Hey, I was just playing with my phone this morning and noticed a strange problem... The top part of my screen, just under the notification bar, does not respond when touched, if an app is running. For example, I cannot hit the location/search/layers button in gmaps, or the search button in market (this is only in portrait mode btw), but on the main screen, it responds just fine. This problem did not exist yesterday either, and I have already tried rebooting, and that did not fix it...
Might want to provide a bit more info if you want help.
I.e. What rom are you using, what kernel, any speedtweaks, etc.
Oops, sorry, it just seemed to fix itself randomly, but I am running CM7 1.2/MR2 radio, no other tweaks, just in case anyone else has the same issue in the future...

Im hoping it was just a fluke for you, but keep an eye on the issue, if it happens more it would sound like you could have a bad digitizer (its what controls the touch screen)
So it happened again today, not sure what set it off, but this time it wasn't just the top part of the screen. Phantom presses would happen, the notification bar would go halfway down and then pop right back up, the 4 buttons on the bottom wouldn't respond... I did a battery pull, and it seems to have fixed it for now, should I be contacting verizon to replace this one? It is a replacement of my original one (which bricked)...
My dock (I'm from the UK so dock and tablet come together as one package) only seems to fully work about 25% of the time. Most of the time when I connect it I don't get a mouse pointer and I can't use it to type :-( The tablet recognises the dock being connected as in the notification area it says "You can now use the keyboard to type" and the tablet charges from the dock. However, only the top row of the keys do anything - so I can lock it, mute the sound, turn off wifi etc fine, but none of the other keys work. The other 25% of the time when I connect it the mouse pointer instantly appears and I can type fine. The bar always goes to the lock position, so I'm assuming I am connecting it correctly.
Apart from this the tablet works fine - no dust or dead pixels, good wifi, minimal light bleed, so I'd rather not return it and get another one with other issues. maybe a loose connection on the dock?
Anyone else with the same issue, or who can help?
I had some problems with the dock functioning, but it seems to have gone away after plugging/unplugging a few times. Now it seems fine.
I am also from the UK and have the same problem I have tried to remove the dock a few times and sometimes it works. It never worked first time. The table is perfect with Bluetooth and GPS working. My main problem is that it takes ages to boot up compared to my 101, about 4 times as long. I will wait a couple of weeks see if an update sorted it then return the thing back to Comet.
No problems here. Did you guys get the firmware update? I am using MobileDock version TF201-DOCK-0206, that got pushed to me the first time I docked my TFP.

Yes I have the same version TF201-DOCK-0206 thanks for the reply
I'm from Austria, but got the package with tab and dock too, i think thats regular in EU. I have no problems with my dock. Maybe you've pressed the "disable mousepointer" button? it's next to the bluetooth button on the dock

Thanks, Hadn't noticed that button. If the dock isn't working (which is about 75% of the time) and you press that button to disable the mouse pointer and then press it again to reenable it, the mouse pointer will work for a short time, but the keyboard still won't work in this scenario. If you leave the mouse pointer to disappear you can't get it back again until you press that button twice again.
So its still not working properly but there can't be much wrong with it if you can press a button to get the pointer on again. Maybe it will be fixed by the ics update on thursday?
Mine has a little issue where after not using it all night the dock will not funtion. There is no mouse pointer at all. Once I pull it off the dock and put it back on it works just fine the rest of the day. Anyone else have this issue?
Got it working again by rebooting and then re-docking a couple of times (typing from it now). Been working for 30 mins - scared to leave to go into sleep mode in case it fails again ;-)
Closing and opening the hinge seems to help, but probably best wait for todays update before worrying too much!
Got this from ASUS support today;
Could you please await the firmware update that is due to be released this comming thursday?
If the firmware update has failed, please back up all your data and try the recovery back to factory settings as per instructions below:
1. Press and hold the power button and choose <Ok> to shut down.
2. Remove any SD cards from the Eee Pad.
3. Press and hold the <Volume Down> button, then press and hold the <Power> button. Keep pressing them both until you see white writing on the screen. You may then release them.
4. Wait five seconds until you see an icon in the middle of the screen labeled "Data Wipe".
5. Use the <Volume down> button to highlight "Data Wipe"
4. Press the <Volume up> button to execute the process.
6. After the "Wipe Data" process finished, it will automatically reboot and start normally.
Didn't do a wipe, but I'm still seeing this occasionally after updating to ICS 9.4.2.7. Open/Close seems to persuade it to work.
Select Asus keyboard as input and the keyboard will work. EOT
Changing the keyboard setting doesn't always work. Sometimes the special/shifted keys get mapped wrong too. It's all related, but some point in the process seems unreliable.
Mine does the same thing. I have to reboot the tablet while off the dock and then plug it in at times for it to work.
Same here. Bought from PC World in UK.
Is this a software issue? If not, I'll get it swapped.
I have the same problem with the dock, i tried everything. Hardreset , factory reset, reboots with and without dock on prime but nothing changed at all, the dock is working about 10% of the time and that is completely random.
There doesnt't seem to be a loose contact between dock and prime, because I tried to move around the dock and the prime in every direction while they were connected and the keyboard was working at that time without problems and without losing connection or an error message.
As soon as I'm working with the dock for a few minutes or when the Prime (while connected to the dock) is turned back on from sleep mode, either the dock's keyboard or the touchpad or sometimes both stop working.
I'm using the DE version of Android 3.2.1 as firmware,

