So it seems I'm getting more and more of these nowadays. At first I thought it might be Battery HD, which I removed, as I didn't remember installing anything else lately which might be running, but today at the very moment I removed the tablet from the dock, it just rebooted (almost) instantly. Wonder if more of you experience this.
I was getting these on the stock launcher yesterday and I'm getting it today while on Nova.
I would really love this unlocking tool right now..
i got mines on thursday and have not had one reboot.

Strange...mine hasn't rebooted once. Check through your tweaks you did, some of those might be causing an issue

After reading your posts...your OBVIOUSLY doing much more to your unit than the average user. Especially since it just started happening to you after you did all these tweaks.
The glowball thread is irrevelant....just because someone is havingan issue with an APP...now all of a sudden its a disease and your unit caught it.....
Comical..
If you expect the unexpected, is there truly a thing as an unexpected reboot?
Well, certainly wasn't expecting it to constantly reboot on undocking, so I guess the pun doesn't work in this case.

Pun? That was no pun. You weren't expecting the unexpected so you were surprised.
I was expecting not to have them... let's just... EOT. I don't see a point in analysing my expectations further, as this was not the issue in the first place. You may call them "sudden" if this helps you settle things in your mind.

At least now we now how you get to over 776 posts with ease. Just put up this kind of crap all over the place. Not really helpful, ey? What kind of Chinese herbal hallucinogen did you use before logging in? It might help your GP or psychiatrist to pinpoint the issue.

Calm down, no need to get all bootybothered, it was just a joke. And besides, I only post this stuff once in a while. Also, I do try my best to help people most of the time but whatever, bro.
I am not a power user by any means, and I can confirm that the machine rebooted a couple of times while watching 720p videos.
Is there a CPU usage/temperature log somewhere on android? That could help track down the origin of these nasty reboots and file complaints to ASUS.
Early Infinity adopters unite!
You can find numerous apps for CPU monitoring in the playstore, but I haven't found one for monitoring CPU temperature (only battery temperature)

I've had at least 2-3 random reboots in the last 4 days. Once it happened while loading up the Facebook app. Another time it happened while browsing the web with the stock browser. Both times the screen when white and had a thin black line down the side, then after 15s the boot screen appeared with the Asus logo.
So far most everything has been working and I've been happy with the Infinity. But having a number of random reboots in a single week and not being able to get an uptime over 2 days is a fairly major problem for me. Note that it is not rooted or tweaked in any way.

I flashed WW firmware yesterday, so no tweaks now either apart from sio, and I already got a reboot while using RepliGo today (which is my primary use of the tablet anyway).

I've never seen so much butt jokes from one person in so short a time. I used to be the champion, but we found the new one.
I wasn't really angry, by the way, but just posting crap like that without anything to add to the discussion (and multiple threads: "maximum butt pain" -- meh), well, that's hardly to be called constructive participation, is it?
Now let's go help some people, then. Unified effort.

Ohh great......now their "BUTT BUDDIES"
Im now on 5th day with my TF700T.
So far it have been mixed feelings about it.
I love the keyboard, dont think i can have a tab without a keyboard in the future.
There is also no other tablet out there that have what I want.
The thing that worries me a bit is the lag on the device. Sometimes I must wait several seconds before it responds. And this is not the touch screen, becouse when I just wait, it will do what i wanted. This is not fun when you are sufring a simple webpage.
Will Asus fix this lag in the Jelly Bean 4.1 update?
How about people that have rooted (custom rom) their devices, do they have the same issues?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
ummm, i dont think anyone on here can answer that question. JB is a google OS update.
Try resetting
Then check the firmware version.
The only delays I see after tapping are when web browsing.
Everything else is snappy as far as snappy can be under Android.
Are you running in the balanced mode?
First thing I did was root mine and freeze all of the useless crap they preinstall. Havent ever had any lag issues.
I'm in the same boat as the OP. Have had the tablet just less then a week. I very surprised at just how poor the performance is on this. Here are some of the issues I'm having:
-If I leave the web browser app for other apps and then come back to it, my web pages reload. It's like the multitasking fail that is present on the HTC EVO 4G LTE or HTC One series only not as pronounced.
-Some Flash heavy websites are so choppy and laggy. Scrolling is very choppy.
-The Netflix app is almost unusable. Scrolling through my queue seems like it's getting about 5 frames per second. Oddly enough, actually watching movies plays perfectly if I can manage to scroll to select the right movie
-Some games, even ones that are promoted through the Tegra Zone are very laggy.
I really want to love this tab. It's so great for me in so many other ways but I can't live with it if this is what I can expect
I'm rooted, not unlocked, stock ROM. I've been running in performance mode. I've tried with and without Nova Launcer. I've removed or frozen everything I dare to using TB. I've looked through this and other forums for tips on improving performance but so far nothing has helped. Do I have a lemon? Are these problems common? Is this what this tab is? Please help, really want to get this thing running like I'm pretty sure it can.
im going to go ahead and assume that asus had a bad batch of tf700t's go out. i had one with the same problem and i returned it, got a new and havent experienced the same problem again. so fast and snappy that jellybean will just make this tablet crazy.
Because of some problems i have with my pad i have decided to factory reset it a week ago.
Since than the experience is sooo much better. Didn't solve my problem though

