Demandarin posted this earlier in answer to a person having WiFi (edit: actually shutdown) issues.
Did you by any chance happen to just recently install Google chrome beta browser? If so, clear its app cache, data, and uninstall it. Seems this app might be the culprit. Others posted same issue as you. Plus they had chrome bets. Then they uninstalled it. And now their prime working fine. There's posts in other threads on it.

I tried it, removed Chrome app cache, data, and then uninstalled Chrome.
Tried a few SpeedTests outside at WiFi marginal location about 45 feet away from router. (I get almost 11 Mbps inside, 30 feet or so from router.)
With Chrome installed, about 2 Mbps.
Uninstalled Chrome, about 4 Mbps.
How about you?
EDIT: SORRY, I messed up, although the post was by Demandarin, the OP (curly9) of the thread "most recent wifi bluetooth update" actually had a problem about Prime shutting off. Sorry for the confusion.

I'll bet my life that Chrome has no impact on WiFi. Using the Speedtest app is really not the best way to test speeds. Since you're going outside of your home network, there are MANY outside variables that will impact your results, and you are not going to get consistent results.
If you really want to get a true measure of your WiFi, the best thing to do is to download a large file from a PC on your home network to your tablet and watch the speed.

Sounds good. Could you outline the steps to "download" a large file from PC to tablet. What software to use, etc., I would guess on tablet to do this?
Thanks for your help.

You have a few options. I have an FTP server set up on my home PC with free software called "Filezilla." I then use an app called "ANDftp" to connect to it from my tablet and download files. I used a 1 GB movie file and watched the speed.
Another way you can go is to download a free app called "ES Explorer." It gives you a few options to connect to PCs on your network and download files. One of them, SAMBA, is based on basic windows file sharing, so if you enable windows file sharing, you should be able to see your shared folders using ES File Explorer. I'm not sure if that app shows you download speed like ANDftp does though.
I posted that to a wifi issue..lol. maybe i did. I saw people with drain issues or screen wake issues say had problems when they installed chrome. Then they uninstalled chrome n issues went away.rebooting also. While it is very weird n far fetched, too much coincidence with that app just being installed n new issues people were having. And this was even before the latest update came out. I saw someone, I think NYJedi, first post on wondering if chrome was causing issues. If I have the person incorrect, my bust. But it was someone. Then I just followed the trend of people uninstalling it.
Why is Chrome being blamed for everything from Wifi issues, lockups etc?? Too many newbs making threads on this site now, you hear one person state a stupid opinion and then we get hundreds of post claiming the same stupid thing. Chrome is not a Kernel people, its an app, it will not nterfere with yur wifi, its not the cause of lockups(this was happening BEFORE chrome was released) etc. However, I heard that touching the Prime's screen often will cause a buildup of fingerprints..Oh nooo, Asus has really screwed up NOW!!

I'm really starting to believe that we are having a surge in first-time android users..while some complaints are justified, others are just mind-boggling!

I did make a post about Chrome in relation to an overnight lockup, but not in relation to WiFi. In my situation, I had had ZERO lockups since installing ICS the first day it was released. I then installed Chrome the day it was released, and that night, I had my first ever lockup, where I woke up and my Prime would not turn on (had to use the reset pinhole). This happened the night before installing the .13 update, so the only thing that changed for me between installing ICS and getting my first and only lockup was the installation of Chrome. Could this have been a coincidence? Sure, but I'm not sure that it was, and I thought it was worth mentioning.

An app can cause lockups when being used and if it has background services those can cause wakelocks that will destroy battery life. However I totally agree with you about the wifi issue...lol

I didn't start the rumor..lmao I've seen several others post on it before I even said anything about it. The numbers were adding up and too much coincidence with installing app then issues. Then uninstalling then issues go away. I just followed the trend of uninstalling it. Plus a badly coded app or whatever can cause device to act funny so that's nothing new.

lol! Yes I know, but I was stating that the lockup issue started for most people before Chrome was released. I don't think it would only cause lockup issues for some if the app was not working correctly with ICS

