What are the major issues with CM7 on the Touchpad?
Well, its an alpha port, meaning not everything is gonna work.
First of all, its not stable, some apps WILL crash, wifi settings sometimes will fail to work, fluctuating your signal. Almost every popular app seems to work now, netflix, facebook,gmail, youtube works alright, the quality of the videos is not that good but bearable. Sometimes random SoD (sleep of death) occur putting your table into a semi perm sleep stage, and you have to press the power button and home button and hold them for 20 seconds or so.
Overall, its 6/10 of what it can be. don't expect 2.3 to work as good as your phone.
The main problems for me are:
Incompatible apps, either from the resolution and screen size, or not landscape optimized.
No VOIP integration.
Video does not play, either from youtube or flash, it shows lines and other static.

The wife and I have had virtually no major problems. The biggest one was not being able to connect to wifi outside of home but that seems to be fixed with a post I found here. Otherwise its small things, occasional app crashes, the odd app that wont run. Its no different than just about any custom rom on a phone (and I have seen many). Once in a blue moon ill get a random freeze/reboot. Never had the sod problem, Netflix, YouTube, flash videos all run like butter, I can stream anything I want, really, the TP has taken over as my main home device

Thanks for the replies. I bought my TP with the intention to install Android on it. Ive been waiting for a stable release, with ICS out it will probably be another 2 mths.
The main issue ive read about is the WiFi, which is pretty critical for what I use the TP for. Why do some people have the issue and others dont? Is there something that can be done to lessen the issue?

I turned off the setting that allows the wifi to turn off when the tablet goes to sleep. I also used the SOD fix just in case as well after I installed Alpha 2. That seems to do a good job keeping it connected.
Another thing I had to do was use my wireless G signal instead of my wireless N signal (I have dual band). On wireless N, I was getting a very weak signal but with wireless G the signal was very strong. Using WebOS, the wireless N was as strong as the G so I have to assume there is something weird with CM7 for this.
My only main issue is with wi-to. It's very sporatic and frustrating. Is anyone aware of a fix? Other than, just typical issues nothing critical. It's a surprisingly stable Alpha other than that. Facebook also doesn't work for me, but not a large issue.
My major issue is that I can't connect to my work's wifi with enterprise level encryption. I once got it to connect, but webpages would only load sometimes. On my home wifi, I have no issues connecting.
The other issues I've seen are that I woke up this morning, and my Touchpad was off instead of asleep. The battery wasn't dead or anything, and it turned back on fine. When I loaded Angry Birds, it crashed twice, but the third time it worked perfectly.

Zipaligning and fixing permissions in ROM Toolbox helped a ton with crashes and FC's.

What SOD fix?
Every time I want to shutdown my TP in CM7 it gets restarted instead, and there was one time I got nut and forced shutdown it when it was booting and the system crashed. I had to uninstall and install everything which wasted my whole night in that day.....

I've run many custom ROMs on my Incredible and on my Eris, without app issues like this. The eris has a lot of apps that don't run well, but I can assure you this is not a custom ROM issue. I have yet to see an app that won't run on my incredible with custom ROMS.
BTW the wifi seems to work better for me at least with alpha 3. Before flashing alpha 3 my wifi was completely non-working, it would crash when I went into wifi settings.
I need my youtube and its not working properly on alpha 2 or 3. Once thats fixed I'm good on cm7.
But I"m still waiting for some one to do honeycombo or ICS
Hello guys
Being a long time member, and having rooted many of my devices before (Xoom, HTC Sensation etc) I have seen complaints like people are posting where some here are experiencing no battery/rebooting issues(like me) while others are experiencing the opposite. The first thing that any experienced developer here on XDA would tell you is that something went wrong when updating to the new .13 update, which is why some are experiencing problems, while others are not. It does not make sense that a good majority of us, have no issues...if the new .13 update was bad/faulty, then it would affect all of us, not just some. I would highly recommend that people with issues reformat/start from scratch, as this has helped others with similar issues. If this does not help, then unfortunately you just experience a bad update, which of course the only fix would be is to try to reinstall the update (easy to do if rooted) or wait for a new update from Asus.
Also, if your battery is dying quickly, check to see if it is warm to the touch even if you are not using it. If so, then this would definitely point to an app trying to do something in the background without your knowledge..maybe there is an app trying to sync but your wifi is off, or an app that you installed that does not play nice with ICS. I would suggest that those with problems can list their installed apps, and those without issues can see if they have any of the apps on their devices...this can help narrow the issue down and hopefully find the culprit.
Thanx

