I've tried a couple of ROMs, stock, unrooted, wipes, full formats and all manner of configurations, and I'm beginning to wonder if this might be a hardware problem with bad RAM or something. Before I send it to Asus, I'd like to see if anyone has fixed this problem. I've had a ***** of a time researching this because any terms I used result in worthless hits on Google. I have found a couple of people with the issue, but no one has posted a fix yet.
If I browse an image-heavy forum thread on any forum with any browser (Opera, Dolphin, Stock, Lastpass) apps will start closing by themselves. First Screeble, then the browser. It acts as if I've hit the home button, but when I restart the browser I get my home page. This occurs even after a full wipe without any apps installed.
I have a RAMdump file that shows a kernel panic and a shutdown of one of the cores, but that's about all I can figure out. I can post it if anyone can make sense of it.
Hi.
Unfortunately I do not have a solution for you but I wonder if we are experiancing the same problem.
When it starts accting up, if you turn your wifi off and back on does it show an error?
If it is causing FC's you probably have faulty hardware, and should return to store or RMA. If you've got the dump with the KP, attach it here, and try to repeat it,

I've been having this really annoying problem lately, where apps just refuse to finish downloading whenever I'm on 3G. They usually go to maybe 25% or so, then just stop there. I can even have full bars and that happens to me.
Whats weird though is that my internet is just as fast as it should be, especially when I use the browser or anything that involves surfing the internet. I've tried many different roms and no matter what I still get this problem. When I'm on WiFi though the apps update or download just fine.
Anyone know of a fix/ have come across this problem as well?

Since you tried different roms, that would rule out most software issues. Have you tried deleting and reinstalling market? Have you flashed it back to stock and did a master clear? Could possibly be a hardware issue? If its still under warranty, I would flash it back to stock and see about trading it in.
I haven't tried flashing back to stock because I figured, like you said, it may be a hardware issue. But its weird that its only affecting the market though
You never know...its worth a shot. And another thing...if you are performing backups through Titianium Backup...are you backing up and restoring system data? That has also known to cause problems.
The route I would take to troubleshoot this...I would do a flash back to stock and master clear. And do absolutely nothing else to it, just for troubleshooting purposes. That way you know you are starting on a stock fresh clean slate. Get logged into the market and test. If it continues to do it, I would do a warranty exchange. If it fixes it, then you know you have something going on with your configuration or maybe corrupt data.
I have this problem on Wifi when I use the Bill to Account method of payment. If I use my credit card billing, there is no issue. If I want a smooth app purchase from Market using the Bill to method I have to go via 3G. Might not be related, but thought I'd mention it.
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.
wwf
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.
Hi guys, i was playing a game called F18 Carrier Landing, when my phone froze. I long held the power button so that it could reboot. After it rebooted, i unlocked it, and it gave me the interface as if i freshly flashed a new rom or i did a factory reset (the interface asking about google and setting up accounts). So, i completed that and once my home screen popped up, i faced a few force closes, from titanium backup, my anti-virus software Avast, and various other applications. I was very freaked out at this point. I remember reading something about fixing permissions if i faced constant force closes, so i rebooted to recovery and fixed permissions. Booted up fine, still missing data, but no force closes. But my google maps does not seem to work, i open it and it opens to the orange-ish checkerboard backing, but then force closes. I'm not exactly sure what to do at this point. Can anyone advise me on what to do or if this ever happened to them? For reference, i'm still on Froyo (don't ask why) 2.2.1, ROM's Audiophile Redux by Raver. If you require additional info to help me find a solution, i will gladly comply. Thanks!
EDIT1: I uninstalled my Maps with Titanium and restored a really old version from September of last year, and it seems to be working. Or atleast it opens and loads.
EDIT2: It seems to only load apps stored on my internal/phone storage. As i checked Applications in settings, the SD tab was empty as if there are not apps from the SD card installed, what can i do about this?
This has happened to many of us on GB. Crazy it happened on Froyo. You are going to need to reinstall your missing apps. If it is similar to what happened to us your phone factory reset on it's own.
Alright thanks, when it happened i thought it was a pretty serious problem, but as i restore my apps from Titanium, i realize it's not that bad. Just glad to know i wasn't alone on this ordeal. I plan on hopping onto AOKP or maybe MIUI when my contract ends, this phone is just to valuable to me at the moment. They both seem so fast and amazing, plus AOKP has themes. K, so quick question, do you know the reason behind this, i mean, is my SD corrupted or something? I can still play the music and the videos from it on my phone, but i don't understand why it wouldn't read the apps on the SD.
None of us have nailed down the cause unfortunately.
Thanks anyways, up and running with most of my apps back. Gotta get around to flashing a new ROM someday. So many good one's coming out!

Basically what the title says. I own a snapdragon P905 version and I'm experiencing sleep of death on the device. It was rooted before but then the problem started ocurring and I did a factory reset but that didn't fix the problem.
Any ideas would be apreciated.
SOLUTION
It seems that reflashing a stock firmware form SAMMOBILE solved the problem for me. At least no problems ocurred since I reflashed it. Cheers, I hope it helps someone else too.
EDIT: Nop, that didn't solve it, the SOD was back after an hour or so... back to the drawing board...
What changed in that hour? Perhaps an application that was recently updated by it's developer is causing issues?

No, BUT, it seems i made a mistake by not wiping the device because, after I used ODIN to flash the alternative firmware my data wasn't deleted and I didn't have to setup the device or my apps.
Note that I have only the bare essentials installed on the tablet (Dolphin browser, facebook, battlefield battlelog, battlefield commander, BS player, splashtop 2, and hancom office - not the viewer).
I've read on some other devices the wifi module causes the SOD, I'll try disabling the wifi first. If that doesn't work I'll try installing TWRP and wiping cache/dalvik to see if that brings me anywhere. If not, I'll start picking off my apps one by one.
I didn't have enough time to do any of the things I said I'd do in the last post BUT, the Sleep Of Death was gone for 3 days untill I installed facebook and dolphin browser yesterday. Now it's back again!? I uninstalled both apps but the SOD is still here. No clue on how it went away on its own, and why it won't go away again...
I'm still looking for some fresh ideas.
EDIT: It seems that factory reset does the job, and I can install my basic apps and it works fine for a day... BUT if I leave it over night I can't turn the screen on in the morning, and the SOD is back every time after that.
EDIT 2: It was the broken micro sd card I frogot I put into the tablet...
Same here. Didn't happen at first. Now when screen goes off, I have to reboot. I am certain I will track this down.... But it's currently frustrating

@canezila - Perhaps a corrupted SD card as noted in cavkic's last update?
I don't believe it is this. As best that I know, it's working well.
