Man, the problems just keep coming.
In addition to constant force closes and very poor performance, I'm now getting the black screen of death after the Honeycomb 3.2 update. Basically, an app will crash and trying to return to the home screen or any other app, simply produces a black screen with the button bar on the bottom. I can use the multitasking button, but any app I go to gives a black screen. Sometimes hitting the power button and unlocking the device brings back a working app, but usually I have to wait for "android system" or something else to force close before I can use the tablet.
All this after a factory reset and minimal installation of my previous apps.
I'm so frustrated at Asus right now. Maybe i should go back to the original firmware at this point!

Are you rooted? How are you reinstalling your apps?

Not rooted and installing from the Android Market - most of my apps are paid, so not installing them or using something else isn't an option -they worked fine before the update and doubt that's what's causing these problems.
I'm also seeing a bug when you try to share something, sometimes the screen dims and you get nothing unless you rotate the screen (which is not a good option if you are docked!). This has been discussed in another thread.
This update has been by FAR the worst I've experienced with any of my devices

I hate to say it, but here's a theory: if 3.2 really did implement more hardware acceleration throughout the system, then perhaps you have a faulty GPU that's only now being stressed enough to cause issues. Certainly, you're experiencing more problems than anyone else seems to be, and so it does point at your unit as defective in some fashion.

I hope 3.2 didn't break my device - I had already sent it in once before. But if a faulty GPU is the culprit, it shouldn't crash when it's idle doing nothing right? It might crash during a game or something, but not while looking at my wifi settings or reading an email.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
sell it and get a new one, definitely shouldn't be acting this way especially if you did a full reset. I have never seen this happen before or after 3.2
I think these issues are limited to a few systems since it appears most people are not having issues It would be good to see if the units showing issues have some related hardware or software configurations. The people with errors should send their HW configuration and serial # beginning (ex 30, 40, 50, 60, 70). Also, rooted/not rooted, live wall papers (uses acceleration) or static, apps installed.
So I waiting a long time to wipe this device as I wanted to wait until ICS was up. I had major issues with honeycomb. Stuff would just stop working, like going into settings would give me a black screen with the word settings in the top left, but no data would populate the screen. I was getting this with other apps as well. I basically had to wait several minutes for things to sort itself out and then it would run fine for a few more minutes before giving me the same problem.
Now with ICS and two factory resets later, I'm getting similar problems and major system hesitation ... for example, selecting a new ringtone takes about 5 seconds to actually play the ringtone. Creating this new post in tapatalk took about 5-10 seconds to load... things delay so much that almost every app gives me a popup stating 7gst the app is not responding and I can either wait or close it.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? These issues make my tablet useless as I use it for work and these constant system delays and hesitations are making it impossible to work with.
On a side note, ICS works amazingly fast on my Galaxy Nexus and HP Touchpad.

Sounds like operator error to me..try to do a full wipe or everything, and start all over with a fresh version of 8.6.5.21, if you are having problems before flashing you will likely have similar problems afterwards..IMO
I would go download the full ICS ROM (I think 317 MB), wipe EVERYTHING, and install that. Everything working fine for me.

I had the same problem. Do a factory reset after upgrading. My market was crashing. I couldn't open any apps. The launcher kept crashing. Once I did a factory reset, everything is smooth and fast.
I did two factory resets (full wipes) already... Do you guys really think that a third one will fix this?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I was having some of these issues when I first upgraded, but a simple hard reboot fixed all the issues perfectly and now my TF101 is smoother than ever.
Android.process.media could be the source of my problems.
It's running high on the cpu and I can't figure out why. I don't have any pictures or music for it to scan, so what is it doing??

Things were slow for me after the update, but after a reboot everything works fine..

I'll try that if this problem comes back, so far I force closed the DRM service based on advice on another forum and the Android.process.media service stopped cranking out cpu cycles immediately.
I've enabled "show cpu usage" in the developers options and the Android.process.media service is gone...
Things finally seem better.

I didn't do anything and it seems fine. I might do a factory reset if it starts showing issues though. I do the same on my Windows PC - once it gets too slow it's time for a new start!
For those with speed issues, dont forget to check hardware acceleration in dev options. It was like night and day for me.
So. I can't even run it. I did the wipe before flashing. But I get stuck at the android logo on first boot.
I've tried flashing 3 times already.
Any suggestions?

