Cancel 3.2 Update?

Before anyone gets angry....
I tried searching "cancel update", "cancel postpone update", and a couple other combinations - still can't find the thread I'm looking for.
I remember reading that there is a way to cancel updates that have already been pushed to the device. After reading the reviews of 3.2 - I think I'll hold off for now... but the only option I have is to postpone (2 more times).
Can anyone shed light on how to permanently stop the update?
Thanks!

It won't automatically update and install! you will get a notification (in your notification bar ) that an update is available, it will ask you if you want to install the update, just click no.
After reading all the posts on here i'm definately not installing it.

Who told you this nonsense ? I am on 3.2 right now and wifi works exactly like on PRIME 1.6 (3.1 based)

Only issue I've had after 3.2 is Dice Player not loading, but think that's fixed now haven't found the new ver yet, so dunno what peeps are complaining about.

3.2 works great. It's definitely better than 3.1. I dont see a reason not to update unless your tab is rooted.
Does it fix everything people here wanted? Definitely no.
When you get your hope too high, you are going to be disappointed.
A lot of people here act like spoiled whinning kids .
They have no clue about how much work required to debug, program and test it.
They just want everything to be fixed in days. This happens to 3rd party developers as well and that's why they dont feel like their work being appreciated.
Seriously, enjoy what you have.

I'm interested in updating also but there are so many threads with problems.
Wifi problems
Compass not calibrating
Browser loading slower and hanging around 90% page loaded
Keyboard lag maybe worse
Do u have any of these problems?

im sticking with custom roms because i do NOT like the way 3.2 denies you the ability to right to SD cards, or any removable media. At least give us an option, assholes.

A lot of people here also preach about things, ignorantly making the assumption they know what others want.
Enjoying what I have is exactly what I want to do. I use remote connect to my PC all the time - and the new "circle" mouse pointer is a deal breaker for me. I'd simply like to stick with the pointer I have now.
As for the option to say "no" to the update... when is that given? My wife tells me "hey your computer told me to update" (awesome)... so now all I have is the "update" or "postpone" prompt. Will I still get the option?
Thanks!

You can allways try to freeze the DMClient app. Stopped me from getting the update.

I have not noticed any new issues with 3.2. My wifi & gps still work. In fact one problem seems to have gone away for the time being. That was having to push the power button multiple for my transformer to wake up.
Th default browser still suck with the lag & crashes.

I'm having at least:
- wi-fi problems (connection drops every couple of minutes, major speed decrease)
- browser window refreshing/redrawing much slower
Btw, for the wi-fi a possible temporary solutions is to set the connection to static as opposed to DHCP (the connection drops seem to be connected to DHCP). Also, take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16169854&postcount=32

Sorry I quoted the wrong person in my last post. Opera is really starting to piss me off. I tried editing my post 4 time and Once I hit save my text would disappear.

Would you mind elaborating on the inability to write to SD? I am on 3.2 and I can write to SD so you have me curious
-Dan

I don't know if there are other meanings of "write to SD" but I ugraded to 3.2 about 20 mins ago and I just created a ".doc" file with Polaris Office and saved directly to my external SD. I also created and deleted a folder from the stock file manager...

WOW, some people are so easilly swayed by what they read on the internet...
Clearly a site like XDA attracts people with problems and people that like to moan, the million other Asus Transformer owners that are perfectly happy don't count?
Get some perspective...

question: Can i disable the notification that comes up all the time asking me if i want to update?

Transformer screen triangle like flashings

I bought my TF back in early May, and while it rarely happens, I get triangle flashes on my screen (almost looks like a big artifact). Because it is very hard to explain, and rarely happens, I've never posted about it. Either way it doesn't bother me enough to want to RMA. Moving forward, I just watched Chomper's newest chroid Touchpad video (linked below), which shows almost the exact same thing I'm experiencing. It happens 26 seconds, 37 seconds, and a few more times thoughout. Unlike the triangle flash being in the middle of the screen, shown in the video, mine starts somewhere on the upper left hand side and ends on the middle of the bottom. After purchasing my TF, I unrooted immediately, flash prime over stock, and prime over prime without ever doing a full wipe. At least I don't think I did a full wipe prior to the first prime flashing, but I could be wrong.
Like I said, it rarely happens, but I just wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this or had any info on what causes this. Thanks!

i notice it on antutu startup ocasionally and i think once in dolphin tablet or the stock browser.

