Bluetooth controllers broken in 4.2.1 - anyway to fix? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bluetooth controllers broken in 4.2.1 - anyway to fix?
I just recently bought and icade with hopes of using it with MAME4droid and having my own arcade cabinet.
Several people have done this successfully with the TF300, but apparently the OTA 4.2.1 update broke bluetooth, or at least bluetooth controllers (like my icade), because I cannot get it to bluetooth pair.

So far I've read two things, a permission error, and a Bluetooth stack issue. It wouldn't surprise me if it's either one. There is a thread about it somewhere. I'm sure if you searched it you could find it easily.

I did search on this, and the info is unlcear. Some said 4.2.2 fixed bluetooth issues, some say still broken. Some said to fix permissions, but I don't know how to do that (newbie to rooting, etc.). Also, not sure that fixing permissions will fix bluetooth controllers?
I also saw conflicting info on root, or maybe I just got confused. Because it sounded like if you are on 4.2.1, you can not install a rom? did they mean a 4.2.1 rom, or any rom? I would be happy with 4.1 as long as bluetooth worked again. I posted questions in a couple threads, asking for clarification, or instructions. Still no one has responded with answers that can clear this up, so I am not sure what to try yet?
I guess very few people have 4.2.1 and use bluetooth controllers (or keyboards)? I know not many use an icade like me, but many people had the icade working on the TF300 in 4.0 and 4.1.
I just want to fix bluetooth or root back to a version that bluetooth worked (4.1?)

You searched too deeply. There is a thread in the TF300 forum about an issue with a single file having incorrect permissions. And they claimed restoring the permissions to the proper value fixed bluetooth for the 4.2.1 update. If i had the thread i would link it for you but if i can find it you can find it too.

Still having issues, I downloaded the ASUS 4.2.1, put it on SD card, but no update notification pops up? - probably because I am already on 4.2.1, is there a way to force it to update or reinstall 4.2.1?
Also, people mentioned reflashing it? can someone explain this? provide steps, and what other tools do I need? fastboot?, do I have to be rooted? or have an unlocked bootloader?
Please help me - I just want my bluetooth to work - who knows when Android will fix it......

You will have to unlock your device. And install recovery and then root. It's not hard so long as you pay attention to the directions in the general section

[Q] USB only recognised after reboot - help?

Hello Everyone,
Being the proud owner of a transformer (B80, only downside to it really) I love its usb functionality. One recent problem however, it only sees (as in elicits any response) if I reboot with the usb inside, or plug it in short after reboot.
It worked before, and I already tried a full reset (still recovering all my non market apps and docs). Is there anyway to update/repair drivers that might fix it? Maybe reinstall honeycomb all together (if thats even possible)?
I tried searching for a solution, but both google and xda turned up nothing (though that might be due to my searching, 'usb not working' contains so many generic terms...).
Any help would be sosososososo massively appreciated, I really like using usb's and am not fond of reboots.
Thanks in advance,
Mentor
What do you plug in into the USB?
its already known problem
Its began after 3.2.1 HC patch, if you can install 3.2 HC rom, it will work again, otherwise its required full restart.... or couple of restarts......asus is aware to that problem....
Aah, that settles that then... Any idea about when a fixing patch comes out?
@Dave a regular usb (different types).
Thank you both for your responses
The newest firmware update that started rolling out yesterday fixes this problem.
I have same problem
what update! when will it come to uk.

[Q] Cyanogenmod wifi

I just want to first thank everyone who worked on getting cyanogenmod to work on the jellybean boot loader. There is a problem that i am seeing though through the threads that wifi seems to not turn on. Unfortunately i have the same problem, i have had it for both the modified version on the 30th and still have it on the official version out the 31st. Has anyone else had this problem or even any vague idea as to the problem causing?
Wish I was posting with help I just wanted to cosign that I've also been going through the same thing from yesterday's unofficial to today's rom with turning the wifi on and having the tablet freeze. Hoping it can be worked out looking forward to using cm10 as soon as possible
I can confirm that i am still having the same wifi issues with the 11-01 official version.
I also had wifi issues initially, disable the wifi sleep policy and reboot, it would work afterwards.

for what it's worth I tried this but after the reboot I still ended up with the same problem, I think I'll just stick with cleanrom for now it's been running more than well enough
I updated to 11-2 and still no fix but I think I have come across something. I don't know if it just me but for some reason the wifi region in advanced is set to Europe. I try to switch it to US but never seems to save it. Am I the only one?

