[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
This update made it worse. After the update the tablet light wont turn on when charging, and the battery meter is at 0%, and at the lock screen it says to connect the tablet to the charger. I have done soft/hard and even factory reset. The tablet is still running at max performance and the ips all the way up even when the the tablet is saying it has no charge.

P.S. And squeezing 2 inch on the top right does improve the wifi.. but afraid it might crack the screen after prolonged pressure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Subintro:
The update did make my prime slightly faster, but now my battery lasts for about 4 or 5 hours then suddenly drains.

I've just done a factory reset, so there is no battery chart to post to show you guys. The reset might have fixed it, i'll see and post later.

I'm absolutely fed up with my prime, I want a different tablet now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
Oh, same experience here. Battery seems to be great until 50%, the last 50% are then drained in less than an hour. I did factory reset and 30sec reset button. Situation remains the same. I am also very much fed up with ASUS and I will certainly never ever buy someting from them again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CharliesTheMan:
That seems to be a reporting/calibration issue. I would try doing some bump charging and then running about four complete cycles through it uninterrupted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Subintro:
All I wanted was a working tablet which suited my needs.

I feel more like a tester for a prototype than an actual customer of a finished product.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TurboWolf:
testing

I've had my prime for about two weeks, updated it to the .28 update. Not a issue with it at all.

From my understanding I'm lucky to not have issues with it.

I admit I'm not pleased with the "My Library" app but I figure thats only 1 thing out of the entire tablet.

I've also used the dock for my tablet as well and again seems to work pretty well.

I did however try the wifi before the update and it did seem somewhat slow, however after I updated, it seemed flawless for speed and surfing.

Got massive battery drain here too ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
5 hours in balanced mode, screen brightness at about 40% playing not even thd games, blah!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
I am also on DE firmware. Would be intrested to know if others on that firmware, also see bad battery performance from .21 onwards.

It is really a joke. They take 2 weeks to rollout the DE firmware to do what? Probably the same as in the RMA process in Europe where my prime enjoyed 3 month of waiting at the service partner.

Btw: new battery calibration helped to get the status right, but no changes in batt life itself...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mmilestone:
Adios asus !

3 weeks after the update, despite best efforts to make it work and run as it should, and initial good review, my TFP runs like junk.

ANRs have reappeared, constant SODs(3 within the last 30 minutes) and reboots(2 within the hour), laggy browser again, and sometimes unresponsive screen make this the worst device in this 6 tablet household. This is worse than .21. Right now my TF 101 runs better than this.

It's a pain to use now - if one ever can use it. Give it 5 minutes(or less) and you start running into multiple issues.

If I could charge ASUS for the time spent and lost just to get this POS working as it should, Obama would be taxing me heavily next year.

THAT'S IT. I'm unlocking this. I know that this would take ASUS off the hook but Asus can also take me off their client list - and as one who gets to decide what equipment and devices of more than a couple Houston-based(yeah, big oil) multinational companies needs - I know it would make a dent no matter if they consider it small.

After being an Asus customer for 7 years, ADIOS, ASUS! This is the last product I'll buy from you and you can kiss my A** to infinity.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paul8472:
As you can see, I don't often feel compelled to post but I've owned the TF201 since day one in the UK. My Prime wasn't initially plagued by the issues that affected others but since the 28 update is has been borderline unusable. Constant ANRs in the browser, Launcher frequently crashes, Gmail and Maps are also extremely temperamental.

So, what to do.... One of the reasons I love Android is the ability to root but the fight I'd have with ASUS if I ever subsequently wanted to return it puts me off. BTW, despite what ASUS say, if it was a hardware failure, the fact that you've unlocked a bootloader wouldn't prevent you from RMAing. You can't opt out of your statutory rights! Anyway.... I'd have a fight.

I've decided to wait to see where CM9 development ends up and then make a decision. I just wanted to express my position here in the vain hope that ASUS start to listen to their pissed off customers!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Subintro:
I think they've listened to our problems and fixed them in a new tablet called the Infinity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 145ty:
Really unhappy with all updates so far. Browser still lags - only one that works decent is Opera Mobile and even that messes up quite a bit. The whole tablet feels sluggish and messy imo.

