lag/scrolling on xda forums

Does any on suffer with the same thing when scrolling on xda forums? Its like the browser can't keep up and all squares appear for a second or so till it finally settles down. Most other websites are the OK although I have noticed it on other ones too. I've tried dolphin browser too but the same thing happens.

Seems like it happens sometimes, but I use XDA Premium

I get this too- parts of the screen will be blank for a second or two, especially when scrolling from quickly from one end to the other. I have the default set to display 50 posts per page- maybe it might be more responsive with less posts.

Thanks for the reply guys. It does seem better on a post like this which only has a couple of reply. I just wondered why it happens on this site and others are OK

it's not only the amounts of posts, but the ads that are everywhere. so far there is no adblocker for the stock browser and adfree is only for rooted devices. lagfree are xda or tapatalk apps.

Ive found a fix... kind of. Switching the theme to classic in user profiles makes the forums much more usable

Browsers defo need a fix. Ive tried miren - fc if you leave the page, dolphin mini not powerfull enough and jumpy, stock is ok but can just close randomly. Im using dolphin hd which is an improvement but even oc and the custom roms dont remedy it completely but definately much much better.
Can only put it down to a bug. My sgs 2 does the same, my gtab done it until the devs sorted it out.
Classic view certainly is better - cheers for that

I agree it could do with a fix. Tonight I tried my cousins Ipad 1 and although it wasn't perfect it handled this forum better than our dual core tegra machines do. What was even more annoying was Google maps in street map mode was smoother at looking around than ours. Come on Google sort it out!

Yeah, changing the style to "XDA Classic" (bottom left) helps a lot.

have you tried Dolphin for Pad or whatever it's called? There seems to be a tablet version of Dolphin Browser but if I remember correctly it was still beta. should be on the market though.

I prefer to browse xda using Tapatalk, but if you must use a browser for everything I suggest using Opera Mobile. The scrolling in Opera is a little choppy at times, but I almost never get blank areas on the pages while scrolling.
Bear in mind that much of these issues are due to the fact that most webpages these days have way more content and ads than mobile devices are designed to handle. Web developers need to learn to exercise some restraint and simplify their pages. I say stop visiting websites that are bogging down or crashing your device.

[Q]Embeded flash video

Im having problems playing embeded flash video. In opera, dolphin hd and maxthon i just get no display at all. In stock browser i get the preview image but after pressing play the flash video just goes black.
I am not rooted, everythig stock and up to date.
Has anyone experienced this and what might be the solution?

same problem here...

Flash 11 is not compatible with all the above. You need to download the previous version of flash and downgrade.

See here post #10.

They didn't intend anything. And no it wasn't a mistake. They just made the upgrade. And it just happens that the upgrade isn't compatible with the said browsers. It's the devs of those browsers to have to update their browsers to be compatible with the new flash.
This is something that has annoyed me for a long time. Small time devs actually test their products out with many platforms to make sure they're compatible. Big companies like adobe just create their updates in a vacuum and then say "screw you if your stuff isn't compatible with our new stuff". Sometimes it seems to me like they don't even test out their updates first before they release them. It's like the bigger the company the less time and resources they spend on testing out their new stuff.

TF700T a Bit Laggy....Apps to Blame?

Hey guys. Just got the Infinity. Physically the device is great. Love it. Noticed after loading a couple of apps (not many) that the tablet seems a bit laggy going from program to program and screen to screen. And even some app crashes. Ran pretty smooth on initial use as they always do. It shouldn't be laggy at all with the specs. Could I have an app that's not written for a tablet causing a problem? Memory issue? Or anyway to check that this thing is running like it should? I would think it would be smooth as glass. Not overly concerned but just a bit. I've only had it for two days so just generating some dialog. I hate to jump to a "return it" attitude as the next one I get may have another issue or do the same thing.
Also it seems most programs aren't written yet to see the "microSD" card and treat the internal "scdard" as an external. Went through this with my Galaxy S3. Here we go again!

no lag on mines. i downloaded a couple of torrents last night and still was able to do other things without hiccups.

You're probably new to this forum?
This is a known I/O issue on this device. Everyone has it, one way or another.
Currently there are speculations that it is due to SW and not HW, so it will be fixed eventually.
Try turning off wi-fi or wait for some time for the tablet to settle down after heavy downloading and installing.
It should get better.
But, as soon as you are downloading something or copying and such ... and when you try to do other things in parallel ... the tablet will get laggy again.

Yes i am new to this device and this section of the forum. Thanks for the info. Glad to know it's probably SW and not hardware as this is frustrating. Is fast then bogs down quick. Maybe a custom ROM to fix this soon.

