Asus support have just told me that there will be a new firmware release on Friday.
The release "is expected to fix a couple of issues with 3.2 (apps related)."
I've asked if it fixes the compass calibration issue. Finger's crossed!
Let's hope it doesn't break root for the rest of us

Great news. Thanks!
Let's see if I get the OTA after removing CWM.
Regards.
Sounds great!
Wish the problems I got would also solved with this version.
TF101 bug list.
Firmware : official 3.2
Model: TF101 16GB
1. Static(photo) shifted to left by 2/3. The right side became black. No problem for live wallpapers.
2. Short cut on home screen became black. Widget content is also black. Became normal after reboot.
3. If apk calls YouTube apk. The screen became half dark but not freezed. But TF101 YouTube apk still work fine.
4. Sometimes got messed lines on screen lower part. Disappear after running other apk.

If it cures the wifi problem, opera problem, adw problem, irritable bowel problem let me know and i'll install 3.2
Awesome ...wonder when will it have Netflix support though
Just don't install, right? I'm sure a dev will incorporate the additions to their respective roms

hopefully this will cure the dimming and apparent hang when you launch and reference an object with multiple viewers. Rotating the screen back and forth is getting a bit old.
You have to love the way Asus really stays on top of things with timely releases and bug fixes. It's why I bought an Asus instead of "that other brand".

Exactly. I didn't buy the Tab 10.1 because its still stuck on 3.1.... and also our keyboard dock just flat out pwns
Hopefully they will resolve some of the browser problems. Also the issue with having to rotate the screen after every power off.

I hope this too. I think they fixed some things while making 3G version firmware and it`s time to release them for the "regular" TF users. I hope they fix the browser because I spend 90% of my TF browsing. Hope it`s smooth and fix the rendering blocks on some sites.
I just rooted mine with Prime 1.7. It seems to be a bit laggy compared to the stock rom. How can I revert back to the stock, so that I could install this update when it comes out.
I wish they could fix the b70 thing so i can root my device!!

I bet there will be only one firmware for both models, WiFi only & 3G, because even the standard TF has a phone.apk.
Let's hope this time we'll see a real update. Last Friday they put 3.2 with release date 2011/08/12 on their website, but after I downloaded it to check, if it's really newer than the OTA relese, I found file date 2011/07/30 inside.
In my opinion the current release is a catastrophy, because of too many issues/bugs. That's why I refused to install it so far.
TF101 ftw!
OTA?
Is the upgrade OTA? Or will you need to do it manually?
Agreed, with the others who welcome the update, it has come pretty quickly. Making small incremental updates is the safest way to work, well done Asus.

Just a quick note for people in the UK that a new update is now available including the keyboard firmware update, been using for the past hour and keyboard is now functional and is not dropping out, nor does the WiFi issue seem to be there, there is no indicator for battery level of the dock that had been discussed in other threads.
cheers - checked first thing this am but nothing available. Will check again after work.
Good to know. At least we have a rough timeframe now; we're about a week behind US updates. (if the pattern holds of course)
the update was there waiting for me this morning......not got 50% charge though!
Update finished ..... will keep you posted on performance
thanks for the heads-up. Already noticing an improvement with the dock the dock firmware is to the 0209 version and there is no dock battery meter present so it looks like they shipped the most recent US update.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
my dock still says 0207 after the update ????
Update downloaded this morning when I turned the TF on...
Will get it installed now I see others have updated successfully & post back.
[UPDATE] - Successfully updated to 8.2.3.13. Yay!
ok.... ignore my previous post.... i hadnt realised that the dock update was a separate install
im now on 0209 ....

After the tab updates and is plugged in a notification of a dock update shuld appear prompting you to start the update. try unplugging and re-attaching the dock and/or restarting the transformer if you don't get a notification...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Installed fine here as well
I don't have the dock, so I can't check on that. As for the rest, I haven't found big differences - but truth be told I had no strange issues to begin with, so...
yes got it here installed update for tablet and when it reboot it found the update for dock, not only has it solved the dock issues but the tablet seems alot more responsive and fluent.have to say this is great back up support from ASUS responding quickly to software bugs
yep..got it this morning...so far..so good...
Does it work on rooted device?
tablet and keyboard sucessfully updated, but prior to this update in 2 days of use I did not have any problem with the dock nor tablet.
The update is available also here in Italy bu I still didn't apply it on my transformer.
I am wondering if I will lose root and, in that case, if I will be able to root it again.
Updated this evening and all seems good. Is it me or does the asus keyboard have a better response now?

