I have 2 TF700's in my family. They both have the problem.
The stock browser and alot of third party browsers keep giving me this error "browser not responding" and then gives me the option to "wait" or "close".
Is this common among the TF700's?
Is there a solution?

I am guessing you are pure stalk? then yes it seems to be a stock Rom problem. You can usually click "wait" and it will come back but not always. The only solution I know is flashing back to ICS and rooting, or unlocking(which voids ASUS warranty), flash a custom recovery, and flash CleanRom. cyanogen, or a different custom rom.

Are you saying that many others with this tablet that are running stock asus software have this problem?
it's hard to believe since this tablet got such rave reviews.
BTW what's the difference between "unlocking" and "rooting"?

Not all people seem to report this problem but I never had success with the stock rom. And yes quite a few others have similar problem but not all. I have heard the newest version of Chrome has fixed lots of lag browsing wise, try it if you have not already. When the tf700 first came out it was the first of its kind, HD screen, Keyboard Dock, Decent sized CPU and GPU. But being so introduced new problems.
Rooting gives you administer privileges and it will make you be able to install browser2ram which increases the speed of your browser tremendously.
Unlocking is unlocking the bootloader, which voids the asus warranty, and allows you to install a custom recovery, which then allows you to install other roms. Custom roms like Cromi and Cyanogen come prerooted. Custom roms fix many issues but also create some new ones.

Your right, Chrome does work better, but Chrome doesn't support plugins like ( ie. flash) which makes some content not work.
I'm guessing rooting on the tablets are different than rooting on the smartphones since you need to install custom recovery in order to root a smartphone.
So what issues do the custom roms bring to the table?; I hope the advantages are worth the trouble.

I kind of liked the stock browser, it was working fine at the beginning, it started happening after a certain update I think.
Did you have this issue with the stock browser as well?

Rooting does not require unlocking your boot loader. It just requires you to flash stock ice cream sandwich, root, then install ota rootkeeper, once you have that done you can upgrade to the latest android and restore the root. You cannot root Jelly bean directly. You dont need a custom recovery to root ICS, but you cannot root Jelly Bean directly .
Custom roms bring few issues to the table as long as you follow the procedures. You must first use ASUS' unlock tool, then install a recovery via fastboot, and you should be good. However if you consider unlocking I would look through all the posts of people who have messed up their devices so you dont make the same mistake. As long as you have the 10.4.4.25 bootloader and a jellybean compatible recovery you wont have problems. That seems to be the main issue when people brick their tf700's. People installing jelly bean when they do not have compatible recoveries / boot loaders.

The only custom rom WILL NOT give you any trouble but 100% faster and smoother is Clean Rom (ppl called it CROMI) currently at version 3.4.4. This is stock rom with supercharge installed. It will be night and day between stock and CROMI. You would be glad and kick yourself in the bud that you didn't use this rom sooner! and your stock browser once again will be the best browser.

That's weird I rooted my JB Galaxy S3 directly, why can't the TF700 JB be like the GS3 JB....?
at buhohitr
yeah, but is it worth losing all asus support and warranty?
can they really tell I've unlocked it, even lets say for example if the screen stops working?

You can't compare phone S3 with Asus tablet. They have different hardward bootloder etc..There is NO ODIN for tf700. In S3 you need to Odin insecure bootloader in order to root and flash custom recovery. There is no loop hole in tf700 while you're on JB (Asus patched), but there is in ICS. So if you just want root, you need to downgrade back to ICS. If you're on JB the only way you can root or flash custom recovery is to unlock your device, this allow you to use fastboot function in JB bootloader to flash custom recovery (TWRP,CWM), then use custom recovery to flash root(SuperSU) or pre-rooted custom rom.

That is a very personal decision. It was worth it to me. Instead of getting annoyed by my TF700 a dozen times a day and enjoying a warranty I may never need, I now have a tablet that runs like a dream!!
And the support the dev and others on the CROMI thread provide puts Asus to shame - easily.
When you use the Asus unlock tool it phones home to Asus servers. From then on they know that your specific tablet is unlocked. Also says so on the boot screen. And no way to reverse it, btw.

I guess rooting doesn't void the warranty, but don't I need root to flash back to ICS?
What are the advantages of JB versus ICS anyway?

Personally I dont know any advantage on ICS over JB as I never put ICS on my tablet. Cromi is the stock asus rom, broken apart, then rebuilt. It contains the same layout and some asus stock apps however since it has different internals and all bloatware is gone is makes most if not all lag disappear. Yes we are disappointed but it is easily solved after you put a different Rom on it. Also the support for Cromi is MUCH better tehn any support ASUS could provide. To be mad at ASUS does no good. The only option if you are that disappointed it to send them back or modify the tablet yourself. Cromi and cyanogen put the stock rom to shame, and both have better support.
Tylor
PS: and yes to root you must revert back to ICS.

No, you don't need root to downgrade to ICS. You are going from one official Asus firmware release to another. That's perfectly fine.

