[Asus Transformer TF701] derekk1:
I did two factory resets, no luck. I called Asus Tech support and they were no help either. Since I'm able to fix this problem until reboot (by toggling Smart Saver on and off again), I still think this is software related and fixable, but I couldn't get the Asus Tech who reads from a limited set of responses to escalate the case to an engineer. He just said to return it and try another unit so I guess I'm going to do so. I will report back if the new tablet fixes this issue or not.

If anyone stumbles onto this thread later on and wants to try to duplicate my issue, try this. Turn both Auto Brightness and Smart Saver off. Restart the device. Smart Saver and Auto Brightness will still be off. However, the screen will still be stepping brightness up and down. Go to the Home Screen and pull the status pane down by swiping down from the top of the tablet. This will cause a change to the screen color and dim the screen (this is completely normal). However, in my case, about 3/4 of a second later, the screen will dim again (also looks like a quick flash). It does this second step every time at exactly the same ~3/4 second delay after I lift my finger off the screen. Pull the pane down again. Turn Smart Saver On, then turn it right back off again. The problem will disappear again until the tablet has been rebooted again.

This behavior can be extremely annoying when web browsing or using applications as the screen is constantly adjusting brightness such as stepping up and down 2 or 3 times while scrolling around on a single web page.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
Mmm, mine doesn't behave like that.

Power saver off and auto brightness off it stays at the setting I set it to.

Same was on my first 2 TF701 units.

I don't use auto brightness at all, even not on my TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF701] derekk1:
Thanks for the reply. I'm at least encouraged by your post that my replacement will be fine. If not, I'll just keep swapping until I get a good unit. Amazon makes returns easy.
[Asus Transformer TF701] derekk1:
I just got my new TF701 from Amazon (very fast as usual). Unfortunately it is doing the exact same thing. I wonder if this is an issue with US units only? I still haven't gotten any response from Asus and I'm really getting frustrated because some of you aren't seeing this behaviors at all. Since I now have two defective units (and others are seeing it to), there clearly is something going on here. But why is another user like Snah001 not seeing any problem? Exactly the same damn problem. I turn off auto brightness and Smart Saver, everything is fine. Then I reboot and the tablet becomes a piece of crap randomly adjusting brightness on its own until I go in and enable/disable Smart Saver. Anyone else having this issue, please email Asus at their Escalation number. Unit #2 going back to Amazon and I'll be ordering #3 tomorrow.

Anyone think that this might be related to Nvidia's Prism technology? I know that alot of people have reported screen flickering on the Nexus 7 and a few other Tegra tablets which has been traced to Prism. There is even an app to disable it (but requires root) for the Nexus 7. Maybe this occurs on other peoples units but they just aren't as sensitive to it or maybe don't power down their tablets often?
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
Again, built in light sensor. I'm from the USA. Mine does what is suppose to do in regards to the ambient light sensor and the lighting in my environment...
[Asus Transformer TF701] Aaroneious:
Built in ambient light sensor is for adjusting auto brightness. I have never had an android device where the brightness fluctuates when auto brightness is disabled. Kinda defeats the purpose dont you think? If auto brightness is disabled the brightness should remain constant unless you're in an app like kindle where it has its own brightness adjustment. Screen brightness fluctuating while browsing the web is not normal. That and the fact it's possible to make it stop by turning smart saver on and off again undeniably makes it a software issue.

Mine started exhibiting this behavior today after a reboot. US SKU with 4.3 update applied via ota. All stock, no root or unlock or anything. Serial# says 072259.
[Asus Transformer TF701] arclight25:
What browser are you using? The default Asus browser dims pages while loading. In the browser settings it can be disabled. I have seen this as well when do use that browser vs chrome.
[Asus Transformer TF701] derekk1:
You are right that some browsers do have an auto-dim on page load to save battery. This is with the stock browser, but the same issue occurs with almost every application. It is also completely fixable by toggling Smart Saver On and then Off again (until reboot or some other events).

