Does Google Earth crash? - Asus Transformer TF700

On my infinity, it crashes every time a few seconds after it begins loading 3D content. I was wondering if this happens to everybody. If so, is there a fix?

I am experiencing the same thing.... I guess is a problem with Google Earth

Me too... It might have something to do with the poor i/o speed of the infinity.

I'm not having any issue either. I was able to look at a few castles and The Texas Capitol just fine in 3D. I'm on .26 firmware.

Yup crashing here too with 3d buildings

Game crashes

What games did you have problems with?
I had weird flickering in Six-Guns which I was not able to play at all and now in Siegecraft THD Lite (= demo) which just crashes after hitting play (or play / next)
Some others crashed randomly, but not so much that it would be worth mentioning with all the problems with T3 / TF700...
Update: I've found out that a reboot actually might help when experiencing problems with games (not sure why yet).
Update: After excluding some lines from build.prop and rebooting the device Siegecraft works. Will have to find out what influences the games in general.
It seems that switching off these two in my build.prop file helped with Six-Guns too!
# debug.sf.hw=1
# persist.sys.ui.hw=1
Montezuma 3 starts flickering now and then for no reason, only way to stop it is to kill the game with a task manager and restart it. No other issues found so far with games or apps. Don't have Siegecraft though.
I have issues with Grabatron on my Bionic, a game that I really enjoy. Anyone want to test that one for me? I'd love to play it on the Infinity when I pick it up.

It crashed after 15 minutes of play now. But generally it's working

I've had problem with most THD and 3D-games, heavy flickering and constant crashes. Its better after the latest update though, games still crash but not as often.
Seemed to be memory related as my log showed this error with every crash:
D/NvOsDebugPrintf( 5793): NvRmChannelSubmit failed (err = 196623, SyncPointValue = 1319148)

I had flickering effect in a few games, but after build.prop changes, two of which I've excluded lately. Apart from that, I think that data wipe + flashing TW firmware helped me with a lot of these issues, might be worth a try (you could use MyBackup and store it on external storage manually)
After a bit more testing the crashes are as bad as before and heavier games are as good as unplayable because of this. Anyone else having the same log error as I described above? This is really starting to piss me off...
@d14b0ll0s Might try the build.prop changes you suggested but a data wipe only seems to temporary delay the problem. Might be a memory leak somewhere or in the worst case scenario its defective RAM.

If you hadn't done any build.prop tweaks before, you don't need to exclude these lines, as they are not there.
It may be just system memory settings. Are you rooted?

Nope, im not rooted yet. I've rooted every android device I have ever owned but wanted to wait 'til we got an unlocked bootloader before I started to mess around too much.
Noone else having the same issue?

Thanks for the info...my phone won't load it whatsoever. I'm wondering the issue is...it loads the first time, but if I try it again, it will turn the screen landscape and then go back to portrait. Glad to know I can try it out on the Infinity when I get it.
Can it be the openGL driver? Sounds like the problem i have with Sygic navigation. Screen goes black on heavy 3d zooming.
I've found out that a reboot actually might help when experiencing problems with games (not sure why yet).
I'm having trouble with the simple games, too : Words with friends & draw something. They crash instantly every time.
Are game issues another victim of the terrible i/o problem or is this something else?

I have the same problem with Words w/ Friends, even after un-installing and re-installing a couple of times. Before I can even start the game I get a 'sorry need to close' message or something like that.

I've heard similar problems from people over in the Android Central forums. Words with Friends and Draw Something don't work for some reason...
After rooting and changing scheduler to sio I no longer seem to have problem with games crashing all the time. The difference in all around performance is huge, the tablet is finally really responsive.

It seems it's just the tablet version of Words. I sideloaded my TiBu backup from my phone and it works fine (portrait mode only of course).

Google Maps issues

I absolutely can't use Google Maps for some reason. It closes without any sort of reason while just using it normally. I tried to look up an address and then zoomed out, it went blank and then just closes. No dialog boxes, nothing. I'm not sure what is causing the issue, but I can't use it.

They're similar, but not the same. Kind of strange that Maps doesn't work though, that's a pre-loaded, Google app.
EDIT: Just tried to uninstall all the updates, no dice. Still not working. Weird, as I used it when I first got my tablet just fine. Maybe something in the .26 update broke it...
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
It has to be something from an update since I'm still on .21 and have no problems with it. If someone on .22 could check if their Google Maps works, maybe we could see where it first becomes an issue.
I'll try as well when I update to .22
I had no problem right out of the box.
I manually updated to .26 and again no problem

Rooted but locked
OTA updated to 26 and map is working fine, pretty fast zoom in and out.
Go to applications and clear data / cache on google maps and then force stop. Restart tablet and try opening google maps.

I just check and Google maps seems to be working fine for me as well (on .26 also). I searched for an address and then zoomed out and back in and back out, etc - didn't notice any issues.
I'm rooted & unlocked if that matters...