You can always wait and hope for the JB 4.2 release. The TF300 got it and a lot of owners seem to report much better performance and less lag. Compared to the stock 4.1 of course....
I doubt stock 4.2 is going to be as good as CROMI is already

For me and most of us here, yes unlocking is well worth it.
and NO, you don't need root to flash back to ICS, just download Asus full firmware ICS .30 version, unzip it then copy it to the root of your MICROsdcard and it will flash back to ICS (some cases, you need to rename the file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip then boot into stock recovery in order to work) . Once you're back on ICS, debugfs root tool will help you to achieve root.
Thanks for the education guys.
Can CROMI ( CleanRom) play flash content, though?
What are the other advantages, other than being smooooge?
Is CROMI made specifically for the TF700?

During the installation of Cromi, sbdags put the flashplayer into the setup, so yes flash is supported on Cromi, by default unless you choose not to install it. Cromi is made for other devices but Cromi in the tf700 part of the forums is made specifically for the tf700. The speed is the main advantage, also it is pre rooted, and the support if you have a problem is great.

Thanks to @moreD_cn we have Linux on our tablets again. See the instructions below. I will work on a new rootfs[/FONT] real soon. For now v8.0 does FULLY FUNCTION. See the users thread for instructions!
I only quickly modified those instructions... Please let me know if I made errors. :silly:
User thread is here
Github Workdowg - TF700t-arch repo - rootfs configs and how to's on building rootfs
Github rabits tf700 repo - He has kernel and Ubuntu rootfs building stuff
My goal a the time is to keep this Arch install up to date through patches. Arch is a very cutting edge OS and doesn't take to kindly to it's files getting crossed. I will strive to make monthly base rootfs snapshots and supply an installer to make it up to date with the current patches. This will be mostly for those joining late or wish a clean start.
ToDo List:
- Power management - sleep
- CPU scaling
- Tegra drivers (At the moment they break X)
- Custom tailor rabits installer to accomplish the patching Arch will need... He has a great base for me to work off. I just need to learn the in's and outs of the Aroma Installer...
- Bluetooth
- Cameras
This is just to get the ball rolling here... This list is purposely short to allow for users to get their needs and suggestions accross to me. Through your participation, I will continue to add items YOU want and remove/switch out packages we deem are good for the whole.

New base rootfs is up for this month, as promised. Remember this is the plain Jane no wireless even install.
User thread (post #2)
Haven't forgotten the project... Just had a busy spring clean up day... I am going to try some stuff this evening...
Project on hold...
Update April 8, 2013: This project is temporarily on hold. As is the rootfs works well enough on CROMI 3.4.7. I have gotten nowhere towards getting a dual-boot to work on the stock 4.2.1 I have installed (well I got boot loops... ). The moment I can either get a bootable kernel to work or someone does, delelopment will continue...
Sorry.
ok =) i can join to the test group =) just i hope, that i don't brick my device cause i do backup nandroid/twrp.

The masses have had their say (all 21 of them...lol)
Power management it is then... I will have to do some recovery switching this week and see if I can get the pad to:
1) use less power...2) scale the cpu's (easy really)3) stop display from sleeping after standing by (SOD - Sleep of Death)4) get suspend to work (this will be the hardest and may never be workable!)
I'm positive getting the display to go into stand by is going to be THE biggest power saver at the moment.
It has been a while... still waiting for @rabits to figure out the multiboot on the new bootloader/kernel. Until then, Arch had some big changes so this weekend I will restore one of my old CROMi setups and put up an updated basic and openbox versions for those still able to use this....

Ive been trying to get linux to work for a while now, i want to use a existing rootfs from my 4.1 install, i've moved it back and forth from /data/media/linux to /data/media/0/linux, but i can't get it to see it. You said in your instructions that the compressed rootfs had to be on a microsd card, i don't have one but is it able to work from /data/media still?
I really want to help out more with this project, im just lacking in a bit of linux know-how. Im dreaming of merging the linux installer with sbdags cromi-x installer with cross-device support........... one day
I am running stock.
After 4.2.1 I have had alot of issues with bluetooth. I found a discussion post the advice was to do a factory reset. I did that process and it did not correct the issue. I then found another post that had instructions on using adb to change the permissions of a bluetooth file. That corrected the issue. However, I am still having major issues with bluetooth.
Bluetooth seems to loose connection to devices and then I have to turn it unpair/pair to get it to start again. It works then for a few minutes and dies again. This is horrible for me as I use my tablet for aviation and pull ADS-B data into it.
Not to mention root was completely screwed up in the factor reset. I used voodoo root keeper & superuser combination I had RK backup root as usual. Did a factory restore, and now root is completely messed up. No big deal. I don't use root anyways.
But this Bluetooth issue is unbearable! The only thing I can think of now is following the instructions to downgrade version (reflash) and try to upgrade again and see if the problem persists. Any ideas?

