[Q] How helpful is the latest firmware - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Is anyone used the latest firmware from ASUS (9.2.1.21) and did it resolve the random reboot and screen flickering issue with TF101 ?
I'm asking above question because of following reason...
I have rooted TF101 running on ICS (revolver ROM), after i updated from Honeycomb i have an issue of random restart as my tablet randomly shuts down and gets stuck on ASUS start screen and i have to cold boot it at least once a day.
Since i had this problem i guessed problem is due to stock ICS so i installed custom ICS on my tablet but the problem never went away (before anyone can say anything, i have tried all ROMs available on XDA).
ASUS just few days back released a new firmware update (9.2.1.21), so i was wondering whether issue is still there or not as now i'm thinking of reverting back to stock ROM and hoping this random reboot issue might get resolved..
If anyone has any idea i will be greatful to you as i'm fed up with these bugs of late...

No, the latest update did not fix the RR's or the SOD. (I never had screen flickers?) .. anyhow, you can still use wakelock, but your battery drain will suck. Asus = #FailingAgain

[Q] Problems with touchscreen do I have to send it in

I made a youtube video of my problem here:
youtube.com/watch?v=LL_kubZ4ENc
Have anybody else had this issue with their touchscreen? I have tried to factory reset the phone. Go back to stock rom lock the bootloader, and unroot. But the problem still appear. Also tried to clean the screen and only charge it with the original charger. Nothing helps I have tried to send questions to samsung but no answers.
Have anyone here had similar issues and found a fix?

I have the same issue, only the position is different. Have you worked out a solution? Or still waiting for it? Anyone?
Im on Miui with matrix cfs 5.5 (9023)
huh, if anyone have this problem... I really tried almost everything that came to my mind or sparetime, but installing a 2.3.5 based rom solved the problem even with miui it works just fine

I have this problem also, im on CM7 nightly. cant unlock the screen. Phones barely 3 days old
Had that same problem, and it's gone now. Don't know what did fix it, but I flashed new radio and Trinity kernel, and the problem is gone now...
I thought with the 2.3.5 the problem was solved, but its back now... dunno what it is, my phone is 2 weeks old.
I'm experiencing the same issue on a stock, not rooted or in any way modified Nexus S I9023 (SCLCD version) with Android 2.3.6
Also the settings button is right under the line (so the location is different from the video) and it is unresponsive as well.
Does anybody have any idea what to do about this???

[Q] Fixable or RMA? need advice

I have combed these threads as hard as possible but still can't find a clear answer/fix.
I had a custom rom installed a while back, and it started freezing and not coming out of sleep mode. It has done this with asus official rom as well. Is there a specific process to wiping and installing the correct rom so this won't be an issue. It was running fine for at least 2 months before it started doing this and I can't seem to reverse this. I don't care if i have a custom rom or official, i just want my transformer to be used again!
thanks!

[Q] Random reboot in deep sleep

My Tab is running stock HC 3.2, only rooted with CWM v5.x.
Couple days ago I'm experiencing that the device is rebooting randomly while it's in deep sleep.
Does any fix or patch for this, and can I check a log or something to find why does it do that?
Thanks in advance.
Maybe it's the famous "Sleep of Death" issue?
Check this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386785
I experienced this issue in stock HC. However, after flashing CM9 it stopped. Must be some bug in Samsung's firmware...
Try reflashing stock ROM and see if it helps!
Hope I've helped!
Leave flashing as a second option

Try to Wipe/Clean data in recovery mode first, I used to have the same problem but with stock HC (plus some batteries issue), leave flashing as a second option. Just FYI, it seems that ICS rom doesn't have this bug so far, so you can try it if you want.

Asus TF101 random shutdowns, running cyan 10

Hello everyone, I am having a problem with my tf101 running cyanogen mod 10 (4.1.2). When I leave it inactive for about 30min it will just randomly shutdown. I have had cyanogen 10 on the tablet for about 2 days before this started happening and it was running perfect then. If anyone has an answer for this problem it would be appreciated.
Switch to the teameos ROM. It's much more stable.

