I have seen a few threads posted about random reboots and v3.1. However, my wife's Transformer will go into a cycle where it will reboot, then a minute later or less will reboot again, and keep this up for a while (not sure how long exactly).
Don't know if this is related to an incompatible app/setting or something with the OS (3.1). Is there anything I can check/do to try and prevent this?
**Edit......Forgot to mention device is unrooted running stock 3.1.
I'm facing the Sleep of Death on this TF. It was there even on Stock and is there on other ROM's also. My Transformer reboots when in sleep mode

Mine was rebooting like every 10 minutes, running 3.0.1 stock non-rooted. All I did was reset it to factory settings and the problem went away.

Why are you running 3.0.1? Upgrade to Android 3.1. It's more stable and reliable.

If I set it to factory is it going to take it back to 3.0? Or just change all the settings back?
factory reset won't rollback the firmware, it just clear all installed apps, caches and set everything to default
Hi, for some reason my Tf300 is behaving weird.
It becomes sluggish, crashes, doesn't respond to my touch.
Is there any diagnostics I can run?
It's weird, my galaxy note is a lot faster than this tablet, even with "only " a dual core.
Is this normal?
It happens more inside Dolphin Browser and when there is an update from the store happening, it freezes for seconds. Again, this is my fourth android device and none have had this issue... Even my kindle fire with cm7 was faster.
Should I restore to factory settings?
Install the latest Stock ROM and then factory reset and see if the problem is still there. Don't root or install custom recovery until you know its not a faulty unit.
How do I do that? Do I just check for updates? Any links?

If you are planning to ROOT your device you will need to wait for the OTA updates. See the Dev Forum for Rooting on .17 firmware.
If you are planning to unlock the bootloader you can apply the manual updates

How can I keep my app data/ files if I factory reset? Could I copy it all to an SD card?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA
No, I just want stock Asus. I like to keep the original os as long as possible and then root and change roms.
Anyway how do I install it? I just checked and it seems I have the latest version already installed

You could use the ASUS Backup program but to keep a copy.
But I wouldnt restore anything because it could be an application causing the slow downs.
Have you click on the performance mode in the bottom right of the screen?

If you go to Settings, About and see the build version of .29 you are on the latest.
So you don't need to update.

Just kind of general fyi - the Intl one x apparently has scaling issues, it uses the same processor as us. If your rooted, try set CPU or something of the like, and bump up the minimum clock rate. Might eat battery, but its worth a try

This thread has me worried now...
I exchanged my 16G TF300 for a 32G the other day and noticed some apps were crashing that weren't before. Everything should be clean -- just installed apps from the market and setup email.
I'm a bit confused by the concept in general. Is it common that devices will ship with bad hardware that causes intermittent issues?
EDIT: I also updated the firmware to the latest, but that was also the case with my previous 16G so I'm not expecting that to be related.
CHeck out the app system tuner. You can monitor the effects of different processes, apps, etc, and find out what is causing these problems and whether theyre related to your build,prop , cpu, or if they sold you a lemon
If your apps are acting up wipe or cold boot the *****

So recently after updating to 4.1, I have been experiencing random freezes then reboots. I factory reset my tab 3 times and none seem to have fixed it. Also it appears it only happens in performance mode. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found a fix?
Thanks

Did you make any tweaks on the system before your update? I.e. rooted or custom rom system with changing build.prop, MinFree, or anything that basically you can only do after rooting?

I'm curious as to how much RAM your tablet is using after a cold boot in balanced or perf mode.
Mine stays between 579 and 654mb no matter what.
Haven't had a crash or a freeze since the first 3 days of ownership.
Well that's a lie...I had a lot of freezes and crashing with sygic and earlier editions of some browsers.

I thought it was just me. I've been playing The Bard's Tale on it and got the update the same night. I, too, have noticed random reboots where the game will freeze, and then 5 seconds later the tablet is rebooting. I honestly thought it was the game, but since you're saying it happens to you on Performance mode only, and that is exactly where I am as when I am playing the game, maybe it is performance mode and not hte game causing mine as well.
if that is the case, chalk me up for these random reboots as well.

I don't think that will help as 1) I have neither of those two apps, and 2) mine happened when I was not connected to a dock at all.

To fix this reboot and screen blank out, you guys need to reflash the full version of JB.

Might not be a bad idea. But a full install won't allow us to use root keeper methods, so we'd then have to wait for a new root method, right?
I'll deal with the idiosyncrasies until i can root JB and then "blob" my pad (I've been dying to say that, can't you tell?).

To root a JB locked bootloader=NO, but for unlocked bootloader=YES. Another way to solve the reboot/screen issue and keep root is to downgrade to .30 (full version), root, then OTA root keeper to save root then let the JB OTA upgrade back to JB, then restore root.

That is exactly what I did. I'll test later this evening, but so far it has been a lot snappier *and* no random reboots.
But, I've also not run performance mode either.

