Yes, there is also a 64GB model. But I really don't know what filled the whole memory space.... The ES-File-Explorer Analysis, shows me only about 10GB of files (what I truely had stored). But the limit was nearly reached, and I had no possibility to see what file junk it was, or where it was stored.... But it was a lot....:silly:
[Asus Transformer TF700] ppfrank:
Don't confuse "Built-in Storage Memory" with "System Memory (RAM)". The TF700T came with either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage memory which is used to store data and apps etc. All models came with 1GB of System Memory (RAM) which is used to run the operating system programs and apps. The more apps that are being run simultaneously the more RAM is consumed. I would assume that the out of memory error is related to System Memory (RAM), not storage memory caused by running too many apps or an app that consumes a large number of memory resources. Below are the published specs:

HARDWARE

System chip: NVIDIA Tegra 3

Processor: Quad-core, 1600 MHz

Graphics processor: 12-core GPU

System memory: 1 GB RAM

Built-in storage: [+]32 GB

Storage expansion: microSD, microSDHC
[Asus Transformer TF700] megaequs:
Maybe that was my bad english..... I know the difference between Ram and internal storage ;)

And I mean that the internal storage (64GB) seemed to be nearly full (55GB of 56GB - real amount of Data Size). But my own Files, that I stored where about 10GB. What was using the other 45GB of the space? (Yes, I called it memory in the last post, my fault)

Whats the FU**ing deal with browsers!? MAN, I've had 3 custom ROM's on this TF700 (not including the original) and EVERY bloody one has a problem with browsers; crashing, taking 4-5 minutes loading a page, NEVER loading a page, etc. I've tried Dolphin and Firefox.

Everything else always runs dandy - just the fn' browsers (can you tell I've had enough?).

Can SOMEONE give me an idea of what's going on?

Try the built-in browser, huge difference

Can someone help me as I can't set up wallpaper for some reason ?? I set it up at beginning and it was disappearing every now and then. At the moment I can't set it up at all??
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Or Lightning Browser, Maxthon even.

Think: very light footprint. Dolphin is an elephant, Firefox is a very slow and bloated elephant (the Android version always sucked).

For this I/O handicapped tablet you have to avoid the elephants and find the mosquitoes that still do the trick.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
BTW Lightning Browser just had an update a few days ago and still works great on my TF700...
[Asus Transformer TF700] thierryoeil:
Hi, thank you so much, i've tried it and so far it was good.

but i have an other strange issue : when i'm over with the tab and i close it, sometimes some apps appear in backround without any reason after i wake up the tab, and the heating issue is back !!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] RBraverman:
Workin' on it - thanks for the suggestion.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

But this is a good point none-the-less (there is a 64gb model). How DOES one find out where "all the storage has gone"?

I've got a old T300/16gb and all it's telling me no matter which app I try, is that it only has 9 + gb of storage - of which I have 100mb left which is impossible - both in the 8+ it claims I've used and the 9+ it claims I started out with.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

I really don't see these as crappy. I've 3 of them, and other than the broswer problems I write both novels and programs on them (when I have to) and read. Remember these ARE not bew - I believe my T300 is about - what 8-10 years old?

Which cache are you talking about? Not the Dalvik cache.

Lightning Browser is nice, don't like the 10 tab limit, but that DOES make me pay attention. Also do not like the pay-to-block idea, but that's the way it is. Opera Mini Beta is Okay as well, (I'm going through ALL of them) but you can't change the default search engine.

I've almost no problems with any of my tablets - now with Katkiss - other than browsers and the odd, now and then, opening it up and having to wait a few till it starts humming.

When you're too poor to pay attention, you learn to do with what you have.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
To help clear any confusion, I see there are now two Lightning browsers in the play store.

One is by Mobile Studios Development, the other by Anthony Restaino. The one you want is the one by Anthony Restaino.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RBraverman:
That's the one I'm using - didn't see the other.:p

An update: Lightning crashed and did not reopen tabs - 9 that had a lot of info that I was bouncing back and forth with. Trying Opera, which as of right now, seems much faster than Firefox.

