Transformer won't Charge

I received my eee pad transformer from hh gregg yesterday. When I opened the box I noticed that there was a scratch that appeared to be under the the screen. The scratch is very long, but also very fine and you can only see it when the screen is dark and you hold it up to the light. So I figured what the heck, not that big of a deal. However, when I went to charge the transformer, I cannot get it to charge. No light, no nothing. I've tried everything. Plugging it up to the computer, plugging into the wall, taking apart and putting back together, still nothing. I'm trying to figure out what to do. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Asus said I can send to them and they will look at it or I can send it back to the store, however, the store does not have anymore of the transformers in stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FletchGeek:
If you are taking apart and putting back together the wall charger then you likely haven't put it together properly yet; it will not come apart easily at all if it is fully together.

Try pushing harder than you think you should until the pronged portion is snapped in to place and you cannot easily remove it again. If it doesn't snap down, the contacts on the back side don't line up and it won't charge.

Screen Not Response After Long Standby

Not sure if anyone be able to confirm this but I got the defined way to reproduce the unresponsive screen after long standby period issue as following

1. Has pattern draw security mode

2. Has screen orientation lock = True

3. Let is standby for several hours (mine -> overnight)

4. Upon power button press to resume, the screen pretty much unresponsive. Any pop up including power down (after pressing power button for 5 sec or so) can't be touched.

Normally the screen can be touched again by changing TF orientation to force the screen layout refresh. But with orientation lock, this work around can't be done so pretty much stuck'ed. Will then have to use the force shutdown through a long power button hold (10-21sec).

Hope more people can confirm this and stuntdouble can get it on the list for Asus to review. It is so annoying not to be able to use screen orientation lock fully.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
You've basically just described my device, every time I put it down before I go to sleep. You didnt mention if the orientation lock has to be in landscape or portrait mode however (mines always in landscape), so maybe that makes a difference, I dont know. I'm not getting an unresponsive screen using these things. I would say to all of you getting the unresponsive screen, to RMA your devices. I would assume Asus are aware of this issue, but it sounds like it's more of a core OS problem rather than something that is hotfix-able.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
This is certainly an app problem and not tf, but a high number of apps crash when switching from landscape to portrait. And by crash, I mean black screen, have to reboot.

Some apps with this bug:

Kindle

Feedly

Guitar tabs

Comixology

EzPdf

Xda free (premium works fine)

Strange considering Feedly IS hcomb optimized (and that's after the last update that introduced landscape layout) .
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Feedly works fine for me, before and after the update, in any orientation. It sounds like you have multiple app conflicts then. Gonna be a nightmare working that out. Good luck. :)

Edit: Having read your post again, it sounds like your device is faulty. No app should make your device black screen so it becomes unresponsive. If you can't press the home button there's something seriously wrong. EzPDF works fine for me as well. XDA free is known to FC as it's not been updated for HC yet. The premium version HAS been updated and works fine however.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
You're absolutely right. I retested all those apps just now and they all work fine! :-\ I'll try and isolate the problem when it comes back...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
Just had the problem switching orientation with feedly, found out the lock screen could come back without reboot, but once unlocked it immediately goes back to black. I had a bunch of apps running, killed them all with system panel, and now it works flawlessly. It certainly is a corrupt app, though I have yet to identify it.

TouchScreen NonResponsive

The first night i got my TF it worked perfectly, then i powered it off to standby and went to bed. When i got up the next day the touchscreen would not work. I tried everything to make it work again. Cold booting, various firmwares, clearing the settings, etc. Nothing would make the touchscreen work again so i was going to return it. Well the battery ended up dieing before i got it returned and just as one last ditch effort i decided to power it up again. Sure enough it started working. I am thinking something got screwed up in the touch screen itself and only having the power totally cut reset it.

Just thought i would share this as something else to try if someones touchscreen stops working. Mine has been working fine for 3 days now since this happened.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AcidCool2K:
Are you saying that you have the same setup (and yes I was doing landscape orientation lock) but everything works for you ok? and you think the issue is at the OS level which can't be fixed and most likely requires RMS to ASUS?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AcidCool2K:
That is interesting. Let's us know what you find. I will monitor the running apps and hope to catch the one causing issue on mine too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Yes and yes.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ericc191:
Could you add how the internal / external SD part works. It seems like all my apps want to auto save their information to the Device Storage as opposed to the MicroSD. Kind of annoying.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gbcue:
Obvious:

-If it doesn't charge, check the power adapter. Make sure it's snapped together tight and the two parts are making a solid connection. If not, RMA.

-Buttons. They should function.

