Sorry about posting the thread here as I couldn't post it where it needed to go. I have had this GT 10.1 for a few days love what it can do but It continuously wants to go to sleep and not wake up. This is a locked rooted 32gb version.
I have noticed while it is in the dock it tends to only lock up on the home screen and it solved by just removing it from the dock and inserting it again into the dock. When its not in the dock it does the Sleep of death and If i plug it back into the dock while is SoD it will come back to life. I don't have any idea if this helps with your deductions on dealing with this bug. But I thought It could help somehow.
I didnt plug the dock into any power source either.
Well I tried doing the above now its boot looping DARN I REALLY like this thing
after the 3 or 4th SoD the OS got garbled and I had to do a factory reset and reload the OS using ODIN and back to Stock.
Gonna remove the OC kernal witch I had loaded and reload the STOCK OS until its fixed.
I have this problem, my tab 7 days old is dead... I was using it, turn it off connect it to charge it and it is not working now..
Is there any fix or way to get out of the sleep of death?
the asus transformer forum says it's fixed with 3.1 (mostly).
i guess it's the reason why the EU release is delayed permanently.
guys i dont thing there anything wrong with the tablet. i believe its the wall charger.ur usb on ur pc or laptot is not ready to charge ur tablet but it will at a slow rate, really slow.i tired charging it with the wall outlet n it would not do anything. called samsung thay wanted me to send it in for service.i said no.i have it charging with my laptop.that work for me.give it time to charge and u'll see it charging.the cable is good its the big box that plugs in to the wall thats bad.
gt 16gig gray unlocked

Mine wouldn't turn on for the life of me yesterday...exchanged for a brand new unit at best buy....wtf!
Mine does the "Sleep of death" only with custom firmwares and when charging on the media dock...going back to stock fixes the issue...to wake up the tablet I had to make a combination of Power + Volume Down for several seconds until it finally turns on...
Mine was stock. No combination of button presses worked for me
Same with mine. I just shipped it back for repair...

You just need to hold down the power button for 15 seconds, or so. Maybe 30. I've had this issue a few times in the few months I've had this. My bigger problem is the Wake of Death. The stupid thing turns itself on for no reason, and never goes back to sleep, so the battery is almost dead when I go to use it. This happens a few times a week. Drives me crazy.

same here...my first one died...my exchange unit randomly freezes, but the volume and power button works, unlike the first unit
Running fine for a day, then suddenly when i looked at the screen it was at the "Asus" screen (with the logo and spinny thing below) - i touched the screen and it froze.
And now its frozen.
And I had just charged it...grrr - do i really have to wait 12 hours or however much it takes before the battery is depleted.
I wonder if there is a way to reset it.

Happened to several guys.
Did you try to press and hold power for ten or more seconds? It should power off and you should be able to power it on again.
this is happened to me 3 times so far.
Hold the power button to power off and reboot.
For mine after it boots it'll run ok for a minute or so, then run horribly slow until the launcher crashes. after the launcher starts back up it'd be ok.
Did you hard reset before the OTA? Where you stock, stock rooted, cwm flashed? Just trying to get more info.

We are having way too many threads for the same issue...
Mine still experiences the problem after a factory reset.
As everyone mentioned, holding down the power button fix it temporarily.
Someone else reported that you can avoid the random reboot problem by disabling deep sleep using no sleep widget, although it's a crude walkaround.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Just an idea but what if you use something like SetCPU and up the lower frequency. Had this issue on a kanged ICS rom for my phone. It wasn't the deep sleep that was the problem but the lowest frequency was too low to re-initialize the apps that were cached once you woke it up.
I did a full complete wipe and updated from .13 to ICS and am not going to jinx myself by saying what I am implying. If you know what I mean.
Interesting, and I do agree that there are too many threads, since I am trying to get some idea of how common this is. I think I was the original poster on this, but in any case in my particular situation I tried holding the power button down, resetting it through the reset hole, and holding the power button in while pressing the volume button down (this did give me the option of reformatting which I tried) but in every case it simply flashed the eedpad screen. The battery finally appears to have died and I'm trying to recharge it now, but so far it is now completely dead. All of this happened after it went into deep sleep. This tablet is 100% original, never been rooted or tampered with in any way so, unless this is a coincidence or a combo of ICS and one of the apps I have in it, I expect this to become a very common occurence. Anyway, I'll let it charge for a bit and see what happens. I already have an RMA (the service person didn't seem too surprised and didn't really try much trouble shooting - when I asked if he had heard of this before he kind of said I wasn't the first) so I'm sending it back to Asus on Monday so that when I get it back I can sell it, but I'm just wondering what percentage of people are having this problem. Heck, if it's even just 5% Asus is going to have a major expense on its hand.
I had the dreaded Asus logo freeze twice now, since the ics update. Both times when I wasn't using the tablet.

