Screen issue and Shutting down after ICS same issue? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

So this time when my TFP shut down I got white lines across the display.
I have a thought, maybe some of you can test.
ICS is supposed to use hardware to do screen draws.
What if what we are seeing is the GPU overheating?
It sure looks like it to me... also if the "update fix" is to slow down the GPU this would suck.
Any way to test this? aka have some external way to cool it and see if it still crashes?

I'm not so sure it's related to the GPU overheating. Sometimes it happens while the tab is booting up, before I've even had a chance to stress the GPU. Also, last night I got in a fairly long game of Shadow Gun, then exited out and was able to use the browser for a while and *then* it locked up.

It's definitely not overheating related mine does it once every 1 to 3 hours no matter what it's doing even idle overnight. The developer that took my log files said it looks like a Linux stability issue.......

Well software fix would be better than flawed hardware.

Wake Up Lag

Has there been any resolution to the 1 - 2 second wake up lag yet? I've seen several "fixes" like reducing the resolution of the lock screen wallpaper etc but none of these work for me. I've experienced the lag on KE7 stock ROM, Cognition ROM, Villain ROM and now on Lite'ning ROM.
Not sure if I agree that it's being caused by the CPU clocking down when the phone is asleep either. When I use SetCPU to set the minimum clock speed to 1.2Ghz the wake up lag is still there.
Also the lag does not occur when the phone is plugged in and SetCPU is telling me that the phone still clocks down to 200Mhz when asleep and plugged in.
Someone must have some idea what is causing this #$%$## lag.
I use Softlocker Free for this.. Works perfect for me, a bit reduced battery life but not enough to stop me from using it..
Thanks for the reply. I tried Softlocker a while back and found the battery drain pretty heavy. Might give it another go. I was thinking there must be a permanent fix for this lag problem though. Hopefully it's just a matter of someone finding it.
I also noticed the lag on my old i9000 as soon as I updated to GB so know this is across the different samsung models on GB in addition to SGS2. I really do think its the clock going down despite your setcpu settings. Use cpuspy free from market and you will see what I mean. Once its in standby it goes into deep sleep which I believe is lower than 200? But set it to 1200 min and see if cpuspy logs it as going below that just to see
It will happen on every rom right now since they are all based on the firmware. I really think it saves battery going into that clock mode and if someone comes up with a fix the cpu will have to run at a higher clock rate and battery loss will be significantly higher

Tell us what you did to stop the wake lock. Is it plugged in though?

I am using Lite'ning rom 1.4 right now, when I press the home button til the screen on take around 0.5 second, is it normally?
I've tried this app,and it did seem work. I'll try to see how about the drain of power.
I was using No Lock and it didn't make any difference. What is really annoying me about this is that some users are seeing the lag and others apparently aren't. The lag on my phone is probably about 1 second. This isn't a really big deal unless this sort of thing annoys you. My iPhone didn't have the lag, my Desire didn't have the lag and I feel a high end phone like this shouldn't have the lag either.

There seems to be nearly as many combinations of symptoms as there are phones. Mine has the same 1s or so lag regardless of how I wake it up. I tried SoftLocker again. Not only does it chew the battery, it was randomly causing my phone not to wake up at all, which then required a reboot. Softlocker has since been uninstalled.
The lag definitely doesn't show itself if the phone is plugged in or if music is playing in the background. Also if the phone has only been asleep for 5 or 10 seconds the lag is generally not there.... but not always. This seems to be inconsistent.
Then there are the fortunate users who aren't seeing the lag at all..... unless of course they are failing to mention that they have something running in the background like the music player that is stopping the phone going into deep sleep.
All I know for sure is that it's a PITA that Samsung needs to address. Given that I've read it was an issue with the S, I'm not holding my breath on that one though.

Don't want to fork/derail the thread, but are you guys experiencing only the "Wake Up Lag" or also the lag when pressing the Home button while unlocked. I see some lag when using the home button to go back to Homescreen 1 for example. In case you folks are seeing lag in both the cases like me, could it be that both have the same underlying cause.
There is this other theory about the bundled Voice Talk app from Vlingo having the shortcut of Home button double tap, which causes any Home button tap to wait until the double tap window before doing its thing. I don't see that mentioned in this thread, but it kind of makes sense for the Home button lag, but perhaps not so much for the Wake lag (at least I could not think of a reason for that to happen). What do you guys think about both these problems?

