Asus Browser bugs carried over from JB - Asus Transformer TF701

Well it seems Asus are still lazy. The Stock Browser bugs still exist on JB4.3
These have been around now for at least 18 months.
You can reproduce by replying to or editing a post on a forum like XDA and then holding down the backspace key on the keyboard dock and the browser will close with a error message that it has stopped. SImilarly if you use the arrow keys to move around eventually tapping up or down will also cause the browser to close.
Come on Asus - how any times do I need to report this to you! Grrr.....
First negative expereince so far! :silly:

What about the other bugs from tf300? I'm interested inthe dock battery draining issue, does this also happen in the TF701?

I've not seen that but no. Battery life is much better than my TF700.

I do not think the stock browser for JB is ever going to be updated, now that Google is starting to implement most of the functions from Chrome into the stock browser. Or something similar, to what I've heard.
Quick question: How do you tell it's exactly the stock browser that's erring out?
Workaround: Try using Chrome Beta for Android, and if the error still occurs, bug the hell at Google, and not Asus. I don't think software is one of Asus' main support aspects.

it's pretty sad that there's only 45 votes on this issue. Here's a hint: bugs won't get fixed if people don't speak up about them. And don't think your voice exactly resonates here on XDA.
Just star it, and leave a comment. Doesn't have to be anything long winded either.

Maybe most of us just don't consider it a problem that needs fixing? I get bounce back on a number of different screens but I just swipe again, the world is not going to end because of it.

While agree it's not the end of the world, it's a complaint I see often here in kernel and ROM threads. While a lot of it is due to wonky behavior due to OC (either CPU or GPU), it's really just exacerbating an issue that is already present.
Besides, UI bugs are some of the most prevalent and immediately noticeable to more "common" end users. While functionally it's not debilitating, it's an aesthetic scar that doesn't need to be there.

Hmmm.. So I assume it doesn't matter that I need exactly 15 seconds everytime I get a notification to pull down the status bar, caused by flipbacks. Okay I'm like 1000% sure Google noticed it anyway, cause its on most devices, also 100% stock ones (like me) so...

The scrolling drives me crazy indeed. We shouldn't have to "make sure we're doing an exact certain way" just in order for it not to bounce back. It should just work, correctly, like our sgs3/gnex/etc...

If it would bounce back after a reboot one time, I wouldn't care, but its always there, it doesn't matter what I do, it bounces every time... So its a bit annoying.. This is the only thing which sometimes makes me want to throw the 7 at a wall...

Thanks OP, have added my star.
I had not noticed this problem but I was intrigued.
I could not duplicate the problem, but I am using Apex launcher, not the stock launcher. Does the problem occur in all launchers? Also I am not using the stock ROM.
I wonder if this problem happens with only some units, or perhaps it relates to those user's expectations. Maybe they expect their device to react more quickly than it is able to.
Far be it for me to be dismissive of people's satisfaction with their devices, but that bug-report thread has a lot of problems. It contains over-reaching claims and supposed knowledge of the problem's causes and solutions.
Again, I don't write off these people's unhappiness but I personally would not star that issue.
i too have this problem when on stock rom..now on PA beta 9 with m-kernel, the problem still exist...and it's very annoying...i even thought there was a problem with my touch screen panel and sent it to asus for repair but when i got it back, the same problem still remains..
Not starring because it does not bother me.
Life has too many other issues to worry about having to occasionally re-swipe.
Now pop-up ads in the Yahoo app could get me started...

Well over 500 people have voted to say they have a shonky screen, either one fault, several or all listed.
If Asus & Google don't by now know that there is a serious problem with QC of the actual screen and with the build quality then no amount of petitioning will work.
I noticed this issue minutes after pulling this thing out of the box, this might not bother you people who casually use their tablets, but top those of us who have been using android since the G1 notice this. It bothers me so much that I am considering taking this junk back and using the money to get a real tablet from Samsung.
This issue is so annoying to me, I not only notice it on the stock launcher, but also Nova and Apex. Now, the launcher I can deal with, but where I becomes a deal breaker for me is the browser, whether it's chrome or the stock browser in CM10. Trying to scroll around the OS that requires some flicking reminds me of trying to flick scroll on a resistive touch screen, I think that best describes the issue.
I just wanna know if it's fixable through a software update or a hardware problem, cause if it's the latter, this thing is going back, and that's too bad because it was a Santa gift, so I'll have some explaining to do.......

As I stated (not in precise terms sorry) in the OP, it would be a mistake to think that xda threads are the first place companies like Google and Asus check to see what issues people are having. They have issue and bug trackers for a reason. The universe does not revolve around our little community.
Also, this issue pertains to the general consensus that touch screen issues (like bounce back) have become exacerbated on 4.2 and above. Not anything regarding physical QC issues (though, to be fair, may very well be the root cause, but that is an entirely different issue; the fact of the matter remains that anecdotally it appears the touchscreen responded better on 4.1.2)
And besides, I'm just looking out for the well being of this device's future. Reporting bugs on bug trackers is important to these developers.

