I have experienced a issue where sometimes when i'm on a game and when i switch off the screen for a while running the game in the background, the system will not switch on the screen what so ever, i tryed force power off and on and it worked BUT today, it was different, the issue occured on the homescreen,
I tryed the same thing but something strange and shooking happened, when it gone to the Sony screen, in the corner it says:
error (00x00010300).
I did not know that its possible for the Sony Tablet S but it just did, text appeared in the Sony screen just like how the ASUS Transformer can.
Anyway on topic, when i forced power off and on, it managed to boot successfully.
Did anyone experienced such error?, no one had such error has no such thing has i searched on google.
I have a feeling i'm the first person to get the Sony splash screen error

I was not home since then so i couldn't take a picture of the screen or make note of the error so i'm not sure if the error code i typed in the title in the thread is correct, it was from memory but yeah, i'm wondering what the error code means

Iv seen that with the OG evo also, as well as my 3vo
Having the same problem. Probably will carry it in next week for replacement. Already took it in once and they said wait for a couple of weeks to see if HTC/Sprint release a software update. It's starting to get very annoying and unusable. Very much ruining the experience of having a powerful smartphone.
i have it too with my gsm version , the upper part of mine screen is sometimes not responsive

i wonder if this is related at all to the screen grounding issues which they originally had in the HTC EVO. the end result of the screen grounding issue was parts of the screen were unresposive...
i do remember they patched something in an update which fixed that issue.
i remember there was a test for the screen grounding issue but i barely remember how it worked. i'm sure there are older threads on it as it was a fairly big deal when the device first came out. the test had something to do with drawing lines or something on the screen?
might not be helfpul, but figured it was worth mentioning. i haven't had any issues on my evo 3d so its hard for me to troubleshoot and compare...
at least replacing the phone will be a decent solution until we can find out more about this issue ... sad it seems to be fairly common.
Hello,
Just got mine and I am mostly happy with it but have found an issue with the touch screen having a dead zone.
Mine was shipped with 8.8.3.27 which was not rootable so I started playing with my device and found a huge dead zone area that effected all applications. This has made me want to return my device but I said .29 has been knocking let me see if this fixes it and before I post on XDA.
After updating to 8.8.3.29 the dead zone went away and the only thing it can be was the update or the reboot. I should have rebooted first but I applied the update.
The dead zone when held horizontal was at the top right if holding in portrait mode the dead zone is still there and was above the clock on right hand side about 25% of the way up.
The app I used was "Multitouch Visual Tester" and would like someone to confirm as not only did this seem to fix my dead zone but the touch screen is a bit more responsive now.

mine is on ,29 after I updated the first day I got it on 12/22. you can manually "Check" to see if there's an update. go to settings, then about tablet, then system updates. once in there, press tab that says check for update. I check on a daily basis to see if anything new pops up. don't want to wait till prime finally decides to tell me there's one..lol
I'm having similar problem, but I'm already on .29. Trying that app right now.

I understand that, i have been trying to do that, but it see's no update. So I am stuck on the .27, O'well. I am going to try and return it here in a week or so and get another one and hope I get a later batch then when this one was made.
You can manually update to .29 go to Asus support down the newest update and unzip it then drag the files to your SD card stick it in the prime and a notification should pop up to update.
Its pretty simple if the card don't read reboot the prime and it should work.

that app just tests the screen to make sure it registers mulitouch. it fixes nothing..lol that guy was say updating to. 29 fixed his deadzone. not the app. he just used app to confirm it was fixed. I got the mulitouch and prime registers 10 point mulitouch everywhere on screen.

that's very strange you on an older version and your prime hasn't prompted you to update through OTA. almost everyone I seen here got prompted almost immediately.
Hol up, lol you might have the version that can be rooted with RazorClaw. give it a shot n see what happens. worse case scenario is that it tells you. an error that it can't be rooted with razorclaw.

Correct i am looking for someone still on .27 to see if the deadzone exist.
I found it just with one finger dragging it back and forth, like i said it rather went away with update or the reboot.

Thank you, it must have been a fluke. If anyone else gets dead zones chime in.
I've been having this issue myself. I have updated to .29 and still no help. After using Multitouch test, I noticed a few dead areas in the top left area below the Asus logo. Tried eveything I could to fix the issue. I noticed after browsing the web for a while, the whole area below the Asus logo (about 2 inches by 2 inches) would become unresponsive. If I hit the power button and unlocked the unit, that dead area would go away. I've already contacted Asus for an RMA and will ship it tomorrow. I would have taken it back to Gamestop but it doesn't look like I could get my hands on another one for a while anyways.
I got a new transformer prime a couple of days ago, and I'm happy to report it has no wifi, GPS or Bluetooth issues
but it has a 3 stuck pixels in a 1.5cm area, which is covered under warranty, atleast as I understand
My thing is I wanna keep it. Is there anyway to 'wake them up' like you could with iOS products thru a cydia app
Thanks in advance
EDIT REASON: oops! I originally called the pixels dead. Thanks for getting me to notice that

Nope, you can't raise pixels from the dead.
If you don't believe me, you can try a pixel fixing app (like this one: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.htc.chris.blackspotdetect&feature=search_result) and see if it helps you, however if your pixel is actually dead (and not just stuck) there likely isn't any software that will fix it.

I tried your application but the stuck pixels are in the lower bar and your application won't rotate. I found another app that does.
Should I put the time in to try to fix them, or are these apps useless?

