I just wanted to make a quick video of the speed of the tf700 on JB. I know alot of you are saying that this tablet is buggy/has i/o issues/ lag etc... but honestly i think this thing flies. If your tablet is not performing like how mine does in the video, you might want to either reinstall JB and/or do a COUPLE COLD REBOOTS. Honestly these help out alot for any update.

Also note the speed with the heavy live wallpaper set to max, no lag what so ever!
[EDIT] Here is another video, i loaded a bunch of apps in the tray and started switching between apps. I have the dock attached, 2 sd cards, live wallpaper on full resolution and battery usage, and google now updating for sports. As you can see its effortless.

Mine is fast as well...I did manage to make it slow down.....while running Nova Prime with 7 screens and close to a dozen widgets running...but even with all that running, it would still play a full size AVCHD format .m2ts file in BS Player butter smooth.
I have no "buyers remorse" what so ever. I think Asus put out a rockin' tablet with the 700. In my experience with it so far...what is not to like?
Thanks for the vid,

You spend most of your time switching between home screens, which is not a big challenge. Instead, try launching and using actuall apps and games, especially when doing a file operation in the background. You'll see the lag that people are talking about.

Honestly there is no difference. Currently i have the xda app open, along with both stock and firefox browser( firefox is able to play espn videos while the stock is just fast), my google voice and talk are also open ( talking to friend in NY and texting mom), i just opened YouTube to look at the comment left on the video you just viewed and i also have the world of goo going...all with that live wallpaper you see in the video. Honestly i have pushed this tablet to the limits and i still dont see any problem.
If you really want i can make another video showing me opening up every app i have, switch between them and show that there is no slow down?

As was stated, if you want to prove or disprove IO issue, do run 17 apps, that's mostly memory. Kick off a large download then launch a browser an see how it loads and even after loading how it scrolls and respond to link clicking
While my tab generally performs well I did notice some IO lag come back with the JB update.

Great idea. Perhaps ones concerned about performance should do the same and show exactly what they are seeing. Mine is just like yours. I now even run on power save as jb took away the navigation lag during the mode. Chaos rings even runs fine on the power save.
Try actually using the tablet, like using Maps for directions, finding a place, then use the browser for reviews, info, etc and maybe Yelp, Tripadvisor etc for other information. The tablet grinds to a halt once the OS has to start removing cached processes to free up memory, which again triggers a ton of (SQLite) I/O operations which is really bad on the useless NAND that Asus chose for this otherwise great tablet.
On another note, I was typing up this post (well, about the same) earlier and the tablet froze, and rebooted, stuck at the Asus logo. I had to reset it by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. The latest JB update has definately NOT fixed these freezing/rebooting issues.

Maybe it's because i'm used to Windows XP, but I haven't noticed any lag on mine, even when running Navfree, stockbrowser 3 tabs, where's my perry, Photoshop mobile and mxplayer at the same time.
Does anyone use Kindle? I find it really slow at scrolling and sometimes it got a big white cropped field when trying to scroll down...
Posted new video. I really don't want to make a 20 minute video detailing every single thing i do on the tab. The apps you see loaded are on the lower end (number wise) of apps i usually have loaded at once. This tab has completely replaced my laptop so i am always on it. Basically take what you see in the video, add like 4 more apps and expand the video by an hour or so and this is the SAME performance i get...No slow down or glitches. Infinity FTW!

I have noticed that the stock browser will load a page faster than before but immediately lags afterwards for a couple seconds, preventing scrolling. My biggest gripe is text entry via dock now. Copy and paste is VERY wonky still. Set default keyboard to android etc..... whatevs....
Thanks. That's more like the experience I was expecting. Mine is worlds apart, with stuttering, lag while switching apps and impossible to use browser. I'd post a recording but I had it sent to the lab a couple days ago. Hoping it comes back like yours.

