ASUS Transformer Prime OTA Update Rolling Out

The latest twist in the Asus Transformer Prime saga is here, with an over-the-air firmware update that supposedly goes some way to improving the tablet’s much-maligned GPS performance by updating the driver — if posters on xda-developers are to be believed.

Since launch, the ASUS Transformer Prime’s GPS issues have hampered an otherwise stellar tablet. To make matters worse, ASUS confirmed that the problem was due to the Prime’s all-aluminium construction, indicating that a software fix was unlikely. Indeed ASUS were forced to release a new version of the Prime (TF700T), with an updated back panel to improve the GPS functionality. However, ASUS have not given up all hope on the original Prime as a new OTA update (V9.4.2.7) is rolling out, which could fix the GPS drivers.
The OTA update has not gone live for everyone and in some cases it fails during installation. Fortunately, XDA poster DroidHam has outlined a simple fix to update your Prime to the latest version:

The new firmware updates the GPS drivers to version 6.9.13, but unfortunately, our tests suggest that it does not in fact fix the GPS issues at all. As you can see from the screenshots below, we have updated the Transformer Prime with the latest OTA update and we are still unable to get a GPS fix.
