Good thought, but it is not a temperature issue, as once I am throttled, I remain throttled, even if I turn off the screen and let the tablet sit for a while - plus, this happened twice with _that's OC kernel, which does not give me the temperature issues I get with Hund's. With _that's OC kernel, temperature max is the low 60's for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MHotovec:
Thanks, I figure I'll be going that route. If nothing else it'll clean up all the old junk off the tablet. :)

One question, how did you get TWRP to recognize the external SD Card after you put it back in? Or did you put the card back in then reboot back in to recovery after doing all the wipes?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You can set either up or down and to whatever temperature for your desire..:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShaolinMilk:
But ain't I still coming from the same ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] schmeggy929:
Yes but you are updating to a new firmware. Unless you like the risk of potential problems you can dirty flash. It is highly recommended to do a full wipe(including internal SdCard). Just backup the things you want to keep. Many problems are solved by doing a full wipe then flash a ROM, even if it is the same ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] primaleph:
Over on the data2sd thread, someone suggested looking into formatting the /data partition as F2FS. This seems like a really good idea if it's doable.

Also, given the buzz about multipath TCP on iOS 7, has anyone thought about implementing it in CROMi-X? I know it's already been developed for Linux...
[Asus Transformer TF700] EvilHomerClone:
I just rebooted. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I am having the same results as you and other have reported. One thing I did find is if you scroll veryfast the images and lettering appear but one the scrollong slows down or stops everything disappears again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cheltenham2004:
Yes that's true fast scrolling does reveal the site.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MHotovec:
Thanks for the tips.

Wiped and formatted everything, flashed 5.0.3 and it's booting up normally now.

I'm pretty good about backing up my data and having Titanium backups of my user apps, so getting it back to 'normal' shouldn't be too hard.

Chrome beta loaded page fine. No idea about stock browser

Woody

Transformer TF700T CROMI-X thanks sbdags _thats elesbb
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
Same here. The tablet powers itself on as soon as it's connected to the dock. Is this still the workaround or are some devices behaving different then others with respect to this workaround method?
[Asus Transformer TF700] cheltenham2004:
Yes I have it installed as well but prefer the stock browser
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yep it powers on......

Anyway the actual fix is to drain the battery on both the dock and tab so that it recalibrates both batteries correctly. Until you do that the issue will keep coming back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Have you tried playing with /sys/kernel/tegra_cap/core_cap_level? Looks like a voltage limit to me, and the GPU frequency should be directly derived from the core voltage (which is not equal to the CPU voltage, to make things more interesting :)). The step from 520 to 650 MHz is from 1300 to 1350 mV, so maybe setting it to 1300 already does the trick. Most likely you also have to set core_cap_state to 1. :)

If you don't select any of the fancy non-standard settings in the installer (or the same as last time), upgrading *should* work - but always keep a backup ready if it doesn't.

Very unlikely, especially since the GPU is usually not clocked at its maximum in the launcher. If you need a kernel with stock frequencies, I can recommend -that4. :)

This may be simply bad programming in the game. (testers usually focus on testing the game itself, not on letting the device sleep...) Paste a logcat when it happens again.

Check /sys/module/cpu_tegra/parameters/system_mode - it must be 3 for the overclocked mode.
[Asus Transformer TF700] primaleph:
It's not just one game. And this issue doesn't happen when it's been sleeping out of the dock. Or if I reboot before playing a game. I'm not letting it asleep with a game ruining, only trying to run a game after sleep.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
- Turn off TF700

- Put it into the dock

- Turn on TF700

- Don't start any games

- Let it sleep

- Wake it up

- Start game

So this sequence already makes the game crash? Can you reproduce it exactly in this way and post a logcat after it crashed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Thanks for confirming that _that4 doesn't OC the GPU - trying that kernel now - will report my findings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] primaleph:
Sure, I can do that. I will as soon as I have the logcat

[MENTION=933916]that[/MENTION]

Yes should be it, surdu_petru had a kernel for the tf300t that was stable for all its users(i never read of any stability issues) @ 1750 mhz cpu and 650mhz gpu

Out of interest, is this what asus uses to change performance modes in stock firmware?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes - I made a table in my kernel thread.

Mine doesn't power on when I connect it to the dock, but then again I have the newer version keyboard dock(with plastic bottom). And never had this draining issue many are having.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

You can't get any better confirmation than that! it is his kernel, LOL.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
I have the plastic-bottom kb and I'm having mega draining issues. Drained the Tab and the dock all the way, but I'm pretty sure this drain issue had drained it all the way before on it's own, so I doubt it'll have an effect, so it would've fixed itself.