Well well finally users are reporting this problem, good to see its not only me.
Anyway, I don't think the Phone goes to any underclocked frequency when it goes to sleep. Cause if you can test SetCPU by setting it to 200 MHz then you will notice that in 200 MHz the phone turns itself off, you have to turn it on manually. So the problem is related with firmware definitely. And there are no fortunate users, some users don't take this as a problem, some don't notice it and some notice but doesn't agree, but here or there everyone has the bug. I hope the issue will be fixed in future firmware upgrade.
Regards.

It may seem crazy but...
The delay depends heavily on the lock image you choose for lock screen.
With stock image it's instant, with custom background it slows down significantly.
My theory is that custom image is being resized while low Cpu frequency, it takes a while.

I've just tested that, it's the same no matter what background I use.
Wow..
Seems like the thread I can finally count on! Lots of behavior that I experience as well. I have the home button lag and the wake up lag and it's bugging me.
One thing to note.. The wake up lag is worse when you have an SD card inserted -> This scenario was the same for the SGS1 too. Anyone can confirm this?
I'm using No Lock as personal preference but the lag is always there. All behavior you guys mention (abt headphones plugged in, charging, within 5-10secs) are all being observed.
Eagerly waiting for a fix!
I had lag on my first SGS2, but it was worse that yours, at about 9-10 seconds (that's no exaggeration) plus high battery drain (Only getting about 6-7 hours battery at normal use). Went and got a new S2, no lag, and battery lasts 36 hours now.
It may not be the case with yours that its faulty, but I think I fixed the first SGS2 by flashing a newer rom, then doing hard reset and clearing cache's. I now have 2 shiny new SGS2's working as normal.

I did flash a newer ROM, but didn't do a hard reset.. all my apps were intact. Perhaps I will spend sometime on it this weekend. By the way, which ROM did you flash on your first SGS2 that fixed the problem?
Also, I tried SoftLocker and it works!! The only downside is the battery life. I loose about 4-5% per hour while I was asleep. That bring me to say that the delay is not caused by the voice input function, but rather due to the device going into deep sleep (which may be normal). But it's the waking up that's taking long.
Still seeking for more ideas...

Yes, I found that SoftLocker is not really a solution because of the battery drain and some other bugs it introduced.
Anyone who is experiencing this lag should be contacting Samsung. I contacted Samsung Australia and they told me they had not heard of the problem. If everyone who is experiencing the problem reported it to Samsung, I think there may be a far better chance of a fix. Anyone who is annoyed by this bug, please email Samsung via the link on their website. If they are flooded with complaints they "may" act and provide a fix.

Horizontal Banding Issue/Corallation (THEORY ONLY)

Team, I think I have found the coralation between the banding issue experianced by some users post ICS update... unfortunatley I do not see a solution until we have root and Kernal access avalible. My observations as follows:
1. Post update restart banding issue begins in an itermitent fashion, seemingly random.
2. Confirmed fact that overclock has been applied to update raising processor frequency to 1.6GHz
3. On initial cold boot after charging issue seems to to have subsided, only to return after aprox 15 min of constant device use.
So, my theory as follows:
After many years of overclocking my PC's there seems to be a corallation between this and what i seem to be experiancing on my prime. So OC'd processor starts from cold... and the system runs fine, until it starts heating up.... at this point the artifacts start coming onto the screen, with increasing frequency the "warmer" the device becomes. Seems a very plausible reasoning to our problem and exactly what is typically experianced when OC'ing a computer. It also explains why when left over night, either idle or off and charging, I had no problems from startup as the system was cold. So I guess at this point it would be good to open up the thread and discuss this, though I am not sure to what avail.... it seems there could really be no fix until we can turn the clock speed down to see if this effects the Prime.
Also this thread is meant to be a positive exchange of information, please do not come on here to flame or use this as a catalyst for screaming why the Prime sucks, or glad you did not buy it. I have no time to deal with trolls, and know you are not welcome here
i had a similar notion, however:
-i think we have confirmed 1.5 and 1.6 ghz are locked out
-if it was a gpu/cpu heat issue, this would appear immediately when gaming/benchmarking starts.
My initial thought was GPU artifacting, but this doesn't appear like GPU artifacting i have encountered from overclocking or excessive heat. More like a driver issue.