Actually I spend most of my time in my e-mail apps answering email or in a word or spreadsheet app typing stuff or digesting LARGE .pdf files. I haven't installed any games yet and probably won't. I game on my PC....(mostly FPS).....now if I could get Tribes Ascend to run on this Infinity gizmo...SHAZBOT!
Any machine can be made to lag, stutter or crash. The TF700 does what I need it to do quite well.....could it be smoother?.....sure...but why, and how much would it cost?
A challenge? Download an 8+ gigabyte multi-volume RAR archive over wi-fi and unpack it. (not only CPU intensive, but the read / write operations are pretty staggering as well) ....
The Infinity did a fine job of it and in short order.
Cheers!

I guess no one noticed the tablet locks up for 10 seconds in the video? When the OP taps the URL bar in the browser at ~0:53 the tablet stops responding completely. So you spent a minute and a half swiping between homescreens and tapping the notification tray, but of the 30 seconds you spent doing anything else, the tablet was unresponsive for 10.
That's proof there's no lag, right?

Thanks for your response, I assume other file types are fine on kindle. However, normally I use PDF which causes lag during scrolling up and down the pages, and scrolling to next page sometimes freezes up also.

Wait what? lol the tablet didnt lock up at all, i was actually deciding what website to go to while at the same time thinking of the next app to load. Also the first time i put my finger to the bar i didnt actually tap the screen. The second time i had to look down a the keyboard while holding the phone to type. The videos is blurry, but the tablet immediately responds to my touch with a prompt to type. No lock ups or slow down

The URL menu dropped down (1:02) when your finger was nowhere near it in response to when you touched it earlier. You also need to change the batteries in your smoke detector.

Don't know if its just my transformer or something I have installed but trying to browse or login to this website is really really slow, especially if I have a few other tabs open?
Nope it's everyone, not just you. It's the same in any browser i've tried on the pad. No idea why.
Thanks for that glad its not just me. Also now getting problem when trying to log into the Nationwide site in that I can get any of the drop down boxes to work at all. They used to work. Just trying a reboot then going to try a different browser.
it's not just tegra 2 or honeycomb. gingerbread on my old nook color, froyo on my galaxy tab, and gb on my evo. seems to be an android problem. my guess has been that the antialiasing of the type is done by CPU instead of gpu and causes the dreadful performance. works fine on my iPad though.
Well just loaded Dolphin HD and so far its much better on here than the stock browser, will see how it goes.
Switch to XDA classic theme at the bottom left should fix the lag issues.
Also there is a problem to press search and when you want to type something it just closes, not the browser only the search part,
And loading a XDA Page on your pc is also laggy it always takes some time to load, i think
its because it needs to check all the thankyou's, time and new posts etc,
YF,

Installing AdAway from the Market to block ads helped speed up the page load times for me.
I keep having my browsers stop, they wont finish loading and then when I touch on the address search bar or refresh button on the screen I get the force close message. I'm having problems with the stock browser and also the dolphin hd browser too. It happens after about 10 minutes and I can't find any correlation with certain sites, it's just after a little time no matter what I'm looking at. I did a search and only came across someone saying they were having a problem but it was a xoom and they were also rooted. My transformer is all stock and only about a week old. Does anyone have any suggestions or anything? Besides that I love this thing. Thanks for the help.
some sites are inaccessible without crashing to the desktop. Web browsing is one of the major use cases for the transformer. It will be nice if this geta fixed.
Are you serious? I researched tide tablet for weeks before i decided on it. I knew about the cameras and taking videos not being good, I knee there was a chance for light bleed, and also that there were some problems with hd video playback sometimes. I hadn't read anything however on browsing problems. I tried Firefox and opera along with dolphin and they all stop and crash. I don't understand why someone didn't mention this in their reviews with it being a problem. I've had no problems with light bleed, video playback and the camera is fine for me, but the browsing problem would have dissuaded me from purchasing if I would have known. Is there no fixes at all?
The problem is java script, try to disable java

On Monday I'll have my Transformer for 2 weeks. I just started having browser crashes yesterday only after a couple of minutes of browsing. This has happened on yahoo & xda. At the time I was trying to copy & paste. What I don't understand is I wasn't having problems before.
Also, I am unable to do a search on XDA. The search & keyboard come up monetarily then close.

