I have had my TF700 and dock for several months now with no problems but the other day I undocked my tablet which a page on Chrome was loading and found that the screen no longer rotated in any direction. I rebooted and the problem persisted. I have since rebooted many times, sometimes while docked and other times while not, and it still won't rotate. It clearly shows when it's docked and undocked but regardless, it refuses to rotate so I'm stuck in landscape all the time.
Any ideas?
Is rotation turned off?
Look on the notification bar to check.
Haha wow................ I'm an idiot. Yeah that fixed it, must've accidentally hit the button. BUT IN MY DEFENSE I had no clue you could disable it. Haha thanks.

I got my replacement Fuze from AT&T and as soon as I did, I flashed WM6.5 on it. And now I noticed that a few things from landscape view are burned in on my screen, and you can only tell when its closed [portrait view]. The very bottom of the screen, just big enough for the left/right soft touch buttons, flashes constantly. And I can see the X for closing a window and the time burned in from when it was in landscape view.
It did this before and went away and now its back. What do I do to fix it? Get it replaced again?
im not sure what actually causes that but i dont think its real screen burn in. ive had it happen and go away. its something weird with tf3d maybe?
Sometimes I have seen 'Action' and 'Camera' burnt in at the bottom in portrait view, but it's not always visible, and don't see it often
Try turning teh screen brightness way down

I have only had this happen once and it was when I had the screen brightness all the way up. I turned the brightness way down and after about 30 minutes the ghost images went away (gradually).
Hope this helps.
Turn the phone off and take the battery out for a couple minutes. Worked for me.
It seems like a software issue to me, because also when I go to landscape view sometimes, the icons are all distorted. Looks like I'll be going back to WM6.1 for a bit, until I can find a stable 6.5.
So i am at home playing with my Xoom fine before going to work. I place it in it's padded bag and get in my car to go to work. No bumps, no bangs, no drops. I get into work and pull it out to play with it some more and the screen is dead, or so it seems. Backlight not coming on. So i think it is dead and force a soft reboot, still can see nothing, i try a few more times, finally i notice if i hold it in just the right light i can see the screen fine, it was rebooting, but the backlight wasn't showing.
I let it finish booting and if i hold the screen in just he right light i can see the live wallpaper moving, so i know the screen is on and working, i can click icons and everything, but the backlight still won't light up. Had to stumble my way to brightness in settings, really hard to do when you can barely make out the screen. Set it to auto, nothing, set it to fully bright, stil nothing.
Is this a hardware issue? Or could i have some random software glitch? I rebooted three times now, hoping it would change. Nope. Stock software, no root, nothing. Had it for almost a month now. This sucks.
For some reason the TF touch screen is completly unreponsive after some wakes from sleep. not always though. thankfully the keyboard works fine so after a reboot all is well.. anyone have any idea why?
I've been having the same problem since day #2. The screen does not respond but the if you rotate it the orientation will change. What I was doing was turning it off by holding power button and after rebooting it would be working. Unfortunately this stopped working. Now, even after a boot it doesn't work.
I'm considering returning the eee pad to best buy and getting my money back.
I saw a thread about this in another forum (But I can't post the link ...sorry). Basically it was attributed to the latest patch and it's seen in people who don't have the keyboard dock so it would not "complete" the update
Hey, i was wondering anyone else was having this issue.
I have the Tf700 with the TF700 dock and everything was working great until recently. All of sudden now some of the top row of keys do not work/dont do anything when i press them. My: wifi switch key,bluetooth key, turn off touchpad key, and the screen brightness keys do not work. All the other keys on the keyboard work. Ive only had this tablet and keyboard for 3 weeks. Ive rooted and unlocked and its been working perfectly fine until this morning i went to turn off my touchpad, since it gets in the way of typing sometimes and it wouldnt turn off when i used to the Touchpad off key. Is there anything that i can do to fix this issue?
Try rebooting your tablet. Happened to me once, too. A reboot fixed it.

i tried that and it didnt work. I finally figured out what was the problem. I accidently turned off com.asus.keyboard process when i was editting my start up programs and disabling certain ones. So once i reenabled it, it worked fine
Thanks for your help though
Hey guys,
Had my transformer for 2weeks now and loving it. However recently (first noticed it 2 days ago) the notification bar has randomly started opening itself. It doesnt happen on a regular schedule -sometimes it will happen 3 or4 times in a couple of minutes, sometimes only once or twice an hour but not less often than that.
It happens even when im not touching the tablet at the time so i dont think the screen accuracy/calibration would be causing it.
I have turned it off and off a number of times to no avail and Ive also tried a factory reset and even with no additional apps installed it still happens.
Finally ive tried it both with and without sd card in and it happens in both situations.
Oh, and the dock connector being attached or unattached doesnt stop it either.
Has anyone heard of this happening before and or have any ideas to solve this problem?
i get this too all the time. i'm not touching the screen and the notification pops up for no reason. sometimes apps open up randomly too, for example i get an email notification and the email app opens. very annoying when plugged into a projector whilst giving a presentation.
somebody must be able to help. I'm not rooted by the way and have no intention too.
Sounds like a hardware problem - the touchscreen registering fake touch events. Check for mechanical stress in the lower right corner.
Update
I probably should have added, like yours mine isn't rooted.
I also turned on the developer options for touch detection, and it's definitely detecting "phantom" touches in the bottom right corner so definitely hardware not software issue.
Unfortunately, yesterday I started having issues with the touch screen being unresponsive in the right third or so of the screen, so I've called Asus this morning and am RMAing the tablet anyway.
I'd suggest you do the same rob if it's still in warranty, in case its a prelude to larger issues like mine was.
interesting thanks both. i was weighing up an rma because my keyboard dock is getting very loose, letting the top of tablet move about an inch without hinge moving. i've turned on show screen taps and already seen one. thanks again.
