[Q] Apps "refresh" when docking/undocking - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched the web about this, but found only one other post about it with no replies.
When you guys dock or undock your tablet, while running an app, does the app "refresh" or something like that?
Mine does it all the time, and it's quite annoying, because some of the apps close completely, making me lose all the work i've done. Currently i'm on 4.2.2, but it also happened on the stock firmware.
Any ideas, or i have to live with it?
BTW, it doesn't happen on Ubuntu, so i don't think it's a hardware problem

Which ROM? I do not experience this anymore on Liquidsmooth, but it used to be a horrible cancerous problem for me.
I do not know what might have fixed it, but it was annoying when on a bumpy bus or plane ride.
Generally the app shouldn't lose any progress though, try recent apps to reload from where you were?
Just had a thought too: it might be the default asus keyboard? I had this issue with the asus keyboard but don't remember having it with thumbkeyboard, maybe that fixed it?
Just food for thought.

I'm using the no-name CM10.1.
What do you mean by default asus keyboard? The touch one or the original dock?

I am using the TeamEOS 4 ROM and it does refresh the app when docking/undocking.
I think the only ROM this did NOT happen on was the Megatron ROM. Every other ROM (including Stock, ARHD and Revolver) it does refresh the app, so be sure you have saved your progress before docking/undocking.

Either, and or both. I reflashed to stock recently working on PERI and it started up again, so this or the ROM is it. I'm not sure.

Apps flickering software or hardware issue?

You know when your in an app then go back home and the widgets need to reload them selves its like that but with all my icons they keep disappearing and reappearing until I open an app or lock my phone then unlock again. I noticed it twice so far and the last time I was downloading a bunch of music to my phone so might have something to do with lag even though there shouldn't be any problems with 2 gigs of ram.

Ive noticed this too but on mine they just flicker real quick. I'm sure it has something to do with TW. It is rather annoying, i'd like to know more about this.

That only happened to me when I had the clock +weather widget on my home screen. When I replaced it with just the clock (digital)widget, everything was running smooth.

Im hoping its software issue this is only my 3rd day with the phone and want to figure out if i should return it or wait for an update. Also my keyboard did the same kind of thing but it was just one flash not sure if there related. Little bugs remind me why my last phone was an iphone.. Thats the only thing i miss about ios is there are really aren't any bugs.

I think it is a software issue. My screen flickers when I flashed CNA and BlackBean but does not flicker with AOKP. My guess is that AOKP is more stable and less buggy?
I would suggest going into your developer options and disable HW overlays. This works on AOSP ROMs and it should work on TW ROMs also.

Will do. But quick question, wouldn't the developers of CNA and Black Bean have figured this out prior to the release of their custom rom?

I would have thought so. But then again there roms are probably built from a modified source and compiled. Once compiled they probably flash it to make sure it boots. If confirmed to boot they probably upload the original. In that case it would not have the option enabled. That is my educated guess on the subject. lol
Screen flickering on AOSP based roms is nothing new, been a known issue for a long time. Some things get fixed then break cause of something else was changed.
Flickering
My phone is original. No Root. Screen just started flickering the other day. I have had it since August. I did nothing different to the phone. Verizon claims I damaged the phone in some way. I have not done anything to damage it. If I open the Gallery on the phone, it starts going crazy. Does not always do it. If I use something like Google Earth or Maps and then open the Gallery, I get horizontal lines across the screen flickering up and down randomly. Swiping gets sluggish when all this happens. Almost like the memory fills up. I look in the memory and it is not even using 1GB, but is close to it when all this happens. Not sure what the heck happened to cause this issue to all of sudden start occurring.

