I have flashed 2 different Rome and have the same iissue with the screen in portrait mode. The p,l,m,and delete become unresponsive. Could the new mr4 radio be causing that or something else. Should I try to unroot and try to get a replacement?

do you have a screen protector?
Yes. I just started to notice it the past couple weeks. Had the phone with a protecter on it since launch.

Try taking it off and putting a new one on.. I've noticed the same issues and a change of screen protector fixed it. Let me know how it goes!
When you flashed the two different roms did you wipe the system partition too? I've been noticing some people having weird issues when they flash roms.

Removed protecter still have the issue.
I factory reset/wipe data 2 or 3 times, format system 2 or 3 times, and wipe delvik 2 or 3times.

Man that sucks. Sounds like you nay need a new digitizer.

It seems that that area of the screen works fine when in landscape mode...is there an easy way to unroot to try and replace it? Read of one from the market but it bricked the one persons phone.

You can repair the screen without unrooting the phone. Its a pretty easy fix. You just have to be very careful. There are some great repair guides on the internet.

Ok so I bought transformer pad 300 from bestbuy like 2 days ago, and it was keep rebooting like every 24 hours or something like that! I thought that it was because I updated the firmware and didn't factory reset it. So I decided to factory reset it. But before I did that, I went to asus backup app to backup all my stuff. While it was backing it, my tablet decided to reboot itself! When it got rebooted, there was a screen saying how encryption failed and how I now need to reset it. After I reset it, it rebooted again and showed that screen again! 3rd time, while it was working, I went to settings and then manually reset it. Then it magically made me use the tablet! But now, some actions doesn't work whatsoever and is acting very weirdly! Can someone plz help me?

You guys are right. I'm just gonna return it...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
Yup, if you haven't already done so, return it. I had the exact same issues with my first one. Except it was rebooting almost every 20 minutes.
Exchanged at Best Buy, and got a good one now. Nice tablet.
Although the charger seems to get extremely hot when charging...

So, I just bought the tablet today, and I really like it, minus a rather strange issue.
I read about the firmware update to .29 that would resolve the screen flickering issue, but when running the firmware update out of the box I am now on .30, and the screen still flickers.
I have played around with settings and such, but I haven't found a way to get rid of the flickering, even on the latest firmware. Is there a way to resolve this? Perhaps flashing the .29 firmware when in recovery, and if so how do I do that?
And it is not just specifically the "flicker from the left side of the left side of the screen" issue. It seems to happen all over the place, it is really noticeable in the app drawer, all the icons flicker like the image is unstable.

Hi, I just got mine as well. I had some weird flickering issues which I managed to get rid of by turning off the auto-brightness setting. HTH.
No that didn't help...in fact that seemed to make it worse. I am starting to wonder if its a hardware defect. I do have two weeks to exchange it.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Try doing a factory reset. If that doesn't work return it for an exchange.

Problem solved! They gave me a full refund!
I have had no issues with my phone so far, but just recently I noticed if I have vibrate on Max it will buzz. Used to not do this and I have re flashed my rom and it still buzzes. I have taken off the back cover as well as the case to see if the vibration is coming from either of those which it does not seem to matter if it is on or off. If I turn the vibration down 1 notch, it obviously vibrates less and it does not buzz. If anything I think that it would be covered under the Samsung warranty, as is hardware failure if I determine that it is not software. Has anybody else had a similar problem? It's kind of annoying that I have to turn down the vibration. The phone is ssolid otherwise. Has anybody had experience with Samsung customer service and how willing are they to fix something like this if at all?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 2
Why go thru samsung? Call verizon and tell em its making a really bad vibration noise and they will next day air you a replacement. Or just tell em its randomly rebooting and you have done a factory reset already
Really? I don't have insurance. Does that matter? My phone is great as it is. How are vzw's referbs?
The first year you have a manufacturer warranty that verizon handles for you

I wouldn't say they're great. Got my gnex replaced with an s3 and this thing has a faulty backlight. Gotta try to wake it up like 50 times before it kicks on. I might just be unlucky with phones though lol.