I don't have the issue. I have done this twice for each rom stock, cleanrom, jb hydro and I have wifi and gps. I'm using Twrp.
wipe cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset, System ( you must flash a rom now ) so be absolutely sure you have one available.
flash cm10
reboot
boot recovery
flash gapps
reboot
This didn't fail in a total of six tries. GPS is slow and not many sats but it does work.
Once I was stuck on bootanimation. I forced power down by holding power till screen went black. Power up and booted properly.
I miss spoke on the above when I listed gps - checking my notes and reflashing, gps does not work on nightly for me; it does work on the other cm10 jb for me. Sorry! Wifi does work on both.
DANG!! As of 11/3 version, I still have wifi issues. I have flashed back when there was no CM10 and have done exactly above and still cant get no reception. I still think that the region in advanced settings have something to do with it.

I'm sorry to hear that. I had hoped the problem was the difference in the way we handled wiping and flashing. I don't understand why my unit works and yours doesn't. I don't remember anything else I did that may have made a difference but I'll download 11-3 and try again.
I'll report with that status in a bit.:good:
I was on cleanrom, flashed 11-3 as above and have wifi. I wish we knew how to isolate this problem, I'll do some searching and look at some of my logs and dmesg. There must be an answer why some units work and others don't.
When you try to turn wifi on does it turn on and stay turned on or does it refuse to turn on?
I checked my region settings and they were set Europe, I changed to US just for fun but no difference in use. I have read in the US they are restricted to channels 1 - 11 instead of 1 - 14, maybe that is one of the reasons for that option.
I was on cleanrom 2.5 before also. Had no problems with it but wanted to see if CM10 was any better. What happens is that after i flash CM10, when you first start a tablet from scratch, it will search for wifi and say in the middle of the screen "Turning wifi on" and will stay that way. So i eventually have to skip it to go on to the Home screen. When I go back later in settings to wifi, says the same thing and sometimes crashes. When I go back to clean rom or original stock, have no problems.

I can't emulate that on my unit. Have you tried the cm10 by timmytim? If you need cm10 it may be an option. It is built on the cm10 you are trying to use but with some modifications.
I'm also waiting on the nightlies, in my case I'm waiting on gps.:good:

One last shot, it will only take 5 minutes and is easy.
Power off
Remove external sdcard
Remove from dock
Power on
I now updated from twrp 2.2.2 to 2.3.1 and tried BOTH 11/5 AND timmytim versions and still no luck. Do you think i need to try clockworkmod? I don't think that would make a difference.

No, I'm afraid not.
The last thing I can think of that could be different between our situations is your wifi.
I must begin by telling you my wifi router is an antique so I don't have some of the newer features.
This is a fishing trip. Take the little info I provide and try to use it to investigate your situation.
My router provides a table where I can list mac addresses of units I have programmed and only these are allowed access, even if they have the correct password, etc.
Some of the newer units have a button that automatically looks for units and self programs the router security features and any change made since the button was last pressed. If you have such then try to sync your unit again with cm10, otherwise look carefully through your router security options and see if anything stands out that may be different than with stock rom.
I know mac addresses and such are factory programmed but they can be spoofed and on units other than asus do sometimes change with rom.
For instance if I go to google play my TF300 shows as two different unit names.
Asus ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
That is enough difference to possibly cause your router to deny access.
None of this may apply but it is worth a try.
Good Luck!
wifi issues too
I am having same problem. tried 11-06 nightly and wifi will not even turn on. Tried other nightlies, same deal. Can't understand why not happening to all units. If anyone figures it out, let us know. I really want to try CM10! I think this is being discussed on the developers forum on the CM10 for JB thread as well.

