Hey All, I know it's probably early for this... but is it possible to roll the OTA Honeycomb back to 2.3.4?
i recently bought the View for the wife and she's spent a couple weeks getting to know it and had it set pretty much how she wanted it (her first Android, and not rooted). I told to go ahead and do the update and now she's flipping over how it's completely different.
Thanks
there is a sticky at the top of the page with the answer...no it's not possible and not likely to be for some time.
great... I've read the thread over a couple times and have also been refreshing this forum for the last hour. I saw a lot of talk about rooted Views, wasn't sure how that pertained to a stock one.
Thanks for your efforts!

No.
It is not early.
It is too late
Sell this one and buy a new one with GB from eBay.

I for one, would love to see the device with the official Honeycomb upgrade. If any early adapter would please do a 5 minute video, showing us the layout and operations. I'm really curious how the HTC Sense interface works in the HC system.
Secondly, if there are any apps that cease to function, I'd like to know ahead of time.

I know this is for the Flyer, but seeing how no one has put up a youtube on the HC View, here it is for the Flyer. I reckon it's not much different other than Sprint bloat on it.

I messed with the wife's View this morning... I really think HC is a step backwards on the View. I'm all for advancements in general and look forward to ics on my E4GT but I really hope I can find a solution for going back to GB, it just seems to be the better choice for this tablet.

Gladly on a 10" dual core tablet... I'll have to research ics on my phone before giving it a go. Feature, look and performance wise, I'm with my wife on liking GB better for the View at this point.

I don't have my view yet but I do have Sense 3.0 on my phone. By looking at that video, I think HC is a nice improvement even if the physical buttons are not functional.
okay, spent the morning on the phone with the store I bought it from, the local 'repair' store, Sprint support, Sprint Resolution, HTC support, HTC return/repair, and back to the store I bought it from.
No one will roll it back, either for lack of ability or desire... and I'm 2 days past the 14 day return period on the new device. LUCKILY... the local store manager gave in and is approving the exchange! I'm off to the store now... wish me luck.
Good luck, my ROM has updating disabled and I plan on updating my gingerbread ROM until we get ICS

Meaning you're skipping honeycomb completely?
I plan to... actually, for the life and usefulness of the View's hardware, I'm fine in locking it at gb.
I ran into a snag at the store... the one unit they had in stock was a 'ship to store' that landed today, but the person that ordered it bought elsewhere. The manager couldn't get it released from the other account. I have to go get it tomorrow.

I'm right there with you on that. I do not like HC at all, I like having buttons.
My plan is the same, wait for ICS or stick with GB.

I don't have the HC update yet, but I kind of scratch my head at all of the people complaining about the buttons taking up the screen. Right now along the top of GB you have a bar running. Now the bar is at the bottom and has buttons on it. I guess to me it seems pretty much the same, minus maybe a few pixel lines. I suppose it's a different story full screen, I guess it's just not that big a deal to me.
It is only a big deal because we have the hardware buttons.

actually the disabling of the hardware buttons had little to do with the wife's reasons.
I got the replacement one about an hour ago and just about to get it set back up for her.
Ok - I just wanted a few opinions on what I should do.
I am one of the unfortunate people who had a perfectly working TP...Until ICS update. Now I have a continuous boot loop. I can only use my Prime for about 30 seconds before it reboots.
So I am going after work to return to BB. I called my local Gamestop and they were kind enough to hold the last one from the shipment they got today.
THE QUESTION: Should I immediately open the new one up and install ICS to see if it works on this one? Or stay with HC, until they fix the ICS update?
well you can only put it off 3 times, I say just do it. I reckon the issues are from a very early shipment that was just plagued. I may of course be wrong.

Did you try doing a factory reset on your current Prime after the ICS update? Maybe something is mucking up the works (sorry if that's too much technical jargon)...
You might find that the new Prime won't exhibit any problems. Certainly, neither of mine have any issues.

Yes - Sorry I forgot to mention that. I've tried the factory reset. That was one of the first things I tried.

ICS update works fine for 99% of us. So I say go for ICS.
This question is for people in the US that downloaded the 11.1 firmware update and applied it. Did it fix / break anything? Should I try it and see if it helps with the rebooting issues?
I just want to know if it helps at all.

