I had trouble getting it to download but it finally started working after several reboots.

Still settling in but no reboots so far (I had major issues after the ICS update) and I was able to actually load a heavy web page while loading updates from the Google play store with no ANRs.

Butter is living up to its name (works as smooth as my Nexus 7) and Google Now is there and working
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nmeurett:
So just have a couple quick questions?

The JB update is active in the USA correct?

Also my Prime is running super slow do you think it a good idea to reset to factory settings before doing the JB update?

Thanks for any help in advance!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dorob002:
failed download?

I'm completely stock and my update was actually automatically downloading when it got stuck. So I rebooted, and now I keep getting the "error downloading file" message. Anyone know if there is a partial download that should be deleted to allow a clean copy to come in? And where I would find this file...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Quick impression:

1. SQlite performance - It improved... after two cold boots.. the numbers range from 82 to 85 sec overall. It used to be 140+ in ICS.. so, it is significant improvement but it still falls short compared to many other device. Atm, it is tolerable

2. I/O benchmark - eh... BLEH overall. It is about the same, especially the random seq. writing...

3. Asus weather widget - buggy... for example, can't switch to F from C...

I'll post more later. It is slightly more laggy compared to ICS atm..

Edit: Google Now is actually performing well. Btw, if you had crap WIF and etc (many other h/w problems in the past)... nothing will change. It will still be crap... as mine is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] st33med:
Thanks, that wasn't the big improvement I was expecting, but it is something. Also, let it settle for about 30 minutes while on and try the tests again.

Also, about the widget, you have to press the button to exit and save in settings. Don't press the back button.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Works fine here. Just clicked the weather widget, changed c to f then hit save in the bottom right and it changed instantly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I can personally care less about benchmarks. What's the deal with ANRs and lagging/freezing, specifically when web browsing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
That's difficult to answer after such short period.... need to test it out at least full day or two to make a comment about browsing exp.

As for lagging/freezing... Project butter, as far as I can tell.. did smooth things out with v-sync. However, it is not quicker, speedier.. or snappier.. all it did was "smooth" things out for less hiccups/freeze. If anything, due to project butter (v-sync) taxing the RAM even further... it slowed it down a bit but it smoothed out the overall performance.

Edit: Btw, I'm trying to figure out/test if they took away screen tear...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
Is the problem with the voices being out of sync while watching a movie on bluetooth fixed?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Well, this is going to be bummer....

After more cold boots....

My SQLite performance & AndroBench performance is getting worse and worse.

For example, SQLite after initial update was ranging from 82-85 sec overall.... Now, I am consistently getting 100 sec overall...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moist:
I care because i personally don't enjoy waiting an hour for titanium backup to finish restoring apps. Personal preference I guess.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
So I was able to manually edit my build.prop back to stock after comparing it to a co-workers stock build prop. YAY! Updated and restored root using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper successfully. A few things after playing with it for a while.

1. IF you have EZ Overclock... REMOVE it before you install and restore root. Otherwise you have to fiddle and do it before it starts and reboots the system. Otherwise no biggie.

2. Performance is visually smoother. Haven't experienced any ANRs yet.

3. Quadrant is all over the damned place. Highest was 4012 lowest 3290 both done back to back in performance mode after the third cold boot completed.

4. Chrome is no smoother or better now than it was on ICS. Ugh... Stock browser and Opera are still the go to browsers.

Now wondering if the build.prop tweaks for ICS will have any impact on JB seeing that they are nearly identical. Would have been nice if they had not messed with the kernel speed steps and left the 1.6 Ghz slot present to allow for EZ Overclock to work. So far so good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
That's correct. The problems with WIFI and other performance metrics are not, and will not be addressed for the 201.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
Using RL Benchmark SQLite Performance I have been consistently scoring between 88 and 91. This is after multiple cold boots as well so I can't reproduce your issue. Although Quadrant, from my other post, is all over the place. Not that Quadrant is the end all be all but it has some wild swings when running the benchmark.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
Thanks shinzz for the SQlite numbers!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Yea, it's odd.

I started off at 82-85 consistently...

As my tablet settles & few more cold boots... the scores are getting worse and worse. Now I'm hitting 100 to 110 consistently. Btw, 88 to 91 is horrible score to begin with...

