New Firmware Today: 9.2.1.24

Not a single reboot since firmware update. But a couple days before the update I installed Wake Lock and did not get a reboot since the install either. I think I am clean for about a week now.

BUT. Now I am getting a TON of force closes on lots of apps including the Play Store. I am also now having some random battery drains too. Usually it's a 5%ish drain overnight with nothing running, and sometimes It can be down 30-40%.

I still have many force closes also. I also get the disappearing home screen and icons issue. This build is far from stable on my TF. My tablet is much more usable after the update than it was. Looks like there is some improvement with each update.
 
I'm rock solid since the update. No reboots or FCs. If I uncover anything I'll post here, but so far, I'm even happier with my TF now.
 
Nearly 30 hours of deep sleep, no more reboots, screen tearing gone. Also no more lag typing here. Looks good so far!
 
Yea the rr's and sod's may have been lessened but the FC'g in the gmail app and google maps is awful. Imagine this is an android device and it has issues with 2 of Google's core apps. Embarrassing to say the least-and this is definitely widespread after doing a little search of this and other forums
 
Got my 1st SOD after about a week. Force Closes definitely happening a lot more now too. Keyboard lag seems to be worse. Home screen and icons like to disappear.
 
My TF101 is now completely stable after the last firmware update. Google Maps continues to crash, but I can probably live with that as long as it doesn't happen on my Bionic. With respect to icons blanking on the home screen, that riddle was solved a few weeks ago (search for my posts on that). In brief, you have one or more apps running in the background that are incompatible with ICS. In my case, it was Beautiful Widgets. When I uninstalled that app and switched to Fancy Widgets, the home screen problem went away and never returned.

Hope this helps!
 
I'm still having the issue where sound stops and I have to reboot to get the sound back. It started with the first ICS update. I'm thinking of sending it in for repair.

Good information but difficult to find the incompatible app(s). My TF is stable also. Never had any sound issues. Thanks
 
You can go into apps > settings to see what is running in the background.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Google Maps this morning. No bueno, it still crashes when I press the location button. Then I found a work around until Google fixes their bug. MapQuest is a small free app that does much the same thing, including voice navigation.

I was having the same issue. I know it doesn't make any sense but I toggled satellite view on and hit the location button and toggled satellite off and hit the location button again and haven't had a FC on location since.
 
I was about to ship my Eee Pad for repair when I found out about the firmware. It's been problem free for a week now. No sound issue and no reboot issue either. I'm cautiously optimistic about it. I hope I didn't jinx myself by posting this. :)
 
There is definitely something up with Google Maps. Charged my tablet and dock Sunday night and hadn't used it at all until yesterday. Open it up and see that 35% of the dock's battery had been used. (Not normal for me, it should be A LOT less for idle.)

I checked battery stats and found 61% had been used for tablet idle. Ok, it had been idle (Does deep sleep show up as idle though?) this whole time which means a lot more of it should have been idle time. That's the first bit of oddness. Even odder though is that Google Maps had 30% of the battery stats! I can't remember the last time I had ever used Google Maps on my tablet. Which means that while my tablet was supposed to be asleep, Google Maps opened itself up.

I don't have any apps set to self update and ever since ICS, I've been manually disabling wi-fi at the end of each session. This is very curious behavior.
 
No idea what version of maps I'm running where. I know I update it on my tablet but the thing is, I never ever open GMaps on my tablet. If it's running, it's doing so completely out of the blue on its own.
