Last night I upgraded my XL from 2.3.4 to 4.03. I find the browser to be very slow and if I want to open a secondary site, I now I click on post a reply, it came back with , www........not available. This time it worked on second try but normally I just have to give up. Also why does it keeps underlining as I type?

Do you find the same things or did I miss some thing?

First thing you missed was telling us what version/date you installed - LOL.  The best working one was from 0331 (03/31/12).  0406 is bloated and 0514 is a X-10 beta that a lot of programs have been crashing on.

 ;)mine is lightning fast and reliable with 0331

How do you know what version you have that is how do you know if you have 0331 or 406 or 0514?

You will see the date as part of the image file name.

Or you can go into Settings then select "about tablet" and look at the build number. 

[Jimdi]

What did you download? 

look at the IMG file - that you extracted and flashed into the airpad -

the name should contain the digits that match the version like XXXXXXX0331 or XXXXXXXXX0514 etc....

Or post the name of the img file you used and someone will tell you.

I think I have 0331 because under About Tablet it has 0331 as the last 4 digits in the build number.

My browser also is slow and many times will not respond until the entire page is loaded and if I try to get it to scroll it won't respond and I get the message that the browser is not responding so I tap wait  even the tablet will be sluggish at times even if the browser is not running many times after it wakes up from being suspend even after it has fully reconnected to my router.

[Jimdi]

Is it just 0331 or have you loaded a bunch of apps?   My browser dolphin flies.... some apps will dog down any system.   
See how it runs with just ics and go from there.  I find ics0331 much faster than 2.3.4 across the board.

X10 DEPOT:
how about an update

[Jimdi]

I agree haven't heard much since Easter

I would like to see the momo11 star image run on the XL. if anyone gets a copy please let me know.

Thanks,

I've learned from dealing with the factories that any date that they indicate really does not mean anything. I do know that they are working on it, and it will get done. They are promising a new version soon.
 

The last update I see in this thread is June.  Has there been any word of an official X10 ICS for the Airpad XL?  I have see a lot of posts about beta's and unofficial versions.  Have I missed a posting about it?  Is it in a different thread?

Or has the factory just given up on the project?

look in the cm9 / cm10 upgrade thread

I was using the latest CM9 MOD and it was a improvement over the earlier version but still has the issue of running the battery down to fast even with Bluetooth turned off in less then 10 minutes it would be down to 94% but with the 0331 version it only went down to 98 percent in 10 minutes. Also it has a very bad bug where it does not shutdown the tablet when it gets below 6 percent of battery charge remaining or even below 2 percent, it just warns you at 15 percent and then 5 but will not auto shutdown and will just cut off so if you have it in sleep mode and forget it will not shutdown and just cut off risking damage to the system files.
I think maybe it is written for a tablet that has a different battery capacity and there for does not properly calculate the discharge rate of the battery.
I went back to 0331 but really miss  and the more stable connection to the Bluetooth dongle where unlike the 0331 image it does not disconnect from the Bluetooth Dongle once it goes to sleep requiring a reboot of the tablet to get it working plus with 0331 if you have the dongle plugged in when you turn on the tablet it won't enable Bluetooth I also miss the Bluetooth Audio support of the CM9 Mod.

CM9 has some really cool features like the option to either shutdown or reboot or reboot in recovery mode or switch to silent mode or switch profiles but the battery issue is a problem and needs to be addressed.

CM10 has the same battery issue and is too slow.

Has anyone gotten the 0331 image to support Bluetooth Audio. On my AorpadXL it still does not play the audio through my Bluetooth Speaker even though I have Phone Audio and Media Audio Check Marked and it even makes the light on my bluetooth dongle flicker indicating it is connect to the Bluetooth speaker waiting for audio to be played.
It worked in the CM9 MOD but I did not like how CM9 ran the battery down way to fast (even with the Bluetooth turned off) and did not auto shutdown when the battery got below 6 percent charge.
Is there a certain brand and model number of Bluetooth Dongle that works with Bluetooth Audio in 0331?
