Are you totally stock and unrooted? If so, just update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anorack:
Hey Asus! , please include ad hoc support!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mbamberg:
I also noticed a little slower response, but the other issue is that the touch screen seems much more sensitive; Just hovering my hand over it seems to trigger it.

Things pop up that I haven't selected by actually touching the screen. Didn't have this before this OTA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfarinella:
Rooted. I think I am going to unroot, do a factory reset and than do the update. Better safe than sorry.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
Unnecessary.

As lock as you aren't unlocked you're good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wormat22:
My wifi keeps constantly connecting and then disconnecting. Anyone else having this issue? It won't stay connected for more than a second.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
Hey guys, I'm still having a few issues.

I'm on .11.1 and I've downloaded the .14 update from here (.14 and not .15 because it is the most recent one they have on the website). I then put it on an SD card and followed all of the instructions Asus has listed here. However, I'm not getting the usual exclamation point icon that pops u letting me know I have an update ready.

I've read through this whole thread twice and haven't seen anywhere where I can manually download .15, but that would be a moot point anyway because the method Asus tells me to use wouldn't install anyway. I'm rooted btw, with RootKeeper, and keeping root is mandatory for me in this case.

Solutions?

UPDATE: Nevermind, I figured out what to do. For those who are in similar situations here is what you do:

Download the firmware file with the proper SKU.

Rename the extracted .zip to "EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP"

Put it in the root folder of a FAT32-formatted microSD card (I was originally trying it on my NTFS 32gb class 10 samsung card I use for media)

Turn off your tablet.

Restart the tablet WHILE HOLDING THE DOWN-VOLUME BUTTON.

Within the next 5 seconds click the Up-Volume button to confirm the prompt.

An Android figure will appear with some wiz-bang thing happening in his stomach. Leave the tablet alone for a while and then the Asus boot screen will pop-up with a progress bar at the bottom. Let this finish.

Upgrade process complete!

Make sure you backup and restore root with the Voodoo OTA RootKeeper app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] armukhtar:
Im rooted...did the update..everything fine..but lost root...luckly rootkeeper is there to help
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
While I haven't had it I have read others have. I would try going into settings and delete/forget your wifi connection giving issues. After that do a reboot and when it comes back on go ahead and setup your connection again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bradwest414:
All is well

Updated about 30 minutes ago to .15 - stock, never rooted.

Contrary to what others have posted, this is the first time that my recent apps DOESN'T flicker *as of yet*

I'm not a huge YouTube watcher, but it seems like data access has gotten slightly quicker. I realize that there was no official WiFi update but, in the past, I sometimes noticed that when browsing (or using an app with data) it would 'pause' loading - the data arrows would stop flashing for about 1-2 seconds - then it would start going again. Haven't had that lag yet tonight, hoping this will continue.

Don't really use GPS (WiFi assist is good enough) so can't report on that.

I'm hoping that the camera shutter lag will be fixed soon in a future update; that 1 second delay has made me miss out on so many pictures (or they turned out blurred)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shiro836:
The browser still hangs and stutters when loading multiple tabs or heavy websites.. Will this be fixed in the future?

Also is DirectTouch technology by nvidia applicable to our tabs?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] giakhanh:
Just updated it from OTA, working great for me. The performance is slightly better, now i'll check the battery
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ogdak:
Now on WW .15 for about 36 hours.

So far not one freeze/reboot.

Will run benchmark later.

Starting to enjoy my prime more and more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DrWowe:
Just in case anyone needs it, here is the OTA update file that was saved to /cache/dlpkgfile (I make a practice of backing them up before installing).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DerSebi86:
How does it work with the dlpkg file?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jedi5diah:
Does firmware.15 uses cfq or still noop io? Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jedi5diah:
Sadly Android still lacks a proper stock browser. desperately need XDA help to tune it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HOFFERN342:
Ok, after having constant reboots while trying to update yesterday morning, I managed to do so in the end at around 9 or 10 in the morning. .11 had reboots, but not so often.. .14 had reboots every 5 seconds, almost impossible to get things done.. so being able to download the update was a miracle!

