When is Asus going to pull its thumb out of its @ss and fix the bugs in their miserable ICS update for the original Transformer (TF101)?

Seriously, it's been over a month now with reboot loops, sound failing, touch not working correctly, worse battery time, random lockups...

Well, they just pushed an update a day or two ago, so try checking for the update?

Frankly, that's a load of problems that I don't believe the majority of TF101 owners are having. Mine would occasionally get stuck in a reboot after leaving it idle for a while, but that seems to have stopped with the latest update. Might want to check your hardware spec, or try a complete (hard/data) reset.

Nope. I've checked and rechecked. Where is this update?

Hmm. These threads on r/asustransformer describe the update I'm talking about:

Maybe there's a place you can download it from online? It should be pushed to your device automatically - maybe it's a region-specific rollout?

By the looks of it there are only US and TW releases. I'm in Europe so I'll have to wait for a WW release, hopefully coming soon.

I'm using AOKP, just came from the Team EOS Cornerstone build.

Both work for me as daily drivers.

Now the codec support leaves me wanting, but besides that it's been fine, both support the keyboard dock fairly well.

When? A couple days ago. Check for updates and install them.

When you learn to be patient and realize that perfect coding isn't assembled overnight.

I understand that. What I don't understand is how they could release the initial ICS update with so many serious bugs, that means they didn't test enough. I can wait for an update that is reasonably stable, but this wasn't!

I'd keep waiting, because the fact that they got it out this fast was good enough. Maybe another 1-3 months and it will be fixed, and all your troubles will be gone.

TF101 Download page - I have the latest installed (V9.2.1.21) with zero issues. Runs like a dream. Make sure you download and install the correct version (US, WW, TW, etc.).

Good luck!

There's only a US, and TW update to x.x.x.21 does that mean they have yet to roll out one for WW build numbers?

Not sure as I am using the US version - odd.

I've been having the same kinds of issues with the random reboots and loops. But,I just saw this thread and within minutes downloaded the update. Now I'll see how it works and report back. Thank you guys!

UPDATE: I've had the update for a few days now and there doesn't seen to be any problems. No reboots or random shutdowns, battery life seems much improved, etc.

My update went very smoothly and everything is great (except Angry Birds Space keeps freezing). I think you should check your update and learn some manners.