11/06 and 11/07 are both broken for me as well. I saw a post by untermensch ( I think ) in the nightly thread where he was pushing some of his work for use in cm10. Maybe in a day or two everyone will have wifi.
I have read you can flash his kernel after setting up cm10 and get wifi. I have not tried that and if a fix comes soon I probably won't.
What I have done is flash his TF300T kernel over CleanRom and it is faster and smoother. I am not over clocking, using balanced mode.
Sorry I don't have any other thoughts at this time.
Good Luck to us all!

I tried the last couple nightlies and still no wifi capability. Tried a rom based on CM10, still a no go. SO, using cleanROM for now, it seems to work very well for me. I wonder why CM10 works for some and not others? Is there a difference in the hardware from unit to unit?
Wifi works again on nightlies 11/09
I still don't have gps.
LUCKY!!!! I read the post and now on 11/9 and still the same problem. I do want to ask a question though to all that do have the problem. Were you on cleanrom before trying CM10? Does this have anything to do with cleankernel?

I know you asked for those that didn't work but.
Just for more info and being fair to cleanrom.

Reboot issue with JB 4.1.2 vzw newest update on Razr HD

Hey so after a few days of the new update running OK I started having random reboots! I noticed on a few other sites people complaining about the same issue of reboots multiple times of the day! Just wanted to let everyone know a possible solution to the issue! I have went through multiple FDR's and did come to the conclusion that the random reboots for my phone were associated with a new update to the chrome browser and were easily fixed by uninstalling new update and telling it not to automatically update so hope this helps anyone who may be having the same issues!!!
Well so much for that after trying everything its back to rebooting again? I love my phone but seriously considering putting it against a wall!!!

Never had that issue with the new update. Try doing a factory reset or try the new fast boot files to start fresh. Not sure why chrome would be an issue.try the chrome beta version but I suspect chrome had nothing to do with the reboot just a bad initial update.

Finally broke down done a fast boot to the new files all is working seems OK anyway know in a day or 2!!!

My Wife's phone is doing the Random Reboot thing since the 4.1.2 update as well. I did a Factory Reset on it and it still does the same thing.
I suspect an application is doing it? Because I put the phone in Safe Mode and it never rebooted while in Safe Mode.
But I have No Idea of how to tell which app is doing it, other than to uninstall a random app after every reboot to find out which one it is.
But I would like to try this fast boot option? I know how to get the phone into fastboot, but which files are you redoing? What exactly are your doing ?
Have the same problem. I have done:
SBF 4.1.2
FDR
WIPE
Even tried running a parallel rom with safestrap (bakatang)
The chrome thing did not work
Keeps freezing. Seems the problem is way worse when having the phone play some music.
I am just about unlocking the thing and SBFing back to 4.1.1 but not really interested into unlocking the bootloader. That would be the last choice for me.
If someone knows of some way to fix this, please help, this used to be a great phone...
No problem here with the sfr rom... used for over 1 month now and no problem and my system is always fast...

