Just checked and the new .14 update is out. I understand it has something to do with clock speeds. Have downloaded but haven't installed yet.

New .14 update is out
- Thread starter rsmin
- Start date
Just installed the update...
So far I am noticing that things are running smoother throughout the entire system. The stock browser has been pretty lagy on my end in the past. After this update it seems to be pretty smooth. I had issues after the last update with my battery draining while the unit was idle. I will post up if I see that being any better. I used to be able to charge to 100%, and let sit idle with maybe 1% drain after hours. Last night it charge, I took it off the charger before sleeping. When I turned it on, it had drained 9%.
Anyway, will post up any changes I see...

The newer kernel will help in the clock speeds and battery issues.
Nothing changed with the wifi and gps, although they were updated in previous updates.

I didn't have the battery drain issue after .13 but I have experienced a half dozen unexpected shutdowns that I never had before. I suspect it was caused by the CPU clock speed changes .13 did because a couple of the shutdowns were when I was changing performance modes. I am holding off on .14 to see what crops up with this update.

I updated after seeing that it was a kernel update, but that's just me. Maybe it's using a different governor to allow the lower clock speeds

The update trashed mine. I haven't had the rebooting or freezing up problems. It worked pretty nice except for the GPS. Now It wont keep running for more than a few minutes before either locking up ond/or throwing a "Unfortunatly DMClient has stopped" and rebooting.
This is not fun any more.

Did that and it is still toast. Just keeps throwing the error message and rebooting. I don't think I can keep it running long enough to download a kernel image to return to the previous kernel.

That sucks! I updated last night and didn't really know that it was a new update. I just checked under About Phone for the heck of it. Wonder if there is an official change log somewhere...though those are usually very vague.

Unfortunately, there's nothing much they can do in software to make up for not receiving a good Wifi or GPS signal. You can't create data that just isn't there.

The last update, .13, had firmware updates that did in fact affect WiFi performance. My speeds increased at home from around 17-18 mbs to around 22 mbs consistently now. Software may not help, but firmware does!

It was meant as a joke...........the only thing that will fix, falsely advertised GPS, is to buy a Garmin !

Oh, well I was at work when I read the post and responded. Nothing is funny when I'm at work.

Updated. Me and my kids put it through it paces and no random shutdowns yet like after .13. I can confirm that the missing CPU frequencies are back!!!! I still believe my shutdown problems were caused by Asus messing with CPU speeds.
