[Q] Weird sound?

Hi all! Just got my tf300 and I like it very much although I noticed a strange sound sometimes.
When starting an app a "whining" sound comes from "the left lower corner" but when I get back to the homescreen It goes away.
I thought maybe it's from the "harddrive" or something.
Could smebody check this on their tf300's and report back (You really have to listen quite close)
Thanks!

My tf300tg has very similar issue, strange sound(like electric), I thought it's made by internal storage. Sound comes after some time after it's fully charged. If I go to homescreen it goes away

This topic is quite old but I also realized that its the flash memory and it also goes away when getting back to homescreen

yea i got the same thing on my tf300t but i am quite sure it comes from the dock, if you press the bottom against your ear (where you connect the power cable) you can hear the buzzing. Im guessing it caused by capacitors? If anyone got a fix i would love to hear it as it tend to annoy me a bit

Screen flicker in certain apps

I am noticing an issue with a screen flicker in some applications with a line drawing across the screen for a split second. It occurs most when using rdp apps but just saw it happen while typing this post. it's about 3/4 of the way up the screen when in landscape. Usually a black line that disappears quickly, like a graphics corruption issue. Already did a factory reset, saw the same thing on another tf700... anyone else?

Same thing for me after update to JB. Copilot and Cool reader.

You're not crazy, saw this happen while using the Nook app as well. I hope ASUS is aware of this bug

I've been noticing this issue in Tapatalk the most - probably because it's most noticeable on a white background...

same here.... mostly with apps that are being resized because they are not fully for tablets

I am seeing this more and more, and not just with resized apps. Just had it with the gallery.... i have seen this with 3 infinity tabs so far and they were all bought at different times. I can only describe it as a graphics driver issue, anyone else seeing this?

Same for me too unfortunately. I can't even play Horn, GTA3, Black Ops Zombies, or any graphic intense game. It really sucks! Horn worked just fine until the last OTA I accepted. Still on ICS, havent taken the JB update as I'm gonna unlock bootloader and get nvflash going first. Hoping I can cure the issue with a custom Rom *crossing fingers*

Incredibly annoying touchscreen problem

Right, could anyone tell me the problem here? My touchscreen has become crap recently. It's really frustrating now, so much so that i find myself punching the screen! (not too hard though, lol).Usually i'm docked, but even then i use the touchscreen and sometimes it doesn't respond to any input. At other times, it recognises some random input not by me. Like whilst i'm in the browser, i can scroll down properly at times because it starts zooming in or something. It didn't happen a lot initially. but i'm noticing it a lot recently. I asked ASUS and they just told me to factory reset but backup my data. When i asked how, they sent me the entire manual. Could it be a hardware problem? If so, would it be better to get it replaced from where it was bought or to just send it to ASUS?
THANKS for any responses.

I have the same problem. I haven't found any fix yet, the only work around I've found is to turn off the screen. After I turn it on again the problem is gone. I'll try and use a touchscreen tester app when the screen goes crazy again. The random touches seems to be concentrated on the upper right corner of the screen. I doubt that it's hardware problem though.

Yeah, that worked for me sometimes but other times it didn't. Trying a factory reset now.

A factory reset seems to have fixed it for me. Tablet also seems smoother. Chrome is still a bit crap though. I backed up my apps using ASUS app backup.
EDIT: rebooted my tablet afterwards whilst docked and somehow my old wallpaper came back. However, the tablets gone back to performing wose now...

Off topic, but does anyone know how to get my email to check it's inbox automatically without me having to open the app each time? I mean the Asus stock email app. Last I checked, i always have to start the app after which it checks the inbox. I'd rather it be done in the background so i get live updates. Thanks for any help
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app

I has similar issues with my first TF300. I exchanged it for a new one and had no problems. I would probably just exchange the one you've got. My second TF300 had sound issues, and I held on to it past the exchange period and had to send it in to ASUS for repair. They had it for over a month. Should have just exchanged that one also.

Above question and it seems that the touchscreen problem is back. Really don't understand. It can't be a hardware issue if it goes after a factory reset surely?

I flashed CM10, and the issues seems to be gone.

I don't want to be flashing ROM's yet. I think the problem only occur when i'm docked which is strange although i may be mistaken

Touch Screen - Digitizer Problem

Out of nowhere today, I started having problems with my screen. When I press the left middle of the screen, it shows me pressing 2 inches above that. My keyboard in that area, is non responsive, and when I'm in apps and trying to navigate, it gets all haywire on me.
Is their a way to get it calibrated? To stop the intermittent failure of my screen in certain areas.?

Is this happening with power connected or without?
Saw a neat clip once of the screen's different feedback between connected and not. When was connected to power, user showed how his touch input resulted in erroneous touch all over the place.

At first I thought it was during connection. But now it happens intermittently with other without power. When I called Asus. They said it's the "Digitizer" I'm under warranty, but If theirs a fix we can do on our own, I'm all for it.

Unfortunately, it probably is hardware-not software related. Get a RMA and send it in....
If you want to narrow it down some more, you could enable"show touches" in Developer Options.
But I doubt that it would help...

That's exactly what I did, to know that when I touch one spot on the screen, it showed the actual touch, two inches above where I was actually pressing. What's maddening is, it doesn't happen all the time. Just different times throughout the day.

Hopefully forum will let me post this link (still a new born here).
This is the video I saw, though I now see it is for the prime, but anyways take a look at the symptoms he had, and try and find that app he loaded, maybe can help you narrow problem down...

It does sound like a hardware issue with the digitizer. Sending it in might be the only way to know for sure and to fix it. It is under warranty, so you won't be charged anything. Try doing a full factory reset first before sending it, though. There could be small chance that it fixes it that way.

Weird touch screen??!!

Hello
I'm having some issues with my tablet: the touchscreen is WAY to sensitive if i com VERY close to it it recognizes it as touch! and when i have my headphones plugged in and the rubber touches the screen: it also recognizes it as touch anyway to change it?
i am also have some phantom touches from time to time but they seem to disappear after locking and unlocking the tablet again (hardware or software issue?)
i am running android 4.1.2 with cromi-x on the latest bootloader with hundsbuah kernel v11
thanks,

Thanks,
do you also havelines flashing across the screen in some games?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

The headphone rubber touching the screen causes a touch on any device. It's happened on both my tablet & phone. As far as being too close, I haven't had a problem with that.

I used to but now I don't, but then again now I don't really play games, I usually only use my tablet for music and web, social stuff, so maybe I don't see the lines just because I don't play games lol

I'll record a video later about the "coming close to screen problem" it's really strange
another problem i've found: the touchscreen makes a click whenever i press it (it is on the right side over the speaker)