Nope! ASUS keyboard is already selected - I've tried every combination of keyboard it makes no difference to the functionality of the dock. full keyboard only works 10% of the time, mouse pointer only works about 25% of the time, the top row of keys works 75% of the time, and dock charges the tablet 75% of the time.
On the odd occasion when all the keys do work, they only work for up to 30mins or so, or until it sleeps :-(
A user on transformerprimeforums.com as tried a different a second tablet with his dock - and it worked fine. Which assumes his tablet is the issue? Which is a bit weird as I would have assumed an issue with the dock. Anyway, mine is going back (both tablet and dock as it's one package in the UK) and I'm going to try a second one. Any issues with the second one and I'll give up and get a refund :-(
Problem persists for me on TF201-DOCK-0206 .
Although sometimes irratic and difficult to replicate, I've found a way that normally works.
When booted undocked, then docked after lock screen displayed, MobileDock works.
When booted docked, MobileDock still charges, but isn't fully functional.
I've installed all firmware updates so far. No change.
I also have the same problems with my TF201-DOCK-0206 as mentioned in this thread. Was hoping for the last update to solve it, but it didn't.
What I found out is when the keyboard works, keep the Caps Lock light burning if you don't use the keyboard.
I'm not sure if it is a soft or hard issue, but I don't think it has something to do with bad connections/connectors. More like a component goes into sleep mode and won't wake up the normal way.
The accelerometer on my Razr Maxx works promptly and perfectly except under two conditions. The first -- if I'm lying down, say on a couch or in bed, and holding the device over my head facing down. In this position the device will almost immediately shut off over and over. It won't reboot, just shut down. I can always restart it the same way I would from any "sleep". I can get the device to stay on merely by rotating it to face "up" no matter whether I change position or location or run or do not run any particular application. Is this common? Is it by design for some reason? The second -- if I have Button Savior installed, the Maxx accelerometer will work but there will be a significant delay in responding. Like 15-30 seconds delay! No Button Savior - no delay. Install Button Savior - delay. Uninstall Button Savior again - no delay. This troubles me as I really like Button Savior even on devices that have "hard" buttons. Having these controls right under my thumb is the fastest way to navigate, for me. Button Savior (updated) works perfectly for me on other Android phones, on my rooted Nook Color (CM7), even on my rooted Nook Touch. Any cures for either ill?
Hi
The accelerometer issue... does this happens from the first day you bought it? I trying searching similar issues, could not find anything. I am almost sure it is physical defect of some kind, you should probably take it back for replacement.
I don't know if the accelerometer issue related to Button Savior began when I first installed the app (as opposed to coming from a particular app update, for instance) as it took a long process of elimination to find the connection. As to the "upside down" issue I believe it has always done that. However -- it only does it if I TURN ON the device while it is upside down. If I start using it facing up, say watching a video, and then turn it upside down the video continues to play flawlessly. Bizarre!
I know there is an option to use the light sensor to detect when your phone is in your pocket, and turn off. Maybe it's on on your phone, and it's detecting lower light when you flip it over and shutting the screen off?
ok, so i misunderstood the issue, i thought the phone turns off completely...
if it only goes into "silent" or "lock" mode... maybe you installed some kind of app that does that when you flip? or maybe your player has one of those settings? like... say you are in a meeting, with your phone on the table, it rings... you just flip it and it goes silent.... some android build have that as a default setting already...
here, check this so u understand better what i mean :

