[Q] Anyone lose their touchscreen access on their TF101? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm hoping that this isn't something dumb on my part, but my touchscreen only worked for about an hour and then it just stopped working after that - I had it in sleep mode for awhile. I tried a data wipe and even drained the battery dry, but so far no change.
Has anyone seen this issue? I'm hoping it's something fixable and not a hardware problem. Or if anyone has any other ideas, that would be appreciated -- thanks! I'm also trying to track down that new update to see if maybe that might help me.

I say return it and get a new one, think you got an unlucky one.
try pressing and holding both the power button and the volumn button together until it shuts down

I don't have mine yet so can't comment on what's going on. But hopefully you are right in that it is software issue rather than hardware. Were you rooted?

Not even rooted. I had used it for about 20 minutes, put it in sleep mode, then tried it a few hours later and the touchscreen stopped working.
I also tried the Modaco update (later on), but that doesn't reflash everything - it's more of a supplement (I made nandroid backup so I can undo).

Dang... Get a new one! Glad to see you on this device, not going to lie. I was about to pull the trigger on a vgt until i heard about this device.

Other than the fact that the touchscreen is borked , it seems very nice. A little larger than the Xoom, but feels lighter. Screen ratio seems similar.
I was hoping to do some screen comparisons versus the Xoom, to see if this IPS is superior. Kinda hard to do that now - my hope was that this would replace my slow but reliable R10.

Have you tried doing a complete factory reset?

If you mean a data wipe (power + volume down plus volume up again), then yes I had done that - didn't help. If you meant something else, then any help is appreciated!

The 'T101' is not an android tablet, it's an eee pc released in 2009
Unless of course you're refering the the 'Terminator model 101' aka Arnie

OK, you are in the transformer subforum, where everyone else is talking about the transformer (tf101). Were you really confused about the accidental omission of an 'f' in the model number?

I was going to do the same thing that I did with the Xoom, which is post on Slatedroid and then link from here - in my mind, the sharing of knowledge being the most important thing. But I don't think XDA rules permit that unless I support both areas - I think I could manage that, though.
Of course, my device is in no shape for any modding right now. Still, I might try a Ventana image just for the heck of it. I'd just like to know if my problem is hardware based or not.

Strange that no one linked this earlier, been posten ouround at different blogs the last few hours.
Anyway great to get it here as well, and maybe somone can dig up something more.
I find it good that Nexus one is running it, then I might be able to get a port for my HTC deisre
Great finding, thanks!
and this quy arrived a few days ago as well
*edit*Outside google HQ
All the screenshots so far have the notification bar cropped out, Google must be cooking up something so big with the notification bar that even the leakers can't bare to reveal yet.
One bad thing though, if the rumours is right then Google will release a new phone around Christmas. I guess this will be with more powerful hardware which will be able to run honeycomb or something.
So then requirments might increase siginficantly to 3.0, which means i need a new phone soon
Well our Nexus's are ready now for Ginger & co.

It's not a rumor, Nexus Two (or whatever they call it) it's going to be announced probably
in November 8th. Manufactured by Samsung. It's the same phone as the Galaxy S
but a little thinner and with a curved back.
Eric Schmidt: "Initially, Google felt that they needed to build a device to help Android along so they worked with HTC to create the Nexus One handset. Schmidt says: “The idea a year and a half ago was to do the Nexus One to try to move the phone platform hardware business forward. It clearly did. It was so successful, we didn't have to do a second one. We would view that as positive but people criticised us heavily for that. I called up the board and said: 'Ok, it worked. Congratulations - we're stopping'. We like that flexibility, we think that flexibility is characteristic of nimbleness at our scale."

Bollocks! I knew I should've waited!! I loved my Nexus One until it was stolen. I loved the fact that everything came there first, as far as updates etc. It was so obviously Google's own phone. I didn't like that I had to use Dialer-One and Launcher Pro though (not crazy about stock Android dialler).
I love my Galaxy S's hardware, but I'm not loving this RFS stuff. How can I recommend a phone to people if they're going to have to lagfix it.. How do I know some OTA update isn't going to break it a year down the line and then they all start phoning me ?!
A Galaxy-S Nexus would be cool I reckon ..

