[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
I'm from East Toronto and got the update on day one.

Call Asus and have them give you a download link to the update file and do it manually. Or you can keep waiting.

Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
It's not based on area, at least, beyond the overall region. I'm guessing Canada falls under US or (less likely) WW (worldwide) firmware, but either way, they've been out for a while. For some reason your tablet isn't detecting the update that's available to it.

Presuming you're stock, your choices are either to wait for Asus to provide the downloadable version--at which point you can install that manually--or to try figuring out why the tablet won't detect the update, which will most likely involve backing everything up and wiping the tablet.

If I were you, I'd probably wait for the download, on the basis that a fix is supposed to be coming soon, and ICS has quite a few problems with random reboots, boot loops, etc. If you're desperate to upgrade, backup and wipe; it's probably worth doing anyway as part of the upgrade process.

Cannot update to ICS

Hi everyone. I cannot find update to ICS...

So i have downloaded update 8.6.5.21 (latest update on ASUS web) as well as 9.2.1.11 - ICS. All is extracted and put in both ASUS\Update and only \Update\ folders. I mean i have all ways - original ZIP, zip inside the first ZIP and even completely unpacked versions in BOTH locations and nothing... no update for my device found when i click the button....

Now i was rooted before with RazorClaw tool but after latest OTA i do not have root anymore.

What can i do?

I am currently trying to root it again using NachoRoot method via ADB to check if that will help in some regard. Maybe remove the Razor root somehow?

Current build is: 8.6.6.23
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gilliland:
I'm guessing that ASUS has pulled the OTA update because of all the problems. I've got the same situation. My unit is entirely stock, never rooted, never had an alternative firmware. But it's been unplugged for a couple of weeks, battery completely depleted. When I charged it up yesterday, I checked for a new update - none available. Checked again this morning, same story. I'm in Ohio.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] mubharad:
Tablet unusable after ICS

Hi,

I got OTA ICS about 7-10 days back, update went through fine however there seems to be some issue with charging it. I'm using a non ASUS power adapter that i got from ebay (as the original power adapter just stopped working few months back, though this behavior is unrelated to ICS update) and even if left overnight to charge, it just manages to go from 7% to about 20-30% and without using the device it just discharges on its own and just shuts down.

Since i got the update i was able to use the device for only about 10-15 mins, since then all i am able to do is just reboot the device, login, check the battery % and see the magic of battery dying down automatically and leaving the device useless.

Not sure if it's ICS issue or ASUS's.

If anyone can help in fixing this, i will be really grateful.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 090:
How about going to "Settings/ASUS customized setting" then check/uncheck the option named "MobileDock battery saving mode". Mine has this unchecked and it seems to help the "Sleep of death" issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mubharad:
Thanks for the reply. I don't have the dock and the setting that you mentioned is checked in my device, however that option itself is disabled, so i can't uncheck it.

Any other way to uncheck it, if that's what you recommend?

thanks,
[Eee Pad Transformer General] veebomb:
No rush really I just hate when I can't do things..... Anyway I will just download one of the custom OS's here on XDA, I just hate it when something should work but doesn't. In the meantime I downloaded Revolver and it's pretty bad ass so I'm happy. Out of curiosity would being rooted cause my tablet to not be able to see the OTA official update?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luna_c666:
You are not going to get an answer from us that will help you except to say we can't help you because:

We own Asus Transformers. Our ROMs will not work on your tablet.

Furthermore, we have no clue about your tablet, where to download the tools, or if they even exist (they don't that I am aware of)- unless someone here owns one (which I doubt). You basically wandered into a Cadillac dealer and began asking if anyone can help you find parts for your Ford. Sorry..I don't guess there is an Auraslate section..

EDIT: The device is brand new. No devs have done anything with it. Yet another reason we can't help you; my advice is learn to code, you may be able to port over one of our ROMs if the hardware is similar enough :confused:

first post

hi, this is my first post. I just upgraded to ICS yesterday, everything seems fine except I cannot play any rmvb file. I have mobo player, rocket player and some other players. I used to be able to play the rmvb file with mobo player or rocket player in honey comb. does anyone got the same problem??
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xZeDgEx:
This is happening to me daily. Factory reset did not fix.. Not too impressed right now. Among other issues ics has been awful, tablet is so unstable now.. Sigh.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 090:
Hi,

I did a quick test with my TF, without the dock that setting is disable. Plug the tab into a dock enable the setting and you can check/uncheck it.

