So I just got the TF300 and the first thing I dd was install the JB update and been noticing that is very laggy and slow. But that was quickly resolved by a factory reset and when wiping dilvik/cache (at least i hope) and now seems to response much better.
The issue now i have is whenever i use utorrent the tablet becomes unusable and the fix for that was to use a SD Card which also worked and everything was working the way it should, it was very responsive and the torrent was downloading quickly, but as soon as the screen timed out it would not wake up again or sometimes took forever.
sometimes the screen came back after 3 minutes and other times it required a reboot, this is an issue only when utorrent is downloading a torrent and does not happen if its just open. I have not seen this happen randomly like others have experienced just only with utorrent downloading.
Any inputs or suggestions?
Have you guys tried with a different torrent app?
you could try is this new-5-star app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5BbmRyb2lkQS5Ecm9pRG93bmxvYWRlciJd
try it to see if the problem persists
and can you answer my question, please: you just got your tf300, so after you turn it on the first time, what firmware version was it? did you have to update to ICS .30 and then update to JB or did you just update straight to JB? in other words, how many updates did you do to get JB? 1 or 2?
i'm asking because last time with my returned tf300 i had to do to updates (from .26 out of the box to .30, then JB), i got my replacement today but haven't turned on yet (i'm leaving it charging 8 hours as the manual suggests), i'm not sure what firmware will it update to when i turn it on, since i don't want jelly bean this is what i really need to care about

Do you have a fast internet connection? The problem you had with the slowness while downloading to the internal memory is because of bad I/O performance from ASUS, writing and reading on to and from to the internal memory kinda sucks compare to other devices. So directing your downloads to your external sd card was a good idea .
+1 for Adownloader, I have always used that app for torrents, hasn't failed me so far.
Yeah i heard about Adownloader but been a fan of utorrent for as long as i can remember and it works flawless on my S3, but will try aDownloader.
@nooktablet
It was ICS and just had one update to get it too JB.
aDownloader is the same
Do you have keep wifi on during sleep? It is posible that this is causing the sleep of death somehow, apps running on the background. My NookColor used to have a lot of sleep of deaths before I turned the wifi off after each use. But if you turn it off it will defeat the purpose of downloading torrents while screen is off. As far as you can tell it only happens when you are downloading torrents? Also check on settings "ASUS customize setting" and make sure that "Disconnect network during sleep" is not ticked. Another thing you can try is setting up screen saver with a completely black image, so it will use the least battery possible.
Anyways I never use automatic screen timeout I have it on never so I really haven't experienced this problem. If nothing else works, my suggestion is don't let the screen timeout while downloading torrents. Also try reporting the error to ASUS so they added to the list of future fixes.
downloading torrents make your tablet slow even with fast internet.
Just deal with it... or download them from your computer and xfer them over to your tablet.

Under the Asus Custom settings that was already off, but I changed the wifi sleep policy to always on yesterday so you maybe on to something. I will have to test when oi get a chance.

My Optimus 3D has suddenly developed some serious problems and I have no idea what is going on.
First indication was Power Off refused to work, it would blank the screen but the backlight and capacitive button light would remain on forever. So I have had to force off by holding the power button.
After doing this a few times its now taking AGES to finish bootup and most of the widgets are working sporadically. One minute they will be working, the next they won't and might respond to a touch half an hour later. Yet, a few of them still work fine. I have tested using LG Home as well as Launcher Pro, the same problem occurs on both.
Worst problem of all though is typing has stopped working. First time it did it I simply rebooted and it worked again, but its stopped functioning again and rebooting every day is unacceptable when it was fine before.
Basically any text input form I press, the keyboard pops up and I start typing, but the text doesn't go into the text input field. This is with any keyboard selected.
This is really frustrating as prior to these problems I was really loving this phone and hardly ever had to reboot it.
It seems it all started after something caused the phone to reboot itself in the night (the bootup jingle woke me but I was too tired to check) and then I think it locked up during the reboot as battery monitor widget shows no log entries after the reboot, just the battery suddenly at 100% again as I charged it before powering it back up the next day.
I would prefer to know how to fix it in case it happens again but if I am forced to restore to factory settings, any advise for what and how to backup what is on there so I have minimal work to get it back to this state (hopefully without the glitches)?
I have had both internal and external SD mounted over Mass Storage and done an error check from Windows on them which found no errors, as I suspected it was corruption on internal SD but clearly not.
The weird thing is, other than the above the phone works fine - but its fairly useless when I can't type on it and I am concerned the widgets hanging is degrading the battery life.
Flash a clean stock rom and see if it fixes it

