Don't forget we need to find a unlocking metod.
I have my still locked because if I unlock by code. There no more interest in ulocking..
But about other bugs I don't know realy. My TG01 work purfect may be has some little bug who we can solve with time. General I think is just a dizain of the software.

if you are looking phone sim unlocked then check out TG01 forum on modaco for details. £10 to unlock.
if you are waiting for sim unlocking software then i think you are in for a long wait!!
another bug
can we have an accurate battery life indicator,
odd that you can restart device and get extra 10% battery life. which is quite fun when the rom locks you out at 20% battery life on wifi
also quite odd that the 20% battery lock suspends wifi/camera, BUT not music and videos. i would have thought having the screen on with backlight video on, and speaker running would drain battery more. what idiot thought of that!!
for
2 and 3 try srswow 3 cab over at modaco
4. makes me want to scream
5. you just have to double tap screen to activate screen a little message comes up and tells you (but you would have phone on your ear when message comes up) stupid toshiba.
6. not that i know of i just edit them in mp3 prog and put them in tone folder
again annoying but its that or there stupid tones
8. hopefully the cooked rom happens
mine are
10. phone randomly turning of
11. camera takes ages to start
12. "forgets" wep key all the time
i wont be getting a toshiba again il get the eventual hd3 when contract runs out in 1.6 years.

Are you lookign for bugs that we all have? Or just wanting to compare people's experiences?
1 - totally - if nothing else can be fixed... fix this
2 & 3 - 'fixed' by WOW SRS HD ?? (certainly my volumes are acceptable, i did change somethign in the reg tho...)
4 - yeah & how does the BT stay on past the 20% (if it was already in operation) but the wifi doesn't
5 - this really should be turn off-able.. prob a coincidence, but when the screen switches off the call qual seems to drop..
6 - never tried this
7 - nor this (i use g maps for on the fly navigation)
8 - mine's ok....
9 - never had this... had some probs coming off standby b4 i installed SRS HD properly..
10 - 2 seconds for me - is that slow??
11 - not had this on any of the 3 wlan i connect too..
12 - never used video
13 - totally my work phone is hd2 & the camera on that is amazing, TG camera is embrassing
can i add
14 - i want to reject a call with sms msg
15 - i want to be rid all the orange ****e that the phone is stuck with, orange plus & boot up screen etc
16 - i want a sys tray icon for everything, don't share 2 'G' symbols between GPS/2G/3G/HSDPA/GPRS etc
17 - strange bug, my file browser (ie change today screen click "browse" NOT file explorer) can't see my mem card
18 - win logo some times displayed on lock screen, sometimes not - tapping it does nothing !!
i'm sure i can think of more...
cheers

- random self-restart/reboot are what piss me the most off (specially when you are making a call!).

I had many of them when I was trying HTC sense (2.1 or 2.5), now with the default WM6.5 screen I do not get any more random reboots.
i use spb mobile shell...
buggin issue
I've noticed my tg01 is so much more stable since I turned of the auto orientation, it used to freeze 3 to 5 times a day, now I hav'nt had to soft reset it for weeks.
I am looking forward to see what development the XDA people can do to get this amazing piece of hardware running smooth, fast & sweet.
Hi
Your probleme at point 10 (phone randomly turning of) it's caused by SRS_WOW( this is still not a stable and compatible verzion for our TG01) . You must uninstall it and no more randomly turning off happends. I had that probleme too.
sorry but i don't have srs_wow and my tg01 (all of them actualy : waranty returns) had this shut down/reboot problems regardless the os (i.e wm6.1 or wm6.5) and regardless softwares installed on it.
Must say I had a lot of problems with SRS WOW being installed or which I lead to believe was the problem. My phone would restart itself every so often but it also didn't like going to sleep it just crashed and stayed in that state until you soft reset it.
I did a hard reset and installed the software that I found useful to myself, didn't install anything like the graphic driver update or SRS WOW and its working flawlessly apart from the call quality issues.
In regards to the above post if you've had a few tg01's and they are all randomly reseting its not a hardware fault with the phone, I'm sure it'll be software which is causing these problems.
I think the first and foremost problem that'll hopefully be fixed by the rom devs is the call quality issues since after all that's why people have a phone, to make phone calls.
Finger Keyboard from xda: after some time keyboard doesnt pop up (especially if phone was standby for a while), switching to other keyboard not possible -> soft reset
Screen Bug: unlock screen in landscape mode bugs, after sliding nothing happens, only if i hit the area where ok button would be..
->not that bad cause i use S2u2
Standby Bug: pressing button to switch on again, screen only blinks for short time..need several tries to get the screen permanently on,to slide..
storage bug: using some programs except the ram of tg01 bugging, than hitting standby button short-- whoops phone goes off and restarts..
bugmode #2: if i take battery out because of extreme bugging after soft reset, sometimes restarts and then there is only a text saying "ok", i can't touch and need to restart again..
i noticed a bug with toshibas keyboard
turning caps look on the delete button doesnt work!!
maybe a hard reset might fix this, but im not willing to reset again
has cook got a test device or does he not want to unlock it now!
Too much bug for this phone :
- Poor memory management, the unit must be reset periodically to free memory or use cleanram utility.
- The device have many difficulties to switch the band from HPDSA to GSM when network is poor. I must regulary change the band manually to keep data use.
- Bad management of motion sensor and light sensor.
- Call volume is sometimes low my contact don't heard me
Some improvement would be apreciated
voluntary e
yeah low cal volume a pain.just as well we have sms texts
hey all,
so i was working with TF late at night, and i conveniently pushed the power button to suspend it (not turning it off), and the next morning, it just refuses to light up. I have the keyboard dock as well, but I was not using it at that time, and when i dock it, nothing happens.
any ideas? it starts to make me worry, since i had it for just 3 days.
thnx
Mine does that a lot.
First, plug it into the wall to make sure you've got some battery life.
Then try holding down the power button for a long time, maybe a minute. Then I push it a couple more times and it always comes up.
Just keep pushing that power button!
agreed sounds like the same issue that many of us have experienced (I've had it a dozen times or more). Each time just hold the power button for 10-12 secs, release then turn on as normal and it mysteriously comes back to life. Plenty of posts on this forum about it.
And unfortunately this problem persists for me even after the recent OTA update...
If the Samsung Tab 10.1 had a microsd slot, I think my Transformer would be on eBay right now.
Getting tired of unpaid beta testing.
Sorry for re-posting a common issue. On a side note, I was on the latest OTA firmware too.
I am off to work will try again in the evening.
Also, when it happens, does it also drains battery? Or is it just a not powering up issue
thanks for all the responses
It depends... Sometimes I get it to wake up and it says it has battery life. (Most of the time actually.)
Someone was saying that if you turn of the wifi new notifications option sometimes that helps. (I think that was the option...)

