Android 4.2 Rolling Out Now To The ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700) In The U.S. [Changelog]

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Device Updates, News, Transformer Pad Infinity

Last Updated: April 26th, 2013

At the beginning of March, ASUS became the first company to push Android 4.2 to a non-Nexus device when the update came to the TF300. At the time, the company promised 4.2 for the TF700 and MeMO Pad Smart sometime "in the second quarter." We're now three days into Q2, and ASUS has started pushing the update to the TF700 (Infinity). Talk about delivering on promises.

Upgrade to Android Jelly Bean 4.2

Multiple account login for up-to 4 user accounts

[Deal Alert] ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity With Dock For $500 From Adorama

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, Transformer Pad Infinity

If you're looking for a tablet that can also function as a laptop, it's hard to beat ASUS' Transformer series. And out of the current lineup, the reigning champ is definitely the Infinity. Its 1900x1200 display is one of the best you can get in an Android tablet, and the 1.7GHz quad-core Tegra 3 keeps things running smoothly. Plus, when coupled with the keyboard dock, the battery life is pretty phenomenal. The thing is - even at Amazon's price of $630 - it's a little on the steep side, given the current competition.

If this device is on your Christmas wishlist this holiday season, however, a very appropriate price for the tablet and dock combo pack just showed up over at Adorama: the whole setup can be yours for a cool, crisp five-hundred dollar bill.

ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700T) Gets Official CM10 Nightlies

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Transformer Pad Infinity

If you own ASUS' first full HD tablet - the Transformer Pad Infinity - the custom ROM scene just got quite a bit better for you. Why, you ask? Because the TF700T is now officially support by CyanogenMod, and the first CM10 nightly is already available.

Of course, in order to flash this you'll need to unlock the bootloader, which, in turn, voids the warranty. It's also worth noting that once you abandon ASUS' stock firmware, there's currently no way to go back, despite the fact that ASUS makes the update blobs available (I learned this the hard way with the TF201).

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Transformer Pad Infinity

A small update is making is way to the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700), bringing a slew of minor bug fixes along with it. We actually got our hands on a changelog this time (a rarity for ASUS):

Camera (All SKUs)

Wi-Fi (All SKUs)

Fix the issue that some 802.1x Wi-Fi APs cannot be connected after upgrading to Jelly Bean.

ASUS Software Keyboard (All SKUs)

Fix the issue that "Y" and "Z" characters are opposite in ASUS Czech (QWERTY) keyboard.

Fix the issue that Backspace key on dock does not work in Browser input field to delete words randomly.

Jelly Bean Now Rolling Out To The ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700T) In The US

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Jelly Bean 4.1, News, Transformer Pad Infinity

Last week, ASUS promised Jelly Bean to TF201 and TF700 owners, and while the former got its update right on time, there was an issue that prevented the update from being pushed to the latter. As a result, ASUS said the update would be available "early next week." Here we are, about as early as it can possibly get in the new week, and the OTA has already begun rolling out.

As expected, it brings Android 4.1.1 and all the enhancements that come along with it, including Project Butter and Google Now.

You can pull the update by heading into Settings > About tablet > System Firmware Update > Check now.

Transformer Pad Infinity Jelly Bean Update Delayed In The US And Canada - Should Be Available 'Early Next Week'

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Transformer Pad Infinity

Just yesterday, ASUS promised both TF201 and TF700 owners their Jelly Bean updates on September 28th and 29th, respectively. While they owned up to that for the Prime, the Infinity isn't so lucky: they just had to push the update back.

According to ASUS rep Gary Key, "a couple of applications that were recently updated (Facebook 1.9.10 on 9/20 as one example) required a last minute firmware update for the keyboard to operate correctly in the "Comment" area with Android 4.1."

It's not all bad, though - the update should still begin rolling out early next week. Personally, I'd rather wait a few more days for a fully working OS than have to deal with a buggy system right now, anyway.

[Update: Within 72 Hours] ASUS: 'We Will Soon Be Rolling Out The Android 4.1 Update For The Transformer Pad Infinity And Prime'

Posted by Cameron Summerson in ASUS, Eee Pad Transformer Prime, News, Transformer Pad Infinity

When ASUS announced the Jelly Bean update for the Transformer Prime in Sweden yesterday, there were two questions that immediately popped up: what about the rest of the world? and when will the Infinity get updated?

We now have answers to both, even if in the simplest of terms: soon.

Update: ASUS rep Gary Key took to the XDA forums to give users a better timeline of when the updates should begin rolling out. According to his post, the OTAs should start hitting within 72 hours. Nice.

ASUS posted today on its Facebook page that the JB update would be coming to the Prime and Infinity and for users to "watch this space." There's no exact word when the updates will begin rolling out, but the last time they publicly teased an OTA, it started rolling out a mere 12 hours later.

Minor Update (Build 9.4.5.30) Rolling Out To The ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity, Full ROM Also Available For Direct Download

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Transformer Pad Infinity

Last Updated: September 21st, 2012

A small update is now available for the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity that is very similar to the one we saw hit the Transformer Pad 300 way back in May. While most of the enhancements appear to be under the hood, this build brings Face Unlock, as well as improved camera firmware, a bump in GPS software, and a few others.

Those who have unlocked the bootloader and are running a custom recovery won't be prompted to install this update, but ASUS has already made it available for download on its website. You can grab the download here - make sure to get the appropriate build according to your region: WW, US, TW, JP, and CN.