My New Tf700.. Noobs questions

Hi xda forum! I'm new, my name is Stefano, italian.
I bought my new Infinity Pad and i have some questions, 'cause it's my first android device.
I noticed that the device isn't so smooth, especially in navigation. I can't understand why! Do i have to do something (factory reset? it's new...).
1- What's the best browser to get?
2- What has to be done to flash a custom rom? i read the guide, but i'm still confused ; in order to flash a rom i have to: become root, unlock bootloader, install recovery, and then how to install the rom? (zeus v4)
3- If I flash the zeus rom, how can i upgrade to jelly bean when the update comes out?
Thank you very much
1) The best browser is mostly depending on what suits the user. I prefer chrome because i use it on all of my devices and computers. Some people prefer the stock ICS and JB browser, others use opera, dolphin or firefox. (those are the top 5 browsers of choice)
2) Before you flash a rom you do need to be rooted, bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery needs to be flashed. flashing a rom isnt the hard part, its making sure you obtain root and unlock the bootloader which is more tricky. although, there are risks and things to be aware of when flashing different rom.
3) if you flash zeus's rom then you wont be able to receive the OTA update. you will have to wait until someone posts a rooted and unlocked version of the OTA.
read up on the forums about rooting and unlocking bootloaders and understand what it does BEFORE you start doing it. you need to understand all the potential risks involved and get familiar with ADB and its basic commands. when you start rooting and unlocking bootloaders you may run into problems and brick your device. with it being your first android device, i suggest you take the time to learn android and what kind of features it offers before you dive into changing system files and flashing roms.

ADB Commands

Thank you very very much!! For the moment, i just disabled some stock application that were annoying. Now i will practice with the system..
Another question: I downloaded and installed the package of flash player but nothing happens. Note that in the stock browser i checked "Activate plug-in" in -Always-.

First of all: all of the above in the answer of Vegandroid is correct.
Some also say Boat browser is the fastest and (overall) best browser yet for the tf700.
Maybe you should reinstall Flash, since the stock browser should always display Flash correctly.
Hope this helps!

I solved the problem downloading from a different source the .apk .. Now all works fine.
A different matter instead is that i noticed some stuttering in scrolling pages (in browser, supernote ecc ecc) it seems like it suffers from bad management of animations .. for example when i scroll a simple pdf file it isn't very smooth.. is that normal?

Glad you got flash working!
I don't see a lot if any stutters with mine.
Try to use task manager to kill off anything running in the back.
Go into settings and try to disable some of the crapplications you can do without too.
These were suggestions from other guys here at XDA they helped me a bit.

The first thing I do with any of my android devices from ICS on is go into Settings/Developer Options and either reduce animation settings to none or at least to .5. This helps to increase smoothness in scrolling.

Already done .. Maybe is just me , i'm not handy with android os and i can't tell how much the lag is.. i also disbled some stock apps.. i feel like some animations aren't smooth at all.
Android 4.0 isn't as smooth as iOS. It gets better with 4.1 but it's hard to tell how much improvement we'll see on the Infinity.
And I would stay away from taskmanagers. Android can handle that on its own most of the time. If an app is misbehaving its enough to kill it in the settings/app section.

yes, i was playing with one yesterday at work. i have 4.1 on my s3 and its sweet and smooth. ios just doesnt have the kind of software issue that android does, gpu rendering is still not fully optimized for android devices. thats no way keeping me from using android, but its not like ios is a completely **** os compared to android.
EDIT: also to the dude who wanted to get flash working.... pointless to do it now because once JB is released adobe isnt supporting it.

DPI change on Jellybean?

I sucessfully installed jellybean but I can't seem to change the lcd density..
I have in my build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density=160 and nothing happens.. I still have it set to the original, 240.
I noticed theres a new options in jellybean's build.prop ro.sf.override_null_lcd_density=1, I commented this out and also set it to 0, but still no go.
Any ideas? I've tried various apps and they all have no effect
uh, I may be wrong, but how is you changing a setting going to have a physical change on the hardware that's in your tablet?

It's NOT a physical change - Changing the LCD DPI Density has been a method used on most versions of Android for years. What rock have YOU been under?
Yep. Same here. Can't find a way to get 160 back to life.
This is pretty much a worst thing Asus could do to us. Or is it JB thing?
Don't know, but i'll try to find a solution to this as i just can't look at 240 density after using 160 for so long.
Oversized icons are really not nice :cyclops:
Hmm this might have something to do with my sensitivity issues too. Before in a certain game I could rapidly tap a button and it would go through. Now on JB it's not registering my rapid taps and I have to tap slower. Looking all over the place for a solution!

