The asus transformer infinity is the worst product I ever buy: slow, laggy, buggy: really it's a real piece of crap. One of my friend bought a cheap nexus 7 and I tried it: it's like 5 time faster than my transformer infinity 500 bucks tablet. I tried to getting help with Asus support: a real joke too: they want me to pay the postal cost to return the tablet. The word as to spread: dont buy asus tablet, donmt make my mistake. Go with the samsung galaxy 10: I tried it too: way much faster and not buggy like my asus tablet.

But the Nexus 7 is made by Asus.

I hated my transformer infinity as well. I bought mine on launch day and was so excited, only to be let down by I/O issues and constant force closes.

I ended up giving mine to my mom along with the keyboard once I got my Nexus 7. The nexus 7 is made by Asus as well but I dearly love it.

I don't want to highjact this tread but I am considering buying this tablet and I have a question or two about this situation. Does anyone know or think if Asus will fix this issue in a future update? Or is this a something that won't be corrected until some sort of future Jellybean update?

For someone who is not comfortable doing the CROMI Rom adjustment is there an alternative that won't affect the warranty or cause issues for someone who is not familiar with tablets? This sounds like a great tablet except for this one issue. I would be surprised if Asus doesn't know about it.

I am glad I have the galaxy tab 10.1. I love it. It impressed be so much to the point of switching from HTC phone to the Samsung.

What is the "issue" that needs fixing? First of all, can you be more specific about when it's slow? What are you doing when it acts slow? Have you updated to the latest version of the Android OS - Jelly Bean? I ask because I have no problems at all with my Infinity 700. I know that Asus is way better than Samsung in pushing updates to Android. Samsung was eighteen months later to finally push an upgrade to my Galaxy S phone than other brands.

I have the same problem with my old PRIME and exchange to INFINITY now I have the same problem and it gets worse, not just freezes it reboots, seems like it can`t handle the some sites I go too, like ebay " are you kidding me? lol I`m giving this away to my 8yr old and get me an Ipad. Same goes with my Samsung confuse i meant INFUSE phone!

lol. I felt the same way after buying an ASUS gaming laptop a couple years ago. I even got my credit union's help to force Newegg.com to refund the purchase.

If you love having a tablet and a very solid netbook option (I do!), consider the option that has already been suggested -- flash CleanROM. The ROM makes this device a worthwhile purchase.

I used this workflow after watching a video tutorial at least twice:


Between folks here and at XDA, you'll get a lot of answers to questions/concerns before you get started.

I'm trying to understand this thread, but nobody has given any details. Exactly what are the problems that people are having??? Some said "same problem" and "fix these problems", but WHAT are the problems? When you say it freezes, do you mean that the tablet doesn't respond to anything at all, or just that the browser stops? Sometimes the browser times out if a website doesn't respond fast enough, but this can happen even on a computer, phone etc. if the website is slow. I'm just trying to sort out exactly what's going on, and if everyone is having the exact same problem for the exact same reason, or similar problems but maybe for different reasons, etc. I still have time to return my Infinity, but so far I haven't had any of the problems that you all are mentioning here, so I'd like to know the details.

@bill

My tablet was very laggy after updating to the latest OTA Jelly Bean update. As soon as I took it out of the box, I installed the updates; so, I can't compare it to ICS. However, others have said the problem of lag started in Jelly Bean.

When typing a note in Supernote -- basically, the app would freeze every 10th or 20th word (what I typed stopped registering). After a few seconds, Supernote would 'wake up' and I could type again. The stock browser & Chrome: I often received a message about the browser no longer responding. My option was to click WAIT (for the browser to respond) or CLOSE the browser. If that is the web site time-out' issue you're referring to, that is not a web site timing out.

Even with CleanROM installed, I still have the black line that flashes randomly across the screen, usually while I'm using the web browser. The developers at XDA say it's a problem with NVIDIA drivers (most likely).

After doing a bunch of reading and talking with berndbl (here at AC), I chose not to exchange my Transformer for the Samsung 10.1 & instead go with root. After almost a week, I'm happy with my decision. If CleanROM hadn't been available (with its excellent reputation & developer involvement), I would have probably exchanged for the Sammy tablet.

Tbolt - Thanks for explaining. So far I haven't had any of those issues and I'm pleased with the tablet I hope it stays this way. Thanks for your input.
