Hi all,
I've had my Transformer now for about a week and while I first had some minor issues, I dealt with most of them by making a factory reset, although I can't get rid of this one. When browsing webpages it happends once in a while that I all of a sudden get the cannot view page message. The page itself doesnt matter, nor does restarting the browser. If I restart the transformer or reconnect to my network, the problem is resolved.
I've checked for updates but I'm already up-to-date (3.1), I've tried different Wi-Fi's, but the problem still persists. Does anyone know what could cause this? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Marthax
Doesn't anyone have any ideas?
As a side note, I can also say that the Wi-Fi seems to be shutting down everytime I close the screen. This can be resolved by rebooting the connection, but it's pretty annoying. I'm guessing that this is a bug that will get resolved by an update soon?
You can adjust the wifi disconnection policy in the settings under wifi and networks and then wifi settings. You can set it to not disconnect. It is set up as standard to disconnect when you switch off the unit to standby to conserve power. Hope this helps.
As far as the browser crashing which has been widely reported you can install opera from the market which has good flash support and has no lag when typing. I would also give thumb keypad a go from the market it is an excellent alternative to the stock keypad.

Had this issue in Opera Mobile the other day. The browser refused to load a page and just stuck like that. I think it might be a Flash issue as it was a Youtube page.
Thanks a bunch guys for the answers! Gonna give it a try.

The title says it all. This is a survey to gauge the magnitude of the problem among the early adopters of Touch HD.
Please cast your vote only after you have AT LEAST 1 WEEK of experience using the device.
Thanks and cheers.
Mine hangs quite often, when typing SMS very fast. Also it hangs constantly, when browsing in landscape mode with opera. Very, very annoying.

Tried hard reset? Tried reflashing the ROM? Tried getting a replacement?
Mine hangs often but I can live with it as it is my secondary device and I don't use it much.
Mine hangs occasionally but i found most of the times was "Active Sync" fault, simply close it and it stops hanging
So far, more than 50% of you are saying it never hang even once. This is amazing! I had never thought in my widest dream that it is so good.
I've mine since the 5th of November... so it's about 3 weeks today... and I’ve already forgotten where is the Soft Reset button...
I think that you should include in the poll, another option, something like the 2nd and 3rd options, but that it bothers us.
Since we paid a lot of money for HD and it does not work as it should, it is really annoying and it bothers us.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortuntely, posters are not able to make this change. Can our moderator help?
Never
I clicked 'never hangs'.
Strictly not true. Have found that if CorePlayer is open, and i try to manually switch off, it won't. Subsequent attempts also fail (even after closing CP), and the only fix is to press the power button a few seconds and turn off. (i guess this is one 'below' a soft-reset but dunno).
Also strange is that if it auto-shuts down with CP open, generally it turns off, but when turned on CorePlayer has no video, and must be closed and opened to fix.
i guess the 2 issues are related to Coreplayer's incomplete Qtv driver - and will be soon fixed.
Else has never hung (2 weeks use) which is brilliant compared to my last PDA (ipaq) - tho' it was often the fingerprint reader that hung. btw i would pay more for the HD with biometric security. i think this is needed, given the amount/type of data most people have on their devices it should nearly be illegal to make 'em without .
I've select never, however I've had a couple of application issues... 1 with network settings and the other with a 3rd party application which both caused application crashes.
How are you defining a hang? WinMo crash screen (application dies) or device becomes unusable and requires a soft reset? My phone has never crashed that bad I've never had to reset it.

Freezes. Not responding to user action, or so slow and unuseable that it requires a soft reset.
So far, one out of four are reporting that freezing occurs frequently, but more than 90% of us are not bothered by this. Any more vote?
Interesting poll!
But i have to mention, i'm absolutly sure the freezing problem is on every HD. It's just a question of the installed software, the running applications and their kind of use.
If i play the whole day SPB sudoku i have not to report any freezings and i'm lucky. But the HD turns me crazy while writing the whole day SMS with permanent freezes.
Just a joke!
surely all these freezing problems will be fixed once we get cooked roms?

On my Athena, the freezing problem largely disappeared with ROM updates from HTC, but the cooked ROM were far more stable.
So, I believe the same will happen here.
I've had mine for a week now and get regular freezes - mostly when using opera and particularly with opera in landscape mode. Also get freezes when typeing emails although these usually sort themselves out if I'm prepared to wait a while. Every now and again it seems like the wireless connection stops working (i.e. the progress bar for loading a page freezes and won't load any further although all the other apps seem to be ok) - soft reset seems to solve each time.
The most annoying problem for me though at the moment is that I have to close all applications before connecting to my laptop via usb or the running apps just crash as soon as it connects - again probably an activesync issue I guess.
I have never used a cooked rom before but you guys seem to swear by them so hopefully one will come out which sorts these issues - or maybe HTC will post an update.

