I just found this in my sdcard/ download folder (. When installed it said something about higher power consumption, and didnt do anything other than have a notification. No idea what or where this came from The app itself is called Asus Demo.. AD_TF300T_Experience_noText_V2.7.apk Any ideas?
My guess is that it is a retail store demo mode.

That makes sense. But when I start the app it doesnt do anything, so I dont know. I do know that it wasnt on the blue ones I had.
After the. 30 update, it popped up.

Its a demo app showing a video of the TF300 and how the whole thing works.
When you switch it on the app works by pressing the power button. So instead of the screen switching off it starts the video instead. Its great if you want to drain your battery
This may be somewhat common knowledge, but I thought I'd share since I don't see any threads about Hulu in here.
It seems Hulu has decided having root is evil and therefor they will not allow you to stream to a device which is rooted. I don't get why these companies do this. I tried temp unroot with rootkeeper but it still didn't want to work, though it could be the flag gets set for the device on your account and doesn't flip back without some further intervention on Hulu's end.
Thank you for your email, and I'm sorry for the trouble with Hulu Plus on your Asus Transformer Infinity. I'm afraid the error message you're receiving indicates that our system flagged your Infinity as a "rooted" device. Basically, "rooted" means that the software on the device has been altered in some way. Some users may do this to enable particular apps on their devices or to customize the Android OS, but unfortunately, we cannot support these modified-OS devices. I realize this is frustrating and I apologize.
If you don't believe your device is rooted, just let me know and we can investigate other causes of this error message. To aid my troubleshooting, is there anything installed on the device or any unusual settings that might be triggering this "rooted" flag? There are some apps that are known to cause this trouble (Hide It Pro is one of these apps).
Again, my apologies for all the trouble here. I hope we can reach a solution. Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with, or if you have further questions.

Hmmm I'm rooted and hulu works fine for me, but I did restore my hulu app from my prime backup.

If you are unlocked hulu will not work because Asus deletes the drm keys off the tablet upon unlocking. Meaning hulu and some other programs won't work that rely on that.
If you are not unlocked, make sure if you have ad away installed that you disable it before opening the app it will not work until you do this. Hulu works just fine for me rooted.

ahhh so it's the unlocking they are balking at, not necessarily just being rooted.
thanks for the info, that clears up the why of it. damn i hate drm.
Is this something that could eventually be worked around? I use hulu plus a lot and I'm getting this tablet soon. I wonder of its even worth unlocking for me

I suggest forgoing the Hulu Plus app and modifying your flash so you can watch Hulu Plus straight from the stock browser or Dolphin. The attached script requires root and busybox, but will modify your libflashplayer.so so that it's unblocked by Hulu.com. This also circumvents the HDMI-out limitation found in the current app.

Hmm. I may have to try that when I get my tf700 next Wednesday. Thanks.

Currently I think unlocking the TF700 is not ready due to the fact that we don't gain that much by doing so (more headache by doing so). I would wait after the release of Jelly Been.
Is updating with the ota safe then? I hear it fixes some issues

Yes, the .26 OTA is safe and worth applying

Safe? To my knowledge it was never unsafe. .26 definitely does perform better than previous versions, though it's less than what I'd expect from a $500+ tablet.

I meant, can you still unlock bootloader and root after doing the update. I know with my EVO LTE, if I take the ota, I lose root.

I was reading that there is a modded version of Hulu Plus that works on an unlocked prime. I guess the Landscape version at the link below works quite well.. Can anyone test this on the infinity? I have yet to unlock. I would rather not lose the hulu app.

I have it on my unlocked infinity, It works fine in terms of showing tv shows and movies, but the interface is a little annoying and old school. Mostly you just have to get used to the search feature. It is not as easy to navigate as the new app, but if you know what you are looking for it's pretty good.

Who uses hulu anyways? Not being able to watch their free content with their app on a droid device is a dealbreaker for me. I reactivate subscription services only when I have time off from school.

You are not on Power Saving mode, are you?
Power Saving mode saves battery but makes whole process stutter especially opening application you can see frames stutter and wish you had Buttery smooth Jelly bean there. But on balanced mode, I don't notice any and not sure if Jelly bean would do anything there... as it is already so smooth.
But as far as browser, if you have many applications running behind that may cause keyboard input delay. If not, recommend Cold reboot.