But I have noticed that if, when I open the tablet, it 'starts up' pretty quickly then everything will run fine. If it doesn't, I need to put to sleep/wake it, 1 - 3 times then it's "usually" okay.

Don't know what that's about.
[Asus Transformer TF700] megaequs:
So what's about the build in Browser? Did you try it? I can only confirm what [MENTION=4052505]woekje[/MENTION] say. It is a real difference. Try uninstalling all other browsers, the google stuff (like the google app and chrome) and keep the system as clean as you can.

The build-in browser makes all other browsers unnecessary (for me). Thank you [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION]
[Asus Transformer TF700] Unidave199:
I also know that running a 'heavy' launcher is not helping either. As much as I love Nova Launcher, I switched back to the stock Tribuchet Launcher and saw a vast increase in performance....
[Asus Transformer TF700] megaequs:
I can't confirm this with Apex launcher (Pro). It's running great. Didn't notice any deterioration in performance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Unidave199:
Try Tint Browser. Very Light and has a handy feature to 'recall last visited site' when you open it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tint&hl=en

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------

My main problem was trying to launch a split screen using a webpage and a Word Document at the same time. I found by ditching Nova, it went much, much smoother. Perhaps the PRO version of Apex has something to do with it, or perhaps its just that Apex is better. Either way, I also decided that having 2 (or more) launchers loaded on the tablet was a bit of a waste. Sure it looked nice, but I decided to go for function over form.. :laugh::good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] RBraverman:
I tried the built-in and didn't like it. I really need the browser I use to re-open the tabs I have open, if/when it crashes. And I need access - easily - to the history (I tend to bounce around a lot). Opera, not mini, so far has been stellar actually.

BUT ... I'm sure that will change. I've backed up and frozen (via Titanium Pro) all the browsers I've tried fand dismissed - this way before I try ANOTHER, I can see if I have already tried it.

I just don't understand this, I can watch HD videos 2gb in size effortlessly, transfer large files to and from the tab, but the bloody browser gives me problems. If I NEVER used the browser I'd never know there was any problem.

---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ----------

Ok, that was going to be my next "observation". I use an older version of GoLauncherPro (V4.x) and, as I was looking through all the stuff I have, that is one of about 4-5 apps that is on ALL my tabs, Total Commander (I've used this since Norton Commander Dos was abandoned) as I like the access to webdav folders and FTP/LAN Access built-in. I also use MultiWallpaper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture&hl=en

I don't see GoLauncher taking up much resources but I could be wrong, anyone have ideas about this?

Maybe we should have a list of apps that aren't the most friendly and the alternatives, wouldn't be a really terrible idea. Eh?
[Asus Transformer TF700] spondulicks:
Thank you for this forum! I was able to flash nougatella for my TF700 the other day. All in all performance is great, just noticed the device getting too hot when using it for a bit. Coming from a complete wipe, the device gets hot faster than the MM build.. Anyways, Thanks and more power! :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] megaequs:
You can try to set CPU governor to "Ondemand" under Settings->Performance->CPU Gov (don't forget to set it also at boot). but [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] recomends to find out which app is causing this heat (mostly apps that have a constant i/o behavior like google app, google chrome and so on)
[Asus Transformer TF700] gti16vman:
So I followed all of the steps and got it flashed, thanks! My problem is that now the only way the screen works is if it is plugged in and not into the dock, power cord straight in bottom of tablet. It works perfectly fine when plugged in, but as soon as the cable is removed, the screen turns off. I redid the whole process from scratch and still the same thing. I have searched and seen some people have had this issue without a ROM installed, but it seems odd that it just started (4-5yrs after owning it) when I was doing this. I have tried everything I can think of in display settings and developer options to no avail. Any ideas from anyone what might get the screen back to working when it is not plugged in?
[Asus Transformer TF700] megaequs:
Does the screen turns on in recovery without the charger? Do you try another rom? And do you mean only the screen turns off, or the whole tablet is turning off (so that you have to boot it again). Never heard about an odd issue like this.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Skyjumper_GR:
My bestbexpirience with this ROM:

Clean New installiert (ROM, Gapps, SuperSu)

CPU Min - 475

CPU Max - 1800

CPU governer - ondemand

I/O scheduler - deadline

Format MicroSD (class10) in a PC with two Partition.

