Just a quick note for people in the UK that a new update is now available including the keyboard firmware update, been using for the past hour and keyboard is now functional and is not dropping out, nor does the WiFi issue seem to be there, there is no indicator for battery level of the dock that had been discussed in other threads.
cheers - checked first thing this am but nothing available. Will check again after work.
Good to know. At least we have a rough timeframe now; we're about a week behind US updates. (if the pattern holds of course)
the update was there waiting for me this morning......not got 50% charge though!
Update finished ..... will keep you posted on performance
thanks for the heads-up. Already noticing an improvement with the dock the dock firmware is to the 0209 version and there is no dock battery meter present so it looks like they shipped the most recent US update.

my dock still says 0207 after the update ????
Update downloaded this morning when I turned the TF on...
Will get it installed now I see others have updated successfully & post back.
[UPDATE] - Successfully updated to 8.2.3.13. Yay!
ok.... ignore my previous post.... i hadnt realised that the dock update was a separate install
im now on 0209 ....

After the tab updates and is plugged in a notification of a dock update shuld appear prompting you to start the update. try unplugging and re-attaching the dock and/or restarting the transformer if you don't get a notification...

Installed fine here as well
I don't have the dock, so I can't check on that. As for the rest, I haven't found big differences - but truth be told I had no strange issues to begin with, so...
yes got it here installed update for tablet and when it reboot it found the update for dock, not only has it solved the dock issues but the tablet seems alot more responsive and fluent.have to say this is great back up support from ASUS responding quickly to software bugs
yep..got it this morning...so far..so good...
Does it work on rooted device?
tablet and keyboard sucessfully updated, but prior to this update in 2 days of use I did not have any problem with the dock nor tablet.
The update is available also here in Italy bu I still didn't apply it on my transformer.
I am wondering if I will lose root and, in that case, if I will be able to root it again.
Updated this evening and all seems good. Is it me or does the asus keyboard have a better response now?

Same doubts here.....
Updated yesterday morning (in the UK) and this thing is awesome!!!! Bring on Honeycomb 3.1!!!
I updated yesterday evening and all went fine and quick. Before update only complaint I had was lag during typing on webpages but this doesn't seem to have been resolved at all as when typing on here it is a few seconds behind which means when I make a mistake I have to wait after every backspace which is annoying. Also it seems to lag more on web page scrolling, I swipe and then again wait. Will try again today after having powered it down and up again. Shame that they couldn't introduce the Caps lock light as a notification light like lit blinked during the update, that would be useful

Hello,
Just got my Asus Transformer 16GB from Walmart...so excited!!(ummm don't be jealous - you will get your own once it's available widely JK )
Ok - I turned on the TF - and does anyone know when/how long my TF will get the 3.1 push from Asus? Or I have to download from support.asus.com web site and manually update it
Thx,
rcjpth
Wondering the same thing here. I went ahead and downloaded the FW update at the asus website, but i can't get the tab to pick it up once i transfer it. I'm new at this so any help would be appreciated!
Same here.. I'm not even sure if it's currently wise to upgrade to 3.1 with all the issues people have noted it having.
No issues with 3.1 here and Asus actually pushed it to my device.

How long was it taken so your device received the update 3.1? I'm wondering should I be updating it manually?
Thx,
rcjpth
The update seems to be rolled out by algorithm unknown - some has had to wait days to a week before they receive their update, some get it immediatly.
I received mine the day after the official release in UK. I did a manual check just a few minutes to early, because I received a message that there where no updates available. A few minutes later I get the pop-up about a firmare update being available.
Took me just past an hour, make sure you have more than 50% battery.
I was out of range from 5/31 - 6/6 (evening)... When I returned it connected to my network and immediately DL'd the update - took about 10 minutes.
I have had my TF since May 5th, 32GB.

