Just got a firmware update downloading, will report back soon. Though it seems to be large. I think its jellybean.

Edit: Confirmed to be jellybean. Installing now!

Second Edit: Installed successfully and ota rootkeeper restored root without any problems. Whole process took about 20 minutes.

I have to say, after about an hour, it feels much snappier. Most of the lag that was in the ICS version is gone.

Curious if the Netflix app is still super laggy or not.

It's a little better once images are loaded. But while loading images for the shows/movies it is still extremely laggy and freezes a lot.

BIG CAT 7

Downloading now, can't wait to take JB for a spin!!!!!!!!

sikclown

Installed and putting it through it's paces now. So far the Stock Browser is faster to load the entire page and feels like it browses faster.

Netflix is still frustratingly slow to load but I wonder if that will change if they optimize it for JB.

Yep, just got the JB update over here in Thailand. Update went without issue.

It's a bit late now, will try it out tomorrow.

ghostyjack

I've got it to in the UK.

To be honest, I'm not seeing much improvement with lag. That could be because I didn't see much in the first place. Coming from an original Samsung Galaxy Tab (stuck with Froyo), the Infinity was a massive improvement anyway.

TexasBadger

Installing JB in Dallas right now. Upgraded home Wi-Fi last Friday to 58 Mbps down and 38 Mbps up. Life is good!

d/l as i type this. in da ROC.

Me too! Me too! (installing now)

xmetalfan99

I can't get mine to find the update when told to search for it. Any suggestions?

snuggles

I just got my update!

Skittlez

just downloaded and went to install, goes to a black screen(screen on with nothing on it.) Went to bootloader and clicked wipe data, and i think it was Jelly Bean that started but then it just shut off on me and went to the black screen again. anyone else have the issue and/or know how to fix it?

TexasBadger

JB is faster and smoother than ICS. The new browser meant new passwords on all my bookmarked websites and ICS Browser+ is now dead. So are video sites using Flash, like PBS TV. There is supposedly a way to sideload and install Flash on JB. I'll have to research that. Face unlock works better, even with blinking. Google's "Search Now" is pretty slick, and so are the expandable notifications.

Bottom line: JB is a definite upgrade.

cambo1

All very good except Swype doesn't work properly with jelly bean..

rscarawa

I downloaded JB too. There are some improvements but still see lag everyonce in a while. My Nexus S4 G has the same issue. JB on my phone is nothing to brag about for sure but it seems to work better on my tablet.

panras

Just upgraded to JB. Everything works fine except camera and gallery. Anyone else facing this issue? Any idea what could be possible reason?

Krakatau

Mmmm...PB-JB sandwich is yummier than the Ice Cream Sandwich! Somethings still lag, but definitely smoother overall. Quadrant's I/O score still well below TF201's.

pucrepeap

I gotta be honest,

I don't see a whole lot of improvement with the JB update. Not that I had much to complain about before. My infinity actually ran great before the update, and still runs great after. But I don't see a huge difference. Not looking forward to no flash, but I'm sure there will be a work around. I am excited about Google Now though.

What other differences should I be looking for with Jelly Bean?

Vildy

Just upgraded to Jelly Bean.. Lost my "Quick Settings Panel" at the bottom right side of screen.. Having to go into "Settings" from Apps panel to do to do just about everything. Bummer!!! Haven't test drove any other apps yet..ASA I figure out how to restore QSP I will report back..

jerofld

Before taking the update, I copied the file from the cache folder. So, if you still can't get the update, and you have the US version (US version only!!!) then I have the update file:

johnlgalt

I just got the update myself. I meant to check yesterday but forgot. I also meant to copy it from/cache but forgot. C'est la vie!

Mine still works....did you perchance perform a factory reset before installing the update? I did *NOT*.....

takehiro12

Just got my update yesterday, took about 15-20 minutes. Did one cold boot about half an hour after it finished. First impressions are that the tablet has continued to improve, even more than it did with the firmware updates. Everything is zippy and smooth with very little lag, but I haven't yet had time to test all my apps. Enjoyed playing around with Google Now. Siri, watch your back!

Vildy

Thanks.. No factory resets..Just downloaded w/o cold boot or backups. Still not working.. I've gone through all of the various settings in "Settings > ASUS customizing settings > Use ASUS Quick Setting, etc, etc... Still not working..Looks like something that I'm force to live with.... sigh....

Vildy

Update... I'm having other issues (it just may be me, I'm not a techie) but I've decided to reset everything back to factory default (Go to SETTINGS - BACKUP & RESET - FACTORY RESET) and start from scratch.

Speed Daemon

Mine's stick at 14%. C'mon! Get on with it...

[GUIDE] How to update your firmware OTA - incremental changes & full OS updates.

It worked fine for me. Now on Jelly Bean.

you2

Yea; weirdest thing the JB update made the speakers super loud.

mgullick

Installed JB. I find the browser still sucks. Loads slowly and crashes/closes on me. All of my eBooks are now showing up twice. What's up with that?