I have noticed this on my tab too. usually when i turn it back on the battery is at 49-50% each time. Maybe it's a setting? Or maybe it's just some weird malfunction.

Try going to the development page and download the newest nightly. Make sure there is not another zip inside the zip you download. You will get SN error if you do. Put it on the root of an sdcard (microsd), place it into the transformer, and boot up clockwork mod and select "install update.zip" or whatever it is. Hope this helps! It worked for me. You should not have to a factory restore. Only do that if it will not boot up. BEFORE YPU DO ANYTHING MAKE A BACKUP IN CWM! Restore if needed. Also clear cache and dalvik cache.
Good luck,
Jake
I've found that most roms since ICS have this problem. I think its the SoD (sleep of death issue).
I'm currently running Rayman's CM10 V6 which I haven't updated for a while and that still has the issue.
You can fix it by using "wakelock" from the store, but you will loose some battery life overall as it keeps the CPU active.
I need to spend some time updating my stuff, but apart from SoD the rom I'm using works great..

[Q] Questions regarding the TF300TL

I got the Asus Transformer TF300TL, US model with the LTE support, for Christmas. It came with ICS, which I was not happy with having come from the regular TF300T with JB for the past 8 months. I had MAJOR lag issues, graphics problems and such. I kept searching the web at least once a week to see if there was any news on the TF300TL getting an upgrade to JB. Could not find anything. I even emailed Asus directly to find out if there was any chances later on down the line (the person that helped me knew nothing, telling me that I could use the WW build software with no problems. I knew this person just didn't understand but tried anyway, just in case. The tablet didn't even see the file.) Well, at the end of Feb, the TF300TL finally got the boot up to 4.1, which helped a bit but I'm still finding alot of lags, error messages about how the app that I'm trying to start is taking too long and would I like to wait and such. I successfully rooted the tablet tonight (without having to unlock the bootloader) via the motochopper tool (AMAZING and freaking FAST tool for getting root on ANY device, if you're looking for an easy way to root) and now I'm looking at possibly flashing some custom ROMs onto my tablet, in an effort to get rid of this lag and headache. I know there aren't many, if at all ANY, ROMs for the TF300TL and that I could possibly use ROMs built for the TF300T but I will lose my LTE capabilities. Does anyone know of a way that I can somehow get the LTE software from the stock ROM to be able to keep the LTE once on a regular TF300T ROM? I'll be honest, I don't really use the LTE much, since I'm usually around a wifi signal and I have my Nexus 4 that I can use as a hotspot while out and about, as well as 2 Virgin Mobile hotspots. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this tablet and getting anything other than stock running on it. Also, if I'm stuck with just the stock ROM, is there a way that I can flash TWRP recovery without unlocking or is that not possible? I've already tried twice tonight and it starts out good but then when it looks like it's writing the recovery to the recovery partition, it says "fail". Thanks!

install cleanrom inerhitance 3.4.6 (the newer cleanrom xenogenesis 4.x still dont support 300tg/tl) and
andrew_z1 kernel from its companion kernel package, it should work on TL models with 4g active (unter's kernel works only on tg models, even if the name sais "tg/tl")
btw, please divide your messages in paragraphs, it helps a lot for readability - my eyes crossed while reading your word wall there.

Thanks so much for the quick reply! I really wasn't expecting something for a week or so, at least. I will remember your advice about posts for later. Sorry for this time.
I have unlocked my tablet and flashed that ROM and the kernel you recommended but neither the WiFi nor LTE work. I'm still able to go back to my backup of the stock ROM and everything works (Thank God). Any other ideas about what I could do? Thanks again!!

that's strange, another TL user said that andrew's kernel worked for him.

I've even tried some of the other kernels that are in his kernel installer tool but I get the same thing every time (no WiFi and no LTE, not even 2G/3G). I even tried just keeping the stock kernel. I've messaged the guy that developed the ROM so hopefully he'll have some info. In the meantime, I'm gonna reread the whole post again (all 200+ pages) to see if I missed anything.
Thanks again!
