In this thread, you can complain about your own problems. Also, you can help other people so they stop griping. But really. Feel free to ask questions. Such as:
Does anybody else have issues when switching screens?
For example, on some launchers (occasionally even Asus', others including nova and apex) , the icon/sprites get smaller when undocking from the tablet.
Answer other people's questions if you know how.
Thanks,

idk where on xda i read that the whole dynamic display feature relies heavily on zen ui ( asus ui ) .. so without it it wont be as smooth as we expect it to be. Heres a huge bug ive noticed... art runtime wont work at all !
I tried ART and got into a bootloop. :sly:

I've noticed that certain widgets when placed on the phone screen will cause a 20-25 second delay in launching tablet mode. I've also noticed that Asus launcher will display error messages and Android system error messages.
I've attached 3 screenshots.

Could you remind me, what exactly is dynamic display? Is it just the tab?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using the XDA app
Dynamic display is in display settings that allows you to add apps to a list so the tablet can transition between phone and tablet mode without a popup message saying you need to restart the app. It's a compatibility list

Are most of the issues about Dynamic Display concerning when switching from phone mode to tablet mode and vice a versa? If so, I do not understand the emphasis this has gotten. It is rare I need an app to stay open when switching, I think because as the unit is being switched I am also in transition. Usually this means closing out an app, then undocking the phone, putting it in my pocket, and off I go.The apps I may use during the transition, the call and text apps, do seem to transfer well. The pop-up menu can be disabled. Apps seem to display well in both the phone and tablet mode when not switching.
I realize some users could find this problematic but the issue seems a bit overblown. I would think my experience of use would be the rule rather than the exception.
Your thoughts.

I've had that same error multiple times on the phone screen when I remove it out of the tablet dock. In addition to that error
I have a certain procedure when inserting the phone into the tablet dock.
1 - I pull up the gallery and click on any picture
2 - with the picture in full screen I insert the phone in the tablet dock
3 - the picture shows itself in all its glory in the tablet and then i can hit home and end up on the tablet home screen
The KICKER I can't let the tablet screen time out or press the screen off button or else the tablet never comes back on....
I have to remove the phone from the dock and I get the android.ui error message on the screen.
I can't put the phone in with screen off, or device off or it will never display, very annoying and hopefully will be resolved by Asus.
Considering this is Asus's 5th or 6th gen of this device, you would tend to believe that they got the whole phone tablet dock errors
resolved. But I'm sure errors resurface when ever there is a new android os.
Has anyone else experience the same problems as me?
In any webpages in Chrome I get a crash when switching
Art issues here as well, i dont get a bootloop, mine just hangs on the boot logo. I left it for about 40 mins knowing the art runtime takes a while to switch over, but i finally got frustrated, had to factory reset from the recovery menu. Tried with fastboot enabled and disabled, no luck either way

chile5o,
Mine does the same thing where the tablet will freeze up and then won't turn back on after the error messages. Then I get an unresponsive black screen. This is my 2nd unit as I exchanged one already for the same issue and Both do the same thing. I Don't know if it is a software or hardware issue. Some apps and widgets apparently don't play nice with the the padfone station.

It appears that you both have some huge problems. Many of my issues were resolved when getting Padfone Switcher and Padfone Controller. They are both results under "padfone" the search bar in the play store. (Sorry for lack of links)
You can control which launcher for the phone and the tab. I chose Nova for phone, Asus/Apex for tablet.
Tell me if your issues are still occurring (post configuring the apps, of course)

So I have noticed this on a few apps now. Sprint family locator & SwiFTP. When you open them it doesn't fill the entire screen. It's smaller, also my LiveBlackjack 21 game by dragon the menu fills up the entire screen but the deal button no longer shows at the bottom. Any settings that can be changed or will this have to be fixed from the dev side?