Well, I do agree with you but I think it also has to do with how fast the unit is able to dissappate heat.. I am on the ferry to work now and had not touched my Prime for at least 45 min... upon picking it up after it had "cooled" down so to speak it was fine... then a few minutes ago began with banding agin, unfortunatly I have no games installed after the update so I can not verify this, but I there may still be an explanation. When overclocking certain chips are sweet while others not so much... I had 2 identical Q6600's in almost identical machines and while one could reach a 4 GHz clock the other only 3.2... so a differance in the manufacture of the chip could explain why some users do not have problems and others do.
Can I take it from your post that you only experiance this issue while in ICS and not in game?

i definitely know what you mean about binning.
True, i have not seen this occur in a game yet, but i just fired up glowball for a few seconds to confirm it was working.
Did many runs of quadrant after updating last night though.
I'll try some movie clips and more gaming today.
I was having the same problem as well. Not sure if this the fix bit it seemed to go away. Go to settings -- Developers Options, and check off. "Force GPU Rendering". After doing this my screen banding seemed to go away.

Now see this is intresting, I am not familar with Bench software on Android but does Quadrant stress CPU or GPU or both? We can cofirm the additional boost to the CPU as seen in other posts but I take it we do not have method of ascertaining clock frequency on the GPU... do we? I am at work now so I will run some sly tests in the backgrouds on the unit and see if I can get the issue to replicate in a game as soon as its installed and will report back. Thanks for the input, was hoping for more but will take one positive poster over 1000 trolls

Intresting... this was already set to off on my install in the developer settings but provides an intresting insight that the GPU may have been OC'd too to accomodate ICS' increased graphical demand (not really much though compared to hard gaming) ...but possibilities arise!
Bump for Dev input... Anyone?
Ok, so even if no more input on the subject... is there a way to downgrade back to .33?
can someone that had this issue post a video or screenshots of this occurring. Several minutes ago, for the first time, I noticed the bottom left hand corner, where the back n home tabs are at, looked like it was glitching or something. just only at the bottom left hand corner in the black area. looked like glitching lines or something. The rest of screen wasn't affected but opening up the notification area seemed like the screen was shaking ever so slightly. this went on for a min. or so. Since it didn't go away on its own, my immediate response was reboot. I rebooted(by the way my start up times are very fast, very impressed with it now..lol) and the issue went away. I hope it never comes back also..lol. I had Prime in balanced mode and just surfing the web posting here in the forums.
This was the first time this ever happened andbit was only very briefly. Rebooting seemed to fix the problem. I just want to see a video or screenshot of this so called screen banding to see if this was what I experienced or something else minor. Prime hasn't shown none of this since the speedy reboot.
thanks