Same doubts here.....
Updated yesterday morning (in the UK) and this thing is awesome!!!! Bring on Honeycomb 3.1!!!
I updated yesterday evening and all went fine and quick. Before update only complaint I had was lag during typing on webpages but this doesn't seem to have been resolved at all as when typing on here it is a few seconds behind which means when I make a mistake I have to wait after every backspace which is annoying. Also it seems to lag more on web page scrolling, I swipe and then again wait. Will try again today after having powered it down and up again. Shame that they couldn't introduce the Caps lock light as a notification light like lit blinked during the update, that would be useful
Not sure why it takes three months to get the UK update to 3.2 after the US, but it finally arrived on my MZ604 today... perhaps it's translating from American to English

With films now in the market and a slightly prettier Google+ update, tonight's been pretty good
The keyboard lag seems better I've noticed while typing this out
Has anyone on a MZ601 received the 3.2 update?
I wonder if this will fix the Tiamat 2.2.2 market issue of missing apps?
What build is this?
Can somebody get the link or the zip file for the update please?
I am on a US 3.2 but might have to switch back for this.
There's one good thing about this update, quickoffice HD
considered wiping my xoom and setting it back to the UK 3.2 image - but then thought if i stick it out on the US 3.2 image then i'll probably get ICS 3 months quicker than the UK...

iv just got my update aswell let see after the download if all the bugs iiv found are fixednstill contemplating to root it :/ my sgs22 is but might wait till I get board lol
Is this update 66.0.23.en.EU that we're talking about here?
I've got the option to update to this but my MZ604 is rooted using the any update/any version method so dunno if its wise to update or not.
Can anyone clarify if I can apply this update and still be rooted or will it break stuff?
Cheers.
Why on earth do the 3G's (who paid more for their devices too!) get the updates after the standard Xooms? It's a ridiculous situation - it's not as if Moto don't know the difference between the two and can't create the update for both at the same time! GRRRR
Wen will 3g get it? I might just sell up and get xoom two next month

Honestly? Xoom = fail
I don't get upgrades on time and most of uk banks charge for all market purchases (£1.25 on top for overseas transactions) - not like there is anything interesting to look for anyway (most of apps look and operate like s..t).
I wanted to buy something else then Apple and I ended up with clunky, laggy, buggy, overpriced (£570) prototype of a tablet. Now value dropped 50% and all truth came out - it's just ipad-wannabe.
(also I barely managed to write down this rant because of stupid keyboard lag...).
ICS? I'm tired of waiting. Google can't even release one simple upgrade on time... I'll wait for iPad 3 instead and I promise you that - I will have it before ICS upgrade. At least Apple is always on time with their stuff.
I know this is for the UK 3.2 but it's looking good for AUS - I really hope this resolves the Tiamat market issue!
Just in from Motorola Australia facebook page
"Hi guys, we know you're all eager to download the latest 3G Xoom 3.2 software for 3G devices. We wanted to provide you with another update on timings. Approvals are still in progress and we hope to be able to push the upgrade within the next week. We appreciate your patience."

I wouldn't be in a rush for 3.2 if I were you - I recieved it over the weekend and lost the ability to write to the SDCard again! It was there in 3.1, gone in 3.2 - SDCard is back to read-only, unless you connect via a PC.
Sure, you get an Office app, and some printing utility etc, but going back to read-only SD cards is a major backward step for me!
updated yesterday and then rooted using the 'any xoom any update' in the developement forum. Everything ok

My message to Asus.
"[Problem Description]
After the latest firmware update which included Netflix and the app backup program, I
have found that the touch screen no longer is sensitive enough to pick up my stylus.
Prior to the update it worked near flawlessly for note taking and drawing apps. Now
however I am lucky if it picks it up at all. Manila input via my fingers still works well.
Also, the app backup app does not work at all. It consistently fails regardless of the
choices I make, whether it be data, data and app, or even the size of that I choose.
Please advise if these are known issues and if an update is in the works to rectify the
issues. Thank you."
Their message back.
"Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
We will release new FW 8.6.5.19 for this issue soon."
Just as a heads up for anyone also having these issues as I am.
I want the firmware with ICS please.
That would be nice.....but in the meantime I'd love to be able to use my stylus for handwritten notes again....

I really do suspect that they've halted the current update and will be pushing the new one instead... I know there seems to be conflicting information on that score, but why keep pushing a flawed update when you've already made a new one?

You're correct. On their fb page they said they temp stopped cuz of problems. This morning 8.6.5.19-20111107 is out.

