Updates - Asus Transformer TF700

It seems that my infinity is lagging some times, its inconsistent and I get "XXX is not responding"quite often and then close or wait, and when I connect the dock it happends even more often, and balanced mode seems to give better benchmark results than performance same story in games, this didn't happend on my prime but it did happend on tf300(I got the prime in February and returned it because the camera broke and I got the tf300 1 week Go and returned that as well for getting stuck really often)
This isn't so much a hardware problem but software look at Acer iconia tab a700 yes it is slower because of t30(infinity runs on t33) but it is consistent unlike the tf300 and 700 so Asus plz fix

There are believed to be I/O issues in the Infinity (and all Transformers for that matter). Using custom I/O scheduler after rooting seems to speed things up for those who did it, but doesn't remove the delays while installing apps etc. Actually, I believe this is pretty typical to Android devices, but I haven't used other high-end tablets, so can't compare with these.

My gnexus seemed to be fairly laggy on ics but jb seems to fix everything, and I don't seem t have any problems with multitasking

Well, I hope they shove JB out of the door soon, then. I love my TF700, but the I/O issues are a bit frustrating, since they actually lock up the device entirely. Hope they can patch it out, or that the ROM chefs in here can work their magic and kill the bug.
In reference to the OP statement about the Iconia A700's upposed fluidity: I've see several reviews chastizing the A700 for not being able to fluidly play HD video. The choppyness is clearly demonstrated in quite a few video reviews, as well. (I'm not saying that I/O is at fault in that case as well -- it might be the Tegra 3 chip having issues pushing all these pixels. Who will tell?)

The tf700 runs smoothly 1080p files, it may be because of the new t33, and you can see a major difference between the fluidity of the a700 and tf700

This is interesting, as it is said to be the other way around with the device's speed here (but perhaps, on the other hand, browser doesn't depend on I/O so much):

Hmmm this seems rather odd to see ics crush jb but in jb I do get some really poor benchmarks, on antutu I get 3943 I get a lower score on the CPU compared to ics but that's fine because the os is much more polished
, there is literally no lag in the graphics I compared it to the iPhone 4s and iPad 3 and believe it or not jb is slightly smother in basic os operations and its also faster when opening apps oh and in vellamo I get ~1500 both on my tf700 and jelly beaned nexus which is quite impressive for a 8 month+ phone,
One more thing worth noticing is that on dolphin(tf700) I get I lower browsermark score compared to the stock browser,
But hey in the end those are just numbers and jb is a much smoother is that ics and dolphin runs in the tf700 better than stock
I may post a video just to show you how smooth jelly bean is

That's good to hear and actually shows how much more we should focus on everyday performance rather than benchmarks.

Browser

Is it just me or does the ICS browser suck?
I installed chrome, but it has the same issue where it takes awhile for it to be responsive.
ICS+ browser is a bit better, but not leaps and bounds.
Dolphin is ok, certainly better than above. Still doesn't feel very responsive or fluid though.
Is there any decent tablet browser available?

I'm having no love with the browser. Feels like browsing on a 56k modem using some ancient linux distro. I tried all of them, with Maxthon being the fastest. Unfortunately Maxthon became unstable within a day.
The browser is turning into a dealbreaker. Maybe my expectations were too high.
please tell me that they fix this!! a quadcore and browser cant run smooth?!?
i'm using chrome and dolphin HD and it seems to be working fine. why would you all use stock browser anyways?
From what i've read, the browser is handled using the Tegra 3's "companion core."
Because it's clocked at such a slow speed, it has some lag.
I have been using Dolphin on both my TF300 and TF101. I really can't tell any difference in the time is takes to load a page on both tablets.
I have tried other browsers but keep coming back to Dolphin.

Totally disappointing experience. Browsing is a nightmare on my tf300t device. it's slightly better than tegra 2 devices (acer a500 and asus tf100), however still not ready for prime time.

