Has anyone started getting the sleep of death since the touchwiz update? My tab at random times has a black screen and doesnt respond to the power button. If i hook it to my laptop it is detected. I have to hold down the power button for 20 seconds before it shuts off and turns back on. Any ideas?

Same here. It usually happens after I charge overnight

Hello
I want to share something that happens to my Iconia. When connected to wifi, if I let the tablet sleep for some time, after I press the power button to wake it up, the screen does not respond. The only way out is to reset by keeping the power button pressed. The funny thing is that the tab does not freeze, only the screen as before reseting it asks me if I want to turn it off.
This has happened twice. Has anyone had the same issue?

I've actually had that happen to me a couple times recently. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I'm beginning to wonder if it continues to happen if we might not get some file-system corruption at some point. ? I wonder if it's a particular app that might be causing it. I haven't tracked it down yet, but I don't believe it ever happened to me before I put juice defender on the other day.
Its a known problem. I have had two acers, and both exhibited this problem. I tried factory resets, there is no getting around it. Just hope Acer issues a fix.

Not sure if what I had was exactly the same thing. But my acer crashed twice this morning. completely unresponse. 1st time it was asleep and the screen came on by itself and stayed on the lock screen. but i couldn't unlock. 2nd time, i had just woken it up from sleep and checked for an update, then it froze.
Both times, i had to hold the power button down to turn off, but it didn't ask if i wanted to shut down.. it just waited about 5 secs then turned off.
This is the first time since I've had it (4 weeks) that this has happened.
I enabled the wifi to be turned off when the screen is turned off and this has fixed the screen being unresponsive when its turned on and I also don't see the screen randomly waking up.
Definitely there is something wrong with the wifi in the iconia although I don't see any signal drops

Yes, this problem is actually listed quite a few times in the general Iconia issues thread and I think in some other threads as well.
I've placed a WiFi-widget on my desktop so I can switch off WiFi before putting my tablet to sleep. Since I am doing it that way, it hasn't frozen any more.
Hello guys,
i noticed that after the 3.2 update the tablet will wake up by touching the touchpad, with the "MobileDock Battery saving mode" option on, but not by pressing the dock's keys.
I performed a factory reset yesterday but the issue seems to persist. i noticed that it wakes up also when the dock/tablet is opened.
I contacted asus UK tech support but they advised to do a factory reset...not of much help so far. I am going to try again later on but i was wondering if any of you has experienced the same. I am not sure this happened with 3.1, i am sure my unit didn't wake up by pressing the keys on 3.1 though.
I think it is related to this issue too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151788
Any ideas?
it's normal. If you wait 5 mins the tablet will go into deep sleep and the touchpad will not wake the device.
I to can wake my unit by swiping the trackpad, just left it about an hour or so.
I have a b8O dock and B5O tab
I'm running prime 1.7, dock power saving active

I thaught that i had the same problem, but my tf101 only wakes up when it was charging. If it's disconneted from the power source, after 5 or 10 minutes you must use the power button on the pad to turn it on.
I also changed the wifi power save policy to 'disabled when screen is off', and it looks like my battery drain problem has gone.
(charged it this night, used it for 1,5 hours ,6 hours standby and still >80% left on the dock).
Come to think of it, i never tested it on batt. only. It was alway connected to the psu.
Will try it now on batt.

Just tested without the psu connected.
Nothing will wake the unit except for the pwr button.
Also looks like there is no batt. draining problem here.

I did try again and after 10-15 minutes form pressing the power button to enter sleep mode, the touchpad doesn't seem to wake up the tablet anymore. This is with the Eee Pad docked and running on battery, using stock HC 3.2
I obviously did not wait long enough when testing this yesterday
Thanks for you feedback anyway
Its always the power button that wakes up the thing for me, even on custom roms.

That's Funny... I let mine un-plugged over night and then I opened the lid it woke up. Not a big deal to me, I actually prefer it that way. My battery drain was only like 2% after 7.5 hours, with wifi on.
Just yesterday I have purchased the galaxy tab 10.1, it worked just fine for the entire day, and I have left it to charge throughout the night, I have unplugged it and let it lie there for a while in the morning, when I came back to it it was off, and wouldn't turn on, I have read about turning it on by holding power button + volume buttons, and touching the screen while holding the power button, and eventually I did manage to get it to power up, but as soon as I touch the tablet and move it ever so slightly, it turns off. Why does this keep happening?
Also, it appears that when the tablet is connected to the wall charger, it works fine and I can move it around and turn it on, yet as soon as I unplug it it turns off and starts messing up again.
Return your tab. Its broken.

Well i imagined so, I'll return it later on today, thanks
Recently I noticed that my transformer is powered off; especially in the morning. The other day it wouldn't even start again. I tried holding down the power-button for serveral seconds without any reaction. Event pressing power and vol-down didn't show any reaction.
So I hooked up the transformer to the power cord, and tried a couple of days later, and it would turn on.
Since then I had a couple of times, where the transformer was just power off after I send it to sleep.
Is this a know bug? Is there any way to resolve this problem? What's causing this?
BTW: I'm running the stock ICS on an TF101G.

That sounds like the SOD (Sleep Of Death) issues that have been occurring with ICS... If it happens again, try holding down power for 10-15 seconds, and then pressing power again to turn in back on....
If it is SOD, there really is nothing you can do about it other than waiting for an update from Asus (which is currently in beta testing, which is going well)....

Is this update for the TF101G as well, or will it only available for the TF1010?
Also I had trouble turning the tablet back on ... when it first occured, holding down the power button for 10-15 secs and then pressing it again did not work. I had to charge the tablet for a couple of days before I could turn it back on again. Lately it would just turn on after this procedure.
Also just now I had like a infinite loop of restarts, where just the Asus logo would appear ... after about a dozen cycles the tablet finally started.

Anyone else have an issue with having to long press the power button 20+sec after powering down for more than a few minutes to get it to turn on?
Just returned an 8gb unit for screen lift and wanting a bigger storage capacity. Know its hard to get a perfect unit and I have found a perfect screen but now every time I power down I have to long press the power button to turn it on. My other unit turned on within a few seconds. Normal?
I've had that happen on 3 of them already. I've just learned accept it as normal behavior. Some days it powers on quickly some days i have to power it by holding the power button for 20 seconds.

How often do you power down your device? I probably never, unless have to.
Btw, I don't need ours the button for that long
Every Android device I have had expects a long press to power on.
Nexus 7 is one of the faster - mine takes about 4 seconds.
I expect the delay is to keep a momentary press from accidentally turning it on (pocket call).
I was panicked yesterday. After powered down, I could not turned it on.
Usually it will take a few seconds, but yesterday was about 20 seconds.
So I guess it is "normal".
I will no longer freaking out next time

Happens to me too. Every time it takes about 10-20 secs to power on. Generally I switch it off at night!
Yes there are times when I just press for 2-3 seconds and its powers up. Sometimes, it just doesn't power up even after 10 second... But I got used to this issue and I just keep trying again and again.
This is something Google should fix

Just bought one today and have this issue, about 10-15 seconds. Weird randomness. The first boot it only needed a few seconds. When you're travelling like I am atm its good to be able to power off if i dont know when i can charge it the next time. I wonder if its hardware or software. Nice device anyhow, the screen is so so but at this price i wouldnt expect better.

I had the same issue and thought my battery died, but the weird part is if I plug it into the oem charger it wouldn't show anything either. Don't know if that's normal or not.

Same here, I purchased it, held the power for a few seconds to power it on and it worked. After a few days I decided to turn it on one day and it wouldn't power on til I googled the answer LOL
mine booted up super quick at first, started loading it up with apps, and after my 2nd full battery discharge i noticed that it took 10-20 seconds to turn on. i have a C8OK, very very slight left side lift (not enough to be a bother) and i had super minor flicker at low levels of brightness. Funny thing, i got LUX brightness app with the free 25$ and use the "sub zero" brightness setting, i like to save battery and keep it dim, this has eliminated ALL flicker for me. i was thinking it was hardware doing this as other tegra devices had flicker, but now i think it is something with droid settings/software. i would suggest all those with flicker to try this app.

Are you talking about boot up time or time it takes holding the power button before the device switches on
For switching on it should only ever maximum take 10-15secs of holding power as holding power for 10secs simulates a battery pull
