[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] telmedragon:
I've looked around and a lot of people have fully unresponsive screens. However, mine is I guess semi-unresponsive?

I can perform all my functions fine, but when I try to power down my phone via power button. It pops up the power menu and then my screen becomes completely unresponsive. I can only use the hard buttons, but nothing on the screen works. When I press the power button again to go into standby, it'll work like normal and my screen works again, all until I try to go to the power menu again. Does anyone know what is wrong?

I forgot which HD2 I'm using, but I know I bought it in the June of it's release and I'm in the US.

My current ROM is HyperDroid-GBX-v12, but I don't think it's a ROM issue since the previous ROM I had was even worse, same problems, but unresponsive at the lock screen at times.

Thanks, and let me know if I can give any other info.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Yerdan:
Has this been happening since you flashed the Rom or is this a new problem?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] telmedragon:
This has just started happening. I think it was present to a lesser extent before, but I am noticing a lot more recently. I flashed a new ROM because I thought it was my old ROM, but the problem isn't going away.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Yerdan:
For a work around, download the quick boot app from the market and power your phone off that way.

What Rom are you running now btw?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] telmedragon:
My current ROM is HyperDroid-GBX-v12,

Thanks for the work around, but I'm really wondering what the problem is since it persists between ROMs. I'm thinking hardware, but then it's so specific that I'm not sure.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Yerdan:
The only other think I can think of trying to wipe your phone via CWR by formatting data, boot, system, Sd-ext (if applies), cache, and Dalvik cache. I know you re-flashed your Rom already but did you do a full wipe prior? It could be data corruption from the previous Rom. Just trying to troubleshoot :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JesusFreak316:
I'm currently having touchscreen issues myself. At first I though mine was totally hosed but then I read on some thread if you press the power button hard it can revive the screen. It worked for me. I assume there must be some loose cable somewhere beneath the power button that's causing these issues. It's probably just a coincidence that it stops working when you hold it down and you are really having the same issue as me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] telmedragon:
I did wipe everything, but now I think of it I think I forgot to format my SD card. I'll try it now thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] telmedragon:
Nope, still doesn't work. I'm at a lost for what's wrong right now =\
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Yerdan:
Be careful about mashing the power button too hard. I already have broke one HD2 because the power button cracked.....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Yerdan:
Sorry to hear this. Like I said earlier try using Quick boot. It won't fix your problem but at least your phone will still work. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance....

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikeny:
I got this at Staples.ca, Asus now bundles the Tf and dock in one box, and sell it $50 cheaper ($499 for 16GB with dock). This is regular price, not a promotion. I am pissed!!

Asus - Is this how you reward your loyal early adopter customers? I feel that we (those that bought the dock and Tf together earlier) should get a $50 refund!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1ackplague:
I don't agree that you should receive a $50 refund because, as you said, you chose to be an early adopter thereby wanting a device and its accompanying accessories right off the bat and you pay a premium for that. Unfortunately we weren't able to see the future and this bundle.

That said I still think you should contact Asus and ask them to send you a refund check, the worst they can do is say no. Let them know you have receipts/invoices to prove the cost of your device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
I'd like $50 back too! :) Buy me a microsd card..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikeny:
No, $50 is not worth my time to be put on hold talking to CSRs. My point is, it shows the kind of company Asus is.

When Apple decided to give out free iPhone cases, first thing they made sure was announcing how you can get a refund if you bought one already.

I shouldn't even have to ask for my $50. I will return the favor to Asus by never buy any of their products, because the post-sale happiness of their customers is obviously not important.

By the way, I won't be surprised if they never fix the battery drain of the dock either. if it's anything like the way they pump out netbooks, they'll probably discontine the current Tf in 2 months (for Tf2 or something).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bighuta:
wow negative nancy.

You seem to want everything handed to you. That's not how companies work you know. Apple did so only because they're apple and can afford it, not to mention not doing so would seriously jeopardize their name. More of an exception to the rule. Battery drain is not nearly as serious as the Iphone Grip-o-death.

/my$0.02
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikeny:
This is exactly my point. Apple is Apple, and Asus is..., well just Asus. That's why my future money (and many other people's) goes to one and not the other.

Yes, my post was negative. Didn't I already said I was pissed! I just bought the damn thing 16 days ago.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carl LaFong:
Early adopters always pay dearly. It's the cost of first bragging rights. Remember all those suckers who paid $5000 for a 40-inch plasma TV?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaensgen:
Dont let the door hit you on the way out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntrix:
Wow, this has nothing to do with anything. Apple avoided a huge issue with it's antenna problem. There's no such thing with the TF.

My dock works just fine. Someone is drinking the kool-aide.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikeny:
I wish it was that simple, just walk out the door. I am still stuck with this Tf which will only remind me everyday how I got ripped off.