Mine has frozen 2x already since the ics update. I performed a factory reset before and after the update.
Screen just goes black/blank and would have to hold the power button for 10secs.

Hey thanks, I thought I had pressed power down for long enough - but apparently not.
I was on normal HC and just accepted the update when it prompted me for it.
But if a lot of people are seeing this i guess Asus made a little blunder in this version.
I just came in after leaving my Transformer asleep for about three to four hours, and found the asus logo flashing on for a few seconds and then off, repeating over and over. Had to do a reset with power and vol down to get it to reboot. Seems OK for now except it really drained the battery.
I guess there will be a few ICS bugs to work out.

About the "No Sleep" widget, that was me. Well, this seems to be a widespread issue. Asus should take the update back and stop offering OTA...this is a pretty big issue.

Well asus is good about providing prompt follow up updates so I wouldn't be surprised if we start getting bugfix updates in the coming weeks.
Yea seems like the TF only goes crazy when it's in sleep/not being used.
Mine is not rooted so I don't really want to go through the trouble changing processor frequency.
Where is the reset hole btw?...

I thought it's the mic too... Does your voice record still work after you "reset" your TF?...
Edit: Saw the dreaded Asus loading screen again when I came back from dinner... 3rd time today... It's getting on my nerves a bit now. Such a pity that the TF is perfect besides this issue... I don't care if it reboots every hour or so, as long as it doesn't hang and depletes the battery.
Just to clarify, and so others don't break their microphone,THERE IS NO RESET HOLE! if your device is frozen, hold the power button to reset.
Are we certain its the deep sleep causing this?
Didn't happen to me this morning. I stopped using it around midnight and woke up fine the next day.

How do you it didn't happen? It doesn't get stuck at the ASUS logo for me, it simply reboots. Try leaving something open, like a browser window, turn off the screen and come back sometime later. If it's back to the homescreen and there are no recent apps, then it rebooted.
I don't know if it is the deep sleep that is causing it. All i know is that the bug is only triggered while sleeping. Every logcat i get stops at an AlarmManager event, before the reboot.

My experience with my S4A has been amazingly flawless up until yesterday, when it started experiencing one of the issues that killed my experience with the HTC One- random freezes. And what's strange about it is that they are the same type of freezes that my One experienced, only when browsing the web or using an internet based app like Pulse. It has happened 3 times since yesterday and is so bad that I've had to pull the battery to even get it to reboot. Which brings me to one of my suspicions...
The only thing that has changed between me getting the phone set up originally and when the freezes began was the fact that I started swapping batteries instead of charging the phone. Now, phone batteries nowadays are not just like your average AA cell, it has circuitry in it and NFC stuff... is it possible that a defective battery could be the culprit of my woes? I just put in my original battery and am gonna just wait and see if it happens. The other battery that I've been using is a Samsung OEM battery and not a cheap one. I did root and freeze a bunch of stuff, but nothing exotic, and it was fine until yesterday. I doubt anything I did caused this.
Has anyone else experienced any freezes like this? Help me solve this, I really want to keep this phone (at least until the next latest and greatest comes out). TIA

A couple of times now my active has become unresponsive. The power button doesn't seem to work and the home key doesn't do anything. The led is flashing blue and the battery is still about 35%. The only thing I can do is pull the battery.
Not sure if this is related to your question but I'm going to try to get it replaced...

My LED never starts flashing but like yours, none of the buttons respond and I have to do a battery pull. I really don't want to have to get it replaced, and I really don't want to wipe and start over, just don't have the time right now to do either. Did you do anything to yours? Root?

Same here. Nothing I froze should have any affect on system stability.
I Haven't had any issues since I've had the phone, going on 3 weeks. I've been rooted and have froze apps in TB with no problems since geohot gave us root. Also have done some other root mods, and have not experienced any issues.
Sounds like just some bad hardware circulating.

Man I REALLY hope it's not a hardware issue. I'm so tired of doing the repeated exchange thing. I went through 5 One X's before I found a suitable one, saw that pattern emerging with the One (had 2, both with same issues) and was really hoping the S4A was going to be the answer to my woes. I really love this phone but if it ends up being a hardware thing, I will be incredibly disheartened.

I dunno... My box is in another state so I won't be able to check it for a few weeks. I bought it on the very first day it was available if that helps any. On a side note, I put my original battery in last night and it hasn't locked up on me since. We'll see what happens by the end of the day.