-Dead pixels/screen. It, again, should function.

Transformer itself:

-Screen responsiveness (use a drawing app from the market). Test it on a desk and while holding it to check for grounding issues.

-Left and right speaker balance. Watch the YT video referenced here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14446933&postcount=2

-Sleep of death. Don't know if this is a hardware or software issue. Sounds more like software.

Dock:

-Ability to hold a charge. Charge it overnight in the "closed" position. If it hasn't turned green, you should return it. (Questionable).

Picky people:

-Light bleed. This is picking nits unless it's really obvious.

-Creaking. It's plastic, deal with it. My MyTouch4G creaks, I don't really care since it'll be replaced in a couple years or LESS!

-One speck of dust. It's one speck. Again, see above about creaking. If you have a whole mess of dust, obstructing a big area, that's different.

If your screen worked, then stopped, try discharging the battery to 0%. Then re-charging it. This has seemed to clear screen responsiveness for lots of people.

IM GETting REally Annoied with this tablett!!!!

Almost 40% of all the games/apps i have crashes All the time!

Unnexpexcted error, we have to force shutdown

Even Most of the games/apps on the compatble list dosent work for me..

X-piano for example is the latest installed app wich should be compatble and still crashes as soon as i touch the screen.

Exept a few non of the gameloft games work for me without crashing.

Almost no damn movies work.. i have most players on the market..add codecs still no use... and thows who works ****ty quality

And for Apple owners i still take this one over ipad Any damn day.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ericc191:
I agree. I have all 3 issues and I'm not too bothered. The speck of dust can barely be seen. The creaking is more of a slight movement when I squeeze the area near the volume rocker. The light bleed is not of much concern to me on a tablet. If this were a phone, I'd return it.

It would be nice if CWM had a drain power option. Than we wouldn't have to wait to see if that fixes the touchscreen issue. Anyway I'm already back on stock 3.1 and if it doesn't fix itself by lunch I'm stopping at Frys.

I would like to add an other troubleshoot: I can't upgrade dock firmware (i'm in EP101-0207). When I plugged my TF on the dock, an icon say that a new firmware is available (probably EP101-0209). But the upgrade end with error then the dock is bloked (no pad, no keyboard), I must drain the battery to recover pad and keyboard functions.

TF101 not charging after run flat issue - SOLVED

Hello

I also had this problem. The tablet drained the docking station dry, and then neither device would charge from the adapter.

I solved the problem as follows:

1) Remove table from docking station.

2) Turn tablet off completely.

3) Plug tablet only into the charger, at this point the tablet turned on, and began charging.

4) Allow the tablet to charge completely!

5) Reconnect tablet to docking station, and plug docking station into charger.

Voila, all charged :) Hope it works for others who have this issue!

thanks

EDIT: i plug into pc - no beep -

adb devices - device not recognized

EDIT 2: got back to recovery

power + vol down in between the flashing eee's

when screen blank
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Hold the power button for 10-12secs to fully switch off (assuming you didnt do this method). Plug your usb cable into your pc and into the TF. Press and hold the volume up button then hold down the power button. Release both buttons if you hear the usb connect noise in windows. Then you can use NVflash. If you hear the usb fail noise you need to install the APX drivers (which should come packaged with NVflash). If you dont hear any noise in windows (and you're not daft and remembered to turn your speakers on :)) you either didnt do everything I said above correctly, or it's possibly bricked.

stock browser crashes

Since this weekend's firmware upgrade I noticed frequent browser crashes to the homescreen.

Suddenly the browser window disppears, and I am back at the homescreen, without the browser window I was watching being saved - when I restart the browser I am back at my starting page.

Did anyone notice a similar occurrence?

Battery Drain issues resolved for me

Ever since I got my tablet, around the middle of July, I've been experiencing a battery drain issue. I didn't really realize it as I thought it was normal behavior since it happened since day 1. Eventually after reading about people leaving their tablets (with docks) in sleep with slight use for a few days before the dock is mostly discharged I began to be concerned about my battery life. I would unplug mine in the morning and by the evening the dock would be around 20-30% with the tablet still fully charged (expected behavior) irregardless of whether or not I used the tablet or just let it sit completely unused. Basically I was experiencing 3-4% battery drop per hour even when the tablet was completely idle. I did the Asus sleep test and my dock is not effected by the "flaw" where the keyboard wakes the tablet so I figured that wasn't my problem (B60 series dock). I would also leave wifi completely disabled and would still experience battery drain, so I knew that wasn't my problem either. After going through some of the Battery Drain threads (including following this sticky) one FINALLY fixed my problem. It turns out that under Applications>Development>Stay Awake was enabled. I disabled this setting and now the tablet finally enters "deep sleep" and I might see 1-2% drop in the dock battery after several hours if not over night. The setting mentions "Screen will never sleep while charging" which is a little misleading because when you fold the tablet/dock or hit the power button to put it to sleep, it sleeps. But with that setting enabled, the tablet never enters the deep sleep mode. It sort of makes sense as the dock charges the tablet, so it's technically on charge until the dock is dead, but it should probably be a little more descriptive. Hopefully this helps others.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ibrooks123:
Cannot remember boot password on encrypted device.