A backup app? Haven't seen that? I wonder if that is in the update they pushed today.

yep just found it. 20 minutes?! Not doing that immediately
It definitely fixed the app backup....said 20 minutes...took more like 5. And my screen is sensitive enough to use the stylus again, though it doesn't seem quite as sensitive as it used to be. :-/ ah well...here's to a speedy update to ICS...^_^

Ok, just got the update notification now downloading 1% done
I just got the notification too.
I'm in Melbourne. it's on 2% only after about half an hour. My guess is that the servers are struggling
Got my upgraded just now. Soo far so good. Just testing out the apps and features. Gmail app is crashing a bit. Keyboard lag is much better
just woke up to find a download ready. Reasonably quick, guess not many people on at this hour If it fixes keyboard lag and nothing else I will be happy.
All installed and no issues so far.
Wifi good.
Bluetooth good.
No screen flicker issues.
App drawer is smooth scrolling in either orientation.
Keyboard lag seems to have gone.
All up, very pleased.
Wots the build no. Can any one tell me pls
I still looking 4 update.zip if anyone has captured it.

Well I've been using my A500 with ICS all day now. Absolutely love it! Feels like a brand new tablet! Factory reset got rid of all the junk I had accumulated, and ICS just feels so much more polished and complete.
No issues at all apart from browser sync (but I'm using chrome beta now anyway so I don't really care)
I currently have the wi-fi Note 8.0 and love it. I would like to get the AT&T model but is it rooted yet and does the multi-window option work? Finally is the AT&T note stuff here or is there another area to look for? Hopefully these questions don't sound to dumb.

Rooted Yet - No
MultiWindow - Yes
This is it for AT&T Note 8 LTE SGH-I467
I'm sure that it will be rooted soon. (I Hope). I got one a week ago and love it. I only want root so I can install Titanium Backup. Custom Roms are nice, but I just want to be able to debloat and have a good backup

I agree, I should have caught that.
The AT&T model is not rooted yet. The multiwindow feature works great. There is no specific forum for the AT&T model so we discuss it here. I highly recommend picking it up if you can. I'm absolutely in love with mine. It'll be even more awesome once they get it upgraded to Android 4.2.
I too purchased the AT&T Note 8. On the morning it became available actually. I too love the Note 8 and highly recommend it. Especially so with the bundle deal that brings the price down to $199.
That said I have found a few issues that are in need of fixing. Firstly, of course, is the ability to root so one can use Titanium Backup to debloat. But also many have found that the screen freezes momentarily randomly. If you want to use it to play games you will be disappointed. Also, every time you power up (boot up) the current version of the software resets all factory defaults so that 3rd. party keyboards for example are deselected and you have to manually select them as default. I personally have also found that the Samsung calendar as well as google calendar doesn't automatically sync with your Samsung and/or your Google accounts, you have to do this manually as well.
these are all reasons that I bought the wifi version; we already have root, there are custom roms/kernels, custom recovery, and since there is wifi almost everywhere, and where there isn't, I can tether to my Note2, I didnt see any reason to give ATT another dime of my $$$$
hope you guys get root/custom recovery soon, because a tweaked, debloated,OC'd Note 8.0 is nothing but fun!

I hear you. However, some of us who were buying new phones anyway the AT&T bundle deal pricing of $199 for the Note 8 as opposed to the $499 retail made sense. Yes, I would liked to have root already but I will live with the wait in light of the initial cost savings. Now when can I get a Note 3???? :laugh:
not sure where you heard the wifi was 499; I got mine for 350 at Best buy, and I think there are places selling at 325...
but yeah, 199 is a nice price....
Note 3 is a ways away, i think!
I'm sure you'll have root soon; maybe send a pm to Chainfire, and see if he is working on it yet...

I also find that Chrome has problems. I don't know if it's a Chrome issue or a ROM issue but Chrome seems to not get click placement right when tapping on the screen, especially when using the pen. You have to tap below a link to get it to actually fire. Very annoying. Even with the brand new Chrome 28 release a day ago, it still does this. I'm using the stock browser until this gets resolved.

Is almost certainly a Chrome issue. Chrome 26 works fine. The problem was introduced in Chrome 27. I'm sure it'll get fixed eventually. In the meantime I'm just using the stock browser. I didn't see it as a big enough issue to do something drastic like taking it back.

Last night's update of Chrome Beta (their second patch for this issue) fixed the problem for me. It will likely be a number of weeks before the patch makes it to the stable Chrome release.

Okay, I thought I was either drunk or crazy. I swore Chrome was registering wrong clicks and it would eventually just stop with the input all together. What a terrible bug - I too was forced to use the stock browser. Glad it's fixed in the latest release. Let's hope that makes it into the Play store sooner rather than later.
