Video artifacts. - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Every once in awhile I'll get artafacts in videos on the web browser. Took a screen cap to make sure it wasn't just the screen. Anyone else run into this and is there a way to stop it without a reboot?

Does it only happen on flash objects?

Did you ever get this resolved? It happens randomly on my Prime as well. I have the latest ICS update (Build 9.4.2.11-20120117). Mine happens through out though, like in settings/menus/etc...
Here is an example.

I get this ocasionally too. So far though, only when streaming TV on demand which is flash. I am using the lates ICS.

I would hazard a guess that it is due to Tegra3 graphics drivers still being in their infancy. We'll see what the next update brings which is due 1st half of this month. Apparently it fixes many issues that people have.

It looks like you are either using the stock browser or ICS Browser. I managed to apparantly stop it doing this by clearing the cache in the privacy settings. I dont know if it is a pernament cure, but it has not happened since.

I´m having video issues in Youtube. Not always but most times. After they start there it goes on in every next app which i use. After reboot everythings allright again.
The complete bar on the bottom starts jumping and on the left side there are flashing artifacts... you can see it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIO2LBMG-dc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
hopefully these are driver issues...

My 3rd Prime starting having the same video artifacts and bouncing task bar.
I have yet to see any problem on my 5th Prime.

I have the same problem, artifacts in the left side randomly

I made a video
http://youtu.be/-u8c1NolrvY
It only happens with hd videos. With sd the video only bounces a bit.
Then if I play a Hd video again, it has artifacts but if I switch to fullscreen , they dissapear. If I switch to window mode again, artifacts come back.
I need to turn off the screen to get back to fix the problem.

I have a C serial Prime(from Spain)

I've had it happen once in flash video playback, jumping back and forth between full screen resolved it for me. I don't get it enough to consider it a legit problem. Im just glad to have flash playback!!! My 'boss' has an iPad 2 and all I can say is skyfire is a great app but a poor solution for flash video playback... of course as i write this flash just caused my prime to reboot... another reason i try not to bad talk my gadgets!

According with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449992 , uninstall flash plugin, and reinstall. It worked for me

i've encountered this exact problem, accompanied by corruption of the display along the left side, particularly where the back arrow is on the bottom status bar.
in my case, it always seems to start after i use the Terminal Emulator app, even after the app has closed. reboot always makes it go away.
i suspect a there's a graphics driver bug that a variety of apps are inadvertently triggering and is putting the driver into a wonky state. considering how we're seeing text "dance" on top of a stable background this screams software issue.

Can't push "install" soft-key buttons to install app

This happens occasionally with Amazon apps, when I try to install an update. It's also just happened again when I bought the Humble Bundle of apps, and it won't install when I try to push the install button once I open the .apk. Anyone know a work-around or have experienced this as well?
I will restart and post my findings.
For those who don't know what the Humble Bundle is, it's a bundle of four, great games, that YOU choose the price for. Read this article to learn a little more about it: Pay what you want for this Android Bundle
I couldn't install after reboot either...

So, that install button won't work for any .apk...
Turn off screen filter.. it blocks the install button for some reason.
This is not a glitch with phone or whatever.. its the screen filter app..disable it and hit install and it will work

It's an app that just makes the screen more dim than even Android can. You can set a default dimming level too.
That's is a stupid, stupid bug too, but at least I know why and it's now documented here. Thanks all.
Has anyone had this problem more recently?
I've been experiencing it on CM 10.1 ROMs, and only a complete wipe and reflash seems to fix the problem.
It would seem that SOMEWHERE, I need to wipe some kind of data out, but I don't know what. I'm having this exact situation right this second. Can't hit 'next' or can't hit 'install'.
4/11+ CM 10.1.
I don't see that 'Screen Filter' application. Nothing in apps called that. Does it have a different name?
Thank You

Any persistant overlay may prevent usage of the "install" or "next" button when installing an app from the SD card, whether it's screen filter or HALO. Chat heads, Ninja SMS, floating battery stats, etc are all possible culprits.
This is a safety built into android to prevent an app from popping up an overlay over the required permissions list and showing a "safe" list of required permissions on top of the real list of persmissions that allow it to read your texts, pick your wallet, and root around in your underwear drawer.

