Hi
I've had my prime for quite a while now.
And since day one, the screen will turn on by itself several times a day.
(when in standby mode)
I have had this behavior on 3 different roms.
Current rom is EOS 2.0
Does anyone have an idea of what can cause this? Most likely an app that wakes the device.. So i have tried disabling facebook etc..
But are there any sensors that might wake it?
Also, if its an app or process - are there any apps or monitoring tools that can find out what exactly happened at the moment it woke ?
It's likely caused by an app. My old phone used to do this and my prime did it a couple times but hasn't since I reformatted it. What app it was I am unsure.
Same thing happens to my prime. I have gotten used to it. Turning the screen off again will do lol.

True enough, but when you are at work all day, and comes home to a discharged prime every day, you will get annoyed
It's all about the battery...
I noticed something odd yesterday.
If you slide the transformer over the docking, back and fourth - the screen will wake and close.
Its as if they are aware of each other. wierdness!
Anyhow, I thought I had found the solution to my problem with it waking up all the time. (I always have it lying on top of the docking, face up)
But no such luck, it still wakes byitself anywhere is lies. With reformatted ROM, no apps!

When you attach the pad to the dock, and close the lid, the pad will turn off the scren, like a netbook.

True enough.
But I mean, just placing your prime on the docking with the screen facing up. Not connecting the hinges.
Slide it horizontaly upwards against the hinges, and back again.
Then it will lit the display, and close it.. Just try it.

Ok, so aside from a few barely noticeable dead pixels, my TF Prime is fine.
But 3-4 times I've had this weird issue... the TF will all of a sudden start freaking out, flipping screens back and forth, tapping on app icons, keyboard keys, etc. It's as if a ghost has taken over my Prime, lol... what the??
Just happens at random, doesn't seem to be a particular app or action that's setting it off. Has happened while using the stock browser, Evernote, and typing an email.
Anyone else seeing this? Some kind of software glitch, or do you think I got a dodgy touchscreen?
By any chance, do you have the keyboard dock attached? On a few occasions, I've had the palm of my hand kind of resting on the mouse pad and that will set it off - not a tablet flaw, it's just my hand in the wrong place. Without the dock, I've managed to accomplish the same "flaw" by resting my thumb too close to the screen. With a sensitive capacitive screen, you just need to be really close to the screen to set it off. If not, then you have a real problem.
Bye.
No, I'm not lucky enough to own the dock yet, got one on pre-order, lol.
It's not just one tap or two, I mean the thing just flips out, scrolling home screens back and forth, typing automatically on the keyboard, etc., like it's possessed or something... on auto-pilot. It will go on indefinitely, and the screen will become unresponsive to my own taps. The only way to stop it is by doing a hard reboot by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.
Now that I think about it, probably a touchscreen hardware issue... seems like it's "holding" the tap on, not releasing the tap off when it happens. I guess I'm gonna return it next week, ugh.
I qwas having this problem also but it started happening after i put on a skinomi screen protector. People thought i got water in tablet but maybee that wasnt the problem. If your having same problem.

I've had that happen many times on my Nook Color. Drives me nuts. Certain games trigger it for me. Or sometimes it seems to be caused by my hand touching the screen or more than 2 points ( which is all my NC can handle )
Found that if I turn the device to sleep mode and wipe screen good, it usually fixes the issue. Either that or sometimes I have to reboot and it is normal again.
Glad I'm not the only one with a possessed tablet.
For the second time since I got my Prime yesterday, my screen has had a slow flickering fit. The soft buttons disappeared but still responded to touches, and the screen would flicker very tiny lines of color and slightly bounce at the edges. Anyone else experience this?

I'm not sure that it's a defect. I figure I'll give it some more time first. Also, it started happening after I installed 2 apps that weren't listed the market, which I sideloaded onto the tablet, so I'm wondering if they may have had something to do with it. I've since uninstalled them and will monitor the situation.

Wipe/factory reset it. If that doens't fix it, send it back for exchange/refund. I wouldn't want them trying to diagnose a wonky problem, get a fresh tablet.
Also, even though the flickering seems like it would be a hardware problem, the fact that the soft buttons disappear and the area turnaround black leads me to believe that it's some type of software problem, not a hardware defects.

I get it on some web pages and a lot on the bottom of the screen watching YouTube. I just started to get it while booting. It did a restart on me this morning. Factory reset sucks without nandroid. Asus, please let us root this....

I suspect that incompatible apps may have something to do with this. I sideloaded two unsupported apps and I got the flicker shortly after that. I uninstalled them yesterday and so far, so good. Also, I was getting a ton of reboots and crashes when I initially automatically loaded all of my phone apps onto the Prime. I did a factory reset and carefully chose my apps, and it's been much more stable since.
All of You just disable the auto brightness and the flickering is gone ;P

Thanks, but I'm talking about something different. It's a little hard to explain, but I wasn't complaining of flickering brightness. Rather, the picture itself would get all scrambled up.

