How many people took the OTA as opposed to hoping for a miracle with root in the next couple of days and did you see any improvements
I received and installed the update immediately so I dont know any difference.
I accepted the OTA but, my Prime had no GPS, weak wifi, light bleeding, and a charging cable that was falling apart so this thing was going back to Best Buy the next day. I just wanted to see if it would fix the first two issues since I had nothing to lose. As far as I could tell it did not make any difference.
I installed as soon as I got the tablet, no base line to compare.
So I just got my champagne 32gb from tigerdirect (came next day surprisingly) and it has 3.2 HC. As soon as I connected it to my wifi, it started downloading ICS, and I didnt know how to stop it (aside from turning off wi-fi). I tried shutting down DMClient, that didnt work. Now it's downloaded and my battery is below 15% so it wont install it.
How do I cancel this whole process or delete the new firmware? I want to keep HC as long as possible to see if my Prime has a hardware issue. Can I disable this auto-update firmware or is it just going to keep downloading it over and over? Help would be appreciated, and welcome back to everyone after the blackout.

If you want to find out if you have a Prime that should be returned you should upgrade to ICS anyway if it borks it return it thats what I did and now I have one thats flawless with ICS.
It will keep downloading over and over.. you can do 3 delays of it.
However, there is a way, pretty positive you must be rooted, where you can use TiTanium Backup and "freeze" the updater file before it runs & updates.

I thought you had to load ICS to be sure you had a bum unit or not?
Has anyone in Canada gotten the update yet? I haven't had either of the two recent updates, live in BC, I hit the refresh button looking for new updates nothing ever shows up.

The update will be available this week sometime. Also, the .13 update has been by passed and instead you will just go straight to .14
Canadian update is NOW .14 is...
Yep, didn't fix GPS
Yes, i just got the update this morning. So far so good but its to early to tell for sure if everything is okay.
Mind you i never had any problems before either so am keeping my fingers crossed.
Any Canadians here have a working GPS? With or without new update?

Did your update come down automatically, or did you have to do a system firmware update from about tablet. I am in Montreal and have not seen it come down automatically (C1OKAS serial number)
Thanks for responding in advance
I was on .11 with C10KOS WW SKU TFB (Wow that's not even English anymore ) and I did a manual check for system update around 8:15 AM EST and found the .14 update. Its a tiny download and I have been running it for about 1.5 hrs now with no problems.
- Wifi is better
- No random reboots or problems during update. Actually, I didn't have any of the problems listed on some of the threads with my TFB (i.e. Random Reboots, Screen bleeds, wifi or GPS problems).
- Didn't factory reset before or after the update.
Hope that helps
For Me:
WW Model (Canada)
Got the .14 update (prev had .11)
Not rooted
Prev: With heavy use about 1 reboot a day and it would always reboot after 20-22 min of watching netflix.
Did the update, didn't reset anything.
Was able to watch netflix for over 30 minutes without issue.
So far so good.
My GPS was very very weak from the beginning. Maybe 1 sat when outside. But I didn't buy a tablet for heavy gps use.
Just updated, no glitches, re-rooted with voodoo, checked setcpu and Im still at 1.6ghz
I have BCOKAS01, was on .11 with no problems except gps, rooted.
I'm stuck at 99% but will keep waiting. Running .11 right now.
I'm a C1OKA and despite a gps that has never seen a bird I've had no problems. My wifi is weaker than other devices in my home,but totally usable. The browser hangs a few times a day but only for a moment. I have no light bleeding or rebooting issues.
I must say i am happy so far. As long as firmware updates don't render my prime unusable I plan on keeping mine. Will update later.
I have been getting all updates the same day its out on the forums automatically without manual update checks. I have c1 bought from canada Computers
No prpblems until. 13 (reboots, sleep of death, and bad battery life)but now that I have been on. 14, there hasn't been any troubles
Took mine this morning. I hit the postpone button for 1 day but it popped up again 10 minutes later (and did the same the next two times I hit postpone) so I had no choice since I'm not rooted.
So far it seems to be at least as good as .11 though it hasn't been running for long.
I had absolutely no trouble on .11 either, which is why I didn't really want to update.
So far so good.