Have you tried a cold boot? My maps seem to be working fine but I've had some problems with not being able to zoom in close enough to see streets and use street view. But then I tried on my phone and had the same issue. Must be something with the new Maps update.

Ok... maybe a rogue app causing problems? If it worked before and it doesn't now maybe something that was introduced into your tablet is messing with it.
Or possibly modified settings? Sorry your having issues. Hopefully the next firmware update solves it for you.

Maybe, I'll wait till the custom roms mature a bit and see what a fresh install can do.
Just updated to .26 last night and tested. Can't replicate your issue. Can you verify that the GPS is functional via a testing app like GPS Test or GPS Toolbox?

Audio delay over Bluetooth headset

I have, for some time, regularly watched TV shows during workouts on an iPad using BT headsets to avoid the bouncing cable.
I recently switched to using my TF700 for this but there is a noticeable lag between lip movements and spoken words reaching my ears that is *not* an issue on the iPad.
So is this an Android issue or specific to TF700?
Is there any way to fix it?
This is using Google's Movie Play app with purchased content.

no this only nvidia chips set i have the samsung galaxy 3 and the tablet 2 android 4.04 no problem running snap dragon and texas chip set no problem i am taking mine back next week
Ok, so I kept reading about this bluetooth lag and how some are saying that it's an Nvidia problem, so I tested with both my TF700 and my Nexus 7 using the same apps (tried both DicePlayer and the Play Movies app) and found that the issue is *not* Nvidia, since there is no bluetooth lag on the Nexus 7, which also uses Tegra 3. I get the lag from both apps going to the same bluetooth device on the TF700, but no lag on the same bluetooth device on my Nexus 7.
So, it obviously a *software* issue that can be resolved (and hopefully will be).

I too have updated to JB and am experiencing BT audio lag on both a set of stereo speakers and an ear peice on everything except the you tube app. Games, DLNA movies, Netflix and local movies all lag. I was extremely happy with my Infinity until this. Now I just want to send it back to Amazon.
Is there absolutely no fix for this?
Well, I'm glad I didn't wait for the JB update to return mine. Now if only the PadPhone 2 had a keyboard and no BT audio lag!
For now I'm stuck with an iPad 2 for movies. Works well, but zero tinker factor.
SOLUTION for VLC player
SOLUTION. In VLC go to preferences >audio output>audio track native
Completely exit VNC a launch it again.
No lag muhehe...
(this was done on Nexus 7
the link goes nowhere.

Netflix App Updated - much smoother in the Infinity now

I just updated the latest version of Netflix released a few days ago saw a noticeable in increase in usability/smoothness. Has anyone else noticed this with the latest version? Prior to this update it was very choppy and slow to use, but now it is at least bearable.
Note: I do have "Force GPU Rendering" enabled under Developer Options, but I've had that enabled the whole time (with the previous version as well)

Same here, I even disabled "Force GPU Rendering" and its working great. I had to launch the app a couple of times and after which its smooth as butter. :good:

I have it running on my xbox if its running on the 5ghz connection. I would guess that not having that option on the infinity is why we won't see 1080p.
I notice they took out the giant Play button from the centre of the screen when paused. I used to really like that, but I can see why they moved it.

Happens immediately. Tried using Force GPU Rendering, changing wifi settings, reinstalling, and all combinations in between. It just refuses to sync. Video is always a split second behind. I never really have time to watch anything anyway, but, it would be nice for it to actually work when I want.

Are you using any 3rd party volume or sound enhancers from the Play Store, such as Volume+ or Equalizer? If so, try disabling them.
Also does this happen with Youtube?

Games started to flicker...

Hey guys,
I guess my infinity has a serious problem. Today I was playing TW Battles suddenly screen started to flicker.I was able to touch the screen and give commands but screen didnt change. Then i tried Dead Trigger,it happened again. I shut it down and opened then played for a while (like one hour) it started to flicker again. After that I cleared all tasks from Asus Task Manager except the game, I was able to play then.Anyone has the same issue? Can it be repaired by firmware update or is it a hardware issue? Any advice to solve?
By the way my infinity is unrooted and C70 serie.

Mines been doing the same thing. Every few days I clear the cache and it temporarily fixes it.
Thanks for the reply but how can i clear the cache and by clearing it would i lose any data from apps or games?

This is a known issue. It originates from the NVIDIA driver. It is rumoured to be fixed in the upcoming JellyBean update.
For now have a look at this workaround: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31177808&postcount=8
So, the only solution is clearing the ram before starting a game?
Is there a app that keeps the free ram at the same level?

That is a really good question. If an app could just clear out all apps, like advanced task manager, and then free up all the ram, that could be used before running a game in the meantime. Does something like that exist?

There are many memory cleaners, I use this workaround: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...08&postcount=8.
Cleaners cannot "reconstruct" fragmented memory, only a reboot will do that. The real solution would be for ASUS to update the (already fixed) nvidia driver(s) to fix the NvRmChannelSubmit failed errors.
