[Eee Pad Transformer General] Meister_Li:
So... My Transformer has a bit of a bug, where when I am charging it or the charger is plugged (separated or in the dock), the touchscreen would become unresponsive unless I also touch the metal of the Transformer with my hand simultaneously.

Now, that Tablet is about half a year old and it suddenly happened from one day to the other.

Naturally, I researched it first, and I found that a few people had similar problems. Suggestions ranged from completely discharging the battery to updating the Tablet - I tried them all, they all didn't work.

So, I send in a request to ASUS support - in the UK, and after a bit back and forth (like asking what version the Tablet was running at), I was referred to their exchange and repair-service.

So I contacted them, and it seemed to work out quite well. The tablet was collected and I included the charger as well as a description of the issue.

At some point I got an answer - in polish, for whatever reason - that told me the tablet was repaired and sent out. A bit weird that it was in polish, but oh well, I can deal with it.

So I finally get it back, wrapped up very nicely. With a little note (in English this time) saying that no issue was found. Awesome. Maybe you could've informed me via Mail before just... Sending it back with that note. Maybe I could've helped them to reproduce the error.

Needless to say, as soon as I plugged the tablet in, the error was back. They reset the Firmware tho. Nice guess.

So yeah, stupid support, not helpful at all. I will consider that in future purchases. -_-
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Just to point out the obvious. How do you know it's not something YOU are doing?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Meister_Li:
I don't know what I COULD do to make this happen... I mean, there's not too much you can do wrong with plugging in a cable.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] canedha:
have you tried pluggin it in at a friends house?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
It could be static build up. Perhaps your house has carpet that builds up static when the air gets dry from running the heater. Since the screen operates by capacitance from your fingers vs. pressure, this could be an issue if you are holding more than the expected charge. Do other people experience this issue with the device? How about if you use it in different locations?

My Nook Color will double or sometimes 10X enter a keypress when I use it when it is connected to the charger. The fix is to not use it on the charger.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gls9:
Did you try to change the charger plugged in the wall socket ?

I mean turn around.

It sounds silly but I read about people get a little "shock" if they touch the tablet when the charger plugged in, depending how it is put in the wall socket.

Maybe you will see a difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nutsonfire:
I had to send mine after less than a month having it because something appeared between the backlight and the screen.

I got it back one week later with a dead pixel right in the center (and lightbleed) and left speaker not working.

I sent it back and got it back two weeks later with working screen and speaker but a lot of lightbleed.

I then gave up on sending it back again and learned to live with the backlight bleed which is present at least one third of the circonference of the screen.

So I mean yeah they will fix it to a degree but don't expect perfection...

I opened up GetJar and stumbled upon Smart Office Plus which is currently being distributed there for free. I noticed that it renders PDFs pretty well, so I tried throwing at it the files that nearly every PDF reader grinds to a halt on... large entire transit system PDF maps. I am duly impressed - when I zoom or pan around, the map renders in 1-2 seconds and never crashes. I cannot say the same of any of the following other readers I've tried - Adobe Reader (although it used to be far worse), Aldiko, ezPDF Reader, QuickOffice, Good Reader, PDF Viewer, and many others.

So if you still don't have an ideal large-PDF viewer on your NC, try this one out :)

Have you tried Mantano? It works really well on large pdfs...but what is your definition of large? Mantano has no problem opening up magazines of 100mb or more in size.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cmstlist:
When I say "large" I mean one large page, which is the case with many transit maps. It seems that most PDF viewers are okay with large multi-page files such as magazines, but not with large single pages, even if the file is not that large (2-3 MB). I have not tested this with Mantano.

Try the TTC (Toronto) PDF system map for example.

http://www.ttc.ca/images/fixedImages/TTCRideGuide.pdf

If I open it in Adobe Reader and try to zoom up close, it gets all blocky and takes a good 30+ seconds to load clearly. In ezPDF it produces a similar result. This had been one of my Android pet peeves for over two years (and iOS too has trouble with it) seeing as I'm a transit geek :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
That is a monster pdf file.

On a side note, why not just use an app like Transit Now Toronto so you won't have to use that huge file?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cmstlist:
It's nice to have apps like that but they are not a replacement for a complete transit map. If I'd like to see where the routes go and what are the routes in an area, what I need is to see the system map.