I'm on CM 10(JB 4.1.1.) and DPI change works through the build.prop without any problems. I wonder if Asus did something to block this in latest update..
Could it be related to the kernel not supporting it?
I mean, they probably changed kernel, so maybe they didn't include this in the final release.
Why is beyond me and my understanding of their logic.
I hope this is not the case.
hm.. this is hard to get used to 240 again. i hope theres a way around this

It tricks Android into making each pixel smaller. Which means all your icons, text, etc shrink on the screen. This gives you more room on your screen and makes mostly everything look a hell of a lot better. If you do a search for DPI on the general forum, you will find a thread about DPI with screen shots that show you the difference.

Why not just try out a custom Rom? At the Moment Baked BlackBean 4 and unofficial CM10 10/1 versions work very well and give you all kinds of settings and tweaks to work with as well as theme chooser. The only thing that isn't working (well or at all) is GPS and I expect that will be fixed in short order, now that the official TF700 JB update is out.

Don't get me wrong, I used CM9 on my TF101 and use it on my phone, BUT I like a stable ROM with barely any noticable issues as I really do use just about everything on my devices, including the GPS. For now, until the custom roms make a bit more headway, I'm not going to switch.
Any luck?
Bump on this topic, no go on lcd mods in build.prop
REALLY would like to go back to 160...i may downgrade if there is no workaround...
I can also confirm lcd changer apps dont work either, got soft brick with one and the others didnt change anything
Agreed, any news?
Has anyone contacted Asus about it and asked?
Or, has anyone tested DPI changes on other Jelly Bean devices such as the Nexus 7 and seen if it works there (which would indicate Asus intentionally disabled it)?

[Q] Best Running JB ROM Available.

Question of Curiosity, And of course, Preference
Im Considering Changing up roms Eventually, I use my phone quite frequently,
Tubing, Browsing the Web. and Music, Occasionally ill get my self addicted to a game i have an extended battery of course.
I do happen to text more frequently then others
i would like to know what the forum users of XDA Choose as their roms of their picking
I personally am having great expectations of JellyBelly
Hopefully v4 won't disappoint your great expectations
I'm sure jellbelly will meet or exceed expectations. I have been trying all the JB builds in this forum and it is the smoothest running so far. I have had issues with them all locking up sometimes but this one does it the least and is the only one that hasn't forced a battery pull.

I've Used, JellyBelly for a bit it still has the keyboard issue where if you hit the cap button once it will lock into All CAPS For the whole message and you have to toggle it many times to get it to unlock from caps or you just have to Hold the Shift ( Cap ) Button to Cap a letter and let it go.
I've also ran into a few problems . with the FN some Options such as the _ Underscore will not appear in some log in Selection boxes. i have to manually go to my soft touch keyboard and key it in by long pressing the Symbol.
None the less dont get me wrong its a great rom hands down. I would like to see those little kinks worked out.
Sorry man, but that's the way the keyboard is on JB, you gotta hold the shift or fn key down like on the computer.

It has been that way for me on every JB ROM, with random times that it works correctly... IDK. Either way, I will probably not be doing any more work on JB until it is less buggy. It's just a headache when bugs pop up out of nowhere, some of the weird bugs aren't ROM specific either. Sorry guys, but it kinda takes the fun out of it when you are constantly fixing bugs. I may do one more update, but I don't know when that will be. For now I'll let the devs that are more talented than me see if they can work out some kinks, my main objective with JellyBelly was to reduce the lag so JB was more usable.

Keep your eyes peeled for V6 of bilgerryan's JB ROM. Testing is going very nicely! I had similar freeze issues with previous versions, but I think he just about has the kinks worked out.

I tried V6 just now, unfortunately I am not able to post in the thread as my account has less than 10 posts but I have run into a few issues with it thus far. The animations and scrolling are very choppy, this may be related to the "screen flickering" problems listed so i'll have to check the build.prop and make sure everything is as it is supposed to be there. As well, i've ran into a bug where upon backing out of the camera (which I use frequently), all icons and widgets vanish until phone reboot. That's quite a big problem! It's a fast ROM no doubt, and probably the best JB based ROM we have ATM.

