Weird touch screen??!! - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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)

2 problems- Common or not?

Not really serious problems but problems nonetheless.
1. Sometimes (randomly), when the volume is up, I may do something like say, open a tab in the browser which will cause that ping sound. After that though, the you can hear the speaker still muffling. Is it supposed to happen?
2. When the tablet itself is on charge, does anyone find the upper half of the tablet getting warm? Not burning but warm. Only on the upper far left and bottom half is the tablet the same (temperatures). I was only browsing but the tablet was laid down on the sofa. Is this common?
Thanks

I've not had the issue with the browser but I have had the heat. It is not uncomfortable but is noticible
Rather than make a new thread, I'll ask here,
What can be done about EA games that upon starting state "can't connect to internet" or something along those lines? I have tried the apks of FIFA 12 and hot pursuit from my phone and even copied the game data for FIFA but the problem still persists. Any help?

Infinity problem after JB update

Hi, after I updated my Infinity with JB, I noticed the screen ocasionaly flickers, like for half a second one random line of pixels on the left side turns black, and other distortions, very ocasionaly and quick. Is anyone having problems like this?

yeap, sometimes a white horizontal line appears for a second o less in my tablet. I have to tell you that I don't have yet "the buttery" in it. Waiting to have time for a factory reset to improve the performance.
I saw other posts from the prime and the infinity as well, that after a while it gets worse, and a factory reset doesn't help at wall. I whant to resolve this without having to exchange it. I'm sick of having to go to the store and exchanging it. It's my 3rd Infinity.

I have not had what you described above happen to eithor the TF101 or TF201 I had prior to my current TF700T. My TF700T has not shown any of the issue you described after my upgrade to JB. It sounds like something you should take up with Asus right away since it could be a hardware issues and would be covered by your warranty.
anyone else?

I also get a screen flicker since upgrading to Jellybean on my
rooted TF700. I suppose I'll try a factory reset and will report back.

Yes, I get that too. Kind of annoying.

I also get it....was wondering of it was just me. I got my new infinity a couple days before the JB update so I wasn't sure if it was a result or not.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
Yes, it's a JB issue. I've only had it happens once, not seen it since.
It's just screen tearing. Happens on a pc, too, although there videocard drivers have Vsync options to forcefully match the refreshrate from the program to the screen to prevent screentearing. I suspect there's a difference between JB and the Transformer's refreshrate.
We're using an Nvidia card, has anyone send Nvidia a message? (I don't have the problem anymore, so I can't make a support ticket...) More likely to work than wait for Google or Asus to notice.
Also, I don't have root nor unlocked, but tp anyone who has, is there a way to change the refresh rate manually?
Should I do a factory reset after updating to JB? I noticed that it got faster, etc... But was wondering if it would still improve after a factory reset. If yes, how do I do a factory reset? And is there a way to have my infinity exactly the way it was (wallpapers, configurations, apps, etc.)?
So I shouldn't return my infinity? If it's a software problem... I'm sick of having to return this model.

I also have problems with my tf 700 after last update... tf 700 is having sistem freezing and restarting.

I have also the same issue than OP. I contacted Asus by email to try and figure out what's wrong. I got the tablet on Monday and upgraded to JB right away, so I don't know if the problem was there before in ICS. But reading this thread I think that it's related to JB. It's a "good thing" though, because this is my second TF700 and I don't want to send it back, again. The first one had a very white spot in the middle of the screen..*. But no flickering black lines issue.
So, you guys think that they can fix this with the next release?
I'm getting this too from time to time. Very annoying!

Are any of you setting options in Settings->Developer Settings? I have heard that the "Force GPU rendering" option was causing random reboots for some.

I'm really not sure then. Personally, I haven't had a singe reboot and/or SOD though, so it must be something specific to the setup for the folks that are having this problem. If you really want to figure it out, I'd suggest a factory reset and try running the tablet without installing all of your apps/tweaks at the same time.
How often does this happen? Can you try running a "bare-bones" setup and see if it still occurs? If not, then slowly start introducing your specific apps/tweaks one (or a few) at a time. Yes, it's a pain, but it's the only way to diagnose such issues... Have you tried looking at logcat outputs at all? That's another way to try and diagnose the problem. These types of issues are very hard to troubleshoot - it's a slow, tedious process. But, since most folks aren't seeing random reboots and or "sleep of death" issues, it is fixable (unless it's a hardware problem, of course).
So, here's a few questions that might help troubleshoot:
1. Has this always happened on your device or only since upgrading to Jelly Bean?
2. How often does it typically happen?
3. Have you tried installing Jelly Bean from scratch (not upgrading ICS)?
4. Are you installing your apps "fresh" or are you restoring them via Titanium backup (or some other backup app)?
Again, there is no quick, easy solution to this type of problem....

There's another thread going on this too.
I had a few lines and flickering day before yesterday, haven't seen this at all the last 2 days.
Another poster on XDA had mentioned that new OTAs take some time to settle down.

I'm back to ICS. Since I never ran my tablet with it (got it and upgraded right away), I want to make sure it's not hardware related. So far, no black lines... I won't upgrade to JB until they solve this!!!

[Q]Asus/Bootloader splash screen distortion

I tried searching but couldn't find anything:
I have an unlocked/rooted/custom ROM'd TF300T. I don't have any issues, but just have a concern when rebooting or powering up: the Asus / Unlocked device splash screen sometimes becomes distorted, especially around the top left hand corner of the screen. Once it goes to the Asus splash screen, all is well. Is this something to be concerned about?
I had this happen to me it didnt seem to be a problem. I fixed it by reflashing the rom and kernel i was running after i wiped. Hope this helps

Also, are you running a tf700 kernel? That is known to cause a distortion where " This device is unlocked" is.

I had the same problem when I used Clemsyn 1,7GHz kernel.

Touch Screen - Digitizer Problem

Out of nowhere today, I started having problems with my screen. When I press the left middle of the screen, it shows me pressing 2 inches above that. My keyboard in that area, is non responsive, and when I'm in apps and trying to navigate, it gets all haywire on me.
Is their a way to get it calibrated? To stop the intermittent failure of my screen in certain areas.?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk HD
Is this happening with power connected or without?
Saw a neat clip once of the screen's different feedback between connected and not. When was connected to power, user showed how his touch input resulted in erroneous touch all over the place.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda app-developers app
At first I thought it was during connection. But now it happens intermittently with other without power. When I called Asus. They said it's the "Digitizer" I'm under warranty, but If theirs a fix we can do on our own, I'm all for it.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk HD
Unfortunately, it probably is hardware-not software related. Get a RMA and send it in....
If you want to narrow it down some more, you could enable"show touches" in Developer Options.
But I doubt that it would help...

That's exactly what I did, to know that when I touch one spot on the screen, it showed the actual touch, two inches above where I was actually pressing. What's maddening is, it doesn't happen all the time. Just different times throughout the day.

Hopefully forum will let me post this link (still a new born here).
This is the video I saw, though I now see it is for the prime, but anyways take a look at the symptoms he had, and try and find that app he loaded, maybe can help you narrow problem down...

It does sound like a hardware issue with the digitizer. Sending it in might be the only way to know for sure and to fix it. It is under warranty, so you won't be charged anything. Try doing a full factory reset first before sending it, though. There could be small chance that it fixes it that way.

New to tf300t

Hello,
I just bought an asus transformer tf300 and i am really happy with it but i have some questions

(i already unlocked it)
EDIT2: the clicking noise is gone!
Thanks,
Noahvt
