Touchscreen not responding

Hi!
I have my transformer for 2 days now. everything worked fine until now: I woke up today, wanted to use my transformer, but the touchscreen does not respond anymore. I turned the Transformer off/on multiple times but it didnt help. then i updated to 3.1, didnt help neither.
The dock is still working and the screen (android) responds to turning of the tablet.
does anyone else have such a problem? how can I fix it? It's really annoying and I dont want to do a hard reset.

Had the same issue. Finally returned it and now seek a replacement.

I had this issue. I had to drain the battery all the way down to 0% then charge it back up. Now everything is working perfect.

I had unresponsive touchscreen several times when I had a few drops of water on it. I wiped it extensively several times and it worked again.

I'll give it a try, hope it will help.

Fully draining the battery helped, thanks a lot! I hope it will last...

I had the same issue once... I undocked the TF and turned it off by long pressing the power button..left it alone for 10 min and turned it on...the touch screen magically works again..
haven't happened since 3.1 update though..

Any solution for this annoying issue? My asus, by the way, brand new just lost touchscreen.. damn!
Please, anyone got to figure why it is happen or a solution?

[Q] Is this a common problem?

So yesterday I ran onto a problem:
So I downloaded Riptide GP and then I started the race but in the second turn everything just got messy and the game sounds just continued as I could still hear them. I didn't know what it was but today I got a idea that it may be the force GPU rendering, so I turned it off and tried again so no problems in Riptide,
but in dead trigger and some other games i've noticed a same kinda lag doesn't matter if GPU rendering is on or off. The screen just gets messy but I can hear continuing sounds... and then the game force closes (without any kinda message)
So have you guys had any trouble with performance?
I'm overall quite "disappointed" with the whole tegra 3 I don't think it's "that" good :-[

I haven't played Riptide, but I did play Dead Trigger. I didn't notice any lag, but the game was buggy on its own. I would be shooting zombies, then suddenly, I'm turned either 90 or 180 degrees and shooting at a wall. Combine that with the non-continuous look, and I'm frantically making little swipes with my right thumb to turn toward the zombies again. It makes the game unenjoyable (the fact that the story sounds like it was written by an eight year old doesn't help).
As for your lag problems, have you tried the usual troubleshooting methods (cold boot, factory reset, etc.)? I know that GTA3 recommends rebooting the tablet and starting with empty RAM (as empty as it gets, anyway) before you play it, and I have noticed a big performance difference when doing that versus playing with open apps. Maybe you could try that?

Yea that turning issue in dead trigger is really annoying.
Often after a reboot it has helped.
Is cold boot a normal reboot and what is the menu which you get when you press volume down plus power at boot or was it volume up?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

When you press volume down and power while booting, it shows you the bootloader menu. If you don't press anything, it will do a cold boot, which means it clears cache and dalvik cache.

Ok thanks, was it also possible to do a factory reset from that menu?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

Yes. To be honest, though, I may have been wrong about how to cold boot. I think if you go to the bootloader menu, you have to press volume up. I'm pretty sure, now that I think about it, waiting will take you to recovery. Volume up gives you the option to factory reset, boot into Android, or wait 10 seconds to cold boot. Regardless, it will tell you when you get to the menu. Just pay attention to what it says.

When playng fifa, shadowgun or gta they all make my screen flash after a couple seconds after getting into the game and then the screen gets messy and then I must exit this game, it really pisses me off.

i had similar issues when trying to overclock but if your not rooted that aint your problem i hope the factory reset helps mate

The gta 3 froze again at the first time it shows garage but after a restart of the game it worked as i think it should. btw I did try to overclock once i rooted.
I think it has helped with those FR's but i will test more. Thanks mate

I have Riptide GP and ShadowGun and they play flawless.
My TF300 has the stock room with the .30 update.

FWIW, I also have Riptide GP on my stock TF300T and I haven't encountered any issues up to now. Played for quite a while (and so did others)

Yesssss! No more lag on either shadowgun or gta 3 so far i have tested!
Seems like those factory resets helped, dunno why.

