Again, posting here since I don't seem to see anyone complaining about this, and I'm thinking if it's time to send my tablet to repair.
Whenever I play Gyro based games like Riptide GP or Busted (under-appreciated game btw, I recommend everyone to try this game, it's free! )...
I notice that my jetski or my ship bears left slightly.
So I downloaded Smart Tools, used the protractor, and confirmed that whenever I place my tab on a flat surface, I get a 5 degree offset to the left side. And that's what causing all my racing games to veer left.
I tried the in-app calibration option, but it only fixes it for that app. Once back to Riptide or Busted, my racers veer again.
(Edit: you may download the protractor only for free.)
Has anyone experienced this? or does anyone know of a fix?
"Bubble level" from Antoine something... Its available in the Market and is full-free.
This might be of use to you, as it has a sensor reset in its calibration settings.
I dont know if the in-app calibrator is device-specific or only in that particular
app, but I just tried its Reset feature, and it indeed does reset it. Give it a run
and let us know

Thanks for the suggestion omnius. Now, I didn't see a "reset" option, but I did see "calibrate". I tried to calibrate both orientation and accelerometer sensors, and they were fixed in the app, but when I go to Riptide GP, the 5 degree shift still seems to be there.
Do those G-sensor based games work fine on your A510?
When Im in the calibration settings, Ive got 3 options, Calibrate, Reset Sensor, Cancel
I cant see why reset aint available in your setup.. Hmm, I really dunno :-!
Have you had a check with other device info apps, just to confirm all sensors is reacting and available?.. Just an idea
Sent from my A510 using xda app-developers app
Again, thanks for the reply. Yes, I tried Smart Tools initially, and all sensors seem to be working. There's just that 5 degree shift in the protractor that's affecting my games.
And, that is very strange that you have a reset option and I don't... We're using this Bubble level app right?
That is indeed the same Im using.
You dont have that Reset button, as per this shot from my A510.?
Sent from my A510 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for attaching the thumbnail, I was looking for a reset button once I press the menu button on the upper right corner (feel free to laugh at my stupidity. lol.)
So I did try the reset button, unfortunately, it only resets the calibration in-app. Once I rest my device on a flat surface, I can again see the offset (because the calibration is gone), and when I try Riptide, I have a slight bearing to the right again.
So just to verify, when you press reset on your tab, does the green dot center up by itself? Or do you need to recalibrate it?
(My expected scenario is there should be no need to recalibrate. But if you also do, then I guess, I don't need to contact Acer support for this.)
I havent had that slide to a side that you do, yet, but would as a fellow racer be severely pissed if it happened.. :screwy:
But yes, it ligns up to center, as far as my kitchentable is straight, upon applying the Reset.
But not having that drift myself, I hardly know what else to advice you to try.
You might be able to digg up a hidden system intent, either Iconia or ICS specific, to fire up a real device sensor reset, thou so far I havent found any yet. But I'll let you know if I do

I'll prolly take time to contact Acer support one of these days too. Thanks again for helping me out!

Update:
So I sent my tablet to local Acer Support last weekend, and after three days, they told me that my Gyro miscalibration issue is a mainboard issue. They're replacing the mainboard this afternoon since they just received the part today.
I'm half happy/sad that I did get a lemon tablet. But hey, hopefully, this ends well.
Update again:
After following up on the status of my tablet, it seems that replacing the motherboard did not resolve my issue. My ticket has been escalated and I am now being offered a new unit instead. I was asked to contact my retailer and provide my ticket number, since they've coordinated both with my retailer and my distributor already.
Will update this thread until I get a fully working tab.
To anyone reading this, wish me luck.
Just a quick update.
Got my new tablet from Acer service yesterday and my gyroscope is now perfectly levelled.
when i play high-quality games, sometimes the game will stuck and the screen flickered constantly. you can turn back to home screen, but the game need to be stopped.
i tried to update, or change change ROM version. now it's better, but the issue is still exist.

