I haven't gotten the update yet but for those who have, please share impressions. Good, bad or whatever. Given how underwhelming stock ICS is on this tab, I wonder how stock JB stacks. I'm glad this is officially out because chances are I'll resort to an official JB custom ROM that'll make this tab sing than stick with stock.
Official TF300T Jelly Bean Impressions
- Thread starter TheAggression
- Start date
JellyBean is here!
I am looking forward to installing Google Now, however, that would be great on my Razr Maxx too.
Just got the update. I've tooled around just a few minutes, but other than the unlock function, I can't really see much different. It definitely is not an overwhelming change like ICS was for me. I'll come back with more as I spend more time with it.

you mean there's no google now and you're trying to "install" it?
the new voice search and google now are the main reason i want to update
EDIT:
thanks, it talks back to you, right?
Isn't Google now an in built feature? Should be somewhere in the notification drawer.
No love for the European TF300s.. :S just checked for update but found nothing, do any of you guys have clue when the European updates might be incoming?
Yeah it talked back to me stating the weather forecast.

The interface hasn't changed but after my second reboot, this thing is runniing SO much faster. I can actaully update apps from the play store without the dreaded Wait/Close prompt. Transitions are much smoother (Animation for changing Home Screens and swipping through my app list.
Good to know...seems like the I/o issues have been fixed.

Some changes i've noticed:
- it runs smoother than .30, really smoother, at least smoother. i noticed slow-ness when open quickoffice hd in power saving mode when it was .30, now with the same power saving mode, it's faster (like about 2-3 seconds), quickoffice is kinda a heavy apps i think, of course you won't have any problem in balanced or performance mode.
- new animation when open or exit apps, and i like it, of course the animation runs smooth too
- you can now disable the smartdimmer feature in settings->asus customized settings (thanks to jgaf he figured out this)
- because of google new voice search, we now have a new text-to-speech engine (the same as google voice search), and she sounds "sweet", the old one is gone, imo the old one sucks, can't really here anything, this new one is better than siri, sounds better, at least with the English US i believe.
- of course we have a new google voice search and google now, which is the feature i've been waiting for, help me practice my english
- looks like google has changed the "Tab UI" a little bit, for example: on .30 firmware, when you go to settings->apps you see "Downloaded", "Running", "All", to switch between these "tabs" you have to tap on them, but now with jelly bean, you can swipe left and right to switch, also the "tab menu" looks nicer (like windows phone i think)

so... no flash player with this update?? I think i might skip it just because of that.
If you had flash already installed you don't need to worry about it. I still have flash player and it works.

Same as nooktablet with about 300MB free after. I usually had 500-600MB before.Anyone with JB update can say anthing about the ram usage? tks
And I unrooted without Voodoo before the update. Not able to root at this point.
Do you notice any performance issues when you are running your usual apps or games as compared to before?
The browser doesn't do all of the lag dancing that it used to do. Haven't seen the wait/close dialog yet. There's some different animations in your installed apps section the Play store when updating an app. ES File Explorer seems to be having some issues though as it's forced closed twice while trying to copy files from my home network, something I've never seen ever. Been using it on three phones and this tablet and never experienced a problem until now.
I'm sure they will release an update: i know that JB has been wreaking havoc with some developers on the play store
