[Q] Asus TF700T Wifi issues!! - Asus Transformer TF700

I hope I can get advise on this one! I just got this Asus tf700t Pad AND upgraded firmware to 4.2.1. Don't know if it is because of the upgrade or there is some optimization I need to make on the settings menu. Here its the issue. my internet service provider gives me 30 mbs per download speed. strange enough, I ran a interner speed test on my table and It can only get 5 Mbs speed download. Bare in mid that the tablet connect to my network (wifi) but it is slow! I even ran a int speed test on my Samsung S3 and somehow my phone really gets full- internet speed. it is strange but I can't find an answer as to why, how to fix this issue.!! I am already looking into unlocking this device, install Cost recovery and shove up a new ROM in this tablet. I really want this tablet to run smootly. i notice the lagging is driving me crazy as well. I have the 32 gb Asus tf700t tablet. I hope someone has dealt with this issue thus, can provide a good solution

In the WiFi settings turn off the optimization option which is to save battery. Not sure what it does but see if that helps.

Wif disconnecting and reconnecting while downloading or surfing web

Has anyone noticed their wifi disconnecting since the latest update?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
My WiFi doesn't connect after coming out of sleep sometimes. When I go to settings to check on the WiFi status, it is turned off. I've also noticed that although I have changed the option 'Keep WiFi on during sleep' to only when plugged in, it reverts back to always...even though it reverts back to always, it still does not turn on WiFi when coming out of asleep. My Acer a700 does not do this.
This has happened since latest update (26). I don't remember it happening prior to update.

I have been testing this more and more and it is happening when ever I am downloading a lot of data. I have tried multiple network settings and different networks and the same thing keeps happening. My WiFi will disconnect and then reconnect. Latest test was trying to download music from my google account to the Infinity. It starts downloading and then in a few minutes I get no internet connection. then it is like wifi turns back on and reconnects. Is anyone else having this issue. Can some others test this. I have reset the tablet to factory defaults 2X and I still have the issue.
Thanks
I have noticed this issues multiple times now on multiple different networks. There is definitely some sort of issue with the wifi...

I have had a TF101, a TF201 and now a TF700. Docked or undocked I've never had disconnects in WiFi. This is in spite of the fact that there are maybe 20 other WiFi networks visible. I guess I have a good WiFi router and do use a WiFi extender downstairs.
Bye.
Had this problem with my TF201
Set my router up to only use one channel and it helped. Used WiFi analyzer from the market to determine which channel was best.

Keep in mind that it could disconnect and reconnect without you even realizing it. I just happened to notice the wifi symbol going away and coming back on it's own a few times (one time, while waiting for a web page to reload). So, it *could* be occurring and you not even realize it...
Not a huge problem, but a problem nonetheless...

I've noticed this problem too, only after the .26 update :crying:
(coïncidence ? I'm not that much of a downloader to be considered as reliable statistics )
The only time i saw it constantly connect/disconnect is when I did a hotspot off my phone and didn't enter the password in correctly. It didnt tell me it was wrong, just kept trying to connect over and over untill I stopped it and did a "forget" then reconnected entering the correct PW this time.

I did not notice it before the update either. I did not notice any issues when downloading all my apps the day after I received the inifinity, but since the update I have had the issue trying to watch TV on the Infinity and now when trying to download my Music from google. I also notice it running speedtest app.

This issue is not "constant" - like I said, most people wouldn't even notice it, unelss they were actively transferring something when it happened... It's *very* intermittent.

How about this . . . . I have never had an issue, slow-down, ANR, crash or other user experience malfunction that I would relate to WiFi connection or disconnection.
My WiFi is rock solid! :good:
Bye.

