Just found A firmware update on my tablet and now I No longer have the Banding problem

:)

firmware update was for the gps, but after it loaded and rebooted i noticed it "optomized apps".

the banding issue has disappeared for me over the last week. used the tablet solid for 3 hours yesterday afternoon and not a single issue. i did update the firmware last night too.

Still a clean slate (sorry) regarding the banding issue, but the update did nothing for me about GPS, it is still non-existent. My tablet also says my 5g WIFI is not close enough to connect to even though I am sitting 2 feet from the router. 2.4G it finds all over the house.

Unless I missed something that's not surprising since TP doesn't support 5 GHz wifi in the first place.

I received my TP on Jan 16th from gamestop online, updated to ICS right away. I did notice some banding a couple of times when exiting youtube or another app, but once I did the firmaware update I haven't seen the banding at all. I have no issues with my TP at all wifi is fine. Not sure about gps didn't test it before the update because I don't use it. But I tested immediately after and after about 5 mins outside I could see 12 satellites.
