Big improvement with latest patch

For people with Lag issues it appears that the latest patch will help a lot. I've gone into most of my apps, done updates while using the tablet, and worked in my browser. Before this update I always got lag and frequently the wait/close app dialog.
After this patch today I'm not seeing these problems. Things still aren't silky smooth but there aren't any big hiccups. I'd consider this version to make the tablet usable where before it was an exercise in frustration.
So go to settings, about tablet, system firmware update, then check. Definitely a lot of improvements.

Where are you located? I checked and it says no update. I'm in the US.

I'm in the US and I just received the new firmware after checking for an update. OTAs are usually pushed out in batches so it's possible not everyone with a US tablet can get the update yet.

Im in the US, got update an hour ago

I was out of the house when I read about this. Just got home and I was able to check for update and install new firmware. Its about 80% done right now. (From US)

first my xoom gets jelly bean and now this. woo hoo

Noticed a camera and touch screen update. Anyone test clicking sound in cam? Wonder if it's gone.

I got home not long ago (10-11pm central time). Played around with the tablet. No update dialog yet. Seemed kinda slow because tablet's been on for a day or so, and I rebooted it. After it booted up, I was prompted for a firmware upgrade. Perhaps try rebooting? And I'm located in US (Texas) if that matters.

I doubt location (within US) matters but if it does I'm in Dallas and i have the update.

the latest firmware version on asus website at this time is V9.4.5.22
@OP: what firmware version do you have after the update?

Just heard about the new patch, checked the System Firmware Update in the Setting menu and the download started right away. The only problem, it won't install when your battery is below 15%! I'm at 8% and climbing. They send these out in batches, so if you don't have it now you should be getting it soon. If you're in Austin, TX you should be able to get the update.

I am in the US as well, no updates here.

So just pulled the update...fairly impressed obviously the kernel has been turned down a bit ...stock now @ 1700 vs 1900...touch screen seems better calibrated ...apps seem to open faster however a good cache/dalvik wipe always has that effect...was able to keep root...haven't unlocked yet as there is no ROMS/kernels yet so why bother ....camera does not seem any better though.

I'm in the US, bought my amethyst tablet from Amazon, and still on version .21 with no update available.

I Don't understand why i'm getting such low Antutu scores

In the benchmark result post, people are getting way way way better scores than me. People are getting 13 000, 14 000, while you can see in this screenshot, i'm not even hitting 5K. This is with performance mode, running .26
I really dont get it how come my score are so low. I am rooted and have removed a bunch of bloatware that did make my tablet seem smoother. In any case, i did try this test before even rooting and still around 4500. I tried changing settings in SetCPU, even when i use performance governor and cfq, still get around 5100. Any ideas?
My MicroSD is a Sandisk Class 10.

i dont want to unlock as i have a 2 year warranty on this tablet. And even if you might be right about benchmarks, this is not a 5% or even 10% difference, its 60 to 70%. That is a major difference that has something behind it and i want to try and find out what that is.

Do you have force GPU rendering on in the Dev option, because it is known to drastically drop your scores.
I'm getting around 14150 using Zues' Rom v3.0.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app

in addition to ensuring that you have forced 2d rendering disabled, you might want to check your minfree settings. right after flashing zeus' rom earlier i ran a test and also got around 5k. it didn't jump up to 13k until i adjusted minfree. you can find some suggested settings in d14b0ll0s' tweaks thread. you don't need to be unlocked but you do need root.

Mh... i had similiar issues too. First after i installed .26 i got also 13k. Then after some time i only got 5k-7k.
Yesterday i read an article on anandtech.com with the title the-16gb-nexus-7-storage-performance. Sorry can't post url's.
One of the comments remembered me about one thing. I also had a transformer prime. I used it to store my pictures. The more less diskspace i had, the slower the transformer become.
i had some movies, pictures and tv episodes on infinitys internal memory. After deleting them i got again 10-12k.
Actually, we should become very angry on asus putting such a crap into a such expensive device. Even the nexus 7 got apparently a better controller then our infinity... grrrrrr

Well I only got 3600 on the quadrant mark with the .26 update installed, so I was a it puzzled there. When I tried without force GPU rendering it couldn't even hit 3000!

Ran this one just once this morning. I'm stock, rooted, locked. Used setcpu to overclocking both max/min to 1700MHz and set to performance.
Ran this one with ATP Tweak.