Yes, stock & not rooted
I never get force closing pop ups but everynow and then the browser just closes... but then it depends on the website
I;m running overclocked prime
Mine is just stock, I haven't rooted mine either. I can usually browse for 10 minutes or so before mine stops then force closes. It seems strange that it just started after 2 weeks for the one person. If the problem is Java and I turn it off won't that limit some of the sites? I hate to be limited on browsing, otherwise you might as well get a dang ipad. I hope we find a fix for this it's driving me crazy.
Stock, 3.1 not rooted. The crashing is site specific. It happens with Dolphin as well. Xscope will handle the site, but it has other usability issues (like no zoom) . Do other tablets (zoom,tab 10.1,etc) have these issues? I love paying to be a beta tester.
Same problem here, browser crashes on certain webpages without a warning, switching java off solves the problem but this shouldn't be a solution
Turning off Java Script does indeed help a lot it seems - faster loading and far less crashes. As a web technology noob what do I lose w/o Java script? I browse mostly news/science/tech blogs and forums. Not to many interactive (save Facebook of course).
Any good tips on what losing JV scrips limits?
Thanks!
This has been discussed before Its a known issues (at least to us that have them) and its pretty annoying to say the least. Turning off javascript helps in two different ways (stops crashes and speeds up browsing), but some pages wont display correctly without it.
i resolved crashes with "adfree"
I've never seen my browser as prone to crash or sluggish on the transformer. The only thing I configured is to start plugins on click only (like poor man flashblock - but I prefer it this way on my desktop Chrome too). Running stock 3.1.
i wwill try the adfree and I will post my results.
I've had my Transformer for about three weeks and besides slowing down quite a bit the stock browser and Dolphin have been crashing regularly as of last week. I'm running stock 3.1 - not rooted or anything. It's gotten bad enough that I've basically stopped using it and am using my Acer W500 and iPad. I can put up with some problems in a new unit but if I had known that Honeycomb was as buggy as it seems to be so far I probably would not have purchased this.
i got mine last week, the default browser performance is unacceptable. It just crashes without any warning. Clicking comboboxes , checkboxes and even links in some cases is far too difficult to get right with one go, there are instances where you simply cant do it at all , even after zooming all the way in. Turning off JavaScript is not an option for me, there are simply too many sites using JavaScript for their manus n stuff. Now using dolphin browser, seemsmuch better, but still unreble.I am a huge android supporter, i have a galaxy s and i love it. But recently i compared this against an ipad 2, i hate to say this but with current firmware (3.1 stock, not rooted) this tablet is far inferior to the ipad when it comes to web browsing. I hate apple products,but at this point id rather have an ipad, over this

I am finally using the Transformer on vacation and the browser is erroring with a "force restart" message. Can be using 2-4hrs and message pops up. Not very nice.
On the latest build. What gives..Is this to be expected on Ver3.2?
Now i will say this...My wife's iPad has never done this..would hate to buy Apple but you cannot fault a Apple not working 99.9%..100% if flash gets loaded and with Steve Jobs gone this will happen.
use dolphin hd tablet.
Use opera browser, I think it's the best browser for the TF ATM, dolphin HD is good also but it's slower and laggier then opera for me...

Ok and installed. Let's see how this behaves.
Some quick comments:

2. Flash is work fine
3. Pages are scrolling smoother then stock browser
More to come...
To the OP, android did not just come out yesterday. If you really hate android stock browser before trying out other alternatives, you should get yourself an ipad.
I've actually seen people complain about the black area around the screen on the iconia and transformer. I told those people to get an ipad because [sarcasm] the ipad has no black area around its screen at all[/sarcasm].

