I tried the fling 2 times feature of the app awesome on off but it seems does not work.
The app developer says it uses proximity sensor. So it doesn't work because our tablets don't have one?

No, I don't think it has one.
Why would it? Sure it's generally used on phones to detect when you're holding the phone to ear to turn the screen off. Don't think people intend to hold a 10 inch tablet to their head.

Had my pad in my bag for work hanging off a chair.
Bag slides off chair and falls, maybe 2 feet to floor?
Now my transformer will not show anything on the screen. When I wake it, the screen lights up a pale black. It basically repsonds to waking it but there is nothing displayed on the screen.
I want to try and reset it but don't know how without waiting a few days until it dies.
Any suggestions?

Nothing.
I held down power button for 10-12 seconds. Powers off but the screen still lights up when powering on. Just doesn't display anything. Grrrrrr!

Google Is Your Friend.
1 888 678 3688
RMA was created.
That was the fastest, most trouble free customer support experience I've had in a damn long time.
Two thumbs up Asus.
They are sending shipping label and the pad will then be on its way to Asus support for anywhere from 5-14 days turn around time. (depending on availability of components)
good stuff, let us know how you get on.

This is a common issue with many transformers unfortunately after drops and knocks.
It is actually the data cable for the display coming loose, the back light is still on because the display is still powered, making the pale black of the screen. There is a guide somewhere on xda to take your TF and reconnect that specific cable. If you do not wish to take you TF apart I found hitting the back of the tablet (near the base where the connector is) it a flat palm can often knock the cable slightly back into place. This actually worked for me personally and it hasn't broken since.

Hi.
No, there is no such function on the TF700.
The 7" Nexus tablet has it, but not this one.
For the Galaxy Note with a Flip Cover, we can to use the sensor of light and/or sensor of proximity to obtain the same result of Smartcover.
You must install the app Power Switch and it's work.
I think or i hope it's okay with our TF700 ... what do you think about this ?
i actually think thats a really good alternative...gonna look into the lite version when i get home...

I don't need a magnet. All I do is close the case with docked tab and it sleeps. Wakes when I lift the lid.

This app is VERY impressive, thanks for the suggestion. My friends' jaws dropped when they saw it in action. Silly iOS users. :laugh:
Need some help
I installed Awesome on off ultimate on my Transformer Infinity, but have some problems. The only way to turn screen off is to press the Screen off icon. No gestures or flings will turn it off. Tilting the Tab turns it on ok.
When I pick ut the Infinity to bring it with me in a bag, the screen turns on by accident, draining the battery
What can I do to turn the screen off with gestures, including those needed to turn off the screen more permanently so that I have to turn it on with the physical on/off button?
Thanks

Incorrect.
There IS a magnet sensor on the tablet to turn the screen off when the dock is close to the screen. The magnet is on the right side of the keyboard dock, sort of beside the touchpad and under the menu key.
Problem is that sensor only gets activated when the dock is connected. Maybe there is a way to trick the tablet to think the dock is connected and enable this sensor. Sure would be handy to have a magnetic screen off switch on sleeves.

Could I ask how do you know this? Is there a way to check the presence and state of such extra sensor. In the kernel source there should be something.
I'll be able to confirm if the dock has a magnetic sensor in a few days. I have a magnetic stylus that I just got a few days ago that should be able to trigger the sensor if it's there.
What I can say already is that there is definitely a magnetic spot in the location described, to the right of the trackpad and below the menu key. My stylus holds on very well there. I had the tablet on the entire time though, so no chance of accidentally seeing any sensor behavior. Would check now, but I'm away from home for a few days and I forgot to bring the stylus with me.

To test it, it's simple. Put a magnet on the screen at the position corresponding, on the dock, to the one described by pileot and you ll see that the screen will switch off.
As pileot said, unfortunately, it only works when tablet is docked.

I have Apex Launcher installed. For my down gesture, I have it set to launch "Lock Screen App" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kennethcheng.com.lockscreen.free&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwia2VubmV0aGNoZW5nLmNvbS5sb2Nrc2NyZWVuLmZyZWUiXQ.. Also, do you have set for the display to go to sleep? I noticed if I carry my tablet in portrait mode, the screen doesn't turn on. Maybe you can give that a try. Hope that helps.
I'm not understanding how to turn the screen off with ultimate on. What icon do I press. I press the one in the notification bar and it takes me to the ultimate on menu. It doesn't shut the screen off.

Just sent grandmaster an email if he can make a setting for us without a proximity sensor. Use with tablets. We should be able to set the tablet down for a couple of seconds and the screen should shut off. Maybe even give us a choice on how many seconds before the screen shuts off. I would like 3 second delay the off.

