Gary Key/ASUS:
I was hoping that you could come on here and address the Wifi/Bluetooth issues that the Infinity has...the same issues that the TFP and 300T also suffer from. ASUS has been quick to address some issues lately, such as the I/O problem, so I was hoping there could be some dialog about the progress or outlook for this issue too.
The issue I am talking about, just in case someone might not have heard, is the issue with the BT and Wifi where the Wifi connection degrades to nearly unusable, or drops out entirely, when you are connected and streaming data to a device via BT. Some examples of this would be playing Pandora and streaming to Bluetooth headphones, or even out to your Home Theatre receiver. When I do this, my internet connection drops from 24Mbps to 2.5Mbps, and then it trails off from there as I let Pandora/IheartRadio/Streaming Radio play...there are intermittent cutouts, the speed trails down to under 1Mbps, and then at some point completely shuts down the Wifi. Personally this is my biggest issue with this tablet, and it was the only reason I returned my TFP(3x), and it is especially frustrating given how lacking the stock speaker on the Infinity is...the tablet volume doesn't get 'loud', and the speaker is facing away from me.
So given the recent firmware update addressing and fixing some of the Infinity's issues, I was hoping you could update us about the progress or prognosis for this BT/Wifi issue...is this something that will ever be fixed, or is this something that Transformer 300T/Prime/Infinity owners need to accept??
My other question, which is more important IMO is...since I think I know the answer to the above question...is there any chance that you can have ASUS add support for USB BT dongles?? This was recently discussed in another thread, with someone questioning whether or not a USB BT dongle could be plugged into the keyboard USB port, and be used for the BT so that it is used instead of the internal BT, therefore bandaiding out of the issue and being able to use BT without having the Wifi dropout. I have tried it, and presently the dongle is not recognized, and I could not find any apps anywhere to get it to work...unfortunately. If I were able to get this to work...either internally or via dongle(sucks having to settle)...I would have ZERO issues with my Infinity, but as of right now this is still a huge issue for me and I am still contemplating returning it and waiting for something that works as it should.
I know you are a busy man, and I appreciate the work you do and how you personally address customers and there issues on here, and I am just respectfully asking you if you could revisit this issue...this time for the Infinity. And especially address the dongle workaround.
Thank you.

From what I read it is hardware issue.

I have read the same, and given that the issues persist with the Prime 8 months after release, I don't expect it to be fixed...but would like to see the issue addressed a bit further.
But really the thread should have been titled something more like 'Attn: Gary K/ASUS: Please add USB BT Dongle support'...as that is the more important part of this thread, as I am fairly certain that if this could be fixed with the hardware 'as-is', it would already have been on the Prime and 300T. The thread is more of a request for dongle support...dongles are less than $5 on eBay, and I would be happy to plug one into my USB port when I want to stream via BT to headphones/stereo, if that is what I have to do to maintain my Wifi connection speed and avoid fallout.

Almost all devices have BT and wifi share an antenna.
I can confirm the WiFi issue.
My wifi goes from max (full blue) signal to a grey wifi symbol. When it does, I have to disconnect wifi and reconnect and it works again for some time.
I haven't used BT yet.
iPad 3's are affected by this problem as well.
I think it has something to do with Bluetooth and Wifi transmitting off the same 2.4GHz spectrum. Try adjusting your router settings as according to what these folks did to resolve their issue.

Lets hope Gary from Asus is also looking into the OTA issues that some of the TF700's are having. This OTA thing is something most stand tablet customers are not expecting nor would they be likely to find a site like XDA there at least some user solutions are available.

Is your wife doing exactly what you're trying to do on your Infinity, that is stream video over wifi with the device while listening to the audio over paired Bluetooth?
How is your router setup at home? Are you broadcasting b/g/n?

