After some weeks of testing .15 I have to say it's smoother than all the previous releases. But, weird enough, sometimes I still get minor lock-ups and screen flickering. Most of the flickers are when I open the windows switcher app. It's like there's a graphic render error. No big thing, but still not perfect. :(

Did anyone find solution for these?

I guess the most of us!
Similar thing happens in YouTube when you start typing on sw keyboard.

I still then have unfrequent lock + reboot.
The stock browser is not smooth as I do expect from the best tablet on the market!

BTW I digged around a bit, and this is what I found:

3/20/21012 Update -

1. I will be back to the forums on 3/22/2012.
2. We will have a major ICS update (.19) arriving shortly (might be .20 now).
3. We will have a major announcement on the TF201 in the near future.
4. We will have dedicated forum assistance starting in the near future.

3/22/2012 Update -
1. I am back for the next few days. I will get caught up on messages and updates shortly.
2. The next firmware update is in qualification testing now. We are also working on solving some flickering problems reported by a few users and hopefully that will be addressed in this next release.
3. The announcements on the TF201 (not being canceled as speculated) will occur as soon as I have a release to do it.
4. Full time forum support at a few Android centric sites will be launched in the near future as discussed.

it's kinda official Asus source, from Gary's thread, here at XDA. Promising! :D

    I'm Starting this thread for everyone who's having this problem.

    Lockup, freeze then reboot while doing normal task.

    I have tried everything possible but it seems the new OTA is the problem with a small % of us.

    Factory reset (no app install)
    Hard reset(no app install)
    revert back to .11, update to 13, then update to .14

    NOTE: This problem does not occur while living the tablet in standby. It only happens when you start playing with it.

    Same freeze-reboot problem. Tablet is useless cause even typing, apps, setting, market..... anything would cause this problem.

    Serial # BCOKAS11XXXX

    .11 works perfect

    GARY was PM with this thread so please if you have this problem post here with your serial number (BCOKAS11XXXX)

    2/21 update from Gary:

    "I will contact several of the listed members privately to try a new beta patch from NVIDIA tomorrow that should address the users who downgraded from .13 to .11 and then skipped to .14, were on the leaked 11.1 (never use a leaked version) or had a problem going from .13 to .14. I am out of the office for a funeral today and please do not contact me for the beta patch directly. I will initiate the contacts to ensure a proper test group and if it works, then a quick firmware update will be released next week."

    2/22 update
    Today Gary will contact several members in the list for private beta testing patch from NVIDIA. I have updated the list including the serial numbers provided in this thread, this way Gary can pick members with different serial #(BC,CO,C1)

    Update from Gary
    I have sent instructions to the first control group. Hopefully everyone will be able to test the patch and not leak it. If it is leaked, my ability to provide test releases or additional support will stop for the foreseeable future. If the typical 70% do not respond to their PM and patch instructions then I will create a second control group tonight.


    UPDATE FROM GARY .15 FIRMWARE BETA TESTING
    "I will expand the control group tonight. So far, 60% of those I asked to participate have not replied to my inquiries or acknowledged the original PM. A little better than the normal 70% who do not respond so I will take that as a positive. For those who tried and replied, my thanks and based on results so far the users actually experiencing this problem should thank them also as it appears we can release this patch shortly"

    Late 2/22 update from Gary
    "I expanded the group tonight. If all is well in the morning then I will start increasing the size of each group tomorrow. It appears based on today's results that I will give HQ the go ahead to release this patch to qualification testing so we can get it in the release cycle for next week"

    NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT LEAK THE BETA PATCH THAT GARY HAS PROVIDED US.

    .15 BETA FIRMWARE IS NOT AVAIL TO PUBLIC, ONLY PRIVATE INVITATION FROM GARY. DO NOT CONTACT GARY FOR INVITATION.... AGAIN DO NOT LEAK IT


    Update on .15 beta firmware
    "So far so good 2 days zero freeze-reboot or force close. Fastest and smoother rom i have tried (.11,.13,14,15). Excellent battery life"