You dont need to keep a root from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 anymore. It is possible to root 4.1.1 and 4.2.1 now so that may be your answer. Try unpairing both devices, restarting both, and pairing them again. I was having issue to but unpairing them, making sure they were not in the records of eachother, and repaired fixed it. Also, I believe if the device is a PS3 controlled, the support for it has been dropped, sadly.

Appreciate the reply. I've already tried unpairing/repairing. That's the only way to get it to work for a short time. The device is a Garmin GDL-39 ADS-B (Aviation Weather & Traffic Receiver). It worked without issues in 4.1.1.
I'm thinking about reflashing 4.2.1 and seeing if that corrects the issue. Bluetooth is acting very erratic and a factory reset did not fix it.

Maybe so but it would also depend on the drivers put in by ASUS. Some people have no problems with bluetooth whatsoever but some do. Hopefully ASUS will put us on 4.2.2 in a couple months with Key Lime pie supposedly being announced/released to the world in June/July.

Highly possible. IDK. Sucks that 4.1.1 works and 4.2.1 doesn't. On my tablet, I had all kinds of Bluetooth issues when it upgraded to 4.2.1. At first I couldn't even get bluetooth to turn on, until having to the workaround mentioned on another post on here (permissions set wrong on a bluetooth library file). All this with being on a stock rom and without doing anything special (I was rooted, but never actually used any programs that required root. Just had no need.)

You must use twrp for sure. The two best ROMS out there are cyanogen mod and CROMIX. Also Hundsbuah's kernel for CROMIX is excellent. Pimp my ROM is a good app for modding but only use it on cyanogen or CROMIX.

LOL! Really.
Cromi-X is the easiest recommendation on your to-do list, and Pimp My ROM really does neat things when using in conjunction with lucius.zen's excellent tweaking guide. pjc21 has some great color modifications out there for CROMI(-X) that are really worth tryig out.
And as Tylorw has already put forward -- use Goo Manager to install TWRP and make absolutely sure that you have the latest version! -- as we speak, that'd be 2.5.0.0 -- because CWM seems to have some trouble handling Android versions of 4.2.x properly and may brick your new toy.

I've seen a lively discussion in here somewhere (probably the CROMI thread) in which our guru _that delivered the coup de grace to the ODEX/DEODEX myth -- it only matters insofar as you want to tweak and modify (specifically: theme). Once booted, the same code is run by both versions -- the boot of one of them (I believe DEODEX, but I may be 100% wrong there) takes longer because the code to be run has to be generated first. As in the end it doesn't matter -- and since I have theming options available for both versions due to pjc21's efforts -- I run whatever version comes out first. As long as you do not clean the caches and reboot, there's no speed difference except for placebo.

CROMi will make the device what it is supposed to be. Had mine for 6 months before taking the leap and I wish I had not waited so long, especially given I have extended coverage through best buy, thus making a bricked device covered via insurance. On that note, it may be worth it to look into some type of supplemental coverage for a safety net in case (heaven forbid) something does happen. However, should you choose not to, I have been researching this stuff and reading up on the thread daily (and almost everything on the 3.x thread) for the last 2 months and I have just recently for the first time seen a post about someone possibly bricking their device. Im pretty sure it was because they did not have the right version of TWRP. This speaks milestones to the quality of dev that SDBags (CROMi dev) is. The ROM is stable and fast, and if you follow his instructions vigilantly, you will most likely unlock the true potential of the TF700 and be even happier. Good luck!
Edit: As far as Kernels go, I have seen mixed things about Hunds, if I were you I would go with the stock based kernel by _that2 (as in version 2) and run that for a few days before you decide if you wanna make any kernel tweaks. His is the most stable. Afterwards, you can dirty flash over if you want to switch kernels, just wipe dalvik and cache (not factory reset) when done.
And stick with the stock launcher

There is no need to wipe anything when changing kernels, it's just wasted time.
hi all.
Some time ago i pulled out my old tf700t and replaced the screen. After that it was time
to try to update my linux partition and found a newer kernel = grate-driver/linux
on github ( cannot post a link because this is my first post) .
I want to update to that kernel but have broblem when it goes into the boot process (just a black screen) . I am using dualboot with kexecboot and running gentoo and CROMBi-kk
on it and i am stuck . is there someone who can bring me some light to my problem?
regards hedmo
The tf700t was not supported into grate until now, please see:
Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T (asus-tf700t) - postmarketOS

Some features are still not working though.

@aat596 . You are a bit right there. THE problem was not the kernels but more kexecboot support for newer kernels then 3.1.10. i have manage to get My tf700t Up and running with grate-kernel and on THE road to get a working ENV.

I suggest you to join #pmOS-on-transformers in matrix.org.
I don't have the necessary knowledge to solve this problem, they could help you there (I'm already in, by the way) .
Also, one of the members posted this:
Ion A / Rustage · GitLab
Rust based init binary for multiboot menu and kexec
gitlab.com
It's a Rust based init binary for multiboot menu and kexec (for TF201, but could be ported to other transformers), you should take a look at it, maybe it's what you are looking for.
Best regards.