AOKPCB Broccoli ROM

Hey dev brothers !
.. Would someone be able to port the i9000 version of aokpCB over to the infuse ?
link here: http://pcb.team.broc.co/li/aokpcb/
I would first make a healthy donation and then spend the rest of my days hitting the thanks button over and over.
First time around, no avail.
It may be a while until I get ample time to work on this.
I'll try after school .

i couldnt thank you enough for even taking a look at this.! I did a double take when i came across the site and thought the rom looked crazy interesting! what do you think of it? Im still learning the basics right now but let me know if maybe i can help with something. oh and sinceriously, thanks again !
Attempted porting but stuck in a weird kind of boot loop. Maybe another dev can take a look and see what I'm missing? Shows samsung screen for like 3 seconds then turns off. And I have to battery pull to make it work again, then I press the power button...samsung logo for 3 seconds. Right back off.
Broccoli with cheese pls
theRominator if you can cook in this Broccoli for us will be great.
Your effort is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Nice... missed that part .
Hi All! I'm the original creator of this PCB Theme, and I am soo happy to see the eagerness to get AOKPCB on the Infuse. I don't have the device myself, nor does remicks (our build master), but we have chatted with theROMinator, and we're always hanging out in our IRC channel (link on PCB mini-site).
Once again, thanks so much for your interest in what we've put together here. We're serious about this ROM as we run it ourselves daily, so we're always going to try to do our best to maintain and improve it. Also, to touch on the git source topic, yep, it's no problem if you want to port it, but at the least, some credit to us (Team Broccoli) and Team Kang would be more than appreciated. Don't forget to drop us a note too if you do get it going so we can add your work to the Mini-Site linked above (Team Moto Tegra is on the sidebar and does our Moto ports).
Cheers all, and here's to hoping we'll see AOKPCB on the Infuse!

RegawMOD plugin needed for custom bootloader

So now that we have S-Off, I decided to do a bit of research on how to get rid of the red HTC disclaimer and the word "Tampered" from the bootloader screen.
Seems that there is only one way to get rid of "Tampered" and that's to re-lock your bootloader and then flash a RUU.
Whether the word stays gone after you re-flash a custom recovery and ROM/kernel I can't say for sure.
As far as the HTC disclaimer you see on boot-up, It can only be removed by flashing a RUU. As soon as you flash a custom recovery, it'll come back.
I found a thread called RegawMOD which allows you to either delete that red text or change it to whatever you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739314
They also have a thread that has instructions on how to make a plugin for your device so that you can also use his tool for your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776900
And yet another thread with a list of current plugins. Maybe one could be used as a template for us?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786498
I would absolutely love to see this tool become a reality for oneS users and I know I'm not alone in this.
Would probably donate if it worked perfect without issue.

I tried making a plugin, succeeded, but the tool bricked my phone and put it in QDL mode.
That sucks I made the plug-in too but haven't flashed yet. now you got me worried. More than likely you accidentally messed up a digit of one of your offsets but I don't know that for sure.

It's entirely possible. But I had triple checked it. So you might think that everything is correct, and then try it, and you have with you a paperweight.
And when you don't have the money to get it fixed, it's going to prove difficult getting it done freely.

Now that's a great offer!
Also my plug-in will be going into testing soon as Tec can revive his device should I mess it up, however, i feel cautiously optimistic it will go fine and you will be customizing your bootloaders in no time. Now Tec just needs his test device up (not his s3).

Thanks! I appreciate for your generous offer
Although my parents say I'm not allowed to send it over, because of issues of sending an expensive item overseas. At this stage I think I will visit my carrier, but thanks anyway for your kindness
edit: I deleted the plugin I had made out of frustration with myself for bricking it, so I can't send it or try it somewhere else

