Left Side Screen Tear Common? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I'm not sure if this is common or if others have seen this on their prime. I wanted to put it out there to find out how common it is, and if they are resolutions for it, besides sending it in to ASUS which I can't do.

Yes, I get it occasionally. About once per month. It doesn't really bother me, and it goes away quickly.

I don't get it on mine (running stock 0.28).
Prior to 0.21 I had a similar problem where some tearing would occur on the left side of the screen when the recent apps list was open and closed, but that issue appeared to get fixed in the 0.21 update.

I've only seen it one time...
After rooting I loaded ATP Tweak and then followed the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735887
And that's when the screen issue started happening. Change settings back to where I started and uninstalled ATP Tweak and it went away - and didn't come back.
Sometimes I have to wonder if all the "tweaks" aren't causing people a lot more problems than they solve?

Yes it used to happen with some youtube videos on stock .21 ... it's gone now
I guess it is video driver problem or sth like that ...

It happens for me when using cool reader
I've seen it once or twice with youtube, but it happens a fair amount with cool reader. Maybe it's just more noticeable, since it's a static screen. I don't see it on any games or other text based apps.
It's not bad enough to worry about, and it's always just a really quick flash. It is a bit annoying. It's the only thing I've found annoying about the prime so far - well, and the lack of a ssh client that I like....

I had those tearing issues. I mentioned it on xda already. I tried to understand when it was happening. From what I found it does not happen if I am not using the dock. It only happens when the dock battery is empty/almost empty.
Is it the same for everyone experiencing that issue ?

From what I found in my searches and first hand experience, it seems to happen with a live wallpaper that cares about the battery level (such as the ice cube and water ones from ASUS). I don't recall having the problem without a live wallpaper so far. Started happening only with the .28 update.

Does it happen to anyone without the dock ?

This is a common problem... sort of....
Seems to be much more apparent or widespread with .28 update...
Yes, and it happens sporadically with or without dock...
Also, your status bar & etc might tilt up and down as well...
Btw, this seems to be a problem with Tegra 3 devices in general (yes, even HTC One X... and even the new Nexus 7...)

Only when docked for me. it hasn't happened in a while though since the last update

This happens to me both docked and in regular tablet mode. Rebooting seems to clear it up for a while. I'm hoping this is solved in the next release as mine never did this on any of the older ones

Happens to me as well! I had it on every version... I'm glad that everybody else seems to have that problem!

good to know, thanks guys. I thought maybe it was my multi picture live wallpaper maybe causing it, but that seems ridiculous. Started happening outta nowhere so I was confused as to why!

Everyone has this happen once in a while, strange thing is when people say it went away after firmware update... not sure if they just have not seen it since? It is still there and you just have not seen it again yet.
Anyone who says that they have a prime that it never happened to- does not use their prime enough to catch the issue red-handed.
A reboot usually fixes it, has nothing to do with the dock. REALLY wish someone would fix it!! It looks pretty bad when your iPad lovin buddy picks it up and it is showing graphics glitches and crashing every game you start!!
I hate apple.... just want to smash his stupid iPad on his stupid iFace!!

Happened often when in was watching hd movies using play movies, I had it docked and it was full. Was really annoying. Rarely happened before the update, I also rooted though I haven't done much but add the tweaked build.prop. I'll test it undocked to see if that is an issue.
Edit: undocked not unlocked

I have got it atleast one a day regardless to using any Tweak or stock. It happened from .21 then so more frequently on .28. Especially when playing game any movie. Once it happens I need to restart the Prime to fix it. I think it may be related to ICS, some time it happen on my phone.

Exactly the same as me but I get it like twice a day, I'm a heavy user of my tablet.

The Tour de France app: Tour Tracker (by sbs) causes this tear quite consistently.
Figured I'd post this so the beta testers and Asus can troubleshoot with it.

I have a stock. Prime since Feb and saw this for the first time today. Rebooted and it went away. For now.

