[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phylum:
Ever since I got the TF300T, I felt it was a little sluggish at times. I assumed it was because of all the bloatware and/or the Asus ROM.

I've dealt with it ever since I got it, which is pretty much the day it came out, and I'm tired of that.

I really hoped Jelly Bean or KitKat would help so I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP and flashed a CM11 nightly. (From the 18th I think.)

Its been running for a few hours now, and I feel like its just as slow as before.

I'm aware I could buy a newer device (like a Nexus 7 or 10) but that's not an option right now.

I'm also aware that I could try another ROM like OMNI or Cromi but

(a) I choose CM because I've used their ROMs in the past and I trust them, and

(b) I'm not really in excited about trying 2, 3 or 5 different ROMs

Is this the sort of performance I should expect from this device?

Is this as good as it gets?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f69m:
You should see a significant performance improvement from stock to CM11. For example starting or switching applications is much faster.

Can you describe in more detail, what you are doing, and where you consider it to be slow?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebildude123:
Did you wipe /data, /system, /cache, & dalvik cache before you flashed CM11?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brewmeister:
what he said

like ebildude said make sure to do proper wipes before installing rom. i've personally only used cromix and it works great, even though it's stock based - theres lots of tweaks. also look into getting a fast microsd and take a look at rom2sd ,data2sd and cache2sd tweaks in the cromi thread-may boost performance a little. hope you get it working to your satisfaction, this is really a good little machine when it works right, can even dual boot linux, look at the xubuntu thread.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Try installing a kernel, like GEASS or GRIM. Then use overclock and a new scheduler.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phylum:
Thanks for the replies!

I flashed it yesterday afternoon around 3pm and didn't do much with it other than

add my Google account

create a new user account and link that to Google

I haven't loaded it down with apps, yet.

In general, moving about the device seems choppy (not smooth) and its not responsive whether I'm

Opening and closing the app drawer

Scrolling the app drawer or home screen

Accessing menus in settings.

When turning on the screen it takes 5-7 seconds before the screen actually turns on.

Launching applications or games aren't any faster and there's some stuttering when watching media. (Like HBOGO)

I did a factory reset, installed ROM then wiped cache. I'll look at the TWRP menu when I get home.

I really like this device for a variety of reasons, and I'd love to dual boot Linux! (I'm a huge FreeBSD and Gentoo fan!) Despite how sluggish its been, I've gotten a lot of work done on this device. Well via things like Citrix and LogMeIn. When traveling we use it to watch TV and do things that would otherwise be too difficult to do on a phone.

I have a 32GB Class 10 microsd in the tablet and 16GB Class 10 SD card in the battery/keyboard portion.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phylum:
Something just occurred to me: Could it be that the system is scanning the SD cards? One is mostly empty (twrp backup, files for flashing) but the other is packed with data. (Maps for OsmAnd, TitaniumBackup backups, music, photos and other stuff etc.)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phylum:
The TWRP Factory reset wipes data, cache and dalvik not including internal storage.

The advanced wipe let's you choose the option to wipe everything, but I only did cache and dalvik.

Also after flashing a ROM TWRP has a convenient 'Wipe Cache/Dalvik' button on the screen, which I did.

So to be sure, I just did a factory reset again , followed by an advanced wipe wiping everything except my memory cards (Data, dalvik, system, cache). I reflashed CM11, wiped cache and dalvik then flashed the gapps.

That sufficient?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phylum:
I'll read into this a bit more and maybe give it a go. Does one seem to work better for the TF300T than the other?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebildude123:
Yup, looks good to me.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Well by my testing, GEASS seemed more stable, but Grim had more raw power. It will depend on what apps you have installed and use.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f69m:
Opening recent apps can sometimes take 2-3 seconds, especially if there are a lot of recent apps and it has not been used in a while. But usually it is less than 1 sec. Everything else you list should be very snappy, less than 1 sec, usually far less.

That is much too long! I get the lock screen in less than a second.

Did you see any improvements after the full wipe including data?

That is indeed possible; maybe it is waiting for the device to settle, especially during the long screen-on time.

Any improvement, if you remove the sdcards?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phylum:
Ok its been about a few hours since I wiped + reflashed and I have a bittersweet update.

The Good:

I'm noticing an immediate improvement this time around!

+ The CPU is now at a more reasonable 0.1x-0.2x versus a constant 3.xx - 5.xx!

+ When waking up from sleep (pressing the power button) the screen is on almost immediately versus 5-7 seconds.

