[Eee Pad Transformer General] ddseils:
I'm running the stock 4.0.3 ICS and have not experienced a single problem. I am not running rooted at present, mainly because other android devices I have not runinto anything I wanted to accomplish that I cannot. That could change of course, but for now, I am delighted.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] karlr30:
Don't forget that VPN L2tp Share Key is no longer working on ICS.

So if you 're going to use vpn then maybe tf101 is not an option.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverViking:
Thanks for your reply. I'll take a look when I see it tomorrow and post here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
It doesnt necessarily have to start with B followed by a number. The letter after the first indicates the month it was manufactured, going from 1-9, A-C (1 being jan, 9 sept, A oct, C dec)

the first letter tells the year it was manufactured starting at B, which means 2011.

If it starts with a C that means it was manufactured 2012.

In my case the serial starts with "C10", which means my device was manufactured jan. 2012.

Another example (just to make sure I havnt confused you too much :p), if the serial would start with "BC0", it would mean the device was manufactured dec. 2011.

So dont panic if the serial number doesnt start with a B, or is followed by numbers. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverViking:
My dad's tablet is C30 so that must be March this year.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverViking:
Updated, done factory reset.

I've plugged in the charger whilst setting the tablet but it doesn't seem to be charging.

I've plugged it in securely but it still says not charging.

Edit. Secured it a bit more and it works. Love the tablet so far.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bgl:
Mine is also a C10 and it's been nothing but trouble with the stock ICS OTA.

This thing is nowhere near close to functional i can't believe Asus would even bother. I'm shipping it back today.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Exnor:
If ive bought mine today and after FOTA to ICS the device started to give me the SoD, RR, etc.. i would return it to the store.

Curious that every TF101 ive seen on display here in Portugal are still on HC and not on ICS....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssl123:
Well, you bought yours "refurbished" - which used to mean that the factory looked over it, fixed it up and cleaned it back in the day, but today it just means "used" and "luck of the draw." Unfortunately, you got a bad refurb, and it never worked as it should. You shouldn't take that as representative of how a new functional unit works.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

The ones at Best Buy around here are updated to ICS, because Best Buys have a wireless Internet network they connect their demo systems to. This is one of the very few tablets that have ICS already, so it is a selling point. I think the only other ICS tablet I've seen at Best Buy is the Transformer Prime.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
To my knowledge, all TF101's uses the exact same hardware and components. The only difference betwee <B70 and >B70 is that they have an encrypted bootloader, which is nothing but a piece of software (unless I havnt had enough coffee yet... lol).

So the serialnumber doesnt matter in terms of stability etc.

Of course, there is always a chance a defect, or slightly defect, unit rolls of the band and end up in a customers hands.

But Im quite sure 90% of the warranty errands are, in fact, software related and not hardware though.

The issue isnt with the device itself, its sloppy coding from ASUS's side.

All we can do at this stage is wait for asus to buy some coffee for their devs so they can start fixing it :)

Although the devs around these forums seems far more competent (maybe they have more coffee?), and my bet is they will get a stable build out long before asus does.

It sucks that ASUS published ICS in such a terrible state, but thanks to the devs here things are moving along nicely.

I have an almost stable device now. I had an uptime of ~230h... Thats right... had... It decided to SOD when I was asleep tonight :p

Uh... reading through this post again... I didnt realize it became such a wall of text... Sorry Ill stop now and just drink my coffee :x
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cyberbillp:
Three tf101's in my family too. All perfect using hc, and useless after the ota update. Constant sod/rr. And no, its not apps or batch numbers. Its the pos update.

My advice; Keep them but don't update to ics. Stay away from the update for now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverViking:
It's been updated to ics since its probably better fresh than after apps are added and the first day equals no problems. Hopefully it will stay that way.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverViking:
I have a question about the youtube app already installed on the tablet.

Say you've been browsing on there and then when you have a page full of videos that you can select from, sometimes it becomes unresponsive i.e. when I try to click one of the videos it doesn't get highlighted in a blue frame and then go to that video, it acts as if nothing has been clicked.