Some people say these apps work ad other say it doesn't fix their issue.
If you have an hour or two to spend trying to fix it, I would say it couldn't hurt anything to try. If it doesn't work then you should still be able to go the RMA route.

hey, just wondering what happened? did you RMA?
I bought a used transformer, and it has light bleed, and at least 8 stuck pixels [mostly only viewable on Black] scattered around, some smaller, some bigger.
can I RMA it? I'm not even sure about the warranty but I assume it's been less than a year from the original purchase..
Hello, i just bought my i9300 a few weeks ago. All seemed normal when i noticed that when i was viewing a gray screen ( e.g. a game loading ) or anything that wasnt completely black, there were some spots in my screen. I thought at first that it was some graphics or glitch from the game, but then tried loading another game with a similar gray screen and they were still there. They arent scratches or anything like that ,it seems that its from inside the digitalizer. I dont know if i can even put a photo of that, because its not easily visible. My phone obviously has its warrany voided due to some rooting. If i flash the stock firmware, unroot it and run triangleaway, do you think i would be able to swap it for a brand new?
Hey mate, I have the exact same problem I keep thinking it's my eyes or something but I guess if your seeing it as well maybe its a problem with the device?
Do you also see the screen sort of flickering at certain points?
Well documented problem with many handsets..

Huh? I hope you are talking about Samsung and her Baby i9300 ?
I just bought a SGP311 (US Wifi 32G). When researching what tablet to buy, I did see some reference to phantom screen touches when flexing the screen, but I think the video said it was cleared up by firmware updates.
Mine is running .370, which I understand to be the newest available for the SGP311 (25 Aug 2013).
I find the phantom touches so sensitive and terrible that I can't believe there is not more stink about this on the internet. For example, if I'm holding the tablet with two hands and reach away with one hand, the resulting pressure from holding the tablet with the other hand causes touches all over the screen, wreaking havoc on whatever I'm doing. It even happens if I push "too hard" e.g. when playing a game excitedly.
Do I have a particularly bad unit for this? Is there a way to fix or mitigate this?
As it is, I don't think I can keep it - it's just too frustrating to use. If I hold it lightly and with two hands it's fine, but anything else - there's a high probability of touches all over the screen, especially in the Back button area
Mine doesn't do it. Or I'm not holding it "incorrectly"
Can you link to/upload a video showing this behaviour? You may want to turn on developer options->show touches to get an idea of what touches the device sees.
I have the same problem as the original poster...
Bought mine today and was messing around with it. Then I noticed the tablet 'doing stuff on its own'. After a quick test I realised I could reproduce the error by holding it in landscape and twisting it slightly. This resulted in either the back button being activated (lower left corner activated / pushed) or the settings notification area popping up (lower right corner activated).
So I guess they should have used a stiffer material as the back cover. But then again it seems almost inconceivable that the testers wouldn't have encountered this issue, if it was universal... so I'm guessing that our units are faulty - sonofabitch!
At the same time its my very unqualified guess that it isn't something which can be fixed by new firmware.
Edit: Just thought of something ... perhaps thats why the UI of the new firmware has changed? No more 'buttons' in the lower corners (as far as Im aware).

I had these same issues with mine when i got it but the update did actually fix mine so its possible that, if you are on the 370 update, that yours is extra sensitive. I have done quite a few flex tests to try to make it happen again and just can't get it to repeat after the update.
I would contact either the place you bought it from if it is within the return/exchange policy or Sony and exchange it.

Im using 10.1.C.0.370 - tablet came with that installed.
For once I actually bought electronics in a physical store (5mins walk away) so I'll go there and get them to replace it - and also test their demo model.
The demo model had the same issues. It also seems the issue is quite widespread judging by the Xperia tablet Z support forum.
The same happens un my LTE 16Gb .244 black versión...
It happens ramdomly, above allí while attached to Power stock charger, but not always...
If Sony doesn't want us to unlock bootloaders and install other ROMs tan stock, why they release such a crappy firmware?
It also happens in my c6603 sometimes un the same conditions as my Tablet, so i think is firmware related
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
So that's what's happening
I am having the exact same issue, in fact I didn't realize it was the flexing that was causing the issue until I read this thread. Now I can reproduce it consistently. I am so bummed, I LOVE this tablet, Sony has a lot of great stuff they put into this tablet and the form factor is amazing. I am pretty disappointed though because this makes it pretty hard to use. I checked and I am running the latest firmware. For what they charge for this thing you would think it would be a better piece of hardware. Back to Best Buy I go I supposed.

Mine is doing it right now! And I'm not even holding it, it's Sat in its dock. Mostly on the right hand side of the screen and bottom right corner (in landscape mode)..kk
That capital S of sat, and the ..kk above was done by these ghost touches.

Its really noticeable on 4.1.2 and 4.2.2?

My brand new Tablet Z running 4.2.2 is acting out aswell. When in portrait mode, it seems obsessed with ghost tapping home or return...
Edit: Turned screen "logging" on. Dammit, the screen goes haywire at just the tiniest bit of flexing - even when NOT flexing... Sigh.
I've gone back to the correct fw for mine and it's settled down a bit, it still does it now and then, but nowhere near as much as it used to.

Actually got my Tablet Z replaced at the Sony dealer, no questions asked. (Kudos for service!) For some reason the new tablet seems to be doing much better than the "old" one.
I got 5 of these in for our staff - 2 of them have the same issue.
Phantom button pressing happens when not even touching them! Going to try and swap these over..