I tried my infinity watching Netflix and listening to my jambox. Low resolution and choppy then stops. Then I took my wife's ipad3 and did the samething. Perfect. I have a Linksys E4200v2 with 9dbi antennas and I was 5 feet away from my router which since I called Comcast about my connection has improved to 32mbps. I set my wifi to 2.4ghz only, N only, 20-40mhz and wpa2 security. I sent the infinity back to B&H for a refund. Figured it was hardware problem. I will be buying another one but I do feel hesitant which isn't a good thing. I like the Infinity but I want to be able to watch and listen to music without choppy sound and resolution. For $600 that's what I want from my Infinity. I will try with the next one.
I tried channel 1,6 & 11 but I got better performance from auto

I can't believe more people aren't concerned with this issue, esp given how inept the onboard speaker is.
I'm having the same problem and think it should be addressed too.
I found my bt dongles but I hope if they do come up with something that its a nice half moon shaped Bluetooth dongle that fits along side the dock because the one I have sticks out like a sore thumb
1/2 inch.

Dude, I hear you loud and clear! I've been taking heat for months trying to just warn people about this but everyone who is in denial just comes back and says nothing is wrong. The people in denial will just tell you their tablet is perfect and everything plays perfect. Just before, sitting outside trying to watch some old TV shows on Netflix and couldn't get 10 seconds of clear video when using a small external BT speaker. MAN that is just frustrating. And YES, my ipad does NOT have this issue. My connection speed goes from 24mb/s to 1.9mb/s. I may as well just turn the tablet off. All the Asus tablets you buy will have this same problem...so when you get your new one you can test it if you like but it will have the same issue. Don't wait to long to return it.
I own a Samsung galaxy nexus and a galaxy tab 10.1. Both of the devices playback videos without Bluetooth audio lag. My newly purchased Infinity has at least a 2 second audio delay. This issue needs to be addressed now. If Asus cannot come forward with a fix, I will have to return this tablet. I do not see a dongle as an acceptable fix when my other devices don't need one.
no problems
I just got my tab 3 days ago. I watched Netflix while using a Bluetooth stereo headset with no lag audio nice and synced and great video quality.

Your lucky you have one without the defect. Yes, the Wifi/Bluetooth fallout issue has been around since the original released prime. My original prime had the issue, regardless of any sort of antenna mod. Another prime I bought sometime later didn't have any Wifi/Bluetooth fallout issue. I have went through two TF700's atm. First, had the issue along with some screen defects. I returned it. Second, no screen defects and no WIFI/Bluetooth fallout issue. My personal judgement is that its not and issue that can be fixed via any sort of software/firmware fix. I believe it is hardware. Something to do with the quality of chips they are using or something else (my guess). Asus has not come clean on the issue and I don't think they ever will. My advice would be to return the tablet and try another. GL

Ditto. I am streaming Netflix right now to my LG bluetooth headphones. Zero lag and zero dropout. I was not able to do this with the Prime.

So, I'm guessing you guys can watch YouTube without audio lag too? Looks like mine is going back.
Interesting. I just tried it. Youtube lagged considerably. Audio and video were not in sync. Went back to Netflix - watching Jim Gaffigan stand-up comedy and audio and video were perfectly in sync.

I'm about to return my TF700 owing to audio lag when watching videos using Bluetooth headsets.
Can anyone tell me if the JB update for the TF300 fixes this problem? If so I might hold onto the Infinity in the hope that a JB update will fix this problem.

One selfish little bump before I pack this lovely - but flawed - Asus up and return it. Was really hoping to hear that Jelly Bean would cure my woes.
Asus finally answered my tech support inquiry. They say the bluetooth audio lag problem will be "improved" in a future OTA. Improved, as in not fixed.
So I took my TF700 back today.

Yes, JB has made bluetooth audio nearly lag free. I have a tf300 on jb & a tf700 still on ics and when comparing the same bluetooth head set, playing the same youtube vid, the difference is quite noticeable. Its not perfect, but its close enough not to be annoying.
Also after I got JB, my Logitech M555b bluetooth mouse that would disconnect every 5-10 minutes now works perfectly.

