[Q] Honeycomb 3.2?

Did ASUS say anything on twitter/facebook about Honeycomb 3.2 yet?

I'm pretty sure honeycomb 3.2 is just 3.1 modified for 7" tablets.

3.2 is for 7 inch tablets but they also say there will be bug fixes. Its not a major update
" Honeycomb 3.2 is expected to offer a range of bug fixes , plus improved hardware acceleration and a number of apps are reported to be getting updates which include the music app, movies and widgets."

I am pretty sure the Honeycomb 3.2 exsits on TF101.
But I do not know when it will be released.
My friends in Asus had tested it,
They say it is more smooth and bugs less.

Hardware acceleration caught my eye... The TF101 seems to have none...

I asked on both ASUS UK and ASUS (or asus usa or something) Facebook pages when 3.2 was coming. The UK page commented on the 21st June just saying 'Nothing has been confirmed yet.'

Bumping the thread. Seems like small samples of WiFi Xooms are getting the update as per the article here, so most likely we'll get 3.2 in the following weeks.

Good catch. Hopefully something's on the way soon.

Update: I posted the following on the official Asus Facebook page:
-----
Dear Asus: Honeycomb 3.2 is arriving for Motorola Xoom owners now. Can you please tell your faithful Eee Pad Transformer owners whether this update should also be rolling out for us soon?
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/07/1...torola-xoom-rolling-out-now-in-small-batches/
-----
...and it was deleted within less than two minutes. Somebody's watching, but right now, they're not answering.
Edit: Turns out, it wasn't deleted, just hidden from their wall -- and they replied that 3.2 is in testing now and will be released!. Great news...

Last time it trailed by a week or two. I'm sure in a month we'll have 3.2 official and probably the kernels/roms from the mods.

One thng i like about the transformer is that it is almost vanilla honeyomb so it shouldn't be too hard for them to port it over ... hopefully sooner the better ... and i have to laugh the acer one JUST got 3.1

I think the deletion is automatic. Every time that I post something it is deleted within a second (as soon as I refresh the page). Unfortunately that means that someone might not be watching...

ASUS Sweden has confirmed on their facebook page that an update will come but they have not got an ETA.

over in the xoom forums there doesn't seem to be a huge number of improvements in 3.2. Probably shouldnt get all riled up about it

That's great news. For anybody who wants to see, here's the link. The post in question is at Monday, July 11 at 3:16pm, and Asus Sweden's reply was at 3:31am.

Looks like keyboard lag is a symptom of a poorly built stock browser in honeycomb. (Not Asus's fault) The Xoom has the same problem with the stock keyboard.
And 3.2 doesn't fix it.

And yet, Opera doesn't have this lag! WTF Google!

I just checked on the Asus facebook page and found this.
"Hi guys,
We’re testing Android 3.2 on the Transformer, and hope to have it released soon! When it is released, you’ll definitely read about it on our Facebook wall =)
~Mark, ASUS"
At least that's somewhat reassuring.

Gmail app is really starting to piss me off after latest ASUS update!

what's up with the gmail app always crashing on me after the last ASUS update? Whenever I open it there is a long pause and then closes down. It's useable! I updated the gmail app from the google play store but its still happening. Is anyone else experiencing this? I had the same issue on my prime and that's one of the reasons why I dumped it. This is absolutely unacceptable. An update shouldn't fix one thing and break another!

There is an update avaiable in Play Store for Gmail. see if this helps.

are you up to date on all your apps?
I use Gmail and the other mail client and I don't experience any crashing when going to Gmail and I did that manual ASUS firmware update too.

I have provlem with Gmail, too. Not everytime i open it, but it happens. After the ASUS update of course.
Before the update everything fast OK.
But the fun part is that after the update, the first few times i opened Gmail, it was actually must faster than before, and i was pretty surprised by that. After a day or two, went back to normal slow operation and sometimes it just goes black/blank, crashes basically.
Also, on Market i can't see any updates, yet (hope so).

Will Asus fix the lag and crashes on TF700T

Im now on 5th day with my TF700T.
So far it have been mixed feelings about it.
I love the keyboard, dont think i can have a tab without a keyboard in the future.
There is also no other tablet out there that have what I want.
The thing that worries me a bit is the lag on the device. Sometimes I must wait several seconds before it responds. And this is not the touch screen, becouse when I just wait, it will do what i wanted. This is not fun when you are sufring a simple webpage.
Will Asus fix this lag in the Jelly Bean 4.1 update?
How about people that have rooted (custom rom) their devices, do they have the same issues?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app

ummm, i dont think anyone on here can answer that question. JB is a google OS update.

