When my infinity is running at random the quick settings pop up, and is really annoying. Is this happening to anyone else? If yes, is there a fix?

No it's not normal.
Either you have a defective touch screen or keep touching the bottom right of the screen without realising it?

Are you referring to the notification drawer (the pop-up window with the date, time, connection, toggles, etc.)?
Have you checked your screen for dust enclosed under the glass, or other cruft/fatty smears? Very minor chance, but on other devices, it caused touch registration. I'd look for it primarily in the lower right section of the screen.
No dust? Tough cookie. On which ROM are you? If stock, factory reset would be my next option (if I'd get annoyed enough), and then check if it happens with a nearly 'naked' install. If custom, I'd go stock. If it happened again (multiple times), you might have a hardware issue.
Do you have the dock attached? Which launcher do you have? Do you have an swipe gesture associated somewhere with opening the notification drawer?
Stock ROM, but rooted.
Not unlocked
Yes dock is connected
Yes I'm referring to the toggles, date, time, power selection..
Stock launcher by Asus.
No swipe gestures applied.
I will try and clean screen tonight, I will also see if issue persist when I disconnect from dock. The dock is the tf201 one.

Mhhhhhh... This doesn't bode too well. Give the screen a good wipe, and I hope you get lucky and the issue goes away all by itself. You might try and reinstall the stock ROM by the file method provided in the stickies (can be done with a locked bootloader). If that doesn't help, well... I can't think of anything else at the moment. I then wouldn't take the risk, so I'd return it. Sadly. Sadly, but surely.
I'm actually having the opposite problem as you, sometimes I can't open that notification area. I know when it's going to happen because where it normally says External Storage Inserted it's blank there, and I can't click it.
So I tested last night. Cleaned smudges and such. Seems as though the keyboard is the culprit. Hinges are loose. And now it puts pressure on lower right screen bottom. Thanks for everyone's help.

So, I've been having issues with my TF101 for a while now. At first I thought it was ROM related, but I've seen this issue across a couple different ROMs, including the stock ICS update. The issue is that frequently, the launcher will crash and restart when swiping off the main homescreen. Other times, the UI overlay will crash. That is to say, the icons and everything will vanish, but the background will still be there. Sometimes a widget might be frozen on the screen (it's visible regardless of swiping, and you can't interact with it). I can still swipe, the background is still visible scrolling, and if you know where something should be, you can even tap it and it will open. Has anyone else experienced this? I've noticed the issue in the stock ICS launcher, Apex, or Trebuchet. When it happens, I either have to restart or at least re-apply the system them. Even the lock screen UI vanishes.
FWIW, my TF101 is a B60 unit, rooted, running RaymanFX's CM10 (4.1.2) ROM, and TWRP.
So no one's seen this kind of issue before?
I have a similar problem. Hitting the "home" button (it never disappears) solves the problem, no need for other apps or reboot or anything. I just plain hit the home button and everything reappears.

Sometimes, my UI vanishes, but if I wait about 10 seconds or so, it comes back. I guess the launcher crashes, but is automatically restarted by the kernel. I use the K.A.T kernel, maybe that is better with the re-launch when it crashes?
All,
Every once in a while, my notification/settings area in the bottom right corner goes awry. Instead of showing all the standard indicators and being pressable, it just shows the clock and battery icon, and is not clickable/pressable. Only way for me to toggle bluetooth, wifi, etc is through the actual settings icon. A reboot/restart fixes it.
Is there a way to fix this when it occurs, without having to reboot? Like a way to just relaunch the notifications/settings area? How do I go about figuring out which app(s), process is causing this?
Thanks so much,
jt

You can try to restart your launcher because a launcher manages and deals with a user interface. You can give it a shot to see if it works out for you next time...

Thanks. I should have mentioned the most recent time it happened, last night, I tried relaunching Apex, and no change at all. So ended up rebooting.

It really depends on how much trouble you are willing to go through to fix this problem....
I can think of several ways to approach it:
If it happens at random without you knowing a combination of factors to reproduce it, it's kinda hard to capture a logcat. But a logcat may tell you what is causing it. I'm not very good at interpreting a logcat either, but you could post it here and some more knowledgeable person may be able to help you.
If you remember what apps you installed since it started to happen, uninstall all those apps, test, reinstall one or two, test again etc.
The horse cure would be to do a factory reset and start fresh. Since I have never heard of anyone with this problem before, the likelihood that it is due to something unique to your setup, is very high.
If even that does not work, I would re-flash the firmware.

