ASUS Transformer Prime receives new OTA update

If you own an ASUS Transformer Prime tablet, look out for a new OTA update that is being delivered to the Android device today. Apparently the update brings the tablet up to version 9.4.2.13, kernel version 2.6.39.4 and WiFi to version 6.1.1.18 and Bluetooth to 9.26. The update is said to fix previously reported problems that were plaguing the Transformer Prime in the past: random reboots, screen flickering, and apps crashing.

The new update also improves the speed of WiFi, but it does break root access – for those of you that have it on your tablet. The update should be rolling out now for everyone in the US, but if you haven’t received the notification yet, go to Settings > About Tablet > System Firmware update to manually request it. Let us know how the update goes for you.
