This fragmentation is getting unbelievable... So now we can't use Tegra 2 games or games which rely on other proprietary format... Really disappointing... Hope devs will sort this out soon...
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Blame Nvidia.
[Galaxy S II General] Jude188:
I know... it almost makes me not want to buy any of their desktop GPUs anymore...
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
It should be possible to modify/hack any Tegra 2 came to work with some fairly straight forward conversion, and maybe a small smali hack to set the opengl texture format there as well.

In short: it's not impossible to get around it.
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
Its nvidia all over really. They did it to the PC market as well with custom shaders and 'The way its meant to be played' scheme.

Its not JUST nvidia, its also the devs who are too lazy to use regular standards, Companies like nvidia help devs out, but do so by guiding them to use proprietary extensions.

Im not a great gamer anyway, so the Mali gives me what i value more, HD movie playback and full HD recording at 30fps. I love that i can just put a normal HD MKV file from the interwebs on my phone and it plays it flawlessly.
[Xoom General] EwanG:
OK, so far I have resisted the urge to root my Xoom because I don't have an extra SD Card, and am not really feeling any slowness on the system to want to overclock.

But then it occurred to me...

Does anyone have the latest Tiamat kernel installed and have the Motorola Bluetooth keyboard? If so, do you still have the stuck/repeating key problem, or is it fixed? To be able to actually use the keyboard again (I pretty much don't since getting a stuck repeat eliminates any speed advantage from touch typing) would be worth rooting my Xoom.

Please let me know one way or the other!
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
FWIW, I've been building my own kernels from upstream (i.e, with all the latest new stuff from Linus/NVidia/Google/Motorola) and I haven't seen the repeating key problem with my Apple Aluminum keyboard, so maybe there is something to that.
[Xoom General] EwanG:
Can now confirm that after rooting and flashing Tiamat 1.4.0 that my Bluetooth problem with my keyboard is history. Feel free to spread the word :D
[Xoom General] Holsum:
im running tiamat 1.4.1 and i havent seen the issue come back since.
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
I've found that the bluetooth problem only creeps up if the Xoom hasn't been rebooted for a while... in like four or five days. I have no idea what this means. Since I got in the habit of shutting it off from time to time, it's been much less of a problem (though it still occurs).
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Perhaps, but my X only gets rebooted if I have a new kernel to load, so maybe there is something to the new kernels (but admittedly, I've only seen the issue once).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldragon777:
I just got the 32G version transformer. There is a very annoying problem with the touch screen: sometimes it is not registering my touch at all, sometimes it seems that you have to push hard.

I am not sure if this is the touch screen problem or the system is busy with something else?

Anybody else having the problem? Any ideas to solve it?

The firmware is the latest version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myagi:
I too have noticed this issue from time to time. Not sure what it is though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrayAdjacent:
The touchscreen does seem a bit insensitive on my 16GB TF. Not necessarily unusable, but sometimes I have to touch a button a couple times to get it to respond. Most often the menu button that appears in the top right corner of some apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldragon777:
I am pretty sure this is a software related problem. Sometimes, the touch screen feels quite responsive.

What is the official way to report problems to ASUS?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadimus_ca:
Indeed. The touch digitizer and even it's driver works flawlessly - start Fruit Ninja HD and you can enjoy most responsive multi-fingers (4 or maybe more) touch ever.

But everything except games is considerably less responsive to touch.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgilmorean:
The touchscreen on mine just completely died. Completely not responsive. I wish I could blame it on a faulty app or something simple but I put it to sleep and when I woke it 20 minutes later, I can't do anything with it. It responds to all the physical buttons just fine and the screen rotates and everything but it just doesn't respond to any touch.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadimus_ca:
Did you try cold reboot? I experienced same issue one time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldragon777:
I just installed Fruit Ninja HD. Although I am a newbie in cutting fruits, I am pretty sure the touch screen just doesn't register sometimes, even in Fruit Ninja.

My firmware build number is: HRI66.US_epad-8.2.3.9-20110423

Coming from Xoom, although the TF's IPS is much better than Xoom, but the touch experience of the TF is much much worse.

Sometimes you have to press hard and longer to register, I am wondering if there is a way to change the touch screen's sensitivity?

Whatever reason it is, it should be very easy for ASUS to reproduce the problem and fix it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustindw:
Try the app Multitouch Test in the market. It seems to be a lot more sensitive than some of the other apps are (or even the OS) regarding touch sensitivity. (Or at least it seems to be)

https://market.android.com/details?id=de.greenrobot.multitouchtest&feature=search_result
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldragon777:
Thanks. Downloaded and tried.

