Sometimes my pen isn't recognized by my surface and I have to use the keyboard or the touch screen as the only input devices. After I place the pen in the charging holder for a little while it works fine again.
Does the pen need to be charged, or is mine just acting buggy? Anyone else having similar issues?

the pen doesn't need charging, i think it may be due to faulty digitizer, better go and have it replaced.
you may just need to calibrate it or the tip might be bad try your eraser see if that end works ok
You have to change your OS scaling from 150% (default) to 100% for pen and touch to work in ALL desktop and Metro apps. Otherwise pen and some touch functionality is broken.

How can I calibrate the pen (sorry if it's a silly question).

Hi.
No, there is no such function on the TF700.
The 7" Nexus tablet has it, but not this one.
For the Galaxy Note with a Flip Cover, we can to use the sensor of light and/or sensor of proximity to obtain the same result of Smartcover.
You must install the app Power Switch and it's work.
I think or i hope it's okay with our TF700 ... what do you think about this ?
i actually think thats a really good alternative...gonna look into the lite version when i get home...

I don't need a magnet. All I do is close the case with docked tab and it sleeps. Wakes when I lift the lid.

I tried Power Switch, it didn't work very well for me. I use Awesome On Off Ultimate so I don't have to keep using the power button.

This app is VERY impressive, thanks for the suggestion. My friends' jaws dropped when they saw it in action. Silly iOS users. :laugh:
Need some help
I installed Awesome on off ultimate on my Transformer Infinity, but have some problems. The only way to turn screen off is to press the Screen off icon. No gestures or flings will turn it off. Tilting the Tab turns it on ok.
When I pick ut the Infinity to bring it with me in a bag, the screen turns on by accident, draining the battery
What can I do to turn the screen off with gestures, including those needed to turn off the screen more permanently so that I have to turn it on with the physical on/off button?
Thanks

Incorrect.
There IS a magnet sensor on the tablet to turn the screen off when the dock is close to the screen. The magnet is on the right side of the keyboard dock, sort of beside the touchpad and under the menu key.
Problem is that sensor only gets activated when the dock is connected. Maybe there is a way to trick the tablet to think the dock is connected and enable this sensor. Sure would be handy to have a magnetic screen off switch on sleeves.

Could I ask how do you know this? Is there a way to check the presence and state of such extra sensor. In the kernel source there should be something.
I'll be able to confirm if the dock has a magnetic sensor in a few days. I have a magnetic stylus that I just got a few days ago that should be able to trigger the sensor if it's there.
What I can say already is that there is definitely a magnetic spot in the location described, to the right of the trackpad and below the menu key. My stylus holds on very well there. I had the tablet on the entire time though, so no chance of accidentally seeing any sensor behavior. Would check now, but I'm away from home for a few days and I forgot to bring the stylus with me.

To test it, it's simple. Put a magnet on the screen at the position corresponding, on the dock, to the one described by pileot and you ll see that the screen will switch off.
As pileot said, unfortunately, it only works when tablet is docked.

I have Apex Launcher installed. For my down gesture, I have it set to launch "Lock Screen App" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kennethcheng.com.lockscreen.free&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwia2VubmV0aGNoZW5nLmNvbS5sb2Nrc2NyZWVuLmZyZWUiXQ.. Also, do you have set for the display to go to sleep? I noticed if I carry my tablet in portrait mode, the screen doesn't turn on. Maybe you can give that a try. Hope that helps.
I'm not understanding how to turn the screen off with ultimate on. What icon do I press. I press the one in the notification bar and it takes me to the ultimate on menu. It doesn't shut the screen off.

Just sent grandmaster an email if he can make a setting for us without a proximity sensor. Use with tablets. We should be able to set the tablet down for a couple of seconds and the screen should shut off. Maybe even give us a choice on how many seconds before the screen shuts off. I would like 3 second delay the off.

Several things. First, i have taken the dock apart (to ad pennies into the front of it to make it heavier so it tips over less) and noticed the magnet. Second because if you take a paperclip or other light, metal object and place it about 1 inch to the right of the touchpad and about 1 inch below the keyboard it will stick. Third, when the tablet is DOCKED you can put a magnet at the right spot in the screen and the screen will turn off.
Problem is it only works when docked.
,has anyone tried to use a magnet to sleep the infinty with the transsleeve locked in instead of the dock? Wonder if it just has to have something in the slots for the magnet to work.

Don't know if someone is interested in this, but due to this thread I was able to locate the hall sensor position of my TF701T. Obviously it is the same as of the TF700T. Without anything docked I am able to put the TF701T to wake and sleep with a little magnet.

Not sure if anyone is still following this thread but there is a solution for Eroc162 turning off the screen with a jester. It's called Screen off and lock. If you have the swipe to search button and don't use it this app will use that jester to turn off the screen. If you are like me and have flashed KatKiss KatshMallow 6.0 (Marshmallow based ROM) you can use the onscreen widget . Works great!
Does anyone else suffer from the following, or know whether there is a fix of any sort? When plugged in and charging the touch calibration is way off. I need to press about 5mm or more above the target each time (very frustrating when typing!). When not plugged in, there is no issue at all. Also this issue is not present with the s-Pen.
Known problem that charging effects the touchscreen. Most people seem to find it harder to actually use the touchscreen at all when charging....