Try resetting
Then check the firmware version.
The only delays I see after tapping are when web browsing.
Everything else is snappy as far as snappy can be under Android.
Are you running in the balanced mode?

First thing I did was root mine and freeze all of the useless crap they preinstall. Havent ever had any lag issues.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. Have had the tablet just less then a week. I very surprised at just how poor the performance is on this. Here are some of the issues I'm having:
-If I leave the web browser app for other apps and then come back to it, my web pages reload. It's like the multitasking fail that is present on the HTC EVO 4G LTE or HTC One series only not as pronounced.
-Some Flash heavy websites are so choppy and laggy. Scrolling is very choppy.
-The Netflix app is almost unusable. Scrolling through my queue seems like it's getting about 5 frames per second. Oddly enough, actually watching movies plays perfectly if I can manage to scroll to select the right movie
-Some games, even ones that are promoted through the Tegra Zone are very laggy.
I really want to love this tab. It's so great for me in so many other ways but I can't live with it if this is what I can expect
I'm rooted, not unlocked, stock ROM. I've been running in performance mode. I've tried with and without Nova Launcer. I've removed or frozen everything I dare to using TB. I've looked through this and other forums for tips on improving performance but so far nothing has helped. Do I have a lemon? Are these problems common? Is this what this tab is? Please help, really want to get this thing running like I'm pretty sure it can.

im going to go ahead and assume that asus had a bad batch of tf700t's go out. i had one with the same problem and i returned it, got a new and havent experienced the same problem again. so fast and snappy that jellybean will just make this tablet crazy.

Because of some problems i have with my pad i have decided to factory reset it a week ago.
Since than the experience is sooo much better. Didn't solve my problem though

Not sure what to tell you...
I don't have any really bad slowness.
Kind of sounds like a bad processor or gpu core or other hardware bug like maybe ram errors.
IMO wouldn't say these are common problems.
*Just curious does your serial# on the bottom of the tablet start with a C6 or is it C7?

No problems here, either. I haven't rooted or done anything to mine except install updates and some apps I like - nothing that alters it really. Super happy with mine. Sorry you're having problems, but maybe you should exchange it, as previously suggested.

C6. From Amazon maybe 4 days ago. Is that older or more known to have issues. I'm still well within my return period from Amazon. If C7 is known to be better it would be worth it to me to return it and buy it from a store where I can look at the serial number on the box first. Thanks for the replies... Didn't mean to hijack the thread but it seems the op and I are having the same issue.

You might want to return for a replacement.
I have a C7 serial and have no bugs with the tablet I received from Amazon.
No guarantees yet it might be worth shot. Amazon will treat you right.

Where do you find the serial number?

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app

The tablet serial number can be found on the box the tablet came in and on the bottom of the tablet itself on a sticker (on the part of the tablet that would go into the dock if you use one).
The only difference between a C6 serial number and a C7 serial number is that one was manufactured in June and one in July (the number after the C is the month it was manufactured in)....

Maybe we should start a new thread and track the serial #s and their defects. Good way to compare range of serials with defects and spot unfixed junk that might be sold as refurbished later

For my limited use, the lag and freezing was driving me nuts. Of course, I've been down this road before with the Prime. Eventually the Prime community found the tweaks and mods to make it fly, and I admit it was part of the fun to experiment and find ways to squeeze more performance and stability from the tablet.
My problems with the Infinity seem to exacerbate when RAM goes below 200k. I can see this from the Cool Tool widget. When I get below this level, the browser is generally unusable. I use a tool called startup cleaner to minimize what launches and tried to keep widgets to a minimum but my RAM seemed to always run low. Based on this same experience with the Prime, I changed the setting in developer options to limit background processes to 2. This does a good job keeping RAM above 400K, and when I do this it runs very well. No lag or ANRs, and everything seems very fluid.
This was an early temp fix with the Prime until other mods caught up, so I don't expect this to be required long term. However, the results are really are dramatic so far and enough to keep me from going the Note 10.1 route.

That's a good tweak, and one I hadn't tried before, so thanks!
If you're unlocked, I would advise you to run...don't walk, and flash TWRP recovery and then the Zeus rom v 4.0. This is a totally different machine on that rom.
There is also the trick of turning off animations in Developer Options or set the scale to .5. That helps with smoothness, too.
My advice is not to exchange over simple lagginess if all other hardware issue are ok. There is so much more that can and will be done on the software side, but if you exchange, what if you get a tab with a major hw problem?

