I love the n7...mostly. I want it to succeed
But the issues where the touchscreen will have dead zones / drop touch / not work properly are killing me!
Is this driving anyone else nuts? I have had two different ones, and they both have the problem.
I'm hopeful that either this will be a software fix, or that there will be a later hardware revision that I can rma for.
But man, this is a big problem!
Edit.....
Here is a post on the problem

ok, return and get a new one or demand a refund. I doubt no one here thought defects in a product were awesome, contact customer service
Are you not having these issues? I have had them on two different devices... Reports are starting to show up on the blogs.... I figured this was a device wide problem.

Im not having any issues either, but i havent played any tegra 3 specific games on it yet.
It only seems to happen sometimes... Particularly bad after playing intense games (dead trigger, e.g.).
Seems worse on the right side for me.
I in fact only took delivery of the 2nd one in the hopes that it wouldn't have the problem.

No issues here, played a few games and not a prob
Never seen any touch issues myself.
I had the issue this morning after powering up with the charger attached. The right hand side of the keyboard was very unresponsive. I was concerned the rooting I performed last night was contributing to the problem.
After powering off again it seemed to reset and has been working fine the rest of the day.
While it was unresponsive I downloaded a touch test app and it was struggling to see presses over 1/4 of the screen primarily the bottom right when in portrait orientation.
Thankfully it seems to be OK at present.

Hi all,
i'm wondering if anyone else experienced this: Every once in a while I notice that my cellular connection drops out (not just data connection, but completely with the little "x" in the notification bar). This happens maybe 2-3 times a day, but it really depends on how much I look at it. It doesn't matter if I'm connected to Wifi or not.
It usually comes back after a few seconds, but I can never be sure that the phone is not disconnected during standby, which is a little concerning...
From my Galaxy S2 I'm used to Radio/RIL crashes with custom ROMs, maybe this is something like that!?
I'm on T-Mobile Germany with a "normal" HSPA subscription (no LTE).
Did anyone else notice that on their phone?
Cheers,
Jan
i pretty much had the same issue, as well on custom ROMs (Trickdroid / RevolutionHD) as on stock ROM using Congstar (which is pretty much T-Mobile). I took out the SIM and cleaned it a bit, as i was thinking of some kind of hardware issue. But as i changed to ARHD 5.1 pretty much the same time, i don't know what of those did the trick. I did not recognize any dropouts since then. So i recommend cleaning the SIM a bit because it's never a bad idea and using ARHD because it's just one awesome rom. ;D
I'm also on congstar/T-Mobile. I already cleaned the SIM a bit, but it hasn't helped much. Maybe I should get some cleaning alcohol.... But it's strange, never had that problem with a SIM....

Android 4.1.2
Sense 5.0
Software version 1.28.401.7
Kernel 3.4.10
Baseband-Version 4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05L
Before anyone asks: This also happens with a perfect cell signal.
i'd recommend going to a 1.29 build. I'm not quite sure if it's a fix that came directly from HTC or if it's something mike did with his ARHD, but i never saw those dropouts again since then.
Well, I received the 1.29 OTA yesterday. Still the same problem ....
It also happens on my device with vodafone. I use ARHD 7.0 and latest radio. Signal disappears some seconds and thrn comes back slowly switching from edge to 3g to H and then back to lte. That is really annoying sometimes

You could also try selecting WCDMA Only under mobile data option in settings, this has improved signal.
Ok I enabled fastboot option. Maybe it makes a difference. WCDMA only is no option because I pay for LTE and want to use it

Is anyone having trouble with Wifi dropping out? I had no problems with my TF700T, but my new TF701T seems to drop Wifi quite a bit.
It seems that when the signal is a bit weaker, the connection drops pretty frequently. I've done some very quick testing with Wifi Analyzer and it seems that when the signal gets down to about -60dBm, the connection starts dropping and re-connecting. That signal is not the strongest, but I wouldn't expect the connection to fully disconnect. Other devices, including the TF700T have no problems in the same areas with the same signal strength.
I'm going to try some other channels, but is anyone else having this issues?
Yes, I do have some wifi issues as well. What wifi band do you use, and what's your rom version?
My wifi is 2.4GHz, channel 6, signal at -65 dBm (when it does detect the network). My laptop has no problem connecting to it (perceiving it at -60 dBm).
Running 12.26.1.18 WW.
After the .18 update my connection dropped completely after I used Wifi analyzer. Running on channel 48 5ghz. (measures -60 dbm/ 3 bars of 4)
Wifi is back connected at 72 mbps - solid connection after i uninstalled wifi analyzer and rebooted... wtf?
Inssider works though
I'm on the 10.26.1.18 US build. I'm on 2.4Ghz (CH 6 and now changed to CH 1). I do have Wifi Analyzer installed, but I installed it after seeing the problem in order to measure my signal, so I'm not sure that has anything to do with it for me. It seems a little more stable now that I switched channels, but I still see it drop. Sometimes it drops while I'm actively using it, sometimes when I turn it on the Wifi isn't connected and eventually comes back. All seems to be related to the slightly weaker signal for me, which shouldn't be a problem since it is still an ok signal for (2-3 bars, -60dBm, no other devices with trouble).
Something doesn't seem right...hopefully it is software.
Did you guys notice this prior to the .18 update? I went almost directly to it since I have only had the device for a week...
Mine just dropped again. So probably its not related to wifi analyzer.
Did not have any problems before the .18 update so its most likely caused by that update.
I never thought the wifi reception was great on my device, but it does indeed seem much worse after the .18 upgrade. I will try to downgrade and report back.
Ok, I downgraded to 10.26.1.7 WW, and things are working smoothly again. Wifi is still not very speedy, but at least it seems stable.
Steps to downgrade:
WARNING: Downgrading formats /data and /cache. You will lose all your data.
Download and extract the 10.26.1.7 WW update from asus
Rename UL-K00C-WW-10.26.1.7-user.zip to T4_SDUPDATE.zip
Put T4_SDUPDATE.zip at the root of a FAT32-formatted MicroSD-card
Reboot to recovery
It's the update. Someone bring it to ASUS attention. Because I'm getting the same thing

I have had no issues with my device dropping WiFi. Been using it fairly heavily since I got it a little over a week ago.