All fair points, but many people suspect that there are at least two batches of Primes floating around with different hardware. After all, even before this update, there were groups of people that had freezes and reboots and others who had none.
Another telling point is that as far as I can tell, .13 update completely fixed Primes that were previously having sleep of death and reboot problems, and caused sleep of death, reboot and battery problems only on Primes that were previously working fine. This also suggests two different hardware sets to me (e.g., they tested the .13 update only/mostly on the set of Primes that had previous problems).
the bad update/ flash/ application as a culprit to all the Primes problems went out the window long ago this is all horse**** the problem is with the tegra3 in some way and different hardware variances in X Prime vs B Prime vs Z Prime etc....etc...etc...

But that doesn't make sense either, because I had no rebooting issues before and no battery issues after updating to .13.
What we need here is hard data evidence from something such as a battery/hardware/resource monitor, which I have not seen from anyone with battery issues.
I don't have the issue so there is really nothing for me to monitor and gather data from.
Just had this issue pop up. Was using my Prime this morning on the charger, closed the screen (have the dock) pulled the plug put it in my bag for the day. Went to class, and then to work pulled it out at 6pm to check out a new note taking app and found my Prime to be HOT, like I left in in the car on a sunny day hot. Opened it up and it wouldn't come to life, held the on/off till it "shut off" then powered it back on. Battery life is 80% prime 14% dock. As requested my apps are as follows.

That's not alot..lol. that's a lil bit. I have most of what you have n have no battery issues. Ill look closer n cross refermce with mines to let you know what I don't have. I have wayyyy to many apps to list.. probably over 200.
Crazy how my prime is never affected negatively from these updates. Ill check n see.

If your TFP is hot it could be an indication that the processor is running something and causing heat.
Try an app like SystemPanel to monitor resource usage. You may have to get the paid version in order to track app resource usage history
https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.systempanel
Here is another good website to find other apps to monitor usage and find out what exactly is using your battery.

Have people experiencing the issues gotten the OTA or did they do the update via file where you system partition is formatted? Wonder if some file(s) didn't get updated properly via OTA but work fine via .zip update.

That's actually a pretty good question! Along with posting a list of apps...thinking a widget is trying to sync constantly?? Also, have you guys checked your app intervals...too many apps syncing at a low interval will kill your battery
I couldn't do the OTA, so I had to do the wipe and full install from .zip

Although I didn't suffer from issues here ln battery, after hearing about it, I went in and changed all intervals and cut off anything unnecessary. I especially made sure to raise email interval. As that's the thing that goes off the most. When it does it also causes the audio to go off constantly. So far I've been getting even better battery life than before in deep sleep. Actually very impressed how lil energy is used while in deep sleep. Before o took my screenshot and used tablet, it was in deep sleep for over 7-8hrs. And didn't budge from 100%. That's pretty impressive.

Yes! My wifi signal strength matches my Moto Xoom, I haven't had one reboot..GPS is weak but I honestly didn't buy the tab for that (Ipad users don't have it, but who cares its not a navigation device) . My 1080p movie playback is flawless, colors are rich. This is truly a sexy, powerful beast of a tablet! I'm sure that we all can agree on that...I'm sure that Asus will work out the kinks that some are having soon.
Everywhere I go, even Ipad owners love the way this Tablet looks, especially the screen display

What's up guy, still spreading those chrome rumors??
Yeah, I'm wondering if people have their update intervals low an the system is constantly trying to update apps in the background?? This would explain the warm/hot backs of the Primes by the batteries for some
The battery, sleep of death and random reboot IT IS CAUSE BY THE NEW OTA .13
i have factory restore 3 times no app install, same problem
i have push the OTA .13 MANUALLY TWICE same problem without installing app.
there's no way to get around this, only a new firmware fix or backflash to .11 only solution for us having problem with this new .13

Why are any users experiencing the range of issues this tablet is presenting while others are not? We have 3-5 major bugs that are sporadically scattered across a wide range of serial numbers. I believe its downright obvious that TFPs have a variation in hardware quality and/or quality control issues. It's fracking embarrassing. To say that only some people are having this battery issue just continues to follow the trend that has been ASUS the past 3 months.