My Saviours!
I would just like to give a hearty THANK YOU for this thread.
I have been bashing my head against the desk trying to figure out WHY the hell I could not press the install button.
I have Twilight installed that dims your screen based on time of day. I followed the directions of turning it off, and look at that, it worked.
So what have I learned today?
There is ALWAYS an asnwer for something to not work as normal. It is a matter of asking the right question to find that answer.

209 bug list?

I haven't seen anyone post so here are my findings..
-radio seems to be working well now compared to 206
-also I will randomly lose audio from speakerphone. Mainly playing video. I will pick it up and go to watch YouTube and no audio will play. A reboot fixes it but I also found a factory setting that I turned off and haven't had an issue since but further testing will tell.

I have the 4g drop out problem on the .84 leak. Haven't bothered to move up yet. What am I missing?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA
The Launcher would crash at times.
Read somewhere that it's the Google search app that does it.
It's not just the stock launcher as well. seen it happen to Nova and Apex.
UPDATE
Buggy Flash Player in Browser
When watching flash videos in the browser, it freezes the browser, then crashes it.
The only way I've seen to use the browser after this happens is to clear cache, and then force stop the browser.
This doesn't affect just the stock browser. happens in dolphin browser too.
Also seeing the 4g/3g problem.
I use an app called "Restart connections" from the market to correct the problem.
Games like Zynga poker doesn't work in webtop mode. works great in phone mode.
I noticed a vertical line appearing on the right side of the screen once updated to 206.
There was no line prior to updating to 206 when it was on gingerbread.
I take great care of my phones.
At first I thought it was a line dead pixels cause it only appeared in whites and grays, but of course a pixel fix app didn't help.
Then I thought it was screen burn because it appeared in all bright colors.
I thought the screen was bad and was about to get a replacements.
A few night ago, I was closing a lot of apps to see how the system reacts and what I could manipulate.
latter that night, I toggled the brightness to a lower setting to read a book and noticed it was gone.
I cycled through the different brightness setting and still no line.
I switched back to auto brightness and again, no line.
What ever was causing the line was solved. I restarted the phone many times since and havn't seen it pop back up for 3 days.
Those are the bugs i've seen
Updated. Still having sound issue on 209. Have to toggle menu/setting/sound/volumes and move the volume bars around until anything makes sound then the media volume will work again. Anyone else w similar issues
Have you done a factory reset? Sometimes restoring data screws with things for me...
I've been on 75 84 79 206 and 209.... 75 but 79 was better 206 was great until I realized wifi was extremely screwy... 209 fixed that.

All my leaks have been fairly perfect except this. Wifi has never been an issue. Its a simple workaround and not major. Just seeing if others have had the dame experience. Kinda like I haven't had any Wi-Fi issues at all but you mention you have

S2 Touchscreen Weird Problem. Captures my finger movements intermitted

Hi guys, first of all, I have headache and I can hardly use correct grammer now.
My s2 has an idiot problem. I realized it the day when I bought but, I thouht that it was fruit ninja's failure, because I was sliding my finger and idiot s2 was capturing them intermitted. I opened developer settings and activated show pointer location (the one has graph). If I ove my finger slowly, s2 captures all of it, but when I do it faster (fruit ninja speed, my old n8's touchscreen was even better), it captures it intermitted. Then I opened *#0*# and tested my phone and the result was terrible. As you can see in the picture. Did you faced this problem? I sent my phone for repair and I will get my phone after 1 or 2 weeks.

Wfh is this. What an annoying problem. I hope warraty will repair it, because this problem will make me throw my phone to wall.
I still need your opinion. The topic was in 2th page and I had to move it up.

When you get the phone even if it's not fixed, then try these options:
1. If you don't have root access
-Download this App
-Run the app, and optimize your touch
2. If you have Root access
- Flash another kernel, Siyah, Dorimanx or Dream, anything touch related has been fixed in these kernels

I tried every kernel, but it is not kernel or rom related. I also tried a program which makes sensivity better, but if I do that, screen captures when I approach my finger, that makes keyboard unusable. Does anyone has this problem? I really wonder.
Addition: This problem is extremely idiot thing. Screen gets the movement but does not process it. What kind of idiotness is it (I did not say to you, to my s2 Dont understand it wrong)

Do Your Downloads Continue With Screen Off on 3g or Wifi?

