Is there a way to set the dead zone ? My left stick keeps moving up and I just can't stop it. It's really annoying. Thanks
Does your Shield TV have a warranty?
The Shield 7.0 upgrade release notes say you'll be able to adjust the dead zones. We just have to wait for it.
Warranty ran out a while back. That's awesome Nvidia putting that in the update. I was think I had to do something crazy like hold the nvidia button , right trigger push up on the joystick hold my left foot up in the air and shake my right hand while hopping on my right foot to get to the setting. Thanks you. XDA has the best people.

I had the same problem. Only solution I found was to flash the OS using the official images, which requires a usb a to usb a cable.
Once I did that, wiped out bootloader and everything, the controller works fine.
I ended up taking apart the controller clean it with contact cleaner and it seems to be working fine now. Thanks everyone for all your help and ideas

Each time I dock my EEE PAD in the docking station I only have a 10% chance it will recognize the keyboard. Sometimes I get the keyboard only, sometime it recognizes the keyboard and the mouse (pad) but mostly it recognizes neither. Sometimes it says it is connected to the docking station and still doesn't recognize the keyboard but mostly it says it is not connected to the docking station after insertion.
I called ASUS support - they had me reset the transformer (Hold volume 'down' while hitting power) and also do the Factory Data Reset. Curiously while on the phone with them the keyboard just started generating 'd' keystrokes over and over! Finally they sent me instructions for updating the firmware, which I was to do myself. I did not research how to do this last step because I think it is completely unnecessary: the latest version is 8.4.4.5 and I already have that version. I called ASUS support back but they say their computers are down and call back tomorrow. However, the last thing he said was I will have to send it to their repair center in CA.
Basically, two questions: 1) Do you think I should download the firmware anyway? 2) Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I am not a genius but I would try reinstalling firmware. Maybe you got a bad firmware in your keyboard?
Fascinating is it not?
Not trying to be too simplistic but you might also make sure that the thing is really in there good too. The connection between my tablet and dock is pretty tough to get just right and the only way I really know for sure it's in there is to pull up on either side of the screen to make sure it's seated properly. I can imagine if one was more finicky then mine it might look like it's in there, latch slid and all, but still pop one side out if you tugged.
Just a thought based on my use.
I noticed the same thing...it's easy to think the dock is in correctly...it has to "click" and the little bar has to go ALL the way to the right side of the slot..otherwise it's not making 100% contact.
I had a broadly similar issue with mine. I eventually got the retailer to accept it back as faulty and ordered another [from a different supplier so it was from a different batch] and have had no issues with the new one... so far!
I am quite conscientious about docking the tablet solidly in the docking station. I use both hands (on each side of the tablet) and push firmly till I see the silver clasp pop completely over to the right. I have tried tugging it out afterward and neither side will budge upward.
Bottom-line is ASUS created an RMA # for me today. They want only the docking station, and not the tablet also. (My concern is what if the problem is the connector on the tablet?). One of the three main reasons I purchased ASUS was reliability, yet this is the first computer I have bought which failed out of the box! Anyway, it's nice to have prompt support and service. I called them 3 times and got through in less then 5 minutes all 3 times.

1.It can't hurt.
2.Nope, all is well here.
Need some help here. I "managed" to drench my tab. Yeah, I know - stoopid me. So what's done is done. Currently the tab's display in not working. I think I was able to power it up - white light on the power button but this stays on forever.
I'm going to return the tab. So here's the question - how would I go about doing a factory reset without actually logging in to the tab?
Thanks in advance.
Bang...
Yeah I really did a banged up job on the tab. LOL!!
Could try to salvage it first and restore and then return it. Odds are if you turned the power on after drenching it you messed it up badly so youre data is gone anyways.
First of all, you should not have tried to turn it on until it was dry. That can cause shorting.
Any time an electronic device gets wet, pull the battery as soon as possible.
Stick it in a bag of dry rice for a week or two (pulls the moisture out) before trying to power it on.
I have a friend who's phone went to the bottom of a lake 3 times. Came back from it all three.

Indeed. NEVER turn on a wet electronic device. Especially in case where it's got as heavy-duty battery as a tablet or laptop has.
+1 For the rice trick. Silica works as well (the stuff that comes with a new pair of shoes).
+1,000,000 for never ever turning on a moist device! Water conducts electricity, so as entropyiv said, you probably shorted it out.
I'm also thinking that returning the tablet isn't going to work. They'll know immediately that it got wet, and that's a pretty straight forward warranty killer!
Good luck, and let us know the outcome!
most stores dont check for water damage. If you biught it at target youre in luck. When i worked there we were liniant if you had a reciept.
This is why I bought the accidental warranty...
I ride a motorcycle and have gotten radios and such wet in the past. I make sure and turn them off immediately, remove power and then once I'm home I leave them in the hot garage for a few days and I've never had a one that didn't come back to life.
Thanks...
for your responses. I'll try going the usb route to get rid of all my personal data off the tab. Once again, thank you!
The best advice I could give you as a former Compaq Computers Engineer is to take the back cover off, disconnect the battery if you can and unplug anything back there that you can. Leave the tablet in a relatively warm room for 24 hrs, reconnect everything and 9 times out of 10 it will work again. I'm not sure if you permanently ruined it trying to immediately trying to turn it on, but try this advise and see if it will work for you.
Good luck!

