Jelly Bean Thread

[uofmike]

With news that the 700 will be getting JB today or tomorrow, I think we should have a thread where people can post any questions or issues that they are having. Let's hope it's extra buttery and delicious.

I keep seeing that WiFi Direct will be removed in this update. Is this only for the TF201 or does it apply to the TF700 also?

Dumb question.... What's wifi direct?

think of WiFi Direct as bluetooth, except it's over your WiFi so you can connect from much longer distances. It allows you to connect a phone to a tablet or other devices that have the technology available (computer, printer, etc). I'm not sure if it's removed for this update or not though

Edit: I'm pretty sure that's what it is at least, I've never actually gotten to use it

Before qualifying a question as dumb why don't you get informed first.

Think of it as an improved Airplay when Miracast in tacked on to wifi direct.

Another technology that needs to be mastered by the person that qualified me as dumb in a previous post

I don't believe that was Mandi's intention. "Dumb question" here is meant more as a "forgive my ignorance, but what's WiFi Direct?", and not calling your original question dumb.

Can be easily misunderstood especially if there are differences in your native languages or whatnot, but I'm sure Mandi meant no harm.

 

[bibitteski]

You're probably right. I'll give Mandi the benefit of the doubt on this one.All this could have been avoided by Googling "WiFi Direct"

Sorry Mandi....

Where did you hear that? All I've heard is that the TF201 (Prime) would be getting JB this week, and it did.

I just wish that these companies would make sure they live up to what they say is all. I'm simply frustrated is all.

LMAO at your comment! Made me feel better.

 

[ItsMeMandi]

Would you prefer they give you an incomplete update? Or one with errors? They can't forsee everything that may happen.

After you update it to Jelly Bean, you should sell it and then buy another tablet on the eve of the Key Lime Pie release

I agree and understand completely. I just read the posts about the delay at a high point of my day. I really hope it is stable as Im really starting to like this compared to the Galaxy note 10.1 I just returned. What a terrible screen that thing has!

Although I've only played with my wife's 700 a few times, I find it more responsive than my N7. I bring this up because I am attributing the unresponsive issues to Jelly Bean (pure speculation) and not N7 hardware. It will be interesting to see if the tf700 has similar issues after the upgrade.
