Oh, I didn't have an Incredible, just saying that it sounds like the same thing based on his description.

I ordered another one from Newegg, returning this one to Walmart, I'm gonna end up saving $27 and don't have to deal with the RMA.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
I just got one of these on eBay, thought it was great at first, but then soon realized that I had one of those unresponsive strips on it. Pretty much fully functional, but man is it annoying having to press a key more than once. Trying to get my money back, guy sold it as "new" but won't take it back even though it is defective so I have had to open a PayPal dispute. Pretty crappy experience.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nrapallo:
Can you localize that strip using the YAMT app?

When was your TF built i.e. look at your serial number, the first digit is the year, the second the month of manufacture. Mine is B4, so that's 2011 (hex B=11), April (4th month). My serial number ends in the 30,000 range, if that matters!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] popophobia:
Hey, I have that problem too, just hover around the microsd card. I found out about that a while ago, did the multitouch tests and drawing, both result in something similar to yours. I tried to turn it off and back on again, seemed to go away. Now I think the problem is back. I haven't tried to turn it off and on yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nrapallo:
Below are (landscape) screens saved from the following paint apps:

Big Fat Canvas

- slanted lines drawn smoothly with my finger tip (moving slow and steady)

- arcs this time (as above)

Scribbler

- slanted lines drawn smoothly with my finger tip (moving slow and steady)

- backslanted lines (as above)

Those jagged portions line up over the microSD slot on the right when the front camera is at the top of the landscape screen.

Can you reproduce my images :eek: or do you have straight uninterrupted lines?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] janduin:
just tested mine, i thought i may have something like this. everything went smoothly tho with yamtt, tracked from 1-800 and 1-1280 smoothly. S/N on mine is B5
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nrapallo:
I just returned my TF to my local retail outlet as a defective unit, and am awaiting returning stock levels to nab the replacement TF (hopefully by mid June). Who knows, my replacement could then be a B6... :p :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
My serial starts with B4, I used a few apps, multitouch testers and paint apps to see exactly where it is, seems to be in that same across from the microSD slot.

Seems like B4 is a bad line maybe...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
Yes, b4 for me too, though the area is more where the speaker grilles are.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nrapallo:
If your S/N ends in 30XXX, then perhaps so!

When preparing my TF for return, I cleaned all the fingerprints off with a microfibre cloth and to assist it, I huffed a bit of hot breath onto the screen and noticed that the screen has a grid on it in the glass!

I think that the top row of one grid and the bottom row of the below grid are not working properly i.e. where the "=======" lines are in the ascii representation below of the screen grid (how low-tech :rolleyes: )

Mine's a B4 and I can't reproduce any of the reported issues with touchscreen. No noticable light bleed either so I think I'll count my lucky stars .....and maybe buy a lottery ticket!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
I did notice a grid on mine too when I was cleaning some unknown liquid spotting off of my "new" eBay purchased tablet. I like your ASCII diagram, it is very easy to understand. You probably have something there as far as an explanation.

My serial is B4, but the last numbers are in the 20000 range.

I hope PayPal rules in my favour, I don't think it is right that this guy can dump this on me and then try to act like it is my problem now. I guess if it comes down to it I can still RMA because the Asus tech support told me the serial is still covered under warranty, but I just don't want this guy to "win".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
Any chance the 3.1 update would fix something like this? Not sure if this is a hardware issue or a software/drivers issue, although the ASCII grid would indicate hardware so maybe I am just getting my hopes up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattcoz:
Sweet! New one doesn't have the problem! The old one was a B4, new one is a B5.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
B5 looks promising, my father has one too and no issues. Serial # in the high 40000 (47000 I think) . Going to rma mine this week. Tough to let go, cause it's still very usable, but it has to be done! :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
I just randomly dropped in here. I have a B5 and I just got mine today (5-31) so far I've noticed some touch issues like in camera. I can't switch from camera to video very easily, it takes it awhile to switch. But other than that everything seems to be working ok... Sometimes when i swipe in the ebook reader the page won't turn, but other times it does. I'm just going to chalk that up dry fingers or something.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krighton:
mine is a B4...no touch problems so far....ends with a 19k number.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
I have a B4 as well and no issues here either.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nrapallo:
Given that my local retail outlet (CanadaComputers in Vaughan) has 10+ in stock right now, I'm happy to report that I've now received my replacement TF (with a B5 serial number) and all is well!.

No screen unresponsiveness. No more jagged lines when drawing straight ones (that is, while sober.... :rolleyes: )
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
I got an RMA number and sent mine off to... North Bay? Which sort of surprised me because I thought there were service centres located in southern Ontario. But anyway, they have had it since Thursday morning. For a while the repair status showed up as "You have requested an RMA number, but we haven't received your machine yet." However now when I enter my info, no records come up at all. I hope that's a good sign. But considering the troubles I have had, it's probably not.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frysee:
My RMA number changed shortly after ASUS got my device, make sure you use your serial number to check your rma status.

greetz
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
The spot where I was checking repair status asks for RMA, serial, and phone number. Unless I am checking in the wrong spot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
It's one or the other. You can enter just the SN. Mine is gone to North Bay too.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattcoz:
Spoke too soon, new one has a dead spot alomg the left edge. :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
No kidding! Man, that's a bummer... Hopefully they'll cover two way shipping for a 2nd rma. It's not exactly cheap to ship.