I think it was just people feeling like "well if he says the cause is *X* than the cause must be *X* because I have that app too. That's like me saying that the google market is causing wifi issues, and everyone agreeing because the have the market installed also Please don's scare our new members, we must teach them the ways of the force
But you can't deny the facts that some uninstalled Chrome and the issues they had after installing Chrome went away. Hmm, sound familiar with some OS...Windows?
Sorry, I confused things a bit...
SORRY, I messed up, although the post was by Demandarin, the OP (curly9) of the thread "most recent wifi bluetooth update" actually had a problem about Prime shutting off. Sorry for the confusion.
Another person also posted (photogf4) also posted positive results.
Well..
I have no problems with Chrome on .11 nor do I have any problems with Chrome on my Galaxy Nexus. I've used it as the main browser since it was released on both devices.
Chrome does impact your battery life a little if you use sync, since it has background services related to synchronizing the browser, but the impact is minimal based on my experience so far. When I had WiFi on and the screen off my battery went down 3% in four hours. When I had WiFi off and screen off, the drain was just 1% in four hours. No crashes, no sleep of death issues.
If Chrome causes issues in .13 then it is because of something ASUS did and not something Google has done with Chrome Beta, because it's totally fine for me on .11.

What are the major issues with CM7 on the Touchpad?
Well, its an alpha port, meaning not everything is gonna work.
First of all, its not stable, some apps WILL crash, wifi settings sometimes will fail to work, fluctuating your signal. Almost every popular app seems to work now, netflix, facebook,gmail, youtube works alright, the quality of the videos is not that good but bearable. Sometimes random SoD (sleep of death) occur putting your table into a semi perm sleep stage, and you have to press the power button and home button and hold them for 20 seconds or so.
Overall, its 6/10 of what it can be. don't expect 2.3 to work as good as your phone.
The main problems for me are:
Incompatible apps, either from the resolution and screen size, or not landscape optimized.
No VOIP integration.
Video does not play, either from youtube or flash, it shows lines and other static.

The wife and I have had virtually no major problems. The biggest one was not being able to connect to wifi outside of home but that seems to be fixed with a post I found here. Otherwise its small things, occasional app crashes, the odd app that wont run. Its no different than just about any custom rom on a phone (and I have seen many). Once in a blue moon ill get a random freeze/reboot. Never had the sod problem, Netflix, YouTube, flash videos all run like butter, I can stream anything I want, really, the TP has taken over as my main home device

Thanks for the replies. I bought my TP with the intention to install Android on it. Ive been waiting for a stable release, with ICS out it will probably be another 2 mths.
The main issue ive read about is the WiFi, which is pretty critical for what I use the TP for. Why do some people have the issue and others dont? Is there something that can be done to lessen the issue?

I turned off the setting that allows the wifi to turn off when the tablet goes to sleep. I also used the SOD fix just in case as well after I installed Alpha 2. That seems to do a good job keeping it connected.
Another thing I had to do was use my wireless G signal instead of my wireless N signal (I have dual band). On wireless N, I was getting a very weak signal but with wireless G the signal was very strong. Using WebOS, the wireless N was as strong as the G so I have to assume there is something weird with CM7 for this.
My only main issue is with wi-to. It's very sporatic and frustrating. Is anyone aware of a fix? Other than, just typical issues nothing critical. It's a surprisingly stable Alpha other than that. Facebook also doesn't work for me, but not a large issue.
My major issue is that I can't connect to my work's wifi with enterprise level encryption. I once got it to connect, but webpages would only load sometimes. On my home wifi, I have no issues connecting.
The other issues I've seen are that I woke up this morning, and my Touchpad was off instead of asleep. The battery wasn't dead or anything, and it turned back on fine. When I loaded Angry Birds, it crashed twice, but the third time it worked perfectly.

Zipaligning and fixing permissions in ROM Toolbox helped a ton with crashes and FC's.

Every time I want to shutdown my TP in CM7 it gets restarted instead, and there was one time I got nut and forced shutdown it when it was booting and the system crashed. I had to uninstall and install everything which wasted my whole night in that day.....

