[Q] TF300T screen click

I purchased the TF300T and have noticed the right side of the screen produces a click sound when applying a little pressure. Its bugging the crap out of me. Can any other 300 owners let me know if theirs produces something similar? I understand it is plastic and not perfect

No clicking on mine.

My 201 makes the same sounds when releasing the pressure in the same area.

Start an online petition. RMA it then demand Asus refund you directly.

that was funny..SMH

Didn't notice a screen click on the one I played with at Best Buy, but did notice a lot of flexing and creaking in the plastic back. I literally, with very little squeeze, could squeeze the back in where I was touching together so that whatever innards there are attached to the back were touching those attached to the front. Didn't seem to make anything run poorly, or short out or anything, just felt a bit strange. I did like the rounder edges which are more comfortable than my prime.

I feel like the issue is just the cheap plastic back covering. When I got mine I noticed I could make parts of the back plate click too. does that mean the back cover can come off? To scared to try and maybe a should just rtfm. Lol

hold it in portrait with your right hand, with your thumb over the asus logo and squeeze a little.
not sure if it will click but it might make the screen turn off and/or reboot.

Mine does the same but on the left side.

I have similar but much worse symptoms. Returning it. Details here.

Do you guys ever get sand or debris in the earpiece?

How do you get it out?
I get a piece or two of dust or debris every two weeks or so. It looks bad and it's hard to get out.

Honestly, I'm amazed that you did this. Those micro drilled holes are insanely small.
I wish I knew what to say to help. Maybe turn it with the grille facing down and using compressed air on one side to force it out?

Fiddling around with some stuff I was able to get it out with play doh. a needle works too if you're careful!

That was another Idea I had. Or silly putty.
..Needle? Scary..

Yep it happened to me. Just took a needle to poke the debris and pulled it out. Did it for each hole to be safe, but be careful with the notification led hole.

Mystery Bag of Parts?

Just got the Note 10.1 and in the box was a small bag with some parts. What looked like S-Pen tips and a small metal ring. No reference to these in the manual and I couldn't find anything on XDA. Can anyone explain what these parts are for and how to use them? Also is there some instructions on these parts available from Sammy? (Note New User) Thanks!

These are indeed S-Pen tips and the metal ring (described in the docs) is to pull the tip out of the pen.

Okay thanks for your response. I must have missed the instructions in the docs for the spare parts!

"Mystery Bag of Parts?"
I got a chuckle out of this. That's exactly what I mentally called it, and just waited for someone to explain it. :laugh:

Wait you mean that wasn't a bag of Korean nose pickers and a nipple ring? Damn my sister she is always pulling my leg!

when is the rigth time to change them ? and for what reason there hard ones and soft ones

The hard and soft tips are because some users like the feel of the soft tips on the screen and some like the hard ones. the soft ones to me make it closer to a paper and pen feel and the hard make it a more slippery type of feel. When to change I'd guess depends on how much they are used and personal preference as to when they don't feel right any more. I've had a Wacom tablet for a few years now and haven't needed to change the tip on my pen yet.

Crumbs getting lodged down side of screen?

Is this annoying the hell out of anyone else? The gap is so fine not even a pin gets them out. A needle only works sometimes. Any fixes?

Same problem with me man, I dont even know where they came from, its in the bottom bezel of mine, I managed to clean most of it out with a safety pin but if you look really close you can still see them

I use a piece of paper to slide through it. Works well for me

Might try to use a can of compressed air too.

So it's not just me, then!
Ah, it's good to hear that I'm not the only person with problems over the industrial design of the N5. I hate the nasty sharp edge round the screen! The N4 feels so much nicer in the hand. And it doesn't fill up with muck around the bezel.

Hahahaha just the thought of you eating a sandwich and crumbs falling onto the phone.
But yeah I got various bits of dust/ crumbs in the bottom bezel. Like they said, a piece of paper or a pin worked pretty well. Still an annoying oversight.

Had the same going on. Just used a small needle and all is good.

Canned air works great or if you have a case on it like the Spigen hybrid like I do, you could just blow on it really close and are able to push a lot of air pressure against the case.

Thanks for the paper tip!

I might ruin yours and everyone elses day here, but what about between the lens and the plastic casing around the camera.. that's what's bugging me at the moment there must be some variations in build quality, because NOTHING can get down the side of my screen, even paper creases.

Always use the edge of a piece of paper to get dust/lints/crumbs out from the edges. IMO using a needle/pin will eventually enlarge that gap and cause more crap to get stuck in there.

Also, a needle has potential to scratch if not used carefully.

[Q] Screen going in sleeping mode in certain positions

Hi Guys,
Have had this trouble since buying it new. Only 2 months old. Screen suddenly gets black and going in sleeping mode when you put the Tablet flat down. This must be maybe something with some sencor. Like that sencor for the cover when putting down. There is some magnet sencor i Think. Anybody else experience this same trouble? Any solution?
Thank's
Galaxy Note Pro 12.2

Are you using a cover with a magnet/sleep feature? I've tried a few of them, and they all make my tablet sleep when I flip the cover open and flat against the back of the tablet

I have Samsung Book Cover for my NP 12.2 with that magnet/sleep feature. Never noticed that it would turn screen off when it's not closed. Just to be sure I tried and no matter what I did or how hard pushed it towards the back of tablet, screen stayed on.
Cover I am using is Model: EF-BP900BBEGWW
This model ends with *UJ. Don't know whats the difference but at fast look, it looks the same and I can't be happier with it

Yes, i am using the original thin magnet cover made by Samsung. Can it be that really? The frånt of the cover goes on back of the tablet when opened so how can that affect?

The magnet's effect goes out in all directions right? If that particular magnet is strong enough, it can cause the magnetometer to react, whether the flap is in front or back.

There are several threads on this issue. If you put pressure on the edge of the screen with the Samsung cover folded back, the note can go into sleep mode. I almost returned my note pro because it kept going to sleep while using LectureNotes. I changed covers and haven't had an issue since.

That is exactly what happens. Cover on back and it's enough with some small pressusure in some places on the front and the screen goes black. So what cover would you recomend? Because now it's second time i have it back to the shop for fixing and this time i told them that if it continues then i wanna return the Tablet and cash back
.
Thank's for responding about this...

I'm using the WAWO Smart Fold cover and haven't experienced these issues nor can I replicate them.
It's a $9 case on Amazon as well so shouldn't set you back much.
One thing I can say about the case is that the magnet isn't particularly strong and feels just strong enough to hold shut but it's easily opened when you want to. It may be too weak to trigger the sensor when folded back.

Okay thank's for the info. Amazon is out of my reach since i live in Scandinavia but i look around on Ebay

I was having the same issue with the Samsung cover, As soon as I got my mine tempered glass in I just ripped the flap off the case and use it as a hard shell cover.

Same situation here.. im not gonna switch cases though so I need to consider what to do

I received a couple of reports of device going to sleep while using LectureNotes. It turned out that the problem occurs due to S-pen usage (this is why you observe it with LectureNotes) if Samsung's AirView is enabled; the problem did not occur anymore after disabling this service.

oh i see. therefore, what would be a sustainable solution, could be to disable when taking notes in LN.
otherwise i thought it had something to do with the fact that i actually use a second s pen while the first one is docked
