I've done a lot of research on this tablet, owned the tf300 but returned it, it scratched waay to easy,..so im just gonna pay the extra and get the 700...im really really anxious about some new oc kernels ,roms so we can see what this thing really can do,..I never keep my Devices (phones, tablets,) factory set, I usually root them as soon as I buy them,... ,..it's one of the main reasons we chose android,.. I hear a lot of negative stuff on the 700 but let's see when we have more roms, some overclocking! Which I don't think anyone knows what it can be maxed out to and be stable at this point,..maybe with all that,..we'll see how good the processor really is
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Keep your eyes out for Zeus rom and kernel. (coming soon).

Pros: The Infinity flies with JB. THIS is the device I thought I had bought.

Cons:

- One or two apps seem to have lost the ability to 'Paste' into text fields. Netflix is an example. I completely blame the applications for this problem.

- Notifications in the 'Status Bar' area seem to block the ability to 'swipe up' the control panel. You have to wait until the notification fades. A very minor issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I used to run Zeus 4.0 and was a huge fan of it - I would say that it is worth upgrading to Jelly Bean though. Performance of stock JB is very similar (if not better) than Zeus was on ICS, but you also get the new JB features, smoothness and stability (namely, the OpenGL Out Of Memory issue has been fixed)...

The ultimate will be Zeus 5.0 (based on JB)! I'm sure that will be released relatively soon, but who knows (haven't heard from Zeus about this yet).
[Asus Transformer TF700] jake21:
Yeppers I was very happy with this improvement surprise no one else mentioned it.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I'm not really seeing it fly; they seem to do some sort of double buffering so screen updates look fster but when there is I/o (like loading a complex web page) the whole tablet seems to stall (scrolling for example is horrible during the load). I have another tablet that does not have these stalls while loading.
[Asus Transformer TF700] AM Radio:
i have. with Force GPU Rendering ON:

- some screens with loads of text + images scroll smoother. a fully loaded PULSE screen, for example. however, specifically this case, after several seconds of flicking up and down and wondering just how much smoother it was (it WAS smoother, but not by a huge margin) the app crashed. never did that before.

- in the "artist" gallery of the music player, the album cover images (about 40) seem to lag a bit during a few points while loading. scrolling up and down is the same speed/smoothness once loaded.

- no change in the stock browser (from what i can tell)

not a comprehensive list, of course, but just what i discovered this morning. and so, i have decided NOT to enable this. it would suck if i were making notes at a client meeting or some such and my notetaking app just up and died (don't know if that would be related, but i'm not risking it to find out). also, it just sucks when an app that i use all the time like PULSE (which, i'm guessing, is probably largely based on Gingerbread/Froyo -- so many devices still running this older OS versions) becomes unstable just to have a smidgen more smoothness.

i'll just wait for app devs to take advantage of ICS/JB code better.

the JB update has already made this tablet freakin' AWESOME.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
So how long till a firmware update for post Jelly Bean bugs :confused:

One, two or six months?
[Asus Transformer TF700] misiek_to_ja:
I can't believe, but it really seems that these OpenGL issues are gone! No crashing of launchers or apps for more than 24 hours :) It was really driving me crazy and I would say it is one of the most important changes. I will drink for that tonight :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I agree completely! That was one *major* bug that affected *many* applications! Good riddance! :)

That is reason enough to upgrade from any ICS-based ROM!

factory reset after updating to JB stopped my random reboots

would have almost every 15-20min for me
[Asus Transformer TF700] lethang90b:
sorry. i missed some word

my pad was automating restart once a day
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
Because of bookmark i started to use chrome more. Initially i felt it was slow and never really was my choice on ics, but lately it seems to run very fast. I wonder this is yet another thing we have to give a time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I don't get it. Today i was playing around with 2d rendering settings. And started noticing quadrant scores higher than i got when I started. My best score was over 200 0oints higher than ics, with tick on, scores are better even when its off.

