Flickering along the left edge of the screen.

[lifyre]

I didn't notice a thread about this here yet. The only information we have is that is widespread, goes away on reboot, seems to change when the screen is changed, and the lines do not seem to show up in screenshots.

For those that have been fortunate to not see this yet on a number of tf300's (including at least one review unit) regularly spaced lines appear along the left side and there does not seem to be a consistent cause either in hardware or software.

I've had it, but primarily when docked. Un-dock and it immediately disappears for me....so far.

I had it for about 5 minutes un docked but restarted and it went way. Haven't had it since and it was only on the 17 firmware

Mine goes away on reboot as well. I've had it on .26 firmware. I've never had mine in a dock. It's not very often but I've seen it 3 or 4 times since I got it last week.

Yep that doesn't get the full effect but I did notice the twitching along the entire bottom bar.

I'm on the .26 firmware, and I just got the flickering. It's strange. Is this a cause for concern? Would it be an overreaction to return the tablet? Would it matter if this affects all units?

I also had this on both .17 and .26 after update. No dock used.

I have this same issue on my TF300. Thinking it was hardware failure, I returned mine (to Best Buy), and the replacement is also doing the same thing.

Both have also done a few related glitches. Namely, the mouse cursor while docked has become a corrupt square, and the soft keys/notification area will move up and down a couple pixels randomly, which is very disturbing.

As others have noted, this goes away with a reboot. I used the Titanium Backup widget to make a shortcut to do that faster.


I'm starting to wonder if this isn't some kind of app incompatibility. So far, I've noticed that the app "2X Client" (which I use for Remote Desktop) makes it much worse much faster. And, some things don't seem to trigger it at all. My TF300 was playing Pandora with the screen off for 7 hours today and it was fine.

Same problem here.
I only started seeing it while on .26.
Mine is rooted and I`m using the 300 mostly docked, so it starts when docked but undocking doesn't make it go away.

A reboot does solve the problem.
Yesterday I installed task killer, in order to be able to kill an app that could have started it.

To me it looks like something that could be memory related.

i think its probably software related. hopefully they will have a fix with the next upgrade firmwire. it only happens once in a great while. i thought i had a defective unit but i guess its not just me.

I started getting the same issues with the up/down twitching and the line of bars on the left side of the screen. I didn't find this forum until today but already returned to Amazon for an exchange. New one should be here tomorrow. So was either of these really an issue seen with the Prime before and fixed by firmware update. BTW, never used the keyboard dock with mine.

you can always return it to asus 6 months later and get a new tablet if it is really messed up but i guess then you can't really root or put custom rom on it.

 

[luciano.chavez]

Of course. It would be nice to root it though. I was running the Nova Pro Launcher and ICS itself seemed fine enough.

I forgot to ask if anyone knows if ASUS is aware of the twitching and flickering issues and is working on a fix for it.

 

[rj7766]

Just to add.. I saw this once on mine ... am on .26
got black lines on the sides and bar at bottom was moving .... widgets on home screen were doing the same thing
undocked and it stopped

I should probably mention that I don't even own a dock.

Had this too on my brand new 300 with 17. Rebooted, havent seen it since. (knock on wood)

 

[jblah]

did any of you utilize a "screenshare" or a "streaming" tool to your desktop?

i did utilize Asus's built in splashtop streaming software with my desktop prior to this happening. also utilized team viewer

 

[boomslang06]

i usually get this when i watch movies in my tf300, dont remember if its charging or not