By the way, you are so orginial. Welcome to the forum. Asus sucks, but this forum rocks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntrix:
Well, you can ask for this thread to be closed now.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :D

Wow, you really think the asus marketing machine is really going to give you $50 back? Do we have any proof that you bought both items at the same time?

You saw the prices at the time and chose to pay them. /thread
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikeny:
Yes, there is something called a receipt, and it lists the items, date and price that you paid for.

No, I don't expect anything from Asus anymore.

Sure, mod can close this thread, enough ranting from me now.

(By the way, if you don't like this thread, by not replying, it will quickly drift the 2nd page, 3rd, 4th, and you'll never see iy agin)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaensgen:
Not nu this is my second account. Asus is great and getting better. You said your future money was going to Apple so, by all means.

I really look to Acer and Asus to be inovative leaders in a mobile interactive computing world to come. Enjoy your "new" notifications bar.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tubular:
Yeah, the other posters are right.

There are many issues on which to pick a bone with Asus, this is not one of them. You saw the prices and you got the items early.

It's a known fact that early adopting will cost you. Everything becomes cheaper. Blu-Ray drives were $300.00 when they first came out. Half a year ago I saw an ad for a Samsung CD/DVD/Blu-Ray combo drive for $50.00.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1ackplague:
Go Buy Your iPad, please.

You got ripped off because you "lost" $50? Wow.

Please go to Apple, I heard they're looking for some more zombies...er...."owners".

In regards to Apple offering a free case;

1) it was to resolve a glaring issue in that the phone partially lost it's capabilities of being a phone by dropping calls with the Antenna issue. Although the transformer has had it's own issues they have been dealt with in the same manner as Apple and many other large electronics manufactures and that it is to resolve the issues in house and release newer and newer batches that have the kinks worked out.

2) Those cases probably probably cost Apple, maybe, a few bucks to make. The loss wasn't that great and, although offered to the entire customer base, not every iPhone owner claimed one. So the out of pocket expense, although admittedly large, wasn't so much that Apple couldn't afford to resolve it. If Asus refunded $50 to every TF owner they would be losing money big time as the TF is already barely sold above cost because they figured the dock would bring the money.

Finally, please close this thread. The information is irrelevant and does nothing to add to the TF general forum. And this is going off-topic way to fast.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xTRICKYxx:
I'm not pissed by this. I was surprised when I was shopping for the damn Transformer as I could not find a bundle. But, I love them dearly and was a good $550.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootblock:
I would like to own the dock, but will never buy it for more than $99, based on the bundle's price. Like others said, the bundle wasn't available when I snagged the TF either.

If everyone refrains from buying one for any more than $99, maybe we'll see a price drop sooner than later.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToyTank:
I have had a few asus devices. All have been stellar, only problem was my refurbished EEE 901 came with bad charger and battery. Called asus to replacement, I had to complain to get shipping waived, but got a brand new battery and charger in less than a week. I have to say that refurbished 901 is still in use today 2 years later and may have been the best $169 I ever spent.

All that said, I am disappointed in the TF. There I said it. For me the problem with the dock battery drain plus poor BMS making it so you can't leave it plugged in.

If I can't leave it at my desk plugged how can you call it a "dock"

I have to charge dock and tablet separately, and then leave them so until I want/need the keyboard or sacrifice 4-5% hr drain while off or in sleep. BTW I sent email to asus complaining about dock battery draining 2 weeks ago and have not received a response....

Edit:For $399 Tablet is way solid. But yeah the dock has issues....clearly not worth >$50 in my mind yet
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
You guys do realize that you only paid $400 for a device that Asus could have easily charged you 500 600 or even 700 for...

Stop *****ing and get a grip already.

If you're not happy go buy xoom, galaxy or apple product. no body is forcing you to buy or keep your tf.

The more you come here and cry the more you just show how incompetent you are. Take control of your life and fix the things you don't like or deal with them. Don't come to the internet and cry like a bunch of 4 year olds.

Dis bundle has been out in other parts of world the uk and singpore been had these
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flowah:
I'm a little miffed too. Asus knew they would do this, I don't know why they didn't do it right away like they did on Amazon.co.uk. Maybe to extract some money from eager customers?

I'm a bit pissed and yeah, I'll probably stay away from Asus from now on if I can.

The defensiveness in this thread is pretty amazing though. It's like Asus has free corporate defenders. You usually have to pay for that kind of service.

1. Asus definitely had a dock+tab deal going on, way before the US release.

2. For some reason, they decided not to offer this deal when it launched.

3. They decided to offer it less than 3 months later.

Just doesn't seem right. I'm still happy with my product, but I wish they'd have given us firm timelines and and indication of what their plans were. Just a simple "we plan on releasing a dock bundle in a few months" would have been plenty. Instead, I waited a whole month for any word of a dock bundle to materialize before I pulled the trigger, and now this. Meh, learned my lesson.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkmanx2g:
Wow you guys are harsh. Asus made a compelling product on a slick price point. They also did a pretty good job supplying demand this past month. They offered a great screen, innovative attachment keyboard which has extra WORKING SD card slots, USB port, long battery life, and 3.1 update.