(I remember on this or prime telling about a setting, when turned on and off improved performance. If someone remembers this please post.)

At first normal browser, didn't work very well with some web pages. I mentioned xda and amazon as examples. Today they are just fine.

I've been doing so much on infinity i don't remember when i did what, but i did do a factory restore, and 2d rendering tick. I unticked and browser worked fine. I don't know who did what and when, but am a happy camper.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
Congrats! Yup when we initially started downloading JB update some people were already concluding that JB was a joke. Even after I suggested applying a factory reset if your having performance and app issues and just wait till it settles before complaining and or praising JB. Some thought it was BS and blew me and others off. Then after a day or so, yup singing a different tune. For me this device is a beast regardless of what some would otherwise say issues and all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
Jelly Bean has been a godsend for many here. MANY happy campers. It's been a long time coming. This device is now ultimately what we wanted it to be from day one.

HALLELUJAH!
[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
These are the things that won't work if an app relies on them and you have "force GPU rendering" turned on.

When hardware accelerated, the 2D rendering pipeline supports the most commonly used Canvas drawing operations as well as many less-used operations. All of the drawing operations that are used to render applications that ship with Android, default widgets and layouts, and common advanced visual effects such as reflections and tiled textures are supported. The following list describes known operations that are not supported with hardware acceleration:

•Canvas◦clipPath()

◦clipRegion()

◦drawPicture()

◦drawTextOnPath()

◦drawVertices()

•Paint◦setLinearText()

◦setMaskFilter()

◦setRasterizer()

•Xfermodes◦AvoidXfermode

◦PixelXorXfermode

In addition, some operations behave differently with hardware acceleration enabled:

•Canvas◦clipRect(): XOR, Difference and ReverseDifference clip modes are ignored. 3D transforms do not apply to the clip rectangle

◦drawBitmapMesh(): colors array is ignored

•Paint◦setDither(): ignored

◦setFilterBitmap(): filtering is always on

◦setShadowLayer(): works with text only

•PorterDuffXfermode◦PorterDuff.Mode.DARKEN will be equivalent to SRC_OVER when blending against the framebuffer.

◦PorterDuff.Mode.LIGHTEN will be equivalent to SRC_OVER when blending against the framebuffer.

◦PorterDuff.Mode.OVERLAY will be equivalent to SRC_OVER when blending against the framebuffer.

•ComposeShader◦ComposeShader can only contain shaders of different types (a BitmapShader and a LinearGradient for instance, but not two instances of BitmapShader )

◦ComposeShader cannot contain a ComposeShader

If your application is affected by any of these missing features or limitations, you can turn off hardware acceleration for just the affected portion of your application by calling setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null). This way, you can still take advantage of hardware acceleratin everywhere else. See Controlling Hardware Acceleration for more information on how to enable and disable hardware acceleration at different levels in your application.​

This explains hardware acceleration in Android.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel.html#drawing-support

Teg3's GPU is weak in fill rate benchmarks and strong in (some) texture benchmarks. Mali is actually the opposite. The graphics properties of what's being displayed will affect performance; especially pushing the high pixel count required by the FHD display. And it's not releated to JB as much as it is the capabilities of the GPU.

[Asus Transformer TF700] zenaxe:
+1. I was very happy to notice the volume boost. I had paid for and was using Volume+ previously and am happy to have a proper system wide solution for it.

Amen. This one fix was really all I personally needed to love my tablet again. The number of things crashing consistently due to this made the entire system feel incredibly cheap and unstable under ICS. I'm still half expecting gmail, maps, Nova 3, or any other of a bunch of apps to crash every other time I run them like they did under ICS. LOL. This thing is finally usable for gaming which was a big deal for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] scooterjr:
Does anyone know if the LG as680 has a jellybean rom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] GaryParr:
HDMI and Stay Awake

Just wanted to mention that the HDMI out now has options for Auto/Crop/Scale. Seems that Crop is what we are used to in ICS where the bottom bar would not appear on the external display. Scale mode will send the whole output to the external including the bar. Can't tell what Auto does so far since it seems to want to run crop regardless of the app I'm in. The only beef I have with this is that in scale mode, the bottom bar is still expanded to twice the normal height to give the program content area the correct dimensions for wide screen TV display. Makes no sense when running scale mode.

