Finally updating my tablet to 3.2!!
I'm going to update my findings once I install and reboot.
Keep all findings in Here!
Netflix?
I was under the impression that there would be a native netflix app installed with this firmware? Am I missing something? Don't see it installed, nor does it show up in the market.
Just got mine in CA. Didn't notice any speed improvements, mine was pretty snappy to begin with. Did notice a few minor changes in settings and that was about it.
Better scrolling in browser.
dang it, no netflix even with the version i nabbed on market plae after the 3.1 update. Battery usage works now ... going to try hbo go.
Still no update in Texas, though I hear it may be based on serial numbers.
Mine seems a lot snappier, especially on the home screen, B60
I'm officially disappointed with Android 3.2 update. It does not bring anything important to the transformer... I'm more disappointed with Android 3.2 than Android 3.1 update. I just hope this will fix the random reboot issue...

GMAIL WIDGET HAS RETURNED!
Forgive the shouting. All caps was necessary to show my excitement.
Does the android market have a movie tab now?

Someone get the URL to the firmware. so we can just download it!
Downloading firmware now. I'm SoCal.
omg...the stupid circle for a mouse is killing me...who thought that was all cool?...and now my keyboard is all laggy...is there a way for us to get the old mouse pointer?
Nope, the update didn't fix the most glaring issue.
It's still not an iPad.
Update applied. Now we just need to get it rooted lol.
Beamed from my Transformer.
I got the update but half way through the install it goes the the android and the triangle with the ! In it, I'm assuming its cause I'm rooted?

tried the app zoom rendering. Loaded up mrs pacman bc I knew it didn't render properly. Now you get a notification that it will zoom but still doesn't work. There is even a toggle in the status bar to toggle between zoom and stretch. Neither worked on the game.
Also getting an error that swype is not correct for the screen size everyone I pull it up.

Now that 3.1 is finally out is everyone pretty satisfied with it? I know I am. Seems like a very smooth tablet experience now. Feel sorry for the guys who traded in there Iconia's and couldn't wait for the update.
It's pretty good, although my A500 was already pretty responsive with 3.0. Still, I do notice a slight improvement.

One of the biggest improvements i noticed off the bat was youtube. Loads great now without stuttering.
I gotta say the mouse support is pretty spiffy. Overall it seems a lot smoother and snappier. I haven't tested it fully yet, but video support is definately better. It now seems to play all the videos that my Gtab plays. The one semi-disappointment is that while some widgets can be re-sized, I can't seem to make them smaller. They go bigger no problem, but smaller is a no-go on all the ones i've tried.

Why do you say that? If anything I feel sorry for you that it took you so long to experience 3.1.

Im talking about the people who got rid of there Iconia and couldn't wait for an update to be released. I'm not hating on the Chinese version or the Asus version of 3.1
I love it know and my YouTube plays nice...

anyone having problems with mouse support? my mouse at the office doesn't work but the one I have at home works perfectly!
don't notice any difference
To be honest I don't really notice a difference. After the first rebot I actually found the performance slower. Rebooted once more and it now runs much like it did before. I think I'm one of the fortunate ones who didn't experience any issues under 3.0.1.
No support for Xbox 360 controllers at this point, the ring just keeps blinking.

It seems like it fixed cell stand by issue
Mine is rooted running Virtuous Asus w/Thor's latest. I have not seen, read, or experienced anything that has convinced me to jump on 3.1. I am very happy to keep my current rig and wait for a nice stable custom ROM.
I can now plug my digital camera into the A500 and with 1 click have all my pics download
it is a nice improvement from 3.0 . Then again this would be my first real update on any android software going back to the original mt3g days.
I have noticed that my wifi icon shows that I have horrible connection even when I'm next to the router. Snappier, nicer, better feel I am glad I forced my wife to buy this and the fact that xda talks all about this unit.
If it was not for y'all I would be lost.
*typed from Acer a500
Although my tablet does seem a bit smoother now, it refuses to play any of my videos i put on there (moboplayer, arcmediapro, act 1, rockplayer lite, none seem to work now?) gonna try moving the vids to "movies" folder and trying the stock player and see what happens.
Is it me or does it seem that the random shut downs are not happening anymore with 3.1?
Im monitoring for a while now, i havent had none yet.
It was the only thing i was bothered with a bit, but it would never occur to me, to trade the A500 for another tablet, im loving it since day one.

