[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dcam1075:
My swype stopped working today. It stills comes up but when you try to swype a word the border of the keyboard flashes blue and the word does not create. I am running stock with the Bali kernel. I have unistalled and reinstalled and it worked briefly but now is broken again. Anyone else experience this and have a solution?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pinguo777:
this happened to me on the mytouch 4g. When it would happen, I would switch over to the android keyboard, send some one a text message, then switch back to swype and it would work fine for quite a while before it would happen again. I know it may not be a perfect solution but hope it helps.

Mine doesn't work with my Panny LCD TX-L32S10. Not sure what level of cable I have though. Works fine with cheap Tevion LCD bought from Aldi though.

Are there really likely to be any differences between a 1.3 and 1.4 cable?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingronnie:
The main difference between 1.3 and 1.4 is that it has integral ethernet support. Could it be that the pannies are checking for a ping (or similar - limited knowledge, sorry), and other tellies are ignoring it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyC:
I would have said unlikely as other HDMI stuff I have (media PC using an Nvidia ION chipset) works fine. I strongly suspect its a problem with the ASUS as other types of TV are ok and other Tegra2 tablets don't report any problems with Panasonic TVs. Possibly have some out of date firmware for HDMI.

I'm guessing it could be fixed but I suspect it wn't be because it affects so few people in such a specific way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyC:
Ok, in an attempt to work out what the problem with this is, and where the fix may lie, are there any people on this thread who are having a problem with their Panasonic TV who have access to another (different) Tegra 2 based device?

If you could try that device and report back success/fail then hopefully we can start to workout whether its a problem in the Panasonic/Tegra2 mix or in the Transformer itself.

Hopefully it'll be in the Transformers and then, even more hopefully, it'll be an issue that can be fixed in software (i.e. not a fundamental hardware incompatibility).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Its the Transformer. My Atrix worked flawlessly both in webtop, and HDMI mirroring.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyC:
Well that's good news of a sort.

Next step would be to trace the debug message of the kernel to see if the kernel is aware of the hotplugging of the HDMI lead and its is being rejected by software rather than some fundamental incompatibility of the Panasonics and the Tegra2 chip.

.... but I'm now starting to get out of my depth. I'm guessing it would require the kernel to be built with debugging switched on? And that there are appropriate messages being logged. Failing that we're into the custom kernel build scenario, and as far as I can see the latest ASUS kernel sources haven't been released yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
We need to contact the DEV for the prime rom I think.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyC:
Yes, I'll do that then.

Looking at the code that was released for the 8.4.4.5 update there s some debug in there already but I suspect its been compiled out. So, I'll work out how to capture this debug info first, see if its produced and then see about custom kernels.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyC:
Hmmmmmmmm.....

Just installed a terminal emulator, ran dmesg, plugged into the HDMI, rand dmegs again and noticed the following at the end of the log:

<4>[203067.614498] tegra-i2c tegra-i2c.1: no acknowledge
<3>[203067.614608] tegradc tegradc.1: error reading edid

which is very suspicious! I'll have to look into the source code to see what this means but it sounds like the kernel is struggling to get the display info from the TV (EDID) and is giving up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
Ah now we are getting somewhere. If the EDID it not recognised it will indeed bomb. But really it should just fallback to generic PNP monitor. Very bad bit of coding by Asus. I will pass this info on to them methinks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
I was just going to ask how I could tell them about this but if you are going to handle it then I say thank you ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyC:
I'll start digging around in the code to see if I can see what is wrong then, the more information we can pass to them the better I'd say.

If anyone has an Atrix or similar that does work (a HC tablet would be best as it'll have a very similar kernel) could you post up the dmesg output so that I can try and compare logs and code bases.

Its looking promising.

As an aside, even if ASUS don't respond to us I'm fairly hopeful that we can get Nvidia to take any patches directly. The code repository for the Nvidia reference kernel is public and ASUS seem to be very quick to incorporate patches from it so it would be a back door method of getting the fix into the official ASUS code.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
All I am doing is replying to their emails following an RMA so it's just going to the support desk. I asked them to pass it along to their devs. Hopefully I don't get a 'don't care it's more than my jobs worth' person reading them.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyC:
Ok, fair enough, all routes should be explored! :)

What I really need now is confirmation that another Tegra 2 based tablet running Honeycomb works with our dodgy TVs. The Atrix is a phone I think running Gingerbread?

