Updated to JB in Denmark yesterday. Runs like a charm! :victory:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrtnthrsn:
Like a new tablet

So far very good. A lot smoother and faster. Browsing experience is like another world.

Before the update, lately the freezing and rebooting had gotten to be so serious that the tablet was useless. Especially when playing vide. This is gone now.

Got a little worried right after the install, when the tablet would freeze just right after reboot. Noticed that it did happen right at the moment the CPU booster (sorry forgot the name of the app) gaining root access. Uninstalled and problem solved.

I'm on stock and succesfully restored root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper after the update.

I think I'm gooing to be liking my Transformer Prime again :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
Flashed the JB release (by craigcagomez) manually since my BL's unlocked. It feels so-so, actually. Better than ICS by far, though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThiaiZ:
So far the biggest step from ASUS in an attempt to save its reputation after buggy ICS.

Manually update using my own method after red triangle (rooted but locked Prime).

My prime runs now as it was supposed to since the beginning, without the need of 10 different "tweak scripts".

It is fast,smooth, no ANRs, good browsing, very good 3D game playing(still use "directory bind " on my heavy 3D games, running them from microsd card"), handwriting or drawing is a lot better than before(wave diagonal lines are almost gone), not one single reboot since the upadate(used to get like 3 every days).

Thanx ASUS, you are now on the right direction.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] steveaitch:
There's something odd with home screen scrolling. On first boot you have to slide to switch screens but then later after doing 'something' it works again touching the right or left of the screen to scroll.

IMAP mail no longer suffers from the issue where rechecking for mail would result in a long wait where nothing happens for a minute or two. Not sure if this is linked to wifi driver improvements - on ICS, particularly the earlier builds, I had issues where long-lasting TCP/IP connections would stall forever until the app (hopefully) decided to time them out. Wifi really is more stable at last.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
I think Polaris Office got upgraded to 3.5.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chillaxx:
Just installed 50+ apps and games, played some online music, played n.o.v.a. 3, played beach buggy blitz, and played Horn. All without anr`s and no games crashing. Didn't even reboot. Everything still feels snappy. I'm beginning to fall in love again with my TF 201.......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristijanmk:
Ok this is my first time writing on xda even though i have been reading and using the forum since i bought my prime back in january.

i installed JB two days ago and since then my prime has been performing as a new tablet. No more ANRs , everything works faster and smoother, havent had

reboot since the install, i have around 150 apps insalled , tested shadow gun, zen pinball riptide evefything works perfectly, used stock browser , chrome, boat browser and havent had any problems with any of the sites i have been visiting on daily bases.

The screen flickering which was apparent while using some apps is gone, all in all JB update feels like a great refreshment and again it puts the prime on top of the list as a great tablet both as design and performance for day to day use.

I must say i am very thankful to Asus first of all for a great support with the gps issue even though this tablet is not ment to be mainly used for gps, but they came up with a solution and send it to everyone for free. I am mentioning this cause i am from Skopje Macedonia and never before have had this kind of experience with a tech company in my country, i bought the prime from one company and received the gps dongle from a different one which is the main distibutor for Asus in Macedonia.

So to have a working JB on the prime after just 3 months from the announcment is a great accomplishment and shows that asus has a great atituded towards its customers, i just wish some of the other tech giants had at least a small amount of the devotion that Asus has. On the other hand there will be always faulty pieces and that is the part of every production, the main thing is what they do to over come those faults, but from what i could notice thru this forum i think asus does a good job.

Again i am very happy that i bought the prime, and since then for my daily need of internet, email, connecting to my office pc, and a ton of other things i use my prime, i barely use my laptop or pc, only for complicate design oriented stuff.

I hope i dont sound too much as a supporter for Asus, i am not connected in anyway but i am just satisfied customer and user who can make most of the good things that this tablet offers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Laurentwb:
Mostly happy with JB that I installed this morning.

Only 2 things :

1) Screen rotation when I'm on the "desktop" is really slow. I saw few others reported this issue and I wonder if a solution was found.

2) I lost root :( and would like to get it back. does anyone know how to ?

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
I see lots of people are pleased with improvements to browser and game-play. I am also. But video playback is also much better. TBH the problems were more minor irritations with tearing and the odd dropped frame. But I have to say now the experience at both 720p and 1080p is as smooth as you would ever want with no hint whatever of previous niggles - that's streaming (via BubbleUPnP) and played locally with MXPLayer. Since their latest update optimised for our hardware I have used nothing else but I imagine the others are now fine too?