I can only imagine if you bought the Motorola Xoom. You would of blown up some buildings down over the 100 dollar price drop.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ondoy1943:
Allow me to put-in my 2-cent worth rant. Here goes: asus was playing with sorta, kinda blackmail game. Why did asus not include even a single usb port in the tab? Until now, asus has not even released the usb adapter to retailers! To force hapless consumers wanting a usb port to buy the keyboard dock? If that is not blackmail, i don't know what is!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoenixFx:
LOL :D This post is funny for two reasons

1. For whining about a company not refunding their existing customers after a price drop.

2. For taking Apple’s iPhone case refund/giveaway as a point to support the whine
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
Has it ever occurred to anyone that ASUS is just trying to stay competitive in the extremely fast growing tabet market?

There have been like what 2 or 3 tablets released since the TF came out and there are a hundred more on the horizon. Stop coming up with all these stupid conspiracy theories and use a little logic.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SM0k3Y:
Basically you all have been trolled. :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] findmike:
I'd really like to see you're point but I'm having a hard time with it... If I fill up my tank at Exxon today and gas is cheaper the next day there's not a single station in the world that is going to offer me up a refund. If I drive by an Exxon three miles down the road with cheaper gas I don't fault Exxon for something referred to as market driven economics or put simply "the thing is worth whatever people will pay for it".

I guess you expect retail products to behave differently but I sort of doubt you can cite a single example in the history of the world where the price of a given item has never changed over time.

The best way to avoid this is to never buy anything made by anyone from anywhere. If you are lucky a cow will eventually wander onto whatever piece of land you are standing on, so too with some chickens and goats, one day you'll learn to cultivate wheat and corn using tools made by beating rocks and sticks together and life will finally have the stability you were seeking. Eventually, when you have a surplus of the earth's bounty, you can sell it to those that pass buy for small pieces of non-precious metal just like they did in ancient Mesopotamia and you'll finally have done your part to at least not be part of the problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stcardinal:
I am hoping the dock will go on sale. Then it'd make it all the same.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biffy:
Umm am I missing something? Wasn't it always obvious they were going to bundle them together and it would work out cheaper than buying separately?!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgrey1701:
I happily took Asus up on their early adopter deal and paid them £50 for my dock which is now for sale seperately at around £100. I sincerely hope they don't accuse me of ripping them off on a forum somewhere - that would make me cry lots :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Just one point on this - Amazon.co.uk didn't have stocks of the bundle until quite a while after the tablet only. In addition, the pricing of the tablet only is much higher in the UK than it is in the US (even after excluding VAT), and the bundle price just brings it closer to the total cost in the US for the tablet and the keyboard. Clearly Asus had a different marketing strategy for the TF for the UK than it did for the US, but the total cost for both TF and dock was broadly similar.

As has been discussed before, it seems that Asus make almost no money on the tablet itself, and instead try to recoup revenue from sales of the keyboard. I guess that since the TF has been very successful, they've ramped up production such that they are now making more money on the tablet itself and thus can now afford to reduce the price of the keyboard accordingly.

As an early adopter of technology, I know that I'm going to be paying a premium for buying early since prices only tend to fall, and this is going to be doubly so for Android HC tablets which are now started to flood the market from a variety of manufacturers at a variety of price points.

Of course it sucks if you've just bought a dock for $150, but it's certainly not usual.

Regards,

Dave

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
Amazing: The nature of technology is it will be cheaper and more powerful the day after you buy it. If you want a combo at $50 less than you paid, just wait a month or two. If you needed a USB port on your tablet there are lots of other choices with one. XDA provides any potential technology buyer with EVERYTHING they need to make an intelligent decision. Why do people expect their gadget to perform any better than the majority of the ones reviewed. Not trying to be mean or defend ASUS, but just don't understand.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
Do you remember why Apple gave out the bumper cases??

Because they did not, and still do not, have a fix for the antenna attenuation problem that causes the signal to drop when you touch certain parts of the phone. Giving people a case that costs them a few cents was a way of avoiding of having to recall all iPhone 4s for a proper fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bithir:
Errr...

I ordered my combined bundle on the 16th of May (UK).

While the whole set has not been out in CA for long time - any basic research would have turned this information up. Pad + Dock combo has been known to be cheaper than Pad + Dock in every country up to date and obviously, by your comment, it includes CA.

So, I guessing that you did not research what options there are out there and just grabbed single retailer and now you annoyed on Asus because your retailer shafted you? I bet you money on the fact that your retailer knew exactly it being on the way and what price picture they were going to apply to this deal.
