Awful burning smell coming through the speaker! Firmware related? - Asus Transformer TF700

Okay.. I know that is not normal... I don't know if it's me, but since the update, the sound is a bit louder too.
What can be causing that odor?

oh dear what the hell happened?

I hope this is isolated and not something caused by the update..
God forbid...

Ouch! I sure *hope* that it is not related to the update! But then again, it seems that the update is unavailable all of the sudden.... I sure hope the two aren't linked!

I can see that there's a bunch of customers pissed off about the ota update

Exactly!

Just finished setting up a replacement order for August 2nd. Let's see if this thing implodes by then..... lol.

No problems here -- my speaker smells like any other PCB or solid state device I've ever smelled.
Hope this is an isolated thing.

Mine does too, but for me, that smell can be a bit associated with a burning smell. Also, I'm still on 9.4.5.22.

A BIG Bug! with opening files in file explorer!

Suppose you are using default file explorer or any other one from market and you have a list of files like images/videos....try opening one of them! Screen gets dim and nothing happens!
It's stupid!
Hrm, doesn't seem to be the case for me. I'm able to open all media types from file browser on 3.2
Same for me, update seems ok so far, and it's nice to finally have battery usage.

Take your transformer out of the dock, rotate 90 degrees, then back. Everything should work now.
Seem to be the problem with "default apps": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191106

This worked for me! But it is funny as I should undock each time I want to use file explorer ( after each restart! )
Anybody reporting this to Asus?

A little reading would go a long way. This was reported earlier and solved earlier. It should be fine once you correct the issue...

Thanks for your comment. As I noticed it is not resolved. To take dock out each time after restart is not that convenient.

Hmmm... Mine works fine now after the fix... Have you tried clearing the defaults on your players?
I don't have htis problem after the update, worked the same in File Browser HD
Works fine for me. This seems like a bogus warning.
Please update your topic so everyone is not frightened by the update. If there is a work around, no need for the "Do not update! Big bug"

Mea Culpa. You are indeed right. I missed the restart action in your post. Once I restarted, it needs the fix applied again. Back to the drawing board!

I understand it may frighten users and I changed topic. However, it is a real serious bug!
Somebody in a thread below said after a reboot with it docked the problem comes back and you have to undock it again. What's odd though is I wonder why this only affects some peeps? I have mine in the dock always and have had it in there through the whole update and after and have NOT had this issue and even have done a couple reboots since. And I have an old ass B30 or something dock and tablet.

But it is only a bug for certain configurations. Others seem to not have any issue. I watched 2 movies after installing the update. It could be specific to the type of files you watch or how you encoded them.

Mine seems to be fine... Mine defaults to moboplayer and I used the built in file manager to open my video files...

No idea why it hits some. I had my dock throughout update connected and even hard reset it after. I just sent message to Asus support and also tweeted them.
The bug comes back each time i start my TF. So i have to rotate it everytime in order to have it work. Annoying. Asus, come on. You gotta be kidding.
I have tried a few things including uninstalling my RockPlayer app to see if this fixed it but no luck... The issue comes back after each restart. I hope there is something we are missing. It only happens for a few of us so it must be the individual configurations... I can set the default to my preferred player for my videos but it still affects other apps/programs that need the "complete action using" dialog box...
*EDIT*
This is wierd, I went back to reinstall my Rockplayer from the Market and it gave me a agreement message like it is the first time I have used it... Now Movies show up in my Market tabs next to Apps/Books. I could swear it wasn't there yesterday after the update??? Anyone else?

Two different colored screws?

I never noticed myself, but when I closed my TF, some-one noticed the color difference in the screws on the stand of the dock...
I don't really care, but am I the only one?
Edit: It's a B60...
I have a B6O too but my screws have both the same color.

Mine is B6O too, they are both the same.
B60. Both are stainless.
Maybe yours was made from leftover parts .

But both, the dock and tab are very solid...
I guess this one is a collectors item?
One of your screws is actually a ditto pretending to be a screw!

Well...it's just a color difference...possibly the spec allows color differences.

Did the previous transformer models have the low volume issue?

Hi,
Only had my infinity for a week so still learning my way around it.
So far I'm really pleased with it. All except the very low volume issue. I installed the VOLUME+ app which has helped a lot.
Is this a hardware issue or is the forthcoming Jelly Bean likely to fix it ?
Were there low volume issues with previous Transformer models?

I can only confirm that the tf201 had (more or less) the same volume, which indeed is quite low.
I'd recommend installing (and therefore buying) Volume+ from the Play Store for .99
It boosts your volume and actually keeps it quite clean as well!!
Besides that: it's merely my humble opinion those two volumes match and I am not entirely sure.
However, you will notice the effect of Volume+
(On a side note: I don't know why so little people answer these kind of questions They're easy to answer, take very little of your time and can help another person a lot.
I hope I did just that by replying! )
I have had volume issues with the TF101 as well... However, while I did have low-volume issues with my original TF700 (which had an un-related hardware problem and completely died), the replacement TF700 volume is actually plenty loud - so it seems to vary, even among the same model.... Can't really explain why though...

Thanks for responding. As mentioned I had installed Volume+, although the free version, which has mad a considerable difference. I hope it's a software issue that'll be fixed without having to use a 3rd party app to fix it. Not that that's a problem, I'd just rather have it right to start with.

It seems as jtrosky posted, some suffer with low volume and some don't. It's seems from my searching that it's quite common. Mine was extremely quiet to the point that even on my own in a quiet room I could hardly hear it at arms length.
Having problems with TF700T
I have problems with sound too, It started cracking today when i was playing a game. Now the volume is on Full but i can only hear sound that is equal to 25%. Sent a email to ASUS about my problem and i haven't heard about it yet. PLUS first reply! :angel:

Echo,Crackling noise

Everytime I am on the phone & can't figure out why it's doing it... Anyone else ever had same or similar issue's ??
Speaker or earpiece or both? If one, does it still do it when you switch to the other?

Earpiece,Bluetooth & Speaker phone... It worked fine then I flashed a JB rom and it went kaput
Hmmm I was gonna say blown speaker but...now I'm not sure. How long has this been going on? Could it be network related (I know kind of a coincidence) if it were me I would try a clean install or new ROM. Maybe downgrade to last OS temporarily to rule out a hardware or network issue. Hope somebody has more info for you.

Replacement phone displays issue?

I had to get a replacement phone because the volume button stopped working.
I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that the display on this new one is very washed out and had a pinkish tint to it... I don't know, it just doesn't look right.
Does anyone else have this issue, or is it all in my head? I am a picky person
UPDATE: I just called Verizon for a replacement with no problems. Hopefully this new one has a fresh screen.

Sounds like a display panel issue to me. I would definitely beginning another replacement. I know its a hassle but I that would drive me nuts. I know if you're not happy with it you can have another replacement ship to you. I wouldn't wait too long though get it taken care of as soon as possible

I'm just afraid that they will say since there is nothing wrong with it, they won't give me a replacement or that they will charge me for another one.

I definitely call them and find out that information for sure. I'm sure if there's an issue with the phone that they'll send you another one free of charge. Just call and explain it to him. You don't know until you ask. Now it specially since you're on the newest firmware you can't root it I would definitely be exploring my options

I may do that.
Also, I just now noticed, but the top of the display bleeds. So I probably will get a replacement.

I would definitely get a replacement. This phone has the best LCD I've ever used on a mobile device. Colors are fantastic, whites are white, any there's absolutely no light bleed. It sounds to me like you have a defective unit.

I know it does. The screen on my last one was fantastic. I may call support next week and try and get a replacement. I do expect some hassle, though.