Sometimes if you scroll up and then down then try to go click it it works but sometimes it doesn't or it takes some time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
Not everything is going to be super smooth and bug free.... not sure what you are expecting. You didn't buy a super computer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverViking:
Hmm, not an expected response.

Was wondering if it is normal as it never happens on my phone and that certainly isn't a super computer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] raduque:
My tablet is a B80, it came with 3.1. Got the OTA to 3.2, then got the OTA to 4.0 after I had already setup and customized my device. I had ONLY rooted prior to the 4.0 OTA, and re-rooted after using viperMOD (no CWM).

Had lots of SOD and very very few RRs. Finally wiped (lost root) and didn't install anything for a couple days and it was still SODing. Finally got pissed, rooted again, installed CWM and flashed FROZN. It SODed while in my truck at work on Tuesday, but that's it so far.

I think the issue is with ICS, period. Granted it's just a leak, but I'm running UCPLC5 which is 4.0.3 on my Galaxy S II, and it SODed no less than 15 times last night.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Karthanon:
I'm in the same situation as the OP...

...where I just picked up a Transformer (for my wife, combination anniversary/birthday present) yesterday - and connected it to Wifi, where it downloaded the firmware/ICS updates (although I think I have 1 more day to postpone them..). Its serial# starts w/BC0, so I imagine I can't use nvflash...

At this point, I may just go ahead and let it go forward - if it croaks, I suspect I could bring it back to Best Buy and let them know of the issues and get a replacement, and then just NOT turn on wifi until this issue is fixed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
Just..

Hate to be saying thiS but return them both. Im having multiple issues with mine. It is unrooted and stock. Youtube freezes, lag when watching videos, random reboots and sleep of death. Buy your father an ipad and show him how to use itunes. Android is good for people who need an open filesystem and acess to torrent program and flash content. For me personally its worth the problems because I need the keyboard dock and just love the freedom of android.

My two cents
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssl123:
You can always prevent the ICS update from actually installing. The update checks that you are running stock firmware and that the stock apps it checks for are there before the update is performed. I'm not exactly sure which of the preinstalled apps it looks for (could be all of them), but, if you delete one of them, the update will never go through.

There are so many ways to prevent the OTA firmware updates, the challenge really becomes the other way around: getting them to go through. :rolleyes: But, of course, I'm rooted and have had other modifications installed, so it becomes a little more difficult for me ...

I've also heard that going to your apps list in Settings and clearing cache and data for the DMClient app deletes the firmware update file if it has been downloaded but not yet installed. If you are rooted, using Droidwall to block DMClient will prevent the update from ever getting downloaded. Etc.

If you do find random reboot problems on ICS, there is possibly a solution to the problem now, according to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518552
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Karthanon:
I did a search on how to freeze OTA updates via freeze/removing DMClient.apk - however, those appeared to be if I had rooted the device already (which I have not, as it is stock). Is there a way (that I have not seen yet, apparently my google-fu is bad) to do so on a stock/unrooted TF101?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssl123:
I don't think you can stop the DMClient from working if you are not rooted. There might be ways to cause the OTA update process to fail even after DMClient has done its thing, and you can always try deleting data and cache for DMClient to see if that gets rid of anything DMClient has downloaded.

In my experience, some of the things that have caused OTA updates to NOT work for me:

1. Being rooted.

2. Having Droidwall installed and blocking DMClient.

3. Having a custom recovery.

4. Having the Chainfire 3D driver installed.

The funny thing is, since we are talking about purposely getting the update process to fail, the best places to look are threads where people are complaining about their OTA updates failing, seeing what caused the failures and then trying to replicate them. I'm sure there's a way to have an OTA update failure without root.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Karthanon:
DMclient wipe...

The DMClient wipe in Applications/manage applications/all/dmclient for the cache/data wiped out the ICS/firmware download (which was pending).

Checked w/ Settings - Firmware Update and it said "No updates available".

