Fixed screen on v1.09 vegas?

Hi all.
I changed my vega a week ago after the screen became unresponsive to multi touch on the right side. (Which pc world changed no problems, more than three months after purchase) I find that the screen responsiveness a LOT better.
I get no more sticky keys on the keyboard, which was the main problem with the vega. Multi touch seems a lot smoother now to, making google maps a lot better to use. Also there are no accidental presses while scrolling. Maybe they have changed the screen? Cant be software as i am running exactly the same as before.
The new one i got had flash pre-installed (v1.09 firmware), comes up at pc world as a different product as the one without flash pre-installed. So if you have to change yours, try to get one that has flash already on the device. (it will say on the label on the box)
Has anybody else had a similar experience after changing there vega?

Yes, had exactly the same here (mine was registering a single touch as a dual touch) replacement seems better than the first one ever was - in fact quality of the screen seems better in all respects - not sure whether this is just coloured by the relief of having the tablet back and working properly ...

If this is true, I'd consider the idea to ship my Vega to Advent. The double touch thing is maddening.

I've never had any touch issues with my 2 weeks old POV Mobii.. well on AC power there are some issues, mainly when moving homescreen icons because sometimes it thinks i dropped them when i really didn't.
It's definitely not unusable on AC though, much much better than what some of you seem to be experiencing.

I went to PC World last week to get my Vega swapped (screen problems) and they said it is not a Code 5 and will have to go for fixing. Personally I think they should swap it straight over considering the amount of Vegas with the same problem. I tested the one that was on display and you're right, it is slightly different and the screen looks better, and certainly didn't have this screen problem. I'm going back to the store again tomorrow to see if I can convince them to swap it. I don't want to have it fixed because in my opinion it's a manufacturing problem/issue.
Just out of curiosity, how have people here persuaded staff at the outlets to do a straight swap? This is my first dealings with PC World and it's not looking good.

I purchased mine online and returned it in-store. You are right they say its code 5, but there is a number they are supposed to phone to check if they can change it. Sounds like they are giving you the run around. Tell them they do not repair them they do straight swaps. So if you returned it by mail, all they would do is send you out a new one anyway. I used multi touch visualizer to demonstrate the product was faulty, and they were very helpful at the Gloucester store. Might also be worth checking online, to see if they have them in stock.
Also forgot to mention, since changing my vega. I can use the device with now with no screen problems with the device plugged into the ac. I would recommend anyone who has any of the screen problems to return there vegas for a replacement. You will not regret it

Good news! I managed to swap my faulty one for a good one. I went into the store this morning and explained the situation and this time I managed to convince them that they just need to swap it. They obviously checked with their support people who told them exactly what I kept telling them myself. Anyway, I'm just over the moon that I've finally got one where the screen taps don't stick. No I can begin to enjoy the device.
I have also noticed that the screen seems better on this replacement. Maybe Advent ironed out some screen issues, although its a shame they didn't do anything about the viewing angle. No worries as I'm still happy with it. Right....got to find myself a nice stand so I can use this as my music player.

Hi guys,
Great news u give me... I'm definitely getting my replaced.
Any thoughts on what are the key phrases u must tell them to get it replaced??
As English is not my first language any tips on dealing with it will be much appreciated.

Hi Budius
If you're returning it within the 28 days then they shouldn't query anything with you (that's your consumer right). If however like me you're over this period then get them to check with their support people, who will hopefully advise them that this is a straight replacement item. I even mentioned that I'd looked around on internet forums and there were many in the same position (implying that this is a manufacturing defect, is the device's only means operating and therefore should be replaced at no cost to the consumer) and all had their device replaced. Good luck and do let us know how you get on.

I'm just finishing some backups and flashing the original rom and will be on my way in a bit.
I checked and I'm within 28days, so should be straight forward.
I'll let u guys know when I'm back.

Hi guys
Yeah I changed it yesterday and as expected, as I was within 28 days, it was prettty hassle free.
I just showed the corners not showing properly and the keyboard repeating like crazy.
The new one I could notice the plastic material on the back a bit different, and for sure it is a different screen,somehow nicer.
I couldn't figure out why adb doesn't want to work in my girls crap old PC, so no clockwork recovery, but testing just the keyboard, there's definitely an improvement.
Cheers

Budius; you can flash CWM without a computer if you get a root-capable file manager and terminal app.
move the files(instead of pushing them) to /data/local/ Then you just remove "adb shell" from the two shell commands and type them into the terminal. Done!
why? - adb shell just runs your commands through the android terminal, so "adb shell XYZ" on your computer is exactly the same as running only "XYZ" in the terminal

I just got a POV tablet (Vega clone) and multi-touch works fine. The viewing angles arent so great which i guess is normal ^^
The tablet did not have flash so its not so recent, but probably not so old either.