Also, has anyone else noticed that the option to stay awake while charging no longer works? At least it doesn't when power is connected to the dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xcal321:
Yes they did. I haven't had a single crash. I'm able to play Nova3, MC3, Mini Motor, Horn, SiegeCraft THD, Flick Golf, Asphalt 7, Dark Knight Rising, Agent Dash, Beach Buggy, Dead Trigger, Dark Meadow, Six Guns and many more. All without the need to reboot before playing or use a memory "cleaner".

I would say it is well worth it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dwardo:
Am I the only one not seeing the option to share via bluetooth anymore ? I use to use this often in ICS to transfers files to and from my phone and pad !

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

Upon further investigation seems only apks can't be shared by bluetooth... rename to to .txt and bluetooth share option appears...
[Asus Transformer TF700] xcal321:
I have noticed that too, only mine wasn't fully charged yet. It's the same notification you get when you plug in the charger. At first I though the plug was not properly fastened to the dock, but it was fine. Even jiggling it didn't trigger it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yep, I get the battery charging notification thing too... Slightly annoying, but I'm not complaining considering how well the tablet runs with Jelly Bean! I've noticed a few other small bugs too (spelling correction sometimes flakes out if you backspace and correct a word for one). But so far, the bugs are *very* minor and well worth putting-up-with! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] rlm0n0:
I can no longer copy from gmail and paste into browser. Also, the text entry can be a lil wonky sometimes. Im a dock user tho so maybe its just the dock. For example, if i see something i want to change in previous text, i used to be able to reach up and touch the place with my finger on the screen and then go back to the dock and make my changes. Now the curser doesnt want to come up in the right spot, takes a few presses to get it close and sometimes just wont go. I seem to have lost spell check as well. Semi-bummer, these things, but a good trade off for the extra speed. RL
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
Here are my pros and cons for this JB update:

Pros:

Faster, smoother and the occasional ANRs are more or less gone. UI transition is fluid as it should be, though not as fast as the Nexus 7 (I guess all of us already expected that before the update).

Cons:

I/O problem is the same, no better, no worse. It is just there.

The stock browser still has this occasional ANR message and when pages are loading, the browser sometimes does not respond to touches or the trackpad. In term of reliability, I would still say the Infinity is not as reliable as the Note 10.1 or Nexus 7.

There are several places that the keyboard dock does not work as good as ICS. For example, sometimes I cannot use backspace to delete previous words that I type. I would need to touch the screen first before pressing backspace. So far, I have encountered this problem when typing in the search box of Google or the comment section in Facebook app. Overall, text input is not as good as ICS because of this annoying bug.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
it works fine for me. I just tried it in Google.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GaryParr:
I've seen this in a few places such as email and while replying to this post. Driving me crazy!
[Asus Transformer TF700] furou:
Overall it's fast, smooth and stable. However I've noticed major stuttering on certain sites through chrome, namely when it's displaying images that are slightly big. It's the most noticeable on TED - the app flies when I go over all the small thumbnails, but lags heavily (2-4 sec delay) at the top of the page with the larger "highlighted talks" thumbnails. Anyone else getting this? Hoping that Asus fixes it soon...
[Asus Transformer TF700] GaryParr:
I've given up on Chrome and just use the stock browser. I'm getting great fluid scrolling and excellent times on large page loads. I did a factory reset which probably helped. Chrome can sync my bookmarks just fine, but that's about it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
It is a bit random, I cannot really consistently reproduce it, but as you can see from above, someone else has the same problem. It is an annoying bug.
[Asus Transformer TF700] furou:
Yup, same. Sites that I know will lag on chrome I open instead with the browser. It's just frustrating that it can't work smoothly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mc_365:
I have problems using Chrome for pages like engadget.com even on desktop. I think its chrome, not the tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcompagner:
i had to wait a few days before i would want to make a comment on this thread, because i really first wanted to use it for a few days