When it's normal, it can track 10-finger touch easily. However, the main problem seems to be the response time for repetitive touches. The system seems to be not able to keep up with normal typing speed touches. It will register several touches, then non-responsive for a while. If you wait a while, like several seconds, it will respond again.

Is there a good APP to check CPU settings and utilization ratio?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgilmorean:
What do you mean by cold reboot? I have reset it a few times by holding down the power button.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldragon777:
Interestingly, this thing is mentioned in Engadget UK's review (http://hartantolestari.info/search/asus-eee-pad-transformer-screen-is-not-working)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cd419:
I would reccomend against pressing hard. That is a good way to damage the lcd panel and the digitizer hardware. Capacitive screens dont register pressure just electircal conductivity from skin touching the screen. I would say any lag you are seeing is most likely software based as others have said.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgilmorean:
Hmm, I have tried rebooting the device many, many times and still no change. I wiped user data hoping it would help (nope). I just don't understand why the touchscreen would stop being responsive to any input. It wasn't jostled around or treated badly in any way. I just had it in my backpack, which I was carrying by hand and the Transformer was in a padded compartment.

Overall, I am rather disappointed and disillusioned with Asus. The Transformer's terrific when it works but I've had to deal with the deep sleep issue at least once a day and then to have the touchscreen go dead entirely is terrible. The first I can see being a software issue that can be fixed but the second is probably shoddy hardware.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadimus_ca:
Cold reboot is holding power button until TF shuts down, ignoring shutdown dialog.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
almost seems as if they didnt test the xoom. it feels faster than the tf bc its screen is more responsive.

i wonder if the screen could be calibrated manually with the config.ini lie the nook color.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldragon777:
Here is some update: after the TF slept for a night, I pushed the power button. The touch screen is just not responding at all on the lock screen. I let alone the TF for half an hour or so, pushed the power button again, now the touch screen worked fine. Unlocked and into the home screen, no problem with touch for about 30 seconds, then it becomes intermittent again.

I will call ASUS support tomorrow. Hopefully there will be some firmware update very soon to address this, otherwise, I will have to return it.

The weird thing is that if this is a software/firmware issue, lots of people should have reported it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldragon777:
OK, I have created a case at vip.asus.com/eservice/techserv.aspx

Looking at some Youtube clips reviewing TF, their touch screen seems to be fine. So this might be a bad unit. I will return it next week (bought from local Fry's) and hopefully they have replacement units!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldragon777:
I have created a vote regarding the TF's touch experience.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgilmorean:
Good luck! I got mine from Amazon and they are completely out of stock. The only option is to get a refund since they don't have an expected in-stock date so the CSR can't put a replacement order in for me. Every online retailer I've looked at is also OOS. Hopefully more come in soon.

I also spoke to Asus and they are willing to repair mine but not to give me a loaner or just outright replace it. That is really too bad. I was hoping they would be more like HTC, which has great customer service in my experience and gives out replacements at the drop of a hat. If the Flyer wasn't such a POS, they would have had my business.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcodelinux:
Configuration:

I am running the stock 605.6 firmware and I am NOT rooted.

Here's the situation:

I have a tblot that has a jacked up USB port that will not function. I can't think of any way that I can root it without the USB cable.

I have tried adbWireless, but you have to be rooted.

I have tried (via terminal emulator on the tblot)

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd

&& (on laptop)

adb connect 192.168.X.X:5555

but again, you have to be rooted to use setprop

Is there some "on device" or other non-USB method that I can use to root this thing?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EEdaesung:
how in the world do you charge your phone without a functioning usb port?

also, someone is probably going to say it. This post should probably be in the questions and answers threads section.

^_^_^
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
You could charge it other ways. Induction for one, docking station, or if you have to hack it, you could connect the battery directly to some usb wires. My old blackberry had a usb problem the last month or so I had it and I took an old usb cable, sliced it open and rigged up a cheap docking station with the power and ground cables in it so i could just touch the connectors (used for the dock on it) to the dock I made. Worked fine, though I don't easily see any similar way to do that on the thunderbolt unless you want to connect directly to the battery (not a good idea if you aren't careful since you could overcharge it easily without anything to tell you how full it is without putting it back or using a multimeter).