I updated to the latest official version and I have this problem even when not charging. Does someone else has this problem?
Calibration out
I recently replaced my digitiser (touch panel) myself. Obviously while testing if everything is working like it should I realised the calibration was out. I first thought the digitiser was a dud. After searching the Web for methods to recalibrate I cam across this thread.
Incredibly the calibration is just out when plugged it. I wonder if this is not by design for when the tablet is docked, as more often than not the angle the you view the tablet is different when docked. I did a small test. When docked and not charging I put on show touches under development settings. I consistently touched higher than I intended to. When I plugged the charger in the tablet seems to compensate for this.
My TF101 is running KatKiss 4.4.4_035. When I plug in the dock (physical keyboard) only the mouse keys and mouse pad work, none of the keys on the keyboard do anything. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the entire keyboard working?
Never mind. I spent more time trying to figure this out, and discovered that it is a hardware issue. The dock keyboard works only when the screen is tilted in the dock at certain angles. Unfortunately for me, those angles are when the screen is more closed than open.

Sounds like a connection issue between tablet and dock, might be worth checking inside each sides port/socket for any obvious problem
Might be something simple that can just be pushed back together
My keyboard has a similar problem. Altought in my case only some keys don't respond correctly. I think this might be a kernel problem.
Has an had any issues with screen calibration? Sometimes when I click on the screen it presses to the left of it. When I'm in the recents screen for my apps, it sometimes swipes away instead of selecting it, and I'm unable to consistently unlock the phone while it is charging. (Works like once in every 5 times) however, I'm on sure if that one is related.
Anyone have any ideas?

I'm on MHA-L29C567B183. US version of the phone. Stock
Did you install a screen protector? Could be the reason for sensitivity issues. If not, I don't know. Maybe a factory reset Will help?

I removed the screen protector when I purchased it. I could do a factoru reset and see how it goes. Hopefully it's software related and not hardware related.
I do hope so as well then. I do have to say that the factory installed screen protector doesn't do this screen justice.

I thought it was for protecting it in the box?
Mine had a lot of air bubbles in it so removed it right away.
My charger still has the plastic on it though xD

Lol, no, this phone comes with a screen protector pre installed .
The touch sensitity is definitely off a little. I have to swipe the notification bar sometimes twice for it to come down. I also get some missed taps but it's infrequent enough that it isn't a problem for me. I heard they started fixing touch latency and optimization in 5.1. Don't know if we will ever see it.
If you are not using the stock charger weird things can happen.
Alrighty update: Factory settings still yields the same results. It's not frequent enough to make me go crazy, but it's still roughly the same. I guess my real pet peeve is when I need to go to the app manager to return to an open app and it just closes out. I've lost a lot of information that way like recipes when cooking and etc.
What I really don't understand is the fingerprint sensor not working while it's charging. It doesn't matter what charger I use. It just doesn't respond most of the time (Sometimes it unlocks like it's suppose to)
Im using Quick Charger from SS and I have this problem too. It's nice to know this is a common issue, not only me. I dont have any issues with fingerprint when charging, just notice when the battery between 5-60% it's insensitive for me (maybe quick charge is working strongly in this range), "insensitive" here means when you press and hold any things on the screen, it'll "tap" it and open it instead, all pressing or sliding or zooming actions are normal, just dragging has issue. When the battery is 70% and above, it becomes normal and no more insensitive touch. Just that so I think I can bear this thing.
hey guys, this is my first day here lol
so I wanna ask something regarding the touchscreen in my phone because I can't find any solutions anywhere on the net
I just replaced my touchscreen yesterday, it looks good, and it feels good
but then I realised something when I type
the new touchscreen isn't very responsive when I type/tap fast
then i tried something called Yet Another MultiTouch Test
turns out, everytime I tap fast on 2 different points, the touchscreen detects it as a swipe between those 2 points
so it doesn't register as taps, but a swipe
I already tried repairing through PC Companion, glove mode is off (but the weird thing is I can even touch the screen through 10 pieces of paper, and when I turn it on, there's no difference. hypersensitive?), touch & hold delay doesn't have anything to do with it (neither is pointer speed), and tap2wake is off
is this a software problem? or is there any chance that the service guy didn't install the screen properly? or is it just a defective screen?
Hey,
I replaced my Frame and Display with one from Aliexpress.
The LCD Quality is great, but I have similar touchscreen issues.
Mine has normal responsiveness, but has hickups while typing from time to time. It will swipe between two letters for example.
Rarely it also has ghost touches.
My theory is: something is either not grounded properly or shorted to ground by the flex cable, or it might have something to do with the frame beeing just ever so slightly bent and the touchscreen is under tension somehow.
Haven't had the time to rip the screen of the frame and re-adhere it, but that's what I'll try next.
Regarding the paper: My primary phone (Redmi Note 3 Pro) works through 8, so that's pretty normal.
Does enabling glove mode do anything for you? Does double tap to wake work?
For me, both of those don't work.

regarding tap2wake, it works
but turning glove mode on/off doesn't seem to make any difference, the weird thing is the phone still works with gloves even though glove mode is off, so turning on tap2wake is a bad idea because it detects touches through my pockets
and yeah, my lcd quality is great too, heck I gotta admit I like this more than the original
so I went back to the guy that replaced the screen, asked him to see what's wrong with it and maybe rip the screen and re-adhere it like you said, but he keeps insisting that "it's normal because there is no way it can match the quality of the original screen"
so yeah, there're no other way than to disassemble it by myself or go somewhere else and risk it getting worse than before