I've run many custom ROMs on my Incredible and on my Eris, without app issues like this. The eris has a lot of apps that don't run well, but I can assure you this is not a custom ROM issue. I have yet to see an app that won't run on my incredible with custom ROMS.
BTW the wifi seems to work better for me at least with alpha 3. Before flashing alpha 3 my wifi was completely non-working, it would crash when I went into wifi settings.
I need my youtube and its not working properly on alpha 2 or 3. Once thats fixed I'm good on cm7.
But I"m still waiting for some one to do honeycombo or ICS
I've heard there have been issues with the Razr and data. Ive had mine for 3 days now and today is my first issue with it. I will restart my phone and it still will not kick into 4G/3G. I set up JuiceDefender last night and I hope it is not the source for this issue. By turning the screen off and on it should automatically toggle the data off and on. Anyone have any suggestion on a quick fix or have the same problem with or without JD?
I have the same problem with my razr. I installed JD ultimate and my data wouldnt turn on when the screen was on, so i just uninstalled it. Im looking for a alternative but nothing is better than JD.
Why not use Smart Actions?
They're built in

Hello guys
Being a long time member, and having rooted many of my devices before (Xoom, HTC Sensation etc) I have seen complaints like people are posting where some here are experiencing no battery/rebooting issues(like me) while others are experiencing the opposite. The first thing that any experienced developer here on XDA would tell you is that something went wrong when updating to the new .13 update, which is why some are experiencing problems, while others are not. It does not make sense that a good majority of us, have no issues...if the new .13 update was bad/faulty, then it would affect all of us, not just some. I would highly recommend that people with issues reformat/start from scratch, as this has helped others with similar issues. If this does not help, then unfortunately you just experience a bad update, which of course the only fix would be is to try to reinstall the update (easy to do if rooted) or wait for a new update from Asus.
Also, if your battery is dying quickly, check to see if it is warm to the touch even if you are not using it. If so, then this would definitely point to an app trying to do something in the background without your knowledge..maybe there is an app trying to sync but your wifi is off, or an app that you installed that does not play nice with ICS. I would suggest that those with problems can list their installed apps, and those without issues can see if they have any of the apps on their devices...this can help narrow the issue down and hopefully find the culprit.
Thanx

All fair points, but many people suspect that there are at least two batches of Primes floating around with different hardware. After all, even before this update, there were groups of people that had freezes and reboots and others who had none.
Another telling point is that as far as I can tell, .13 update completely fixed Primes that were previously having sleep of death and reboot problems, and caused sleep of death, reboot and battery problems only on Primes that were previously working fine. This also suggests two different hardware sets to me (e.g., they tested the .13 update only/mostly on the set of Primes that had previous problems).
the bad update/ flash/ application as a culprit to all the Primes problems went out the window long ago this is all horse**** the problem is with the tegra3 in some way and different hardware variances in X Prime vs B Prime vs Z Prime etc....etc...etc...

But that doesn't make sense either, because I had no rebooting issues before and no battery issues after updating to .13.
What we need here is hard data evidence from something such as a battery/hardware/resource monitor, which I have not seen from anyone with battery issues.
I don't have the issue so there is really nothing for me to monitor and gather data from.
Just had this issue pop up. Was using my Prime this morning on the charger, closed the screen (have the dock) pulled the plug put it in my bag for the day. Went to class, and then to work pulled it out at 6pm to check out a new note taking app and found my Prime to be HOT, like I left in in the car on a sunny day hot. Opened it up and it wouldn't come to life, held the on/off till it "shut off" then powered it back on. Battery life is 80% prime 14% dock. As requested my apps are as follows.

Crazy how my prime is never affected negatively from these updates. Ill check n see.

If your TFP is hot it could be an indication that the processor is running something and causing heat.
Try an app like SystemPanel to monitor resource usage. You may have to get the paid version in order to track app resource usage history
https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.systempanel
Here is another good website to find other apps to monitor usage and find out what exactly is using your battery.

Have people experiencing the issues gotten the OTA or did they do the update via file where you system partition is formatted? Wonder if some file(s) didn't get updated properly via OTA but work fine via .zip update.