But my latest theory is graphics activity in the notification area as wifi activity or charging (wifi off) causes the bars to flash on and off. Also doesn't happen if you sit in the gallery app as it hides the notification area...
I'm having the same issue, just sitting on the lock screen.
I agree that it is acting like a bad overclock. The thing is the "fix" will be to slow it back down. Mine is rebooting all the time and yes it happens faster and faster after being powered off. It also lasted longer when plugged in (slightly more voltage from recharging?) However if only some are doing this than we won the "bad bin" lottery.
what I would like to know is, when sent in via RMA to "fix", is ASUS just software limiting the CPU/GPU or changing a part of the hardware?
If they just slow it down in software, then I'm better off returning it and getting a new one... if they are swapping a part then I'm better off RMA'ing.
1) Check CPUSpy or similar for time in each clock state.
2) Check Temperature (maybe battery is all we have, but mine is reading only a couple of degrees above ambient - no problems seen so far)
/sys/devices/platform/tegra_tsensor/tsensor_temperature
Oddly, ever since the first night I haven't had the banding issue, it seems ot have gone away, and yet to come back, which is quite surprising, but good news for me nether-less.
No, the update did not overclock the prime... Already a few threads about this explaining why the prime is still only at 1.4gz max. So it has nothing to do with overclocking because overclocking is not happening.
Regardless of what any app is telling you, the TFP IS NOT overclocked. Find the thread about it and it will explain everything in great detail.
"Mine looks like the attached..." One of the times mine crashed, the screen froze and there were white lines just like the black lines you show. I do feel the "banding" and the "rebooting" are the same issue. And I would bet CPU/GPU clock speed boost if there was one to be the issue. And yes it does seem to be booting much faster, might be ICS but could also be a clock speed boost. What is the best ap to show CPU clock speeds in real time on the tegra3?

I noticed this when trying to use the stock video player, it was all glitchy lined. Apon closing the app it went away. I have notcied that ICS requires a reboot once every other day to stay smooth otherwise it seems to start glitching out when trying to do heavy tasks like play games. But once rebooted all is well again.
Maybe the TFP doesnt have enough ram for ICS. Or maybe its just a bug that needs to be worked out in the next update.
*again the TFP has not been overclocked... demandarin can point you in the right direction of his thread explaining it further.

Yes its true. we are not overclocked. I thought we were at first when ICS first dropped. Although different apps and benchmarks show a higher clocked top speed its not really that high. of you use CPU spy, it will show you that those higher clocks are dormant or deactivated. its there but we can't use it. We had several people look further into the issue and found although its possible by devs, stock ICS has the higher clocks in a suspended state. sorry for the confusion from my thread. I was only half correct. we do have higher clocked speed bit not actually using it. if it makes any sense.

[Q] MoPho overheating and turning off on CM9

I am having an issue with my MoPho severely overheating and shutting off. But strangely it only seems to happen when I am outside. The first time I noticed it was when I went fishing. My phone had about 80% charge, and when I picked it up maybe 30 mins later is was scorching hot. To the point that it burnt me. And it had shut off. I didn't have it in the sun or anything. It was in the shade inside a bag. I was not able to get it to turn on even with a battery pull even after it had cooled down. The battery completely drained in a matter of minutes. I couldn't even get it to charge in the truck on the car charger, either. It got too hot on the charger to the point it wouldn't even get a charge. This has happened about 3 or 4 times since. It will go from a full battery, get super hot, and completely drain within minutes. This never used to happen in the house, it was only an issue outside. until today. Went fishing, phone had full charge. It managed to hold the battery for a couple hours, unlike the other times, but eventually got hot and died. Then when I got home, plugged it into the charger and went to sleep, woke up a couple hours later and it was burning hot, and had no charge. Other things on it are acting weird now, as well. The screen keeps turning on and off every few seconds by itself. I don't know what the issue is, but I might have to switch back to stock if I can't find a solution. Because eventually this is going to fry my phone. And I don't want that to happen. It is also a huge inconvenience for your phone battery to drain in a matter of minutes and become a useless paperweight when you are in the middle of nowhere and need a form of communication in an emergency.
Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

Many people have experienced overheating problems on our cm9. Some people including self have fixed it by just doing a fresh install of cm9 as it seems like just a fluke. Im sure the fact that were running a gingerbread kernel on ics doesnt help. Also, try dropping the battery down to 1200 from the stock 1300, see if that helps.

Someone mentioned changing the overclock from the stock 1300 down to 1000 in another thread. Is that the same thing as what you're talking about? Or is there a separate setting for the battery? I did try dropping it down to 1000 but that's when the screen started turning on and off by itself. And LWP's stopped working properly. They would get stuck and seizure. Even after I changed it back to the default 1300. So I went into CWM and just reflashed the ROM. No more screen turning on and off or LWP's acting weird. But as far as the overheating problem I can't be sure I guess until I go fishing again or put it in another situation in which it's done it previously.