now that i have done this i must say after the update and a factory reset the pad is way better in almost anything

switching between apps, inside the apps, gmail is useable now (that one crashes or hanged almost all the time when i started scrolling in it)

chrome is really bad yes, use stock browser, chrome for me is also quite annoying because how do you scroll fast to the top again? If you have read a long discussion and scrolled all the way to the bottom, then going to the top of the page is so many swipes. In the stock browser you can just do a big swipe and that scolls very fast and it keeps scrolling for quite a while. Or you can pick that scroll button on the left and in one swipe to the top you are there. Only just that makes me not use Chrome...

About the factory reset, some are saying it is logical that it really wipes everyting including the internal sd (emmc i think that is called on phones) i donᷰt find that that logical it should wipe apps and app data not just the user data that sits besides it like photoᷰs or mp3/movies

My SGS2 doesnᷰt do that.. else i would have lost Titanium backup all the time where i do a factory reset because that backs up stuff to me internal sd.

but overal i am very hapy now with the performance, i guess the i/o is not really fixed but i donᷰt notice it that well anymore. Because even when i update a log of apps from the playstore i can now do something else a bit better, previously it was really not useable anymore now i stil notice it but not that much. I guess we just have to live with it that this is just a bad design of asus to not use a better ssd controller

[Asus Transformer TF700] jupppo:
Same here. I tried all the main browsers and Opera works by far the best. It they could only fix the display resolution.
[Asus Transformer TF700] L_o_k_i:
Here are my comments on jelly bean update. First I did a factory reset because after the update I wasn't satisfied by the responsiveness. So I wiped everything and reinstalled the tablet completely. It's a way better now! My main concerns so far are:

- since then I had 2 hot reboot. On ICS it was the same

- I lost the ability to sync my bookmarks with chrome in the stock browser

- Chrome is a pain in the a**: too laggy !!!

- Google now doesn't speak French :confused: . It's OK in English...

- I have some ANRs in the stock browser sometime

- Google Play Music or Jetaudio cannot see my mp3s on the microSD card. It was OK on ICS
[Asus Transformer TF700] the_game_master:
ooh ooh, I'm ready to chime a little in on the TF700T with JB.

Chrome! Chrome has turned back to crap. It had gotten so much better in the .30 ICS update and with Jelly Bean it's gotten terribly laggy.

The Stock browser still has that occasional not responding problem. Where typing in google.com it will just stall on a blank page. Closing it reopening having no affect.

I've been using Mozilla's Aurora browser more so.
[Asus Transformer TF700] amenic:
Very unstable...

I had only been using root and atp. Tweaks. No build.Prop changes etc.

I kept getting random lock ups (black / Grey screen of death)

So I did a factory reset and so far I've had a random reboot and a reboot hang....

If this keeps up I'm either going to exchange or refund.

Also can't stand the crappy IO performance. I honestly feel like my HTC evo 4G lte is more powerful, consistent and stable than my TFI.