Been wondering the same thing. I actually read the entire thread on it, and came away with no real detail on what it has that may be different. I like to incorporate any fixes I can get my hands on, but there is too little info on this "undocumented" update. Folks were nice enough to make it available, but no one ever tore it down enough to know what it does/has. I won't take that kind of risk on... Probably best to wait for the next official, especially since that thread went nowhere, and was not too conclusive as to what this update may or may not do.
Always best to update to the latest firmware. What you waiting for?

It's a beta that came out a day after the .11 firmware. That's why I want to know if it makes any real difference.
What are the details included in the FW update?

Oh OK..did only specific people get this one? Like Asus only made this available to people they contacted?
This is the thread
OP: Try to include the full release number so people know what you are talking about, specifically. In this case, its the ICS Update 9.4.2.11.1
This seems to be the bulk of avalable info on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452933
In other words... not much. I thought about it... a lot. In fact I downloaded it last night, but so far, I am brave, but not stupid, I hope.
NEVER update to something that you do not know EXACTLY what it is, what it does(or is trying to do) and what is in it.
NEVER
Unless you LIKE having a shine "Spun Metalic" Brick... in which case, go for it.
I had the random freeze then immediately reboot bug. Really sucked and was really random. I couldn't pinpoint what was causing it at all.
Soooo, I gave 11.1 a go and all is well now.

Um, where would I see it? Build is 9. whatever.. It updated automatically after unboxing and connecting, don't see an update available. Mine is working fine software wise, no reboots or anything

I have installed it and have been running it for a week or 2. I know that it has fixed my YouTube buffering issue. It seems that it hasn't fixed the lockup issue it wifi issue, but I have not had any reboot.
I would recommend it.
Ive been running it since a half hour after it was posted and its been very good. Everything runs great with the occasional browser freeze( doesnt matter which browser)one in a while which may be my own fault because of the way i hold it with one hand in the middle and my thumb touches the bottom of the display.

Hence why I posted this thread -_-
And so far people seem to be saying that it fixes up the problems a little bit. If I can get more confirmation of this, then I'll apply it. It's an official ASUS beta for USA users only, so that's why it's not "untrustworthy".
Updating now.
I don't mind trying new things, and I'm still within my return window. I'll post if I notice anything new, but I have had 0 software bugs to date.
I have 11, but my tablet does not think it needs an update (to 11.1) Suggestions?

It's not an OTA. It's a beta that requires manual install. Or are you receiving errors on manual installation?
I actually don't get any response from my Prime regarding the update. It doesn't even try, just boots on up... will keep trying

I think you have to set the brightness to 50% and something else for it to go into "update mode" or whatever.
I've had it installed for over a week and a half, and it fixed my re-booting issue.

I'm used to searching on my tablet to see if it needs an update. But you said this was a manual.
However, when I got to the Asus Prime Firmware update site, the newest looks like 11, not 11.1.
I've bite the bullet to manually update to the beta 11.1, I will report back if it worked for me. I've had reboots/crashes/and lockups. Not too many, but enough to make me mad at this expensive 64gb tablet. Let's see. I've applied the update without a factory reset, hopefully a factor reset isn't needed since I've done a few after the orginal ICS update.

Let us know if it helps at all. It'd be great for someone to personally clarify it.
Well not sure what exactly happened bc to my knowledge gameloft hasnt yet updated it, but however flashing jermaines newest rom i confirmed on the cornerstone and reg aokp roms that order and chaos is indeed running perfect with no mods at all, and throw in motleys new kernel its better than WoW. Everyone test this out as well see if its just me, or possibly just the rom
Roms tested:
Jermaine AOKP-(source of the backup I'm using to restore on other roms)
Jermaine AKOP cornerstone alpha
CM9 nightly (used data backup from TB and game runs good)
yeah, its working !!! and downloading data as well what about gameplay experiences ?
Please be true... I will leave work early today and isolate myself if this is true.
Wow, please be true. I want to play the game so badly with my Prime
Data is downloading on rooted/locked stock as well. Never did that before.
**edit**
Downloaded, launched, checked license, waited a bit then exited to desktop.

Sounds like good news. I use to play this religiously on my Ipad. I might stay away from this. It was too much of a time consumer..lol.
I really wish they would finally just merge the Android and IOS servers together. If they did, I'd hop back online in a heartbeat. Then I would build my guild back up on IOS whispering island server called "HELLRAISERZ" . We were the official villain guild. Ah, the Memories of pvp wars in Vega before dungeons came around and ruined everything. All people wanted to do was dungeons and no one like to fight anymore..lmfao. Real PvP, not dueling, was my forte
Beware of me if I do hop back on this game, I'm a beast..lol. does buying the game for prime still give you 3 free months like on IOS?

