Everything on my 300 works excellent except web browsing. Does anyone else have this issue? It's getting to the point to where I want to sell it!
Web pages seem to load slower than on my phone. Has anyone else noticed this?
Is it a problem with the Nvidia chipset? Or is it something Asus can fix with a software update?
I am hoping I don't have a lemon.
I have been having this same issue, actually. I was just talking to the co-worker who sold me this tablet over the Prime and was expressing my concern with the really slow web browsing. Disclaimer, though, that I'm using Google Chrome to browse, not the stock browser. I was encouraged to try Opera and other browsers before condemning this device to slow browsing, so perhaps that would help us both?
I'm also in the process of rooting mine so -hopefully- the custom ROM's I install will have some performance tweaks.
Browsing seemed slow in both stock and Firefox. Tried Chrome and it seamed slow too.
On Boat browser now and it is really snappy. About as fast as my desktop. I really like the ability to import bookmarks from HTML files. Have Firefox synced to my desktop but like Boat better.
software tune up
I'm pretty sure that they just don't use the whole 100% tegra3 can give yet.
From my experience the custom + open source based ROMs usually perform better than stock.
this is probably due to slow IO performance ( internal storage)
look at the prime forums , prime has the same problem.
cfq io scheduler makes it better (kernel mod), browser2ram fixes this because it does not cache on disk but in ram..
asus is looking into this but most people believe that asus uses cheap/slow memory chips/controllers....

I was reading about that. From what I have heard it works really well. I also heard through some rumors that ASUS will be addressing this in their next update. Although it is just rumors and who knows how long until the next update.
What I find to be a problem is the freezing and hiccups which occur on large webpages. Frequently I'll see the 'This program has stopped responding' message, forcing me to click on the wait button. I really hope a firmware fix will address this - it appears on all browsers for me. My Galaxy Note is far faster than my TF300 at loading sites. It's very frustrating.

Yep the IO performance sucks, hopefully we will get custom kernels soon, or asus will fix this who knows.
Yep just rooted and downloaded the apk. It's almost necessary. Chrome runs so much better right off the bat. I will say though that you do lose all your previous browser settings but it's 100% worth it.

Yea i hope asus finds a way fix this , some improvements can be made with a different io scheduler such as cfq however this will not improve raw speed, which is still terrible.
The sqlite benchmark shows us extreme bad performance especially on the 1000 inserts, 70 seconds where other devices are done in less than 1 second. I find it hard to believe that this is caused by memory chips itself , we are talking about hundred times worse?"

Guys. Thanks for the help. I have only tried Boat browser so far and I have noticed it is a bit faster than all the other browsers I've tried so far. Not perfect by any means, but better.
I will try those other methods later this week.
What are the odds Asus fixes this issue?
How come there aren't more complaints about this in the TF300 forum? Or does this not affect every tablet?

Has anyonec changed the performance settings to Performance Mode and noticed a difference? Seemed like I did.
On some web pages I can swipe the page, and then count to two before it actually moves. Then swipe again nothing. Then a couple of seconds later the page moves!
Like the web page is stuck in jello. Really Frustrating.
I kind of hope that the Transformer Infinity uses something other than Tegra 3 as has been suggested. Not sure I want to take a chance on another Tegra 3 device just yet.

The best thing to do is browser2ram, period.

second best to do is to use the cfq scheduler which is included in certain custom kernels.
and further lets wait for asus, my guess is that they will use cfq scheduler in the near future ...

