I've come a across random posts and threads in which people have reported their transformers just dying.
I ordered one along with my Co worker and we got it on the 29th.
His just randomly died today.
I'm curious if this is really that widespread of a problem or really unlucky people.
Please reply here if your transformer died. Please only post if it died, not if you were able to bring it back somehow.

I thought mine had died but it had just gone into a coma. Has he held down the power button for about 10-15 (force power off), and then held it in again for about 3 seconds to turn it back on? It's definitely a problem that several people here have.
Yeah I have the same issue with mine but doing the force power off and the 3 second power push always gets it back up.

Mine froze on me earlier today for about 5 minutes (I could turn the screen on/off but that was all), about 5 or 10 minutes later I was able to force a power off and turned it back on. Only happened that one time and I'm not sure what caused it.
Are any of you guys using auto-brightness by any chance?
This happened to me a few times after I changed it from manual to auto-brightness. I changed it back today and everything seems to be working as before so far.
Well mine is dead, flat dead. Worked great for about 12 hours It is charged, (I have kept it plugged in) I have tried many different combos of sequences on the power button, my volume and power buttons feel good (some report stuck buttons), no life. But hey, when it was working I liked it a lot.

Yesterday while toggling airplane mode I got a reboot. First yet and it was on gingerbread..i just had another one while accident pressing power for too long..
the phone reboots just holding power even if the screen is off. Maybe just maybe this button is getting pressed for too long I their pockets or just pressing power to toggle airplane mode and its rebooting. Or maybe something with this function bugging out...
Anyone else notice phone reboots just holding power for too long?
Edit:Im almost positive this is what caused my reboots
My phone was on the charger last night only for me wake up and it was off. Full battery when I powered it on.
Doubt its being turned off my accident.

As I said, some people.. Maybe some is legit but others are this issue..
Or like I said, something related to that. Maybe bugging out or something.. Just seems weird that holding power causes a reboot.
A lot of my reboots were spontaneous when I wasn't even touching the phone. Also when it was charging overnight.

Maybe somehow the phone off has a bug thinking the power button is being held in or just that function bugging out when the phone is off...
Dont know just a thought.but I'm positive this rebooted mine.
Definitively not by accident!! And the damn thing reboots by itself every 5mn for a few times while I was watching it doing that while plugged in, then turns off by itself in the middle oh the night, I'm getting another one, and another one until I get a working one with no light bleed. I'll receive my 3rd one in a few days.

Mine just did it again. I didn't have the problem on the stock rom, CM7, EaglesBlood or any other rom aside from the unofficial Gingerbread leak.
The rom itself it very nice considering CM7 has weird issues of its own, but resetting/locking up is a big no-no.
As I said earlier my phone was off this morning after flashing the leaked rom last night. I wiped several times this morning, flashed Eaglesblood, wiped again, and again, flashed the leaked Gingerbread, wiped and wiped again.
Set the phone up but didn't install any apps (testing). Cooked breakfast; fine, watched a TV show; fine, took a shower; fine, got dressed; fine, stepped outside for a second; locked up.
The phone was on because when I pressed the power button the touch panel lit up. The lockscreen showed for a second then went out. Then it was unresponsive. I held the power button down for a few seconds, which turned the phone off, then held it again to turn it back on.
Sucks. Must be the rom. Weird why the stock didn't do it, nor others. Others are claiming theirs are fine.
It is SO weird how these problems aren't across the board and are so random. Everything points to a kernel which wasn't included in the lacked build. Hopefully when the official one comes out, we'll get an updated kernel to go with it.
I think it's the overheating problem. My first phone was very hot and had 3 reboots in 5 days. New one I have has no reboot yet and doesn't get as hot like the other one. PCs get BSOD or freezing when overheating. G2X gets Black Screen of Death and freezing.

This could very well be. especially since a lot of people have reboots when charging and that generally makes the phones temp higher...
Luckily I'm good...
If I had the rebooting problem, I would definitely exchange my device. I haven't had any reboots or freezes though.

U could be right but my phone shuts down a few times right after charging. But then for the rest of the night it won't shut down anymore. Sometimes it shuts down in the middle of the night too, it's very randomly. How do u explain that?

I would too. That **** would annoy me...
My HOS is 2 weeks old today. I have rooted it (unlocked BL) and spent many hours with it...kept the stock ROM for now.
I had been using it today and last night and the battery was low so I plugged in the charger (using AC outlet), and left it on. I went back to it 20-25 minutes later and it was extraordinarily hot (I realize this happens...I posted on a thread 2 weeks ago when my phone first overheated to this degree). I saw that like the first time this phone overheated (which was within 48 hours after purchasing it) it wasn't charging. Similarly, this time, the battery showed only ~halfway charged. In my experience, it only takes about 20 minutes to fully charge it... so I was concerned.
I decided to power it off and keep it charging--hoping that the heat would lessen and it would just cool off and charge.
However, I checked it now (perhaps 2 hours later after powering off), and it won't even start. I plugged it in again and waited about a minute (thinking maybe somehow the battery drained), but no luck.
This never happened to me with my last HTC... I have never not had a phone not power up... this seems really weird.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
Mine takes longer than 20mins to charge.....however its not good if it wont even power on, you gotta take it back
Have you tried to power it on by holding the power & volume down button?

