Is there any app tah really locks the auto rotate function?
I've got a non rooted transformer, honeycomb 3.2 and use it frequently in bed. i find very annoying to have to tap on lower right corner and then open settings and then slide the auto rotation off.
I've already tried different apps like power control plus, beautiful widgets, autorotate ofOff, auto-rotate switch, auto rotate widget and many others like them but all of them simply recall the previuous state when i've manually locked the screen orientation with the method above.
so i'm looking for an app/widget that behaves like asus native lock orientation, or if there is a sort of macro creator that records taps and then create a shrotcut?
I've been looking for the same thing as well. Tried a few widgets like Widgetsoid.
Seriously? Tap the notification clock panel, hit the button that looks like this -|-|-|, and then hit Auto-Rotate off...
Do you guys actually try before you post?

I guess you didn't read the OP...
I've tried various solutions as well, including the above "helpful" suggestion. Rotation lock on the TF doesn't work very well. I'm not sure if this is an Android thing, or a TF thing though...

Maybe is for my bad english but please read my question before criticize:
I've already know your suggested method and actually i'm using it as it is the only one that really works.
but i have to tap once to open the notification panel, tap once again to open the settings panel, then slide the rotation lock (wich sometimes doesn't slide and requires some tries) and then tap again to close the settings panel.
so i was looking for an alternative that involves less tapping.
i've tried some apps and windgets but none of them works as they simply recall the last locked state operated by the method above (if i locked the screen in portrait using asus notification panel, activating the widget rotates and locks the screen in portrait no matter if it was in landscape - of course applications that has fixed orientation maintains their orientation).
Pretty funny. At least you provided an answer

God forbid you have to tap more than 1 time...
If you really can't tap more than 3 times, go write an app that does it in a swipe gesture.

this one might work for you but I think they all are simply other ways of turning on and off rotate in android, and nothing special beyond the method.

Just use SwitchPro Widget...
I use Widgetsoid and one of the option is orientation lock/unlock

Seems lazy, 3 taps is nothing.. You know how many this reply was? Lol you are saying youd rather hit home(1) widget(2) multitask panel(3) app(4) which is more work, than just tapping the corner a couple times

This is android buddy, more than 2 taps is utterly unacceptable

WOW, nobody read his post at all. He's saying that he is looking for an APP/WIDGET that will allow him to control auto rotate and have the auto rotate preference still set AFTER he turns his tablet back on. Stop criticizing him for asking for help. He already said he knows about the setting in the panel, but wants another way. Instead of calling him lazy you could go to the Market and begin trying apps out and see which one works.
Back on topic I have tried the following 2 apps and they seem to work fine for me, even after a few screen offs and ons and a few minutes sitting screen off the settings were still set properly. However if the first one does not work for you the second app just puts a quick shortcut in your notifications. Effectively cutting your taps from 3 to 2.
Auto Rotate On/Off by CurveFish
Auto Rotate Switch by Kenneth Cheng
Tried them both - nope, it still won't work properly. Sorry, but thanks for suggestion anyway. Msybe honeycomb handles auto-rotation switching differently.
Does anyone know how to disable tapping on the TF101 Dock's touchpad? I want to leave the cursor motion functionality though.
Thanks.

I would *love* a way to do this. I know it can be done via software since Jump Desktop does it...
Any developers willing? We'd be willing to pay for this!!

On your keyboard dock there is an mousepad key to turn it on/off
Excuse me for reading to fast , you want to disable tapping only.
Little bit of search and found this topic about your tapping problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1091989.html
The next link they posted an kernel specially written with an option to switch it on/off. But its for honeycomb an you have to have an rooted device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090510
Modding the control layouts may be able to fix it, but I believe that will also disable left click. See those links above.
Subject says it all. "vibrate on touch" not functioning...AGAIN, and I did factory reset, firmware update blah blah blah. This makes 3 in a row for me with this issue. C6, C5, and now C7 s/n.
This time I bought it at Best Buy locally instead of online like the first two, so I can exchange it more easily.
So, what's the over/under on the total # of times I'll be exchanging this thing until I get one that works 100%?
Mechanical construction seems fine w/ minimal light bleed.
One final thing ASUS: W T F ?!
No haptic feedback on what, typing? There are settings to increase the instensity and the stock setting you can't feel it, so you need to go to the keyboard in settings and change the intensity.

No touch feedback on ANYTHING.
The only place I notice the haptic feedback is when I power the device on and off - that's it... I'm wondering if all 3 units were actually fine the whole time??

My first one it worked fine then inexplicably stopped working. Every time I tapped the screen I would get a response. When I would place widgets on the screen I would get a response. I can adjust the settings/volume in advanced keyboard settings, but when I type there is no feedback response. Mine does vibrate on start-up/shut-down, that's it.
I feel a slight vibration when I press any of the three buttons on the lower left of the home screen
Did you go to "Settings - Sound - Vibrate On Touch" and turn it on?

If it works on startup/shutdown then I don't think it's a hardware problem - probably just a combination of settings...

This is nuts...
There is an option that can be toggled on and off in the settings menu. It's called "vibrate on contact". You know what I am referring to, right? Whether or not that box is checked has no effect on the haptic feedback.
I am aware of the 'advanced keyboard settings' where the duration of the feedback can be set. I can slide that around and feel the response. When I use the keyboard: no response. Again, it's not just the keyboard, it's everything.
My very first tablet, when I clicked on menu items, icons, etc, the scren would vibrate..just like my cell phone. Every time I tapped the screen there was a solid response. Then it suddenly stopped working. 2nd tablet, very faint feedback when hitting the 3 icons in the lower right hand side, none anywhere else.
I have a feeling a LOT of people have this issue and don't realize it and/or don't care about it.
Bottom line is, my constant issue has nothing to do 'playing with settings' hard boot, cold boot, boot in the ass, whatever. It has to do with piss poor quality control on the part of the mfg.

