I tried 3 different web browsers and all 3 were not smooth. They were choppy and lagged big time. If I went to move the page up or down with my finger it would pause for like half second then jump up real quick to catch up. User experience is pretty lame. The sound is awful coming from that thing they call a speaker in the back. It did perform a firmware update along with a camera update. What browser does everyone use? I tried Firefox Beta, ICS+, Dolphin. She has a couple of weeks to return it, which I'll probably make her do it. I guess she doesn't know about my Samsung! Ooops.

Is there a point to this post? If you have issues with the Infinity and you want help we're here for that. If you want to vent that you hate the device, please do it somewhere else. I'm sure there's a Samsung Galaxy Tab or note forum that would love to hear it.
Anyways, to answer the question, if you look through the threads and do some research, most people use Chrome, Browser (stock), Firefox beta, and Boat Browser (there are plenty of threads on it).
I use ICS+ but my only problem is that everything takes so long to load. But it's pretty smooth for me.

Well, I don't have those issues on my Infinity, so either it's a user issue, you are a troll or you have faulty hardware.
Either way, do us a favor and just return it - coming here to complain isn't going to help.

The issues are nearly the same for me. Browsing is too slow and laggy. I tried hard reset and updating firmware but no go...
Anyone has ideas?

Agreed, complaining never helped anything in life. You should look around for solutions for the issues you're having.
I use the stock browser, Dolphin and Chrome; depending on the site I may switch from one to another for best performance. Stock works fine for me on most sites though.
I would recommend Volume+, really helps with the low volume!!
BTW, you're girlfriend is obviously totally rad, getting you a brand-spankin'-new Asus Transformer Infinity!!! Hopefully you're not being completely ungrateful for the awesome gift she got you. Now go get her some flowers!

Do a factory reset, because something is wrong with your software. The install dolphin. Many people here consider it the smoothest browser for the Infinity by far.
Complaining here will get you nothing. Many of us would rather have rock solid hardware with a great dev community to make up for the manufacture's software shortcomings than the creaky plastic and low res screens present in Samsung's sorry excuses for tablets.
Background processes limit to 4! (Developer options in settings) good luck.

Alright...I have been waiting and waiting for a good android tablet...and right now...the Xoom is the best thing out... I know we have a few more options coming down the road...but it is just bugging the hell out of me that I don't have one yet. I just want to know from those that have a Xoom...was it worth it? Do you plan on selling it, returning it, or trading it in for another HC Tablet like the new Galaxy Tabs(sexy),G Slate...HTC whatever....or any others coming down the pipeline? Are the bugs too much to deal with....is the SD card slot not working...that irritating ...does no USB hosting make you want to throw it out the window...Do you get way too many FC's....are you really sick and tired of being shown Mobile Versions of web sites???? I guess my real question is....Are you happy?
Oh...I plan on surfing the web, watching some movies on an upcoming flight, playing some games, checking emails...ummm...facebook...twitter....normal stuff....if that helps at all

The jury's still out. If I get to day 85 of my 90 day Costco return policy and nothing has changed, it's going back. If Motorola/Google can iron out all the bugs, and I see a steady stream of high quality tablet apps, then I'm keeping it.

It's totally impossible to watch a YouTube video while browsing. If you click on YouTube it takes me like 5+ random clicks on anything to hopefully open the YouTube app... and then I pray that it doesn't force close... and if it does open I have to pray it doesn't freeze midway.
I'm with MikeyMike01, but also include the cold ghosting. I posted a question if anyone else noticed it, but only received a single reply saying they didn't notice it. I find it hard to imagine only my unit has the issue though.
I've also had issues with it taking sometimes 20-30 seconds for the screen to turn on after hitting the unlock button on the back.
I initially really liked it, but am now considering getting an ipad2.
I'm contemplating whether the 15% restocking fee is worth it (I got mine at Amazon)

