I will have my new TF300... advice? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there (sorry for my english)
After my Nexus 7 (returning because of the screen lift and touch problem) and the return of my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" (don't like this tablet) i will have in few days the Asus Transformer TF300.
I've read few post here about problem with the update to Jellybean. But does this update is official? I mean, when i turn on the tablet, does this one indicate me that a update is available and start downloading JellyBean?
I like JB (from the Nexus 7), but the problem that the tablet don't wakeup after sleep or the random reboot... What to do with that?
I don't have the keybord, i've just buy the tablet itself.
Thanks!

yes its official and it is buggy as hell, avoid upgrading and wait for a more stable one

Holly sh#t... even if i don't have the keyboard? I've read many problem with the keyboard... but i will not have this one... so with the tablet itself JB still buggy?!?!?
Does a rom of JB is more stable? I don't care to don't have a official rom... i.ve rooted my galaxy soooo many time, i'm not affraid... but if you know a stable rom to flash my (future) TF300...

Not sure where you come up with this.. Sure there are some bugs but I have yet to find any more bugs than were already in ics. That's just me though.

What i've read, and what came the most of time, is the lost of WiFi (need to power off and reboot), the «sleep of death» and the random reboot.
Please, does it's real of not?

jb is fine for me with or without the dock, its just as stable as ics

JB is stable.
It has some bugs but ics also had bugs. I also dont have the dock and JB is better than ics on ly tf300

So far it's just rumors and speculation at this point. There is no evidence from anyone that they've actually been updated to 4.1 at all.

It's not out yet. Conjecture from a few 3rd rate news sources.

Everyone at this point should have the 4.0.1 update, as it's just an improvement to 4.0. The 4.1 update though hasn't actually rolled out yet though for thee TF700. 4.1 is Jellybean, and should be here within the next week.

I don't know about shipped. I just got mine from Best Buy earlier this week, and it booted up with 4.0.1, admittedly it asked me to update almost immediately after connecting the wireless.....
Mine came with 4.01 and immediately upgraded to 4.03 after the first boot up.

Go to settings - about tablet at the bottom - all info is there. If your android version is anything other than 4.1.1 then that would be why you're getting tagged for the update.

Are you wanting to root your tablet? If so, stay on ICS.
I would hold out.

Personally I would stick with ICS for now. I updated my girlfriends tablet to JB and now the backspace on her dock works intermittently.

If you're up for unlocking the thing, then you can try one of the JB ROMs with the option to return to ICS (even stock ICS) later. I've been running JB since July on AOKP or BAKED BlackBean and love it. Both of those boot with the ICS bootloader so you're able to swap back and forth.
I am also in the same boat I'm on 4.0.3 and just got the update notification. I had updated as soon as I got my tablet but I guess that turn out to be the minor update. Now knowing that I am still on ICS. I was curious to know where I can get information about Rooting my tablet. Also if I am on ICS do I need to unlock the bootloaders?

Look in the Dev section for the debugfs method. This method does not require unlocking. This method only works on ICS.

Yea I think I'm going to stick with ics for the time being, is there anyway to stop the firmware update message from popping out or disable it entirely as I would certainly hate to press the install button by mistake when I'm drunk or something lol

Jelly Bean -Early October

Hey guys,
Just wanted to give you all an update on the jelly bean upgrade for our devices.
I contacted Asus about Jelly Bean on our Tf700's; here is their response.
Dear valued customer
Thank you for contacting ASUS Technical Service
Hi,I have asked the superior that the JB of your unit will be released in early October any you can download it manually from the website or it will update automatically.
Welcome to refer Troubleshooting & FAQ for ASUS products in ASUS
website:

If you have any problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Wish you a nice day!

That doesn't seem like it was written by someone who speaks English. What does "I have asked the superior that the JB of your unit will be released in early October" mean?

It's Asus support, I am surprised that they can speak any English.

Since ASUS is a Taiwanese company and since the bulk of their development and support is non-US based that makes it sound much more likely to be authentic to me. If it was perfect English it'd probably be BS unless it came from Gary (their local US support person who occasionally posts on XDA).
Nothing wrong with not speaking English natively. And it's really not that hard to interpret that he's trying to say the target for JB is early October.

October... Did this year?
What would it be useful to prepare and deploy the .30 ICS version if they are doing the same for Jelly Bean 10 days later ? I don't believe it's true and if it appears i'm wrong (i hope so) then i just don't understand Asus organization.

I think someone mentioned in another thread that the bootloader was updated in .30, possibly in preparation for JB.

If you consider that it changed the bootloader, the .30 update could be considered an important precursor to the JB update. I actually took the .30 update as a sign that the JB countdown for the Infinity has started (i.e. 1st phase of the release plan).
I certainly hope so!

But then why not just include the new bootloader directly in the JB release? Why would they need to release the bootloader in ICS first? I mean if I upgraded directly from .26 to JB, then they must still include the new bootloader in JB anyway, right?
I tend to agree that I don't see the point in putting work into and releasing an ICS update if JB is literally going to be released in the next two or three weeks...

I've come from a Motorola Xoom which got updated to JB just before I sold it to fund the purchase of my new Infinity. A few weeks before the BIG update there was a smaller one which updated the bootloader and a few other things. The subsequent transition was therefore smoother although a fairly large download - there were new GAPPS to consider! The result was a machine that went from great to wonderful to amazing.
I guess the .30 update, which I believe has taken the Infinity from good to better , may eventually lead us to the amazing tablet we were led to believe we had purchased!

Exactly. Since JB will include a kernel update, it makes sense to me to separate the bootloader update from the kernel update. Time, size and risk mitigation. This is why I think that it is part of the larger release plan.
Well your comment "the new bootloader of .30 firmware is a prerequisite for the JB kernel" seems to me to be a fine and logic reason for that ICS update before the JB update. It's nearly convincing me that you're right and that i was wrong in my previous post.
Time will say ....

[Q] Unlocked, Trwped and looking for a rom to run

Greetings, I recently unlocked and will be rooting my wife's Asus tf300. Main reason being it seemed to running slow and jerky considering the specs. It was on 4.2.1, it's now unlocked, and has twrp 2.5 installed. I'm looking for some suggestions for some roms which are fast, light and as close to bugless as possible. Thanks in advance =)

no mate its just for the tf300t but there is a grimlock that was made for the tf300tg and cromi has a kernel for the tf300tg too so did you pick the right ones?

I managed to install the roms; however:
-Grimlock disconnects from wifi every 15-20 seconds - it's not that the wifi radio turns off, it just loses connection and attempting to reconnect gives me a Failed. Turning off wifi radio and turning it back on gives me connection for another 15-20 seconds.
-Xenogenesis seems to take the crazy-screen problem up to 11: I get rapid-fire random inputs in the webcam side of the device for no reason, with no real way to get it back to normal. This occurs both with thatkernelv3 and 10.6.2.3 TG kernel.
Yesterday, I flashed stock 10.6.2.6 and although it still has crazy-screen, it's defeatable by just locking the device and unlocking it again. And Wifi stays connected!

Yea man, those are some funky problems. That's the first I heard of any screen glitch and hundreds upon hundreds of people are running CROMI.
I've also never heard of the wifi issues on GRIMLOCK from the like 5 people that use it lol. Did you try the newest 1.3.1 version?