I stated that the stock browser after 2-5hrs of use gives a "force restart" pop-up message. I am using a "stock" unit with the lastest firmware. I am trying another browser to see if it works without crashing. Again, since I do have a iPad 1 I can compare on the user experience. Android has some work to do on there platform...FACT
OP:
1. Flash is not 100% working on FP sites...this is noted from OP whitepaper
2. Using 3hrs and no crash message at this time..I use around 8 tabs in the browser.
3. Screen sizing is not as good as stock browser....OP resizing back and forth.
4. There is a lag from the keybard when typing..OS issue as this happens in any app.
Trying flash on both browsers. Flash does not work well on 360 views. It tries but then page displays "stop" symbol then site tab removes itself. Nice..
Site is landrover.com

Everything needs work. Thats why we have alternatives like firefox or opera. If you want everything to work exactly perfectly on stock you should stick with the ipad.
1, 3, and 4 are not true. Opera and firefox do not lag at all. This is not an os issue. Its software compatibility with the website issue.
Again, thats why we have free alternatives.

Flash is spotty on sites..as GM, Shopnbc.tv just to name a few. Basically the tablet is just not as good as a Laptop..The tablet is not 100% ready for Primetime...Apple still has the support of the business and OS..while no tablet at this time can replace a Laptop..I still will support my TF...BUT that's why use a Alienware M11x...light and ultra fast and works 100%..
I just uninstall OP.....going to test Dolphin Browser HD
Just one more note on OP:
When streaming video, the video remains playing as in Standard Browser or Dolphin this pauses the stream when switching to other tabs. This is very nice as with me having 8 or 9 tabs going at a time I can have streaming music in the background.
Now..Dolphin was able to work a little better for flash at landrover.com, Shopnbctv worked 100%. This app has a lot of setup options....
Since last firmware upgrade I noticed frequent browser crashes to the homescreen.
Suddenly the browser window disppears, and I am back at the homescreen, without the browser window I was watching being saved - when I restart the browser I am back at my starting page.
Did not find any solution!

My browser under 3.2 rebooted spontaneously one time. Other than that, I love it. Flash works smoothly, pages render fast enough, and the menu list when you touch the extreme right edge is fabulous.
I'm playing around too. When I first got 3.2 I though the browser was better. Now it seems to crash all the time. I've been using OP and it works pretty well. The sizing issues are annoying, but it works.
Hopefully, Google will get this fixed. The browser on my Vibrant (Froyo) is rock solid.
I'll give Dolphin its shot too. I would be ok with a little slower if it was stable.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue. I've had it happen multiple times right now - really pronounced on Amazon's site when browsing through items.
Also noticed that my "go back" button (the arrow, not the browser's actual back button) no longer functions as expected. I used to be able to hit that to go back to the previous page - now it takes several tries or me going to the top of the page and using the actual back button to go back. Anyone know of a fix? It's been a problem since the last OTA.
Hi guys,
I recently was able to exchange my Prime for the Infinity and for the most part I am extremely happy. The WiFi and GPS are both fantastic and the screen is beautiful!
One thing I've noticed is that when I go back to an app that I was previously using it will reload. When I do this on my Android phone this doesn't happen. For instance, if I watch a video on YouTube and then open Facebook, read an email, send a couple of texts... on my phone when I go back to YouTube it will still be paused right where I left it. On my Infinity it reloads and starts from the beginning commercials and all. The same goes for web pages, games, etc.
I'm just curious to see if other people are experiencing this same issue......

The screen is bigger so it might need more ram to store multitasking apps and push the pixels. I'm no expert though, don't take what I say as truth.

Hmm - I don't have that issue. It really depends on the way the app is coded, I believe (could be wrong though).
But, using youtube as an example, I started playing a video, paused it, opened up my new email (from the status bar) - read a few emails. Opened my note-taking app, loked around in there, and then switched back to youtube (via the running tasks icon on the status bar) and it was right where I left it.
Also depends on how much memory the apps use - if you are using a super-power-hungry app, it *could* close what's open in the background in order to take more resources for itself.
Last thing - have you made any changes to build.prop settings or Settings->Developer Settings? They could affect the ability to multitask as well...
Hope that helps.

