[Asus Transformer TF700] jdefi3ebuggdsf32:
So we all know about the performance issues that this tablet is facing in a production state.

And lets go into more details here.

To see the exact cause of the problem, software or hardware and / or both for that matter..

Tools used for testing.

Antutu benchmark

Device performance

Interestingly enough this device is using much older kernel version (2.6) and the other device (sgs3 uses the kernel ver 3.0) for comparison.

imageshack dot us/gal.php?id=q5qukt7W2NHe0ujL2ueYnKqWpZqcpJifqZSnkdXjzZs

SGS3 scored Ram speed of 509MB/sec

TF700 scored Ram speed of 177MB/sec

pdadb dot net/index.php?m=specs&id=3534&view=1&c=samsung_gt-i9300_galaxy_s_iii_16gb__galaxy_s3

Wait a minute that doesn't sound right, should the TF700's DDR3L SDRAM be inferior to SGS3's LPDDR2 SDRAM both being 1GB.

imageshack dot us/gal.php?id=q5enkt7W2NHe0ujL2ueYnKqWpZqcpJifrJenkdXjzZs

As for the results for the SDcard on the TF700 what can be concluded is that either the nvidia system on chip storage issue or kernel driver being the culprit.

What do you guys think?
[Asus Transformer TF700] marcomsousa:
I think that an update will solve this problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ray3andrei:
DDR3 1600Mhz vs LPDDR2 500Mhz that's bananas.. the tf infinity has the edge by quite a lot what the gs3 has is the dual channel config maybe testing tools aren't yet optimized for DDR3 or 1600Mhz or both, but updates are the thing we are all waiting for

[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
If I remember correctly the Prime has DDR2 while the TF300 has DDR3 (and therefore, the latter had *somewhat* improved I/O). I find it hard to believe (on the one hand; on the other (cynical) side, it might be probable ;) ) that ASUS would "regress" to the earlier, demonstratively faulty setup in a device that costs a significantly higher amount of money than either of the previous devices. Obviously, the latter case would be the only situation in which updates would not be beneficial; in all other scenarios I can think of, updates should be beneficial in alleviating the I/O issues, at least partially.

EDIT: Thanks, demandarin, for the correction: the Prime had NOT a different memory channel configuration, but carries DDR2 RAM instead of the TF300's DDR3 RAM. Also, in the newer user experiences, the TF300 doesn't seem to improve that much on the lags, etc. as seen on the Prime. That would invalidate the stance of a ' regression' in relative performance between the TF300 and the TF700, given that, ultimately, the Prime indeed is significantly faster on the whole.
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
300 has ddr3 like the 700 but its alot slower. where did you see that the 300 has dual channel configuration? that's a first, never heard or seen that one before.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
As I said, I could remember incorrectly.

EDIT: I did, as the Tegra 3 chip only supports single-channel memory, as referenced on several websited (Anandtech,for example).

Wow, I'm up against some resistance here... Thanks for looking into the TF700 forums, demandarin -- it's very much appreciated! we could use a little help here and there! ;)

I'll try and find the link to the review that reported that spec. I was quite amazed, and it made me hesitate to the Prime as compared to the TF300. In fact, so long that the TF700 was available before I made my decision, hahaha! (I was to be a late buyer of the Prime, granted.)

EIDIT: I can't find the reference, so that's one statement I will happily retract. Sorry for the inconvenience and confusion; I stand corrected.

The only good this is that it made me wait for the TF700, which is a decision I'm not regretting so far, issues notwithstanding.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Einride:
The TF300 and TF700 having DDR3 instead of DDR2 really only comes into play for the GPU. With the TF700 they bumped it up to 1600 MHz to get the juice needed for a 1920x1200 display.