Very simple, start by reading my posts....all of them i mention Jermaine and his amazing AOKP Rom, so far i have been testing all the prime roms out there and his is the only one that works flawlessly or at all for that matter....dont know what makes it different but ive tested it many times on his 1.12 and 1.2 Aokp roms and also his Cornerstone alpha even runs the dang game LOL. go figure
Just unlocked my prime for this. Will install AOKP then, although I just had a problem with the wifi. Will report back later!
Edit: With AOKP the app closes after verifying the app license. Not quite sure how to get this to work. My TF201 is German.
Yeah stock... just crashes.

Yea well if it was indeed possible to do that. I it would be awesome but unfortunately it doesn't exist for tf101 either hence why there is a zillion posts on ppl trying to find a fix
Yeah there isn't a tf101 mod for this game that doesn't crash at the character select screen.
And demandarin, it is THAT serious. I loved playing this game in my car during lunch while blasting music. I extended my data plan w/ T-mobile for my phone just to wifi tether to my prime for this game.
S/N difference?
Could this have something to do with the different versions of the TF201?
Perhaps you could write the beginning of your Serial Number, and we may be able to find out more?

I took a screenshot before the update. Looks like new bluetooth and kernel changed.
If there's a new kernel maybe we have stock 1.6 again?? Anyone who updated use a cpu controller so we can see how high it goes stock?

I like the update. It seemed to have sped up my tablet. Don't get the annoying kb lag when I type and havent seen any ANR with browser and I'm currently downloading a bunch of stuff on play store. Currently it's downloading NOVA 3 and everything is still snappy.
EDIT: K finally got it to ANR in browser lol. I loaded a few heavy pages. Took a while though which is good.

And lost the power/wifi etc control widget! I don't see it anymore!
Do you still have that widget in your prime?
Thanks.
WTF?
What the hell???
This update is awful. Been using it for the past 20 minutes and have had more ANR's and frozen screens with the stock browser than I've had the past month combined.
Tried a cold boot and it improved nothing.
Not happy. Going to bed angry now, but may have to resort to a factory restore in the morning... but seriously? Should I have to reinstall all of my files and apps for this "improvement"???
Imagine if everytime you installed a Windows update it fored you to reinstall all your software ad documents/files???
ww out also, seems to be the same update recently released for the TF300.
Going through the battery quickly. It seems that "Download Manager" is hogging a lot of CPU. Have done a cold boot, this has not fixed the battery drain.

No issues so far....
I just installed the update and have not seen anything to cause me any concern. Usually I listen to my podcasts at night at work on a creative BT stereo headset. I would have to say the sound is a little better then what it has been, so perhaps something was tweaked to enhance transmission or clarity. Since the pad is on my desk, its not like distance was ever a factor in BT performance as I experience it.
Wireless seems just fine as well......I am getting more bars in the same location then I usually do, but I havent tested it extensively. Could haev just picked up a more favorable access point.
Browsing seems more crisp then it usually does. Pulse seems to be more responsive instead of pondering.
GPS is surprisingly........same (wasnt expecting anything here getting better)
Settled down now, "Download Manager" process has stopped hogging CPU. WIFI connection speed is a lot faster.

Don't ASUS provide a backup app? All you really need probably is wipe dalvik cache (but that needs root).
After banging my head on the table due to the failed JB update over and over. I tried everything that does not involve unlocking my bootloader.
No luck with that
Of course it said no updates available after the failed JB update... :silly:
but, now this update popped up today on my tablet, I said "what the heck, try and see what happens".
Well, I 'll be damned, this time it worked!!! Updated the dock firmware at the same time too!!!
They must have changed something in the update procedure due to all the people who were unable to update before???
Anyways, finally I am running a stock 4.1.1 JB ROM! :good:
P.S. I was literally considering unlocking it today, just finished backing up with Ti-Pro and the alert showed up on my status bar.

Me think too! Oh Polaris office got updated again.
Doesn't feel any faster to me though but I got a ipad mini now for that now.
I've been wanting to root for a while now, but seems to be very difficult. Is this new version going to make it worse?
I got excited when I saw that there was a firmware update, bu tmy wifi still disconnects during sleep even though I have it set to always stay on during sleep.
I'll try a factory reset later, but I'm not expecting anything to work. Looks like ASUS is either ignoring this problem or doesn't know about it.