Edit: Btw, atm... I can't seem to replicate the Screen Tear as before.... So, at least this is a good news... so far. We'll see if it stays that way...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
Grand... so a couple of more cold boots and I let the tablet sit as you mentioned... sure as ****. Consistent scores of 100 - 110 every 9 out of 10 runs with an occasional 88 - 91 as originally stated. It has definitely slowed after sitting and the fluke 88 - 91 score is completely random and does not happen on run X. In any case I can replicate what shinzz is seeing on his with SQLite performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
I/O performance... it is more or less, the same as before (the #s are piss poor... SQLite & Androbench... as the tablet settles, returns to absolutely garbage #s).

Browsing exp. (really early) but.. well... since I/O performance is still garbage... it isn't that great either. I haven't seen any ANR but it is def. sluggish (ICS+, Browser or Chrome). Chrome seems to have gotten worse of the 3 browsers I use... I notice far more clipping....

Think of it this way. JB update replaced WIFI Direct (never worked for me to begin with) with Google now..

Everything else... more or less, performs the same (although, I haven't seen any screen tear or menu bar tilting up & down yet).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
Noticed the same with Chrome being crud. Although seeing that I/O is still the issue I am wondering if the build.prop tweaks that helped I/O in ICS would apply to JB? Those differences were definitely noticeable under ICS and would be pretty darn cool if we could just bring them right on over and re-test.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Stephenst4470:
Charging not working

I upgraded mine about an hour ago and now it dosn't seem to be charging. It doesn't show that the charger is hooked up at all.

I am at work and have another charger at home so I will try that, but I am pretty sure this charger is good, as I just used it yesterday.

Can anyone else verify if their charging is working after the update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Are you rooted by any chance? If so, can you download No-Frills CPU?

Change the min. CPU freq to 370mhz... & to Noop instead of CFQ.

Test Andro & SQLite afterwards...

See if it improves. Noop seems to perform slightly better over CFQ atm for me...

Although #s range from 80 to 90 sec (beats 100+).

Edit: Nvm, even this is returning back to garbage #s as it settles....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
So far so good but I really didn't have any problems on ICS. It didn't fix my green camera problem though. I'll have to RMA. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pennhaven:
In addition to losing root despite running Rootkeeper, I've already seen an ANR with Firefox beta. No ANRs with Chrome so far, but browsing is still quite laggy with either browser. It may be slightly better than with .28, but still nowhere near as good as I experience with my Windows machines on the same LAN.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Stephenst4470:
Charger OK

OK, went home at lunch and grabbed my other charger, it is working fine. Apparently one of my chargers died. This update also fixed the HDCP issue with Google Play movies not streaming over HDMI. They are streaming fine now. Everything seems to be working smooth now, including the docking station.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

The green camera issue is hardware, I had to RMA mine for this and they replaced the camera module to correct.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ranwanimator:
It's looking better and better for me. Everything seems super smooth. I did not lose root thanks to Voodoo Rootkeeper. Also the wavy line issue while drawing seems to have been addressed. It's not perfect as drawing slowly still produces waviness, but when quickly sketching lines seem to be nice and straight when drawing diagonally. Happy camper here!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Liferules:
Really weird...I had the screen lock with the padlock that you can pull in different directions to open different applications right after the update and now its gone and I can't figure out how to get it back. Any ideas? TIA
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrCapcom:
so whats the best way to erase everything off stock? Cold Boot then Factory Reset?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Owendavies:
Any of you guys from UK? I've been hitting the check firmware button and there's no update :(

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gabriel_hart:
Thanks, that's great news! HDCP problems with Google Play movies was one of my few gripes about the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
ok, i/o scores dont seem to be improved much, but dont focus on the benches too much!

ok on ics they were good tools to explain some of the slugginess, but jellybean might be a different story.

what happened with:

- browser lockups and ANR messages?

- lockups while updating apps?

and non i/o related:

- screen tearing?

- games crashing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Same thing here. Upon first boot, I could drag up to access Google Now. Now, it's gone. Asus. Persistent Perfection.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
Haven't tried any heavy gaming but ANRs during browsing have disappeared for me. Screen tearing is gone as well. The lockups while updating apps aren't gone but not as prevalent and I do believe that this also has to do with, although not solely because, the system I/O being horrible. I would like to see what happens when some of the devs dig through this and see what can be done with the build.prop. I would also like to see if V6 Supercharger would be a viable option as well or ATP Tweak. Time will tell.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
Damn, on my Infinity I get SQL scores of between 63 and 77 seconds in performance mode, and thats without a fresh reboot, and am stock ICS with no tweaks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:
Some games run at lower fps now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Liferules:
I've had 3 spontaneous reboots since the upgrade. Will cold start and monitor. No app freezes, though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tshoulihane:
I have CM10 on my phone, the settings for lock screen are somwehere in the main settings menu..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] georgiejr:
I am having the same problem and even tried to cold boot but nothing happened, still saying there is no update.