I'm hopeful the 3G/Snapdragon version is truly lag free. Some theorize it's a Tegra 3 issue and the Lenovo S2110 doesn't have this BT audio lag and it's Snapdragon. We shall see...hopefully soon.
It was suggested that those with great Infinity TF700s who are happy with them post about how great their tablet is. I've been saying that mine (32GB Amethyst Grey with the TF700 AG Keyboard Dock) is a fantastic device and I wouldn't trade it for anything currently on the market.
My tab is flawless, hardware-wise: no loose screen, lifted edges, light bleed, dead pixels, scratches, etc. It is rooted, unlocked and has TWRP custom recovery and ZEUS v4 ICS stock-based custom rom, which makes it so fluid and deliciously fast. I'm using Browser2Ram, which seems to have improved browsing (which wasn't bad anyway). I really am not experiencing I/O issues (RL Benchmark shows 19 overall, but random writes is still slow) and antutu scores consistently over 14,000. Navigating the Netflix app sucks, but playback is a delight. The Infinity screen is so nice, it's hard to watch a video on anything else. I do have some issues with apps that are not yet optimised for the screen resolution, but that will come in time. The keyboard dock is just an integral part of my TF700. I can't do without it. I go all day with lots of screen-on time, browsing (much time on xda!) and I've never yet gone to bed without some charge remaining. Standby battery life is astonishing.
I installed Google Now and I keep forgetting that the Infinity is still on ICS. It is performing like a champ and is as good as my three other Jellybean devices. Oh, and I usually operate in powersave or balanced mode! The custom rom and various system tweaks are responsible for this improved performance. In my experience, custom roms/kernels will always trump stock. I understand why people are hesitant to unlock and lose their ASUS warranty, but I bought a 2 year Square Trade warranty with coverage for accidental damage, so I feel pretty good about my unlocked state. It's well worth it.
Well that's my happy story. My advice is: don't put up with bad hardware. Exchange it if there are any major issues or minor issues that will bug you. keep exchanging til you are satisfied. Software-wise, there are many improvements coming your way. Be a bit patient for JB and later updates, or be adventurous and root/unlock and flash the great rom we have now...there will be more to come.
Me too lol.
le rustle face
initially, i started having trouble with slowness and force closes. but after a hard reset, everything seems fine now. I recently had an issue with Maps, but the problem has gone away.
I have some minor light bleeds that I can live with, maybe 1-2 game crash in about a month of ownership, tablet is still not accepting my class 10 microsd 64gb (luckily the dock is fine with it), havent tried the blue tooth and streaming yet. I overall satisfied with it and waiting to see if JB can make it even better.
Me too. I love mine. :lol: No issues what so ever.
I agree 100%
It`s built with perfection, no problem with the screen, dock etc. I have no lag or slugginess. It plays anything i throw at it. I run it just as it was out of the box. I have no problem with battery. Keep it with me all day, wifi allways active, surfing, writing, reading a lot. Heavy email user. Allways runs in "balanced" mode. Medium screen brightness. Only time i really notice any battery drain is when i stream and play my 1080p shows from my windows home server, i watch 4-5 hours at night and then i recharge, very normal for a tab. Browser sucks but thats a software issue.
When i read some of the negative comments and post over the last few days i first thought i was in the wrong forum, this cant be my TF700T they are talking about? But i really feel for thoose of you who have got problems with loose screens etc. Take that unit back to the store asap, thats not how the TF700T should be. And most of them are not.
I owned several tabs and tablet PC`s. I have very high standards and I dont stand for poor build quality, laggy software. Believe me when I say the TF700T is right now one of the absolute best Android tablets on the market. (In 2 months who know..)
I own the european (WW) version with 64mb and the only thing that explains the difference in build quality is there from different build batches in the assembly line.
For anyone that thinking about picking one up I say go for it!

