No, but OTA root keeper got it back. First thing I noticed was that the HDMI output options are gone. Not "reduced" but completely gone. Freaking awesome. I actually used those.

Oh my god!!!!! You are right!! Hdmi options are gone, this is horrible! Gary... do something! WE USE THOSE OPTIONS AND THEY NEED TO BE PUT BACK PRONTO!

Man, that is some enthusiasim right there! I just stumbled upon a workaround. If you reboot the device while HDMI is connected, the system will start in stretched mode. Just DO NOT navigate to the HDMI options menu on the settings screen and it will stay stretched. The moment you go look for HTMI options it switches to cropped and the only way back is another reboot.

I knew about the work around, but yes, it really is that critical, i just showed 50 users how to use it after the update have us those new menu options!

Ouch, that is gonna leave a mark then. I actually wasn't sure about the workaround... I've noticed various system settings that seem to "change" after a reboot such as performance mode and screen saver settings. Wasn't sure if this would stick with the new update or not. Also don't know how consistent it is.
Personally I'd love to see the options come back with a change to the stretched behavior. When displaying the entire screen to HDMI out there is absolutely NO reason for the Android status bar to be twice the normal height. Wasted freaking space.

I read somewhere that the option shows up only when you're connected to an HDMI source .. perhaps have it connected, then go into settings and look below ASUS customized setting ?

It will show up between "ASUS customized settings" and "Power Saver" when you have an external display connected.

Got it back with OTARootKeeper. My first impressions are:
mediaserver is still crashing when the camera is supposed to render video off screen
system bar lock got an extra option: show system information (or at least I can't remember seeing in there before)
detailed release notes from ASUS on what was fixed/changed would be nice

I am rooted on stock and after ota didn't lose my root, was just there as before

Yes, the HDMI menu shows up when connected but the actual options are non-existant.

Does Gary even have any control of the update what so ever??

I don't think he does, but when his dev team told him they ready to release, then he come in here and post. However, he does reported issues he found on this site back to his dev team, but it's up to the dev team & Managment team decided which issue to work on.

Turn off Tap to click?

Anybody find a way to turn off tap to click? I don't wanna disable the touchpad completely, just wanna turn off tap to click

+1 for this - I've been looking for something like this since I bought my original TF101. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find anything (I did try, believe me).
I know it can be done, because the Jump Desktop app disables the tap-to-click feature. I even went as far as asking the Jump Desktop people to write/sell an app that does just that (but everywhere in Android) - however, they were not interested...
Anyone have any ideas?? It would be nice to leave the trackpad enabled at times instead of having to constantly disable/re-enable it (yes, I know there is a dedicated key for that on the keyboard dock).

The solution for the prime was a custom kernel that disabled it, but that required having a custom recovery. Seems like we have to wait a bit. Still searching though!

Well, we do have custom recovery now (TWRP), and custom ROMs are in progress, so hopefully we'll get that soon too! Would be great...

[Q]fix for browser washout after update.

Ok so all the black font is perfect and crisp on most everything until I click on a post on xda. Then it starts loading the page and the black font turns washed out. Like it never finishes loading the page or something... anyone else experience this? I just got the ota for JB if that helps. But I don't think that's what it is... cause this happen to me on the tf300t after i side loaded flash player, all I had to do was reset the browser settings and wala. But not this time...
These are a couple screen shots. The washed out one is when it's finished loading, the other is one I quickly captured before it loaded all the way.

Yup. I have had the issue ever since the JB update. Interestingly, it only happens if I was logged in i.e. as a guest, it won't happen. I use stock browser.

That did it for me - thanks!
I do miss the quick dedicated icon to mark the forum messages read (the 2010 layout requires 2 clicks), but the grayed out appearance was annoying.

I complete agree but it worked for me as well

Anyone occasionaly unable to open quick settings menu by tapping clock?

Hey there,
Just curious if anyone else sees this problem? And if there's a known reason or fix? Pretty much like the topic name says.... sometimes tapping the clock just does nothing, no matter how deliberately I tap or hold it. I know it isn't hardware because when I rotate into the other other orientation, that portion of the screen that was just the clock now responds fine to touch. A reboot will fix. Thoughts?
EDIT: Should have mentioned - bone stock, unrooted, locked etc. Havent gotten up to any tinkering with this thing, too many bad hardware reports to invalidate warranty lol. Though my hardware seems good so far...
Thanks...

I prefer the ASUS quick setting to stock Android notification, but I don't think I have any problem with them. Have you try cold booting your tablet? Shut down and press power+volume down?
I know you said it's not hardware, yet that sounds like a digitizer problem.
I get this from time to time - I even got it once last night, after flashing CleanRom 2.3... which was a little disappointing.
I've found that if I get a notification of some kind - say, an email being received - it clears this bug and I can then tap on the clock to bring up the quick settings menu and it will work fine from then on. It's only after a reboot that the bug reappears, but then not every time.

Yes. I get the issue since I believe JB update. One work around that worked for me is open setting from setting icon, which I have on one of home menu. Some how after that it works again. So I agree it is definitely not related to hardware.
Hi,
Yes, this happens randomly with my tablet too. Likewise, only since JB.
As noted above a notification does seem to make the issue go away. I have tried all sorts to find the cause but always come up blank. Rebooting also removes the problem.

I had this issue with JB. It was annoying as hell. Went back to ICS because of this and the "black flickering lines" problem. I already posted about this, but maybe it was on TF and not here... It's a bug in JB...

I suffer from this as well.
Yeah, notifications seem to fix it. Glad I'm not the only one... I guess. Really is annoying as hell to not have quick access to brightness settings and stuff. Funny, I didn't know the cold boot required the volume button trick, I thought just a normal shut down / restart did that. Thanks for the tip, I'll do it regularly lol.

Sorry all, but I don't have this issue on my rooted, locked .18 JB. It works very well indeed.
I also have this problem. The only way I can fixitisjust a shutdownand restart. Can be annoying.
Same here... Started after the JB update... One quick fix for me is to plug in my ear-buds and the QSP pops up.. If you don't want to carry around your ear-buds, if you have a pair that you don't use anymore or a damaged pair, you can cut the tip off and carry it around in your case/cover..

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..
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk HD
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.

Is there a stock Android cam apk with Photosphere we can download that works with the Infinity, and does it mess up the ASUS camera?

Machine boots - then screen goes wonky after 60 sec

I have a TF300T I just received and am trying to get this thing going. I have had a number of these devices and can't seem to solve this problem.
To me it sounds like a hardware problem.
I have unlocked the bootloader, installed latest ROM from ASUS and installed TWRP 25.0 as the recovery. Go into TWRP no screen problems works great even if I leave it for a while.
If I let it boot normally - it goes through the normal boot up procedure and arrives at the lock screen. Here is where it gets weird.:silly:
If I unlock (move finger to the right) and go into anything like settings or file manager or any app - or just leave it without doing anything - the screen I was working with goes away and I get a bunch of uniform vertical lines. If you leave the vertical lines long enough - the unit shuts down.
Sounds like a hardware problem. Graphics board or display? Any thoughts welcome.
Cheers

Any chance you can hook it up to a TV/monitor through HDMI to see if you can replicate the problem there? Graphics are embedded in the CPU. But if it's bad, it wouldn't show anything to begin with. This is not heat-sensitive in that it either works or it don't. I'd suspect something else, but there's no way to find out except by the process of elimination.
