Crashes possibly dock-related?

Letting my Jellybeaned Prime go into power-save while attached to the dock seems to be risky. Bringing it back seems to fail and cause a reboot. And I've had a couple spontaneous reboots. However, at one point I pulled the tablet out of the dock, and it seemed more stable.

So, two questions - First, anyone else seeing this behavior? And second, what should the firmware version for the dock be? I'm wondering if maybe the tablet updated, and the dock didn't.

Failing that, I'll probably have to back up some data, and do a factory reset. Reboots aside, JB is pretty nice - definitely smoother and seemingly more responsive.

Is I/O performance a hardware or software issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
Hardware it seems
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MadmanJay:
Just got my JB update this morning [Canada]. So far so good... the biggest problem I've noticed is that the screen rotate is much slower than it was on ICS. Anyone else notice this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
I noticed not only is Flash still there. It works better for me. It loading up (in Dolphin browser) and played perfectly fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phroco:
Tried it again and the lock button is now working. Thanks goodness, that would have been (was) very annoying.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
Glad you posted this because I was going a bit crazy. I noticed that frame rates in games has gone down and it is definitely noticeable too. Everything else you have mentioned I have observed as well particularly the battery which gets destroyed on the performance setting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mystril:
Here is my impressions...

1. Google Play is much responsive

2. Installation has improved

3. PDF Scrolling (using Adobe) stutters less now to usable. Pre-Jelly Bean has low fps

4. Scrolling and transitions are smooth but it was smooth in ICS

Yes I/O speed will never be top-tier because it is a hardware limitation. However, it is much usable now and I am finally content with my tablet after 6 months.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
It's a trade-off.

Decrease in overall speed for stability in FPS.

Also, yea... battery life during USE is bad now. Still, I guess I'll take this over constant reboot & screen flicker/tear/tilting. This really really annoyed me in the previous f/w....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Some initial impressions:

1) WiFi is still as crappy as before. I wasn't expecting it to improve, as it's clear that the problem is a result of the back plate, but I've seen a few people claiming their WiFi is better. I don't see any such improvement.

2) I haven't gotten any ANRs yet, which is nice. Browsing (using Chrome) seems a little better, but it's still sluggish compared to devices made by competent companies that don't suck.

3) As for graphics intensive tasks, I'm not a big gamer, but I have tried Google Earth on the Prime since the update. Google Earth was literally unusable with ICS. It completely froze and locked up as soon as I used to try and look at 3D buildings in cities. It is at least usable on JB, which is an improvement. It still lags and chops here and there (not sure what good the quad-core processor is when my dual-core GNex beats the hell out of it), but it's at least usable.

In summation, the JB update seems to have upgraded my Prime from a steaming hot pile of crap to a slightly cooler pile of crap.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] powerarmour:
For me, I'm more than happy with the update. It's generally made the device smoother and more stable, the stock browser is much much better also.

I've cold booted it after a factory reset after the update, and still setting it up now, but a few hours in I definitely don't have too much to complain about. Good job Asus :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:
Multi tasking is so much smoother too
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
I've been using the Prime with JB a bit more. One definitely noticeable improvement is the multitasking button. Now it responds immediately when in ICS it opened in 2-3 seconds. Overall the tablet is much smoother now and it is actually not embarrasing to use it anymore. I dont know how much the factory reset helped the situation.

One possible bug that I noticed is that the Google Now does not appear in lockscreen when the tablet is in portrait mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
1) No improvements were or will be made.

2) ANR's are suppressed more, thankfully, but the sluggishness is a result of the same root problem.

3) These are also as a result of hardware issues that won't be resolved.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kaiserpc:
My Prime was pretty good before (apart from the occasional ANR) - now everything seems to work even better - UI smoother, Chrome faster, the stock browser is still very slow (I haven't used it since Chrome was released anyway). No pauses, ANRs, or reboots - I'm happy :)

oh and wifi signal is showing more bars - it's now full/or one off full - which is better than before
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ziocomposite:
It feels like this is what the tablet should have been in the first place. Tried chrome and it's alright, the stock browser absolutely flies!!!