[Q] after upgrading operating system my rezound is heating up

I have been reading in the forms that this is an issue. I too am experiencing the heat issue, yet I don't see any fix. I read that the screen and/or the radios are the issue.

Mine gets a little hot at times too. I just pulled mine out of my pocket to show a friend and my screen was on and it was pretty warm, more than usual.
yeaa it gets really hot. i can't even play any hd games. the phone might over heat and crash
I had 14 hours of use today and over 4 hours screen on time. I think the higjest one got was 95 deg
I have the extended battery if that matters
Yeah, she gets a little warm. Anecdotal evidence says that the phones that get way hot (130-150 during games, 120 ish during regular use) have a hardware problem... I have read from a lot of people who have been that hot and say the trade-in was better.
Also, the extended seems to dissipate the heat better.
As for me, I didn't have much of an issue until after the first OTA. Now I top out around 125 when playing heavy games or surfing hard on 4G. Not happy about that, but I don't think it's hardware in my case. I need to get an extended anyway....
Its because of a CPU issue where the CPU runs at the highest clock speed instead of scaling like it should while the screen is on. I have this problem as well and my battery is absolute **** now :|

But I did have almost 5 hours screen on time :-\ didn't feel that hot. Really like having ics but that's getting pretty warm
i am using "easy battery" to help me keep my battery life and kinda keep it cooler. i recommend to return to stock os and wait until the official upgrades are given out.
When I first got this phone it actually ran hot, so hot that I can actually feel the heat on my leg when I put it in my pocket.
When I upgraded to the current leaked RUU, the heat problems went away.
I have zero heat issues on my Rezound, I still haven't gotten the new leak yet, waiting for a ROM that makes me really want to do it.

Everyone will install the ota the same way the leak was installed. The ota will include new radios and a new boot loader version. They always have. Easy.

i thought u would not be able to get your phone back to stock after flashing the leak . and the official update requires ur phone to be stock. something like that

maybe the official update will fix the problem
You could run the RUU again and you would be back to bone stock, albeit a leaked "official" stock, but still stock. You would have the stock recovery and be locked again.

I don't think it's the CPU. Same cpu problems in the last couple of leaks and phone is running a little warmer on current leak. I think the radios are cranked up, pulling more power. My phone only gets hot when on 4G.

Taking it back....

Bought my galaxy s3 last monday with the anticipation of lte. I live in Decatur right outside of Atlanta, and I work in Buckhead, northern Atlanta. My galaxy wont connect to lte unless i reboot it, therefore im taking it back to best buy and hoping to find one still running 4.0.3. ive had nothing but issues since updating to 4.0.4. I know i could root the device, but when i purchase a new phone, i prefer it to work as expected, without having to hack it. I expected lte issues as ATT and Verizon both had theirs, but everytime i call Sprint they give me the run around and wont fess up to having lte issues. Hoping the 4.0.3 software didnt have the connection issues that 4.0.4 does along with the terrible battery drain.
If you guys have some ideas of what else to do to suffice for the time being i would greatly appreciate it. I did find a few posts about the lte issue with sprint, and im glad im not alone, but how is everyone coping with the battery drain and the connection issue without having to root?
All s3s come with 4.0.4 standard.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah the sgs3 was launched with 4.04 there was no 4.03. Unless you're taking about a small OTA update ? Best thing you can try is a factory wipe as that solves things usually. Give it a shot although you'll have to reinstall all your apps. But since you may be returning it you'll have to do that anyway.
I say factory wipe it and before installing everything see if connection issues resolve.

I dont think the update caused the connection issue but I do know that it made my battery life even worse. I swapped it out for a new device today and come to find out I was wrong it does come with 4.0 .4. I apologize for my lack of knowledge I know everybody on this forum is smarter about android and I am just looking for some answers to help solve the issues at hand. hoping that this device will connect to lte without the issues that the last one had.

