When my Infinity is plugged into either the power adapter or dock when it's off, it turns on. Very annoying. I'd love to be able to plug it in when it's off to charge it without it coming on. Anyone have a solution to this?
Muchas gracias in advance!!
Mine does this as well, but it does turn off after the cooldown timer set under Settings (in the Display section). I do not believe there is a hack available for preventing the display to turn altogether, alas.

Go to Settings > Developer Options > "Uncheck Stay Awake While Charging".
It took awhile to figure this out. I couldn't understand why my battery was draining so much, once I turned this off I could go a few days without charging.

I don't think that answers his question though. Even when that option isn't checked, the device still powers on automatically when connecting the charger cable. He's trying to stop the device from coming on when connecting the power cable while the device is off...

Only way to get to a state of "being off" and "charging" seems to be to plug it in and then shutdown. I've had this reaction in all of my android devices. If you plug it in first with even if the battery run down so far that the device cannot power on, it still will when there is enough juice in the battery to do so.
I have stay awake while charging unchecked, thanks.
I've seen this in all my Android devices too, was just hoping for some sort of hack to turn it off on the Infinity.
Thanks for the replies!

To answer in off-topic mode, for completeness' sake: this does absolutely NOTHING for your tablet's battery life whatsoever, provided you religiously charge it to the same level (i.e., chock-full). You might have seen the tablet homing in on the correct prediction of battery life, something it may need a few charging cycles for.
I find this "on" when plugged in feature annoying.
Didn't initially notice the tablet doing it.
Our other tablets don't do this.
Kind of a weird thing.
Maybe Asus was thinking it would be good for pushing updates while in charge mode.

This is the only Android device I've seen do this, but I have only had HTC Phones. And it is annoying, but I've just learned to do like you said and turn it off after plugging it in when I want to charge it powered off. Which is kinda rare any more. I would only charge it turned off if I wasn't using the brick that came with it.

Just to clairify, I believe we are talking about two different things here, correct me if I'm wrong.
OP is having issue where when he has the tablet powered off completely that it then powers itself back on automatically when plugged in.
Others mentioned screen automatically turns on when plugged in and wants to stay on in some cases and even when turned off, the tablet doesnt deep sleep.
If this is correct, then I'll continue with this. i have had this happen to different devices and seems to be a feature of the ROM. One of the last ROMs I ran on my phone drove me nuts with this. I could never charge my handset with it powered off. When it was near dead and I was leaving soon, I would want it to be as juiced up as possible in a short amount of time so I would power it off and charge. Then one day after flashing I could no longer do this. Then I switched ROMs and I can again. I havn't tried this on my TF700 yet, but would find it annoying if I needed to. I have seen this happen on other devices before realizing it was connected to my ROM, although I could work around by selecting shutdown after it booted up. But with the ROM on my note it would shut down and come right back up.

I received the device at 4 today, opened it and found, to my dismay, that it wouldn't turn on. I tried holding the power button for 10 seconds and 30 seconds, after ten seconds my device makes a clicking noise, but nothing else happens. I've tried holding the power button and the volume up and down buttons ( they are not sticking), also with no results. When I plug it into my computer, it does not show up. Perhaps I need to download drivers? I've also tried plugging it in and charging it, still nothing. I called Asus support and got a trainee who said they would get back with me, whatever that means.... any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

That happened to me too. I plugged it into AC over night and the next day it worked. Display has sometimes problems coming out of sleep mode. Try it!
...besides: not do discourage you, but now, mine's completely bricked, display doesn't turn on at all
Wow man that sucks hope I fair a little better. I will try that tho. Asus sure is having a troublesome release

Give it a few hours on the provided charger. Then hold the power button 10 seconds. Then wait 2 minutes. Then try to turn it on again. If that does not work, leave it overnight on your computer USB in case there is something wrong with your charger.
Just an idea.
I'll try that tho my charger gets warm but my transformer does not

Just a thought here and its probably not the problem. But did the Plug attachment on the transformer click into the transformer properly? I had big problems with it not clicking home and had to actually file down the little T notch on the transformer until it clicked home!!

That's why I was thinking that he could put it on the computer's USB overnight, it won't charge up all the way, but if there is something wrong with the transformer it might be enough to get started.
My battery was dead out of the box. After a quick charge it turned on at 5% battery life.
so i left it pluged into my computer all night and still nothing. its a bit wierd tho my computer is telling me i have new hardware connected but it will not let me see it. so i dont know what to do i guess im going to have to RMA. anyway thanks for all the help
I think the problem most of you are having, especially when just starting to use a new device, is a combination of a fairly low/flat battery coupled with the default lock screen bug, which causes the display to not function correctly occasionally. So start off by charging it up, then doing the 10+seconds force power off method to make sure its off. Then press and hold the power button for 5-6 seconds to do a normal power on. This way it should boot up properly, avoiding the lock screen bug to start off with, make sure to keep the display alive until you unlock the screen, then change the default lock screen to something else, or simply disable it totally.

