A week used to seem like a long time when I was....Hmmm... Like 10 years old

Is the kernel improved?
Or should we still wait for a tf101 OTA to fix the sods random reboots etc etc

More likely to be increasing the pool of Beta testers

I installed the this firmware update. It isn't fixing the WIFI and GPS problem.
Release notes from ASUS:
"Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 Firmware: V9.4.2.21 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.0.3)
V9.4.2.21 Release Note
1. Upgrade Google Mobile Applications
2. Upgrade Vibe version
3. New browser function which able to keep user’s choice of browser viewing type
4. Enable battery usage data in Settings.
5. New display mode of HDMI output
6. Enable press-able notification in lock screen
7. Support Wi-Fi Ad hoc mode
8. Add new system bar lock function"
Firmware info, may be read under ASUS DL section.
I noticed a small improvement to the known WIFI problem. I can now get "3 WIFI bars" in locations where I previously only got "2 WIFI" bars. Apparently this fix doesn't involve an improvement to the GPS problem.
Despite these known problem, I am actually very satisfied with my TF201.

Indeed, my bad sorry.

anything new?

I just hope that you owners of the TF101G won't get the same bugs we are experiencing at the moment on TF101.
I just don't understand Asus' strategy on this issue, they have lots of ICS TF101, almost everyone encounters issues at one moment or another. It clearly comes from ICS, as HC was rock solid (stability-wise) and they go on upgrading every available hardware as if everything was just fine ... forcing the update without letting customers the choice do it or not.
I use my TF101 for leisure, but I think there are some people around using for work, and the situation Asus created is just unacceptable.
Asus should fix the problem before continuing the deployment.
That was my 2 cents about the upcoming ICS update for TF101G.
Nickola

You are partially right.
Lots of users are not all users, ICS for TF101G has another version: .3; not .11 or .17.
Maybe asus as made some modification on "base" code (example: new cache flush and memory managing) as well as adding the drivers for the 3G.
Some of this new improvements your can find on next new tf101 firmware release.
Moreover, this also means treating people who have spent more, IMHO.
I hope this happen in very short time.

As a general rule that I practice, I won't update any apps the very moment they have a new version & likewise with firmwares. There are bound to be bugs or incompatibility with whatever apps that you might need to use. However, users in the Asus Transformer forum have both extreme ends of the stick, a group that has loads of issues & a group that has wonderful things to say about ICS!
I'm not sure if it's only me as I haven't had the time to ask questions about why Picasa uploading is absolutely impossible with the Honeycomb. I have tried uploading pictures with the native share of Picasa as well as Picasa Tool but could never do it. I figured it has something to do with Honeycomb because my friend has the same issue with his TF101G & this is why I can't wait to upgrade to ICS. I have only gotten the TF101G in February & it has given me loads of productivity in all-day conferences & workshops where it worked more than 8 hours (with dock) even with heavy computing. Best of all, I could multitask & cross reference to get my work done. Yes, I use it heavily for work.
If I'm not here, I'm underwater...!

Arrgh! I hope that comes to the TF101 as well.

I lose root after updating my tf101g to ICS..
Sent from my flying GT-N7000 with DarkyRom with Franco kernel on XDA Premium App!!

So... It is beginning to appear that the Google IO 10.1 tabs will not be updated?

I like to stay with stock so I can get movies and drm stuff,, but beginning to wonder if ICS will ever arrive for the Google IO sub model? I don't suppose anyone has authoritive info?

As far as I know they are a different build than the other tabs and will not be updated. You might be able to do it yourself with Odin.

if you do not want to lose your unlocked and fastboot enabled bootloader, do not flash the odin package as is. remove the bootloader.bin from the package and/or create yourself a CWM zip and flash.
you can use any of the HC zips i created in the past as a guide if you go the CWM route. i believe you can also find CWM flashables for it in the dev section.
however, if you get a rolling screen, you will have to modify the LCD output accordingly in the kernel and use that, so it will be compatible with your current bootloader. you can reference this in the galaxy-2636 kernel sources on my github.

Will any of those approaches preserve ability ti get /run DRM content ire from Google Play (movies?)