Yes, I tried booting into recovery.. No luck... This is so frustrating because I have not really dropped it or got it wet or anything. I don't like the thought that it might have overheated and caused permanent damage.
I will take it back today I guess... Is 14 days still within the return/replace period? I won't even say I rooted it.. Just that it stopped working. Although I will be irritated to have to unlock the bootloader and root a new one.
I am wondering... Is there a way to power up the phone using ADB??
Thank you
unless your phone is recognised in ADB, No !
Well...good news, I think anyway...I tried taking the SIM card out and it didn't do anything so I left it alone plugged in for maybe an hour.
But.....
When I later looked at it, it was on again, and..it had booted into recovery. I had tried earlier to do this as mentioned above, but nothing happened (using power on and holding the volume rocker down:
So after putting the SIM card in it was fine...go figure.
Thanks for the replies!

I installed BeanStalk a couple days ago (note: I'm not blaming BeanStalk or think it is a BeanStalk issue, rather I believe it to be an issue with my battery or hardware) and yesterday I got a random reboot. Looking at the phone, I see the initial Samsung screen followed by the Galaxy S/CyanogenMod screen. The two would continually repeat. I removed the battery and as soon as I place it back in, the cycle starts over again. I don't even have to press power for it to turn on. Once I got home, I plugged the phone into my charger and it starts to charge and it turns on.
Today, it happens again. This time however, the phone won't charge at all. If I plug it into a charger, I see the battery icon and it then goes away. This is followed by the wheeled progress icon. That too goes away and the cycle repeats.
Has anyone else experienced this (a search wasn't fruitful)? I should have a new battery in a couple days. In the mean time, I've started using my N900 again. What a great device it is! Truly a shame Nokia didn't go Android.
Thanks,
cesman
Sounds like power button problem( if held it restarts phone over and over and over till button no longer is pressed)

Thanks for the replies. I found the thread and the site to order a new button. I'll take the phone apart and see what I can do about cleaning it first...
Bad Battery, Bad-Bad Battery. Now go to your room you Bad Battery.

I heated the joints around the button as suggested in one of the threads. This unfortunately didn't work. I found a shop near me that was able to replace the button. Funny thing, the guy in line front of my also has an Infuse and had the same problem.
Hi,
i have very strange issue which i noticed right now. It seems that i can not turn on my mobile/screen. I have to say that mobile is bought less then month ago and no modifications are made like rooting or something like that. Today it worked without any problems and when i got home i left it on my desk but two hours later i wanted to check for my e mail but screen/mobile is not turning on. I checked on/off button and it's not jammed. What else can i do considering that i can not remove the battery

Charge the phone. Could be dead. Are you SURE nothing has been modified? Also, hold down the power button until you see the capacitive buttons flashing, and don't let go until they stop flashing and the phone reboots.
Battery probably died. This phone is known to lose power abruptly. It's happened to nearly everyone at some point--it will appear to have some charge left and then suddenly drop to 0%.
Just leave it plugged in for a while and see if it revives.
nothing helped from what you mentioned but it works now. When i plugged in the charger there was no sign of charging. When i pressed and hold power button also nothing happened. Then i tried to hold volume down and power button but also no reaction from the phone and then i pressed the mobile bit harder around display to check that maybe there is no loose wire and at this point mobile turned on by itself (boot screen) and after booting there was crash report. I have HTC phones for years now and such problem never occurred to me before but phone works for now :good:
thank you
Hopefully it isn't a defect, my one x has never went off on me at a random battery percentage, except for some ROMs he he
As mentioned, some people have had instances of randomly losing charge, or phone not seeming to take a charge after running the battery down. Leaving the phone on the wall charger (not USB, which takes much longer) for several hours (overnight) and then trying to power on seems to solve the problem. One guy here could not get any response (even after charging for hours) except by holding the power button while the phone was on the charger.
The issue seems completely random. So unless it persists, probably nothing to worry about.
My phone has been acting weird the past couple days. It would randomly reboot but when it rebooted, I would have to hard reset it for it to completely boot up. For the past couple days it would happen a couple times a day. Today it was doing it almost every hour. I was just waiting to get home from work so I could back up the phone and wipe and then it just turned off. I couldn't get it turned back on. When I plugged it into the charger it turns on the Google logo and then reboots over and over again. When I unplug it, it shuts off. I can't even get it to boot into recovery or bootloader because it keeps rebooting every couple seconds.
Just a guess, but I think you're power button is shorting out. See what others think.

Yea I've seen it in another post. That doesn't explain why the phone keeps rebooting as soon as I plug it in. But I have noticed that for the past couple days, the power button was becoming really sensitive as in I would hit the power button to turn the screen off and then it would immediately turn the screen back on. But if its a hardware issue then there's nothing I can do but contact Google to send me a replacement.

I think as soon as you plug it in the battery gets enough charge that it boots but then the power button shorts out and it reboots

I tried tapping on the phone by the button and it turns on the phone for a little bit. Same thing if I wiggle the power button. I'm convinced that's the issue.