I've read several posts where people were having various speed/lag issues. There is a dedicated thread about the TF300 being almost unusable when a market update is being downloaded. I have the same problem on mine. Also have the occasional stall on a webpage, but it doesn't happen often. I have seen no other thread dedicated to the internal memory so I guess this will be the first!
So my questions are:
1) Is this due to a file system issue? (On the SGS, we used VooDoo Lagfix to change the FS to EXT4 which greatly increased the speed)
2) One person suggested that the TF300 uses single-channel memory (I don't know what is meant by this as I know the TF300 has DDR3 whereas the Prime uses DDR2)
3) How is the internal memory mounted? I haven't seen anyone tear one of these open yet. I remember a smartphone that was taken apart to find that the "internal" storage memory was nothing more than a micro-sd card! It could be replaced with a faster class memory to improve performance.
I think it's the I/0 scheduler.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Well, I identified the file system - EXT4. So that's not the problem.
What's the I/O scheduler entail? Is that something that's controlled by the OS? Perhaps a custom ROM or an update from ASUS can fix it?
Subbed.
The stock browser is painfully laggy.

The I/O scheduler is part of the kernel. It can be fixed by an update from Asus, but I wouldn't expect them to change it any time soon. Apparently, if you go to the Prime dev forums, there is a module to add support for the Simple I/O scheduler, which is supposed to run well on the Transformer tablets. Not sure if it would work on the stock kernel, but you could try.
Trying the SI0 schedualer from the AOKP rom and the speed issues pretty much went away.

Looks like success with the IO scheduler is erratic. I'll watch that thread for a few more days before I take the plunge.

Just sent my tablet back for warranty because of this, didn't see many complaints on it so I figured I had a lemon (in addition to insane backlight bleeding)
Somewhat worried now that I've seen this thread. Subscribed, hopefully some information will pop up. I'll post results when I get my tablet back.
I'm wondering if anyone can weigh in on how their device performs out of the box. I got mine on Saturday and unlocked it and am thinking of installing some of CM9's work because I've always like what he's done on the Droids, but I'm noticing that this tablet, for lack of a better way to say, is awful.
It freezes all the time. When you get into a the browser, whether it's stock or chrome, the pages are unresponsive to zoom in and out. I mean ultimately your action will be performed, but I've seen it take 5 seconds. It's actually unbearable. My D4 NEVER has this problem EVER and the tablet should blow the D4 away.
How does everyone else's tf300 work? And will custom ROM's improve this awful experience? I don't want to have to take it back and I won't if there is potential somewhere that I'm not realizing. I have 10 days left to decide and right now, it's a no-go. So if anyone can share their experience I'd love to hear it.
I bought my tf300 yesterday, and couldn't be happier. I unlocked it and installed aokp this morning and things have been great. Haven't noticed any lag viewing webpages, youtube, music etc. I've been very happy with this tabIet, as it's my first one. I believe aokp allows you to overclock to 1.5ghz (obviously it drains batteries a little bit more) but even on the stock asus rom, i encountered no lag whatsoever.
as shocking as it might be to know..i have not yet rooted the tf300t. i've been using it for over a month now..i got it the week that it came out..and i've happy with it. every once in a while you will see a "freeze" for now reason. It does seem to freeze more on startup because it is trying to do several things at once (like update gmail, corporate account, and sync up other things). But after that it is really smooth.
I was talking to another friend about this and he managed to hunt down someone else having similar issues to me and Asus declared their product to be defective, issue a new one, which works "flawlessly". I guess it's back to Office Depot I go. I refuse to let Apple win.
Hopefully you get a working one, I'm enjoying mine quite a bit. The aokp rom is quick and fun to use, and I refuse to ever own apple products. Go android!
I bought mine about 2 weeks ago , and it freezes one or 2 times , but in general works great , didn't unlocked and changed to custom roms yet but will in future , but for now i am loving it