Mine does not. Running new 4.1 4.04. Every time I download some thing and the screen turns off I either have my download pause or download failed not completed. Is there a way to fix this??
What custom ROM are you using? Mine does the same (running MeanROM 2.7). Some ROMs are coded to purposely shut off pretty much everything except regular phone/text communication when the screen is off to save optimal battery. Personally I haven't looked into it enough to figure out how to change it though... :-\

That option has already been selected. Does not work on Wifi or 3g.
I use juice defender ultimate and I haven't noticed them stop if I customize an app to be able to run with screen off.
If I'm downloading a torrent I plug it in the wall and select never turn off in display settings. Just turn brightness down to like 5%.
I noticed it was an issue on the og EVO for me. Idk about anyone else, kinda just fixed it without asking about it.
When I was running a Sense Rom, even with those settings above, downloads would stop. I think it has to do with how many other apps you have running. As soon as Sense decides it needs some RAM to run a different app, it will kill the app currently downloading regardless of whether the DL is finished or not. At least that seemed to be my experience, and yes turning off the screen would also kill my dl's sometimes. I would recommend going to CM10 or another AOSP ROM. I have found that the latest CM10 builds Kushdeck is putting out are pretty much solid. I have been using it for a daily driver for about a month now, and I don't miss Sense at all.

I miss being able to near instantly load netflix, crackle, crunchyroll or youtube as soon as I get home, so much easier then plugging the laptop in. I guess I could always buy a atv or roku or upgrade to a smart tv. Not a good move for someone in between jobs lol

[Q] System UI crashing

Hey guys,
I just got the Padfone Friday, and I seem to have an issue with the stock launcher.
Everyone once in awhile when I dock the phone, the tablet will flash between some screens, and I can't do anything. So I pull the phone out, and it tells me that the systemui has crashed.
I have root via towelroot, and I froze some apps, so I did a factory reset earlier in case it was from something I did. But this is still happening sometimes.
Is this a common issues, or is there something I could be doing wrong?
Have you found a fix yet? I have the same exact problem. I have the same symptoms you do. I can't put my tablet to sleep because it won't turn back on. I have to take the phone out and put it back in but then it glitches and seems like the systemui isn't working right.
Got the phone a couple weeks ago. Worked fine until recently. I haven't done anything abnormal. I did change my wallpaper on the tablet (I saw on another forum that someone thought this was the problem) but my problem didn't arise until a few days later.
I did a factory reset, and didn't change the background on the PadStation, that seems to be doing the trick.
Try disabling the lock screen. Mine would get whacky when putting the phone in the station, bouncing screens and/or telling me systemui had crashed until I disabled the swipe security on the lock screen.
.. .. another thing to watch out for is that some widgets don't play nice with this device. I had a weather radar widget on my phone and it worked well. When I would dock it in the padfone station I would get multiple crashes. Android would crash, Asus system ui would crash and tablet would freeze up.
Removing the weather widget from the phone home screen solved the issue.
Hope this helps
Well, that sucks. As far as i can tell it is the lock screen that is the problem. SLIDE lock was the culprit in my setup. I tried setting it a couple of different ways on the handset and also tried setting it from the station. The result was always the same; the station screen would blink on and off with the default text that instructs you to touch and hold the screen to change the wallpaper. When taking the phone out there is a message about the system ui not responding.
I assume this will be fixed via an update soon.
I was plagued with this problem of system ui crashing non stop when using tablet with a lock screen.
The solution I found was to update my Asus Launcher to 1.4.0.150213 and I havent had the problem anymore.

I had trouble finding the updated APK for the Asus apps.
I had to use the Aptoide app marketplace to get the needed APK. (they have all the updated Asus apps for some reason)
Worked perfectly and now I have everything updated and running smoothly with the new features.
Think there was like 3 apps that needed updating.
