Netflicks - Asus Transformer TF700

Got my infinity, love it all except Netflicks UI runs super laggy. Even on performance mode its runs slow. Anyone else have the same issue?

Hurrrrr yeah, thats what I mean.

Try forcing 2D acceleration under Developer Settings. I think its called "Force GPU rendering." I don't have my TF700 yet but this helps Netflix on all other devices. It won't be silky smooth but it easily doubles the frame rate on my TF201.

...but has been said to generally slow down the system, although it's theoretically meant just for older APIs, at least the benchmarks show considerably lower results when it's on.

It doesn't slow down your system. I'm sure benchmarks not made with it in mind will have lower scores but who cares? It improves the performance for many apps and that is what matters. It shouldn't affect 3D games as this setting only affects Android UI widgets.
The only real down side is that there might be an app or two out there that's not compatible with the forced GPU rendering(hence why its disabled by default). I personally have never run into an app that had issues but an app that extensively uses custom widgets potentially could.

I have noticed the same issue. The app is unusable as is...

yep, this faster product is worse than my archos 10.1 in netflix navigation. good thing there are queue managers to take care of this problem. i hated the day netflix went from a text based instant queue to this pretty shiny crappy picture list.

We had this problem on the prime too. Forcing GPU redering seemed to help, but I can say it doesn't seem to help on the infinity. What finally solved it was an update from Netflix. Worked smooth as butter after that. I'm really surprised to see it so slow on the infinity.

Is your Web browsing extremely slow?

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 ...
Is there a 1 click root available? I have never used adb. I'm too noobish.

Netflix app insanely laggy

Hey all. Is anyone else having major problems with Netflix? When trying to navigate through the library it is painfully slow, I am talking 6 second delay and then a choppy partial scroll when trying to scroll. I have uninstalled updates and cleared cache to no avail. Haven't rooted yet so I cant do a complete uninstall.

I have this issue.. the netflix app is extremely laggy and unresponsive to me. Can't scroll because it thinks I am clicking where I start the scroll. Pages take forever to load. Very frustrating.
Otherwise happy with my infinity!
Yeah the netflix app is unusable in its current state. If you force 2D hardware rendering it does perform quite a bit better, but still damn clunky and way to slow to use IMO.
I am also having the same issue. Purchased my tablet from Amazon and this weekend I was playing around with it. Netflix very slow.
I've been going to the website and adding videos to the instant queue so I don't have to scroll on the Netflix app. The actual streaming works quite well though.

Yeah It does look good once you get it started. Its pretty crazy that they put the app on here stock in its current state though.
At least you can open your Netflix, mine just crashes when i try to open it. (As does the website... which is pretty odd)
Can anyone post the latest apk - I cant seem to download it from play.
Edit:
Don't worry, they updated their description on the play store with a download link.
netflix on tf700
So my wife's Nexus 7 tablet does not have the slow Netflix experience.
However my TF700 and MK802 both have the slow Netflix.
Considering the Nexus 7 and the TF700 are both Asus Tegra3 devices, can only guess it might be a problem with ICS, solved with the butter in Jelly bean.
Given that the MK802 is an ICS device with the same slowness, it does at least support the theory.
Did try netflix on my old SPH-D700 (Samsung Epic 4G) running on Gingerbread, and the netflix app seems entirely different, and has no scrolling lag. So That narrows it down to the tablet version of netflix on ICS.
Does anybody have another device that it works well?
Maybe it's optimized for some specific GPU?
More likely it's a resolution issue. 1920x1080 takes a lot more rendering power than 1280x720.

