The device came pre installed with the. 26 update. The "touch panel version" model number is different! They upgraded it! And wow is it snappier! The serial numbers for the US versions have changed as well. It use to start as C6OKA. Now it's C8OKA. Lastly, the beveled edges around the screen is more uniformed and perfectly symmetrical. No snapping, clicking, or loose glass. I put it side to side and you notice the difference immediately.
I just wish I had the balls to open it up to see if they changed any of the hardware inside. The GUI just has a smoother feel to it. I can't put my finger on it. I'm going to let it charge up and then download my apps. My hope is the I/O has improved as well.

How is the Infinity stacking up on RL Benchmark? Never used it. I usually use AnTutu and Quadrant.
any issues with Google Currents of Google+? If you use them.
Wouldnt get to excited, Ive had 4 replacements so far and 3 were the c80 numbers. Still have light bleed, still have separating glass that also clicks/creeks, still had bad volume rocker.
But its not all bad at least you got a good one!

I have a C8 Serial number, and use both Google + and Google Currents without event. In fact, the only app that seems to consistently fail on my device is Words with Friends.

I have a transformer that was bought first week of august and it has C8OKA as serial number. I dont have any hardware issues, but i do have some lag issues but since i did factory wipe, i had no random reboots
Lag is my only issue
Dont come to xda for english lessons not to mention there is far worse in here. But here is an example of other c80s with problems
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31268115
Just received another by ups at 5:30, light bleed lower left hand side but not terrible, the plastic strip on back not fully attached also not terrible but can feel it when touched and antutu only giving me 12500 scores on performance mode (all previous tf700s got 13500+).
Looks like Ill be making another go of the tf700 lottery game, wish I was as lucky as you.

C8's are August manufactured Transformer Infinity's hence the 8 for August.
C7's were July made, my TFI is a C7.
C6 were June Transformer Infinity's, these were the first month launch Infinity's.
and then there's the C5 rare pre-release Infinity's mostly released to tech reviews, and publishers in May.
C5's were also synonymous with the last batch of Transformer Prime's before ASUS discontinued it. C5's don't have any of the hardware problems the previous TFP's had.
OP, can u post some pics of these new fixes
My unit starts with C70KA and it works great and has from the start. No issues with my unit and it also is very snappy. Looking forward to Jelly Bean though as it will only make my unit better.

Yeah, I would love to see comparison of the physical changes that you mention... I've seen C6's and C8's and never seen any difference (at least physically)...
EDIT: By the way, I just ran an RL Benchmark on both my Infinity (running Zeus 4.0) and my Nexus 7 (running stock) - check this out:
- Nexus 7: 46.202
- Infinity: 20.514
Not sure what exact Zeus is doing but that is awesome! My guess is that he's caching the SQL writes or something like that...

i did have the same question, but i guess it has more to do with the fact that transformer has 2 batteries instead of one
I first thought that the problem was the missing dock? Basically the system has to report on 2 batteries. And the OS is customized to expect 2 batteries, but as far as I understand, even when you attach the dock, the result is still the same?
Anyone with a dock, can you confirm?

Nope. I never claimed that. On the XOOM you get all these details but ASUS is apparently still working on the implementation.
Got my Infinity yesterday - loving it so far. I was worried after all the negativity on the forums over the last few weeks, but I couldn't be happier.
My one issue is with the brightness of the screen. I know some people have taken issue with the auto-dimming feature. I have the complete opposite problem - I can't adjust the brightness of my screen! Moving from balanced to power saving to performance makes no difference. Turning on Super IPS? No difference.
Am I doing something bone-headed? Anyone else have this problem?

Your issue more than likely will not be solved on the forums anytime soon. Amazon is very good at exchanging defective items usually shipping it the next day. Your stressing over this to much, and you don't have to. It cost you nothing to exchange the tablet.

Same thing
Just wanted to let you know I'm having the same problem. I've tried a factory restore as well still no brightness control. Thing that sucks is I returned my prime for a screen defect, now I get a faulty infinity. I'm beginning to question asus quality at this point and starting to think about perhaps getting a Google nexus 7 even with its limitations.