TF300 Bricked

Hey Guys just rooted my TF300 last week switched throug 3 custom roms and then went back to stock firmware....did a re root after stock install.
worked fine for a month but suddenly today screen just went black and refuses to display anythin. Ican tell that the screen is on (backlight glow visible) but it wont display anything.When i reeboot via power button screen works fine for 20 seconds till the asus logo and then degrades slowly to complete black. Warranty is void due to unlocked bootloader. plz help!!:crying:

Does the screen look ok when you boot into recovery? If it does try reflashing the rom, if not it might be a hardware issue.

what firmware on you on? if your on 30 flash back to 29 then see if it works

Don't quote me on this, but I recall someone saying that their screen had cracked and had to get the screen replaced, and the cost would have just about as much as a new tablet, since the glass/IPS screen is all one unit.
I recall reading that, but can't find it now, so I may be thinking of something else.

Ok guys the tab came back on by itself I just left it alone for the night and it's fine today *fingers crossed* hope it does not act up again. Thank you guys for ur replies.

Hey guys
Sorry wrong thread.

Keeps restarting after JB upgrade

After JB upgrade, my tablet started consuming more RAM. And it keeps restarting. Even though I dont do hard stuff it freezes and try to restart but it gets stuck at ASUS screen. That thing keep turning and turning unless I press the restart button or the battery hits 0. There was no such thing before JB upgrade. And since this is a quad core tablet is it normal? All I'm doing is just surfing the net or watching videos on YouTube + 1-2 tasks. I did much harder things before JB upgrade but there was no such thing as restarting or freezing. Could it be because of the JB upgrade or did I do something wrong with my tablet. Anybody else has this problem? Is there anything I can do to fix that. Should I change my tablet or wait for a new upgrade or what? Would rooting my tablet fix the situation?

You may want to try the 3 factory resets trick if you haven't already.

Be advised the factory reset will wipe the internal SD card and bring your tablet back to a factory state.
If you want to proceed:
Tap on the notification bar in the lower right corner (where the time is displayed.)
Tap on the settings icon (looks like a gear or cog.)
When the settings menu appears look for "backup & reset"
Choose "Factory data reset" (under PERSONAL DATA.)
The following message will appear:
This will erase all data from your tablet's internal
storage, including:
Your Google account
System and app data and settings
Downloaded apps
Music
Photos
Other user data
You are currently signed into the following accounts:
[email protected] (that's if you are signed into Google)
Do this tree times...
After which you will be back to square one with your tablet.
Good luck!

i had this exact same issue. I was on the verge of selling it and getting something else. Then someone convinced me to root. I rooted on Thursday and have not had any issues at all. Its like i have a brand new tablet. Rooting this thing is the way to go. I know you are probably thinking why should you have to root in order to get the device to function as it should. I thought the same exact thing.

I'm so glad to hear that it's working for you!

I didn't want to root because of the warranty issues. I know it can be reversed but I just didn't want to struggle with that. I'll try the 3 factory resets first. If it doesn't help me, I'll have to root it I guess. Thanks for the answers.

[Q] Touchscreen problem

Hi everyone! I have been having a problem with my tf700. It randomly registers touches in the middle part of the right end of the screen. Sometimes it registers one continuous touch, a lot of small touches, or sometimes it works fine. I am currently unlocked and running CromiX 4.4 but this problem started like two months ago after i unlocked the device. The "phantom touches" are annoying to the point of making the device unusable randomly as they mess with whatever i am doing with the tablet. If i put it to sleep and then wake it up the problem desapears for a short while (or for a random interval for that matter).
I wanted to know if there is a way to disable just one section of the touch screen, so these touches dont affect me. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

Try and search the forum. One other guy recently mentioned this issue and had to send it back to ASUS. must be a hardware defect
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app

Thanks, yeah it seems to be a hardware problem. I didn't want to get to ASUS because they will probably charge me a full new touchscreen or something like that, so i thought that maybe there was a way via software to disable just the little section that gives problem in the screen.

Sound like an issue that needs fixing rather than a work around if you haven't dropped it I think it would come up as a defect. So maybe wouldnt need to pay

I will take it to ASUS then. I have not dropped it but my warranty was voided when i unlocked it, so i will have to pay. I live in russia right now, but bought the tablet in the states, hope that is not a problem. Thanks for you help.

Just to be sure, I'd try and reflash an old version of CROMI (3.4.7) -- if the problem goes away, it is a funky incompatibility. If not, you have a hardware issue, but that should fall under warranty.