Wow. So this EXACT thing just happened to me. I have no sideloaded apps and auto brightness is disabled. Over the course of several minutes, it went from a few glitchy lines to the entire screen and a complete lockup of the tablet. I held down the power button to reboot, and then came to find this thread...

I have the same problem. I had to reboot, since the tablet completely froze at one point with random lines across the screen.
Ever since I do see flickering of the Asus logo when booting but no more serious problems, such as a crash.
I will go on a two week busines trip outside the country and therefore womt return the TP - just hope it will not get worse.
That said, I am happy learn about a possible fix?

I have always had the glitching during bboot as well...but I've been staring at this thing almost non stop since the 22nd and this is the first time it has occurred. Dunno what's up but it makes me uneasy.

Hopefully it's nothing more than a graphics driver glitch that can be fixed with an update.

I am too, very uneasy with this issue.
Decided to do a last hard reset and if the flicker does not go away, I will return the TP tomorrow morning.
I hope that the hard reset will take care of the problem.
The boot up graphics flicker has been reported by others on another forum as well, they did note that it doesn't occur if you boot up with the Prime plugged in.
i've also noticed this problem, flickering/scrambling on boot during the ASUS bootup screen.. and i've also had quite a few random lockups, force closes and reboots... looks software related to me
firmware update this morning seems to have fixed the boot and browser flicker. Anyone else?

I put a skinomi skin protector on and after that touch screen stopped working. I took it off and screen is still not working.

Well, hard reset may help you fix this ASUS Transformer Prime touchscreen not responding issue: 1. Unplug the power cord and shut the unit off and Press and Hold the power button and the "Down" volume button together for 6-10 seconds and let them both go. 2. Wait a few more seconds until the term "Cold Boot" appears in the list near the top of the screens and just press and release the "Down" volume button again and let it reboot. If you own the dock be sure and do this with the dock connected.
Nevermind its not working again

Maybe you spayed too much application solution that got inside tablet? dip it in a bag of rice may help..
This is funny.. play by play of what is happening
Hard reset and wait.
I went into my email and it started deleting emails
That's a wet screen protector, right? Definitely sounds like water damage. Same thing happened to me with the original Droid phone. Power it off, put it in a bowl of rice over night, and cross your fingers.

wasn't the Prime's gorilla glass enough protection eliminating the need for a screen protector in the first place?

I had a problem with my screen that was bad enough to cause me to return it. It was amazing in every other way, but the screen problem was a deal breaker. I'm gonna give it some time before I try again.

Asus transpformer prime half touch screen not working
Hi
i have read a lot of the forums but no one else has mentioned this problem. My TF201 seems to have a unique problem, only the left half of the touch screen works. it becomes very annoying and i cant seem to find a solution.
I have let the battery discharge and then then restarted it after some charging but no Joy
Please guys Help and suggestions would be much appreciated.

Open prime and push in the cables into the lcd.. they must be loose. I had the same issue when i replaced a new screen.

So the latest update did correct most of the banding issues but im still having some glitches when doing some things like half the screen will go away for a second them come right back, it does this very randomly. i also noticed this when playing games like shine runner, it will completely lock up. I included a video of what its doing, its weird in the video it would only do it by using the mouse but when doing it on the home screen if the recent apps filled up all the way to the top of the screen it will do it every time whether I use the mouse or touch. I have only had any of the problems since ICS so i know its probably a bug, anyone else having these issues?

ok i figured it was a bug, its not too big of an issue but i would like to see it fixed soon.
i have this same problem also. it mostly occurs when i'm using youtube. hope they fix it soon because its annoying!
have the same issue it does it for me as well in Google talk, but YouTube is the worse i get a constant flicker for like 2 seconds.
Same for me too, I think I read that Asus stated it was some of the Prime's hardware drivers having incompadability issues with Ice Cream Sandwich (hence no problems with Honeycomb). Anyhow, I believe they stated that they should have an update to fix the issue in February...hopefully early Feb.!

..same here and only seen with Youtube..
Anybody pinged Gary Key or ASUS about it?

Ditto, only rarely and seemingly random but I feel it might be after I've just plugged or unplugged the dock.
Similar issue here though it manifests as very thin bands covering only the left 1 inch of the screen and only when scrolling up and down. This is not a constant problem,but not rare either. Shows up in either orientation. I also occasionally get artifacting usually in the form of a momentary white triangle when I use the task switcher button.
Both of these only started occurring after the most recent update: .11 on 1/17. Before that I had never noticed any screen problems.

