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.
Asus really is responsive to peoples feedbacks.
FYI 8.6.5.19 came out today. Just updated my Transformer.

yay. this is for us, nvm i got it also =)!
i've got an update just now..dunno any changes they make for this update.. xD
i gotta say asus is shining as a company with these frequent updates. now only if they'd come thru for the sbk v2
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...^_^

Hey there,
quick question, as i'm new to this, since this is my first android phone. so i've heard that 4.2.2 was released about a week ago. now apparently this update comes in waves, meaning that not everyone will get it at the same time. now i've got two questions about it, since i still haven't received this update:
- is this normal that you have to wait so long to get an update that's already available to a lot of people? (don't wanna do the framework trick)
- what is the purpose of that? please don't tell me, google couldn't handle the traffic when some people want to download this tiny update at the same time? oO
i'm just asking because im starting to worry if there's something wrong with my phone that makes it unable to receive system updates. i don't need the update that bad.
Yes. Don't worry.
I have a n4 ,n7 and n10. Framework worked for me 1st time with all the devices. Its very easy. Why not just do it???

Because i've read that it messes up / resets settings of certain apps.
Worked fine for me.
Clearing Google services framework from the apps section definitely works.
I haven't gotten it either. Framework worked on N10 and gnex. I'm mainly not forcing it on N4 out of curiosity of how long it will take. Yes, I'm strange but not really needing update on N4. No reboots, no butter in the update, etc.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I haven't got it either. Is that related to the country or the batch of the phone you purchased?
Still havent got it either. I dont wanna force it with the framework data delete trick, the update is nothing interesting so id like to wait and see how long it would take to recieve the OTA.

i know in canada, the updates go through service providers(if purchased from them) instead of google servers. maybe this is what is happening if you don't see the update yet?

No update for me either, but I don't mind it. Nothing major that I've read so far will force me to manually update my phone. If it doesn't come by Google I/O, then I'd worry, but by then KLP will probably be out.

I'm curious about this too. Oddly, clearing the cache from my Google Framework didn't work. I'm curious to see if battery life gets ANY better with this update.

They stagger the updates so their servers don't get overloaded with everyone trying to download the update at once. Microsoft does the same thing with Windows updates but they finish within a few days.
Canada here. My N7 took five days to get the OTA. It's been five days since the rollout began and still no OTA on my N4 yet.
Anyone. Today?

did the same.
There is no way they are updating the Droids to Lollipop before last year's Moto X or the Turbo.
If I were a betting man, I'd bet it is some sort of minor bug fix update for VoLTE or something. Maybe an update to add full Moto Voice stuff?
Maybe they can make the phone not sound like crap/cut out on 50% or more of calls?

Must be your area/reception? I've personally never dropped a call in the year I've had this phone.

This suggests the update could be 5.0.1. It also might be a pre-release in order to get the device ready. Guess we will find out soon enough.
This one wasn't LP ... Honestly not sure what changed but my update is running smoothly

Mine is downloading the update right now. It says its only 53 MB so it can't be too much.
Got mine updated. Now to see what changed.
I'm not part of the soak but my maxx shows the update as available. Any word on if there are any problems for people who unlocked with sunshine?

Yes, looks like an update to fix bugs in the last update (though I personally was not having any problems). I don't really notice any difference so far.
Edit:
SORRY JUST REALIZED OTHERS ALREADY GOT IT DELETE OR WHATEVER I AM SORRY.
So I checked for updates and it showed me that V10b-JUN-11-2015 is available. Says something about a Google Patch and improving usability. Anyone else got it or knows what exactly it does? Am downloading atm, it is avout 180MB.
So... u r using H815T model? And what are the improvements u have noticed so far?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
If you have the H815 you might as well update as with the official unlocked bootloader you do not have to worry about losing Root Access.
I for one have the US991 though, so I refuse to do any updates that *could* patch whatever *might* be in my launch firmware that could be used as an exploit.
I did update. Didn't notice anything. Doesn't affect touc issue...

Getting the 160MB update for the Verizon model claiming it is security updates.
The only options for receiving this update was Install Now or Install Later and you can set a time for when to install it later.

and my software still says modified after the update.
Well I updated. H815T model. And although I don't see any major improvements, but I probably notice a bit more fluidity here & there as well as tad better touch response. But point to b noted, my phone was already optimized by all those settings changes & app blocking that guys have advised for better experience with G4.

Can you try to downgrade after you update and see if it'll downgrade? Thanks. Its ok if you're not interested in all that hassle.

Nothing visible has changed, no new apps. No new settings. June 1st security patch which may be different. I'll maybe try to downgrade tomorrow.

I already checked it. Downgrade safe.
I haven't found a tutorial on downgrading to 5.1.1 from 6.0.1. Is there a safe way to do it?

Not sure what you mean by "safe" but typically you just use Odin to flash full stock 5.1.1, do a factory reset in stock recovery afterwards and you're done.

I'm guessing its just a June security patch.
I'm impressed Verizon is actually trying to keep up with the security updates on this device. BUT, i dont think they have a choice because this device is probably more used then the Note5 .
Anyone tried this update while being rooted?

Seems to have fixed some lag, heat , and battery drain issues I was having. Auto brightness is still borked. Still have to turn the brightness down manually in a dark room, and up to max outside.

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews of Google Fi. Which phone are you going to go with? I've thought about replacing my Note 4 DE with the Moto X Pure when they run it on sale again (was $319 a few days ago). But the Droid Z Force also looks nice.
Made my battery worse! A little less lag though....so got that goin for me!!! Lol

Not really the place to discuss it so I'll keep it brief.
My girlfriend has a Nexus 5X. The phone is amazing, updates are quick and common. It operates perfectly on marshmallow with no noticeable issues. We live in bum**** and she still gets service wifi calling and texting is fine, and no contracts. We pay about 42 a month for hers with insurance.
Well one thing I noticed (not sure if it was this update or the last one) is that when you pick an application to use (like browser) it becomes the default. With the old OS it would ask you to use just once or make it the default. Arrgggg I prefer to pick the application as needed and not make it the actual default.

The MM update made this change to default app handling. I liked the old way too. Now if I want to change the default app I have to remember which app was set as default before I can make the change. Sometimes remembering which app was set as default isn't easy to do.
Deleted. Think was in wrong thread.
Been a long time sense I've posted anything in this forum.
I just went back to the Note 4 and did the MM update and have noticed a heavy draw on the battery compared to LP. Am wondering if letting it did cycle through a few time might correct the battery drain. Was on an iPhone for awhile, but for personal reasons came back android. Has anybody tried that yet. Have been temped to hard reset and start fresh to see if it fixes it.
This update has increased the battery draw on mine and it is running HOT! Need help.
