I have no problems with ICS..How about you?

Not bragging, just a contrast. Also not trying to advocate. But, that said, i did an earnest Ota update, getting great results. No force closes, the few quirks that it has are no worse or more noticeable than any other ROM, screen flicker, touch errors etc, i don't expect everything to be perfect ( it is a man made device, nothing is perfect) but it is greatly improved.
ICS made the device responsive and customizable enough to forgive the dead pixels and the dust under my camera's lens. Happy with my decision to buy a tf101 instead of the 201.

Same. I am not getting my panties wet over ICS but I have no complaints.
No screen tearing/flickering, no battery drain, no force closes, no random reboots.
It's literally just as stable as it was before ICS.
I did do a factory reset before flashing the rooted ICS rom with CWM.
However, I did notice some lag and screen flickering immediately after upgrading.
Did a cold reboot and that seems to have fixed it.

Same with me. No problems with ICS. Everything just so so much better. Very very fast and smooth. I formatted the system in CWM as well as all the usual wipes (cache, dalvik etc) before I installed and that was almost two days ago now.
No issues. ICS rocks! The chrome browser is awesome also I must say. Its my default browser already even in beta.

love ICS, installation was smoth, everything works OK,
But I got two random reboots in two days - this is a mayor issue that hope will be fixed asap.
Happy overall.

+1... no problems here either ..
My TF has improved by at least a 100% from HC! .. and its not even custom roms yet! ..
couldn't be happier ...

everything is ok until now

Little pointless treahd but no i haven't had any problem with the OS it self.

No major issues
Well everything seems to be fast n responsive to me. Battery life has also noticeably improved. Was initially disappointed with stock browser and Chrome, but ICS Browser + solved the issue. Encountered a couple of FC's for Asus Task Manager, but otherwise is very good. Overall pretty happy camper here

I am satisfied with ICS, it was the main reason I got the TF101 2 weeks ago: I bought it in an offer from local Amazon with the intention of returning it in 30 days if ICS is not out or if the things promissed with it were not real, BUT:
I went with the full CWM update, no issues, no FC, no random reboots, no unusual battery drain, for now the only 2 problems seems to be a rare screen flicker once in a while (mostly occurring when trying Live wallpaper), and the non-working USB, but I don't care as I don't use it: I sync the files I need with a NAS storage and "ES File Manager". There is a zip that fix it, but I don't need it for now, waiting for revolver 4.
in general, I am 90% satisfied with ICS, while with HC I was less than 50% satisfied.
Update:
USB fixed, 91% satisfied now.

With ICS the Transformer is working like it shold have when its released. Im so happy that the "beta times" with Honeycomb are over.
Flashed the full stock Asus package via CWM with full wipe and had no reboots, flickering or FCs.
Best OS that my Transformer has ever seen.

No problems here... No reboots, no other quirks... I did an official ICS update and then rooted and Cwm... I have believe that is the crucial difference between those having problems and those not.

Am I allowed to post?
I have a couple of issues but I trust ASUS to issue further updates to handle them.
The last Honeycomb update seemed to cause some extra random hanging so I am glad to be off that.
Today I noticed one of my apps was hanging due to an unsupported operation exception. Bit annoying but the browser improvements alone are worth a temp problem in one or two apps.

For me its great. Much faster.

Hi guys , for me everything is fine except the sound ! The sound is lower than HC particularly in Skype,youtube,video etc. Notifications and games sound is good.
Has anyone similar problem ?

Big time sound loss!

Disagree with this post, as the threads have been a nonstop ***** and moan season for some on their problems.
This is a useful thread as if enough people write up in it that they have had little or no problems with the upgrade from the main ROMs used,
Then the Minority that do have problems can be rest assured that usually with the right advice... They can get a clean stable OS going..
+ 1 on mine.. No major problems.. If anything I am experiencing better picture/screen resolution..
Don't know why but it looks sharper and depth of color is a little better..
Tapatalk was grainy on the white background.. Now it's sharp..
Just streamed a 720 mkv off the LAN share and didn't miss a beat in MXplayer either.
-1 sound through speakers is lower.. But I am sure a fix well be presented shortly..

For now, all looks fine with ics. Tablet works as supposed to do .
But i lost CMW! How to restore? Please some suggestion, thanks!

Was experiencing freezing and reboots.
All gone after a wipe. Couldn't be better.

