[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n3wDaddy77:
I was having the problem for a few weeks. I came across this thread and another which suggested that sufferers should:

i) re- flash to stock (factory) ROM

ii) disconnect / reconnect the battery.

Apparently this has worked for a number of users.

I haven't gone that far yet. I've restored to factory (through the OS), let the battery run dry and recharged to what seemed like100% while the power was off. My N7 had just started working again as it should (I.e.: not shutting down without warning when the battery reached 30% - 50%); but I'm still monitoring it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tone_Capone:
Cool beans.

When you say reflash back to stock rom, do you mean just the rom while keeping root, or relocking the bootloader and loosing root?

I just want this stupid issue solved and want to find the easiest way to make sure I can fix it.

Thanks again!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n3wDaddy77:
Hi. The process involves flashing the stock ROM using ADB and fastroot. Apparently if one wanted to send the N7 in afterward for warranty work, then they can re-lock the boot loader, but it's not absolutely necessary.

Here's a link to the thread that proposed the restore / disconnect battery process: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37581523

Here's a link to the step by step instructions for re-flashing to stock: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32075129

I hope this helps!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3369:
Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery worked for me. I had the same issue - charge to 100% (rooted, various custom ROMS), stays that way for hours, then dies on me at about the time a normal N7 would completely drain after a full charge. On other occasions, I'd reboot from 100% charge, and then I'd see 0% on my homescreen! But it would run like normal. Finally I bit the bullet and - removed the back cover, removed the battery, waited for a few minutes, admired this beauty, reconnected battery, made sure it was connected properly, replaced cover, and restarted and voila! All fixed!.. Battery charging up and down, and indicators showing normally. If you have it under warranty, probably best to have the guys at the store do it for you, else try on your own. Removing the back and disconnecting the battery isn't all that hard. Here's a YT video showing what to disconnect where -

P.S. - to remove the back cover, I used my fingers. You don't really need that fancy tool! Just be careful, that's all!

No tablet I have had has had light leakage. Between myself and family members, I have had time with the Acer A500, the iPad 2, the iPad 3, the TF300, the TF700, and more, and not even to mention the number of phones and other electronics I have used. I have never had a device with light leakage until I purchased the TF700. I swapped a broken A500 for the TF300 (under the best buy protection plan) and used that for a bit, until I got the TF700T 64GB Gray Model and my wife took over the TF300 and got a dock for it. The first TF700 had light leakage, and it got worse over time, earlier tonight the Best Buy finally got some 32gb models in, and my wife swapped my TF700T out for me. The first exchanged model still had light leakage, and the second exchange model as well.

Ive spent the last day or so researching light leakage, particularly on the TF700T. While I am no stranger to light leakage, I wanted to see if there was anything unique or common about it with the TF700T. Below, I have included a graphic that I hope helps to sum up the culmination of my research.

Yes, I know there is at least one other post about this matter, but this post is more for information purposes and not query purposes.

If you have light leakage on your device, I encourage you to report it here, and report where on the device your light leakage is occurring. That was we can update the graphic as needed, and help keep this information post as information as possible.

Thank You.

Mine has it, but really only noticeable during start up. Not really a psa, known issue. No point for the thread
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pete7ate:
This may be just an isolated problem
[Asus Transformer TF700] phoenixbennu:
I used to think that it was an isolated issue, until I started looking around, finding many reports for transformer models TF201 and TF700. Not to mention that in the images posted and the reports given, the leakage occurs at some of the same common locations.

I have had three of the TF700Ts that had light leakage. I would LOVE to find one that does not have light leakage, but it seems implausible. At this point, I may swap out for a galaxy note, but I do like the higher resolution.

Im glad to see that some people are not having this issue, but I wanted to post something for those that are, and to help consolidate the information that I found in many threads. I would like to hope that threads like this would be started for known issues, and not left to just random posts within random threads. Before I purchased my TF700T I would have LOVED it is someone posted more about known issues. Instead, all I read was great reviews, and now I am stuck going to and from the store trying to swap out my device for one that has no light leakage. Wasting gas and time and apparently annoying the hell out of the best buy employees.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DarsVaeda:
It would definitely not help to describe what light leakage is...
[Asus Transformer TF700] alienedd:
Question: Is there any proper way to test for light bleed? I tried using the "Screen Test" app suggested in the graphic and my light bleed doesn't occur. However, I know I have a little during startup so I know it's there but it goes away so quickly I'm not able to get a good look as to the extent.
[Asus Transformer TF700] phoenixbennu:
For those who want to complain about there even being a post with info on this matter, please feel free not to reply or comment. This post does not benefit from irrelevant and unhelpful replies. This post does not concern you. This post is for those of us who spent 400-600 bucks on a new tablet and have a "known issue" that should not be occurring on a 400-600 dollar device.