1.Partition fat32

2.Partition swap (1000-2000MB)

Install an SwapApp like "Roehsoft Ram-expander.apk"

Use the Swap-Partition in MicroSD for swap.

The Tablet works smooth and without big lags.
[Asus Transformer TF700] megaequs:
Does the ROEHSOFT RAM-EXPANDER app increase the performace noticeable? Because it costs about 10$ and a TF700 user reported, that the app does not make a big difference.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
Just another thought...it might be that the battery needs replaced and this ROM just made it show up. I know that's not a happy thought but it could be the problem. Of course you would want to verify this somehow, maybe going back to stock ROM and see if it works properly.

Does it charge to 100%?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gti16vman:
Screen turns off, but I can plug back in a few minutes later and it is in the same place. Doesn't die like the battery is dead.

Yes, it charges to 100% and when it is plugged into a port on the laptop, it slowly drains. The strange thing is, without it plugged in, I know it is working fine, just no screen. I can power it up with no power cord in it and a minute later, plug in the cable and it is at the unlock screen. The vibration works when you turn it on. I have seen that others have had this same issue (most were a few years back), but never found anyone that had a solution outside sending it in to Asus under warranty.
[Asus Transformer TF700] megaequs:
So if the screen problem also persist in recovery menu and on other roms, it seems to be a hardware problem...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Petfish:
Tablet turns itself off?

I have installed this rom and it works fine other than something weird - the tablet turns itelf off after a few minutes of inactivity. I have searched xda everywhere for a solution, and looked at everything I can think of in the settings, and can't find why. Have I missed something stupid?

TIA

I think there is no right button (for windows to open context menus). But the right mouse click is emulated by long press on the dock mouse button.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Coaster750:
I am a newby to this - almost. I flashed a new ROM on my Galaxy S2 a couple of years ago but that is about it. Then, I had a very detailed "idiots guide". Is there such a thing for this ROM please? I've looked at the install instructions at the top of this thread and it means pretty much zilch to me.

I've not read every post on these 63 pages but have not yet found what I am looking for.

I am keen to upgrade the ROM for several reasons including that I need to install an App that needs Android 4.4 or above. Also, the tablet is virtually unusable it is that slow.

If anyone knows of a link to how to do this, I am pretty sure I would be able to do this and would be eternally grateful.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
This is an outline of what I did to flash mine, maybe it will help you. It is on a different forum though:

http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...tkiss-marshmallow-6-0-1-rom-2.html#post355949

Read back a few posts when you get there. The thing to remember is to totally understand what you are going to do before you do it. So don't be worried about asking too many questions. The stupid questions are the ones that don't get asked.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Coaster750:
Many thanks.

I'm stuck at the first word of your proceedure though (no idea what a "bootloader" is even) so will need to read back as you suggest.

Thanks again and I'll let you know how I get on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Petfish:
I have tested again and yeah, if it goes to sleep, that is it - rebooting is the only way I can find to bring it back. I tried the settings to wake it up from the keyboard in Settings>Dock and they don't wake it up either.

My main use case is to use this while playing guitar live to give me chords and lyrics so going to sleep and then requiring a reboot is NOT what I need. I put the ROM on a second TF700 that I bought to be a backup to the main one. Unless there is a fix for this I will have to flash the new one back to the Lollipop ROM.

