Transformer Prime recibirá la actualización a ICS y bootloader abierto
El decontento general con respecto al Transformer Prime que surgió principalmente tras el problema del gestor de arranque codificado (Bootloader), lo ha erradicado totalmente ayer ASUS tras un mensaje a través de Facebook.
- ASUS pondrá a disposición una herramientta de desbloqueo del bootloader para el Transformer Prime
- El Transformer Prime recibirá el 12 de enero la actualización a Ice Cream Sandwich
- El problema con el GPS persistirá de momento, ya que está relacionado con el hardware.
Así que el ASUS Transformer Prime se actualizará a Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich el 12 de enero.
ASUS has been working hard to make the highly anticipated Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich available on the Transformer Prime, and today, we have good news for you. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich FOTA worldwide update for the Transformer Prime will start from Jan 12th, 2012. Thank you for your patience and support through this process.
Así que para la comunidad de fans de roots y custom-roms también hay buenas noticias, ya que el bootloader del Transformer Prime va a venir desbloqueado.
Regarding the bootloader, the reason we chose to lock it is due to content providers' requirement for DRM client devices to be as secure as possible. ASUS supports Google DRM in order to provide users with a high quality video rental experience. Also, based on our experience, users who choose to root their devices risk breaking the system completely. However, we know there is demand in the modding community to have an unlocked bootloader. Therefore, ASUS is developing an unlock tool for that community. Please do note that if you choose to unlock your device, the ASUS warranty will be void, and Google video rental will also be unavailable because the device will be no longer protected by security mechanism.
En cuanto al problema con el GPS, no es mala noticia, pero le podría afectar a algunos usuarios que tengan este problema de fábrica. Los problemas con el módulo GPS está relacionado con el hardware. Así que ASUS no volverá a tener entre sus especificaciones el GPS.
The ASUS Transformer Prime is made from a metallic unibody design, so the material may affect the performance of the GPS when receiving signals from satellites. Please note that this product is not a professional GPS device, and signal performance can be easily influenced by factors including, but not limited to: weather, buildings, and surrounding environments. Please understand there are limitations when using the GPS function. To avoid inconveniencing users who demand a powerful GPS device, we made the decision to remove it from our specification sheet and marketing communications. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