The Wifi is really killing me and its a C30KAS model. My Galaxy S2 and other tablets in the house do much much better.

Horrible experience with ASUS on the Tablet side so far. I've had nothing but good things to say about them (I use their motherboards, graphic cards etc.,).

I even been trying to sell this with no luck as most people know of the issues like WiFi with this tablet.

I've recently sent off an e-mail requesting a refund for it to Gary Key and to the Asus website. I've stuck with this tablet since late March hoping they would fix it with software updates --but I don't see that ever happening and I've had enough.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fizzerr:
This tablet is absolute rubbish. This thing lags like a bi*ch and is totally unusable in my opinion. How this thing got past Asus quality assurance is incredible. Asus needs to ban all drugs in the workplace NOW because the only reason this thing could be so bad is that Asus employees were smoking crack instead of doing their job. This is the last Asus product I will ever buy. It's disappointing because this company actually produces ok laptops but I will never support this company again for releasing a product they knew was crap but took our money regardless.

We can only hope prospective purchasers of the Prime read these posts and stay far away.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wernerzero:
I just realized today that I've owned a Prime for about 3 months now and I really haven't used it for what I intended to do.

That is chill surfing on the couch, reading pdfs and feeds otg or in bed, notetaking and so on.

Instead I've been tweaking and installing all the time, trying to get it working as smooth and stable as it can... :silly:

Hope that with AW2.1 and some other tweaks I'm finally there or close.

Just have to get a new screen for this one and the other Prime back from RMA... :p

In the future ASUS (and others alike) might just give as a box of components and a few coding guidebooks and tell us to build the damn things ourselves... :rolleyes:

How to update?

2-3 weeks ago, I got a notification about a system update.... Tryed update, but it failed for some reason....

Since that, no update has appered and even in /About/Check for update, it says there is NO update available.....

Im running WW .21 , rooted and LOCKED......

I also tryed to unroot and check again, but same......

Any idea how to update without have to unlock?

Thanks

Erik

PS: Sorry if a little off-topic....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SgtBigSmoke:
The best way to do this is to NOT DO THIS!! The chances of completely <****ing> up a kind of usable tablet into a photo frame are just too high. I had nearly no issues with .21, little laggy browser and some ANRs.. since .28, EVERY 3D app from games to Google maps, to even Skype crashes an instant after loading it. I'm pissed and will NEVER buy from ASUS again after seeing now much they care for us, aside from a few dedicated people like Gary Key..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paul8472:
Is there way of amending my poll vote!? I voted that there was no change (which there wasn't to start with) but I want to change to much worse now! I feel like the poll is giving the wrong impression.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
Agreed, I would like to change my vote too.

It would be interesting to do a re-vote now that people have had time to live with the update for a while. I know my opinion of it has done a complete 180 turn.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nickedynick:
Start a new poll then.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
Don't know how to... never done it.

Shame, that's all I use mine for. Never had any hardware or software issues. But the atp always bites you somewhere - LCD mura. :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jrkart99:
End of my review... After a month, I have determined that the update was only a little better. I finally said screw it, unlocked and installed Androwook. Can't believe I waited so long, this is a thousand times better. So much better. I recommend that the community follow mrwookie, he apparently knows the way better than Asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MiscBec:
Is there a way to force the tablet to recognize there is an update on the card? It worked fine about a week ago when I tried it- it showed the triangle and I could initiate the install. I had been on .28 already, but it still worked. I can't get it to do it again though- and I want to because I wasn't able to boot into recovery and wipe my data at the time, so I want to do it again to get to the fully clean install point. I have noticed some improvements since I did it, so I'm interested to see if I can get additional gain by wiping everything. I've tried reformatting the microSD card and extracting the update again, but the prime still won't show the triangle when I insert it. Is there any other way to launch it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
agreed... My prime is junk now. I don't even like using it now. I had no problems before update and actually enjoyed using it. Constant screen tearing and lag has ruined it. I wish I could go back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SalsaForte:
I got some bugs with .28 too. But more than a week ago I factory reseted my tablet. And I haven't encountered any "service-effecting" bugs since then.