DESTROYED it yesterday :(

I officially just destroyed my phone yesterday. I was riding my motorcycle and forgot to take it from my pocket to my riding bag. When I got to the gym I noticed it wasn't in the bag and didn't know if I left it home but just FELT something was wrong. I used my nexus s (which is now an MP3 player for the gym) to remote install googles find me service. After a while it finally popped and said it was half way from the gym to my house. I rode back and found it. Someone actually picked it up and brought it into a deli.
Anyway the screen was shattered.... like SHATTERED.
This didnt bother me since the glass was already cracked and everything else seemd to work okay UNTIL I went to make a call.
When making a call and putting the phone up to my ear the screen goes black and it takes a LOT of playing around to come back. I get NO AUDIO when using in handset mode. Like no one hears me and I Cant hear them. I can use it fine in speaker mode oddly.
I took it apart and everything internally looks fine. No boards cracked the speaker looks fine, headphone jack fine. My guess is maybe when it fell the headphone jack and/or speaker maybe popped out of its socket and its confusing the handset when not on speaker.
ANYWAY
I can buy a new screen for 80$ on amazon. Do you guys think its worth it if Im not 100% sure thats the full issue. I could buy a speaker and headphone jack for like 4$ a piece which is nothing but then I was wondering if the light sensor got messed up (which I dont think so) and thats actually fully soldered to the board. I can solder but cant find that part so I think it would require buying a whole main board.
Im using my S4 WHICH I HATE for now and miss my Nexus . Like I feel naked without it, and honestly want to fix it because it was a gift from my girlfriend for x mas cause I wanted it so bad. I feel horrible because this is the FIRST phone Ive ever had something like this happen to. Lucky it had a good spigen case and aside the screen everything else looks new still.
What would you guys do?
If you bought it from Google Play, take advantage of Google's offer to replace/repair all cracked screens for free.

this is true. I wonder why? Think it was the biggest market of phone purchasers? they are an american based company though.
Should I unroot the phone if possible you think? Or do you REALLY think google will care?

Google don't care. They even accept rooted phones as RMA for warranty. Only LG care, for non-play store purchases

Google does not care if you rooted your device. Its a "hardware issue" (if you can call a shattered screen like that ) anyways so it wouldn't make a difference wether the device was rooted or not.
SERIOUSLY ALL OF YOU

Hm, maybe they only have US models? (Or maybe too many US customers RMA'd for "loose power buttons" so they have too many "refurbished")

funny thing is I also JUST RMA'd for the loose power button right before then never sent it in. Being lazy and complacent finally paid off once cause they said if I had any other RMAs I might not have qualified cause tis case by case

Yes, will be available tomorrow. They told me that it's uploading but the connection is slow.
I already have the link to rom ..i will only post the link when u transfer 300$ in to my account
Haha nvidia will update if its in their best interest which i highly doubt it is considering the latest update that they will no longer be bringing out another tablet
Many trolls here i see
Does @Trafalgar Square trolling?

Yes all of the people above were trolling. There is no information on if or when they will even do 7 for the shield tablet. The shield TV should get it but also no info...
Why would you want Nougat?
What's the point of updating software when the hardware remains the same?
Look how slow MM is..
Nobody knows, if Nvidia will give us Android N. So the question from the OP can't be answered.
But I think, that it'll come. Let's wait patiently.

I just saw..
The bigger issue is that they are not making a tablet to replace this one and are only maybe making a new portable it passed FCC but that does not mean it will get made. I am hoping shield TV sales are doing well enough or we might instead see the shield line get dropped entirely and if that happens forget getting 7 or any other patches first party anything like that will be 3rd party so none of the cool 1st party things in these roms...
My issue is Nvidia is doing a dumb move they can't keep the tablets on the shelves. If they updated the tablet but kept the same price point they would still sell almost faster than they could make them...

I can think of 250 reasons...
I'm working on it, no gurantees though
my biggest issue is going to be unless nvidia does 7 then we wont be getting optimized drivers or any 1st party features
The shield is an interesting case because it's almost entirely pure Android, and the fact that we got 6.0 so quickly alongside the other Nexus devices makes it seem like, to me, that it's an unofficial equivalent to a Nexus 8 tablet since Google doesn't make a Nexus 8.
That could also be a coincidence seeing that the shield is nvidia's only Android device which might explain why they're so quickly able to build the latest versions of Android for this device when you see other devices either never getting official upgrades or are heavily delayed.
Also since the base hasn't changed too drastically it seems possible that it might just be very easy for them to port over the build features like console mode and whatnot between versions, whereas something like touch wiz is obviously much more complex.
Therefore it almost seems like it would be silly for nvidia to not update their device to 7.0, even with the NX around the corner, seeing as that's likely to become the next generation of shield tablet, per say. They might as well pop out this update in the mean time and leave it there. I mean all the Nexus devices get updated at the same time and basically have the same exact code anyways!
If it wasn't for the fact, as I've been hearing at least, that Google and nvidia are dropping support I'd say we'd be getting it for sure. However my hopes are high and I still think we probably will since it's truly such an optimized OS and would pull every last bit of performance left in this device. We'll see for sure in the coming weeks. Cheers

New software can fix old bugs compatibility issues and make the software run faster. The same is true with an operating system.

Why are you even on XDA?
For rooting? If so, why change the software if the hardware is the same?