And I did reset my device and it's definitely better than before.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
Enjoying the hell out of Jelly Bean 4.1.1. After 8 months of owning this tablet it is finally fun to use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bochdalek:
My Wifiperformance has increased !!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BiggerH:
Just updated and so happy that Bluetooth headphones watching avi or mkv gives no audio lag - sorted!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slowatsch:
Works perfectly for me. No ANRs, installed a big app from google play, didn't notice the installation. Also less hick ups while typing. Love this update so far.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kerapil:
so far so good. seems to be a little faster than ics with build.prop tweaks. root gone. overclocking gone. running at 1.4GHz.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JackG058:
Well, I was all prepared to chime in and say I was loving the update. But in the past hour, I've had my Prime reset on me 4 times, on different programs. For the record, I got the download yesterday morning, but just left it installing until I got home from work last night. Once home, I saw that it JB was installed and the Prime successfully rebooted. I immediately did 2 factory resets, just to make sure I had cleaned everything up so that it was a completely fresh install. I had 48 apps automatically start syncing up with Google Play, and during that time I did have one Play store ANR. But hey, considering how many apps were downloading I'm definitely not complaining about that. But tonight, I'm just logging in to programs and getting things set back up, and 4 complete resets. Now my Prime went from laggy but usable, to smoother but less stable. Any suggestions? I saw someone else mention having resets. Is anyone else resetting?

Honestly, my Prime has been pretty decent compared to others complaining, but this makes me want to go ahead and return to Amazon, unless I can find a fix.

Oh, I'm not rooted and strictly stock. Didn't want to change anything since I'm still under warranty and you never know with this device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kerapil:
what was the motivation for factory reset? i didn't do that, been using the prime for the past 4 hours without any issues
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JackG058:
I just wanted to have a totally clean install. A month ago I did a factory reset because I got tired of all the ANR's, and it greatly improved performance for me, so I wanted to ensure a totally clean base. I would think you should be able to do that without it causing reboots, but maybe not. :( And beyond this, the update is definitely more polished and smooth, especially browsing and Play store.

I might add, I have the dock and pretty much leave it attached. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. The dock was connected when I updated as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
I have updated the OP with 3 post from those links http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1909820 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1909819 which are helpful to fix the OTA failed. Enjoy JB guys.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ohwell:
Works great for me but I did notice flash and press reader are still installed on my system . I was under the impression Jellybean didnt support flash . Maybe people with problems need to try removing flash theres a reason everyone is removing support for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JackG058:
Ok, if anyone else discovers rebooting issues, others have already experienced it and there is now a seperate thread. It seems that if you have a dock, and you have an SD card inserted into the dock, that when the Prime goes to sleep and wakes back up, it reboots. Apparently this is a bug carried over from the TF300 update. Why Asus has so many issues getting their updates cleaned up is beyond me, but at least they've been pretty good about keeping us updated, and, I don't have to consider getting rid of my Prime. Now, off to enjoy some more Jelly Bean goodness.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
That nicely sums up my feelings.

Hope they work on wifi power consumption some more as it is still sapping as much juice as the display.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vakbrain:
OMG I love my TF201 even more. JB is so smooth! Voodoo root keeper worked flawlessly for me.

Thank you Asus.. Sincerely
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
Mine wouldn't change neither and I noticed it had a different city once i manually added my city and state it changed.. I like Google Now I need to play with it more. I've always used Speak to it Assistant which I love. But this seems pretty cool.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zelduy:
Love the update!!! Now my prime can play games using HDMI without crash... and i really can feel project butter!! Verrryyy smoooth...

Thanks asus!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] orcnd:
amazing performance

incredible performance.

boot time is infinitive ! or device is not booting.

there is amazing asus logo center of device aaannd just it. nothing much. i think it's beta :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sahilcc7:
Maybe somethings wrong with my Prime..but jellybean is very average for me. Scrolling homescreens is laggy, wifi worse, Google Now doesn't talk back, the new notifications look like crap.. Even the window animations are laggy. Only the app drawer button seems snappy and fast. I have rebooted several times. Whats wrong with mine?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rndmnss:
I like its performance. Even though it's not perfect yet - there are still sometimes slight freezes or lag, it is much better than what it was previously (especially when it used to freeze during installation of apps).