I reinstalled most of my apps, I put back my 2 widgets (Gmail, Calendar) and I haven't reinstalled the ton of games I had and I barely used. My uptime was more than 180 hours when I rebooted it yesterday.

I encounter some graphic glitches, some UI lag but nothing to worry about, but each person use a tablet diffently. I will soon receive my Nexus 7 and I'll probably find my TF201 a lot less interesting. Will see...

And I hope Asus will push JB to their Transformer tablets soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paul8472:
I finally gave up waiting, unlocked, rooted and flashed the latest CM nightly. Tablet is now twice as responsivie as it ever was with the best Asus firmware and infinitely better than 28. Highly recommended.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Subintro:
Okay, so I've actually just noticed how bad the wifi is.

Not sure if its the .28 update or just the prime... Anyway..

I usually have the router in my room, so its usually full bars or missing 1 at times, but I got a new ISP and they told me it'll be faster to have my router next to the main telephone socket, so I moved it there which is just down the stairs from my room, I'd say about 2 walls, its really not that far, my HTC desire gets half bars yet my prime struggles even getting a connection with it.

What the actual ****? Even worse is in September I'm moving into a new bigger house where the router will be 1 floor and 2 walls away. A friend who sometimes comes over has a laptop that has full bars no matter where she is in the house and the router has two antennas :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] urself25:
After a month of using .28, I can affirm it's the lamest build ever. It's sluggish, unresponsive and also, My screen flickers in some apps since I installed it. I never had any major problems with the previous version but this one i hate.

ezoverclock app works fine on this build. use cpu spy to confirm you hitting 1.6.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cernunnoz:
Downloaded the firmware, and rebooted. Less than 30 seconds of using the stock browser I got an ANR. Wifi might be a bit better, but still a lot worse than the TF101. I really wish Samsung makes a tablet with a keyboard like this, pretty much the only reason I am buying these things... Used to be a huge Asus fan.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
Browser feels a lot faster. Still I got an ANR but I think this time it is due to i/o problems as the there's tons of little pictures on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cenonmin:
Updated but had to fix root

Updated to .28 but after restoring root I had to fix it using Titanium Backup.

After update, TB said that some of the permissions was not correct and offered to fix it. Initially I did not and I noticed that EZ Overclock was not working. I also use AutoStarts and that failed too.

I then allowed TB to fix the permissions and now SU is working normal. Will try out new firmware the next few days and see how it goes and report back.

I normally get micro-lags after a couple of days so will see...

Wifi seems stronger for me and I have not gotten ANR yet in browser even after going to several sites in the previous posts.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
another quick update since last night:

battery life: yea, def. improved. it returned to its previous battery life.....

Browsers: stock browser... haven't had any ANR but it def. freezes & hangs up much more frequently. it is also very sluggish

dolphin HD & ICS+ browser... yup, still seeing ANR as frequently as before... works about the same

chrome beta... well, now this browser has significantly improved for me. good enough for me to actually consider browsing with Transformer Prime.... still getting ANR though, but not as frequently as Dolphin or ICS+ browser

WIFI: yup, still garbage..... WIFI + Bluetooth... yup, still garbage

GPS: worthless without GPS dongle... with GPS dongle, works about the same as before with about the same battery life... as in ... not that good

Games: Haven't tested this feature yet....

Playstore & I/O issue: yup.... no improvement

camera: haven't tested yet

face lock + WIFI direct: both work.... WIFI direct.. sort of...

general conclusion: battery life has returned to normal.... but...that's about it. with this latest update... now my Prime's display is acting funny here & there.... getting all fuzzy on the left side from app to app.... this is an issue i haven't had before. sigh....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bulgarien:
It seems that some peoble still observe problems (edit: BIG problems - my self included..) after the update. Still screen flickering, browser wait and wait. My old smartphones are smoother, faster and more then this ultimate "High End "device

But please remember to make a soft reset, BEFORE you judge the new software.

