Updates, updates, and more updates - this time it is for the Asus Fonepad. The Asus Fonepad has begun receiving update 3.1.16, an incremental upgrade from 3.1.11. You can expect mainly bug fixes and improved stability (changelog found below).

The update has gone live and is available via over-the-air (OTA) or can be manually updated. The update is currently available for three SKU versions of the Fonepad that include WW, TW, and JP SKU's. If you get the OTA update, your device will automatically download and install the correct update. If you want to manually update your Fonepad, you need to make sure you download the correct file for your Fonepad. To make sure you select the correct file go, to your device settings, then tap "About Tablet," and check the build number. The build will look like the following "WW_epad-9.X.X.X._2012xxxx." Look for the SKU (WW, TW, and JP) in the build number to identify which file you need.

Update Improvements:
  • Bug fixes for game execution, e.g. NBA2k13, Space Hunter, and LINE Homerun Battle Burst.
  • APN modification for carriers.
  • Optimized power consumption for music playing.
  • System performance fine-tuning.
A friendly reminder from Asus when you manually update, "Please note that the firmware update cannot do *SKU conversions* or downgrades of your current software version. Using the wrong SKU may cause an update failure. You can only update your software version if you use the same SKU."

For download links for the WW, TW, and JP SKU's go to Asus.com.
