Hey All,
I'm new to this tablet but not Android. I did search but didn't find much.
While watching videos, the sound drops every couple of minutes for 5 or so seconds. I have tried the stock player, MX player and RockPlayer2. Ive tried hardware and software decoding. All of them act the same. These are .mp4 videos that play fine on my Note2.
I am unrooted and stock, although I was planning on rooting.
Any ideas of how to fix this?
Thanks!

Wow. No one has had this problem?

No, I've never heard of nor encountered this issue.
Try shutting everything else that's running in the background down. Games, browsers and the like. (Under settings --> Apps --> Running)
Maybe it happens when something triggers the notification sound? Like email or something. Maybe the system lessens the sound in anticipation of the notification sound activating regardless of whether it was muted or set to the lowest setting. Just a thought.

Sound issues
Trust me on this.... 99.9% of all issues on 700 are the rom malfunctioning....
Install cleanrom inheritance 2.7 ...u will have no sound issues....

Well I was thinking maybe i need to move away from stock. I wonder if it's a hardware issue tho

Check to see if you have mail checking going on in the background. When I changed to manual checking rather than push mail or scheduled polling, I stopped seeing the issue. If it isn't mail, see if you have a newsreader or something similar running.

Has anyone attempted to stream netflix while using a Bluetooth headset? When I tried this netflix bufferred every 20 seconds or so and when it wasn't buffering, the video was choppy and audio was not in sync. Using wired headset it worked flawless.

Holy [email protected] I thought I was the only one who realized this. I wifi netflix and bluetooth to Jambox and it sucks. Buffers a lot and delayed sound. It even happens when playing a game with the Jambox connected. I take the bluetooth off and it's perfect.

I can't even use the Netflix app because the interface is sooooooo slow. It literally takes five to ten seconds to respond to touch inputs and when I try to scroll through lines of movies/shows, my finger travels the entire screen and the row moves only one or two places over. It's really annoying.
Apparently enabling forced GPU rendering in settings -> developer options will help with Netflix performance. It might cause issues with other apps though, so keep that in mind.

This is the same hardware problem that the prime had. You may notice it on you tube as well. It's because bt/wifi share a antenna. That said I did play around with mine for a few minutes and did not have the problem. Granted I'm sitting pretty close to the router. Check this out.... run the netspeed app to see what you get with bt off. Then start streaming some music to your bt headphones for google music and run netspeed while it's streaming. You will probablly notice a signifcant decrease.

What was mentioned about sharing the same hardware with the wifi/bt in the prime is correct. They use the same chip to decode both signals. So when both are being used at the same time the process slows down for both signals. This is a common occurrence among many portable devices and not just any Asus tablet. I've seen it on my cell phones also. Manufactures are moving to this combined chip process to save in both cost and shrink the size of the devices for smaller cases.
Now having said that, these chips are designed to function with both signals at the same time. If yours is experiencing horrible performance then return it for another. Don't wait for software fixes because they won't fix the hardware. It might improve but chances are higher it won't be fixed. If you wait your return for exchange window may pass.
Iust got an email from B&H about the issue and they said I can get a refund or exchange but they dont know when they are recieving the next batch. Im probably gonna get a refund and buy one elsewhere. Sucks
Does anyone have a Tf700 that actually streams movies over wifi and bluetooth to speaker, ear buds or anything successfully. I don't want to wait for an exchange if no one can successfully accomplish it.

I just did a wifi speed test without bluetooth on and my speed was 28mbs
With wifi on and bluetooth streaming music to my jambox the score dropped to 0.39mbs
That's crazy.
I used the speedtest.net app.
And enabling the gpu in the developer section didn't make any difference.

I am also getting tons of lag and constant disconnects/buffering when trying to watch HBO go or netflix over my stereo Bluetooth headset. I was wondering if there were others that have successfully gotten video to play while using a bluetooth headset other than that one poster. Is it just a defective unit that I received or are other people experiencing the same thing? Do you guys think its worth going thru the trouble of returning the tablet? I guess I am mainly trying to estimate the chances of getting another tablet that has the same issue.

I think any hardware issue is worth going through the trouble for. If you paid $500 for the tab, you might as well ensure everything works. The software can be fixed through official and third-party options but the hardware won't get any better.

Thanks for the reply. Yea, thats pretty much what I was thinking. Its just that the 64GB model is sold out from Tigerdirect and I didn't want to go w/o a tablet until they got them in stock.
B&H is trying to convince me its my router. They say 28mbs isn't fast enough to stream wifi and Bluetooth at the same time. Streaming wifi has nothing to do with Bluetooth. I asked them to make me a RMA tag so I can ship it back.
I'm waiting for their response. If it isn't enough can someone tell me. I don't want to get the same problem I had with the prime.

Have you tried calling 1-888-678-3688 for help? Its asus' support line. I was told to call that from tigerdirect before they could issue a return. I won't be able to call until after work today though because I forgot my tablet at home >.> But maybe they'll have something to say regarding the matter.
I just called the number and spoke toa Asus representative and here is what they told me
" The Asus Infinity TF700 is not designed to do this because the antenna will cause interference with each other since they both run off the same antenna."
WOW I can do this on my G2x. This disappoints me.

This is how the 300 was advertised. One at a time, not both. I had this problem horribly on the prime. On the infinity I drop from 28mbs without bt to 10 with it. I'm still able to stream just fine so far.