Using the stock launcher, this problem/feature just started popping up recently. I couldn't find any discussion on if this was part of the newer Google Search / GEL updates.
On the homescreen indicator that separates the dock, I now have a plus sign on the far right, which makes the regular indicating dots off center. Swiping left is Google Now like always, but now swiping right after the rightmost homescreen leads to a blank homescreen (screenshots attached). It used to just be that trying to swipe right on the rightmost homescreen would do nothing. How do I go back to this original function?
I'm using Cataclysm Rom [Nov 15] and franco.Kernel r14. I've searched through those threads for more information about this blank homescreen, but no luck. I've also dug through the Cataclysm Settings to see if I've ticked any options, but I can't find anything. I don't have the franco.Kernel app so I don't know if this might be a kernel setting, but again, I couldn't find anything in the franco.Kernel thread.
Thanks for any help!
Move an icon over there and move it back. That fixed it when mine did it.

Thanks, that temporarily got rid of it, but after a reboot, the plus sign and the blank homescreen came back.
Maybe it's just part of GEL now? Haven't found any discussions about it though :/
I too have this, it drives me absolutely nuts! It shows up after reboots and random times! No fix besides putting app there and deleting
It has happened to me twice so far. Can't figure out what it is.

Only had the problem once and this solved it.
Having the same issue, appears randomly and I have to either restart the phone or use the app move/unmove trick to get rid of it.
I haven't found a correlation to any thing in particular or any app but I'd like to know what's causing this..
I have experienced this as well. I just reboot the phone and it goes away. Pretty minor bug but yea i imagine it will get fixed in the next update.
Its been my second month with my gnote pro 12.2 and im starting to have problems. First there will be some random press on my screen, ramdom apps will just pop up even tho im not touching its icon. Letter "N" on screen keyboard sometimes doesn't work, when im typing very fast it'll skip the letter "N". When im sliding it side to side it'll bring up the whole slide page even tho im just using one finger. The slide effect won't go through, i have to slide the whole page from left to right or vice versa. The worst thing that i experience is its like its acting that something is tapping on the screen very fast you will see the icon up and down really fast and you really cant do anything to stop it but to wait until it hangs up. cant shut it down, back and task button doesn't work. Home button works but can't shut it down, itll just reboot it self.. It's driving me nuts coz basically i left my laptop at home so i have to work from my note and right now im working on a site.
My device is on full stock, i haven't done any tweaks on it. And im using the wifi version SM-P900. I recorded a video of my gnote pro 12.2 using my g3 and pardon me for the quality since i have to convert it coz the file is so huge. It is a long boring 8 mins video showing my device is acting weird.
TURN OFF THE VOLUME (i can't find android video converter that removes the sound).
0:44 - you can see that it change the highlited email even tho im not pressing anything.
1:02 - its brings up the whole page screen. Im just using 1 finger to slide.
1:20 - menu button doesnt work. It hangs a bit and pops up a balloon.
1:35 - this is where it started doing crazy stuff.

Auto brightness on the camera of your phone made it hard to tell since the rest of the scene was too dark so answer these few questions: Do you have a case on it? Does that case turn on/off the screen when opened? If you do have a case have you tried reproducing the results with the tablet removed from it?
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
Seems like it was protesting to having todisplay the image of the Apple building...
In all seriousness though, could you turn on 'Show Touches' under Developers options? (Tap build number 7 times under About Device if you can't find Dev options.) It may have phantom touches.
And try the above suggested solution of detaching the case if you're using one.

Thank you very much for the respo se. No i don't have the case for my note im using slid on pouch for 12" notebook to keep it safe i stead. I never accide taly drop it either. Im also having random error message like "can't arrange alphabetically" sometimes "internal server error". I also got very few apps installed si ce im usi g this device as my laptop, i needed every storage space of this device, what im using most is hancom apps and autocad also chrome, default email apps a d sometimes skype.
Im not gonna edit this message so you can actually see how letter "n" misses.
Im using the default screen keyboard of the device. Tho the problem is not present if im using bluetooth keyboard. Im planni g to do a factory reset but the problem is i can't do that till i got home.
I just hope that this is more on software issue than hardware issue. Also, it happen often but randomly so i can't figure out what apps causing it.