Stock browser is definitely sluggish. Downloaded Dolphin Browser for the first time and it works great, no issues here.
After testing just about every browser available, I have found that Dolphin and ICS Browser+ are the best options for me.
There is still an occasional lag when loading a new page where all input is ignored for upto 3+ seconds.
Flash in dolphin plays fine, but you cannot go full screen, then it crashes.
I and many others have same problem on prime (tf201)
and the whole tab isjust freaking slow.
I believe it's definitely asus crapware and maybe bad tegra3 optimization from asus.
as far as I know, htc one x (also tegra3) runs browsers just fine.
hell, my amaze 4g (dualcore s3 snapdragon) is just flying on ICS... while prime is dragging its tail
I'm freaking disappointed with asus... I really thought this will be my mobile workhores... but ist a piece of crap
Opera mobile runs flawless for me. My prime performance is great. no lag at all. UI super fluid & browser scrolling super fluid. I can't speak for some but me along with others have primes that work great.
Browser issues and other things are very well documented across majority of different devices on ICS. so not an Asus specific issue.
don't believe the hype. lol
I use the Chrome beta. Turn off page preloading and it runs fairly smooth. I'll give Opera Mobile a try later on, though; I like Opera on my desktop.
Just ran my TF300 through Vellamo. It scored pretty much exactly where you'd expect: slightly worse than the Prime, but better than most anything else. So, if a web benchmark is saying our device is great on the web... the issue must lie somewhere else, e.g. slow cache speeds (hypothetical idea)
I like Dolphin, but it occasionally crashes when I have multiple tabs open. However, when you reopen Dolphin, it forgets all the tabs that you had open just before the crash. Is there any way to fix that?
Mx browser no problems at all.....

Performance rom

Hi, which. Rom would you guys recommend for gaming? I am on cromi. (Not updated it like 1.5 months) and performance is really bad even after a clean flash. Tell me recommended rom and it's settings(dpi, kernel, odex deodex etc.) please. Keyboard lagging, browser lagging, games are lagging...

Rom: Cromi-X 4.3RC2 with _That's V2 Kernal
UPDATE FOR TF700 USERS!!! AND THE 4.2.1 UPDATE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204100
You can install new CROMi-X RC2 realease, but it hasn't really reached its maximum possible performance. You may want to consider waiting some time for more tweakable releases. Hund's kernel should also improve before it reaches its maximum potential
If you're really looking for a high performance right now, consider installing latest 4.1 CROMi, and then applying lucius.zen's tweak guide, as it gets the **** out of your tf700. Right now, it really kicks ass, is more stable and tweaked than CROMi-X.
imho, in terms of gaming and multitasking, optimized 4.1 is way better than Xenogenesis. If you don't mind spending some time on applying these genius tips written by lucius.zen, then try it out!
Have been using CROMi ever since 3.4.4 and the performance on this thing is uncomparable to stock. As far as gaming, I would say it is somewhat better than before I switched but there is still some lag. The biggest tweak I make is switching it to performance mode. As the previous reply said, there are tweaks where you can overclock the $h1t out of your tab and gaming performance may improve, but you should not be having performance issues with other things such as browsing, etc. I am on the RC2-X now and the browsing absolutely flies on stock browser, and anything other than gaming is just flush, no hesitancy. However, when it comes to gaming, I still get some lag. Ravensword does not give me any issues, and neither does Arcane legends, but MC4 and RR3 (both sideloaded) give me some problems. Maybe try a factory reset w/ clean install of new CROMi and see if it improves. If you would rather wait on the final release of 4.3 (not the release candidate), pretty sure it will be up within 24 hours.
So I flashed latest cromi x, and as you guys said stock browser is awesome, gaming is much good, I mean I was lagging on temple run etc, but now its better. So thanks for your advices. And 4.2 has some new features I liked them

That's great. Many fixes were brought with 4.2.1, but new bugs were also created. Did you dirty flash CromiX or did perform a clean flash? Also, performance will increase as the kernal and rom exits beta/RC stage. I am also excited for Hundsbuah to get his oc kernal fixed. With 3.0.2 I could get a 6800 Quadrant which is outstanding, to me anyways . But his bluetooth part of the kernal is messed up some.