Any help in fixing this gratefully accepted. :(

But why does the right button work in Katkiss Android 5.1 and not in android 6 and 7?
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
You don't need to know what it does. You need to know that it is unlocked. If you boot the TF700 normally as it starts up look in the upper left corner of the screen for a message about "this device is unlocked". If you don't see it, you'll need a magnifying glass to see it if you're an old fart like me, then you need to obtain an app Asus Unlock tool V7. I don't think version 8 will work. If you can find both get them. Install 7 first and try unlocking the boot loader. You'll know it worked when it works. You might have to attempt it several times to unlock it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Coaster750:
Finally managed to unlock the thing! Tried loads of times including factory reset and phoning ASUS. What a waste of time they were! Apparently, it is nothing to do with them that their unlocking software doesn't work. They would only give me Google's phone number.

I tried the suggestion of registering my TF700 at ASUS. The serial number was on there a few years ago as I sent it back for repair, which they failed to fix. But, even though it knew what model it was from the serial number, it said it was an invalid serial number. The guy on the phone at ASUS would not sort this out for me. I have also had ineffective dealings with them over a faulty motherboard and they seem to be a total shower.

The solution that worked for me was to factory reset and then not create the Google account when it reboots - as suggested on a forum somewhere. I just passed through those screens and tried the unlock tool again. Worked like a charm. It seems that if it detects a Google account, it tries to verify it but ASUS and Google have crossed wires somewhere and it gets into some sort of loop. I tried dozens of times with a password that I know works.

I'll try to understand the rest of the process tomorrow.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
Yeah, I forgot about that issue (CRS syndrome comes with old age). I just deleted the account and then ran the unlock tool and it worked. No matter if you're going to flash a ROM. End result is what counts.

Now....if you get into trouble flashing this, someone else here will need to take over answering your questions. I'm as big a n00b as there is :) and might not be able to give you a correct answer.

But damn, I love success stories!

Hey guys,

Just installed on the tf700t and its causing the device to run quite hot now, running latest version and kang twrp recovery.

Search the thread next time please...

Follow the instruction from OP (with formatting to f2fs) and install the rom. Don't install google App and google chrome. use the build-in browser for surfing the web. for the heating issue go to Settings->Performance->CPU Gov and set it from "interactive" to "ondemand" and check the box "set at boot". But [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] himself suggested to find out, which app is causing the heat.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gaeilgeganeagla:
I did search the thread, This heat is caused as soon as the device turns on with no apps running. Also I followed the Instructions at the start. This heat was there before I installed gaps and after so its not that thats causing the issue. I tried setting to ondemand and the set at boot did not solve the issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] megaequs:
How long did you wait, to let the system settle? And did you uncheck the the Media Scanner filters from Settings? Try wipe and Install everything again - Rom+SU+GAPPs, wipe Cache and dalvik cache from recovery before the first boot. After it boots up, untick the media scanner from settings, login and update all apps from playstore. Reboot. After it boots up again, turn off the screen for maybe an hour. Then check if the tablet gets hot again. setting the maximum CPU frequency to 1500Mhz will also reduce the heat. Report us

Using .23 on TF700 I just noticed this:

Plug in charger and start charging

Turn off tablet with charger still charging

When battery gets to 100% the tablet turns on

Is this by design? or Can't be avoided?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
AFAIK the 700 always booted when you connect it to power. But right away, not when the battery is full. You sure on that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
Yup...I saw it happen a couple days ago. So I purposely ran it down to about 75% and hooked it up to test my theory out. I can do it again just to make sure, no doubt *I* can be wrong. :)I also think this timed out the screen, so I came along and disconnected the power. Don't recall seeing the screen come on and I set it down thinking now it is fully charged as the green light was on. Now I'm thinking it is off. A few hours later I pick it back up and touch the power button and it came right on with the battery at 75%. This is when I tested my theory.

EDIT: I just repeated the procedure again from 99%. Got to 100% and sure enough I heard it vibrate and saw it boot up.