Thing is, ever since I got the tablet, I only tried Riptide and Busted (just to confirm my Gyro is ok, and it is. )
What game do you get those flickers?

when the flicker was occurred, reboot is a good choice, if not, when you restart the game the problem would possibly show up again

Since I see that you have the most problems with Asphalt 6 and Shadowgun, I'll install those over the weekend and report back.
I was able to try a few minutes of Shadowgun, Asphalt 6 and 7 over the weekend.
And the only time I get that screen flashing behavior is when I have a window on top of the game (i.e. Facebook login.) Other than that though, the game seems to be handling normally.
I did notice screen tearing in the background for Asphalt 6 and 7.
Also, I notice some gyroscope misbehavior at certain times in Asphalt 7's game. Which is what some commenters in the market also mention, so I'm not too worried with it. I might play Asphalt 6 more then.

yep, i installed the CWM ( version 5.8.4 ) a few days ago, i used the wipe data/ factory reset, then it killed my tab:angel:
finally i know this CWM was under testing, i didn't read the title and instruction carefully. :crying:
so it's not recommended to do sth may harmful to the tab until u know what u r doing

Hey Guys,
An old-school alpha-geek, I started on a Radio Shack TRS-80 model 100 (Holy cow I should have kept that) and most recently an iPad 3G. I lead with this factoid only to suggest that I am comfortable with touch screen GUIs. -{)}
With the stock ROM my brand new G Tablet , Screen tapping does not register 20% of the time. Specifically when I press my finger on an icon it often does not launch.
This did not change with the "status update" Viewsonic pushed.
Is this behavior something I should get used to or should I expect a Vegan, tnt, etc ROM flash to rectify?
TIA!

mildness,
1. No, I would not call that normal. I do think my tablets work better with a firm press of the pad of the end of my finger than with a tap (aka, fingernail?). If it continues and you don't find a solution, I would look at return or swap options.
2. When I got my first tablet, which was way back in November, I barely could get the offscreen search/home/menu buttons to work. I was frustrated and tried everything. Then one day I installed another version -- not sure whether it was an OTA update or a ROM -- and suddenly it was fine!!!! Don't know why.
I know this doesn't "answer" your question -- but I hope I have given you ideas to work with.
Rev
My screen seems unresponsive when it is cold. That usually means right after I boot it up. Once it warms up it seems to work much better.
I didn't notice this when I first purchased it, back in the first week of November. But it was much warmer outside then, and I keep my home cool to keep costs down.

Indeed, it's either this or a defective unit, better exchange it if cal doesn't change a thing...
P.S.
When calibrating, I noticed sometime it was not perfect, so sometime it need a few shot to be perfect, but if you do not see a difference then it's probably defective...
I had the same problem. Search my name and look for a post that I made including directions from another site on how to calibrate your screen.
I am at breakfast now or I would post the link. I was the same way you work and we're just about to return my G tablet. This fixed it 100%.
Just so that you know it is the right post it involves placing a blank calibration.ini file on your sdcard and sdcard 2.
Good luck!

So, I did a search of the forum and I couldn't find anyone talking about this specifically, I apologize if something for this exists already and if so please point me in that direction.
The Dark Meadow is a Tegra 3 game, I'm sure many of you have heard of it. I hear it's a great game, but I wouldn't know because I'm having a problem. Now I've only done a little bit of research on this, and it seems to be a problem across both ASUS Prime and TF300, but I'm not sure what it is.
What happens is when I launch the game, regardless of what power mode it's in, it goes through all the launch videos "Nvidia, Unreal, etc" and gets to the main menu. I can start a game, and it launches. The sound works fine, but the screen is white and then begins to flicker. I have no idea what is causing this, or why this would happen and I've not noticed any problems with any other games.
I've tried clearing the cache/data, I've tried completely removing it and redownloading it. I'm not sure what else to try, or if I'm stuck just waiting on a fix from ASUS, Nvidia, or whoever made Dark Meadows. Ideas, Thoughts, Comments?
a fresh reboot or soft reset should clear this up. Asus is working on the gaming issue. mines did the exact same thing. after a reboot or 2, it went away and game been working fine ever since.
I don't know how I didn't think to try that before, but wow it worked.
For the record, I had the same issue. Reboot + switching power mode fixed it after two tries.
Great looking game by the way.
This is not an Asus specific issue. I had the exact same issue on the Acer A510, one reboot cleared it up. That is 3/4 Tegra 3 devices. I wonder if the HTC One X is experiencing the same.
I had also the white screen problem with dark meadows. But since i updated through wifi to the newes official Version .26, Dard Meadows is running well
Very cool and fast graphics