Help please
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
It appears hardware issue. It should be fixed by RMA I think.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sorceror171:
If I let the screen go blank for power-save while the browser's up, it seems to lock up the Prime. Hitting the power buttone triggers a reboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Liferules:
Thanks. I found the lock screen options, but can't find the part about "shortcuts on lock screen"...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whatlobster:
Can one of you check if subtitles are displaying through hdmi in hardware mode? Thanks!

I've been trying to update my prime for the past hour OTA to jb, but everytime I try it says download failed or can't connect to internet, but my internet works fine...please help me anyone if ur experiencing the same problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spamidi:
same issue for me .. I remember seeing this when I upgraded from Honeycomb to ICS .. I will try after 24 hours .. just have to wait ..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Liferules:
I can't remember which program, but you can clear the cache of the asus download program in your apps menu and it should fix...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
DMClient is the name.

I have to disagree with a few people here. After the update, my prime is finally acting like it boils! Browser ANRs are gone, asphalt 7 played with no lag or issues, Google play store installs are almost as fast as on my HTC one x and the table is FLYING compared to before.

I hard reset before updating and just installed busybox root ota root keeper and ES file explore before updating. Afterwards I restored apps via TiBu. Only issue I have is that the stock Google keyboard doesn't pick up my typing anymore because its too slow. Thumb keyboard I the next fastest but not as good as the ICS keyboard we for me.

Minus being unable to unlock, I am finally one happy asus customer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Beautyspin:
I got my update yesterday and things are looking smooth. I still am not seeing any actionable notifications. I am seeing expanded notifications but nothing actionable. Can somebody Pls. confirm if they are there in this update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] astrodomine:
pretty much the same as above, although I do notice that WiFi signal is stronger than before and no error for media provider crashing at every boot.

Sent from my Transformer Prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sr89194:
Same here. Failed, says check Internet connection. I'm chalking it up to busy servers at this point.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theledman:
Ditto. On screen keyboard pretty much sucks now. Trackpad mouse on the screen also looks like it's at a lower framerate than before and just a tad laggier.

Other than that, it's great.

--edit

anyone else experience fairly regular delays in registering touch? i thought it was just limited to my onscreen keyboard but i find that scrolling through things...once every minute or so, there's a 2-3 second lag between dragging my finger and screen content actually moving. it's really annoying. I factory reset the tablet and it's still doing it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digitalman88:
Yeap, firmware updater said "cannot connect to internet." hopefully, it is due to server overload.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] applesuckz:
I highly doubt its server overload. My update failed last night with a dead android guy. Today whole day I didnot find an update.Now internet connection is the problem. How much more? Before when a firmware was released, there was none of these issues. There are probably like few thousand primes sold worldwide? and a lot of them already updated to JB. Its not server overload, its asus being a POS corporation that can't even deliver a proper OTA
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ironlion45:
Looking at all the people who didn't have issues, It sounds more like EBKaF.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
I got several error messages, then I cleared the cashe on dmclient and it updated immediately. have you tried that?

what is ebkaf?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Stephenst4470:
It only has the Google unlock in landscape, it is missing in portrait. Not sure why.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] st33med:
I played around a bit on my stepfather's tablet which is stock and I updated. I played around with Google Maps and it is a lot smoother. No more freezes and ANR. Much much smoother, not perfect, but better.

And I must say... I miss stock. Honestly, I like how ASUS designed the entire UI to be near bone stock but with different icons and other things. And stock is much more stable than any JB ROM.

Where iz mai stock romz. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thenrz:
Got stuck in a home screen boot loop after update and root restore with voodoo... would see home for 5 or 10 seconds,locked up, reboot. Ended up having to wipe with vol down. Lost root now, but honestly... the tab feels like it should have on day 1 ics.

Stock browser is actually usable

No more funky town status bar

Seems more responsive, but thats a butt dyno equivalent

In for a root exploit. $5 donation at the ready! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] applesuckz:
I tried 5 factory resets, numerous reboots and clearing dmclient. I have so much respect for the devs as they are trying so hard to make this work.

MOD EDIT :edited for langusge
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
I have updated the OP with possibly useful links to address the OTA upgrade issue which will hope fully less pain for all of us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nandolv:
Hi!! Any experience with game crashing or freeze???

Thanks!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chillaxx:
would like to know this as well. I've not unlocked and waited for Jelly Bean to solve the high end games not crashing. Do they still crash?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dandmcd:
I've been using it extensively since updating...