Either way, defects will happen. Send it to back and Amazon will make it right -- it's worth the two days. I've had none of the problems that people are describing with their Infinitys
Good point cinco5 ugh. I forgot they manufactured it. They are at 2strikes, I guess I'll give them 3.
I am noticing an issue with a screen flicker in some applications with a line drawing across the screen for a split second. It occurs most when using rdp apps but just saw it happen while typing this post. it's about 3/4 of the way up the screen when in landscape. Usually a black line that disappears quickly, like a graphics corruption issue. Already did a factory reset, saw the same thing on another tf700... anyone else?

Was printed already its only good for 7 days by the time it gets here will be no good. Figures. Would rather find a way to fix it maybe ill try a reflash like you mentioned.

I got a random reboot today whilst going through the painful experience of browsing with this tablet. It took about 5 minutes or more to start up again and when it did, the system UI kept crashing which made the tablet hard to use as the message kept popping up. Thereafter, when i tried to reboot using the power settings, it froze. Very frustrating. I was able to sort it by holding the power button to turn it off and then turning it back on. It seems to work fine for now but it's something that shouldn't be happening. I'm stock and unrooted

This was driving me crazy until i realized that every time it rebooted automatic updates were running. Not sure how this happened, maybe corruption caused by play updates running when android updated. Uninstalling the 4 perpetually updating apps and reinstalling seems to have corrected the problem (or it's a lucky coincidence).
I was also having wireless dropouts, not sure how that would be related to updates but seems to have stopped now, possibly the updating process was spinning or using some other resource. I definitely recommend disabling auto updates and seeing if that helps.

Thanks! I've been lurking in the forums waiting for this. I'm just divided as to whether I should wait and see how it goes for others, or just download the update and see for myself. Not because I'm afraid of bricking (locked & unrooted here) but because 4.2 did have some issues initially on other platforms...
Anyhoo - thanks ASUS!

I don't think you should be fearing that much about bricking your device. There are a few unlucky people brick their devices every time there's an update.
I wouldn't flash the update on an unlocked device. That is how some TF300 users bricked their devices. Wait for Asus to put up the full rom.
I'm just going to wait. Mainly because a lot of apps aren't 4.2 optimized yet. I'm not afraid of bricking since i'm full stock, but I always have bad luck with updates of all sort.

Does anybody know how to get that nexus 10 style launcher
Ok - one change I noticed, is the cold boot screen. I can't get it to cold boot. Anyone figure it out?

Actually i could get into cold boot screen. Only thing is that it vibrates twice before getting into the cold boot menu and that there are only 3 option on the cold boot screen.

How is the 4.2 running compares to 4.1? faster, smoother, no change??
I've noticed the "recent apps" function has changed. Instead of a vertical row on the left side of the tablet, you now get a full screen, horizontal look, of your recent apps. Will take some time getting use too.
On the cold boot screen. I believe you now how to manually start the cold boot (by highlighting the android icon) then pressing up on your volume key.
Lastly, I get an annoying warning about my sound being dangerous if to high, when I try to raise the volume. Anyway to disable that?

I got a notice that the system update was downloading, I waited then got a screen that said do I want to install, I tapped "install" and the screen said "Powering Off". Its been off for about 20 minutes and won't restart.
Any thoughts?
On edit,
Now its restarted and it's downloading the system update file again.
Its doing the same thing, checked system integrity and then powering off but this time it looks like 4.2 is installing.
One minor thing I've noticed is that the inexpensive 3rd party charger I bought off Amazon now no longer registers as charging (although my 3rd party battery app does, indeed, show that the unit is charging). That's an annoyance, albeit minor.
Unless the new tablet version is extremely different than the phone version, Asus is no longer using the stock camera app. So no photosphere.
Also, no quick camera access from the lock screen, not that I'm using the tablet often to take quick pictures.

Is there a stock Android cam apk with Photosphere we can download that works with the Infinity, and does it mess up the ASUS camera?
