I'm not really sure whats going on with it at this point.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Update installing now...

Just FYI, if you made any build.prop edits you need to revert to original to be able to update. I had the V6 Supercharger script installed, and had to uninstall it, or the update crashed every time.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

The "optimizing applications" happens b/c the dalvik cache is wiped on OTA update install... probably b/c a new kernel was installed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
Still no update for me here, just outside of Detroit. I'm really anxious to get it, hoping that it fixes the spontaneous reboot I get a couple of times a day.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
If you want it that bad, you can force it

settings/about/system firmware update and see if you can pull it manually
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] louvass:
Wifi/bt

WiFi and BT still bad for me. Getting 20 m down without bt on. After connecting my jaybird BT headphones my dl speed dropped to 4m . So no improvement.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
don't seem like there is anything for EU yet. Shame

Is voodoo saving root?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oakvnl:
Darn it, why did I upload the beta .11.1 last night? If only I could wait one more day, I would of gotten the OTA .13 today :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
Thank you for the help, but I'm well aware of that. Been trying it all day. I wonder does it matter that I'm using IML74K.US_epad9.4.2.11.1-20120118. I manually installed this update some time ago thinking it was different than the ota 20120118. To my knowledge the only difference is that it was available for d/l from the asus website. Anyways, still hoping something comes thru soon. I'm open to any other suggestions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blinky44:
We are all in the same boat with 11.1 so you just need to wait until either they change the push process to include 11.1 or they post the files next week. My plan if they don't bundle them into one patch is to try 12 first and see if 13 comes on it's own. We also have questions out to Gary. People have been trying all kinds of things today without success.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
I pulled the dlpkgfile from the cache folder for the new update. Would it work to manually place that in your own cache folder to update its only about 10mb.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blinky44:
So far no luck with that, it seems it should be two files for .12 and .13 right, I am not sure what triggers the upgrade to fire. Normally with a download it's a zip file and you move it over to the sdcard folder and reboot and it picks it up. Renaming the file to xxxx.zip with the xxxx being the right file name does not work either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
WiFi seems faster to me after the update.

"Downgraded" my router channel number and location to where I was having problems previously. WiFi looks much better.

And after moving router back and changing channels, Prime now seems to get about same speeds at HTC Flyer and HTC EVO phone, even at distances. (Don't have son's Galaxy Tab 10.1 here to test, but Prime does not quite get the distance the Galaxy 10.1 got on Sunday.

Good job Asus!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rxbytran:
Did the update fix the bands/checkerboard pattern when waking the prime up?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Never had wifi problems with mine only the first day but got better after that
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattykinsx:
So anyone else having issues where the wifi says its connected but there's no internet connection?

Because I am with the newest update

No WAN no LAN.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
can anyone tell if youtube playback is working i cannot get youtube to play any video. it force close after this update
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blinky44:
Thanks I needed that positive note even though I am still waiting due to the 11.1 issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sgroel:
No luck updating, the cold boot didnt work, and I dont even get to the optimizing applications page. I dont believe Im on 11.1 which people seem to have issues with, Ive only installed what the tablet alerted me to in terms of firmware and never rooted. Any recommendations welcome! Where is the log file for the installation? I cant seem to find the cache folder... This is my first android device myself... but Ive been coding and working on computer for a loong time... mostly in windows unfortunately.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blinky44:
No you are not on 11.1 so don't worry about that, something else is going on with the process. You could try calling ASUS and see if they have a solution. Otherwise next week the files will be posted sometime. Did you try clearing your dmclient cache to see if it will pull the update again?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djmdubb:
Update broke you tube for me
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hakarune:
Confirmed, YouTube no longer works and after update YouTube isn't listed in the Market either.... WE need them to fix this ASAP!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Chemas:
uninstall/(re)install?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
glad it was not me i almost did a system reset. give me back youtube
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
it doesn't show up in the market at all
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Lol, 11.1 isn't seeming so terrible now!