Have you tried Netfront browser to see if that works better?
potential Freezing solution-worked for me
Don't laugh......this has worked for me. Go into Settings-systems-screen-clear type-uncheck enable clear type
I also have no aftermarket keyboard loaded-just using what came with device....no more freezing during SMS.
I cant get the auto name feature to dump into the SMS or email field when I type the name though

For those of you who became so frustrated with the freeze and voted the last option, could you all try out this solution and see if it work?
Ever since I installed the Wifi based TW ROM I have had issues with the wifi stopping. The issue continues with the official rom (with root and deoxed). It is set to be on in software but says disconnected. If I reboot device it works fine again.
Anyone else have this issue? I am very close to going back to stock even though I like the new way of doing notifications.
Same problem here. Simple way to solve it to enable and disable Airplane Mode... But yeah.. its really annoying. So any fix would be very helpful.
I've had the same problem recently. Did either of you install the free wifi server app that the Amazon store offered a day or two ago? That's when it seemed to start so I just removed it so see if that fixes my issue... here's hoping!
Same problem here, but it just started the day before yesterday. I've had Touchwiz since a day or two after I bought the device (almost two weeks). Hadn't thought to toggle airplane mode, thanks for that tip. Beats power cycling every morning.

I had similar issue with the stock Galaxy rom. Since the TouchWhiz update however, it has been running extremely well.
So after uninstalling the WiFi File Explorer Pro my WiFi has worked fine without any connection issues. Just like before and after TW. I also had a weird issue that wouldn't recognize finger presses on the lockscreen after waking up once every 10 to 20 times.
If you installed this app or something similar it might be worth a shot to remove it.
Really weird, doesn't seem to happen when the tablet is stressed or something. On the other hand happened more often with heavy memory stuff like big pdf's and when i live youtube videos loading, maybe I have an issue with the 2 gig's of ram? it's there any way i can test that?
Sometimes the tablet isn't doing anything an restarts. Like when the home screen is blocked. Anyone else had this problems?

I would suggest you try flashing the nexus 10 factory restore image and see if that fixes things. If it's still randomly rebooting I'd send it in for a replacement.

Got some of these too. One of these was really freaking, I had to force a reboot. I definitely think it's software

i have also problems. Sometimes when i usw Chrome, the Browser don't react and then the screen goes black and i have to push the button on top for five seconds to reboot my nexus. Had this problem three times. I,m hoping for a fix...
Happened to me twice already! Wtf

Guys, I think found a pattern: Each time I get a reboot seems to be related to the wifi connection, like if the wifi freezes the tablet. Pay atention to the wifi settings when you get reboot / restart the tablet it's like searching the wifi connection like crazy, but, if you reboot normally the wifi it's already connected. Seems like a clue to me.
I played like 4 hours yesterday Chaos Rings. Seems like a really advanced game to me, so the stressing test is passed. It's not related to stress IMHO.
I've been getting random reboots too. Took several attempts to get all the way through setup right after taking it out of the box. At first I thought maybe I just hadn't given it enough time to acclimate to ambient temperature or something, but problem has persisted even after flashing the factory image via fastboot. Haven't noticed a correlation with wifi, but does seem to happen mostly when idle. Have also had a couple freezes and shutdowns, too.
Guess I'll be calling Google this morning... Argh.

I actually haven't had any reboots yet. I haven't stressed it with any games, but installed my normal apps and used it for web browsing/xda for a couple hours and no problems for me (yet...fingers crossed)
Called Google, and after being on hold for almost 1/2 hour (I'd imagine they're pretty swamped) explained the issue as well as what I've already done to try to resolve it (factory reset, fastboot recovery image flash) and they started the replacement process without any additional questions.
Just my luck, the first time in ages that I buy a device the day it comes out, I end up with a dud... Hopefully I get the replacement quickly!
I'm really nervous at this point. Mine is perfect aside from a piece of dust in the screen. Google is sending me a new one, but now I am afraid I will get one with more issues.
no more reboots here. But i think it's a software problem.
I have had two unexpected reboots. One was about halfway through ep. 1 of Planet Earth. I don't recall what I had running the other time.
I'm still running stock 4.2, unrooted.
Somebody postes useful info.

Mine rebooted then rebooted three times in a row before even getting in the desktop.
+1 Reboots
3 reboots in the past hour! Location svcs disabled.
Sometimes under load (gaming), other times just random.
I have Wi-Fi problems with 4.3. Seems to disconnect and be sluggish at downloading. Anyone else?
Also seen some strange flickering sometimes in apps.

I'm having the same issue with the Wifi connection being dropped on both my Nexus 10 and Gnex with 4.3, both were Ok yesterday but have started acting up this afternoon
EDIT: Ok it seems the problem was with my router! Guess I should have checked that beforehand!
I have experienced something similar. Reported in this tread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384328
I have not noticed that I drop wifi but notice in Chrome (99% of table use is with Chrome) that sometime when I click a link, open a bookmark, or a direct URL that it sometimes just sits and spins for anywhere between 5 and 60 seconds. I never get a timeout and indication I have lost network but it takes forever. Its really random, some pages load extremely fast (few seconds) but sometimes those same urls load really really slow. Don't notice this on my phone (on wifi) or computers and never noticed it on my N10 with 4.2.2. I did a full wipe and installed the 4.2.2 image then accepted the OTA yesterday to see if that would fix it. I'm not sure yet. It seems better but I had a least 1 case where is was slow again last night. This could have been the website so I need some more time to determine if it's fixed...

