[Q] Screen starts flickering in games sometimes - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried it with Anomaly HD and Dark Meadow. In Anomaly it occasionally happens at a 2D to 3D transition, same for Dark Meadow.
I've yet to confirm the performance modes make a difference.
Ideas?

fresh reboot will fix it for a while. asus working on this issue.

do you work with asus? you seem to know everything about them!

Same issues here.

this is a known issue. there have been a couple threads about it. we can only hope that ASUS is working on it. seems to be software/driver/magic related. I turn the screen off and then on again and it usually clears up after a couple tries. Seems to be infrequent.

good observation...

lmfao. I plead the fifth

Thanks guys. I didn't see any threads about it in our 300T section so I figured I'd make one. It's different from the edge/backlight flickering which also plagues the HTC One X, which is a driver issue with Tegra 3 afaik.

Flickering goes out
At me after an .29 firmware the screen in games doesn't twitch any more!

[Q] YouTube HD playback problem

Hi guys, i just got my transformer and I love it but I have a little problem, HD videos in youtube app stutters!! t is not a connection problem, on my computer they play perfect, and anyway I let it load it the whole video to avoid connection problems.
The video still stutters, sometimes it plays full framerate, but the second after it is jerky!!
Anyone have the same problem?
Should I return it?
MP4 720p in video player just play fine...
PS: I also noticed i have some LCD backlight bleed problem... awwww man...
If hd flash is important it might not be the best solution.
Could wait and hope for a fix, but the tablet market is moving fast, always a risk companies will move on to the next gen product.
So far Tegra 2 + honeycomb seems not ideal, after all the hype?

Flash is not involved here, I am speaking of the official youtube app which should have no stuttering.
Anyone has the same problem??

Not got that problem. Does it still stutter for you via the browser as well?
Mine used to pause a few times when watching videos in the Youtube app but this appears to have been fixed with the latest firmware update.

Yes it does stutter even in the browser.

No yputube app does not use flash, in fact i uninstalled FlashPlayer from tablet to be sure of that.
I have the same issue. Coming from a Xoom I noticed it almost immediately. If there is stock soon, I will go to the store and have it replaced. Otherwise I might just return it. There are things I can deal with, stuttering video is not one of them.
Better to wait for Tegra 3 devices in August ?
http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/...e-tegra-3-chip-in-tablets-by-august-20110216/
Or 4 more months after that, until 2012 and get something better! or keep waiting until 2014 and get the best one in their roadmap!

Actually once it can do 1080p high profile, I could care less what is coming out since it would be the complete package. A Tegra 3 device seems like it could be the one. Definitely selling my Transformer and getting a Tegra 3 tablet when it comes out.
I think the problem is related to the youtube app, i had a trip to a local store with an Iconia A500 and played with it a bit. It had the same problem, i doubt a replacement would do the trick. i suppose an OTA update with a revised version of the youtube app or some tweak should be enough.

If thats the case then I don't mind at all, but it's something that I'd like to know *officially*. It's not something that has to be fixed immediately, but I'd like to know that the issue lies with the app and not my hardware.
Edit: But, at the same time, I didn't think many other people were having the same issue.. ?
stuttering playback was an initially known issue with honeycomb. Like someone else mentioned though, the firmware seemed to resolve that issue. Might want to make sure you have the latest and greatest version.

ya mines the US version of the 20110423.. first thing I checked.
It just crummy because my buddy loved my Xoom, especially the Youtube app (hes got a relatively large presence on youtube) and when he went to watch one of his videos (G20 Battle of Toronto) it was stuttering. It's like it will be smooth for a few seconds then get choppy . The audio never skips a beat though.
Just noticed a flash update on the market. Don't know if it'll help you or not. Looks like its now out of beta or something. I didnt really read it all before i installed it. Version 10.2.156.12.
Edit: Bah the irony. Now I'm getting the stuttery video. I wasnt before.

i just did the update and its still stuttering on videos
I know i read somewhere that asus was working with google on it. Maybe they still havent completely ironed it out yet. Remember, its still early for honeycomb...
how do you set the youtube app to 720p? i only see an option for HD

"shortly"? Meaning this week, this month, this quarter?
Seriously though, thanks for the update Gary.
great to hear. good to see asus is on top of things
Excellent!
Nice to know. Thanks. what camera issues were reported?
I don't use the camera, have noticed no WiFi issues. Keyboard might act up once in a while.... Guess I'm anxious to see what the update brings. And breaks. : ) Thanks.
Very nice. Thanks Asus!
Hopefully the screen flicker issue is addressed as well.
what about the encryption issues? are those fixed? i don't want to spend another whole weekend due to faulty firmware upgrades..
thx
excellent! my wifi corrupt on standby.
Thanks for sharing this info.
Looking forward to it. Any idea when?
Cheers:good:
Thanks for the update! I hope this fixes more than just the issues mentioned..... there were a lot of issues with the last update.
Android 4.1.2 is also starting roll out to certain devices.
Cool!
The keyboard was driving me a little nutz.
I don't use the camera...well I do use the video cam.
And yes maybe there will a fix for the lines on the screen.
Thanx Asus HQ.

