March 15 2013 , Written by Transformer Published on #Android News

Android 4.2.1 Jelly update for ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 is now rolling out for the 10.1-inch tablet, making it the first non-Nexus tablet to make the jump to Android 4.2

For users of the Transformer Pad TF300 who had unlocked the bootloaders of their device and missed the Over-the-Air update, they have the option to download the official ROM directly from ASUS' servers.

Be reminded that the upgrade is available for three distinct variants - Global, China, and P2P. Make sure that your handset matches the ROM variant before flashing it into your device. The Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean update sizes up to 500MB, and Wi-Fi connection is preferred for stable connection and fast download.

The Taiwan-based company shows us one more time that it does care about its customers, and after ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 became the first device outside the Nexus tribe to run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the company also rolled out the new firmware update pretty fast.

The ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 is one of the best-selling Android-powered tablets on the market, and now, after ASUS officially announced that the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update is ready for roll out, I am sure that its customers don’t regret their decision.

Even though the Taiwanese company didn’t mentioned in the press statement what Android version we are talking about the Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean update for ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 as the users that already installed it on their tablets are reporting.

Even though the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean doesn’t bring any major interface improvements, I am sure that the tablet users will enjoy the new features like Daydream and Multiple Accounts, especially if the tablet is shared by a family. Of course, the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update for ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 brings the usual bug fixes and performance and stability improvements.

The Taiwan-based company said that the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update for ASUS Transformer PAD TF300 will be available OTA, and that the users living on US territory will be the first to receive it.

We don’t know yet when the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity and the newer ASUS tablets will receive the Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean update, but we are pretty sure that it shouldn’t be too far away.

In case you forgot the ASUS Transfromer Pad TF300 comes with a 10.1-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, a quad-core Tegra 3 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz with ULP Geforce graphics, 16/32 GB of internal storage (microSD cards supported), and an 8 megapixel camera on the back with autofocus and full HD video recording.

Update: Recently, users running Android 4.2.1 update on the Asus Transformer Pad TF300T complain about the sound & other issues.

Some complained that it is creating problems with HDMI sound output, you can see as follows:

Some complained about the performance problem when updating to Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, and other glitches and problems as well.

It is said that Asus is yet to acknowledge the issue. Meanwhile, for those who have already updated their TF300 tablets, hang in there. The fix can be expected once the company pushes a new update. But who knows, we just wait to see.