May be trying to find a dock nearby to test this.

I'll test mine with the setting checked and tab is unplugged from the dock. Let's see whether the "Sleep of death" happens again.

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

Re-post from above as I may find a fix for this.

How about going to "Settings/ASUS customized setting" then check/uncheck the option named "MobileDock battery saving mode". Mine has this unchecked and it seems to help the "Sleep of death" issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xZeDgEx:
This is greyed out, I can't change it. Don't have a dock, maybe thats why.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mubharad:
Yes, same with me and i have been just charging the tablet ever since the upgrade more than 10 days back and never been able to use the tablet not even once.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mlbl:
for disappearing icons - its some widget on your homescreen. try to narrow it down - then uninstall it, then reinstall it (preferably with the latest update). I had a problem with beautiful widgets (surprise!) - after i uninstalled it and installed the latest version - I never had a single disappearing icon bug appearing again!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ishida:
After upgraded to ICS I got these problem

The speaker is not as loud as before

The tablet got frozen sometime cant even turn on from stand by mode

sometimes it restart itself and stuck in the middle of booting

it drain the battery as hell

should there be any patch soon?

I did factory reset already!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dany XP:
Yes, Asus will realese an u pgrade soon, but they didn't tell WHEN exactly...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] obsa:
hi all TRANSFORMER users & TF101G specially, is there is a chance to have ICS on our tablets?. coz I tried 5 diffirent builds on my tf101g & they are all baaaaaaaaaaaaad bad bad . no network, alot of craches and the biggest problem was the random reboot . So any one knows if we'll get the ICS or NOT.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DaveBG:
So what is going on is the OTA really stopped for now? Why so many people do not get the update (like me) ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] atamkaan:
No OTA update here in Tampa, FL. I just checked this morning. I read the thread a little bit and saw there are problems with the update. I am hoping ASUS recalled the OTA because of these problems.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xZeDgEx:
Pretty much all the same issues here... This thing is almost un usable right now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luca47:
there is a 1st march post on zdnet titled :"Asus denies claims of buggy Transformer ICS update" (can't post the link). hope they've changed idea since ...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/commun...ims-of-buggy-transformer-ics-update-10025528/

...likely in response to this:

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/burnette/asus-transformer-ics-update-leaves-tablets-unusable/2433

There is no more recent post on this topic from ZDNet, so as far as they and Asus UK are concerned, that's presumably the end of the story. We know from posts elsewhere that Asus has admitted there's a problem, we know that the problem occurs even on a completely stock, unrooted TF101 out of the box, so this is basically just PR spin. Deny that the problem exists, quietly fix it. Standard operating practice for a lot of companies, sadly.

Good News ! A friend of mine found this news saying the buggy ICS firmware is getting an update soon: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/03/asus-transformer-tf101-to-get-fix-for-ics-bugs/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bob Smith42:
Seems the ICS packages are available at ASUS support

Including TW, WW, DE, US

But, the release date is 2012.02.29 so contents likely same as OTA now pulled, and therefore you may have problems.

Good luck
[Eee Pad Transformer General] raid76:
whats new????
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DaWongOne:
Post All ICS related info.

I don't mean to be rude but this forum has nothing constructive, not even the links on page 1.

I guess that I was expecting to much for everything ICS.

You know something like a thread about: 1 ICS update and info, 2- ICS short comings and fixes, 3-Tips and tricks. 4-complaints!

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

My asus transformer ICS update has shortcomings like mentioned else where.

Just like mine :( Very disappointed with this update :banghead:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Motero73:
I was having the same feeling until Saturday, when my transformer rebooted itself and got bricked. The only solution I found was to wipe all data.

After wiping and configuring everything from zero, it works like a charm, all the bugs I was suffering have disapeared.