That's actually a pretty good question! Along with posting a list of apps...thinking a widget is trying to sync constantly?? Also, have you guys checked your app intervals...too many apps syncing at a low interval will kill your battery
I couldn't do the OTA, so I had to do the wipe and full install from .zip
unknown_owner said:
Have people experiencing the issues gotten the OTA or did they do the update via file where you system partition is formatted? Wonder if some file(s) didn't get updated properly via OTA but work fine via .zip update.

Although I didn't suffer from issues here ln battery, after hearing about it, I went in and changed all intervals and cut off anything unnecessary. I especially made sure to raise email interval. As that's the thing that goes off the most. When it does it also causes the audio to go off constantly. So far I've been getting even better battery life than before in deep sleep. Actually very impressed how lil energy is used while in deep sleep. Before o took my screenshot and used tablet, it was in deep sleep for over 7-8hrs. And didn't budge from 100%. That's pretty impressive.

Yes! My wifi signal strength matches my Moto Xoom, I haven't had one reboot..GPS is weak but I honestly didn't buy the tab for that (Ipad users don't have it, but who cares its not a navigation device) . My 1080p movie playback is flawless, colors are rich. This is truly a sexy, powerful beast of a tablet! I'm sure that we all can agree on that...I'm sure that Asus will work out the kinks that some are having soon.
Everywhere I go, even Ipad owners love the way this Tablet looks, especially the screen display

What's up guy, still spreading those chrome rumors??
Yeah, I'm wondering if people have their update intervals low an the system is constantly trying to update apps in the background?? This would explain the warm/hot backs of the Primes by the batteries for some
The battery, sleep of death and random reboot IT IS CAUSE BY THE NEW OTA .13
i have factory restore 3 times no app install, same problem
i have push the OTA .13 MANUALLY TWICE same problem without installing app.
there's no way to get around this, only a new firmware fix or backflash to .11 only solution for us having problem with this new .13

Why are any users experiencing the range of issues this tablet is presenting while others are not? We have 3-5 major bugs that are sporadically scattered across a wide range of serial numbers. I believe its downright obvious that TFPs have a variation in hardware quality and/or quality control issues. It's fracking embarrassing. To say that only some people are having this battery issue just continues to follow the trend that has been ASUS the past 3 months.

Im guessing the reason for most of these problems is going from HC to ICS without a full wipe.
I have flashed thousands of roms on my devices since Windows Mobile 6.1 and when portion of people have issues they are told to check md5 sums and full wipe.
A little from column a and a little from column b perhaps.

Wipe? Doesn't an OTA format everything?
nyijedi said:
All fair points, but many people suspect that there are at least two batches of Primes floating around with different hardware. After all, even before this update, there were groups of people that had freezes and reboots and others who had none.
Another telling point is that as far as I can tell, .13 update completely fixed Primes that were previously having sleep of death and reboot problems, and caused sleep of death, reboot and battery problems only on Primes that were previously working fine. This also suggests two different hardware sets to me (e.g., they tested the .13 update only/mostly on the set of Primes that had previous problems).

This.
I had no sleep of death problem until the update, and it's ridiculous how fast it's burning through battery now.
Well I had two choices last night, exchange my perfect transformer prime (working gps/wifi, no bleeding) in for another one due to averaging 4-5 hours of battery life after .15 on powersaving - or to unlock the bootloader and test to confirm it's not the battery.
I decided the more risky choice to void the warranty because I didn't want to gamble getting a bad unit. Installed CWM, flashed virtuous (.14 version) - battery is performing quite well so far.
Still need to test it a few discharge cycles but it's looking like .15 was a bad egg at this point.
Um, er... Battery life on mine is much better on .15. I can get 10 hours ebook reading, light browsing, etc. 7 hours on heavy browsing, video, etc. The only thing that would take me down to less than 7 hours is heavy gaming (e.g., Shadowgun). And this is all running on Balanced mode with auto brightness.
I haven't heard of poor battery life being a hardware-specific issue (although it's possible, I suppose). But it's also not specific to .15. I'd think that anything that limits to 4-5 hours is either than quite unusual hardware problem or some app or background service that you were running that was causing problems.
There were at least 3 reports that I'm aware of that .15 was a battery killer. My battery life was never amazing (think my tf101 gets better life) but on .15 it was just ridiculous - which lead to speculation that my unit may have a bad battery. As far as apps go - BBS said my browser was killing my battery - but I'm using the same browser on a different rom without as serious of a drain.

you have to think about it, that's only 3 reports out of over 320 xda prime owners here. I've got great battery life also with .15. well at least you getting good battery life with virtuous rom. that's all that matters.
.15 fixed all battery drain problems that all people experienced with .14. .14 caused significant battery problems for everyone without exception, and .15 fixed it for everyone, without exception.
If you're having battery problems, it's definitely not related to .15.