For the other poster (on the light sensor). There is an auto brightness setting which you can enable which then uses the ambient light level to adjust brightness. That is not the issue here. What we are experiencing occurs even with auto brightness disabled. I've also tested with the sensor taped over with black electrical tape and with a bright light constantly shining on it and it makes no difference. This is not a light sensor issue. I made a Youtube video and posted it separately. Please watch if you don't understand the problem or aren't seeing it yourself. If you never reboot your tablet and don't alter your settings, you just might not ever experience it. It's also possible it is only affecting some regions. That is what I am trying to determine. Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF701] improvius:
I've been using the comixology app (which is great), and the problem is really easy to see and highly annoying in it.

Man, I really want to like this tablet. I mean, there's a lot I love about it, if it would only work correctly...

EDIT: Could it be this "smart dimmer" thing? If so, I guess we'd have to root it to fix it. Now way am I voiding my warranty to get this working. Screw this tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
Rooting doesn't void the warranty when it's totally reversible
[Asus Transformer TF701] Rikodu:
But unlocking your device does, and it's irreversible. The problem is that if you want to root , you have unlock :) ( at least for the moment )
[Asus Transformer TF701] roustabout:
(I'm basing this on an hp slate 8 pro - tegra 4 and I've been curious about whether anyone else has seen this)

On the Slate 8, at low brightness, with auto-brightness off, the screen flickered quite annoyingly when reading / web browsing at night, etc.

I found a file at /etc/power.fig.rc and, reading through it, realized that as shipped, HP had enabled smart dimmer at all power settings even if the "tegra prism dynamic backlight" feature was disabled.

I changed the values in the last line of the file from "1 1 1" to "0 0 1," rebooted and the flickering went away.

/sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/smartdimmer/enable 1 1 1

to

/sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/smartdimmer/enable 0 0 1

If you're rooted, this option's available to you. For the 701, check the three very similar stanzas - on the HP device (which doesn't match any of the canned resolutions in the file) the last stanza is the one to change.

Or just change each occurrence of the string.

the values are what the system uses as its setting for max performance, balanced and max power saving modes.
[Asus Transformer TF701] blickley:
I definitely have this issue. Mine doesn't seen to have anything to do with a reboot though. If I have smart saver turned off and auto brightness turned off, it constantly adjusts the brightness up and down automatically. It is most noticeable in a very dark room if I have the brightness all the way down (such as in bed at night). It is very annoying.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Zeblade:
Lol just bought one to test got it yesterday. Mine does this brightness thing with 4.3 on. Now Asus told some one on Amazon that had this problem to turn off AUTO BRIGHTNESS.. that was why it was doing it. I've played with (since Jan) Toshiba, Sony, HP, Evga (Nvidia), Kindle HDX.

Now with these and AUTO brightness on then it would change brightness. I just opened a app and the brightness changed twice. If it was once in a great while or I was like the only one with this problem then I would just replace it. Yet its EVERWHERE people bought one and replied.

I have noticed the same thing on some other tablets yet once and a great while. Not every time you use it. Hey its a great tablet after all these years ONE SPEAKER? I never use headphones. For me its kind of a deal breaker but for one speaker sounds really good. Once you hear the Kindle HDX.. just not the same on other tablets haha. Then only paying 349 32gb.. nice deal

I saw the HP with keyboard that is only in 16gb yet in EU you can get it in 32-64.

Anyway its nice but has its faults. Remember this is not about what you like or would but up with.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] momo2703:
I was reading through gsmarena's review and there seems to be some differences on the models and believe Tmobile has the N9000T model.

Seems the N9000 model according to gsmarena does not have 4k video recording and is made with a slower processor then the rest of the other Note 3 models. It also mentions a lack of LTE which makes me doubtful then or at the very least skeptical.

Question, does the Tmobile version then lack the 4k video recording?

N9005: Quad-core 2.26 GHz Krait 400 CPU, Adreno 330 GPU; Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset

N9000: Quad-core 1. 9GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7, Mali-T628 MP6 GPU; Exynos 5420 chipset

Question, does the Tmobile version then also have the slower exynos chipset as opposed to Snapdragon 800?