And now.. finally, on .15 it seems to me that the updates has stopped, at least for me. I have been running it max out all the time since yesterday, games like GTA 3, 720p and 1080p video, Shadowgun THD and so on. Also tried to surf a lot on the net and so on. The battery seems good, and I haven't had a single reboot from the time I update (between 9-10 in the morning the 25th, til now 15:20 the 26th). So more than 24 hours of uptime with no reboot. I am hoping that it stays this way.. but for now it seems very stable. Looks to me like it will finally be of use to me :D

I am very happy, thank you Asus and whomever else is involved in the fixing process. You have at least proved to me that it is just software, and not hardware related as I was afraid of. Didn't read the rest of the thread, so I am not sure if other people have problems, but for me it seems stable at least.. hopefully a whole bunch of other people are experiencing the same.

Edit: I could mention that my tablet is a WW-device with the serial batch that starts on C10..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] minniecafe:
I am very happy with my Prime since new. Its so much faster after the latest update, gps work, just need 10 second and connect 10 + birds...wifi download speed is about 21 mbps....no complain. If you tablet perform bad after the update, try to do a factory reset and wipe all the date.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eec_:
Is there a link? There isn't still anything on Asus' website. Since there are so many people with the update, I am assuming some of them did it manually, instead of waiting.

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KBanause:
I'm still on .11 and I'm waiting for the .14 update (it's still not available for the DE SKU) and you guys are already talking about the .15?

Greetings from my TF201 and KBanause
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SMT_Nocturne:
since i got .15 update for my prime

it freeze alot and most times while playing some games
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Skullmonkey:
I have noticed a slight battery consumption increase with .14 but .15 is just ridiculous. Upgraded to .15 last night, did a reboot immediately after the update, drained the battery to 2% (which took less time then usual)and put it on to charge. Took the prime off the charger around 845 this morning and haven't used it much today except to check a few emails. Probably 15 mins screen on time between this morning and now (410pm). So in basically 7 and a half hours, my battery is down to 31% when I have done pretty much nothing. This is plain UNACCEPTABLE. It seems every time I update, my battery gets worse.

What can I use to monitor what is using so much battery?

-------------------

My GPS seems to be working for the first time. Not great at all but I can get 4 birds in view and 0 locks. This is inside, storming, least optimal conditions. But it somewhat actually works for the first time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Strange, you seem to be the only one with that problem. .14 caused major battery drain for all users, without exception, and .15 corrected it for all users without exception.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
Battery fine here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rits06:
15 ruls

Well 12 hours whit the .15 update, in the .14 no rebbotz, no freeze, same whit this but the GPS works realy nice now, i can saw my home jjajaj, and im inside. Batery life is ok 25% now but whit 10 hours of normal use.

Send my report from Costa Rica

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sgosnell:
I'm having reboots after installing .15. I had none before. Now it seems to reboot after several hours of not being used. I wake it up, start doing things, and it freezes, and after several seconds it reboots. It has done it while on the market, while browsing, and while replying to email. The only common factor I can find is that it seems to happen within a few minutes of use after hours of sleeping. Today after a reboot, it suddenly decided to go to sleep. The screen just went black, and I thought it was rebooting, but it didn't. I finally pressed the power button and it woke back up. Soon after, while typing a reply to a thread on another forum, the 't' key stuck and put a couple of rows of t's in the reply box. I finally stopped it by pressing the space bar. Strange things happening, and they didn't happen before.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dynamikd:
I've noticed two issues with this update. When my tablet wakes up, the wifi won't turn back on. It happens sporadically and I can't pinpoint the reason why. Also I've experienced my first reboot with this update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eec_:
Actually .13 caused a battery drain, I think. .14 fixed that problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
he's not, I'm dropping about 25-35% an hour on power saving with everything off but wifi and brightness on 60%.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Skullmonkey:
Yeah that seems more familiar. Except for mew for some reason. Does anyone recommend Better Battery Stats to see what is causing my battery to drain?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Johnny0906:
Screenshot of new update

Cheers!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
And I guess no improvement in GPS, WiFi strength and WiFi+BT??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyiam40:
Impoved GPS

Gps is a lot better! In home picked up one sat now 10:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] malufor:
My stock browser still crashes... had never another issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Try to reboot, no one in the test phases reported that issue at all. Is it rebooting every sinegle time since you installed .15, or did it happen just once?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] netw0lf:
Just updated to .15 in Ontario Canada. WIFI seems faster...is there a changelog available to see what was updated?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pvdwaal:
Also updated in The Netherlands.

Still no GPS and will check Wifi when I get home.

First thing that I noticed is that the it seems more responsive: better scolling, quicker overall response.

Or is it just me?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sontin:
And as a german user i can still wait another week or two for the updates.