Short answer: The Google I/O Version of the GT-7510 is supported by Google and not by Samsung. Samsung will not be updating it or posting an OTA update. If it will be updated, it will be directly from Google.
--
Longer answer: I spent about 3 hours on the phone with 6 Samsung techs on 16AUG2012 to get that answer. The group in charge of wifi tablets doesn't handle the Google I/O tablets, and they refer you to the cellular group. The cellular group then tells you that since the tab doesn't have a cell chip, it's not in their realm. In the end, Level 2 support on the cellular group had the answer above.
His recommendation was to "search the internet" for a custom rom and flash with that. He then reminded me that the tablet is out of warranty, so flashing isn't going to void anything. I agreed, but I can only imagine how many devices he's caused people to brick if he tells everybody that.
He also went on to say that Google is preparing their next flagship tablet and it won't be a Samsung device, it'll be an Acer device. When probed, he revealed it will be smaller than the 10.1" tab and it will be out sometime around holiday season 2012. I then told him the Nexus7 was already out and he was really confused.
If anyone else wants to try, the phone number for the cellular group is 1-877-652-4507. If they try to forward you to 1-800-SAM-SUNG, just ask for a manager or level 2.

What do you mean by stock? Vanilla android as in 3.0 and 3.1 as we originally had with these lovely I/O tabs, (so the last "Google supported" roms date from over a year ago now) or the later touchwiz offerings from Samsung not rooted etc? The I/O tab is a 7510 but with a nice exclusive back panel.
If you're still running3.1 you really are missing out on using the potential and power of this great device and can use any 7510 roms on it....
Mine is running 4.0.4 admittedly with touchwiz ( though Samsung have now 'toned it down' and it is far less cartoon-like) and it still remains one of the best performing and my most preferred tab (have zoom, transformer 101 and transformer prime ( complete cr*p).) It is rooted but of course you don't have to do that but even so gives no problems with films or dem that I have seen..
I downloaded latest Gt-p7510 ics rom from Samfirmware and flashed through Odin and it is now really flying and everything works tres bien
Screenshot attached showing movies works if that's what you mean by DRM etc...
I really can't recommend it strongly enough.... it's one of the earliest and best tabs which easily runs the latest iteration of android
Enjoy!!

Even tho the official Roms for this device have been close to untouched, there was some Samsung things in there stock. When I had to ship my io tab in I had to use a special number but it was still Samsung. All past updates have been thru Samsung not google. The guy I spoke to also told me the io tab was suppose to b updated to ics. But that was months ago and we see how that turned out. Just flash the one for the retail tabs and take precautions for ur bootloader. I flashed it and now I'm not locked anymore but I also don't have fastboot anymore (which I don't care about anyways.) All DRM stuff will work fine with the retail roms and touchwiz on ics isn't all that bad either

I got a download notification for this (and installed) after turning on the shield (it's been off for a month without any accounts logged in after upgrading to initial 5.1) and it isn't listed as beta anywhere.

So far I've only noticed Google Play services likes to crash unexpectedly for no reason whatsoever and couldn't open "search" without it quitting (even during updates). It's fine after its had time to do its thing with updates (after many crashes), not sure what the issue is/was. There's more lag on gamestream now than with older builds, probably going to move off NVidias specific implementation to something like Moonlight or Kainy. Haven't used any emulators yet, hopefully those aren't worse off.
It seems as we're getting pulled the "worse device with updates" crap like every other manufacturer out there.

Nvidia updates of the portable have made it worse each time. I will not buy another product like this from them. They need to stick to graphics cards since seen incompetent with Android devices.

I like the phone and love having a keyboard. I find it can be sluggish at times but found using a different launcher (if you don't mind loosing keyboard shortcuts) makes it faster. I bought mine used so I also replaced the back cover and battery just to make it almost brand new. Also disable system apps like BB hub if you don't use them it pulling info from other apps takes away speed and battery

For the Oreo update (android 8.1), the migration list fo BlackBerry/TCL firmware is here : https://tclota.birth-online.de/index.php

If I flash OREO custom ROM, will my Note 4 still represent as marshmallow in Play Store ?

Hi friends,
Background: I have DirecTV Streaming Service for my home because it offers 5.1 surround.
I HAD their mobile app on my Sprint Note 4 but before Sprint was purchased by T-Mo I was prompted to update the app in the Play Store.
When I tried a dialog popped up saying that my Android 6 Marshmallow phone was no longer compatible and that DirecTV Stream now required Android 7, Android 8 recommended.
If I successfully flash an OREO 8.1 ROM will the Play Store permit me to update my app or will they see that I am a Note 4 and deny me ?
And although YTTV/Hulu etc apps still work on Marshmallow they have poor audio for my home surround system .