Another one bites the dust. Check this: thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29648346
Basically since ICS google has screwed many customers. Like i have a Zyxel P-2812HNU-F3 and when i use the default 802.11g/b/n in router settings, then my galaxy nexus and infinity wifi will behave like yours. When downloading something or sometimes in browser, wifi disconnects and reconnects. Whats your router name? And also if you havent already, try going into router settings, change "Mode Select" to 802.11g Only. See if that helps. Still google screwed up when wifi works perfectly on my SGS2 on 2.3(using a custom rom on 4.0.4 which works great with wifi :S ) but not on nexus and infinity on 4.0+

Keeps restarting after JB upgrade

After JB upgrade, my tablet started consuming more RAM. And it keeps restarting. Even though I dont do hard stuff it freezes and try to restart but it gets stuck at ASUS screen. That thing keep turning and turning unless I press the restart button or the battery hits 0. There was no such thing before JB upgrade. And since this is a quad core tablet is it normal? All I'm doing is just surfing the net or watching videos on YouTube + 1-2 tasks. I did much harder things before JB upgrade but there was no such thing as restarting or freezing. Could it be because of the JB upgrade or did I do something wrong with my tablet. Anybody else has this problem? Is there anything I can do to fix that. Should I change my tablet or wait for a new upgrade or what? Would rooting my tablet fix the situation?

You may want to try the 3 factory resets trick if you haven't already.

Be advised the factory reset will wipe the internal SD card and bring your tablet back to a factory state.
If you want to proceed:
Tap on the notification bar in the lower right corner (where the time is displayed.)
Tap on the settings icon (looks like a gear or cog.)
When the settings menu appears look for "backup & reset"
Choose "Factory data reset" (under PERSONAL DATA.)
The following message will appear:
This will erase all data from your tablet's internal
storage, including:
Your Google account
System and app data and settings
Downloaded apps
Music
Photos
Other user data
You are currently signed into the following accounts:
[email protected] (that's if you are signed into Google)
Do this tree times...
After which you will be back to square one with your tablet.
Good luck!
i had this exact same issue. I was on the verge of selling it and getting something else. Then someone convinced me to root. I rooted on Thursday and have not had any issues at all. Its like i have a brand new tablet. Rooting this thing is the way to go. I know you are probably thinking why should you have to root in order to get the device to function as it should. I thought the same exact thing.

I'm so glad to hear that it's working for you!
I didn't want to root because of the warranty issues. I know it can be reversed but I just didn't want to struggle with that. I'll try the 3 factory resets first. If it doesn't help me, I'll have to root it I guess. Thanks for the answers.

Wifi reception poor and slow connection using Cromni

Hi my first tablet was a xoom.
I've optimized it a lot since I first bought it.
My father has been meaning to get a tablet as well. And so I insisted he buy an older model tablet and save money and still get a great performance since I would "work my magic - all thanks to you guys at xda" to unlock it and install a custom rom for him.
He settled on the TF700.
Ever since we got it we had a bad connection with it. Compared to my xoom its day and night. Sure its a nicer tablet better resolution lighter slimmer. But a tablet with a lowsy wifi connection is rendered pretty useless.
I was pretty confident that installing a custom rom and have it overclocked it would perform better.
With Stock CROMI JB 4.2.1 installed I've noticed improvements... it opens apps quickly and runs smoothly, its only anything involving the internet that doesn't work well..
What can I do? Is it just a lousy wifi chip? is there an app I can get? Would installing the rom onto a microsd help? (Although he would prefer the slot to be free, that's why we opted for the tf700 over say a nexus 10).
If you installed a CROMi rom - that's quite old. You should move to CROMi-X 5.4.
The Wifi connection problem is not related to the rom you're running unless you flashed the WW version although you live in the US....
I've been following the clean roms for more than a year and I can assure you, that is not where the problem is. Everybody having problems with WiFi had them for some other reason.
Approach it from the router side. Reset it, change the channel, try WiFi fixer from the Play Store, turn off WiFi optimization in WiFi settings etc. and try the tablet on a different wifi network.

Okay great thank you, I'll try everything you've suggested and post my result.
He did mention getting better connectivity staying at a hotel...
So I tried everything and not seeing any improvement.
I checked and i always had the 5.4version so I didn't have to change that.
I got WiFi fixer and turned off optimization
Router wise I tried to add device to Mac filter tried to remove fire wall and pass word tried different channel and mixed b/g settings etc.
Tried with a different router as well.
Have yet to try static IP.
Its consistent its just the range. When I,m right next to my router I have no problem. But the range is so small with my Xoom I can be outside and still get reception.
Now I,d like to return it but I can,t un-unlock it and return it to manufacturer.
I,d sell it on swappa but who would want a defective tablet.