Of course, I'll have to do this every 2 days (or thereabouts) and tell my wife not to do the updates if prompted. I guess that's acceptable for the time being.

Thanks a bunch!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverViking:
The thing is if he used an iPad he can't watch sports online since it won't support it. Whereas on the tablet we've tested it and it's been great. His main use was for sports, but he also has started to go on youtube.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverViking:
So it's been day 2 and so far it's been okay. How long after ICS update does it normally start going funny?

The only negative thing I've seen (which I haven't ever had on my smartphone) is the screen flickering on the youtube app for some reason where the keyboard comes up. And sometimes when on a video page, but if I take HD off it greatly reduced. Probably specific to certain videos. It's not a big issue or anything as it's not the ain use of the tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
If you go to the youtube website and click "desktop" at the bottom of the page it acutally works better than the mobile site. Get "stick it" videoplayer, that enables you to watch youtube videos while browsing other sites (android exclusive ;)

in combo with overskreen browser app its an amazing experience that only android can provide! If you have any questions just ask them here and we will try to assist you any way we can

Btw download ics browser +, the default gives me some weird freezes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
There is no 'normally', its random :/.

Some gets it every day (I did on stock asus ics), some gets it rarely, some not at all.

What I think most people here will agree on though, is that the custom roms available generally holds a lot higher stability.

On custom roms my tablet never ran less than 60h before crashing, and EOS build 19 ran for ~230h before giving me a SOD (its a bit hard to say the exact uptime, as I was asleep when it happened :p).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
Why can't all people he as open minded as you? Haha.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
The ipad is an excellent device, I dont own one but I looks like a pretty sweet toy... wouldent mind picking one up for gaming!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverViking:
My tablet has finally arrived and it's the same as my dad's, a C30.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverViking:
I've checked to find the app costs £1.19. Don't really want to spend on an app yet. Have downloaded the browser app though.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] gilpdawg:
I didn't realize so many people were having problems. Mine has only had one random reboot, ever. I'm running Megatron which is CM 9 based, and I won't go back to the ASUS firmware, ever. I like the feel of AOSP better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Yeah, EOS build 19 ran for ~230h before giving me a SOD, then for ~75h before I restarted it manually, and now its been running for 66h rock solid.

Everyone that complains about reboots and are still on stock firmware - do yourself a favor, get a custom rom!

Compared to the devs around these forums, ASUS's devs looks like a bunch of amateurs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverViking:
I haven't yet had any problems with both tablets, and I hope it stays that way. Great piece of kit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mx499:
I live in nj, and i love the FD02 Modem. the 3g is always near 1 mb per sec, and upload about 600 kb. thats awesome. GPS locks real easy, and I get phone signals where I did not before. (aka work) It used to be more spoty, but now, it gets more consistent signal. only down side is that my 4g is slower than my 3g. i used to get 5 mbps, but now i get like 800 kbps. it's interesting.. slowest 4g speed i ever got at my home. but i never use 4g so i don't care. i might keep this modem for good. but i'm also going to try FD05.

how is your experience with FD02?

edit: just tried FD05, and the 3g went down to 100 kbps.. and 4g went up to 2 mbps.. but thats not that great. i'm gonna try to keep it for a day and see how it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I just got off FD02 yesterday here is my FD05:

Here are my 3g and 4g in the top. I am in newark nj. Fd05
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IAmSixNine:
While your testing try FC15 as well.

I had better battery life with FC15 then with FD02 and FD05.

I also seem to recall better data speeds with FC15 and FD02 close behind.

I got Los on fd02 modem and it's drained my battery big time. I'm on Calks v3.0.

i like fd02.. but yes you are right, the battery drain is huge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mx499:
oh i really like fc 15, i don't know about gps, but i get real good 3g. probably best i've seen it go up. 1.3 mbps. awesome! i might keep this as long as gps works ok.

Hi, anyone having this issue? I found out that my has a dead pixel that keep lighting up.