Have it now for 6+ weeks. Stock/rooted. Works like a champ. Good tablet apps are the issue, not the tab. No way you should have the issues you do.
Still Charged Up
Nice performance
Got mine 3 weeks before. unlocked it and rooted from the second day, i am really happy from the latest update the us.30 for me. i dont experience any lag or freezes or force closes at all. The performance is better but it always depends on the owner.
I found useful to install an app called autostarts (needs root) that prevents apps from being loaded at any time u use your device.
For example i cant understand why google play store must open when i remove an application. With this program i prevent things from loading at startup of the device, so i have a quicker startup time and i know that no other apps are in use when i dont need them and only working is the app that i use.
U can see what apps are runnig at any time with a task manager or something relevant.
So as i say before the performance of a device depends also on the owner.
I bought 2 tf300's, one for me and one for my girlfriend. Mine has Cyanogenmod 9 on it, hers has stock (.30 firmware).
I will say that mine is noticeably faster, Chrome doesn't lag hardly ever, hers freezes up a lot more.
You should be careful about some apps too, Facebook in my opinion is the worst. That app will cause your phone/tablet to lag like nothing else, as soon as I uninstalled Facebook on my girlfriends tablet it was like a brand new machine (though still not quite as fast as CM 9)

I was having this issue also and was getting pretty fed up with it.
However, after doing a reset on the device it works perfectly now. Resetting the device formats the primary partition and takes it back to stock (keeping firmware updates). You can get to this option by turning the device off and holding the volume down button when powering on and it should be the second option. This stopped the force closes and lags with my TF300T
I know that asus has loaded some bloatware on the tablet which cause it to lag occasionaly so i used seanz rom. It's so fast it's scary it really takes advantage of the power of this tablet.

The lag is mostly happening due to the I/O scheduler in the kernel. We probably won't see the true performance on this tablet until we get a custom kernel. The source is on ASUS's website but no kernel hackers have this device. The lag only shows when mounting and un mounting SD cards, writing to SD cards/NAND and downloading/updating Play store apps.
The only fix I know so far is to go find a SIO scheduler from the Transformer Prime's forum and install it. I did that and the lag went away but looking at benchmarks for I/O schedulers (noop vs SIO), noop has lag but higher scores and SIO has very little or no lag with lower scores.

I've owned my tab since it first came out, and one thing has been bothering me since day one. Does anyone know why the browser performance is so poor on my tablet (I don't think this affects everyone with a TF300T).
In stock form, the browser would hang on many web pages, especially those with ads. I tried many different browsers with no luck. I finally broke down and unlocked and put CM9 on it, and the performance was much better, but not great. Now running JB and I no longer get the hangs, but the browser performance overall is still poor.
I've sort of learned to live with it, and thought it was simply due to CPU or I/O performance on a device not designed for sustained performance, but for comparison, sites on my HTC Vivid (Android 4.0.3) in stock browser or Chrome are about on par with a Windows desktop. I've seen chatter online regarding a forthcoming Asus upgrade to address I/O (something to do with MySQL or SQLLite performance, can't recall the details). Anyone have experience with this or any input for me?

I've encountered two issues with this as a solution:
1. Adfree isn't very manageable. If I do want ads on a page (somes sites refuse to play video unless you watch the ads first). Adfree doesn't provide a UI to easily bypass the block, and editing the HOSTS file is problematic as it is too big to open in most tablet text editor.
- <aside>Could my inability to open and edit the HOSTS file be somewhat related? The tablet has enough RAM to open a >100MB file, yet I can't get it to open without locking up the text editor </aside>
2. My phone doesn't have adfree and the sites behave normally. No delays.

You're right, it was better for me as well, but not enough to stick with it. This is especially true now that I'm running the stock browser in JB and having none of the browser hangs I used to experience on the stock ICS. In reality, I would much prefer using the stock browser as it does most of what I need, including play flash video.