Note Slow

This is my first tablet and I feel it is too slow to make easy thing. I have a GS2 and it literally fly, but my note didnt. I want to do a factory reset to try but first I would like tp know your opinion.

Try removing some of the widgets...

Is not just through home pages, is the perfomance in general. In the stock email client I the lag is tremendous and I like the handwriting for inputs but I had to stop using because the lag.

That's very odd, I have no lag... In fact with the 2gb of ram it pretty much flies through everything I throw at it. Handwriting is the easiest way to put in info for me and I find there's no problem.
If there is a heap of lag, have you put any apps on that might have malware or be a virus because on the PC that's the 1st indication of a virus.
If you do the hard reset and find it works better then try 1 app at a time, especially if you sideload apps not from the playstore.
If there is still a heap of lag I'd return it especially as these are not cheap little toys...

Actually mine is very fast I manage to get the stock jelly bean on it and it is super fast right now. Try doing a factory restore and don't put so much widget

you can also try a task manager from the market
or don't use live wallpapers...
or try flashing a ROM if you're up to it...

Make sure power saving is not on. Thats most likely it.

What you're describing isn't typical. If it was people would be screaming bloody murder. Quite a few people have come from Teg3 tablets and have commented on an improvement in speed and fluidity and those tablets and the Note are the fastest Android tablets on the market right now.
- Did you buy the tablet new and did it perform the way you described before you loaded any of your own apps and settings on it?
- What model is it (8000, 8005, 8010, 8013) and are you using an SD card in it? If so, what kind of SD card and how is it formatted? If it's a 8000 or 8005 do you have a SIM in it and from what carrier?
- What region is it from and what's the current s/w build number? (Settings>about device)
- Have you tried restoring to the factory settings without loading any apps on it to see how it performs?
Here's a vid from a while ago showing mine doing a bunch of stuff. If yours isn't performing the same way something's wrong with it.

Are you using Exchange email account? I had the same problem till I re-installed this exch account and made syncing just for last month (not all over 10.000 emails like before).

Make sure u ain't using it while connected to wall charger or pc. I've noticed it lagging a lot in these two scenarios for some reason not known to me.

So did you ever get this resolved? I got my new sealed 32gb today and the email clients lag is horrible.also had terrible lag using browser and xda site. The video player is choppy. I have cleared the apps and even powered off and back on .I am very surprised it's this lag ridden.

It is very surprising. Mine has been lag free since day one.
All the responses to this thread have been on point. Try some of the tips, like make sure power saver mode is disabled, do a factory reset, make sure its not just one app doing that tto you, or maybe you have an email client trying to load 100,000 emails?
If you hold the home button, it brings out the ttask manager. Check ram usage and then clear the ram. See if that helps.
If none of that hhelps, try odining to stock firmware and if you still have lag after that, it is simply not a hardware issue and you should go get it replaced
Sent from my HTC Glacier running CM7

For anyone having lag, what is your build number and kernel date? You can find this in Settings > About Device.
Mine is Build IMM76D.N8010XWALG4 and a Monday Jul 30 kernel date. I have no lag whatsoever, though I don't use exchange sync, even with power saver on.

What does power saving do? (To the guy who said that power saving makes it lag)

The only lag I see is when you switch between multi window which has been known since day one. It has about a one second delay when switching between windows in multi screen. Not a big deal to me but other wise its seems fine. And if your complaining about anything else you did in that video then I dont think you'll ever be happy cause it seems fine to me especially with all the widgets and apps you have on the home screen and how many processes you were running.

Well I think I have nailed it down the 2 things that makeitstart lagging.
1. Stock mail client
2. Browsing with the stock browser and viewing XDA.
also can anyone else confirm engaget.com is very choppy in scrolling?

Stock browser remains extremely fluid no matter if u view XDA or engadget or any other website.
However, scrolling in Google Talk is very very choppy ....... but only in Portrait, which is weird! Anybody experiencing it?

[ Q ] Friend just rooted my phone. Browser annoyance. One finger zoom?????

