I don't think this has been posted yet, but I am seeing a weird bug with the camera that is different than all the other camera/camcorder bugs I've seen, most of which have fixes.
If I am in landscape mode of the home screen on Launcherpro or Go Launcher and open camera app, everything is fine. If I am in portrait mode of the home screen and open camera app, more often than not, I get a camera failed message.
I have tried this with both Launcherpro and Go Launcher. I have reinstalled camera. Wiped cache, wiped data, formatted sf card. Happens with both stock camera and the camera in the EB13 GB theme.
Anyone else experiencing this?
just tested this and my phone doesn't show this bug.
I'm on stock EB13 with camera bug fix kernel over it.
Im actually getting the same problem and im using go launcher idk about LP. Im running the midnight 4.1 eb13 rom.
sometimes the camera will start and be completely black and just sit there and I restart and then get "camera failed" it takes a few restarts to get it going which is annoying because most photo ops are come and go :/
Anyways nice to know im not the only one with the problem. Any help would be much appreciated

Yes, that is exactly my issue. Workaround I figured out is to be in landscape mode before launching the app, but this is not really a solution. I found this bug on midnight 4.0 and syndicate frozen rom. Surprised more people haven't seen it.

Also no problems with the camera here in this regard. Using a stock RFS kernel with no lag fix.
I have no problems either - I have a stock EB13 that has been rooted via oneclickroot cwm 2.5.5 - no roms or kernels except stock, the only that I have done is install the camera/video lag and the slow rotation fix.

Hey
I'm using the Virtuous Xoom v. 1.1.2 ROM on my A500, and all of the sudden I can't play videos any more. The gallery just dims down when I press a movie. I've tried rebooting multiple times without any results.
I'd really rather not have to reset the device.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: All I had to do was change the UI language, and then it worked again. Odd.
Thanks.
You might get more luck posting this in the ROM thread instead of a500 general. Since you've modded your tablet, that no longer qualifies as an Acer issue it's now a ROM issue.
Hopefully someone will come along with better advice.

Thanks, I'll try that!
Just a thought.. were you using moboplayer?
I was on a trip and my 3yo was watching videos on my tab when the videos just went black but audio still worked fine. Everying else on the tablet worked fine, but when I tried to play a video, the screen would go off.
Later I discovered, she had turned the brightness all the way down by sliding her finger down the left side of the screen while the video was playing. And this only affected videos, not the whole tablet.
No, I was just using the default video player

Number three isn't related to YouTube specifically, it happens any time you're supposed to receive the prompt to select an app to complete a given action, if you're docked or locked in landscape orientation, and haven't rotated the screen since the last reboot. The workaround is to enable screen rotation, then turn the device to portrait orientation until the screen rotates. (You can do this while the screen is half-dimmed). The prompt will immediately start working properly again, until the next reboot.
One problem not on your list is that the weather widget still randomly adds a half-line of blank space before the location, causing the temperature line to be cut off at the bottom. Also, the new "Last update" line places AM/PM after the date / before the time, rather than after the time where a native English-language speaker would place it.
Additional bug (possibly) - microphone
When chatting on Google Video Chat, and having headphones plugged in, the person on the other end can barely hear me. Take the headphones out and its much better.
Tried using the app called Voice Record which has sound level needle and tested the same situation with the same outcome. Mic is good without headphones plugged in, but once they are, the mic goes to like 2-5% input level.
Tried same on a friends TF with same outcome. Not sure if this is an OS issue or hardware/driver thing

I have the exact same issue (prime 1.7), and I'm pretty sure it wasn't here before on prime 1.6.
I have one issue with 3.2:
When I am trying to open file which could be opened with couple of programs screen become darker, but no table with programs to choose.
The same with all ROM's (Prime, Rewolver, original). When downgrading to 3.1 all works well.
Do anybody experiencing the same issue? Mine is B50

Yes, I have this problem too, maybe I installed a file manager app and the app clash with the build-in file explorer.
When I click the file name of a avi file, the screen becomes darker without pop up a app selecting windows. It seems that the system hangs when a file tries to link with a corresponding app.
Will this happens with the use of the build-in file explorer only?
On my mail, if i hit on a link on a message..screen goes dark also, the post above said rotate screen, now it works when rotated...bug!!! Also, on stock browser doing a entering of info on screen, like a Google search, damn cursor gets removed of edit box. Another bug...I found...decaf coffee taste crappy...hopefully the upgrade the taste...
rotating screen really helps.
Thanks.
This bug doesn't efect any software installed. I have made fresh install with no any software Stock ROM with Nwflash. Bug comes after second reboot. no mater which ROM you are using.
With elder ROM's based on 3.1 no problem.
Anyway rotating screen helps.

Touch screen most of the time, unresponsive (takes alot of tapping for a respond), usually happens at the lower part of the screen,
Is it just me?
Was the 3.2 wifi issue solved with latest update patch, wifi drops out unless you designate static ip?
No problems with touch screen and WiFi for me.
I brought my transformer to Asus service center in my country, to complain about the white spots in the middle of the screen, they have agreed to replace my screen, is that right?
I thought they would replace the whole unit, hopefully the new screen will fix the responds issue

Hey thanks for this tip. The dark screen-pick app thing sucks and was making me insane. I definitely have this same bug on stock 3.2 with root. Other than that, I haven't had any major bugs except maybe standby battery life not being as good as before 3.2.
Greetings. I have a Motorola Xoom and when I run Netflix, the first time it looks fine. After that, When I run it again, the Netflix menu looks huge and I cannot really navigate around it. The only way to fix the problem is to either clear the Netflix cache and data every time before I use it (requiring me to log back in each time), or installing version 1.3 (which then annoyingly prompts me to upgrade every time I launch it).
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?
Nobody else has this problem? Really?
I run Netflix on Xoom quite often but I don't have the problems you describe. My issues are usually with the app locking up and needing to force close it and restart. It was definitely running much better in the older versions.
I have the exact same problem, but I can't solve it even if I clear the cache. It's somehow showing the "stretched" phone UI instead the tablet UI. It's just unusable now.
Same problem here.....it went away for awhile, but it is back. Even tried facotry reset, didn't work.
I was able to install an HD version on Xoom running ics ROM

May fix your problem but I doubt it. This should just change the buffering.
I had netflix issues too with honeycomb. It wouldn't even load to even log in.
Flashing the EOS nightly ICS rom fixed it.
What I did is uninstall find version 1.3 install that and visit the market it sees the old version and updates it.
Working fine now.
I have 1.3 if you need it I think but its the one found in xda forums

Hi all,
I have noticed some strange graphics on the top part of my homescreen when on portrait mode. It seems random and a restart is required to fix it.
I have uploaded some screenshots to my dropbox: http://db.tt/X9HSzTw9
There is no flickering it's just static and I never encountered this issue on HC. Anybody else noticed this behavior? I wonder if it is ICS or hardware related.
Thanks for all your help
Try another launcher and see if it goes away. I remember having something similar (although not as severe) on the stock launcher.
My favorite is Nova Launcher, which is basically the same as stock but with more options, and a hell a lot faster
Also, enabling "Force 2D GPU Rendering" in the settings/development can, sometimes, cause those kinds of artifacts. So if you got that turned on, try turning it off.
Im finding it hard to believe its a HW issue and lean more towards "ICS Issue"... ICS isnt exactly what I'd call bugfree
I experienced the same thing with Youtube App (Even the reboot won't help)
ICS is a big failure so far
I had the same issue at first, factory reset got it stable. Try not to restore apps, I see this advice all over the forums in this case, just reinstall them from the market again.
Good luck