And in general, not every transit agency has that information bundled into an app. I also like to be able to look at city bike maps when I'm traveling with my bike in another city, and the official PDF maps have far better information than Google's bike map.

Just playing around with Smart Office, the one caveat I've found is it sometimes refuses to open protected files (although I do have a program to crack them).

Adobe Reader is not as bad as it used to be - I can open Vancouver's Translink system map in there with reasonable speed, but it still chokes on TTC's.

Ultimately, yes these are "monster" PDF files, but if you were to load them on a single-core 800 MHz PC with limited RAM, they'd still load in time and not crash the whole system, and they wouldn't have a severely limited zoom capacity. It's just badly written software that prevents these files from being accessible.

I know this is frowned apon at XDA but can someone PM me or post the apk. I tryed getting it from GetJar and it doesn't work... It loads but then doesn't respond to touch.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Imbroglio:
I just got smart office plus and when I tried to view a 20 meg, 338 page book I got a memory full errror and some pictures didn't load or were strangely formatted with black block backgrounds. If I view this same pdf with adobe it correctly displays everything, but it takes a while to bring the blurry/text images to sharp.

I looked though the help file but it doesn't seem to have a trouble shooting section. Is there some setting that would help fix the memory problem?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cmstlist:
No idea. For files with a lot of pages, Aldiko might be a good choice.
[Kindle Fire General] Xandralia:
Hey everyone! I am not new to Android, but I have only had the Kindle Fire for a few days now. I am having a blast with it! I knew that XDA would be the place to come for all my KF hacking needs and you didn't disappoint. Within hours of my KF being handed over by MR. UPS, I was rooted and customizing.

You even saved me from having to go through it all over again because I was informed of the 6.2.2 update before it even hit and was able to prevent it from coming OTA. I manually updated the following day with the file provided here.

So I just wanted to stop in and say Hello, and thanks for all the great information and help! I can't wait until the ICS ROM is running with video and sound so I can load it, too. Sadly, those are two key functions in my desire for the KF so I have to wait for my ICS love.
[Kindle Fire General] jdommer:
Hello and welcome.

ICS is actually possibly farther along than you think. Sound appears to be solved.

Video works sometimes. My biggest issue at the moment is the CPU seems to be pegged, so you can just see the power dropping off.

But all in all, ICS is such an improvement that I'm going to try to run it as my daily.
[Kindle Fire General] rolyatkcinmai:
Does the ICS rom still allow access to the Amazon features, or only via apps like Amazon MP3, Kindle, etc?
[Kindle Fire General] Rocinante2000:
HI, yes the KF is turning into quite a nice little device.

Kindle app works well on ICS, I love the interface with ICS. No more tiny fonts like with CM7.

The Amazon Prime Videos will not work with ICS, however I could get Prime videos running under DolphinHD when i set user agent to desktop on CM7. Web Videos are currently hit and miss on ICS but I am sure once that JackpotClavin (You rock sir) has done his magic we can access Prime Videos again via the web browser.

Have not tested MP3 from Amazon, but Google Music does work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wrathofnero:
I've noticed here recently that when I turn on my phone, it displays standard time, then military time, which it is set to. Sometimes, it will show an outdated time before it updates itself. We're talking a matter of seconds, but I didn't know if anybody had an idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] doggyollie:
I see the same thing. It's annoying.

Especially the standard time to Military time.

I could partly understand the update in a time from when the phone went to sleep, or screen is shutoff to when it wakes up, but this is poor programming.

Anyone have an idea for a fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phoenix84118:
Once my phone was off 20 minutes when I woke up. It would update each minute just fine, except it was off exactly 20 minutes.

I had to reboot to fix it. I don't believe I was stock, but I don't remember which kernel I was running. I flashed it again shortly after that.

Hasn't happened since.

This is one of the many reasons I NEVER trust the alarm on a phone. I've had problems of them not going off even back when I had a razr.

If I'm travelling, I'll make sure to set the alarm on at least 2 phones (if I'm with others), just in case.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
So, I recently visited my sister and noticed something. They had 3 TF101's. 1 for her husband, 1 for her, and 1 for her 2 year old. He likes to play puzzle games and stuff on there. I'll try to get a video of him using the transformer. Pretty funny and scary watching a 2 year old pressing on the apps drawer icon and then swype through the pages of apps going into certain apps to do things.

