Having issues with new tf300 is it JB or defective? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my tf300 a few days ago and updated to jelly bean right away and ive been having problems with lag randomly happening and also multiple force closes of apps. Is this a problem with the jelly bean update or should i think about returning it and getting another?

Lots of members here have posted positive results after resetting the tablet to factory settings. Give it a try before returning the tablet.
How to is mentioned in a video Under development section. Link for the thread
Video is in post no 2.
Good luck

OK ill have to try that. Is there a way to backup your apps/data without rooting and installing titanium?

The tablet comes with a built in app to back up your applications. You have the option of backing up the apps only, or backing up the apps+data

Netflix Update Today?

Is anyone else finding that THIS is not working for them? I have no update available. I'm on Revolver 3.9.3.
Am I the only one, or are others seeing this?

I applaud your unbridled optimism Sir.
ASUS hinted at this yesterday on FB. Their post "When Mr. Jellybean is in the office, it means something good is coming."

I've learned from the TF101 ICS update - be careful what you wish for!!! For those that don't know, my (and others) TF101 has basically become very un-reliable since they introduced ICS.
While I truly *hope* we don't have such issues with the Jelly Bean upgrade, I certainly don't have a lot of confidence in Asus at this point.
I just hope that they don't rush it and test it properly before releasing it and forcing the upgrade on us (which is exactly what they did with the ICS update on the TF101).
I do know that my TF700 has some of the same ICS issues that the TF101 had (OpenGL out of memory errors, for example, which causes your launcher to go "blank")....

It looks like they are using 3.x.x kernel on JB, someone can confirm this?

Great! Very exciting news to wake up to!
When Firmware actually starts dropping DON'T FORGET TO!!
*Side load your FLASH PLAYER. If you want flash. It will no longer show up in the Playstore any longer
*Revert back whatever modding/altering to system files just in case Rooters. Only if you want your OTAS to actually complete. Or if running a custom rom it wouldn't work anyways as you already know.
*Don't forget to backup your Root with Voodoo Ota Rootkeeper! You will definitely lose root if you don't
Time to obsessively check every 5 minutes for the update!!!

*sighs* I want all my devices to run Jellybean today, here is to hoping it will happen.
As I'd normally recommend rooting myself, I don't think it's necessary in this case. Why not just install .apk with Flash after allowing unknown sources? I believe it should suffice, although I don't know if it's any different with the JB system of permissions.
No need to root to install Flash on Jelly Bean. At least not on the Nexus 7.

I can confirm - my father just bought a Nexus 7 - I emailed the Flash app to him and he was able to install it and it worked without any rooting or anything.
He used Boat Browser (per my recommendation) - not sure about other browsers, but I assume it work with all expect for Chrome, of course...

To everyone who wants flash, the easy way is to place the apk somewhere on Dropbox/Google Drive/Physical medium and install it from there, also since this week Adobe Flash Player is not available in the Play Store. http://www.pcworld.com/article/260901/android_flash_player_rip_how_to_get_it_now_that_its_gone.html

Everyone remember to backup the files created by titanium backup themselves to a removable SD card or your PC.
As for JB, I am not sure we can expect it for the TF700 right away ... the TF300 is so similar to the nexus 7, I'm sure they only slightly modified their nexus 7 kernel.
Is it just me or does anyone else thinks it's wrong that Asus updated their cheap tablet before their flagship?

No, the tf300 probably just happened to be ready first. It would silly to make all of the tf300 wait a few days just because the tf700 wants it first lol

Is it possible to fallback from Jelly Bean?

If it doesn't work out, can I fall back to ICS?
TIA

I tried reloading the .30 firmware by putting the zip in root of internal storage. It updated as a downgrade but I was still on job when it was done, so not sure if you can with a locked boot loader.

Do you think it is worth jumping in now? I don't have specific expectation on JB except it is the latest from google.

Just depends on your taste. You might review other upgrade post stories first to be sure. Some are flawless, some not.

THelook and feel of JB is for the most part similiar to ICS.
Their are some differences you will notice:
Animations: Some new and smooth animations that are nice. Animationa arre a minor thing but add a nice touch.
Project butter: My tablet does seem to run smoother and I have yet to have a wait/close prompt pop up. Of course I may get some, but so far it seem to have improved in that dept.
Google Now & search: This is what I wanted most. I really like the voice search, it really fast with returning answers. I wish I did a few more thens like open apps and tell me my next apointment when asked, bt I'm sure that will come with future updates. Google Now is prety neat and I'm interesting in seeing how it starts to work once I have had it a while and it can develop some patterns and give me info based off what it believes is relavent for me.
This is just an initial impression is I just updated last night and haven't really got much day to day expierance with JB, but so far so good. So far I don't really see the down side. You gain a few things and don't really lose much. Unless you have a particular app that dosen't play well wih JB yet.
Can't wait to get jellybean but I'll wait patiently for it

You could learn in these forums to root, unlock and flash ROMs; giving you an open ticket to run whatever you want on ur tablet.

I want to downgrade ,too. But it is unable to downgrade with known methods.
PS. My device is unlocked.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash whatever ROM you want from the custom recovery you installed.

You can flash anything, doesn't mean you'll be successful. The current recoveries can't support this due to different boot and kernel mods. The guys are currently trying get a fix for those on OTA JB and all. I would say sit tight and wait for conformation that Twrp or cmw can backup and restore boot from diff firmwares. I tried this and got stuck at Asus logo and couldn't boot into os. But was able to get official JB back up. So now I'm stuck on JB for now.

ICS backup after JB update

Is an ICS backup garbage if you have updated the tablet to JB?

I'm going to guess yes, because if you try to use ICS ROM with jb bootloader / recovery... well they just don't get along
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
They might eventually make the partitions work, and you could potentially recover data from your backups if you needed to, but basically yes. I'm saving mine 'just in case', but honestly I already think they're wasting space

I made a super locked down master image but we loaned a few tablets to our IT guys and they got updated. So my plan now is to just update a tablet and grab the update as the new master so any tablets that come in we update and lock down again

Settings tab forces close when accessing storage

I am running AOKP JB Milestone 1 with TWRP recovery and KATKernel #56d_lidpatch on my TF101 (just for some background). I have just had a weird bug pop up where when I attempt to access the storage section in the settings it forces the settings to close. This happened right after I was having issues with the tablet being able to read the SD card in the dock. I do not recall this happening before, but to be completely honest, I might just never have tried to access this section before while using this particular ROM. I did a reboot and removed the tablet from the dock, but none of this seemed to help. While this is a minor inconvenience and not a huge deal, but I would still like to get this worked out. I have had zero issues with this ROM since flashing the KATKernel, so I am not sure what is going on. Any help or advice that anyone could give me would be great, thanks folks.

It happened to me with CM10 ROM, but fresh install of ROM did the trick...try it
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it worked when I did a flash of the ROM without the KATKernel, but when I flashed the KATKernel the bug came back. Oh well, without the KATKernel the WiFi connection using the AOKP ROM is terrible (it usually drops every two minutes or so). With the KATKernel everything works beautifully...except for the ability to check the storage in the settings tab. I guess I'll just deal with that, it's a trade off that I am willing to make.

Use different ROM like CM10 or paranoid port...
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app
CM10 was the first ROM that I tried, I didn't like it. I really like the AOKP ROM and if this is my only issue then I am willing to deal with it and hope for a fix with the next update. This is the first time since getting the Tf101 that I have had almost no issues, so I guess I am willing to stick it out if there is currently no fix or kernel that will solve my problem.