Just smaller with no physical keyboard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mykew:
JB has been all roses for me so far . The most noticeable difference for me has been the increased stability. Not one crash or hang. I haven't cold booted the tab since I upgraded. Benchmark scores are slight below what they were with zeus4, but the user experience is much better. I then that counts for more.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I'm really starting to wonder if you are having hardware issues as most folks are having the exact opposite result with Jelly Bean - increased performance and stability... I would try an exchange before "jumping ship"!
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
I actually wonder whatever the tweaks you made are the issue. You might want to revert back everything to original state and see what happens. I could be wrong but some tweaks may not revert back even with factory reset.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cvflowe:
I have encountered issues with backspace as well, In fact im glad you wrote about this. I thought I was losing it. I noticed this issue in gdocs spreadsheet, it can be pretty bad at times. I hope they send a fix for this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Has anyone used titainiam to wipe user and system data. I saw it towards bottom of run list. You can do cache as well. This might do the same as a factory reset without erasing drive? Might be worth a try before factory reset.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] GaryParr:
FWIW, I've sarted to notice the rogue backspace only happens in text entry that doesn't fully constrain the cursor. Not sure if that makes sense, so let me explain what I mean. In some apps the text entry fields will constrain the cursor so that home or end take you to the respective spots within the text field while shift-home and shift-end works as expected and select text. In other apps, home or end will cause the text field to lose the cursor and you jump to the beginning or end of the page. The former seem to have no problem remembering what the backspace key is supposed to do. The latter often forget. Coincidentally, the apps that constrain the cursor also understand that shift-backspace is supposed to be a regular delete while the others do not. With a full keyboard, the delete key also only works on the former. Go freaking figure.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sfernandezl:
+1 any ideas to get it back?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
I wouldn't try it. It may brick your device. Factory Reset doesn't just erase data and system it also reinstalls the update that was installed previous if I'm correct. When I had previously applied the reset it went through what looked like the update process. I don't think it will be the same for titanium backup. It would just erase everything and leave you with an empty shell?
[Asus Transformer TF700] cmdrdredd:
If I'm not mistaken I think TB only touches system data like your contacts, email addresses, accounts, home screen, settings, and your app data. It should, I think, simply wipe out all the data so you start with a fresh OS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] androidxen:
(Pressed submit before I was even started ha)

I remember having custom roms in between update to the my Prime causing problems whenever I wanted to flash the newest stock update. Flashing back to either a backed up stock rom instance would fix a lot of problems.

I was in Zeus this round, flashed to a backup of my stock before updating manually.

Other than the automatic factory reset, I also initiated another factory reset from bootloader, AND did a hard reset by poking the reset hole on the left side of the tablet for 30 seconds (this was a common piece of advice I got from the Prime).
[Asus Transformer TF700] corradoswapt:
overall smooth performance for me,except I cant get jetflicks to play in any browser. I have flash installed but nothing seems to play. seems like a waste paying $50 bucks a year for a service that doesnt work on 4.1. good thing my gs3 sreen is watchable at least.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I've always used to save data and apps before rom update. Asus backup allows either data or data and apps. When i imported files data often came back as well as apps when i restored. I think this is a mistake, and only apps should be restored. I will say Asus backup program saved me a lot of trouble because it auto backup to micro sd. If you use titanium save a backup to removable storage.

If you don't want to loose data with factory restore, there are several options. Save everything to non tablet computer. Backup to micro sd card, a lot faster than computer. Be synced with off line storage. Its easy to sync photos to Google, dropbox, and several others. Get the usb adaptor and save to usb drive. This has the advantage os speed, but also has all your backups away from your computer, in case of damage or gets stolen. In fact i think ill do that tonight.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I'm pretty sure it does not reapply the OTA update. That would require 1) reverting to the previous update, which is no longer present, and 2) then reapplying the update.

A factory reset on the tablet takes way less time than just installing an update does, so that does not seem possible.

Unless ASUS does something differently (and I've yet to find any evidence that it does), a factory reset is a wipe of /data and /cache only. It does not touch your operating system itself.

Titanium Backup will wipe all your data, including data associated with system apps (but not the system apps themselves, only updates to system apps and all the other apps you've downloaded). It is basically the same as performing a factory reset.
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I think it will take a few months for the next update (if ever) to come, especially after a major update like Jelly Bean. We probably will have to live with this for quite some time.