TF300 newbie user

Hi XDA!
This is very exciting moment for me and I hope i'm welcome into this new family.
Here i want to share some experience as a newbie. I just bought my TF300T (blue) yesterday and it came with ICS 4.0.3.
It was smooth, zero lag and amazing when it was out of the box. Then i went back home and downloaded some apps and meanwhile upgraded it to Jellybean.
After everything was finished, the tab boot as usual but now the feeling was different. There was obvious stuttering and lag in any apps even at the homescreen.
I was sad and frustated on updating to jellybean. But then on the next morning, i did 'factory data reset', and everything is ok! The smoothness returned and much better than ICS. i was glad i did it and now i can't be happier than before.
I'm not yet root my transformers as to preserve warranty. The transformer is the best.tablet.ever!

Apex launcher crashing since update

Hi All,
Apex launcher seems to be going crazy for me since the last update. Mostly, all the icons disappear and it gets stuck(can only get going by force stopping), or just crashes out all together. The only way I can get Apex to work for extended periods is to restore an old titanium backup from a few updates ago.
HAve tried going through my apps freezing etc to find a conflict, but the prob remains.
Anyone else have this problem? Or better yet, anyone else found a solution other that using an old version?
Edit: even previous versions are stalling now, particularly after the tablet has woken up from deep sleep.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2

I've found that since the most recent update it won't launch for me at all. Crashes instantly.
I am running CM10 though on the i9300 so might be that.

Thanks for the link mate. Seems to be every launcher (even stock) is buggy now since .30 update. The icons all disappear and get stuck with a blank screen. Factory wipe, format SD and all. I'm normally not one to winge, but this tablet is really starting to give me the sh!ts.

Did you maybe go and read comments on Play Store. I don't think so.
EVERY user has problems. This is not Infinity, .30 update, or anything related problem.
It is just a bad update of the Apex itself, so just hang tight and wait for a fix.

Mate, as I said ... in the post above yours ... this phenomenon (all icons disappearing) is occurring across all launchers for me now. Even stock, and after a factory wipe. I have invested a few hours troubleshooting and researching this frustrating bug.
It will be very welcome if the next update fixes the stalling on Apex, but I'd be extremely surprised if it fixed faults in other apps.

Sorry, my bad
Have you tried cold boot?

I'm on .30 and mines keeps crashing as well. Waiting for the dev to fix it

No worries Yup, tried cold boot, factory wipe, reinstalling both stock .30 and then Zeus 4 after it showed up on stock. However, when I reinstall, my apps(170) get pushed from play. So it may be an app I didn't freeze when I was troubleshooting. The only thing I can think of to do now is reinstall, and add apps one at a time. Could take a while, because I think sometimes the bug only comes out after tab has gone into deep sleep. Sigh. I do really like this tab most of the time, but I couldn't recommend it to someone who didn't like playing with tech.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2

Well, that's the main difference between Apple iOS and Android. For Android you need brains, for iOS not really
Joke aside, i had major problems with waking my tab from sleep (1 in 10 times i locked it i had to hard boot it to "wake up"), but after the update it has never happened again. I have also not faced any of the problems people are reporting. Weird.
This is something I will never understand about HW/SW ... how can thing works for some and not for others.
Well, yeah, there are user modifications and stuff like that, but still...
I think step by step approach to installing apps is a way to go, because if all the launchers are behaving strangely, than for sure there is something SW related and it seems like one of the apps is playing a dirty game there.
Good luck!

Beta worked for me too, thanks SoulSmasher. HTC Desire S - stock ICS

Question: will beta release overwrite the stable one? What does that mean for further stable releases? Will I have to uninstall beta version and install stable one. I generally don't want to be on beta release, but it is a workaround.
Thx

Yep, it overwrites the stable one. But it gives you the option, and notification to update to the latest model. Only downside is if you have OCD (like most of us who tweak) ignoring the notification to update might bother you after a while

Had this problem on my Razr this morning when I woke up. Uninstalled on both infinity and Razr and installed Nova. No problems so far.

FYI - They've already released a new version that fixes the force closes... Problem is (at least for me), the app drawer is now *way* slower (to open initially and once it is open)...
I've reverted back to the last stable version for now - it performs much better (at least in the app drawer).

Well, after alot of mucking around it was Aldiko Reader that was causing stalls on the launchers...No idea how. Change to Moon reader has sorted it out. Still on beta Apex though. Troubleshooting can be a bit painful with the errors being so random.