Mine was pretty laggy too and earlier today I did a cold boot and it's helped quite a bit... Find the other post in this forum about Gmail crashing and there is a link to tell u how to do it.. Hope it helps

Tried the tablet the whole day with new apps, loading archives, extracted 600mb while watching youtube in HD, no problems yet. But I only have a few apps installed yet.
Only thing I saw is when the tablet switches from landscape to portrait, the wallpaper jumps from the left side to the right and gets then finally centered. A bit annoying.

Glad to hear (sorta) that it's happening to others as it denotes a software issue and not hardware. Hard to tell sometimes. I would certainly want to return it if there was a memory or CPU issue but obviously don't want to go through that hassle if I don't have to. Went up to BB today and they didn't have the Infinity but did have a Prime. The Prime was fast and I asked the salesguy (who claimed to know all about the tablets) to see if mine seemed laggy to him. He said it looked great but it also was not connected to wifi. It did seem to run faster without wifi. Starting to lead me to believe that the radio firmware is not perfected and when connected or connected to a poor wifi source it slows.
When I got my Galaxy S3 it was a little laggy even with a custom ROM until I connected in anther state to LTE and the phone was smooth as butter. Wifi performance does seem to affect the entire use of the phone/tablets quite a bit.

Maybe JB will fix some of this. It's supposed to be smooth. That is whenever we get it.

Prime users have been reporting big improvement with JB. Since ASUS likes to use the same NAND across all its tablets, it should help us out as well.

Thanks for the info. This gives me hope. Hey I'll be in SFO this weekend. Can't wait to stroll around downtown amongst the homeless and do some photography.

Mine was laggy as all get out for the first day. Especially while installing apps. Since then it seems to have settled in. Kinda like when you flash a new ROM and it takes a day or two before starting to act right. I was admittedly a bit concerned at first I've I've been on the edge of my seat awaiting for this device, but I'm really happy with it now.

This is good to know. Thanks. I did a hard reset and it helped a bit. Still laggy and the wireless is not stellar but as long as it's not the hardware I'm ok with it as JB is coming and custom ROMS. I do appreciate the feedback. Thanks. :good:

The hardware seems to be rock solid, JB or just some updates will likely iron out a vast majority of it's problems. Keep in mind we're all early adopters, these sorts of things are to be expected. Fayetteville is...well it's Fayetteville.

I've applied the scheduler change, most of the build.prop tweaks and the minfree modifications from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758160
Overall it seems more responsive. The tcp buffer changes in build.prop helped a LOT with wifi performance. went from buffering streamed 720p movies to almost being able to handle a pretty high bitrate 1080p movie.

Nope, no sign, no smoke signal yet.....

Google replaced the Bluetooth stack in 4.2 and effectively destroyed Bluetooth on many devices. Google is now trying to correct the problem and have announced that 4.2.2 will be out shortly, whatever that means, and have a fix.
So I would think that no devices will be getting 4.2 for some time until Google works out its self-caused Bluetooth disaster.

I own a nexus 7 in addition to a TF700. It is running 4.2.1. The new Bluetooth stack brings back lag on streaming audio - particularly Neflix
There are partial fixes like occasionally clearing the cache on the Bluetooth service/software, and frequently restarting Bluetooth - but its a pain and it doesn't work well.

Right, and I am also not convinced that the new two-bar system UI is usable on a 10" device.

I also don't like the idea of the wasted screen space. On my Nexus 7 it's such a shame.

No thank you, I'd rather keep 4.1 with the streamlining updates Asus keeps sending us. For the moment 4.2 seems like a step backwards.

I would actually say that 4.2 is a step backwards.

4.2.2 is out for nexus devices. That means the bugs(Bluetooth and WiFi) in the the original OS got a fix so we could expect the update for asus transformer infinity in a month or so. Waiting desperately for it.

Why are you waiting desperately? What does it bring that you can't have now?

Multi-User support?

The new multi user support creates lags when a second user is added. The fix? Remove second user ... :laugh: Gotta love googles betas!

4.2 is a keeper for me, mainly because of Google's swype-style keyboard. It's excellent.

And I would definitely like the new UI that is on nexus 10. The new multi-tasking is kinda nice. I guess swiping the apps up or down is better that swiping them sideways to close them.

The stock ASUS keyboard also has Swype-like feature, admittedly it is nowhere as good as Google's 4.2 keyboard. Nevertheless, I personally don't like swype on tablets, since it is a lot more tiring on tablets, I have to slide my fingers on a very big screen. To me swype makes a lot more sense on phones.

