I went out and bought a micro HDMI to HDMI cable at frys the other day. It shows the picture and all but the xoom lags like none other when I put it in. Even a short swipe of the screen makes it pop up the add new widgets, wallpapers and so on. I was wondering what could be the problem with it? Its a non-rooted wifi only xoom.

I picked up a the cord and it worked great.
The only issue I found was neither tv I tried it on could adjust overscan. On one tv the size adjustments were greyed out? and the other didn't respond to changes to picture size.
I will test this when I get my cable this week, should have by Tuesday.

Does your TV have some sort of smoothing like running at 120Hz or 240 in some cases? If there's a "game" mode then usually that runs at 60Hz without a delay because it doesn't have to interpolate in-between frames.

Confirmed this works just change your AV setting on your tv and find the one that works best.

Glad that helped.
Well I tried again today and I found the reboot problem is ONLY with the Youtube, but not with any other applications ... can somebody confirm if they has issues watching Youtube through HDMI !
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.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3813436?start=0&tstart=0
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.

Hey... so I bought the SGT2 7, the garnet red, 8gb version, JB 4.1.1, and have a couple questions.
1 - The speaker placement is different than most pics I've seen, and even in a different place than the case that came with it! In most of the pics the speaker is on the front of the tab, at the top of portrait mode next to the camera. On my tab the speakers are on the edge, at the bottom in portrait mode and there's 2 of them at each corner. Also the display model at Costco had the speakers on the bottom edge but they boxes showed it on the top front. What's up with that? Did they change the position of it? Is bottom edge the newer version? Do you think it's better on bottom edge or top front?
2 - The main reason I bought it is to use in my car to replace my car stereo/nav unit. I have a 64gb card in my phone that has a lot of music on it. I would like to be able to control that music using my Tab and stream the music from my Tab to the car via BT. Is that possible to control the music that's on my phone and have it output via the Tab? I'm having issues streaming audio using BT from my phone to car, haven't figured out the issue yet so I'm hoping it will work with the Tab, otherwise I'll use the aux cable. I do want the music output to be from the Tab so the phone can stay in my purse unless I need it on the charger.
If it makes any difference I will have the Tab tethered to my phone, rooted HTC Rezound, so that I can use it for internet radio, navi, etc....
Also, heard about TabletTalk. Found DeskSMS. Any rival apps? Suggestions?
3. I saw an older post that said IR wasn't working on custom ROMs, is it working now? That's the other reason I justified buying this, it is supposed to be my univseral remote for all my audio/video equipment at home, working pretty well except it seems the only "other devices" are Apple TV and Roku. Would like to use it for Xbox too since I use that for streaming from pc atm. Is there a better app?
Not planning on rooting the Tab until I'm sure it's going to suit my needs. Costco gives me 90 days to play with it and decide if I want to keep it, so that's nice.
Thanks for any help.

To send send/receive SMS from tablets, laptops and desktops you could take a look at PopMyPhone. It uses email to bridge between the phone and any email capable device so there are no additional apps required on the tablet. Search the Play store for PopMyPhone

Yeah, I had it the first time I plugged it in then it disappeared. Then I kept unplugging and plugging back in then switched ends of the cable around and still nothing ever again. Came inside and tried my earbuds and had no issues at all.
The main reason I bought it is to use for my car. Ugh. It doesn't make any sense. I can see there may be reasons why bluetooth streaming might be an issue with my phone since it's rooted and running a global leak, but even that works with the cable no problem.

I recently got my Nvidia Shield for Christmas and upon installing the ATT LTE data Sim I seem to have a crackleing sound when using data. It does not make the sound while not using data example just playing music or games but it will if I'm listening to music and say... Search the web or anything like that. The noise doesn't happen when using WiFi or listening over the tablet speakers.
I have another sound problem that occurs seldomly when playing music over the speakers (both with WiFi and LTE). The tablet makes a, what I call, transformer like noise; the noise to the best I can describe sounds like a medium tone zap not high pitched.
Does anyone else have these problems and how do I fix them/do I need to sent this one back?

I get the digital sound stretch/squelch "transformer" noise you're referring to sometimes. I'm not sure how you'd fix that: I think it's a quirk of this tablet.

I don't have the crackling happen to the speakers only the squelch.
I get it some times, I've had it happen when there are a lot of apps going, and if an app hits high cpu load it seems. It'll do it for a moment, and clear up for a while. Closing down the backgrounded apps seems to help me. YMMV
Edit: You running latest update? I noticed it start after the 5.0.1 update.

I've had this same issue on every version of the OS. I've had the tablet since a week after release in August and have run every update on the tablet and still get the noise, sometimes it is rather loud. It seems to do it more when stressing the tablet, I used to have Real Racing 3 on the tablet with the graphics modded to run at their highest, it would occasionally freeze up, and when it resumed, the speakers would squeak nearly every time.
I may not have just noticed it prior. But yours appears to be the same that mine is doing.

Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with their bluetooth? Mine seems to be ok for a while then starts cutting in and out to the point I can't listen anymore. Seems to happen every time I use it and with three different radios. I plan on visiting the Sprint repair shop but wondered if I was missing something?
Having the same issue, I've already tried deleting the bluetooth cache, un-pairing/re-pairing and even went as far as to boot into recover and delete the entire cache.
Nothing seems to fix the issue, still cutting out like a champ. Starting to consider going back to the note 4.
Same problem here when I connect to my cars bluetooth radio. Also the network connections seem to be all over the place as well..

I have no issues with Bluetooth whether it's in my car, through my wireless headphones or using my Gear 2. I'm loving this phone. The bluetooth connection is actually better on this phone than my Note 5.
Also...Nearby device scanning. I shut that off as well and it has helped. Still, I'm getting occasional dropouts, but it's tolerable.

Agreed. I'm still having far too many dropouts/interruptions/skips/pauses etc.... to call it a final release. I listened to music that was on my device and still experienced the dropouts/interruptions/skips/pauses. Has anyone else experienced Pandora speeding up toward the end of a song?? Almost like the song is sped up to compensate for the delays/interruptions??
