[Q] SOD I think..?

I'm running Prime 1.7 I never had any problems with my tablet. It has the creaking and light bleed. I was watching netflix the other day and watched all the way till the battery went completely dead 0%. I got home plugged it in and it charged up all the way but now the screen wont turn on. If i connect it to the mini hdmi i can see everything on the tv but screen still wont turn on.
I've tried:
Fixing Permissions
Clearing Cache
Undoing overclock
Removing SD
Turning it all the way off waiting then turning it back on.
Adjusted the Brightness
Changed Wifi.
I cant factory reset or anything in CWM because it doesn't show up on the tv through hdmi and i cant remember the each button pushes to do it blind.
Any Ideas?

Mine went blank once but that was the adw launcher. Rotating it fixed it and i was able to choose stock launcher. If nothing works you can try screencast to see the recovery on PC if you have Android sdk setup.

Did you try to hold down the Powerbutton till it switches off to make a correct Restart?
When the Tab is running hold the Powerbutton till it's off and wait till it starts again.
Normaly that helps with SOD.

You should press the power button 10 to 15 seconds...

So far nothing worked. I'm on stock launcher also.
I've tried to resetting it over and over still nothing.
I attempted to letting the battery die completely again.
Placed it on the dock and nothing.
Thank you for the suggestions. I will update if i ever solve the issue. I'm going to try screencast, but i never used it before.

I got screencast to open up and running. however it wont work in recovery. ADB recognizes it. I keep getting a blank screen. Any ideas?
I'm thinking the best option would be to nvflash it to stock and RMA it if it doesn't work.

NV Flash
Hi
if nothing else seems to work then NV Flash might be the best idea.
Could you share the BXX(First 3 digits of serial number)?
Thanks

[Q] My TF101 stuck at EEE Pad Blue Bar screen!!!

Hi All,
I had ICS installed on my TF101. However yesterday it totally discharged when it was asleep and I had trouble turning it on. I never had this happen with HC. So I decided to go back to HC. I had my tablet rooted and su backed up. Had recovery installed.
I flashed official US HC fw and everything went fine until I tried to reboot the tablet. It's now stuck at the EEE Pad loading logo with the blue bar approximately half filled in. No amount of button combinations does anything. I can't enter Vol + & Pow button to enter ADB, and when I try to enter recovery mode, the white text shows up saying searching for OTA recovery and that's it, still gets stuck at the blue bar.
Any ideas or ways to get to my recovery before I return my 2nd tf101? Thanks!!
(Btw, I'm not a newbie, I would NEVER do this whole thing if ICS was stable and worked like it's supposed to, but I refuse to own a 390$ half working tablet that crashes, has battery drain issue and gfx glitches after the FORCED ICS update!)

Have you tried cold-booting it? (power + vol-, wait untill you get the option to cold boot or wipe)
Also, I dont understand what you mean by "forced ics update". I ran my TF for several days without updating (albeit, with the annoying icon in the notification area).
Although I guess you bought the tablet new and recently Im still going to ask. Whats your serial number (3 first)?

Hi Goatshocker!
I have tried to cold boot it, but it does not allow me to get to the 2 icons you're talking about. When I hold down Vol - & Pow, it shows the regular white letters from bootloader, and gets stuck at the blue loading bar EEE Pad screen.
What I meant by force, is that after 4 delays of the update, ICS will install itself automatically! Even when the tablet is in sleep mode. That's what mine did.
In order to avoid this, the user would have to root his tablet and use Titanium Backup Pro, and disable certain system update processes. Which is NOT for the casual user or for anyone who wants to keep warranty intact.
The s/n I have starts with C2O.

Why these reboots?

I've been having my transformer for 4 days and I installed some apps and nova launcher. I usually use my tab to browse internet or tapatalk but in these 4 days I had a lot of reboot especially when I browser the web with boat browser, or when I try to download a file. The system become unresponsive and then tablet reboots. I'm always in balanced mode. And I use also a custom keyboard (thumb keyboard).
Is there a way to understand wich is the problem or the process that reboots my tablet?
I love my tablet and I don't want to return it if it's a common software issue that could be solved in (near I hope) future.

It might be the Nova Launcher or some other software incompatibility. Try uninstalling some to see if it gets better.

Yes..
You can get instruction for a cold boot here http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-help/11510-various-quick-fixes-links-help.html
Let us know how it goes..

Yup,
I agree with all others above.
Some of us have a tendency to try a bunch of different crapplications from the play store or wherever.
I always download a bunch of cool sounding stuff...then the tab will start screwing up...then I get rid of everything...then I do the factory reset...then I say to me..."hmmm it's working good now"...then I start all over...
Have fun!

Ok I did a cold boot but what exactly does this method?

I had to shut down and start up my Infinity this evening, because Google Music would not run, it would just open up to a black screen. Closing it out and even stopping the service did not resolve.
I have to do this frequently with Google Maps because if I try to use it, it will close out back to the home screen after launching it and it tries to communicate over GPS.
It would help if ASUS put a restart option when holding the power key button, instead of Shutdown and Cancel.