Wish I had the accidental on mine, i'm in the same boat. Only I cant do much with it.
BTW, anyone want a perfectly good iconia battery?

There was a guy with a busted screen.another withbdamaged case.part it out and you can get most of your money back.
Look for other damaged and droped unit threads
Good luck to you both
If it's warrantied, I would put the charger in it and toss it back in water to make sure it's fried good. Anything so it doesn't appear to power-up.
Or... if it had Recovery loaded, try to work through the menus for wiping before adding a mod. Touch screen isn't used.
What happened ? I only ask because the case seems like it would hold water back for at least a couple seconds, enough to get it out without the components getting wet.
Hello and thanks once again to everyone who'd responded.
I left the tab with some silicon gelica thing in a bag in a hot room for two days. Powered up the tab, looked like it was going to work - e.g. acer logo came up, as well as the android logo. I was feeling optimistic that the tab may just be fine. But alas, the LCD just won't work. I got a screen that's constantly flickering, snow, etc. It sure looked like the TV from the movie Poltergeist. lol!!
At least I can boot this sucker up. Now to see if the HDMI port is working or not. If it does, then I can hook it up to my TV, plug in a USB hub for a mouse and keyboard...then I should be able to do a factory reset to clear my personal data. Keeping my fingers crossed that this will work. Worse case, my Win 7 PC should see the tab and maybe I can "format" that thing from there.
Don't worry, I am NOT returning this to any retailer...this unit was not "store bought"...it's an engineering sample that was on loan to me... ;-)
Hey guys,
So I've been loving the crap out of my nexus 4... that is, until a random stranger on a crowded subway knocked it out of my hands as I was taking it out of my pocket. So the front of the screen is messed up pretty bad glass-wise; the lcd works fine but the digitizer is messed up so I can't use the touchscreen at all.
I'm going to have to shell out on a new screen soon, but I'd like a workaround in the meantime. I figured if I could get a bluetooth mouse connected I could at least navigate around my phone, but of course I need to use the touchscreen to pair with the mouse. Or maybe not, that's why I'm posting.
Can it be done? Through adb or some other means, could I pair a bluetooth mouse without using the phone directly? The only method I could think of might be to pull the bluetooth address config file and insert the MAC address of the mouse into it to potentially trick the phone into thinking it had already paired with it. Does that make sense? Even if it does, I'm most likely going to need some guidance in figuring out how to actually pull it off.
Let me know if it can be done somehow, and thanks! :fingers-crossed:
should have knock the guy out and drop his phone...sound like a fair deal...eye for an eye
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Ha ha maybe I would've, but the station was so busy that I couldn't tell who bumped into me... It was on an inclined walkway so the phone actually slid away from me by a few feet, by the time I got it whoever did it was long gone

Use the play store webside to load a remote desktop app on it so you can take over it's screen (assuming those apps exist and it's not stuck at the PIN entry screen)
I haven't found any screen sharing/control apps that don't require me to use the phone to generate a code/url, but I'll keep looking
well I figured it out... for future reference you can use the input keyevent lines to navigate around the phone. It's a bit tedious but it's only until I connect it to a bluetooth mouse
so here is my story... my google nexus 10 got wet, and i dissasembled the whole thing, so it could dry up. when i was assembling it, i accidentally broke the Power & Volume flex cable, which is indeed needed to power up the device... I´ve been looking for the part on ebay, amazon.I found it in powermedicbook.com and rounded.com but it is out of stock. I´ve been looking also in my town for the part, but i can´t find it... I´m losing hopes,:crying: well is there a way to actually power up my device from my laptop ? maybe by plug it in and use some software.. jeeez I want to use my Nexus, i miss it:crying: any help will be greatly aprreciated.
Going out on a limb and saying no.
It'd have to be at the kernel level where you have a magnetic trigger to input the screen to wake but not if your device is powered off and unable to be powered on to install the kernel.
Hope you find a power button and try to stay away from areas where your tablet can be dropped in water?
Good luck.
Found one on ebay if it helps you.

Hello,
after a fall from the couch my zte axon 7 had the problem that the screen stayed dark / black. Otherwise it worked fine. After speaking to a local support mechanic I got this simple fix:
Just press the back and the front with a bit of pressure together. Do that left of the volume button. Now the screen should be working again.
In my case that was the solution. I share it here for visibility.
Have a great day!

probably the worst place for visibility. This is the Q&A section, people ask things here so it'll be buried in a matter of hours
I'm not sure where it should be posted, perhaps a moderator could help and turn it into a sticky somewhere if the information is not already there.
FWIW it is the same method I used to cure my half black screen, which appears to a fairly common affliction .
The connector comes partially apart and this "cure" is considerably easier, if successful, than the more obvious phone disassembly route.

Thank you. Same thing happened to me, that was the fix. I'd love to know what the heck it does by putting pressure on it. I should re-watch the tear down of the phone to see if something comes to mind, but it's weird :silly:
Anyway, once again, thank you! You saved my life.

not weird, the screen connector is right there lmao
It just pops off halfway so it's very normal to see axon7's with half of the screen being a static mess while the other half works fine
