Hidden firmware menu??? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all.
Sorry if I post something already known but I tried search here and in google and i didnt find anything.
If I go to settings and tap fast multiple times at camera, pad ec or dock version, I came up with a menu called transformer services with option to update pad ec, dock ISP and camera ISP.
What is that? Is it helpful for anything?
Thanks!

Yes can be used for manually flashing firmware for individual components. Not unknown but not often used

To which folder could I write files from firmware to update by this hidden menu?

There may be 2 reasons
1.Your media volume is low(This happened for many so check that out)
2.You may have selected a language other than US in settings->language & Input.Try tinkering with different options.For me,putting it to US english worked

BTW, when said place firmware in root, do u mean the area where other folders are there like the downloads, pictures, movies, ringtones? Or the area where the other folders are like: root, sys, system, etc... Using es file ezplorer file manager, from normal android directly I can hit back and go back one more, where system and other folders are.

User agent on stock browser

I can't seem to find the setting for user agent on the stock browser to set it to desktop mode. I can check always request desktop site in settings, but espn will only bring up the mobile site.
It's there a user agent setting for the stock browser like with Opera and Boat?

Try entering "about:debug" at the URL entry field, then press "Return", then go to settings. You shold then have another option "Debug" in there, where you can define the UAString...
Thanks! Now I remember we had to do that on the Prime at first.

You can do either or:
1. Hold down on the "host" file and a popup, (just like in your screen shot), select "Open as", then select "Text", then select "ES note editor", wait a bit and it should opened.
2. Just tab on the "host" file, select "text", then select "ES note editor", wait a bit and it should opened.
That's all. Just a reminder, this is the second time I hold hold hand through the process...LOL

Lucky no offence but you don't sound experienced enough to be editing system files. Permissions and how and what to edit require a bit more knowledge. Similar to the pm you set me about signature verification. If you carry on it is only a matter of time before you create a non booting or crashing device.
Go to the play store and download hosts editor and use apps like AdAway for controlling what ads you see.
Apologies if that came across as patronising. We all had to learn once but jumping straight in to the deep end when you don't know how to swim could be dangerous.

Trial and error can be a painful experience if you get it wrong. But yes it is one of many different learning methods. Not the safest or most sensible but if you are a risk averse person you can learn the hard way.

[Q] Splashtop ???

Do you have splashtop 2 or splashtop thd/hd? I think there is a new update out for the latter that fixes the signin issues

Because really, you couldn't read the Splashtop Play Store What's New Page?
THD:
"Updated: March 27, 2013
Current Version: 1.1.0.8
What's in this version:
* Fixed Internet Discovery failed to login issue."

Ok but i use splashtop instaled on tablet app My Cloud,where to find update??? I try to log in but nothing is happend
Splashtop Internet Discovery
I have the same problem. I use the MyCloud splashtop app too. When I go into settings and internet discovery, I enter my credentials and click sign in but nothing happens. If I can't get this fixed soon I will have to figure a way to go back to 4.1.
I have the same problem, I think it's a bug in the app (also it's a pretty old version). I ended up buying SlashtopHD, it's optimized for tablets, works great with the keyboard dock and is on sale for $8. Discovery works great, even over 3G.:good:

Small question: Why did you buy the general tablet version, and not the Tegra 3 optimised THD version specifically meant for the TF700?
What is the specialized version for the tf700 under?

Sorry for the length of the post, but here is what ASUS suggests. My inquiry is listed at the bottom.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
My name is Emma and it's my pleasure to help you with your problem.
Firmware update cannot do *SKU conversion* and downgrade version.
If you really need to downgrade the version,you need to issue RMA to accomplish it.
Please fill-out the online form to request a RMA/Purchase order.
Please include your name, mailing address, telephone number, and the serial number of your product.
It seems that the problem is with the update. We have sent all your problems with the new update to BU(related department in TW). They will try their best to have a fix for it in the next fota. Your information has been documented and forwarded to the appropriate contacts for further review and improvement. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Meanwhile, we recommend you to perform a full factory reset. Prior to performing the full factory reset, please back up all personal files because data will be erased during the process. Note that all your applications are tied to your Google account. Please remove the micro SD card if you have one inserted.
To perform a full factory reset please follow the instructions below:
1) Enter Settings menu
2) Select Privacy settings
3) Select Factory data reset
Once the factory reset starts, simply follow in onscreen instructions. When it is complete, the unit will restart.

[Problem Description]
Since the 4.2.1 update. The Splashtop (MyDesktop) under MyCloud has not been
working completely. It works well through local networks, but, under settings and
internet discovery, when I enter my google credentials and click sign in, nothing
happens. It will not attempt to sign in. There are no errors saying my credentials are
invalid. It just sits there. Then when I back out of the menu and come back the
password is missing again. I have the original splashtop app on my phone and
installed it on the tablet and it functions fine through internet discovery although not
nearly as tablet friendly as the stock version through MyCloud.
This feature is a main function for productivity with the tablet and if necessary I would
rather go back to 4.1 to retain this capability.

Doh! I didn't realize there was a THD version. Just bought it and will kick the tires. Here are the results so far.
With my tf700 tethered to my EVO 4G I'm able to internet discover and connect to my work PC.
I'm unable to internet discover my home Mac. Think that might be an issue with my firewall. I'll look into it when I get home this evening.
Update: I think the issue was because my firewall is configured to do port forwarding to my Mac. You have to allow SplashtopTHD to discover the Mac while connected to your local network. Once it's found it the first time on the local network, internet discovery works after that.
So are we out of luck until Asus updates unless we buy Splashtop? Is there another way to locate your computer when you're off your own network? What version of Splashtop is bundled in MyCloud?

Afraid so. The version Asus bundled was customized and renamed it MyDesktop v1.1.0.14. Near as I can tell from Splashtop's support site this was a known bug in v1.1.0.14. :/
FWIW This was the last version that Splashtop released before they updated the app from Splashtop 1 to Splashtop 2. Until Asus uses the Splashtop 2 version remote access outside of your LAN wont be possible.

Actually, it's still possible - just not as easily. All that you need to do is setup Port Forwarding on your router. It's actually pretty simple.
Let me know if anyone is interested in setting this up - I'm sure I can find some good links and help a little...

The splashtop app has updated 3 times in the past week or so and still it doesn't work
Man you guys must either be young and have good eyes or porting the video out HDMI to a big screen TV or external monitor. I tried Splashtop a few times and it worked great but I couldn't see a thing on my desktop screen (high res, lots of icons) and discovered I could zoom and pan (desktop or launched app) the virtual desktop but it felt clumsy and dangerous since I often lost my mouse cursor. In app it felt dangerous like I could easily delete something. Functionally though it was an impressive remote desktop over wifi. Tried it over 3G and the latency was unbarable (and they state it will not work this way but I tried anyway just to check it out - they were right.)
I went out and checked yesterday and got an available update from ASUS that fixed this problem.

Asus tf300t

Hi don't know if I am on the right site but I have a problem with my Asus Transformer Pad TF300T I cant use the A button it just wont work!! so of course I cant send email etc etc Please can anyone help ? thanks Elaine
If you have a working button you don't use, I would try one of the button remapper programs from the play store. The better programs need you to be rooted.
