[Q] Performance Problems whit Transformer Eee Pad

Hi there..
Im very disappointed whit the performance from Eee Pad. Moving between the screens is not fluent, after installing the Prime Rom v1.5 it was better, but thats not the only one issue..
So, first as wrote: Moving betweens the screens, not fluent, then moving in the App Menu, not fluent too.
Seccond problems and which are very important for me, if this Eee Pad is for a normal daily use or not, whit my experience in the last two day, more not than yes.
Biggest performace issue, i think it have something whit the flash, is browsing and the market. The response time in browser is more than bad, sometimes the browser need two/three secconds to execute a command like a simple click on a link button. Writing in a forum its very terrible, the capitals comes to late, sometimes it skip some capitals or free space between the words, the keyboard have lags and its not fast.. Sometimes the page didnt show correct, the only way to get it right, close the browser and open it again.
If i browse in the market at the same time im in internet, the scrolling is so ****ing slow and so ****ing laggy, its really not acceptable.. the scroll speed in the browser self is not much better..
This problem stil exist, it does not matter stock or custom rom..
Im really really disappointed about this, i paid the device 650CHF, its around 500€ maybe more, but my galaxy s 2 works much better and faster, really its not a joke!!
My question at you, did somebody share this experience whit me or im alone whit this opinion??
If some DEV read this Theard, then i would ask it all, is there a fix which we get soon to fix this performance problems? Otherwise, i will sell this device..
Many thanks!
Best regards,
Adnan.

Don't have the issues you describe. I had the zoom before as well as a ipad. Maybe you got a bad one our your expectations are too high for a tablet?

I would have it checked out...nothing but great performance on mine...

Thers some performance problems but not many now, many are problems with honeycomb and tegra aupport since theyre both relatively new. Did you do a clean flash of prime 1.5 and overclock? That seemed to fix a lot of problems for me. Honeycomb 3.2 should fix a lot of problems and hopefully it wil be available to us within the next few weeks.

Weird. I don't have any of those problems, except making a post on this forum takes forever for the letters to show up in the box.

*smile thats the question, is it my pad, or is it me.. but i dont wont to game whit it, everything what i need is 100% working browser and device, whitout lags, everything fluent whit no hangs.. thats it..
take a look on this review, --> title in youtube --> iPad 2 vs Asus EEE Pad Transformer - quick comparison <-- i have the same problems, and maybe bit more.. you see when hi try to scroll, it works after third try, or when hi try to press the full screen button for video play.. so when you the whole day press everything two three times, its very bad.. move betweens the screens its not so bad, bud not fluent..

Have you tried installing system panel, then loading the kill all widget, the white X looks the best and goes with the desktop weather app etc. Just click on it to end processes. I stopped using a task killer on my HTC Desire HD with 2.3 but think Honeycomb still needs one at this moment in time. Opera mobile sorts lag in typing on XDA, also great for pinch and zoom in youtube web page.

[Q] What are you looking forward to in ICS for the Transformer?

We've got a bunch of great ROMs out and many are ICS themed. And ICS seems like a bigger update for phones than it does for tablets anyway. So then, what do you hope for in an ICS release for our Transformers (besides for CM9 )?

spell check...

I know I'm asking too much but would love 1080p recording and playback.
I also hope they fix the hdmi panasonic plasma issue fixed here by clemsyns kernel.

new style, new features, new market,
maybe faster and optimized.
but most for a browser which is fast, has no keyboard input lag, and handles the dock well with german language

Most important to me:
1) Fix conection to Panasonic plasma via HDMI
2) Create folders on home screen without any launcher

how about no crashes... my browser will close without FC message on random pages.

what i am most looking forward to it is coming out and these anticpation threads drying up!!

That some apps that block HC will now be supported.

I second that. I got sick and tired of hearing about ICS back in September, and I was really fired up in July,
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

This isn't really an anticipation thread. I was genuinely curious as to what people are looking out for because it doesn't seem like ICS will bring very much change to what we currently have.

I have read that ICS will finally bring cisco ipsec to android which i am eagerly awaiting.
I am also hoping the javascript engine on the browser will be improved to make browsing better and quicker.
other than that i just want some more RTS games to be released for android.

I think the browser in ICS is getting an update on v8, but idk how well it will improve on our systems.

Point is, there has been enough ranting and raving and I want it last frakking year syndrome around here, to make some people sick of ice cream sandwiches, which is sadness.

I'm looking forward to a significantly faster browser (according to early reports), and the ability to kill tasks without needing to install a third-party app to do so. (Now we just need a way to prevent tasks being automatically killed when not in the foreground.)

I want a browser without keyboard lag.

the keyboard lag, is that when characters with accents pop out of nowhere?

I think it may have to do with the rendering or something. Opera Mobile seems to basically stick in a native widget, usually looks wrong but works; the stock browser otoh seems to do it like a desktop browser would.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

It seems Jelly Bean is rollin' out soon :fingers-crossed: When would Infinity receive this version? Or should we wait and get the Infinity already installed with this version?
http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/27/jelly-bean-android-4-1-revealed-by-google/

nice. guess i will hold on to my xoom for a while, but im still getting the infinity.

