[Q] Ghost mode? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My TF has randomly been going into what I called the ghost mode where it has a mind of its own.
It for some reason restarts, then hangs on the title screen "EEE Pad" until the battery runs out. It happens during the night and I wake up to a 90% dead tablet and miss all my alarms.
I have to reset it manually to get it out of ghost mode.
Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a fix other than reinstalling the whole thing?

Its a bug in ICS. Had you spent 10sec searching you wouldve found a lot of threads regarding this

I found the following workaround, my Transformer has been running 2 days without any problem, the solution drains battery (about 1% per hour) but until ASUS fixes the problem, this is one option you can try.

Transformer random reseting

My transformer has been resetting on its own and randomly. Its stock with the newest update and not rooted.
I also have mad issues with the deep sleep. Have not been able to narrow down the problem. Hardware?
Anyone else getting the same problem?
Try doing a full factory reset, Settings -> Privacy -> Factory Data Reset. Do not forget to backup your data first.

Yesterday I had the transformer sitting in sleep mode next to me while I was doing some work on the desktop and saw the ASUS start up logo come on the Transformer. I have only had this tablet for six days, but this is the first restart on it's own that I have observed. I also have had three episodes of the deep sleep issue.
Edit: Right after I posted this, I looked down and the ASUS logo had appeared again from sleep mode. Go figure...
I've seen this on my 32gb unit. I'd be doing something and turn away a moment, when I looked back I would see the Asus boot logo. It's sneaky though and I have yet to catch it in the act at the exact moment of reboot. The deep sleep lockup has happened a few times as well.

Very very very bad issue

Ok so here's my problem. I remotely installed an app to my tranformer from my laptop and it installed successfully but when i went to check up on the install my tablet started acting wierd and many apps stopped responding. i just fc the apps and noticed my transformer was fast. Too fast as in whenever i started an app it would start right after i touched it. Also whenever i was on the home screen and i touched anywhere on the screen it would instantly register as a long-hold touch. Anyone run into this issue? Very wierd. Tried powering off the tablet which worked but waiting a couple minutes first be4 turning it on. The loading circle beside the powering off text literally spun around 50 times extremely quickly withing the first second.
Have you removed whatever app it was you installed?
What's the problems? Everyone around here would kill to get a fast as heck TF.

Maybe he managed to OC it to like 4Ghz/core ?
No, but I agree. Apart from the clicking issue it sounds like your TF is what everyone wants their to be
More information would be needed, what was the application you installed? What rom you are using? ICS or honeycomb? Overclocked?
Put it in a microwave. That should slow it back down.

[Q] Screen blackout... Elegancia ICS Sense 4 Rom

Hi,
I have quite a weird problem...
I have to pop out the battery to restart the phone nearly every day.
The screen just blacks totally out and the phone will not respond to anything.
The phone is not dead, I know this because I can hear messages and incoming calls but I cannot do anything about it since the screen is all black (turned off).
Experience? Workaround? Advice?
Update: The screen actually wakes up to show me the phone call or the message, but I cannot do anything about it. So it seems rather that some services on the phone is stuck and, as said, only way to get the phone working again is to reboot by taking the battery.
I came across the same problem and I wasn't able to fix it till now.
I did a full-wipe two times and restored only the basic apps.
I have no idea anymore.
"adb reboot" is an alternative solution.

Phone freezes up

Has anyone experienced your U11+ freezing up.
It has happened to me about 3 times.
It generally happens over night while it's charging. I get up one of those mornings and the green light is on, remove the charging cable and I can't wake up the phone. I can't even turn off the phone by pressing and holding the power button to kill the device. The only way is to put it into download mode by simultaneously holding down the vol down key and power key, and then when the menu comes up to select the reboot option to get the phone back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what could be causing this to happen?
The problem is that I use my phone as my alarm clock, and when it freezes up, my alarm doesn't work.
Any suggestions anyone?
No problem like that until now.
However, noticed sometimes that the my alarm, which is setup for vibration only, only vibrates once and then continues silently alarming until I turn it off.
Happens randomly but still strange. I've to try with another clock app.
That's really odd.
I'm going to turn off the always - on feature and see if I get anymore freezes. I had another one this afternoon.
I'll report back after some time and let you know if there has been no more freezes.
I'm just updating to the latest update 1.23.709.3 and see also how it performs.
I'm a bit concerned about this random freezing that I have experienced since I got this device.
If it persists I may ask for a new one.

