I''m just now installing JB. It didn't seem to run as smoothly as I expected so I''ve done a complete factory reset. I'm having a little trouble getting the weather widget to run . It keeps saying there' s no connectivity yet I know my WiFi is up and running . I''m also downloading all my apps, so everything is kind of slow right now. I thing I''ll be using Apex Launcher since the default launcher still doesn't have many features. It also doesn't us all the possible screen real estate.
Looks like I finally got the weather widget set correctly. It took a factory reset but I think a factory reset is the way to go for this new softwear update. I''ll update after all my apps finish downloading.
I didn't factory reset and mine already runs amazing. Not sure if I necessarily see need for it.
Got my factory reset all done and downloaded all my Google Play apps. I'm getting a constant notification that I have a Google Chrome update but everytime it trys to download, I get an error. It says something about "cannot download due to server error.
Everything else seemed to download pretty quickly. I am using Wizz widgets and have noticed that I cannot log in to the Facebook or Twitter wideget unless I have both applications on my tablet and have already logged into them! Not sure that's the way it always worked.
I did install Apex Launcher and it's running pretty smoothly. The only problem is that I cannot get the weather widget to showup after a reboot! I'll need to work on that. I have also noted that some of the app lists don't seem to scroll as smoothly as before or as I would expect. I did have one Apex Launcher crash so far but it recovered pretty quickly.
My TF700's been running JB for only a little while. I"ve shut it down and restarted a couple of times just to see if it gets better. Time will tell. Now to try out Netflix and Hulu+ to see if they work OK.
All is well with my update, I suppose. Had to disable Browser2ram. Kept getting permissions notifications, over and over.
Biggest issue fro me so far: I no longer have a power control widget. What's up with that?

We'll so far everything is working just great. I've looked at a Netflix movie, Hulu+ movie, and viewed a number of YouTube vids and all ran very smoothly. No stuttering or anything. I also noticed that Netflix scrolling is smooth the way it should be. I've ran both the default browser through a number of web sites and haven't experienced a single crash. The same with Boat browser. I finally got Chrome to complete it's update and I'll be giving it a try.
I still can't get the ASUS weather widget to stay on screen visible. Once I put it on my screen and then go to something else, I come back to an empty space. If I try to put something else there, it shows me the outline of the ASUS weather widget but there's nothing visible. Very strange. I've switched to HD widgets for now.
One thing I did notice with Jelly Bean, you can now place widgets from alternate launchers (Apex and Nova) from the widget drawer. You don't have to place them by holding down on a screen.
Everything seems to be smoothing out. I hope this keeps going as well as it has so far.
My wifi isn't as fast anymore, my phone with cm10 on it gets triple the download speeds using speedtest app side by side. My tablet a little bit of lag that it never had before. I did factory reset also.

Didn't have to do a thing. Exemplary execution of the bean. Everything is smoothly operative.
If I run into anything while more deeply into an app I'll report back.
Thank you Asus.
Running great so far. Haven't tested much outside of the browser and come apps. Overall seems way better and smoother. About to stream it up to the tv so hope all goes well there...
So far so good. Only 1 reboot. Restored to factory. Reinstalled all software. A bit disappointed as I was hoping for better I/O performance and quadrant score. Device still sluggish when reading and writing to sd card.
Anyone tried Google Now?
Tried to trigger it after the update. I tried the unlock ring method as well as the press "Back", "Home", or "Recent" buttons with an upward swipe. I get the little google target. It starts for a split second, then I see the small popup at the bottom saying "network error. Check your connection...". The google search screen comes on and that's it.
Not rooted and I haven't done a factory reset yet as everything else seems to be working well and thought I would post here first to see if anyone else is having the issue.
Thanks, Jim
Games seems to be working well. I've never been able to play Nova 3 before it would always freeze and flicker. No longer. Runs well. Trying out MC3 now see if it gives me those known issues with getting disconnected in multiplayer mode.
Update: MC3 no longer disconnects during gameplay on multiplayer. JB has been a welcome change indeed.

Jelly Bean is a little sticky.....
Downloaded JB this morning and really happy to see Google Now, but didn't really see much of a speed improvement. Maybe cause it was fast already with ICS. Two things are a little confusing. I thought that JB was making the stock browser CHROME, well I still have the ICS stock browser and flash works fine. The other thing is that the tablet sometimes freezes at seemingly simply tasks and completely re-boots.
Do you think a factory reset would help?? Or is there a setting I need to tweak??

