Sometimes my skyrocket takes a really long time to turn after it has charged (turned off) overnight. I have to hold the power button down for a good 15 seconds before I feel it vibrate and the samsung logo pops up.
Is this normal or indicative of some issue? I am paranoid about waking up to a dead phone.

My transformer wakes up fine after a minute or two, but if I leave it for 5-10 minutes and hit the power button, nothing happens
I can long press, then press again (rebooting), but I can't get the darn thing to "wake" back up after some downtime
any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?
Mine just went to sleep and i can't even get it to re-boot.
Had it less the 24 hours and now seems dead when on 90% battery
Any idea's?
kk it is re-booting when held down for about 15 secs, when i plug in to the PC with usb and how the power down you get the disconnect noise to say it is powered down.
Odd its getting stuck in sleep as it was on sleep having charge all last night and woke up fine this morning.
Just want to make sure you are rebooting correctly ... hold the power button down for 5 seconds then let go and wait for a couple seconds, then hold it down for a couple seconds to turn it back on

yer just the 5 secs feels like forever when it wouldn't turn on. :S
I hate it when your new toy's act dead.
Not sure it's related, as I don't have my Transformer yet (thursday or friday it should be here!), but I had a similar issue on an Archos 101. Turning off the screen timeout resolved it.
Seems like when you put it into 'sleep' by tapping the power button, if you let it sit longer than the screen timeout was set, it would, well, turn off the screen... and you couldn't turn it back on.
Had to do the whole 'hold the power button for X seconds' to force it off, then turn it back on.
Just wondering, might be something to try - turn off the screen timeout and see if it wakes up OK.
Trust me bud, I know. And what's worse, you can't return this one and get a new one due to supply issues (you would have to wait a long time for your replacement)
I also have some light bleed issues, those I can live with... this I cannot

Hey guys,
Was playing with my Transformer last night (browser, some games) and now today my Transformer won't turn on.
I fully charged it yesterday and it had 91% when it was done with it last night. I DID NOT turn it off.
Now it seems to be off, and won't turn on.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Okay, so out of nowhere it decided to turn on. When it did, it made a weird sound from the speaker. Battery is the whole way down to 42%!!!! Should I be worried?
Try holding the power button for 10-15 seconds, then try to turn it on.

Okay so I've had absolutely no problems with my Transformer for the past month.. But the strange thing is that if the device is powered off and detached from the dock, it won't power on. If i connect to the dock, it works just fine.. The power button works great as well, no problems sleeping the device while undocked, just when its powered off, it will NOT turn on without the dock...
Any ideas?

I have noticed on my transformer that I've always had to hold down the power button for what seemed like an unusually long period of time before it actually turns on. Seems like between 5 and 10 seconds..

Isn't that the usual? I mean, in my case I hold the power button for 3-5 seconds and then it starts 2-3 seconds before.
I think the TF doesn't behave like the rest of mobiles, since in a mobile phone just tapping the power button should turn on the phone, but here it doesn't do nothing. Maybe its due its nature, to avoid unintended turning on the tablet.

Maybe its the button itself... or the ROM.
I've red other cases where the button didn't work but the tablet turned on as soon as they plugged the charging cable. Since the dock has battery and gives power to the tablet, maybe thats why it turns on.

The button works just fine.. Im saying it will only turn on from an (off) state if its connected to the dock.

It seems like whenever I leave my TF700 inactive for a while, it is always completely shut down the next time I pick it up, even if it has plenty of battery left. This latest time I did notice that the dock battery is totally drained (and it is almost always docked), but the tablet battery is at like 90% Transformer is stock/locked. Not sure why this is happening, but it's really annoying to have to turn it back on every single time I pick it up....
This doesn't sound like the norm, i didn't see this issue with my first infinity.

How do you turn it back on?
Few seconds of power button press, or a longer press (like 10s+) ?

I have the same problem with my brand new TF700T .. I had for a little over a week now and it does the same thing. I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds or more for it to reboot. I don't have the keyboard dock ...
I have been finding a few threads on forums about it but not that many so I'm thinking of exchanging it for another one.
I've had mine about 6-8 weeks. Is unlocked and has TWRP and Zeus 3.0. Used it this morning with no issues and it was about 90% charged. Took it on the road with me and I wanted to make sure it was fully charged so I plugged it into a power inverter car charger with a USB slot. After about 1 hour, I unplugged it and turned it back on. It powered up and the first Asus screen popped up. At that point it appeared to go black and I waited a few minutes. Nothing happened. I then tried turning it back and it will not turn back on or power up into TWRP. After holding the power button, the tablet has a small vibrate after 10 seconds. Upon plugging it back into the car charger, I noticed that the light is not working. This happens on and off the dock. I won't be able to plug it into a real power outlet until I get back home, so I'm posting to get a jump start on what to do if it still doesn't work at home.
Any advice?

Well I got home, plugged it in and the charge light came on. It still wouldn't turn on though. At that point, I figured I'd try a paper clip in the factory reset pin hole even though I read that it doesn't or shouldn't work when you're not stock. Well doing that powered the tablet back up and everything is the way I left it this morning.
Very interesting. Hope this may help others....or maybe I'm just lucky.

So the reset button works also with custom rom. Shouldn't be a normal thing? I didn't know that with custom rom it doesn't work.

Sounds somewhat similar to my tablet, had it connect to HDMI with dock it was just finished running video the low battery status prompt popped up, folded the tablet and connected with charger without disconnecting HDMI.
A few hours later unfolded the tablet and found a blank screen, first thought it had shutdown by itself, then by pressing power button it gave a short vibration feedback. With the display still blank kept on pressing power button each time it responded with feedback by vibrating and thought it is bricked.
Was wondering wildly what has happened to it, so kept on pressing and holding power button it finally reboots and vibrated long to indicate it is booting.
So it was strange why such error has occurred, and it happens it could have registered as turned ON but display ON and in reality display is really OFF.
