Yeah same for me. GPS worked on Slick, then flashed back to Rootbox and it didn't work. Waste of time but at least maybe this info is helpful to find a solution for all.

When yall flashed another rom after flashing Slick, did you re-flash the JB modem?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
Yeah but I did it with TWRP 2.5. Not sure why it has to be done with CWM. Ill retry it in a little bit. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: CWM did the trick. Wow all this headache and it was due to the recovery. Anyway, anyone know what the diference is between CWM and TWRP that can cause that. I so much prefer TWRP but I'll be using CWM for now until a fix for TWRP is out.

Yea so i lied....

After I posted, I look up and my dumbass realizes that I live of a ship. I've got two stories of metal that just blocks all signals from getting through. For all intensive purposes I live in a Faraday cage. So checked it while I was walking on campus to get dinner and it locked on my location.

GPS is working perfectly for me. I did all the steps using CWR Touch.

Thanks for all the help guys.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Drewman294:
I'm glad you got it to work!! Yeah I don't know what it is about CWM but it's very compatible with everything, of course TWRP has an awesome layout and is easy to use but after I switched to CWM, I just got used to it and used it ever since.

Has anyone been able to determine why TWRP makes some people's GPS not work?

I've *only* had TWRP on my LGOG, and GPS has worked BEATUIFULLY for me since day one.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] icytrey:
It worked. Thanks to everyone for this..now I want to know why my GPS got borked in the first place and why I have to go through all this to get it fixed. It wouldn't work even when I lg'd and hard reset back to stock jellybean. Also, I got this to work without having to flash the jellybean radio. Guess I'll stick with snow for awhile I don't want to flash a new rom ,lose GPS,and have to do this all over again..sucks I'm a flashaholic.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sprke:
Followed all the instructions to a tee and still not working for me. It works fine on slick rom but when I flash back to cm10.1 its back to not working...and yes I am using CWM
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Did you flash cm10.1 or restore a cwm backup? Restoring backup worked for me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sprke:
It was a clean install no backup..Maybe that's the problem?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hollywood528:
Followed the instructions and was able to get GPS working. Instead of flashing SlickJB, I was able to flash stock JB and get it working.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 2disbetter:
So restoring a backup in CWM is what you do after you've flashed stock JB, with the JB modem? Before that the GPS should be working in JB though right? So if in JB on the ICS modem, I'm not even seeing the GPS icon, is something wrong that can't be corrected with this method?

Anyone experienced this as well, and gotten their GPS working again?

2d
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hollywood528:
I was able to clear everything as in step one. Flash the stock ICS Rom, and then flash stock JB, cleared cache and got it working
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sprke:
I've tried all kinds of different ways and none of them worked for me. GPS always works when using slick rom or stock but anytime I flash or restore a backup of CM10.1 or rootbox it doesn't work. The GPS icon flashes but never locks...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
Update: GPS is broken again. That didn't last long. I have only been using CWM Touch since I got it working again. Its so much flashing to redo everything to get it to work again. Man what is going on?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hollywood528:

I found an easier and faster way for anyone out there still having troubles. If you unlocked your bootloader with the FreeGee app then it saved a backup of your EFS on your internal memory card. You can verify by opening any file manager app and looking for a folder called "EFS Backup." If you don't have it, download FreeGee and click on restore EFS then reboot. Do a test of any sort and it is fixed.

Simple question really. I've been using lookout on my s3 since June 2012(ish) never saw a warning of any kind. Never blocked a web page that I'm aware of. Never warned me of malware. Scans everything I install from anywhere.

hey guys, i would like to know if any one here is experiencing any laaaag issues with the tab even in performance mode? ...

*google play books very very slow changing the pages

*adobe (not smooth while scrolling)

* google maps not smooth and lags when looking navigating the map

* web browser (dont know which one ir worst Factory browser or chrome) both crashes and pop out "not responding message"

**if some one is thinking about buying this, Please dont bother, go with Nexus!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had Nex7 and works like charm. i sold it thinking of better productivity of the keyboard tranformers line, but guess what... Poor performance ever seen in my life! works like chineese android tabs you can buy on ebay... !! very disappointed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
4.2.1 is not that bad, it has actually improved things a lot. Have you tried performing a cold boot? Also, the tf700 was the first of its type, first HD screen etc. so it is older than the Nexus 7/10. The Nexus' both got bigger GPU's. But I will say I do not get any lag or performance problem on my tab. But it is unlocked and I do mod it. The ASUS' roms are not that great, but 4.2.1 it an improvement over 4.1.1 by far. And if you dont like the tf700, return it, but have fun typing on a touch screen lol, the little bit of lag is worth the keyboard.

PS,have you looked in other general threads about how to improve the performance? IF not, you need to head there before comparing this tablet to any other because the Transformer line is unlike any other out there.

[Asus Transformer TF700] blankito350:
Iam very kindfull with you guys, i want it to give a shot to the infinity, rooting it.. What dont want is people believe that the tab is smooth taking out of its box, because is not. If people have the option, they can think twice before wasting their money and go for nexus 10 or even 7.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Lol it is not a waste of money. It is just not the latest so it dont come perfect out of the box. Rooting it may help a little but unlocking and installing a custom rom will make it a whole new tablet. IDK why ASUS has to bloat everything. If 4-5 guys who take their own time can make it run like a champ, why cant ASUS do it? Beyond me but for those want the most you must unlock. If you want something that is very easy to use out of the box, pick the Nexus or iPad, but you wont be getting a keyboard or 12 hour battery life with either, or as good of performance out of the Nexus or iPad with a modded TF700.