Anyone?

TV : 42" Panasonic Plasma TH-42PV60H (about 4-5 years old)

It works but sometimes I need to plug and unplug to get TF to recognise it. When it doesn't it won't even show the message something like HDMI connected. [Edit : This could be due to the lousy mini HDMI convertor I use though. Contact issue I mean]

It doesn't work on my 20" Samsung LCD *monitor* though.

What I have noticed is when it didn't detect it on my plasma, there is no message about HDMI or "display detected".

When it detects the HDMI and works, it will have some messages about "display detected", and some other HDMI messages.

The logs are pretty long though. logf.txt is the one time TF didn't see the TV. logp.txt is the log when TF detects the TV.

Reading around the subject, and looking into the source code, it sounds like there might be a timing issue on the I2C link that HDMI uses for the querying of the EDID information for the monitor (this tells the computer what the monitor is capable of). As I understand it I2C is a fairly standard inter-device data link but that its quite susceptible to timing problems.

A few changes have been made in this area in the Nvidia code base that all these Tegra devices use. I'm interested in seeing if its also a problem with other Tegra devices (with the same kernel version) to see what might be different in the code.

Failing that its going to mean either compiling a lot more debug into the kernel or just bypassing the EDID detection. I'm not sure of any problems that may cause though.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyC:
That's the same TV as I have so you'll probably get the same result as me, as in no workie.

Looking at the output that my Nvidia ION reports under Ubuntu, it seems that it can't get the EDID from the Panasonic either, but then somehow it either makes some assumptions or somehow works out enough to carry on with making good guesses with what to continue with.

I am getting the feeling that we will have to modify the kernel to just assume standard output of 720p@60Hz and carry on regardless. Maybe in some custom kernels we will be able to control what this output is, but I think a sensible default should be good enough for the rest of us as a fall back.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyC:
You're getting further than we are, that's the HDCP stuff that's failing.

All this stuff is control data that gets passed over an I2C link in the HDMI cable, I'm beginning to think that the Tegra2 I2C code in the kernel is not so good, one of the things that I have read is that the I2C protocol is very susceptible to timing issues.

I really need to know if there are other Tegra2 Honeycomb tablets out there that do work with these displays, it'll give me a chance to look for differences in the code, the problem with 2.x phones is that they use a much older version of the Linux kernel which structures the I2C stuff completely differently.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pehkblui:
Actually strictly speaking, there is no such thing as 1.3 or 1.4 cables. The difference is at HDMI hardware/software and not the cable itself.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyC:
I thought it would be the same but I just wanted to check.

What I am thinking of doing is asking the Prime ROM dev to build us a flashable kernel with a lot more debugging information in it, and then hopefully some kind volunteer (you ;)) can install it and generate lots of nice debug for me to look at (scratch my head at, and probably be none the wiser about :D).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyC:
Ok, spent a bit of time on this and have made a bit of progress. The TV in question also has an Ubuntu box with an Nvidia GFX card attached to it using HDMI (i.e. very similar to plugging the Tf into it). I've taken some code off the web, simplified it and using it I CAN read the EDID from the TV. Good!

I've now repackaged it into a native Android binary (attached) which needs to be put on a Tf and executed! Unfortunately you need root to be able to execute it because the I2C devices require root access. So, if anyone is feeling brave and has root access then it would be great if they could try this:

Download the attached tar file, extract the contents onto the Tf and then start a Terminal Emulator (in market if not already installed). Now execute in the terminal:

su
cd /sdcard/Download
chmod 755 ./read-edid
./read-edid > edid.bin

If it works your EDID should have been stored in the edid.bin file, and should be 256 bytes long.

I completely understand if no-one wants to try this, executing random code off the interweb etc etc may make your Tf explode etc etc but like I said, if someone is feeling brave ..... of course this make not work at all as I haven't been able to test it as my Tf is not rooted.

I've rooted my Tf now, and managed to run my app, it detected the internal panel and my tevion fine to read their EDID but not the Panasonic.

Looking at the code I suspect that the Tegra code in the driver switches off that interface once the HDMI driver falls out with it.

Next is to compile up a kernel with more debug in it and try to track it down better. I might even hard code the EDID from the Panasonic (which my other computer was able to grab) into it just to see if it switches on after that.
