[Q] Is your tf300 useless while downloading?

My tab seems to literally only want to do one thing at a time pretty much. For it being a quad core it seems a bit ridiculous for it to freeze up and start throwing the wait or close crap anytime an app or the market is downloading something. Another thing is with the dock, I've noticed it seems that the touch pad is really slow and laggy after waking the tab from sleep. It is fine again after a reboot but once it goes to sleep you wake it up and the problem is back, what's strange is its only slow while on the home screen inside apps it works as normal. Another thing with the dock is it appears that it stops charging the tab after the screen is turned off as in the light on the power button goes out but turns back on and continues to charge if you wake it back up. I do not have it unlocked but it is rooted and EZoverclock is installed running it at 1ghz,1.3ghz and 1.5ghz. Still has the stock rom .29. Also it was doing these things before root and OC. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing these symptoms. Thanks for reading.

I never had these problems... It may be the method you rooted it. Try sparkyroot.. I remeber my motorola defy was completely unusable after rooting with an app.

I find my Desire S better capable of downloading webpages in the background while browsing another than the TF300T does.
My TF300T is still unrooted.
I just believe that the quadcore is not put to good use (read: the software is not optimised for it). It feels almost like that hyperthreading hype from Intel many years ago. That design was a complete bust, but they only would admit that when the real multi core processors arrived.

I have the same problem. Just have to do one thing or it is laggy. Just shame for quade to be that slow! I also dont have root.

Same problem with my TF300T
When I am downloading something in the background and try opening another app or browse something, I end up with the Wait messages and my tab almost freezes. I was really surprised that a quad core tablet has such poor performance.
My Samsung Galaxy S2 does a better job of downloading stuff in the background.

Yeah my GS2 from att screams I love my phone. What's weird is I actually had the prime but had to return it due to too many defects but it never had any problems multitasking at all. You could have ten downloads running while playing a game without any lag it was a huge difference. I guess ASUS like many other companies have just not got the quality products they used too. Its to bad really. These tablets had a lot of potential. Maybe I should have gotten the Toshiba excite with the tegra instead its only $50 difference. Or perhaps this tab will get fixed in the future? Maybe we should bug the hell out of them until they fix it this is such BS to be misled like this. A quadcore should perform as such and be able to "MULTI" task with its "MULTI" Core CPU.

I did use the sparkyroot method and as my op says it has been like this since taken out of the box before it was rooted. I actually rooted it to remove some of the bloatware and OC it to see if it could perform better. My HP Touchpad with Cyanogen performed better than this paper weight.

The reason for the lag when downloading is because the tegra 3 only had single channel memory. This means all the apps being downloaded fill up the channel even though there are 4 cores. Its really a shame cuz the iPad has quad channel memory and most other chips have dual channel memory. Plus having more cores means more memory consumption.

I'm having the same problem. I had 21 apps waiting to be updated and the table was completely useless during this period. My a500 performed much better and I sold it to get this device. Looking for an optimized stock rom, but it looks like I will be returning this to amazon. I expected so much more from the tegra 3. Will wait on a better device.

What are your download speeds?
I connected my tab today to a 25mbs down/up wifi, and I opened MC3 to download the game content. I noticed that I would freeze the download from time to time, sometimes holding there for about 10 secs. I think the main problem here is the speed at which the tablet can write on disk, I have never had any problems with download freezes or lags before on my lousy 3mbs connection at home.
The files were downloading so fast that the tab didn't have time to correctly write them and had to pause the download. This is just a hypothesis, I didn't get the chance to try again. Anyone that has access to a high speed internet connection and a slow speed connection could try this and verify it. Maybe download a torrent and throttle down your down speed to see if you still get the same lags and freezes as you would on your normal speed.

Here's a picture of a cf bench I did on my tab you can see that the write speed is at 511, it seems slow ppl using the prime have reported 800+ speeds
Also check out this post and this other thread
EDIT:
More pics added of bench test using androbench

I use to download youtube videos with Tubemate. When there were multiple downloads, my tab slowed down like anything. I just popped in a 32gb card and chaged the download folder to sd card. Now, with 5 downloads also, no problem with slowing down. The internal memory's RW speed seems to be less i think.

[Q]Possibly Damaged?