Not bragging, just a contrast. Also not trying to advocate. But, that said, i did an earnest Ota update, getting great results. No force closes, the few quirks that it has are no worse or more noticeable than any other ROM, screen flicker, touch errors etc, i don't expect everything to be perfect ( it is a man made device, nothing is perfect) but it is greatly improved.
ICS made the device responsive and customizable enough to forgive the dead pixels and the dust under my camera's lens. Happy with my decision to buy a tf101 instead of the 201.
Same. I am not getting my panties wet over ICS but I have no complaints.
No screen tearing/flickering, no battery drain, no force closes, no random reboots.
It's literally just as stable as it was before ICS.
I did do a factory reset before flashing the rooted ICS rom with CWM.
However, I did notice some lag and screen flickering immediately after upgrading.
Did a cold reboot and that seems to have fixed it.
Same with me. No problems with ICS. Everything just so so much better. Very very fast and smooth. I formatted the system in CWM as well as all the usual wipes (cache, dalvik etc) before I installed and that was almost two days ago now.
No issues. ICS rocks! The chrome browser is awesome also I must say. Its my default browser already even in beta.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
love ICS, installation was smoth, everything works OK,
But I got two random reboots in two days - this is a mayor issue that hope will be fixed asap.
Happy overall.
+1... no problems here either ..
My TF has improved by at least a 100% from HC! .. and its not even custom roms yet! ..
couldn't be happier ...
everything is ok until now
Little pointless treahd but no i haven't had any problem with the OS it self.
No major issues
Well everything seems to be fast n responsive to me. Battery life has also noticeably improved. Was initially disappointed with stock browser and Chrome, but ICS Browser + solved the issue. Encountered a couple of FC's for Asus Task Manager, but otherwise is very good. Overall pretty happy camper here
I am satisfied with ICS, it was the main reason I got the TF101 2 weeks ago: I bought it in an offer from local Amazon with the intention of returning it in 30 days if ICS is not out or if the things promissed with it were not real, BUT:
I went with the full CWM update, no issues, no FC, no random reboots, no unusual battery drain, for now the only 2 problems seems to be a rare screen flicker once in a while (mostly occurring when trying Live wallpaper), and the non-working USB, but I don't care as I don't use it: I sync the files I need with a NAS storage and "ES File Manager". There is a zip that fix it, but I don't need it for now, waiting for revolver 4.
in general, I am 90% satisfied with ICS, while with HC I was less than 50% satisfied.
Update:
USB fixed, 91% satisfied now.
With ICS the Transformer is working like it shold have when its released. Im so happy that the "beta times" with Honeycomb are over.
Flashed the full stock Asus package via CWM with full wipe and had no reboots, flickering or FCs.
Best OS that my Transformer has ever seen.

No problems here... No reboots, no other quirks... I did an official ICS update and then rooted and Cwm... I have believe that is the crucial difference between those having problems and those not.

Am I allowed to post?
I have a couple of issues but I trust ASUS to issue further updates to handle them.
The last Honeycomb update seemed to cause some extra random hanging so I am glad to be off that.
Today I noticed one of my apps was hanging due to an unsupported operation exception. Bit annoying but the browser improvements alone are worth a temp problem in one or two apps.
For me its great. Much faster.
Hi guys , for me everything is fine except the sound ! The sound is lower than HC particularly in Skype,youtube,video etc. Notifications and games sound is good.
Has anyone similar problem ?
Big time sound loss!

Disagree with this post, as the threads have been a nonstop ***** and moan season for some on their problems.
This is a useful thread as if enough people write up in it that they have had little or no problems with the upgrade from the main ROMs used,
Then the Minority that do have problems can be rest assured that usually with the right advice... They can get a clean stable OS going..
+ 1 on mine.. No major problems.. If anything I am experiencing better picture/screen resolution..
Don't know why but it looks sharper and depth of color is a little better..
Tapatalk was grainy on the white background.. Now it's sharp..
Just streamed a 720 mkv off the LAN share and didn't miss a beat in MXplayer either.
-1 sound through speakers is lower.. But I am sure a fix well be presented shortly..