Cromi is the best out there. It is based off stock 4.1.1 ATM as the new 4.2.1 is in the process of being cromi'd.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] cullenmq1:
The answer to that question completely depends on personal opinion/personal preference. Personally, I am on stock rooted until CROMI-X becomes based off of asus stock. If you want mostly stock cromi/cromix is the way to go. Little to no issues and sbdags is a great dev who somehow eliminates most lag while increasing battery life.
[Asus Transformer TF700] blankito350:
noticed any issues or something? i mean bluetooth, gps, camera or something?
[Asus Transformer TF700] cullenmq1:
The CROMI one that is based on 4.1.2 has little to no issues (none that i could find). The one that just came out (CROMI-X) is based off of the 4.2 tf300 rom and is therefore not very optimized for the tf700. it works fine (no major issues) but people have been experiencing slight lag. Sbdags says that he plans on updating the rom to the tf700 build in the next week or so which *should* be frickin fast with no major issues like camera or non working bt. Since it is based off of stock, it should not have any more problems than a stock rom has.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ljg600:
These are my suggestions to improve and maintain performance:

(1) Disable all unnecessary bloatware that comes pre-installed. In general, "unnecessary" is defined as apps you don't use or are poorly designed. This is a critical step.

(2) Chrome is reliable, but still relatively slow on any Android device. Consider alternatives- especially Boat Browser-since it manages memory extremely well. With Boat, set it to cache to SD card. Boat is MUCH faster than Chrome.

(3) Eliminate performance degrading apps such as Facebook (use web version), Goggle Maps (generally not needed on Tablets), Live wallpapers, the relatively useless, performance draining pre-installed AccuWeather widget, etc.

(4) Try to avoid free apps that use in-app advertising. In SOME cases, going to a paid version* will address the issue. However, with location services- actually doing anything on the Internet- not only is your privacy routinely compromised- so is your device's performance.

(5) Avoid resource intensive anti-virus/malware apps. Dr Web Lite and Zoner are less resource intensive than say Lookout. On the flip side- avoid apps that are almost by definition malware such as free MP3 downloaders.

(6) Consider occasionally cold booting and/or clearing browser cache.

(7) Manage file directories, placing work in folders, etc. In other words, organizing your files/folders for ease of access.

(8) Disable in-app location, notification and synching services- unless you feel they are necessary.

None of the above dilutes the user experience and almost all would apply to any Android advice. Also, while one may reply on Google Maps or Voice on the smartphone, is it really necessary on a tablet? In general, one should inventory the apps one uses- and uninstall those apps that are infrequently used- or are more effectively used on a smartphone- or through a web browser. Even apps that are not in use- can run background services- diluting performance with no benefit.
[Asus Transformer TF700] blankito350:
Im trying to get it rooted to delete all those Asus apps, but no luck, i think there is something with my drivers on pc or something.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ljg600:
Actually- just disabling the apps will stop them from running. There are a few Asus specific "bloatware" apps that cannot be disabled- but I have not found that these particular apps are a problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] blankito350:
I know but there are some that are not capable to disable like mybooks for example
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Some apps dont need disabling, if you check the running and cached apps, if its not in there, it wont or shouldnt be affecting the performance.

PS. Never heard of MyBook lol, MyLibrary I have though.

[Asus Transformer TF700] ljg600:
Hi Tylor- Thank you for your excellent posts. I disagree a little with what you wrote, in that whether at startup or other times- "apps" will spring into life as active processes or linger as cached processes. So it is virtually impossible to know when an app will "rears its ugly head." So I still believe in disabling any app that you can't remove and that is not useful. For the average user- I would stick to apps that are clearly apps and stay clear of disabling what is or may appear to be a core Android process. For example, disabling Vibe- but leaving com.android.partnerbookmarks alone. In this case, I believe the later can be disabled- but things labeled "com.android" should probably be left alone by the average user.

I fully sympathize with the original poster's complaints about performance. Out of the box- with the user then adding a reasonable complement of downloaded apps- the performance does suck. However, I have very good stock performance on the TF700 after doing the things I mentioned earlier. But....a machine shouldn't be configured out of the box for poor performance.

While the Nexus 10 offers much better raw performance- one of the things that helps it is the lack of bloatware- except that is Google's homegrown bloatware :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Maybe so, BUT, if it is springing to life and shutting back down, then it is not draining your resources consistently. There are ASUS apps that do this but are not harmful. And of course system apps should not be touched, it is not hard to tell the difference. Plus, it can always be asked. I am waiting patiently for a Cromi'd 4.2.1 though, but the stock ASUS runs great anyways, I think anyways. The kernal needs some work but the 4.2.1 rom runs well.

ASUS Sync, Google+, MyBitCast, Google Music, Zinio, Maps, Vibe, WebStorage and Gmail are the ones I have disabled. Also to make things seem faster you can turn the animations in dev options to .5 and it makes it seem to run better, lookwise anyways.

All due respect, but you are one of the very few who have had a good experience with this tablet. Mine is UBER slow and pretty much unusable. It is just not a well oiled machine.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
I would not say a very few. There are many many people who love their Infinities. I hated mine on stock. I unlocked, flashed Cromi(x), and it blows everything else away. I will say the i/o speed things sucks, but you cannot do nothing about it. But even on my nexus 7, when apps are installing in the background the tablet lags. What should be down is limit how much i/o speed the installation process takes. That way apps that are running are still able to use the i/o while installing, which would help with lag, but all parts in the TF700, besides the i/o, are great and run great. On stock, they do not because of bloat. And unneeded processes in the background.