Hi everyone,
My tablet has been disgustingly slow ever since I bought it last summer. I've probably installed 15 different roms and multiple kernels as well. I've mostly stuck with CleanROM, but it is just SOOOOOO slow. Even when I overclock to 1.7 Ghz, it often takes more than a second just to open the settings menu. After I use the tablet for a few hours since a reboot, any task takes a minimum of 2-3 seconds. Meaning if I click home it takes 2-3 seconds to go to home, if I open an app 2-3 seconds to open, etc. Compared to any other android device I've used, the tablet is about 10x slower.
It happens whether it is on a 100% fresh install, or days after a rom flash.
Is it possible that my tablet's CPU or RAM or something is actually damaged... or is this tablet just really slow?
Thanks

I think it would be safe to say something is not right w/ your hardware. Especially since you say it's happening with multiple ROMs. Personally, I've tried several ROMs and even at 1.3ghz, the tablet doesn't lag like what you're describing.

Your proccesor can be damaged. Soon your tablet will have totally bricked.

What can i do with a phone that doesn't completely work

I have an old Vodafone 895N, pretty good phone, fast, big, cheap but the signal doesn't work like is supposed to do.
Sometimes it let me do phone calls, messages (with a delay) but sometimes doesn't do them at all,
The phone is 60 USD, but i can't sell it with this problem and i can't use it either because the calls are why the phones are made ..
8 GB, 1 GB RAM, Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53, Android 5.0.2
I have tried to root it, to install the stock firmware again but none of it worked.
I'm sure there is a hardware problem that might be fixed but at a cost that is more then 50% of the phone itself FOR SURE ..
maybe i'll open it myself and see what's inside ..
anyway ..
What would you do with a phone like this ?

About all it would be good for is a MP3 player/radio or it could be used as a security camera in home/office or a backup camera in a vehicle if linked with a other device such as a tablet or another phone.

Does WLAN work alright? you can turn your device into an android media center.

Also I have the same problem

Question Motorola Moto G100 lag problem.

Hello everyone! I am new to this site and i love tinkering with technology, i have been following this website for over 8 years and i have had many devices and used many roms.
Either way, i recently bought a Motorola Moto G100 and in the beginning it was really fast and smooth but after a couple days the phone began to lag the entire time, be it: just scrolling through the interface or using the browser with almost no pictures in the site, PUBG MOBILE lags on low settings, Call of Duty Mobile lags as hell on low settings, normally i would not really mind if it had a weak processor and a tiny amount of ram but this phone has a Snapdragon 870 and 8GB of Ram, i tried everything restarting the phone, limiting the amount of apps that i install and i even resetted the phone 4 times and it made it somehow worse, I don't have any malware or viruses on the phone and the software it's self is really clean. As an example, 90hz on the phone enabled sometimes feels like not even 60 fps even while being on the interface, i mean it says its on 90 fps but it feels like 30? I bought it new in the store. So, things like these aren't normal, right?
Thank anybody who notices this.

Hi. Moto g100 should have good performance on this games. It sounds like your device is a clone, this would mean that maybe it was a scam and it isn't a real moto g100

Go to SYSTEM > ABOUT PHONE and look for "Regulatory Info". What comes up?
Also hold volume down and power up. In the bootloader info, the line that reads "Product/Variant:"... After nio, what do you see?

Question SLOW AND LAGGING

HI ALL,
I have Samsung s21 plus exynos 8gb running latest one ui 4.1 but it is very slow lags a lot even sometime when unlocking phone it shutter a lot and even when I'm watching videos I scroll down the status bar it lags , the performance isn't like flagship any suggestions? any lead to fix would be apappreciated ..

The only time I notice a slow performance is when the phone hot, but it rarely happen to me. If the phone is slowing even when the phone is not hot, then you probably got a bad device.
I'm using Exynos though.

Unlock the bootloader with volume up and down when it is off and connected to the computer, save all your stuff because the phone will be formatted.
Then test the performance of your phone again, it happened to me but that's how I solved it strangely, I had already formatted it many times but it was always the same so I unlocked it and that's how I managed to solve that error.

I have no idea why it is but it happened to me in the exynos version, today it works as it should, less in emulators because they are not very compatible due to their api and/or OpenGL
