[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Yes, it's a JB issue. I've only had it happens once, not seen it since.

It's just screen tearing. Happens on a pc, too, although there videocard drivers have Vsync options to forcefully match the refreshrate from the program to the screen to prevent screentearing. I suspect there's a difference between JB and the Transformer's refreshrate.

We're using an Nvidia card, has anyone send Nvidia a message? (I don't have the problem anymore, so I can't make a support ticket...) More likely to work than wait for Google or Asus to notice.

Also, I don't have root nor unlocked, but tp anyone who has, is there a way to change the refresh rate manually?
[Asus Transformer TF700] hayder94:
Should I do a factory reset after updating to JB? I noticed that it got faster, etc... But was wondering if it would still improve after a factory reset. If yes, how do I do a factory reset? And is there a way to have my infinity exactly the way it was (wallpapers, configurations, apps, etc.)?

So I shouldn't return my infinity? If it's a software problem... I'm sick of having to return this model.

I have also the same issue than OP. I contacted Asus by email to try and figure out what's wrong. I got the tablet on Monday and upgraded to JB right away, so I don't know if the problem was there before in ICS. But reading this thread I think that it's related to JB. It's a "good thing" though, because this is my second TF700 and I don't want to send it back, again. The first one had a very white spot in the middle of the screen..*. But no flickering black lines issue.

So, you guys think that they can fix this with the next release? :confused:

Are any of you setting options in Settings->Developer Settings? I have heard that the "Force GPU rendering" option was causing random reboots for some.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DARK SIDE:
Nope...force gpu rendering is not checked...

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I'm really not sure then. Personally, I haven't had a singe reboot and/or SOD though, so it must be something specific to the setup for the folks that are having this problem. If you really want to figure it out, I'd suggest a factory reset and try running the tablet without installing all of your apps/tweaks at the same time.

How often does this happen? Can you try running a "bare-bones" setup and see if it still occurs? If not, then slowly start introducing your specific apps/tweaks one (or a few) at a time. Yes, it's a pain, but it's the only way to diagnose such issues... Have you tried looking at logcat outputs at all? That's another way to try and diagnose the problem. These types of issues are very hard to troubleshoot - it's a slow, tedious process. But, since most folks aren't seeing random reboots and or "sleep of death" issues, it is fixable (unless it's a hardware problem, of course).

So, here's a few questions that might help troubleshoot:

1. Has this always happened on your device or only since upgrading to Jelly Bean?

2. How often does it typically happen?

3. Have you tried installing Jelly Bean from scratch (not upgrading ICS)?

4. Are you installing your apps "fresh" or are you restoring them via Titanium backup (or some other backup app)?

Again, there is no quick, easy solution to this type of problem....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
There's another thread going on this too.

Freeze and restart afer JB update

I am very new to android the TF 700 is my first device. I am also having problems

with my tf 700 after the last update to JB it is freezing and restarting.

If I was copying or loading large files it would reboot with ICS, but now

there doesn't seem to be a reason to cause it to reboot.

As my tf 700 has not been tampered with (rooted,any tweaks, etc) it seems to be a JB / ASUS TF700 issue.

Is there a way to monitor the system to determine what may be causing the problems?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
The best way to fix this issue:

1. Do a factory reset

2. Download full version .30 from Asus site, unzip and renamed the new file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip (if the name is correct you don't have to rename. Copy this file to the root of your micro SD card.

3. Turn off your device. Hold down volume down and power button to boot into recovery mode, once you see white text on your screen, release both buttons. By default your device should start to install the software and reboot by itself.

4. When your device came up, OTA JB will download automatically, wait until it's done, open up the notification and run the update.

That's it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hello-hello:
I downloaded the the file file from ASUS US_epad_user_10_4_4_16_UpdateLauncher.zip extracted it and renamed the extracted file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip. I wasn't sure whee to put it, so I copied it to the /SDCARD/ folder, to the external sdcard and even

made a root folder on it as well and copied it there. I could not go higher than the /sdcard/ folder as when I went to the top folder I did not have permissions to paste anything anywhere.

I did try to do the factory reset and now I get the android guy on his back with a red warning triangle for a while,

then it boots back to the normal screen.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
The sdcard that you tried to copy is your internal sdcard, you need root in order to access it. base on my instruction, you need to copy the file to the root of your external micro SDcard. (it's located on the side of your device). if you're not sure remove your external sd card and use your pc to drop to the root of the card. Don't create any folder.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hello-hello:
I did copy one file to the external card, as well as putting one in the root folder I needlessly created there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You only need to copy it to the root of the external sdcard, can you reformat your sdcard, usually a red sign is your device failed to read the sdcard. Second option is try to use .30 version instead of JB version.(using same procedures).
[Asus Transformer TF700] hello-hello:
After several attempts and getting the little dead guy several times I read another thread that said the card size may be the issue (64gb). The tablet sees it and can read from and copy to it, but the boot loader may not be able to read the larger card.

I will have to buy a smaller card and give it a try.

Thanks for all the help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] b1tt1:
Same for me. After Jelly Bean update, screen occasionally fickers very briefly in RepliGo Reader when viewing pdfs. Haven't seen it in other apps (for example ezPDF doesn't show this behaviour).

