Tips&Tricks / Frequently Asked Questions

****

[ Q ] I've just bought my device and my battery is empty/almost empty,do i have to charge it for 8 hours before i can use the tablet?

No,you don't have to wait 8 hours before start using your tablet just plug the charger and wait until it get to 10-15% of charge then you can start using your tablet.Mostly it will need 2 - 3 hours for a complete charge and you will see a green light led when the battery is full.

[ Q ] I'm planing to let the device charge overnight,is there any risk of overcharging and battery damage?

No,there's no risk of damage for your battery because once the battery is full it will stop charging so overcharge is not possible.

[ Q ] My battery drains very fast ,is there a way to improve battery live?

IMO battery life depends very much on the way we use our device so i guess there is no real answer for this.Many users are asking about battery life and how to improve so have a look at this threads:

[HOW-TO] Battery saving tips

[ Q ] Do i always have to full discharge the battery before charging again?

Usually this is not needed for ion-lithium battery but if you do it once in a while it will help for better battery calibration.

[ Q ] Keyboard Haptic feedback doesn't seem to work even if that option is active

On your tablet please go to

Settings

/

Language&Input

/

Android Keyboard Settings

/

Advanced Settings

/ and make sure that "

Keypress Vibration Duration setting

" is set to 60ms or more.

[ Q ] The speaker is not loud enough,it's there a way to make it louder?

Many of us are using Volume + and it works very well on TF700 so you should give it a try.Also you can find more info here

[ Q ] No Audio when watching an .MKV movie with the stock player

Many .mkv movies have DTS audio and this format is not supported by the stock player so you will have to use a 3rd party video player.Try BSPlayer,it supports DTS audio and many other formats.

[ Q ] I get very low benchmark scores

Go to

Settings

/

Developer Options

and disable "

Force GPU rendering

" option

[ Q ] My screen constantly adjusts brightness even if auto-brightness is disabled

Yes,that is a "feature" called Dynamic Contrast but not all of us like it.Follow the directions from this post to disable but keep in mind that your device must be rooted.

[ Q ] Minimum brightness level is to low when Auto-Brightness is ON,how can i change that?

If your device is rooted you can easly change the brightness level for Auto-Brightness mode,see this post

[ Q ] I'm having issues getting my MicroSD card to work with TWRP Recovery,possibile reasons?

That could me many reasons for this kind of issue but one reason could be a bad formatted card,see here

[ Q ] I have TWRP recovery installed and i would like to use an app to Reboot to Recovery,it's that possible?

Yes it's possible but NOT recommended because the application must send a custom command so if your recovery got corrupted somehow you could end-up with a bricked device...here's more info

[ Q ] I feel like i'm ready to try some Custom Roms now,are there any available?

Yes,our great user/dev are always trying to give us the bet for our device have a look at this Index thread

[ Q ] According to my battery stats,Wi-Fi connection drain my battery a lot,is this true?

Not really,the default battery stats are not accurate so probably it's showing wrong values so don't panic and read here

[ Q ] Stock recovery doesn't recognize my MicroSD card, any idea why?

Please make sure your MicroSD card is formatted in FAT32.

[ Q ] I don't need/trust the Asus Device Tracker service and i would like to disable it,is that possible?

Yes is possible to disable that service but keep in mind that is not yet confirmed if other services will be affected (OTA update or Bootloader Unlocking) and also your device must be rooted.You will find the disabling procedure here.

[ Q ] I would like to update the device via OTA update,any recommandation before i proced with the update ?

Some users reported isues (mostly boot looping or update failure) when applying and update on systems where system applications were disabled/freezed so i recommend you to enable these apps in case you have them disabled.
