TF700 server update connection issue

[aussiefirst]

Hi all

My tf700t machine is still stuck on jellybean 4.2.1. It works painfully slowly...but it works, internet ok, just OS is annoyingly slow.
My problem is that when I check in 'about tablet' tab for update check I get 'server busy, check internet connection error' message. As I said, the tablet connects to the net just fine, it's just in this update area that I have the problem. I even download kingoroot then loaded 8.1 Oreo and all was fine until the part in the install process where it wanted to check for new updates and the same server issue arose.

I feel sure this is simple switch thing somewhere but can't find any info similar online.

Thoughts, help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

How much of your storage have you used? The tf700t slows down considerably as it gets full. It needs a *lot* of gigabytes free, preferably as much free as possible.
When I used the 700 I also had it rooted so that I could install a 'trim' tool, but I don't know if that makes a difference or not - in any case, emptying it did fix the slowdown problem for me, while I had the tablet.

The machine has no apps, data stored. I reset it, all data etc gone.
IOW max memory available, as I said, it's an Asus server connection issue.

Sorry - I read too quickly (networking slowdown is part of the slowdown problem).
So it looks like the Asus page for this model is not available anymore, possibly. Do you have google plqy installed amd working?
