Anyone noticed this bug?
 

Hi there!

I noticed some time ago a bug that appear to happen regularly: if I connect the 770 such as an external USB disk *keeping the cover on*, it just won't show as an external unit.

Sliding the cover down to check why (sometimes it says it won't connect because of running programs, so that the swap can not be unmunted), the screen remains black, but the tablet is not turned off.

You have to keep the power button pressed to shut the tablet down (tough nothing seems to happen), then let it boot again.

It's not a matter of my PCs since it happens on two different computers, one with XP, the other with Linux ubuntu, on which the 770 connects regularly apart from when I do it with the cover on.

never happened to me.
the only reason my 770 was not detected when connected to my pc was when the unit was locked.
I first had to enter the security key then it ws immiatly detected.

but the screen staying black never happned to me.

Your 770's asleep with the cover on so it can't tell the PC it's connected... (I assume). Try setting it so it doesn't sleep with the cover on and then try. Otherwise maybe there's something in the OS that won't announce itself over USB when the cover switch is toggled.

That's why I use a swap partition instead of a swap file.

but that doesnt explain why his screen stays black after he removed the cover. or does it???

Hey, *you* wake up with a weird cable jammed up your butt and see if you spring into action normally. :)

LOL :D
Ok. I will never do this to my 770. ;)

Hedgecore: ROTFL!

I already have unflagged the sleep mode with the cover on :(

Anyway, nothing blocking, just mine curiosity. It's a matter of 2 minutes, after all.