Mhhh - I seem to remember someone resolving a wifi connect issue by restricting the router to the n-band???
If you moved up to CROMi-X, try a different kernel or reflash the stock rom and check if it is any better on that.
Have you tried the tablet on any other wifi connection than the one at home?

I am not sure if you have a poor reception or a slow internet speed... If you have a poor reception, you can not do much because of your hardware or a low power of your wifi antenna... If you have a slow internet speed, you could try browser2ram to improve the speed. I found out that the TCP congestion control choice also helps your internet speed with a poor reception. You could try westwood congestion control too see if it helps, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

Well that helped I tried a different kernel and now I have reception about a room farther. Its almost bareable. I'll play around and try the other kernels. I went with the beta one not the extreme version.
Any kernel you might recommend?
At least this gives me hope there are tweaks out there I just have to find them...
I know its not the internet though I have excellent speed tests results. And performance on all my other devices simultaneously
Also does world wide or us SKU make a difference? And how can I tell if my tablet is us vs worldwide?

Ha! That could be it! WW (Europe) uses different wifi modules. If you chose the WW option in the installer and you are in the US or CN (or vice versa), that could make the difference.
sbdags has a kernel installer somewhere (in post 2 I think). Flashing that file allows you to change kernels on the fly without reflashing the whole rom. Although you will have to do that if you did choose the wrong region.
I recommend any of _that's kernels. They are the most stable IMO and give you the best performance unless you want to tweak scheduler, govenor, OC etc yourself.
I am noticing a similar issue. I am use @_that 10 with CROMI 5.4 and I cannot get speed test to do more the 8 Mbps download. My Galaxy S5 pointed at the same speed test server downloads at 30 Mbps. I have Verizon FIOS with a 25/25 connection and their WiFi N router.
I tried changing the IP congestion settings but it did not matter.
Just seems slow. I do not have an issue getting reception just slow speeds in comparison.
Any ideas? Is this speed normal?

I hope this information helps. I have a 45MBps for my cable modem and my internet speed test is shown on average during the day about 28-30MBps and 32-35MBps at late night on my device....
Edit: Are you using DSL or cable modem? My previous DSL internet provider is very slow too for some reason and maybe my location is too far from the internet provider but I have a better internet speed with cable modem... FYI

That tells me that my device should be doing better the 8Mbps it is showing in tests Now to figure out why.
All my other devices routinely get 25-30Mbps downloads except my TF700T.

It will be fun to troubleshoot the internet speed because there are so many variables that could slow down your speed. It could be the time of day and the internet traffic of the server. However, if it is consistently low comparing with your other devices, then the culprit is your setup on your device, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

[Q] KatKiss Rom - Wifi DL speed issue

I'm back in love with my Transformer since installing KatKiss Rom. However, my download speed is about 1/10th of what it should be. When running the speedtest.net app I'm getting about 3.7Mbps download and upload was the normal (for me) 10Mbps. My dl speed should be closer to at least 40-45 Mbps. I've search for similar issues however have only been able to see problems people have with the inability to actually connect. I can connect to the network/Internet with not problem there. It's just my dl speed is significantly slower than it should be.
Any ideas or suggestions on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Sorry, forgot to add, I'm running KatKiss 4.4.4_32b

Thanks for the reply but I had already checked that. Besides, if that was set incorrectly, wouldn't that prevent any connections at all? My problem isn't a connection issue. It is a speed issue.
Try KK #33, maybe it has been fixed since 32b
Im running #33 and have no speed issues

I was thinking of doing that however I was hoping there was another option. I thought it was funny that my Transformer hasn't already informed me that there was an update available. Oh well. I'll try and get to it sometime this weekend. Unfortunately, homework takes priority. Only 10 more weeks until I graduate with my BSIT!!
Generally only stock ROMs get OTA updates, Custom ROMs need updating manually, iirc back in the days, one of the custom ROM devs did manage to get OTA updates running with his custom ROMs, but never seen that again for years
Need to keep checking the dev thread for new custom ROMs, everything is manual apart from app updates
Good luck with your BSIT

Well, tried to upgrade to v33 but still no go. Wifi speed is still about a 10th of what it should be. I'm definitely connected but not very fast. Also, I forgot to mention it in my previous posts but the auto-rotate function doesn't work either. It will open apps in the orientation that the app needs but will not switch between land and port when rotated on the home screen.
I'm going to try an earlier version (4.4.2 v26) because I've read that this might fix the auto-rotate issue at least.
Still lovin the Rom...just a couple hiccups that need to be ironed out.

