**alhull** · 03-29-2012, 05:48 AM

I got the update too, but where is there any changelog info on just what this new version is supposed to offer/fix???

**benude** · 03-29-2012, 08:43 AM

After the update, I started receiving pop-up warnings in the default browser about invalid SSL certs... even when browsing non-SSL web pages.

**ttyrell** · 03-29-2012, 08:48 AM

no face unlock for me either. Anyone have a change log?

**Randomhero180** · 03-29-2012, 10:52 AM

The change log has been available for about a week on numerous android sites. Here is a list of features that we got.

- Market will be updated to Play Store (that should've already happened, actually), as well as Books, Music, and Movies updated to their Play varaints

- ASUS Vibe will be updated from 1.0 to 2.0 with an improved interface and content

- LAN Support via USB to ethernet adapter

- Ad-hoc network support

- The ability to choose between landscape and portrait mode when using HDMI output to a TV

- Handle notifications from Lock Screen

- Face unlock

Hope this helps.

Looks pretty good so far, did break a SystemUI theme that I had that returned the back/home/multitasking buttons to stock ICS look. It doesn't sound like that developer is continuing development for the stock ROM, either.

Not seeing the face unlock

**Pandawg** · 03-29-2012, 01:48 PM

Asus confirmed on their twitter that Face Unlock isn't be a part of this update.

**jwwilker** · 03-29-2012, 02:45 PM

So, if you look in Settings>Apps and then select All you can actually see that Face Unlock is included in this update, but you can't access it. I wonder why ASUS would do that?

**jeffreytz** · 03-29-2012, 04:13 PM

What I've found so far:
- Battery in System Menu now shows battery statistics for apps

- System bar lock: you can lock the system bar (for when you're playing games, etc.) by pressing the dot in the center of the bar and sliding the lock over. Unlock it the same way.

- Battery Saving: Disconnect network during sleep: is that new? I don't remember seeing it before.

- ASUS Keyboard: did it support "trace input" before (like Swype)? I've been using the Android stock keyboard for a while so I might not have noticed if this came in an earlier update.

** Update: OK this trace input seems crazy accurate on the ASUS keyboard. I used Swype for several months on my EVO 4G and it was good, but never as accurate as what I've seen in the last 10 minutes on the Transformer.

Did i touch something or is this a change with the new firmware?
Instead of the stylish pad with ics , Bluetooth and power save I got now a simpler pad, uglier and missing the same functions ( although for some reason they seem to think that airplane mode, which I don't know yet what it is, is important enough to be there)

**Sneakersislife** · 03-29-2012, 10:16 PM

airplane mode disconnects all antennae ie wifi, bluetooth or gps

LOL, it is curious, not to say strange, that in these days,where internet is becoming ubiquitous, even in flights,, through WiFi, they invented this mode?
I would imagine the programmers at Asus fly a lot and are obviously traumatised about it to put a special mode for it.
And I would prefer to have the option not to have it in my menus

**destinedSonii** · 03-30-2012, 12:15 AM

Prime stop working after update. It won't turn on but would charge. No root!

**weezel** · 03-30-2012, 07:26 AM

Also not working and fully charged. Wake up ASUS.

**Djnikkofb** · 03-30-2012, 12:25 PM

Mine had stopped booting up. All i Get is loop. The recovery console shows dead Droid with red exclamation point. I had to RMA to asus..

Nikko was Here

airplane mode, has literally been in almost every smartphone, and most non smartphones, for atleast the past 5 years, not just tablets.

Same thing happen to me.

**c00l0ne** · 03-30-2012, 11:53 PM

Ok here`s my first issue after updating. My "dead Space" game crashes. If anyone knows a fix to this let me know.

**weezel** · 03-31-2012, 07:45 AM

figured out that my prime didn't want to wake up from sleep mode. i checked the power light to shut it down and then held the power button until reboot. i turned off sleep mode and now having no problems.

@ Weezel, Thanks. My Prime downloaded the update, installed it and was running fine (the update actually fixed the screen flicker during multi-tasking for me) before apparently going to sleep and not being able to wake up while I was playing a game hours later. I applied your reset method (which I had tried before to no avail) and have turned off screen timeout. This appears to have done the trick.

Asus needs to push a fix right away, obviously screen timeout is a useful power saving feature.

(FWIW, this is the first update that has caused a problem/ "broken" a functionality for me.)