You're joking, right? I would actually amend my own post to say that it COULD be .15, but likely if there's some app that a person is running that doesn't play well with .15 for some reason. My point was only that I would look hard at running apps and services before concluding either that the hardware is bad or that .15 is NECESSARILY bad, in and of itself.
Doesn't mean, though, that .15 couldn't be interacting with something on this user's machine that previous updates did not...
Why'd you do it, ickkii, why?

Question. Why void warranty to find out? Why not just root it, and go back to stock .14 Asus official image, using the "replace the blob" process in the dev section? I had some issues with .15 myself - the very first FW update that did not agree with my Prime. Nothing disasterous, but some static lines, and bobbing of the screen a few times, but it blew away the best GPS numbers I had achieved to date (I know, I know, but I am stubbornly hanging onto the dream, LOL!) Anyway, I rolled back to stock 14 and all is well again. Unless you had issues there as well?

And that is EXACTLY why we need Asus to provide SOME kind of documentation with these updates, otherwise, it's like we are all walking around in the dark, applying everything they put out there. I can see the logistic issues with changelogs, but really, this method is madness. I commend Asus for providing fixes, but without documentation, they have limited value to people trying to resolve an issue or 3

that's what I trying to tell him in his other thread instead of going the drastic route. but if its working well for him then so be it. only thing is, flashing that rom wouldn't really tell you what the issue was. that virtuous rom going to get decent battery life anyways because its optimized, Zip aligned, and stripped of some stock apps.
I'm so tempted to try out Virtuous rom. all I here is good things about it. plus it has 1.6Ghz overclock built into Asus quick settings.
Kudos I guess? lol I'm having to resist that damn Unlock apk like crazy
I'm hitting on the second day on .15 with my dock At this moment the dock is at 17% and the tablet at 74%. Battery statistics are jacked up thanks to the dock so I can't provide a screenshot of my time off the charger
Hope ASUS or Virtuous and the like will somehow fix that so we can get an accurate look at our batteries even with the dock.
I have noticed though, that .14 was loving 102 MHz and .15 loves to sit at 475 MHz. Seems they put the same idea of a fix for .15 vs .14 as they did .13 vs .11, they're just leaving the lower states actually intact. I mean, they're being used, just not as much as they were.
Only problem I had with battery life was on .13 - .14 and .15 have been back to normal on my C1, no issues here...

because i didn't feel comfortable with the brick rate. I still have 30 day exchange with gamestop anyway... I doubt they boot their exchanged units into recovery to check if the bootloader is unlocked - and even if they do, I'm exchanging it through gamestop's rules - not necessarily asus's.

Do you think a tool similar to setcpu would work on tegra 3 to lower the minimal cpu speed? Perhaps that could be the problem. In sleep my unit purrs, but I'm thinking the tegra 3 could also be running too high on average for remedial processes, kind of like you said.

Yes and no. Others seem to successfully be using it.
Whenever I use my SetCPU I'm greeted with random reboots, especially if I use profiles to try and underclock.
You might could use ViperControl or the other in the dev section to at least manually set it through terminal emulator to run some tests as to whether or not that is your issue.
But the higher CPU states are definitely what were killing my battery on .13 and now .15 (although it's not nearly as bad... for me... but it did provide me with my first random reboot caused by the system).
I've used both SetCPU and Vipercontrol since picking up my TFP, and not once under any firmware so far have I had any random reboots.. AT ALL. Everything works fine.
Did you ever try a factory reset and run it stock for a day or two to see if it went away? It's an easy way to rule out an app causing it.