Not a single problem now...my steps in getting the update was...I Formatted...then used the Full update cwm zip. I did however notice a screen tear while on home screen pressing recent button...but since a reboot...it's gone. My tab has been on since Friday morning with no hiccups.

I believe this is key. I completely wiped and started from .13 and upgraded 3 times. Restored some apps with TB and all is well. Had 1 reboot but that was probably my fault.

I have found that Asus has put the governor modules to go from interactive when on to conservative when in deep sleep. This is what is causing the random DS issues. Reinstalled SetCPU and put governor to interactive to overuse Asus module and all is well.

Unresponsive/rebooting tab

Soo ever since friday my tab has been going wild..
Itll just randomly become unresponsive and then reboot.
It started once i hooked it up to charge on a ferry... which makes me worry. however, i do have chrome on it. I figured after it came out of beta itd be fine, and its run fairly well up until recently.
Im stock rooted, running latest ota. Locked boot loader... though I tried to unlock before, but since im a c4okct there was a time where my sn wasnt recorded, and that's when I attempted to unlock.
Now, im worried that my tab is possibly fried, and im stuck without warrenty.
Does anyone have any ideas either way?
Thank you in advance and sorry for the rambling, i just tried to cover all the bases.
Ps - isnt ics supposed to be built off 3.0 kernel? I just noticed that this tab apparently is built on 2.6

Over the past several weeks my Pad would randomly decide the touch screen will no work forcing a paper clip restart. Tonight it has decided it will not recognize either battery is charged and will not see the once in the dock. Do I have a Lemon?

When I reset my tab it at first works well. Then as it goes on it just goes to hell. Its main problem is graphicly demanding things, like gmail animations make it crash, and so does Google Music. Google Play store also is pretty laggish (I notice a trend with google products). I want to unlock it and install CM to see if it fixes anything, but I'm worried about losing warranty. Any thoughts?

Tried reset but still have the issue. The power off icon randomly pops up and then it reboots. 3 times today so far. Followed the guide in this thread and hope it's fixed with updated firmware. Regret buying now, dull screen with horrible bleed, poor io performance, and reboots make it super unreliable.

Games not working as they are supposed to...

Hi friends, this is my first thread in this forum and i'm a complete noob in android.
i got my note 2 on 7 dec and it has been running nicely but i got a problem from some 1 to 2 days ago, i have some games in my phone and have been playing since i got the phone but now there's a problem, when i play each game it gets stuck for few milliseconds then running with more than normal speed and this process is going on continuously(i.e. stopping for some ms and running with more than normal speed again and again, so we can say in general that the games are running with more than normal speed)
Please help me on this one and provide some solution, thanks in advance
[extra details: i tried uninstalling some games when i thought it might be their problem, but it didn't fix the problem.]
(i can add a video if you want)

Stock rom or custom. .. kernel? ... what games is this happening on. ..etc are the details that are needed

I think I might be having this same problem, though not with the same gravity as you do. For instance, sometimes while playing something like Temple Run, the game will get stuck for a few milliseconds and then as soon as it starts again the game would run on super speed for a few milliseconds, thus essentially resulting in the death of my character as I wouldn't be able to control it. It's almost as if the system is compensating for being sruck fir those few milli seconds. But this happens once in maybe 10 games, and I haven't yet seen it in any other game. This never used to happen when I was playing the same game on any other android devices I had. Maybe it's a bug in some note 2 decices, or maybe a bug in the game itself?

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.

can this be because of some app i installed?
and @SacGuru in my phone it is happening the same but really fast and continuously so you know there's continuity but because of constantly getting stuck it does not make the game look good and also this happening all of the games, and when i tried uninstalling and installing again it didnt solve my problem but what it did was delete all my savegames

oh hey guys i just figured out the problem, sorry for your time lol, it was an app which used to start power saving mode on its own i turned it off a few times and then i got suspicious and found the app and changed its settings and now everything is working fine
BTW thanks for your help

