The Prime folks finally got a positive update this morning (.14) solving the battery issues and some are reporting better WiFi speeds. One less headache for Asus. Maybe our TF101 ICS update is coming soon.
READ THIS NOW !!!•••POST ALL ICS AND ICS RELATED INFO HERE ONLY !!!!!
- Thread starter oka1
- Start date
As you can read I don't have a computer capable of compiling from source or I would be doing it myself. What does me asking for someone to make a build for another device have anything to do with asus releasing source code? Just because I have a difference of opinion then a dev doesn't mean I don't respect what they do.
It has everything to do with showing your general attitude. This is flavor of the day for you, and yet you are trying to start a holy war against Asus to release source code that you probably will never personally work on?

I'm not waiting to find out. I'm loading ICS onto my touchpad tomorrow and Asus can take their sweet time handing out more dates.
I would rather use a buggy version of ICS today, than a semi-buggy one in one month, two months, three months, etc. At least I won't have to listen to more BS.

Asus has some coherence problems with information management. XDA has coherent whine.
From twitter this time: https://twitter.com/#!/ASUS/status/164522714994974721
Hopefully they have made up their mind this time. Someone start the two-week countdown
Asus seems to have a problem deciding on when to release the real release-date and for how long it should continue to release prank-dates. The real release of the real release-date for the real release of ICS may or may not be right around the courner.
In the meantime, we could replace most of the world's nuclear powerstations with the whine contained in this very XDA thread. The power of both should more or less even out.
Good times.

beta program
Perhaps Asus should consider a beta program for adventurous people.
They obviously have an ICS build for TF101 that's close to being ready but for whatever reason they are keeping it back.
If there was a beta program with manual install instructions (as opposed to an OTA release) a lot of the people that complain about slipping release dates would have something to play with.
Asus could even benefit from feedback.

Seriously!!! I already rooted and even when it releases I'll still be waiting for a custom Rom. If you're registered to this site, it's a high probability that you're using a custom Rom anyway... so I don't know why people are being so impatient. Stock Roms are no where near better than our Dev Roms.
I have a Nook Color running a dev version of ICS: that device has less than half the power of the TF101.
There are so many people who should NOT be trying to use Paul's build wandering in and asking the most mundane questions (that have been answered, should not be asked, or combination of both) that at this point I wonder if he regrets releasing his so openly- any kind of pilot beta program geared towards the people who think it's a good idea would result in thousands of users not intended to participate in the program pushing their way in and causing Asus a huge headache, or any company for that matter. That is why beta releases are usually very limited and tightly controlled, or are blatantly advertised as 'mostly non-functional' to dissuade casual users to attempt using the beta before it is within their comprehension. I find it funny that people actually think Asus should do anything like leaking or allowing beta testing on something like NEW VERSIONS OF ANDROID (it would be another thing entirely to do a similar function with their products, as you cannot simply copy and repost the device itself, like would happen if they leaked a buggy beta of ICS). It would be a huge disaster! And so expensive in manhours for Asus' customer service department..i wish people would think before they suggest these kinds of things and realize that if Asus cannot profit, they are a useless company, and that is the LAST THING loyal Asus customers want; their devices to become abandoned because Asus simply can't afford to continue supporting them. Same goes for apps on the android market and any dvice for that matter- without profit motive, there is no motive. And we, as customers, are the ones who have to go without in the end. JUST CHILL. You will get ICS soon enough without asking a cmpany to rewrite their entire corporate-consumer relationship for you..
Kindly get off your high horse.
It's not nearly as black and white as you put it. I was just suggesting an alternative to what's going on now. It's not a complete strategy, not a demand, not something I expect Asus to do without a solid plan, just a suggestion.
Even without official (beta) releases, people will still try things like custom ROM's, rooting, other modifications etc. Many of the problems people get are because they don't read or because it's hard to get custom ROM's installed. If there's an official easy way, these problems should be reduced.
Look at what Sony does with their ICS preview ROM's for certain phones. It's not as outrageous as you make it sound and Sony is definitely in it for the money.
Ics update
COME ON PEOPLE LET THEM HOPEFULLY GET IT RIGHT.! Do you want it full of bugs to complain about?Then when it's out let the brilliant minds at Xda go to work.Want the update badly too but patience is a virtue.Now if they let it go past mid March I will join in the whining myself and loudly.You see that the new prime update is now rolling out to fix their problem.maybe we are next.Then let the fun begin...I am dying to try a new ROM....haven't flashed nothing in 2 weeks