One thing I've noticed is video playback is a lot better. Rockplayer lite and moboplayer work fine on mine although mobo sometimes fcs. I'm sure rockplayer didn't let me play vids in hardware decoding mode before. It would always fail but now it works.

I had the same issue in Moboplayer and change the settings to be "Soft decoding by default" This seems to have fixed the issue.

Since 3.1 I seem to get randomly booted out of the browser, but not a proper force close. I do lose all open tabs.
Also the onscreen keyboard now seems a lot more laggy
3.1 wass not bad. Better than 3.01, but still a little sluggish compared to virtuous galaxy. I am headed back to that rom.
Our new OTA 3.1 build number 8.4.4.11 has been released and we should provide a source for members to see exactly what has changed. Members have noticed some of these:
Overall better stability
Powered by NVidia splash screen with spinning wheel during boot
Option to remove keyboard message
Volume fix
Speaker balance fix
Smoother transition between home screens
Added Tegra Zone app
Added Video App (Google rentals available only in US)
MP4 video playback smooth
WiFi better
Microphone improvement
Screen color improvement
Netflix shows up in Market but still does not work
Typing lag still present
Please add your findings!
UPDATE: Thanks to one of our members @Fixter for finding this on the Internet!
"Asus has release a new Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) update for Asus Eee Pad Transformer… Sadly this is not Android Honeycomb 3.2 update and nothing new for the keyboard dock also… According to the report all around the world the new update increase the volume sound, smooth transition between home screens and an option to disable pop-up notification when not using Asus Keyboard while docking…"

Not much difference
Volume issue not fixed
Still keyboard lag
Zinio was already there
Video added
Weather location and update still a problem on home screen.
Thanks jviola, everyone keep your findings coming!
Overall its a welcomed update, everything seems to run smoother now, I have a feelig this upate was designed to path the way for 3.2 ( that would explain why we can use the Netflix app but not stream).

Maybe. I do have 3.2 on my Xoom and Netflix still doesn't even show up in the Market...
Speaker balance fixed.
Volume louder.
GUI/Browser seem snapier.
Lag still present on stock browser.
Rotation from landscapeto portrait seems faster.
Don't lknow how many of this are due to subject impressions ratger than actual improvements .

I know there have been changes, but I think too many are suffering from the pacebo affects. I wonder if ASUS engineers are laughing right now.

Yes, some of the findings may be placebo effects but when everyone chimes in, we will be able to sort out the real changes. That is the idea of the thread.
The Netflix app shows my queue, allows me to search and add to my queue, has recommendations, etc. It's just that when I go to play a movie it spins and then says there is a network error. I think we're getting Netflix very, very soon.

Could be, but I know I was getting a bit frustrated with overall performance (delays, lags, hesitation, etc.) and don't seem to feel the same way now. I do think things are a bit smoother, but that could also just be the post-update effect. We'll see how it runs after a few days of use.
is the market still not showing movies?

You have to use the Videos app
Homescreen switching seems smoother, but that could definitely be placebo.
I had an issue where if the tablet was docked to the keyboard and I flip it open, the screen wouldn't read the unlock pattern for the first second or two (green lines don't show up over the dots and nothing happens). This appears to be fixed.
@jhanford reported in the "Just Got an OTA Update" thread:
So this is easily more than just a kernel update.
In addition to the kernel, there's 94 patches in /system/app alone with another 80 patches throughout the rest of the filesystem!
That's pretty impressive for an interim release especially if they do release 3.2 in the next couple of weeks.
Awesome!
The only thing I noticed out of everything is better wifi signals (through speedtests and router signal checking). I don't really know much about the rest since I took the OTA and selectively applied some patches to my Prime 1.5 ROM by using bsdiff to apply the .p files. (it has to be done with the original 8445 files, not prime 1.5 files because some prime 1.5 files are based on 8447 CN, bsdiff patch files doesn't have a md5 or crc32 hash stored on the patch file so it doesn't check for original file integrity before patching)
The update most definitely fixed my deep sleep/power on issue. A single press of the power button brings my Transformer to attention now...every time. Prior to the update, I had to press the power button multiple times.
Homescreen transitions are also very smooth now.
Im still on 3.0 it never wants to update Idk why. Any suggestion

