[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quartercirclebak:
True, true. I certainly can't fault them for concentrating on this stuff first. Apart from GPS, my Prime has been (mostly) functional though, so maybe the cosmetic tics bug me more than they should. Oh well. Here's to hoping .15 fixes people's reboots...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scook9:
I was literally about to do the unlock and figured I ought to check for an OTA first just in case haha. Found one!

My main interest as far as custom roms go will be CM9, until then my only interest in unlocking would be to do nandroids - something I miss and am feeling slightly paranoid as a result of not having them
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
Can anyone direct me to the post that shows me where I can get back on the official update channel? Currently I'm on 11.1. Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Roland4:
Updated to .15. Pasadena . Maryland. Wifi may have improved by 4 or 5 DB. Wifi seems a little more stable. However this could be user error. Rest seems normal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
I changed the SKU from DE to WW yesteday and run with WW 14 now.

Do I get this OTA automatically as WW or for ASUS the unit is still DE, and I will have to wait the WW zip or a DE OTA?

I did not receive anything yet :-(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
I think all you have to do is apply an ota update manually (.13, .14 or .15)

.11.1 was not official, so you cannot see official updates, and thus must install them manually
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KBanause:
Do you have the dock keyboard? If yes which layout? are there any problems after you switched deom DE to WW?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BTrack:
If you think that's bad, there was a thread yesterday that blew me away. Some clown was looking for a receipt from the membership for the purchase of their Prime. Apparently, his company would subsidize the acquisition of a Prime but this guy wanted an iPad. He was going to submit the receipt for reimbursement and use the money to buy an iPad!

Can you believe the gall of some people?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dobbs3x:
Just because the wifi/bt drivers were not updated does not conclusively rule out improvements or not to wifi. Could they not have fixed code within the rest of the system that might need optimized to play better with the driver and in return help improve wifi performance?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
Updated to .15. Initially, the wifi icon did not show the accurate signal strength. I turned wifi off and back on. Looks right now. Used OTA rootkeeper to restore root, rebooted, no issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
No issue with the keyboard.

I use the unit in english, so I do not know if for a German could have some issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Core618:
Not here it hasn't.

Mind you, mine was fine to begin with. Seeing the same signal strengths on the Prime as I see on my GS4G sitting right next to it.

Not getting any streaming lag from Google Music, and it's set to stream highest quality, etc... Youtube stuff is also playing without lag.

Speedtest gives me better speeds on the Prime than on my GS4G, as in 5 down on the phone, 12 down on tab. Double the throughput.

GPS - still FAIL - it gets my loc close enough using wireless to suit me, but no, doesn't work. Only once have I ever checked and actually seen satellites show up.

BT did see and connect to my phone after the patch reboot. First time it's seen anything, since the patch didn't upgrade anything BT related I have to assume that maybe it did an overwrite that sorted it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smoothone:
I got an INSTANT GPS lock with the update. Will test further.

Way to take responsibility for something that you were either too lazy to read or is way beyond your comprehension, but still did. Scumbag.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smoothone:
SERIOUSLY WHY would you try to install CWM without unlocking. You obviously need to do some more reading but please don't complain when your Prime gets bricked. Eveyone here including myself likes to help others but people like yourself are causing problems that you shouldn't even have in the first place. If you are rooted then my question would be "Did you delete any system apps". That would give you a message like the one you you are experiencing.

Yes, because, of course, his failure to comprehend basic English is someone else's fault, not his. Probably a product of a broken home, and bad educational system... yada, yada...etc. ad nauseum (emphasis on the nausea)

See above not about failure to comprehend... you see, the normal rules do not apply to the 'special' people, so they can do what they want, and it is everyone else's fault if it goes wrong.

I'm seriously starting to understand why so many people have been vanishing from XDA...

Rule #1 - If you don't know what you're doing, don't fully understand the consequences of your actions (and yes children, there are consequences), Don't Do It!

Rule #2 - if you break rule #1, then it's your own fault, and don't start whining and crying about it, and blaming it on everyone else.

Okay... /Rant Off... I feel better now...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
Got the update here in Texas USA. No problems updating my stock Prime. No problems so far but I wasn't having problems before. Gonna run it hard for a while and see what happens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Updates coming fast & furious these days...