If our tablets had behaved like this straight from the off I'm sure people would have been singing their praises from the rooftops. And I certainly hadn't been expecting so much from this update. So from me it's a "Well done, Asus!".

My only gripe is the strange slow rotation response and, unless I am missing something, they have done away with the ability to turn it off??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
factory reset is the oft stated solution to laggy screen rotation.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Laurentwb:
Thanks.

Do you mean wipping all data and re-installing all applications ? :eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mgmCube:
Does anyone know how to get google/gmail bookmarks in the stock browser?

I did have them after the 4.1.1 update, but sync was broken.

After a factory reset I can't seem to be able to add them again.

It only works if I install chrome and add the bookmarks there.

In stock browser I only see local.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yoursexyhero:
Hey how did u get nova working it keeps saying not compatible after jb update
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justcookiesncream:
I've noticed that if you've got the "Disable HW overlays" in the developer options checked, and those JB animations just flies through like a Gnex no more laggy animations and overall performance seems to have improved
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 6666:
Factory reset before the update, updated both tablet an dock and couldn't be happier. A little faster maybe, but definitely more stable. Used to have tons of force closes and havnt had one in two days of use. :). /stock unrooted
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chillaxx:
Didn't do anything. Just reinstalled the app from play store. Just works. Didn't install it from actual store but from "my apps" section in store.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djmcnz:
Well, it seems to have made my tablet usable again. If it stays like this then I suppose I can write the last six months of ownership off with some hope!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I just installed jelly bean on both my phone and tablet this weekend and Omg i never wanna go back. It's such a huge update for both devices. It feels like it's the update that benefits the user the most since I use android (froyo). Everything is faster and smoother and the animations are gorgeous! Also stuff just works as you would expect it to, folders widgets etc.

On the transformer Prime it also seems to have fixed the gaming issue which was about my only gripe with the prime. Now I'm 100% happy with it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] proziumwtf:
JB works great on my prime - no ANRs, everything runs smooth, most of the games that had glitches and freezes are ok now. And yet I'm looking for a way to downgrade without unlocking - I want to go back to ICS .28 root my device and do the OTA again. Does anybody know if that's possible ? I might have to ask it in the Q&A section but I figured I could do it here and get some feedback.

Google Now JB TF201

Hi,

Google Now is pretty cool. But activating voice search while saying "Google" doesn't seem to work. Do you guys have the same issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] powerarmour:
Two days now into the JB update (after a factory reset), and wow it really has given my TF201 a new lease of life!.

I did have my doubts that Asus would be able to pull this off, but shame on me, they've have done a marvelous job and I geniunely feel that this device is now running as nature intended (apart from the obvious hardware wifi/gps issues)

Stability is just superb for me, not a single ANR yet, and the only bugs I've noticed are very minor (wallpaper sometimes reseting itself, potential extra battery drain) but it's generally made it so much more smooth, it's just a joy to use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunoloule:
My Prime updated automaticaly this morning. Just asked if I wanted the new firmware and I said yes.

After so many complains, I was afraid.

But it seems a better tablet with JB. Not one force close ou app not respond. Much more smooth. And that's the big diference to me. JB add some minor features, diferent layout on some things. Google Now needs some days to tell.

What I enjoy most is Chrome. Until today, everyday I tried to use Chrome but it was very laggy and gave me lots of ANR. Today, with JB, I only use Chrome and it was very good, no problem at all.

It is like no major changes in features, but major improvements in the way everytinhg is more smooth, quick and (until now) no crashes. I like that!

I allways read a mountain of complains about Asus Prime, but apart form the wifi and GPS issues, I never experience any problems. And Wifi is not that bad, because it never gave me problems. Although the sinal of Wifi is not as strong as it should be, it never stop me of doing anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
It will only work when your on the main page of Google Now. On the search bar it will say something like Say "Google" to activate. After you say something it will take you to the results. You won't be able to say Google to activate voice unless you back out and return to main Google Now screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wwr8bz:
What I've found is that I can no longer type quickly on the android keyboard. Its like it cant process the taps as quickly super frustrating oh and they changed the sound with each press
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] snapa55:
Anyone else having a problem with Google Talk? The video chat constantly drops out on me every 5-15 minutes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
Well, I'd say the JB ROM is a definite improvement... it's definitely smoother than stock ICS (thanks to Project Butter) and the GPS on my device now locks much quicker even without the GPS dongle...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
It is definitely an improvement. I have had couple ANRs with the default browser though and it seems to lock up every now and then as usual. Other than that, the update was probably the best to date. I am a bit afraid that this is also the last update we ever get.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sahilcc7:
Okay, now everything seems to be going smooth. before it was quite laggy. It's a great tablet now, everything works as it should have from the beginning.