It didn't help. I noticed this with Photobucket and an NES emulator.
I'm getting the same thing with the Droid auctions app.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
My best guess is the "qHD" display is not support it by android natively that's why I'm kind of afraid getting the phone so , spare parts is a fix but it should have been fix from the beginning
Were gonna have to email the app devs and let them know what's up.
I had a few apps that did this...TD Bank, Spare parts, and 1 or 2 others. The spare parts option fixed all of them. Some apps are probably not programmed to take advantage of qHD, and thus its the devs fault, not HTC/Android. Maybe im wrong on that count, but thats my guess.
Spare parts kinda works for some aps, it didn't fix blackjack and kinda fixed family locator. The map came up full screen and then after you try and do a locate it gets all jacked. Hopefully these aps will get fixed soon.
Same with datpiff music app.

^^What this guy says...
FWIW, I've been setting up custom icons on most of my apps and I noticed the ones that don't support the new res have a generic "drawable" folder vs the others having "drawable hdpi," "drawable mdpi," and "drawable ldpi." The 3D uses the HDPI setup...
notice that on radar now app, I think apps will soon have updates on this issue.
It seems to freeze up a lot. I will select apps and they do nothing, same with downloads from the market. They just hang at showing them as downloading.
I use SPB Shell and sometimes when it does this it will also stick between pages rather than just flinging to the next it will actually just stop in between pages until you continue to scroll though.
When I select links to open, it does nothing until I actually open the browser. I have only had the phone for a few days and it worked fine, now its doing all these weird things.
Anyone got any suggestions or ideas, let me know otherwise I'm afraid I may be taking it back...
Something may be wrong with the phone. I haven't experienced none of that. Even out the box. Actually its been so fast for me that if I experience the littlest bit of lag it drives me nuts. Might be hard ware related.

LOL dude you have the data guard enabled. There is a setting in their that holds downloads and other things in a queue until you are using WiFi in order to save battery. Just disable that and you'll be on your way And the SPB Mobile Shell problem is probably a problem with the app. Contact the developer and tell them about it. There aren't many nVidia Tegra 2 phones out there so it's not very likely they have done much testing on the architecture. Also, what kind of links are you talking about? Like a link you receive in a text message?

I used to have the same problem with apps not responding after pressing. I was using adw launcher I reverted back to stock and everything is good now. Emailed the developer about the compatability and waiting for an answer but the photon is good otherwise
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Yeah it really sounds like you have Data Saver enabled which is located under Battery & data manager in the phone settings. If not you may want to exchange the phone as faulty. I have a lot of issues which my Photon: stuttering during music playback, random reboots (twice in 2 weeks so far), and feedback when using the audio out (buzzing / static). These seem to be common problems but the performance issues you are mentioning do not seem normal from what I have read in these forums.

You would be correct. Although i went from the Hero to an LG Optimus S, and now the Photon.
No problems like that with SPB Shell here. Check the data saver mode. You can also try changing the vm heap to 48 or 64. Mine is on 64 but never had an issue with the stock setting either.
Update...
It does appear that it was SPB Shell which sucks because I was really liking it. I will send a message to the dev and see what happens. The funny thing is that is was working great the first few days that I was using it and then started acting up which was why I didn't thing it was SPB

How do you get it that high? I am using VM Heap Tool and the highest it will let me check is 48.
It's not data saver. Or it shouldn't be. It's an Android flaw.
I've had an Incredible, Thunderbolt and then Photon. Which means I've used a few Android phones over a couple of networks (more if you consider the 4G's as their own networks).
99% of the time my phones work fine. Every so often it will stall downloading an app, or an email will just sit on sending for a longggg time. Unless I am recreating the same conditions over three phones and two networks I think this just happens every once and a while.

I'm glad you found the issue, this right here always tells me it was something you installed that caused the problem. When it worked fine out of the box and then....
Just watch what you install, install one app at a time and see how it flows for awhile after each app. Yes, it may take awhile to get all your apps on but you will know what apps are causing you issues! Like a previous poster said, there aren't many T2 phones, so just be careful what you install!
Glad you found the problem!

