Where were you able to get a working apk for Zinio? I couldn't find anything on their website about android support. I really want to use their service, but without an app for my TF I just can't get myself to take the plunge.

Seemed to be installed as part of the 3.1 release (was certainly on the leaked version)

Well, that just makes me even more excited for the update.
(Just got the tablet end of last week, so I'm still in that hesitant stage before rooting / custom romming her)
It is on the 3.1 that Roach posted.
Did any of you guys used Zinio yet? I would like some feedback...
I used it on the iPad and it was good. Transformer is coming today so I'll post how it works here.

I would greatly appreciate it. I really enjoy me some mags, but it's a pain in my (you know) to keep track of all those print copies, not to mention how much space they take up.
Zinio looks like my solution, I just can't do it without an app for my tf you know? But yeah, if you could post your thoughts I'd be quite grateful.
Yeah it came with the 3.1 update and it works fine although the text has been a bit blurry a couple of times but it seemed to sort itself, there's not a lot of options either its very basic but i love reading my mags subscriptions on my transformer so it does me fine

Looks like it was just released today on the android market... talk about weird timing.

Yea, was just going to post the link myself as well. I'm not sure it's exactly the same thing, but I love Pulse for all my online reading at least. Just about every site has an RSS feed these days
Just noticed that I can't view my magazines if im offline, that's a bit rubbish

Well u have to download that they can be viewed offline. Also the zinio version that ships with the 3.1 update no longer works since there is a version on the market the one pre loaded in the tf101 is no longer supported by zinio and doesn't work is now u have two apps in the app drawer which is kinda anoying

That is really annoying. On another note, I kind of wish this app wasn't included in the first place. I have no need / use for it, but don't wish to root the TF, just to remove it. Although, I should admit that I have found most of the other "bloatware" apps that have been included quite useful (Polaris, for example)
Nook app
I've been using the Nook app for magazine reading. Images are sharper than Zinio in the few mags I've tried and the "Article View" is really useful. The only con is that the app is a little slow. Hopefully the 3.1 overclock kernels are not too far away (release the codes Asus, lol).

have to say that mine is definitely more snappy, have done a restart since install? My broswed is much faster as is music ap scrolling video quality in YouTube is much better too. Imo a definite improvement on my machine, there seems to be varying results which i find odd :-(
wow keyboard lag system lag!!!!! NOT HAPPY!!!!
keyboard lag reached a new high when browsing forums and larger webpages.
I AM NOT AMUSED
Slower here, transitions are even worse than before
Quandrant went from 2000 to 1500!
I'm am seeing all of the above - starting to wish I hadn't upgraded. Scalable widgets are great but not worth the slow-down - especially as I don't even have the option of a gmail widget at the moment!

I just received my TF today so can't compare with Android versions before 3.1, but video from YouTube seems to load slowly (lengthy buffering) even for short clips.
I also noted keyboard lag.

I have to agree with you. In general my experience has been pleasant. Although I haven't had the update for very long I have had to force stop the browser as it got extremely slow and wouldn't load pages (at one point the page was just lines of green) properly after a while of use. Has anyone come across this issue?
Well I have to say I'm really happy with the update so far. I've still got my Gmail widget and i don't see any lag at all. Typing has been a breeze, before it used to lag a hell of a lot but I'm typing pretty fast ATM and its keeping up with me no problem. I've also seen that some people cannot get the zinio app to work and I've been on mine and it works perfectly.
I don't understand how some people are getting different things from the same uodate.
Mabee because people rooted or summit? I've not touched mine its stock, although I wouldn't have thought that would have been a problem at all.

+1.. 3.1 is working flawlessly on my TF.. everything seems a lot more responsive
I am a bit confused about the different user experiences since upgrading also. I guess my unit was from one of the first batches as I have had it since a few days after launch, but I haven't put any custom roms or rooted or anything. And still I am getting a worse experience since upgrading, along with missing gmail widget.
Think I will have to do a factory reset and see if that fixes things

+1 works fine and still have the gmail widget
No lag here, it feels more tweaked out, youtube is fast, and the so called jutter effect while using the slider in the browser is'nt that bad as i saw in some vids.
I'm a happy camper with 3.1 (ww version)

After using the TF for some time after boot, the browser seems to force close without any error every time I open it and browse to a webpage. a reboot fixes it for awhile.
The you tube app works fine but I was trying to play a vimeo HD video in the browers and it wasn't pretty. audio is smooth but the video was just black for awhile and then showed up and started chopping.
I'm running the leaked 3.1
Overall performance seems good though.
Just did the ota upgrade last night and been browsing and checking youtube. Everything is working better for me.
Smooth browser scrolling
Can load large webpages
Keyboard lag much improved. Not perfect but workable.
720p video in youtube is smooth
Not fixed though is my weather widget on the home page. Will cut off the temperature a bit if rotating a certain way. No biggie.
Overall, I feel much better about this device.

So I have had the Transformer + Dock for a couple months now and love almost everything about it, except the responsiveness of the keyboard.
(I am rooted, have a custom ROM installed (Revolver), and am OC'ed 1.52 GHz.)
It lags in any application I use it with (Browser, XDA app, etc). It's not a huge problem but it would be nice if it could keep up with my typing, so does anyone know of any applications or tricks I could do to speed up its responsiveness?
Thanks for any tips in advance.
So, a while back I worked as a cop. You know those panasonic toughbooks that the military and cops use? I had one of those. My keyboard was rubberized so it could be water resistant. The guys complained all the time that they couldn't type their reports that well with such a keyboard. You know what I did? I started typing more definely and worked on my finger strength. In no time, I could type just as fast and accurate as I could on a normal keyboard.
The answer to your question is no there's no way to make the keyboard more responsive. It's a hardware thing. Either learn to live with it or not.