If only we didn't have those silly wifi and camera issues I'd be super happy. I'll just RMA sooner or later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] strategus:
Same here. Can't for the life of me figure out how to do it... help!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vittogn:
Not bad!

I got straight from ICS to JB with no wipe (root kept) via OTA.

I'm pleased about the update. It is as stable as ICS (never got a single reboot or ANRs) but a bit more snappy and smooth.

Unfortunately internet browsing (both stock and Chrome) improved but not to the level of my Samsung GS3.

I'd say now that this is the best we can get from Tegra 3 and quite frankly, I will no longer buy this chip as it is proven it is worse than both the current Exynos and Snapdragon S4.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felisek:
As many people before, I noticed improvement in the stock browser. Now it seems to be much smoother than Chrome. Pages still load rather slowly (in comparison with, e.g., a Windows laptop), but once loaded scrolling in the stock browser is much smoother.

I found a very good example of a web page to illustrate the difference: http://www.radiotimes.com/tv/tv-listings. Try it in Chrome and stock browser and see what I mean.

Having said that, my Linux desktop computer and my Windows laptop load this page in a fraction of a second. Stock browser in TP takes about 7 seconds to load it. Sigh...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sly.cooper:
I have been using JB for last 2 days and I am not that impressed. I had tried CM10 beta on HTC sensation and it was super smooth and was looking forward for it on prime. I had faced sometimes and sometimes felt that earlier ICS version was better. Stock browser takes very long to open up pages as compared to PC. Overall it is OK but not what I thought of it.

WIFI using 802.1x EAP issues

Hey guys,

Updated the other day at home, all works well, WIFI on home network perfect as it always was.

Come to work today and connect to the work WIFI, an enterprise security using 802.1x EAP and nothing. It fails with "authentication error".

I have done the normal checks : work password isn't expired or locked, all the settings are the same. And the wifi signal is strong. Yet it won't connect,.

Anyone have/had troubles using their Prime specifically for corporate/enterprise level connections?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Try a factory reset ;) It does wonders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alanboss:
OTA upgrade worked flawlessly for my on friday. I took the opportunity to perform a factory reset as well.

Performance is solid,, smooth and now a shear pleasure. i only have one gripe, and that's that i was hoping the screen sensitivity would improve when using my jot pro stylus. I use autodesk sketch pro and was hoping this would be more useable. So its looking like i may still need to use the app which allows screen sensitivity to be adjusted. Why this could not be allowed as part of the tablets standard settings i do not know.

But all the games that were causing me issues now run, i can even play sim city deluxe which i have never managed to get of the ground even.

Well done Asus, i can now sport my TFP with pride.. its the tablet i always wanted and im looking forward to many more hours of use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Anyone having the slightest issue should do this. You can't expect an upgrade like this to work properly if you just carry over all your old junk!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felisek:
Am I going to lose root, kept so far by OTA rootkeeper?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] point_pt:
Before you try the the factory reset, try a Cold Boot (With the Prime Disabled, press the Low Volume and the Power buttons in simultaneous for a few seconds). You don't loose anything this way.

My Prime become very sluggish after the update, and i did this to solve the issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vittogn:
I hear you.

On my SGS3 the scroll and pinch is super smooth wile the page is loading as well.

Is the small hole close to sd card slot the same?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] isaw:
Oh joy, appears to be a known issue : http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=36638
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slowatsch:
I never had big issues with my Prime... BUT... it seems the multitasking part was really improved. The switching/going back to home screen stuff is really snappy. Also the "task switcher" opens much quicker. So the performance feels really improved. I caught my self this weekend switching between apps verry often, just because it felt better than before :P

I used to have random hic-ups from time to time, none so far.

Does this new unlocker only work if you don't have your pad pin-protected? The circeled unlock disappeared after first use. Now I'm back to the Num-Pad for my Pin.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leebrunet:
Still doesn't seem to work. Never saw "Say something" on prime in GN.... Also, in portrait mode, Google Now isn't availible on "Unlock tool"

thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] astrodomine:
after JB, i'm able to use hdmi out to a DVI adaptor on my monitor. it never worked before... nice :thumbup:

a question though, after JB, there's another Power Saver option in settings, which has System Performance options, there already was one under Asus settings, and these seem to be independent of each other... whats the point of adding this?? :confused:

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
I think one is the setting you want it to run at when there is battery and the other is the setting the tablet will force it to run at when when its nearly empty.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mystril:
Yes I agree to Factory reset your Prime after JB update. It does wonders.