THe update has been installed but now my tablet doesn't boot ... infinite loop of going from Asus Loading screen with the spinner to the "Eee pad" screen ...
I'll try rebooting it in 5 minutes if it's still in this state, don't want to mess with the update
Edit : Even after factory reset, it still doesn't boot.
My only guess is that somehow the update ate up all the battery and now the system doesn't think there's enough battery to first boot after a firmware update ...
Will have to wait tonight to get my charger, hopefully it's this, otherwise it broke my tablet

Thanks, but that didn't help ... maybe waiting for the battery to run out and then charging it again will fix it ... otherwise I'm good for RMA

Ok updated fine after hanging at 99 percent dl for 15 mins. I've seen no noticeable change in function at all in last 90mins of use. No reboots or problems, yet. Fingers crossed.

Still no GPS, but that is no surprise.

Sounds like you have the US version. The WW versions did not go through the .13 update.
my WW model received update today
i got the update this morning to .14 from .12....so good so far.....
Check this out When I first fired my new tablet up today it was on Honeycomb and I was shocked I have been through like 6 of these and I was getting good reception with this one. I could go to the furthest part away from my router and get 16-18MB/s download all other primes I have owned in the past would get 2-4MB/s. I thought that I finally got a good prime. yes! but that was not to be after upgrading to ICS I'm now getting the same old results as all my other tablets I've had problems with and had to send back or return. DAMMIT MAN!!!!
For the first time I really don't think its all the backplate only causing weak WiFi issues I haven't checked WiFi and BT together yet but its probably shot now too. F**K its, ICS and Asus don't have it running right. Nothing changed hardware wise on my tablet, so how can it be a hardware issue. I'm telling you I used to be fully on the bandwagon saying it was the backplate but how can that be its the same tablet I was getting good results with Honeycomb 20mb download then after these firmware upgrades I get 4MB download from same spot tested about 10X each. I tested it first thing as soon as I opened it with honeycomb and had these great results. Then upgraded to ICS and went to hell. Asus really needs to get to looking into other issues something broke from Honeycomb to ICS and they need to figure it out.
I got another Prime coming this week for backup and if it arrives with Honeycomb with the same results I will not upgrade it. I will have to stick with honeycomb. So Asus needs to quit blaming this on the backplate its the firmware upgrades that they cant get right.
Question - Can I downgrade back to Honeycomb with a blob file or something if so can someone tell me where to look Ive been searching.

So here's what's going on...
I was working outside today, out of range of my router, and I noticed that my phone was..... rather warm. I have the OtterBox case without the holster, so if I can tell it's hot, I know something is wrong. I checked my connections, and my EVO was refusing to recognize any close networks (mine or my neighbors') and there was no data connection to boot. I've been running the CM 10.1 M2 for a week or so, but I hadn't made any changes to the ROM or kernel or anything in well over a week.
As a typical PC user, my first thought was "restart". I mean, it's barely functional as it is; how much worse can it get?
That was 8 hrs ago. I've re-installed all of my Nandroids (the one I made before flashing my first ROM, a MeanBean, and a CM backup) to no avail. Those don't even make it past the boot ani. The most recent CM nightly gets the furthest; if I can skip Wifi and Google account setup, I can get about 2 minutes out of it before the back (right above the kickstand) gets remarkably hot and the phone locks and reboots. I've downgraded TWRP to 2.3.3.0 and wiped that way. I'm just short of going the RUU route, but I'm S-Off so I don't know the effect that might have.
I'm looking for any answers you may have, forum. Could it be a faulty wifi radio causing the issue? If so, why can't I get any data connections either?
Headed to bed for tonight; here's hoping we can get it worked out soon. Back on the Opti S for tomorrow. Thanks in advance!