Same here. I guess I just have to be patient.
Got update on Thursday, as soon as I opened the box. WW version in Australia.
Yayyy - 2 hours, no update insight yet - no plan to root it because basically nothing special to run or backup - software or purchased apps are stored in market - be prepared for Netflix,,,patient and patient ---- one day Netflix will be played on Asus TF! hhehehe
Alright - I activated my Transformer at 2:55pm and now at 8:30pm it said it got the update - proceeded to the update
For my case, it took almost 5.5 hour to get the update delivered to my TF
Thx all

My 16GB had the update waiting when I first opened the box and turned it on. I went ahead and updated.
But then I found out you can't root with 3.1 yet, so I had to downgrade to 3.0.1 again so I could flash Primordial 3.1.
So don't even bother waiting for the OTA update since you won't be able to root anyway.
I got mine a week ago from Asus OTA. I went to check updates in Settings>About and it said none available, then shortly after I received a notification that an update was available.
Got my update earlier. I did a factory reset and after the initial setup, I went to try and check for update and it found it on my second attempt.
So far youtube has been fine. I dunno about battery life, yet. I've been using it pretty much all day so it's draining quickly.
Asus support have just told me that there will be a new firmware release on Friday.
The release "is expected to fix a couple of issues with 3.2 (apps related)."
I've asked if it fixes the compass calibration issue. Finger's crossed!
Let's hope it doesn't break root for the rest of us
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Great news. Thanks!
Let's see if I get the OTA after removing CWM.
Regards.
Sounds great!
Wish the problems I got would also solved with this version.
TF101 bug list.
Firmware : official 3.2
Model: TF101 16GB
1. Static(photo) shifted to left by 2/3. The right side became black. No problem for live wallpapers.
2. Short cut on home screen became black. Widget content is also black. Became normal after reboot.
3. If apk calls YouTube apk. The screen became half dark but not freezed. But TF101 YouTube apk still work fine.
4. Sometimes got messed lines on screen lower part. Disappear after running other apk.

If it cures the wifi problem, opera problem, adw problem, irritable bowel problem let me know and i'll install 3.2
Awesome ...wonder when will it have Netflix support though
Just don't install, right? I'm sure a dev will incorporate the additions to their respective roms
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
hopefully this will cure the dimming and apparent hang when you launch and reference an object with multiple viewers. Rotating the screen back and forth is getting a bit old.
You have to love the way Asus really stays on top of things with timely releases and bug fixes. It's why I bought an Asus instead of "that other brand".

Exactly. I didn't buy the Tab 10.1 because its still stuck on 3.1.... and also our keyboard dock just flat out pwns
Hopefully they will resolve some of the browser problems. Also the issue with having to rotate the screen after every power off.

I hope this too. I think they fixed some things while making 3G version firmware and it`s time to release them for the "regular" TF users. I hope they fix the browser because I spend 90% of my TF browsing. Hope it`s smooth and fix the rendering blocks on some sites.
I just rooted mine with Prime 1.7. It seems to be a bit laggy compared to the stock rom. How can I revert back to the stock, so that I could install this update when it comes out.
I wish they could fix the b70 thing so i can root my device!!

I bet there will be only one firmware for both models, WiFi only & 3G, because even the standard TF has a phone.apk.
Let's hope this time we'll see a real update. Last Friday they put 3.2 with release date 2011/08/12 on their website, but after I downloaded it to check, if it's really newer than the OTA relese, I found file date 2011/07/30 inside.
In my opinion the current release is a catastrophy, because of too many issues/bugs. That's why I refused to install it so far.
TF101 ftw!
OTA?
Is the upgrade OTA? Or will you need to do it manually?
Agreed, with the others who welcome the update, it has come pretty quickly. Making small incremental updates is the safest way to work, well done Asus.
I turned on the Iconia today at about 2:00 PM and I was greeted with then Update Available window. I downloaded the update and preformed the installation.
All went very very well and no hiccups. Typing this now on my A500 on HC 3.2.
For those interested, I'm in northern Virginia.
Build is:
ACER_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2
Been playing with it for a couple of hours now and so far it is all good.
Couple of things you notice right away is the touch screen operation seems to be much smoother. Mine also wakes up super fast from hibernation mode. You now get a little "SD Card Installed" icon in the notification bar when you boot up.