I also like how I can now add my hotmail and corporate email accounts - this wasn't available previously either, it would always return an error.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shagkie:
Not worth the upgrade. No flash in browser is really bad. The auto rotate does seem slow and sometimes the icons on the home screens dissappears and reappears couple seconds later. Wish there is a way to go back to ICS :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
Overall I'm happy. But add one more vote to the battery draining like a BEAST camp. I used to go days without charging with moderate usage. I've already charged twice since the update with light usage. Holy crap!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
Hey shinzz heres one to try. Got curious to see what would happen and it seems to speed things up. If you are rooted download auto memory manager, the one with the fish icon, and set it to mild and set the last setting to 65 meg and apply. I'll be damned if it didn't speed things up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PuroKaibil:
This is a few of the times I'm glad I have a rooted "unknown serial " TFP.

Buggy updates are not shovel down our way. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jamesey10:
I've used my ATP every day since I got in in December.

JB feels clunky, but after an hour of browsing, I didn't have a single ANR message. I usually get them every 5 minutes, and I know what sites to browse to make it happen. I couldn't reproduce one tonight. That said, the browser still felt slow. If I closed a tab, it's not snappy like it was before. If I went to my bookmarks, it takes extra time to load. Oh well.

Games loaded fine, didn't have a single issue. My movies and mp3s all played fine as well.

Battery seems to drain fast. In one hour, I used 50% of my battery. I used to drain only 20% an hour after heavy use.

I never had wifi issues, and still don't.

Maybe some genius at ASUS can make the butter a little smoother.

edit: have never rooted or unlocked. Everything is stock. Anyone think doing a factory reset, then going to the full update would make my ATP snappy?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scumbag Inc.:
I agree ANR and SOD have greatly improved. But I did find one site that crashed my browser. You want to know which one?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Peter Galbavy:
in summary, for me, "so far, so good".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eiriklf:
I did a factory reset before updating, and the improvements are enormous. My number one complaint was the slow and unstable browser, and now it just isn't slow anymore even by quad core a9 standards. If you don't believe me, try sun spider. Put shortly:

My ATP, stock browser, ics: roughly 2200 ms

Galaxy S3, stock browser, ics(launch firmware) : 1400 ms

My ATP, stock browser, jellybean : 1300 ms

Now that is an improvement, 2200 is really poor, and actually worse than what the tablet scored in honeycomb. 1300 however is the best score I've seen from an a9 cpu. Only things I know that can beat that is the iPhone 5 and some Intel based phones.

I've been updated and using my Prime for about a day now. Here's my experience compared to my Galaxy Nexus that has been on Jellybean for months:

Seems more responsive

No ANR's yet

Project Butter seems to not be enabled in comparison to the Nexus. Scrolling is still choppy and the transitions are much lower frame rate which doesn't make sense since both devices are running roughly the same resolution and the Prime supposedly has a better GPU and 2 extra CPU cores. Overall I'm mostly disappointed in the update but happy that at least it is not locking up like it used to.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grassey:
Un install super user or superSU then reinstall from market. Worked for me to restore root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keroma:
It is a good upgrade.

Love it a lot so far....

Finally, all the app is running fine compare to it crashed or closed automatically before.

Feel like it is a new tablet for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
I honestly haven't seen any feature that I've cared about so far. I have found out thought that JB seems to use the best part of 250MB more RAM and my device seems to lose battery overnight. It went from around 35% to 11% last night.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
I see a lot of people talking about battery drain. Have you taken a look at battery use in settings? I think this is most likely the wifi staying on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Atlas7:
i dont like prime any more! i think i will sell prime! jb+prime=crap. sry guys
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ziocomposite:
I reset mine 1 month prior to the update when it was about to go on Ebay lol. Decided to keep it until JB comes out then reset it again since Red Andy kept stopping the update. Initially choppy and still somewhat is with apex launcher. If anything else, my battery life has improved. Never had my stuff last 7hours on-screen with a single charge.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
Your signature block has a typo
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mystril:
Guys. If JB is still not performing, I recommend factory reset. It made my Prime JB from "so-so" to "acceptable".

