Yes it is normal the apps open one another so its gonna take up space and use up some ram, as for cm10 based roms idk how much it gives you, but as for leedroid it either was really slimmed down in order to give you that much free ram or you exaggerated that, I doubt any rom would give you that much free space of ram at most I've seen free was 715 mb and that was on a senseless based rom totally stripped down bare. So yea that should be general info on that but if it is incorrect please feel free to correct me..hopefully I cleared up somethings for you

Hi,

I want to buy TF700.

But I've read in another section of XDA forums that TF700 has speed throttling issues writing to internal storage.

Is anyone familiar with this, and if so, has issue been resolved?

Thanks.

TF700 I/O Throttling Issue?

Do you mean

1. No, your not familiar with it, or

2. No, it hasn't been resolved.

Thanks.

Alan
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Has not been resolved. Plenty of threads on it in these forums.

There are some workarounds, as with the browser (browser2ram), plus tweaks, disabling bloat, etc. - but the I/O problem still (and will continue) to exist. It's hardware based.

TF700 I/O Throttling Issue?

John,

Thanks for your reply.

Is this issue bad enough to pass on buying the TF700?

I don't care about games. Would use it for web browsing, Office work, SKYPE video, and photo viewing and uploading.

Would I have to root to accomplish any tweaks? I'm not anxious to do that yet to a new machine, since I'm new to Android.

My other main consideration is the Galaxy Note 10.

But I liked the higher resolution and keyboard of the TF700.

Do you have any opinion?

Thanks again.

Alan
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
What exactly does the throttling affect? I read somewhere that ASUS cheaped out on the RAM in the Infinity. Does it affect the speed of switching program to program? I haven't noticed any extreme issues with speed. Then again, I have disabled a ton of of the bloatware and tweaked a lot of the settings to get maximum performance (on non rooted JB). I did notice that after upgrading to JB and then reformatting, things ran smoother.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
In my experience upgrading to jelly bean has made a difference and provides a much smoother experience.

However before you do that it is worth considering rooting the Infinity (doesn't void warranty) then restoring root after the upgrade as you can tweak things so that the io is not really an issue.

Custom Roms certainly help as well.

I do feel that people on xda have become somewhat fixated with the asus io issues. In everyday use they are not really that noticeable especially after the JB upgrade.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I know this sounds crap, but only you can tell.

Any resource-intensive task may let the I/O issue surface. Photo viewing is OK, uploading, well... that would depend on several other factors (WiFi quality, the type of image files and their size/resolution/compression level). Web browsing is hit or miss: most do not notice a drastic impediment, but others do. Very personal. And all the same considerations apply to Skype/VOIP in general/word-processing software.

Day to day use is not that bad, however, even on stock, unless you have a 'Monday-morning model'...

Yes, you would need root, definitely. Not that hard to accomplish, IF you can follow instructions to the letter. Being really new to Android, you'll either have to start somewhere, or just use what is given to you by the manufacturer. :)

In my opinion, if you are even considering the Note, it's not that big a difference to you. I wouldn't even consider the Note a serious contender for the same reasons you gave, but, again, that is as personal as it gets.

Heh, opinions. They're like sphincters, right -- (pretty much) everyone having one? It seems everyone on XDA --or on forums in general -- has some voyeuristic tendencies showing off their virtual a**holes -- don't worry, we'll voice our opinions, even if you do not like them. ;)

Yes, they used a relatively slow Hynix unit, from what I've read. Read up on the I/O issue on the load of threads that are a bit older -- we went into a relatively deep discussion there which is hard/futile/unnecessary to reproduce here. There's a lot of info and considerations mentioned in there -- take a look!

Regards,

M
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It's not about the RAM, it's the embedded MMC, which is slower than the internal storage in many other Android-based devices. The effect is visible whenever you try to load or store larger amounts of data in the internal storage - installing apps, loading pictures, downloading files, etc.

For years, PC users have suffered from slow storage until SSDs became affordable - our eMMC is even slower than a mechanical hard drive in a netbook. Software can only work around the storage slowness by caching, but this cannot fully hide the issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Absolutely get one! Regarding the "I/O" issues - they are way overblown, to be honest. With Jelly Bean it's not much of a problem at all. There are also a few tweaks around (browser2ram, for example), that make browsing a much faster experience (along with a few other tweaks here and there).

Overall, the TF700 is an awesome tablet with a *super* awesome display and great keyboard dock. We are just now starting to realize the potential of this device and developers are starting to produce custom ROMs and kernels that will make it even that much better.