Im guessing the reason for most of these problems is going from HC to ICS without a full wipe.
I have flashed thousands of roms on my devices since Windows Mobile 6.1 and when portion of people have issues they are told to check md5 sums and full wipe.
A little from column a and a little from column b perhaps.

I had no sleep of death problem until the update, and it's ridiculous how fast it's burning through battery now.
Hi Guys,
Im no Genius when it comes to android, but I have done my fair share of programming before, but my SOD are killing me and a last resort is a warranty exchange as I cannot be without a phone.
So far I have been getting SOD about 5 times a day if not more, and I am one for tinkering with gadgets until i break or crash it, fix it and doing it all over again.
But anyway back on topic
I have noticed this in the build.prop
" persist.ril.mux.sleep=2 "
And so I wondered if this is causing my SOD, does anyone have any ideas regarding its uses?
Findings (as of 2155)
In my testing thus far I have changed it to "persist.ril.mux.sleep=1" using phone leaving it for an hour doing it over just for fun, And I have been SOD for 5 hours straight and haven't had any SOD or adverse battery drain
I mean this may not be the cause of the SOD for me, or anybody but I am up for trying just about anything
What is SOD?
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G using Tapatalk on AT&T, the company that disappoints me so much that I have to use my tapatalk signature to tell everyone
Sorry, Sleep Of Death
I have SOD here too. To me it's only happens when I turned off a data connection (3G or wifi).
I use LoadMonitor app as a workaround for a while, with success.
At now I'm using Neutrino 2.5 CM7 ROM with success too. I think it's more a blur rom problem than cm7 one.
Let us know about your progress.
So if you disable load manager you would get SOD?
I am making a script to update a few things so far no SOD for me, after a few tweaks
What settings are you using on load manager ?
Any info you can give me will help in me tracking down some of the errors and temporary fixes people are using to avoid the dreaded issue
Oh, THAT's what that was!
I forgot to turn the wifi back on a few nights ago when I said "Hey, let's watch some movies on netflix with my super-duper mirroring-abled phone!" So an hour into it, LBE Privacy warns me I'm about to max out my data, and I go turn the damn wifi back on but turned OFF the 3G.
Then last night I go to wake up my phone and the screen is "black but on", & took a couple of tries to wake it. I'm on Nottachtrix.

I'm a bit confused here. I don't know what "load manager" is.
What a sad is I used LoadMonitor app (from market) as a workaround.
LoadMonitor just monitor taks that are running in your device. But it have an option that claims to prevent device deep sleep. So, when I checked this option my device don't get SOD.
It's a workaround, as I sad, and I don't know how LoadMonitor do that.
What is load manager?
Thanks
I had a similar issue, I installed SetCPU and set my minimum speed to ~456(faux 1.45 Kernel).
Never had the problem since.

I tried some roms and the only one I hadn't random reboots was jokersax11 alpha7 (ICI), now I'm on beta 0.2.0 and had reboots.
I'm having the same problem. I've tried 3 different ROMs. I used Nottachtrix, following the directions to the letter with reboots and hard locks. Recently I flashed back to 4.5.91 (w/pudding) and I was having the same issues. I noticed that on the hard locks, my phone appeared to be warm, so I used SetCPU at 216MHz and still had hard locks and random reboots. I've not set the lowest setting at 301 and so far I haven't had any reboots, but its only been about 5 hours. But I was having them at least once every few hours.
BTW - I also noticed that I only had the freezes and hard locks when the phone was running on the battery. I rarely had problems when the phone was on the dock or USB charger, however, I did have reboots when it was on the wall charger.
Another program you can try is call 'Wake Lock' available from the marketplace. I haven't used it yet, I'm still experimenting with load monitor.
Wake lock has a few different options and has some really good review.
I confirmed that Neutrino 2.5 CM7 Rom works great without reboots.
That's a patch you need to apply to correct a battery drain problem of the original version. Notorious544d are working in a 2.6 version including that patch.
To me it's working like a charm. I'm testing for two days but, of course, everyone needs to test it in your own device.
PS: Follow this instructions to install a battery drain patch in Neutrino 2.5 (or wait for a 2.6 version):

