Hi all,
When installing content from the Play Store and then switching to another application such as the browser, the system completely pauses when the notification centre at the bottom of the screen changes to "Installing x application...." i.e. when the application is being written to the data partition.
Now, this issue existed on my HTC Desire but didn't exist on my Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy SII both of which use EXT4 as their file systems. Running the mount command on the Transformer Prime, I can see it's also using EXT4.
What gives with the pause when an application is being written to storage? Can anyone confirm they experience the same? Do custom roms fix this issue?
For reference, I installed Temple Run to double check this issue existed before posting, so try that application to install if you wish to check for yourselves.

Supposedly either Asus cheaped out on our storage chips or the drivers really suck. There was a thread about how the sd card performs pretty bad when compared to other android devices.
This is normal. Multi-core process scheduling is clearly not a strong point of the Android OS.

That's the thing, it can't be normal as my Galaxy Nexus does not suffer from the same bug, even when it was on Android 4.0.2. The Galaxy SII also didn't when on Android 2.3.x.
At a guess, it's down to one or a mixture of things (again, I stress this is a guess):
Poor choice in mount flags
Tegra3 - I know it doesn't have the best CPU out there
Poor quality memory/storage
its because priotrity is given to downloads from the market. you can install an app in developement section called ATP tweaks. then change the default noop(which overall is the best) to like a deadline I/O scheduler. this should relieve the slowdown you seeing while donwloads from market happening. there are also other schedulers you can choose from of you want to experiment. but the stock one is the best regardless of market slowdown. those downloads just getting priority over everything else so it'll download and install faster.

Actually Tegra3 does have the best/most powerful CPU in the tablet market today. nothing out now, in tablets, beats it quad core 4+1 CPU. then add in the fact we can already overclock to 1.6, 1.7 & 1.8Ghz already and nothing is touching the tegra3 in Prime right now. Tegra3 CPU smokes new Ipad CPU. Tegra3 has a good gpu also but new Ipad GPU is more powerful, due to it new high Res. display needing most of the power.

Well I don't buy the scheduler point because that just wouldn't make sense. Installing from the market doesn't require such importance/attention, I would much rather browse the web whilst applications update in the background. In fact, the video's of this issue posted by me here, show the Galaxy Nexus installing Temple Run quicker in my opinion.

The Prime is supposed to be better than the Galaxy Nexus on all fronts in terms of performance but so far, web browsing and multi tasking is better on my Nexus (which is completely stock). The web browsing experience on this tablet is absolutely shocking, it's pretty much a case of waiting for pages to respond or waiting for the "Browser is not responding" message.
I've done the paperclip reset, linux cold boot mode and factory reset. I'm sad to say that I'm regretting this £500 purchase. I'm not moaning for no reason, I would rather love this tablet and fix these issues as there's nothing else on the market Android tablet wise worth getting. However, I can't live with this unacceptable performance.

I officially have the fastest tablet on the planet according to Antutu!!
YES! Sub zero cooling for the WIN!
I forgot to add.... U S A , U S A, U S A!!! LOL
I just added my best CFbench score. This is on 1.7ghz @ 600mhz GPU.
Thanks to Diamond for the wonderful rom.
Thanks to Motley and Shaky for the amazing kernel
Thanks to Droidth3ory for all the work on the phone side of things, without your help and awesome roms I would not be into flashing!

Maybe we could fab some sort of water to air intercooler. I am sure you could find one easy in NoVa, with all those boosted civics running around.
Thanks, my wife thinks I am the biggest dork in the world.
I was in the kitchen benching and all she heard was F*** YEAAH!!!!! LOL!
EDIT: I think the cooling solution I have (the temporary one atleast) is plenty for benching at 2.0ghz.

lol Congrats. I bet you could easily hit 16000. try this and I bet you score alot higher. get system tuner. then go into could tweaks. set the governor there to Performance. then set the min. speed slider all the way up to Max. now you should see all 4 of your CPU maxed out @ 1.8Ghz full time. meaning each core is active @ 1.8Ghz. the regular overclocking doesn't enable all 4 cores to run at once at those speeds. Method I just described will and is why I usually score alot higher than people on same 1.6Ghz clock speed as me. my 2D and 3D scores on quadrant was even higher than that one guy who made the 1.8Ghz available. and that was me still @ 1.6ghz. my 2D score was more than double his @ 1.8Ghz. you can also go into settings, then developer options. then enable the force gpu rendering. that should help increase your scores also.

Nice! I have my kernel running at 1.8 GHz now. I basically enabled what I had the first time I tried, but now the voltages are the same as my latest 1.7. This time it runs fine. I am a little disappointed that the scores aren't higher though and keep wondering what else is limiting us. Hope to do more study soon. The voltage regulator is keeping us pinned at 1500mV and I haven't tried to up that yet. We don't need it yet...but we will if we want to go higher.