I did! Extra carefully making sure to wipe everything as usual - this is my second or third ROM flash and only the first time I've seen something like this. After the phone reboot I tried to force the camera bug again so I could screenshot it for bilgerryan but it hasn't shown back up yet. Will be continuing to test, really loving this room so far I just wish it was as smooth as the one I was using previously (RemICS-UX ReVamped).
I guess it could be a bad dl. You might try down loading again over WiFi or hard line then reflashing.

Install a cache cleaner on Play Store and if it starts getting laggy clear your cache. There are a few of them that are one click and done. Plus you gotta let this ROM settle for a bit.

Will give it a shot after I set aside some time and check the build.prop gpu tweak you mentioned in the topic, even though that may be outdated and no longer needed by v6. I did however have the camera back-out glitch happen again. When leaving the camera, no icons or widgets render. I was able to fix it this time by reopening the camera from the lock screen and backing out, but still very irritating and interesting behavior.

Yeah it should not be needed in v6.. What are your CPU settings? If you haven't overclocked it you might wanna set it at 1.2 or 1.3 GHz. I haven't been able to reproduce the camera thing you are talking about. Chad might be right. Looks like a bad download.

Discussion about official JB update...

Thanks, dude, I couldn't see the other posts, they are so tiny, you are literally my savior
On topic: No, S3 users will probably get it 2-3 weeks later, maybe more.
I saw, that some users reported having a brick with SuperCID, is this true?
Because I don't want to change my CID back and stuff
Busybox
Hi
Just updated via OTA, reinstalled CWM_Recovery and installed superSU 0.99.
Phone is rooted once again but it seems like busybox is unable to install, tried a few different versions and none seem to stick, a few even causes a crash/reboot of the phone.
Have a few programs that are reliant on Busybox to function.
Am i the only one with this problem ?
I think the update is rubbish. If anything its not as smooth as the Ics update, project butter must be a vanilla only experience because there is no way it's buttery smooth

I'm really annoyed about the new keyboard layout which was an utterly unnecessary change. Not to mention that the keyboard is somewhat laggy. Apart from that it's fine and I could live with it if I would get back full root functionality.
By the way, has anyone solved their root issues (SuperSU, Busybox, and a couple other apps and tools not working) yet?

Nope I'm also having the same issues. After reading over the superSU thread it seems like HTC have done something to prevent system changes so it's basically a case of waiting until some devs find a work around
Is there an app to reorder the notifications in the notificationbar? I have 2 apps as trigger and new notifications are in the middle of these apps. I want new notifications at bottom.
Haven't got the update yet, but I'd like to know if they solved the touchbutton issue? And does USB OTG work now without extra cables? The only 2 things I'm missing.
Touch button issue is better so far but cannot say for sure that it is fixed, since now we have the Google now issue but not as frequently as before.
The new issue for me after the update is that the hands-free control is not customisable through apps after update, only single click function works for me, no track skipping or volume control

The worst update I've made on any phone....ever!
I need to downgrade ASAP, however, because I'm a relative noob and I'm unrooted I need some assistance. Any advice will be appreciated.
Just installed and had 10 minutes with it. To me my phone definitely seems a little quicker and more responsive, might just be me being excited about new stuff though! I use Swiftkey so never touch the Sense keyboard, I just gave the new one a quick go and switched back to Swiftkey, I can type on it almost as quick as a real keyboard so it would take something amazing to shift me from it. I like what I see of Google Now so far, we'll see how it pans out though. The camera changes seem good, fairly subtle differences but I think it's quicker too. I like the power saver mode, think that will be a useful one. Switching off data when the screen is off is a great feature.
So far, so good.

Which processor do you have? S3 or S4? And have you played any games on it? Subway Surfer was quite quick and smooth on ICS, with Jellybean it's like a buffering movie on one of them crappy Chinese servers....

I noticed that! Subway surfer was laggy on the JB update. Restored my ICS rom and it's smooth as butter. WTF! And it's bound to be s4 because the s3 doesn't have it yet
I am pretty fond of the new No-Lockscreen option. Something I have missed from the AOSP versions, probably the only reason I will stick with sense on JB.

Not sure, but since data is off while screen off, how come I receive my whatsapp messages, emails n stuff? I am just curious, since I read about power saver a while ago in One X forum, but forgot that and you reminded it to me.
P.s: I have power saver on since the update