What's the point of doing this? I was already on .30 to begin with, ran Debugfs rooted .30 and OTA rootkeeper backed up, and I got the OTA update from JB a week later, which had the SOD issue. Why downgrade and upgrade?

The point is it's going to solve your random reboot/blank screen issue. Most of people did exactly what you did included myself, but once you are on JB and experiencing reboot and blank screen, you need to reflash because the install did not done correctly some how. If you reflash a full version of JB, it will fixed the issue but then you don't have root, this is not a problem if you're unlocked. So if you still have locked bootloader, you need to downgrade with full version of .30 then re root. when you install a full version it automatically wipe for you so you don't need to wipe before downgrade. Once you have a fresh install of .30, now you can use OTA to upgrade to JB and keeping root.
Ah gotcha. Well in this case, I might as well just unlock my bootloader and flash [ROM][10/3][JB4.1.1] - Stock Root Odex / De-Odex - 10.4.4.16 Base since it's stock based minus bloatware?

Sure you could do that, but I'm waiting for Zeus Rom. This rom is amazing with I/O.
Actually, could the problem be the idle clock speed? I don't recall the TF700 having a 51mhz speed. I thought lowest multiplier was 102mhz. Perhaps that's why it is freezing/sod
I'm gonna raise my min clock speed at 102mhz and see if it freezes any more

Well, I had the same issue on ICS stock and custom rom and JB so I don't think this is anything to do with reflashing, but our old friend IO.
Like people have mentioned before ,change the number of background processes to 4.
I believe this deserves a dedicated thread in case people had missed. 100% of credit goes to sbdags, so if you are going to thank someone, its him.
Step 1: Download http://db.tt/OUJoooGU
This is google's chrome sync apk. I believe you don't even need to turn on Unknown developer to install this i.e. trusted apk. You definitely don't need root, or unlock.
Step 2: Install the apk
Step 3: Go to Setting > Account > Google and click your Gmail account
Step 4: You should now have Browser option added, which should be unchecked at this point. So simply check it.
Step 5: You may or may not need this step but I did not see bookmark immediately after step 4. So I clicked Autosync on the ASUS menu bar off, and back on.
If this helps, please hit thanks on a post below by sbdags.
Ooh my own thread thanks.
Seriously though all I did was extract this from a previous ics tibu backup.
Glad to offer some service to xda
If someone wants to add to custom Roms or host elsewhere feel free to do so.

Very strange. I've done this couple times and never had that issue. If your browser is truly gone, you have to find a browser.apk or perhaps better off factory reset as I am not sure why such strange behavior happened.

It is in system/app but wont let me install. This post totally screwed up my tablet. When I try to install the apk from system/app it tries to install it and then says "application not installed". This happened after I installed the file posted in this thread. My stock browser is completely gone
Even after factory reset, stock browser is gone completely. How can that be? Can someone please help. Is there any way to revert? This is the last thing I needed now.
I did vol down + pwr and wipe data and still, browser is gone. Someone pls help me.
Is anyone else having a problem getting the sync to stick across reboots? It'll re-sync just fine after a restart, but the account bookmarks won't show up until I do that. I have Browser2RAM installed, if that matters.
----- edit: and I'll leave the above in place for anyone else that experiences this problem -----
I fixed this by removing the Browser2RAM .apk, rebooting and making sure the synced data was still present, and then reinstalling. The sync has survived some adb shell reboots and power off/power on cycles.

Sorry I don't understand how this file has 'removed' your browser.apk. I have installed this personally on 2 infinities and now on a prime all upgraded to stock JB. There must be something else you have done. Many others have installed it and it works fine.
If browser.apk is in system/apps then it is still installed. Why are you trying to install it? Have you accidentally disabled it - check apps? Do you have titanium backup installed? If so check if it is frozen and also ask it to clear unwanted apps from dalvik cache.
Finally if you have a custom recovery installed then do a clean cache and clean dalvik cache and reboot. If not at least try a cold boot.

Are you running custom rom?
im running UKB custom rom and this does not work for me either and now my internet does sync anymore :?
Downloaded and applied the apk file, nothing out of the ordinary/expected happened.
Had a little confusion getting my chrome bookmarks into the stock browser. It appears that if you have a custom passphrase for chrome sync then sync to the native browser will not work. I deleted sync data on my chrome dashboard and then re-enabled it from my desktop machine without a passphrase. This got sync to the stock browser on the tf700 working.
Thank you. The apk worked perfectly fine in my Note 2 (N7102). Safe me the trouble to key in everything again.
I tried also on my Galaxy S4 (I9505), but it was not working! Hope you are going to work on a new version that will do the same magic!
Thank you.

Perform a cold boot but holding down the power button and the volume down button, then once there are three icons select the "Android" by using the volume down button and select it using the volume up button, it will cold boot. Should help.

Going through the process of putting icons and stuff back where I remember them.
I wish I remember the Appbackup only backs up apps and not the other folders on the Internal Storage, but I'm not worried as I had nothing on it of any significant importance.
Tablet is operating fine ATM, no slug performance that I was experiencing prior to the hard factory reset.
