I've been running gtabcomb on bootloader 1.2 for several months, but just a few days ago my tablet started acting strange. URL links from GMail or Plume would only open in Opera one out of five times. Typically Opera would pop up but nothing would happen, the URL bar would be empty. Other times I'd get a partially loaded page. The standard browser worked more reliably, but was super slow.
The tablet itself was also slow as a dog, taking several minutes to update applications, 30 seconds to load messages in GMail, and two minutes to boot.
Today I wiped and formatted and installed with flashback 10.3 (which I'd also previously run successfully) but the problems are still there. It's super slow, and Opera still isn't handling links correctly. Given that this was a full wipe I'm at a bit of a loss. I guess I'll try a 2.2 or 2.3 build next. Kind of strange that I was on several honeycomb builds with no problems for the last three or four months though.
Has anyone else experienced these kinds of extreme slowdowns that somehow transcend fresh OS installs? Could there be some sort of internal memory issue that could explain the slowness and strange app behavior?

Hello,
Early last week I put Vegan 5.1 on my gtab. Everything was working well and I had started installing a couple of apps and personalizing the device.
Friday night I downloaded Dungeon Defenders played around with it for a bit, then turned it off. Saturday morning when I turned it on everything seemed fine but then I realized it appears to have done a partial reset or something.
Some apps were suddenly missing, angry birds which was already in place and titanium which I had downloaded. (never got a chance to figure out how to use titanium)
Two apps that I installed now get force close errors at boot-up, a notepad app and Nook.
I cleared a bunch of the default bookmarks from the browser and added a few of my own, all of that was reset. My bookmarks are gone and all the stock bookmarks are back in place.
When I tried to open the market it acted like it was the first time I had used it, the user agreement popped up and I had to accept again.
Does anyone have any idea what might have caused this 'reset', and how I might keep it from happening again?
Thanks in advance.
I am running the enhancement pack with 3389. I had the exact same issue over the weekend. Some of the same apps were missing. Market was reset and was only showing very few apps.
angry birds, dolphin browser etc was missing. I am also getting a lot of random force closes.
Just as an FYI the battery didn't run out of juice.

I run vegan 5.1 with Pershoot's 1/09/2010 kernel, which I find is the most stable for Vegan on the Gtab. Solid as a rock!
Sounds like a potential issue with the internal storage. Is the tablet mounted on your pc by any chance or was the sdcard option unmounted in settings?

I have had it connected to my PC but I don't think I did at all that day.
Wasn't sure if you were referring to the internal SD or removable microSD but in either case they are both mounted and seem to be fine.

My gf uses my TF to surf the interwebz and keeps yelling at me that this thing sucks because the browser just closes randomly. I decided to test it out and see what was happening. I was browsing and then boom it just closed as i was swiping down the the page.
I have wiped and flashed different roms and still happens on stock browser.
Is it just me or has anyone else experienced it. I will try to get a logcat at some point.
Most probably an overclocked non-stock kernel?
Try Opera.

I have experienced the same issue. It is the only thing I don't like about the Transformer. I'm using the Prime ROM, happened with both v1.4 and 2.1 (both versions I used). I just assumed it was a glitch with the ROM, worth the tradeoff for other benefits it provided.
I have the stock OTA 3.2.1 and with the stock browser that happens to me as well. Very strange. Hopefully someone can figure it out.
This is a known issue, happens with most browsers but opera, firefox seems pretty good to.
When it starts closing go to manage apps, select browser and clear cache. When it gets to 25mb our so it starts closing. I clear it out every day or so and never have issues with the browser.

Well, maybe that is not what you'd like to hear, but I had similar experience with my wife's TF (yes, each of us have one ). It started with browser crashing often and continued with random crashes of lots of things and random reboots. It was in a few days after the purchase, so I just returned it to the shop and they replaced it with a new one. This happened no matter what ROM I flashed.
This may not be the case, however. You could also try checking your SD card. I read here somewhere (just search it up ) that simiar problems could be caused by a faulty SD card, because some browsers could store their cache there (although most apps will probably use the internal storage by default).
try dolphin browser
I had the same problem, using stock rom 3.2
Been using it almost 1 day and not a single problem yet
Only experienced this when I opened a crapload of tabs.
Has anyone else had a problem with WwF force closing the past couple of days? Not sure if there was an update to it or not, but as of yesterday, any time I try to play, I get a FC. Uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared cache, fixed permissions, no change. I even did a Superwipe and installed a different ROM (was having issues with Revolution anyway), and even on a clean install, with no restored apps, just downloading WwF by itself, I get a FC.
Not the end of the world, but I play this every day and I'm stumped on how to fix it if it's something on my end.
Edit: Looking at the log, it looks like one of my current games is causing the error, returning a number from the Zynga side at some point that isn't an integer, which is causing the game to crash when writing to the DB. Guess I'll have to wait til one of those games ends.
It happened to me too. I've done every from re-installing it to the compatability mode and it still crashes on me.
Me too. Looks to be program problem. Everyone noting this in the market. Does anyone have a previous release?
Well good to know it's not just me, I can stop trying to fix it myself now Weird thing is, it's just the tablet version -- the one on my Evo 3D works fine, and I'm pretty sure it's been updated as well.

