Be careful what you ask for! I have ICS on my ASUS TF101 and I hate it!! It’s a disaster. It turned a tablet that I love in to one that I hate! Wanna see how popular this release is? Go to ASUS’s facebook page and see all the complaints about this upgrade. Constant reboots, apps freezing, decreased battery life! I desparately want to go back to Honeycomb!! ASUS is radio silent! No response to requests to back out or fix the problem!

I had the same problem and I tried every possible reset et.c
I called Asus …here is my fix
Download manually from Asus support and unzip to Micro SD. Insert MicroSD in Transformer it will detect new firmware and update works fine
backup your data
enjoy

I bought the OG yesterday, OS was version 3.2.2 or something to that effect. when I checked for firmware updates it came back saying nothing was available at this time. Any suggestions for getting ICS to the device?

My serial starts with B40 as well. What does that mean as far as this update? Since I am assuming we have the first-gen version of the hardware was there an issue with the ICS transition?

I did not get it and manually checking for an update says there is no update. Have you had any luck with this? I wrote into Asus to see what they say.

I don’t like ICS. It has been problematic for me ever since I installed it. Ended up doing a factory reset (what hassle getting everything backed up!) The reset helped most things; but still get random reboots about twice a day. Guess I can live with it (don’t really have a choice). But if I knew then what I know now, I would have stayed on Honeycomb.

same thing JUST happened to me. I got the update yesterday and everything seemed fine. This morning when I woke up, it was looping on the first screen. on for about 3 seconds, then off, then on again… like it was trying to start but it just couldn’t. Then I held the power button for about 30 seconds… all of the sudden, the ASUS logo came on… holy cow – I started freaking out cuz I need this for a weeding tonight – playing the piano for 2 hours with no music would STINK.

This is what I’m wondering. I went to the lock screen options right away after the update, and was disappointed when I couldn’t find it. I wonder if it’s just a Galaxy Nexus thing?

Did the firmware upgrade yesterday…ICS is the best thing to ever happen to this tablet! Fonts smoother, tablet more responsive, better memory management…amazing. I have a few high=end games that are having issues but no big deal to wait for the next upgrades.

Way to go ASUS! In over 15 years I have never had one of their products let me down.