I'm still on the October security patch so I'm expecting one for the December period soon I hope.
In regards to your freezes I've not encountered anything like that so far been working flawlessly so far if there is anything I can test let me know
I have the Taiwan version.
If you could try the always-on feature for a couple of days and nights and report back, that would be awesome. However, I selected the option, for always-on to only come on when I moved the phone. (good for night time use especially)
I had my phone in the pocket yesterday afternoon and it froze.
As I stated earlier, I can only restart the phone only by putting it into download mode and reboot from there.

Thanks for letting me know.
I guess I can rule that feature out as a probable cause.
It must be some other app that's causing this issue. But it's a pain to go through the process of finding out which one.

Yeah trial and error isn't fun. I'd probably factory reset though and see if it happens with barely any third party apps installed.

I have the HK model I think and I had the AOD when I first got it, set to motion and nothing has happened to my phone in regards to freezing fingers crossed. I have disabled it for the moment as I noticed a greater battery usage overall, I believe between 9-10% overnight and only 2% when I had it disabled.
Hopefully you find the problem otherwise see if you can get it replaced...
Since not using the always-on feature, I don't have any more freezes. Must be some conflict with the alarms and always-on. Can't see what else could be causing those freeze ups.
My phone surprisingly just froze up yesterday. But at least it's been a long while since not having the always-on feature enabled. With always-on enabled, it seems to have happened every day.
The issue I have most about this, is missing that important call when I haven't realised that the phone is frozen, because sometimes I don't pick up the phone for hours.
I had to do a complete fresh install from scratch and I have no more issues. I believe all my issues came from using HTC's transfer tool when going from u11 to u11+. Importing all the settings features using the Transfer Tool has caused issues. I'll never use this tool again.
All good now.

Strange Reboot/Bootloop on Stock Nord

Hi,
I experienced for the second time some strange incident on my OP Nord (eu). When I looked on my phone it had this OP Bootupscreen with the one red and two white moving Dots but it didnt start up. The dots where moving for about 15 minutes. I had to press Vol up + on/off button to shut down the Phone and then Start it again to get it up and running again.
The first Time I was in the Car listening to some music. The Phone was via BT to the Car Radio connected and played Music with the app Musicolet. After a short stop at a store it didnt connect again with the radio. I had a look on the Nord and saw this issue the first time.
The second time, I used it with some messaging apps, placed it on my desk, wanted to use it around 10 minutes later again and had this Bootup Failure a second time.
Had anybody of you some simlar Problem? Or maybe an Idea what could be wrong?
The Nord is not rooted or manipulated in any other way. Just standard Phone with the Latest OP Updates installed.
Kind Regards
Yes I had the same problem. I had to use Vol up + on/off button aswell, but it worked again after that. I just had it in my pocket and didnt do anything and when I put it out of my pocket I had the bootlogo as well. Strangely I had this also the second time as you said.
Random reboot force restart
Same to me 12gb version about 5th time now this has happened.. As other members say. You only notice it if your looking for at the screen. Had to do same it booted up into safe mode 1st. Have have seen on the Oneplus forums that some phone auto goto factory reset lucky that hasn't done that for me. However it does make you choose your default Internet search engine each time and my Google one account resets again... Anyone any idea of the cause any Dev / programmer's on here know the cause yet. As you all say its random done it to me while in pocket car and work desk.. Bloody annoying
Yes! Same problem here.
Strange auto reboot and gets stuck after connecting bluetooth sometimes, or while just simply decreasing volume . Screen goes unresponsive many times while using Google chrome and handling media on whatsapp. Mobile data and wifi would take 10-20 secs to turn on sometimes, don't know why!
DAMN! THIS PHONE HAS A TON OF BUGS THAT INTERFERE WITH DAY-TO-DAY TASKS!
Happened to me once too
Happened to me too a couple of times on EU firmware.
On the forum it's been madness with this , they issued a statement that they are full on it . But there were some users suggesting that it was caused by the forgot password option , and if pattern was used there was no problem. This though , was not confirmed. I have the phone about a week , i've been using pattern since my first android . Nothing has happened to me . Did anyone of you use pattern ? Or everyone had a password/ PIN ? If so , try using pattern lock to see if it happens again...maybe it could be a chance to pinpoint the root of it and save other users...
It happened 2 times when I used face unlock. I stopped using a locking method and no random reboots since, but there was also updates recently so dunno...
Happened twice
