ya this just downloaded on its own for me also. it probably will break root so i really dont want to download it! anyone know what it is?

**allan1313** · 01-18-2012, 07:46 PM

It does not break root. I installed it, on XDA they are saying it if a GPS fix.

Edit: It does break root. Guess I should have read up more on it. I now know about root keeper for when I gain root access again.

Hope the updates keep coming

Any improvement to wifi, or is it just GPS?

It broke root for me. And I was stupid and forgot to use OTA Rootkeeper. So now I have no root, and no way to reroot.

Some on transformerforums.com are reporting significant improvement in GPS locking. Also there may be some graphical fixes.

Just updated mine tonight. HUGE gps improvement. Almost on par with my evo 3d. Haven't tried it in a moving vehicle or anything. Check out the pics.
Phone stats

Prime stats from same location. Just as many satellites, not quite as good on the accuracy.

I would also like to point out that my wifi seems MUCH better also. More testing needed there, before I could pull 10-13 mbps on my phone, and maybe 4 with my prime. Now am hitting 8-13 on the prime. Hopefully this is the fix this thing needs. May end up keeping it after all.

I went to check out the new update available for the Prime and this is what I get. " There is a system update for your divice. Please check notifications" and then it switches to say this "Failed to connect to the internet, Please check your internet connection" I am sitting right beside my router and all other programs that need the internet are working. Where do I find the notification to update because there is nothing prompting me to upgrade or anything

It's telling you to check the notification window that pops up when you hit the clock at the bottom right of your screen.

There is nothing there to click.

I'm rooted and I was able to download the update but it errors out every time on install.

**bbalz** · 01-19-2012, 11:47 AM

Can people post the firmware numbers?

Maybe GPS version? W-Fi Version, Bluetooth Verision, Build number etc?

I checked for an update and it doesn't show anything available. Wondering if this is being pushed out slowly or what.

Yes please post the number because I am wondering if they maybe pulled the update or it was late getting to some people or mine did something without me knowing?

Forgive my ignorance, but what does rooted mean?

**seh1** · 01-19-2012, 05:48 PM

I happened to see the update last night (2012-01-18) and installed it. I don't know if it was supposed to improved WiFi performance. Mine did pretty well but not awesome before and as far as I can tell it's about the same now.

GPS is still completely broken on mine however. I just installed the "GPS Status" app to try and collect more data and as far as it's concerned there are no satellites in the sky. I certainly didn't buy the thing for GPS navigation, but it would be nice to have it working.

**jkvato** · 01-19-2012, 05:53 PM

The GPS got worse for me. Before this update, I was able to get a GPS lock standing motionless outside for 30 seconds. Now I don't even get that. In a test I did today, my unit could only see 2 satellites and couldn't lock on to anything.

Hopefully more GPS fixes will be coming from Asus.