First of all. Not trolling.
My netflix app was suffering from what it seems like most infinity users were suffering from- painfully slow scrolling. Not even setting force hardware gpu setting did not solve the problem. But today I fired up the netflix and the problem has gone away! Smooth scrolling with almost no lag. I know there is an netfix update, but I have not updated. The problem of lagging when typing to search still exists though. I am happy but quite puzzled over how it "just" fuxed itself. Anyone here with more brain power care to explain?
I am running stock 26 build.
As chief Dan George said "sometimes the magic works and sometimes it does not"
My experience, I followed the "force 2D GPU" on to solve my Netflix issue, but it didn't work (still the same, impossible to scroll etc..), then I did a reboot and still no luck. The next day it works beautifully. So the only thing I may think is something with force 2d hardware did not really kick in until later or a glitch issue with force 2d on. I then turn off the force 2d and Netflix back to non function again, then I re enable 2D and it stills not working, then did a reboot and this time it works right away. So my theory is enabling "force 2D" will resolved Netflix issue but it may not kick in right away.

Netfilx had a update on my device on the 6th. After the update it made the app. work much like it did for me when I used the Prime."Force 2D GPU" is the required on my device anymore. Once the page is fully loaded, it more around fine.

Anyone have a copy of the .apk file with the new NetFlix? I have NetFlix via a DNS Proxy, but don't get automatic updates to the application, due to being in Europe.

Thanks Seolyang for pointing this out. Netflix works great now. I went and turned off 'force 2d hw rendering' and it still performs the same. bout damn time!
Yes, my Netflix is working great now. Funny how people were returning their devices over a little software issue like that.
+1. I've turned off Force GPU and the newer version works basically like it did with force GPU. Not perfect, but infinitely more usable. I considered the UI non-functional without force GPU on the prior release. Really glad to see this fixed on the TF700. Netflix is an important app.
Mine is still super laggy even with the latest update
I think all of Netflix are running slow.
I tried to demonstrate the app to a colleague and the app totally undersold the Tranformer Infinity.
I don't know what to say about this.
I never experienced this problem with the Transformer Prime.
I tried searching for something on the app tonight and a bunch of search items showed up but it was impossible to select any of them. By touch or my trackpad. Most annoying bug ever.
Netflix issues of lag has already been fixed. By app update and latest .30 update. Its smooth and lag free now... at least on my end

Nice... Improved alot better but I notice a slight lag when you were browsing netflix a few times. Only thing I wished you should have added in the video was scrolling a tv show with seasons and episodes to see if it was smooth also in netflix.
Nice to see they fixed it without needing to use the 2D forced.
The TV shows series interface stinks. Just do a big list that scrolls. I'm luke warm on the choosing the season thing.

Here is another video of navigating TV SERIES. Initially there was a brief pause but after it loaded more it was smoother
Ok I completely forgot to do the tv show season/episodes scrolling. I'll do another take. I got nothing else to do atm.

To me, that still lags like crazy. Here is my experience with netflix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw6J_ZC3MD0 Impossible to search for a specific movie/show. Note, the reason the movie starts on the infinity is because I accidentally hit it on the main page outside of the search box. I would say that someone should do a side by side comparison with other tablets to show how bad it lags and doesn't work.
Sorry, I don't know how to insert the video like you have in your posts, lol.
Here is why it "all of a sudden was better" . They fixed things on their end without any update.

There must be something going on with your tablet? What are you running? Could be something modified or a 3rd party app that could be causeing this. Its running very smooth as you can see from my video. And Netflix has fixed the lag issues and unresponsiveness. Maybe clear data on Netflix, uninstall reinstall.

i have the search not working problems as well. i does not work on on my acer 500 either. I've read that because app uses html5 netflix can reprogram some things without an actual update from play store.