Sent from my Atrix
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
Holy damn you're a genius, I put in just my serial number and got all sorts of info that I didn't get before, and apparently my status now is: Ready for Shipping. Which is great, I just hope it comes back without any dead spots.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattcoz:
Whoa, the dead spot is gone. :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gbcue:
What app is that?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
Try the dead spot by leaving the tablet on a table, not touching the frame, just your finger on the screen. If it's the same "grounding" problem, it may seem ok if you hold the tablet in your hands (or if it's plugged in).

Sent from my Atrix
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
Well apparently the repair was fast because they didn't actually do anything. Got the tablet back today with the exact same problem, so I just paid $26 to send it to North Bay for nothing. Wow, Asus is great!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
Wow, this is so unacceptable. Hope they step up and take care of shipping both ways for you. Did you add any insurance to your shipping? I'm surprised you had such a good price. Was it puro or canada post? Are you close to NBay? I paid 45$ with Purolator, including 10$ of extra insurance.

Sent from my Atrix
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattcoz:
Big Fat Canvas

Yeah I realize that, but it's really gone, for now at least.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
The dude I talked to on the support line today said that they would cover shipping both ways this time. He also said I have to wait for an email to arrive that would give me instructions; it has not arrived yet so we will see. The support dude was not very friendly, his microphone was too far away from his face so I could not hear him at all, and when I asked 2 different times for him to speak up he seemed put out. Also, when he asked for my RMA number, I gave it to him and he said, that doesn't sound right, even though I was reading it from the original email that I got. But oh well, I guess not everyone is cut out for customer service.

I used Canada Post Priority next AM because it was just before the strike so I figured I would make it in time. I did not add insurance because I like to live on the edge. For now I am just playing with it and deciding if the dead zone is dead enough for me to go through another RMA process.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
Never got an email from Tuesday, called again today, they could not create a new RMA because the old one isn't closed yet, and the support guy couldn't figure out how to close the old one. So he said that someone would call me later today. Still waiting. I will never buy Asus again. Ever.:mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
No phone call came for me, I phoned again yesterday, they still couldn't figure out how to close the old RMA file, which is mind boggling considering they are a computer company. You would think they could work with computers. Anyway, the support guy said again that someone would call me, so far no call has come, I have been trying for a week now to get a new RMA and every time Asus support does not follow up. This is probably the worst service I have ever gotten from anyone, and that includes the time a store clerk punched me in the face.

I would suggest that if you can fix it yourself then go for it because apparently Asus is no help at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sigwood:
After a week and 5 phone calls, I finally got a new RMA, hopefully this time they actually fix it. If they don't I might go ballistic.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nbhor:
Purchased 2 units both had B5 serial. One from amazon & other from newegg. Both came with screen issue. Tested using scribbler & zTest. Hopefully I will recieve RMA units this week are issue free.

Not sure how many people are really testing their units & finding this issue. Does cheaper unit = lower quality?

Anyway thanks a lot, this thread really helped me to trackdown the touch issues. Crossing my fingers for replacement units.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frysee:
Just received my Transformer from RMA, at least the screen is turning on now :)

I'll check for any touchscreen issues as soon as it has charged up a little. RMA took 5 weeks, more as twice as long as I used the device :D

Oh, and my serial number changed. My Transformer was a B30KA***, now it has been relabelled to a B40KA***.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
5 weeks? Been a week now and I'mgoing nuts!

Sent from my Atrix
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frysee:
Well, I guess it depends on which part is defective... the service guy on the phone said they needed to order a new mainboard for mine :)

greetz
[Eee Pad Transformer General] NStever:
I have to send my Eee Pad in for RMA also. I had some similar screen issues that have already been posted but there was a few other issues that I haven't seen anyone talk about yet.

When I first got the Tablet there was a finger wide strip from top to bottom on the touch screen that would register two touches. Typing o or 9 would double the text. Making typing a pain.

When the screen timeout was on the tablet would go all wacky when I unlocked it. Gmail would open then and email would be selected and the screen would scrolls up and down the email. If that didn't happen then the widget screen would appear. The only way I could fix this was to set the timeout to never and reboot the Tablet. I think I had the Gmail app located on the same strip that had the touch issues.

Then this morning when I powered on my device I got a password screen. I never set up a password lock or anything like that so it was kinda strange. But that wasn't the big problem. The touch screen completely stopped responding at this point.

When I tried to boot into recovery mode the Android guy appears with a "!" inside him and nothing happens. A few times after that the device refused to even boot up.

I also have a S/N starting with B5.

I didn't even have the Tablet for more then 24 hours. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
I just received my case from ebay, so now I have my keyboard dock, my case but no tablet. 1.5 weeks in rma, status changed from "repairing" to "wait for material/spare parts"... I hope it comes back next week.