Hope it helps people in the same situation, because I think my problem was related to an upgrade from Honeycomb instead of a clean install for ICS.

Asus UK and Asus ITA a week ago said the 13 of March is the date of the update.

Check on Asus Facebook page.

---------- Post added at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------

Asus Italia has just released some news about the update.

It will be released within the end of this week.

Below the "changelog":

1) stability improvement with ICS

2) solved the problem with the audio

3) fixed the bug of MyLibrary

4) improved stability for the Camera application

5) Fixed some spelling errors on the location

Asus also says "The version for TF101G will arrive by the end of the month, because there is a problem to be solved at the driver level (for 3g) and we are working with NVIDIA to find a solution."
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pzboyz:
Nothing at 7AM this morning.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tnw513:
Bad news

Staff of Asus italia on Facebook says that update for tf101 will come on weekend, not today...

Update for tf101g at the end of the month

[Eee Pad Transformer General] seilorman:
Last night around midnight my Transformer started downloading "something", showing it at the task-bar. Turned out to be the ICS. I am running HC 3.2.1. and DO NOT WANT to update to ICS for the time being.

The problem is that the ICS stays at the bar and says that I have to press the notification so that it starts the update. I am afraid that I may press it by accident or that if I restart the tablet it may start upgrading the firmware without asking me.

Can someone tell me how to get rid of it!

I am from Bulgaria and my Asus is bought from the US, if it makes any difference.

thanks to all advices.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theabsurdman:
no ota update for me yet in the UK. have I missed it?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thiesen:
Äs it is now you're better off without ICS since it's ultra bugged beyond imagination.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] NinjaDeathMonk:
Mine did the OTA update on the morning of the13th. The tablet behaved well since, until last night (15th) when I found it dead. Only a hard reset would wake it, and when it did the battery had been halved.

Sounds familiar?

So, it's better but not over.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jpokorski:
Nothing new since the OTA. Still rebooting randomly, and still getting stuck in the boot loop. No acknowledgement from ASUS of the problems, either.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] killer8nl:
Still no OTA here in Holland.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
Have u tried the trick were you go into developer tools and check then uncheck the "always keep the screen on " setting dono if it requires a reboot. Disable quicksettings can also show results. Lastly disable mostcof the preinstalled apps. If your using gmail, then disable the other mail client
[Eee Pad Transformer General] oldcpu:
A suggestion

Its strange that some users have the problem, and some users do not have the problem.

IMHO it might help if all the folks who have a problem, provide more information, so we can figure out why some folk have a problem, and some do not.

It would be useful if all users with a problem, setup their transformer to provide the recorded information (that is automatically stored in a log file) when the problem occurs/repeats.

To do so, install a log program, such as CatLog. As long as it is installed, there is no need then to run CatLog, until immediately after the problem occurs.

Then if the problem repeats, if possible, figure out the time of occurrence, and also immediately (after occurrence) run CatLog to attempt to obtain log file documenting the problem occurrence (email to yourself the logfile, and unzip to obtain content). Typically CatLog will have the past few hours or more of activity logged. Then paste the content of file 'device_info.txt' (which is very small) in a post, and also copy part of the content of the file 'logcat.txt' to a pastebin site such as http://pastebin.com (only paste the messages/events/entries around the time associated iwth the anomalous shutdown) and post here the URL/web address given to them by the pastebin site, and included that URL in same past as 'device_info.txt' file (so they can be easily correlated).

If everyone with the problem would do that, we may have a better chance of tracking down technical details on the problem.