As for testing for light bleed. Keep in mind that light bleed is not an issue that will damage your device, but is more of a symptom of poor quality or potential other issues. However, minor light bleed is nothing to be concerned about. If you only notice it during boot, and no other time, than I would not be concerned with it. There are times that my light bleed is more prominent as well. Setting a black background and then checking it is also a good way to look at it. The best way is to get nothing but a black background, or as close to it as you can, and then being in as dark a room as possible.and turn brightness up as much as possible. This will help to clearly pinpoint bleed areas. Some people have also been known to use long exposure on a camera to capture the bleed.

For a little bleed, its really about how annoying it is and rather you care. However, too much light bleed, or bleed that is not around the edges, can be more indicative of a defective screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I also have light bleed in the same "Hotspots" that you've illustrated. Light bleed drives me nuts, but in this case, it's really only noticeable at boot-up when they set the brightness to full. It's not noticeable under normal use, unless you are *really* looking for and the brightness is set very high.

To be honest, if you don't notice it, there really is no need to "go looking for it" by turning up the brightness, sitting in a dark room with a black screen - who in the hell would normally do that!? Light bleed is a common issue on all sorts of devices and it is certainly not an Asus-only issue. Yes, even some the infamous iPads have light bleed.

Maybe you've been lucky as not *every* devices will have it, but the majority will have some amount of light bleed. As long as it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it! Obviously, if it's bad enough that you constantly see it (or it's in the middle of the screen or something like that, which is rare), then by all means exchange it, but I don't think we need to have everyone going through these stupid "try to find it" tests.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dmoney94:
Post pictures of your light bleed..so we can compare
[Asus Transformer TF700] phoenixbennu:
This is not meant as a witch hunt for light bleed. This is mainly to identify the details of the known issues, to inform the consumer. I never knew about this light bleed issue when I was reading reviews, but shortly after discovering the very noticeable light bleed issue on my device, I started seeing TONS of information coming from people having similar experiences.

The common issue with these posts has been the query as to whether this was normal or not? Should it be returned or exchanged? Why is it happening? Will it cause problems in the future? etc

I agree that we should not be sitting around trying to nitpick every pixel, but some people want to do that. It is up to the user. Not to mention that people should be aware of when there may be issues with their 400-600 dollar device. Though, part of the initial information was for people to understand that many of the devices suffer from some degree of light bleed. That way people are not freaking out, as I have been seeing them do on other posts and forums, when they see something small.
[Asus Transformer TF700] polish_pat:
i have 2 infinities, i have one and my dad another, I have a very very tiny leak, maybe smaller then the size of the white part of your nail, its right above the bottom right corner and only visible at boot. My mom has an ipad that has much much more light bleed and my sister a toshiba thrive that seems to have bled out light everywhere. Toshiba is terrible, what a crappy tablet
[Asus Transformer TF700] WarZ4XDA:
Leakage as well.

I purchased a TF700 Grey 64GB from best buy. I had a LOT of bleed in mine. The lower left corner where the back and home buttons are was very bad. It was a large area about 2 x 2 inch triangle in that whole corner. There was 5 other quite noticable spots around the rest of the picture. 2 on top, one on the right and one on the bottom right corner (not nearly as bad as the lower left). So mine actually had a lot of bleed.

Now its wasnt overly noticeable in normal use, but when I fired up videos / movies and it got to darker scenes the lower left corner really stood out.

I just yesterday exchanged my TF700 for a TF300. The 300 has some very small bleed spots, but they arent nearly as bad as all the bleed I had on the 700. I did the exchange (party because of the bad bleed) and partly because I felt the 700 was fairly buggy in terms of software. Often sluggish on many apps. The 300 I feel is a better performer atm. Most apps run better / smoother for me. However I must admit that I do miss the higher resolution of the 700 screen. Oh almost forgot - a big deal was the battery life was terrible. Watching a video especially, even just browsing and jumping apps my battery drained FAST. I was only getting 4-5 hours. I did the full charge cycle as directed too.

My vote is that I like the performance of apps and general use better on the 300. However the extra res on the 700 was nice (minus the light bleed). Everyone says the software is supposed to get better, but the big problem is you never know just how long that can take. Can be anywhere from a month or two to six months to a year before the 700 will be fully optimized.

I feel very conflicted, lol. I want a 700, but the 300 is better atm.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dmoney94:
I just received my new Asus TF700,and i see a lot of light bleed, this is my 3rd TF700 and I'm getting sick of these little minor details that Asus couldhave fix.

First one light bleed

Second one games flickering

3rd one light bleed...

What should i do?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Are all your purchases from the same store?

