I have recently upgraded from TF101 to TF700 and am enjoying every minute of it. I do, however, miss one function that was present on TF101 that doesn't seem to work on TF700, the ability to wake the device with a touc/swipe on the touchpad. Now I have to use the power button all the time. Did I miss something in the settings? Please tell me it is that simple!
Guess what you are looking for is in ASUS-Settings->Energy Saving->Mobile Dock Energy Savings ... but don't hit me on the exact wording as I'm using a non-English version.

I got my TF300T a couple of weeks ago and I'm generally pleased with it but one thing that is driving me insane is this auto contrast / brightness function that is always running on this tablet. When watching a movie or youtube clip with bright content then you can clearly see the brightness and contrast constantly changing, most visible on low brightness in a dark room.
I have not rooted my tablet yet but I think I'm going to do it soon, but today I saw this fix from the TF700 forum and I was wondering if this also work on the TF300?

Has anyone tried it yet, because if it works then I'll definitely be rooting it.

I haven't tried but I don't see how it wouldn't work, since the original tweak was found by a nexus 7 user.

This path wasn't correct for me - /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/
I had to use /sys/devices/nvhost/tegradc.0
Oh god thank you!! I'm gonna try this tonight, the auto contrast thing was driving me crazy.
hey this problem only happens in power saving mode, right?
Sadly, cannot seem to find any fix for non-rooted device like mine atm. All my android devices are usually on auto-brightness but it's unusable in tf300, that's my only gripe on this pad.

Download Terminal Emulator from the market and then type in the commands. When you type SU in terminal it gives superuser permission to the running terminal so you can type in the tweaks.
If I unlock the screen, around all the texts there is black framing until after one second or two it goes away...is this the auto contrast?
This doesn't work for me on my 300. It's an invalid directory because there is no tegradc.0 folder under /sys/devices

Use this path:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/nvhost/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable
What does echo '0' mean? Is it a terminal command or do you have to usean explorer to move some files?

Terminal command, its not a Real file, you cant move,copy, delete or edit it the regular way

Well I did that and it still seems to be doing the smart dimmer thing. Maybe not as bad, I can't tell.

I tried to change the brightness level for low-light values on my tf300tg without success. Have you tried such hack?
Asus Global on Facebook has posted that tf700 would be updated to android 4.2 today. So lets keep hitting that check update.
And lets wait and see whats new with this version on our tablets

Thanks! I've been lurking in the forums waiting for this. I'm just divided as to whether I should wait and see how it goes for others, or just download the update and see for myself. Not because I'm afraid of bricking (locked & unrooted here) but because 4.2 did have some issues initially on other platforms...
Anyhoo - thanks ASUS!

I don't think you should be fearing that much about bricking your device. There are a few unlucky people brick their devices every time there's an update.
I wouldn't flash the update on an unlocked device. That is how some TF300 users bricked their devices. Wait for Asus to put up the full rom.
I'm just going to wait. Mainly because a lot of apps aren't 4.2 optimized yet. I'm not afraid of bricking since i'm full stock, but I always have bad luck with updates of all sort.

So no one knows exactly what the update may entail? What was the change log for the TF300? Im sure they will be, at the least, similar..
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk HD
now im really ticked off. the one option i was looking forward to in 4.2 was the ability to use the nexus 10 launcher instead of the current launcher they gave this option to the tf300 users just updated to 4.2 and this option is no where to be found. what the hell asus !!
The TF300 had a lot of bricks. Maybe that's why they did away with it? Could that have been t cause?

Actually i could get into cold boot screen. Only thing is that it vibrates twice before getting into the cold boot menu and that there are only 3 option on the cold boot screen.

How is the 4.2 running compares to 4.1? faster, smoother, no change??
I've noticed the "recent apps" function has changed. Instead of a vertical row on the left side of the tablet, you now get a full screen, horizontal look, of your recent apps. Will take some time getting use too.
On the cold boot screen. I believe you now how to manually start the cold boot (by highlighting the android icon) then pressing up on your volume key.
Lastly, I get an annoying warning about my sound being dangerous if to high, when I try to raise the volume. Anyway to disable that?

I got a notice that the system update was downloading, I waited then got a screen that said do I want to install, I tapped "install" and the screen said "Powering Off". Its been off for about 20 minutes and won't restart.
Any thoughts?
On edit,
Now its restarted and it's downloading the system update file again.
Its doing the same thing, checked system integrity and then powering off but this time it looks like 4.2 is installing.
One minor thing I've noticed is that the inexpensive 3rd party charger I bought off Amazon now no longer registers as charging (although my 3rd party battery app does, indeed, show that the unit is charging). That's an annoyance, albeit minor.
Unless the new tablet version is extremely different than the phone version, Asus is no longer using the stock camera app. So no photosphere.
Also, no quick camera access from the lock screen, not that I'm using the tablet often to take quick pictures.

Is there a stock Android cam apk with Photosphere we can download that works with the Infinity, and does it mess up the ASUS camera?
I left the subject like that to show what's happening to me. The keyboard is fine, but seems to behave like this with the repeating characters ever since the latest update. Anyone else?

Try disconnecting and then forgetting it. Cold-boot the tablet, and then re-pair.

Im wondering if there is a way to write a mod that you can force a 90 degree rotation while keyboard is docked. I ask this because there are times while using my tab that i hold it in portrait mode and read or walk around. Its very comfortable to hold in my left hand like a book. And use my right hand to scroll. I find it easier and balanced with the dock attached. And when im done i can just close it. Thank you guys.

Hello
I'm having some issues with my tablet: the touchscreen is WAY to sensitive if i com VERY close to it it recognizes it as touch! and when i have my headphones plugged in and the rubber touches the screen: it also recognizes it as touch anyway to change it?
i am also have some phantom touches from time to time but they seem to disappear after locking and unlocking the tablet again (hardware or software issue?)
i am running android 4.1.2 with cromi-x on the latest bootloader with hundsbuah kernel v11
thanks,

The headphone rubber touching the screen causes a touch on any device. It's happened on both my tablet & phone. As far as being too close, I haven't had a problem with that.

I used to but now I don't, but then again now I don't really play games, I usually only use my tablet for music and web, social stuff, so maybe I don't see the lines just because I don't play games lol

I'll record a video later about the "coming close to screen problem" it's really strange
another problem i've found: the touchscreen makes a click whenever i press it (it is on the right side over the speaker)