hope this helps!
tried updating yet? i had the same problems prior to the 65.1.40 update
weird and terribly disappointing. Once in atleast 15 unlocks, when I press the power/wake button, screen just doesnt respond. I try to swipe, but no response. But when I press wake button to turn off screen and press it again, theres no issues. This happens only during unlocking screen. Did anyone face this issue?
rest all is good..no lag..once unlocked phone works perfectly...no lag..no getting stuck..again, let me tell u this issue happens once in 15-20 lock/unlocks.
I think I have the same issue as you, but in case I don't I will post what I am seeing on my device.
In about the same frequency, say once in every 15 unlocks from phone sleeping, the screen will come on but will be completely unresponsive. Doesn't matter if it is swipe unlock or pin code etc, there is no response to touch input on the screen. In fact, I think the screen is just frozen or the operating system is causing the lock screen to hang.
If the lock screen is hanging, pressing power will:
(a) sometimes make the phone sleep again
(b) make the phone screen kind of glitch/blip and then it takes input again
(c) does nothing and the screen remains on and hung/frozen
Occasionally mashing both the volume key and power key will help fix it, but usually if it is completely stuck I have to do a hard reset (holding HOME+VOL UP+POWER and then selecting reboot from the menu).
Now - I think this could be an app, but not sure.
When I first got the phone, set it up with my Google account etc, it went ahead and downloaded ALL the apps I had installed on my previous phone (HTC Sensation running Android ICS). So if it is an app, it is having issues with this phone, not the OS, imo.
I uninstalled all those automatically downloaded apps, and used the phone for a bit without my normal stuff installed. Then started installing apps singularly.
I think it is either Facebook or Alarm Clock Xtreme. The latter makes more sense given it would be polling the system to find out when to go off, so it is doing more in the background I would expect than Facebook or any other non-system app.
Other apps I have installed/running:
Swiftkey X
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD
ES File Explorer
Winamp (locks without this running or running at all in lock screen mode, so that is not the issue)
Real Calc
Google Drive
Facebook
Alarm Clock Xtreme
It is quite frustrating for a brand new phone to have these issues. Not sure if it is hardware related, and if it is, I want to find out soon so I can take it back to carrier within their 28day device swap RMA period.
Thoughts?
So others may try to help or identify the possible cause / fix .......
What is your firmware version?
Are you rooted, custom ROMs or Mods etc?
Stock ROM,Baseband : XXLE8. Build No :XXALE9.
But my screen responds after i press wake button again. You are right seems to be issue with the app. i will just compare your apps and below are the ones which are common between us.
Facebook
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD --i never use
Google Drive
a fix that worked for me
Steps to the solution that worked for me (so far) were to uninstall:
1. Alarm Clock Extreme (no noticeable result but I wasn't needing that application anyway)
2. I had WIFI Fixer installed because of the problems I experienced with the WIFI connectivity on my Galaxy S3.
I disabled that application and problems seemed to go away for a time, but every so in a while they resurfaced. Much less often than before, though.
I was still stuck with my WIFI problem anyway, so I looked into solutions for that problem and since I could not find a workable solution I uninstalled Wifi Fixer and started tweaking my WIFI settings.
While doing that I noticed that disabling "Network Notification" under the Settings -> WIFI -> Advanced tab fixed both my problems.
Now I can't be 100% sure this solution works for all, but I am pretty sure the application that created the problem was "WIFI Fixer".
It's been more than 4 hours now without the "disabled unlock screen from hell", and I’m very happy.
LOOOL
Actually...
My WIFI problem was not solved.... but I found a solution on another forum , which you can read below:
I dialed *#0011# then pressed menu button, then selected WIFI, and pressed the button to turn off the "WIFI power save mode". Hit back until I was back in the homescreen. WIFI has worked to my satisfaction ever since.
This is not a solution, this is a work-around....
It will remove the standby wifi.... My phone was at 0% battery in one night... But actually yes, the phone doesn't hang up when unlocking.
Someone who had replaced the phone could tell me if the problem is solved with a new one ?

This looks like a bug from wifi, i had the same problem and i found a fix:
On the dialer type: *#0011#
Then press menu -> wifi, there is a button ON ( power saving or something ), change it to OFF.
let me know if it solves ur problem
It worked!!

This worked for me!!! Thank you!! I was about to take a hammer to this phone! :good:
I seem to have another problem. When unlocking the phone the screen turns on in a quite ok amount of time, but then when I touch it immediatelly after it turns on it doesn't react to touch. This moment when touch is not working is getting longer and longer depending on how long the system is running, anybody else sees this?

Not sure what ROM and kernel you are using, but at a big guess, try reflash another kernel or with less aggressive settings.

hey guys. I have a problem with my s3's lock screen similar to the described. whenever I press the power button to unlock, it takes 2 second for the screen to turn on. Anyone got any ideas on that?
Hi All,
My Titan has developed an annoying issue coming out of the standby / lock screen.
After the phone has been left and has locked it self, I press the power button to light up the display. Then when I try to slide the lock screen up nothing happens, the phone does not respond. This is also true of the buttons on the front, camera, and volume button. No response.
After a while the phone will start to respond again.
I have noticed that the phone updates email and message icons whilst its not reponding. Not sure if that is WHY it is not reponding though.
I have read that installing the facebook application from the market place can cause a similiar issue, but I do not have this app installed.
Has anyone else seen and/or solved this issue before?
What should i be looking at to cure it?
Thanks
David