But only if you guys don't find new problems... :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Wifi seems alot stronger. Strength doesn't fluctuate as much anymore. Someone needs to post .14 screenshot to see if anything else changed. Like the wifi, BT, or GPS version. Ill test this more and other things you listed to see.

Damn I'm mad I didn't just wait. Then voodoo could've easily restored my root. Now that I manually installed this build last night, it erased my root backup. Plus my PC is down ATM.

Really wish a root method would be released to do on the tablet itself without needing a PC. Like a one click apk or website root method like jailbreakme.com.

I NEED MY ADAWAY AND OVERCLOCKING BACK..LOL
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
here yee go

.14

Wifi: 6.1.1.18

GPS: 6.9.13

BT: V9.26

.15

same as above

No change.

Any changes to wifi and gps performance are likely a placebo or result of simply rewriting over those files (sometimes a wipe/rewrite will fix issues temporarily I suppose). Unless I suppose, whatever was causing reboots somehow affected wifi and gps performance
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] malufor:
After a reboot the browser seems more stable. Thx. It still freeze under heavy load and every touchimput cause a crash but it seems to happen less often.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
Try a different browser. Pretty accepted that there are quite a few faster. I like Dolphin HD, makes me feel like im on my laptop its so fast and easy to use
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maxfac1234:
installing .15 here in London...

Edit(1): Nothing changed in terms of wifi/bt/gps firmware number. Previously on .11 --> No issue / on .14 --> random crashes every 6 hours / .15 --> testing...

Wifi a little better maybe(?)The placebo effect of having that ".15" is amazing. I feel like I am taking a happy pill.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vvveith:
Got it on the east second I turned on!

It's here and was already downloaded when I booted device this morning on east coast.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Yep...only the build number and kernel version changed from .14 to .15. My wifi was good on .14 anyways. I haven't had a reboot in stock browser or ICS+ browser since installing this update last night. So its working good for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] netw0lf:
OMG, the wifi is really FAAST. No more buffering issues with youtube, the webpages are loading a LOT faster. Thank you ASUS (And Gary!)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Santeno:
I too got this update OTA last night. Haven't had a chance to play with things much yet.

Does anyone know what this update was intended to do?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Frooty:
I'm pretty sure it was only to fix the rebooting problems some people had.

Also, I'm on the .15 beta and it doesn't say that there is an update available, so I'm guessing this is now the official .15 and they're the same thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Thanks. But I don't think ill see this OTA since Gary sent me this build last night to test. I installed it off micro SD card. Everything looks exactly the same as the new OTA most are receiving now. So if it is exactly the same, makes sense that my device won't detect a new update available.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
Hopefully you will be able to get future updates.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
Last time people had trouble getting updates was because they manually installed 11.1 that was not supposed to be installed publically.

Gary himself sent these guys the .15 update, so If there is any problem with future updates I am sure he would be more than willing help resolve(whereas they were reluctant to help those with 11.1)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vvveith:
Please don't say things like that.

This is the kind of thing ASUS would love to hear to make people think that their problems are

their

problems. The update had nothing to do with WiFi/BT. You need to do more conclusive testing before posting that all is well. When you tried youtube before, was their server stressed? Do you know? Was you network Stressed? Do you know? How many test did you do to say that all is well? Even a slot machine will pay off if you pull the lever enough times, Does not mean that the machine will pay off all the time.

After reading post and threads of so much discontent, I feel cheated. paid eight hundred dollars for tablet and keyboard that advertised GPS, WiFi, BT, ICS, Tegra 3, and other claims. First tablet I've ever owned. And there is nothing but problems with some of the advertised features, to the point of them removing the advertisements that made me buy the shiny new toy.

Asus does nothing to rectify the situation and what is needed is a total recall/refund or trade up to the next model. That is only good business practice. They made millions of dollars off us and everyone seems to be so content when they throw you a little fix here and there to rectify a not as advertised device. I will not buy anything this company makes ever again. Lesson learned. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
I love my Prime!

/end Divergence of thread
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Hope so. Won't know till next one rolls around. Just mad I didn't wait so I could've used voodoo to restore root.

Yeah he better..lmao sent it to me last night. If I would've known in less than 12 hrs. Official OTA was on the way I would've waited. I have a good feeling ill still be able to receive future OTA. If I don't get the next one then ill know for sure it was due to manual install of micro SD card. It was sent to me by him and followed his instructions on install. Only time will tell.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sly.cooper:
Upgraded mine to .15. I am not seeing any changes. I had no issues with earlier versions and same is with .15 (~2hrs.). Where can I see the change log? I would be interesting in seeing changelog before the upgrade.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Can confirm. Rockville, MD 2/24/2012 New OTA .15
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BTrack:
I have no issues with my Prime. I'm enjoying my investment in my shiny new toy.

