Hurrrrr yeah, thats what I mean.

Try forcing 2D acceleration under Developer Settings. I think its called "Force GPU rendering." I don't have my TF700 yet but this helps Netflix on all other devices. It won't be silky smooth but it easily doubles the frame rate on my TF201.

...but has been said to generally slow down the system, although it's theoretically meant just for older APIs, at least the benchmarks show considerably lower results when it's on.

It doesn't slow down your system. I'm sure benchmarks not made with it in mind will have lower scores but who cares? It improves the performance for many apps and that is what matters. It shouldn't affect 3D games as this setting only affects Android UI widgets.
The only real down side is that there might be an app or two out there that's not compatible with the forced GPU rendering(hence why its disabled by default). I personally have never run into an app that had issues but an app that extensively uses custom widgets potentially could.

I have noticed the same issue. The app is unusable as is...

yep, this faster product is worse than my archos 10.1 in netflix navigation. good thing there are queue managers to take care of this problem. i hated the day netflix went from a text based instant queue to this pretty shiny crappy picture list.

We had this problem on the prime too. Forcing GPU redering seemed to help, but I can say it doesn't seem to help on the infinity. What finally solved it was an update from Netflix. Worked smooth as butter after that. I'm really surprised to see it so slow on the infinity.

Postive and Negative with Jelly Bean Thread.

Hi ! I want to hear your opinions about the new Jelly Bean update. What is positive and what is negative with the new update. Also what are your opinions about the new functions .
I noticed that there is another Thread about this. My mistake. I was typing for too long.

i have use JB in a few devices already, Galaxy nexus, Galaxy S3, Nexus 7, Asus prime TF201. I can tell you right away that this version is the worth of all. the opening and closing animation of apps is jerky. Not smooth at all. The task manager to close app is always butter smooth in other devices when you scroll up and down, here is jerky. Not sure if this might add because of the 1920x1200 resolution which is 4x higher than 720p and require more cpu power. This is kind of disappointed, i really starting to think that this resolution is to much for a tegra 3.

Are you on the balanced or performance mode? From what I understand the modes that save battery can csuse this with JB very noticeably sometimes.

balance and performance. both setting perfomance about the same. tab on the setting icon, or browser icon, the new animation for JB is suppost to be butter smooth but in this version of JB for our TF700 is jerky. scrolling and pinch to zoom seem find for a jb rom. Can wait for zeus to grab this and do his magic.

Ye. I find this quite disapointing to. Its not smooth at all. I think the full hd res is to much to handle for the tegra3

From my units standpoint it is not rooted and never has been the upgrade has made it much faster. I now understand what 'buttery smooth' means. No issues at this point with the download, upgrade, app loading or functioning afterwards. Wifi works as does gps. I use Boat as my browser and its significantly faster. Not quite as fast as my iPad3 but pretty close. Scrolling web pages is without lag now at least for me. Thank you Asus for a GREAT upgrade.

I'll let you in on a little secret. Get simple image live wallpaper. It causes no lag (multipicture lwp sometimes does) and it has no cropping either. You can even set different images for portrait and landscape modes.

I had similar jerkiness and slowness after the initial update. After reading the TF201 forums I was ready to do a factory reset right after updating. Since then, I've restored all my apps and widgets, regained root, downloaded lots of things in the background while using the tab etc.. I'm happy to report It's buttery smooth. If you haven't done a factory reset after upgrading, do yourself a favor and give it a try.
Also, I had an interesting bug. My SD card wasn't recognized until after I rebooted the 2nd time after my factory reset. It's working fine now.. it even seems to be reading/writing faster than before.

positive - we can now take pics while recording with the stock camera.
negative - the stock camera has a bit of a hiccup.

Was the Screensaver option always available under Asus Customized Settings? I dont remember it being there.

Pretty cool that the notifications now show the sender and subject for outstanding emails.

