I'm still getting the "unfortunately the .... media.process..." error. Was hoping this update would help fix that.

I had to factory reset after update to make mouse appear again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkdroid:
Changes I've noticed:

The quicksettings panel is accessible from the lock screen (I don't believe it was before). It used to show but you couldn't access the contents (it only shows the notifications/time and some info but hides the toggles and brightness controls).

The auto rotation feature has been improved slightly. If you are attached to the keyboard dock, the screen will not rotate into portrait mode. Once you undock, it will. However, the lock screen still does not respect your rotation choice. Even if you have disabled auto-rotate, the lockscreen will switch to portrait when it should stay locked in landscape. Similarly if you disable auto-rotation when in portrait mode, everything should stay in portrait until rotation is allowed again (including the lockscreen). This just seems logical to me. An example of when this bug is annoying is when you are holding the tablet in portrait mode and lying in bed on your side (so the tablet is actually in landscape mode relative to gravity but not to you).

Small but useful improvements!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vittogn:
Seems good

I updated my rooted WW without temp unrooting. I only got back to original SystemUI.apk. Voodoo did the trick to restore my root after the update + reboot!

Improvements & Fix

:

Screen tearing with both Youtube + sw keyboard and in recent app is gone.

I can get directly into notifications in the lock screen.

The browser performances seems better: I never had FC or the wait pop up, but micro 1-2 seconds freeze/lag seems better now. They are still there but less. I only use the stock browser. When I rotate the screen it still have to re-render, but it is something acceptable.

Battery usage stats works!

Not (fully) tested yet

:

Ad Hoc, wifi direct and Lan via USB.

Wifi performance.

Wifi/BT fallout.

GPS (no hope here tough!!)

System reboot: I always suffered by a rare number of event. In 15 it got better to the level of 5 reboots in the all life of this fw (one month?). I'll report after a week of use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slowatsch:
Anyone else getting Reboots when going to sleep during video playback?

Yesterday I was watching a TED Video, then put the TFP to sleep, when I unlocked it again the whole TFP froze. I could go back to home screen with heavy delay. When I switched back to the TED Video the TFP rebooted...

After reboot I tried the same thing again... again a freeze... Managed to get to the homescreen and started MXPlayer to play another Video... MX-Player froze aswell and the TFP rebooted....

Rest is workling perfecty...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fonduekid:
Have you tested wifi direct? ) see you say you haven't fully tested it.. but have you tested it in any way? does it work?

For me it doesn't...

You can tick off AdHoc wifi, works like a charm with my Nokia N900 and Qt Mobile Hotspot, also with wireless security (WEP). :)

Not really sure about whether wireless range improved or not though, if so not dramatically, at least not for me. The air's pretty crowded in my neighborhood.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DonavanC4:
First Try Failed for me as well. Trying again now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AdyCarter:
I was getting the red exclamation mark of doom.

I forcibly re-flashed .15 over itself and now I've updated and everything is working fantastically.

I've lost root, but seen as I was rooted but hadn't done ANYTHING other than adblock with it I don't feel like I'm missing out too much.

Curious that the update was failing though, for me it claims that my PlusOne.apk checksum was wrong, which is REALLY odd as like I said, despite root I'd done nothing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slybarman:
Looking at the battery usage, the battery draw from wifi is much higher than any of my other android devices. It makes we wonder if the "fix" for wifi was to crank up the power to the wifi chip. I know with my android phones certain ROMs tweaked power to the various radios to balance performance against power consumption.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hairdewx:
I kept getting the red exclamation error, but then I realized I'm in Japan and was trying to update my US prime, so it was downloading the wrong region update.

I got the correct US update from the ASUS website and did a manual update and all is well now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
I'm wondering about wifi power draw too. There's 2 battery pictures on page 17 of this thread. One has wifi power draw about twice as much as the screen and the other about the same. (I'm in the latter)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anthonyalberto:
Same here, wifi sucks as much as battery as the screen does ... doesn't seem normal to me since I only use the screen at 50-100% brightness !

