Firmware 9.4.2.14 in Canada? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I have been waiting for the 2012/2/17 .14 firmware to arrive GTA Canada. Has anyone in Canada got their .14 OTA yet?
I am now in .11 after the last Asus OTA upgrade. However, interestingly, I just realized that mine has a IML74K.WW_epad-9.4.2.11-20120117 Build. No wonder it did not get the .13 upgrade. I bought mine at NCIX, should it be a US instead of a WW model? I am thinking to change it to the US Build using the dd method mentioned in this forum. Has anyone tried this?
Any more advice?

If you search thru the post made my Gary Key (Asus Tech manager), .14 should be released by Tuesday to WW after it passes Google Certification. WW users will not get the .13 and go straight from .11 to .14.
So wait till tuesday or do it yourself now. Your call.

How do you do it by your self...
there is no Firmware posted for WW of the .14 version on the ASUS website

I'm in no rush for this, everything is working perfect on my device.

I've heard it forces you to update after three notifications. I did the OTA from honeycomb to ICS (.11) and everything is awesome, so I'm hesitant to update given the trouble people seem to have had.

Mine is working fine except for GPS. I'll wait until tuesday. I really wanted the GPS feature

I guess I will wait and see then...my .11 has minimal issue other then constant wait freeze issue on my ICS+ browser.

To answer you specifically, yes, you could and would be fine.
I have not changed my SKU, but I've reverted to nearly every US update and have seen no ill effects, upgrading with it should be no different. You still get OTA's after, and if you go back you can freeze your DMClient (if you're rooted with Titanium Backup or something else that does similar) and not be bothered with further updates.
In my personal experience, update .11 is the holy grail of performance and battery-life, so I'd personally recommend staying there unless you're having issues.

I used chrome for a few days and i found it to be fast but unstable. I went back to stock browser. Works well enough for me, at least until chrome is out of beta status.

Lol, just like on the computer!
I personally use Opera Mobile, just so I have the same interface from phone to tablet and it's always been a good browser on Android (personally didn't care for it back when I tried it and Maxthon on PC's).
Dolphin HD of course.
I have the same "wait" issue with stock browser, but it doesn't really bother me. Prolly just put ICS + or whatever it's called.

Of course, it's better. However, you'll likely have to flash back to stock 2.1 JFD as I'd expect to you won't be able to update directly from JI5. Even the JI5 update forced people to do that (for example those that were on JI2 / JI4), I'd expect more of the same. There are those who have no problem doing this and that's fine. I'm just warning those who aren't / might not be.

Fine there are Odin official tmobile images over in bible sticky and take a min to flash
Yea you lose programs settings ...ect but IMO its better to start from scratch when using new updates. And not run into intermittent and compatibility issues like what seems to be going on now with allot of people
but yea this update works great no problems whats so ever for me

Thanx, but I sorta needed that working GPS last week, not soon. Besides, "soon" is such an evasive term.
This makes me recollect the June 8th outing of a policy statement by Cole Brodman, Chief Technology Officer @ T-Mobile titled "No Phone Left Behind". It was in regards to assuring owners of the HTC Mytouch3G that they'd be receiving a Froyo update.
Nearly four months later and zip for the MT3G from Tmobile or HTC.
Maybe I'm wrong as my knowledge of timelines is from the inside of my addled head, but I do not believe T-Mobile has had a successful OTA of *ANY* Android phone in their stable this year at all. It's not the most encouraging development. (I do recall the Behold II 1.6 OTA, but it was eventually pulled for bricking phones....and led to me getting my Vibrant for free from T-Mobile before the official Vibrant launch...long story).
Granted, T-Mobile does not develop firmware, so they are at the mercy of the phone manufacturers. Still, if there's any issue that is at the core of Android angst, it is this one.
Just so I don't come across as a troll, I love my Vibrant. Compared to the Behold II I had and every other smartphone I've had it's leaps and bounds ahead of them all. I just get irritated when P.R. and "spin" get out of control...
Of course, this thread was a warning to the people who hadn't yet flashed JI5 / Kies and were still uncomfortable with doing it. Obviously, it's not people who are (already) comfortable. Knowledgeable people are certainly free to ignore and flash away.
This is BS. T-Mobile... how soon is soon? How long have we heard there would be an update to the MyTouch? I cannot and will not wait around for them to OTA anything. I will be very shocked if I get an update in the next month. I know i sound a little pessimistic but who wouldn't?
This is nonsense, installing this update does not prevent me from ODIN to any other firmware. I went directly from JI4 to JI5, so whoever said that I cannot do that is very confused.