Could you tell us what wifi parameters you are using (band, channel)? What version of the tf701t do you have (US, WW,…)?

I have used it on multiple WiFi connections. Work, Home, and Public. Never had an issue with it dropping.
Build#: JSS15J.US_epad-10.26.1.7-20131108
WiFi Version: 7.2.42
My home router is a Linksys EA4500. Work router is a SmartRG 300. Dunno what they use in the coffee shops I've visited.

Thanks for the details. It seems 10.26.1.7 does indeed have no wifi issues.
Anyone with 10.26.7.18 having no problem with wifi? And if so, do you have a WW or US version?
I suspect this to be WW-specific. What do you guys experiencing drops have?
That's really strange. When I started the device for the first time, it prompted me for the OTA update, to Android 4.3. That's what I installed, and that's what I've been running this entire time now. However I see that on the Asus site there is a newer version available. Even doing a manual check for the OTA update on the device, it doesn't see this new version that is on Asus' site.
Should I try to install the 10.26.7.18 update? I can't see a changelog on Asus' site, and idea what this update is supposed to fix?
I also noticed there is a new version of firmware (10.26.1.18) that was released today for WW SKU devices.

According to some (see the upgrade's thread), .18 fixes the auto-backlight flickering issue, but I didn't see any imporvement on that side. Considering the wifi problems, I would not recommend the update, except if you are brave enough to try it out and are not afraid to downgrade (losing your data) if things turn out not so well.

I saw it too. It seems to be the "normal" upgrade, compared to the T4_SDUPDATE.zip which can be used to downgrade. I don't know if there is a difference between both.
I am on the .18 US version with the wifi drop issue so I don't think it is WW specific.

Hi, i have a weird situation. A few month ago my display stops reacting if I touch it, so I can't use my phone.
After wipe it starts functioning again.
A few weeks ago my phone falls down. My display worked, except a little area in the top left. I use it and since a few days it works 100 % again.
Normally a hardware is defect or not. Can someone explain this? I have bought a new display, but my old one is perfect now.
I'll wait until it stops working again if I'll change the display. But I can't understand this.
Kind regards.

Try increasing the touch sensitivity. My friend had this issue with the Y6 Pro
I'm on day 2 with this phone, I've just moved over from a Note 8 and so far loving it!
It's still early days and not sure if over time I'll regret my decision coming away from Samsung, after being with them for a last 3/4 years, but I fancied a change and got really annoyed with the battery life on the Note 8!
Anyway my post is about the Face Unlock on the Mate 10 Pro, which came via the OTA update, well its soo much better and quicker than my Note 8 that it's maybe a little too good! For instance I like that it detects me even when wearing sunglasses, the Note 8 didn't, but when I'm at work I put my phone on my Wireless Charger (I know this doesn't have wireless charging before anyone says anything, I'm just using it as a stand atm) and when I get a notification come through my phone unlocks ha!
I have the setting on so my phone screen lights up when a notification comes through, similar to iOS, along with face Unlock which is rapid, it just unlocks my phone!!
I'm not complain just surprised at the difference between the Note 8 and Mate 10 Pro!

Can you test if the phone unlocks with a photo. I remember reading somewhere it did. But Huawei was going to fix it

Mate 10 C636 on april update (.134) and I just tried face unlocking after having this phone for months, its super, super, incredibly fast. Works in dark areas but not super dark areas. I tried it on a dimly lit room and it worked, on a room with no lights it doesn't work because it doesn't use infrared.
I'm blown away by how fast it is.. I wanna bet $100 that this is so incredibly fast because the face detection is done by the NPU which is purpose built for stuff like this..

Yes snap, I just cannot get over how quick it is compared to the Note 8!! I've noticed it works well in low light too, but not completely dark!

You can change that it goes to homescreen automaticallybut you stay on lock screen. There is a setting that disables going to homescreen but still unlocks the phone. Then you only need to swipe to go to homescreen or double tap the notification.
I have that turned on because I like to check my Lockscreen before deciding whether I want to use the phone (see who texted before deciding whether I text back or ignore).
Additionally you can enable that the contents of your notifications are hidden unless your face is detected. This way you nosey GF won't be able to see your side chick texting you. Lol
edit: i never managed to fool it with a photo. tried many times.
Fast but not accurate
As a camera with nothing else its so quick but I've got problems because it detects my twin brother as mine "some times" but its good enough

Ah thanks, I've just changed it so I have slide to unlock now, as I much prefer that as I can read the notifications and respond as and when!
I tried the hide notifications to start off with but turned it off as preferred them on, I don't have a nosey girlfriend to deal with, hell I don't even have a girlfriend so I'm good there lol!
