[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Does it load fast for you? I often experience a bit of a pause until everything is sharp. It prevents it a bit from being a fluid reading experience for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
It's like one second with typical scrolling or maybe 2-3 if I move much further in the document suddenly (normally it pre-renders the following pages). I've tried reading the same pdfs on my dad's iPad 2 - ReaddleDocs generally works fine, but still it was slower than RepliGo with these.

Is your experience different?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
No quite the same. Wasn't sure if this is normal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kronies:
I am guessing the 1 gig of RAM is slowing it down. I noticed that me TF201 was slow with multi page high rez PDF's.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
LOL. 1GB is enough and it's not about RAM anyway, I have some lags with rendering huge pdfs when jumping through the whole file on my i3 laptop as well.

If you want performance no matter what switch to CPU governor called "performance", but it will most likely kill your battery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I'm a fairly avid reader, too, and have tried a lot of PDF/EPUB readers from the Market/Play Store. RepliGo is indeed faster than ezPDF, but I can heartily recommend Mantano as well (as well as the "best apps" thread). I have opened 300MB pdf with it, and although it is a tad slower than RepliGo on opening it, it does provide a bookshelf, and it opens the PDF on the page last read, which to me is an important plus. It features collections as well, which enables you to organize your reads a bit, and enables me to hide my somewhat more technical literature (mostly medical and (bio)chemical stuff) from my more leisurely reads like gaming magazines and so on. Like it.

As far as daily use goes, I'm not really hindered by any I/O issues when I browse XDA or so -- I'm not really into general browsing (although I have StumbleUpon, I rarely use it when on the go). Processing mail and smaller office dcuments (for me either word-processing or spreadsheet) are non-issues and work pretty much flawlessly (as long as you discount the apps' own quirks, of course ;) ).

The screen indeed is wonderful, and as sharp, vibrant and luminous as you could possibly ask for in an Android tablet. Purely based on its specifications, the iPad 3 has the upper hand, but if you read up on the reviews all over the web, the difference is minimal at the worst case scenario for the TF700, and, in normal use, they perform identically, perception-wise.

I have to (partly) disagree with your co-worker, however, on the "how often do you..." statement: when you watch documentaries or movies while commuting (like I do), you will have to replace them every once in a while. You can do so in either a piecemeal fashion or just watch the larger part and replace it in one go, but in either case you will run into a relatively slow data transfer rate. I tend to do it one go, but then I o it right before I go to sleep (or something alike ;) ) and put the tablet under the bed -- Total Commander will keep the system awake as long as is needed to complete the transfer, and the system is hooked up to the mains anyway. Believe me, you do not want to stare out the entire session if you're transferring 24 GB of files from either the network or an external memory card to the main memory storage...
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
With the statement about total commandar, if you are transferring files, it stops if it goes to sleep?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Also, how about movies?

Watching movies from the store and netflix as well as any movies you put on there?

Not stutters or anything like that, how is the streaming experience?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kronies:
not if you have too many programs open. I did notice a huge difference with PDF's switching the CPU to performance mode with the Prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Android removes unnecessary processes from the RAM if it needs more. So 1GB is enough. You could probably force it to its limits but for what reason?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Exactly, this is what this thread was basically about, just everyday normal use, not benchmarking and putting it through the ringer.

Did I read that correctly in a post above, that even though there is stuttering with PDF's on the TF, the Ipad 2 experienced the same issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] das0527:
Flawless.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
have you done any movies?

How is that experience? Play store, netflix, and your own?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
One rhing which isn't really nice is that the Youtube videos are a bit blurry. However that's not the fault of the Infinity.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Seriously? Is it cause of the streaming or the app?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
It's because the app streams in 720p and the Infinity has a 1200p resolution.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kronies:
I didn't know that about Android. I guess I always assumed that you could max it out. As far as the OP's question, I will be using the tablet as an e-reader, web surfing, emails, playing some games, Netflix, basically a media machine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Einride:
Some app icons, pictures and various app resources tend to look horrible too because of the high resolution display. It'll improve as (very) high resolution displays get more common.

The TF700 is GREAT for video though. Great looking display!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Great band in your avatar...

Still looking to see how the performance is just watching movies, either in play store, netflix, or your own.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
That sucks. I use YouTube all the time. :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
I do to. This IS a daily function for me. I dont really watch videos though, but I will find Howard Stern clips and play them while I work.

So I guess this is not a huge deal, but I do use youtube throughout the week to watch tech videos and other time wasting stuff :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
It's not that bad. Just not so nice as it would be in Full HD.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
Ebook reading experience

So I finally had a chance to play around with my new gadget.

I have never had a chance to use ICS before as my previous Android tablet did not get upgrade (it was Samsung Galaxy 10.1). I could quickly tell the amazing screen resolution of Infinity when compared to my old Galaxy tab and iPad 2. Menu swiping is very smooth. Though have not had a much chance to do browsing check, Chrome on ICS runs smoother than on my iPhone 4 or iPad 2. But browser test is something I have to do more to tell whether truly better or not.