That's because you ODIN flashed it.
Kies looked for the JFD product code, then gave you the option to update.
Lol how ironic that they don't want you to flash the firmware because it has 'known' issues. But the firmware on it has bigger issues so hmmm

True. I'd like to think the probability of bricking over OTA would be lower. Since it would be an official update they'd also likely be / feel more obligated to provide whatever support they wanted to.

Tmobile last update for the Samsung behold ii was pulled for bricking phones it can happen.
Neither Samsung nor Tmobile have a great track record with ota updates period.

Update to GPS (Firmware)

I got an update and did it, but didnt take note of my numbers before hand.
here are my post-update numbers, can anyone confirm if there is any change, before they update?
gps: 6.9.13
wifi: 6.1.1.17
bt: 9.23
build: IML74K.US_epad-9.4.2.11-20120117
Mine are:
gps: 6.8.13
wifi: 6.1.1.17
bt: 9.23
build: IML74K.US_epad-9.4.2.7-20120106
So looks like just the GPS driver changed... Hmm...
I think it was actually a complete reload of ICS. It went through the whole upgrade process again but kept the ICS version the same. I did notice the GPS version is also increased. Need to check out the rest of the software and see if anything else was changed.

Factory reset does nothing with root as it doesn't touch /system.

No update here yet. Guess they are still rolling it out.

Definitely better for both our primes. No where near as good as my Streak 7 but better than before.
Umm am I the only one who updated the TFP rooted AND retained root after the update? And I didn't even use rootkeeper or anything.
Most people probably didn't check and just ran voodoo straight after the update.

ICS problems noticed

Now that ICS is officially rolling out I've noticed 2 issues, wondering if anyone else has noticed these ??
Running .211 here (which according to VZW is the official build) and I notice 2 issues.
1)GPS is not consistently working. It keeps showng myself as in Kingsland, GA. A reboot seems to fix it.
2)Corporate Sync is not working on our 2003 Exchange server for PUSH email - was working fine under GB.
BTW - I posted this on Motorola support forums and get a pretty nasty response...
If you have side-loaded or jumped through hoops to install software the shady way, this forum is not for you.
If you downloaded stolen software, you are going to have to live with the consequences of running unfinished software.
There is no support here for people running stolen software.

I dont know how it works but I'd assume that just because they didn't change the build #, doesn't mean they didn't tweak programs in the ram disk, it could be that build # = kernel revisions. If I were you and I had a cwm installed I'd make a nandroid, ti back up all of your user apps (not system), pull both to a safe spot on your comp. Wait for the update to be available to install , test the apps your having problems with, if they work recover the ti backup and your good, if not restore your nandroid, and complain officially with out mentioning the leak

I was running ICS .211 and could not get Corporate Sync to work either. Worked great on BG and since I use my phone for work, I had to go back to GB.
I really hope they worked this out, or they are going to have a host of unhappy customers as soon as they push the OTA.
My GPS was fine FWIW.
Seems to me that perhaps they will be updating more than just ics for us.. And those updates were not in the leak..

Been running the .211 leak for about 6 hours. Have used GPS navigation in the car dock twice and it has worked perfectly each time. GPS lock achieved almost instantly.
Can't comment on the corp sync as I don't play that game.
Also, I find the comments about "stolen" software amusing. Perhaps when Google really gets their hooks in Moto they'll start to embrace the enthusiast community.

I fired up Nav and it locked onto my correct location almost immediately. I'm noticing the issue with a couple of weather widgets (stock and WeatherBug). Almost seems that after the phone goes to "sleep" for a bit it takes me from Wisconsin to Georgia lol...
When I fired up Google Maps after it thinks I'm in GA it shows me there as well (initially), then it will show me in my correct location.

ICS Isn't officially rolling out today despite what being said on VZW. Motorolla has stated already that the soak tests are rolling out today. IF all goes well with the soak (which I don't think it will as there are a couple of unresolved issues), then the OTA goes to the genral public next week.
Theres a bit of confusion on this. VZW stated on their twitter that its going out to all in batches, Motorola has stated "select users" starting today. I will believe Motorola because the soak for ICS hasn't started yet!

pointless question about the ota rollout

Here in Amish country, Lancaster, PA, the ota is still unavailable on my phone. How is the order of the rollout determined? Location? Date of purchase? If I were to magically beam myself to, say, New York City, would the update be available to me? This is just idle curiosity; I'm already running a recent leak.

