I want to replace power button (standby / screen off) .
It can't or don't have any app , isn't it???
I'm sorry, but could you clarify what you're asking?
He wants an application that can be used to turn the screen off/put the phone to sleep. To "replace" the power button.

Carlos Graves from phonedog was showing off cyanogen a month or so ago and he had some sorta program that could power down your phone and such. I might be wrong though. If your phone is rooted, I could look it up for you.

Sure, i'd be glad to help. It will take me a little bit to find it though. I might be mistaken though but i'll report back whatever I can find.
Thanks, man.
I hope you find what you thought you saw, but I really doubt it was such an app, though. We have this other thread going on ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653209 ), and nobody seems to have heard of such a function currently available.
Shame though, as it turns out that alot of people is having major problems with their power buttons.
Well I found what I was looking for but it wasn't what I thought it was. I'm extremely sorry.
The program I thought turned off the phone is called "quick boot" but that just helps your phone boot into recovery and such. It can also reboot your phone which is a plus. It can be seen here

at 40 seconds into the video. Sorry about that.
No problem, that's what I thought. (See my last post.)
And the search continues...
If you're willing to root its a done deal on cm or enomthers.

What function are you referring to in cm?
Very sad news: I found that Transformer is built very bad hardware. The first is designed rickety, open light error and today, my screen was completely out of touch.
I am using normal and always in my pocket camalgams sock opens today but can not be unlocked by sliding finger. I tried rebooting many times. Even reset the rom but still is not. And I think that is certainly due to bad hardware.
The sad thing is that my machine was purchased overseas and now can not guarantee. I thought maybe I never use Asus again.
Who is like me?
what is your build number? what ROM are you using? did you try reflashing it? wiping it might not do anything but reflashing could. did you use the nvflash method?

Like said above, what ROM you're running? You can try flashing Prime 1.4 with nvflash and see if it helps.

before I buy one, I have read many complaints about the hardware failure of the Transformer, but finally decided to buy. And I was the victim.
Maybe I was a bit negative, I'm very sorry about that, but the machine of my friends are facing a similar situation (not including loss of touch-screen error).
I'm using the rom Prime v1.4, by nvflash root machine, operating system Android 3.1. I tried to flash and install rom but do not be.
Who is have a better way?

Some people have been able to fix this issue by letting the battery drain completely. This might take a long time though since the device will go into sleep mode once every 15seconds or so and causing it to drain little battery. I suggest you booting into CWM and letting it sit there till it shuts down by itself and then charge it to full to see if it helps. Many have reported success doing this.

Thanks so much, i will try it
I used nvflash to flash, should not be able to recovery, for trying to open up this screen. The fully charged battery,
If it comes down to it,just flash back to the stock rom and uninstall clockwork,send it back with the warranty card and the issue your having and Asus will fix your problem or send you a new tab,a friend of mine had to do that,he has a new tab now.

So sorry, my english is bad. I live in Vietnam and bought this machine in Hong Kong.
My screen is now in the installation. It takes very little battery power, I don't know how long it takes to out of battery
Help me plz !!!!!!!!!!!
I had this problem too with my first TF ... i owned it about 1 hour.
As I went back to the shop they said to me that I wasn't the first with this problem. They just gave me a new one.
So flashing back to the stock rom and sending it to ASUS would be a good solution from my point of view.
No Asus in Vietnam?

Except that for having so decided make to use even go need to do look more like, you still haven’t going really want to do not a twice as much to use go wish for that. I disagree for when anyone really been far even as decided once to use even go want, that they have really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like.

Do you think that mocking somebody who can't speak good English is funny?
The person has a problem and is asking for help. If you can't help, then shut the **** up.

What's especially funny is that we have a guy in Vietnam posting clearly enough in English that we know what's going on and have offered suggestions to fix his problem, which he is now following.
I wonder how many of us would be able to do the same in any foreign language forum, much less one in Vietnam.
Excuse the colorful language. I'm a Vietnamese expat who had to learn English, and these sort of grade-school behavior tend to get me hot under the collar. I wish I can help the OP, but I don't have a TF.

Unfortunately not many , which is very sad. If we are not careful we''ll be eaten up, spit out, & forgotten about if as a nation we don't change course.
Hi all,
About 2 weeks ago I noticed the bottom left of my screen would activate by itself repeatedly. This mostly seemed to happen when I was trying to type something. It carried on for a while so tonight I flashed a romkitchen rom (2.3.3) (I was on 2.2.1 before), thinking it might be a bug in the system somewhere. Well the problem is still there and I;ve discovered it's always that same corner of the screen that does it no matter what orientation I have it in. I can't even sign into the market at the moment because it makes it impossible to type and the screen ends up freezing until I press the home screen.
Is there anything this could be other than a hardware issue? I did a full factory reset etc during the flashing process.
If I need to send it back would I need to flash it back to stock? I bout my phone from O2 in the UK, where can I get the correct firmware? samfirmware has loads but how do I know which one I need?
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue. Did it ever get rained on or something? Do you use a screen protector?
You might want to edit the topic title, although it is quite funny. Read it and think a bit.
ROFLMAO
That is by far the funniest thread title I've seen on here yet
It does sound like a hardware issue though.

