Where is Jelly Bean?

[Nelviticus]

Not very impressed with it so far. It doesn't seem any smoother than before and the 'Google' button in the top left corner now takes you to an agonisingly-slow screen where keyboard input lags by seconds and search results take forever.

Initially it would also crash when I tried to shut the tablet down but I managed to fix that with a cold boot.

So from the improvements does the browser still freeze and ask you to wait or close it?

Man I hope that bug gets fixed. That's the worst!

Hi All

Just got my update to Jelly Bean on the ATP !!! Nice surprise as I am on vacation in USA turned the TP on and update was sat waiting

Also yesterday got an upgrade to Google Play Music as well can now upload to Google Cluod etc

Who needs Apple now !!!

Awesome to hear Paul! Enjoy JB

System auto updated to JB yesterday. Interestingly enough, was using a 3g hotspot from my cell phone when it first showed up so was extremely slow. Got to the 75% mark and I had to shut down the hotspot (droid x2 was WAY hot). Got home, went wifi to the home network and bam, updated in a blink.

Some things I've noticed:
BAD
Lost root - I'm too much a newbie to figure out how to get back
Occasionally the prime will do a warm reboot when plugged in to the dock. No idea why but I'm sure its an app that was auto-loaded that may be causing a conflict. If I had root and some smarts I think I could figure it out.

GOOD
Wow! Smooth, fast interface. "Perky" is a good description. Everything I've tried seems to have a crisp response, impressive. I will probably score some of those 25cent apps just to check it out more.

PENDING
Will have to wait until the end of the day to see what the battery life is doing. This is one aspect that's critical to me as I work 10 hour shifts. Would hate to run low just because I have a new OS.

Strange.....

I'm from the UK so wonder if the reason I got the update because I am currently in the USA ? same for Google Play Music..... On my ATP I now have Google music but on my Galaxy 3 I have Google Pla but cannot purchase music from the App store but I can on the ATP

Any ideas why that is ? I download a song on the ATP and it appeared on the S3 ??? hmmmm

 

[StarScream2109]

All play music is cloud so you download on one device it'll show on all our devices

 

[Paul789]

Yes understood but what I mean't to say wasthat I can purchase music from Google Play on the ATP but when I go to Google Play on the Galaxy I can only get apps theres no option to purchase music on it

 

[StarScream2109]

Hmm...did you search for any specific music?

 

[Paul789]

No If I open Google Play Store on the Galaxy it just shows Appsonly, no options for music or videos for that matter

 

[StarScream2109]

Try searching for songs and see if they come up

Oakville, Ontario (Canada) here. Got my JB update on my TF201 on Thursday. (can't remember the time).

Did a check for updates, said an update was available. After it downloaded it reported an error (one I've seen here in other posts, can't remember which).

At first I thought I was screwed, but then I noticed a notification in the tray that said there was an update ready for installation. I pressed it, and it installed.

So far, so good.

One thing I noticed (by accident) is that if I swipe my finger up from off screen anywhere in the bottom left corner (where the Home, Back, and Running Apps buttons are) it launches Google Now.

I also received it whilst at the beach this weekend. I have to say that I was MOST impressed by the way Google search works on the tablet now. The microphone next to the Google search bar was used all weekend while looking things up.

Any other neat items noticed by our brothers and sisters who have been messing with it?

Which version of the Transformer do you have? If it's the Infinity you will have to wait a while while they tweak JB specifically because of the Facebook issue.

See here: Jelly Bean update for ASUS Transformer Prime TF201 is here. Infinity still delayed

"...so now it

 

[Netherdragon]

installed JB now and everything seems smother, havent hit any browser wait errors in chrome wither yet.

however, Dolphin browser, boat browser and the tegra zone app are all screwed... all just crash and don't open, will be re-installing later to test but i'm really hoping this can be fixed with a simple re-install.

anyone else had issue with some apps?

 

[breadnatty08]

JB Threads merged, thanks for understanding.

Honestly, this is great! Nice having JB on all 3 of my devices.

I've tested Dolphin and Firefox and they both run smooth as silk on my Prime since the update. I wonder what may be giving you the problem. None of the apps I've used, so far, have had any problems running.

@mjschmidt thanks a lot for the response ... I have the Transformer Prime TF201 ... thanks for the info by the way, I've never posted on a forum before, and figured it would just be an easy way to contact me. I did a bunch of searches for any problems, but it's like you said, the TF201 is ready to be updated, but it still isn't working with facebook. Any more info would be greatly appreciated.

well i know that the update for the Transformer infinity was delayed due to issues with the Facebook app not playing nice with the keyboard. May be something to do with that.

Can't confirm myself if i'm affected by the same issue as i don't use Facebook but i'm sure someone else can test the Prime with the Facebook app when its not docked into the keyboard dock and let you know.

 

[alackman]

Ive just tested it, and it would seem the same. I am unable to pull the virtual keyboard up with the facebook app.

 

[Birdmancometh]

Even the keyboard dock doesn't work with facebook .. it's so sad I'm on here complaining about a keyboard on facebook, but I only use my tablet for social media and work (which are tied together), so this is a big issue for me

Given that the keyboard issue was fixed for the infinity withing 3 days and the update for that released, I wouldn't be surprised if ASUS deploy a patch to fix this by the end of the week.

They obviously are aware of the issue so i'm gonna say just wait for an update soon.

 

[Oblig]

And still no update for me in UK

 

[Birdmancometh]

another update! yes! (shakes head...)