Yup, sure ill turn it on and observe, thanks for the idea.
That rules out the case issue. These tablets are sensitive to magnetic fields and will act up in the presence of magnets, that's why i mentioned it earlier. I was careful in how I asked because some will be in denial about whether or not their case has any magnets hidden within the case.
If your tablet is indeed showing phantom touches the next logical step would be to factory reset and observe the tablet for a while afterwards. You'd have to reinstall all of your software though so make sure to back up all of your files first. If you do go this route I'd suggest refraining from logging into your google account when you set up the device from a reset OR if you do log in, don't opt into auto backup/restore of the device. This will keep the device from installing previously purchased software making it easier to monitor it BONE STOCK to rule out the chance of your issues being software related. If you can do this and the tablet has issues bone stock then it could be a hardware issue with the digitizer . .

The only problem right now is i can't do that till next week. Or ill start to upload my files with dropbox and ill just borrow a laptop. My main suspect actually is google chrome, this month i think i receive 4 updates with chrome and since then i started having this issues. I really hope that this is just software issue, sammy cust service here in ph is absolutely ridiculous.
Thank you for giving me ideas

If you suspect it's chrome, go to settings > application manager > all > chrome > erase data and cache, and then uninstall or disable it. (depending on the available options).
As for the keyboard, can you give swiftkey a try, see if that has the same issues?

Yes i think that's the culprit. Im in the middle of backing up my files now coz i decided to go for a factory reset. Ill observe how my device will behave on full stock without users apps installed.
As for the keyboard, yes ill install swiftkey.. somehow it makes me ask myself, why the hell am i still using the default keyboard?
Anyway, thank you for all the inputs, ill give it all a shot.
After going back on full stock, no apps being installed, and testing for 2 days, sad to say but the problem still exist. Il give it another try and will flash stock rom, this will be my last resort and if things still not fixed, maybe its time for this beast to have its repair and vacation.
I received OTA yesterday and so far found one bug. There is a black screen comes up randomly. Top and bottom bars are visible but I can't do anything to get out of it. The only thing that works is restart. I can't pinpoint the app that might be causing it. It happened while updating apps or using Firefox. Anybody else having this issue?

Did you wipe your cash after updating? I had experienced several bags after the OTA update too, but i cleaned cash from the recovery mode and now everything works just fine.
Did wiped cache from recovery mode yesterday and it was OK. Today the black screen issue is back. It's quite annoying having to restart.

Hi there, I am currently having the same bug on my Nexus 4 device.
It appears the same way, with the Softbuttons visibile and the top bar still able to be pulled down. Plus that there is no option if I restart to get my SIM card recognized. Pretty annoying when you have an encrypted nexus device and have to wait 2 minutes to restart with a 40% chance of NOT getting the black screen again.
My assumption is that it has something to do with the kernel. Any suggestions/confirmations?
Best regards

Same problem here... black screen with only softbuttons visible and notification bar working.
I think the problem occurs when an application is in full screen mode (no softbuttons visible) and you do a little swipe to make the softbuttons appear... It must be something with the way the softbuttons overlap the screen, I think.
Any help?
I am also seeing this problem on my Nexus 5 which I flashed the factory image with full wipe. I have had it when exiting apps and also when an app is open it can just happen. If i swipe up from the bottom sometime I get a flash of the screen during the animation so it is as if a layer is over the screen. I hope this is fixed as it is random, this morning it happened and after a reboot i logged in and it happened before I opened an app, reboot, then happened again a few mins later, but after a 3rd reboot has been ok???
For everyone that is experiencing this problem... do you have Tasker installed?
I disabled tasker and since then I don't have this problem... so far.
Still happening once in awhile and I do have Tasker.

It happens to me. My current theory is that, in my case, it may have to do with a profile manager I use which turns the lock screen pattern lock on and off depending on where I am.

I also find tasker very useful.. but I think it was causing the problem. No more black screens since then.
To try to narrow it down even further... do you have a profile to enable/disable the lockscreen in certain situations?

I do use tasker to disable the lock screen, I wish that the smart lock would completley disable the lock screen, and not just the secure section. I will take all the lock screen options out of my tasks and reboot, will test for a few days.
I tested over the weekend and had no black screens with all tasker/secure settings lock screen disables turned off, I left all other actions on , so I think you are correct. actualy got on OK using the smart unlock, although when in my house sometimes GPS is lost so it will relock, but not a real issue. Thanks for the heads up
