I am on .24, rooted, Rogue recovery and I can not get the .27 update to work. Do I need to go back to stock recovery?

Correct, OTA only work with stock recovery. Look in the dev section for a flashable version

same question
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Woody:
Cold Boot will do it quite nicely. It clears that caches but really, the install already does it for you before it finishes, hence the long bootup time.

FYI, some have reported doing it before, some have done it after taking the OTA and then powering down and cold booting and some have not done it at all (like myself). All have had problems, none have had problems. <---This is the Pandora's Box.

Personally, I am as stable as can be and have no complaints. I am rooted and have used TB to freeze ALL the Asus bloat and some other things but stock ROM and Kernel are fine for me with an up-time of almost a 1000 hours before OTA updated rebooted naturally.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] _android_:
Yes, with OTA RootKeeper and got the OTA update to .27, restored root with OTA RootKeeper. Titanium Backup complained about filemod protection, follow the prompt and fixed itself.

Titanium Backup (on the market, requires root), you can freeze, uninstall, backup apps.

The firmware update direct from update will not work if you have a custom recovery installed. It will look like the update starts and then just show the exclamation mark icon. Either wait for someone to post a CWM flashable version or revert to stock recovery in order to install this update.

Need .27 stock firmware zip

Hi everyone. I live out in China and bought the TF with the Chinese Rom which is entirely pointless given that the authorities here have a personal vendetta against Google because they refused to sensor results that might actually educate the masses so the Chinese ROM is heavily modded to remove anything useful INCLUDING THE PLAYSTORE. Anyway I successfully flashed ww after I bought it. Now that .27 is out however I have yet to get the notification. I have been manually checking for the update for the last 5 days with no luck. I suspect its got to do with me being in China. Anyway since Asus haven't posted the firmware on their webiste yet i as wondering if anyone can post the stock update.zip file here for me. thanks.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Woody:
@gee one

what video player are you using?

Also, are you rooted? If so you can use SetCPU to set your governors to get that better benchmark. Asus defaults their kernel to On-Demand. You can use SetCPU to change this. I have mine to Interactive and the I/o set to Noop (although that is the only option) . When i run benchmarks I set it to performance and let it fly. I continually get 4900-5100 on Anatutu and around 2400-2600 on Quadrant. Then when i am done I flip it back to Interactive and move on with my life.

I also believe this has something to do with my stability as well. Remembering from my early phone/kernel days, I can recall having some kernels that didn't play nicely with On-Demand or some other profile and would trigger SOD. Not saying that is what is happening with all the other devices but more a general fyi.

As a rule, I hate benchmarks because they can be cheated and you can, with a few tweaks, post any score you want. But seeing the difference between yours and my scores strikes me as odd.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
Yes, I'm rooted with setcpu and on-demand. I don't benchmark very often, but I was just curious. The video player is the regular gallery. Even my alert sounds and ringtones are accellerated, which is how I noticed the issue. At some point I'll reboot and I suspect that will fix it.

I'm also using an older version of Antutu- I didn't upgrade to make sure the results would be consistent.

EDIT: I goofed on the benchmarks- I rebooted and the sound is fixed, benchmark is the same. I might be thinking of the results using .24? This is why I don't run bnechmarks very often.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Woody:
I've notice significant battery drain on .27 as well as some touch issues.

Battery is draining faster than usual doing the same things that I did on 24. Wifi seems to be the powerhog. Hoping that some charge cycles cures it and a reboot of my router.

Touch is creating problems with thumb-board and clicking on some links in the browser. I've already cleaned the screen a few times and don't use a screen protector.

Edit::: Why is there now Mobile Data and Mobile Network Configuration in /system/app? They even have Phone Icons. I don't have a tf101g so wtf are those for and why are they constantly running?

Terrible battery drai in ....27

Hi all

I got all updates excep the last (v9.2.1.27) and installed them without problems

Yesterday I got last update (v9.2.1.27) and I discover a terrible battery drain.

I realized an hot sector on the back wihe charging ad thenit got a fast battery drain.

Any suggestion? Is there a way to restore previous firmware version?

thanks

[Eee Pad Transformer General] xun3:
This is probably the best update so far.

Coming from a B40. This update has fixed the numerous issues that I've had with apps on. 24. Mainly games. I'm running stock rooted and I flashed the cwm update.

Before these apps didn't work:

-gunbros

-maxpayne

Now they do. Overall the experience is smoother, and the icons don't randomly disappear.

Thumbs up
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diablob:
After install will be any without roblems, but after one day I have problem with tegra games. Dead Trigger and ShadowGun crash very often. Picture in these games shake and games freeze.

