We are getting the Jelly Bean upgrade. Just came out today.
So before you do anything that people have suggested and I would have suggested.
Yes, Asus knows about the issue.c The problem is mostly due to using bad I/O drivers.
I had been using the ATP Tool that replaces the driver and boy did that help. Very easy tool to use but you would need to root.
Please be aware that unlocked and rooted are two different things.
Unlocking VOIDS you warranty but rooting does not.
So be careful when doing any solutions so you do not unintentionally unlock. Once you unlock Asus knows about, your serial number is recorded. And even if you go back to stock, its too late. Warranty voided. So no software help and more importantly no hardware help.
So always consider unlocking. Not all Android manufacturers have such a harsh policy.
I also purchased a Nexus 7 to see the difference and boy does the Nexus 7 fly out of the box. And the Nexus 7 is running Jelly Bean.
Everyone is in the process of doing the benchmarks to see if the lag issues are resolved. So far it looks like it fixes the majority of speed issues.
I should state when upgrading it will require updating apps and it does the updating automatically for most apps but it starts the updates upon startup. So that means don't touch for 10 minutes after coming up from the upgrade the first time.
It will be very laggy because its just doing so much that first time. After all of that is over it should be running fine.
And if it ends up still being laggy the developers over at XDA will come up with solutions fast.
Welcome to Android and its unrestricted access. No more walled garden. No more censored data. And apps you just cannot get from Apple's billions of apps. Things like 'Vee' check that out for free movies. And lets not mention Flash. And for some porno (not for me).
My brother is an Apple fanboy. So he believes his data is not censored even when I try to tell him to try to purchase a few particular books.
Welcome!