Why dont you use the 1 year warranty the phone comes with to get the usb port fixed? If not, you could probably solder a miniusb connector onto it in its place if you know someone with some electronic skills.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhr:

"Is there a way to root without USB?"

No, were not JailBreaking Iphones here, this is Android.

What could you possibly need root for sooooo bad that you can't wait like 4 days or less?

If you crave a look besides Sense so bad install a launcher for the time being.

I'm rooted and till Cyanogen gets up and running as stable. I really have no use for it in my everyday life. I work as a Technician and use my phone alot but not once do I say. OMG I don't have root how will I live!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets be serious if this was possible it would be on the net and in Android news sites. Just like every other method that comes out is pretty much plastered all over the main page or some other Android news site.

With no viable reason or need I feel this thread is pointless and it should be closed.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicriggs:
jailbreaking iPhones require USB as well. Unless your still on the firmware that supports the iBooks exploit, then you can just go to a website (jailbreakme.com)

But you can't open SSH, unless you are jailbroken. That said, OP was wondering if there were any apps like z4 that would root the phone. None for the tbolt yet. Limera1n, Green P0ison, red snow, etc are tools used for iPhone jailbreak but they require USB.

Thanks there, Officer Barney Fife. Does it look like this forum is short on people who need to volunteer, take command, and clean it up? Trust me when I say that the Mods/Admins of this forums have no problem deleting useless threads if the need arises. As proof of this, this thread is now over three pages. It was a valid question and deserved a valid answer.

The next time you have a thought on how to police these forums when you are not even a mod and/or admin...err on the side of caution and just let it go.

See?? this is exactly what I am talking about. Instead of answering the OP with a simple Yes or No, you have to chastise me for even asking this question. I don't usually engage in flame posting, but you have pissed me off so here it is...

I really didn't want to get into this but if you must know, my house was trashed thanks to a tornado a week and a half ago. I have no power, cable, telephone, or internet (other than my phone). This is how my USB port on my phone probably got messed up. I am powering my laptop with an inverter in my car. The phone battery is being removed and charged using my cheapo ebay desk dock thing powered by the USB port on my laptop.

I need root so that I can get wireless tethering going on my laptop before the 15 May cutoff for the free 3G Mobile Hotspot from VZW, which is what I am using right now. I don't want to bet my ability to track my insurance claim on the hopes that VZW or Fedex/UPS/USPS can complete their mission in finding me (VZW said that the shipper would require a signature for the device) seeing as though my neighborhood pretty much doesn't exist anymore.

Now that you have this information, is your ability to answer the initial question significantly enhanced given the above details? Is there any more information that you need?

Here is some additional information that might help you...

I'm a Taurus.

I have blue eyes.

I love long walks by the beach.

I love camping, hiking, fishing and pretty much all things outdoors.

I like books about flowers and butterflies.

My favorite color is red.

I got back over $850 this year on my tax return.

Does this info help you?

Let me know if there is any other pointless information that you need to know before actually being helpful and answering my question.

Here is an example on how to be helpful.

Here is another...

Now, can you be helpful like this? If you still require more information, let me know...or STFU and move on.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemesys504:
Your question isn't valid if your getting a replacement and just wasting time posting this in the dev section when it should be in the general section.

Simple answer is No. How many ways you want people to tell you the same exact answer? Not sure what language you speak but NO is pretty universal to understand.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcodelinux:
How is this NOT a valid question? I think that you are getting confused by the fact that the device IS going to eventualy be replaced. The question is still "Can the phone be rooted WITHOUT a USB cable?". The people who are asking "why is he asking this" and just saying "replace it under warranty" are NOT answering the question.

Thank you.

The reason I posted this in the Development section of the forums is because the Developers are the one who posses the technical know how and could write the programs to do this exact thing.

Next time I will make a thread asking where I should post my question to. Happy?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitfix:
No you can't.

Does the thunderbolt even have the capability to use wireless tether that is not officially through Verizon? I don't use wireless tether so I am not certain. I always though that the kernel had to support it.

Just because you don't like the answer that your getting does not mean that no one is answering your question.

In addition, stop defending yourself by insulting others. You're making yourself look and sound like a child. Not saying that you are one (I don't know you so I am not going to make that kind of assumption) but being respectful to others (even if someone isn't to you) is the only way people will validate you as someone they want to help.

Think before you type and click submit.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
So, you want to root so you can steal service from Verizon by violating your contract. You must have lived in a single-wide, if the $30 (?) Verizon will be charging for tethering service is more than tracking your insurance is worth.
