Android 4.1 - TF700

Deusdies · Sep 27, 2012

F*** ME!

I just got my infinity exchanged at BB for the Galaxy Note 10.1 because I wasn't really happy with the responsiveness of the TF700.

I guess I'll monitor these forums and see if the I/O problem has been fixed (which is the gripe for me, really don't know how Asus let this slide through). If it has, back to the Infinity I go

I love my infinity... may I ask why you brought it back?

I'm still under my 30day trial for my note 10.1. I hope users immediately post thoughts and usage of jellybean update. The note 10.1 is an excellent device. Bit if this JB update really improves the infinity pad overall, as far as software issues go, I will seriously consider exchanging. I still have my prime dock. Only thing that kept me away from getting infinity pad originally was reading all the same various software issues like alot of prime users had. I think I only have a week or so left of the 30day trial. Decisions, Decisions.

I am not quite sure why people are having so many issues with I/O. I have a C7 model which has run relatively smoothly since day one, even stock. I have never had any lockups or 'ANR' popups, nor have I ever had to use any of the special tweak scripts or Browser2ram to improve performance. Trust me...I know what I/O issues are. I had the TF201 prior to owning this and it was BAD. My only gripe with the TF700 has been the choppiness of the UI, but 98% of that seems to be fixed by selecting a new launcher or shell. I have a wee-bit of light bleed, but unless I am in a completely dark room and on the boot screen I never even know it is there. I have also noticed a bit of bluetooth lag with my keyboard, though it could just be from my batteries not being changed.

I do begin to wonder how many folks are actually having genuine I/O issues...and how many folks are having user based issues....or even perhaps a reverse placebo effect. If you frequent these forums like myself daily, and continue to see so many negative threads and threads from neurotic folks holding their hardware in a totally unrealistic for day to day performance and daily use environment to see some faint flaw that no person in a million years would ever notice except for yourself...it can make a person begin to get paranoid about their own device. The issue is that the loudest majority is always the people with a perceived issue, and they each make a thread over it. The people who genuinely have issues need be sorted out and dealt with properly.

I am aware this post does not help much, if at all, but this device has been faithful to me since day one. I use it in school as my main device and out on the town.

I just figured I would chime in with a positive experience....and yes this is my first and only TF700!

:laugh:

I'll send you a message after I've played around with JB for a little bit. I'm sure a bunch of people will post their experiences with the update too, but it's been forever since we were last able to discuss builds lol.

As far as issues go with my Infinity, well... I haven't noticed any major ones. It performs better than my Prime; barely any ANR's and it just feels smoother. No screen lifting. Barely any screen bleed (which is my only issue. I only notice it on slash and boot animation). Overall I'm very satisfied

I haven't had a chance to play with the Note 10.1, so I can't comment on how it may perform in comparison though.

It'd be cool if Asus/Gary opened up the community based betas again though, I enjoyed testing for them. Maybe they will after the JB update?

Oh and back up your flash player if this link holds true. I know JB doesn't use flash, but according to this the update might take it out..

I'm not saying this is not correct, but what does campus life know that no one else knows?

Woody

I think I answered my own question. This appears to be Asus organization. I read one article when this first announced that indicated Asus was coming out with it's own version of flash. No article I've seen since mentions this.???
I probably miss read article and it may have referred to Java not flash. Sorry for any confusion.

This is a really good news. I am looking forward to seeing Project Butter on my TF700. With ICS, my stock TF700 lags quite badly. My Sensation even running Sense 4 seems a lot faster than my TF700, even though it is just stock Android.

i'll be able to upgrade my unlocked Infinity using the methods in the Development section, right? new to the Transformer here, just want to make sure i'm prepared.

Dude you stole the words from my mind. Im totally the same, no issues with the 700. If people want to know what lag is go try a prime for a few days!!!!!

Well we know when the OTA starts to download in the backgroud. The device starts to slow down, apps crashing and random reboots. Its the great I/O feature to show when some background downloading happening

Same happened when had the .30 update coming. device was almost unusable for a while, then it rebooted by itself, when started back up got notification that update ready to install

It sounds like your Infinity is especially bad, lol! No wonder you complain. Well hopefully this update will help.

Release Update

North American Update - 9/27/2012
10.4.4.14.1 Release is held.

For those users in the US and Canada, the 10.4.4.16 Release should be available early next week. A couple of applications that were recently updated (Facebook 1.9.10 on 9/20 as one example) required a last minute firmware update for the keyboard to operate correctly in the "Comment" area with Android 4.1. Sorry about the slight delay but this fix needed to be implemented before release.

Stiff · Sep 27, 2012

Do you have any information about WW version ?
Thanks

Hmmm. I'm not even going to update as I'm on a custom rom, but people here are so anxious to get this update, it seems cruel to put it off just so facebook users with keyboard docks can make comments. I think we expect there to be glitches with apps that haven't yet updated compatibility with Jelly Bean, but is it really necessary to delay the OTA for that?

Why the TF201 update for JB was not held. :crying:

Why would they release this with a known bug in such a massively popular app, especially it would take just a short time to fix? It's funny, sometimes I think vendors will get flak no matter what they do.

I'll wait for cm10 to become solid
They probably will dissect this update and use what's needed only

Thanks for the update, Gary. Hopefully most users will understand that fixing a few last-minute bugs before the rollout is preferable to having those issues rear their ugly heads afterwards.

then we will have 50 threads from facebook users who use their keyboards to comment, complaining that this update sucks.

You are probably right, which is why it actually seems ill-advised to delay. Yes, FB is a major app, but there are going to be many incompatibilities at first until the app devs can make needed changes. It just seems like this community really needs this update at this time.