Not sure what to tell you...
I don't have any really bad slowness.
Kind of sounds like a bad processor or gpu core or other hardware bug like maybe ram errors.
IMO wouldn't say these are common problems.
*Just curious does your serial# on the bottom of the tablet start with a C6 or is it C7?
No problems here, either. I haven't rooted or done anything to mine except install updates and some apps I like - nothing that alters it really. Super happy with mine. Sorry you're having problems, but maybe you should exchange it, as previously suggested.

C6. From Amazon maybe 4 days ago. Is that older or more known to have issues. I'm still well within my return period from Amazon. If C7 is known to be better it would be worth it to me to return it and buy it from a store where I can look at the serial number on the box first. Thanks for the replies... Didn't mean to hijack the thread but it seems the op and I are having the same issue.

The tablet serial number can be found on the box the tablet came in and on the bottom of the tablet itself on a sticker (on the part of the tablet that would go into the dock if you use one).
The only difference between a C6 serial number and a C7 serial number is that one was manufactured in June and one in July (the number after the C is the month it was manufactured in)....

For my limited use, the lag and freezing was driving me nuts. Of course, I've been down this road before with the Prime. Eventually the Prime community found the tweaks and mods to make it fly, and I admit it was part of the fun to experiment and find ways to squeeze more performance and stability from the tablet.
My problems with the Infinity seem to exacerbate when RAM goes below 200k. I can see this from the Cool Tool widget. When I get below this level, the browser is generally unusable. I use a tool called startup cleaner to minimize what launches and tried to keep widgets to a minimum but my RAM seemed to always run low. Based on this same experience with the Prime, I changed the setting in developer options to limit background processes to 2. This does a good job keeping RAM above 400K, and when I do this it runs very well. No lag or ANRs, and everything seems very fluid.
This was an early temp fix with the Prime until other mods caught up, so I don't expect this to be required long term. However, the results are really are dramatic so far and enough to keep me from going the Note 10.1 route.

That's a good tweak, and one I hadn't tried before, so thanks!
If you're unlocked, I would advise you to run...don't walk, and flash TWRP recovery and then the Zeus rom v 4.0. This is a totally different machine on that rom.
There is also the trick of turning off animations in Developer Options or set the scale to .5. That helps with smoothness, too.
My advice is not to exchange over simple lagginess if all other hardware issue are ok. There is so much more that can and will be done on the software side, but if you exchange, what if you get a tab with a major hw problem?
I could not find this discussed for the TF700T.
Video and audio sync perfectly with the YouTube and Netflix apps. However, I'm an Amazon Prime member and watch alot of Prime Instant videos. Since there is no android app for that I'm limited to watching through a browser. I've tried Boat, the Stock browser, and ICS+. All present a significant lag of video vs. audio. Oddly, I did not have this problem with the Prime I returned for the Infinity.
Anyone else experiencing this? If you were you able to correct it, how?
Thanks
Nobody Has This Issue?
Over two hundred views and no one replies? Really?
You could try browser2ram.
Rooting and installing it has helped me with just about all my browser problems.
Thanks, but I am rooted and browser2ram hasn't helped.
Maybe the issue is on the Amazon server side.
People here don't reply if they don't have anything useful to say.
Wait a few days and see how Jelly Bean handles it?
Other than that, do you have Performance Mode enabled when watching them? Killed all pointless tasks? (Not just in taskmanager.)
After I rooted the device I froze/disabled all the bloatware. I've tried all three performance modes with no change in the video lag.
Does anyone successfully stream Amazon Instant Videos through a browser on their Infinity?
I just checked and i don't have noticeable sync problems. I'm running on 12 meg dsl. My understanding is you need at least 4. Meg to stream good quality. Apps like netflix go through special servers, that help with stream, browser probably doesn't. You cannot really compare. it amazes how low a bandwidth netflix can uses and still look reasonably good.