Haha, dear lord, just give us an unlocked bootloader so our wonderful dev's of lore might give us our wants |(-\)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] otgwindow:
Mine got worse now i get random reboot even when i turn it off (not when i power off) and more often.Hopefully when the next update comes out nxt week it will take care of it.I do notice that it is snappier than before thou.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rootusr:
Confirmed! Youtube is no longer working! Prime never rooted, come on ASUS; I can't really imagine the QA team in the Asus development team, there is something called regression testing, ASUS you have to test EVERYTHING again after an update!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effingpace:
thanks i will check that out
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrboss23:
Wifi is definitely better
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rootusr:
I tried clearing app data, same result, app crashes when playing a video.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UDRandman:
has anyone tried using Tubemate, or another third party youtube app?

I haven't done the update yet, but am about to.

EDIT: Tubemate works, YouTube crashes for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattykinsx:
Zomg not the YouTube app. :rolleyes:

Is anyone having real issues, like with wifi connectivity?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PapaSmurf6768:
My YouTube works fine. Try clearing data for the app and reboot

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
My Youtube stopped working properly also after the update and I use it all the time. It will load fine but soon as I click on any video it crashes and then says "Youtube has stopped working". I've cleared cache, rebooted, just about everything. Apparently Asus will need to provide ANOTHER update to fix what they broke on whatever fix they tried to fix this time around. Sounds crazy but this is like a circus. Now I'm afraid to update my tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] louvass:
Yep did the clear data and Youtube is dead.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] manso1102:
Same thing for me...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xXxDieselxXx:
Same here. Now I'm getting reboots. I had none before the update. :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mbo1951:
Unfortunately, the YouTube app is broken here as well. Nuts.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paulnelson88:
Wifi is much better but Youtube is broken :eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
I have not updated and youtube is not working for me now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
F'n A! Lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rootusr:
Wait, wait, it may actually have sense, look a the logs when youtube crashes, something may be wrong "at server side", I trying to find out more
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
Thanks for the info!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] caanda45:
Nothing in Canada yet, seems to be USA only at this time, bummer.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Would you rather have you tube or better wifi? Lol

Has anyone tried to use the stock or Boat or ICS+ browser to see if YouTube works through the browser? Could be a workaround until they fix the native you tube app.

Let me check mines n see if its working.

Update: Nooooiooooooooooo! Lmfao its crashing...but unheard someone say they llooked at the crash log so it may be something on the YouTube server side. Not the update causing it. Lets hope it is on the YouTube side and will come back online shortly.

My wifi seems alot stronger now. Confirmed with wifi analyzer. Stronger signals in places where they were usually lower.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scuddster:
I'm on 11.1 and got no update. Of course, I'm so pleased that 11.1 fixed my issues, I'm nervous about going further. LOL
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phylax1:
i didnt update and also have some problems with youtube
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sgtcody:
Weird, must be an ICS issue. It's working on GB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Pimpin:
I have update and youtube doesn’t work. I tried the youtube app on my HTC Sensation with ICS and it is working fine. If it was server side, wouldn’t it have crashed also?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] z33tec:
My Wifi performance has increased and my Youtube app is also broken. Luckily, I don't use the Youtube app and am pretty happy that the Wifi signal is stronger. I'm sure the Youtube app will be fixed shortly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scuddster:
I crash on youtube app and stock browser - but chrome beta browser keeps playing youtube without a glitch.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PapaSmurf6768:
Well they didn't change the app itself; it was v3.3.0 before and it's the same now. Something else must be affecting you guys.

EDIT: Sorry everyone. Just checked again and you're right, it's crashing. It was working fine earlier in the day so I just assumed it was working now. I'd have to say this is a youtube-side problem, not with the app. Sorry for the confusion.

Not many Aussies in this thread...Just read 30 pages :/

Well i have nothing update wise here.

Running stock, unrooted.

Hoping it hits here very soon
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Thank you HTML5 ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quartercirclebak:
Yep...WiFi and GPS are still ass. Still having the diagonal screen flickering issue. All this update did for me was break YouTube.

Factory reset? y/n...?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
I have had a hang every once in a while before the update and I now have the issue where the device won’t even turn on until you hold the power button down a few times (freeze while sleeping issue); this is less than an hour after I updated.