N9005: 2160p video recording @ 30fps, 1080p @ 60fps, 720p @ 120fps

N9000: 1080p @ 30fps; continuous autofocus and stereo sound

Thank you

I was wanting to install a custom recovery on my Jazz Ultratab C925. The thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189640 seems to be my best option. I have seen several posts where people seem to have problems, though, despite having a seeming standard partition layout. The post at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45689308&postcount=118 seems to explain the standard partition layout pretty well. My tablet seems to match exactly what's expected, except for the above referenced thread, my internal SD isn't called emmc, it's mnt/sdcard, and external is mnt/extsd. Is there anything more I should look at to help determine 100% that this recovery will work for me? Any advice would be great, I don't want to screw up my tablet. Like I said, I've seen people have problems despite having a seemingly compatible device, so if there's any way to figure out if it'll work or not without having to break something, that'd be awesome.

I remember reading in another thread that the IMEIs on the n5 don't register as an lte capable phone in AT&Ts system. You may need to obtain one from a phone that is confirmed to work on their LTE, or have CS generate one for you by telling them you can't find yours. Wish I could find the thread, but they get buried so fast around here.

Keep in mind that this info was from a few days ago so it could just be that AT&T wasn't prepared for the launch...they may have already fixed the problem.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sluflyer06:
If you put in a sim card from a HSPA only phone before switching to LTE or a new sim then you may need to do a factory reset. That was the only solution that worked to get me on LTE as I was also stuck on HSPA. Could be worth a shot if you don't figure it out.

Yeah just had to call at&t to have them re-switch on my LTE. When I was using an old iPhone 3gs they "turn it off". Thanks for all the support!

Hi Guys,

This is a guide on how to get CyanogenMod and fully functional UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER Galaxy S4 Developer Edition for VZW.

Once I got the phone I didnt find much help on how exactly to root the device and get custom rom loaded on it.

What bits and pieces of information I found was confusing... never the less after some reading I got to understand the basics of what needed to happen.

So here it is:

Files:

I take no responsibility for damaged devices. If you are not ready to loose your phone possibly forever keep it stock.

It worked for me.

All systems are operating at this point.

Small glitch with having to restart BT after I walk away from my car and get back in it and trying to reconnect to it.

The IR Sensor doesn't work. I saw that the drivers are being implemented with some of the nighly builds.... so its not far from being operational.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dbornack:
Picked up the One about 6 weeks ago... immediately had issues with the camera in low-light, like most have had..

Then last week, out of the blue the phone got pretty hot, and discharged completely from 90% in about 75 minutes, even while powered off.. It never took another charge after that. Went to Verizon, got a replacement sent to me.

Replacement gets in last night, it's essentially DOA. 90% of the time it has a screen with colorful snow (think back when TVs didn't have a signal, you know MacGayver and the snow storm). So I called today to get a replacement for the replacement.

If the 3rd one in 6 weeks is also bad, I'm demanding a NEW phone from VZW, and I'm getting a different model. Advice welcome on the new model.

I would advise against this phone if you're thinking about it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Sorry you've had bad luck, because this phone is pretty great. Most of us have NOT had the low light camera issues and what not. Hopefully the 3rd time is a charm for you. There are some other great phones out there too that are worth looking in to. I have a coworker with the Moto X and another one with the G2. Both were fun to mess around with. Wouldn't go with the X if you're worried about the camera much (it doesn't touch a functioning One camera) but other than that it's great. G2 was pretty neat too. Your isolated experience is not worth advising others to avoid the phone, though.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Flyhalf205:
You really need to go to HTC first if having problems like that. Verizon just sends you a new phone and it's a 50/50 chance its DOA. HTC should test it before shipping back. Then you will know 100% that when you get the phone back it will be working properly.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Mike02z:
I never order a new phone on line. I want to see it and mess with it to ensure it is fully functional. My mom recently wanted to move from an iPhone 4 to the One after seeing mine and my son's. We went to Best Buy and had to try 4 phones before finding one without the camera bug.

The sales idiot kept telling me that issue was on all One's. I covered my camera completly and showed him mine totally black screen unlike the first 3 he gave me which were purple when completly covering the camera. On the 4th one, I finally found a good one and shoved it in his face, I also made the comment that he needs to do his homework before arguing with a customer who obvioulsy knew a lot more about phones then he did.

I don't mind their ignornace until they speak to me like they are the "god of all phones" and I'm an uneducated idiot.

If the One is not your cup of tea, there are plenty of other choices out there. I think you just had some bad luck.