Hi guys!
I´ve just updated my TF101 to ICS and it´s really fast. But I have a problem with the laucher. Some times, when touch the home button to go to the homescreen, the laucher and all the icons desappear.
I can´t go to the apps that are open (with the multi-task button) but the launcher doesn´t appear.
The only solution I know is shuting down the Tf101 or closing the laucher app, but it is quite boring to do ir every 5 or 10 min.
Does it happen to anyone here?
Happens to me as well.

I only had that if the option to kill tasks as u exit them was checked on. Its under developer options towards the bottom.
Edit: actually that's only the case on my phone. I have the option checked on my tablet and it works just fine.

same here but may be able to narrow it down.
I am having the same problem. The whole screen just displays the wallpaper and removes any icons or buttons. So I can pan sideways and can sometime know what I am clicking on by memory but all icons go until I reboot.
weird thing is.... I have done a factory reset. reloaded my apps and settings. Its all working fine until I pop the Gmail and Calendar widgets on the screen, then boom. Gone again.
At the moment I am running without any widgets and I have not had a repeat. Do any of you clever clogs have any ideas on this one. Seems to be a small percentage of users with the issue.
Same...
I had the same problem however it seems to have stopped now. Perhaps as a result of my app purge that i did the other day.
Anyway for those still having this problem i suggest you use the notification bar to access the settings then from there you can go to the Launcher under apps and do a force close. after a bit it will reopen again with all screen icons and widgets back.
Guys I think this is the same issue, it happens on my tf.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519943
yep
Happens to me too,
I managed to fix it the latest time without rebooting, by going into settings, running apps and stopping the launcher and anything google. Next time this happen I will make a note of which killed process gives me my app icons back.
also its strange that even with the app icons gone, you can still click around the screen and open things, as if they were there.
same ...
same problem on my tf101
I fixed this by clearing the data for the Launcher in settings. Hasn't happened since but annoying as it meant rebuilding my homescreens :-(

you should try Nova Launcher, it looks and acts like the default launcher in ICS. But with a couple functions added. I havent had any troubles with it.
Just search it in the market. to get the widgets to work just move it to /system/app
I installed ICS on mine at the weekend. For a couple of days it reasonably stable, though certain apps lagged somewhat. Then it got much, much worse. There's a recurrent problem with the launcher. If you've gone away from it, such as to use an app, and then return, firstly the widgets and stacked/grouped app icons vanish, then all the rest of the icons vanish, and the three squares on the top right of the screen. The icons are still there, as it's possible to stab on the screen in the right place and launch the app that the invisible icon links to. All five screens of the launcher have vanished. The tablet still runs, as the live wallpaper still runs, and the recent apps are accessible.
Other problems include major freezes or lags. It's common to go to launch email or the web browser only to have to wait 20 seconds or so before anything happens. I've had to wait 5 minutes before now for Opera to launch. Eventually the tablet will freeze and I have to reboot it, but even then, apps take an age to launch, and regularly freeze. It's getting to the point of being totally unusable. It's taken many, many attempts to write this email as the app crashes of its own accord, and perish the thought that I copy and paste any text in, including the email address - it's enough to crash the email app.
My TF101 ran Android 3.2 perfectly fine, and very, very quickly. It was gloriously stable. I can't get more than 2 hours of use out of this without having to reboot; this afternoon I've been having to reboot every 10 minutes.
I've drawn Asus' attention to these problems via Twitter and Google+, and I know they've been told about it on Facebook, but there's been a wall of silence.

I had the problem with a disappearing launcher on ICS on 4 different launchers. Recently I removed a few widgets (NewsRepublic, Bacon Reader, and DroidWidget) and haven't had the problem reoccur. Maybe some widget incompatibility is to blame?

Could be. Mine's more stable (touch wood) since I got rid of both Beautiful Widgets widgets off my home screen.
Guys I´ve finally done a hard reset on my tf and all goes fine.
Thanks for all
Same problem here with the stock ICS launcher. Using ADW Launcher EX without problems.
Some apps seems to be running super fast at times and then others super slow at times with ICS. Guess I'll do a Titanium backup and factory reset and see if that helps. ugh...
When I press the recent apps key while in the home screen, the lower part of the screen flickers. This happens when there are a lot of apps on the list. Has anyone else noticed this problem? The flicker is more like diagonal.
Here's a video:
I've seen it before on my tf101 as well

Doesn't happen on my TF. You are probably using some old app that is causing issues on ICS.
Appears every now and then for me too. Doesn't annoy me too much, but I think there will be some minor updates by Asus that fix some bugs. I'm really curious how the support of the TF101 will be in the future, as there is the newer Prime now (and some other Tablets coming). What do you think, will we see official Jelly Bean for the TF101 by the end of the year or so or will we need to use CM10?
This happens on my TF also. I have noticed that the YouTube app also sometimes makes a similar graphical effect, and then recent apps + being in the YouTube app usually makes the tablet go crazy.
This is also very similar to the 'screen tearing' seen on the TF201, which leads me to believe its software, and will be ironed out by asus in time.
There is no problem with the recent app list on my transformer, but I've this in You Tube homescreen - the You Tube logo on the upper left corner is flickering.