This man speaks the truth.
I am glad that costco gave me a 3 year warranty... however I'm sure I'll upgrade within the first year lol.
Anyways, I love this tablet, I'm very happy I got it, and like he said costco gives you 3 MONTHS to decide if you like it or not! That's ridiculous! They accept returns no questions asked . I've returned the xoom twice and I didn't get asked a single thing. (unlucky with dead pixels)
edit: and costco gives you a free gel case!
At first I was going to buy the galaxy tab 10.1 (original version), but when I did see wifi only Xoom in stock at B&H I couldn't resist and ordered it. I just couldn't wait any longer.
After 3 days with it, I can say I'm happy with it.
Yesterday I started having hangs on the stock browser, I could scroll and zoom, but I couldn't click on any links. Only restart helped. So I removed the apps I installed yesterday and it seems the problem went away. So it seems the browser problems are somehow related to some apps that cause problems.
I haven't had any other problems.
bought it at Costco as well. Actually I'm replying this message on it.
I don't have any major issue with it and I love it! Don't care much about the motor gel case though.
damn thanks guys. Real honest answers....I couldn't wait...well I could but I got really aggravated at the end of the day from general life BS...so I ran out and picked one up to make up for it....Plus youngotta see for yourself. Any ways right? I had a boat load of Best buy reward zone certificates so I picked one up there...I figure I will play with it for a week and return it if I dont like it... but I feel like if I have any issues it will be more with honeycomb than the Xoom...and hopefully Google and Motorola will address them in the future. So far I'm liking it....I'm on it now.....here's hoping for a good experience or decent experience
my biggest complain so far is the screen. It just so washed out compare to my ipad. Heck, my Gtablet screen actually looks better (at the right angle of course). I love honeycomb though. It's a bit confusing at first, but now I don't think I can enjoy using a tablet with a different OS.
I got mine at costco also, so I'm not too worried about new tablets coming out. right now I'm very interested with the transformer. especially with its IPS screen. I just hope that it's built well like the xoom.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

No you ain''t the only one...
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.

Well said, both of you.

Same here. My TF700 is also stock running JB.
Hell, it is almost a laptop with the dock.
I am very happy.
All we need now is some more decent apps to make this the best piece of portable hardware around.
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.
I think people need to understand that tablets are still very young, comparably.

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 laugh every time I read posts like these. So you telling me its OK that you paid 544$ plus 149.99$ for the dock n still have the build quality that you have?.. damn I love android but I am not a fool. For this kind of money I am expecting to get the best of android because there is no other android device that has a fhd display and costs this much. I know were you coming, I felt the same way in the first month of me owning it. But now I am trying really hard to love my infinity and not unlock my tablet nor trade it in for another company or device.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

Did think it was that easy.... had the tablet for 6 months and didn't bother unlocking or rooting cause it looked annoying, can't believe I didn't do it earlier now. I wouldn't say its a completely new tab experience, but I can say Im not thinking about getting s nexus 10 anymore. So if you feel your infinity isnt on par... unlock and root. It's worth it.

I couldn't agree more. Actually I was in the same position and state of mind... You know, all about "what about my warranty etc.".
By the end, I got pissed not using the TF700 just because it was laggy and not as expected. The basic thought was just that I bought a device for 700€, I just need to use it at it's utmost, or at least as I would like to use it.
I took the risk to root, on CM10.1 Nightly. Well, that was quite fast and now it's a new tablet. As Jojo said it definitively worth the switch to a custom rom.
For those who are afraid, as I was, please note that "custom rom" can no more be related to "unstable and testing". There is really reliables and stables release from highly qualified programmers (CM10,AOKP/AOSP, CROMI....).
Unless you only use the tablette to listen music without touching I really recommend to jump on a CRom.

Anyone who thinks that the nexus 10 is a good replacement for the infinity is nuts. I work in a tech store and have access to the nexus 10 and the ipad 4 (or ipad retina), the infinity dances circles around them and is way more productive. The infinity can replace laptops, unless you need high end software to edit videos, pictures, or data (stats software). The development on the infinity also rivals any other device out there. If you install CROMI you will understand, it has better support and updates than any other ROM out there. It also squashes them in terms of performance. At this point no software on my infinty is stock other than apps, and i couldnt be happier. Not many devices have a custom bootloader, kernel, governors, scheduler, ROM, theme, and UI mods that work to create a comprehensive and kickass system.
Agreed
I am with you, I only had my tablet for a month or two before not being able to stand it. But once I put CleanRom on it, it flies. Makes it worth it all the more, and those who have not done it yet, are missing out. However, before doing anything make sure you spend lots and lots of time looking up on how to do so!!!

I lasted 6 weeks and got pissed off with the constant native browser crashes..several sites that I frequent have Flash and only the native browser supports it properly. Didn't care about the warranty really, it is only for a year and it looks like I've got a decent device.
After I got over the "scared to break something", it was quite easy. Now just to keep up with the CROMI updates. It doesn't take long to patch at least.

This thread has it all Also, refer to Post 2 in that same thread for additional stuff.
I think by the time I gathered everything, read as much as possible, it took about 2 hours from start to finish.
There's also a youTube video in that thread. The software that he used was much easier in my opinion.

If you're having Flash issues, try Boat Browser. Flash works perfectly. It's nice to watch a CNN stream nice and smooth in Flash on this big screen.
