youtube app weirdness

anyone get a problem on the youtube app in the search//browse screen, you click on the thumbnail to watch a video...hit back to go back to the browse screen...and you can't pick a new video to watch?
after a while (dunno what triggers it) but i'd be able to again. but there's a weird period where you can't click on any of the videos. scroll works, and all the other controls work. i just can't click on anther video.

I stopped even using the Youtube app and just started using the desktop site on the tablet.
Sad to say but it's a far more enjoyable experience.

Agreed also after watching a video I can't type in the search until I go back to the home screen...

yeah i've read that on other forums, apparently its not an issue just for the tf but other android devices. some were saying it was an issue with youtube.
that problem has happened a few times already. only choice is to wait and see.

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.

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.

Sluggish performance

So i just got my new pad and have been playing with it, closing,opening apps, and web browsing. I have found the tablet to be sluggish opening apps or responding to keyboard input in chrome. I didnt recieve any update when i first turned it on. Is there anything i can do?

What software version are you running? Did you click on check for update in the about section?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

You are not on Power Saving mode, are you?
Power Saving mode saves battery but makes whole process stutter especially opening application you can see frames stutter and wish you had Buttery smooth Jelly bean there. But on balanced mode, I don't notice any and not sure if Jelly bean would do anything there... as it is already so smooth.
But as far as browser, if you have many applications running behind that may cause keyboard input delay. If not, recommend Cold reboot.

No matter what might go wrong in life the absolute very first thing I wish for is buttery smooth jelly bean. Just last week I was complaining about the price of gas and it made me wish for buttery smooth jelly bean.

I made sure im in high performance mode and checked the updates. Im running build # 9.4.5.22 with android version 4.0.3.its just discouraging since my galaxy nexus is so smooth. Im hoping a good rom comes out soon

I have the same problem as you as well as others. I'm on the updated firmware and am incredibly disappointed. I've been supporting Android since it was first released and absolutely love my Nexus phone. I've had a few Android tabs and they have all been lacking. I finally did something I swore that I would never do and used an iPad. I really didn't like it except that it operated so smooth and didn't crash. I ran out and bought this tab as I hoped it would work better so I could ditch the iPad. Unfortunately, my infinity lags when loading pages and Gmail, crashes when watching movies and Gmail, and refuses to open desktop version of websites. I am going to wipe and reload one more time and if it doesn't work, I will have to send it back. I really really want this tab to work.

You want to update to .26, tablet is so much better after update

Huh, after updating I thought this was the only non_lag android tablet I've used besides the Nexus 7 which is even faster. I've also not had force closes and the Primes browsing was ruined by that. Of course it has other issues because that's how Asus rolls.

no. mine came with .21 and i wasn't getting .26 OTA. you download it from the ASUS site, unzip it and put the resultant zip on the root of an sdcard. slot the sdcard in and you'll get an item in notification that there's an update available. bam.
search the forum for detailed instructions.
THAT SAID - although .26 is MUCH better than .21 IME, i still have performance issues with the 700. not so much that it's sluggish - but that the digitizer just stops accepting input periodically. it's definitely a software problem and it's definitely frustrating. haven't sussed out any culprits yet.
doody.

Apparently, dolphin is a bigger botnet than chrome. And that's saying something.

By botnet do you mean the tracking? I mean, we are on Android, it exists for Google to increase their ad information capabilities. It is what it is.
I don't use their sync service, and I don't like their regular browser at all but the new Dolphin beta is pretty amazing. It might be the fastest mobile browser I've ever tried.

Netflix option to play on Google TV

Just curious if anyone else has seen the option menu in Netflix to "Play on Google TV" when selecting a movie. I can't actually get it to play on my Google TV, it just spins a while and then says the device is no longer on the network. Still, I'm curious if anyone else has seen the feature show up, and if anyone has gotten it to work.

Yes, I get this option.
I've never got it to work from the tab, but it works from my GNex...

I have never had it work for me either. Same results as you. I have two Revue Google TV units, and tried disabling one, just to see if it would recognize it but nothing. The YouTube app works beautifully for this same kind of transfer, so it seems that it must be an app issue with Netflix, or perhaps it just works with other varieties of Google TV, but no the Revue. Strange that it has gone on for several months without more attention.

On my GNex, the Android/Google TV option appears only when the phone is connected to the charger, and on WiFi to the local LAN. It looks like Netflix wisely is protecting us from unnecessary battery drain during extended operaitons.

Interesting. When you say it works, do you mean you actually plays to your Google TV? I'm using a Revue, with a VZW GN, which is on OS 4.2.1
UPDATE: After more experimenting, I found that I was wrong in my earlier comment that the option displays only with the charger attached. It just does it sometimes, and sometimes not - I don't know what makes the difference. In any case, even when the option appears, and I select Google TV, it doesn't successfully direct video to it.

GNex lets me select GoogleTV and watch on the Revue.
Infinity lets me select GoogleTV, but it never actually starts playing...

Cool. But why would you do this if you already have netflix onc your google tv. Its just tying up you phone IMO.

Not really. At least if it works similar to the YouTube app. You don't really tie up the phone - you just are telling Google TV what programming to play, but the program data stream isn't through the phone. You have the convenience of navigating on your phone or tablet to find what you want to play. The Netlix version isn't workng for me, but I use the YouTube version all of the time. It's hugely convenient. I can trigger off a program, then exit the app and do whatever on it until I want to change the program/

It sounds google play mean it is for android market google play App Store but have not seen play on googole tv because Im aware that apple has Apple TV. I may be overlooking if google has its own tv but beleive it is intending for android devices

Sound Issues

Hey All,
I'm new to this tablet but not Android. I did search but didn't find much.
While watching videos, the sound drops every couple of minutes for 5 or so seconds. I have tried the stock player, MX player and RockPlayer2. Ive tried hardware and software decoding. All of them act the same. These are .mp4 videos that play fine on my Note2.
I am unrooted and stock, although I was planning on rooting.
Any ideas of how to fix this?
Thanks!

No, I've never heard of nor encountered this issue.
Try shutting everything else that's running in the background down. Games, browsers and the like. (Under settings --> Apps --> Running)

Maybe it happens when something triggers the notification sound? Like email or something. Maybe the system lessens the sound in anticipation of the notification sound activating regardless of whether it was muted or set to the lowest setting. Just a thought.

Check to see if you have mail checking going on in the background. When I changed to manual checking rather than push mail or scheduled polling, I stopped seeing the issue. If it isn't mail, see if you have a newsreader or something similar running.
