Hello all,
Received my a7 a few days ago and was noticing sometimes it wouldn't wake up when it went to standby. The green indicator on the top of the device became solid instead of blinking which I assume means its not in standby anymore, but the screen remains blank. I thought a factory reset would fix the problem, but it didnt. I installed dexters mod last night and it did nothing to fix the problem. Any suggestions? Should I send it back or is there a fix for this?

You can't send back while you have custom ROM. Revert to stock ROM and try to reproduce the problem. Install 2-3 applications and check. Then install a few apps again.
I think it's app fault.

I just installed the new firmware and its doing the same thing, even before installing any apps. Gonna send it back.

Mine did this briefly, I removed power cord, pressed reboot button with paperclip, then went to recovery mode and did factory wipe. I've been good ever since. This did not help until I tried with cord out for entire process.
My Asus Transformer wont stop rebooting and when I turn it off, it takes me countless times to hit the power on/off button to turn it on, then it just randomly reboots every time I am connected to the internet. I have not rooted my device nor have I done anything to affect its stock state, any help at all would be much appreciated!!
I always have to hold my power button for a few second to boot it from a completely off state... Are you doing that? Or just quick pressing it?
As for the rebooting issue, since you are completely stock with out root, then I would start by uninstalling any recent apps. maybe if you remember what new apps were installed around the time the issues began... I would start there. otherwise, factory reset and see if that helps... Beyond that, i'm not sure what you can do with a stock non rooted device. good luck

I have managed to do a factory reset, and no apps were present, yet still when I went to the browser it rebooted and now I am struggling to turn it on, after the first lock screen, it reboots again. Yes, I am also holding the power button untill the screen glows. Thanks for the quick reply!
If a factory reset does not fix it, then back up any important data and get on the phone with asus to do a warranty repair (assuming you are past the return date from where you bought it)
I have returned the device and am getting a new one in a few hours. I hve done some research and i understood that the new firmware update does that to the transformer 101. Can anyone confirm that? Or am I safe to update the new device which i will recive? Thanks!
Hello lads! The last few days I have been trying to fix a huge problem with my Galaxy S4 i9505. I had been using the Google 4.4 rom for almost a month without any problem. One day, when my phone was low on battery it shutted down and I plugged it in my charger to power it on again. When it turned on I was prompted to the screen you see when you use the 4.4 rom for the first time. I had all my apps but everything was resetted. Every setting, all the app data, messages, etc. I thought this was a one time thing so I used about an hour to get everything back to normal again. Then the next day, same happened again. Phone turned off because of low battery, and everything was reset. I tried to google it but with no luck, so I did a factory reset and flashed the newest Google rom (4.4.2) with a new kernel called Ktoonsez. Got everything back to normal again and used my phone for a couple of hours before it just suddenly shutted down once again, but this time with almost full battery. When i tried to turn it on I was stuck on the Google loading animation and had to reflash 4.4.2. It turned back on and this time I decided to let the phone stay stock to see if any of my problems was caused of my apps or settings. It lasted for 2-3 days before the same thing happened again... I tried to flash different modems, other roms and firmwares but nothing have helped so far. I am also prompted with a message each time I turn the phone on which tells me that com.android.phone has stopped working. I have tried several factory resets, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, but still has the same problem... I have now given up trying and wonder if anyone of you know what I can do to fix the problem? Any tip is much appreciated and I hope to hear from you! Thanks!

Hey Guys,
I've been having problems with my nexus 4 randomly shutting down itself. The problem is sometimes when my phone goes to sleep mode it doesn't wake up again when I push the power button. There is no shut down animation or anything, it just randomly turns off. I have to long press the power button to reboot the phone. I'm currently on PA Final 4.41 along with hellsdoctor R20 kernel, this happens on both Dalvik and ART. My brother who is on a completely stock nexus 4 which was updated to 4.4.4 via OTA has the same problem as well.
I'm thinking it might be a bug in android 4.4.4 but not sure. Anyone have a fix for this problem? Thanks so much.

Turn off auto update apps in playstore. Happend to me before to. Something happends when on wifi and phone in deepsleep the playstore auto updates the apps and it doesn't respond and I have to keep pressing the power button to power it on.
I have no more shutdowns since 4.4.3. But I use stock rooted.