I'm not sure I want to trade my mint condition, no scratches, never been dropped s3 for a beat up refurb lol
If I send in for a refurb, can I still unlock the BL?
Yup, they should still come with 4.0.4 out of the box. If not, you can just odin back to 4.0.4 and unlock and all that. About to get my replacement any minute.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Odin to 4.04 on the phone I A returning is enough? I don't need tto relock the bl or anything?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
I believe when you odin back to 4.0.4 it locks the bootloader as well.

The refurbs are visually okay so it wouldnt be dinged/scratched. The internals who knows what they do to "refurbish" them. My last refurb only has 1 issue, the back cover wont click in all the way on the corner so its not flush. Kind of annoying but I knew I would get use to it. If your refurb phone has a scratch or ding just call em up and have em send another, which they will.
Also if you replace your phone I would odin back to the G7 build and then take a ota. That way you wont have that stupid custom icon on boot. Also make sure you havent tripped ur flash counter, you can see that in download mode. If it is then search triangle away on the fourms (its free for xda members) and run it to reset the counter THEN odin to a stock image.
What do you mean I'll see it at the bootloade r? I didn't see anything there that indicated it had been tampered with

Hello everyone, I have tf300 with 4.2.1 rooted and busybox installed
It had been amazing but just today, I got a random reboot when I was watching videos with YouTube app.
This isn't a thread where someone goes "baaaaaaaaaaaa somethings wrong!!! Someone help" but I just want to know whether or not it's a problem with my tablet (maybe a bad flash or something) or it is an actual firmware problem.
Thanks!

Yours seems to be worse than mine. I've been running my tablet on 4.2.1 for quite a time now but this is the first time... Maybe it is the bad flash. Used to happen on ICS on my first TF300 (Exchanged it). I guess I'll wait another day or so and see if the problem persists or it's one time thing.

Yea seems to be get it quite often not sure why. Was on all stock when updated got it ota then unlocked the bootloader so not sure why was thinking of sending it back to newegg for and exchange but they're slow as all hell put in for an rma earlier this week like monday they're supposed to send me the shipping label haven't gotten it yet. Was printed already its only good for 7 days by the time it gets here will be no good. Figures. Would rather find a way to fix it maybe ill try a reflash like you mentioned.
Also didn't mention bought it as refurb which may have been the original issue prior to them reselling it. Who knows.

Your not the only one gonna try to reinstall the update when its a good time to go through the whole process of setting it back up. Was gonna root it any way so no point to get an exchange if can be fixed. If send it to asus theres a chance they can repair it and lose unlock bootloader and not be able to regain it happened to a couple people on here. When i try it will repost if anything changes.

You to thanks wouldn't have thought of trying until talked to you. Pretty sure fixed it usually rebooted at least once if not twice a day. None yet today. Can actually enjoy using it now. Ota really screwed it up glad don't have to send it back to newegg. Although didn't sound like yours had as bad of issue should probably fix it. Good luck.
Trust me I've been testing it now that i got the shipping label need to know by monday if really need to send it back which would suck it's my only pc right now.

I got a random reboot today whilst going through the painful experience of browsing with this tablet. It took about 5 minutes or more to start up again and when it did, the system UI kept crashing which made the tablet hard to use as the message kept popping up. Thereafter, when i tried to reboot using the power settings, it froze. Very frustrating. I was able to sort it by holding the power button to turn it off and then turning it back on. It seems to work fine for now but it's something that shouldn't be happening. I'm stock and unrooted

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
Hm... seems like many people are experiencing this? Maybe it is a problem with the firmware itself?

Mine keeps rebooting everyday now and I can't unlock the bootloader because of some "Unknown Error", I'm seriously considering giving RMA a shot then try to sell it if it doesn'tfix the issue...

This was driving me crazy until i realized that every time it rebooted automatic updates were running. Not sure how this happened, maybe corruption caused by play updates running when android updated. Uninstalling the 4 perpetually updating apps and reinstalling seems to have corrected the problem (or it's a lucky coincidence).
I was also having wireless dropouts, not sure how that would be related to updates but seems to have stopped now, possibly the updating process was spinning or using some other resource. I definitely recommend disabling auto updates and seeing if that helps.

I don't think that's causing problems for me as I already disabled it. But for few days, I have not been experiencing random reboot which is good but I don't know why.
