Big improvement with latest patch

For people with Lag issues it appears that the latest patch will help a lot. I've gone into most of my apps, done updates while using the tablet, and worked in my browser. Before this update I always got lag and frequently the wait/close app dialog.
After this patch today I'm not seeing these problems. Things still aren't silky smooth but there aren't any big hiccups. I'd consider this version to make the tablet usable where before it was an exercise in frustration.
So go to settings, about tablet, system firmware update, then check. Definitely a lot of improvements.

Where are you located? I checked and it says no update. I'm in the US.

I'm in the US and I just received the new firmware after checking for an update. OTAs are usually pushed out in batches so it's possible not everyone with a US tablet can get the update yet.

Im in the US, got update an hour ago

I was out of the house when I read about this. Just got home and I was able to check for update and install new firmware. Its about 80% done right now. (From US)

first my xoom gets jelly bean and now this. woo hoo

Noticed a camera and touch screen update. Anyone test clicking sound in cam? Wonder if it's gone.

I got home not long ago (10-11pm central time). Played around with the tablet. No update dialog yet. Seemed kinda slow because tablet's been on for a day or so, and I rebooted it. After it booted up, I was prompted for a firmware upgrade. Perhaps try rebooting? And I'm located in US (Texas) if that matters.

I doubt location (within US) matters but if it does I'm in Dallas and i have the update.

the latest firmware version on asus website at this time is V9.4.5.22
@OP: what firmware version do you have after the update?

Just heard about the new patch, checked the System Firmware Update in the Setting menu and the download started right away. The only problem, it won't install when your battery is below 15%! I'm at 8% and climbing. They send these out in batches, so if you don't have it now you should be getting it soon. If you're in Austin, TX you should be able to get the update.

I am in the US as well, no updates here.

So just pulled the update...fairly impressed obviously the kernel has been turned down a bit ...stock now @ 1700 vs 1900...touch screen seems better calibrated ...apps seem to open faster however a good cache/dalvik wipe always has that effect...was able to keep root...haven't unlocked yet as there is no ROMS/kernels yet so why bother ....camera does not seem any better though.

I'm in the US, bought my amethyst tablet from Amazon, and still on version .21 with no update available.

I Don't understand why i'm getting such low Antutu scores

In the benchmark result post, people are getting way way way better scores than me. People are getting 13 000, 14 000, while you can see in this screenshot, i'm not even hitting 5K. This is with performance mode, running .26
I really dont get it how come my score are so low. I am rooted and have removed a bunch of bloatware that did make my tablet seem smoother. In any case, i did try this test before even rooting and still around 4500. I tried changing settings in SetCPU, even when i use performance governor and cfq, still get around 5100. Any ideas?
My MicroSD is a Sandisk Class 10.

i dont want to unlock as i have a 2 year warranty on this tablet. And even if you might be right about benchmarks, this is not a 5% or even 10% difference, its 60 to 70%. That is a major difference that has something behind it and i want to try and find out what that is.

Do you have force GPU rendering on in the Dev option, because it is known to drastically drop your scores.
I'm getting around 14150 using Zues' Rom v3.0.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app

in addition to ensuring that you have forced 2d rendering disabled, you might want to check your minfree settings. right after flashing zeus' rom earlier i ran a test and also got around 5k. it didn't jump up to 13k until i adjusted minfree. you can find some suggested settings in d14b0ll0s' tweaks thread. you don't need to be unlocked but you do need root.

Mh... i had similiar issues too. First after i installed .26 i got also 13k. Then after some time i only got 5k-7k.
Yesterday i read an article on anandtech.com with the title the-16gb-nexus-7-storage-performance. Sorry can't post url's.
One of the comments remembered me about one thing. I also had a transformer prime. I used it to store my pictures. The more less diskspace i had, the slower the transformer become.
i had some movies, pictures and tv episodes on infinitys internal memory. After deleting them i got again 10-12k.
Actually, we should become very angry on asus putting such a crap into a such expensive device. Even the nexus 7 got apparently a better controller then our infinity... grrrrrr

Well I only got 3600 on the quadrant mark with the .26 update installed, so I was a it puzzled there. When I tried without force GPU rendering it couldn't even hit 3000!

Ran this one just once this morning. I'm stock, rooted, locked. Used setcpu to overclocking both max/min to 1700MHz and set to performance.
Ran this one with ATP Tweak.