No matter what might go wrong in life the absolute very first thing I wish for is buttery smooth jelly bean. Just last week I was complaining about the price of gas and it made me wish for buttery smooth jelly bean.

I have the same problem as you as well as others. I'm on the updated firmware and am incredibly disappointed. I've been supporting Android since it was first released and absolutely love my Nexus phone. I've had a few Android tabs and they have all been lacking. I finally did something I swore that I would never do and used an iPad. I really didn't like it except that it operated so smooth and didn't crash. I ran out and bought this tab as I hoped it would work better so I could ditch the iPad. Unfortunately, my infinity lags when loading pages and Gmail, crashes when watching movies and Gmail, and refuses to open desktop version of websites. I am going to wipe and reload one more time and if it doesn't work, I will have to send it back. I really really want this tab to work.

You want to update to .26, tablet is so much better after update
Huh, after updating I thought this was the only non_lag android tablet I've used besides the Nexus 7 which is even faster. I've also not had force closes and the Primes browsing was ruined by that. Of course it has other issues because that's how Asus rolls.

no. mine came with .21 and i wasn't getting .26 OTA. you download it from the ASUS site, unzip it and put the resultant zip on the root of an sdcard. slot the sdcard in and you'll get an item in notification that there's an update available. bam.
search the forum for detailed instructions.
THAT SAID - although .26 is MUCH better than .21 IME, i still have performance issues with the 700. not so much that it's sluggish - but that the digitizer just stops accepting input periodically. it's definitely a software problem and it's definitely frustrating. haven't sussed out any culprits yet.
doody.

Apparently, dolphin is a bigger botnet than chrome. And that's saying something.

By botnet do you mean the tracking? I mean, we are on Android, it exists for Google to increase their ad information capabilities. It is what it is.
I don't use their sync service, and I don't like their regular browser at all but the new Dolphin beta is pretty amazing. It might be the fastest mobile browser I've ever tried.

Just to level out the playing field, I've got the same problem on a Samsung Nexus (I just noticed it sometime over the last hour or so). I just happened to wind up here when Google Now said "No Connection" and then brought me here as if it had a perfect connection
edit; Haven't tested this notion yet but I realize that this started for me when I applied today's google maps update which supposedly is more tightly integrated with google now so that it can get maps.google.com searches history that was just typed in on a pc in your account. I'm going to revert back to the backed up prior one and see if it goes away.
Good to know that am not the only one.

Reverted to 1 version back of Google Maps (about 1 month old), and it didn't change the 'no connection" problem in Google Now, so .. so much for that theory

Having the same issues. It's occurring on my Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, and an Acer A200 tablet, with both of my Google accounts. I tried clearing the data for Google Now on the 7 and GNex, nothing. Changing passwords doesn't help, and reverting to the old maps doesn't. I even tried uninstalling the most recent Google Now update, nothing.

So two weeks ago I turn on my TF300T in the morning and saw this 4.2.1 update . Since I was in a hurry to go out, I didn't check if there is any bug.After I saw a post about people having problem with no audio output from HDMI after the update on other site.I decided to try if really there is such problem and guess what, same problem,no audio out for me too.I'm creating this thread so that people with this problem can come together and discuses and see if we can write something to Asus or find a way to solve this problem.

I don't think Asus have release any new update to fix this. Are you rooted? If you are I think the best option is to roll back to the last version. I'm currently on this version.
As I mentioned on another thread, some people (me included) have audio via HDMI only if the tablet volume is raised before connecting the cable. It's not a normal thing to do, but at least it works. Did you try it?
I thought the fix for this was setting media volume to max before plugging in HDMI cable?

Thanks. I plan on getting an HDMI cable but if audio dont work then i aint.
Yesterday i picked up a micro hdmi cable to try video for the first time. I got video but no audio. I am running 4.2.1. I checked this forum only to find these threads. Here is what I found:
No audio on my 26" Sony
Turning the audio up first made no difference
The image goes off screen
When i plugged it into the tv while the tv was set to a different input, audio still played from the TF300T speaker. As soon as i changed the tv input to hdmi, the TF300T audio went silent.
Then I tried it on my old rear projection Sony tv and audio worked.
The TF300T is definitely having trouble on some tv's - newer models???
I guess i'll report it to asus.
