It says 'English' when it boots... - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, I must have done something to cause this... when I boot up the mighty TF300T it says "english" across the screen for a few moments.. I took a quick look in the language settings but nothing leapt out... any ideas on how to turn this notification off would be great thanks!

The same happens here, with Português (Portugal).

Same here...I just reset my tablet and noticed it at the first set up screen as well...not a huge deal but I would like it gone as well.

Mine used to do that for a while after I first got it but has since stopped. I don't know for sure what stopped it but the best I could come up with was when I updated to firmware 30 that may have done it.

Do you see the ASUS logo when you boot up the tablet? Can you describe it a little better please?

Do you use ASUS's keyboard (for the on-screen keyboard, that is)? Every time I rebooted my Transformer it said slovenčina (which almost means Slovenian, since I'm using that layout) but stopped once I switched to Thumb keyboard.

Hey you could be on to something there. I switched to the jellybean keyboard. Perhaps that's what stopped it.

It is indeed due to Asus keyboard. Changing to other keyboard stops it.
Observed it once I installed Swype

Keyboard Button Fail. Still love the keyboard dock though.

Anybody else notice the button to launch the browser will only launch the stock browser? I have the stock browser disabled and use Chrome as my default browser so that button does nothing for me. No big deal, but the real fail is the location of the button to lock the screen! I keep hitting it when I reach for the backspace key. I'm sure as I get used to the keyboard size I will be making fewer typing errors and I will get used to it, but locking the screen every time you overshoot the backspace key is kinda lame.

Would you really label the keyboard as a fail just because of this? I have never hit the lock screen by accident. There is a lot to get used to, coming from a pc keyboard (and android on-screen keyboard) but it's great to have all these feature keys. I really love the keyboard dock...leave it docked at all times.
Yeah, after owning the dock, I wouldn't want to go back to using a tablet without this extra functionality.
Misleading titles annoy me.
Edit: Here is a link for the Dock browser button hack. (Root required to mod certain files) I haven't tried it myself but it should still work for those that have the original TF201 dock. This will allow you to change what browser is launched instead of the native browser.

Now as for your issue with having the lock button on the upper right corner... Good luck with that. Its not a flaw from the device. Its more human error. Adapt evolve... You can do it!!! Haha. I for one love the Dock! Quite the opposite from what your title insinuates.

Yeah I really would never own a tablet without a dock after this. People's faces when I show them my "netbook" is actually a tablet is priceless. Keyboard FTW!

How is the title misleading? It wasn't intended to be misleading. And even if it is misleading your inflammatory comment is just as annoying. Thanks for the link though, I will look at it for sure.
And whether or not it is human error isn't the point. I know it is human error and I have already adapted to the size of the keyboard. I can proudly say I haven't hit the lock key since I posted this thread. I just wish they would have put a different button in that spot.
Edit: Changed the title of the thread to be more clear.

People ask, "Is that a netbook?" I tell them no, it's an android tablet and pull the screen from the dock. So far this has resulted in oohs, ahhs, and wows. Kinda funny.

You'd really call THAT an ''inflammatory comment''? Oh boy....
OT: I've hit the Sleep button numerous times, and keep hitting it since I go back and forth between my (primarily gaming) desktop at home, the desktops at work and my TF700. It is getting a bit infrequent, but every time I hit it still is a sigh moment. And I keep missing letters like the "a" and "o", and I kee hitting ";" instead of " ' "... but hey, that's clearly my fault.
My wife is a touch typer (or 10-finger blind, or whatever it is called in English ) and she won't even use the hard keyboard because it doesn't provide the feedback she needs, or something like that. Maybe you have primarily the touch typists' aproach, while people like me (who have to look at the keyboard anyway) have less trouble?

I don't look at the keyboard when I'm typing. I got used to this one fairly quickly. I just had to learn the smaller keys and layout. And I definitely know what you mean by a sigh moment.

Yes, I know how to multi quote. Do you know how to send private messages when trying to communicate something that is off topic? What harm is there in the method I use to quote people? If you can tell me a good logical reason I will start using the multi quote.

does anyone else have the same issue as me that the tab key on keyboard doc does not tab fields it just advances the cursor by a couple spaces?
best example is when using the google spreadsheet app, tab does not go from field to field like you would expect. Other times would be when something is looking for a username and password. tab does not advance you to the password field

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.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
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...

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

.[Q] Keyboard with no battery

Hi there,
It's about time I root my infinity but before I do I just want to check up on some issues to see if it's warranty or just an annoyance I'll have to live with...
Whenever my keyboard is out of battery while the tablet is not, my tablet seems to turn off while not being actively used. Is the the way it's supposed to work, or at least the way it works for everyone?
Thank you for reading!

Yep, if you mean turns the screen off. You can set the time out under display settings. No, if you mean completely shuts the tab down.

Official android 4.2 discussion thread for Asus transformer infinity

Thanks! I've been lurking in the forums waiting for this. I'm just divided as to whether I should wait and see how it goes for others, or just download the update and see for myself. Not because I'm afraid of bricking (locked & unrooted here) but because 4.2 did have some issues initially on other platforms...
Anyhoo - thanks ASUS!

I don't think you should be fearing that much about bricking your device. There are a few unlucky people brick their devices every time there's an update.
I wouldn't flash the update on an unlocked device. That is how some TF300 users bricked their devices. Wait for Asus to put up the full rom.
I'm just going to wait. Mainly because a lot of apps aren't 4.2 optimized yet. I'm not afraid of bricking since i'm full stock, but I always have bad luck with updates of all sort.

So no one knows exactly what the update may entail? What was the change log for the TF300? Im sure they will be, at the least, similar..

now im really ticked off. the one option i was looking forward to in 4.2 was the ability to use the nexus 10 launcher instead of the current launcher they gave this option to the tf300 users just updated to 4.2 and this option is no where to be found. what the hell asus !!
The TF300 had a lot of bricks. Maybe that's why they did away with it? Could that have been t cause?

Actually i could get into cold boot screen. Only thing is that it vibrates twice before getting into the cold boot menu and that there are only 3 option on the cold boot screen.

How is the 4.2 running compares to 4.1? faster, smoother, no change??
I've noticed the "recent apps" function has changed. Instead of a vertical row on the left side of the tablet, you now get a full screen, horizontal look, of your recent apps. Will take some time getting use too.
On the cold boot screen. I believe you now how to manually start the cold boot (by highlighting the android icon) then pressing up on your volume key.
Lastly, I get an annoying warning about my sound being dangerous if to high, when I try to raise the volume. Anyway to disable that?

I got a notice that the system update was downloading, I waited then got a screen that said do I want to install, I tapped "install" and the screen said "Powering Off". Its been off for about 20 minutes and won't restart.
Any thoughts?
On edit,
Now its restarted and it's downloading the system update file again.
Its doing the same thing, checked system integrity and then powering off but this time it looks like 4.2 is installing.
One minor thing I've noticed is that the inexpensive 3rd party charger I bought off Amazon now no longer registers as charging (although my 3rd party battery app does, indeed, show that the unit is charging). That's an annoyance, albeit minor.
Unless the new tablet version is extremely different than the phone version, Asus is no longer using the stock camera app. So no photosphere.
Also, no quick camera access from the lock screen, not that I'm using the tablet often to take quick pictures.

Try disconnecting and then forgetting it. Cold-boot the tablet, and then re-pair.