I am about to apply .15 - as always I spend an hour or two researching how it has gone so far for folks that have applied it. Fortunately for me I have neither picked up any problems, nor have I specifically NEEDED any of these updates, thus my casual approach (or cautious approach might be more accurate.)

I STILL would love to see even a basic form of changelog/fixlist posted when Asus does these. As I said yesterday:

I understand these are maintenance updates and that Asus is seeking solutions for spontaneous rebooting, wifi and bluetooth throughput issues and so on. That's great and it is particularly amazing to see Gary getting beta firmware for XDA members to test. It just doesn't get better than that (short of not having issues in the 1st place)

The reason I am calling for (well, asking) some type of changelog is, it would help those without particular issues make an informed decision whether or not to even APPLY a particular update.

I know that Asus is not likely to want to air dirty laundry, such as engineering observations such as why something broke in previous code, nor would they want to give away any proprietary info belonging to Asus or Nvidia, but a basic description of what's in the package would be super useful. I.E. : "Second attempt (or attempt B) to fix screen banding is in this release.

Asus seems to be leading the charge in the industry in terms of "working closely with end users" albeit somewhat out of necessity. ANY company as big as Asus willing to allow beta testing among users is amazing, regardless of the fact that they needed to do SOMETHING to get a handle on these issues.

My final point is that while Asus does not want a piecemeal approach, with different FW versions floating about, there is definitely an inconsistent result to EVERY Firmware package that has been released. Does that hint that there are subtle hardware differences to you? It does to me. No matter how minute the differences are, and whether they are component revisions, manufacturing inconsistencies or whatnot, this is what it looks like to me.

If this were the case, Asus would not want this to be known. Illustrated by Gary's statement in the now widespread interview he did. He specifically said there have been NO hardware changes since release.

Why would he say that if it were not true? I wondered the same thing since another Asus Support Manager told me something quite different. I am NOT one for conspiracy theories, but there is a much simpler explanation. I think it would be to prevent a potential problem of large numbers of customers demanding the newer hardware.

All supposition. Nothing more, and I do not want to debate it's merits or lack of them. Just food for thought. As I said, I am not a conspiracy believer, I just wonder why thee are so MANY different behaviors among existing Prime on each firmware release. This theory would explain it, if it were true. Who knows.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] docangle:
I updated this morning(to .15), but I am still getting reboots when I doing Market Updates! If I update them 1 at a time, I have a lower chance of reboots(instead of updating all), but even than it still happens. I had 5 reboots just trying to install Google Books update. I have tried clearing the Cache + Data for the Market App and rebooting but that did not help.

I will even get reboots when Updating Apps from the 'Amazon Apps Store.'

I even went so far as to 'Factory Reset' the device and have Google Market restore my Apps and the problem came back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] epology:
Sorry to be a nuisance about this, but has anybody already recieved the german .15?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I think this happens with pretty much every device made today. Visit any forum and check out the threads that follow an update--all kinds of people have all kinds of different experiences. It's almost a natural law.

What I think is a more likely explanation is that everyone installs different apps, runs them in different combinations, uses their devices in different environments (different routers, different levels of traffic, different levels and types of interference, etc.), configures their devices differently, etc., etc. Also, people notice different things, and report them differently--what's vitally important to one person and a reason to complain loudly is a mere nuisance to another person and not worth the time to post about.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] codyco83:
still freezing and rebooting

My prime reboots when I put it to sleep while watching a movie and try to come back to it. I can always tell when it's going to freeze because when I wake it back up the unlock button is grainy. No changes with the newest update. It does this on every video player I've tried.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Good gosh... that's theft!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
That's always encouraging

I dunno why, but I fall for it EVERY time, just like Charlie Brown and the damn football. See the Prime is Lucy, and GPS is the football and... hell screw the analogy, I just want GPS to work!

And yes, just about every time it fires up and see's a lot of sats. I get all optimistic again. Until a minute later when it loses them all. That is the crux of where it seems to be broken. It's not like it's incapable of GETTING sats. or even USING sats. It's the inability to maintain the locks and the views. That and how inconsistent it is in general

I have a lovely screenshot I have posted a bunch of times (I will spare you a repeat performance, as I am not out to prove anything) of a time I got 13 satellites in use. 13! I was amazed, and feeling all good, then, 30 seconds later I had 0 in use. They ALL went bye-bye.