When you changed it, did it have flash on it? (v1.09)
As i said in the first post it appears the ones with flash are fixed.

Hmm, thats odd. maybe its after the v1.09 update they fixed it. My vega is far better now. Bad luck.

Hi
I ordered my vega from ebay and i am waiting for it. The seller said that he bought on 22 February. Is the "fixed" version or the old one? How can i find out which version is?

Hi There.
Others have said the plastic on the back is different but i have had mine in a case. So i cant remember what the old one was like. The biggest difference i have seen is with the keyboard. If you get sticky keys you have the old model. As the device was purchased after the v1.09 firmware, there is a good chance you have the newer model. If the device is in the original box it will have a label, if that says it has flash pre installed, the chances are you have the newer model.
Good luck

Replacement evo

My wife's evo has some hardware issues with the camera. It is rooted, would you all recommend unrooting if going for a replacement?
EDIT:
Anything else to clean up other than unrooting, and removing root only apps and .apks? Do they really go digging for any related files?

Iv ran into this problem in the summer. My charger port was a little funky and non stop went into car mode. i was rooted and at the time was not able to unroot it. I asked for a replacement and when i had to send it in i did EVERYthing possiable so they wouldnt be able to even turn it on to see its rooted lol.
i cracked the screen badly.
shoved a screwdriver into the charger port so they couldnt charge it.
messed up the battery charging cells so no battery could power it on.

Yeah i went a little overkill but i was not able to unroot at all because my phone would not connect to any PC. It was the only other way lol! it worked though!

This question has probably been asked at least 50 times on here. The general consensus is that most sprint stores won't care if you are rooted, as long as you are on a stock rom. However, it is very possible they could flag your device and void your warranty. Since unrooting and re-rooting only takes 5 minutes, just do it to be safe.

The second part of my question is more my interest. I am aware of the general consensus.

If you're gonna unroot (which I've never found necessary, after numerous screen and camera and speaker and bezel replacements), and remove any root related app, I'm not sure what more you could do, or what you're asking.
sent from AOKP heaven

The reason I say yes is because it's really hit or miss, it depends on the employee who is taking care of you. There are many people who've had success without unrooting and plenty who haven't.
I'm just a better safe than sorry type of guy. Rooting and unrooting only take a couple minutes anyway. Also there are enough refurb evos that most stores will take in your phone for repair and have you pick up a refurb the next day while your phone gets sent off to be repaired for the next person.
But if you plan on not unrooting then I would suggest a stock rooted rom without any root related apps and also a cleared SD card. I've heard a few stories of being turned down for repair for root related material on the SD card even after they unrooted lol.

New Asus TF300T Owner: What to do?

Hi everyone,
I've just bought 2 new TF300Ts for the children. But what should I do first before handling them over to the kids?
Should I uninstalled all the apps/bloatwares that come with the tablet? Should I root the system and install a new OS?
When I first got my Samsung Galaxy phone, I rooted it and install Cognition. Whenever we get a new laptop/desktop, first thing I do is to go into Control Panel and uninstalled a bunch of apps. Install AVG antivirus, Malwarebytes anti-malware, etc.
I am looking to make the tablets clean, efficient, and fast before giving them to the children.
Thanks,

Personally, I just got mine the other day and flashed TWRP, then ParanoidAndroid (didn't bother rooting because flashing a rooted ROM takes care of that), then flashed the Untermensh overclocked kernel that's provided in the OP of the ROM thread. Keep in mind that there are many settings in that ROM and a lot that can be messed up. If the children are old enough to understand that, I would definitely recommend going the route that I did. With or without the overclocked kernel, this is a great ROM and a lot of fun to play around with. :good:
Everything that I needed was found here in this forum.
Good luck with your decision.

The children are 6 and 8. Definitely a little young to be messing around with settings.
They would be using the tablets mainly for games, movies, music, etc.

That's a good idea. With kids messing around. It's probably better to leave the tablet alone with the warranty.
But at the same time, I want to make it a little quicker and leaner.

i'd leave them stock too, for the warranty. maybe put a gumdrop case over them too, as they have a good fall protection and a screen protector too. this is what i use, but its mainly for work, indoor and outdoor...

If you're planning to just let your kids use the tablet, then leave it stock for warranty purposes. You're going to want to leave the warranty intact trust me.

