Its been many weeks since the new firmware went into final testing. So how is it coming? I understand there are people testing it? Are there any big problems? Why hasn't it been released already?
Any info on a ETA would be nice.
Cheers guys.
Edit: title updated
I dreamed we were getting Jellybean 4.1 and will be out no later than the middle of June but maybe sooner. Basically the same code Asus is putting into the Google Nexus 7 inch tablet due out towards the end of June.

It has been very quiet. Maybe they actually have noticed that the Prime does not perform like a quad core tablet should and they are seriously fixing the software. At least I hope so.

I was going to post a similar thread to this yesterday - It has been a while since it went in to testing.
I hope for a dramatic increase in speed when the update is eventually shipped! Anyways all speculation for now.

lol, is that what it is? I was wondering why you didn't just post it here! Makes sense now - yeah sorry i'm one of the ones clogging up your inbox - leave me till last i'm in no rush seen as my charger has decided to pack in
I guess Google is realizing just how buggy this chip is.
Hopefully, by implementing it for the Nexus tab, they will fix the issues without crippling the device too much.
..........
I have been pm'ed by a member asking if I had heard anything and thought I gotta be a little proactive here so bear with me. The pm did not upset me but thought I'd better put this out there anyway.
Please do not pm me asking if I have heard anything about the next update. I was kidding around with demandrin (dunno if I spelled that right) earlier in this thread and that was all it was. I don't get inside info from him nor will I ask him for it. My Prime is working better than it has been with .21. It isn't perfect but I am happy with it.
I PM'd you demandarin, I think I got the wrong idea about asking for updates, sorry for the PM!
Stewart
Ill answer everyone pm when I get home. IM still at work. too much to reply to from my phone.
Instead of PM'ing demandarin, how about one of the people who gets a response posts the information here so everyone can see?
Or if possible, is there an actual official Asus website devoted to tablets? I've looked in the past and have not found one. I think it would be more useful if I were giving and getting feedback to someone actually from Asus.

+1 to this.
The information drought isnt good for anybody, but, I think its very telling.Getting second hand information , is not only unreliable, generally it is not current or correct, regardless of what some people think.
Just got home from work. Do to the sheer number of pm's I got, I will just post here shortly. Have to run an errand real quick then will post. This info will be for those who wish to know or want to read it. There is a new developement which I will share also which might explain the delay. be back shortly

Well i am pleased to announce that with your help i have reached my goal and that i just purchesed my device and should recieve it some time next week, and with time permitting i will come out with a minior update to my last rom and then later a new rom. so thanks again
Hi Irus,
Glad to read this. Alhough I am on x7510 now, and you probably went for x7500, but I can tell you, I have gained and learned a lot from you.
Thanks.

Hopefully my raphael will soon come also. should be arriving around 6th sep.
Congrats Irus...your new Athena is well deserved!
Irus,
I would not worry about the folks that did not tell you who they were when they donated. You have a lot of people that are willing to help but do not want the publicity and would prefer to remain anonymous for many reasons. Glad to hear you are getting another device.

He took the first thread down without an explanation which was pretty rude. If he has taken down the second thread without leaving an explanation....now that would be inexcusable. It does not take much to leave a post explaining the reasons rather than leaving people high and dry.
Though he seems to be enjoying this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15284823&postcount=3759
Perhaps he is out partying and spending his donations
Why be so quick to automatically assume the worst in people? He probably took it down for a reason and I assume it will be back up soon. I followed the thread closely and there didn't seem to be any problems/turmoil.

The reason he took his first thread down was because of the pathetic prepubescents who were complaining about a lack of progress, late ETAs and other such stuff. He took it well and even apologised - something the majority of posters on that thread didn't deserve - in fact most deserved a slap.
His ROM - he can do what he likes with it, AFAIK. "Pretty rude"?? Live with it. The high and dry people can always choose another ROM. Or make their own....
What about the people who donated so that he could keep developing, read his sig...

Is this a fact or have you just made this up. Where did you read this?
And those that donated towards the further advancement of the rom will perhaps think twice before giving money again to him.
what a pr*ck, i donated £20 to him!!
hate people like him...
The guy honestly doesn't seem like a prick at all, so it's either coming back with a bang or he can't be bothered anymore. That's his decision. Personally I would only donate to a dev after they've shown commitment in the way of releases. This was only at 1.1.

who knows until we actually get the device in our hands. And we won't have it long enough to really tell a difference. Plus from what I understand the issues with WiFi was hardware related. The only people who will know are the reviewers. That said them releasing the update now makes me feel like yesterday was really supposed to be the launch which coincides with a lot of the early information.
I remember some reviewers mentioning that an update was pushed that improves performance and battery life. Maybe this is it...

You need 10 posts to do it in the dev section. You should be able to reply in the general or other sections. Why they can I am not sure. Are they doing it with a computer or by phone maybe?
Thanks. I don't mind I need 10 to post if that's the rule. I just wondering why some peoples, like me, has to follow that rule, but some don't required.
It could be the date they join. Some have been here forever with little to no posts.

I believe that the cutoff is around 2009 or older. Grandfather clause. Remember when there wasn't a "thanks" button?
Oh I see..... so this 10 post rule is something new (relatively). Thanks for the explanation.
Now I just have to work hard for my 10 posts.
I always wondered the same exact thing... I noticed some dude two days ago posting in the development and had 3 posts... I think under our profile there's a referral option so maybe they got referred my an existing member. That's my guess
Took me a year to get 10 post!

10 posts is a pain, but I understand they don't want everyone mucking up the Dev threads. Sometimes they are hard enough to keep up with what is going on in them.

if its something youre really going to consider, you have to invest in a good one. the initial investment in a starterkit will run you between $60-$90, but you ultimately save a ****ton of money AND health from there on out.
those crap ecigs from the convience store/mall kiosk are a horrible misrepresentation of the vaping world, dont buy those.
i can give you good recommendations if youre interested.

Hey guys, so this is just a little video I put together about the history of the prime!
I have a feeling that it should settle most of the flame wars. The bottom line is, although it is the best tablet out, I can't recommend it because of the "lottery" quality control asus has.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRVWjrbFwP0
Enjoy
Looking forward to part2
It's actually a very good and well done piece, IMHO.
It's good that this gets more mileage for Asus to really move its butt (not that they haven't, but they could do more).
You should have also mentioned the fact there still a lot of devices out there that exhibit none of the prevalent issues, as well as a lot of customers who are satisfied despite the issues (just to balance things a bit).
But, overall, as I've mentioned, it's a good piece.
Although it seems more than a few are wondering how Gary would feel about this Greg person you mentioned.

Sorry dude. I was searching for recent Asus Prime video. I don't have 1 yet but getting 1 soon. I wanted to share what I found because your video is right on to the point. A lot of people were hipped about this tablet but once they become owners all you read now is negative.
Update your first post when Review 2 is up. I'm hoping for in-depth review.
I liked the video, was right to the point and informative. I learned a lot about the Tegra 3 that I didn't know before. (I kinda jumped into the Prime without doing much research)
I haven't really had any issues w/ my Prime. GPS is weak compared with my Xoom, but works good enough. Wifi is also right on par w/ the Xoom. Been rooted and overclocked since I got it, and really its only shutoff once. (during a file transfer, kind of annoying)
Overall, its the best Android tablet I've used. (I've used quite a few)
Nice video. When can we expect PART 2 (full review)? Will Part 3 include the mods for WiFi and GPS?
Enjoyed your video. I'm really looking forward to Part 2.
Keep up the good work....