I told you so ...lol. ....anyways good to be of help

Graphical artifacts possibly GPU damage

Hi everyone, this is my first thread on XDA. Now that we have the pleasantries out of the way ... straight to the point. I just bought a Nexus 7 2nd edition/2013. Being the power user that I am (still haven't rooted it xD ) started trying out some emulators as a test, namely ppsspp and dolphin for android. Both of those are in development and highly unstable.
It's worth to mention that my first day of use was flawless. Here it comes ... BUT ... after messing around with dolphin I managed to well simply crash the OS. The tablet completely shut down, probably to prevent damage (e.g. bluescreen style). When I switched it back on everything seemed fine, until I played a video and I noticed that blacks/browns were pixelated (like artifacts). I installed the video game Magic 2014 and I'm unsure if I noticed it before or if it happened just now but during the intro I get the same issue with blacks - highly pixelated, and one of the images has 3 or 4 lines. In game performance is smooth and absolutely no issues.
The ppsspp and dolphin emulators both have options which push the CPU/GPU and memorry quite a lot. The tablet however hasn't been heating up at all.
What do you think ? Have I damaged my 3 day old nexus baby's GPU ? Or is it a software - driver issue ? Maybe something else
Help me oh great xda crowd

Yoga Tab 3 Pro

Hello all,
I bought this device 2 days ago. Since there isn't much info about it yet, I thought I'd post some benchmark results and my personal experiences with it:
Antutu 5.7.1 64bit: 46929
Antutu 5.7.1 32bit: 44842
A1 SD Bench:
Tests done on internal memory
Sequential read: 110,8MB/s
Sequential write: 45.69MB/s
Random read: 48.72MB/s
Random write: 1.47MB/s
Browser experience is acceptable. But webpages using javascripts are lagging like a older generation tablet (like my old Asus transformer TF700). When I turned off java scripts in chrome, it was much smoother, but missing features provided by java script.
Sound is loud and clear. Some distortion at the highest levels though. Still the best tablet sound you can get I reckon.
Screen is really bright and crispy. Had some minor issues with the touch. A couple of times it hasn't been responsive. But after reboot it has been ok again.
Projector feature is cool. Don't really have anything to compare with. But I watched Terminator Genesis on a white wall in a dark room, and it's really a nice experience for a portable device. I travel alot with work, so as an entertainment system on the go this suits me fine.

yeah, Lenovo starts to Microsoft more and more as time goes on...
a new version, minor changes more expensive, same (bad) experience
Lenovo Yoga Tab 65.2 Pro huh? buzz inside, lenovo outside, tap for daa deee daa doo, now as a preinstalled system app (dadedado_v23.4.apk)

I've had it since 24 oct. Love the HW, hate the SW. Chrome is really laggy/slow. And I have the issue with the screen not recognizing touches several times, really annoying.
I will use it mostly for watching movies/series while travelling so I'll survive anyway, but it should not perform this poorly! I hope an OTA will fix this..
Edit: The multitask is also really bad. Why would they change the stock one for something that slow??

Had mine a couple of days. Everything fine apart from browser. Chrome slow and Dolphin crashes all the time. Sound excellent and screen and projector above expectation. Battery superb.

hi, is there a way to root it yet?

I just got an OTA update which brings us the multi tasking / recent apps from stock Android and an overall better performance with less stuttering.
Awesome!!

Thanks for the heads up. Funny there was no notification. Seems to be a new kernel build .
As for rooting it looks like this should work http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096
AYOR. Haven't had time to try yet.

Yeah, that tiny update (18mb) fixed alot! Keep it up Lenovo!
---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------
Thank god for the update. Fixed my main issues. Anyone know what restmode is? (the "moon" in notification bar)

Seems to increase screen timeout in 3 steps by 30secs/step.

Just got mine today. Very happy with it as it's my first non Samsung tablet.
Just a small question: is there a way to use multi window on this tablet?

my tab 2 10 inch when watch youtube MKX 1080p 60fps with 50%brightness and max volume in one hour consume 20%, how about yours

Hey all. I received this tablet today and love the screen and sound quality. The projector is adequate for tv shows/films and overall, for the price the tablet with built in projector is well worth the money.
The media for it says it comes with a Netflix widget built in and I saw it in a review I watched but mine didn't come with it? Did anyone else actually get it? Seems weird they make a big deal about it then leave it off. It's no major biggie as the app works and with the 4 speakers it sounds amazing but, because they said it had the widget, I want the widget! hehe

I got the new OTA too but didn't see any changelog. Bigger update than the last and the tablet does feel faster/smoother since. Previously I did have some stutters when scrolling in Facebook and moving from app to app but it definitely seemed better today.

anyone with LTE version got those updates ? I read in another forum that theres still no update for multiwindow on LTE version :crying:

Hi, it is normal that the projected image is more blurry on the left side?