Do not let the I/O "problem" stop you from buying the device - you will see once you get it, that it's really not much of a problem at all.

After all, you can always return the device if you don't like it...

Question:

Why root before upgrading to JB and restore root after upgrade?

Why not just root after upgrading to JB?

Thanks.

[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
The method to root JB on our tablets has not been released yet - IOW, that is the only way to root a locked Infinity running JB
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
It sounds like you made a decision already, but just to back up a bit more.

Here is compiled I/O scores from official Antutu scores.

View attachment 1384251

I chose Antutu here because I could not readily find scores of many devices at once on other benchmarks, but I believe the result will be similar.

For instance, check http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...hmark-11-modern-devices-compared-in-13-tests/ Originally before update TF700 score was listed here. But with update (back in early August or late July) the RL bench score was already up to 60-90s.

So what are these proving?

Yes. I/O is slower than the that of Galaxy Note 10.1, or some android phones. But it is not unique to the Infinity. Essentially, what happening here I believe is Infinity just simply did not use top notch I/O but I don't think they cheaped out. Each manufacture decides where to put money when building a device. For example, Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 used 2GB RAM and nice IO but did not use Full HD screen. In a ideal world, we can always ask for more. 4GB RAM, Ivy Bridge, Retina display etc. for $500...

Conclusion is basically IO should be as good as most other android tablet out there. In fact, infinity may still be superior to some due to DDR3 RAM use. I think people made/surmised IO as major issue because transformer series had frequent ANR, and lag almost to freeze while application downloading when it was originally released (at least for TF700 and I believe similar story for TF201). Given the use of most cutting edge Tegra chip, DDR3 ram, people hypothesized IO is the bottleneck and the cause of the issue.

But now those original issues raised seemed so much better to the point I say ANR frequency is pretty identical to my iPad 2 and formerly owned Galaxy Note 10.1. System stutters slightly when installing large application sometimes, but not to the point unusable and every system has that issue. Even my desktop does get that if I do too many things at once.

I am extremely happy with this device, and currently this is the most ideal tablet on the market for me.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulbonado:
It's a hardware problem

The early Galaxy S variants just have weak GPS hardware. They may have fixed it mid-stream on some of the later-built ones, but my early Captivate (from August 2010) has just never worked very well, no matter which ROM, no matter which workaround/"fix". It will eventually lock, but usually take 10+ minutes, and even once it has, it loses lock frequently, and even when it claims to have lock, the location is inaccurate.

I bought one of these and it works well with this app.

I admit it's a bit inconvenient, but the thing is very small-- I even run/bike with it, just tucked into the strap of the armband I keep my phone in. And it's fine for navigation in the car. If you have a later-built device maybe some of the workarounds will help you, but replacing the hardware is the only solution that's worked for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
okay, afaik, based on my experience with cappy gps, you don't need hardware mods. its just got a gps antenna location that is not so good and bad factory config files.

I'm not aware of samsung reving the gps hardware on cappy, but they did make changes to software but left lousy config files.

if you need gps comparable to standalone gps units, then follow the advice re separate bluetooth unit, else read on before spending bucks.

just correcting the config files has worked great for me.

I think you should:

1. uninstall faster fix, it caused me to lose good gps locks and others have posted same experience.

then:

make sure you've got angrygps app on your cappy. if not, search xda, several folks posted the apk.

look for an xda thread on 'hellstorm gps' and install that fix. for more info, see canovas thread on gps fix.

also:

open angrygps or edit secgps.conf to make sure mode is msbased.

also set agps mode on (=1 if you are manually editing file). the location of secgps.conf varies with rom you are using. mine is in data/data/gps folder.

I like gps status app for testing.

Mine locks usually about 10 sec. Sometimes 20-30 sec if I am moving and gps wasn't started before I started driving.

once or twice a month, google maps or nav goes wahwah and can't seem to get a lock. A quick disable/enable gps toggle in settings and it gets a stable lock again in a few seconds.

liberate your captivate on xda

I'm trying to find ICS or JB Roms that have A2DP support. Until today I've been running Unnamed 2.2.1 which works great with my car's stereo and I'm able to stream pretty much whatever I want.

But wanting to update my phone to the latest android versions I started flashing some Roms and I haven't found one that would stream music via Bluetooth to my car's stereo.