I have this bug like you... This bug is on ICS. But my bug is like triangle on screen
Just wanted to be added to the list of users having this problem. The longer i have this tablet, the more issues i run into.
Hope a fix comes in the next few weeks, or Amazon get's it back.
Wanted to bump this thread because it seems like an issue some people are having, but it's not widespread enough that it's gathering the attention that the GPS/WiFi/Bluetooth issues are getting.
Personally I'm getting the diagonal screen flicker on the home screen, especially when pressing the recent apps button. Someone noted in a thread somewhere that this is most common when there are a lot of apps stocked up in there. It also seems to happen a lot more frequently when the dock is plugged in, even without touching the recent apps button - it just happens randomly.
Has anyone tried a factory reset to assuage this? That's probably my next step.
Edit: Come to think of it, I didn't notice any screen flickering until I plugged my tablet into the dock for the first time. Can anyone else with this issue confirm they've been using a dock? I might try something like a factory reset with full battery on both dock and tablet, maybe that'll make a difference...input, please, someone
Still having the same issues after todays update...
Ok, so...apparently, when I touch the recent apps button or when I click down on the mousepad, that's when the flicker occurs. When I just touch the touchpad without clicking, the flicker doesn't happen. What the hell? At least that's got me pretty well convinced that it's a software thing.

Before the update everything was fine. No issue at all. It starts for me after the update. Also made my GPS worse. Wifi is the same (they just change the signal icon to look that my connection is full). So far no reboots or lockups.

I have the screen flicker on
1. Youtube
2. When I am using the dolphin live wallpaper (one that came installed stock)
AS of now youtube is still crashing
Im having the same issue. I just bought my prime yesterday and noticed it while running the SKYRIM live wallpaper. I don't have a dock either so i can confidently say that's not the cause to MY problem (can't say for sure about others) and it happens when pressing recent app list or the settings in the bottom right corner.
Not functional threatening but visually annoying. I love the TFP though I have it next to me at work and im ITCHING to just play with the damn thing. We need more atttention to this.
I just started getting a screen flicker about every 10 seconds with a live wallpaper on. They must have "fixed" the problem with the last update.
Anyone found any solutions for this?
looks like the latest update fixed it, will know for sure after i put it through its paces.
I just bought a archos 101 g9 when it was on sale on woot last week and so far it is working pretty good, however I have an annoying problem with it.
If it has been sleeping for over a few minutes (regular sleep, not the deep sleep) and I wake it back up the touch screen goes crazy. The bottom left corner keeps detecting a touch event. It will cycle from multiple on/off touches a second to one on/off every few seconds. If I rotate the tablet to portrait, it will start scrolling the screen none stop to the left. So far the only fix is to do a reboot.
It does not happen every time, just occasionally when I wake it up from sleep.
Today i got a case for it, and whenever it is in the case, the touch screen goes crazy. Same touch events in that same area.
I am guessing something is wrong with the digitizer. Anyone else seen this problem before?
Have the same problem, and as I've read on xda and archosfans forums, this isn't an uncommon issue. We'll just have to wait for a firmware update, as rebooting seems to fix it, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.

Sensitive Touch
I have similar problems with the touchscreen. If I'm holding it with one hand by a corner, it detects touch. The rest of the time it is a little jittery and releases or double taps in games. It's still not a deal breaker, though.
I hope we don't have to swap digitizers to fix it.

I'll give that a try and see if that works. I just got a case and as soon as it is in the case it is even worse.
EDIT: I installed a calibration app on xda and it really made it worse!
What app are you using to calibrate it?
I have a similar issue sometimes.
For me the fix is simply to clean the screen.
The strange thing is, it happens even when the screen doesn't appear to be especially dirty but I put the tablet to sleep, give the screen a serious clean with a microfibre cloth and the touchscreen issues vanish.
Could be a different issue to what you guys are having but the symptoms are the same and it's an easy 'fix' to try.
Hope it helps.

Thanks, I had not noticed that area in the settings before. Recalibrating it in the cover has helped a lot.
I pretty much had this since day 1......
The current state is ; it doesn't work at all then all of a sudden It will pop back into life and then pretty much go "mental" as already described, I also found it reacts poorly to minor temperature variations, i.e going from outside to inside and general day to day travelling. Recalibrating used to "help" but now has no effect.
From watching the debug logs part of me thinks it's a bit of both, hardware and software ( just a hunch ) I noticed the driver fail to get a "ping" response from the hardware a couple of times.
I've pratically given up on it myself and plugged a keyboard and mouse in via a hub on the full size usb...... The hub has now stopped working for some reason , I'm now on a OTG Keyboard with a Virtual Mouse Driver using the numeric keypad and some adb input trickery ,
I've got another touch screen/digitizer to plug in, just not got round to putting it in yet and a little part of me is starting to enjoy finding more elaborate ways of interacting with the device... :laugh:
Does anyone know who the OEM of the digitizer Unit is? My previous investigation led me to china but information seems to be thin on the ground with this one