Needless to say, that's NOT gonna cut it, for navigation, and it's not all that great for location either, especially if you are on the move. For all the folks that love to say "I don't NEED GPS on my tablet. That's what my PHONE is for" (Heard that one a few times?) I say fine for you and I am glad you are happy. Really. No sarcasm, and all joking aside. But when it won't work well enough to give me weather by location, (except coarse location) and I can't use it like they do in the Asus Video where the guy pops up maps, spots a location, and heads there, I am not happy. So yeah, I get my hopes up every FW release. At least my Prime is stable. No issues coming and going with these releases. THAT would make me REALLY mad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
.15 speed is better now I'm #143 with 13149 from previous 12905 on Antutu mind you my sd card is not the best with a class 4, I could get a few more points there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Seems right to me

And man, was that FAST or what? Maybe a little TOO fast, LOL.

Somebody do a "slap over IP" on me if I am wrong on this, but for those who unlocked and went with Virtuous ROM, I think it's wise to stay away form ALL OTA updates. It's not the Unlocking, nor the ROM thats the issue, I think, but rather Recovery installation that will cause you to brick the Prime if you mess with OTA / Blobs

Caution people, just reasonable caution. I am probably wasting the effort. Anyone who unlocked the first day, and applied the first ROM out for the device on the day it was released is PROBABLY not the "cautious" sort, LOL!

I think all the rush to develop is awesome, and there were obviously a few projects in the works awaiting Unlock tool. But I think I will let others lead the way, and follow at a safe distance. Travelling the modding road this way is slow, but all those dead Primes on the side of the road look like skeletons to the average explorer.

Didn't Diamondback Brick his Prime yesterday? He said so in a post, and the immediate thought was, there goes Virtuous ROM development for a bit. Knowing that guy, he no doubt found a magical unbrick somehow. The post blames NVFlash - or rather that Asus won't allow access to NVFlash. thats all I know, and there is a fair chance that I have no freaking clue of what I am talking about. Would not be the first time.

Are you rooted, overclocked or what? Is that STOCK? (at #143, I guess not)Also Antutu does not measure read/write of your removable Micro SD or SD in the dock. It measure internal "SD Card" memory, and the memory Asus used in the Prime, or the controller, or the way ICS uses it (see how much I know, lol?) are not producing good speeds for some reason. It's been adressed in a thread on XDA, I don't have a link handy, sorry. My Antutu, on .14 is currently not my best. Unrooted, my best score/rank has been 11390/#256 - Running perf scores is one of the items on my "checklist" after each FW update.

Where is the 15 version for manual download? Please
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mgmCube:
I just tested this, and If I turn of the screen for a minute and then try to start the vid again, it freezes en reboots.

If I only turn the screen of for 10 sec the vid starts again without a proplem.

Not a daily issue for me. But it's strange.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I am really sorry that you are not happy with your Prime. But keep in mind, GPS was removed from the list of features because Asus said there was no software fix possible that would make GPS work reliably. They can tweak how aGPS works to a certain degree in order to provide better rough positioning but even then they acknowledge it will likely be usable for navigation or similar services.

If you are really unhappy with the Prime, return it or sell it. Just don't get your hopes up that each new software update may fix GPS, because it won't and you are only gonna end up frustrating yourself :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Stock, rooted, overclocked, use ATPTweak and SetCpu, yha somehow I though I had read that better SD card would improve result but aging has a tendency to affect my memory. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rchristy:
That happens to me started from very beginning to all firmwares I have. I previously thought it was due to the apps. Now looks like it is a bug in system.

I think we should raise this issue to ASUS to get fix.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gary Key:
Overwrite and reset on the BT/WiFi firmware, should solve the issue where a few people complained about WiFi being half strength after the last update (easily fixed with a reconnect but hey one less step is always better).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whalemonster:
Can anyone comment as to the stability of this update? Specifically, have any of you who were suffering from random reboots noticed an improvement? Have they stopped?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ruddogg:
Got the update here in So Cal, .15... updated, lost root, got root back using RootKeeper. All is good. GPS locks immediately in doors.

