I just kept having reboots. I appreciate the downgrade info that people have supplied but I'm just shutting mine down until they figure it out. 5 reboots in about 3 1/2 hrs of usage is just insane. I did a complete wipe and reinstall as well.

At this point I'm waiting for the boot loader unlock so the community can supply better roms.

Anyone in Canada get it yet? Im still on firmware .11. Do you have to unfreeze apps on TitaniumBackup for updates to work (I unfroze them and still no update)

Update - Thanks to a few members who provided detailed information about their setups, application installs and other items we were able to replicate the sleep/battery drain issues affecting several users. We have a new firmware image going through qualification testing now and will present this to Google shortly for approval. At this point, if the firmware passes qualification testing, we should be able to release it early next week or sooner.

Hi Gary,

Any chance of starting to provide changelogs for your updates? I imagine doing such a thing will greatly increase the quality of feedback you receive and make for quicker diagnosis of issues stemming from an update.

As it stands, it takes the community around a week collectively to notice what's been changed and where, which generates a lot of ill-feeling. Adding this layer of transparency will bring you closer to your user-base.

If any other forum users agree with this sentiment, click the thank button or quote me and add your own thoughts.

Consider yourself lucky so long as you don't want to waste your battery. Also a chance to start getting reboots if you don't already have them, GPS could stop altogether even though the build didn't change, and WiFi may or may not see an increase in performance (did they tweak the voltages to the chip?).

If you're rooted, check the dev section and you'll see a thread about "installing any version." This will allow you to flash a WW/US update if you want to try .13 and also allow you to revert to an older update. I'm currently on .11 again!

Reverted to update .11. Look around and you'll see my own and others' screenshots of this versus .13, as well as the battery effects (of the updates as a whole, not just the increase in CPU resources)

Obviously a difference.

    Because they don't know yet what it does fix, simples.

    They're waiting for the results coming from the beta testers...US :eek:

    Really?

    9.4.2.13 US Release Notes -
    1. Fix Random Reboot / Lockup Problem (100% success in regression testing with returned units, hopefully the same in the community)
    2. Enable Google WideVine video rental in the US
    3. General Performance Enhancements - Usability and User Experience improvements
    4. Improved WiFi operation (for most users, still working on the WiFi/BT dropout fix that will not be assisted by the WiFi/GPS firmware updates)

    My wifi is completely dead now.
    Won't even turn on.


    Before buying this tablet all I ever heard about Asus is their great support for their devices...

    Yeah...
    Growing a bit tired of this

    Please PM with your setup and prior firmware release. This is the first and only report about dead WiFi out of 22K updates today so it could be something else causing the problem.