Although early in the experience curve, on my system You Tube videos are constantly stopping and restarting, waiting for the stream. I rarely experienced that with 4.2.2 so am hoping it is a issue that resolves itself.
Interesting... I find that WiFi has improved on my Nexus 10. At home, my Nexus would drop the network connection periodically and then reconnect about 5 seconds later. So far on 4.3 I haven't seen this happen.
I have no problem with WiFi on 4.3
I've had WIFI issues for as long as I've owned my N10. It just recently stopped working (couldn't reply in hangouts) so I turned off WIFI. When I turned it back on, it would just say authentication error. I had to reboot the N10 to get it to reconnect.

I noticed the ytube issue too. I changed from auto to 2.4ghz under advanced and so far seems better but not sure yet..
Well no luck with 2.4Ghz. The issue is very sporadic, sometimes everything works great and but then all of a sudden Chrome takes forever to access a new url. I have determined it's not Chrome, it's just that is what I mostly use on my tablet. I have seen this several times in Youtube and so when this happend i grab my phone (on wifi) to see if it could be network related but everything works flawlessly on my phone. I started doing some speeds tests to help troubleshoot this issue and the wifi performance is across the board whereas it's very consistent on my phone wifi. When I had one of these delays last night I immediately switched over to my speedtest.net app and it reported that it could not access the internet! My wifi signal indicator never indicates that I have lost wifi. Definitely something strange going on here. I have already factory wiped my tablet twice (originally going to 4.3 and after to troubleshoot this issue) and it never happened on 4.2.2 or on my Phone wifi there had got to be an issue with Wifi on 4.3. Just wonder why more people are not having issues. I might try swapping out my WAP but considering all worked great on 4.2.2 and it currently works fine on my phone wifi that would frustrating if it turns out to be my wifi.

Followup: The YouTube slowdown continued and after a few hours the internet connection became so slow that it would take several minutes to load a single web page. My internet connection on my Mac acted normally during this time. In the end I could not even get text pages to load in the XDA app. After rebooting several times, cleaning caches, turning wifi off and on, cycling thru the wifi advanced options and flashing the Monkey kernel I finally gave up and restored a Rootbox nandroid backup. My roadmap to the 4.3 install was: formatting all memory (including data/media), restoring my rooted stock 4.2.2 nandroid backup, and then fastbooting the JWR66V from JDQ39 OTA zip file. I then re-rooted by installing Chainfire's Update-SuperSu-v1.43.zip. I have no idea what I did wrong with the installation but will wait with 4.3 until updated 4.3 custom roms become available. Currently I am very satisfied with Rootbox so waiting is not an issue.
Has anyone with those problems tried to turn on/off WiFi optimizations in advanced WiFi settings?

Yes, tried that and it didn't help. I'm now torn between going back to 4.2.2 or staying on 4.3 cause I just picked up a Miracast adapter... Man i hate it when they create new bugs with things that had no issues in the first place!
I figured out that my laptop makes the wifi on my nexus VERY slow.

Hi guys, just received my HD8 2017 version 5.4.0.0, i installed Google Play Services and of course, Google Play Store.
The system in pretty smooth and everything is working fine except for browsing: for some reason, on some websites it takes ages to load and sometime it won't load completely.
The fun fact is that i've got this problem with Silk but also with Google Chrome or Firefox.
I suspect the problem is somehow related to hardware acceleration but i might be wrong.
Is someone else experiencing that same issue?
Update
Appartently, the issue is somehow related to my wireless connection, i tried with another connection and the problem was no longer there.
The strange thing is that every other device in my house, android and windows, work just fine with any website.
I ran a speedtest(.net) on both my home wifi and my work wifi, which are both well above 50mbps connections, and seem to be capped at about 3.5mbps dl. When I switch to a mobile hotspot that I create with my GS7 Edge, I shoot up to about 35mbps. Any ideas as to why there would be a difference? Thanks!!
Yup, having the same issue. Would greatly appreciate any ideas as to why.
I'm using one and connections take what feels like 10 seconds to open. When I open a URL it takes that long before the page starts to open, then much longer before the images load. When Amazon pages update, there's a long delay as well. Seems to affect more than just the browser. It reminds me of what a connection with very high latency would feel like. I've tried resetting to factory to no avail.
UPDATE: @boom1995 gave me an idea to try out another connection. I fired up tethering on my phone and connected to that. It seems to have solved the problem...immediate page lots now. I guess there is something odd with the home wifi...even though my laptop works fine with the home wifi. Weird!