Some of you have suggested a factory reset. For others it also solved some smoothness and lag issues. Well I decided to do it too and I'm back to having normal antutu scores. The lowest score I have is 13286 and the highest is 14092. So a factory reset did fix the issues. I I'm happy now

What is your i/o score on quadrant?

My last 3 infinitys had very low io scares and were very choppy when using the device. Im on my 4th and this one has a score of around1080 for io performance on quadrant. What are your scores?

The Infinity has the worst I/O between the tf101 and tf201 in stock. Unlock your device and get the Zeus rom to increase the I/O A LOT. I just ran a test and got 4777 on I/O.

I/O scores are best on ZEUS v4.0 (ICS) and the Team EOS Jelly Bean 1 Rom, though it gave me some random reboots. Both Baked Black Bean 3 rom and the CM10 alpha have I/O (at least SQLite) score more like stock. Needs to have some tweaking done. Otherwise, all the JB roms are even faster than ZEUS v4.0, which is nice and fast.

Running stock, performance mode, Force 2D GPU rendering OFF
I/O score of 1125.
Really hope that if/when they release JB, it fixes the I/O problem.
Although to be honest, its showing the TF201 as having a higher I/O than the Infinity, however I remember my TF201 being even more sluggish when I/O-ing, such as installing apps from the Play Store, etc.

I kind of don't pay as much of attention to Quadrant and benchmarks. They are good static indicators but lets face it (they do things you wouldn't normally do).
If the tablet is slow in different areas it will be noticeable. If it's not then hey it's working well. Kind of like the Kindle Fire's will probably not score as high but they work well for what they were designed to do.

I can't explain why there is a sudden jump in performance for both total and i/o, but to get more reliable scores you should run it multiple times. Compared to the other devices shown in the result page, the i/o (green) is still behind all other devices.
I'm still waiting for ASUS to release the .30 for WW and hoping that it or JB will improve the scores.

Would like to see some of the German S4 Snapdragon infinity scores.

Quadrant crashes in the 3d tests for me now that 30 is installed. Used to run ok on 26.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app

Got my infinity and ran quadrant right away my I/O score was in the 4,000 range. I was on a rom version before .26.
I updated to .26 and it went to around 1,000.
I found this odd because people keep saying .26 has better performance.. I never actually used the tablet pre .26 update... but this thing kinda sucks. My fairly old Iconia a500 is WAY smoother and offers a better overall user experience.
I just updated to .30
Now I get about 850 I/O
At this rate I'll be down to 0 soon.

I got a 4116 on .30 rooted...stock firmware. Not sure how some of u are only in the 1,000's

Stock Teg3 One X running the recent 4.0.4 update.
If you guys want numbers that make you feel good about IO, use Quadrant. It runs four simple tests and only runs sequential, not random reads and writes. Random, especially writes (actually, all writes), is a weakness on all Asus tablets because of their choice of IO controller and NAND solution. AndroBench runs 11 IO tests and breaks out the results of each.
Here's a Teg3 One X vs. a stock TF300 on JB. The TF201, TF300, and TF700 are all using the same implementation of Hynix NAND. The N7 is where Asus moved to a Kingston solution. According to Anand it's better but not significantly. The $199 7" KF HD is using a Samsung IO controller and NAND. Asus' IO issues aren't s/w, they're h/w and will continue until they start using more mainstream solutions like Samsung, HTC, and even Amazon use.
This is a good discussion of Asus' IO challenges...

I don't know what happened. I started out with what i consider terrible quadrant compared to ics. I'm rooted and unlocked, but other than cleanup bloatware my tablet is stock. I have 2d acceleration ticked.
4711 is 200points higher than ics score. Someone mentioned wait a few days, my response, what that's going to do? Maybe he was right.

I don't think scores are the end all. User experience is much more important. I don't know which test is best, but quadrant is easy to use and gives a graph that i can compare over time. Quadrant is just away to keep score.

Unfortunately the Transformer Infinity doesn't compare to my GS3 overall. The Infinity has a monster CPU and slightly better GPU overall (based on many tests which it wins some and loses some), but the 2D performance is severely lacking as is the I/O. Still, it's not a bad thing at all. Works quite well for what I wanted.

It's still the same however.
No clue what's going on with this latest firmware.

I just ran a speed test. 16.9 mbps down and 5.9 mbps up. No problems. I guess I'm just lucky.....

Not here. I applied the update last night, then restored root - performed a couple of app updates this morning. System has not rebooted since update applied.