I am rooted but that's pretty much it.
The only thing I know I was doing at the time was watching a YouTube video then pressed pause.
Next thing you know I picked it up hit the power... Nothing. Hit menu... Nothing. The blue LED was just the normal notification indicator, so I knew it hadn't powered off... Resulted in a battery pull.
I also know that I didn't get any messages or new notifications while the screen was off.

I know on the Captivate the Build Number could be found under the battery (can be found there on the S4A as well) and it was the year/month that the phone was built, or so they say. My S4A Build number is 1306 so I'm guessing it was built the beginning of June...

I would like to know if you have had any more problems since you put your original battery back in? If you could give a update I would really appreciate it. I really think the active is a great phone and I truly like it but if people are having a lot of issues with it, I'll just return it and get something else to save myself a headache down the road. I have a week left on my return date so that's why I was wanting to know.

gf has had similar issues; heres what fixed it.
battery pull
factory reset/restore
reboot
battery pull
reboot
root/etc/restore from there. check to make sure you dont have custom CPU voltage/speed mods enabled; i believe this was the initial culprit, though even after resetting them to stock it would still lock up. it only did it 3 times, and usually right after a new mod, but ONLY if CPU values were changed. after the above procedure, she redid all her cpu values but only AFTER all mods were installed, rebooted, and everything works great again.

Same problems no matter which battery. It seems to happen most when I'm using Chrome so I deleted the updates but it's still doing it. It happened while playing a game today which it's never done before. Next step is to freeze Chrome and see if that helps. If not, then I'm gonna factory reset and if that doesn't work, I'm gonna have to exchange it. I really did not want to have to deal with this. With my ridiculous work schedule I don't have the time or the energy. I might just start looking for a different phone because I'm sick of having issues like this.

Yeah bud, I really hope a reset works. I might do it tomorrow, I should have enough time. I'm just frustrated that I'm having identical issues with the S4A that I had on my One. I was really hoping to find a phone that just works. I don't think I've had a problem free phone since my Epic 4G Touch. My One X had issues (though my 5th one was near perfect), my iPhone 5 was horrible, both my Ones had problems, and now this. I'm just venting now but I'm seriously tired of it. I've got my eye on that new Sony i1 that's coming out in a couple months, I really love their current design choices and I've never tried a Sony before. Or maybe the next Nexus. Who knows. I just don't want to deal with this crap anymore.

Anyone got an issue where after some time (can be one week plus), you pick up your tab and the touchscreen is completely unresponsive on the lockscreen, can't even press powermenu? Reboot fixes. I had it on JSS1J and persists into JSS1Q. Hard to isolate as it may not happen for say a week of uptime, seems to be no pattern or consistent trigger

I been getting the same thing. Charging over night the tablet wakes but touch is unresponsive. I'm on Clean rom and Elementalx kernel. Yesterday morning after 8 hours on battery and unused it woke and touch was fine. This morning after 6 hours on charger, over night, it woke and touch is fine. Need more testing.
Note: yesterday afternoon I update Elementalx kernal to 1.3

I see this from time to time on mine. What sucks the most is when the damn alarm is going off and I can't do anything but hold the power down to reboot. Wife loves this "feature" in the early AM.
I have an unlocked bootloader but I'm running stock kernel (3.4.0-g6537a16) and stock JSS15Q. I do see random reboots as well, seems to be related to the screen going to sleep by itself but I can't reliably reproduce it.
Happens to me as well. Annoying.
I had this on stock locked so its nothing to do with bootloader or custom kernel/ROM.
Curious if a CM based ROM will affect this i.e. not stock JSS1Q based.
Is everybody facing this touchscreen issue? I am planning to get the new nexus 7 2nd Gen from canada. Is it something you can discover in the first week itself because the person who is bringing it will get the tab a week before her return.
If you're lucky it'll show up in that time period.
Others have gone 10 days.
Have them put off buying until the last second....
Same thing happening to me. The screen becomes unresponsive. Happens in the morning when the alarm is going off and have to reboot. I just updated to ElementalX 1.4 and hoping it'll fix it. I'm hoping Google comes out with an update soon because my screen sensitivity sucks sometimes. It's not registering my taps.
It doesn't lol it's either hardware or something in 4.3base

I experienced the same issue here. However, I am not able to reboot as I am still running on stock and don't have the debug option enabled. Pushing the power bottun for some time only brings up a menu where i may chosse to shut down. As the touchscreen is not working, I cannot do anything. Unfortunately, my battery is almost completely charged. Any ideas how to reboot?
Coincidence: The touchscren went unresponsive after the alarm clock went off. Maybe there is a connection?

Hold down the power button until it reboots.
I had this issue exactly once since I got mine, and it's been fine since. I suspect it's a hardware or driver issue.

