Problem after last update - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Touch screen was working fine before update now it wont respond. It worked a little after factory reset but now its not doing anything. I did another factory restart and now that doesn't help. At one point it was working when pressing really hard but that doesn't work anymore.

Not sure if this helps but I noticed that MyZine was no longer on my screen. I thought the update uninstalled it but it's still a widget. Funny thing is that the location where the myzine was doesn't seem to work when I touch-n-hold to add it back. Touch-n-hold anywhere else on the screen or slide to screen to the right or left and Touch-n-hold works fine. I can't even add myzine back to that same spot but I can to other screens. So for me it's not that the touchscreen doesn't work, it just that honeycomb thinks the myzine is there when it isn't.

Issue with Hubs Nav on Prime: Overlapping widgets switching order

Hey Folks,
Note sure if this is the appropriate section to put this post, but since it's theme oriented I figured I'd put it here.
So I've been programming the Hubs nav setup on my Prime. Everything has worked out well so far except for the following:
Occasionally when I connect my tab to my dock (or unconnect), the bottom most Minimalistic Text shading widget will switch to be over top of three Simpletext widgets that are meant to open apps. Restarting the Prime or plugging in (or unplugging) the dock don't seem to fix the issue. I'll be forced to erase the MT widget and install a new one.
Locking the ADW screen doesn't seem to help either.
Does anyone else have this issue? Anyone have a work around?

Bump. Anyone else have this issue?
I have the same problem with widgets flipping over on top of each other (I have a picture/gallery widget on top of a Pure calendar widget, but about half the time it's under the calendar widget. Meh.)
Anyway, instead of using a simple text widget have you considered just using the app's shortcut icon, deleting its text, and then changing the picture to an ADW dock so it turns invisible? You know, the same way you do the shortcuts to change screens? Clicking on my minimalistic text widget that displays weather conditions takes me to my weather app.
And I'm not at my tablet right now, but there may also be an option for the minimalistic text widget itself to launch an app when clicked?
Same Issue
I've tried creating the MT widget last, tried overlapping my clock widget first over the MT box before correcting the overlap but both to no avail.
Overlap works for most screens, but the standby screen / the screen before deep sleep tends to switch the overlap order.
There are times especially after a long power off, when my MT widgets seek the topmost order of the screen. Any chance on finding out what the problem is? Thank you.
May I ask again why you're using SimpleText to launch an app instead of 3 invisible app icons? I have used this method underneath a few hubs without issue for nearly 6 months now.
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you were OP. But yeah, I've never been able to find a solution to this rather annoying problem for sometime now.

This is a common issue. No idea but it may lie with MT. Contact the developer.
Otherwise I've yet to see this issue between simple text and MT. Did you disable the tap action on MT?

Hey folks,
Thanks for everyone's advice! I ended up replacing with icons in the end.
Flip: How does one disable the tap action on MT? Do you think that might be the issue?

You disable it in the main minimalist text

When this happens to me (usually during the screen orientation change) I do the following:
1) Open the stock launcher (might have to reset the settings)
2) Open the recent apps bar and close ADW
3) Start ADW anew
This fixes the issue every time. However, I ended up disabling screen orientation changes in ADW using the 'Landscape' setting instead of auto rotation. The z-Level issue didn't happen to me since then.

Blank home screen issue

Sometimes when I go to the stock launcher, I just get my wallpaper.
The screen is totally blank and I cannot access my home screen or the app launcher.
Has this happened to anyone else?
I have two Archos Android tablets that do that regularly. They do recover after some 10s of seconds. The Archos tablets are rather weak in the CPU department, which I think causes their hanging lags getting back to the home screen. My Prime never does that. Do you have some odd non-default settings or possibly some big nasty animated wallpaper? Could you have some application running in the background hogging a lot of resources?
I'd be tempted to perform a factory reset and reinstall all my apps. I basically did that when I upgraded from my original Transformer to my Prime. Amazon and the Android Marketplace had all my stuff, so it was not such a big deal.
Bye.

This was happening to me when I had the ASUS Task Manager widget running. I'd swipe to the screen that had it running and Launcher would crash. Then all home screens would go blank and I'd need to force close the Launcher to get things back to normal.
I removed the Task Manager widget, and mine hasn't done it since. So, if you have that widget running, you might try getting rid of it.

What the heck is NookViewer?

I rooted my NT and when I go to the apps list in my Go Launcher, I see an app with a little Android icon called NookViewer. If I open it, it doesn't seem to do anything except for blank the screen. The menu icons at the bottom of the screen drop away and the screen turns white. Then my NT just sits there until I click the Home button, after which I'm returned to the Go Launcher apps list.
Does anyone have any idea what this app is or what purpose it serves?
Thanks.