ive been having issues with my wff taking a long time to update i also have the app on my phone and it updates much quicker on there vs the tablet any ideas?
Yeah same here. Maybe it's just that the synchronization is off -- I think it checks every 5 minutes, so the 5 minute loop on my phone may be happening at the 1 minute mark on my tablet. Wish you could manually refresh.
I wrote Zynga with the trace details about the error, hopefully others have too and they'll get this worked out soon.
It looks like an update came through overnight. It looks like it's working again on my Asus EEE Pad Tablet again.
Edited for the third time. Apparently Ididn't fix my problem.
So I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.3 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 (p5113***), and for some strange reason, my tablet keeps restarting randomly. I'd be reading a PDF or scrolling through some random app, and it'd suddenly freeze and the tablet would restart.
This all happened after I was typing a message on the Facebook app when it abruptly freezes and puts me through a restart loop that eventually ended. But when I finally got to startup without a crash, I'd see, almost immediately, a notification telling me that "Trebuchet has stopped responding", and my only option is to hit Ok. And I do, and most of the time, it crashes right afterwards.
At first, I was able to 'fix' (I think) this by freeing up space on my internal storage, because an app was on an update loop trying to install an update that was too big for whatever space I had left. I assumed it was eating up memory, space, and RAM and overwhelming my OS, so I uninstalled it and everything worked fine for most of the night. Later, I was reading a PDF file when Adobe just stopped working, froze, and put me through another restsart loop.
Also, I would like to point out that it is extremely difficult to turn this tablet off. It usually loops a few times before shutting down. Also, CM is updated to the latest STABLE update, which is not at all recent.
All this after Facebook crashed. I seriously have no idea what I do, and I would rather not reinstall CM, because it was an ADVENTURE trying to install it the first time, and I heard it's even more difficult and dangerous to uninstall and restore to factory settings. I'm not really good at this stuff.
Please help. Please.
*** Apparently my tablet is p5110, and the version of CM I installed was compatible with p5113, but it managed to work anyways, so I just shrugged and let it happen. And it has been working for the past 14 months, prior to the Facebook crash that started this mess.
Don't mean to bump, but I'm only replying to myself to show that my original post edit is now moot, because the problem resurfaced ... help.
I don't have a solution to you, but will share my own experience on the 5113. I have two of them. One has been stable since I bought it, except for a brief time when it had the awful first 4.2 update, eventually fixed by the MK3 firmware update. It's working fine. My other one has been a nightmare all year long, after six or eight months of stability after I bought it.
I've installed CM on in, in early June. Unstable.
I've installed Omnirom on it shortly afterward. It was more stable, but still not "stable."
Installed Ripper Rom. Worked of a couple days but was ultimately unstable.
I've recently flashed it back to the MK3 firmware via ODIN. It's still unstable.
I've determined it must be some hardware fault in the tablet, and I'm going to sell it for parts. I've bought an ASUS transformer TF701T tor replace it.
I wish you luck and hope your problem is software only. But I've heard many of these tablets go unstable after a while, and fear it is a hardware thing.

Hi everyone.
I remember some time ago I updated my phone with one of those monthly updates (cannot remember which one was was it or when, but I do perfectly remember this started happening after an update). Since then I've been experiencing issues with some apps. Just some apps fortunately and not the ones I use often.
Basically, whenever I open one of these apps it takes at least 3 minutes to load (sometimes even more), then the apps gets stuck so I get a message saying if I wanna close the app or wait so I just tap wait. Even though I've been facing these issues with apps that I don't use often it is still veeeeery annoying and now I'm bringing this issue here because I recently started using an app for college and when I need it in class I should not have to be waiting 3 or 4 minutes just to have a single app open. I tried formatting the phone and did not have any luck. Has anyone experienced something similar? Any tips on how to fix this?
Some other apps I have issues with:
-Temple Run 2
-Runtastic
-I'm Ping Pong King
-Uber
There are of course other apps I have the same issues with, I'm just mentioning a few. The games do not only take forever to load, but are laggy as hell and literally unplayable.
You could go into Apps and wipe their cache, and see if that helps. If that does not, perhaps going into TWRP and wiping cache there. If neither of those methods work . . . maybe an OS file or two have become corrupt?
You do have a TWRP backup, yes?
Are any of the apps related by a process they use, e.g. wifi, bluetooth . . . ?