I believe this is key. I completely wiped and started from .13 and upgraded 3 times. Restored some apps with TB and all is well. Had 1 reboot but that was probably my fault.

I have found that Asus has put the governor modules to go from interactive when on to conservative when in deep sleep. This is what is causing the random DS issues. Reinstalled SetCPU and put governor to interactive to overuse Asus module and all is well.
I just received a brand new Tf300 a few days ago. It is the first tablet I have ever owned and don't know if the performance issues I am experiencing are actually common among other tablets. Whenever I quickly switch from one app to another, the device slows down and then I get a pop up message telling me to wait for the app or force close it. The problem gets worse when I am downloading stuff in the background. I have never had this problem before with any of the 4 android phones I have owned. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this?

Trying doing a cold boot. It also depends on what apps you are using, some might not be complete compatible. A lot of people are having problems with google chrome, also the stock browser is kind wonky. Suggest using Dolphin or Opera.
I havent seen the issue you mentioned personally yet on my TF300, however it has been mentioned a few times on other sites & reviews.
It seems to have something to do with the I/O communication to the memory while downloading/installing multiple things at once through Google Play. Its been said to have an impact on OS performace and that the "wait or FC" message is common. Just hit wait and it will be fine.
If its happening when you are idle...Id say something is running in the background you dont know about and using memory.

I did try a cold boot once and it sisnt so anything, really. I also never actually tried running the stock browser. Immediately after turning on the device, I downloaded Quick ICS Browser. Also, I'm not are if the browser is the main problem affecting the performance, as I seem to be having this issue even when downloading from the market or switching through apps.

I actually have been doing this, but honestly I don't think this is something we should have to do after paying $400 for a brand new tablet that I would assume would be in perfect working condition right out of the box :-/

I have not had any problems switching from apps, even while updating several apps at once on the market. I guess since your Pad is practically brand new, just give it a a day or two of use and see if that helps settle down the system (with a couple of reboots in between). In worst case scenario, I would say exchange it for a new one.

Im not exactly sure that one would consider it a defect. I think its just an example with how the OS performance is affected while installing multiple apps at one time.
Id say you could avoid the problem by installing only a couple things at one time. I have an HTC phone and the same thing happens when I try to install from Google Play and tinker with other stuff at the same time.

You're probably right. Maybe it is the fact that most apps on the market are primarily made for Android phones, not android tablets. I will uninstall all apps and see if I can install one by one to see if I can find out which ones are the ones giving me problems.

I've been having exact same problems on prime (tf201) ... and on top of than random reboots, shut-offs, battery discharging, and non working gps (hardware problem)...
I came to a conclusion that asus sucks... here is why: i have two phones running ICS, and neither has this issues, and both are MUCH faster than prime / tf300 - so it is purely a bunch of software bugs, and asus had SO much time to fix them, and still people across the board have these same problems with transformers
long story short - i retuned prime, and was/am considering tf300... but it looks like i will pass..., although i really like the dock

I DONT Have those issues with my prime. not everyone has them across the board. while some do, slot don't. GPS works great with the dongle Asus sent out for free. alot of the reported issues on both prime and 300 have been reported by various other tablets and phones running ICS. doesn't matter if your two phones don't. its still widely documented ICS issues across the board on most devices running ICS. this is more of a Google issue THST needs addressing. Google is the one who created ICS. these problems are limited to only Asus tablets. just Google ICS issues and tons of hits will pop up across several different devices. Google is the one who needs to step it up and address this.
Asus is a manufacturing company. they make hardware, not software. they still try to do the best they can to solve software issues. Even Asus getting frustrated because they having to try to fix stuff THST Google should be addressing, software wise.
OK, I just had to come back after a week of using and tinkering with my TF300 and after having it factory reseted and doing a cold boot reset it now works FLAWLESSLY. I love this tablet and I have downloaded tons of games that look beautiful on it. The only thing I wish were present were a bigger selection of tablet-friendly apps on the market. I also wish Google would allow us to search apps that are designed for tablets only. I have tried using the Tablified Market app and it is just too slow in my opinion and it has no option to sort by most popular or highest rated.

