Screen Flicker

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.

Try doing a factory reset. If that doesn't work return it for an exchange.

I actually did that last night. Still the same thing. Must be an actual hardware defect. I assume other TF300 users do nit have this issue?

Problem solved! They gave me a full refund!

Random reboots?

So my first Transformer had this weird random reboots, so I exchanged it for a new one. This one was working fine until few days ago and it started to randomly reboot again
I did nothing to my Transformer and it is fully stock and the bootloader is locked. Is this a common problem? Is there any fix to it? Thanks

Try doing a factory reset and see if you get the same problem, if you do you should exchange it again. It is also possible that an app or appsre causing the problem, so after the reset just try for a while without restoring the apps you have downloaded

Ok I'll factory reset. It's been over 14 days so I can't exchange now hopefully that fixed the problem

i had the same issue with reboots
i reset it all and it was sitting there doing nothing then rebooted
so its a app on the tablet its self somewhere causing it
i returned mine to asus as it was over 30 days
so far they replaced the lcd screen cause of light bleed and the mainboard as well
hope it fixes it havnt got it back yet its been 2 weeks so far they say should get it back this week

Tf700 Random Reboots. Anyone else or just me?

Has anyone had issues with random reboots with their TF700 or is it just me. I know the older Transformers had issues but I am experiencing that issue on my Prime Infinity and wondering if it is a software issue and if I should just wait for an update or if I should try returning it.

Try returning it... I only ran stock for a few days but i have never had a random reboot

I was getting them initially. Tried a factory reset and restored all of my apps with only minimal data and still got them.
Then did a factory reset again, started restoring apps one at a time only as needed from Google Play, no Tibu. I did this slowly, installing two or three at a time and then using the system for an hour or more to verify non-flakiness. Did not install an alternate launcher (had been using Apex). Avoided freemium games that do push notifications. No major problems since.
Did find at least one app that may be problematic: Google Voice seems unstable for me. There were couple of others too, IIRC, but that's the one that sticks out in my head because I use it fairly regularly. Did not reinstall a lot of stuff that I never actually used.
The process was painful but highly recommended. As the system becomes heavily loaded it tends have a lot of junk that is running all the time and taking up memory, etc, which is a real issue for ASUS' ICS firmware. This is why games are flaky on the TF and is probably the source of a lot of the seemingly random weirdness that seems to only affect some people but not others, IMHO, because it makes the system too sensitive to what you have installed/running on your box which is different for everyone.
This why a factory reset seems to magically fix everything, too, because all of that cruft gets wiped until you start reinstalling all this junk and firing off all the associated processes (which in turn start background services/process, etc).
I will still occasionally run FMR memory cleaner when the machine is acting laggy or something crashes (usually gmail, lol) and everything clears right up. My two previous TF201s and my other TF700 were ALL like this. I'm convinced it's an ASUS firmware/kernel issue. I'm hopeful JB fixes it but have learned to pay attention to what I put on the thing in the mean time and it is running better than ever.
rooted, btw.

I've had my Infinity for a little over a month and within the last week or so I've had random system crashes. Thought I figured out what app it was and it had stopped crashing but now it started in again late last night.wondering if its a hardware issue. Gut feeling is that I should go exchange it at Best Buy and just play it safe. I am rooted and also wondering if this could possibly be a reason as well.

What I have found is that the Infinity becomes very unstable when memory gets below 200mb. I am using the Cool Tool widget to show available RAM and noticed that it would frequently get below 200mb with general use. I have since set background processes limit to at most 2 and this keeps my RAM about 300mb and above. It limits multi taking a bit, but has been much more stable.

I have the same random reboots... not a good start with the new tf700t

I returned mine for this issue. I had 4/5 freeze and random reboots in a day also after a full wipe. Not a good tablet. I liked only the display because it had a lot of problems.

I had these random reboots at the beginning. Do you have a µSD card inserted in your TF700 (not the dock) ? I did and this was the cause of the reboots.
Once removed, no more reboots.
Hope this could help you.

I have an SD card in the tablet. Hoping today's ota fixes the reboot problem. Also, I've seen it happen twice where after having a series of reboots the tablet has a firmware update. I am wondering if the crashes have anything to do with the tablet calling home to Asus.

Hehehehe... nice to know when the second device also does that! So mostly the problem is software related!
Coz it would be tough for me to exchange it since I'm not in US!

I used to have them but after a limiting background processes to 4 I have had zero reboots. Also games don't crash anymore. There is something seriously messed up with the memory allocation.

So what affect does that setting really have (limiting background processes to 4) - does that just mean that you can only *truly* multi-task 4 apps? I've always wondered exactly what that setting really did...
Thanks.