For those who are not experiencing this, are you using a custom rom or stock? Also, this happens if there are more than 7 items on the recent apps list. I think this problem is related to the launcher itself. I tried iLauncher, and there is no flicker on the screen when I press the recent apps button.
I tried the SPB launcher and seems to be working fine.

Using Them EOS ROM, have the flicker with stock launcher and Apex but not with ADW EX launcher.
Guess since Apex is based on the stock it's happening with it too
I have it when I type on YouTube sometimes..

I've been through different ROMs -- ARHD and Revolver but same thing happen. I noticed though that this issue does not occur when the TF is upside down.
I finally found a temporary fix: hold down the key a little bit longer but not longer that it will take a screenshot. I hope this will be fixed on the next updates..
is a mistake that will have to fix asus.
I put several roms, several launchers ..
and any such error does not happen, except if I open more than 15 different applications, the error appears!
if placed vertically does not appear that annoying error.
Never had that issue. Not on stock (.17) or team EOS nightly which Im running now.
Im using nova launcher.
I noticed a bug in the "tap to scroll" functionality of the homescreen. Normally (since hc/ics), you can tap on the left or right of the screen edge to switch screens (instead of swiping). This also works in the app drawer. However, since the update, there seems to be a bug in this area. Here's how I duplicate the bug;
On the home screen, see if you can scroll by tapping on the left or right edge of your screen. If you can not, rotate your screen from landscape to portrait and then back.....now you should be able to scroll via tapping. If you could scroll before rotating, go to the next step....
Now, open the app drawer. The tap to scroll works here also. Now, return to the home screen. Try tapping to scroll again. It will not work now.
To regain the ability, you will have to rotate the screen back and fourth again.
The app drawer doesn't seem affected by this issue. Only the homescreen.
Can anyone else duplicate this issue?
(Just for the record, fresh install of the update)
I can tap to scroll just as I could in ICS. Bit of a shame, since I hate that feature.
I can confirm the "tap to scroll" bug. It works fine until you try to do the same thing in the app drawer and then try to do it on the home screen again - just as the above poster stated... Not a big deal for me as I never used it anyway (at least purposely)....

Although I do use both tap and swipe, its not the end of the world for me either. Just wanted to be sure I'm not the only one.
I'm sure Asus will patch it at some point (although I'm not sure if the intention was to remove it or keep it based on the findings)
Borrowing this thread a bit. I don't have the problem you described however it's related to the home screen.
After the JB update, whenever I swipe to the main screen and the animation is about to end, I get some lag. Always the same kind of lag at the end of the animation and only on the main homescreen... After the JB update I noticed the lag and did a factory reset but now after installing some apps,it's back again. This happens witb all power modes and it doesn't matter if I clean the screen from apps and widgets, still the same laggy partat the end..
Anyone who recognizes this? I'm stock rooted...

I've noticed the same thing, using Apex Launcher and Nova Launcher (its a very faint lag, almost not noticeable). What launcher are you using? I tried stock launcher and it didn't happen.
Wallpaper does not scroll after JB update. I am using Apex launcher. Does anyone have the same problem?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Hm, I have the same tap to scroll bug.
My wallpaper doesn't scroll either. Using apex or nova it's the same.
And more than that, if I turn the tablet to portrait mode the wallpaper sticks to the top of the screen leaving a big portion of the screen black (without wallpaper) on the bottom.
I have this bug too. It kind of bugs me, because that is my primary way of changing home screens while holding a newborn. I too found that simply rotating the screen will fix the issue, but about half the time I do that, my home screen icons are all missing!
I'm guessing a patch will be coming soon to fix this? (like 6-8 weeks )

I'm also getting that exact same problem as the OP. Glad to see I'm not the only one. Funny that only a few people have this problem. I did a wipe data/ factory reset a couple of times and that didn't help either and I don't have any other apps installed as I only now got my Infinity (its only rooted but still locked and on stock ROM). Hopefully ASUS will send out a fix soon. I really miss the tap/touch to scroll on the home screen.
I think that *everyone* who uses the stock launcher actually has this problem... One possible solution is to install the free "Holo HD" launcher (I just confirmed that the touch to scroll feature works) - it's a nice launcher similar to Nova, Apex, etc. It runs really well. Nova/Apex and or Trebuchet launcher might fix this issue as well. Trebuchet is the most similar to stock (almost can't tell the difference). Holo HD, Apex and Nova have more features though...