Sent from my Atrix
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frysee:
I guess you don't want to know how long mine stayed at "waiting for customer confirmation/spare parts" :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
5 weeks go get it back to you....:eek: IMHO that is not acceptable!!!! In the US their RMA policy it stated 2 weeks. I sent mines in for a dead screen, and if it takes over 2 weeks Im going to tell Asus to keep it, and I am going to call AMEX.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frysee:
The support guy told me their policy is something like 15-20 work days (the warranty policy is a whole lot different in europe and especially germany) before they offer to refund your money...

Considering it was an early-adopter device, rooted and purchased in another country I'm pretty happy with how it turned out for me.

greetz
[Eee Pad Transformer General] straxusii:
I get this issue but it's like the app isnt responding for a bit, ie I press a button but it doesnt register, try it again and it works fine
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vukis:
I could forgive my issues:

Couple dead pixels

Lightbleed

Docking battery drain when connected with tablet

Huge speaker disbalance

HC 3.1 soft issues (like laggy browser, browser FCs, browser silent closes and etc..)

But what I can`t forgive is this topics issue, that started last week (after ~5 weeks of normal use). Mine batch starts at B5*... And now random areas of touch screen tends to become unresponsive. Sometimes it fixes itself, sometimes I have to restart my device. Yesterday I had couple of partial screen unresponsivnes and one full screen freeze and I was using it for just a couple hours in evening.

This is it I lost faith in this device, no matter that it is superb device with outstanding features and joy to use but this huge bouquet of issues drives me crazy. I think I`ll try to RMA for money back, because I don`t believe in perfectly constructed transformer. It is very sad, because I so much love this device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kukky:
Ok...let me say my adventure...

I have a problem with the bottom edge of the display. Touch skips pixels. I sent TF in the RMA and 20 days after it is returned back: change motherboard (??). The defect was still there!

Sent back RMA: replaced power button (??). The defect The defect was still there!

ASUS support told me that I have to send back RMA again. I write from Italy and the only service center for Europe is in czech republic. After two round trips, and the cost of spare parts, they would spend less if you had given me a new TF!

Why they don' change at firts display???

Hopefully sooner, still wanting to add/fix a few things before release, should get some time later on tonite to really work on it and depending on how it goes then..might release sooner than 24hrs (thats a BIG maybe)
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Awesome! Thanks. I will upgrade to GB soon and was hoping you'd have a compatible kernel soon. I'm glad to see UV and no OC at this point. I think I am going to stop OC'ing since I never really need it. However, I do still UV since once I find the "stable" settings for my phone, it will only help. However, I am curious how "much" people think UV helps with battery life. If it isn't significant then I might just select very safe UV settings so I don't have to spend time testing and can adjust after seeing real usage. Opinions?

The only problem I see right now is that UV settings wont stick on reboot..I don't know if its just there's no init.d support yet, or if its something with UV.. I haven't got a chance to look at it yet, but its something I want to figure out before release. .atleast figure out what the problem is anyways

What does CIFS/TUN support do?
[Captivate Android Development] iXNyNe:
Cifs is for file sharing, tun is for vpn (long story short)

Side note, you are likely to never need either, however the more likely would be tun in my opinion.

I'd also like to know
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Interactive and Ondemand governors don't scale like conservative does, ondemand will go from 100 to 1200 instead of ,for example, from 100 to 400 to 800 to 1200 finally...giving a more quicker/smoother result...and same goes for scaling down, it will go from 1200 down to 100..instead of 1200 to 800 to 400 then 200/100... so it will get to 100 quicker when it has no load. With interactive governor, its pretty much like ondemand but has a few different tweakable variables.. Take everything you know/learned about froyo or 2.6.32 kernel and forget about it, with gingerbread and 2.6.35 there has been ALOT of changes..what worked with it doesn't mean it will be the same with this.. when using conservative governor its almost unusable IMO, its very very laggy from me..so having 600/900 etc wont make a difference cause it wont be used like they are with conservative, they will be barley used if even used at all
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Good to know. Thanks for the info existz!
[Captivate Android Development] iXNyNe:
Would this mean that jumping from 100 to 1200 would have voltage spike issues? I remember part of the overclocking mini guide mentioned that 800 may handle -100 UV but while scaling up or down the voltage jump is too weird so -75 might hold more stable. This advice still apply in any way?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
UPDATE

TalonDEV v0.1.2

OC support up to 1.2ghz

Interactive governor by default

Add CIFS/TUN support

Few upstream improvements

Delete your Voltage Control settings before flashing, (CWM->Advanced).. otherwise it will set UV settings for the wrong frequency since theres a new step

[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
i would recomend ondemand for noobs it usaully safe and stable and fast

to update to 1.2 can i flash it if i already have the intial kernel installed

also can voodoo sharpeness and color be in the future
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Interactive is already tweaked, imo its smoother than ondemand, i recommend using it...but thats just my opinion...but yea, you can just flash it and go if you already on Talon kernel..but make sure to delete VC settings first...and voodoo color fix is already in the kernel