Several things. First, i have taken the dock apart (to ad pennies into the front of it to make it heavier so it tips over less) and noticed the magnet. Second because if you take a paperclip or other light, metal object and place it about 1 inch to the right of the touchpad and about 1 inch below the keyboard it will stick. Third, when the tablet is DOCKED you can put a magnet at the right spot in the screen and the screen will turn off.
Problem is it only works when docked.
,has anyone tried to use a magnet to sleep the infinty with the transsleeve locked in instead of the dock? Wonder if it just has to have something in the slots for the magnet to work.

Don't know if someone is interested in this, but due to this thread I was able to locate the hall sensor position of my TF701T. Obviously it is the same as of the TF700T. Without anything docked I am able to put the TF701T to wake and sleep with a little magnet.

Not sure if anyone is still following this thread but there is a solution for Eroc162 turning off the screen with a jester. It's called Screen off and lock. If you have the swipe to search button and don't use it this app will use that jester to turn off the screen. If you are like me and have flashed KatKiss KatshMallow 6.0 (Marshmallow based ROM) you can use the onscreen widget . Works great!
I had TF700 for only 1 month and the power button already got stuck in.
How is this possible ?

It's called a defect... It happens. While the buttons on the TF700 *are* flimsy, I don't believe I've heard of any other complaints of a non-working power button, so I think it's safe to say that this isn't a common issue.
To be honest, I don't use my physical power button much and hardly ever use the physical volume buttons. When at a desk at work or at home, my bluetooth mouse automatically wakes the device and I turn it off with the lock button on the dock. The screen also automatically turns off and on when you open or close the docked device.
So, the only time that I use the physical power button is when I turn the device of/off when it undocked, which isn't very often...

The power button still works, but requires some pressure to turn device on/off. It feels more like a sensor button now, i.e. if I press it, it doesn't travel down at all.
Your tablet is still under warranty if it's only a month old - just get Asus to fix it and be done with it. No amount of complaining in this forum will fix it!

No, not if you unlocked it.
However, you *can* purchase a SquareTrade warranty up to 90 days after purchase, in some cases. You may want to look into that... I forget what the exact terms are - sometimes you have up to 30 days after purchase and in some cases you have up to 90 days after purchase...

I do not understand what you are asking, however, this is what i get from what i read.
You are looking for an app to turn off the display when the light sensor is covered because you have a cast that folds over the display?

Hi Xdaers
I'm sorry if this has been posted already, I tried searching without finding anything that worked.
I was using my TF300T last wednesday and i got a notification telling me of a system update, so i accepted the update.
After the update was applied the device booted up fine and i continued to use it, at the end of the day i put the device to sleep.
The following day i went to wake it up and nothing happened. My first thoughts was the battery died so i charged it until the light went green on both the pad & dock, Still no response. PLEASE HELP ITS OUT OF WARRANTY.
I have tried holding POWER, POWER & VOL-, POWER & VOL+, RESET BUTTON.
I also tried connecting it to my pc, it failed to detect the device.
I dont know what else to try. :crying:

What could have broken it, all i did was leave it over night.
If i put my ear on the top left of the back i can hear a very faint noise when pressing the power button, like my nexus 7 does just before the screen comes on.

If its just the screen you can always try hooking up a HDMI to a TV and see if you get anything. Just to make sure did you make sure to hold down the power button long enough? Sometimes you do have to hold it down for quite a bit for something to show up.

I have had it connected to the TV with no picture. I held the power button for at least 5-10 minutes. I've even removed & replaced the battery and tried holding power, no look there. I did find something interesting when I removed the back tho (bare in mind this device was brand new and has never been opened before) I found 4 warranty sticker all broken and finger prints fused onto the copper heatsink.

Tell me about it I'm going to be speaking to training standards as I was sold it as "brand new" followed by speaking to the shop I got it from telling them they broke the sale of goods act 1979 (selling a refurbished unit as pristine). Hopefully I will get a new device.

So just a quick update I just got back from my holiday and thought I'd try turn it on, and as if by magic it booted as normal.
Now the only issues I have is random reboots.
It seems to restart after a few minutes when I touch the screen. Is it possible to revert to ICS without root. I managed to do it before just by copying the update file from the Asus website on to the SD card. Will that work when going from 4.2 to 4.1???

AFAIK you can't go back to ICS once the tab is upgraded to JB. See this thread. However, you can go back and forth between 4.2 and 4.1. Hope that answers your question.