I just swapped my prime for and infinity last night at Best Buy and Im having the same problem. Amazon prime streaming doesnt sync correctly and Im ticked. What is up with asus? My prime worked perfect even with crappy wifi reception. Can this be fixed. Can someone else check Amazon streaming you can try it for free. I need to know if this is just a few bad tf700 and I need to swap or try something else.

Just tried it myself and also have the audio lag in the default stock browser using browser2ram. Tried using Dolphin beta, which is usually pretty awesome and pretty damned close to the stock browser using browser2ram in terms of speed and it got hung up going into full screen mode. Flash is so god damned terrible on these devices, flash in general runs like champ on my S III. Very frustrating
Replace It, or Live With It?
Thank you all for the feedback.
Apparently this is not a ubiquitous Infinity issue. Therefore I must conclude something is F**'d on mine. Not knowing whether it is H/W or S/W related I think I'll wait until JB is released and replace the tablet if JB does not fix it. I still have a couple of weeks left on my 30 day return policy.
Again, thank you for the help.
UPDATE: Fixed?
Update: I may have found a fix for this. I was browsing the forum and under the GMAIL Crashes post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877292&page=2 I found a reference to FMR Memory Cleaner and the nvidia kernel driver bug. I installed FMR Memory cleaner and brought up the ICS+ browser. Lo and behold the video and audio are in sync with my Amazon Instant Videos!
It would be helpful if some of you who are experiencing the lag issue will test using FMR Memory Cleaner and post your results.
Thank zenaxe for the tip (I've used up my 8 per day "Thanks").
I've tried FMR memory cleaner and it did nothing to alleviate the audio lag on Amazon videos, I haven't read the thread on the nvidia driver bug but when mine is crashing in a game like Dead Trigger, the ONLY thing that works for me is a complete reboot which is annoying. FMR hasn't really ever helped me with most things except if the tab is being laggy and even then it's not 100% guaranteed to work for me
I've had the sync problem intermittently with flash video from several sources, including Amazon. I think mobile flash is the true culprit, and wouldn't be surprised if the problem recurs for you. Every now and then I try and different browser and think it works better, but eventually, it gets out of sync again.
On the Amazon front, I think the only real solution is the Instant Video App. To my knowledge, no one has either the old gingerbread app or the new ICS app ripped from the fire roms working on other ICS+ devices. Hopefully Amazon gets around to supporting Android in general.

I also had this problem on the Xoom and over on the Motorola forum the culprit pointed to there was Adobe Flash on ICS and Jelly Bean (worked great on HC) on certain processors.
As to Amazon porting their app to Android, I wouldn't hold my breath as my guess is that they don't want to draw business away from the Fire line (I have a Fire and Prime looks great on it). Amazon's Kindle app for Android (even on the Fire) lacks functionality that the original Kindle devices support, e.g., collections. It appears that either their Android development capabilities are limited or they are making a conscious decision not to fully embrace it.
Dave
ps There is a similar thread over on the Themes & Apps Forum -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803002 On that thread I posted some info on the flash problem that I gleaned from the Motorola Xoom forum.
IMO, it's just a matter of time before the port hits. Fires are meant to sell content, content isn't meant to sell Fires, which aren't exactly high margin if the hardware is profitable at all.
If they were really trying to avoid drawing business away from the fire, they wouldn't have released an iPad app. Hit up their support page and complain, and I think we'll see progress eventually.
I had the amazon apk working on one of the roms on my nook tablet. Changed rom and lost program compatibility. I don't why Amazon does not have app for other androids but they are certainly making the decision not to. I'm hoping when large Fire HD comes out it will work on other devices. Its nice what Fire does for many. Pretty much everything's done in background, my wife doesn't have to do anything, streaming prime is easy.