She's also got 2 more boys: a 6 yr old and an 8 yr old. Just got off the phone with her. They just ordered 2 more, 1 for each boy. So, that will be 5 TFs in her house.

So, her reason is this. Other families got x-boxes, wii's, 360, etc. for their kids. Her husband and her decided that the TF would be perfect for the boys. They'd be able to entertain themselves as well as do school work with them. She said she got this idea when her 8 year old borrowed his daddy's TF+dock and did research on animals with it for school homework. He also used it for an excel spreadsheet to keep track of who was coming to his b-day party a couple months ago.

It actually made sense to me. Rather than get the boys a gaming platform where they could only play game with, why not get them a little computer and let them be productive as well as have fun?

Her husband is a phd engineer. She's a mathematician. So, I'm sure they know what they're doing. Still, don't you think it's kinda weird that they already got 3 TF's in the house and that 2 more are coming, 1 for each member of the family?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swan3609:
5 does seam a bit excesive, but also it makes sense over getting game systems.. I could see having 3 or 4 transformers and the 2 docks to share among them.. Also using emulators now, you can use xbox360,ps3,wii controlers to play all kinds of games.. If given the choice of all the modern came systems or a TF+dock, I would totally choose a TF..

The TF is so useful.. I use google docs to do all my school work, researchfor school, do online math. Then Netflix, tons of games, then I dual boot Ubuntu to do my Computer science work and have a full OS when I want a full OS..

My TF has been a savior since I broke my wrist.. I cant write but I am able to write notes and Homework down with a stylus and the the keyboard for notes.. I would be lost with my broken wrist if I didnt have my TF..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
I guess times have changed. Not too long ago a 30 inch TV was big. Nowadays my 58 inch plasma looks normal and kinda small after I visited my brother who's got a 70 incher.

I actually have no idea what with all these 360 or whatever these days. I don't game. In fact I've got zero game on my tf, hehe.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
Heck I'm thinking of getting another tf cause my little girl don't want to give it up once she's on it.:D

I guess it's good they each get their own so no fighting over tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
VerbTeX is also awesome, in case anyone writes scientific articles or lab reports. Of course.. the PDF rendering part is a little less awesome than using LaTeX on a laptop, but still it's very awesome in that sense. I used to play FFT on my TF and I still can, among other games (but school came around so I had to stop..). Unfortunately, the only thing I can think of that is unappealing is that I can't run Ragnarok Online on this.. I shouldn't, but I'd like to be able to.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Col.Kernel:
I think it's in-freakin'-credible! Wish I could afford to get one for everyone in my family.

Having said that, my TF101 is going to my wife shortly after my Prime comes in. Her Nook Tablet will go to my 4 yr old grandson, and my daughter (the boy's mom) has an Acer Iconia A100.

We live in a connected world, and the advantages individuals can take of that connectivity can make us far more productive ~ both toward our personal goals and in our professional lives.

Why shouldn't everyone have one?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xyphoid:
In 1998 I began writing a sf story in which every person had a personal Datacell. A tablet (but the size of a PDA, because at that time PDA's were what I used) that was used to send messages, call or search for info. In the story two guys in a school started fighting. The moment they started fighting they both got a message on their Datacell from the principal to come to the principal's office.

So I don't think it's weird that everyone has a personal tablet. But to buy an extra one for a two-year-old is a little over the top.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
That's what I thought, too, when I first heard about it. But you really have to see it to believe it. I must say, it was the most incredible thing I ever saw. A 2 year old navigating through android and opening apps. I really should have started recording a video. In a couple weeks, my g/f and I will be driving down there again to visit. I'll record a video then. It's freakin' weird seeing a 2 year old... I guess I'm just not used to seeing 2 year olds navigating a computer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] num1gever:
wow nice story/ i wish in my country (israel) it would be that cheap that a could afford more than 1 TF.

but it realy is that usefull. im also doing with the TF almost everything. in fact the only thing i do on my desktop pc is all the big files transfering and downloading that on the TF i simply dont have enough storage space to do that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neidlinger:
5 Transformers is a bit much. Esp for a 2 year old. I have a 2 year old daughter and she doesn't get to play with anything but a fully enclosed iPod touch. I couldn't picture giving a toddler a 500.00 "toy".

must be nice to have that kind of money.