No, but I'm glad you asked. After a couple of times of doing what you did, I just ignored it.
Nook Viewer
I wonder the same thing and have just been ignoring it as well!
I just hide it lol.
Hmm. Build.prop thinks I have a nexus. Yay crazy root stuff!

"Nook Viewer" allows your NT to become completely invisible when threatened. Ignore it.

New status bar lock with .21 update

Center dot in status bar press and slide to lock/unlock. Sweet. Sorry if this has been posted. Just got too excited

They screwed up something.
The settings menu is now active in the lock screen.
And when you click on a notification, it was simply bypass the lock screen...

Where is this at? i can not find it any place. im using [ROM] AlmostStock_9.4.2.21 (with motley_tfp_beta_kernel-2.1) there is no center dot on my bottom bar.
Look here
Go to settings, Asus Customized settings System Bar Lock - Enable it for there. Then you get a little tutorial for folks too lame to figure it out, LOL. I guess that's smart, else they would have to field all the support calls "I lost my System Bar!", "My System Bar disappeared". Help. I Just locked myself in the car and I have no keys... LOL!
And people are just discovering this NOW? Wow. There is so LITTLE to get excited about with this "Awesome new features" update (Gary Key's comment was: " Updates and fixes galore for the lack of better words.") that I think I found all the "New and exciting features in about a minute and 22 seconds, LOL! I posted about the lock thing 2 minutes after downloading. I guess I was just expecting more... Sigh. And where, pray tell is Face Lock? The "Receive Notifications on Lock Screen was a ruse, all they did was unlock the quick setting menu while on lock screen.
Big. Friggin. Whoop. Asus, Fix my Keyboard/Typing entry so when I am on XDA, trying to make this device better, the cursor doesn't constantly jump to the first character position in the text box. This has been happening since release, and no FW release has helped in the slightest, .11 through .21 inclusive.
You need to enable it.
Settings | Asus Customised Setting | SYSTEM BAR
The you'll get a little grey dot in the middle, hit it and it turns into a lock.
This is the best thing that could happen to my (and other) writing apps. So many users have complained about accidentally hitting the system menu while writing. It should really be a default option in Android. Maybe they will consider letting us hide the system bar completely.

You can buy it with your phone or any other device, make a Titanium backup, copy the backup to the prime and restore it. I did it with my DesireHD and on the prime i even have the Tablet adapted version.
Btw if you play it with a gamepad and USB/BT joystick center it actually feels like a real game
Speaking of Face Unlock, I rather like Samsung's impending implementation with the 'blink' feature. Should help counter those pesky photograph unlocks we've all been subject to... or not. :-/

I have the system bar lock off because I don't care for it , but when I watch a video or do something else that dims the system bar buttons (and turns them to dots)the middle dot appears and doesn't do anything. Bug? Or am I missing something.

Doesn't work right when tablet sleeps
i though it was handy, and tried it. Then my tablet went to sleep and when I woke it up the unlock spot was GONE! I was stuck in the kindle app.
I had to go and get the keyboard and connect it, use the settings button there, and disable the system bar lock function for it to come back.
I tried playing around with the feature since, the unlock reliably disappears whenever the tablet goes to sleep, but flicking around near the bottom for a while can make it unlock.

Nova Launcher Issue

Something I noticed about a week ago, and that I've yet to figure out the cause of, is that trying to switch the app drawer icon's image while running Nova is no longer working. It does when you first install Nova, or after clearing the data, however it eventually stops working. Instead, holding down the icon's image in the edit pop-up makes the screen hang for a second (like it's going to open the icon preview screen) then revert back to the edit pop-up. A few others mentioned this over on Droid Life, so thankfully I don't appear to be the only one.
Any idea what may be causing this little glitch over time?

Hmm that's strange.. No problems at all here with Nova Prime. I've switched the app drawer icon many times and doesn't happen.
Maybe try clearing cache/Dalvic for the entire phone not just Nova data, may help may not
- Tapatalked from the G3
Been running Nova since day 3 so 3 and a half weeks at least (later upgraded to Nova Prime) and no such issue...
If it were happening constantly I think it'd be a little easier to pinpoint an issue. Best I can tell though, it only crops up after changing the icon pack a few times. Also, adding another app drawer shortcut to the home screen does not alleviate the problem either. Something is causing it to randomly lock up, and I believe it may have something to do with LG's stock software. Granted the only evidence I have to back that up stems from never having issues with any of my other devices and the fact that there is little to no reference of this in conjunction with Nova to be found on the web.

This is what I get for posting a topic after not searching for another answer since mid July when I first noticed it xD. Curious that it would require moving back to stock. That makes me believe it really is something in the code on LG's part that is causing it. Hopefully Nova can find a workaround for it.