+ Opening the app drawer, moving between screens is not only faster (more responsive) but its not as choppy. (maybe completely lagless)

+ In general its noticeably faster.

+ I installed Netflix, HBO GO etc and playback is smooth.

The Bad:

- There's still the occasional slowness in general, although not as frequent, but its especially slow when downloading & installing apps. (like it hangs)

- It was running nicely *until* I added a second user. Immediately after creating the account, there was a significant decrase in performance. I noticed this in the stock Asus ROM even after wiping and not installing anything. Not sure if this is an Android thing or unique to this device. (Also, it just rebooted right in the middle of creating the account; fluke I suppose as it didn't happen a second time.)

- CPU is now hanging around 0.3x - 0.5x after adding the new user. I assume its caused by whatever background processes associated with the new account but the 'presence' of the new account is being felt.

While I'm not excited about the cons, its considerably better than what it used to be.

I'll test without the microSD & SD card tomorrow and let the system 'rest' and 'settle' for tonight.

Your input has been invaluable and I'll keep pressing on!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phylum:
Is there a [CM] utility that allows you to easily update to the most recent nightly?

Or do we just download the zip and flash in recovery?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f69m:
Try the ROW I/O scheduler, that should perform much better with background writing.

There is a CM updater in the system "about" settings.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
Most ROMs lag when updating from the store etc. Just turn off auto updating and do them manually and don't use the tab for 5 mins whilst it is updating.

As for multi user - it's bawked - never seen it work well on any device. I'd forget it for now as the performance hit is not worth it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
You can use the CM updater found in your settings.

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] e8hffff:
Not sure if everyone noticed but there's an announcement of a Tegra Note 7 with mobile phone communications and it's the latest LTE/4G network.

A quote from the Nvidia-Blog... "Look for the Tegra NOTE 7 LTE starting at $299 from partners worldwide* starting in the second quarter.", indicates the 4G version will be a $100 adage, and available from April 2014.

A statement about the modem... "The Tegra NOTE 7 LTE’s worldwide connectivity is provided by our cellular LTE modem chipset, the fifth-gen NVIDIA i500 processor. i500 leverages a unique software-defined radio technology – meaning it can deliver new capabilities via software without requiring an entirely new chipset. Another big plus is higher efficiency – it’s only 40 percent the size of conventional modems but has 4x the processing capability of its predecessor."

https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2014/02/21/tegra-note-connected/

Also announced was the KitKat upgrade and greater European and South American availability of the Tegra Note 7.

Lets hope a Tegra K1 phone with DirectStylus is also planned as I need an upgrade.

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Stock kernel provides only mtp, a custom kernel can activate ums. Or mount the sdcard via the custom recovery as a usb diskdrive.
[HTC One X] big noob:
Or go to device manager and look for yellow mark..on android phone or something and try to update them via windows update if that doesn't work try to install adb drivers..
[HTC One X] kolniklaus:
There is no yellow mark in the device manager under android phone. I already have adb drivers installed.
[HTC One X] alexmentin:
Reinstall the driver. You can install the HTC Sync for that from HTC.com. After that you can deinstall Sync.

This is due to flashing other gapps rather than the gapps provided by slimbean team. You just need to reflash the ROM with their gapps pack.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] johnspack:
Just got this bad boy maybe 2 months ago... have already tried pretty much every mod rom out there for it so far. Currently rocking Hyperdrive RLS8 with the Zeus kernel and oced. Just wanted to state my appreciation for the devs work! Have tried a few of the others here as well. I am wondering however if anyone will tackle Kitkat for my platform? Was also wondering what the average lifespan for the battery is for a galaxy note 10.1? Mine is used, and has 1 year of use already. It still charges quickly, and stays above 50% for days before next charge.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] erica_renee:
Life of Li. Batteries is Hit and miss.

Li Batteries have so many factors on how long they last.

Number of charging cycles.

Temp of the battery during use and charging

Using the device while charging or not

Rather or not you keep it on the charger after its completed charge.

MOST IMPORTANT WITH LI Batteries NEVER LET IT RUN TOTALLY DEAD. if you do totally charge it before you use it.

You will find so many other factors from different people .Even some who will say the above does not matter.

Bottom line is it can go bad in as im typing this. or last 3 years or more.

