You just upgraded? OK, come back and talk to us again in a week, once you've gotten used to the random reboots, shutdowns, lockups, and boot loops, and once you've gotten used to the fact that you can no longer leave your tablet in sleep mode unless it's on the charger, even if it's only overnight on a fully-charged battery, because otherwise the battery will be dead or near-dead when you actually need to use it.

ICS's been a disaster for TF101. I rooted my phones (Nexus One, GSII) but never bothered with TF101. I should have just to stop the OTA from working ... what a disaster ... from a perfect tablet with HC, I am now down to a darn cripple ... as if the random reboots are not bad enough, it also lost most of its sound volume !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
ICS has been great for me. No reboot, no issues with leaving the unit docked and off the charger for days. I did clear all caches before I installed and did install a rooted upgrade, but ICS has been pretty good.

The only issue I have is with videos using flash.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tpjets62:
I am happy with ICS. I did have a few problems with reboots but after I installed Wake Lock, I have had no issues. I know OS upgrades usualy have a few glitches, so I can deal with a work around for now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
No I upgraded when it was avalible in march. I wrote just update to people trying to avoid the ota. I have the same problems as you but it dosent change the fact that ics is still awesome. Those reboots are a real ***** tou....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Gloss is pretty pointless when you either can't rely on your tablet to be usable because it's drained the battery boot-looping, or you have to shut down your tablet every time you put it down, and then wait a full minute or so for a device that's supposed to be instant-on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
Can't argue with that one. Whats worse is that my router is broken and everytime you reboot a portible device (iphone tf101 etc) it gives you a bad ip (local ip) with no connection to the internet. Only fix is rebooting router manually. My laziness level is tooo daaaamn higgh for this
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rashid11:
Seems that 4.0.4 is coming soon ? Some1 else posted a link to Xoom forums. They're are getting it now and it fixes the reboots
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jab0321:
That would be awesome. I just updated the Asus cloud storage app and my TF started going bananas. The screen started shutting off right in the middle of using it and then I couldn't even unlock it to turn it back on. Had to cold boot and it seems to be better now, but this is getting to be ridiculous.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] adotomov:
Hey guys. I was wondering if somebody knows when the 4.0.4 will be coming out. I am generally pleased with the ICS but I am not very fond of the inability to wake up on an occasional basis which puts me in awkward situations at work.

Anyway, I am considering downgrading to HC and I was wondering whether I should do it, because it seems a lot of effort or just wait for the new update which (hopefully) fixes the issues.

Cannot Access Photos and Music on SD Card

The disappearing music and photos bug reared its ugly head on my TF101. Tried deleting data in Media Storage but that didn't help. Finally had to wipe the tablet to get it working right.

I found this article about similar problems under CM9:

access sd card from browser

I have a Tranformer 300T running ICS and use either Dolphin Tab or Maxthon browser.

I want to open a website saved to the SD card.

Too bad ctrl + O doesn't work but I can see why.

I've tried file:///sdcard, sd/ etc.

Is there a way to pull up html files in a browser (not the html viewer) that are stored on the SD card?

What is the protocol/path directory?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
The Prime folks finally got a positive update this morning (.14) solving the battery issues and some are reporting better WiFi speeds. One less headache for Asus. Maybe our TF101 ICS update is coming soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Novarider:
As you can read I don't have a computer capable of compiling from source or I would be doing it myself. What does me asking for someone to make a build for another device have anything to do with asus releasing source code? Just because I have a difference of opinion then a dev doesn't mean I don't respect what they do.

sounds a little more positive and maybe a step in the right direction.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
I'm not waiting to find out. I'm loading ICS onto my touchpad tomorrow and Asus can take their sweet time handing out more dates.

I would rather use a buggy version of ICS today, than a semi-buggy one in one month, two months, three months, etc. At least I won't have to listen to more BS.

Old Post from Jostinek

Asus has some coherence problems with information management. XDA has coherent whine.

From twitter this time: https://twitter.com/#!/ASUS/status/164522714994974721

Hopefully they have made up their mind this time. Someone start the two-week countdown

Asus seems to have a problem deciding on when to release the real release-date and for how long it should continue to release prank-dates. The real release of the real release-date for the real release of ICS may or may not be right around the courner.

In the meantime, we could replace most of the world's nuclear powerstations with the whine contained in this very XDA thread. The power of both should more or less even out.

Good times.

beta program

Perhaps Asus should consider a beta program for adventurous people.

They obviously have an ICS build for TF101 that's close to being ready but for whatever reason they are keeping it back.

If there was a beta program with manual install instructions (as opposed to an OTA release) a lot of the people that complain about slipping release dates would have something to play with.

Asus could even benefit from feedback.

F#$%& ICS, im rooting my transformer right now im tired of waiting
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xbs:
Leak it! Only those who want will install...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadymouse:
Seriously!!! I already rooted and even when it releases I'll still be waiting for a custom Rom. If you're registered to this site, it's a high probability that you're using a custom Rom anyway... so I don't know why people are being so impatient. Stock Roms are no where near better than our Dev Roms.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Brand New:
Now this good people is an idea.