I've been running some tests for about a week now since I got my RAZR and the results are interesting... I've had lockups and reboots multiple times a day, most often while doing something involving sound i.e. listening to music or playing a game or video. I've tried stock and custom 4.1.2 ROMs and custom 4.2.2 ROMs and it persists so I'm inclined to say its either bad audio software or faulty audio chips. This is everything I've done:
1. turning off sounds (keeping phone on vibrate/silent) pretty much eliminates the random lockups/reboots I got from receiving multiple texts or calls at once. I noticed if I bombarded the phone and made it ring a lot it gave the same results as listening to music but if its just a text or email or call here and there during regular use it the phone works fine.
2. Listening to music, either streamed or local from phone/SD storage and through headphones or speaker, would cause skips and audio cutting out. After a few minutes of this the phone will lock up completely and reboot itself. Strangely enough it happened only rarely or not at all while streaming music via bluetooth to a stereo.
3. I don't think its anything kernel related or if it is its not causing visible errors or wake locks. My battery seems to be just fine through all this.
4. I have tried multiple music/video players, put my SD card with music in another phone and the music plays fine, stock ROMs with nothing disabled/removed still has the issue, custom ROMs debloated and modified also have the issue. I think I've just about covered every base I can as an end user to track down what's causing it but I'm open to suggestions.
I have a replacement scheduled so I will see if that fixes it, I have seen this problem reported quite a few times all over the interwebz but there are also a lot of people not having the issue either so idk. If there are any Devs or anyone skilled in android-fu that can read logcats I will be more than willing to get those for you. Sorry for the essay everyone lol
tl;dr Like others I have freezes and reboots from what seems to me to be an audio software/hardware problem, either built in or from the 4.1.2 update

I am almost sure is kernel related bc I did not have problems in the 4.1.1 sw.
If someone that has an unlocked bootloader could install 4.1.1 from an sbf and tell if the problems are gone, would be great!

I am not doing that bc I do not use custom roms so dont want to unlock BL. If someone has, this could help much. It is different from using safestrap, because safestrap uses the same kernel, from what I read.

one solution that has worked for me is silencing the phone or putting it on vibrate and I haven't had a freeze or reboot in almost 2 days... the problem seems to me to be related to audio/sound and not listening to music or watching videos along with silencing ringtones has put a stop to it which kind of confirms my suspicions... I will try and flash back when I can but it'll need a day or 2 of field testing to confirm if its a solution

I can confirm that audio stuff just does worse to the phone. However, I have not had your luck when silencing. Keeps rebooting no matter what. Please let us know when you do.

looks like a negative on the SBF, tried to restore 4.1.1 and it failed halfway through the flash, now won't turn on... working on reviving it... I really need to replace this thing as its been nothing but a PITA since I got it

got it revived with Mattlgroff's new 1.2 utility, was able to force it to fastboot mode... the problem seemed to be some kind of partition error, I tried redownloading the sbf files thinking it was a bad file and got the same error so idk what it is since I'm on stock unrooted 4.1.2. My bootloader is already irreversibly unlocked so that won't be a problem lol but I am a n00b to RSD Lite and Moto devices so I'll tinker with it more when I get some free time
edit: I did have a Maxx HD way back at launch for a month or so running stock 4.1.1 and it ran perfectly, so my idea is its kernel/codec/software related. Hopefully a custom ROM (or hell even stock) with Hashcodes Qcom kernel will fix the issue we're having

I talked with vzw service, the assistant said that 2% of the phones were having this issue, wich for this kind of technology is a pretty big number of phones. Suuggested to send it to Motorola but since its rooted its almost sure not to be replaced by them. What is strange is that not everyone is having this issue. I would be almost sure Motorola is going to release a fix for this, but would not count days. Getting kind of frustrated with this phone I used to like so much. Thinking of going the htc route bc this is getting unbearable.
Any news in this? Anyone tried a new ROM that could solve this? Or even a fix?
... or just everyone had another phone lying aroud...

My wife & I both have this phone and still are constantly being rebooted. This is even after the software update. I have been wiped, factory reset, and everything possible, but I've not called for a replacement yet. Normally I havea worse luck with those.
Wife used to love this phone, now she hates it and hates we changed from AT&T to Verizon since we have no backup Verizon phones. At least we could take the sim out and go to the iPhone that's floating around the house when the phone went to pot before. Makes me really hate suggesting that we go back to Moto phones since that's all that I've used on Verizon.
Wonder if big red will get the new HTC One....