Now I don't have the reboot problem. But when I run CatLog on my transformer, and email the output to myself, I get one zip file with two text files inside. One called 'device_info.txt' has this with details on my transformer:

build.board: EeePad

and the other called 'logcat.txt' (which one needs to paste to http://pastebin.com ) has this: http://pastebin.com/usqj7syu

... thats just an example. I don't have the reboot problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tony10000:
Hi All:

I am new to this forum. I have a TF101 B70 series. Currently running build: IML74K.US_epad-9.2.1.17-20120312 and kernel 2.6.39.4 android@Mercury #1. I originally installed ICS without doing a factory wipe and had nothing but problems. A lot of FCs, system app FCs, reboots and at least one reboot and freeze. A system wipe, reinstallation of ICS and manual reinstall of apps seemed to fix most problems before the update. Problems returned after the update so I did another system wipe and restored apps from a backup. Problems pretty much disappeared for a few days until this weekend. I have had a return of the Gmail black screen bug, although it happens much less often. I also had one reboot freeze today. I noticed that reboot freezes only seem to occur if the TF is not charging and I leave wi-fi on. I went into advanced settings and changed the setting to only turn wi-fi on if it is charging during sleep. We'll see what happens. I suspect there are some kernel and system app issues that need to be sorted out.

--Tony
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kadin:
Hello all, new to this forum!

I just got home with a brand new TF that I got from Fry's for $349 (price match) and immediately got a firmware to update to ICS. Hopefully this update wasn't a bad decision but I'm considering (probably won't though) keeping it stock for now to see how I like it.

So far I'm damn impressed. Returned an Acer Iconia A200 for $329 to Staples and knew this was clearly the better buy for $20 more. Anyhow, glad to be here and hope to help in any way I can!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Most likely, many of the folks who believe they don't have the problem do have it, they just haven't noticed. (If it reboots and you're not paying attention to the recent apps list or tend to leave all your apps closed, you could easily have a bunch of reboots go by without even realizing. The reboots seem significantly more common than the boot lockups, boot loops, and spontaneous shutdowns in my experience.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] oldcpu:
Reboot is not easily reproduceable

I've had ICS installed for 5 days thus far. Only 1 reboot (where unfortunately I only had the log file AFTER the reboot and not before). I've tuned the app CatLog and hopefully I will catch (in a log file) the messages from the next reboot, if there is one.

After 5 days of operation, to have only one reboot, is not very reproducible and it is difficult to catch. I confess reading this thread I had the impression from some users that it was rebooting every other hour. Thus far, that is not the case (for me). If there are users experiencing many reboots, it would be useful for them to paste the log files to a pastebin site, and post the URL, so the logs can be examined to see what caused the reboot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Unfortunately, not all of us are (or want to be) rooted, and my understanding is that you can't get at the logs unless you are.

The frequency seems highly variable. Within the first day or two after applying the update, I saw reboots every few hours. Within the last couple of days, I haven't seen a reboot (but I'm also not checking to be sure I didn't miss one, as frankly there's nothing I can do to prevent it if even it is rebooting; until Asus pull their fingers out and release a stable firmware, I'm stuck.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] oldcpu:
Please post your log files !!

My TF101 is not rooted.

I am getting at some logs using various applications. One is CatLog.

So I have to say what you note is not 100% the case.

I am trying to tune CatLog to give better output. I've put record ON, I have changed its setting from 1 out of every 200 event line, to EVERY event line, and NOW I have filtered the event line so that only the most serious show up. But it has not rebooted since. How long do I have to wait ? I don't know. I get NOWHERE near the frequency you get of reboots.

I come from a GNU/Linux user background where if a GNU/Linux user wants something fixed, they contribute. The alternative to not contribute (but just ... how to I say it tactfully ? ... just comment generally on a problem ...) yields nothing. Fixes don't happen in GNU/Linux by general comments on a problem. Apologies, ... i don't know a better way to say that without appearing a bit rough ....

If the frequency of an anomaly is high (and mine is NOT yet high) then those with High Frequencies are the best ones to contribute. Unfortunately, especially given this is a 'developers' forum by name, we are seeing what I view as "not the best response" to track down this problem, by those experiencing the problem. And thats unfortunate. How many reboots have users experienced ?

How many log files posted? Few. Very very few.

IMHO this forum needs the log files. The log apps are there. Simply look in the APP store and there are many log apps that do not require one to be rooted in order to collect some log information.

Hence it would help those who have this problem, to contribute by installing a log app (I'm currently trying CatLog) and post the log outputs associated with a reboot. Again, my transformer is NOT rooted and I am getting some log information ... and getting more / better information the more I tune the app.