SOD
I have the SOD problem with the official rom (asus), not rooted, at the last version.
I have the problem even if wifi is off prior to put it to sleep (power off, no shutdown). If it stay docked with keyboard, i have no problem. It looks like i always have the problem without dock, after about 20 minutes, it no longer resume and have to press power button for 10 secondes and then it restart to boot like if has been shutdown.
Is there a log file somewhere ?
I did not notice this problem the first few day i had my tf, only since yesterday.
Maybe one of the installed program is causing the problem ?

I hope they can solve the problem soon, cause that make no sens to have to always reboot (take ~15 sec)
Only the programs that are currently running not installed programs.
If you have a mini HDMI cable try to hook it up to a tv or monitor to see if that works. I had the same SOD issue but it's not really a screen of death. What happened to mine was just the back light died. If you have good eyes and are in a dimly lit area try turning it on and see if you can see the lock screen. I was able to see the lock screen, enter my pin, and actually vaguely see the home screen. Also if it hooks up to the monitor and you have adb access, chances are the back light is dead. Let me know how it goes.

Seems to be alot of peoples sentiments.
Theres not even a chance of a dongle right ?
Asus transformer is turning into a very strange device with its combination of demand and HW problems.
don't know if this will help for you, but i fixed the sleep of death problem by removing my lockscreen to a normal unsecured login. prior, i set up a lockscreen pattern code.
it fixed my sleep of death problems when i was having it the first couple of days and i haven't had any since day 1.
sod
I do not have any password, only the default lock that you have to move out of circle.
Last night, i left it on sleep (power off but no shutdown) with no running application (had just reboot previoulsy) and in the morning i had to press power 10 seconds to make it reboot, the power on was not working.
just got back home, as for lock pattern, i had none, just plain honeycomb locking mechanism. I will try the 10sec power button trick right away though.
it worked! thanks all.

You touch on something here. I do wonder if it's some app that's causing issues. Looking at your list above, I do not have most of the apps you list, and my TF has never encountered the SOD. I have a dock as well, both updated to the latest firmware, and still no issues.
I really wonder if it's something running in the background that just doesn't want to let the device start back up.
I'd suggest to people encountering the problem to first (as much as it sucks) do a factory reset and then be sure the firmware is up to date. Then install only a few applications - just the core ones you use the most frequently - preferably only a couple at a time. Then use the sleep mode and see what happens.
I'll add this as well - I had an Archos 101 that had a SOD problem. I figured out that it happened a lot if the screen off timeout was exceeded. Meaning, if I had the screen timeout set to 2 minutes, and I put it into sleep for more than 2 minutes, a lot of the times, it encountered the SOD.
Right now, my TF is set to keep the screen on. Perhaps this is a factor as well?
If anyone would like to test either or both theories above, try only one at a time. If you change too many things and then fix a problem, it's a lot harder to tell which action resolved the problem.
still sof
I still have the problem. And it is not a dim problem.
nothing on the screen.
Have to press 10 seconds o the power to have it to boot.
Isn't Asus going to do something about it ?