Are you sure about the Battery Dock issue fix? Would be pretty awesome, but I don't really believe it. I'm at Prime 1.5 atm so I cannot test it myself. Can anyone confirm this fix?
I believe it's been around for about a week now, and I already see posts about a new wi-fi issue and the stock browser freezing. I'm well aware of the issues that were caused by the 3.1 update since ive had this tablet since 3.0, so I figured i'd come here to see what to expect if I take the plunge.
i'd love to know anything yall can tell me, but did they at least fix the old wifi glitch? and what's the story on the new one?
anyone? bueller?
After I updated a couple weird things.
I play Live holdem poker on it and the poker game keeps refreshing.
When it does it makes me fold the hand.
Had some great hands that got folded.
I also keep getting a "server timed out," or similar while on the net when it did not.
update; internet not timing out now.
The game is still folding my hands.
No problem with the game on my other tablet.
Otherwise everything is working good.
Been doing 3.2 for a while now, and no problems come to mind for me.

I guess that's why every so often I see service started or similar in the notification bar.
I do not notice any problem with it while on the net.
Just that one game keeps refreshing.
I have another poker game that does not do it at all.
I wouldn't mind it except that it has folded my hand at times when they were sure winners.
Videos occasionally stutter and jump frames, while audio remains fine. Happens a lot in YouTube.
Speaking of YouTube, it crashes a lot. Not force closes, but hangs for a bit and then goes back to the main YouTube screen.

You can blame that on a "cooked" ROM, I "believe" the OP was asking about stock 3.2, but I could be mistaken.
those issues were observed with cooked roms and with stock

If you already upgraded to 3.2 and lost your root, you can rollback to stock 3.0, then install one of the custom 3.2 ROMS in the developer’s thread that are rooted. They use a different boot loader and if you prefer stock, there are some ROMs that are very near stock. It might be a while before the devs crack the new boot loader.
I'm still seeing the stock music player not advancing to the next track if the screen is off... I know, there are other player options that don't have this issue, but it's still crap that the standard player is effectively useless and behaves differently than most music players on most phones/tablets.

Now that we have a way to install rooted 3.2 regardless of the bootloader there is little sense to continue trying to crack the new bootloader. The same happened with the Desire HD - once there was a way to downgrade, rooting was abandoned. I too prefer to have a way of rooting instead of downgrading, but it seems that downgrading is the easier path.
On topic: I have no issues whatsoever with the rooted near-stock 3.2 ROM. No wifi dropouts (not that I had any with 3.0 or 3.1) or anything like that.

I have had issues with 3.1 WIFI but it seems to be gone with 3.2
just loaded the 3.2 update and noticed that when I plug it in via USB to my laptop it sees both cads but it won't open the SD card. It registers the space used but won't display the content. Any thoughts?
Not rooted.
I got tired of waiting for the 3.2 update and decided to install a custom 3.2 ROM. Everything works great and I did have the short battery life issue mentioned in this thread..... I found it was all due to Wifi being set to always on. After I fixed that my battery life is excellent.
I get dropped hands in poker too but it's usually when I am in a weak wifi area of my house.
kjy2010 - use search.
klaus9000 - could you please tell me what do you have fixed regarding the wifi always on issue?
Just got a new 10.1 yesterday and gave myself a day to see how much I like it. Speed is always a big deal for me. Im actually typing from the tab now. The keyboard isnt too bad, but I dont see a autocorrection so far, but have not looked into it. The speed of the Touchwiz and homescreens is much better than most had me believe. I dont have any lag between the tapping of the arrow and the animation to show the quick apps.
The tablet also came fully updated, as far as the tablet shows through the update wizard. I will eventually check up the dev section and make sure I have the latest update today or tomorrow. The touchscreen does show a bit of lag as far as drawing with the fingers but isnt too bad and rougly on course with the A100 from Acer, my previous tablet. Battery is also great, and came 50% charged when I bought it, and didnt drop below 40% for the 4 hours I had used it before throwing it on the charger and watching some youtube and netflix.
Anyways, that was a quick review, and I love the tablet as of right now, when I thought the Tw UX was going to be a pain, but hasshown to be opposite and not too bad.
Thanks,
Mike
I just ordered one of these. I dunno if I'll get it since the contract was too good to be true. Nonetheless, if it get it, it'll be a worthy successor to my übermodified ZTE Light.
try ADWlauncher ....is the best by far for interface
Go launcher HD... not on market, Google it .
It works flawlessly.