It seriously sounds to me like you could also be in apx mode.Make sure your volume up button is not sticking.
i thot that too but i can not even get into the bootloader
Hi all,
So my transformer is bricked... completely been trying hard reboot, APX mode, holding power button, HDMI output the list goes on.
My only final resort is what I've read is draining the battery down and trying to recharge it? (Just need some confirmation here please if possible).
I've kept it in the dock, what I've noticed is, in the morning it was green LED now its gone to the amber so something is draining the battery I"m hoping I can get this down to 0.
How long do you guys think with both dock + pad and most likely on standby. Not too sure of the issue here
Anyway, I'm really reluctant to send this back to Asus RMA because in short:
1. First time I sent it, it got returned like a squeaky box. Every where you held it you heard a creak like it was about to snap. They didn't fix some things, and more dust ended up in my camera lens... + had to pay postage..
2. Half fixed, came back with wrong firmware (TW --> US). Could never update ever again, so microsd card updates FTW. No way was I planning on spending an extra month sending my TF back and forth... I paid extra to get the first batch B40 lol.. They replaced everything inside my TF motherboard, screen, Inside LED!?, buttons. Close to the works..
This happened right after I upgraded to ICS, it was the US stock rom booted up fine. my apps were updating, and as everyone else was saying about how some apps caused ICS to slow down I wasn't aware so I thought I would shut it down and power it back up. Since then it's not been able to come up ever again... Any suggestions?
What do you think?
Thanks in advanced.
One other thing, could someone check.. when tablet is docked and OFF. Do the usb ports still work?
Right now, when docked but "bricked" I can still charge my phone via USB.. If someone could test this that would be much appreciated as that could at least eliminate that my TF's battery is dead, right?
get it off the dock, hold volup+pwr, count to six and leave it for a couple of days. You can test if it's empty when you plug it in your pc via the cable. If you get the device plugged sound it means there's still juice there - unplug and press again volup+pwr. when you unplug it from the pc the tab shuts itself down.
if you don't volup+pwr before you plug in the usb it won't turn itself on. but it turns off automatically at unplug, as I said.
after the battery is down, plug the tab to the charger. I don't have the dock so I can only speak about the tab itself. Don't know why, but it works for me everytime. Hope it fixes yours, then, if possible, root and flash something.

Hi there,
Thanks, I'll that a try.
It's definitely charging and discharging, the battery brick is warm.. I've never had to connect my tablet to a windows PC. Today I did, it didn't make a sound.. Do I need to fully charge to be able to turn it on?
Normally not. I plug mine to the charger, I don't remember if it stats or I have to press power, when it boots the battery stays at 0% for several minutes.
Sorry for the late reply, did you manage to wake it? It's a long procedure of waiting mainly and can get annoying.
I'm still trying, earlier you had a thread about it poping up through the computer. What was the command you used in Linux?
Windows gives me nothign even when there was power in it.
Thanks.
Thank you sooo much!! It finally has powered back on, I hope this doesn't happen again.
I thought I saw reference to a mod that prevents the tablet from powering up when plugged in. However after searching I am unable to find it. Am I imagining that I saw it or is there a way to do this? It is quite annoying to shut down my tablet, and plug it in to charge only to have to shut it down again because it booted up.
I am on CROMI-X 4.6.4 with Hundsbauh v10 kernel.
Thanks in advance for the help.
You don't need to power it off to charge it, just leave it on.
That's the point of smartphones and tablets, you just need a second to "turn on" (unlock) the device.

I didn't say that I "need" to power it off. I believe I said that I "want" to power it off - and keep it off. I understand the how and the why. But my preference is to keep it off when I turn it off whether I plug it in or not. I don't really care what the point of smart phones and tablets is or is not. If it can't be done than so be it. But if it is possible than that was the point of my inquiry. I know I can just power it down after I plug it in, but there are times I forget (like when I am hitting the bed and I am half asleep).
I believe Elesbb was going to make the MOD you are talking about. I'm not positive but I don't think he's made it yet. You may want to check with him.