So my battery died and and when I turned the device back on, it asked for the login password. I entered 1234 which was what I previously had it set to. If you encrypt the device with a specific password, and then change the password (for example when the device screen turns off and you turn it back on) does the encryption passoword remain the same? I have no problem wiping the device and starting over, but I can't seem to get into recovery either.

Also, since I haven't been on the forums in months, have they developed a 1-touch root program for the Eee Pad yet??

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Hi dear android community,

My question is: why is a WP7 Lockscreen for Android quite unthinkable?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=989520

In threads like this often people ask for that kind of lockscreen but the answer is: no one did that yet.

Is it so difficult? I think no sourcecode, even if we had it, could be used for android development right? Therefore one had to write this program from the beginning?

I so eagerly want that lockscreen :/
[Android Software Development] datoml:
Correct me, but i think this kind of lockscreen is possible to build with widgetlocker.
[Android Software Development] Caiaphas:
It looks like a full screen transparent status bar pulldown with an image on it to me...

Hmm, I have widgetlocker but am unable to customize it to make it look like the WP7 Lockscreen.

Yes, something like this...with nice looking date and time...nothing else I ask for :)

Basically, the SOPHOS secures the smart phones by centrally configuring all the security settings and then also it enables the lock down of unwanted features. With strong set of password and security policy it can even control the installation of apps, blocking use of cameras, browsers like You Tube etc. Also, additionally you can easily secure the access to the corporate mail by setting up the registered devices to access the mail.

galaxy s II I9100 has disk encryption built-in but disabled

I went through the files in initramfs and i found :

1) lots of encryption related strings and error messages in the /init executable

2) /init.rc has an event handler "on property:encryption.bootmode=remount"

3) /res/encryption.conftab - a configuration file that maps directories like /data to /dev/mapper/data to /dev/block/<data block device>

important point is that /init executable contains the name of this file and error messages relevant to the processing of this file.

4) /res/images contains images that together are a encryption graphic UI

Conclusion: Block-device level encryption is available and configured through dm_crypt by the init executable and some configuration files. Some flag probably exists somewere to enable this encryption.

Guess: after the flag is flipped the device should ask during boot for encryption password and encrypt /data /efs /cache /sdcard directories. On consecutive re-boots the same password will be asked to be able to mount through the configuration file(s).

Anyone knows how to enable the damn thing? Apparently Sybase have an app called Afaria AES for samsung that enables this functionality. I guess that they are doing it using some unpublished samsung security API. Maybe an extension of the DeviceAdmin class. Anyone know a way to check this?

I configured the standard email client to connect to my exchange server which enforces an encryption policy and then I got prompted to that my SGS2 would then encrypt itself.

I've no idea if there is a way to do it manually or even how to un-encrypt it if I ever remove the exchange account.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forgetmyname:
Hi, When you say, the SGS would encrypt itself, did you mean that the internal discs would be encrypted, or was this referring only to the connection over Email. I think the latter and if so then this is not the correct thread for this discussion. If the former then this is remarkable.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fryandlaurie:
I am also looking for a way to enable encryption. The ability to use hardware-assisted file encryption was the first thing that caught my eye when they presented the SGS II at MWC.

I have contacted Samsung about this (twice) and they were not really helpful at all. They only replied that you need third party tools to use the SGS II encryption features and that there is no tool included with the handset. They also ignored my inquiry for a documented API which would make it possible to write a little program to switch encryption on.

It seems that Sybase Afaria is one of the solutions with the desired ability, a Microsoft Active Sync server is another, both enterprise level products. The Sophos product mentioned above might be yet another.

If we could only get some information about the API all these products must use to administer the phone!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fryandlaurie:
@forgetmyname:

I'm pretty sure that it is about file level encryption: Connecting to a corporate exchange server allows the server (if configured accordingly) to enforce a host of security policies on the phone. One of these policies may well be the encryption of all mail traffic but I doubt that you would be prompted to acknowledge that.