Yea the notification bar is better on 4.2.2, but the launcher still does it, nova prime does it too, and even when on dolphin or boat browser sometimes when you flick it will scroll nicely & sometimes a flick wont move the page much at all, weird and annoying, would be a much better experience if it was fixed!
This is a huge issue for me. Is there a way to increase or decrease sensitivity? Maybe that would help.

Interesting, I thought I was the only one who had noticed this. Don't know why I haven't seen this thread earlier.
For me I solved this by using apex launcher, somehow you never get those annoying jumpbacks. I tried nova launcher as well but it worked as bad as the original launcher. Going to star tomorrow.

If the dock connection problems are getting resolved, could people post some serial numbers of good dock/tablet combinations? I just received mine, and the fit is pretty bad. I'm still trying to figure out if I need to replace the dock, tablet, or both.

Hi everyone
How is your battery without the dock? Depending on which wifi I'm connected to I can only get 4 hours of screen time with the tablet alone and even less if I'm playing games.
I have a similar experience to the reviewer on Android Police http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...mium-specs-premium-price-budget-battery-life/
Is anyone else getting this? Wifi takes up a large part of the percentage.
Clearly 4 hours is silly for a tablet with such a big battery so I'm hoping it's software. Everything else about the tablet is PERFECT however and I am very happy. The speed at which it operates is insane. Finally I can leave my Windows laptop altogether.

These two issues are certainly not corrected. Bad dock connections still seem to be the norm, even for people who are just now receiving new tablets and docks. And the constant changes in brightness caused by the automatic background dimming "feature" is still an unresolved problem.

In france as in UK I guess , the tablet works fine with dock / no issues , however these tablets were not available until november , so I guess it's a new batch.
Well, concerning the issue of brightness you are right , it's still there !

[ROM][4.4.4][Unofficial] AOKP TF701T [06-27-1014][Nightlies]

Just wanted to share an unofficial build of AOKP for our TF701T's I did for myself.
Special thanks to Team AOKP for their wonderful rom!
Disclaimer: You flash it, you break it, you fix it. I will be update the builds weekly or so as new features are added into AOKP regularly.
Flash the same as any other rom. Use current Banks Gapps.
Known issue: I have enabled the glcomposer in the build.prop because the overall smoothness and battery life is greatly improved. However, because ASUS hasn't updated past 4.3, there may be occasional graphical glitches. You can disable the glcomposer by removing the one line in build.prop containing glcomposer in it BUT do try as it is first and see the difference for yourself. I have been using it for a couple weeks now and the graphical glitches are very small and barely noticeable.
Examples of where to see smoothness include: Scrolling homescreens. Swiping pages in App Drawer. Swiping pages in the widget drawer. Swiping away notifications while on homescreen. Swiping down notifications and quicktiles while on homescreen. Swiping to Google Now page in GEL launcher.

Excellent work. Very fast. No graphical glitches so far that i can see. Lets of options.:good:
It's great to see another ROM option for the tf701t! I just tried this out. The graphics really are quite smooth, and I love all of the customization options. Alas, as with cyanogenmod and cromi, Bluetooth functionality is severely diminished -- a mouse barely moves the cursor at all and a keyboard has severe typelag making it unusable. Any idea what's going on thereand how to fix it? I'm happy to be a guinea pig.
Awesome, glad to see other people trying this out!
I will post weekly build updates as often as possible.

Im amazed how smooth it is. I guess this shows with this tegra4 theres still room for improvement which is a good thing.
It's very nice. The camera doesn't crash, and I the current version of Netflix doesn't crash. With some roms I've had to use 3.0.

Not a mouse, but I had another bluetooth keyboard, so I paired it up and gave it a try. Worked perfectly fine with no typelag :/ The one that doesn't work is a combo keyboard/touchpad. I don't think xda will let me link to a product on amazon, but it's a "tp cromeer" branded case with builtin bluetooth keyboard/touuchpad. Made for the N8000, but it fits the tf701t quite nicely.
Any idea why just this one device wouldn't work?

I actually have a mini combo keyboard touchpad I can try tonight.
My guess is going to be some sort of silly device incompatibility though...
I dont have any problems with this inexpensive bluetooth keyboard.
I do find though. I dont know if its possibly the kernel or android itself or if too many apps are running in the background. Input in general and reponsiveness is lost completely until reboot. It starts to lag all input I think. Like touch sensitivity etc. I wonder if anyone else has found this on to be the case on this device. Not sure if there is some app thatll restore it by killing processes possibly. Another thing I notice is that Android is running tonnes of threads. Compared to the few that run on linux. 600+ on android. Less then 100 threads on Linux usually depending on the distro. This rom right now has 900+ threads showing in htop. But it is still smooth as butter. Maybe thats not a big deal then.