So take it back like you title states and just get the iPhone then, I'm sure you'll be happy. First you state the update is causing connectivity problems now its battery? My S3's connectivity is perfect as where my S2 sucked, don't know what to tell you, maybe you are in an area where LTE signal is hit or miss, seems to be an issue not only with ATT, but also Verizon.

Why would the OP even get an iPhone, that doesn't even get LTE! I'm on Sprint too, and I don't have the connection issues that you seem to be having. I've heard that the LG2 radio update was causing some problems for people though.

Nah, I know a lot of people don't even know what LTE is.
I used to have an iPhone. I prefer Google phones. Had a g1, evo, photon, one the galaxy. Swapped out for a new galaxy and it connects to lte but now I have a new problem. Battery life is worse than before and the bottom of the phone stays hot. Updated software, updated prl and profile. Any ideas? I doubt mean warm, this thing flat out gets hot. And one it takes forever to charge. Bern on the charger since 10:30 this morning and now I'm at 81% and it's 3:40 pm???!!!

Perhaps it's the phone itself...
I'm on my second phone so far and this one perform much better then the first one. Granted I didn't mess with this one at all, other then did root and restored most apps from TiBackup, but the battery is at least twice better, no heat issues.
I'd would swap it to a new one first to see if it's any better.
Yeah I'm definitely going to have to take this one back. Took it off the charger with 75% and it crashed down to 0% in less than 2 hours with no accounts syncing except google, and this was after a fresh wipe. Also getting overheating warnings on the screen after it charges for a while and the phone gets super hot. Even the screen on the front side gets hot now. All this came after I updated it this morning. Next Galaxy I swap it out for tomorrow, I'm thinking about holding off on the updates until I can find a good changelog, and known issues that come with them. This is my first samsung, and I hate that its off to such a rocky start. I know I could root and possbily fix these issues myself, but this is the whole reason I bought insurance. That and stock ics offers me everything I currently ask of android.

Any bugs you want HTC to know about?

hey guys, so some of you look familiar from the Rezound forums, good to see ya! I finally got a DNA and gave my rezound to my older brother for xmas, and much like last year, i've noticed a couple of bugs. the good thing is, though, that i was in touch with HTC tech support last year, where i actually spoke to them over the phone a few times over some bugs we had with the rezound. after noticing a few, i decided to open my old claim and talk with the same rep who i dealt with last year, as he was very knowledgeable and a great guy overall!
so a few bugs i've noticed so far:
1.) the audio/video delay lag, where in every video player, including youtube, audio lags behind video (thanks milan, i forgot which one it was lol)
2.) the home button lag much like the s3 with s-voice enabled
3.) not much of a bug, but for some stupid reason HTC enabled "auto enhance" on the camera by default! you can't turn it off. this was something big wtih the rezound that the number one thing we urged users who asked how to get good pics was to turn auto enhance off. it really softens the image and makes it look bad in low light, IMO. also, they made auto focus on by default and you can't switch it. i reported this, and he confirmed that it's just part of the software, but they do value our feedback, and i know for a fact this guy does, as the bug with audio recording on the rezound WAS fixed when 4.0 was OTA'd to it.
so i brought both of these up with them, and they're looking into it, which is great. anyone have any bugs they notice? i keep forgetting the little ones when it's time to write a reply to HTC, so it would be good to get them in here.
HTC def. does listen to us, guys.
either way, i LOVE this phone. so snappy, and has an amazing screen and form factor to it! the camera is great, but you just have to play around with the options to get a great pic. the audio sounds great with the beats as well. i've yet to get a wireless charger, but i think i'm going to start looking around for it.
great to be a part of the new community, guys!

Really to be honest at close to 5 hrs screen on time I will get 12 hours total. Is your phone 100% stock or do you have any maybe non kosher pirated apps going on that might not show up in that app. Kernel is still software related and I'm not understanding why yours is so out if wack with everybody else.

Anyone else getting sluggish performance after the update? I never had any performance issues on 4.1 but some apps are really slow and jerky now, even some of the regular system animations are slower.
Also, is it just me or did the developer options disappear from settings.