So far so good. The installation went flawlessly! Seems to be much more smooth! Testing-IP

2. The ability to just say "Google" from within search and it automatically prompts you to voice search is some next level sh*t!
3. System bar lock FINALLY
4. Overall though its not as "buttery" smooth as i imagined it would be, maybe doing a factory reset will help?
5. I dont know if anyone has checked but did they update supernote and polaris as well?

1) I have the no icons on home screen bug until you flip back and forth.
2) Cool tool only shows in portrait mode for me now.

If you run into problems with apps and performance, I suggest to perform a factory reset. That should clear things up and insure a clean Jelly Bean experience. Also since JB just droped this morning, don't expect it to be smooth. The new OS needs to settle before you can truly see a difference. Just wait at least 24 hours before you praise or complain about your experience. But for the meantime, I applied a cold boot after I noticed a bit of sluggishness. Seems to have fixed that. Ill probably do a factory reset if my apps act up though.

Possible fix for choppy JB animations/transitons and overall performance

We all know that the animations/transitions for JB on the infinity are a bit choppy/slow. A possible fix I found is with Nova Launcher. In Nova settings/ look and feel/app animation, select Ice Cream Sandwich. Of course this will change the animations to ICS but I find them way better and faster than the stock JB on the Infinity. Also I feel the tablet snappier. Please share your thougths.

My animations after the JB update have been so much more smooth than ics even after just first installing it install. Even after factory resetting and not using Nova launcher for the little bit of time I had no issues with the animations at all in fact they seemed to improve slightly after the factory reset. If you haven't done that I would suggest doing so, that may help.

I believe this is quite subjective part. Some feels nearly perfect, other don't. Just like in video game some complains couple frame drops here and there, and others don't care at all.
One thing that may be helpful if you can is to show us a video clip of before and after so we know what are exactly the benefit.

I'm just saying that with this method the animations/transitions seem a lot smoother. You can try it and let me know, it would be helpful.

My animations are smooth, but web browsing is useless on website with more than a few pictures on them. I can literally wait 3-4 seconds everytime i scroll, before the graphics catch up. Bought mine a day ago, still undecided on wether to just return it.

It work!!! I was so worried. I had a friend buy this for me in the US as UK amazon is still not available and when it is, is at a ridiculous price. Got it 2 days ago and the first thing I did was to update the firmware which was available OTA so I didn't get to see ICS on it. JB was so bad. This Nova option is great. Let's see if an update fixes the issues. cheers.

I have a TF700T and a Ipad3. The iPads claime to fame is internet content consumption and that is where its still ahead of every one else in fluidity and smoothness as well as speed of loading a web pages content. With that said my TF700T with JB as its OS is close to my Ipad3 in these functions. Its far better than the TF101 and TF201 that I have had. If all your going to use a tablet for is web content then go and get a iPAD3 and enjoy. If however you intend to utilize the TF700T for all of its tremendous other features than just accept the 3-4 seconds wait and be content. My Ipad3 has nothing to conpair with my TF700T on the file management side as well as internal memory capabilities. JG has speed up every aspect of my TF700T to the point that its seeable in ease of transitions from screen to screen, application loading, use of applications. It is fare and above anything Asus has put out in the Transformer series before. Web content is only a single feature of the TF700T. The hardware features that Asus has brought into the TF700T tablet make it way more versitile than my Ipad3. I am on my TF700T 4-6 hours each day so much so that I have two dock keyboards. One connected to a AC outlet and fully charged ready for use and the other one married to my tablet. Again, if your looking for the ultimate smoothness and fluidness of only web content IMHO buy a Ipad3 and leave the TF700T alone because you will never be satisfied. If however you can find value in all of the many additional features that Asus has designed into the TF700T tablet and dock keyboard than accept the slight delay and wait patientely until Asus is able to make the OS as smooth and fluid as IOS is at this point in time.

You're so right. it's much much better. thanks for the tip. Dolphin browser is even running faster and loading pages faster.

i prefer the stock launcher instead of nova or apex. Somehow the stock launcher is all around smoother than other launchers now that we upgraded to JB. Yes, the JB animation is semi choppy but nova or apex does not perfomance like the stock launcher.