A friend rooted my phone today since i don't know how. He said he left its rooted but nothing is flashed as far as roms. While browsing on my web now something very annoying is happening. Wether in landscape or portrait mode if i drag my finger on the edge of the screen on either side in zooms in and out instead of scrolling....is there a function that turns this off. It is driving me crazy.

Rooting wouldnt cause that to happen. What browser are you using? the stock one?

I believe it's a function under the motion settings
Sent from my VS920 4G using xda app-developers app

Yes i am using the stock browser. I did not see anything in the motion settings that revolves around what is happening. I also did not see anything in the browser settings that enables/disables it either.

The edge zooms in and out while touching the middle scrolls up and down. Tapping the screen also zooms in and out.

I dl the official jellybean update when it officially came out from vzw. I was not rooted then and i did not notice this at all. I only noticed it today after i was rooted. It is really annoying as my fingers mostly scroll along the edges of the screen. I use pinch to zoom and double tap. Is there a way to take it off? It is driving me nuts.

No you can't take it off as you can not change how an app uses a smartphone's touch functions. If its that big of a deal breaker for you then I don't know what to tell you as all apps have a set way to utilize the touch screen and not one of them have a way to alter the touch screen only the app itself. Also with all mobile phones there is no touch screen setting so if you want to drag your fingers up and down on the edge of the screen to scroll a website you will have to find a browser that utilizes that function.

But it didn't do it before i got rooted. He installed jellybean build 8 i believe and took it off cause the photos in the camera didn't work just the videos showed. I believe the build had a choice for the note 2 camera wich was chosen. None the less he brought it back to stock but kept it rooted.

Just talked to a friend on non rooted official jellybean release from verizon. His browser does NOT do this.

I think you're the only person that find it annoying as most don't see it as a big deal. That is mostly because a whole lot worse can happen to your phone and that isn't one of them. I have had signal issues,Wi-Fi issues,boot loops,sim card issues and even soft bricked my phone 3 times while rooting and flashing my phone. If you find your issue annoying then I can only imagine how you feel if you experience any of the problems I just mentioned.

Slow when updating apps...

When I turn on my tablet and the wi-fi is on there are usually apps that need updating. When apps are downloading the tablet slows to a crawl. If I'm reading I can hardly turn the pages! If I swipe to turn a page it's like 10 seconds. Is there something specific to look at that would bring the tablet to it's knees when it's downloading anything over wi-fi? When wi-fi is off it's just fine as far as flipping around to different things but kinda useless to not have wi-fi on. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Yes, stock everything. I had a feeling it was I/O because it's the worst during the download of the new app vs the actual installation of it. I know it's not the hardware limit because it never used to be this way before the last big update (months ago). Do others see the tablet lag so bad when downloading app updates?

Unfortunately, yes and most users using stock have this lag issue. Some have more than others... If you don't a lot of apps to install, you could try to do a factory reset and hope that it would help..
Also, you could try to clear all the memory from the apps or games that you don't use any more to give a little more reserved memory when you need them. You could also disable all the unused apps and games so you can reduce some cpu resource and memory during heavy usages..
Good luck..:fingers-crossed:

The easy solution is to disable auto-updating in the Play Store settings. I hate it anyway if my tools are doing stuff on their own schedule! I'm the boss here! I tell 'em when to update! LOL

Ya, I suppose that's probably the best thing to do since I didn't really want to go with a custom ROM. Then once in a while just turn it on and let it do all the updates. Strange how folks talk about how much better it is with a custom ROM. This implies that the problems are in software and can be fixed by software. Why doesn't Asus address these obvious problems? You'd think if something is so much better on their tablets, they would take a look at it and put the "fix" in their software.

You don't even have to turn it on. You still get notifications about updates waiting. They just don't install right away. Just go to the Play Store and hit 'Update All' - go have coffee. This has the added benefit that you can choose which apps to update. I'm still on the old Google Maps for example and will stay there until they bring "my Maps" back.
The speed and smoothness is a mix of software tweaks to deal with the slow memory of this tablet. The lag many users have is really due to cheap memory! I am currently running a really stripped down version of the Asus firmware called miniCromi-x on a fast class 10 SD card, and this thing flies! Best Quadrant score was 6900, most times I get between 6200 - 6500.