I've been seeing a lot of complaints about sluggishness and lag on the Infinity. Am I the only one who satisfied with this tablet? I get a tiny bit of lag here and there, but not to the extent in which others have complained. My device is definitely not perfect but I love it. Sure, it has a little light bleed. Yes, the screen makes an almost inaudible clicking noise when touched in certain areas.
As far as software goes, I'm really not having any major issues. Everything runs smoothly, even with multiple background processes. I suppose the only issue I have with the software is how wallpapers are cropped. I disabled a lot of the bloatware and don't have my applications to upon boot. I don't really see the need for apps to run on startup.
I did end up having to fashion my own protective strip for the dock, though. I ruined the velvet strip on the front of the inside of where the tablet connects into the dock because I used a screen protector at first. It ended up pushing the strip and its glue downward.

I figure why say anything if I don't have much to complain about.
* said this eons ago (which is days in forum time) "!f I keep looking and stop using this tablet !'ll always be mad at it"
I was thinking the other day, I might have to divorce myself from the general section of this forum. There is so much negativity around here, it almost makes me second guess myself. The minority of people with issues are very vocal and it's quite a downer. If somebody is unhappy with their purchase, they should just get something else.
I, too, have a lightning fast device. It was fast before I rooted it, and after I rooted and froze bloatware I'd say it might be faster than the ipad, though I've never played with one. Sure there is a bit of lag sometimes, but I attribute that to apps still not being developed for fhd screens, and will only get faster with time.

I'm a little disappointed that Amazon's app isn't compatible. Other than Amazon, I don't really see many app conflicts. When I first got my Infinity, Draw Something and Words with Friends didn't work but that changed rather quickly. Draw Something is awesome on the Infinity.
File transfers seem to be decent on the Infinity too. Whether its tranfering PC to Infinity, Infinity to PC or just moving files around on the device itself, I have never had issues.

Build quality and the OS are two different things. ASUS is not Android. I do agree that they need to step up QC but its hardly worth losing sleep over. You'll end up spending more time worrying about how it looks, rather than just taking a deep breath and enjoying it.
Also, there build quality of the dock is excellent. The protective strip came off on my own error.

Agreed, I had a prime when it ran Honeycomb; when the ICS update came out there were endless complaint threads.
Look at it this way: Users who are happy with their device don't post many "positive" threads so all we see are the negative threads of a minority of users looking for support. (Ya I've got small quirks with this device occasionally, but I still absolutely love this thing
As for incompatible apps Titanium Backup works great for exporting said apps from my phone to tablet (of course, root is needed)

I have amazon on my Infinity and it works just fine. I had a back up from titanium backup.
My Infinity is running smooth with no issues.
Look I've said this countless times before. You will see more negative posts then you will ever see positive ones. There is still a majority of people that are quite happy with the Infinity with JB. The negative posts you will see here are from a small group/minority. Don't get swayed or make you feel like your perfectly good device is inadequate. This device is a beast.

I was thinking the other day, I might have to divorce myself from the general section of this forum. There is so much negativity around here, it almost makes me second guess myself. The minority of people with issues are very vocal and it's quite a downer. If somebody is unhappy with their purchase, they should just get something else.
I, too, have a lightning fast device. It was fast before I rooted it, and after I rooted and froze bloatware I'd say it might be faster than the ipad, though I've never played with one. Sure there is a bit of lag sometimes, but I attribute that to apps still not being developed for fhd screens, and will only get faster with time.
Positive owners unite!

Amen.
I understand that there are some issues with the Infinity just like every other piece of technology.
I'd like to see posters actually search the forum before posting the same negative garbage over and over again in thread after thread.
Thanks. I feel better now.

I suppose I will just transfer the .apk from my phone to Infinity. Play Store won't let me download it.

You can download it from amazon homepage with your tab!
What else do you guys love about the Infinity? Also, post you AnTuTu benchmark scores! Mine is 12614.

For the past three weeks or so I was torn between the M9 and the S6 (G4 is too big for my tastes), but in the end I upgraded to the S6 on T-Mobile this past Saturday from my trusty M8, thinking that the reported RAM and lag issues were minor.
After installing everything I previously had on my M8, I've already started to experience the horrible performance issues others have experienced.
Reading these forums, it seems like many people don't believe the lag issue exists (because theirs doesn't lag), but I'm sure it's dependent on your own smartphone usage. I usually have BT on, connected to BT earphones, my Fitbit Flex, and occasionally a Moto 360. Google Play Music is almost always playing music.
A common use case for myself is this: when I go for a run, I put on my BT earphones, play my favourite playlist, and track my run in my Fitbit app. My M8 handled this scenario well, albeit with some minor stuttering, but overall it was highly usable.
Fast forward to my brand new S6. The same scenario CRIPPLES it.
Here's a video demonstration of what happens.
This is only one common use case among several, in which I've experienced terrible lag or force closures. How Samsung can get away with this is infuriating. It's also mind boggling how not a single media outlet experienced/reported this issue in their reviews.
At this point, I'm deeply considering exchanging this with the M9. Luckily, I'm still within my return window with T-Mobile. I'm incredibly disappointed, since otherwise this would have been a fantastic device.
By the way, I'm running stock T-Mobile, which is on 5.1.1.
Try clearing cache with cache cleaner app. Or flash 5.1.1 via odin.
Try installing the newest android system webview.
It's newer than the play store, once I installed, all my lag problems disappeared.

