whats the point of unrooting to get FOTA ? and to reroot it only moments after ?
its not like the changes fixes critical problems that must be installed ASAP or the Transformer will have major flaw. Wonder why everyone must be the first  (not referring to anyone, just a general statement from my observation)My way, wait till i see feedback from 3.2 users first. Stable n good, then i'll update, if buggy i'm happy to stay at 3.1 while the issues are iron out |

exactly what i'm trying to say, nothing crucial enough to make me change my current setup to get this official 3.2
by the way, rooted users doesn't need to to wait for Asus to release the source code, I remember i was already on Prime long before Asus release the source. I think what you referring to is those OC kernels. I'm hoping the zoom feature will not be similar like what ipad is having, IMHO that is UGLY !!! images are stretched and things looks rough |

Gameloft games like NOVA HD etc now can be played on 3.2, saw a video on youtube for that. Thats a great advantage. Many more games and apps can be used on 3.2
Added on July 28, 2011, 4:15 pm2 questions left: 1. 1080p HD video playback capability and hardware accelation support. This one my guess may not happen... hmm too bad. 2. lagging in browser. I guess this one could be solved. Anyway.. hope both resolved. This post has been edited by tracktion3: Jul 28 2011, 04:15 PM |

I don't have 1080p videos so cant test, but 720p is working beautifully with hw acceleration and support dts/ac3 soundtrack as well if u don mind, can u find out the video/audio detail of the file u are playing, is it a high profile? and what bitrate it has, etc etc |

It will be a different story though if this release is IceCream, hahaha then i would jump into it immediately if u don mind, can u find out the video/audio detail of the file u are playing, is it a high profile? and what bitrate it has, etc etc one of the video i tried, the detail here » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « if i play this same video via all other players, it still stutters |

I googled and seems like only rooted machine is able using backup and restore method. i think apps like whatsapp and viber requires the gadget to be able to receive sms. so, rightly speaking, its not really possible.there's a thread on viber (supposedly official viber support) and they mentioned something similar though they said if wanna activate a tablet, we need to use another account (mobile number) to generate a new set of code. |