Thanks for the response. I decided to try a wired USB keyboard and see how that compared to the dock and suprisingly after switching back and forth I don't really see a difference anymore. Probably more of a placebo than anything but typing this out on the dock feels exactly the same as typing other comments with the keyboard. Probably just me taking things out of proportion in terms of the sluggishness of the dock, especially since I am using a tablet compared to my normal high end laptop.
Only problems I've had are software related; e.g. browser textarea's

It's more of an Android/Keyboard/Tegra2 thing. Current tablets are still lacking the computing power. I think the best solution is to get a more powerful tablet, maybe TF201, lol.
I recentley flashed the Krakd ROM and the keyboard suddenly picks up everything instantly. It may be a coincidence, but I also had the lag when I first bought my tablet and dock.

What's the system up time?
Best tip is don't use the stock browser (or any browser that uses the stock browser, like Dolphin).
Try Opera, it's blisteringly fast, no keyboard lag here, and it's much better than the stock browser to boot.
I'm not sure when you say up time, but I have had this installed for the past week.

I'm sure the lag will be fixed in the ICS, at least I hope it will be.

Funny you mention this, the first thing I did was install Dolphin and have been using that, then on Friday my GF picked it up and started using the stock browser (Woman >.> lol) but surprisingly it is actually more responsive than both Opera and Dolphin, I was pleasantly surprised!

Uptime, this is how long since you powered down or rebooted your device. try running 'uptime' in the terminal.

In that case, I typically reboot in the morning and night after clearing the cache. So only 9 hours or so.

Has anyone had noticeable lag while using G+, and if so were you able to correct it. I'm on. 26 and rooted, also tried using performance mode.
I didn't experience this type of lag when using the prime.
Edit: even with a clean wipe it still lags.

No lag for me. works fine.
Had the same lag - really annoying: when swiping, each time an image is loaded it stuttered a lot ...
Because a lot of apps just did not work smooth I swapped my Asus for an iPad3 and G+ was working very smooth on there ...
But I could not stand the closed Apple eco system, so I also returned the iPad3.
Now I don't have any tablet anyore ... just waiting for a better Android Tablet.
My question is: Did I have a bad Infinity and do other Infnity uses have a smooth experience with G+?
So should I just try with an other Infinity?
I saw a review on youtube mentioning the lag for stuff like this and the guy said it had to do with the contention between the android firmware and the tegra drivers. They dont like playing well together in those situations. But the hope is that JB (when we get it) will be much better integrated.

Yeah, I hope JB will fix this, and plan on unlocking and running cm 10 when the devs get a running build to see if it is truly 'buttery smooth'.

Hi, I'm considering trying out data2sd since I'm quite fed up with lag on my infinity so I would like some advice, or rather just some confirmations.
Does data2sd fix lag in apps like chrome, which is unusable completely for me. In fact any browser is awful on infinity except the stock and yes I'm using browser2ram on CromiX.
I even experience lag sometimes when I click on a text box. It takes several seconds for SwiftKey to open, and sometimes even the text input is laggy. This applies to all apps I have installed.
Even Gmail can be laggy while selecting emails or switching tags. Absolutely frustrating experience.
Overall, how does data2sd feel for you and what difference have you noticed using it?
Btw, I'm planning on getting a SanDisk 32gb class 10 micro sd for this, so is the process for Cromi just selecting the kernel in the installer or do I have to flash the mount data2sd file before installing the Rom?
Thanks in advance guys

Sounds like you have got some issues there. You shouldn't be having that sort of lag on CROMi-X
Have you done a clean install to see what it is like before installing swiftkey. Last time I used it it had become quite laggy but that was ages ago. I use the google JB keyboard now which is now superior to swiftkey in all respects other than maybe the prediction engine.

Thanks, I'm gonna try that. I was actually planning to do a full wipe and clean install since that usually fixes things, but I'm wondering if data2sd can make my tablet with your rom even faster, especially regarding the browsers' lag

People say it doesn't really do much on the latest version of CROMi-X and can be more to maintain. Like I said version 4.6.9 literally flies for me and most people.

Hi,
I must say I have these problems, too.
I even put my infinity on local e-bay like site to sell it as i am just frustrated and annoyed by it.
I have to admit I haven't done a clean install for some time now. I think since the first version.
So, it sounds like i will need to do a clean install once again.
But I am worried about one thing. I have done clean installs on every single ROM i have used on all my devices, and the story is always the same.
Yes, experiance is much better, but only for limited time. When i install like 50 apps and have all sorts of stuff going on - the tablet just can't cope with it. It is specially noticeable when the tablet is in sleep mode without WIFI or SYNC. When i wake it up, press wifi and sync - whooaaa, i can just leave it there for some time and forget about it. Than again, sometimes it is just normal. Until i open browser, that is.
Well, anyway, i just wanted to say, that after some time thing go bad again.
I will try clean install right now, to prove me wrong
Will report in a week .