Let's hope they fixed the encryption issue. The keyboard issues may be annoying, but soft-bricking your tablet is much more time consuming. It took me 3 hours to research this bug and doing a complete factory reset. Now I'm waiting for the encryption to finish. (company policy...)
Hope this fixes the JB Alarm and random reboots/freezes as well
I experienced the camera issue today when i tried skypeing someone. I'm glad that Asus is releasing a fix and am hopeful it includes a solution to the random sluggishness I experience.
Edit: And no sooner than I type this, random reboot.
I just want the black line that flickers down the screen fixed. Happens a lot in the nook app. Especially annoying while reading.

[Q] Touch screen stops responding must reboot to fix

Recently two n5 we have in the family started doing the same thing,
touch screen is not responsive (buttons do work) and the device must be
rebooted holding the power button to get it working again.
Quite annoying since it happens couple times every day.
Searched around but didn't find any reports.
Both phones stock, rooted, gravity box and touch control installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm going to take a wild guess here, But try uninstalling touch control and see if the problem occurs again. touch control has no issues on my phone btw.

What kernel are you using with touch control (Franco 33)?
It was working perfect for us with Franco till about rev 29, after that we got problems with graphic errors on the display once in the while, relished stock offered from touch control installation, and now this problem for change.

Yes i'm using franco r33, I reverted to from r34 due to otg issues that I need to get around to sorting out. Hope things go well for you.

Just had to be send mine back for same problem, only turning it off didn't fix my problem. Not rooted
Hmm...this just started happening to be as week this week. Happened twice today. I'm running the stock ROM & kernel.
I wonder if an update to some app is causing this.

Installed FC 33, the touch screen problem is not there anymore but the graphic distortion is back.
It happens once in the while and looks like poor TV signal for second or two.

Well mine has gone back.. Sounds like a different problem.

Unresponsive display in games

Hey guys, I have gotten my Flex 2 a few days ago, I'm really enjoying it and like it. However, I have a problem that whenever i turn on a game, the display seems kinda unresponsive and I have to put a great force on it and it finally gets the touch. Any ideas on how to fix this? It's quite annoying.
i noticed this on the H955 also . had a H950 before and that one was a lot better

It's really weird. But it's not like the display didn't work. It's only the game windows. Because when you take down the notification bar, it works flawlessly even with the slightest touch. Dang, i hope there's a solution for this.
what version do u have ?
I have the H955, running latest version of software.. It seems rather software fault than hardware though.
Alright, so I managed to fix the problem by disabling the Touch zoom option in the Accesibility tab seems like it had a problem with games. Also double-tap to like feature in Instagram app didn't work, so I tried it out.
thanks for the solution.

Yeah, no problem. It was biting me for the past couple of days, and it was that easy to fix... Well It's not a bad feature, it just doesn't work as it was intended to, I suppose.

Question Question for OP 9 owners.

So I have this weird scrolling issue, like the one on this video:
Can someone please test if their phone does the same? I will replace the phone if this turns out to be a hardware fault. Thanks!
Hi,
I have the same issue on my OP9. But if I hadn't seen this video, I would never have known there was such a problem. Like in your video, problem exists only in stock launcher.

Alright, thank you! Yes it is a minor issue, but still quite annoying (at least for me and my way of using the device). Hopefully they will fix as it soon, as it seems to be happening only on the base non-pro 9 model.
First thing i do is install NOVA launcher. So never noticed an issue.

This happenes throughout the device, regardless of the launcher used. Can you please try replicating the steps as shown in the video?
I did didn't notice any problem. But reading the previous post said only occurred in stock launcher which i uninstalled
I've lowered my animations to 0.25 with joneplus tool so that may make a difference as well

Okay, that's weird. Maybe I'm just too sensitive but scrolling feels off to me because of this.
Also, are you using the preinstalled screen protector?
Nope, didn't come with one. Got phone from t-mobile this time. Using one from Amazon forget which brand

Thanks for all the info so far! Just one more thing, could you please test it again, but keep your finger still for at least a second before flicking.
I am really sorry to bother you with this, but I am going to replace the phone, if yours turns out to be ok. I'm just paranoid that you might have missed it because it's so subtle.
In Nova the app drawer is side to side, but no issue there and in trying up and down in couple apps no issue . Even tested keyboard and virtually instant response using exact same keys from video. P0qla no delay at all

Alright, something is wrong with mine then... Or maybe the T-mobile version of the phone doesn't have this bug, since it uses a slightly different software.
Yeah could be. Maybe t-mobile turned down the touch rejection.