Personally I'd give up and buy something different.
[Asus Transformer TF700] phoenixbennu:
I no longer have my TF700. Havent had it for a while. Have the note 10.1 now. Absolutely LOVE it. Had a little bit of mild light leakage on one or two models, but its great now. However, I figured I should post the response I got back from ASUS about light leakage. Took them a while, and it is pretty bland and what you would expect to receive back. .... so nothing too exciting.

Good morning Mr. {EDITED},

I do apologize for the condition you have seen, regarding our tablets. At times, there can be production shipments that do have the same issues, since they were all manufacturered at the same time, causing defects such as this, to be evident. I want to assure you that this isn't the overall quality of our products, and if this was to happen after purchase, it would be rectified via repair, or replacement, directly from us.

I have light bleed in the same locations as the OP pointed out. Its especially evident because its mostly along the Android black status bar on the bottom. Sometimes I find myself rotating my tablet 180 degrees just so that its not as visible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
There isn't an option for me.

I get really bad light bleed when I turn on my tablet sometimes.

Then it fades away in a few seconds. I don't mean that I get used to it, it legitimately fades away. I have no idea how this is even possible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] stray_pube:
It's possible because during start-up the screen is at 100% brightness and then dims to what your settings are. Want to see it come back? Turn your brightness to 100%, hit the Super IPS button for good measure, and then go to your apps menu and look around the edges. :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Definitely not.

This happens even when I set the brightness to a consistent level (no auto tuning). It happens no matter what brightness I set it to.

When I turn it on (from sleep mode), it has bad light bleed but then it fades away after leaving it on for about 20 seconds.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Just got mine in today. The initial boot showed what I would call some pretty significant leakage in the "hotspots" you showed, but once it got to the setup screen only one spot is barely noticeable. With the brightness almost halfway up it's still barely noticeable with normal use, is that considered "minor?" I haven't tried watching any videos yet so I don't know how annoying it will be with black bars at the bottom.

I'll try to take a picture of it, but so far I'm a bit relieved compared to what you first see when it boots up. That looked pretty bad.

EDIT: Here is a picture that doesn't necessarily even show what I see. The bleed in the upper left isn't near as bad as my eyes see, but the bottom is fairly close I think.

Hello Gurus.

I have this strange issue with connecting my Laptop to the Portable Hotspot on my Galaxy S2.

I have the security as WPA2/PSK. Now when I keep it secured, I am unable to connect any devices.

While when I keep it as OPEN, it connects.

Any one can shed some light on this ?

I'm thinking about trading in my Droid 4 for a S3 only if there is a bluetooth keyboard case. I do know that they sell a bluetooth keyboard... I know iPhone users get access to a Bluetooth keyboard case... :mad: I really need the physical and i dont wanna carry around a bluetooth keyboard.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Why would you need a Bluetooth keyboard? On screen keys are so easy. I loved the keyboard on my old D4 but onscreen keyboards are on point this day n age. The iPhone bluetooth keyboard I had on my old iPhone 4S was garbage. Returned it within 3 days. But to answer your question, no there isn't that I know of n I'm almost positive there won't be one neither
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GoldenTiger:
Does anyone know for sure? I know someone who wants to get an S3 but the decision is predicated on getting a bluetooth keyboard case. I see them on china wholesale sites, anyone know of a US seller?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] macdroid01:
Maybe for you.

But I stil HATE onscreen keyboards. I came from a Droid 2 to S III. While the big screen is almost doable for typing, for email the entire screen is covered in landscape with swiftkey (samsung's keyboard is a pile of useless garbage in my opinion).

I'd pay a LOT for a slider keyboard case to make an S III like a Droid.

I've seen some flip wallet keyboards on alibaba.com from chinese wholesalers. They just stuck one of those generic BT keyboards to a wallet case. I want a good slider like the Boxwave Keyboard Buddy for iPhone.

S III has to be one of the best selling Android phones ever. I hope a company manufactures a slider keyboard case or at least a good wallet case. With a kickstand and slider keyboard it would be AWESOME.

I had a Droid with a kickstand case and it was fantastic, the sliding keyboard added height to use it on tables.

I don't know of any yet but like has been mentioned, pretty much any small bt keyboard should work. The problem is just attaching it to a case in a slick way.

Btw, I will say that I was unsure of the virtual keyboards until I started using SwiftKey. It has predictions and auto corrections which are amazing and I can touch type with it faster than I could with the hardware keyboard on my old phone

lately, i have experienced that, all the new roms, based on cm7X, have gprs connectivity problem for bsnl, india sim cards.

as suggested by a developer (sorry, i forgot the name), i copied the apns-conf.xml file from stock rom to /etc folder in cm7 based rom. but gprs does not connect as it should.

many cm7 based roms do not have the apn settings for bsnl. if an apn is set manually, the story is same... no gprs.

has anyone faced this problem.

because of this, i am restricted to stock roms and could not enjoy fabulous roms developed by all the developers at xda.

thanks.