I think I may need to undervolt my tablet.
Oh absolutely. After undervolting, my phone went from 1 to 3 days use.
What am I looking at here though, what's that app? Just another way of looking at the percentages spent at each state huh?
That's a solid amount at the 1.2 GHz there. I only show that kind of usage if I forget and leave Shadowgun or GTA III running while I take one of my strolls around town. Even spending an hour and a half on Skype last night, the majority of my time was spent around 880 MHz.

Gentlemen and ladies,
I am opening this thread for constructive feedback of the TFP in real world use after the .28 update. Please stay on topic, HELPFUL and RESPECTFUL. By having an open an honest forum, we can help drive development and troubleshooting. Please be thoughtful and give it some time so you get a good sense of the changes.
My review will be here sometime this week and I will update regularly.
First two hours:
General feeling is that it's is considerably faster and smoother. Swype actually functions like it should with no lag, which is huge for me. Wifi signal is stronger, went to the opposite side of the house which is through a brick wall , a refrigerator, and another wall, about 30 feet in total. Used to get 1 bar, now a solid 2, total signal loss of 36% on wifi analytics app. I did get two ANRs on Facebook using dolphin, got it on stock browser too. had this scenario twice so far: 2ANRoD, two ANR of death, on stock browser with flash heavy objects, I'll get two popups and wait doesn't fix it and browser crashed. Still Pleased so far. More to come.
After first full day (6/14/2012):
The happiness with the update is starting to fade a bit as some old problems remain. I cold rebooted to see if there was any improvement, (not really)
Browsing: I have been experiencing a few ANRs messages consistently, they are way less than .21, but a few time an hour. I have noticed that google news website no longer produces the ANR on dolphin, where previously it did. Some sites that are flash work great, others not so much. FB webpage creates the ANR message everytime. I do continue to get some hangs or web pages that do not load completely, but generally the experience is faster loading. Stock browser continues to perform better than Dolphin, so I have to switch back and forth a bit which is annoying. .28 is still a step in the right direction by clearly not up to par. From Gary's post, I look forward to the next update to clear this up.
Productivity: opening pdf files is noticeably faster but still EXTREMELY slow by comparison to my sgsII. (For example, my sgsII opens a 3mb pdf of 180 pages in less than a second, whereas the TFP takes at least 10 seconds or longer to load a 3mb file of 10 pages.) I find this to be unacceptable as I bought the TFP specifically for work related tasks. using swype is still better, some glitchiness but far less.
WiFi: still better than .21 consistently in my home. Signal has been noticeably improved. I am definitely pleased there.
UI: Definitely there is a sense of more smoothness and snappiness most of the time. The TFP is pretty tempermental at times with increased lag, slow downs, or out and out unresponsiveness for 10s or greater. Sometimes its perfectly fine with no rhyme or reason. Definitely an annoyance when this occurs.
Battery life: I haven't notice a huge difference yet, but my use patterns are typically 2-3hrs so i don't stress the battery too much, i do have a vacation coming up so we'll see then. I do notice on the that when the dock is plugged in, it transfers battery to the tablet sooner. A few weeks ago i had a class for 9 hours, i noticed the tab would discharge to almost 50% before the dock kicked in. Now, the dock kicks in right away. after about 30 minutes i'm down to 80%, as it charged the tab about 15% then seemed to stop charging it for a while. looking at the battery meter i notice that it made a small sine wave, kicks in a little, then lets the tab discharge a bit. cool. ps- can i request a better battery graph? maybe some numbers and xy lines?
24 hour impression: This update is a step in the right direction as there are some improvements, but those improvements by an large are hard to quantify, other than the WiFi. I believe that the website loading is better most of the time. I am definitely disappointed by the ANRs and processing; my belief is that there should be improved processing over my sgsII dual core. I'll say this now because it came to mind over the last 24 hours: though less than .21, erratic performance and continued problems nearly 7 months out from release, with an update that took a long time to come out makes me suspicious of larger issues. I believe that there are solutions, and .28 shows that things can be better, I begin to wonder how much of a time investment will make in the tf201 over the long run to get it to where it should be. Over the weekend I am going to be using the dock and probably playing more games, so I will round out my review at the five day mark.
Wifi/BT on the new firmware I am actually seeing an improvement now. I used to get about 1-2mb when using my headphones out of 20M. Now I'm seeing about 3-5.. so they messed with something good thankfully. It seems Netflix doesn't buffer for me as long as I'm getting 1-2mb down so I'll take anything better than it was
Browser was not an issue with ANR for me before but seems fine as well after the update I set my plugins to ondemand in Advanced settings. No wait messages yet
give it time to settle in though. people can't say update is really bad and haven't even ran it for more than an hour yet..lol just saying.
constructive criticism always good. ill vote.
for me, running this update over 2 weeks now, its been running great. battery life improved alot. wifi performance better(for me). no browser ANR or crash in 2 weeks. most graphic heavy games playable now without crashing. overall faster feeling device. no random reboots. I like this build way better than. 21..lmfao
No ANR messages so far (although I've only had the update for a half an hour or so). On 0.21 I would get the wait popup on a regular basis while using the stock browser and other apps such as Engadget. Things seem snappier overall but I think that may be primarily due to the absence of the ANR popup.
Its actually a little weird now, I got so used to reaching towards the screen to cancel the ANR popup and now I don't have to do that at all, I can just keep my hands on the keyboard/trackpad.
Wifi Direct seems to work, lets me connect to my Nexus now, but after its connected though not sure what I can do with it. I looked in File Manager for it but not sure where it would be
Super happy thus far......