I actually figured out what is wrong and its bizarre. It was my router!
Basically I upgraded DD-WRT to the latest version (which has since been taken offline so obviously buggy) and it caused all the above symptoms. The instant I disconnected from WiFi all events which were meant to happen suddenly happened all at the same time, then everything was back to normal. Connect to WiFi and it hangs again.
I have no idea how a bug on my router can cause such a wide variety of problems but there you go. Downgraded the router back to the previous firmware and all is well again.
I briefly had the "no text input" error happening after i removed some bloatware with root explorer. It was really starting to irritate me but when i turned the phone on it's side it worked again and has never stuffed up since!
Just thought I'd share my experience.

Well unfortunately I was wrong, problem started again today and I even tested at a friends house. Basically, when connected to WiFi my phone goes AWOL with widgets hanging and text input randomly stopping working.
Earlier to search marketplace I had to disconnect from WiFi, type the search string, reconnect, purchase, disconnect (it refused to download) and use HSDPA instead. This is really frustrating as I'm about to get 40Mbit broadband which is going to suck being forced to use T-Slowbiles pathetic 1Mbit HSDPA to download instead. Perhaps not the end of the world, but its really really weird.
Ok so here's my problem. I remotely installed an app to my tranformer from my laptop and it installed successfully but when i went to check up on the install my tablet started acting wierd and many apps stopped responding. i just fc the apps and noticed my transformer was fast. Too fast as in whenever i started an app it would start right after i touched it. Also whenever i was on the home screen and i touched anywhere on the screen it would instantly register as a long-hold touch. Anyone run into this issue? Very wierd. Tried powering off the tablet which worked but waiting a couple minutes first be4 turning it on. The loading circle beside the powering off text literally spun around 50 times extremely quickly withing the first second.
Have you removed whatever app it was you installed?
What's the problems? Everyone around here would kill to get a fast as heck TF.

Maybe he managed to OC it to like 4Ghz/core ?
No, but I agree. Apart from the clicking issue it sounds like your TF is what everyone wants their to be
More information would be needed, what was the application you installed? What rom you are using? ICS or honeycomb? Overclocked?
Put it in a microwave. That should slow it back down.
The title pretty much says it all...
I'm using a HTC Sensation XE.
When I download / update apps through Google Play and my screen times out and turns off - the downloads stop. Sometimes the downloads won't resume once I turn my screen back on.
This doesn't happen on any of my other Android devices and was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? It is annoying because I have to keep the phone awake if I am updating a few apps at a time.
This has always happened with this phone, before and after root. I realise I could extend my display sleep time, but would like it to work like my other devices.
Cheers
Did you set your "Keep WIFI on during sleep" as "Never" or "Only when plug in", if so, when screen timeout, wifi will be turned off.
Yes, can be the wifi automatically turned off... but in this case the 3G/Edge take the connexion... I am wrong ?
Thanks for the replies.
The 'keep WiFi on during sleep' is and always has been enabled. This is only a minor annoyance really as I only have to manually keep the screen on for a short time while the apps update. Just thought its strange and maybe other had the same problem.

Maybe the screen must be turned on to GooglePlay starts downloading the applications, and then continues when the screen turns off... (When you install apps directly from https://play.google.com/store)
But can't start directly if the screen is off ?
I gonna test that maybe this afternoon... Installing apps in GooglePlay or on https://play.google.com/store...

