Same here. My TV doesn't support 1080P only 1080I so I run mine on 720P but still I see what you see.
Same here using 1080p. Also when rotating the phone to landscape it fills the TV but the left side is cut off as well.

You're right, That app could do it. Sadly, it does not work on all devices (ie. going lower than Android's restricted minimum). It works on my Nook Color, but doesn't on my Evo3D, which has MHL
After all the excitement of my TF arriving I fired it up to find that the touch screen has issues. Say you are in landscape mode, about an inch from the top there a half inch wide strip that runs all the way across the screen that will not respond to a finger touch. I either have to have it docked and use the mouse to do anything in that area or turn it to portrait to change the orientation so what I want to touch is not in that area. That same area of the screen is dead in portrait mode too.
Also, it won't charge through the USB ports. I was in on the TD sales so a return is not possible. I'll wait till more are available, buy another from a different local vender then do a swap and a return.

I left it sit with the screen off for over an hour and the battery level dropped. I also tried it completely powered down and the battery level didn't change.

Wasn't that by design? I seem to remember hearing that the power supplied via USB is so little that you can't charge there, but have to use the a special cable?

It was like that outa the box. The first thing I tried to do was drag a few icons to the removal area. As soon as I slid it up the screen and hit that area I couldn't drag it any farther. It was like I took my finger off the screen. It took me a while figure out what was going on.

Hmm... Now that you mention it I think I read that somewhere too...... Time to do more research.
The problem I have right now is I am leaving for camp this afternoon and I have no electric there yet. So I guess I better have it fully charged before I leave. It's going to be tough getting a whole weekend out of a new new toy.
One more thing, I left my wall charger at home so I borrowed a coworkers Thunderbolt wall charger to see if I could top it off before I left for the weekend. It won't charge it either. So something must be pretty special about the TF's wall charger.
Although the problem seems different from mine, it does show ASUS has some quality control problem with the touch screen no TF. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068569

I had exactly this with my first TF, except it was a 1/2" wide strip about 1" up from the dock connector. Factory reset and unplugging from the charger had no effect. Asus was willing to do an RMA but I returned it to Newegg instead and hunted for another one.

Ok, after reading all the new posts this morning from a lot new purchasers I guess I am not the lone ranger with some issues. I guess that is to be expected for us early adopters. I'll get this unit switched out when they become more available and I'll just deal with the screen problem till then.
I love the TF. The screen is beautiful, seems very responsive in the area that it works and is extremely fast. When it's hooked up to my Bolt using 4G it surfs amazingly quick. I can deal with a bug or two for a while.
I've got the same thing but about a third of the way from the bottom of the screen. It doesn't respond to touch when I lay the tablet down, but when I hold it in my hand it will respond better but still not great. Strange.

I'm wondering if there is a way to turn off the phones display when playing a video on it through the TV by hdmi. I been playing some blue ray rips and noticed that the display in the phone stays on the hole time throughout the movie. There is no point for this since I put the phone down and just watch the TV.

I don't think there is a way to turn off the screen...i've tried several times and i couldnt. I think its hartware related and u cant turn off the screen while u are at hdmi.
You could try MoboPlayer, whereas you can swipe down the left side to go all the way to black. This should only affect the screen, not any HDMI output. To get it back to display, just swipe back up, or press bottom left which is same as hitting the 'back' button. You could see if this method works so you'll not be distracted with the display while watching on your TV. This method may not save battery, but does take away the distraction of the Atrix 2's screen being on...

What would happen if you pressed the power button while the video was playing? Just curious.

Everything stops.
Has anyone encountered the following issues with their SHIELD?
Mine was working just fine after updating to 4.3 and rooting with CWM. I performed multiple reboots in this configuration, played games, etc. - everything was fine.
I had a pretty busy weekend so didn't touch the SHIELD at all for a few days. When I got back:
When I opened it up, I saw the screen backlight turn on but nothing displayed on the screen. The SHIELD button was glowing green.
I long-pressed the SHIELD button to turn off the device. When I turn it back on, I get a white screen that is dark around the edges (mostly vignetting around the corners). The brightness of the screen here and degree of vignetting seem to change every time I try and turn on the device.
If I enter fastboot mode via the key combo, the same thing happens - white vignetted screen. The device DOES appear to enumerate as a fastboot device on my PC in this configuration.
At one point I figured it might be due to a low battery, so plugged it into the charger. 30 minutes later, when I opened the lid, I actually came up to a launcher screen with 65% battery.
However, after closing the lid and reopening it again - black screen again, with the "white vignette of death" coming back if I reboot.
Has anyone else seen similar behavior? Searching results in no one complaining about a white screen like this, at least not on this device.