Even after I changed it back to the default 1300. So I went into CWM and just reflashed the ROM. No more screen turning on and off or LWP's acting weird. But as far as the overheating problem I can't be sure I guess until I go fishing again or put it in another situation in which it's done it previously.

I work outside every day and its bout 100 degrees out consistantly now... I'm not running cm9 anymore but I've noticed I still get the occasional overheat while its in my pocket, it most definitely gets annoying sometimes having to pull the battery and let everything cool down but I think the benefits outweigh the annoyance level a million to one. I guess what I'm saying is you're not alone friend, it definitely happens to me as well. I have my CPU set to 1k though and messed around with undervolting as well and feel like I get a little better results this way. Keep playing with your settings until you find the one that works best for you is the advice I can give. Good luck!

Yeah its the same thing. Remember, our processor is technicallynot supposed to be over 1000 per core for a reason. People just like to push things to the edge. The whole lwp problem is expected and everyone experiences this with the our ice roms. That also is due to lack of proper 2d libs. But I'm glad most of your problems have subsided. Run your processor at 1000 and I'm sure the overheating will lessen. On a powerful dualcore phone like the photon 1300 from 1000 is miniscule anyway.

Alright. I will try it again. But I just love my LWP's =[ I always have a lwp on. I have never experienced the problem with the lwps until I set the processor to 1000. But I guess it comes down to sacrificing my wallpaper to stop it from overheating. If that's what it takes to fix the problem. Hopefully once the stable version is released everything will work like it should without having to sacrifice anything.
It did overheat again the other day. I did have Watchdog on my phone and I was on facebook messenger the other morning and it started acting up, I had my phone in my hand and within a couple minutes it got burning hot, and then right after, Watchdog popped up with a notification that messenger was above threshhold. It was running at 49% CPU or something. And come to think of it I would always get notifications about fb messenger "misbehaving". So I came to the conclusion that it could be either messenger or watchdog causing most of my problems. I deleted watchdog to see if it fixes my problems. I'm hoping it isn't messenger. Because I need my FB. lol. But I haven't really used messenger on my phone since I deleted watchdog. So we'll see. If that didn't solve it, then I will sacfrifice my lwp and set the processor back to 1000.

Fb messenger gets a lot of hate, i cant say thats your problem but you never know. Try out a chat client called imo from the play store instead. It supports fb as well as others and is leaps and bounds better than fb messenger.

Thank you. I will definitely try that =] Thank you. I really hope it fixes the problem. I can't wait for the stable release. haha

Random power off issue.

Okay, I am having issues with my Note 3. I can run my phone as hard as i want and no problem until i get to about 50-60%. Then, my phone screen will just go black like the battery just died. Now if i plug it in for 1 second and hit the power button it starts booting up and i can immediately unplug it and it returns to 50-60% battery and continues to run fine. But it will not power up without plugging it in for a second. I even have a friend that is having the same issue with his att&t note 3 that has never been rooted ever. Just weird. I am currently running Vision-x vpucnc5 rom with calm kernal. I have tried multiple other roms and the problem still persist. I have even purchased another battery thinking that was the problem. I will include a screen shot of my battery info screen and all you see is a black line when it happened. Please help! Thanks in advance. .
When you run the device hard, is the phone getting hot? Do you have a big case on it? It sounds like the overheating sensor is kicking off the device. On my note 3, when running WiFi Tether Router app and it is downloading a big file say a movie. On 4g LTE at a download speed of 2MB+ the phone has gotten to hot and shut down. My solution is to take it out of the case when downloading.
Maybe plugging the charger into the device resets the overheating sensor?
Here is what I would do, here is a link to the Galaxy tool app http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 download and install. Now you test all the sensors, and check the logcats to see what happened at the black line. Your phone has record of it in the logcats, either in the IOTHIDDENMENU, or SYS_DUMP !!!

Not really sure how to test the temp sensor. It seems from that app that my phone was at about 29 deg Celsius.