I have a Nook Color running a dev version of ICS: that device has less than half the power of the TF101.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luna_c666:
There are so many people who should NOT be trying to use Paul's build wandering in and asking the most mundane questions (that have been answered, should not be asked, or combination of both) that at this point I wonder if he regrets releasing his so openly- any kind of pilot beta program geared towards the people who think it's a good idea would result in thousands of users not intended to participate in the program pushing their way in and causing Asus a huge headache, or any company for that matter. That is why beta releases are usually very limited and tightly controlled, or are blatantly advertised as 'mostly non-functional' to dissuade casual users to attempt using the beta before it is within their comprehension. I find it funny that people actually think Asus should do anything like leaking or allowing beta testing on something like NEW VERSIONS OF ANDROID (it would be another thing entirely to do a similar function with their products, as you cannot simply copy and repost the device itself, like would happen if they leaked a buggy beta of ICS). It would be a huge disaster! And so expensive in manhours for Asus' customer service department..i wish people would think before they suggest these kinds of things and realize that if Asus cannot profit, they are a useless company, and that is the LAST THING loyal Asus customers want; their devices to become abandoned because Asus simply can't afford to continue supporting them. Same goes for apps on the android market and any dvice for that matter- without profit motive, there is no motive. And we, as customers, are the ones who have to go without in the end. JUST CHILL. You will get ICS soon enough without asking a cmpany to rewrite their entire corporate-consumer relationship for you..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] locutus7o9:
Kindly get off your high horse.

It's not nearly as black and white as you put it. I was just suggesting an alternative to what's going on now. It's not a complete strategy, not a demand, not something I expect Asus to do without a solid plan, just a suggestion.

Even without official (beta) releases, people will still try things like custom ROM's, rooting, other modifications etc. Many of the problems people get are because they don't read or because it's hard to get custom ROM's installed. If there's an official easy way, these problems should be reduced.

Look at what Sony does with their ICS preview ROM's for certain phones. It's not as outrageous as you make it sound and Sony is definitely in it for the money.

Ics update

COME ON PEOPLE LET THEM HOPEFULLY GET IT RIGHT.! Do you want it full of bugs to complain about?Then when it's out let the brilliant minds at Xda go to work.Want the update badly too but patience is a virtue.Now if they let it go past mid March I will join in the whining myself and loudly.You see that the new prime update is now rolling out to fix their problem.maybe we are next.Then let the fun begin...I am dying to try a new ROM....haven't flashed nothing in 2 weeks

My bolt has 4 roms and mods on it now and I am bored but waiting is for a good bug free ICS is worth it.

Fix for calendar sync issue in Paul's ICS

For whoever having issues with calendar sync, its because of the missing calendar provide. Push the attached API system/app set permissions and reboot and it should work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] trickfarrelly:
Not everyone feels this way. I'm a dev waiting (still waiting) for ICS on the tablet to test my apps against. Because of ASUS dragging their feet hoping for more people to buy transformer primes (anything they say about testing/sending to google is a PR-spun lie) now i'm stuck in a posisition of having to wait till they feel like they've sold enough primes in order to resume my dev work. I don't care if there is bugs, release it NOW and fix the bugs with OTA updates, that's WHY they exist.

Just think: If paul burton can do a TF101 ICS port pretty much by himself, yet ASUS has an entire TEAM of people who are suposed to be dedicated to this stuff, then either:

1) ASUS and/or their "Team" is incompetant

2) ASUS has simply not been working on it (and possibly don't plan on it either?)

3) It's done and they aren't releasing it (wanna go buy a prime anyone?)

I'm willing to bet you right now that when Android 5 comes out they will pull this same stunt. Not happy ASUS...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadymouse:
That's what I've been saying, Asus might as well just release the damn thing so our Developers can do something with it. Asus need to let the CONSUMERS tell them what the bugs are so they can have a much better idea on what to fix/update next. There are thousands of transformers, some people are going to have problems whether they wait to make it "perfect" or not. That's just part of the business, release a product, customer gives feedback, you go back to lab fix/update it, release a patch to correct the feedback, now everyone is happy, and your company's reputation remains or even grows more positive.

Seem Motorola did not give bunch of false dates and did not hype up they simple working on update and got it out. Unlike asus which seems to be staff by bunch of liars.

It is the end of Mid Feb. By most peoples definations. And Feb 20 is end of month and still no ICS.

o_0

If you think Asus is a bunch of liars, and they are playing games and motorola is so much better why don't you sell me that piece of crap transformer for cheap and buy a xoom then? Or better yet an apple product, since they are great with updates (lmao).

They (motorola) were ALWAYS slated to get ics before anyone. Seriously? Liars? False dates? If you guys think Asus is just messing with your heads on this issue, kindly hand your tablet to the nearest person, buy an ipad and check yourself into therapy.

If anything, all the crying has just earned Asus plenty of name recognition where it previously had none. Someone get some cheese to go with all this whine.. :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TheUndertaker21:
i could care less about ICS but i'd love the devs to release new better ROM(ICS rom obviously) they cant do that without the source code.

i think ASUS is holding on the update because they want current TF101 owner to buy TF201. im not buying any new tablet now specially the extra core is useless well for now.

waiting for sammy but i think TF101 is still an awesome product

so ASUS rolling out that freaking update in the next 2 weeks

thank you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] naturecannon:
Well if ICS was released today but with many bugs....you all would be crying ICS is junk and would be asking why ASUS released it without further testing.