I have been struggling with ebook though. It's not all negative but it feels like larger PDF files are struggling quite bit. When I say large its somewhere above 60-70MB. I have 400MB+ pdf as well. I tried Mantano, RepliGo, Adobe PDF (as couple of you suggested), and ezPDF. Mantano don't even open those bigger ones I get ANS. As I recall this was not a case with Galaxy 10.1. ezPDF, Adobe PDF and RepliGo opens but still slow but perhaps RepliGo is the fastest of all. I wonder at this point if these are coming from underlying issue of Kernel i.e. famous I/O issue. Since I have already sold my Galaxy 10.1; hence, no way to confirm this, I don't recall having issue opening large PDF with Mantano on my older device.

Now positive side is large epub seemed to open much faster. Previously Mantano took almost a minute to open my 400+ MB epub with TOC. Infinity did this in 10-20 seconds. This is one thing though makes me confused if its truly due to I/O issue as both files seem to have the same size..

In any event, my ebook reading experience is still not quite optimal...
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Total Commander will keep the device from sleeping as long as the file transfer takes. Only after it is done will the unit enter (deep) sleep mode.

Mantano opens everything I throw at it, but I did notice that it is usually just finished at the very moment the ANR message pops up. When I subsequently click "Wait", there it is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
Mantano now got a beta for newer version with key features including epub page turning effect and PDF fast flings.

Epub page turning effect is AMAZING. iBook does this perfectly. I have seen tons of ereaders attempted this and always lag, some are just page turning animation nothing as natural as iBook. Until now...

PDF fast fling is super fast as well. I don't know its because of this effect, but PDF seems to be much more smooth now with Matano on infinity. There is still time for text focusing but text are initially rendered with less sharpness and still readable. The key here to me is that they decide to wait until placing focus after a few seconds so you can zoom in/out, swipe pages without any lag. Before when you zoom in it hangs until text focus occured. Also, my large PDFs like 400MB opens in no time.

Basically, I was wrong about I/O issue causing this. Or if so, whatever Mantano did it here bypassed the issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mheller91:
Hey Everyone,

So I was being impatient and wanted to change the Density of my LCD on my Nexus 7. I changed it from the stock DPI to 170 using LCD Density Modder on the Market. Ever since reboot I have not been able to get past the google screen when you first turn on device. I can get into bootloader as well. My bootloader is unlocked and device is rooted if that helps.

Is there any easy way to recover the device besides a adb, or fastboot method? If not, what are the adb, fastboot commands to flash the OTA image to device from my PC?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redmonke255:
Download the nexus root toolkit, it can turn everything stock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mheller91:
I have the nexus root toolkit, but don't you need the device powered on to put in usb debugging mode, etc? All I can do is hit google splash screen and get into bootloader, recovery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redmonke255:
There's buttons that say revert to stock, I believe those work in recovery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiithepeng:
+1 just unlock and reflash
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mheller91:
Whenever I try to flash stock + unroot I get error message, "Windows cannot find 'C:\\data\gnexwug_DLnX.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

Im not trying to type in anything, all I am doing is trying to restore to stock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remydlc:
did you make a nandroid backup?" i am goign through the same thing right now. I am goign to restore from backup.

To change the desinty, it must be manually done in build.prod i assume. LCD Density modder might not be compatible, yet.

edit: Crap, i cant boot to recovery for some reason :/

edit2: it seems the only way to boot into recovery now is from a ROM manager application. Ijust finished restoring using the Nexus Toolkit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mheller91:
I finally figured how to get SDK going and restored via nexus root toolkit. Thanks guys!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damienleetobin1976:
Hi,

I stupidly did the same thing and am now in the same situation. :crying:

Can you tell me how you finally got it sorted?

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tremblingwater:
Personally,

i booted into fastboot (all buttons if i remember correctly), then hit up the Tool Kit, go to advanced > temporary recovery, From there, i just restored my nandroid backup, or if you have any roms on there, just flash that.

You could do that, or once in fastboot and connected, you could just unlock, which will wipe everything.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damienleetobin1976:
Hi,

I tried this and went for the Unlock route but after a restart it now just seems to be stuck at the google splash screen.

Is it usual to take this long?

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theusername:
So what program is everyone using to change the DPI without getting a black screen?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
Just using a file explorer (specifically, solid explorer but root explorer should also work), navigating to /system/build.prop, and changing the number ro.sf.lcd_density.

changing that particular number's easy, and the last app I tried somehow managed to make a second build.prop inside the same file. So yeah.

Don't forget to backup your build.prop (preferably externally as well, in case you need to flash it) before trying this. And/or make a nandroid.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tremblingwater:
Im not sure, i dont want to advise something that is wrong, but, no, it doesn't take extraordinarily long. How long has it been?

I would boot into fastboot again and try the other route (provided you have a rom on the device or hopefully, better yet, a nandroid)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesbra:
If you're using the cwm recovery from the toolkit you must be plugged in to usb to access cwm from the bootloader menu. From there you can reflash whatever you want to fix it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damienleetobin1976:
Yep, this is how it got it back and running last night.

I then used root explorer to edit build.prop and it worked like a charm.

Thanks all

[Nexus S Android Development] smblkc:
That I don't know. Did you make a nandroid prior to flashing? Did you try booting to recovery via the hard buttons (vol up and power) to get into recovery to either restore or try to reflash?

I know that when I flashed this particular ROM, it did take a long time to boot the first time (longer than most of the others which I tried). However, it did complete boot and I don't have any problem with it not booting.

I have had to wipe the system clean and start from fresh before by re-rooting and re-installing a recovery. You may need to do that. You can find info on how to do that here at XDA or another Website (which I won't post here but can send to you via PM).