I have also experienced this, just above the WiFi indicator. However, I've only seen it with the charger plugged in for some reason.
[HTC One X] PsiAdster:
Everyone line up to feed the troll. Someone needs to do something about spam such as this. Hint.

On topic: I have searched my screen by using a fully black and fully white image, no dead pixels on mine, though there have been a fair amount of complains on here about them.

I do have some backlight bleed on the bottom right of my screen, though.
[HTC One X] salahag:
I just noticed there's a yellow spot on the bottom left corner. :( .. It shows only over white/ very light background.

Is that the backlight bleed? (I suppose it's not)
[HTC One X] vioalas:
It's probably...

It's probably some adhesive.
[HTC One X] LittleMerc:
If the pixel is blinking and still lighting and its not dead, probably because its unstable or something. Go google playstore download Pixelfixer and keep pressing on the scren to change color rapidly. The pixel will be fixed. Mine was fixed. Try it. Rmb to click the thank me button!!
[HTC One X] yongchoon:
Hi, yes the pixel keep on lights up. had tried the software mentioned, but for me the dead pixel is somewhere around the 3 dots menu bar. The app doesn't allow me to switch orientation therefore i am unable to test it out. Anymore advise ?
[HTC One X] AliasDVP:
Dead pixel...

First, losing follow apologize for my English. I have also discovered a dead pixel, but in my case, image is dark or black screen (with your cell phone on course). I applied programs if a pixel is vague, but nothing. I applied a little pressure on the screen, as is recommended in other forums and nothing.

HTC Fault. Please attach photos.

[HTC Desire S] jawadkho:
When a rom restarts say for example like a lot of the ICS roms under high graphical use can it cause any problems? I mean bricking or hardware problems or is it just a minor annoyance?

Otherwise it doesn't matter to me when a rom restarts.

Thanks :o
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I'm pretty sure it does not cause any further problems. But it's really annoying when you want to use your phone but it keeps restarting or freezing all the time. As soon as kernel 3.0 is released all issues like that will be sorted out.

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] jawadkho:
Thanks. Kernel 3.0 hmm I doubt it'll be coming anytime soon, will it?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Really don't know. I think it will come this year, maybe within the next months. But if you don't need a fully working camera and can life (/live??? I never know the right one :-P) with some reboots and freezes, you can use sense 4.0 by prox or some of the aosp ics roms right now.

since I need camera and a stable ROM for everyday use, I will stick to endy until kernel 3.0 is there.

Really love good old(^^) sense 3.5, but ics brings some really cool improvements I don't want to miss too :-)

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] jawadkho:
Well I'm using IColdS 7.1 and its great. I was thinking about going back to Endy (which is a great rom!) but I think for now I can live* without the camera ;)

One more thing does the Vol Up + Vol Down + Power combo work every time for a freeze?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
OK, live, thanks :-)

No, sadly it doesn't. I'm trying every time to reboot my phone but it does not work. Its said that you'll have to wait until the battery drains out (which can last long if you want it to drain). But fortunately on 7.1 I never had to wait that long, the phone rebooted automatically after about 30 minutes. I do NEVER pull the battery while the phone is on, you should not do too.

ps: if you are not using it already, try apex launcher on ics 7.1

Really great

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Oops, wrong button..
[HTC Desire S] jawadkho:
Ah that's too bad :( well if I get too many freezes then I'll have to goto Endy for a while and yh I'll try apex see how it goes. Thanks again!
[HTC One X] kovla:
So I overslept today - no alarm. And it turned out that my new ONE X doesn't want to sound the alarm, when it is in flight (airplane) mode. This is the case not only with the stock alarm, but also with a couple of other alarm apps I've tried.

I prefer to go flight mode during the night, to make sure there are no random messages through any medium whatsoever. The option "also in silent mode" is ticked on, if this is of any consequence.

Is there anything one can do?
[HTC One X] kovla:
Also, alarm in the silent mode (even if the corresponding option is checked) doesn't produce sounds, only vibration. This is lame.