Yes -- I know exactly what you're talking about I think.
On any ROM I've tried, it happens. A fresh reboot always clears things up, but after running a few apps (and / or putting the tablet to sleep overnight perhaps?) the whole system lags a bit. General stuff, like switching programs and running apps like Tapatalk and Engadget (for example). I'm forced to kill apps manually, and that sometimes does the trick.
One thing I tried out yesterday that seems to be helping -- give this a shot too: in your developer settings, you'll see that you can restrict how many background processes are running. Currently, I have background processes limited to just 2 at a time (and also "strict mode" enabled)... and I have to say, I'm noticing a difference! Might take some more testing to see what the pros and cons of this are, but if it just means that I don't have background processes piling up on me, this might be a workaround?
Aside from that, has anyone tried Greenify with good results?

Honestly guys, I don't see this issue using this AOKP rom...I've left it for a few days no reboot, and I don't see any slowdowns/lag.
On a brighter note, I have a new build ready to be uploaded tonight.
I messed up some merges for battery/charging and was struggling to sort it out the last couple days.
All good now.
New build will be up later tonight.

i used to have the floating apps button at the bottom of the screen with the menu, back etc keys.. have they been taken off now? is there a way to get them back? they are seriously useful for me personally.. calculator, notes, converter etc
I believe Asus removed this when the released KitKat, so not a Cromi issue. Perhaps someone can suggest alternatives now that Asus killed it.

That's a bit of a shame, i used that on a daily basis.. I guess an alternative would be ok, but i did like the easy access of where the button was situated. I guess i need to evolve as android does

OnePlus 5 Jelly Scrolling Issue Debunked/Solved

Figured out how to reproduce the jelly scrolling effect on every phone I have. The jelly scrolling effect isn't an issue with the OnePlus 5. I was able to reproduce the bug on my OnePlus 3T and Samsung Galaxy S7. Here is a video displaying the bug:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylPgd4V-z98
Let me know what you think and if you can reproduce it every time like myself.
Edit: Turns out the stock launcher doesn't have the issue, but nova launcher does. I'm not exactly sure why nova launcher is causing it to happen, but maybe that is why a lot of people are experiencing the issue. Nova launcher is the most popular launcher on the market.

Strange, I just reinstalled nova and can reproduce the bug with stock settings. You're getting in between the grid on the app draw right? I was able to reproduce the bug on my 3t, s7 and LG tablet with nova launcher.
Yes in between app icons as said it defaults icons small think 5 in a row if reduce Grid to 4 in a row the gap between apps is greater will try with bigger gap

honestly i see nothing wrong in the video..
out of the dozen videos i have seen so far, i can only identify the jelly effect in one of them..
and that one is now used to illustrate the effect in all major sites/blogs i read..
not trying to imply anything.. maybe the only fact i come to realise from this jelly drama is that im one of the lucky few (who cannot see.. )

Try installing nova launcher and scrolling in between the app drawer grid (white area, completely avoid pressing the icons.) Let me know if you can duplicate it. I'm confused why other people are having issues reproducing it like myself. I was able to do it on 4 devices now.

Hmm, in the video it looks like I am directly in between the icons. I am under and middle part of the icons. Hopefully that makes sense. If that doesn't work, then I give up. >.>
Nope can't see it at all . Lol

That's fine. I installed Apex launcher and tested it. Definitely don't experience the jelly scrolling effect with it. Not a big deal if you don't want to contribute. Thanks for your feedback.

Hmm, o well. Thanks for trying at least. Appreciate it a lot. Wonder if other people will have the same issue I'm experiencing.
Only time I get a bit of judder is using appy geek app think due to the image adverts that play as you scroll through almost a jelly effect rather annoying but it's only app related

Issues solved? How? Where?
Still don't see the jelly on mine. I also ran into someone locally that also has a OP5 and he had no jelly screen either. I've got one of the early models and after this latest 4.5.5 update my bad wifi performance is finally gone which was the only real issue I had so far. I was also wondering if the whole jelly thing people are seeing is more noticeable with the standard white theme. I switched mine to the dark theme right out of the box.
Either way, I'm done trying to look for an "issue" that isn't there. I've been trying to spot an ounce of waviness/jellyness since the first reports started popping up and haven't seen anything as such since. Cant speak for anyone else but this is my second phone from OP and I personally have had nothing but great results on both.

I think some people are just more sensitive towards that Issue than others, just like the controversy about seeing 30/60/120 fps and so on

Thats the right way to go about it, if you can't see it, than there is no reason to furthermore try to find it.. Its like once you notice it, you pretty much cant unsee it.. so yeah, glad you dont see it, enjoy your phone!

Figured out how to reproduce the jelly scrolling effect on every phone I have. The jelly scrolling effect isn't an issue with the OnePlus 5. I was able to reproduce the bug on my OnePlus 3T and Samsung Galaxy S7. Here is a video displaying the bug:
Let me know what you think and if you can reproduce it every time like myself.
Edit: Turns out the stock launcher doesn't have the issue, but nova launcher does. I'm not exactly sure why nova launcher is causing it to happen, but maybe that is why a lot of people are experiencing the issue. Nova launcher is the most popular launcher on the market.

I always thought this jelly scrolling effect was bogus, ever since I got my oneplus 5 I have never ever seen anything like this...ever.