And then you are complaining there is lag?
Perhaps you could remove all of the stuff you loaded, then start from the beginning testing as you go to see what it is you loaded that caused the lag.
Just because you used it on the M8, doesn't mean it will function the same on the S6.
Making a bunch of changes and then discovering you are having issues makes it pretty hard to figure out what caused the issues.
Wow! If you had not posted the video, I wouldn't have believed it. Crazy lag.
Can anyone else replicate this lag dng the same as on video?I wonder if it's just your phone that's behaving this way....
Never had lag like this even when streaming music through Bluetooth and playing GBA emulators at the same time. And I'm still on 5.0.2. I suggest a factory reset. And then as you install apps, one at a time, see if certain ones are bogging down the device.

i feel like google apps are making the device slower....the chrome, google play music......coincidence??

Funny, that is exactly what I expect. In fact, I expected it to perform even better because of the spec bump.
I don't actually have that many apps, and the apps that I do have are not many. I will try a factory reset later, but having to test this out one app at a time is incredibly time consuming and should not be necessary. I've never had such a problem with any of my previous devices. My Note 3 is actually running really well still.

He has MANY apps running and not clearing them will lag up the phone, ignore the troll guys.

That's actually offensive. I didn't spend over $800 on this phone so I can complain about it being laggy. I spent this amount because it was supposed to be the most powerful, and hence should not have this problem.
Constantly ending apps every time you want to use your phone for something is ridiculous. The phone should be able to manage this properly, like many other phones can. I can deal with slight lag or stuttering, but to be rendered completely unresponsive is unacceptable.
By the way, I just removed all apps and reran the same scenario, with the same result.

Honestly I never experienced this lag and im sure neither have 60% of the members here. Take it back to where you bought it and ask for a new one... you might of got a defective batch.
God damn this is hilarious... It has absolutely nothing to do with the phone but how many freaking apps you have open and running in the background, your battery life probably sucks balls too. Try Greenify from the play store and go look at the DHA Tweaks in the original development forum.
edit: if that doesn't work, your phones defective.
Obviously there's something wrong with your phone. No one's using their phone with this kind of lag, and just shrugs it off.
Get it replaced... Why make a thread just crying about it.
@djbutter okay I tested for myself using the fitbit app to track my run and streaming music from Google play music and there IS LAG. The fitbit app seems to use an ungodly amount of RAM on this phone when the fitbit tracking is going on and it will slow the phone to a crawl with the more apps you use/open. I've experienced no lag otherwise.
Sorry if my previous post came off as harsh. IMO this needs to be fixed by fitbit as the app uses too many resources on the S6.

This is actually great news, because it implies that it's app-specific, and I don't have a defective unit which others have suggested (not-so-politely). Thanks for testing it out.
I also feel like Google Play Music, Hangouts, and/or Bluetooth are messing with my phone's performance.
It's not that my phone is consistently lagging, it just seems to take a huge performance hit when I'm suddenly doing multiple things at once.

Google play music hasn't been so bad for me, but I've disabled a lot of other Google apps because they can be resource hungry. Chrome is particularly bad.

There are several threads about this already. Samsung really dropped the ball making the jump to arm64. Apps that shouldn't use much memory are, and Google apps are the biggest issue. I have had issues with Swiftkey since I got the S6, so much so that I've stopped using it. I get the impression you're not into rooting really, forgive me if I'm wrong, but there are bandaid solutions for some of these issues floating around. I've personally been messing with the memory management on this phone for months and while we haven't found a real fix, depending on your useage some of the things can help. Recently I realized the reason the phone comes to a screeching halt like you're showing is because the swap is full. Once the swap gets full it hammers performance. I've been making swap bigger which really seems to help in conjunction with other various tweaks. Like I said, no fix but definitely helps.