I was encountering that problem for a while but then I figured that something went wrong when I was flashing CM7 Beta. So I flashed Aura's ROM, and then Reflashed CM7 Beta and only experienced it once a month at most after that, Hope it helps

Atrix SOD & Random reboots related to Wifi?
Does anyone know if the Atrix SOD & Random reboots are related to WiFi. I've had my wifi off all day and I've had no crashes.
I'm going to run it for a few more days without Wifi and see what happens.
I don't know about other guys, but wifi and 3G was the cause of my Atrix SOD and reboot problems.
Solved it using Neutrino Rom CM7 based.
See you!
Still working on my SOD issue, but recently, I disabled most power options, turned off wifi, rebooted and I've been running for 2 days with no crashes. After day 3, I'm going to turn wifi back on reboot and see what happens.
Update 1
After 3 days with wifi disabled, I've had no crashes, no freezes or random reboots. I'm going to enable wifi again and see what happens.
Update 2
After turning enabling my wifi and using it briefly then turning it back off, I had a random reboot later that evening.
The more I used my wifi, the more frequent my crashes became.
Interesting side note
I can enable all my radios when plugged into the desktop charger and I won't experience any crashes, however, if plugged into to the AC charger, I've had reboots and freezes.
Hi there,
It's been a long time since I posted anything on these forums. We all know that the TFP has several issues, starting from random reboots all the way up to poor I/O performance, WiFi (for some) and no GPS. Alright.
But among them all, on a day-to-day basis, 2-3 issues are really all that matter and they are - (1) I/O Performance, (2) random reboots (bigger deal than I/O) and (3) a lesser known issue, which I faced on Stock ROMs primarily, some screen glitches that happen at very high brightness and with a white background.
For now I want your feedback on 1 and 2. So far, I faced no random reboots but I did notice quite sluggish performance upon restoring apps from Titanium Backup. Also while downloading big apps or files from Appstore/browser, there seems to be a little sluggishness at some point. however I can't tell if it is better than before. Benchmarks also seem to suggest no big improvement in I/O performance.
So, please respond to the poll and if you wish leave comments explaining your opinion as well. Please keep things civil and let this not boil down to a ASUS bash festival! lol :angel: Personally, I am very happy overall with the update.

Better I/O Performance, No random reboots.
Right now, it feels as if the I/O performance is as good as it can get, software wise. We must not forget that the NAND chip inside is of a questionable quality, a quality that makes me wonder if Asus imported from Chinese hoax-phones manufacturers.
The problem si hardware. Jelly is bether but the emmc is the same.

I hadn't had random reboots in a long long time. With JB it's happening fairly often; seems to be when the screen turns off.
On ICS I had the screen set to only turn off when I turned it off, i.e. it would never sleep automatically. That could be why I didn't have the issue.
I've now set JB the same way so I'll see if it still reboots randomly.

Are you using the dock with an SD card? There's a known issue related to it (the tf300 had it as well).
we should petition asus to change our internal hardware a long time ago.. but jb sorted out many issues from software side anyway. Check development section for i/o data2sd thread.. makes prime a lot more stable and faster!
Tapatalked!
Sadly after updating mine two days ago ive had nothing but problems from programs force closing to the power button not working all the time.
would almost believe that it's a hardware issue except it started literally right after the update.Can't even run Bad Piggies but for a few minutes before it starts to studder and then finally lock up.
Even my browser locks up now which before the update had only happened twice....thought this was supposed to be a update but instead i got a downgrade lol. Hope they work this out.
Do a factory reset after JB Update. There could be bugs ported to JB. My camera was disabled after JB update. Did a Factory reset, works much better.
I did mine and my Prime is now much faster. Strongly recommend.

There was a card in the dock so that could have been the issue; thanks for the heads-up. Since I disabled sleeping I've not had a reboot.
I used to get frequent random reboots and pauses whenever I had a microSD inserted. My solution was to format it to NTFS. FAT and FAT32 were also ok but NTFS allows for bigger files. I think it was the default Ext4 format that caused the issue; can't remember for sure.
I mention it in case someone wants to try an NTFS-formatted SD card; it might avoid the problem while we wait for Asus to fix it.
I've had the Prime since December, and use it just about every day.
The JB update for me is just like all the other past updates. It's awesome at first, then I get ANR's. I even did the factory reset and after 2 days, the ANR's made their come back. My 2.5 year old Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) outperforms the Prime at browsing.