Good Luck as far as roms . Well i like all the s-pen features so i keep my note stock. I have a Nexus 7 to tinker with.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Temetka:
Glad you got a Note 10.1 as they really are wonderful tablets. I love using mine. Although I am no artist, I have scratched out an image or 2 here and there. I mainly use mine for e-books, reading various news sources, the loldroid app, and video's.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] johnspack:
Thanks, yeah, I'm glad I got the 10.1, you can do so much with it. I was a devout desktop user until I started playing with this thing, now I can't put it down! And yes, I keep the battery charge at 50% or higher to try and extend battery life. Different thoughts about li-ion batteries I'm aware of, I also use e-cigs as I quit smoking, and rule of thumb seems to be, when it's charged, unplug it. I believe the charging cycle itself is a wearing factor on the batteries, as well as allowing them to become too discharged. Completely discharging a li-ion battery is a no-no.....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] d4rkkn16ht:
Welcome to our community :D

About Li-ion Battery, the point is....HEAT is the enemy.

Why you can't let it empty, why you can't use while charging or why you should avoid placing it on direct sunlight are all about HEAT.

+40 degree Celsius will damage the battery slowly.

+60 degree Celsius may cause explosion.

The lower the temperature the longer the life expectancy of a Lithium type battery.

As of my GT-N8000,after around 1 year of use (or "abuse" as I use it heavily every day including movie, games, music, plenty synces,note taking, reading with 24/7 internet connection either 3G/WiFi :p), I manage to charge twice a day.

Occasionally I let it "rest" by only using internet (browsing & reading) and no games & other activities, it manage to last 12 - 18 hours.

After experiencing this issue randomly I gave up on wireless charging and went back to the original USB charger. It is faster and has no overheat issues.

[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
Thanks, it wasn't me but it was another poster and he was not able to access stock recovery. He said he could get into fastboot mode, but didn't get the android with the red triangle, it just shows the moto boot logo and goes back into fastboot mode with this message :

Partition (recovery) Security Version Downgraded

Boot up failed

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2657262&page=2

Ther error message sounds to me like once you upgrade the partition table to 4.4.2, it won't let you into 4.4 recovery since it is a lower version?
[Moto X Q&A] Q9Nap:
ah yeah, just read the thread, that kinda sucks. recovery version has never been an issue before iirc. well the fxz should be available pretty quickly; i'd be surprised if it isn't availalbe some time next week. i'd way rather wait for that than send in the phone and deal with tech support and refurbished devices.

this is also one of the reasons i never take ota; always wait for the fxz. then you can update just what you need: boot, system, and radio. i'm running 4.4 boot system and radio with every other partition still on 4.2.2. works fine and i always have the option to downgrade if i want to for whatever reason.
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
yeah, seems like Motorola just keeps making these updates less and less hackable.

I went the CLNR route with my GNex for hardware problems and I eventually ended up with one that was significantly better than the one I sent in. But it took me 5 to get there. Lots of the AMOLED screens were blue or yellow tinted in the CLNRs.
[Moto X Q&A] Q9Nap:
what would be really helpful for those who are bricking is someone with fully stock rooted 4.4.2 doing a dd of the recovery partition. then bricked users could fastboot the recovery to their devices and reinstall the update.
[Moto X Q&A] edthesped:
That's me, I wish I did the same with 4.2.2 but didn't know what I know now then. Now I plan on waiting for the sbf or a custom recovery flashable zip that can be reverted to 4.4 as I'll do everything in my power to keep off the "upgraded" bootloader.

[Moto X Q&A] Q9Nap:
Nothing in particular other than the ability to downgrade and/or cross flash other firmware. For most people it's not a big deal because they'll never want to do this stuff.
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
Thanks, but if you are on 4.2.2 pre-camera initial release, what is there to downgrade to? Just trying to understand all of this.
[Moto X Q&A] Q9Nap:
i am running 4.4 boot, system, and radio. all other partitions, i.e. fsg, gpt, logo, and motoboot, are still the initial release versions.

gpt and motoboot are irreversible once flashed. gpt is the partition table that contains the security levels of the other partitions and motoboot contains the security level for gpt that is checked at boot time. usually there's no reason to upgrade them because it prevents you from being able to flash partitions that have a lower security level than what they specify.

i'm not sure whether it matters as much with an unlocked bootloader, as being unlocked allows you to flash whatever you want, but gpt is still irreversible. so once gpt is upgraded, it may still prevent you from downgrading or crossflashing partitions with a lower security level than specified.

bottom line is, there's no reason to upgrade them unless you don't mind limiting your choices.
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
Ok got it. The later versions of the partition table and bootloader just lock your phone down more; they don't do anything to enhance user experience.

Thanks, that says it all. Next time I get a new phone I won't upgrade those!