Actually I think it's better after that 2nd reset. It may have just needed some time to "settle"

Yeah, I had to Factory Reset twice to get rid of the lag, and it didn't completely resolve it. It's like even some of the core apps aren't optimized. Weird. The stuttering animations really make me pissed

Seriously? That's weird.
I don't want to factory reset, especially if it doesn't even solve the problem. This is lame.
I disabled the lookout app. That got rid of my wake lock . Battery life is still bad though.

No problem here. I did notice that my phone was running hot after the update. I ended up powering it off for a few minutes. When I powered it back up, it ran at normal temperature. Or maybe it just cooled down.
well, I sure am glad I have a jump from t-mobile. I'm going to offload this piece of crap for Nexus 5.

I have no battery issues here. I cleared all cache using an app right after the update.

Does anyone else experience intermittent stuttering / lag?

I have a question. When generally using the device, it randomly becomes very slow and the framerate of the interface (e.g. in the (stock or pixel) launcher or Chrome) drops to 5-10 FPS and after a few seconds all is normal again.
I have already tried to factory reset the devices to see if it fixed the app crashes.
Is this something that is normal on this device, or is there are certain setting that causes this? Is it maybe my specific device?
I do experience the same behavior, at random moments fps on ui drop for less than a second and then it's smooth again. It doesn't affect functionality or raw benchmark performance but it is very annoying. I do not know yet what is causing it.

Maybe time to unlock bootloader, root, flash Stericsons Busybox Binaries and tweak the kernel with Kernel Adiutor?

Wouldn't that ruin the camera forever?
My guess is that this is happening due to the fact that this is the first non Google device to have Android O so the optimization is mediocre. At least it's not like the s8 lel
I must say that switching from the built in (Swiftkey) keyboard to Gboard made some difference. It stutters less now.
And yes, I'm probably spoiled coming from a Google device. Android 8.1 will probably make some difference too, as it is a lot smoother than 8.0.

Weird, swiftkey never stuttered on mine

Swiftkey itself doesn't stutter, but it somehow makes other things (occasionally) stutter.
You probably wouldn't notice it if you don't hyper actively mash on your device.

Very intresting, I also noticed the same thing about chrome, when I disabled it and started using brave the stuttering was way less. Perhaps using brave and Gboard would be a solution?

Yes, this can be another reason aswell.
It's probably not related to the spectre and meltdown patches, as other devices on the same patch level do not experience this problem.
The spectre and metldown patches take
It also doesn't happen in a specific app, and I know Chrome has some stuttering with some sites, but I am not talking about that.
Random apps seemed to freeze or lag for a few seconds and then everything goes back to normal.
I am thinking that it could be an issue with my specific device because Antutu benchmark also crashes for example and others seem to be able to run this benchmark.

my device has micro stutter here and there (as said , doesnt affect functionality) but not being able to run antutu bench seems to be a specific device problem. In addition i can confirm that raw performance was not affected by spectre patch since my device scored a pretty high score on antutu, on par with other sd835 flagships.

There is a DRM fix out for XZ1 for a reason :fingers-crossed:

No reason to do that, using Xperia keyboard and gboard fixed the stuttering
I get the exact same thing it is crazy annoying. This runs most things perfectly, but will suddenly and for no reason just stop for about 5 seconds be completely unresponsive and then start running normally again. Was a fix or cause ever found?

Hey, after months I can confirm the cause for every stutter/lag/freeze on the device was caused due to swiftkey keyboard. I disabled it and started using Xperia keyboard and it's perfectly smooth.

Weird, never get any lag/freeze, and only use stock swiftkey. BTW how doy you get that score in AnTuTu? What firmware, are you rooted and/or use any tweak?

The bench was done a while ago so I don't remember exact firmware number, but it was android 8.0 stock not rooted and locked bootloader. Also for best possible antutu score be sure your device is cool before doing the test (28-30c), keep in mind that score also varies around 5-10k each time, lowest I got was 200k and highest was 210k in antutu v7.