+1 Here. I am having TF700 for the past one month ( Exchanged my TF201 in BestBuy) . I don't have any problems with it. Very very negligible light bleed ( i can live with it) , No lag at all. No problems with the battery . GPS works like a dream , Wifi is considerably strong and stable ( compared with TF201 ) .
Another happy user here.
Mine is also flawless. The screen's amazing, great for reading and HD video.
This is turning out to be just like the Primes "Positive Thread." With all the negitive post a few have been posting and reposting, it's nice to have a solid thread where people can express there joy satisfaction regarding owning the Infinity. I am also in the positive happy catagory very little to non exsistant LB! Everything is solid even streaming/using my BT headset for audio is great!
JB is starting to pop up as well Can't wait for some JB love!
No bugs here that weren't my non understanding of the OS or features of the tablet.
A few threads about problem devices had me pushing on the glass and thinking my wifi and GPS were under-performing.
Haven't seen any of that after 38 days of tinkering.
Hell I even left Mr Infinity all alone for two whole days!
When I flipped open the cover and pressed the button he woke up and said "swipe me!!!"
Very exciting l tell you.
Color me happy...
i want to love mine but i dont know if i just keep getting unlucky. google play force closes on me a lot ;[ . movies are fine and beautiful make sure u partition ur sd cards right. games run fine that you actually buy. other then that this tablet is sexy as f
Im also very happy with mine its perfect, no light bleeds no loose screen nothing. its also very stable.
I exchanged my Best Buy Prime last weekend for an Infinity and I have none of the issues others are talking about. This is what the Prime should have been all along. No bleed, wifi and GPS both good. Very pleased.
It's good to see a thread like this. It gets pretty discouraging reading those negative threads of problems.
I have had my Infinity since July and am loving it!
No issues with screen, USB SD card or any of the reported problems I have seen.
This 64 Gb tablet has a dock and I have stuffed the SD slots with 32Gb's each.
It just WORKS!
The only thing that hasn't been tried is the HDMI. I have no need for it yet but the way things are going, it should be good to go.
I am so glad I didn't go with an iPad!
Mine became perfect when I read in these forums to turn on the performance mode. Ever since purchasing this tablet i had it in balanced mode and didn't even consider moving it to performance mode. Once I did that the tablet became smoother, faster and were no longer having issues with the tablet. It is like having a new tablet.
I appreciate the info i have gotten in this forum. It has kept me from making a mistake in returning this tablet. I am totally satisfied with the TF700.

My TF700T with its two TF201 dock keyboards works great. I have had zero issues from the start. I use my tablet with the dock most of the time as a unit. So much so that I purchased an additional TF201 dock keyboard. I keep the second dock attached to my AC power charger awaiting the need to swap out the dock thats currents attached to my tablet. After a heavy day of usage my tablet has some where around 40% remaining with the dock almost drained. At that time I just exchange docks and I am good to go. Both of my dock keyboards are a TF201 Prime version but both were updated from revision 206 to 207 as soon as they had the tablet inserted into them with a wifi network connected. I had a TF101 and a TF201 but this unit is fantastic from my standpoint. I can only imagine how it will perform once Jelly Bean is loaded onto it.
Only problem I have with my infinity is the browsing, but I expect that will be fixed directly. Other than that my device is good to go.
Loving mine as well, netflix works great and the only problem I've noticed is that sometimes I fail to press the h key. Great otherwise, tablet talk works great for it as well. Got a neoprene (roocase) case for it which works great

Have infinity for about a month.
No problems so far.
I bought the TF700 about a month ago, and have noticed that the recording volume of the microphone is low. It does work, but it makes Skype, Google Hangouts, Google Talk all difficult to use as you have to talk loudly in to the mic for the other person to hear you, if I look at the screen and talk normally, the person on the other end cannot hear what i am saying.
Also when recording video, it does pick up sound, but even with the volume turned up full you cannot hear the audio on the recording very well.
Is this typical of all TF700s or should I be looking at changing it?
My children have the Acer A100 and that has a similar issue but its well document with the explanation being a poor quality microphone. I wondered if it was the same with the TF700 but I have not been able to find any similar complaints online.
Any feed back from TF700 owners would be appreciated.
Thanks

Might be another hardware deficiency slipped under the fence by Asus.
I'll check mine and report back.
i do skype and hangout on my Infinity and haven't had any such issues. interestingly, i DO have such issues on my iPad2.
maybe there's a mic level setting that's somehow gotten messed up? are you sure your case isn't blocking it perhaps? maybe it's just a defect?

There is no case on it, so cant be that. I phonex Asus tonight and they had me do a data wipe, but it made no difference, the kids much cheaper A100 works far better than my TF 700 in any app tbat uses the mic, and tge mic in the A100 has been highlighted as poor quality.
Anyway got an Rma number from Asus so guess ill be tabletless for a while.

Hello,
I'm also looking for an app to control my microphone. Last summer, I bought my tf700t and, suddenly, the microphone is no longer working since couple days. If I'm taking a video or using Skype, the sound is noisy and extremely loud.
Maybe I need to use the warranty, I don't know.
If, by any chance, you have a clue to help me out, please let know.