There is a free app in the Google play store called the "Cpu Temperature" it gives you CPU temp and Battery temp in C/F. You might install it and run the device hard up to 50-60% and see what your temp is.
Don't forget to scroll through those logcats to see what happened at the black line.
Also I noticed your Screen is using some Battery, what is the preset on display time? Mine is 2 minutes then shuts off, I know if you run the display constantly they get hot.

Mine is set to 1 minute. The cpu temperature seems to stay around 100°F most of the time. However, after a random shutdown I noticed the temp was 140°F while booting it up right after the shutdown. Also. I uprooted and went back to stock NC5 yesterday. Still had the same problem today.

My CPU temp is about 115F with WiFi Tether Router running pretty much all day. My Battery temp is 86F. My device feels cool to the touch, except just under the camera flash where the CPU is. What is your Battery temp at 50-60% ? Maybe you have a short in your Battery that creates excessive temp at the half way discharge point? Do you have access to another Battery to swap out and see if that has any effect?

First of all thanks so much for all your help.
My device feels cool to the touch all the time. Running candy crush seems to make it run at about 120f. Still feels cool to the touch. It happened with the battery that came with the phone so I bought another one thinking that was the problem. Do I buy a third?

No, I think two is enough. Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fls4NIRJ1IQ maybe this is the fix.

NO, anything with Kim Kardashian in it is not normal. Lol As for the device that temp seems a little high, right now I am running 114F CPU and the Battery is 84F. The deivce is running WiFi Tether Router, plus a half dozen other apps, and charging. Let me hunt up the specs on the average operating temp on your CPU.
Hey if you get a chance try this. Go to settings/device/call and uncheck " Turn off screen during calls" the screen will stay on during calls. But if it doesn't go black then its the proximity sensor. It may be defective or may not deactivating because of a case.

Overheating issues

Anyone else having issues using pop-up view/multi window? My phone force closes the pop-up window and says the phone is too hot, but it doesn't really feel very hot. I never had this issue with my S20 unless I was at the beach.
It happened to me when I first used the phone (phone was downloading stuff)... hadn't happened since. But I was surprised that it happened.
looks like I'm not the only one
Overheating Problems on S21
I just got my Galaxy S21 yesterday and it is amazing, fast, and looks beautiful but there is one major problem I've been having with it. If I try to do any sort of multitasking, the phone heats up to uncomfortable levels and displays a warning that it is too hot and for me to try split screen or...

Unless he is in a sauna, it shouldn't matter. Phone isn't even charging and brightness doesn't seem to be that high. My S20 would ONLY reach these temperatures (Battery over 41C) at the beach, in direct sunlight, 90*F+ outside. Never sitting at home. I think the only reason this isn't a HUGE topic right now is because most people don't use multi-window functionality often. Its not that the phone feels incredibly hot. If you don't use pop-up windows, you may never notice it.
edit: Try using an app that overlays the battery temp. I'm using CpuFloat and only have it display CPU temp, GPU load and battery temp.
I'm facing the same issue on my S20 Exynos
Something is running in the background or it's a buggy apk sucking up cpu cycles.
Find it as it's chewing up your battery for nothing...
If you done any major firmware updates and haven't done a factory reset, do so now.
Some have reported Smart Switch transfers to cause system misconfigurations.
Try clearing the system cache.
Try clearing system logs, clearing Goggle Play Services/Backup Transport and Framework data.
Try updating all system apks or going back to factory load versions.
Try turning off all power management as it can create conflicts.
If you know which app is causing it, troubleshoot it and it's related dependencies. Avoid using it if that gets it done... a hot running Android is an unhappy Android.
Play with it until you find the root cause(s).
I've done all of that. I never use 'smart switch'. The phone just runs hot, compared to the tolerance for pop-up view/multi window. Sadly I've just accepted that it is a function that isn't completely useable anymore.

Keep looking.
Took close to a year to sort out my stock 10+ but I did. It runs very well now.
Current load is about 10 months old.
No way I'm "upgrading" from Pie for this device

its just the phone, nothing I can do about it. Didn't have the issue doing the same exact stuff on the S20. I tested it quite extensively for 2 weeks. 40*C isn't even really that hot, but its 'too hot' for multi window.