No, it will only see the actual version of Android.

I actually flashed CRDROID Oreo 8.1 and was then able to download the latest apk from the playstore.
Installed and ran perfectly...
BUT, my WIFI connection repeatedly disconnected.
So did my bluetooth.
And my S-Pen was neutered.
Battery life abysmal.
Also, OREO was simply baffling to me.
Nothing like the Marshmallow that I am used to.
I wish that there was a way to "spoof" my android version and APPEAR as Nougat 7.
The Note 4 itself proved that it can run the app A-OK.
When Sprint died I just assumed that the latest Samsung offering would be better than my 7 year old phone.
So I bought a brand new A52 in August 21.
$450.00 wasted.
I hate it.
Stupid aspect-ratio results in black bands while streaming.
The display IS an inch wider (in landscape mode), 6.7 inches vs 5.7 inches.
BUT, considerably shorter (in landscape mode) which translates to LESS screen area.
As a result, typing is nearly impossible on the diminished keyboard.
No replaceable battery.
No S-Pen.
Overall, a big step BACKWARD !

Maybe try https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...experience-pie-trlte-tblte-trlteduos.3925885/ (PixelExperience 9)?
There are tons of roms and at least 1 will suit your needs

Thanks pal...I have only flashed the OREO I mentioned so I am a very green newbie.
I have seen positive comments about Pixel so I will give it a shot.

Android 9 > 8. Any apps for 8 will work on 9 (or 10 and 11 and so on)

Hi Gang,
I thought that I'd update my results for those who are interested.
I eventually got comfortable flashing the Custom ROMs/GApps and tried many variants from 7(Nougat) up to Lineage 18.1(Android 11).
I tried a Pixel Experience package with included GApps that was very nice but on THIS particular ROM the DTVS(DirecTV Stream) APK would not install.
I suspect that the very comprehensive included GApps somehow betrayed my device's true identity.
All the other ROMs that I successfully flashed permitted the installation of the DTVS APK and it streamed flawlessy on each of them.
I do not understand why Marshmallow 6.0.1 is no longer considered sufficient.
Anyway, in the end I was really enjoying CRDroid 10 but something I had not considered made this entire exercise moot.
My home has terrible cellular reception and WIFI-Calling is indispensible for phone connnections.
What I had not realized was that WIFI-Calling is associated with each carrier's customization and cannot be incorporated into Custom ROMs as it is closely held proprietary information.
And so I have returned to the stock T-MO ROM I started out with.
Like anyone else I must be able to reliably contact emergency services for police, fire, medical, etc.
So my current solution is to leave my Mint Mobile SIM Card installed in the Note 4 while I am at home.
And if I wish to stream DTVS(via cellular) while I am out and about I must transfer the SIM to my Huawei Mate 10 which runs EMUI 12 (Android10).
It lacks WIFI Calling so it cannot be my home phone, BUT, it streams DTVS perfectly on a nice 16:9 display (no black bands on each side).
Swapping the card is a hassle but it's the best option I could think of.
I hope other users can somehow profit from my experience.

Weird. The app is not looking for the phone model; it's looking for the Android version.

Correct !
I can only assume that the model and droid version are conflated since the Note 4 was last updated in 2015 (marshmallow 6.0.1) and no further updates were/are authorized.
And so if the app sees Note 4 it can only be 6.0.1 max.
Just guessing here.
I spent alot of time studying build.prop mods to spoof my version but that never panned out.

I feel like I need to restate this: it doesn’t care if you have a note4 and limit based on that. It only limits based on version of Android.
Weird that PixelExperience didn’t work….

2016. That's when Marshmallow was released. 2015 was Lollipop

I Recently learned of a Magisk Module called "Hide Props Config"
that promises to fake my version...
How To Spoof/Fake The Android Version On Your Device​
How to Spoof/Fake the Android Version on your device
In this comprehensive guide, we will show you the steps to spoof/fake the current Android version on your device to an older one.
droidwin.com
Trying to understand how this might work to make MY android version masquerede as a newer version that would permit the installation of the DTVS APK.
It appears that having rooted via Chainfire that I would need to unroot and then start over with Magisk.
Something about the stock boot.img being patched creating an obstacle to the installation.
Has anyone successfully installed Magisk while previously rooted ?
I tried and the app installs but two critical buttons are grayed out at the bottom of the app.
SU and Modules.
Anyone ???