It happens at random. Sometimes it works fine. Not related to being plugged in though
I know someone that had the same issue, though it was with the Vibrant (not i9000m). He sent it to samsung, but it still has the same problem, though not as frequent. I haven't seen him in a while so I'm not sure if he ever got it resolved...

Just to eliminate all possible outside influences, take the protector off and clean the screen really well - and see if it still does it. If it does, then bring it in and try your best to be convincing

I'll see how it goes with the protector off. I think my screen is failing though as now on occassion the screen will completely freeze and I have to put it to sleep and wait a few minutes for it to start working again.
Can anyone point me in the direction of carrier specific stock firmwares? I can only find stock android ones.
Thanks,

this is so true
I've had the same problem. Unlocked SGS on Orange UK. The problem was on/off for a while but eventually got so bad I couldn't use the phone, removing screen protector made no difference.
I stuck an old Froyo build on and took it into carphonewarehouse, they sent it off and it was fixed in their repair centre. No problems since and that was 4 months ago.
Not sure how you would go about getting the operators rom on there but I'm sure you can mess around with Kies to get it to download the one you want.

Think that's what I'll have to do then. Hadn't thought of using Kies, thanks for that. I'll whack a stock 2.1 rom on there and see if it will update to 2.2 through kies.

hello xda,
i am a huge android fan and i bought this tablet the first day it was available in my country, but am am very very disappointed: it doesn't stop freezing, when i take a photo it will freeze 1/2 times, the screen takes around 5 sec to turn on, rotating takes very long time, sometimes it freezes with a very strange sound coming from the speakers, ect ect ect
i cant trust this tablet: when i am writing a message on a forum i will freeze and restart (maybe the keyboard freezes) i have to save my message a few times into google keep to be sure i don't lose my work. i could throw this out of my window. i hope android 5.0 will fix all these problems, otherwise i will sell it.
are you guys experiencing the same problems ? , i know many of you are hiding them that's what i did in the beginning, otherwise my friends (who are all apple fanboys) would laugh at me.
i am fed up with this thing, do anybody know how to fix all these problems ? if these problems can only be solved with a factory reset, its better for me that i sell it.
is anyone interested ? i can send it to anyone living in europe.
greetings,

I didn't hide mine. Your power issue is a bad motherboard. YOu need to call Samsung and tell them its the PBA and you know it is- include a written note when you RMA, they WILL read it (even though my experience, despite having proof they've read these notes, with Samsung is still resoundingly negative). The only ones I've had as far as issues was a power issue and touch screen, the post-repair issues notwithstanding.

the only thing ive seen for burn in removal are apps that basically just flash the screen as bright and full as it can to try to flood those pixels with R, G and B to blast out the burn-in. They have to run for like 30 to 40 hours straight, but ive never let it run for more than 10 min as the phone gets wicked hot and i wasnt willing to put it in a bucket of asbestos (in case of note 7 stuff happening) with a fan blowing on it to keep it cool. I have a S7 with some pretty noticeable burn in that i guess i could try it on, but where am i gonna find asbestos these days???

Yeah mate, also I read that all they do is make the rest of the pixels crap, though he said it will only take 15 minutes, I still find it hard to believe, when screen burn happens common sense tells me it needs a new screen. Unfixable.
Asbestos ? I'm a bit confused on that one mate. You being serious, what you need that for.

Naw mate, the asbestos was just foolin around about how hot the little [email protected] gets when it's running thru the paces of what the burn-in app does to "fix" it LoL but I'm quite leary of the 15 min fix with an app... I would say "here is the cash for the cost of the procedure, if it works to my satisfaction, we will transact a payment for your services. If it is not, however, we will not transact and I shall be on my merry way, cash in pocket"
If he finds that to be unreasonable, then he doesn't seem very confident in the process and likely can't do what he claims. A person confident in their process would gladly accept the payment up front as a collateral of sorts. Rambling, sorry...

No worries, yeah very true. He did say that if the screen burn isn't bad he's yet to see it fail, said it only fails if it's really really bad.
I mean I'm sure there version of the burn in fix is better than the apps and YouTube. And I'd rather that than nothing. If they notice the Knox has been tripped lol I'm still under warranty but Knox is tripped. And this guy's a jobsworth I can tell.