I agree. I would most definitely leave the tablets stock with the warranty intact. A lot of damage can be done to a rooted device if the user doesn't know what they are doing. Hmmmm, come to think of it, damage can be done in the hands of the experienced too. LOL
EDIT:
The Gumdrop case that Buckmam suggested is a very good idea too. :good:

the kids could expose some of those defects. from what I understand, once you root it/unlock it, Asus has the right to void the entire warranty, even manufacturing defects.

Also, there is a lot of damage that can be done internally when a device has been rioted. Essential files can.be mistakenly removed. Etc,etc. The worst thing.that can happen is the device ends up bricked. Once the bootloader has been unlocked , there is no sending it back to.the factory. I think the only thing Asus will still cover is MB failure.

I hope we are allowed to post links to places like Ebay. If we're not, I'm sure the Mods will let me know.
Here is just a simple rubber case like I purchased on Ebay. It is by no means a Gum-Drop case but it'll do for me. This is just a little something for me to use around the house or when I'm in the car on a road trip.

This is a combo similar to the one I bought. I just wanted something to get me by until I purchase the keyboard/dock. I plan on getting it within the month and will by a true leather case then that will accommodate both the pad and the dock. The case I bought is not 100% leather but it's decent quality. Both the screen protector and stylus are too. I'm very happy with it and the price.

My tablet came with 4.1 on it and I used the bootloader unlocker that Asus provides. If you are on JellyBean, you must first unlock the bootloader before flashing recovery and rooting or it will not work.
As for TWRP. I installed SDK with adb and fastboot. I used fastboot to flash TWRP. Here is the link to the .blob files I used.
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/97
These are the commands I used once in fastboot:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

I just wanted to add that I am running the ParanoidAndroid ROM with the Untermensch kernel and it is running flawlessly. I've had it up to 1.6GHz and it's as stable as can be. No issues whatsoever to report.

Just wanted to add that the rubber case came today and it's what I expected. Just a simple rubber case that will help keep the back from getting scratched up. It will help if the tablet is ever dropped but not much. If you think there's a chance you'll drop your tablet, don't even bother with the one I bought. Get a Gum-Drop.

2. Craigslist if you want to risk getting robbed.
3. Give to niece/nephew if you have them as a christmas present.
4. Keep it and wait 20 years until it becomes a collectors item, then sell it for bookoo bucks!!
5. Learn to develop games/apps with it.
6. Use it as a coaster.

I only suggest using the old one to dev on just in case something goes completely wrong and it gets ruined. I don't know much about android development, so I don't know if its even possible to brick the N7, but just as a cautionary measure, I would rather use an older device than a brand new one JUST IN CASE.

In the same boat as you, have no clue about development, was just curious. But now that I too have an old nexus lying around maybe I'll look into it!

Oh, it's possible. Believe you me, you can do it. It's just a bit harder to kill a Nexus device in most situations.
I can confirm it makes a great coaster. I'm starting to lose interest in flashing new ROMs every few months, but I may repurpose my Nexus 7 into a HUD unit of sorts to mount over my desk.

I recently sold mine...When I first purchased it I loved it! I rooted and installed Koshu's rom which made it much faster. I used it for taking notes in college and at work (Comp Sci, Software Development). When the development of the rom stopped I tried to look into ways of building an ASOP rom for myself but no luck . Anyway I ended up selling it because it was taking up space and the Nexus 9 looked like a really nice upgrade. Currently waiting for it to be delivered.

I sold it on Amazon for about $170 ish USD with all the accessories (cables, dock, and a case). After the fees I got about $140 USD. I really just wanted to get rid of it.

I recently sold mine...When I first purchased it I loved it! I rooted and installed Koshu's rom which made it much faster. I used it for taking notes in college and at work (Comp Sci, Software Development). When the development of the rom stopped I tried to look into ways of building an ASOP rom for myself but no luck . Anyway I ended up selling it because it was taking up space and the Nexus 9 looked like a really nice upgrade. Currently waiting for it to be delivered.

Oh, alright, thanks. I'll check it out. I'm not sure if I'll buy a different tablet after this but not sure what to do with this one is all.

Just wondering what you guys are using it for/ what you're running on it. It's been on my shelf collecting some dust and I'm not sure whether to sell it off or use it for something. There is some functionality I like on it such as the HDMI port and the USB port and other things but I'm not really sure what to do with it. Just wanted to know what everyone else was doing.

The TPT still serves me well as a scratch pad, a sketchbook and a media consumption device. I also have a 64GB SD card that stores all of drafts, code, frequently read books and assessed data. It thus can be conveniently switched between my work laptop and the TPT w/o meddling with the bloody cables.
Do I want to upgrade? Of course. However I'm still waiting for a decent sub £250 Windows tablet with digitizer and long battery life for the upgrade to be worthwhile. None found so far so the TPT will still be my companion for a little while.