Asus Transformer tf700t tablet microphone issue
Hi,
The same is with me. Bought it 3 days ago, and mic is very low since the very first day
Didn't find any settings options to fix this. Mic is very low on skype and on gtalk both. Does anybody know if this issue ever been reported to Asus and/or Google
Thanks
I think i might have a possible reasons for the non-buttery smoothness some people have been experience with the tf700. Now most of the time i have my tab connected to the dock for typing in class, emails etc... but today i left my dock at home for the first time. Throughout the day i noticed that my tab was flying! Seriously the browser, going through the file manager, opening and closing apps. Nearly as fast as my GS3. I though asus might have sent an update or something without me knowing because this was a completely different tablet.
Once i got home i had to type up a report and needed the dock. I noticed that immediately after connecting it....the tab was not as fast. Now note that i have another sd card in the dock. What i began to notice was that once the the tab was connected, the combination of readying the the sd card in the dock for use combined with the change in the keyboard slowed down the responsiveness of the tablet immensely. Everything took an extra 1/2 millisecond. Now it wasn't "slow" but definitely "slower" than when it was not connect to the dock with the SD card.
So my questions to those that aren't as satisfied with the JB update:
1.Do you have a dock and is it always connected to the tab?
2.Do you have a micro or regular SD card within the dock?
3. Is the slowness/non-buttery smoothness you experience occur when you are connected to the dock with the above two criteria?
For those that are satisfied i want you to answer the same questions.
I honestly believe it is because of the dock/extra sd card configuration that some of us are experiencing the lag that we do. If my theory is correct, then hopefully asus can get this fixed with a software update.

an extra HALF MILLISECOND?!?! omg so slooooooowwww.
seriously though, maybe you mean an extra half second? i was using my tablet without the doc last night and i didn't think it was any faster. i'll do a little testing both ways and see if i notice any difference.

haha i was exaggerating. I just meant that its marginally slower than when dock. Yea do a test let us know if you too see a difference. Even if you dont consider it to be "slow" when docked, if it hangs slightly longer then when undocked, let us know. Also report if the SD card is inserted or not. Thanks!

Awesome looking forward to your report along with everyone elses!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
I had a play around, and I couldn't see a difference between docked or separated. Random question though...what background are you using? Do you store your background on the SD card in your dock?
I only ask because I was the same as you...disappointed in the performance after upgrading to JB. I am not sure if it is because of what I was expecting from my other devices (Nexus 7 and GN). Either way, it wasn't quite smooth enough.
It wasn't until I went hunting until I found my own answer...completely disabling my wallpaper. Just a standard static wallpaper...it wasn't a live wallpaper or anything. That is when my TF700T became as smooth as my other two devices. Love it now...but miss my wallpaper
I use Apex Launcher and disable it in there...any kind of wallpaper results in jitter at the home screen...and switching windows. Especially bringing up the notification menu. So I would ask you to check that one for me if you can...
As far as the other people in here...I am not sure that anyone else cares about the fluidity of the interface. My original thread didn't seem to get much attention...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=8821186
Let me know your results!
Same findings re. the wallpaper
Ive been using Asus Day scene live wallpaper and love it but changed to the stock asus static wallpaper and Nova is at least 2x faster
No Noticeable difference for me between using the Tab with or without the dock!
For what it's worth, my TF700 is almost always docked and this thing flies! I am using stock launcher with a static background. When I do un-dock it, I haven't noticed any performance difference. I am not using an SD card in the dock, if that means anything (but I do use a MicroSD card in the tablet itself).
I'm interested in seeing some more responses to this thread. Like I said, I have absolutely *zero* performance issues with Jelly Bean and with Browser2RAM (and the "Enable CPU Upload path" option enabled), the stock browser is insanely fast and an absolute joy to use.
I think it's also worth mentioning what launcher you use when responding - I've found that the stock launcher performs the best and is the most stable.

I don't think its the dock. I think it's the touchpad. It's very unresponsive, particularly when scrolling and gives the impression that the tablet is sluggish.
Try this experiment - instead of using the touchpad, perform all your normal tasks by using the screen instead. After a few minutes you'll realize that its plenty fast. Or try using a good USB mouse. Scrolling in the web browser is effortless with a mouse but feels like your stuck in the mud with the touchpad.
I have a high end ASUS gaming laptop and I have the same problem - the touchpad is really really bad. This just seems to be another thing that ASUS can't quite seem to get right.