ANR's seem to be a thing of the past for me in Google Chrome. Still can be sluggish while browsing, but at least it doesn't stop responding.

All games I have played have worked, haven't run into new issues with any games.

Only app that has given me crashes since updating is Repli2Go PDF software.

Google Now sucks for those of us living in China. Such a shame I can't do much with it here. The new Google voice search though is wonderful. I asked for the nearest coffee shop and it wasted no time giving me a map with nearby shops. Also, it worked without pause to give me the next Bears game and gametime in Chinese time.

Notification Bar sometimes does not open when pressed.

JB lock screen came up once, but since then has vanished.

Press Reader is still there, when it was supposed to be gone.

Overall, Project Butter makes it feel smoother and faster, I like the update a lot, and with the browser showing better response time, I'm quite happy with the improvements made under the hood.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nandolv:
Thanks!!! Now i'm waiting for go home to update!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
Quick first impressions of the update (I did factory reset after updating):

- Boots faster

- Default browser maybe a bit smoother, but loads pages quicker

- Overall smoothness seems to have improved

Benchmarks (I ran both twice):

I dont remember my previous Quadrant scores but RL Benchmark has definitely improved, it was 140-170 seconds before the update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Linux4kix:
Wifi improvements

Just ran speedtest on my newly upgraded tf201 and am seeing wireless throughput of 20Mb/s. Normally my transformer prime in the same conditions would top out at about 12Mb/s.

The touchpad also seems to be less sensitive when docked. I am not getting all sorts of random touches that would force me to disable the touchpad previously.

My RL Benchmark with WW JB stock is 71.17!

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

and Benchmark came in at 3594

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

Benchmark jumps to 3788 on second attempt with performance setting rather than normal
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] steveaitch:
This release is much, much nicer.

Still a bit too early to give a definitive thumbs up, but so far none of the screen flickering or occasional interference patterns down the left that .28 used to do sometimes. Tried a bunch of 2D and 3D games in a row and not had to reboot to get a game to start either. Just one (Siege Hero) that won't start at all.

Wifi does seem more stable and getting 25Mbps speeds at a distance from the router which used to give more like 12. Number of bars on the wifi seems to vary a lot - went down to 1 when it wasn't being used then up to 4 for active downloads.

Press Reader was still installed after the update - maybe because I'd updated it before?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
and second attempt with performance setting rather than normal - My RL Benchmark with WW JB stock is 68.015
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phroco:
In the UK, downloaded and updated with no issues. Don't notice a huge amount of difference really, other than the notifications are in a larger font (I preferred the ICS ones).

The major annoyance so far is that I use the TFP with the keyboard almost exclusively and lock and unlock frequently with the keyboard button. Now, with JB, it locks it, but won't unlock with it so I have to go fumbling round the side for the tiny panel button. The option in ASUS Customised Settings does not seem to make any difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mirox3m:
Somebody mentioned receiveng a Dock OTA update few hours after the JB OTA. Might fix it?!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JeffTech:
Tapping edge of home screen doesn't turn to next home screen.

Overall I'm happy with the JB update. Install took a while, and after several reboots, everything running smoothly!

Sometimes after using the Prime for a while, this minor bug occurs:

Tap the edge of the home screen doesn't flip to the next home screen (landscape orientation, of course).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
The MobileDock Battery saving mode being unticked does not allow this for you?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:
I had to perform a hard reset after the update before this option would work for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phroco:
I've done a cold boot (which I thought was the same thing) and it doesn't make any difference, it still isn't working.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Alright.. after a day of playing around with JB on Prime...

1. Overall FPS of the tablet has decreased (yes, it means it slowed down) but overall performance has "smoothed" out. Stable FPS throughout & less hiccups..

FPS on games have def. decreased tremendously.....

ICS is snappier but you notice far more hiccups due to FPS being all over the place.

2. Browsing - No ANR but browsing exp. in general is piss poor in general. Browsers are slow (or don't work at all like ICS Browser+) with more clipping & some flash sites just don't perform like before....

I/O performance is piss poor like before... great initial benchmark at start but once it settles, it returns to absolutely piss poor # & performance.

3. I haven't noticed any screen tear or screen tilting yet!

4. Battery life during heavy use is extremely poor compared to before. Is it due to project butter & taxing the RAM even further.. probably...

This is an improvement over last f/w update.... just because of screen tear/tilting not appearing yet (can't conclude it is gone for good yet). I haven't seen any apps/games force close nor ANR on browsing... thus, again.. improvement. However, actual performance of each games/apps did not actually improve.... it just doesn't force close. Overall, minor improvement........ so far...
