I am trying to get a rom that doesn't do this, has this issue been resolved? I can lay my device down at random times and I will come back to the device at the Asus screen locked up. Thanks in advanced tried the search filter maybe my keywords weren't correct. Thanks to all.
Found? lol no no one has 'found' one..lmao
We don't 'find' ROMs here, we develop them (or rather THEY do, I don't yet).
The reboot issue seems to be related to the kernel, and all the ROMs use the Asus kernel (with the exception being blades' new kernel, but it still suffers reboots). So there isn't a solution yet. A few workarounds, preventative measures or wive's tales that 'remedy' or make them 'less frequent', but no solutions.

Wonder what applications are running in your TF. The same thing here with my TF. No reboots, no SODs...
However, after posting in several threads about my luck..
here they come... reboot.... reboot... reboot... simply by opening market...
The only thing I like?... no battery drain!
Just accept it until xda devs will figure out the best solution!
Cheers!
Hi

This is the situation, there is not definitive solution yet, people gets different results with same or different ROMs, its purely luck if you don't have Reboots or freezes, the solution should be something kernel related, most probably tegra2 drivers (as it has been tweeted by gnufabio few weeks ago)

This is just an example of users happy with their ROM without issues, but it is just luck.
AOKP and CM9 with cornerstone never rebooted on me. With the Blades kernel I had a few reboots but nothing serious.
Then again I don't have any nvidia tegra gaming stuff installed.

I run a pretty full range of apps. I use the GPS a fair bit, lots of web surfing with flash as well as email. I do lot of games including a handful of Tegra 2 games. Only issues I have right now is Angry Birds Space freezing, but that is common accross all platforms as well. DOes not cause reboot.
I can go from using it all day to leaving it idle for 3-4 days. I never power it down and have left it off the charger for days in a row. I do tend to leave it on the keyboard dock nearly all the time, but it does see some time off dock.
One thing to add, when I first flashed to Revolver ICS, I foolishly flashed an OC kernel for HC. Needless to say I bricked it. Took me 1/2 a day to get it going again after flashing back to stock HC, then stock ICS and finally Revolver ICS. Been up ever since then and that was over 3 weeks ago, more likely 4+. Only time I get a reboot is if I initialize it. No sleep/freezing issues other than the noted single instance.
I call this luck of the draw and likely as to why ASUS can't figure it out since this problem seems like a some have it and some don't thing.
And yet I got a random reboot on a brand new install of pure stock 9.2.1.17 that I had nvflashed within 12 hours, and with blades kernel forget about it.. every hour reboot, and then on pure stock again I got splash screen boot loops..
I have never been experiencing the reboots either, but I only tried Android Revolution HD and CyanogenMod.
For some reason however, I will experience sleeps of death soon as I configure the Wi-Fi to shutdown when the screen is off.

Same here. Was running a stock rooted version of ICS with Revolver 4 flashed over the top (I know this wasn't recommended, but I did it one night by accident, and it solved the other issues I was having with Revolver.
I moved on to CodeName Android after the other ICS ROMs pulled ahead. I haven't had the issue there either.
I don't know what the deal is.....but I'm thankful I don't have the issue! And even if I did, I only consume media on my transformer. So I can't say that it'd be a big deal.
1 and 1/2 days without a reboot
Turned off face unlock..... guess I'm not handsome enough to wake up my tablet. But I have wifi on as well. I will report but it seems to be running better.
I tried out some ICS builds, none of them are close to ready for daily use as I use my TF as my primary workstation as I'm out and about a lot of the time.
One thing that really matters to me is GPS strength as I use offline navigation (sygic) and before upgrading to ICS I had great signal strength.
I used the super wipe (full wipe version) zip from ARHD mike1986 and reflashed a fresh install of revolver 3.11, which was my main daily driver before ICS.
However, my GPS signal strength isn't much better than it was on ICS, and I'm not sure what happened? I then used the NVflash version to ensure a clean install, although I'm pretty sure the super wipe zip does the same thing, just from recovery.
Does the ICS ROMs somehow change low level code aspects of the tablet that remain even after a full wipe?
I feel like my TF has been ruined by these ICS builds.
Any ideas?