Yes I think so. 4 is actually that much of apps that this is quite a good compromise between stability and multitasking. And either way this doesn't have "true" multitasking as for example youtube videos stop playing when going to other screen. Which is actually very annoying and thats one of the reasons why this really can't be laptop replacement.

I had my first random reboot since the .30 update, so the issues has not been eliminated.

Man, I would be *livid* if my TF700 had random reboots! Part of the reason I bought the TF700 was because my old TF101 has had random reboot issues with ICS (if I NVFlash Honeycomb it's stable as a rock). I haven't had a single random reboot with my TF700 though - and believe me, I watch for it (mainly via uptime widget)...
Have you guys always had random reboots since you purchased it??
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2

So if we're thinking memory allocation is the issue here, I wonder if the V6 Supercharge would help out. I use it on my phone and it's incredible. I installed half of it on my tf700 earlier today, but I have to wait till I'm at a real computer before I apply the rest of the changes.
As a disclaimer, I've not had these random reboots, neither before nor after the OTA, though sometimes games will refuse to load with that whole nvidia issue. Haven't seen that for a little bit though either.

Incredibly annoying touchscreen problem

Right, could anyone tell me the problem here? My touchscreen has become crap recently. It's really frustrating now, so much so that i find myself punching the screen! (not too hard though, lol).Usually i'm docked, but even then i use the touchscreen and sometimes it doesn't respond to any input. At other times, it recognises some random input not by me. Like whilst i'm in the browser, i can scroll down properly at times because it starts zooming in or something. It didn't happen a lot initially. but i'm noticing it a lot recently. I asked ASUS and they just told me to factory reset but backup my data. When i asked how, they sent me the entire manual. Could it be a hardware problem? If so, would it be better to get it replaced from where it was bought or to just send it to ASUS?
THANKS for any responses.

I have the same problem. I haven't found any fix yet, the only work around I've found is to turn off the screen. After I turn it on again the problem is gone. I'll try and use a touchscreen tester app when the screen goes crazy again. The random touches seems to be concentrated on the upper right corner of the screen. I doubt that it's hardware problem though.

Yeah, that worked for me sometimes but other times it didn't. Trying a factory reset now.

A factory reset seems to have fixed it for me. Tablet also seems smoother. Chrome is still a bit crap though. I backed up my apps using ASUS app backup.
EDIT: rebooted my tablet afterwards whilst docked and somehow my old wallpaper came back. However, the tablets gone back to performing wose now...

Off topic, but does anyone know how to get my email to check it's inbox automatically without me having to open the app each time? I mean the Asus stock email app. Last I checked, i always have to start the app after which it checks the inbox. I'd rather it be done in the background so i get live updates. Thanks for any help
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app

I has similar issues with my first TF300. I exchanged it for a new one and had no problems. I would probably just exchange the one you've got. My second TF300 had sound issues, and I held on to it past the exchange period and had to send it in to ASUS for repair. They had it for over a month. Should have just exchanged that one also.

Above question and it seems that the touchscreen problem is back. Really don't understand. It can't be a hardware issue if it goes after a factory reset surely?

I flashed CM10, and the issues seems to be gone.

I don't want to be flashing ROM's yet. I think the problem only occur when i'm docked which is strange although i may be mistaken

Anyone else experience slowness/ANRs with latest Gmail app?

It seems to take forever to startup at times and then just locks my TF700 for a few seconds before I get the good 'ol Application Not Responding message. Just curious if anyone else has noticed this (started when I upgraded to latest Gmail app a few days ago).
Thanks.

Yes I have. They shouldn't have gotten rid of Andy Rubin...all of the google apps have been getting worse since that other guy took them over. Functionality >> looks ffs

Mine literally just crashes. "Gmail has stopped working" and goes back to homescreen.
Google Play has been doing the same thing for about a week.

Wow. Luckily, mine has been fine till now... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

got same issue after upgrading CROMI to 3.4.6. Once I wipe dalvik and clear cache partition, all goes back normal, except with "Unfortunately GMAIL has stopped" at initial boot up only.. Perhaps will work with yours too.

Time for a wipe and reinstall?

Merely uninstalling the updates fixes it, and re-updating it causes it to crash again. So obviously it's not the tab itself...

Strangely, my Gmail problems just kinda went away... I still have the update installed and it's been running just fine. Not sure what changed.

I think I know what happened... CleanROM must have "cleaned" up the bugs in the Gmail app! That's how good CleanROM is, it automatically fixes any issue with any app - it's amazing! The longer it runs, the more stable it gets...