Anyway I could get a copy of your kernel? I am using a different 1.8ghz kernel but I dont think it has the tweaks yours has. Maybe PM it to me if your willing.
EDIT: I wonder if there is a way to make the kernel use 1.6ghz for balanced and then use performance to screw around with. Can I edit this myself motley?

Sometimes I wonder what our mates who are completely uninterested in technology think when we do something like what the OP said in the kitchen. I'm currently dating a guy who likes to write more than anything else. Writing creatively just isn't my cup of tea. He, on the other hand, is just not interested at all with technology. And somehow we've gravitated toward each other.
He some times give me weird looks when I yell out "****, yeah!" after I've hard modded something or successfully soldered things together that weren't meant to be together and still work. I guess opposites do attract.

My fiance knows how to work a PC because of her job. I got my first PC after we got together 10 years ago (I was 22) and she showed me the basics...then all hell broke loose.
I love anything and everything tech, and have had 5 Android devices since, not including PCs and MP3players,etc and I am constantly showing and telling her about how I have to unlock this,flash this, yadayada, and she always laughs and calls me a dork. BUT, when I bought my Prime, I didn't want her to ***** about me already having a TouchPad, so I bought her a 7" Galaxy Tab, and it turns out a lot of the stuff I showed her actually rubbed off, because she jumped right into Android and loves it.
So, you never know I guess. It's so cool that she understands much of what I tell her about home launchers, apps,Widgets, and Modding now.
I found my old galaxy S last night and thought I would run a quick benchmark using Quadrant against my galaxy S2. As you would expect the S2 overal beat the S1... apart from 3D performance. It was only a few marks faster but the S1 did out perform. This was noticeable on the gpu section where they is a planet revolving around the frame rate was almost double that of the s2. Both phones are running ginger bread 2.3.5 @ stock

First of all, look at all the things you have running in the background on the S2.
Second thing, you're probably running the android 4 optimized version of quadrant on the s2 and the old gb version on the s1.
Install the newest on both. Reboot them both. Test then.
If you still have problems go into settings->applications->running and see what's slowing down your phone.
It's propably because the software runs more efficient on the S1.
Also who cares about benchmarks anyways? There aren't any apps out there for the S2 which have good graphics or bring the processors to its limits. Name me one which does that.
Ive now come to the conclusion the quadrant simply is **** :d
ics 3D perf gone up but 2d dropped dramatically obviously far too software limited.
My goodness that notification bar is packed

Its not just quadrant standard that shows this. I have consistently been dissapointed with the SGS2 3d perf in general.
Name one?
Jet car stunts runs worse on the SGS2 and looks worse than on the SGS1.
The SGS2 refresh rate is also lower making games run worse.
IF you look at sysetm information, CUBE MAPS and CROSSBAR COMBINED not supported on the SGS2. Everything supported on the SGS1.
Personal experience, a lot of 3D games run much nicer and look nicer on the SGS1.
Really disappointed withe SGS2 screen and 3D perf.
The SGS 2 has a Mali gpu, while the SGS 1 has a PowerVR gpu. Theoretically SGS 2 should be faster but because of architecture differences it may behave worse under conditions that favour the PowerVR. I have not had problems with my SGS 2 being slow but I have not played really demanding games yet.

Can anyone find out if it has gamepad support?
Is anyone else getting stutters while playing this game? Not quite sure why but I think it's down to lack of CPU power or they've set the graphics settings too high.
They occur using Motley's and SnB's kernels on the stock rom.
The game does not run as smooth as it should given all the power Tegra 3 has, but it does not stutters here.
I think the game is just not optimized for Tegra, I have seen videos of the game running on less powerful CPUs and it runs better than how it runs using the Prime.
The game runs at something like 20/25 fps.

It is not lack of CPU/GPU power, have you seen what Tegra 3 is actually capable of running? Mostlikely just not optimized for Tegra 3.
Crappy gameloft....Teyy dont know how to optymalise games for multiple-core devices....
Not that bad guys as you describe this. Sometimes lil lags but few things are better like:
- collision detection
- resolution
- lights, shadows, water effect

Yea, was thinking that too. It does look amazing but it clearly needs optimizing. Walking over a hill (causing the gpu to render a new landscape) causes it to stutter for a few seconds :/

I never said it was bad I said it wasn't how it should really be. Other games with WAY, WAY better graphics run on the Prime at 60 FPS on Balanced mode (Most of the time even with the CPU under clocked at only 1 GHz.
Lets hope Gameloft optimizes the game for Tegra 3 anytime soon In the meantime I'm really enjoying the game ^^