For "normal" use, the difference is miniscule. The different SoCs used (T33 vs T30/T30L) makes a larger difference in performance in most cases . I very much doubt that the RAM used plays any major part in the IO issues people experience. That's gotta be either a Tegra 2/3 limitation (since Anand noticed it even back on the Tegra 2 TF101) or a firmware/software issue that's yet to be solved. I'm inclined to believe it's the former since it's still not fixed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Well, if that's the case we can at the least put our minds -- and our hopes of improvement ;) -- to rest.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Hopefully there will be someone who would want to exchange his/her TF700KL (Snapdragon) for my TF700T (T3) for a little extra when it shows up ;8)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
So here it is folks - after about 30 different ICS leaks Sprint has officially released it for the Epic 4G Touch!

History of Official OTA Announcements:

7/11/12 approx. 11:00 am CDT: Source Released on Samsung's Site.

OTA

will

be FF18 based on revision note.

The recommended thread for source discussion is here.

7/12/12 8:45 am - Sprint officially announced OTA on blog.

Link is here.

8/22/12 9:53 am - Sprint officially announced update FH13 by OTA.

Link is here. Available by Kies and OTA.

10/10/12 8:58 am - Sprint officially announce update FI27 by OTA.

Link is here. Appears to be OTA only.

Link to FF18 Stock + Root ODIN One Click (from sfhub):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229

It has been confirmed that this package matches the OTA released on 7/12. Use this for rooting.

Link to official OTA (on Google servers):

http://android.clients.google.com/p...bbe3997e3067.SPH-D710_update_EL29_to_FF18.zip

Credit to devinrovell for posting the link!

Qbking77 has also put together a video on how to install it here.

Important Notes

Bugs will be in Post #2, including our confirmation that the emmc lockup

is still vulnerable.

.

Post #3 will contain links to leaks, ROMs based on leaks and then those based on source.

Link to sfhub's EL29 ODIN One-Click (in case you want to go back to GB - kept by popular demand)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Bug Reports for OTA

Will be monitoring and adding as I can here.

eMMC Bug Status:

Unsafe

at kernel level due to existence of offending option.

Analysis and initial verification here. (Posts #679 for analysis, #680 for verification.)

Users are recommended to continue using GB for factory resets/wipes or installing a known "safe" kernel such as the one in the first post to avoid potentially locking up your internal memory card.

Those that should experience this from doing a factory reset and/or wipe please PM me as I will be tracking any such issues.

Devs using this source should remove the option to render the kernel safe. (Please check sfhub's notes on how to make safe other format/wipe points such as update_binary.)

Edit: See first post as one is already out based on source; others were already safe based on AOSP and sfhub's notes.

Swype Issues

Users are reporting issues with Swype after the OTA.

Confirmed solution:

1) Go to Settings > Applications and select the "all" tab.

2) Scroll down to Swype app, tap.

3) Select clear all data

You will lose saved Swype data but functionality will be restored. (Thanks to many who posted this in Pgs. 16 & 17)

Wi-Fi Sleep Issues

Sfhub summed it up greatly and provided a link to previous discussion - I'm pasting that here for reference:

I also have a guide in Q&A for some custom wpa_supplicant.conf tweaks that have helped people on ICS. Feel free to look if interested.

Battery Issues

A lot of people have been mentioning battery performance and how it has dropped.

The CW (common wisdom) has been to suggest the following course:

1) Back up your phone contents.

2) Use sfhub's FF18 full Odin OC to wipe out /data and give yourself a clean slate.

(Normally a good idea whenever you do this kind of an update)

3) Turn off 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc and do a test battery drain.

If you get really lousy time here you may want to replace your battery.

4) One at a time start reintroducing your apps and functions.

As each may work differently on ICS it's better to do one at a time so you can identify what is draining the battery.

5) Once cause of excessive drain is found try to limit use.

For me it was leaving 3G/4G on when I don't need it. I turn on manually as needed.

I also leave BT, GPS as I only use < 1% of the time.

Please PM or note any bugs if noticed so I can document here - thanks!

I'll get some videos up very soon for manually updating and such.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocket321:
This post is now deprecated - please see the OP for download and or flashing instructions.

If you get the OTA prompt to download - please follow these steps to help out your fellow XDA'ers:

Steps to find OTA Link:

Download CatLog from the play store (free). Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dcatlog+android

When the OTA update is prompted you can look in the log cat results and find the direct Google download link URL. May take a bit of digging through the logcat but its not hard to find. Once you get the URL share it with others here. This way anyone who wants the official OTA can pull it down rather than wait potentially several days for it.

Edit: It will probably start with http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/sprint_samsung_d710... to give you an idea of what to look for.

If anyone posts it here are steps to flash from EL29 stock: (note, this won't work if have a custom ROM, or if you modified any of the stock apps e.g. if you removed bloatware its not gonna work)

Steps to Manually Install OTA:

Rename the file to “update.zip” (without the quotes - make sure it isn't update.zip.zip)

Move the file to the root of your EDIT: SDCard on the ET4G

(Per results of others, stock recovery only looks at the root of a SDCard, not internal storage)

Shutdown your ET4G

Disconnect any USB Cable

Boot your phone into Recovery Mode

(Push and hold the the Volume Up + Power until recovery screen displays.)

Use Volume Down button to hightlight “apply update.zip”

Select with "home" button
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DCRocks:
Got a noobish question..

I got my GF the SGS3, and want to switch her over from the ET4G.

I would still be able to install the ICS OTA update even after I deactivated the ET4G, as long as I used the one click ODIN setup that typically gets posted in the Dev section, correct?

GOOD GRAVY!!!!! You mean they released an OTA update with the emmc bug? That's freakin' scary! I guess they weren't listening to our devs after all. :( I guess the OTA won't trigger a full factory reset, but what if some poor schlub needs to for some reason? :shakes head: That's a shame.

In the rdf thread, jaysonp stated he had OTA and posted his build stats. Though not a screenshot, if what he posted was true and correct, am I correct in my assessment that the OTA is the same build as the FF18 leak and we already have it? Or do we need to wait for someone to pick apart the OTA to confirm?

Do they need to dig into the code to see if things are the same or would a simple md5 hash check accomplish the verification?

For all who would like to have Stock ICS Email with Exchange support, Here you go!

To install the Stock ICS Email app:

1. Turn off Fast Boot and Root your phone

2. Install Root Explorer.

3. Clear data and cache in the HTC Email app ( I recommend freezing it in Titanium Backup)

4. Download attached EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk

5. Using Root Explorer, drop them into the System/App folder and reboot!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace King 34:
You need to be on gingerbread to flash CWM 4/5(I recommend CWM 5 for no errors during flashing)

Download the latest gingerbread firmware for your Phone and flash through Odin and after that you can put CWM recovery onto your Ace.

Otherwise the Best solution is to flash Custom ROMs.

But you will need to be on Gingerbread to flash Most of the released Custom ROMs so better flash a gingerbread stock ROM through Odin and then you are good to go.

Follow this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21912336 though I'm still not sure if it works now when ICS is out. But feel free to try.

Another way is to flash .42, root it, install CWM, then find prerooted CWM backup of .62, or that someone make .62 zip, like they do rom's and make it root-ed. And install any of those.

After both of those you can flash .62 kernel so that you have.

Hi Guys I just wanted to ask, Does the GPS sends data to unknown sources like your personal info or how many apps you have and which etc. Or it just communicates location between the Chipset and the satelites and nothing else?.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overheadsmash50:
I'm pretty positive it just communicates with satellites...

btw. GPS stands for Global Positioning System.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I don't know enough about GPS system to answer your question fully. But before you download apps it states the permission the apps have. Location permission probably means it will know your WiFi, cell and GPS location. You can use LBE Privacy to prevent the permissions, or PDroid, but that required rom patching to work. The only app I allow to have location permission is Maps.

In addition, new phones also use the Russian GLONASS satellites in combination with GPS.

Just another idea...maybe we should have a topic dedicated to people who have the cables and be willing to help people out and where they are. Worked good when I had a vag-com for my VW.

Odin didn't trip the flash counter either. I found that out when I was going to flash cwm.