Setting the option to force GPU rendering fixes the issue entirely. I had horrible UI performance in Netflix until I turned on the option.
Go to settings\developer options\force GPU rendering. Terminate and then relaunch Netflix. Problem solved.

it does a lot better, but still not optimal. mine sometimes registers a tap when it supposed to be a drag and launches a movie or description when not wanted. i wonder it it's the tablet or netflix's fault on that.
I just tried Netflix again yesterday. I'm on Zeus 3. Downloaded Netflix from market. No lag for me anymore.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I'm on Zeus' rom as well. Netflix doesn't perform any better now than it did when I was on stock. Still have to force 2d rendering to even be able to navigate at all, and even then it's still pretty slow. I want an interface that is smooth like the app drawer. It can't be that friggin hard.
The interface also sometimes interprets a swipe for a tap and loads up an episode I was trying to scroll past.
I'm not sure where the difference may be in our setups. I'm not even using forced 2d. Everything scrolls smoothly with no aberrant taps being detected. It works the way it should.

Thanks. Although Netflix browsing still isn't perfect, the above significantly improved it. It actually scrolls when the just a tinge of lag, but nothing to spoil the experience. Before, it was like it wanted to wait till all the images were loaded.
I also found this made just moving around in the OS much snappier.
Forced GPU renderign helps, but this is still slow, compared to Vimeo for example.
I also find that the audio is frequently out of synch with video when I view Netflix HDMI out to a HD TV.
I often have to wait for Netflix to respond to touch commands, I am very unhappy with the app.
I also have the problem of subtitles not being o/p to the HD TV, but I saw a suggested fix for that elsewhere.
I wonder if I should uncheck the Netflix developer fixes when I am not using Netflix. Any suggestions?

Postive and Negative with Jelly Bean Thread.

Hi ! I want to hear your opinions about the new Jelly Bean update. What is positive and what is negative with the new update. Also what are your opinions about the new functions .
I noticed that there is another Thread about this. My mistake. I was typing for too long.
i have use JB in a few devices already, Galaxy nexus, Galaxy S3, Nexus 7, Asus prime TF201. I can tell you right away that this version is the worth of all. the opening and closing animation of apps is jerky. Not smooth at all. The task manager to close app is always butter smooth in other devices when you scroll up and down, here is jerky. Not sure if this might add because of the 1920x1200 resolution which is 4x higher than 720p and require more cpu power. This is kind of disappointed, i really starting to think that this resolution is to much for a tegra 3.

balance and performance. both setting perfomance about the same. tab on the setting icon, or browser icon, the new animation for JB is suppost to be butter smooth but in this version of JB for our TF700 is jerky. scrolling and pinch to zoom seem find for a jb rom.

Ye. I find this quite disapointing to. Its not smooth at all. I think the full hd res is to much to handle for the tegra3
From my units standpoint it is not rooted and never has been the upgrade has made it much faster. I now understand what 'buttery smooth' means. No issues at this point with the download, upgrade, app loading or functioning afterwards. Wifi works as does gps. I use Boat as my browser and its significantly faster. Not quite as fast as my iPad3 but pretty close. Scrolling web pages is without lag now at least for me. Thank you Asus for a GREAT upgrade.

I'll let you in on a little secret. Get simple image live wallpaper. It causes no lag (multipicture lwp sometimes does) and it has no cropping either. You can even set different images for portrait and landscape modes.
I had similar jerkiness and slowness after the initial update. After reading the TF201 forums I was ready to do a factory reset right after updating. Since then, I've restored all my apps and widgets, regained root, downloaded lots of things in the background while using the tab etc.. I'm happy to report It's buttery smooth. If you haven't done a factory reset after upgrading, do yourself a favor and give it a try.
Also, I had an interesting bug. My SD card wasn't recognized until after I rebooted the 2nd time after my factory reset. It's working fine now.. it even seems to be reading/writing faster than before.
positive - we can now take pics while recording with the stock camera.
negative - the stock camera has a bit of a hiccup.

