Asus Sweden:

Asus United Kingdom:

It's obvious that the update has been pulled. Even some US customers say that they haven't gotten their update yet. The whole thing about Gary saying that it's going live and that they tested Primes and everything is fine apparently turned out to be false if you look around the forums.
It's sensible thing for ASUS to simply stop these updates, since they are making things worse all around.
We will get it when we get it, i can't see how complaining on XDA is going to make a difference?!

The battery and the sleeping issues I can live with until they fix it.
But the constant reboot when there is a fix is something I want now!
I'd be happy to exchange battery life for a device that is actually usable. :-/

It's still up for those who want them, but OTA seems to be halted.
Or they could just unlock the damn bootloaders so people with problems can roll back and wait for the next patch.

Yesterday xda members found that the prime had locked bootloader, people bricking their primes with the update, people start asking to ASUS to unlock bootloader.
Today's Asus released an official statement that will release an bootloader unlock tool, ICS official release on jan 12, and then jcase got root...
JCase needs one more prime to do another test:
<jcase> i need someone with a prime, to do one final test of root
<jcase> will release after 1 more
<jcase> will opensoruce after ICS
<jcase> (probably)

Amazing news for us.
Owners of the Transformer Prime will be the first ones to get Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0.
Asus is also releasing, version 8.8.3.33, this will improve the focus of the camera, the fluidity of the touch experience, and the APK capabilities in Android Market.

Not to be a glass half empty kinda guy but I am going to keep my finger cross. Asus hasn't been doing that well their timetable lately.
Just called today (Jan 7) to ask about my software issue with auto rotate and he asked why I am still on honeycomb. I said ICS comes on the 12th. He said "no, make sure your logged into gmail account and you should be getting the update." Has anyone received an update?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Who did you call? I am always logged into gmail and still rocking HC. No ICS update, and from what i have been reading its def not suppose to be coming out till the 12th.
Agreed with above...if this was hitting devices already, XDA would definitely start reporting it.
this thread sucks and needs to be deleted.
nope

Maybe he was just keeping u from sending ur unit in and making u believe that there was an update. The 12th will be here soon and we will get our ics then.
However this is my first tablet so hc is so nice compared to this gb phone!
Nvidia always!
False Alarm! this made me stop what I was doing to check. its a no go. if by anychance it does release earlier, whoever gets it make a thread in CAPS to let everyone know its here.
Classic to the person who said did we find this out from Best Buy Floor manager...lmfao.
Nothing for me yet either. I don't see anything wrong with this thread since the title doesn't say it HAS been release just apparently it was supposed to be.
He was just reporting what ASUS told him not some guy at the local store.
if ICS was pushed early.. I am 100% sure we would see 100000 threads here going OMGWTFBBQ!!11!! ICS IS HERE.. andddd last time I checked I just saw a bunch of [Q] threads in the wrong place.. thats all..

No offense, but seriously? You can't find any threads on this? Crazy.
It's debunked because in at least one of those threads that you can't find, an ASUS rep has stated unequivocally that the TF201 isn't being discontinued. Certainly, we have to go by his word vs. random speculation based on confusing and unclear retailer out-of-stock verbiage?

Why it will be the best performing quadcore tablet! Because of the resolution! Will be lower than the other ones! Everyone will be playing shadowgun at 30fps and you can play it at 60fps. And it will be a limited edition! Plus it has one of the coolest names for a tablet!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Apparently an Asus rep said that it is not discontinued. Honestly said, its hard to find out if its true or not. Then again though, they are selling alot. Im not sure though how many are returning theirs back. But if I had a product that is failing, I wouldn't tell people that its becoming discontinued.
TF201-Not Discontinued
Quoting Gary from Asus: "The TF201 is not discontinued. I have no idea how many times this needs to be said but the TF201 is not discontinued."
Although the product may not be discontinued, it does feel like ASUS is not committed to this platfom given the information retailers are providing.
Can ASUS please state:
1) Is ASUS continuing to manufacture the TF201?
2) How long does ASUS expect to continue manufacturing the TF201?
3) Is there a reason why some retailers are no longer accepting orders and why other retailers are just not even selling it anymore?
4) Is ASUS committed to the Tegra-3 processor?
5) How long can buyers expect to receive firmware and other software updates to the TF201 platform?
Appreciate your help with putting this to bed.
Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.
My hope is that the current model is being discontinued for a newer model with a fixed backplate, and that we early adopters can exchange our models for the newer one. Otherwise...well....I don't know what to say.

" 4/27/2012 Update -We are still validating a new firmware release. We are also tracking user reported issues with Tegra 3 games, WiFi Direct and some continued random reboot/lock problems with a few units. Based on current regression testing at HQ, NVIDIA and Google it appears we will need to sway out a few units to pinpoint exact user problems. For the unlocked audience, we have requested a version of NVFlash that works properly for users who unlocked their units."
Very glad to see this! Hopefully nvflash will hit soon!

Correct, it should allow total recovery even if you get the unrecoverable bootloader error that some peoples units are suffering from.
It should hopefully aid development of native Ubuntu for the Prime also.

Well sorry but the prime will never be able to run Windows 8 sorry.
I have been waiting patiently for this tool for sometime now, got a rma ticket open eventually and Im considering shipping it back overseas (where I bought it), but after a few reports of packages coming back dented, scratched or deformed, Im a bit hesitent to go ahead. If this tool is near on the horizon, I'll wait it out further. Come on ASUS, nvidia, google make our day!