Just got my new TF700. Major, major touchscreen issues. But these are weird... At first it looked very much like hardware fault but the more I try and use it the more I think its software.
First off, the left hand side not as good as the right hand side. Its first turn on was not usable and its been getting little better as the hours go by. 2 days in now. Done the normal re format, drain battery and also got it warmed right up with a good turn off also. ( Elec Blanket worked great for this controlled warmup ) Nothing has made a direct impact as some others have claimed on the whole Transformer range.
Ive had to take a video of what's happening. I've turned the developer options on to indicate when the digitizer detects the touch and also the indicator when the system responses to this touch. There is clearly a delay in when the system reacts to my touch. But sadly not as clean cut as this as sometimes the digilazer doesn't even sense my touch. Notice the left hand side not as good but still does work sometimes.
http://youtu.be/aslnYafGLf0
To me there is clearly a software issue with this delay. The system response times vary's heaps especially with 10 point touches. But at other moments its not detecting my finger at all... Ive read a lot of TF101 firmware upgades have created touches not to get detected also. Still software going on here ?
My issues with Asus and repair .... I brought this from USA and brought it to New Zealand over night. Big risk yes but it does have the Asus international warranty. 2 days after the invoice date NZ has to say it can be a repair only. I understand NZ doesnt have this yet but this is a huge kick for me as the turn around time is 5 to 8 weeks to repair my 2 day old product. They will import a new screen in but not DOA on receipt date. That hurts Asus but what if its your firmware ? Could it be fixed by the firmware first ? Its nice having a RMA number already as the NZ guys are great but I dont want to be their first TF700 to pull apart as it will never be the same.
I dont feel I can root it to test it some more as they might run away from warranty. Im stuck.... My first Asus product not been a motherboard and not happy with the evidence in front of me guys, please help me out.
Holy crap, that is ridiculous! Dunno what it might be, but I would try PM-ing that vid link to one of the Asus guys on XDA.

What? I thought it was always laggy. (By touch indicator I mean the line drawing thing you enable in dev settings)
This sounds as nothing a good custom ROM shouldn't be able to fix. (Unlocked bootloader has been released today! )
My HTC One X 4.1.1 never has any lag at all. Asus TF300 has a little but not inconsistent like this. The very edge of the screen is the hardest to even work and pushing to maximise finger area helps. But its the not even seeing touches and a long swipes does not work as it cant stay locked on.... Pinch to zoom very crazy because of this.
But its looking like I am the only one which is saying hardware ?
**** Update : Wow this is a huge epic fail from Asus. My patience is fully coming to an end. Asus have not done a single thing for me on this fault that makes it unusable.
I have a software issue. Its very clear it is now. Lastnight I did another hardreset to try and get this .26 update. For the first time ever it worked, 100% worked on its first boot up. I had a really really happy half hour with it and man it felt good knowing I didnt buy the most expecince tablet dud on the market. But, I did a standby power once and Boom, back to its crap unusable old ways.
So 100% working after reset then one power down resets it to its old ways. When it did work for that 30mins its was 100% working.
Gary and Tien from Asus. These guys have both repied to me. They are not the big Asus people at all, they are just USA Asus. They havnt even done anything for me at all. A huge let down as they make themselves sound like they can help. My unit is a USA unit. They have not asked me to do any tests, offer me a test firmware or even a better video. Or ask what hardware versions I have, simple nothing and taking the piss of what they are offering to this advance community here. Not even an email saying the new update is coming out that may help.
The really bad part about this is its quite clear that the .26 update talks about upgrading the touch FW. Tien emailed me this morning saying they cant even give me a copy of this public released FW for me to fix my problems.
EPIC EPIC FAIL FROM ASUS.
What should I do everyone as im starting to think about getting on a hill a shouting this out to more than just this forum.

Hey, it's always nice to hear that a case actually went over to the "Resolved" bin for a change (and all that on a stock ROM update instead of the custom ROM I had put my stake on, hehe). I'd rather have threads like these revived for messages like these than the dozens of useless threads that are cropping up on XDA re-chewing regurgitated (and partly decomposed) matters.
I'm glad it worked out so well for you, and wish you all the best and a happy forum forum presence and participation in the coming future.

Hi All,
I live in Australia and received my TF700 from the US yesterday. I charged it up and then attempted to do the initial configuration where it asks you to choose a language. However the touch screen does not appear to be working – it is not responding anywhere I touch so cannot continue past this screen. Have tried cold booting (power and volume down key) multiple times but no change. I am guessing it is DOA – or is there a chance it is firmware related? I am reluctant to send back to the US as it is going to cost a fair bit...
I am going to borrow a mates keyboard dock and see if I can continue past this screen with that and then hopefully install latest firmware. It is the only thing I can think of...
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
I've recently noticed another touchscreen "issue". Apparently, the digitizer is either incompatible with the screen resolution or just a software bug. When you scroll really really slowly, you can tell it's jumping by a few pixels at a time. When you fling though, it is completely smooth. This does not affect actual usage whatsoever but I do think its an interesting thing to point out.

Mines seems to be too sensitive. I put my finger as close as I can put it to the screen and it activates whatever icon is under my finger. Doesn't annoy me only when I get near the bottom right of the screen and the panel pops up.