I'd guess it's a graphics driver/vsync bug in the updated OS. Clearly software related anyway, so no reason to change the tablet itself.
[Asus Transformer TF700] spondulicks:
I hope they can get this fixed soon.:) yea its really annoying every time it happens.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
I have seen this in plenty other apps including the xda premium app. I have seen it in the browser, and on several other apps. If I pay real close attention, I can see a black line 3/4 up the screen that flashes across horizontally when in landscape. How wide spread is this? Does everyone have it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] hello-hello:
I picked up a 8gb card and the update worked so there is a limitation on card size for updates.

Mine has been flickering occasionally since the JB update, too. Rooted, unlocked, did a factory wipe before and after JB update. I get a few horizontal lines for a second and then it's good for a few hours or more.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flamingsnot:
Yes i too have this issue, usually it occurs hwen running apps such as the dolphin browser, facebook messenger and the xda app.

similar issues + more:

- lag, slow animations ( cold reboot helped a bit )

- wifi drops out, or connection speed drops to 13mbps

- random reboots
[Asus Transformer TF700] hayder94:
I have traded my Infinity for a new one, there was several other issues. I was now going to update de infinity, but when I check to see if theres new updates, it says that there isn't any available. Why is this? This infinity doesn't have JB. Did Asus canceled the update for now?

But I don't know if I should update, with the other infinity, after I updated I had the flickering on the screen, and the browser started to become very slow.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
This update issue also happened to others also, so no surprise here. You have to update manually. If you have version .26, make sure you do a NFflash backup before update. If you do a clean update to JB, root then install browser2ram, I noticed that when I watch video the screen is flickering a little bit, that doesn't bother me at all. If you don't like it you could stay at version .30 and wait for a new upgrade for JB, then do the upgrade then.

EDIT: Asus is going to release the patch update for JB soon

Any of you guys with the "black flickering lines" tried CleanROM? I'm thinking about it, although since it's based on the same official JB ROM I guess that there's a good chance that the problem will still be there... But maybe not... I downloaded the unlock tool from Asus this morning, and was about to do it, but I chickened out...

Any of you guys did it? Care to report?? :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yes, the issue is still present, even in CleanROM. It's really not that big of a deal, to be honest - I hardly even notice it anymore (just got used to it)...
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Ok... Thanks! I think I'll wait then. Since I don't really have any issues with ICS... I guess that I could get used to it like you did, but still, it's frustrating...

Happened to me too, but I did 2 times factory reset and reflash full version JB and everything is runinng OK here. You may give it a try.
[Asus Transformer TF700] h?2:
I have the same issues, only since the JB update. I sure hope it's a driver issue that gets fixed and not some driver problems that permanently screw up the screen...

I am thinking about unlocking, but maybe I should wait until this is cleared up. Or can anyone confirm that downgrading actually fixes the problem and that thereby they are definitely not of permanent nature?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
If you're referring to the flickering black lines, I still get it very occasionally on ICS (manually downgraded from JB) when docked and when the cursor goes into hiding mode. It only happens then, and only on rare occasions. If I didn't watch for it, I wouldn't have notice it... On JB it was very obvious and it happened every now and then, and to me it looks like a driver problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Somebody on another forum hinted that maybe the black flickering lines problem could be solved by disabling HW Overlays in Developers Options... Can somebody else confirm? I would, but since I'm back on ICS, I can't... If this is true, then my next question would be: what are the drawbacks? I guess this disables some optimizations?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nadram:
I hereby confirm this simple solution to be a dementia suppressor.

Thank you for the tip, I just tried it (restarted for good measure) and flickering is history

I love this beast of a tablet.

I had the same issue on my Nexus 7. The update to 4.2 completely resolved the issue. I'm guessing that they updated the video card driver. Hopefully with the next update, this will disappear from the Infinity as well.

Hi All

I've seen lots of posts about random reboots etc on ICS, which looks like a software stability issue.

My problem is different and I was wondering if anyone has had the same!?

If my TFP has been left alone for hours (overnight), it will boot up and work ok for a while - say I'm able to watch a film on it on the train to work. However after a couple of hours use, it will randomly shutdown. It may be that when it boots, I can use it again, but it will gradually (actually quite quickly) get worse... to the point that when I try to turn it on, it only goes 5secs into the boot sequence before turning off.

I had this with ICS, and RMA'd it last week. Got it back yesterday and had it running long enough to install JB... but shortly after that had the same issue. So it's definitely a hardware thing.

It's being RMA'd again (next week) - and the issue has been escalated - so hopefully they can get it fixed this time!

Just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue? Or has any suggestions I can try over the weekend?

I've tried the usual - full charge, in the dock / out of the dock, cold boots, and numerous factory resets... none of which have improved the issue :(

Cheers

I'm stuck with the generic IMEI (004999010640000). I've tried a number of the various workarounds (GSII_Repair, manually deleting the /efs folder, flashing stock and trying both of those from stock, re-flashing CM10 and trying from CM10 again...) with no luck. I was actually missing files in my /efs folder before flashing stock, but even with the full /efs folder I can't find my actual IMEI. So am I screwed?

Honestly? Probably stupidity. I didn't even realize it was an issue until I noticed apps were confusing me for other users (apparently some apps identify you by IMEI). I may just see about getting a warranty replacement. It's been acting a little flaky lately anyway (a couple apps have randomly completely lost their settings). The tinkerer in me (the one that probably got me in this mess in the first place, although I'm not sure when it happened) wants to try and fix it anyway.

I tried recovering the files from the space, and was successful in recovering most of the pictures, but any large binary files (videos, archives, etc.) were corrupt. That said, I don't think there were any efs backups on there anyway, and I was having this issue before the space was wiped, I just didn't know the IMEI was the problem.