Is there any app capable of getting the antenna gain / tx power? Therefore we could compare with someone still on .15 ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I'm currently on a cruise, and while I briefly had my wifi on, my Prime started downloading the new FW. Since Internet time is expensive, I had to disconnect the Prime during the download. At the time, it said it was about 55% completed. I haven't been online with my Prime since, but this morning it says that the FW update has been downloaded and is ready to install. I find this confusing, and I'm afraid to update as I'm suspicious that the FW update isn't totally downloaded. What should I do here? Do I risk bricking my Prime with an incomplete update, or is Asus smart enough to confirm the integrity of the FW update before installing? Thanks for the help guys.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XXRay:
No root as of yet 31 march 2012

Nope there is nothing you can do, your root keeper didn't work because you use the wrong SKU since you have the ww/us version installed on the DE model. For the same reason I am waiting for that damn DE version. So far root on .21 is not possible since Asus changed the way it works, so you have to wait until they get it fixed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neckbonest:
yes it checks for the integrity

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shelfty:
Somebody previously said the update does make things a lot faster but you have to use it for 30 minutes or so first. So I updated then did a soft reset - prime felt, if anything, slower. However, about 30 minutes or so later browsing was noticeably faster, watching flash video sites like tv catchup is now basically entirely flawless for me. I can think of no reason why an update would magically start making your tablet faster only after you've had it for a while but it seems that way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vittogn:
This .21 update topic lasted for 3 days only!!

Folks are very quite = very good update.

Can we state that screen flickering and reboots are issues that belong to the past??? For me yes.

Give to us a better wifi + wifi/bt functioning together + a stock browser smoother experience and we'll have an almost perfect tab!!

Update went fine. Had root and had no problems updating and then use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to restore root.

One new feature is that there is now a little dot on the system bar and whit that you can lock the system bar so when for example playing games and don't want to hit home or back during gameplay.

Edit, The freezing, paus in the browser that gives the message to wait or quit is still there.. :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KOCTA:
I suspect it's something wrong with downloaded update file. Have it passed CRC check?

Where this little dot you're referring too?

I saw a little dot in the middle of the system bar when using video player but it didn't do anything significant just brought the system bar icons back (instead of being dots themselves)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
FML, I was waiting for that update in hope that it will fix browser freezes before returning unit. If my tests confirm your findings, prime no8 is going back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bulgarien:
Remember to make a soft after the update (or before...)! Nothing are going to be deleted.

There is a small hole near the SD card. ( NOT in top -that is the microphone !) Use a paperclip to be able to touch the switch inside the tablet for about 10 seconds.

Now will the new/old firmware work like a dream. ( okay - let us say much better.. :-) )

Remember that you can always make a soft reset if the tablet has some strange behavior.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dcAndroidFan:
Just installed in SC. WiFi throughput seems better than before -- I'm at work and my connection here is very weak. Previously I was averaging 700-900kbps on SpeedTest, and I just ran three consecutive tests at 1400-1600kbps (which is maxing out our connection). Anyone else getting better WiFi throughput?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] otto888:
Would integrating system app updates cause the update to fail? Is there a system dump of the last update so I can replace the updated apks?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andreas527:
Settings - Asus customized settings - system bar lock - And check enable.

Now you have a little dot in the center of system bar. Same place where the Samsung Galaxy Tab have there shortcut for there touchwiz apps
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] deevo2:
Instead of stuffing around with locking the toolbar... grab an app called gesture control and hide the whole bar and reclaim some screen real estate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] legendary1022:

Sorry to hear that mate.

Ordered a Prime yesterday evening from Amazon.co.uk about 3.30 p.m. and chose for the fastest shipping option. Now almost a full day later it says still awaiting dispatch?? Should I wait until 5 this evening and if they still have not dispatched it cancel the order? Kinda annoyed at them to be honest.....

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Larswad:
Just to make sure, did you before you updated do a "temporary restore" in rootkeeper, or did you just update as it was in the rooted state?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] martabakeju:
Yeah....i don't see it as well

No need to temp-unroot, voodoo restored root after OTA just fine.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fazerrider:
Temp unrooted with Voodoo rootkeeper, downloaded the update, installed and about 15 minutes later I was back online. Restored root and tested the tablet.

Antutu gave over 11000 point (10600 before) and my bluetooth / Wifi issue seems gone.

Before the internetspeed decreased significantly with bluetooth on. Now it is the samen with or without bluetooth. I also noticed that (under options) the battery-indicator works as it should: if gives the usage of the different kind of hardware elements and apps.

Also there is an option to prevent synchronising when the screen is turned of.

Now is there is also a solution for the random lockups (especially in the browser) and something to prevent the dock from completely draining while loading the tablet I am a very happy man with my prime....

For now: good work ASUS!!

WiFi Direct works!

Linked with My Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket (a phone in desperate need of a name shortening) no problem. Then again, the Skyrocket, just like the regular GSII Variant has "WiFi" Direct specifically, as opposed to straight Ad Hoc, though they may be one in the same, I cannot confirm. There may be some difference in the way the protocols are handled, specifically handshaking. Oh, and my Skyrocket is running the Leaked AT&T ICS Build from last week.

Tried twice to update, failed both times. Just did a factory reset, STILL won't update.