OMFG! if we (xda-developers) can get sources for samsung's i717 (note) kernel - we can get *much* faster performance by patching this against it: http://liliputing.com/2012/06/android-is-about-to-get-a-lot-faster-thanks-to-linaro.html
These compiler optimizations are pretty darn impressive. and I think they could speed up our device substantially... I've been complaining about the lack of hardware optimization (especially memory allocation, but cpu optimizations as well) for years now. finally someone saw it and did something about it. hoping it'll come to the masses soonish.
(note, i didn't want to post this in the dev forum as there's nothing currently to act on, also, i'm an interested third party and have no stake in linaro)
That is pretty neat!! ..only if we could contact them and we can be there Guinea pigs...lol.. id test there software for bugs.. **** I do it here for these devs. !..lol

Compiler optimizations are just one of many things linaro did there to improve performance. They also optimized the kernel and userspace stuff.
I heard the code was optimized for the Nexus CPU and not the GPU so the code would have to be redone for our CPU and then that still does nothing for our GPU. So basically it would still NEED A LOT like alot of work to work on our phone. I don't know much, but thats basically how it was explained to me. I was really excited about this too when I first heard about it. But if some ingenious Dev put the work in this would be awesome!

If i understood correctly it isn't that specific as far as cpu goes... the optimizations should simply be for the cpu core used, so in this case the optizations for the cortex a9 (the cpu in the galaxy nexus) should be just fine with our qualcomm scorpion cpu. they are very similar and in fact our scorpion really is a superset of what the cortex a9 can do... so basically the optimization done on the a9 should work great for us, but if an enterprising individual wanted to sit down and really comb the code, they could probably squeeze even a tad more optimization out of the deal.
but yeah, the optimization that they put in should work right out of the box plus or minus some kernel module compatibility (which is really what needs to be worked on), but we need code to patch against so until samsung coughs up a 4.0.4 kernel for the i717, we're just twiddling our thumbs.

Hi mate,
Ues, it's a known issue - the default browser is very buggy which is why I've installed Chrome and disabled the stock browser.
The device has a Tegra 3 CPU which actually has '5' cores. 1 clocked at 1.3ghz when you're web browsing, listening to music and 4 other cores clocked at 1.4ghz for when your playing intensive games like GTA Vice City or Modern Combat.
Most other Tegra devices are only clocked at 1.3ghz which is why the Xperia Tab has a bit of a umph on benchmarks.

Sony's Xperia Tablet S family uses Nvidia's Tegra 3 SoC which has an integral CPU rated 1.4 GHz maximum for single-core operation and 1.3 GHz maximum for multi-core operation. So the GHz rating you read depends on whether the advertiser is stating the CPU's single-core or multi-core rating.
I cannot provide any feedback on the stock browser used on the Xperia Tablet S tablet because I do not own one; I own Sony Tablet S tablets.

I did a factory reset today, see if that fixes anything. If not, I might take it a service centre for repair. The way the video and sound corrupts before it powers off makes me suspect a faulty CPU or motherboard...
Cant be faulty board or cpu aslong problems only occur in browser, everything would behave bad then.
Found a way to disable default browser but now I have no idea how to enable it again.

Go into Settings -> Apps -> All
Then scroll all the way to the bottom, all of the disabled apps are at the bottom. Tap 'Browser' and enable.
Does your tablet also have the crash/power off problem in the Youtube App? Mine has. And it also had it a few times when playing a movie in MX Player. But never in games. Games never make it power off, not even heavy games such as GTA Vice City.
I also am experiencing crashes with the Youtube app...
First venture into the tablet market and now i'm doing my best to thwart off buyers remorse.
Sony, wtf?

No idea if their any good stability test apps for this tablet.
Anyway i ran linpack for android and it keeps getting inconsistent or in acurate results
Something tells me my tablet is faulty.........
Anyone else maybe try linpack for android run multi thread and single thread test to see if we all get same results.
I known linpack on pc it should give same results all the time 1 error means pc is unstable.
edit: just read everyone get those kindy results mostly.
Verry anoyed with fact my tablet having issues still

The inconsistent results is probably because of bad compatibility between old Linpack and new Tegra 3 CPU. I'm getting inconsistent results too.
Just did another factory reset to get browser back as disabling it don't do anything anyway.
Hoping 1 more factory reset does the trick.
Anyone that have these issues also using antivirus free from AVG ?
Anyway found out my tablet ain't one that is't splash proof so don't have send it back for that reason

After the factory reset, did you choose to restore settings and app data during the first-use setup? I think it's best not to restore settings and data to have a clean as possible install. Also see if it helps if you leave ClearAudio+ turned off.
Edit:
I am not using AVG.
My tablet did shut down once since the factory reset, but it wasn't because of watching videos, it was shortly after a Firefox crash.
Watching videos has been without problems so far.
About the splash proof flaw, you can check it for yourself to make sure, by looking at the two bottom corners of the tablet. If you see a tiny gap between the aluminum back panel and the black edge of the front, you can be sure that your back panel needs replacing:
