More frequent shutting off

HI:
After the update (not the 3.1 obviously) I have been experiencing more and more frequent shutting off of my tablet. No just when it charges 100% as many have reported, but also now with now real reason.
Anyone experiencing something similar?
Is this software related ( intalled apps by me) or software related by Honeycomb?
Hope 3.1 fixes this, hope 3.1 arrives sooooooon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I've experienced the same thing. I'll have my A500 in my bag for a couple of hours and when I pull it out it is off, not in standy. This never happened before the last update. Not a big problem because it doesn't happen in active use, but a minor annoyance to wait while it boots up.

Yeah, same issue here. It's honestly really annoying for me, because the 'instant-on' aspect is one of the big reasons I wanted to get a tablet for general use...

Solution to all ICS issues

When I upgrade to ICS, my tablet exhibited all issues everyone was complaining about.
1) Battery drain. - the culprit of this issue is GPS. The GPS was preventing tablet from going into deep sleep. I have disabled GPS but kept Google location service enabled and that fixed the deep sleep issue. Also there were some incomparable software which prevented deep sleep. XDA app was one of them.
2) Random reboots, shutdowns, and lag. - the culprit of these issues is software incompatible. All you have to do is perform full wipe and cold boot using recovery by pressing and holding power and volume down buttons. After reset, all issues are gone.
To troubleshoot use next tools.
1) CPUSpy - it will show of tablet goes into deep sleep.
2)Battery settings in the rom's system setting is helpful to see if the phone sleeps but will not show if it deep sleep.
3) BetterBatteryStates is very useful to see which process keeps tablet awake.

If it were that easy Asus wouldn't be working on a fix to push out to us. They have already confirmed there are issues.
My tablet didn't exhibit any of the reboot issues up until a few days ago. Which means even though your "solution " has seemed to help so far it could end up happening again later on

I have been running for 1d and 20 hours using tablet and still have 60% left. No reboots no lag runs smooth. Also there is an issue with GPS which keeps tablet from going into deep sleep and that is what Asus is working on. If you disable GPS and remove xda app that will solve your battery issue. Also xda might have fixed their app since then. Full wipe will fix other issues.

I understand and believe you. I'm saying that the amount of time you have without any issues is not long enough to be 100% certain all issues are gone.
That is why I stated that's I had NONE of the issues for a couple weeks then out of nowhere they started.
Tho I hope your solution works in the long run and helps others as well
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

I am just sharing my findings. I think GPS is the biggest contributed. Just disable it and see how the tablet runs.

If a full wipe was the solution, then you will not find so many threads about the reboot or other issues.
it is just pure luck, some did all the steps of full wipe, full reset, go to stock HC then stock ICS, in all ways some keep getting issues and some do not have any.....
and as it has been already mentioned above, the issues have been confirmed by asus and they are already working on a solution.

My experience: I've done a full wipe, installed few apps from scratch (no restore), disabled GPS and installed autoairplane app. Everything seemed ok, two days and one night in deep sleep with 8% of battery drain per day. The following morning the tablet was switched off with 0% of battery

Great that you have resolved the issues for your TF101 and thanks for sharing the steps you took you to get that far.
It's only a limited set of devices though (1) and a limited amount of time.
I still believe most TF101 ICS issues are related to drivers. Just like it was initially with the first Asus HC release. Updates will improve stability.

the culprit of these issues is software incompatible.

I agree, this is just a poor choice of words..and with the title of the thread, you are really just ginning up controversy here now as a thread of this nature has already been closed because of someone insisting that a full wipe solves reboot issues..I would have phrased it more scientifically correct by saying 'the culprit seemed to be software incompatibility', you could even throw in the obligatory 'to me' lol. When you state things with such certainty in a development and electronics forum where terminology and phrasing is very important you are misleading people (noobs and lurkers) who are then going to complain and whine about being misled (and possibly mess up their device in some cases). Safer to state your 'findings' in less certain terms IMO.
And as I already pointed out in another thread, in order to say anything equivocally about a solution to a common problem like random reboots you need to have tested and confirmed the proposed solution on tens and hundreds of units, which very few of us have access to to test with any clarity of results. So anyone *should* take users' proposed solutions with a grain of salt barring they are employed with Asus or Best Buy and could have done such testing. Other users have proposed build.prop fixes for example, only to realize they had reboots and didn't even notice. 1 day is not long n this timeframe- I have one once a week tops..but I still have them..lol

The only problem i had was the apps disappearing from the launcher whenever i exited an app. I thought i solved this by installing a new launcher. But it returned after a few days. I did a full wipe and installed apps from scratch. since then my tablet has been running smooth and fast. no issues. May be it's the apps we install that are causing the problems.

I think it is the graphics acceleration driver. Many games are not working to me, they just exist to launcher and in logcat i can see SIGSERVs because of openGL ( this is from memory, I don't have my tablet here right now).
We must wait until ASUS releases a fix.

I'll come in with another just wait and see like other folks have said. I did my ICS update with a full wipe and then only installed apps I felt comfortable with instead of just doing a full reinstall of everything. For days life seemed grand with everything working just right. Then I got a few reboots and now the constant media converter dying message. So be happy things are working well for you but be prepared for the errors to creep in.

I suffered from random reboots. Whenever my device went to deep sleep it could not come out of it. What I did to remedy this is to root and install set cpu. After installation, i changed my minimum freq to 312mhz and my max at 1ghz. So far, for about a week, i have not suffered any random reboots/freezes. Also, using cpu spy, it does go to deep sleep. I hope this helps.

You are *definitely* wrong on this one. There are numerous documented accounts of people having this problem even on stock, unrooted TF101 tablets that have been wiped both before and after the ICS update was applied, and have nothing or next-to-nothing reinstalled. I'm one such person.
A full wipe most definitely does NOT fix or prevent these problems.

It did for the OP and a vast number of other users. Doesn't work for everyone but it is a viable solution.

I originally suffered from horrible battery life after updating to ICS, but I took a page from the book of the Gnex when it comes to sudden horrible battery life. One of the biggest problems on the GNex with sudden battery drain a lot of the times had to do with Google Maps. I used CPU Spy and Better Battery Stats and sure enough, Google Maps was constantly running in the background, putting the tablet into a wakelock and most likely running the GPS. The tablet wouldn't even last half the day WITH the dock. Went to apps, uninstalled updates and reinstalled the most recent version and since then the battery life has been PHENOMENAL! I've got the tablet with dock and it'll go most of the week, if not all week before the dock starts running low.
Hope this helps others. Can't guarantee it'll fix your problems but it fixed mine.

This has been my fix from the start and have only had one self-inflicted random reboot and (Horndroid here is a nod for you) another reboot after I updated Google+. I reverted back to previous G+ build and all is back that way it was before.
If you'd like to read more about the kernel issue and how I solved it for myself, see here.

This is getting ridiculous...

Ok, random reboots are gone...now it's just sleep of death.
Every. Damn. Morning.
No kidding...every single day, the thing has shut itself off and drained it's battery completely..TABLET AND DOCK mind you, for about a week now. I can't set it down and close the lid..I feel like I'm using paul burton's Spark ROM. I am actually about to RMA this thing myself because of this......
It's getting very hot on recharge from completely dead, and it's done it so many times now I fear it's very likely to have damaged the life of my battery as an end-user..
Add to this..dust INSIDE my camera lens, dead pixels, and half-working microSD slot (the card has to be inserted JUST SO..in order to be recognized).
I want a new device..I'm done playing around with this defective toy, I want a real workhorse that I can depend on, I need it for my projects. Sadly, I have a SBK1 too...

Had only a few reboots a week on all ICS stock, Revolver, Revolution and CM9 roms. No battery drain. I do not have a dock.
Since I flashed CM9 Megatron a few weeks ago, I experienced no reboots at all, except a few lockups on Home Screen. Since Megatron 1.0.3 based on ICS 4.0.4 and the latest guevor kernel test13, it's running smooth as butter with great battery life and overclocked to 1.4GHz.

Does the battery drain like that when it is not docked?

With all those issues, you should RMA. Although when you get the device back it will probably still have sleep of death (and maybe random reboots).

In another thread, it was mentioned that the ICS update defaults the TF101 to have the setting "stay awake - screen will never sleep while charging" enabled, no matter whether it looks like there's a checkmark on that setting or not. When the tablet is docked, it is considered as "charging" and therefore it will stay awake and drain the tablet battery and the dock battery. The fix is to manually toggle the checkmark on and off on that setting, whether there looks like there is a checkmark there or not. That's why I asked whether or not the battery drains when undocked.

Strangely I didn't get a second update yet

The 'fix' was reported to be simply unchecking and checking the box (it's toggle is set to on, but the actual feature is disabled until you do this). I had previously done this, and forgotten about it..but I will go check again, though I am pretty sure that my CWM backup was made well after my settings were adjusted like this, and the backup I restored and am using now did not previously crash like this.
EDIT: Also, once the dock is drained to 3% it is supposed to stop 'charging' so it *should* not result in draining the tablet's battery completely (from full charge on both units however, with screen off, awake or asleep, I would think I could get more than 8-10 hours battery life without draining both batteries to 0%..yes, 0%. This is what scares me that the batteries have been damaged..after 5-8 times that it has overdischarged now..)

Experiencing the exact same issues here
SODs and complete battery drain when supposedly off. My tab is also permanently connected to keyboard.
Getting very frustrated now.
I've using Revolver ROMs for a long time now and these issues only occured after flashing the ICS betas. It had gotten so bad that I went back to Honeycomb but the SODs and battery drain persisted even then.
Tonight I flashed the newly released Revolver RC1 rom in hope that the issues would be fixed but unfortunately I've had a random reboot already
Not sure where to go now as the stock Asus rom has these issues as well I believe. iPad anyone?
Rant over and many thanks to all the devs for their unselfish work.
Jake

Well, my screen keeps coming on. That seems to be the problem. At random while docked, it just comes on. I look at the dock when it's closed and see it's on..so I open it and manually turn it off (the screen not the device) and leave it open..a few minutes later, there it is again, on..for no reason.
This is my likely culprit, and it's really pissing me off. I am on a stock ROM, so unless this is guevor's kernel's fault, it's Asus', I'm leaning towards Asus.
However judging from some of the responses, it would seem users are having this without using guevor's kernel..so there goes that option.
Can anyone confirm they are getting this issue with the stock kernel?

Funny...
Came here to consider rooting my tablet to fix similar issues, and you all are having the same issues. I am NOT rooted, tablet keeps going into some sort of "deep sleep" (that's what a developer friend called it). Sometimes the battery is draining to nothing, sometimes not. Although, once it goes into this sleep mode, it's near impossible to get back out and always requires a reboot.
PLUS the constant rebooting for no reason, right in the middle of work. This thing's been super buggy since the ICS update, ASUS is absolutely no help (worst service I've experienced in years)...wish I had never installed it. NOTHING about the update is worth all this headache...
According to my research, it's a known issue...meaning ASUS knows it's a problem and are supposedly working on it. I kept reading about another OTA update that was supposed to fix some of these issues last week, but haven't seen anything yet.
Yet another notch in the "dump android" column

Not exactly a product-wide issue. For whatever reason, some Transformers, like mine, do not have the same problems or not nearly to the same extent. I have had 300+ hour uptimes (2 weeks) with this iteration of ICS, though, when it does go down, I suspect it might be when I choose to use Flash in a browser. I haven't really looked into it. You are also mixing up issues. This particular issue is with dock owners. Toggling the "stay awake" setting may or may not help in this case. I don't have a dock, so I don't know. Some say it did help.
The issue you are describing is separate and has a workaround and a possible fix posted.
Workaround: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567795
Possible fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518552
ASUS might have already resolved the problem in their TF101G firmware, but I don't know why they haven't released a patch yet for TF101.
As many have pointed out in other threads, it's not possible to extrapolate how many are affected by your issue because this is a support forum that pops up high in the Google rankings. Many people end up here when looking for support for problems. Therefore the population here is naturally going to be disproportionately high in people having problems. I myself ended up on XDA because of an issue with the Lenovo K1 tablet.

So why not just install the wake lock app and stop the aggravation? It is a 100% rock solid fix, or workaround for now. Battery life hardly suffers also.

Nexus 10 Rebooting

This was happening on mine as well. It stopped after I updated the device, so I think it might be a software issue.

Mine has stopped rebooting, but it still turns itself off after a few minutes of being asleep. Any solutions? Or should I consider a return?

4.2 definitely needs an update. Freezing everywhere, gesture typing is sluggish, reboots and lock-ups.....was not expecting this :/

Honestly, I've not experienced any of this. I'm only playing a few games and browsing mostly though so maybe I'm not doing something that triggers it. One of the N7's I bought did that, and I returned it. If you reflash the stock image and clear data and it still does this I would suggest getting a return. I've had no real software problems with mine.

Man, you all have me really worried. My wife bought me a n10, and it's sitting in the closet because it's a christmas present. If it's having software issues, that's one thing....hardware issues are a whole other animal..I need to make sure the hardware isn't bad before I miss out on the return period.

I had similar issues with the first one I received. CONSTANT reboots, occasional freezes and shutdowns. Returned it for a new one, which I received today, and for what it is worth, I haven't noticed the same problems at all yet with the new unit. So, at least in my case, it does appear to have been a hardware issue...

Bluetooth won't turn on, no matter what! 4.2.2

I am on 4.2.2 and the bluetooth won't turn on. As soon as i click ON, it immediately goes back to OFF (in blink of an eye). Is it due to the well known wifi-bluetooth issue? It happened yesterday when wifi was off even. Restart is the only temporary cure as for now. Any suggestions?

Exactly. Although a restarts fixes the issue temporarily but it's pretty annoying as bluetooth is used daily and that too quite a lot of times in a day, sometimes. So constant restart really isn't a cure. Anyhow, I was wondering it's just me and this youtube user lol.. but now I know it's kind of a known issue and hopefully Google will fix it, since they know the issues with BT/WiFi etc. But I heard they fixed it in 4.2.2 however, we are still getting it which means the issue hasn't been resolved completely.
Edit: I was using Juice Defender Ultimate earlier and the issue started happening right after a few days of the said app's. installation. Googled a bit and got to know JDU is the culprit. So I uninstalled it on Saturday. But issue still persists.

Never had Juice Defender Ultimate installed on my phone,so thats definitely not the cause. However maybe another app is causing this ? Would be interesting if we could find out.

I hardly ever use the BT, but the only 2 times I needed it, it happened the same to me. Never used juicedefender, unlocked bootloader + root only.
It's not a big issue for me... but IT IS an annoying issue

I had this for the first time today. The only app I have that might effect it is Qualcomm Battery Guru.

Do you have frozen any service that might be linked to Bluetooth ?

Hmmm.. I uninstalled JDU after reading this thread:
http://feedback.latedroid.com/forum...ooth-cannot-be-turned-on-when-juicedefender-u
...but nothing really changed. So it definitely wasn't JDU.

Hmmmm..
Since a week I am facing another weird issue. I can't seem to transfer any files from or to my phone. Since Jpegs are of small size, they get transferred. But songs..videos..etc.. they just cant get transferred. For instance, a transfer will suddenly hang at..lets say...14% and will stay there for half a minute or so.. and then 1 file share unsuccessful will appear in notification. Out of around 10 to 15 tries, just once it transferred a 39 MB HD trailor.. otherwise it just doesn't transfer any thing.. Do you guys face this *hit too? What to do?:s

This Bluetooth not turning on issue is really annoying. Anyone has any news for it? No fix? Nothing?
I have to restarted my device several times in a day. And it extremely embarrassing when someone asks for a file transfer and you say him.. wait i need to restart the phone. BT isn't turning on

I asked a friend of mine, who has a N4, about this and he said it never happened to him. It seems that not all devices are affected with this bug ? Could it be a hardware thing ?

Only had it happen once during the last three weeks so the issue is quite rare. Also had to reboot to fix.
You can leave Bluetooth enabled though, it doesn't drain battery whilst inactive.

No. I don't use any battery saving app. I recently installed Battery Guru. But the issue was there even before installing it. The issue is there since the day I got my hands on the device. I seriously don't want to RMA as everything else is excellent in the device. Infact.. I seriously do not hear any buzzing sound from it.. even in a silent room. It was there in first few days but it was hardly audible. And now its gone. I have tried many times listening in a silent room but don't hear it anymore. So everything is perfect besides this BT bug I really really want a fix for it. No RMAing

The problem arises from the constant turning off and on of the bluetooth radio, as seen in cases such as the battery saving apps (Qualcomm Battery Guru, Juice Defender, etc.). I have the same problem happen when I automate the toggling of bluetooth using a Tasker created schedule. It is not limited to any particular app but has to do with a bug in the Android OS.
The official bug report is here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39688
You guys can star the issue to help raise awareness to Google so that they can fix it. For now, the only workaround that I have found is to just leave bluetooth on all the time.

Help!
Same happens to me. As soon as I switch bluetooth on it switches off. Rebooting doesn't work for me neither does doing a factory reset. Will this be fixed??

I am not having any issues with blue tooth and wifi