Good capacitive screen. You are electric, lol.
Hi Guys - thanks for the advice I appreciate it - however I decided to bite the bullet as I was dreading sending this thing back to the US etc... Anyway - so my touch screen was not working at all - so I borrowed a keyboard dock from a friend (lucky I had this option), and could then proceed to configure the device (using the keyboard of course). I then manually downloaded and installed the .26 firmware and hey presto it's a miracle - the touch screen now works perfectly! So it was a risk but I am glad I had a crack anyway. So hopefully no-one has the same issue as me but if so then this might be worth a try.
Thanks again for any feedback.

1. Open up chrome.
2. Swipe down without lifting finger off.
3. Scrutinize the motions extremely closely while moving your finger as slow as you can.
You should notice multipixel (2 or 3) jumps.
My mother in law has a TF300 that has been really glitchy, so much so that it was basically unusable (the 4.2 update seems to have made it better, but still not perfect).
Her biggest issue has been sporadic touchscreen non-responsiveness. She thinks that this might be worse when connected to the internet (some app working in the background/updating?). Today she also had it where she couldn't use the screen while connected to the keyboard, but when she disconnected the keyboard it started working again, but that may have been a fluke.
In addition, there are times when it will act as if you've pressed an on screen button, even though your hand was nowhere near said button (almost like a ghosting effect on a keyboard, when the computer is running slow)
I've got the tablet with me for a few hours and I'd like to help her get it to the point where it's working normal again. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Almost as soon as I mentioned the on screen buttons, it started acting up.

Did it just start or has it been doing it since day 1? Go to settings, then Backup & Reset under Language & Input and do a Factory data reset.
That's the fist step in finding the problem. Bad side she will loose all saved data so save it to a pc.
4.2.1 update rolling out
hmm is that a galaxy player 5.0
I can't remember how long it's been giving her issues, but it has been a while. Multiple factory resets haven't fixed it. In the time I've been tinkering with it I've disabled some of the bloatware and turned off Auto Updates from the Play Store, so we'll see if those help in any way.
I've also noticed that the notification bar keeps getting stuck (either up or down). It looks like rotating it helps fix that, but still that's less than ideal...
Ah, the joys of being tech support :silly:
I've got it hooked up to my laptop in an attempt to use LogCat to help debug, but I'm not sure if I'm seeing anything consistent enough to label it as the cause of her troubles. Still, a resource available if anyone knows what I should be looking for there.

Yes, yes it is
If it's under warranty then send it back. Hopefully she hasn't had it over a year.
If it were mine it would've already been in the mail. Since its not unlocked and factory reset aren't working there's not much else that can be done without voiding the warranty.

is there a screen protector on it?
My TF300 always the same thing whenever there was background IO, even with Android 4.1.
Turning off the useless syncing and auto Play Store updates do help.
Also check to see if the storage has been filled. IO performance is also decreased by having a relatively filled flash.
So having disabled the Auto Updates from Google Play seems to have made a world of difference. I'm surprised background IO took so much out of the tablet, since it's running on a quad core, but oh well. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
I have tried reinstalling the os, root and unroot. Before the newest update I could get into the debug menu, *#808#, there I could see that the accelerometer is giving faulty data. After the update I can't even get into that menu again.
Seems to be a faulty sensor and something with the software. My facking phone is 2 days old........
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas?

Damn. Sounds bad too.
I noticed this while playing Asphalt8 using the accelerometer to steer. It would work for a bit then get stuck trying to drive me into the side of the road!!!
Thinking it may be a bug in the game, I looked at the raw sensor data using Physics Toolbox Suite and saw the same thing. The sensor outputs sensible data for several seconds, maybe even a couple of minutes. Then the values stop changing for about 12 seconds. The length of time the sensor works for is random but the 'dead time' is always about 12 seconds!
Has anyone found a solution to this? Even a hint as to whether it's a software or hardware problem so I can decide if I should send the phone back or wait for an update.
Thanks
Okay thank God someone else has the same issue. I was wondering what was so wrong for the longest time ?
Extremely annoying issue.
It's a software issue. Confirmed.
When I reboot the phone the issue dissapears. Meaning there is something wrong in the OS that tilts the gyroscope readings. At least there is a workaround... Hope OP fixes it soon
I used an OnePlus 5 for 2 years. Now I bought a 7 Pro. I'm wondering doing a downgrade due to this issue. Incredible how a company like oneplus and a premium phone has a software bug like this and there's still no update yet. Months without an update...
The fingerprint sensor also has a bug... Sometimes it simply doesn't work. The touch stops...
OnePlus! Where are you?