1) I have the no icons on home screen bug until you flip back and forth.
2) Cool tool only shows in portrait mode for me now.
If you run into problems with apps and performance, I suggest to perform a factory reset. That should clear things up and insure a clean Jelly Bean experience. Also since JB just droped this morning, don't expect it to be smooth. The new OS needs to settle before you can truly see a difference. Just wait at least 24 hours before you praise or complain about your experience. But for the meantime, I applied a cold boot after I noticed a bit of sluggishness. Seems to have fixed that. Ill probably do a factory reset if my apps act up though.

Is this tablet really this slow and buggy? Worth rooting?

I just bought this device as a toy and a test as a computer tablet. I found it to be slow and buggy. I do notice that in browsing heavy pages like the real facebook page it IS faster than my Galaxy Note 1 but in almost everything else, the Note is faster and snappier. I have disabled lots of apps, resett it, no change. So my question, I guess this one is really worth rooting and installing a good rom Im used to the Cyanogen to my phones, is Cyanogen working good for this tablet?
Im still marveled by the quality of the screen, I dont think I ever have seen such a good screen! If I just now could get it working somewhat near as good as my Note 1 I will be a happy panda
Thanx in advance peeps
My experience is that it is NOT slow and buggy.
I could compare it with an iPad3 last week and I think they are very close.
You can't compare it with a note because due to the much higher resolution the gpu has to do so much more computing. That is why the nexus7 is faster than the tf700 due to it's smaller screen AND resolution

I'm on stock rom with browser2ram and force2gpu enabled. My table is very fast. Just remember before you flash a new rom, just do factory reset(data wipe 3 times). Also root is good (allow you to install rooted app like Titinium backup, SetcPU etc..), but don't unlock unless absolutely necessary (void your warranty), or you have time or like to play with custom rom.
Ok, sounds like I will root it then and try to tweak it, Im not satisfied with the speed with it sofar. Its seems stable now after I resetted it, before the reset, it crasched 2-10 times a day. My idea was that since the GPU and CPU is older in the Note, The Tegra 3 would be able to handle the FullHD resolution but it doesnt seem to .. I definatly want a ROM without the garbage crap
I plan to use it to write alot on, can you recommend a good office app? Or a browser that google docs work good with
Is games running good for you?? The new demanding ones I tried before resetting was really slow and laggy.
Thanx for the replys, I hope I get this baby running smoother

Yes, all games, videos, pictures, and documents and apps are function normally. There are 3 most popular office apps:
1. Documents to go (this can view google docs also. Paid version only)
2. Kingsoft office
3. Polaris office (currently polaris has a bug with fonts).
My stock browser can view google docs fine. I think stock browser is the best in my opinion (have tried boat, chrome, mozilla etc...)

The Infinity's performance is not CPU bound and is not due to the higher res. It's I/O limited. The CPU is plenty fast enough. As soon as the memory config requires the system to start hitting the /sdcard memory, the system will be subject to random stuttering/pausing because the sdcard memory is the cheapest, slowest, crappiest flash RAM ASUS could find.
This is why stuff like browser2ram is seen as a huge boost for people that do a lot of browsing and it is also why the stuttering varies from user to user/session to session since the RAM situation in the system varies from config to config and moment to moment during use. Some users who's config has a lot of free DRAM and do not frequently use stuff that hits the sdcard partition hard, see almost no performance issues with the tablet.

Thanx for the info! That was my biggest thoughts about the Infinity, "is the RAM enough?" and it isnt but then Ill just have to multitask less and try to tweak it. And perhaps dont install multipicture wallpaper.. but thats one of the things that I love about my Note

As soon as the memory config requires the system to start hitting the /sdcard memory, the system will be subject to random stuttering/pausing because the sdcard memory is the cheapest, slowest, crappiest flash RAM ASUS could find.
This is why stuff like browser2ram is seen as a huge boost for people that do a lot of browsing and it is also why the stuttering varies from user to user/session to session since the RAM situation in the system varies from config to config and moment to moment during use. Some users who's config has a lot of free DRAM and do not frequently use stuff that hits the sdcard partition hard, see almost no performance issues with the tablet.