No random reboots, haven't had random reboots or battery drain since .13, .14 was great, hopefully .15 will be the same.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] codyco83:
Yeah, I guess I haven't used MX player long enough to see if it has this issue, I'll double check. It happens to me on stock, dice, and one other player I can't remember. I used MX player all the time on my galaxy s2 but my mkv's that played perfectly on it play choppy and with no sound on my prime unless I use SW decoding for the sound, then it just plays choppy. That's disappointing by itself. But I can live with it since dice player seems to work fine. But the rebooting issue is really annoying.

Asus hasn't even released the german .14 yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikevipe:
Just thought of this however I have already updated to .15 so I can not try it until next update.

Can someone try the following (requires that your rooted):

install rsync from market

rsync your / to another linux machine or fresh sd card.

update to .15 or whatever version your going to.

run rsync with update only (will only backup files with a changed signature when compared to your last rsync backup)

This should then output only the filenames of the files which have been changed in the update. Whether you can view the file to see the changes will depend on if it is compiled, encrypted, plain text etc.

Its a start

As for the HW changes, I believe I saw a thread listed here yesterday of several people claiming ASUS has set them up a RMA saying that they have a hardware fix for the Wifi/BT dropout issue. Would be interesting to see if this is true or not.

Also ASUS does not push out a mass update, it is tied to your serial number in their database. Just as they use your serial number record to keep track of if you unlocked requesting your unlock code etc, I am sure they can release seperate firmwares on a serial by serial basis and you would never know the difference unless a md5 of all changed files were compared hence looping back to my rsync theory :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] uragaaru:
Can anyone with experience grief with the .14 update (ideally with BCOKAS******* SN) report how .15 is treating them?

I'd like to update without worrying about performing yet another factory reset to stabilize things.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sontin:
You will get only the DE Firmware. :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
..not if somebody or somewhere has the ww 15 as zip
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scook9:
I have a BCOKASXXXXXX Prime and have not suffered form any problems in a while. I had browser induced reboots on the first ICS release but think they have been gone since then. Have been using the prime all day today on new version and no complaints. Just the usualy browser choking and me having to click wait before it works again but that has been here since day one (Day one for me was after ICS was out)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sontin:
AFAIK nobody was able to update with the cache ota file. We must wait until Asus upload the firmware to their server.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Thats the point, I am NOT unhappy with my Prime. Would you abandon your child just because he does something annoying? This argument is too old to start up again. Suffice it to say that I am aware that GPS is "not likely" to even work the way it did on my TF101. That does not mean that I have to like it, it irks me, but what are my options, really? I love the Prime, I just am super annoyed about this issue. I have the reight to be, since my C1 Serial number says "GPS" on the box. If Asus wants to fix it or replace it at some point, I will entertain the idea. Until then, it's not like I can go get a "comparable" Tegra 3 device.

On another note: has anyone experienced the stuttering freeze screens in Shine Runner and Riptide? Have you tested yet with .15? Curious on this, though I don't see a lot of others complaining about this issue. It tend to happen when the games hit a graphically complex screen (hitting something and when it smashes for example. Annoys the hell out of me, and the only way I can avoid it somewhat is rebooting before playing the particular title.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Just updated. Only issue I am looking for is the WIFI/BT fallout fix.

Didn't happen in this update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] R00l:
This update, or possibly any. I wouldn't be surprised if they did not fix this, but made it a hardware RMA send in fix. Here is to hoping they do!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Funny that you mentioed that, because the same thing just happened to me while paying Riptide..the screen just starting flashing and I had to press the home button to exit. I rebooted, played and all was fine. I hope .15 is not the cause as I have never had one single issue with any updates prior to the riptide glitch today.

Note that i am not rooted, and i rebooted immediately after installing the .15 update
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Yep. Going to buy another prime this weekend. Going to try and get the latest C2 serial. Because some with C2's have said they have no issue with the WIFI/BT fallout.

If everything works good. Then it has to be a hardware issue. I want to open it up and see what is different. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
There are no hardware differences with any of the serial runs as of yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
One nice thing I've noticed with .15 is that the email widget now updates itself after I access the email app. Previously, I'd see new email, go into the app and read them, and the widget would still show those new email messages (along with other messages I'd deleted). Now, the widget updates immediately.

Pretty darn sure that's new to .15, because I was just getting frustrated with it last night.