Yes, ICS is a big fail with GPS, but honeycomb used to work great.
I'm back on HC 3.2.1 and it's not much better, so I fear something has been royally screwed up by whatever installing ICS did?
It's nice to be back on revolver 3.11, stuff just works again (GPS excluded) . I'm staying away from ICS builds for at least 2-3 months until it's reliable.
Mine has actually improved with ICS. I regularly obtain a lock within 5-6 seconds. With HC it took the GPS a minimum of a minute to lock.
So. I am a moderately happy owner of a TF101. It was running ICS .17 and I had all sorts of issues with it, from RR to SOD to sound disappearing.
The SOD vanished when I set it to turn wifi off when screen was off, the sound and reboots were "fixed" by turning the device off if I expected to be more than 1 or 2 hours away from it.
However, I still experienced graphics corruption in some games (Angry Birds Space, Anomaly: Warzone Earth) and on the youtube app, to name the ones on the top of my head. I checked Wolf's guide to downgrade, rooted my TF101 and while I was waiting for the blob download to finish, Asus pushed the .21 FOTA on my tab.
I am a regular user who ran the device without root for 2 months, I have no special needs besides stability and no headaches.
So, the question is: was HC all that better? I mean Asus FW, WW 8.6.6.23. Was it really that much better than ICS to justify a downgrade?
EDIT: First milestone passed, 20 hours of uptime, no issues at all. So far, so good. I even noticed better video compatibility with some of my old divx4 and mpeg files
EDIT 2: 50 hours of uptime, no issues at all, games working perfectly (not a single crash or video corruption in Angry Birds Space). I am really really happy with the downgrade

Thanks for the reply
I know how to downgrade. What I really want to know is if it is worth the time.
Is the Asus Honeycomb firmware really much more stable and almost issues free?
Or people are just so pissed with the issues on ICS that they are overpraising HC?
I did not had the tablet with HC long enough to know on my own.
Most people just didn't wipe going to the latest version and think that flashing back to HC will fix all of their problems.
Really, if you are happy with ICS and SOD/RR's are at a minimum, definately stick with it. The features in ICS very much outweigh one or two less RR's a week.

Yes, Honeycomb was that much more stable. As soon as I'm done testing for Asus, I will be going back to Honeycomb - it's rock solid.
Yu do need to downgrade via NVFlash, or the ICS problems persist, even in Hoenycomb...

Then I am out of luck, mine is a B70, not sure of the SBK, but I believe it is incompatible.
Anyway, tried to downgrade using Wolf's method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622628 ) and testing now.
Will stick with it for at least a month to draw fair conclusions.
Let's see how that goes.

That is exactly my belief. I wiped mine before going to ICS that seemed to fix my issues. My two main issues were battery drain & not deep sleeping. I never had a SOD & only a couple of random reboots.
Other people have reported that once they flash back to HC, they are having the same issues. I am with the belief that wiping is the key for some anyway.

Oh, believe me, I have wiped more times that I care to admit - believe me, wiping is NOT the solution!! Unless we are talking about more than one problem...

In terms of wiping
I tried:
Factory reset at .17
factory reset, wipe, downgrade to .11 or whatever was before .17, then FOTA
same as above, but doing manual upgrade to .17
Of course I liked ICS and my tab was working, with a few caveats. I had more reboots before the wipe, but the deep sleep remained a problem and I had sound and video issues.
Not many, not frequent, but I definitely had. My son gave up on Angry birds space, as an example. Too many force closes. Not a game issue, since it ran fine on my xperia play. And so far, I got 3 stars on 12 stages, not a single issue, on my recently downgraded tf101.
I don't know, maybe ICS is still green, I heard people used to have issues with Asus HC as well in the beginning. Maybe I just like too much of things that just work. But so far, I haven't seen any of the issues I was having with ICS.
Time will tell.
Reached another milestone
120 hours of uptime, 3 people using the device. However, EA's monopoly stopped working after the 3rd day, so now I rebooted the tab to get it running back again.
It was a success, cleared every single issue I had, but I came to notice that after 3 or 4 days up, the tab starts to run slower than usual, taking longer to open programs, etc.
Anyway, the downgrade was successful and the tab works fine now. So, it was worth for me, since I want stock experience on the tab.
So you are using Wolf's method to downgrade? and to what ROM?
Which Wolf method do you use Root or not root?
If it's not NVFlash method that can solved SOD. I will follow you!!
Guys - you may want to hang on before downgrading - we're testing a new beta release from Asus (.24) and so far, things are looking really good... I have a feeling that the ICS RR/SOD issues will be a thing of the past really soon...