Some of you have suggested a factory reset. For others it also solved some smoothness and lag issues. Well I decided to do it too and I'm back to having normal antutu scores. The lowest score I have is 13286 and the highest is 14092. So a factory reset did fix the issues. I I'm happy now

Not my call. It was a suggestion from other great brainers of this forum. I didn't suspect it or have any why a factory reset would help. Maybe cache related?

New Dock Firmware update?

Did anyone else get an OTA dock firmware update today? After un-docking (which I don't do that often, to be honest) and using my tablet for a while, I re-docked it and noticed the firmware update icon in the status bar. Excitedly, hoping it was Jelly Bean, I checked it out and found that it was just a dock update. What's strange is that after applying the update, the dock firmware level is still reported as "TF201-DOCK-0207", which is what I believe it was before the update...
I've had my infinity since it was first released.... Very strange....
Anyone else?
EDIT: By the way, I thought that OTA updates wouldn't work if you were Unlocked? Or is that only for the actual Android OTAs for the tablet? I'm unlocked, rooted and running a custom ROM (Zeus 3.0) and had no issues with the dock OTA....

Yes, I got one too a day or two ago - - I posted in the Q&A forum to see if anyone else got one -- one poster suggested I was probably just getting one i missed --- I too have had my tablet and docking stn for about a month .......I thinnk I got an update when I first got the keyboard but was so excited I wasn't paying that close attention !! (I am like a kid at christmas with new toys !!! lol !! )

Thanks for the reply... I *know* that I was on the latest dock firmware before the update, but like I said, the version didn't change after the upgrade - very strange.
Anyway, can anyone comment on the fact that I was able to receive an OTA update even though I was unlocked and running a custom ROM?? I thought that was impossible?

I received my firmware for my dock yesterday. I assume because it is the dock and not the tablet why your able to receive the update even though your tablet is unlocked. They never stated that we wouldn't get keyboard updates either. Just the tablet.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app

I have a dock with a BCOKAS serial that I got with my 201 in January. It was on version 0206 until I got my 700 three weeks ago; suddenly it wanted to be 0207. I got the update notification yesterday morning and I'm still at 0207.
For whatever that's worth.

I still have the Asus weather Widget. What's yours?
And i got the dock update in the morning too. Now running TF201-DOCK-0207. I don't know what it was before...

I got my TF700 when it was released, I bought the T201 doc from Best Buy for $99 and I did receive the OTA for the tablet, but not the dock. The dock is at 207 though. I am unlocked and rooted, but on factory ROM.

I got the Dock Update the same day I hooked up the TF700 to the 201 doc. I did it right after I did the regular update

Mine dock is 0207 already once I bought it.

That would be nice! If the Nexus 7 is any indication of what Jelly Bean is all about, we are all going to have one *awesome* tablet after Jelly Bean drops!
Jelly Bean on my Nexus 7 is *really* nice - I think it'll make a huge difference on our TF700's!
I just don't get why the dock version wouldn't change after an update...

I tried undocking and redocking. No update prompts. I am on the TF201-DOCK-0207 already?

I can confirm that I was already on 0207, and also received a "new" 0207 update. Screenshot attached. Hopefully, as said, this is in prep for Jelly bean!

I got a dock update the very first day I plugged my new Infinity into the dock (had been using it with the Prime for weeks). Figured it may have been a compatibility update.

Are you using a different launcher like Go Launcher Ex? Mine was pretty laggy. Only when I deleted that certain app and did a cold boot is when my speed returned to me.

still trying to figure out why its not performing like i feel it should. i get lag with the keystrokes when using the docked keyboard and when swiping from home screen.
i did put nova on it and it seems to be a better, more fluid launcher than the stock launcher. any other tips or tricks you could suggest?

My fastest quadrant score

I don't know what happened. I started out with what i consider terrible quadrant compared to ics. I'm rooted and unlocked, but other than cleanup bloatware my tablet is stock. I have 2d acceleration ticked.
4711 is 200points higher than ics score. Someone mentioned wait a few days, my response, what that's going to do? Maybe he was right.

I don't think scores are the end all. User experience is much more important. I don't know which test is best, but quadrant is easy to use and gives a graph that i can compare over time. Quadrant is just away to keep score.
I like to see others scores. I would prefer people post quadrant scores and graph if possible.

Unfortunately the Transformer Infinity doesn't compare to my GS3 overall. The Infinity has a monster CPU and slightly better GPU overall (based on many tests which it wins some and loses some), but the 2D performance is severely lacking as is the I/O. Still, it's not a bad thing at all. Works quite well for what I wanted.