Got the update
I got my update today as well when I turned it on this morning. I'm in Northern Virginia as well. So far I like it. The browser seems a lot smother to me. I connected it to my laptop to see if I could see files on the external sd card. It showed up as an accessible drive, but none of the folders or files were displayed when I opened it up. I created a folder and it did show up in the file manager.
I was on stock 3.1, no root.
Received the OTA
I also received the OTA today as well. I'm just outside of Nashville, TN. I picked up my tab brand new about 3 months ago. Updated to the same build number as the op. No problems with 3.2 at all. Seems really stable and snappy. This tab has always been stock. Tried the newest build of Netflix for kicks, but no luck. Hopefully they will get it going soon without the need for root.
a lot of nova people on here!
3.2 still isn't rooted though right? wont be upgrading til thats done
got it yesterday (Guadalajara, Mexico). Where can I see the changelog?

You can install Taboonay 2.1 or the near stock ROM from ezterry if you want a rooted ROM based on the 3.2 OTA update. They use a different boot loader. Not sure how long it will be before the developers figure out how to crack the new boot loader, so don't perform the update yet if you think you might want to root it or install a custom ROM.
Look in the deveopers thread if you want more information on the ROMS.
I would be Glad to answer any questions on either one. I have tried them both and they are great. I prefer Taboonay 2.1 because I get to chooce the Acer stock apps I want and skip the ones I don't
Tethering with 3.2
After updating to 3.2 are you still able to tether? I have read where some are having issues getting tethering to work after the update.
Updated to 3.2, lost root, but I was mainly worried about that for Titanium Backup.
I can still tether to my Bionic, but haven't tried connecting to an ad hoc wifi AP yet
Got mine on Monday. No root or mods, never had any.
any update on the 3.2 root?

My message to Asus.
"[Problem Description]
After the latest firmware update which included Netflix and the app backup program, I
have found that the touch screen no longer is sensitive enough to pick up my stylus.
Prior to the update it worked near flawlessly for note taking and drawing apps. Now
however I am lucky if it picks it up at all. Manila input via my fingers still works well.
Also, the app backup app does not work at all. It consistently fails regardless of the
choices I make, whether it be data, data and app, or even the size of that I choose.
Please advise if these are known issues and if an update is in the works to rectify the
issues. Thank you."
Their message back.
"Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
We will release new FW 8.6.5.19 for this issue soon."
Just as a heads up for anyone also having these issues as I am.
I want the firmware with ICS please.
That would be nice.....but in the meantime I'd love to be able to use my stylus for handwritten notes again....

I really do suspect that they've halted the current update and will be pushing the new one instead... I know there seems to be conflicting information on that score, but why keep pushing a flawed update when you've already made a new one?

You're correct. On their fb page they said they temp stopped cuz of problems. This morning 8.6.5.19-20111107 is out.

A backup app? Haven't seen that? I wonder if that is in the update they pushed today.

yep just found it. 20 minutes?! Not doing that immediately
It definitely fixed the app backup....said 20 minutes...took more like 5. And my screen is sensitive enough to use the stylus again, though it doesn't seem quite as sensitive as it used to be. :-/ ah well...here's to a speedy update to ICS...^_^

I'm in Melbourne. it's on 2% only after about half an hour. My guess is that the servers are struggling
Got my upgraded just now. Soo far so good. Just testing out the apps and features. Gmail app is crashing a bit. Keyboard lag is much better
just woke up to find a download ready. Reasonably quick, guess not many people on at this hour If it fixes keyboard lag and nothing else I will be happy.
All installed and no issues so far.
Wifi good.
Bluetooth good.
No screen flicker issues.
App drawer is smooth scrolling in either orientation.
Keyboard lag seems to have gone.
All up, very pleased.

Well I've been using my A500 with ICS all day now. Absolutely love it! Feels like a brand new tablet! Factory reset got rid of all the junk I had accumulated, and ICS just feels so much more polished and complete.
No issues at all apart from browser sync (but I'm using chrome beta now anyway so I don't really care)