Most of you guys crying will never be happy. Chill out and wait. :D Its out of your control, get over it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] trickfarrelly:
Why? What does google have to do with this? Google isn't the one porting ICS to the TF101, as far as they are concerned they washed their hands of ICS when they released the source for it, and now they are focused on upstream android development. How could google possibly have anything to do with ASUS not releasing an ICS update they have already made for other devices?

No, i would be going through the source, making a custom ROM that worked, and reporting bugs (and their fixes) back to ASUS. Don't assume that everyone using a TF101 is technologically inept or illiterate

Chill People!!!!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ill1:
I don't think it matters who had ICS first, because they all should have had it at the same time. When Google announces an update it should be on display and working on all the leading Android tablets. I'm talking about the tablets sold by themselves not the ones sold through cell companies.

They should work with all the Android tablet makers BEFORE an update is both annouced and released to make sure they have it running on devices that will be sold using the update as a selling point. Not only is this good business it might attract more developers to the platform. It would show that Google and it's business partners are serious about gaining market share.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluizzo:
Hey like Luna said if no one wants there TF, I wouldn't mind another one. Plus we at least get a aosp taste of it soooo download that and call it a day.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
ill1 is right. I think Google should have gotten this out to its flagship devices one month before everyone else as a prestige thing, but put out ICS to the other devices as a signal to its competitors. A uniformed army is more impressive..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shahbaz5588:
The whole "google android opensource" is flawed... Google could have certainly done better... if only rather than having to release the software update only, it should make device vendors release drivers (for their current/old phones) specific to the latest AOSP first... atleast this way it would truly be opensource considering anyone (devs or other companies) can use them or modify them later for their own use... if drivers cant be made public then they could have an agreement between android phone handset makers to share driver information between themselves to better support their devices... but then again it would lead to lesser devices being sold (which many companies will not like) and lesser profit...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vlasac:
Topic of this thread state 'ICS info', no 'ICS debating'. Could you guys chat in other 20 ICS threads, and leave this one just for information purpose? I don't have time to read 100s of posts to find a bit of useful information.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
Why distinguish tablets from phones? Where does the distinction end? what about 3g tablets?

Anyway,not gonna happen anytime soon. You need Android to be in a state where it can support backwards compatibility model for drivers. Desktop OS's can't even do this 100% and Android is far too immature. Google is still making major changes to the core OS, but they really do need to work on some form of passthrough driver support, so that we can load drivers in linux without a new ROM and that driver then passes through to android transparently. It's just not there yet.

I don't agree with the google open source model, but you have to remember how it works. Google releases the source, totally free with a few sample implementations and says "here have at it, do what you want with it". The only reason google gets involved(HC was the exception) is when you want GAPPS and market access.

It's not pretty, but it's the reason you have 99 dollar tablets on the market.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
This is also why some Mfgrs are able to release sooner. If Google developed and tested on their platform ( or one very similar) they have a head start. Also remember that open source OS is not as attractive if you also need non open sourced ( or late release) hardware drivers for a complete solution..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ill1:
I agree with majority of what your saying, even more so as I have been researching what the process is to actually update an Android device. And I'm with you in that it's not a pretty process. In fact I'm certain it's why most companies dont even bother with updating. I'm sure it's part of the hold up and delay of ICS on the TF101. I actually don't know of any financial benefit to Asus updating the TF101 when you factor in what it must cost them in labor to produce a port of ICS for our device.

There just needs to be standardization across devices, as most of these tablets are running mostly similar hardware. Do it like Ubuntu Google pushes out the OS and we decide if we want to update. I already paid for my tablet so when and how I update should be up to me not Asus .
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
Well the "financial benefit" at this point is that they promised it form the beginning. They have to update it, otherwise the PR will only get worse.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ill1:
Agreed...if they even care is a different story.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
I think the best solution is to let the process make itself successful.I.E.

Google release the open Source OS in a timely manner.

Tablet Mfgr's don't lock boot loader.

Hardware Mfgr's provide open source drivers on time.

Let the Devs work their magic.

If Tablet Mfgr wants to release an update, they could buy it from a Dev. ( has to be less expensive than keeping a staff of firmware update guys also motivation for Devs to spend their time)

The motivation to support this methodology would be that it would make your tablet more attractive than another and eventually kill off those that did not conform ( I.E. HP OS). One of the biggest problems currently with older tablets is getting updated drivers for hardware. Mfgr's that did not provide them would eventually be forced to leave the playing field as they would not be used. The Tablet Mfgr's motivation for buying a new tablet would be to get better performance, screen, user experience and not to get the latest OS. No one buys a new PC or Mac just to get the latest OS.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ErGo_404:
The Prime is not 3G, and they have a 3G version of the TF101. Getting ICS to run on both devices would be easier for them, as they would only have one version of Android to maintain (with only a few modifications between the two devices).