Have you seen faster speeds than that with the TF101 before?
You'll likely only connect at around 65Mbps with the TF
With a Wireless G 54Mbps you get about 20-30Mbps because of overheads (Encryption etc)
That results in around 2-3MB/s real world download speeds
So with 65Mbps, you won't see a great deal more than that
Plus those speedtest apps are pretty crappy if Im honest, best to download something you get good speeds on your PC from, and test it on the TF

I was using the Speedtest.net app. Same one I use on all my computers and devices. I'm at work by my wife has the same tablet as I do however her's isn't rooted and has the original OS. I'll test her Wifi speed to be sure I'm reporting correctly. I'm pretty sure I am though. :cyclops:
I'll report what my wife's native T101 Wifi speed is later tonight.

Just tested my wife's stock, unrooted T101 Wifi speed and it is running well over 35 Mbps. 10 times faster than my T101 using the same router, same room, etc.
I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Status update:
I've tried two different Recoveries (CWM & TWRP) and two different ROMs (KatKiss and OmniROM). All have installed with no problems however I still haven't resolved the slow download speed issue. I'm still baffled as to why my upload speed is normal. Side by side comparison with my wife's non-rooted stock TF101 in the same room had normal download speeds which were 10 times as fast as my TF101.
Any other ideas I can explore?
Using 4.4.4_034 in the US I had to choose "EMEA & rest of world" to get 36Mb/s.
This amazing WiFi app might not help you now, but it could down the road: http://surl.im/PkSQn

Bit of a strange one indeed, you could try changing router settings just in case, change the wireless channel to a clearer one, as above use WiFi Analyser to check the best channel to use
Other options would be to clear the DHCP pool on the router, forcing all devices to reconnect on a new IP
On the tablet side, you could try setting a static IP instead of using DHCP
Try a different DNS server, not that it should affect the download speed, but 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are Googles public DNS servers
(Gateway is the IP of your router)
Solved - Still not sure why though.
I've somehow solved my download speed issue. I took my tablet to work and discovered that my WiFi speeds were what they should be so I knew it wasn't a device issue. Brought it back home and connected to my home wireless and found my speed issue was miraculously fixed. I'm still not sure why but I'm guessing something was reset or timed out in the router to where the tablet was now a new device. I don't know why removing the device from the network for a few hours would have a different effect than a manual reboot of the router. I guess I'll keep this in my bag of network troubleshooting tricks for the future.
Pleased you got it sorted

[Q] Tablet prone to lag and reboots - hardware issue?

Hey all,
My TF300T has been unusably slow and prone to crashes for quite some time now, and I was hoping to get some help. The amount that it reboots depends on which ROM I'm using, and the worst offender was the ASUS ROMs (all versions). I've got Omni installed right now, and I've also had Cyanogenmod installed, both ran incredibly slowly. It seems like no matter what I do, the tablet is still almost completely unusable. I did send it to ASUS once, hoping they would find an issue with the hardware, but they sent it back to me and said there wasn't an issue.
From what I've heard, this tablet should still be performing fairly well, so is it possible that the hardware has failed on this one? My friend has the same model with no issues to speak of. The only difference between us is that I have a memory card installed, but I don't think that should affect it.
Any ideas on how I can diagnose the issue, or get the tablet to stop lagging horribly and crashing?
Thanks!

Memory cards can decrease speeds (RW). Is it a class 10 or lower?

It's a class 10. I wanted to make sure to get the best one I could at the time.

Try searching for running apps that are taking up to much resources, or try the App "Greenify"