Troll much? I mean seriously this is your first post.
Been using the update for about 2 hours. Had one ANR while setting up face unlock, but since then it has been phenomenal. All games play now, couldn't play shadowgun, riptide or dead space before. Web browsing is incredibly smooth. Haven't done wifi tests yet, but I can tell that it has improved. Very happy with the update.
Face unlock is stupid....
Suprisingly wifi has improved for me too.
I tested right before the ota on a fresh boot and right after in the same spot
Averages Before (On a 18mbit up/down connection):
Download: 2mbps
Upload: 3mbps
After:
Download: 5mbps
Upload: 7mbps
I am VERY happy with this ota.
Download went well, but I could tell that there was major upgrade in firmware just when putting in my password. WiFi is much better, website pop open. The web moves faster then on mine laptop. I like it! Please do make sure to reboot or do a soft reboot before running with it, you will notice the difference.

Really glad you signed up, for that single post!
I just want to say that it's nice to see that Asus, in spite of the fact that they've since released the TF300 and will soon be releasing the Prime Infinity, are still working to improve the Transformer Prime, and haven't given up on it!
I, for one, appreciate their efforts!
My Prime has been very stable before the update, and I've had no complaints about wifi. I don't really use GPS on my Prime, using my car's GPS and my Thunderbolt much more often.
The one issue I have is the task manager will on occasion give me a "Task Manager has Quit" message, or something to that effect. Hopefully, that'll be resolved, but again, it only happens maybe once every three, four days.
I do like the face unlock feature, and the ability to show stats after locking the status bar at the bottom is a nice touch, if slightly unnecessary. My battery life has never been a problem, as I generally have over 40% in the evening, even after heavy use. I always charge it when I go to sleep.
I do hope that this update solves issues that I realize other people have been having.

yeah, Asus task manager has been buggy since the beginning. it looks like they trying to improve it though. or at least its looks..lol
Installed update, rebooted after the first boot, as mentioned a couple of times. Restored root with Rootkeeper. Had 2 ANR in the space of one minute while trying to load www.hotnews.ro (the desktop version). Chrome doesn't seem to do ANRs, although it also froze for 1-2 seconds a couple of times (and is also definitely more sluggish than the stock browser during page load).
Doing stuff during market updates is much less irritating now, seems to move better overall.
Will keep testing.

I just tried that site you mentioned. it loaded up fine for me with no problem. no ANR. cool looking news site. too bad I don't understand that language
Can we keep root with OTA root keeper?
Yes we can. Just restored root about two minutes ago.

I am seeing alot of ANRs with the facebook app. Specifically, it occurs more often and responses slower the further down I scroll; until it reaches a point where the app will no longer respond even after waiting a while. G+ on the other hand seems to be smoother.
I have gotten 1 ANR with chrome, but after waiting it started responding again.