It has a mode that displays a smaller version that floats so that problem is non-existing.

*google play books very very slow changing the pages
*adobe (not smooth while scrolling)

* web browser (dont know which one ir worst Factory browser or chrome) both crashes and pop out "not responding message"
**if some one is thinking about buying this, Please dont bother, go with Nexus!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had Nex7 and works like charm. i sold it thinking of better productivity of the keyboard tranformers line, but guess what...

4.2.1 is not that bad, it has actually improved things a lot. Have you tried performing a cold boot? Also, the tf700 was the first of its type, first HD screen etc. so it is older than the Nexus 7/10. The Nexus' both got bigger GPU's. But I will say I do not get any lag or performance problem on my tab. But it is unlocked and I do mod it. The ASUS' roms are not that great, but 4.2.1 it an improvement over 4.1.1 by far. And if you dont like the tf700, return it, but have fun typing on a touch screen lol, the little bit of lag is worth the keyboard.
PS,have you looked in other general threads about how to improve the performance? IF not, you need to head there before comparing this tablet to any other because the Transformer line is unlike any other out there.

I don't even have MyBooks. Do you mean MyLibrary? If so, you selected it as default when you first opened the files. (I always select 'just once'.)
Try resetting your app's preferences. (settings-->apps-->all-->MyLibrary-->scroll down to default actions--> Clear default.)

Lol it is not a waste of money. It is just not the latest so it dont come perfect out of the box. Rooting it may help a little but unlocking and installing a custom rom will make it a whole new tablet. IDK why ASUS has to bloat everything. If 4-5 guys who take their own time can make it run like a champ, why cant ASUS do it? Beyond me but for those want the most you must unlock. If you want something that is very easy to use out of the box, pick the Nexus or iPad, but you wont be getting a keyboard or 12 hour battery life with either, or as good of performance out of the Nexus or iPad with a modded TF700.

Cromi is the best out there. It is based off stock 4.1.1 ATM as the new 4.2.1 is in the process of being cromi'd.

The answer to that question completely depends on personal opinion/personal preference. Personally, I am on stock rooted until CROMI-X becomes based off of asus stock. If you want mostly stock cromi/cromix is the way to go. Little to no issues and sbdags is a great dev who somehow eliminates most lag while increasing battery life.

The CROMI one that is based on 4.1.2 has little to no issues (none that i could find). The one that just came out (CROMI-X) is based off of the 4.2 tf300 rom and is therefore not very optimized for the tf700. it works fine (no major issues) but people have been experiencing slight lag. Sbdags says that he plans on updating the rom to the tf700 build in the next week or so which *should* be frickin fast with no major issues like camera or non working bt. Since it is based off of stock, it should not have any more problems than a stock rom has.

Poor performance ever seen in my life! works like chineese android tabs you can buy on ebay... !! very disappointed.

These are my suggestions to improve and maintain performance:
(1) Disable all unnecessary bloatware that comes pre-installed. In general, "unnecessary" is defined as apps you don't use or are poorly designed. This is a critical step.
(2) Chrome is reliable, but still relatively slow on any Android device. Consider alternatives- especially Boat Browser-since it manages memory extremely well. With Boat, set it to cache to SD card. Boat is MUCH faster than Chrome.
(3) Eliminate performance degrading apps such as Facebook (use web version), Goggle Maps (generally not needed on Tablets), Live wallpapers, the relatively useless, performance draining pre-installed AccuWeather widget, etc.
(4) Try to avoid free apps that use in-app advertising. In SOME cases, going to a paid version* will address the issue. However, with location services- actually doing anything on the Internet- not only is your privacy routinely compromised- so is your device's performance.
(5) Avoid resource intensive anti-virus/malware apps. Dr Web Lite and Zoner are less resource intensive than say Lookout. On the flip side- avoid apps that are almost by definition malware such as free MP3 downloaders.
(6) Consider occasionally cold booting and/or clearing browser cache.
(7) Manage file directories, placing work in folders, etc. In other words, organizing your files/folders for ease of access.
(8) Disable in-app location, notification and synching services- unless you feel they are necessary.
None of the above dilutes the user experience and almost all would apply to any Android advice. Also, while one may reply on Google Maps or Voice on the smartphone, is it really necessary on a tablet? In general, one should inventory the apps one uses- and uninstall those apps that are infrequently used- or are more effectively used on a smartphone- or through a web browser. Even apps that are not in use- can run background services- diluting performance with no benefit.

Actually- just disabling the apps will stop them from running. There are a few Asus specific "bloatware" apps that cannot be disabled- but I have not found that these particular apps are a problem.