Seriously, when my daughter and I were on Incredibles, and she was in Ohio and I was east of you in Montgomery County, PA, she got OTA's a full day ahead of me. I'm on a custom ROM, S-OFF now so I don't expect to get any OTA, or I'd report whether I'd gotten it by now.

You laugh but they all have cell phones!
My question is more about how the rollout sequence is determined. I'm not concerned about receiving the ota. If I wanted it today, I would just flash it. Also, from some other threads I believe running a leak does not, in itself, prevent the ota from loading. My understanding is that you need to be running stock recovery which I am. Those that are not able to load the ota are running AmonRa as far as I can tell.

If this is like other phones I've had, running a leak will stop you from getting the OTA. AFAIK, the OTA file isn't the full RUU we're seeing on the forums. It's basically a glorified diff file that requires you to be on a specific release, and stock top to bottom. In this case, the last GB release.

I am honestly thinking it is random. I am in Bismarck, ND, not a real center for technology, and have two Rezounds, one which was purchased shortly after launch on a business account and one that I just got in the last month. Both got the update within 15 minutes of each other (newer phone got it first, then well it was d/ling the other started), yet a friend with a Rezound across town still hasn't gotten it yet and he got his in February. My updates started just 12 hours after the first person claimed to get the OTA well lots of others haven't gotten it, even so far. So my vote is that the roll-out is actually just random.

Yes, he got his update this morning but it didn't push, he had to check and it was finally there this morning, updated the 7.1MB file and rebooted then within 2-3 minutes after complete boot up prompted him for the 299MB update and that went through fine. Last night (and multiple times for the last couple of days) checking yielded nothing, then this morning it was there and all went well.

Hey all,
As some of you have already noted, an update is available for the Samsung Galaxy SII.
The update includes fixes for devices that may become unresponsive and/or power down while sitting idle on rare occasions. It also enhances security to protect against malware vulnerability. You will receive a notification on your phone to update.
NOTE - You must have updated to Android version 4.0 to receive notification of the new software update

What a complete waste. Sprint just pushed 4.1.2 to their gs2.

By rare, they must mean multiple times a day... hope that finally fixes the problem...
Had my hopes up for JB even though I know the phone will not get it from AT&T.
I guess it is good that they are still trying to improve the phone.

There's at least as much cya and marketing motivation involved as anything else.
I previously rooted and flashed Siyah 4.3.3 which resolved my issue with the sleep of death. This seems to prevent this new update from installing as when the phone reboots it shows the Siyah boot image and then boots back into the OS, when I unlock the phone it tells me that the update failed to install. I'm not in a hurry to install an update that resolves something I've fixed through other means, but I thought I'd share for those interested.

You really shouldn't accept OTA updates unless you are 100% stock.

You really CAN'T accept them if you remove system bloat ware or change kernels far as I know.
Hopefully it fixes the SOD problem. I was getting ready to call or go to AT&T and demand I be let out of my contract.

That's the best joke I've heard today.

This has been happening to me for the past few months, on more than "rare occassions" though. I never knew what to call it until I saw people on here refer to it as Sleep of Death. Yep, sounds about right. And it would rapidly drain my battery when it happened.
I've successfully updated, so hopefully this will take care of it. It gets VERY annoying! And all the much worse since I use my phone for my alarm, haha. I have my wife's as a backup though.
Anyone pull the modem yet?

I'm only a curious now, about whether this fixes the SOD. After hours on the phone with ATT and Samsung, and a few factory resets and a new phone, it was still doing it. And each time I called them about it, they'd say they were not aware of such a problem. Anyway, not an issue anymore for me, since going to Task's AOKP ROM, which got me so many better features than an ATT update ever would have - warranty or no.
The only reason why this OTA was pushed was because a ton of users were posting this issue on the ATT forums for 4 months straight. Even then ATT pushes an OTA for 4.0.4 instead of using one of the many 4.1.2 firmwares from Samsung.

My understanding is that it is up to Samsung to produce the firmware, and because it's a carrier-branded device, I have a hard time believing that they'd do that unless instructed to.
Really? You think Samsung is the one making the decision? Its really the carrier.
Can someone pull the modem from this update? Pm or post a download link once extracted please.