Maybe. I stuck with ICS from .11 up to .21 and I still had graphic corruption in games (mostly Angry Birds Space) and my touchscreen became less responsive. OTOH, on HC I get zero issues.
Don't get me wrong, I really liked ICS. There are some things that annoys me on HC, like the default browser not open new tabs on background. But I don't like to beta test stuff anymore, so I will stay on HC until the stock ICS has all the issues cleared.
See I'm a sort of flip to this, HC gave me all sorts of HELL, but when I wiped and went to ICS (Keep in mind I did use CWM to flash Rooted stock at the time, so I wiped Dalvik, Cache and Factory reset) from there it's been beautiful, I only got one SOD and the occasional screen tear. When I upgraded to an actual Dev rom (ARHD first, now I'm on AOK/SP) and put a modded kernel on, issues ceased to exist. So I'm really happy with ICS overall, even though my experience is Far from stock..

I came to notice that most people that are fully happy with ICS deviated from stock. I am still not planning to deviate from stock, but I might when I go back to ICS. I got my pad on january, still waiting for the 12 months warranty to expire before unlocking bootloader and flashing custom kernels.
Hey guys, been a fan of XDA for years, infinite amounts of knowledge here it seems, and I know nothing. While I could spend years reading all the posts and searching, I figured some of the more knowledgable members may be able to answer a couple quick questions without giving me TOO big of a hard time.
I have had my G2x for about a year which is running 2.3.4, March 2011 baseband. I used to own a G1 and a Motorola Cliq and had experimented with rooting it. I am looking for something new and different, as I'm kind of sick of regular old GB. There is so much knowledge here, and on some ROMs 100's of pages of stuff to read, which unfortuantely most of which I find confusing. I know nothing about baseband versions, radios, etc. I plan on researching a lot of these things, as thats obviously the only way to learn.
My Fiance and I both have the G2x, and are both needing to be hard reset and they're running slowly and the battery seems to be draining faster and faster. I planned to do a hard reset this weekend, but figured I may experiment with rooting and custom roms. If you guys can answer some questions for me, I'd greatly appreiciate it! I know that all this information is likely out there, although I feel completely lost and overwhelmed, unsure where to begin. I had the following questions.
If I decide to root the phone, and try different roms am I always able to "unroot" the phone and bring it back to factory just as it is now? Is this general rooting guide good for 2.3.4? Can I root without loading a custom Rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594650
I had been noticing that with Hellfire Sandwhich, and EaglesBlood there are some known issues, like bluetooth I believe, but I'm having a hard time seeing what isn't working currently. I would like to try ICS, but want something stable where I'm not going to experience a lot of programs not working. I don't do a lot on my phone but would like all the little things to work. How would I find "current bugs" or something similar, as there are hundreds of posts I can't seem to find the information.
Is there a certain rom that most people recommend for ICS that is more stable, possible CM?
How common is it to completely brick your phone, if you're not an idiot and follow instructions?
I was told when I bought the phone that it would receive ICS OTA, but this seems debateable. Am I better off waiting to see if this happens, or what do you guys recommend?
I'm sorry this seems like a stupid post, and that I haven't done any reading, because I have, I'm just confused as hell. I REALLY appreciate everyone's help! I've always enjoying messing with phones, although there is just too much to it with Radios, baseband, kernels, all of which I know nothing about, and mean nothing to me at this point. THANKS guys!
That guide will work for you. The good news is that the G2x is close to impossible to brick (it can be done, but definitely takes some talent). NVflash can be used 98% of the time to fix your phone.
As far as ROMs go, you have to experiment. Every G2x is different, and handle different setups differently. With that being said, Kwes's rooted stock ROM fixed a lot of the problems I had with my G2x. If you're bored with stock, most CM7 based ROMs are very stable. As far as ICS goes, Genesis was always my favorite, and the most reliable for me. I recently started playing with Paranoid Android CM9, and so far it works great, and provides a really unique experience.
Just read the first few posts of every ROM and it should provide you with most of the information you need to make a good decision. Hope this helps, and happy flashing!

I've tried pretty much every ROM available (save for quite a few GB ROMs and two JB ROMs), and I feel that the CM10 Paranoid Android is the smoothest ROM available. Every ICS ROM is smooth when you first install it (and I especially love all the features in Domination and Genesis), but after a week or so of use, your phone will start lagging again. With PA, lag is at a minimum. I was on CM9 PA last before getting sick of lag before switching to a GB ROM for a month or so, then decided to finally try out CM10 PA because I just missed flashing new ROMs and I was very impressed. CM10 version runs WAY better than CM9.
I just rooted my phone about 1 week ago and used the guide that the OP posted..everything worked great...I'm currently running hellfire 2.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420972&highlight=hellfire+2+3) and freaking loving it...sooo much better than stock...basically follow the directions from the thread you posted and you'll be fine...
It depends on how important it is to you to have good picture quality with your phone. Even though this phone doesn't have the greatest camera, the stock camera is the best. If you flash to a CM ROM the quality is horrible. I love the performance of CM, but the camera quality was a deal breaker for me.
I ended up trying some stock 2.3.3 roms, but I have ended up back on my rooted stock running 2.3.4 with some tweaks from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806868&highlight=tweaks and I am running faux's 14b2 kernel. With these two things my phone runs really good.