Actually, It would help even more if ASUS would just fix even the most commonly encountered bugs so we could have a relatively stable system. In particular, the Google Maps problem you described is most likely due to the Nvidia GL kernel bug which Nvidia has had a fix for since April. What excuse does ASUS have for not pushing out updates with fixes for the bugs this serious and well known?

Very True. I have gotten so fast at "Terminal Emulator -> su -> reboot" that I probably wouldn't use it if they added it in

I had purchased the Nook color power button for my old rooted Nook with flaky power button. I put it on my Infinity. . It works great been using for a month no problems. Gives option to sleep Power off. Reboot. Cancel. Also sleep function does put tablet into deep sleep. I also use it on my Bionic. Works on it except for sleep function which Bionics sleep function overrides but does reboot Bionic without going through the Bionics routine of total shutdown then start. This button does not speed up any of these functions but it works remarkably well. It was a I wonder if with my Bionic a few months back and it worked so when I got my tab i figured try and see. lol Just reporting it works for me Thanks

[Q] Touchscreen re-calibration?

Hi all - my TF700 has been solid for about 9 months, but this past weekend the touchscreen started getting wonky and now it will work for 5-10 seconds and then not register any touches, until the power button is toggled to put it to sleep and then wake up and go through the process again. In my research, it appears as if this can be addressed through recalibration of the Touchscreen.
However, I don't even know if that's possible with my current stock/rooted setup. I did try booting into recovery, but I saw the RCK/Android/Wipe Data prompts, and didn't want to go anywhere without knowing what each would do. I'm guessing maybe the Android button, but I'm not sure.
Is there an easier way to recalibrate the touchscreen without doing a factory reset, or going to a new ROM yet?
Thanks!

This may be a hardware problem with the digitizer going bad. I would contact Asus, they probably will recommend a factory reset and you should try that anyway.
But a custom rom will not take care of this problem - at least I do not think this is software related....
Good that you are still under warranty!
FYI:
RCK will boot into the stock recovery which will not do anything unless you have an update file downloaded somewhere on your storage - it'll just show you an Android falling over with it's belly open a ! triangle. Scary if you don't know what it is! LOL
Android will boot you back into your system. This is a so called 'cold boot' and you could try that. I doubt it'll help, but it won't hurt either.
Wipe Data does exactly what it says. You better have everything you care about backed up before you execute that command.
You use the Volume Down button to navigate between the icons and the Volume Up to execute.

Hmmm. after enabling Developer mode (so I could d a Titanium backup), I decided to enable the touch sensing, and what I've found is that it appears as if there is a spot in the northeast quadrant (while holding vertically, with buttons on the right/dock connector on the left) that gets stuck in the 'touched' sense (the little dot sticks, and in the kindle reader, it acts like the text is selected).
Sometimes it gets unstuck when pressing the power button to sleep, and then re-logging in via the lockscreen code I have set. Sometimes it doesn't. I guess I'll contact support and see if I can capture it on video with my phone.

2 asus tf700 will not boot...only vibrate

I have to Asus tf700 that will not boot they were only vibrate when you push the on button. One is rooted with zombie and the other is stock I get a display on the rooted tablet on the monitor I have connected through HDMI and I am able to navigate on the tablet with the keypad attached. The other one stock unit I am NOT able to get a display on my monitor I have truck I have tried holding the on button and depressing the up and down volume keys no joy. I have tried pushing the manual reset button in the little hole on the side of the tablet. No joy. Is there anyone that can help me thank you in advance for your help.
I'd like to add that both tablets had their batteries drained and his condition appeared after I attempted to recharge them and start them up. Thanks again

Both of them started t do this at the same time???? Did you have power surge when you were charging them? Thunderstorms?
Very strange...
Anyway, if the rooted tablet boots normally and only the display is dead, it's exactly that: the backlight is out and you need a new screen.
The stock unit: Not much yoou can do with a locked bootloader. Can you get it into the bootloader menu with Power +Vol Down?
If not, there's not much more you can do. But you can cannibalize the sceen andput it into the rooted unit!

Restarts as soon as it enters recovery
Hi, my tablet froze last night and could not get out of the frozen screen, so I forced a restart , only to have it boot loop.If I try to go to recovery it just gets to the Twrp image and restarts again.
any help is appreciated.Unit cannot shut down and gets hot at the top left hand corner.Tried to hard reset using the side reset but to no avail.
Thanks.

This is happening a lot lately.... What rom and TWRP version are you running?
Check out the last few pages of the Katkiss Katshmallow thread. That's where we successfully solved this lately.
But I would really like to find out what's causing this. Can you try to access the tab in adb while it's looping in recovery?
Try to pull the recovery log and dmesg log.

Thanks after a lot of attempts manage to get the thing going but could not get to get a log as it was restarting after a second or two in twrp screen but managed to push asus stock and unit is ok. Will root again and use a custom as it surely runs much better.
Thank you for your attention.

Hey, I'm experiencing the same issue right now.
In my search I found this:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/as...216663-tf700t-now-won-t-turn-post2270270.html
I plugged it into my pc and after a short period, pressing the power button showed a battery icon in the red zone. so I'm going to leave it plugged in overnight.