Hi,
I've had my TF700 since it came out and I love it. It was running CROMBi-kk for the last month or so, and my experience has never been better. However, it would die before the battery reached anywhere close to 0%. I didn't care about that until last night, when it died at more than 50%. I was surprised that the battery would not calibrate itself over time.
Anyway, I drained the battery some more, until it could no longer boot, and left it on the charger overnight. It will not boot at all now. I held the power button down for more than a minute, on and off the charger, on and off the keyboard. It's completely dead. The only reaction I get from it is the green LED on the top of the tablet when I plug the charger in. It never starts booting up, never vibrates, nothing. The ROM has been stable until now, making me think that it's hardware. If it matters, it's been like this for 12 hours, and the tablet has been in room temperature.
Is there anything I can do to turn it on or verify? I don't care about data loss. Any and all ideas are welcome.
Thanks,

Connect it to your PC via USB, make sure the computer doesn't go into sleep mode and let it trickle charge for 8 hours or so. The LED will not come on, but it should charge very slowly. This has helped some people to recalibrate the battery too, so hopefully it'll breathe some life into it.
BTW, it's never a good idea to totally drain the battery and let the tablet die for lack of juice.

Darn! Sorry man...
Did you have fsync off? If you have sudden reboots (and yours seems to have died multiple times from lack of power) you should not run it with fsync off..
I know, that doesn't help anymore - just thinking somebody else may benefit from reading this.
Leave it alone a couple of days and try again. Sometimes things magically do work themselves out...

fsync off cannot cause this kind of problems - in the worst case your data partition needs to be reformatted, but the ROM will boot. In the very unlikely case that you remounted the system partition writable and you crash while writing to it, you may have to reflash the ROM too. But it can never break the bootloader or the recovery.
Nah, this rom was running with fsync and without data2sd.
I think it's time to start looking for a new one ;( Not the expense I needed, but did I use it daily.

Still nothing. I think it's dead.
The upcoming TF303 looks decent. Can you anticipate how vibrant the modding community will be considering the Intel Atom? The modding community, along with your kernel work, made my TF700 usable, and I am really thankful for that. I would like to have custom options in case the stock kernel/rom do not deliver.
If Intel Atom is in any way problematic, I may try to get a new TF700. They're still being sold, and presumably not for long. The modding community for the TF701 seems basically nonexistant, which is a problem for me.

I had that just happen to me. What I had to do was open the TF700 up using the steps from iFixit and after opened up I turned the power switch slider on the main board to off for about a minute and then back on. Once I did that it powered back up again. One thing though if you're not comfortable with opening up you're Tab I would not suggest doing it because the plastic tabs that hold it together can be easily broken I got lucky and didn't end up breaking any of them. Still not sure why the Tab did this in the first place. In any case I hope this helps.

Glad you got it working again. Before that, have you tried pressing the power button for a very long time (like 30 seconds) or pressing the pinhole reset button? I was under the impression that these would have a similar effect as physically turning it off and on.

Yeah I tried all the usual methods of resetting including holding the power button for over 1 minute, hitting the reset button beside the HDMI connector and trying the PC slow charge route nothing would even get it to power up no vibrate at all. When I couldn't get any of that to work the last ditch was to try disassembling and honestly even after I did that I still couldn't get it to responds until I used the power switch slider and after that it started back up. I'm just happy it worked.

It keeps happening when it's charging and i have no idea why. I don' t have a case yet so it has woken me up a few times over the night from lighting up my room whenever the screen turns on.

Do you have locked bootloader and a custom ROM installed?

Nope, everything is stock..
Then I don't know man...
The same happens to me with every custom ROM in my locked bootloader tablet. With stock it behaves normal, so I concluded that somehow it has to be something related to bootloader or something.
But re-reading you again, it isnt the same thing. In my case, The whole tablet turns on after being off when charging. Not The screen only. If I were you, I would do a factory reset and would see if it does The same thing with no other apps installed.

I have this happen using both the stock kernel and the BitO kx 060 kernel, but only when charging from my laptop usb. Using ampere to monitor battery charging I notice that my laptop's output fluctuates up and down, sometimes down to zero. For me I'm assuming it turns on when it either stops getting a charge, or resumes charging. I do not have this problem using a wall charger, but i am using a 5v 2a charger. Hope this is of some help pointing you in the right direction.

ooohhh.. that's a good idea. Thanks! I'll have to try another power source when I get home. I'll try that and will update the thread with my findings.
Hey, just thought I'd ask if you ever found a solution to this? It's happening to me, too: brand new, entirely unmodified K1, straight from the shop. While charging, the screen keeps turning on and off, which is not only mildly annoying but probably makes the charging take a lot longer than it needs to.
That's actually normal for Android devices. If the screen is off and you plug the charger in, the screen goes on. Same when you unplug. So that you see/know it's indeed charging. However, you can change the screen Sleep time and Daydream under Display.
if i leave my moga controller connected my screen keeps turning on
Happens to me as well, wild guess for me is there isnt a charging animation for the tablet when it is powered off, if i power mine off the second i plug it in to charge it will light up with a black screen 1st then proceed to normal boot, or sometimes there's a battery charging pic then it boots normally