I personally refused to hold my breath and got the Infinity yesterday (me = lucky bastard). Here in Holland, only the 64 GB version will be released initially, by the way.
I don't know what the splendid chefs in here will come up with, but based on my experiences with my SGS2 and all the custom ROMs I've tried on it, I'd prefer most of their cuisine to ASUS' mainstream cooking any day. I like the stock ROM enough to let it be for a while, but I'm going to root it this afternoon, if possible. I need my TB...

I can wait too get one. I will have to root it as soon as possible. I can't live without TB. It is so much easier than waiting on Google or reinstalling manually

Well Asus usually is pretty quick with updates, and they've already been working with the Nexus 7, so they're familiar with the code for it. I'd expect them to have a Jelly Bean update out within a month.

Hi dskw, sorry for not replying that quickly. I must've missed your reply.
I used the process referenced in this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706588
Make sure you have killed off Asus Sync (under WIndows, CTRL-ALT-DEL and End Process). It will interfere to the point of plain inhibition. ' Ot of the box, I couldn't get root acces, but I installed Superuser and Busybox from the Play Store and all was fine. Other than that, all went smoothly for me. Have been running root now for a few days, so at least it is effective and stable.
ADDITION: make sure to try out the sio scheduler swap-out as well. It is one of the main reasons to root the TF700 at the moment, since it does make a (slight) improvement on throughput overall. I will try and find the reference for that procedure as well and post it here, but I'm on a busy train now and people are starting to look at me with this funny look on their faces. :S

Earlier on, I couldn't get what people were talking about either. Being active in the medical field (and having a military background), I'm pretty much used to avalanches of acronyms that you just have to look up. The bane of techie discussions.

Never mind, I did the rooting on my own with the same method.
But the scheduler swap-out is indeed interesting!
I've looked into VoltageControl but it seems like the stock firmware comes only with the noop scheduler.
And next time the people on the train look funny tell them:
YES, it is NOT an Apple! Believe it or stop starring!

You can find the sio swap thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714253 (with the ATP Tweak main thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735887)
You'll need both the app and the scheduler itself, but both are available from the first thread. Have fun!
And as far the people on the train are concerned, I just try and ignore them completely. They'd never understand anyway...

I called Best Buy about two weeks ago to inquire about preorder and the lady started rattling off the specs as she saw them on the screen in front of her. Everything sounded on point so I feel like I can trust the accuracy of her information. What caught my attention was when she said "Jelly Bean". I stopped her and said "Wait, what?". She explained that her info read that the 700 was supposed to have ICS but had "Just changed, and now it's showing Android Jelly Bean for this tablet when it goes on sale". She was sure of this and even doublechecked her data to confirm.
We might see a very welcome update early next week, folks. I wouldn't be surprised.

aaawk, somehow it does not sound real for me.
Next week?
I hope so... but i dont belive it.
Prayyyyyyy....

Jelly Bean won't solve any of the real problems right (e.g. IO), because those are most likely related either to the kernel and/or hardware?

Well the nexus 7 "which is also made by ASUS and is also tegra 3" is using the updated 3.1 kernel. So its possible that they got it working on the Infinity as well...

[q] ota 10.4.4.23

I just got 10.4.4.23 as an OTA update, but can't seem to find it on the Asus site yet or any release notes, anyone else get it?

Just updated mine less than 5 mins ago as well. It seems like it's still Android 4.1.1
I haven't had much time to try it out, but hopefully it makes the tablet a bit snappier. I've been waiting for a performance update.

Probably a placebo effect, but I have not seen the black line on the screen yet....

updated and browser seems a bit snappier and more stable. I have yet to see the dreaded black line......
eta....
saw the black line. I will now cold boot to see if it clears up. Wanted to see how it would run without any cold boot.....
eta2....
Cold booted, still have black line. Browser still seems a bit zippier and handles flash better. Also, i still experience difficulty in text selection and copying, especially in the browser. It seems there is a glitch that i cannot get around. Do any of you guys have the glitch??? (derail unintended)...

Anyone has the dkpkgfile and upload here so we, the unlocked can try out?

Browsing snappier
Browsing on the stock browser seems a lot more faster.I haven't encountered even 1 force close for 10 minutes on the stock browser.Thak god!I was very close to installing clean rom,when i got this update.If this is good,i will put on hold installing custom rom.

Yea, still seeing the black line now too...

Yep black line still in full affect.

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.

My last option is to get rooted, try if at least i can gain of device and delete "asus mags and books" thats keep hidding "google play" original ones

Books: moon+ works fine.
Pdf: adobe is slow on everything... Try perfect viewer.

You can disable most bloatware without rooting, just go to settings-apps-all and hit 'disable' for each of them. I disabled all asus apps...

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.

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.