That's the one. It's no less buggy than any ICS ROM if that's the flavor your going for. CM10 is smoother than CM9. At least in my experience. Does anyone else want to chime in?
The only thing that took me back to CM9 was the battery drain issue on CM10.
On a different note: my phone only likes stock ROMs, but I recent found out about Weapon a New Clip, and it is pretty sweet, and just as reliable as anything else I've ever used

CM10 Paranoid looks soo beautiful and I'm really tempted to try it out, but I have a really good thing going on right now with the hellfire...it's super stable and smooth plus I have a ics theme on it so that keeps things fresh for me. I do have one question for those on CM10 Paranoid. Is it stable enough that you can run the 4.2 gapps or any themes/launchers on it??

Hey guys, I rooted my phone and installed Hellfire sandwhich about a month ago. The rom seemed to run good at first, and progressively get slower. I just picked up a Nexus 7 and have no desire to run custom roms on my phone anymore as the tablet has all the bells and whistles, therefore at this point i want to bring my phone back to original condition.
I used this guide to root my phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1594650 and installed HFS from there. I am looking at threads to unroot and some of them are using ADB. The first thing that I did is to load my Nandroid backup from when I oringinally rooted my phone, and I am receiving the message saying "Checking MD5 sums...MD5 mismatch!". I have gone to this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114, but I am unable to access my phone via ADB, as it's saying "Error: Device not found". I have tried to boot into CWM and plug the phone in there, but appears that all my drivers are not loading - http://puu.sh/1JH8J and it's still saying device not found. I have tried enabling USB debugging, as well as turning it off. When I plug the phone in, I only have the option of "Media Device (MTP)" or "Camera (PTP), no "charge only" option under "USB Computer Connection".
I am unsure what to do at this point. I have installed the "LGUnitedMobileDriver S4981MAN38AP22 ML WHQL Ver 3.8.1" drivers and still receiving the same error. Sorry if this has been addressed, as I'm sure it has, but can someone point me in the right direction. Thank you!

I was looking for the older cm10 builds but I couldn't find any downloads.
So I just grabbed the source and compiled it for myself.
Works really well and in my opinion, our a700's just suffer too much lag on anything newer than 4.1.2.
If you haven't tried the older 4.1.2 roms, this is a great starting point.
This build is not my work, pawitp is the dev, I just grabbed source and compiled because I couldn't find a zip to download.
If there are known places where the older roms can still be found I will gladly remove this post if someone notifies me.
Anyways, just figured I'd share since it worked out well.

I'm also compiling an AOKP 4.1.2 rom but it's not done yet.
If it works well, I'll share the file also.
I'm feeling adventurous. I'll try it out and see how it compares with a built-from-stock ROM.

The 4.1.2 AOKP rom I'm working on is even better, just need a bit more time to fine tune it.
The A700 was never an AOKP device, the A500 was but there was enough differences to make it a bit of a challenge.
But I'm curious how someone else sees this so I appreciate the feedback!
I honestly didn't expect anyone to want to try these, I just figured to share them anyways.
Tried it out last night. Gotta say, though, I went back to a stock-based ROM after a couple hours. There wasn't anything wrong with it, really, but I didn't want to reformat my SD card again (the book I'm reading before bed is on it). It was quick and responsive. Everything seemed to work, but I had some issues with the combination of Flash & Lightning Browser + that I'd never had before. Flash was fine in the stock browser, though...Just gave me the weird 1 second playtime in any other browser.

Thanks for trying it out, honestly never really expected anyone to bother!
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by having to reformat your sdcard though?
Ah, I don't use flash at all so I wouldn't have seen that problem...

I found that in order for my card to work in any CM ROM, it has to be formatted as a Primary partition (found that out with another device with another card just last month)...Right now it's set as Logical which works just fine in stock-based ROMS, but I've got three years of data and random junk saved on it. I really am so lazy as to not want to back it up and format it again.
When it's formatted wrong, it causes a force close when you go to Storage in Settings, and it cannot be mounted. That's really the only problem I had, and it is something I know the solution to...So...No problems with your ROM. Heh.
It was very stable, and it was snappier than stock. I've not tried CM11, so I can't compare with that.