Hunds said he had tried to fix it in his kernel; I'm still interested to know what it is he tried, and if those changes can find their way into _that's branch.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
So for the folks that have this drain issue - how quickly does a fully charged tablet/dock combo discharge? I'm just trying to get some kind of idea how long the tablet/dock lasts from a full charge - just to compare it with my "drain rate". I guess it's tough to truly compare though, since everyone uses the devices differently... Would need to test the total "standby" by without using the device I guess (but even then, it would differ depending on what apps are loaded (as many apps do work even while in standby mode).
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
When I fully charge mine tonight, I'll disconnect it fully charged, put it to sleep, and post my charge status in the morning after leaving it alone all night. I think that should give a pretty accurate picture. Stay tuned...
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I will be waiting with bated breath.

[Asus Transformer TF700] ShaolinMilk:
I'm having a dilemma right now. I'm still on the old CROMi 3.4.7 and I'm not sure if I should switch over to version 5. My tablet is still smooth as heck and I'm wondering, is the newer version that much better?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Only one way to find out ;)

Make a nandroid and give it a shot. But IMO: Yes, it is worth it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
As [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] predicted, the "blue screen corruption" issue still occurs with the [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION]4 kernel, so it's definitely not related the GPU being OC'd. For me, it seems to happen the most right after "waking" the device. Happens with both the current and the older Google Calendar widget (still downloadable from the Play store). That tells me that it's not an issue with the calendar/calendar widget itself, but something to do with the latest Asus update (I guess).

Oh well - I think I give up trying to solve it - I guess we'll have to wait for Asus to fix it...

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
LOL

Anyway, last night, Dock 100%, Tab 99%

This morning: Dock 88%, Tab 87%

When I got the tab with Android 4.1, the expected drain wouldve been about 2-3%, so the expected status would be Dock 100%, Tab 96%.

BTW, I did let both the dock and the tab drain fully before last night.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
You will likely have battery drainage issues. I'm considering downgrading for the second time in weeks. May actually do it this time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Wow! I am absolutely 100% sure that I don't have this "excessive drain" problem then! At most, I lose 2-3% overnight (like you used to with 4.1) - maybe even less.

I would love to determine what is causing that issue for some (most?) folks. I would have to think that it's related to a setting since I thought that I read somewhere that it happens even after a fresh install with no other apps loaded?

I do disable the "Power Saver" mode right away on my device - any chance that is the culprit?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
Worth a try.

Edit: It was disabled.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nomad10002:
Anyone having draining isssues should turn off there wifi before turning off your tablet. Ive tried for days testing different configurations. The issue seems to be the wifi. Ive gone three days without using my tablet(left it unplugged of course). On the third day I turned it on and the batteries where still in the 80s. Iv tried it multiple times. The drain issue stopped. Now I turn off my wifi before turning off my tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Damn - oh well, was just a theory!

For the record, I have my wifi set to be enabled 24/7 - it's never disabled, so that can't be the root cause... May be a work-around though.

Man, I'd love to know what's different here - it will drive me crazy until we figure it out! I have the old metal dock, by the way.

Also, I've found that leaving the tablet powered off for some time (like overnight) seem to be the best way to bring the battery back into calibration (per someones recommendation on this site).

When this drain issue happens, what type of deep-sleep percentage do you guys get - would be interesting to compare that on one who has the drain issue and one who doesn't. This is a hard issue to diagnose because of all of the options that our master [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] gives us - it's hard to compare apples-to-apples...

How do i change dpi settings ? Is there an app or zip or ?

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Read the second post in this thread.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
Just FYI, the drain happens with the latest stock firmware, so I'm sure sbdags is cleared on this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I am still using the calendar app from the stock ROM (10.6.1.14.4) and I cannot reproduce your problem. Is the Google app completely different from the stock one or just a newer version?

Maybe comparing logcats provides clues ... some apps/services causing regular wake-up alarms?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Not sure about the calendar app - I've tried that one that [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] includes as well as the one that is downloadable from the Play Store - have the issue with both. Apparently, unless you use the trackpad or a mouse very often, it's hard to reproduce (I use a bluetooth mouse most of the time). Even when using a mouse, I can somtimes go a day or two without it occurring and other times it happens multiple times per day. A few other have reproduced it though [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] even had it happen once), so I don't think that it's specific to my setup/device. The next time it happens, I'll check out the logcat to see if there is anything strange there. Just to be clear, you have to have a calendar widget on your home screen and use the trackpad/mouse to see the problem (intermittently).

I'll gladly provide a logcat for the battery drain issue (or non-issue in my case) if someone want to look at it!

Thank [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION]! I'm still using 5.0.2 and [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION]4 at this point. I might as well upgrade back to _that5 now though.

Saludos boricua.

The memory cache in br2ram for browsers was bumped to 100 MB. This may be giving you OOM issues. I reduced it back to 50 MB. Also, I also use only one browser (at least one at a time), as pretty much each browser gets a max 100 MB cache. If you use more than 1 browser I suggest:

- lower the cache size in /system/etc/init.d/70B2R to 50 MB

- if you need to use another browser, make sure to clear the cache of any other browser you are not using, and then close that browser.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Technically the browser won't claim the ram until it needs it. So it it is set ot 50MB or 100MB and is only caching 30MB, it will only use 30MB of RAM.

