ASUS Eee Pad Transformer gets maintenance update


ASUS has pushed out an over the air update to the Eee Pad Transformer tablet as well as the dock. It's a maintenance update that includes some really nice features (like Netflix support) as well as fixes some bugs and adds some functionality. For a tablet that many people were afraid would lag behind in updates because of ASUS customizations, the Transformer has shown resiliency and ASUS has gotten updates to the Transformer in a really timely manner. Check out the change log after the break.


  • Build number: 8.6.5.9-20110816
  • Wifi updated: v5.2.58
  • GPS updated: v5.5.8
  • MobileDock version updated: 0213
  • Bluetooth v6.20
  • Android compatibility mode for apps added.
  • Keyboard on/off switch when docked added.
  • Selectable cursor type option added (arrow or circle).
  • Mouse cursor trackpad movement reversed.
  • Device faster to turn on.
  • More MyZine options added, and now re-sizable.
  • Dock typing lag greatly improved.
  • Multiple languages (with regional dialects) added.
  • Compass issue fixed.
  • Netflix now supported out of the box
The update has really addressed a lot of the issues people had with the ASUS Android 3.2 update. We are very happy to see ASUS taking user's feedback to heart and implementing the appropriate updates.