I can confirm the issue as stated in first post. Works in app drawer, not on home screen. Rooted, stock JB.
Resigned
Purchased my Droid Razr HD on launch day and I must say I was in love with the phone on ICS. Was extremely excited when the JB update hit. But since I updated, my phone has been a complete mess. I have been patient in hopes it would fix itself, but below are some of the issues.
When I unlock the phone, the clock in the circle widget lags, so I will unlock, it will say 2:00 for a solid second or two, then update to 2:10. The time should not lag like that. It basically lags and adjusts every time I unlock it. If I haven't touched my phone in 45 minutes, I'll unlock, it will say 2:00, then two seconds goes by and it updates to 2:45
When I hit messaging to view my texts, all of my contacts show up as just phone numbers, then after a few seconds the names load. If I scroll down further they are still numbers then switch to names.
The browser goes unresponsive. Everything from inability to swap tabs, to hitting a link. Usually I'll force stop chrome.
Overall the entire phone experiences major lag issues. Typing, swapping apps, etc... Anyone else experience this? Could the phone have just downloaded the OS poorly?

It's seriously making me want to dump this phone.
Indeed there is lag. Here's a funny thing, I get lag using the stock launcher and swiping the page from left to right with the any of the stock image wallpapers loaded.
However, if I use a live wallpaper (say Phase Beam) the swiping from left to right with the live wallpaper active is blisteringly quick.. How fcuked up is that?
I am having the same issue. I factory reset the phone before flashing JB. I also have times that the phone is completely unresponsive and requires a hard reboot. Any ideas?
there is definite lag when scrolling over to the quick settings page, idk why motorola can't get that fixed. My big complaint is the lack of stock android browser. I hate chrome, its slow compared to the aosp browser. I actually bought another Galaxy Nexus and am going back to that. Will miss the battery life though. You could always use the utility in the dev section to go back to ICS though
I used the utility to go back to ICS. I didn't have lag issues, actually my phone on JB was much faster and smoother. I went back because of all of the features missing from JB. For instance:
1) Motorola keyboard (much better than the AOSP keyboard in JB IMO)
2) Manage internal storage feature (gone in JB)
3) Wired headphone equalizer in ICS works on anything coming out of the headphone jack. (In JB it only works in the music app)
4) Also there is a bug where if you are listening to music through headphones and get a text message, the notification only comes through at less than half volume and there is no pause in the music. I have missed several text messages because of this. Even if i know the sms is coming through and i see it appear on the screen i still can't hear it over the music
I'm sure there were a few more things i am missing, but those were enough for me to switch back.
same lagg here
on ics, adw launcher heped with my lagg, but on jb, doesnt seem to matter what launcher i use, lagg everywhere. unlocking is annoying and sms app takes a bit to populate. cant wait for a solid cm 10.1 for this. I feel like its the only fix.
I would have thoght since motorola is owned by google, the os would be as good as the nexus. NOT even close
Not the ideal solution, but have you guys tried doing a full wipe factory reset and/or wiping the cache partition?
My Razr HD has just started developing a "dim" screen from waking after a long period. Not sure if this is software or hardware, it doesnt happen all the time - maybe once a day - but I have to go to the display settings and check/uncheck the auto brightness box to fix it....
Any of you out there having a similar issue??
I installed nova launcher prime and it is extremely smooth.

What? I tried to get to the stock recovery, but I cannot seem to get past the "dead android" screen no matter what button combination I try.
Edit: you have to be really precise when holding down the volume up and down buttons lol
Is it hold down the power/lock button, then tap volume up? Think that's the combo on my Nexus S
I've been trying to figure out this lag thing too...I really dislike lag. I disabled Google Now & disabled the Verizon Apps as previously suggested. I also think I may have found something awesome:
It may be premature, but I believe I've found a way to get rid of almost all lag. I installed this apk called Seeder.
My lag pretty much gone. I've been disappointed in EVERY Android phone I've ever had (because of lag)...this seems to have fixed it.
I installed the leak the second it was confirmed to be the legit Verizon approved build and the lag for me was comparable if not slightly better than ICS. Nova Launcher is good though, you lose the settings menu that always lags the first time you swipe to it, but you can replace that with Power toggles for the pull-down menu.
What you're experiencing seems much worse than what I remember because the phone was still highly usable, just not perfect. I was never a big fan of Circles, even after removing it from my home screen it would find its way into my list of running processes till I froze it with titanium backup. I froze virtually all the Verizon crap that'd run constantly too and the phone has been nearly flawless since installing Nova.
Also came across several sites I need to access for work that render horribly slow on Chrome like Hawaii'sVIP, it just chugs along like a slide show. Dolphin Browser on the other hand renders heavily populated pages almost instantly. It also looks truly hardware accelerated during rapid zooming and scrolling, where Chrome often jumps around and loads the page in chunks.