Use a paperclip in the pinhole near the SD card slot. A long on/off touch will not clear the memory as it should ... A soft reset will not delete your data, so there are no risk.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zephyrot:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crystalstylez:
So far this update is really smooth for me. Also running great on my wife's prime. I'm not sure about some of the other votes here though lol. I don't see how this update can make things worst than what they are. It was pretty bad on 21.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
Maybe we should organize this thread better with the complaints. I'd like to know which version you have (c1, c2, c3, c4), root/no-root. How much free space, and which launcher you're using.

For example me:

C3

No Root

14.10 GB free

Stock launcher

I have no ANRs with Chrome, I don't use the stock browser unless I need flash for some reason. I think Chrome is faster. Games are all running nicely, I haven't had any errors or FCs. No errors installing apps from Google Play. GPS works about as well as everyone else says. I can't tell a difference with Wifi as my apartment is quite small and I have no real way to test it. So far, it's at least as good as my HTC Desire. I'm very happy with this device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flhthemi:
NO improvemets here AND the Asus Task Manager widget now appears blank from the 3rd app shown down to the bottom of the widget (See Attached Photo)?? WTF? So if that's not displaying right what else is not going to look right?

A couple of games are no longer working

WiFi - same

GPS - same

ANR when browsing - Yup

Still hating the BT audio lag too!

Thanks Asus! :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stantang:
Been using it for two hours, already had two restarts, one happened when in idle... browser feel faster though, other than that can see any other improvement :rolleyes:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
Still on DE 21, anybody tested WiFi/BT and see some improvements?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
Hey bimbobo,

you just mentioned 10 times, that you still haven't received the update. Thats a big improvement over the old update threads. Are you finally getting used to the fact that DE update usully comes two weeks later :D

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jamesey10:
I've never rooted or unlocked the bootloader....I installed .28 last night.

youtube/flash vids - on prior firmwares, many embedded streaming videos I'd try to play, or trying to use the youtube app would result in a device freeze and reboot. I could not reproduce this error in .28 after an hour of exclusively browsing sites and using youtube.

face unlock - I've heard a lot of people having problems with this, but it works incredibly well for me. I set it up with a lot of light, and when it's time to unlock my screen, I'm recognized by the device very quickly. It feels like I'm in the future.

Stock Browser ANR - on prior firmwares, I could expect a "wait" message at least once every 15 minutes of browsing, and usually more often than that. After 2 hours of browsing, I've only had that happen once. Version .28 has definitely improved that for me.

General snappiness - My prime was always quick, but things like opening apps and scrolling through my app list seems to happen a little faster now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Has anyone noticed the status bar tilting up and down? And yes, this is even with soft reboot....

uggh... im slowly seeing more issues crop up with .28.

battery life = back to normal

everything else = the same (although, less ANR on brower)

issues = small things are popping up that i didn't see before....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmikeb92:
I had one sleep of death after charging all night... Hopefully after a soft reset all will be well. Trying to be optimistic about all of this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shadowlore:
Certainly can. Of course, that's assuming you don't do a wipe and start over once you update (some people are claiming that's fixed more issues for them).

Mines been running perfect since the update, but to be fair.. I never had a whole lot of problems with it prior, either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ksharp4444:
Still running very smooth. I can increase performance by limiting firmware to four tasks in developers section. One app that just would show all the problems that one could experience was Stumble Upon. It shows a lot of improvement, but still needs a little more. For my Prime, the Stock Browser may run better the the three others that I use. That was not what I would have said last week! Want to thank Asus and all the great testers who help make this update work at least for me and some others.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MXR2:
for my case, this update fixes the device lag/sluggish/hang when running updates via playstore! good stuff! nice job Team ASUS! Abt time
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] budtz:
Upgraded and did the cold boot. Started up the stock browser and loaded up a site. Anr. I've had it. I'm writing off this purchase. I don't have the heart to sell it to some poor bastard.

Edit: factory reset didn't help.

Edit: MRCANNADY's suggestion didn't help. I still get ANR's (although it does improve overall performace).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
Yeah, I still have it also. It's actually doing it more often now too with staright up stock browser.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
If you are still having ANR issues, please try my fix in this thread until Asus can come up with a solution. I believe the .29 update should finally address the ANR issues. So far, I have not seen any users of my thread having any ANR issues after following the directions listed.