You should get "ADWlauncher Ex"
It's a very good launcher replacement, better than the stock one.
For the keyboard, you can try Thumb Keyboard
both apps aren't free... but it's worth it

Thanks all forth replies. I havebthe thumb keyboard already, but don't need a new launcher or anything yet, since the stock is working perfect. The next next thing I'm waiting on is the ics update in the coming months. I do plan to root this soon, but won't use an ics Rom since I use the cameras often. I may throw Task or overcome on this instead while I wait. Overall a very good tablet, and the detail is amazing as far as the resolution and everything else goes.

I have never liked ADW launcher and tried the Go HD launcher today and I don't like it either.. I'm with you, I enjoy the stock one the best..
Thumb Keyboard ROCKS and so does HD Widgets and Reader HD..
Task 14 is just as fast as ICS and its rock solid and stable...
Enjoy the Tab, I still love mine 6 months after buying it...
Mine came with Swype built in (a TMobile tab) and I rooted it, and uninstalled the installed version and use the newest one from their site. I just love the black keys.

If you're needing help with the hard disk, you need to search first, and then if nothing is found make a new thread in Q&A section.

If you are on HC 3.2 you are alright, but if still on 3.1 I'd news astonished if you liked the touch wiz. It its just horrible. ADW EX its the lightest and the most heavily customisable. The most appealing is spb 3d. It its amazing but uses more ram.
However congrats for your new tab and hope you enjoy it;-)

The stock experience was great. Im using task 14 now and honestly don't see very much improvement in speed, but I always love a custom rom and root. Honestly I prefer stock launchers over custom ones for no apparent reason .
I haven't gotten the update yet but for those who have, please share impressions. Good, bad or whatever. Given how underwhelming stock ICS is on this tab, I wonder how stock JB stacks. I'm glad this is officially out because chances are I'll resort to an official JB custom ROM that'll make this tab sing than stick with stock.

Just got the update. I've tooled around just a few minutes, but other than the unlock function, I can't really see much different. It definitely is not an overwhelming change like ICS was for me. I'll come back with more as I spend more time with it.
I am looking forward to installing Google Now, however, that would be great on my Razr Maxx too.

Some changes i've noticed:
- it runs smoother than .30, really smoother, at least smoother. i noticed slow-ness when open quickoffice hd in power saving mode when it was .30, now with the same power saving mode, it's faster (like about 2-3 seconds), quickoffice is kinda a heavy apps i think, of course you won't have any problem in balanced or performance mode.
- new animation when open or exit apps, and i like it, of course the animation runs smooth too
- you can now disable the smartdimmer feature in settings->asus customized settings (thanks to jgaf he figured out this)
- because of google new voice search, we now have a new text-to-speech engine (the same as google voice search), and she sounds "sweet", the old one is gone, imo the old one sucks, can't really here anything, this new one is better than siri, sounds better, at least with the English US i believe.
- of course we have a new google voice search and google now, which is the feature i've been waiting for, help me practice my english
- looks like google has changed the "Tab UI" a little bit, for example: on .30 firmware, when you go to settings->apps you see "Downloaded", "Running", "All", to switch between these "tabs" you have to tap on them, but now with jelly bean, you can swipe left and right to switch, also the "tab menu" looks nicer (like windows phone i think)
so... no flash player with this update?? I think i might skip it just because of that.

If you had flash already installed you don't need to worry about it. I still have flash player and it works.

Same as nooktablet with about 300MB free after. I usually had 500-600MB before.
And I unrooted without Voodoo before the update. Not able to root at this point.

Do you notice any performance issues when you are running your usual apps or games as compared to before?
The browser doesn't do all of the lag dancing that it used to do. Haven't seen the wait/close dialog yet. There's some different animations in your installed apps section the Play store when updating an app. ES File Explorer seems to be having some issues though as it's forced closed twice while trying to copy files from my home network, something I've never seen ever. Been using it on three phones and this tablet and never experienced a problem until now.