Were you experiencing the issue of slow performance when installing apps from the Play Store and if so did the factory reset fix it? I'm plagued by the issue where updating/installing apps kills my TF300.

Good Luck
Anyone else experiencing this? In the 24 hours I've been using my nexus 10, this has happened at least 10 times. All of a sudden the device becomes unresponsiv, the screen dims until it turns off, and the only way to get the device back on is holding down the power key multiple times until it boots back up. Needless to say, quite frustrating. Otherwise, love this device.

Not quite sure how one loves a device that forces you to reboot ten times in the last 24 hrs. It's like buying a new Honda and loving it even though it stalls ten times a day.
Too many people apparently buy their device to adoringly stare at like a trophy or a collectors item than actually use.
Those all seem like pretty legitimate apps to me. This would suck but I would suggest deleting one app and using the tablet till it happens then rinse repeat till you find the offending program.
Try the secret magic spell: a full wipe

Add me to the list of people with random freezes and reboots. It's happened to me 3 times since I've gotten the tablet a few days ago, and I was using a different app each time. I suspect it's an OS bug rather than an app that's causing it. It's a little disheartening that Google let their new flagship 10" device get released with such a bug. Hopefully they release an OTA update sooner rather than later.
For the record, I rooted using the flashable CWM SuperSU file - I did not use the toolkit.
I have had my 16gb 10 now for almost a week - currently stock and non rooted. No problems whatsoever and I have been working it pretty hard.
Mine has frozen 2-3 times in the past few days. No idea why either. Audio continues to play, and the device responds to button use, but the display stops altogether.

Happened to me several times as well. Last time the screen went black (not off) and the tablet was extremely hot, to the point of burning my hand when I touched it! Seems it was stuck that way for several hours and didn't reboot itself.
I've been having random rebooting and freezes since getting this tablet i've replaced it three times already so i'm tired of calling google about it don't even think they have a solution because we've been waiting since November for them to fix this problem so i decide to turn off location and took HD widgets out and so far my tablet has not frozen or rebooted in two weeks it been working really well hope it continues to perform this way.
Chrome has major stability issues as far as I can tell. It crashes very frequently and causes a complete system lock-up when it does. I've resorted to Firefox. To me, this is absurd on a core first party app. Google: get your act together on Chrome.
I recently noticed this issue and have been reading what a lot of others here have had to say and so far it seems to be related to wifi. I would bet it's a software / kernel / driver issue because others have reported not having the problem before the latest update.
If I think about it, I probably had the lockup/reboot happen once before now and I can't really tell you what I was doing at the time. But I thought nothing of it. I have however found a way to force it to happen. All it takes is a large download (1gig'ish) in uTorrent, the download works fine for about 10 minutes and then the tablet either just restarts, or it first becomes unresponsive to input (screen or buttons) but is still functioning, followed by a hard lock up that can only be fixed with a forced power off.
It may be a buffer issue, or memory leak, I've been able to prolong the lockup by throttling the uTorrent download speed and minimizing the number of active apps running. As suggested in other threads I've disabled location discovery and it may have bought me a little more time but if so it's not much. I can't tell if it's because of the amount of constant data flow coming in, or the number of active connections to different seeders, or more likely a combination of the 2. I can also say that if I attempt to browse the web with either chrome or Dolphin while downloading in uTorrent the freeze or reset happens much quicker.
So for now I'm hoping that in the next update they resolve the issue and will just use my pc for torrent downloading.

It may help Google resolve this issue if you reported your obvervations in this bug report thread:

I think the wording you used in your post would be sufficent. Nothing helps identify where a bug is more than a repeatable instance of the issue.
Turning off the location services and uninstalling HD widgets sorta worked for me... I still get random reboots though but mostly when I'm using Chrome. Google should have just left the stock android browser and made Chrome optional.

Nope, the problem was submitted to Google months ago and is listed to only receive medium priority. A total system failure that affects every single Nexus device is only given medium priority. Makes me ponder what in glory be would be considered high priority. Maybe if the tablet reached out and kicked you in the balls whenever you looked away from it