I just bought this device as a toy and a test as a computer tablet. I found it to be slow and buggy. I do notice that in browsing heavy pages like the real facebook page it IS faster than my Galaxy Note 1 but in almost everything else, the Note is faster and snappier. I have disabled lots of apps, resett it, no change. So my question, I guess this one is really worth rooting and installing a good rom Im used to the Cyanogen to my phones, is Cyanogen working good for this tablet?
Im still marveled by the quality of the screen, I dont think I ever have seen such a good screen! If I just now could get it working somewhat near as good as my Note 1 I will be a happy panda
Thanx in advance peeps

Hmmm, I've found mine to be quick and virtually bug-free, but then again I didn't buy it as a toy.
A little tweaking and I wouldn't call it slow. Even stock its a solid piece of equipment.
Apply data2sd mod built for CleanROM 2 after installing the ROM. You'll need a fast sd card.
Research the threads. The blob for data2sd for that ROM was just posted today.
look at my I/O!

I own both the Infinity and the Acer a700 and after the a700 got JB earlier today, I will say that the Infinity lags more than the a700 (and I was very happy with the Infinity). Colour me shocked.
The only time I really ever experience any lag or sluggishness is when browsing. I will be rooting once there is a method discovered for Jelly Bean on the Infinity. I'd really like to give browser2ram a shot. I've heard it does wonders for browsing.

Better than ever
Before i say thing, I will list the important things about my tablet - C7 model, Has been repaired for speaker issues & Jelly bean 4.1.1. I'd say TF700T is a powerful device, It lacks the software for it. I use to notice quiet a bit of lag on ICS but after upgraded to Jelly bean, It's faster than ever! I would even compare it to iPad 3:laugh: I'm running Stock Jelly bean with a bit of removing apps here and there.
I Don't know why everyone is having problems with such a decent device.

I you guys would read the Development section (read the newer threads, please) you would see that CleanROM2.2 has pretty much completely eliminated the lag and i/o issues. It's reason enough to root and unlock. This tablet is a beast when it is allowed to begin to reach its full potential.

I think CleanROM 2.2 is the route I'm going to go too...that's if I can figure out how to do it without asking a bunch of dumbs**t questions.
Still reading about it in development.
I'm getting more and more disappointed with this TF700T each time I turn it on lately...
Did really dig it for a while...not anymore
Will i unlock? No...

If it was really laggy and something that i can't deal with i would unlock but since it feels flawless, I might stay. I don't give a crap about their warranty but i do care for my device (brick)

It's the total opposite for me. ICS was fast and virtually lag-free. The latest updates to Jellybean my Infinity lags like nobody's business. Very disappointing. Looks like root'n'rom time.

What is force2gpu?
(google seems to give irrelevant results).
Thx

If I may attempt an answer,
I believe that's a reference to the "force gpu rendering" in settings under developer options.

[Q] Nova Launcher Lag

Is anyone else experiencing lag using Nova Launcher on the Shield?
I know certain apps might not be optimized for the GPU, but surely it shouldn't be laggy. Only starts lagging after navigating for a while
Anyone else got this?
I'm seeing lag also, but also with the Google Launcher.

Nope.. Mine rawks..:good:
Mines fine. The only issue Nova has for me on the tablet is that it crash's while renaming a app inside of a folder while in the drawer.

What Nvidia power settings do you have on? Left it on Optimized?

Indeed, also I have every App set to be auto optimized by Nvidia.

Thanks I'm going to give that try when i'm home
It seems the only way not to get lag is to put it on Max Performance mode. Wonder how badly that impacts battery life

I agree with you. Definitely not as smooth as it should be for such a powerful device.
Some people's definition of lag free is way off the mark.
I've also got an HTC M8 next to me and it is extremely smooth in comparison.
anyone had any luck with the new update fixing this problem?
No, was talking to tier 1 support and they demanded a video showing the laggy behavior.