Rmb to OTA Rootkeep before Update to JB. Factory reset keeps root as long as you backup your root during ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
Ok not to sound stupid but what is ANR? Keep hearing people talk about it. I don't usually turn my prime off and have to charge it every couple days but there's days or longer it just sits and I don't use it. Last night I was messing with it and trying out Google Now for a couple hours and I don't know it was on 20% really quick. I would take this to work and not worry about the charger and leave it plugged in at home but now I don't know cause of last night it drained really quick. But I like JB and am trying to figure out Google now and how to set things up fore the cards to pop up. It said add your favorite Sports team then it wouldn't let me add once I typed it. I don't know I'll play around with it some more. I don't play games and I didn't really notice if the browser was slower. I have Dolphin and Chrome besides the one that was on there. I haven't played music or videos yet neither. Gonna take it to work today and mess with it more on break.

For people who are not happy with the battery life on JB, try disabling Google Now if you are not using it. Battery life took a hit when the Galaxy Nexus updated to JB too and Google Now seemed to be mostly responsible.

I'm sorry to see people having uses with their Jb update... mine seems to be functioning very well. I did have to reboot a couple times to get my Prime to settle down but now it's realty singing. Honestly I'vebeen using it a lot more over the past couple days and have had no ANR's or really any problems. Dolphin browser has been a thing of beauty and I thought I was going to miss flash but so far it hasn't been an issue.

I do notice a bit more battery drain, I'm blaming Now for that. I also dsabled all the silly window animations and what not. (I'm a minimalist and I like snappy interfaces, not flowy ones.)

It's been a full 24+ hours with JB. To be safe I backed everything up, upgraded and factory reset. Restored my apps and gotta say this thing is flying. I did have some ANR's from time to time before, but haven't seen anything like that since. Flash is even working in firefox after restoring it from backup.

Installed some apps from the google app sale and everything purred along fine with no hiccups when the apps were installing. All in all working much better than before. Sorry for all those others having problems but mine is working fine. No root or custom ROM's, and it's a B series serial number one of the early ones.

All in all, working very well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zanzee:
I'm seeing a growing trend, those who have root and try keeping root and then upgrading are having issues. I'm not sure how this is a fault with the prime? If you mod it stfu and deal with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chillaxx:
probably already known. But i haven't read about. Is this a Jelly Bean feature? Or was this already on ICS or even on honeycomb?

If you press about 7 times quickly (like with Jelly Bean version and getting the "easter egg" Jelly Bean on screen) in settings>about tablet>Camera version or touch panel version or Pad EC version a new screen comes up(Tranformer Services). Seems to be a feature to update firmware of the camera/touch panel/Pad EC version?

JB & I

This is the end of day two with JB and at the start it look like JB on the TF-201 is not quiet working like its on my Gnex.

So I decided to secrifice my root and did a Factory Resset after that all became very very fast and smooth like butter :)

The suprise that I discover and was more then fun for me is to install Voodo OTA Rootkeeper and see that it kept me device rooted even after the factory reset...

Now my TF-201 is fast, smooth as silk and even Rooted.

:D

don't know if it will keep root for everyone after factory reset but it worked for me...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JackG058:
After removing the SD card from the dock last night, what was causing reboots, I'm totally happy with this update. I've not had one ANR since last night, and my battery life is incredible. I was on for several hours straight last night, meaning screen on, and maybe went down 20% tops. One thing I'll reiterate is that after installing JB, I did a factory reset two times, just to make sure stuff was cleaned out. I am so happy with my Prime now. For me, no need to mess around with rooting or changing ROMs, which I was thinking about prior to this update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rosebud:
Got to say..im impressed

I did a full factory reset prior to installing the JB Rom, I then proceeded to reinstall all of my apps from Google Play.. the device was still usable during the process.

Its early days, but this rom is working well so far! cant wait for Mods to this rom, I can see this tablet being close to perfect for my needs :)

just a shame that it has taken this long!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TransformerPrime:
Pure stock. Not necessary faster but feel much more responsive. Flash works on stock browser. No ANR so far.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ziocomposite:
Turning off the dimmer is so much win lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MadmanJay:
Since the upgrade I was finding my prime was a bit sluggish still and the rotate was very slow. I decided to do a factory reset and reinstall everything. Since doing that I have noticed my prime is much smoother now and my slow rotate issue has disappeared. So for those having any issues I highly suggest doing the reset to factory. Its like a new machine now!
