Yesterday, I had to do a clean reset on my hp ipaq (running WM6.1) because of a problem I was having with my wifi card. The reset went as usual, and I was greeted with the "tap here to set up your device" screen. Next, the usual screen alignment test appeared. I did everything precisely as it asked, and tapped each of the targets. However, the screen alignment keeps repeating and repeating. I've been trying all night . I've already cleaned my screen, and I couldn't have been more precise with the tapping. I've tried everything, from reseting the device to letting the battery die and trying again, with no luck. After a web search, it appears I'm by far not the only one with this problem. Does anyone know a solution to this problem that does not involve buying a new device? My hp warranty is over, and I really can't afford any expensive repairs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try hard reseting it again.
How do you hard reset with buttons again?
Hi all,
So I got the Infinity on Thursday. I used the battery yesterday until 1%, and then turned the tablet off last night.
I start charging the tablet today, and when I try to use it the tablet is completely unresponsive. It keeps going to the camera app and takes pictures with flash. I tried using the pin reset button on the side and it does nothing. Turning the tablet off does nothing either - it turns itself back on, and once its unlocked it automatically goes to the camera app and starts taking pictures.
At some point I was able to get into the settings menu, and did a factory reset. However, it is doing the same thing now after the factory reset.
I ordered from Amazon - whats my best course of action? Return it to amazon? Send it to ASUS?
That's very strange, I guess I would return it, but meanwhile you can try flashing firmware manually. Download US or WW from this site http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T&p=20&s=16
and follow the guide posted today by one user (my earlier posts on this were pretty messy as I was struggling with it, so hopefully this will be more helpful): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29167483&postcount=49
I've just done it myself, doesn't wipe anything from /data, so if I were you I'd wipe data and cache first (from the recovery mode) and then do all the steps described in this ^ post

That's very strange. Might I ask how your homescreen is set up? Maybe it's just registering a buttload of phantom touches to where your camera app is.
Hi,
i have/was having problems with tablet not waking up from sleep (lock) and also had a first known reboot out of the blue yesterday.
So, i first tried with cold boot, but didn't help.
Now i have factory reset the tablet, but the weird thing is that my boot animation is same as before, also the apk for google search > google now (which i was tried weeks ago) is still present. I had an impression that the factory reset - well, resets the tablet. But can someone please explain what does it actually, specially i need an answer on why the boot animation didn't go back to stock etc...
Why do a factory reset if thing are not like from factory
PS: still testing if it solved tablet wake up problems. Anyone figured out what is the cause and how to solve it?
how did you do the factory reset?
First time inside the cold boot menu (vold-down+power etc..), second time inside the OS (settings etc...)
So, it happened today again - couldn't wake the device from sleep. I did restore all my apps with titanium backup, so i still can't say what causes this, but i am very sad right now
Is there any way to look at some logs or something and to identify what makes tablet to not wake up from the sleep.
Next time I will try plugging it AC if it helps, but i doubt my problem is as described in some other thread.
Also, I would still like some answer on why the factory reset doesn't change the boot animation. I also noticed Elixir2 system widget app was still installed after the reset. Very strange. I can safely assume that build.prop was not overwritten, yes?
Thx
Hi all,
Did the JB update, everything looked good. Decided to do a cold boot (power off, volume down/power, wait) because some people suggested it helped with getting max performance.
Now the notification area does not work anymore. It still shows the time and wifi connectivity, but no 'new mail' notifications, no 'SD card mounted' and I cannot tap it to get to the settings etc. Tried another cold boot, no help. Normal restart, no luck...
Help please? Maarten

did you lock it? do you see a dot in the middle of the bar? if so, tap it and drag it back to unlock.
Ah but that would be too easy... No, I didn't lock it. But its a valid question...

Out of curiosity,how do you do a hard reset on the infinity?

First unmount your SD card. Also remove any widgets on your home screen that toggle wifi, gps etc...Then cold boot your tablet. Once thats done, mount your SD and that should trigger the notification bar pop up.

settings, backup & reset
I just took my 32gb card out and popped it back in. This is annoying that the notification bar would do this in the first place!

I would think hard reset (right term) is reset through a pin hole on the device. Factory reset is considered soft reset!
Did the update, factory reset. Everyhing is buttery. All is well except now the wifi signal indicator in the notification area does not show anything but gray. regardless of signal strength. Shows the bit int he middle of the icon that I take to mean it is transmitting or receiving but no pulsing blue indicating varying signal strength. Not a big deal of course, just wonder why and if anyone else experiences the same.

that's why I don't recommend people to do cod boot unless you have issue. Cold boot on JB is funky, not like .30. On the .30 version, It only could get better, but on JB, I learned a hard way when I did a cold boot and my table started to reboot randomly and give me blank screen.
Interesting... I'm having the same issue every so often, though rare. This didn't happen before the Jelly Bean update.
I always have to turn my unit off with a long press and then back on again and everything is okay. I haven't figured out what's causing the notification area to freeze in the first place. And someone mentioned a dot (icon) in the notification area which means it's locked. I have never seen a dot, ever, in the notification area.
Other than the home screens having the occasional lag (it can be up to a long 10 seconds) when turning from landscape to portrait or vice-versa, and the notification area freezing (rarely), everything is great. No regrets in my purchase, but still disappointing for a $500 device.[/FONT]
hello, I have an ASUS TF101. It has been locked after many fails of pattern login by my nephew. And it asks to use google account to unlock it. However, WIFI on it is turned off, hence it can not connect to the internet. I tried to do a hard reset to recover to factory settings. but failed all the time. After pressing VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons, it goes as normal boot. anyone can give suggestions? thank you in advance!