I'm a noob, but I was really impressed with Bryce kernel's performance when flashed on top of CM10.1. One of the best parts of owning a device with developer support is watching it get faster and faster as it ages.
Would definitely recommend clean install for maximized performance. If you did not clean install and you are happy, you will be ecstatic with clean install.
cromi-x 5.1.1
Cromi-x 5.1.1 is really smooth an with hunds you can control everything (gpu and cpu) so i would think its really good for gaming. But i don't play many heavy games.

I would turn your attention to the fairly new, cmb rom out for the 700. The Bryce kernel Is known to be working with this rom. Come check out our thread. Thx lj50036:laugh:

I've been trying a lot of things since I am new to this tablet and wanted to report what's worked well to get this game going.
First CROMi-X with hunds OC kernel helps a lot. The stutter is a lot less but still noticeable.
What works well to get the speed and FPS to a good level is to use the Cromi tools and change the resolution to the TF300 (1280x800). I don't even re-boot just make the change and then load the madden game. When I'm finished I change it back. No need to reboot.
Not elegant but it does make the game playable. Now if they could only dump the on-line BS.
Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Anyone still using/buying an Asus tf300

Just wondering if anyone is still using their tf300 and how good is it running, because I just bought one and really wanted the keyboard that can attach to the tablet, which only the transformers seem to do that (which I also bought). I was going to get a tf700 but I dont think they should be making a 1080p screen with 1gb of ram and a tegra 3, tegra 4 and 1080p would be a much better match IMO. I'm excited to get my tf300 in the next week or so.

Yes I love mine on CMB 4.4.2, but i also have a 700, and I think your kind of right, and kinda of wrong.. For video and streaming which is a lot of what I do with mine...it blows the 300 out of the water.. There are very few games out there the for it that it cant run at least at 30 FPS....But they are both very good tablet with unlocked bootloader and custom roms... The stock stuff is bloated and overwhelms the hardware after not that much usage...
I think you will be very happy with your purchase... If you every have any questions, don't hesitate to drop me a line....As always thx lj
Thanks, and I heard that streaming was bad on the tf700, but I guess it differed from person to person and device to device, heck my tegra 2 Acer a500 felt smoother than my nexus 7 tegra 3 that I recently sold, so I hope its good

Yeah the stock ROM isn't that stable or good. Get a custom ROM: CROMi-x or something KitKat flavored.

Thanks everybody.
By 4.2 I was referring to an in asus stock option.
I'd love as stock Kit Kat as possible. Does stock android support the keyboard battery combo? Anybody have any good links?
The only rooting I've done was my GS3 using motochopper but left everything stock just needed hotspotting. So if there is a rooting boot camp please share.

In short: JB is older, more mature, most bugs ironed out. KK is cutting edge, running noticeably smoother, but you might run into one or another bug.

dual booting with xubuntu-13.04 - a little buggy but works pretty good ( i'm pretty noobish with linux anyways ) boots faster than android.
good luck with your tab and remember to read read and reread the dev threads (make sure you know what your doing before making any changes to your tab). also look into nvflash before you do anything.
It finally got here, and has a light scratch on the screen and on the back... Oh well hope it runs good

Slow and not so responsive

Hi,

Is this something to expect from this kind of tablet or is there a solution for it?

Feast and smooth like you see on the latest tablets? (Android or iOS). There is a delay when the keyboard opens, a delay when the screen rotates and when apps are loading

No not as fast as the latest tablets, this is a 3~ year old tablet
Not sure but try some of the 4.3.1 ROMs - I've seen some people write that those actually run better.