I installed the JB update and then did a cold boot. After it started again I did another "regular" shutdown and restart. Results are as stated above.

panras

I was facing challenge with camera and gallery. Did factory reset after installing Jelly bean. Working awesome now. JB is very smooth and fast as compared to IC. Reloded all apps and tested.... Everything working fine.

mgullick

Soooooooooooooo........... wiping the unit and starting over is the fix then? Sigh...

Vildy

UPDATE...

My rig...TF700 64g internal drive... 64g SD card.. Had it about 2 months. Before Jelly Bean, everything was as smooth as silk.. Could play my own movies, music and read books faultless from external SD card. No lags, glitches, etc..

After Jelly Bean update, lost Quick setting panel, lagged on movies and music from SD card. Epub books rendered mirror image double paged pages in landscape mode i.e, I had two pages 1, two page 2, two page 3, yada yada yada..

Did factory reset and wiped out all data. Did not enable WiFi b/c I did not want it to re-download Jelly Bean. But it did not roll back to Ice Cream 4.0.3. like I thought it would..It retailed Jelly Bean 4.1.1. Okay, I'll play along..Guess what, I still have the same issues. So, if I can't get it back to the silky smoothness of Ice Cream, I will be sending it back. Maybe Jelly Bean corrupted something or exposed something lurking in the background..

Hope everyone else is not experiencing any major issues...You know, there is always one in the bunch that will have problems, so I guess it's my turn in the barrel. But, I still love my rig and will not bad mouth it to anyone

agentjonnyb

So far so good here - over 48 hours of constant use with JB update, and seems to be rid of all lag that was there when using my bluetooth mouse (it actually lagged quite a bit in ICS). I declare myself impressed with this update, it is significantly smoother, and I am constantly doing a lot of HD video playback, browsing, Splashtopping, etc. So glad they are continuing to get it right -ICS was a phenomenal first step to stabilizing and refining Android. JB is a success!

Hope the next update (major one, like 5.0) will give us the split-screening of apps like what Win8 gets - that would be awesome!!

LATEST UPDATE:

In email contact with Asus support trying get everything resolved. If we can not resolve things, I will request RMA for new tablet or a refund.

johnlgalt

Since you're talking to them, that's good. I would suggest taking your laptop back to ICS if possible and then reapplying the update yourself. (Aside - is there a way to install factory default software? I've been to the ASUS website and I can get all of the Updates downloaded - but I'm looking more for a complete system package, like in Motorola Phones formerly called .SBFs and currently called .FXZs...any ideas on this for these tablets? That would sure help....)

My update was not 100% error free - but I don't know if this is caused by the game I'm playing or JB - but The Bard's Tale will continually freeze, then cause the machine to reboot, when I am playing, particularly when I am in a heavy combat situation.

I'm considering performing a factory reset anyway, since JB, even though it is a minor version update, may, in fact, work out better with a factory update to replace apps that were updated in ICS that now need to be re-updated with GB versions.

FWIW - a Factory reset will wipe data but not the system files - it doesn't wipe everything and install a virgin OS as it was from the factory, like with computers.

You can get a dual-pane file mananger now - look at Solid Explorer Beta 2.

Yes, I know this is only the file manager, but it's a step in the right direction.

Thanks, didn't know that

johnlgalt

No worries. you're not the only one - the term is a bit confusing especially because the similarly named app on most laptops to wipe and reinstall freshly. I've seen at least 6 different users ask the exact same question on XDA.

ocnbrze

WOOOOOHOOOOO

got me some:



so i downloaded the update last night and i just installed it about an hour ago. so far it seems a little laggy right now. i'm gonna power it off and reboot it and see if that helps. and so far it has made the dolphin browser way slow. almost to the point where i need to search for a different one. the only thing is i have not found another browser that i like. i love dolphin's ease of getting to your bookmarks.

gonna play with it some more and see if i run into other issues.

I just received my new replacement from Best Buy this morning, battery in tablet and dock are fully charged but im still on 4.0.3 and when i search for the update it says there isn't one available.

Any tricks ?

After having JB for a few days I have noticed some things I don't like. It seems I have to tap the screen harder than before to get it to respond, sometimes when I hit the wrong key the backspace button wont work until I tap the screen (I'm using the keyboard dock) and I don't like the new Google search in the top left hand corner. Also, with ICS, it would remember things like the store number and my customer number in the Food Lion survey I take. I will update on other "bugs" as I find them. I'm no techie but I want stuff to work the way it should. I hope Asus and Google read these forums to see where they need to improve and wish they would get the updates free of their quirks before they're released.
That being said, it did fix the problem of not being able to pay bills with my online banking which was a big problem imo. Oh, and that annoying thin line that flashes on my screen from time to time only happens on this forum