I have the tf700 and the lagginess caused by I/O is driving me nuts. The latest update hlped at first but now i am not sure, becuase the lagginess especially with browsers are still there. That may be due to the Tegra 3 on a 1080p screen vs. 720p screen?
Does the TF300 have the same I/O issues?
Yes, if you are rooted you can try Browser2Ram to fix the browsing bug. My tf300 is smooth, but I also use a custom rom.
I had the Acer A700 and it was laggy as hell, so I am going to guess the 1080p screen may be too much for the Tegra3.
I rooted my device and used the minor tweaks & speed adjustments that are in the development section. Also installed browser2ram. Still not flawless but much better.
There's a link somewhere in this forum that asus has recognized the issue and is working on a fix. I don't know if thats completely true or not but is still nice to hear. With the tf700 you will eventually have some good kernels i'm sure which will allow you to mount /cache /system to your sd card which will greatly improve your I/O especially if you have a class 10 sd card since they have quicker read/write speeds than the internal memory!

AFAIK as I know the I/O issue is due to stock kernel not stock rom. As of now there aren't any custom kernels out there for the TF300, so the improvement in performance you see is due to tweaks done by the rom dev and JB being faster as is. I don't have lags either and I'm on rooted stock rom with a couple of tweaks.
Run a benchmark and look at your writing and reading speed of the internal sdcard and SQlite scores. You will see that they all score very low compared to other devices. You will notice lag when for example extracting a large zip archive (1gb) from and to the internal sdcard.
Recent htc one x 4.0.4 OTA dramatically improved performance, noticed almost 1000 points more in quadrant mostly in the I/O area....so yes it' s software and yes can be fixed via updated

Chrome has gotten progressively worse in my experience, despite tons of small updates with "performance improvements". Recently it was all but unusable. I installed the latest firmware update and it seems to be better, so perhaps the problem is the stock ROM rather than the app.
I agree that stock browser is quite good. I particularly like the gesture mode (swipe from side and you get a speed dial for the different functions). However, I disagree that its page loading times are up to snuff. The browser's much slower than Chrome (after Chrome recovers from being unresponsive for a while when entering URLs). I think some of the issue may even be only apparent, since Chrome starts rendering pages immediately while stock browser waits until the loading bar is some 3/4 of the way, but still the (subjective) impression I get is that Chrome renders much faster.
If you google android browser tests there are quite a few fairly comprehensive ones.
Most of those note that Chrome for some reason just doesn't run well.
Quite ironic considering it's my desktop browser of choice due to it's speed

Obviously it's your choice but IMO just how frustrated i got with stock and Chrome browsers on the stock ASUS firmware was rendering the tablet unusable. It was so frustrating, especially in lectures where a friend on his iPad could look through about 5 tabs before mine had loaded a page and let me type an URL.
Since CROMI-X the stock browser runs incredibly well. (AS IN IT ACTUALLY WORKS LIKE ON MOST OTHER TABLETS) :laugh:

Yeah, I know about your frustration.
I just got to the forum (to actually post something), even though I have a galaxy S2 with ressurection remix for quite a long time, just now I'm having time to look for ROM's for the TF700.
I already got notes and will research about CROMI-X and will look for some more ROM's, do you know any other? I know that changing the kernel can directly affect the performance and battery on the ROM, I guess will have to research a lot.
B2R is best - I was using dolphin - not anymore!
Let's face it chrome sucks, even with b2r. I don't know what Google are doing. The stock browser combined with b2r is unbeatable IMO.

FYI - Not yet released, but I will add Firefox beta and Dolphin beta to the next final release of the MB2R script. There is some cleanup I need to do as well.

It's no where near as snappy as surfing with Chrome on my Nexus 7.
I'm running Cromi-X with:
fsync disabled
that Chrome speed up mod option when you first install Cromi-X
I see posts on here where people's TF700's run smooth. What other things are you doing to your tablet?

You may need to fine tune your network speed and buffersize for a better loading and downloading. For example, hsxpa, dns, wifi read and write buffer, ipv4.tcp_mem, ipv4.udp_rmem, ipv4_udp_rmem, core.wmem_max and rmem_max=2M, tcp_congestion_control=cubic, and change your minfree a little more aggressive especially the last two numbers.

Is b2r enabled by default? If not, how do we do that?
Yes it is enabled in CROMi-X by default.