i JUST bought this phone yesterday and today is the first day i have actually gotten to use it and start setting it up. Its all stock. the only thing i did was install my general apps that i use all the time, and disabled the useless apps. verizon apps, amazon, some google play apps, etc. nothing major to the phone. whats happening is that when i play a youtube video or play a game, i get like a half second stutter or freeze then it continues normally. this happens on all games.
any ideas what it could be?
Bring that sucker back and get a replacement.
In all seriousness, this really sucks to hear. Have you tried unfreezing all previously frozen apps to see if the issue still persists? Since you haven't modified anything in the phone yet, you could perform a factory reset and see if that helps anything.

This phone should not stutter at all. It should fly through everything. If factory reset doesn't fix it, return it

I know. I was shhocked when I started to notice it. I ONLY noticed it on YouTube vids and games. The the menus there didn't seem to have a hiccup at all. Maybe an app I installed? I'll try unfreezing tho oak what one would cause that.
The other issue I'm having is with my chrome bookmarks. I have 2 folders on my chrome. "Other bookmarks" where All my computer bookmarks r stores and "mobile bookmarks" when nothing is stored. What I'm trying to do is copy say Facebook from other to mobile. But every time I go to do that it moves it from other to mobile and than its no longer on other bookmarks. How can I copy bookmarks over without moving them?

Alright so I unfroze all the apps and rebooted and still same issue. So then I froze everysingld app I could that I downloaded or Google app and tried again and still doing it. So it's not an app. Must be a system setting... And ideas what setting could cause this?

If a factory reset didn't fix it (if you've done one yet), just take it back. No system setting is going to cause intermittent lag. That would be the worst idea for a setting ever... "Check this box to slow down your system at random times."

I don't know if you can copy bookmarks through Chrome on your phone. Just do it from your desktop.

i was thinking the stutter may have been from play services... but it fully up to date.

I have an M8 that at first was super fast pretty much at all times.
I installed Next Launcher on it, and it was still fast, for at least a few weeks I think.
But now I regularly get nasty lag when using that launcher (tapping on home or whatever, even other app's).. lag on the order of even 1-4 seconds before an action takes place… not acceptable at all.
I saw a post somewhere about modifying a build.prop option to "always keep launcher in memory" or something like that. I believe the post said that the launcher may get unloaded from memory at times by Android if other memory intensive app's are running.
Just wondering if anyone else has encountered similar lag from a launcher like Next Launcher… or other lag just appearing over time.
If I do a restart, lag will go away for a bit, but then return… I think it's when the Launcher is loaded, and resident in memory, that lag goes away for a bit.
I didn't want to have to root just to modify build.prop, but I guess I may have to…
Thanks for any ideas…
p.s.
I have the AT&T HTC One M8… but I doubt that would matter for this issue.
[Fixed]
Checking "System persistent" under "Performance Settings" seems to have fixed most lag on Next Launcher for me.
I also checked "Hyper Fluency" which may also help.
Nice that this option was possible so I didn't have to root just to keep the Launcher fluid...

Not necessarily. I've used more than 10 different Android devices, including the HTC One M8, and every one of them stuttered to some degree, usually once every 2 or 3 seconds while watching YouTube or Netflix, playing games, etc. It has nothing to do with network speed or a device defect. But if it's really freezing for half a second, that's a different story.

Yes, it does. You're just not sensitive enough to notice.
I am having similar issue. Got the phone a few weeks ago, and have been getting used to it. First off, the battery life is not what people made it out to be, unless mine is faulty...
Getting to the point though, in the notification bar, if there is more than 2 notifications at the same time, say an email, a chat, and a text, when I unlock the phone, the entire top notification bar "flashes" in a stuttery manner... and until i remove the notifications it continues to do this. I attempted factory reset but had no success.. Any advice?