Would this issue be related to having a USB mouse plugged in to the dock and getting random reboots? I have a wireless Logitech mouse that I use when my prime is in the dock and since the JB update it always seems to reboot within a few minutes of having the mouse transmitter plugged in. I haven't see it reboot without the mouse transmitter plugged in while using the dock so I suspect that is the culprit. I tried a different wireless mouse (also Logitech) and I had the same results. I did not notice this issue with ICS.
Otherwise the JB update has been pretty solid. I did do a factor reset right after JB rollout because of some other glitches that were happening. I also haven't seen the screen tearing issue which was happening daily with the last ICS firmware.

Apparently this happened to the TF300, too. If you have something plugged into the dock - SD card and/or USB device - and the screen goes to sleep, on wakeup the thing is likely to reboot. One can hope ASUS plans an update to fix this...
JB made it a little better but its still laggy and I still get ANRs but not as much as before. Having an Sd card in the dock also causes random reboots. I've done a factory reset and I'm no longer rooted and was never unlocked. As soon as I see a better tablet out this ones gonna have to go. Its been almost a year and so many updates. I really dont think any software will ever make this tablet any better...at least mine in particular.

Haven't seen 1 reboot on my prime since JB update 2 weeks ago. Have sdcard all the time in and a pen drive or external hard drive almost all the time.

I have only started to have random reboots since going to JB. It's good to know this could be caused by having an SD card in the dock. I really hope removing my SD card resolves the reboots. Other than this, I am very happy with the JB update and my prime is running better.

It is great to know that a vast majority of you guys seem to have experienced fewer issues with JB than on ICS. I too have noticed that my tablet is working way better on JB, and there may be imperfections here and there, but that is the hardware's limitations. I am glad that the whole experience is soo much smoother especially in the areas I use it the most.
I look forward to kick ass ROMs with the latest Kernel. But though I am unlocked, I don't mind the stock ROM. It is good.. :good:
Random reboots using 'any' device via USB in dock
litetaker said:
Hi there,
It's been a long time since I posted anything on these forums. We all know that the TFP has several issues, starting from random reboots all the way up to poor I/O performance, WiFi (for some) and no GPS. Alright.
But among them all, on a day-to-day basis, 2-3 issues are really all that matter and they are - (1) I/O Performance, (2) random reboots (bigger deal than I/O) and (3) a lesser known issue, which I faced on Stock ROMs primarily, some screen glitches that happen at very high brightness and with a white background.
For now I want your feedback on 1 and 2. So far, I faced no random reboots but I did notice quite sluggish performance upon restoring apps from Titanium Backup. Also while downloading big apps or files from Appstore/browser, there seems to be a little sluggishness at some point. however I can't tell if it is better than before. Benchmarks also seem to suggest no big improvement in I/O performance.
So, please respond to the poll and if you wish leave comments explaining your opinion as well. Please keep things civil and let this not boil down to a ASUS bash festival! lol :angel: Personally, I am very happy overall with the update. I just feel it can be better, especially as Infinity pad got that I/O fix a while back (if I remember correctly).
Cheers, y'all!

Hi there,
since I updated my TF201 (TF Prime) to JB I have random reboots while using the USB mouse. I didn't try this before but when using another device via the USB port in the dock I immediately experience reboots. If I don't use the USB port it works like a charm, way smoother than ICS. But the ability to use devices via USB was an important reason to choose the TF201. Please ASUS / Android, fix this. I'm wondering if the other unfortunates among us have similar behaviour of their TF201 or other ASUS tablets.
USB devices work great for me, I use both the dock port and the adaptor to plug USB devices into the tablet itself. I did do a complete factory reset though, before and after installing JB.

My Prime is rebooting too at least with my usb mouse and usb hard drive. It worked fine before JB. Did factory reset before and after update.

Count me in as someone experiencing reboots after the update. Same scenario as everyone else. I get reboots when the screen shuts off with a mouse plugged in. Is there a fix for this yet?

This latest release has me really pleased with my Nexus 10's speed, response, and stability. It appears they got it right for the use of my tablet. :victory: It will be very interesting to see what the priorities and advantages will be going forward with custom ROM and kernel development!