When I turn it on... All 3 lower left icons have haptic feedback. When I go into settings and turn off "vibrate on touch" , it doesn't work. I don't see a problem.

Haptic feedback response is supposed to be for more than just clicking on those 3 icons you are referring to. How about when you select various things from the settings menu? When you click on an app? Press and hold an app/widget in the menu to drag to the homescreen? In those cases, and others like typing, there should be vibratory feedback. If you're ok with it then great. I just feel that if I am spending $500+ on something I want ALL the functions to work.

Are you using the stock launcher?
Ya, thats settings for the tablet dude. If you feel the feedback when you turn it on or off then it IS working. Asus has just nerfed the HF when your navigating around android likely to save battery life. Chances are with custom roms and custom kernels when they come you can boost the intensity of the vibration and enable it for everything, not just three or four buttons on the homescreen.
Honestly, in a device like this having HF is sort of silly, one tiny vibrator isnt going to provide that much feedback in such a large device and it just kills battery. The only time i really like having it is when i turn on the device and get that feedback to tell me that yes, the tablet is in fact turning on.
I had the same issue that haptic feedback was only working while powering the device up.
But to my big surprise it started to work on everything without me doing anything about it.

Maybe its a bug that didn't exist in the firmware version on your original unit, but exists in the current firmware...
My point is that its not a *hardware* issue if it vibrates on power up/down...

Maybe, but I always turn off haptic on my phones and tablets.. never did like them
Ok, so I just tested this. The only way to key the soft keyboard keys to vibrate on touch is by going into the "Asus Keyboard" settings and enabling it there. If I enabled it under the "Android keyboard" settings, it doesn't work (since we actually using the Asus soft keyboard). Also, make sure to increase the vibration length as it defaults to 1ms or something like that.
Have you enabled the vibration under *Asus Keyboard* settings?
The back, home and recent apps soft keys did vibrate by selecting Vibrate on touch under Settings->Sound.
So, it seems to work as expected here...

Hi,
I know it's kind of still early in the game, but anyone knows if any Lollipop support navigation ring yet? That's probably the most important custom feature for me....
Thanks!

I know I'm kind of late - but are there any news regarding this? I can find plenty of ROMs with a 3-way customizable navigation ring, but not only does that lack 7 possible shortcuts as compared to KK, it also reacts much slower and is not available on lock screen. Does anybody know?

I don't think anybody is going to attempt placing 7 shortcuts in the Navigation Ring on Lollipop.
The lockscreen in Lollipop was completely replaced and would require a lot of modification to get the Navigation Ring to work on it (and would conflict with the upwards swipe to unlock).

Yeah I guessed that, although I'd prefer to have the navigation ring instead of the Lollipop default.
Either way, that shouldn't hinder the navigation ring in unlocked mode, right?

There were also other changes to the navigation ring, mostly to do with animations and visuals. Getting more than 3 to fit/work would also be a pain.

That's unfortunate. In my perception the new behaviour is slower and less handy than before, so if I'd have to live with that it would be quite upsetting. Thanks for the info and I'll keep my hopes up.

If you ignore the animation and swipe by feel, it works exactly the same speed-wise compared to KitKat. The visual animation makes it look slower when it really is the same.

Unfortunately that's not true for me. I tried using it exactly as before but my phone just doesn't react, I have to wait almost a second for the animation to start before it reacts to my swiping in that reaction - otherwise it just goes unnoticed. what rom are you using?

Hi guys.
My keyboard has been pushed upward after Android 10 update and it's irritating the hell out of me. Same no matter using Google or SwiftKey. Already tried changing the preferences and layouts of the keyboard but this is the lowest I can go. Is there a setting I can change? Thanks in advance

Facing the same issue
I downgraded to Android 9.0 solely because of this.
It's in design. The idea is to place it in the same space as if there were navigation keys. Actually I like it a lot myself, when I used the gestures in android 9 I kept missing keys because the keyboard wasn't in the place I was used to (but that's just me)

Was there anything else dissatisfying in Android 10? I'm currently considering to update & desperately want to hear/read other people's opinions on the matter.
Same issue here, but actually I think I like it, at least in portrait mode, since these phone keep getting taller an taller, the new position for the keyboard with this "invisible" bar it's actually more comfortable, doesn't look that good but meh, in the other hand, it is hell of an issue in landscape mode!

If it's that annoying, you could try the google gboard floating keyboard app, then you can move it around to wherever you want it to be.

It does not work like that. The gap is not usable. Not way to put anything on top of this part of the screen. Just wanted to inform you that it is not possible to make the keyboard float there
The gap is totally a waste. I used to type anytime by swiping and then clicking the enter key, which would be just in the bottom right corner of the device, so i didn't need to actually look at the keyboard while typing. I could just feel the corner of the screen and then my hand would automatically tap on the enter, but now no longer. There's just a useless, ugly black border there.
Also, in Google Chrome, you type something in the address bar, but accidently touch that black bar, it closes the keyboard and everything you typed just get cleared.
The struggle is real my dude. I found an adb command to correct the issue. It works fine until I notice it changes the height of the screen and stretches it out. Now there are buttons I cannot see because they are off the screen. If they don't make this "feature" optional, I might have to just decide to deal with the gap. Other than that, I like android 10.
This gap annoying me too
The gap is one of those reasons why I don't update to Android 10! ?

I think if the keyboard will be more near the bottom, the keys on the outside will be rounded, which makes them smaller
For me it fixed after changing gestures settings to 3-button type
yes, but we don't want to use on screen buttons, but gestures..