Along with this, when I finally did get it to reboot, after this new issue, the battery had dropped from 80% to 40% (less than an hour with it just on the desk sleeping). When looking at the battery graph, I can see a sharp drop-off and the main user of battery is the Wi-Fi (as far as the battery screen is concerned).

As a side note, I did install the new chrome beta yesterday, which could be the cause, but I don’t see that as being likely since I used it all last night and today with no issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aly19:
I have not even updated yet (I am still on .11) and my YouTube app is crashing as well whenever I try to load a video. Maybe this issue is not only related to the newest update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Doubt it will do anything, but never hurts if you're backed up...

Sucks, lol, every update helps some and screws some more
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1lazysheep:
no change in wifi (it was good before update) and i still can't get 1 satellite lock to save my life. and like everyone else is reporting, the youtube app is now useless. persistent failure
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Skullmonkey:
As far as the screen wake: I am still getting it after a reboot. Now its about 2 secs for a delay.

YouTube is not working for me either. I don't think it would be server sided since it is force closing. If it was server sided, wouldn't it just give an error?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zoemanstan:
update

i have updated and everything is good except for youtube...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] odroido:
My YouTube doesn't work either after the update. I'm pissed because overall my prime was working well. Decent wifi and gps.

So is anyone's YouTube app working after update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bjhotch:
Has anyone else lost the ability to rotate their screen? Since the update, my screen won't rotate.

Brian
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
No one's YouTube app is working without the update lol

Something server-side with YouTube and Google I'd imagine
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I think it is. We have people posting who didn't even update n still on older firmware confirming you tube crashing for them also. Server issue.

I can also confirm you tube works great on Chrome beta browser ;) at least it'll work there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
youtube works in dolphin hd but we still want youtube app working
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Its just you ;) mine rotates just fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redandblack1287:
I'm still running 11.1 and I can't get youtube to work either--I wouldn't even think twice about waiting to update because of this, I would be shocked if it had anything to do with the update.

On a side note, I'm running ICS 4.0.4 on my NS4G and youtube works fine
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Its happening to other tablet owners besides us also...issue is being addressed
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
Gary Just posted

Gary just posted a summary of the update:

2/8/12 Update - We pushed 9.4.2.13 early to address the random lock and reboot issues plus you might see general improvements in performance including WiFi and maybe even aGPS. For users still experiencing the drop out problem with WiFi/BT enabled, we expect to release instructions shortly to correct this problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ventzi:
Do you know how to remove this update and get back to my previous version 11? After the update I start having more problems than fixes. I never had flickering issue when press resent apps. Now is very bad is going almost of the half of the screen. Also Wifi is weak and is the same (they just put more bars to foul us that signal is better). My GPS is worse now. Another bad update at least for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EasyEEE:
Release instructions? Not an OTA?

Wonder if it involves a sledge hammer...

Either way, I still love my Prime. No real deal breakers for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
So the update is causing screens not to rotate huh...maybe the auto rotate is turned off

:rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I was just going to try and wait it out lol I was hoping no one would say it for like ever -.-

That would definitely be the thing to check...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bjhotch:
For whatever reason, I had to power cycle the tablet to get it to rotate it again. Strange.

Brian
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Aye. A power cycle is definitely warranted after an update or before a forum post usually
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mmoran27:
how come i got the update but am still on build 11?

I have have updated bt and wifi but old build?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Lmao!!! I don't mean harm but some people are quick to post without thinking first! I'm sure if there was a rotate issue, we would of noticed that right after updating...I was waiting for three more people to follow suit an claim that they now have the same rotate issue also

:p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattykinsx:
My wifi is completely dead now.

Won't even turn on.

Before buying this tablet all I ever heard about Asus is their great support for their devices...

Yeah...

Growing a bit tired of this
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaypm:
graphics rendering is definitely smoother on this update, not just games, but also general use of the launcher/drawer.

... and as gary key has posted, the primary purpose of this update was to address the random reboots/lockups. we knew that a new graphics driver was coming with this update and it was already rumored to be the source of the freezes. looks like all that hate directed at asus over freezes should have been aimed at nvidia...

that said, kudos to both companies for getting this fixed quickly, and giving the rest of us a good gfx boost at the same time
