Hi everyone,
release 6a is now available and it is supposed to correct VPN connection issues.
No mention from Sony of the unwanted powering off issues.

Got it too but not worth updating, don't use VPN and can't be bothered to re-root!

Well no Crashes/resets or wifi disconnects yet!!:good:
Anyone noticed anything worth installing for?
Other than a placebo affect
anyone tried updating with preserved root? I noticed the update is a small one hence won't over write the system folder. so if anyone with rooted Xperia tablet S updated to release 6a, please share your experience. did you get to keep root after update.?

Nope, unfortunately not. Root is gone.
Haven't tried rooting it again, yet, but as Sony did something to VPN i don't think it will work.
were you rooted before update and after it was gone?!
Yes i was rooted before, and yes it's gone now.
I'm gonna try rooting it again soon, maybe tonight.
Powering Off Issue
Had the issue where it would shut down and sent it to Sony Support. They have since sent it back "fixed". I can't say if it's gone or not because I still need to pick it up from the post office. They said that it was a software problem and they fixed it (as well as replace the back cover). Will let you all know if it's gone. Perhaps hidden in the release 6a update is the fix for this?

I sent my Xperia Tablet S in for the same reason, all they did was replace the back panel, they claimed there were no software problems, but they have me unconvinced. It still shuts off randomly, mostly while watching something on the YouTube app. The update seemed to only have fixed the wifi disconnects, and VPN issues. I think it's something in the firmware that Sony needs to fix before the shut down problem will be fixed.

Here is the Update file directly from the cache folder:
http://db.tt/yAFWWwuk
Place it in your cache folder and the update should be recognized.
If you don't have root access yet, try to rename it to DE_epad-9.4.2.11-20120117.zip and copy it to the root directory of a microSD-card. This may also trigger the update (untested).
If it works for you, please let us know.
Good luck!
Experience on my ICS-Prime: So far very good, but haven't got much time to do the testing yet. It's smooth and fast.
Updated this morning but not with your file, just the normal update procedure!
Experience:
Really fast but still no GPS, even though the new GPS drivers are implemented.

I already downloaded it and i'm loving it ! Don't see any changes with GPS (I didn't have any problems before the update) and for now it's all good.
EDIT: No face unlock for us ? ;/
Does doing it this way allow you to keep root?

Don't think so. OTA unrooted my device, since the update process is the same regardless the way the update file enters your device, it will be the same for you.
You'll have to reroot.

Anyone else can't play glowball, or any tegra game since the upgrade?

No problem with Glowball, Shadow Gun THD or Riptide HD at all.
no glowball for me... it dont work for me... close without a fc message
I think I read someone say there is an update available for glowball in the market that will get it running again.
i got ics update today too and a second update for gps or so... since the ics update I have no longer some special german letters like ä,ü,ö shown in browsers and on websites (firefox, android browser and maxthon), I don't have the @ in browser over keyboard and all tegra games will close after a few seconds of loading. I've allready contacted asus about the BETA ICS in my eyes. as I wrote the message to asus, I found 2 more buggs while writing and editing the text. when you write text between finished lines and press "blank", the cursor jumps to the end of the text, so you have after every fu****** word going back to the position where you have written in... and after writing some words faster (I can really write fast XD) the TOUCHPAD is active for some seconds?!?!?! This is not really funny, if you need this tablet for work.... . I bought my prime in austria... .
[edit] before upgrading I've temp unrooted the device with voodoo and restored the su-binaries successfully after updating. no rerooting in ICS needed

I may have updated that before updating to ICS, not quite sure about it.
Received the new fw also here in Denmark, German device
All seems fine. More testing later.
I still wished I could have a WW device not DE though.
You received it? ...official update?

Manual update is not possible. So i will start a RMA for the serial number problem. No way that i want to wait a week until they put the Update onto their servers.

Thanks but what I mean is does doing it by putting the files in the cache folder stop you restoring the root in the same way that installing the .zip from the sdcard directory does.

Is there an easy way to revert back from the latest ASUS update released on 2/8/12?
This update jacked up Youtube and I can no longer see additional wi-fi hotspots.

Ok...so first off, no, you can't roll back. We don't have recovery yet, so no.
Secondly, I believe the youtube problem has been found to not be the result of the update, but on their server side.
As far as the remaining problem, not sure I can help you there without more info.

I have updated into us_epad-9.4.2.13 on my Asus and when it turn into stand by mode, it switch off itself, then I have to reboot.
Also, the life battery goes out in few hours.
Has anybody solution to downgrade to 11.1?