Hey people,
I`ve noticed that some apps seem to load upside down on the tablet(seem to be mostly apps that are designed for phone android)
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to resolve this?
Cheers
I have seen this happen with a few select apps, Sports Illustrated and Time Magazine in particular. Even the XDA app starts sideways, then rotates back to the right spot.
Can,t say i,ve encountered that problem yet. All apps install for me without any problem
IT happens with the Antipaper Notes HD app as well as 50 languages and the games nano panda and Blast monkeys.
I dont mind if apps only work in portrait but I`d prefer the other way around :s
Happened to me too and the problem was i could not get out of them so had to reset the device with a pin on the side. Don't remember what they were as i uninstalled them immediately
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using Tapatalk
I havent had that happen, but i do run into a problem, when i try to download an app sometimes, it wil say its downloading, but thats all it does, i have to back out, click download again then it wil finally install. Sometimes i will click download and it closes the market out completely and randomly opens an app from my library.
Happens to me as well. Mostly phone apps.

CAN ANYONE CONFIRM IF THESE APPS ARE WORKING ON OTHER TABS??!!!??
on other tablets, it doesn't matter since they are symmetrical. For right-handed people, it's natural to hold it with the left hand and on the Sony tablet it feels awkward to hold it in portrait mode by the thin side. A number of apps (like the Tapatalk app) load upside down but then flip correctly and some (the official Flickr) run only upside down (at least for righties)

put it in your other hand.
You can use the app orientation control as a workaround
I assume you're holding it thick side in your left hand? Default landscape for apps is so the top of the phone/device is on the left side so portrait would be thick side on the right. Nothing strange, just Androids default.

The only bug I seem to have found with my new Galaxy S3 might just be a setting I cant find. Basically when ever you use pinch to open the edit screen (where is shows how many screens you have and which is the home screen) the phone says it out loud. Even when I have the audio muted it still talks and tells me what screen I just clicked on.
Is there somewhere to turn this off? VERY annoying.
Have you installed lightflow on your phone ? It was causing my phone to do this as well until I uninstalled it
Yeah that was it. Hope they fix that.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
It's not directly related to using Lightflow, but rather to adding apps as accessibility services (which Light flowers unfortunately requires to work). That means it's an Android issue which will hopefully be fixed at some point.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Wow i just got this too - scared the hell out of me! Is this the ONLY quirk of Lightflow? If so, i can live with it i guess.
Ours the only annoying thing I've found so far. Happens as well if you turn accessibility on in tasker. So yeah, it's not as such lightflows fault. Only seems to affect me when opening and closing folders, and when going into hone screen edit, which I don't use anyway. I just avoid those things.
lightflow developer has raised the issue with google, and if you find where you can 'star' it which add you as sometime who wants it fixed. As yet google haven't fixed it.

Hi,
I have been playing with my xperia z2 for over a month now, i have 2 major issues.
1. When i am in facebook playing video, it will then show up a message saying "Sorry, but an unknown error occurred while trying to play this video"
i have tried clearing the cache or uninstall facebook. The best result is for those video that cannot be played in the beginning, it now can play but problem switched to another video
2. when talking on the phone, background noise is always higher than my voice no matter if i turned on the enhancement to reduce the background voice. It will get even worse if it is off.
any solutions to that?
I agree with you about facebook video playback. It really gets on my nerves!!! But also if u r using streaming videos on ur browser also. Same problem. I hope they fix this stupid problem.
Also proximity sensor bug. The phone sceen blackens during a call but u actually accidently click things while ur phone is on ur ears.
One lousy bug is the sound. The phone's sound volume is very loud but at sometimes all of a sudden it becomes muffled by itself and gets so low!
The one i hate most is a bug with messaging. Sometimes it doesn't becomes sooo delayed when u try opening a msg or even doesn't want to open at all.
Another one is the hotspot. Sometimes it doesn't want to be enabled. U have to restart the phone to enable it.
I have an htc one m8 and it's more stable concerning software, but i really love my Z2.
I hope they fix these bugs esp. video and msg bugs!!!

my friend had this camera issue before, he have done all the things you have done before.
the only option is to return the phone to Sony for repair, it takes less than 4 hours even on sunday (local agreement of repairing)
so it wasn't that bad...
Issue was he dropped the phone and the connection from camera to the board is broken(this is was sony said)