I'm running .27 (rooted) and have tried both the stock and Guevor's 22.6 kernel. My TF has been having trouble going into deep sleep as well, but mine was spending most of its time at 216MHz. It is reporting "Android System" running constantly, plus WiFi isn't going to sleep either. There are no misbehaving installed apps as far as I can tell. I'm not sure if it is the return of the old WiFi wakelock issue that I've had on and off since HC, but the workaround seems to be the same - the Auto Airplane app is back on my TF and I have deep sleep once again. Otherwise .27 seems a lot more stable than my last stock experience (.21 I think?) although I am already missing the speed of Revolver.

I dont think I am having any serious battery problems with .27, the device was running off a fully charged internal and dock battery for a couple of days, the screen was on from 9am to 6pm, with a Bluetooth PAN and HID connection active. Think the battery meter only showed 30% battery use during those 2 days.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] misterwar:
I am most definitely having a battery drainage issue caused by the last update. My battery is draining -2%/h when the tablet is in deep sleep EVEN if I turn airplane mode on before leaving it alone. Before the update, the battery was draining at -0.2%/h. So now, I have to shut down the tablet everytime I have to leave it alone for a few hours!

I have been noticing what seems to be worse battery drain on the dock with .27 while the tablet is in deep sleep as well. But not all of the time, sometime it will deep sleep without draining quickly - can't figure it out yet - may be related to wifi signal strength (or lack thereof) - or something like that.

Although, since I really haven't seen any benefits of the .27 ROM (over .24), I may just switch back to .24 until I can get my hands on a TF700! :-) I am soooooo eager to put the TF101 behind me - it was a great product (my all-time favorite computing device), but has been a disaster since ICS....

I'm having the same issue on my B40. I had it fully charged friday with the dock. Left it sitting on the counter turned it on Monday morning, completely dead. This is the second weekend this has happened since the .27 update.

Can we go back to .24?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gkillerx:
can someone with .27 update make a full system dump ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] digitalray:
that problem cannot be solved really through rooting or any UPDATES as it is a hardware failure.

the speakers are positioned towards the center of the screen, and the right speaker got a metal plate that is reflecting the sound towards the case speaker opening.

the left side is missing this metal piece, therefore the sound is not coming out of the case speaker hole, and is rather playing towards the inside of the tablet.

when trying to change the volume of only the left speaker with system root configs, you rather destroy the speaker when turning the system volume of both speakers to 100 %, that already happened to some people.

so don't do it. send it in and let them fix it, if you can not send it in anymore, fix it yourself, open it, look at the construction of the right speaker and the metal plate and go buy a small metal piece and plug it to the left side.

Has anyone been having bluetooth issues since this update? I used to tether to my phone through bluetooth (My work phone, e71 not my android personal phone), and just click the phone in bluetooth options, bam, internet. Now unless I delete the phone from the tablet and vice versa and repair them, it'll pop up on the screen saying "blahblah connected" Then "Blahblah disconnected" straight after... Nothing else has changed, just the firmware on my tablet >_<
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
thanks for the answer!!! people like detection are assholes and so noob lmfao.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] digitalray:
i have the same problem, and i read all the threads about it in the past, people thinking that a custom firmware "fixed" it and were happy until the left speaker died.

i didn't open the tf101 myself so far, i just wrote, what i had heard back then about the hardware and it's construction.

maybe these pictures here will help you open it and maybe fix it:

http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/...=10&tag=siu-container;thumbnail-view-selector

i read another hint, to put some plastic tape above the speaker, so it won't have contact to the outer metal plate, else it get's shorted.

and i just found another possible solution that really is software related, it's not about changing the balance or volume oft the left speaker, but to alter the TrueEQ settings. read about it here.http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14589900&postcount=2

reviews about the EQ fix say "The fix has some room for improvement and can be a bit dangerous for your speakers".

nonetheless, i read about it beeing a hardware issue in the end. asus already said a year ago it's a hardware issue.

some people don't have the problem, so it can NOT be firmware related.

some people thought, the left speaker could be badly aligned or badly soldered..

i quote a post from another thread: "I've sent my unit in to ASUS for repair on this issue and they are saying the speakers are fine and the issue (as some have mentioned) is related to the case/bezel setup"

also have a look at THIS post! http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21318158&postcount=172

and watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=k-6dKsGJ4VY

another explanation i saw on the net is this: "There is a known small problem with low sound level in the left speaker. The amplifier in Asus Tranformer is very weak and therefore thicker wires to the left speaker will could make them sound louder. Remember NOT to use any heat or soldering near or on the speaker itself The ultrafine copper wire inside the speaker will smelt!. Cut the wire minimum 10-15 millimetre from the speaker input and use those as terminal, when you're soldering."

just try and report please if you find out something, better make a new thread for it.

if it really would have been a system bug, asus would have fixed it after a year now with a firmware update.

I can't even use Gmail, Maps or Calendar now without it crashing the overwhelming majority of the time.