I have the same issue as well.

hey everyone, i just bought a transformer prime from staples.com 3 days ago and now it mysteriously won't turn on anymore?
I was using it fine and set it down, then tried to use it again and it just wont turn on, I know for a fact that the battery is 100% charged.
My question is should i go through ASUS and RMA it or just send it back to staples.com?
thanks in advance.

please excuse my ignorance, but what and where would i find the FW?
FW = Firmware
Settings/about tablet
Should look like this:

IML74K.US_epad-9.5.2.21-20120323
.21 is the latest update

Hello, I bought a Dell Venue 8, 3 days ago..
while I checked the android version, it says its still in 4.2..
I checked for updates and it says, it is up to date..
I saw a manual update but can't risk too much because its new.. any other ways to update to 4.4..
I saw people with 4.3 and 4.4 KitKat..
Why is it so? and only me?
And also when I use MapFactor Navigator for the Tab, it says searching for GPS.. and its the same with Google Navigation..
Why is it so? Is there a fix?
The touchscreen is also unresponsive sometimes..

Dell pulled all of the OTA updates because they were causing problems, and the touchscreen problem is a known issue, only way to update is to use SDC's toolkit

So, how do I use this?
And if Dell pulled back these.. it maybe buggy right?
Thanks for the reply..
I also found a way to use 3g modem in my tablet.. but the thing is that when I go to access point names and add a new APN, i can't get to save it.. why?
I just got my v8 back from dell after a hardware fix (cracking noise on the back of the tablet). Anyway, I had it OTA updated to 4.4.2 before I sent it to them and now it came back with 4.2.2... I hope they are going to push the update out again sometime soon with all screen or other issue fixed.

What about the 3G Dongle?
The GPS Issue was fixed.. actually I was inside my home when I did it... It was fixed when I go outside..
I have an issue with the headphone jack. I use third party headphones (I dont have the stock Sony ones) and when I plug them in, the sound comes out of the phone's external speaker most of the time. I get the symbol in the status bar to say 'Headset connected'. Sometimes the sound DOES come out of the headphones but seemingly randomly! Tried different headphones and applications on the phone. I have used Sony's Update Service software to download and reinstall the latest ROM but this has not fixed the problem.. My Ultra is on 4.4.2, buildd number: 14.3.A.0.757
Anyone had this issue?
Thanks!
I didnt have this issue by my c6802 and a stock headphone with rom version as you have, before i heared some peaple had this problem with other version(lower build number,i think) maybe this is of your nonstock headphone. Why didnt update to newer 14.4.a.0.108? Maybe it disapear againe.

if you feel comfortable you could flash a generic FTF so you are on the latest 4.4.4 (xxxx.108) firmware from sony. You dont have to be rooted to do this.

Yes I could do that but only worth it really if it actuall resolves the problem. I had a Z ultra last year and that one didn't have this issue. I think I will give that 4.4.4 a go this weekend - do you know if it would affect warranty at all?
Thanks

It might, depending on the service centre.
Have a search about speaker/headset issues, I think it only affected 4.4.2 and that was updated quite quick and resolved the issue for most people that had the problem

believe me it has for almost all users (the ones that haven't fixed the issue probably have a user error). there would still be outcry on here if it hadn't
Yes i have some apple earpods which work some of the time and some Astro A30s which dont work at all.

happened to me after having xzu for 3 or so months - I got a new warranty replacement (had a 6802, received a new 6833 ftw)
This happened once last week when I plugged the stock earplugs in when I also received a message, and it played the audio through the external speakers. I unplugged it and plugged it again, and it was back to normal. Probably a glitch in the matrix.
I have a C6833 and this problem started a few months back with my device.
Now it happens about every time I pause the music. When I hit play or resume the audio is coming from the internal speaker so I have to unplug the cable and plug it back in and that solves the problem at least for the moment. Some days my device does what it suppose to do just great. And other periods it just sends the stream back to the internal speaker all the time whenever I pause the music.
I have flashed the latest .108 but problem still exists. It might be some error with the hardware what do I know. For now I won't take the time to send it in for service. Perhaps I will send it to repair right before my warranty expires just to make some use of it
I use the stock headphones, and some Apple just some generic Apple earphones that you receive in the box when you buy an Iphone 5 or later
I have the sbh52 and the headphones that came with that work perfectly so far. Apple earpods work some of the time and Astro A30s dont work at all. Whuch makes me think its software.