1. Remove ICS and other patches junk

2. Clean Installation

3. Root is kept so long as you have OTA Rootkeep it during ICS -> Restore it after Factory Reset

Result

JB is truly intended as it is for Prime. Although I/O remains subpar, its a improvement that mitigates the common complaints ANR/Freezes/Constant Lag etc people face.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
Back on ICS I pretty much had to use a lot of tweaks to make it livable. Sio scheduler, some tweaks to launch at boot and ****, but with craig's JB rom and the three first tweaks he has in the OP nothing more is needed! It's actually SMOOTH! Good job Asus!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Absolutely know what you're talking about :D With gesture control its even better :) double tap with 4 fingers to switch to the last app, feels soo natural and the animations are beautiful.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jtavera:
Everything works perfect!! no more rebooots... great animations, fast... niceeeee
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] baronb:
If you factory reset can you reinstall Adobe flash easily?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I just did a backup of it with Titanium Backup. Worked perfectly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
You get to keep root after? I just did factory reset and looking at Voodoo OTA RooKeeper I have all the check marks but "Root permission granted" remains unchecked.

Any clue how to get it back?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
It appears the partial root issue on your Prime. Please to the first post for the link to regain root from partial root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Craaaig_:
This update has made me so damn happy. my prime runs beautifully now. I have yet to experience one screen flicker when playing games. The real test was playing nova 3. I was able to play for as long as I wanted with no crashes. then the android app sale came and with JB installed I took the 25cent plunge and got both Horn and The Dark Knight. Held off previously from buying them when they first released because knowing the Prime and android apps in general I was just going to get ripped off with a force closing embarrassment. not so with the Prime and Jelly Bean. Horn runs smooth and I haven't experienced any crashes thru about an hours worth of game play.

Hallelujah asus! I can finally game on my tablet!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] strategus:
Google Earth still garbage with JB

Despite all the improvements in other areas, one app that still delivers frustratingly poor performance is Google Earth. Can barely spend 2 min on it without it getting laggy and freezing and just plain maddening. Unless I'm just falling for the hype, I should expect more from a "Tegra 3" device than constant freezing while rendering simple 3d buildings.

My GNex phone puts it to shame, sadly.

The other annoying symptom of all this for me is that after my factory restore (to play it safe), I can't get my stock browser bookmarks to return. I thought they'd just re-synch automagically???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
i

i think this has something to do with caching on the internal memory (earth) gonna check what happens with data2sd...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chillaxx:
Anyone notice that if you use the volume buttons it "wakes up" the tablet? Is there an on/off option?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ziocomposite:
Only happens to screen security set to "none". Using anything else prevents waking the device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Stefan662:
I waited for this one too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
The same issue here

Hi the same inhere - especially in web browser virtual AND HW keyboard working reaaaaly slow - more accurately - it takes eternity from hitting the button to showing the letter on screen. PLUS Keyboard doesn´t pop-up in Facebook app. when klicking "Add comment" I think it´s known issue - and reason, why 4.1.1 TF 700 update was delayed. They are happy now, because in TF 700 the keyboard issue was solved. PLUS - when you try to serch certain word on stock web browswer it always force closes

Anyone else have this keyboard and facebook issues???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chillaxx:
I've now just noticed that the device wakes up when opening it from the dock. This is something i also haven't seen before? Like this one. Is this something that is also done with screen security?

Edit: I've set my screen security to PIN and the wake up on opening from dock and volume buttons is still there. Think it's a new feature on JB. Haven't found a way to shut it of yet(but for now i don't want to either).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jemz0r:
Oh God.. After all the crap to get this FW successfully loaded onto my Prime, it looks like another update is possible?! :eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
I was stock, locked, and rooted on .28 and had nothing but problems. Many random reboots in a sitting, screen tearing and jitters. Screen corruption. Overall just piss poor performance. I updated to JB and lost root and I was very sad, but JB still sucked, no more reboots or screen issues, but performance still sucked big time. My Motorola Razr seems to be WAY better running JB than this thing, and JB isn't even out yet officially for my Razr, heh.

All that changed when I did a factory reset. Now I love my TFP, I love JB on my TFP. I was going to Craigslist this dumb thing... not anymore. Performance is WAY better and I have ZERO problems. I'm kinda thinking I'm not going to try and root it. I don't see any reason to do so since I'm just stock and locked and it seems like I've had nothing but problems since doing so.

So if you hate your TFP, try a factory reset. Just my experience anyways... :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThiaiZ:
it should perform like this to everyone after a factory reset on JB, but some people still can't understand.