I'm not sure how your comments relate to the .15 upgrade but I hope you feel better now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] azriaziz:
Lol. Now I feel better.. eek!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skier6666:
Can't wait to try this download when I get home today.

Did anyone with .14 have any screen flickering and apps disappearing / re-appearing issues? If so is that fixed?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
How can I get it?

I am on WW 14 in DK but cannot see it on any ASUS site, or popping up as an update yet.

Any link available..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkdroid:
It would be nice if the screen that has the "check for update" button also had a "see changes" button or better yet use some of that large blank area to just display the most recent changelog.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
You can pretty much prepare for the fact that every OTA is going go kill root. I think this is a forgone conclusion & should be expected.

Never one time did I experience any of this.

---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeejee:
Flickering caused by the recent apps menu is still not fixed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
For you, I never had the issue
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xsteven77x:
So basically us with the unlocked bootloaders are COMPLETELY up **** crick even if someone posts the update.zip? Oh well. I thought the terms and conditions meant we just couldn't directly update ota. Didn't know we wouldn't be able to flash the zip.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
What was the point of unlocking if you werent going to install a custom rom anyway (that , in due time, will have the latest OTA cooked into it)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drmilosz:
Serbia got update .15

.15 OTA is available in Serbia now, just updated and restored root without problem. I have device for 5 days now so except flickering of screen (especialy in firefox ) i havent noticed any other problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xsteven77x:
So that I am ready to roll when the day comes and i come on XDA and CM9 or some other bad ass rom is available. Until then I was just gonna keep up with the stock one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
MIND OVER MATTER
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
That's correct. It is no longer an Asus device and receives no support from Asus in any way shape or form.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
The Virtuous V2 is practically stock with a little OC and, even without the OC, it is just plain faster !

Of course it is a slight pain to restore all your apps.

Virtuous should have a 0.15 rom as soon as they can get their hands on the 0.15 files
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xsteven77x:
Well this is going back to best buy today for an exchange. And don't tell me they are not going to take it now because THEY ARE. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quartercirclebak:
Seconded. I'm wondering if this is ever going to get fixed, I don't even know if it's been acknowledged yet. Bugs me to no end.

Can't really confirm any changes playing with .15. Work WiFi gets a huge amount of interference so I can't really judge that. A certain combination of apps was causing a freeze and reboot for me previously (Dolphin Browser HD with StreamCatcher Lite running in the background), so I'll test this when I get home. Can't say I have high hopes though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Metacloud:
Still process going down :(

I just installed this new firmware and still I have with every reboot 1 process stopping...

Android.process.media has stopped I don't know what is making it. Can someone help me? I tried to install CWM without unlocking and if that causes it because I haven't unlocked how to get it out? I mean without unlocking device
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oduca:
Updated in toronto everything works thesame
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dcAndroidFan:
Yeah, the flicker is annoying but imagine if your device was unusable because it rebooted every few minutes. Considering the normal development-to-production timelines for software work, the speed at which .15 was pushed out is remarkable. I think that this firmware was designed to address the reboot issue and basically nothing else, and Asus wanted to get it live as soon as possible.

Once the general feeling is that the majority of devices are system-stable, then I think they'll go back to work on UI glitches and (hopefully) wireless performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
So you going to exchange device because you unlocked your device without doing the proper background research on all the details involved in it? SMH lmfao classic

Calm down...lol CMW has nothing to do with android.process.media stopping. And the process has nothing to do with reboots. I've been seeing that message every once in a while since a few updates back. So its nothing new. Doesn't even cause anything to happen. Just a background process crashing or a bug. Just press OK when it happens.

Now if you experiencing reboots, that's something else causing that. N WHY DID YOU TRY TO INSTALL CWM WITHOUT UNLOCKING?

Man people going crazy up here just doing anything or unlocking without really knowing what's involved. Come on man...get it together..lol.

Just uninstall cwm if its installed now. Make sure to clear the data n cache from it. To be sure no traces left. No since of it being installed if you not unlocked. Research before you go trying stuff before you brick your device like others have. Ask questions before you do stuff you unsure of.

I have a feeling we about to see alot more bricked primes on the way. SMH