So ive already gotten two shields and they both got the same effect. my guess is the ribbon cable when you open and close the screen, is wearing off? because when i open my shield in a certain way, it works... when i open it at around 100 degrees or open correctly then tilt it forward, the screen tears and slowly shows the white screen. I do admit that i open and close the screen more than i should, but i do it carefully. Ill look over at the ifixit site to see how the cable is connected to the board.
This is what has me worried about buying a shield, the ribbon cable, did you confirmed this was the problem?

I am a tech by trade and bought one of ebay for 40 bucks cuz it would not power up so the guy claimed. After getting it I found the issue was actually the display was not coming on and once it did. Then went out in a few moments. Connect it to HDMI and the unit runs all day of you want to be cabled. ]
So I tore it down and found that the issue is the flex cable. The problem is that the flex cable is part of the LCD and you cannot just replace the cable. Also since the unit is so new there are no sources as of yet to by the LCD from.
So if you have this issue I suggest just holding out till a source of LCD's at hopefully a reasonable price become available.
So it's soldered to the screen and not replacable right?

That is correct.. The flex cable is actually an integral part of the display and even has much of the driver circuitry placed right on it at the LCD. In the business we call it a flex circuit since it is a flexible circuit board and not just a cable.
I pretty much know what you mean.
On my old Archos Gamepad I ripped the flex that connected the left side of the controler to the logic board by accident.
It was a pain in the ass to fix it by soldering seperate wires, I guess it's impossible to do this with the display connection in the Shield.

Might be possible if you used 32 gauge magnet wire. It is enamel coated so it won't short, but it to will break over time.

How are you supposed to flash a factory image when the screen won't let you see what you are doing? When you are in the bootloader screen the HDMI drivers are not loaded yet so not even hooking it to an external monitor will work. You might want to fully read and understand the problem next time before offering advice.:good:
fastboot tells you if you were sucessful or not.
just for relocking the bootloader you have to do some button combinations, you can look up some tutorial videos to see what you have to press.

Even still, it is not a software problem that causes this. I know because if I move my display to a certain angle it will start to work sometimes. A software issue would not cause this. I also have taken my apart since I am a tech and can actually see the traces in the flex cable that have broken..
Any device with a folding display is a bad idea and a failure waiting to happen. Flex cables have a limited number of flex cycles that is even usually published. So the idea of using them in a device that may get heavy use is just dumb.

I agree, they used flex in the Nintendo DS and 3Ds as well, but they don't break that fast.
I find it still better if they have used recular cables like what they use for Laptops.

What you are saying is the EXACT same thing that happened to my SHIELD. I can tell its a hardware problem because when I tilted my screen it would work, and sometimes it wouldn't. Now my SHIELD's display does not even show any signs of picture. HDMI still works, however. Like one of the previous posts said, there is not a screen available for purchase, so my next step is NVIDIA customer support. Maybe if they would sell these screens, I wouldn't even have to have a warranty claim. sigh.
White screen of death?
yes mine too same as
i tried connecting my via HDMI from power cable to large HDMI to plug it works fine on my galaxy tab
thought id be clever try it on nvidia shield never worked sould of bought mini HDMI so now White screen of death

This. I'm having a similar issue. My wife's SHIELD has an unresponsive touch screen. So I tried to flash the factory image (It was never rooted to begin with) and I got the white screen issue when in the bootloader screen. I have to keep restarting it to get the screen to show up as normal when the device boots to the home screen. But the bootloader screen is still blank and white. I was able to watch a video and mimick the steps to flash the factory image but that did not fix the issue. It's definitely a hardware issue. I live in Cincinnati OH, anywhere I can go to have this fixed? I have a portable myself and i know this is going to happen to mine soon.
The LCD screen of my Xoom MZ604 is not working as it should. Basically, it is dead, there is nothing to see, its black. But if I connect using the mini-HDMI to the TV I can see everything and I can even move around the menus by tapping the the tablets' black screen in the appropriate places.
Im assuming this is a hardware fault and that I need a new LCD screen (ive already tested connecting plugs). Can someone confirm this.