I was looking to upgrade my OG N7 tablet to the current, but it sounds like the 2013 version has some frustrating bugs huh?...

Using stock rooted and never had these issues.
Do you guys think there may be an app causing this?

My beloved Note 4 is I think dying. I have read several threads, tried all techniques that have been used, including cleanup, cache clean, factory reset, wake lock etc. After restarting it may hold good for sometime but then screen freezes becomes black, exact two vibrations and the phone restarts.
It was an unrooted, very well maintained. I had changed the battery 4-6 weeks back to an Anker Note 4 battery as my stock battery was not holding charge below 15%. Nothing else changed. Perhaps running some magazine apps from mobi, but otherwise just took very good care of this.
I am so disappointed that words fail me to have lost this epic best device ever created.
If you guys can think off any thing I can do to revive my beloved Note 4, please let me know. Please.
Thanks

Frustrating
Strange thing as of this week, mine is doing the same thing - struggling to get it started, and tried everything including the reinstalling the rom - got a brand new battery and nothing is working....I did do an update just before all this started.
i really think its the battery too.... i've had the same problem a while back.

Nope swapping with stock battery still same freezes. Here's the weird part now. Three days running without freezing. I also watched a 45 min YouTube video at 720p. Nothing yet. I wonder is it because of the sheer power of the device and the way we put it on a an overdrive (running almost PC like tasks) has stressed the hardware out and which is now beginning to fail. I am still going to log the sequence of events when this happens. Now replying this via my note 4.

Also is running the best application made for Android (dns66) safe? A VPN vs rooted adaway is very different. Hope no anomalies with this.

I should write a book titled "how to jinx it". Phone back to freezing mode. Will start it tomorrow morning. Activity that I was doing is browsing the Amazon app and loading some item photos and the black frozen screen of death.

Can you post details of the update? What location? I don't think users in Canada are expecting any further updates.

I was having screen freezes without loss of power, would still work with S pen, rooted and installed other roms, tried a 1000 different things and nothing worked. Started having this issues after an official update. Bought a anker battery which solved some battery problems but the rest of the issues remained. 1 month ago phone started going black screen and turning off. Couldnt power it on, had to remove battery to start it again. 2 weeks ago installed nemesys rom and now working all like a charm. Hope im not jinxing it now.
Have exynos 910C
Eva, can you please keep checking and posting your results here. Fingers crossed too.
Also a brief step by step guide to install nemesys rom would greatly help.
I also thought if Nougat could fix the issue?

Will be calling Samsung support today based on suggestions on the other freeze thread. If 300 euros (that would be brand new phone in Canada), I am going to take this forward to the press.

It is a well known issue. Please read similar post in this forum (note 4 freeze and restart).
Solved only by installing app called wakelock, that drains a bit.
Samsung doesn't pronunce about that, but they know, oh, if they know. But the cure is expensive, and they want to avoid massive recall.
So, this is.
Greetings.
Oh, and someone better than me should investigate why wakelock works. Perhaps, it may help thousands users, around the world.
You have a problem with your EMMC chip!
Just over 2 years old note 4 G model. There are days mine restarts up to 10 times. In a "good" day only 2-3 times. Only gets worse in the last half year. Need a solution.
Problems like these are either hardware or software. Try a clean wipe and then reflash latest stock rom for your device via Odin. Do not install too many other apps, and do not install xposed or root, etc. Keep it basic. If problems go away, then the issue is related to a troublesome app or something that was corrupted on your previous rom installation. If problems persist, then it is likely hardware (which, given the age of the device today, may not be cost effective to fix). Hope this helps.
Mine became almost useless...freezing screen, unresponsive buttons, reboots escalated from 3-4x a day to 9-10x a day, getting stuck on either the Samsung or Sprint boot screen. Push came to shove and I completely formatted and installed the phone back to stock. I can't recall which ODIN flashable version of 6.01 I found, but it worked fine for about half a day...until the phone pushed an OTA update on me. It was like a brand new phone again, but like clockwork I was right back to 3-4 reboots a day... at least it was only that.
So far I'm on day 2 of flashing "Baseband version N910PVPS4DPK1 via ODIN, installed TWRP and then installing a custom Zerolemon mod baked into the stock kernel by @lucasaddon. Give me a full week of heavy usage (I go through an IBESTWIN 10,000mah battery at least every day via streaming while I'm at work, so I've got two of these batteries) and with his permission, I'll share it here.

See this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/note-4-freezing-restarting-t3348821
The best approach so far (if you live in the US) is to send it to the Samsung repair facility in Plano, TX. It will cost anywhere from about $50 to $150 to get it fixed, but they will repair it to like new condition. I did that several months ago and mine still works flawlessly.
Good luck!!!