I will try to turn off my auto update but I don't think it's the problem. My brother's phone which is completely stock, not rooted and has auto update off still experience the same problem as well.

My mother's full stock nexus 4 with android 4.4.4 experience no such problems
Same here
I got this crash today too. It just got stuck. Forced reset and it's ok. But again, this happens since 4.4.4
And i get some crazy lags on Google+ sometimes ... and this is a first. Don't know if it is the app, rom or Kernel.
I am on Paranoid Android 4.4.1, with Franco's kernel and running ART.
Also i am running ART for a long time now and never had any problems.
So I tried turning off Google Play updates and the problem persists. It usually happens around after the phone has been on for 30+ hours. Gonna try to switch back to Dalvik and see if the problems persist. Never had this happen before only after updating to 4.4.3+ ROMs have this started happening. Very stumped as to how to fix it
Right, so I think I cracked this one...
I handed in my headset in order for customer service to fix it and of course they flashed it with Googles 4.4 image(had to upgrade to 4.4.4 once I turned it on)...
After rooting it and flashing a bunch of custom roms I suffered from the same problem, it drove me nuts but I remembered it didn't happen when I upgraded from 4.4.2 so I downloaded a 4.4.2 image and flashed it(used wugs toolkit-the manual option) flashed TWRP recovery and a custom rom and I'm random shutdown free for the last few hours, hope that helps...
same problem here 100% stock android 4.4.4 (using nova but can't imagine that matters) last night was the first time i picked up the phone and pressed the power button... nothing. long pressed the power button for 8-10 seconds and it booted up. now again about 15 hours later i pick up the phone press the power button and nothing. never happened before and i assume its something to do with the 4.4.4 update. i dont use auto updating in the play store and this has literally never happened before yesterday.

Try a 4.4.3 kernel like hellscore b47 or if you think it's a wifi issue a 4.4.2 version like b46 with the wifi fix.

How many hours has your phone been on? Mine usually shutdowns itself after 30+ hours.

I just reflashed PA 4.41 and running the kernel that came with PA. I believe it's the stock android one. Let's see how it goes.

When did you update to 4.4.4? I never experienced this on 4.4.2 either. Only started happening after I updated to 4.4.4. I think for me it happened the first night after updating.

The only thing I can tell you is, that 4.4.4 causes a lot of problems recently. You are by far not the only one with this problem. I've also experienced random shutdowns like yours, bootloops, devices not turning on again...
Especially stock 4.4.4 causes problems. I could not identify the problem or bugfixes by now. It is really complicated since some devices work fine with 4.4.4 and some dont.
I only can suggest you to flash a 4.4.3 rom. That is the only work around.

Approx 24 hrs atm
same problem here...
Same here.
I have had the same problem since i updated to 4.4.4... except mine shuts off only when i touch the screen (like pull the menu down, open a app, ect.) so, I went and did a factory reset, nothing changed. downloaded the Nexus Root Toolkit, did a flash stock to 4.4.4 again, nothing.. Then now I have tried another flash stock to 4.4.3 but now have manually updated to 4.4.4. I will reply again to see if this changes anything.
My Nexus 4 is completely stock, not rooted, never tampered. So I am very surprised with this issue, but I have had another issue.. Along with the shutting off issue I have a problem which so far was fixed with the first Flash stock(i think) I would use my Nexus 4 with signal for texting and using data but when i went to actually use data like to search something up it would randomly say i have "no service".. not sure why it did this, happened when I had 4 bars and didn't move..
Still not working
After I did the Flash Stock to 4.4.3 and then manually updated to 4.4.4, my nexus still doesnt work. Dont even bother trying it.
I have the same issue however with a mail app, while the phone is perfect without the mail app
The newest update that was installed on my phone caused a glitch where it won't allow my screen to lock, I placed a timer, to see how long it would take for my phone to turn off,
My phone died after 5 hours, without the screen turning off...
Where is the fix? How do I get it to stop, seriously. This is unacceptable.
Well, the good part is you get at least 5 hours SOT.
I have had this happen periodically, usually a cache wipe fixes it. Still don't know why it happens, and it's quite rare and random, though. Try booting to recovery and wiping cache and see if that fixes it. If not a factory reset may be in order.