Roms I've tried so far with no luck are:

CM9 Stable

AOKP JB (10.5.2012)

Slim Bean

SuperNexus Build 2 & 3

Aberration 1.3

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lekerstein:
I've been able to use A2DP to my car stereo on both cm9 and cm10. Make sure you delete the pairing on your stereo before connecting again after you flash a new ROM. That may be your problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zl4y3r:
Thanks for the response. I deleted all the saved paired devices from my car and I tried again with both CM9 stable and CM10 latest nightly and the stereo receives the song's info but it when I press play it the phone gets stuck playing on 0:01 of the song and nothing happens after that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
A2DP seems to be broken in a lot of kernels from reading around the dev forum. Try a different one.

Edit: Kernel, not rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zl4y3r:
Thanks for the response. I installed CM9 stable with the next kernels:

Siyah-v4.1.6-mswap

N.E.A.K-2.0.6x-AOSP

fluxi-xx-I777-7-29-2012

And still no luck getting a2dp working. I'm starting to think that it might be my car's stereo, I have clarion head units on all 3 of my vehicles and they all use "Parrot bluetooth module" whatever that means.

What I still find weird is that the Rom I'm running right now works great, so I guess I'll be running GB while I figure out how to get this working with a ICS or JB Rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] neuroaxon:
I too am having the same problem with the A2DP support. I just flashed my 1st ROM on my GS3 and I'm not getting any audio through my car stereo speakers. Are most of the JB ROMS lacking this support?

Hello all! Im new here, but have been using alot of the tutorials and mods. I recently decided to move from FROYO to ICS, using several tutorials, but didnt even make it to gingerbread :( I was using this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1705260 and at first when I ran odin, all was well, except it wouldnt boot past the ATT splash screen, and it also had the 'rainbow' screen before the samsung loading screen, so i followed this :

2.) I have rainbow distortion in recovery or in the boot animation. How can I get Gingerbread bootloaders to fix this?:

If you have rainbow distortion, you still have Froyo bootloaders. You can download THIS .rar file, extract using 7zip, and flash the tar.md5 package in Odin (use the pda slot). Flashing Gingerbread bootloaders will correct rainbow distortion in recovery and in the boot animation. Only flash these if you are having issues with rainbow distortion, and only if you have had success flashing other, less dangerous items in Odin.

After re flashing with odin, my phone will no longer turn on... at all. Ive tried getting it to go into download mode, tried using the three button recovery, and nothing. Is there anyone that could help with this!? If i cant figure it out, I might not be on the infuse forums much longer... lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
Rainbows only appear on ics or above, so if you saw rainbows, you must have flashed ics.

As the warning said, a failed bootloader flash would leave you with a brick. Did odin stop during the flash or did it say it completed succesfully?

You may try using a jig and see if that forces download mode, but i doubt you will get results from that.

Sent from my sweet & buttery Infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] devkilo:
hrmm :/

The new bootloader I loaded was supposed to be a gingerbread bootloader, and it said that if I saw the rainbow screen it was becuase i had the froyo bootloader, as quoted above. Ive read in alot of different forums, and ive tried charging it, removing the battery for 10 minutes and trying to get it into d/l mode, but nothing works. I think i may just have to chalk this one up as a very mislead failure. When I used odin, it said it was completed successfully as well... Im pretty sure that the 'gingerbread bootloader' is just a bad file.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pony Express:
As Andros11 said, you might try using a jig, for me it would be worth the $2. price to give it a try. If it does not work there are unbrick services available for about $50.00- not too bad, considering.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mikied12:
Go back to that page DL the one unbrick root 1.1 flash in Odin,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613523

Toto that link DL the cwm with root extras then as soon as you are done flashing the first one reboot for good measure, shut it off go into download mode flash that giving you a cwm recovery, somewhere in that post I seen gingerbread loader a link maybe getting you to them, I flashed to gingerbread bootloaders, forget where I got them off xda, then flash a cm9 rom taking you to ics, somehow in that process my rainbow screen went away :) and I have not had that problem every since.

I did have a small problem with Odin hanging on do not turn off and it just sits there. I got tired of waiting over five minutes nothing happening, I unplugged it, pulled battery, then when I went to download mode I had that rainbow screen, but not to worry it is still in download mode, with my infuse, I has to toggle the volume button up, after it sets to the first screen then you are in complete DL mode, check Odin to be sure you got that yellow check box to be sure it sees the phone then do the flash again, the BIG TRICK HERE IS, before you maybe find the rainbow screen in DL MODE, after you pull the USB cable pull the battery, replace the battery, then turn on the phone and let it hang up in what ever screen, then pull the battery again to turn it off, replace the battery then go into download mode, and the flash will take off and only be a few minutes. That worked for me more then once. Hope that helps, :)