Hey,
Today I was really tired and needed some sleep in class, so I recorded my maths class if I needed it later while I slept. I recorded it in 1080p so it would be easier to read the stuff on the board. But when reviewing it I noticed the longer into the video I watched the more out of sync the audio became, until eventually it looked like she was miming. Also there was some flickering sort of thing going on, I don't know if this is normal since I'm no expert on cameras.

How long are ur videos?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
I have some of the same issue, mainly the video flickering. I've used VLC and the stock player but both without any success. I watch a lot of stuff in 1080p with both video players without any problem so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the player. I have also noticed that regardless of the lenght I have the same problem and that if I transfer the video to a different system the video plays fine (even through a web brouser). So I tried to disable all the syncs and autoupdates and increased the preformnce to the maximum but without any improvements. When I first got the tablet everything worked flawlessly. Is it an update issue?
Thanks for any suggestions.
So i just got my new pad and have been playing with it, closing,opening apps, and web browsing. I have found the tablet to be sluggish opening apps or responding to keyboard input in chrome. I didnt recieve any update when i first turned it on. Is there anything i can do?

You are not on Power Saving mode, are you?
Power Saving mode saves battery but makes whole process stutter especially opening application you can see frames stutter and wish you had Buttery smooth Jelly bean there. But on balanced mode, I don't notice any and not sure if Jelly bean would do anything there... as it is already so smooth.
But as far as browser, if you have many applications running behind that may cause keyboard input delay. If not, recommend Cold reboot.

No matter what might go wrong in life the absolute very first thing I wish for is buttery smooth jelly bean. Just last week I was complaining about the price of gas and it made me wish for buttery smooth jelly bean.

I have the same problem as you as well as others. I'm on the updated firmware and am incredibly disappointed. I've been supporting Android since it was first released and absolutely love my Nexus phone. I've had a few Android tabs and they have all been lacking. I finally did something I swore that I would never do and used an iPad. I really didn't like it except that it operated so smooth and didn't crash. I ran out and bought this tab as I hoped it would work better so I could ditch the iPad. Unfortunately, my infinity lags when loading pages and Gmail, crashes when watching movies and Gmail, and refuses to open desktop version of websites. I am going to wipe and reload one more time and if it doesn't work, I will have to send it back. I really really want this tab to work.

You want to update to .26, tablet is so much better after update
Huh, after updating I thought this was the only non_lag android tablet I've used besides the Nexus 7 which is even faster. I've also not had force closes and the Primes browsing was ruined by that. Of course it has other issues because that's how Asus rolls.

no. mine came with .21 and i wasn't getting .26 OTA. you download it from the ASUS site, unzip it and put the resultant zip on the root of an sdcard. slot the sdcard in and you'll get an item in notification that there's an update available. bam.
search the forum for detailed instructions.
THAT SAID - although .26 is MUCH better than .21 IME, i still have performance issues with the 700. not so much that it's sluggish - but that the digitizer just stops accepting input periodically. it's definitely a software problem and it's definitely frustrating. haven't sussed out any culprits yet.
doody.

Apparently, dolphin is a bigger botnet than chrome. And that's saying something.

By botnet do you mean the tracking? I mean, we are on Android, it exists for Google to increase their ad information capabilities. It is what it is.
I don't use their sync service, and I don't like their regular browser at all but the new Dolphin beta is pretty amazing. It might be the fastest mobile browser I've ever tried.

I have, for some time, regularly watched TV shows during workouts on an iPad using BT headsets to avoid the bouncing cable.
I recently switched to using my TF700 for this but there is a noticeable lag between lip movements and spoken words reaching my ears that is *not* an issue on the iPad.
So is this an Android issue or specific to TF700?
Is there any way to fix it?
This is using Google's Movie Play app with purchased content.

no this only nvidia chips set i have the samsung galaxy 3 and the tablet 2 android 4.04 no problem running snap dragon and texas chip set no problem i am taking mine back next week
Ok, so I kept reading about this bluetooth lag and how some are saying that it's an Nvidia problem, so I tested with both my TF700 and my Nexus 7 using the same apps (tried both DicePlayer and the Play Movies app) and found that the issue is *not* Nvidia, since there is no bluetooth lag on the Nexus 7, which also uses Tegra 3. I get the lag from both apps going to the same bluetooth device on the TF700, but no lag on the same bluetooth device on my Nexus 7.
So, it obviously a *software* issue that can be resolved (and hopefully will be).

I too have updated to JB and am experiencing BT audio lag on both a set of stereo speakers and an ear peice on everything except the you tube app. Games, DLNA movies, Netflix and local movies all lag. I was extremely happy with my Infinity until this. Now I just want to send it back to Amazon.
Is there absolutely no fix for this?
Well, I'm glad I didn't wait for the JB update to return mine. Now if only the PadPhone 2 had a keyboard and no BT audio lag!
For now I'm stuck with an iPad 2 for movies. Works well, but zero tinker factor.
SOLUTION for VLC player
SOLUTION. In VLC go to preferences >audio output>audio track native
Completely exit VNC a launch it again.
No lag muhehe...

It is the standard behavior and the limitation of Android stock browser. Any flash-based streaming services running in the stock browser will stop working the moment you switch to another tab or another app. With Chrome, audio streaming service will still work in the background, so you might want to avoid videos.
Ok, thanks