May I know which version you are using now?
Version no
Here are the version number :
Version android : 3.0.1
GPS : 1.2.4
Wifi : 5.248.35
Bluetooth : 6.12
kernel : 2.6.36.3-00004-g069b8b5
build : HRI.US_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511
Dock : EP101-0209
Language
I dont know but maybe i have something... i did'nt remembered but i think i started to have that problem when i changed the language of my tf to "french (canada)". Now i have reverted it back to "English US", and so far it doesn't look like i have the problem anymore... i'll continue to test that way and i will report back.
I have rebooted after changing the language, or else i still had the problem.
It's more than a month since I rooted my NST starting from firmware 1.1.2 using TouchNooter 2.1.31. I've had no serious weirdness until a couple of days ago, when it stopped responding to a short press of the power button. Here are a few details:
It still responds to a long press of the power button with the expected "Power Down?" dialog, so the button itself isn't broken.
It still goes to sleep when it times out and when I tap the Button Savior power button, so the sleep function isn't broken.
The only unusual thing I was doing soon before I noticed the problem was using Nook Touch Tools to remap some buttons and reboot.
I also used Nook Touch Tools to clear the Dalvik cache. (I did this because I was hoping to improve the performance of Wiki Encyclopedia Pro, but that's a story for another day.)
Any thoughts?
(BTW, my main reasons for rooting were to enable some light browsing and also some news apps like Pulse, Currents, and Wiki Encyclopedia Pro. For the first two I haven't been able to find apk versions that will run on Android 2.1. For the last, it runs but not at all well. Navigation is impossible in most of the newspapers, making it pretty useless. Any and all suggestions appreciated.)
ETA: No need to respond. I decided to revert to stock, which fixed the issue. I had fun rooting and playing around, but for daily use it wasn't worth it. I really just wanted a reader. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus for the other stuff. Reading on that screen isn't as pleasant as on the NST, but the Tab runs those apps very well indeed.
Installed Windows 8 Pro on a HP g6 1302tx Laptop(Installed some of the important Windows 8 drivers from HP). The laptop turns off if I close the lid while playing graphic intense games such as Assassins Creed III. Actually, it even turns off if I close the lid while playing World of Warcraft. Not sleep mode. It just turns off. Maybe it hibernates/shuts down, I don't know. I have to press the power button to turn it on.
Closing the lid is supposed to 'do nothing'. Closing the lid while using other programs does nothing, which is good. This only happens while playing games.
The fan works and I use a Cooler Master cooling pad when I play games. I've turned off 'switchable graphics' so it only uses the 7450M graphics card. Action buttons(Simply press f11 instead of fn+f11 to mute, etc.) are also disabled. Also, the laptop is plugged in through a UPS when I play.
I don't want the laptop to turn off when I close the lid as it is inconvenient. Please tell me what I should do to fix this issue.
I have never before heard of the behavior you describe, though I have an old HP laptop that I could test on (currently configured to use Sleep on lid close, which works as expected). What happens if the game is minimized (Alt+Tab back to the desktop) when you close the lid? Also, you might want to look in the Event Viewer for various power events and see what the system thinks it's doing.
It has been a reported problem with the AMD Radeon driver (you have a Radeon HD 7450M), not being able to wake from sleep in Win8 in certain situations. You may try the official Catalyst 13.1 driver from AMD,
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalystSoftwareSuiteVersion131.aspx
Failing that, you can try the "official" 13.3 Beta3 driver,
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst13-3WINBetaDriver.aspx
Failing THAT, you can further try the "unofficial" 13.4 beta driver, which is latest as of today,

Hey every one! So I have a question that I havn't been able to find an answer too. This pertains to at least the two samsung devices that I have. One is the tab 8 sm-t290 and the other is the xcover pro that walmart started giving their employees. So the issue is a delay or lag in the screen tap after the devices come out of the lock screen or after they have sat there for a moment. It's like you wake it up and start taping and a couple of seconds later it will start registering all the taps or in game, I stop for a minute to read dialog and I have to tap couple times to get it going. At first I thought it was just because of the lower grade tablet but then I got the xcover pro from walmart (sposively a $500 phone a year ago) and it has the same issue.
So I assume this is by design? Is there a fix for it or a setting that I'm missing to make it snappier? The only thing I found that helped was after rooting the tablet I played with the governor and set the cpu frequency to max using termux. I installed a version of linage os that didnt have gapps installed and it was lightning fast, but when I installed one with gapps on it, I believe the issue was creeping back but I can't verify that at the moment. This is mostly just annoying and has caused me to quit using the devices in favor of more predictible ones. Any help would be appreciated!