I'm thinking it's not better at this point...my device still powers off when I put it on or take it off a charger....It's my one complaint from an otherwise flawless device.
I used to get random reboots. Now it never reboots!
So 4.2.2 is great on mine.

Really sounds like something is not right. I've never had that issue with my N10, and have been using it heavily pretty much every day since early December.

Yup. I really liked it before, but now with 4.2.2 it seems that this lone issue was finally resolved. I'm going on 61 hours uptime since installing the update, and haven't had a single hiccup. Fast, smooth... Fantastic. Loving it.

The OTA has fixed every issue I've had with my N10. Wifi and bluetooth are rock solid now, I've had 0 reboots, and chrome no longer freezes my device!

do you know for which countries is the 4.2.2 update available? i did not receive any update (Bucharest/Romania). Thanks
They finally fixed the time bug that caused mine to constantly be behind 10 minutes.
My experience is a little mixed. I play a lot of MC4 without any stutters or lag prior to 4.2.2. But now I am getting constant stutters during multiplayer game play. I found myself going back to 4.2.1 to be able to play my MC4. That was the only issue that I encountered while on 4.2.2.

Since upgrading to 4.2.2, I have not had chrome freeze or the n10 reboot. That's wonderful!!!
I have Battery Monitor Widget Pro running with an alarm set if the battery hits 95d f. Since 4.2.2 I had the alarm go off while charging with the pogo cable and running daydream 'colors' (first time trying daydreams) and again when a 30 minute youtube video playing through hdmi (no charger). The temp went up in less than 5 minutes after the video/animation started. Felt extremely hot around the camera. Never had that happen before, only time the temp went up was after 30 minutes of a graphical game play.
Battery temp is usually around 82, almost never above 90f and certainly not in 5-10 minutes. Gonna keep an eye on it, but it is a new problem for me and related to the video.
After update to 4.2.2 my bettary is bad. :'( on Android 4.2.1 I usually get about 7-8 hours screen on, but on 4.2.2 I get 5-6 hour screen on. But with 4.2.2 my Nexus 10 more fast and smooth

This is a hardware related issue!

I'm glad 4.2.2 has fixed many of the soft reboot/crashes and things like that but I still feel that the nexus 10 isn't as snappy as it should be. I feel there's still residual lag during transitions and alot of apps don't run well (I think that's more hardware optimization though). The nexus 10 menu's feel a bit slow.
IMO the nexus 4 on stock feels much smoother.
Battery life appears fine and no more random lockups or reboots since the upgrade several days ago....Very happy now!
Thanks for 4.2.2 update. I no longer face hang/auto restart.
Reboots and crashes are gone it seems. Chrome would crash every time I opened it, now it is rock solid. I would also have random reboots at least twice a day. 0 since the update. Bootlog Uptime says 4 days 4 hours.
I still have issues with Wi-Fi though. My University has multiple AP's with the same SSID, and my N10 has issues finding and staying connected to the strongest signal. It will stay connected for maybe 5 minutes, then the Wi-Fi looks like it resets or something. I tried a logcat dump and nothing notable shows anything.

Problem with XBMC is the interface is still sluggish and is a burden to work with. Especially if you setup a samba share and let it import your PC's music and movie collection. XBMC is just way too bloaty for a tablet and is currently the #1 contender in the "How to drain your battery the fastest" department.
Video playback
Hi,
I have flashed the 4.2.2 stock rom and there are some issues, which are not fixed, and some which seem to be new.
- I had one freeze when the tablet was on standby. Only a reboot fixed it and my battery level was about 10% lower as before. Ok, this might be an app, which is misbehaving, I'll monitor it.
- Then I had the first time this time bug, where the time shown is some minutes off sync.
- The worst thing is, that 4.2.2. seems to have broken the video playback in some apps. Playback is stuttering and some frames are dropped. For example in the watchever app, which worked fine in 4.2.1
Google Movies does not seem to be affected.
Anyone else noticing the video playback issue?
Regards,
Goldstein

My brother had the same issue on his Galaxy Tab some time ago... He was running some Cyanogen alpha though and flashing to a newer version resolved the issue. You could investigate whether a fresh flash resolves your issues...
OnTopic: Did not notice much improvement in 4.2.2 (CM10.1) as the device was running without any problems and there was not really something to improve... However benchmarks scores did go up - Antutu went up from ~13500 to ~16500 and Quadrant from 4800 to 4950.