+1 It is same with me I am with Viperss rom 1.1.0 and in tewaks i disable htc smartsynch and keep wifi always and when screen turn off app stop downloading
I have a sensation 4G, don't think that would really make a difference, but that doesn't happen to me. ICS? by any chance did you set a data limit then check "disable background data"? If so, that might be it.
ThisBeMySignatureMatieee!
+1 to revive this thread...though I have a Droid4 running ICS, I experience the same exact issue. Hitting update all works if I keep the screen on the entire time, but the second the screen times out, all downloads cease and just sit there with endless progress bars until I stop and restart them. This is using mobile data, plugged in, without wifi even turned on. I feel this must be a bug with the Play Store itself as it's happening across devices and roms.
same problem here on Samsung Galaxy S Plus, every rom every kernel... is there a solution?
Has anybody else got a problem with responsiveness of their watch when the phone is asleep?
I have this consistently on my Nexus 4, with different ROMs and different kernels.
I'm guessing it might be due to the phone kernel going in to a deep sleep, I've yet to try if the problem exists with the stock kernel.
Is your SW2 always responsive, whether the phone is on or off?
Or does yours also fail to load apps or register watchface widget clicks at times?
Which version of android are you running? I had this problem at the beginning but got solved after an update. Now for me works better but sometimes needs longer than others...
During that time I used an app which worked very well to solve the problem, but at the same time killed the smartphone battery as it keeped it always alive. I can search which was the app if you want...
Has anyone experienced your U11+ freezing up.
It has happened to me about 3 times.
It generally happens over night while it's charging. I get up one of those mornings and the green light is on, remove the charging cable and I can't wake up the phone. I can't even turn off the phone by pressing and holding the power button to kill the device. The only way is to put it into download mode by simultaneously holding down the vol down key and power key, and then when the menu comes up to select the reboot option to get the phone back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what could be causing this to happen?
The problem is that I use my phone as my alarm clock, and when it freezes up, my alarm doesn't work.
Any suggestions anyone?
No problem like that until now.
However, noticed sometimes that the my alarm, which is setup for vibration only, only vibrates once and then continues silently alarming until I turn it off.
Happens randomly but still strange. I've to try with another clock app.
That's really odd.
I'm going to turn off the always - on feature and see if I get anymore freezes. I had another one this afternoon.
I'll report back after some time and let you know if there has been no more freezes.
I'm just updating to the latest update 1.23.709.3 and see also how it performs.
I'm a bit concerned about this random freezing that I have experienced since I got this device.
If it persists I may ask for a new one.

I'm still on the October security patch so I'm expecting one for the December period soon I hope.
In regards to your freezes I've not encountered anything like that so far been working flawlessly so far if there is anything I can test let me know
I have the Taiwan version.
If you could try the always-on feature for a couple of days and nights and report back, that would be awesome. However, I selected the option, for always-on to only come on when I moved the phone. (good for night time use especially)
I had my phone in the pocket yesterday afternoon and it froze.
As I stated earlier, I can only restart the phone only by putting it into download mode and reboot from there.

Thanks for letting me know.
I guess I can rule that feature out as a probable cause.
It must be some other app that's causing this issue. But it's a pain to go through the process of finding out which one.

Yeah trial and error isn't fun. I'd probably factory reset though and see if it happens with barely any third party apps installed.

I have the HK model I think and I had the AOD when I first got it, set to motion and nothing has happened to my phone in regards to freezing fingers crossed. I have disabled it for the moment as I noticed a greater battery usage overall, I believe between 9-10% overnight and only 2% when I had it disabled.
Hopefully you find the problem otherwise see if you can get it replaced...
Since not using the always-on feature, I don't have any more freezes. Must be some conflict with the alarms and always-on. Can't see what else could be causing those freeze ups.
My phone surprisingly just froze up yesterday. But at least it's been a long while since not having the always-on feature enabled. With always-on enabled, it seems to have happened every day.
The issue I have most about this, is missing that important call when I haven't realised that the phone is frozen, because sometimes I don't pick up the phone for hours.
I had to do a complete fresh install from scratch and I have no more issues. I believe all my issues came from using HTC's transfer tool when going from u11 to u11+. Importing all the settings features using the Transfer Tool has caused issues. I'll never use this tool again.
All good now.