I don't think it should cause that issue - I have plenty of RAM free right now - 385MB with 2 browsers loaded and about 50 apps installed. I think something else is causing the issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Can you take a screen shot of the apps settings page, both downloads and running please.

Are you sure you haven't just filled the internal sdcard? What does the error message actually say?
[Asus Transformer TF700] f2bacon:
Just installed 5.0.3 deodexed and I can't tell if the first boot time is obnoxiously long (10 minutes+) or if I'm in a bootloop. Funny thing is it's bootlooping on my old bootlogo. Tips?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
I can just dump dmesg to a file, right? If so, have at it, please!

EDIT: never mind. Updated the post with output of

logcat -d -v time

By the way, what should I grep in the output to find what is causing the problem?

I've also tried to use Wake Lock Detector, but I don't know, I still can't predict how or when it collects statistics. As far as CPU Wakelocks, all I've seen there is some process called 1013 of type System(media), something about AudioOut_2, but I have no idea what it is; I turned off Google Now's feature that listens for you to say "Google" and accept a voice command just in case (unlikely). Also, in Google Services, something called NIpCollectorWakeLock seems to be insistent. Again, I don't know what this is either.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I have it sets at 100MB and my device is running fine. On average, my RAM is around 520MB Free. I let the kernel kills most of the old services on the background that were not in uses... :)

What ROM did you come from? If it is bootlooping maybe a bad flash (unlikely) or something is corruped on your data partition (more likely), in which case you'll need to format data from TWRP wipe menu. Warning it will wipe your whole sd card so back up your phots, music etc first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You could try to format your data partition on the next installation. It does help solving weird issues.. Good luck.. :fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] f2bacon:
I let the aroma installer do a wipe like recommended, I don't have an sd card, and I came from the pacrom "official". Maybe I should try installing from an sd card so I can wipe the entire thing spotless

At the RCK/Android/WIPE DATA screen it shows a small message

"Key driver not found.. Booting OS" Could that be something?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah OK that'll be your issue. You can't come from another rom without wiping data first I'm afraid. It just won't work.

Go into TWRP, Wipe, Wipe Data and then reinstall the ROM and it should work. Failing that try formatting data.

Sorry there is no other way to flash a stock based rom if coming from a non stock based.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Took a look at my logcat after I had the blue screen corruption issue - saw a bunch of these errors:

Obviously, the issue is OpenGL-related....

EDIT: The more I have this issue, the more I realize that it's probably not related specifically to the calendar app/widget at all - I think it's related to the new blue "highlights" when hovering over things with the mouse cursor (which is relatively new - it didn't use to do that). For example, when I hover over the calendar widget titlebar, it fades from solid blue to a transparent blue. I've also had it happen when hovering over the icons on the home screen and hovering over the "+" in the Gmail widget (to send a new email). It just so happens that the calendar widget seems to have the biggest/most "dramatic" blue'ness...

Help!

I've taken the plunge and tried to install Cromi-X. I followed all the instructions in this thread. There were many hi-coughs along the way: my JB version could not be rooted so I had to downgrade to ICS; the current version of TWRP could not be installed with Goomanager and I couldn't use fastboot so I had to use ADB to install it.

I finally installed Cromi-X. That''s where I'm stuck.

Booting up, I once got to 'Upgrading Android - optimizing app 19/40'. Then it got stuck so I restarted it. I reinstalled it again but it did not get further. I've reinstalled it a few times now. Sometimes it doesn't get past the logo, sometimes it gets stuck on an app.

Please help!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It seems that you have a bootloop..:( If you are comfortable with logcat, you need to pull it from your system so experts can find out what is going with your installation.... :good: Otherwise, you need to do a factory reset and format your data partition before flashing again.. :) It will solve your bootloop issue..

Check your bootloader version - it must be 10.6.1.14.x. If not, install sbdags' bootloader+TWRP combo.

You can't do them together. Install the bootloader, let it reboot or bootloop in your case, then flash the rom again.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ruud Westerhout:
Very strange for me :

-am on correct bootloader and TWRP 2.5.0.0, had 5.0 installed and running for some time now.

-all the time that sbdags provided 5.0.1 until 5.0.3 I have been using the tablet and was happy

-Titanic complained about not enough space for the next backup

-I deleted some file and decided to reboot in recovery to make another Nandroid, just in case

-TWRP complained also about the lack of space, probably I deleted from the tablet, not from the mSD Card

-rebooted to system and got in bootloop

Now how's that possible if I had this setup running for some time now ?!?

I can get into TWRP, can I copy some of the files from the tablet before I do a factry reset ?, I definitely would like to copy some files.

Am I right to expect that flashing 5.0.3 on top of this will not take care of the bootloop ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
TWRP has a built-in file manager, so yes, you can copy files to the SD/MicroSD card from TWRP. I would suggest saving what you need that way, doing a full wipe and re-installing...