How about a 92" (1080i 60+FPS) projector in your living room?

To give you an idea. The little blue line at the bottom is a 42" TV.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spidey01:
I like the idea of 1 each, although the two year old is just scary to think about....next time I tell my mom (63~64) to go to a website and push a button on it, and she sulks away saying she's not computer literate (She just wants crap done for her instead of having to READ English and THINK), I'm gonna tell her that some two year old has already mastered an Android Tablet, just to listen ti what she says :-).

Really glad they're getting each kid there own though. Learning to share is good and important but some family's that make kids share, also forget that everyone also wants to have sth of there own too.

Grr, when I was like 4yo, I had a SNES, and we each had smaller 20somethig inch TVs, and VCRs. Then like a 27" + VCR in the living room. That was considered excessive. Back in December when I was staying with my fiancee and her family, I nearly fainted when I noticed an "Old" TV that was practically wider than I am tall, so it was at least a 60" beast.

I'm getting old and TV's are getting bigger than I care to watch :-/.

We got 1 TF and we share it (me, wife, son-7,daughter-3). My 3-year-old loves 'where's my water' and she can navigate android better than most iphone users. :p

There are times when I wish we had another to keep the kids from fighting or to give me a chance to use it more but not enough to warrant spending the money. Anyway, the kids already have DS's and we have a wii,360,& ps3 so there's no room to complain.

We spread our device consumption out over many years, though... I couldn't imagine shelling out all of that cash in the same year for the same product 5 times for the same household unless I had tons of money to throw away... which I don't. :/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aburgthing:
I made the gruesome mistake of telling a co-worker that I was getting the Prime and when she asked if I would sell my TF101 I told her sure; $300 bucks and she's been bugging me ever since. However when I told my wife I was getting the Prime, you know what happened right? Now I have to keep coming up with partially true stories e.g. waiting for bootloader unlock, waiting to see if WiFi is corrected by software updates, waiting to see if the 700 is going to be released soon blah blah etc. Me and my BIG MOUTH :o
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sandiegopaneraiguy:
I gave my TF to my 5 year old son when I bought the TFP. When I returned the TFP two days later there was no way I was going to get the one back from my son... So I had to buy another one.

He has (2) WII's, one in his room and the other in the family room and neither has been played since he got the TF. At 5 years old he has his email address that him and I communicate through, his games that I installed for him and he loves it. He is such a little tech geek. I wonder where he gets that?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] morbidrealities:
My wife has an iPad 2 (but had a droid phone..go figure) my two boys (3 and 7) share a nook color. My daughter has a Thrive (she's broken 4 phones an iPod touch and a Nano in 2 years hence the rubber Thrive with a nice expensive case and insurance). My MIL has a Kindle Fire. And I have a Prime and a TF101. My boys take extra care of their tech. My 3 year old borrows / steals my TF101 whenever I'm not looking but he knows where we keep the lens wipes and wipes it down every time. I keep all the games he's allowed to play in a specific folder and he just goes there when he wants to play. He also knows how to use Netflix and find all his Thomas movies in the queue. Pretty amazing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
My 5 year old just got a Nook Tablet for Christmas for games and books. He also plays on my transformer. The nook stays at his grandparents to give him something to do over there. He likes the stupid android games better then consoles (except the classic Mario games we downloaded on the wii).

Does anyone know if the USB JIG actually works for resetting the flash counter? I've ordered mine but haven't got it yet.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] eggwolio:
My girlfriend has a jig at her house for our original Captivates and I had meant to test it before I left this morning but forgot. I will give it a shot on Thursday night, if you haven't received yours by then. I've been curious about it, too.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] vil33:
Mine won't be here for a couple of weeks so it would be awesome if you tested if it can reset the counter.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] eggwolio:
How do I check the counter? I was just curious if it would put the phone in download mode. Hehe.

Hold power and vol up while booting which should take you to the ODIN screen and keep going through and you will see the number of times you flashed.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] vil33:
Is it the old style one? I ordered that and it only put it into download mode without any indication of resetting the counter.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gattman:
Not sure. It said its for the SGS II and would remove the yellow triangle. I hope that because its for a newer phone it will work. If not I'll see if I can find a different one.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] vil33:
The one I linked has a usb cable attached to the jig which is supposed to work for the newer ones, I don't think the SGS II will work.