If an sbf didn't solve it then it's a hardware problem.you guys are definitely in the minority with this reboot issue.go get a warranty replacement.this phone and moto in general are solid phones.

usb otg problem on jellybean

there is a major bug on jellybean with this tablet where the otg will stop working and you have to reboot to fix the problem, can a app like USB OTG Helper get around this problem?
and please don't reply and say your otg works fine, you are not helping me by saying that, i want a solution & help with this problem, not a "works fine for me, not sure what you are talking about herpy derp" its really annoying and doesn't help my cause, just don't reply if you are going to say that.
so anyways, anyone installed this app on jellybean and have no lockups with the otg? please post on this topic, or if you know any other solutions or apps that can help that would be nice, just that i want to update to jellybean to get the feature to turn of notifications for apps, i get spammed to death by it and its really annoying. if nothing comes from this topic then i will just have to stay on ics till 4.3 or 4.2 comes (if that ever happens that is)

there is a major bug on jellybean with this tablet where the otg will stop working and you have to reboot to fix the problem, can a app like USB OTG Helper get around this problem?
and please don't reply and say your otg works fine, you are not helping me by saying that, i want a solution & help with this problem, not a "works fine for me, not sure what you are talking about herpy derp" its really annoying and doesn't help my cause, just don't reply if you are going to say that.

What is otg
Could you tell us what the model number of the tablet is, root status, and software version?
I am having the same problem. However, the issue is not universal, i.e.: not all notes suffer from this problem. Sofar, it is not even clear to me whether the problem is hardware or software related. E.g.: my Note has Android 4.1.2 installed and USB only works once after a reboot (that is with the official Samsung adapters). I did try my adapters with a different Note, where they worked perfectly, but that tablet was running 4.1.1.
I have not tried OTG Helper, as I do not want to root my tablet (too risky with possible curious little fingers around), but I have just received a return ticket from Amazon Germany for a repair and/or replacement. If the replacement works, while running 4.1.2, I am much more inclined to call this a hardware failure, in which case no helper app can save you. I shall keep the forum informed...

if it was a hardware problem then my otg adaptor wouldn't work on ics would it? it's a software problem on jellybean, hence the reason i created this topic.
i've found solution to the problem and will leave this for anyone who needs it, basically sixaxis app and a dual shock 3 controller and root, you only need to connect the usb otg once and it registers the mac code from the controller with your tablet, after that you can play wirelessly without cables so the otg problem is completely bypassed, i'm happy because i can finally leave ice cream sandwich behind and enjoy jellybean on my tablet finally, i just wish someone told me this ages ago and i wouldn't have been stuck on ice cream sandwich for so long, yay! time to celebrate lol
started a bug report with android. Please help get this fixed
I started a bug report for this with android. Please go and star it for importance so that it gets fixed. If you got it working please go and say what you have/did to have usb otg working with 4.1.2.

[Q] Keyboard dock problems

Hey guys
I pulled my TF300 out of the box, let it run through updating everything it wanted to update then after rebooting the keyboard dock refuses to work. The power is still there, showing up on the battery monitor and charging the tablet, and it's showing up as being connected, plus the USB port is fine, but there's no response from pressing any keyboard buttons or poking the mouse pad. Before the tablet updated to 4.2 (from whatever it came in the box with) it worked fine since I put in my gmail stuff with it, but now nothing.
I've tried reboots and reconnects and everything basic I can think of. Nothing wants to do anything.
There's so many threads about these problems, but no-one seems to actually have an answer for it, other than just poke and hope something works.
Anyone have an idea what I should do?
Hypothisising

This is just a hypothesis, but it's worth the shot.
When you updated the tablet, was the dock connected?
If not, the dock firmware might out dated for your tablets firmware version. I presume that's why on the update notice it advises you to connect your dock; to keep the dock compatible to prevent other users may end up in a situation like yours. Have you tried flashing the latest official rom via fastboot with the Tablet connected? You never know, it might be the solution.
Hope this helped.:laugh:
Live long and prosper.

Weird I never had my dock connected when updating, never had any issues!

So did you have any success? The problem might of been caused by the upgrade of the 4.1 bootloader to the 4.2 one whilst not having your dock attached.