I believe one of the reasons this is true is that after-market launchers run on top of the stock launcher, so there is a double memory usage.

You can always freeze the stock launcher.

Yup, but then if something breaks in the after market one you're hosed without a launcher....well, unless you're conversant with adb shell commands.

No need for this. Go to development options and set all three animation speeds to 0.5. Your tablet will begin to fly...

Text editors lags!! only for me?

hi guys,
Since i bought my tf700 i'm encountering with this problem... text editor lags. To be more specific, i'm talking about polaris office, kingsoft office. (kingsoft is a bit better, but still...)
From what i heard/read on internet it should work smooth. The thing is that it's behavior doesn't change whatever "tweaks" i'm doing to the tablet, like changing through power modes (power saving, normal, performance), or activating the force gpu rendering. This happened while unrooted and locked.
And i decided to go root, unlocked, installed cleanROM + clemsyn's oc kernel... and guess what... NOTHING happened.
So, i'm asking for ur helping guys.

I just swapped my Prime for an Inifnity last night, and I am noticing that touch typing response feels "laggy" -- and this was not the case on the Prime.
This is across multiple applications, not specific to any one application.

Chrome has gotten progressively worse in my experience, despite tons of small updates with "performance improvements". Recently it was all but unusable. I installed the latest firmware update and it seems to be better, so perhaps the problem is the stock ROM rather than the app.
I agree that stock browser is quite good. I particularly like the gesture mode (swipe from side and you get a speed dial for the different functions). However, I disagree that its page loading times are up to snuff. The browser's much slower than Chrome (after Chrome recovers from being unresponsive for a while when entering URLs). I think some of the issue may even be only apparent, since Chrome starts rendering pages immediately while stock browser waits until the loading bar is some 3/4 of the way, but still the (subjective) impression I get is that Chrome renders much faster.

If you google android browser tests there are quite a few fairly comprehensive ones.
Most of those note that Chrome for some reason just doesn't run well.
Quite ironic considering it's my desktop browser of choice due to it's speed

Hey There,
TF700 stock not-rooted here, and chrome suck's, very laggy to change from tabs it looks like it re-render / refresh the page, and it usually get "stuck" and have to be closed, I still use it because I use it on my work notebook, personal notebook, Galaxy S2, and well, I really enjoy my favorites everywhere, but I have been using very little.
Does anyone got any improves just changing parameters on about:flags? We could do a sticky post with all the information about it, and the results of the tests.
I will give a shot when I get home, any improvements I will post here, even though I think I will change the ROM first, this stock is killing me.

Obviously it's your choice but IMO just how frustrated i got with stock and Chrome browsers on the stock ASUS firmware was rendering the tablet unusable. It was so frustrating, especially in lectures where a friend on his iPad could look through about 5 tabs before mine had loaded a page and let me type an URL.
Since CROMI-X the stock browser runs incredibly well. (AS IN IT ACTUALLY WORKS LIKE ON MOST OTHER TABLETS) :laugh:

Yeah, I know about your frustration.
I just got to the forum (to actually post something), even though I have a galaxy S2 with ressurection remix for quite a long time, just now I'm having time to look for ROM's for the TF700.
I already got notes and will research about CROMI-X and will look for some more ROM's, do you know any other? I know that changing the kernel can directly affect the performance and battery on the ROM, I guess will have to research a lot.

B2R is best - I was using dolphin - not anymore!

Let's face it chrome sucks, even with b2r. I don't know what Google are doing. The stock browser combined with b2r is unbeatable IMO.

You may need to fine tune your network speed and buffersize for a better loading and downloading. For example, hsxpa, dns, wifi read and write buffer, ipv4.tcp_mem, ipv4.udp_rmem, ipv4_udp_rmem, core.wmem_max and rmem_max=2M, tcp_congestion_control=cubic, and change your minfree a little more aggressive especially the last two numbers.
