Hi
Before I go to bed i dock my TF700 tablet (in the standard dock that it came with) shut the screen and stick it on charge. When I wake up in the morning and go to use my tablet it does not wake up and seems to have shut down. I then have to start it up again to use it.
I am under the impression it should not be doing this and it should just be in sleep mode until I come back to it.
Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it.
Thanks
Had this issue when I changed the screen timeout from 1 to 10 minutes. I changed it down to 5 and it hasn't locked up/shut down once since scaling it back down a bit.
Don't know why that might do it, but you could try adjusting that setting.
Hope this helps.

So I got my TF101 from MacMall on the eBay deal of the day yesterday and out of the box put it on the adapter. Once it was charged past 50% I ran the 3.2 update which completed without issues. Then I let it continue charging to 100% and took it off the charger and played with it briefly. Put it back in the box and carried it around for the rest of the day waiting to have a chance to use it/play with it but client needs came first. Get home that night (~6 hours since I removed it from the charger) and nothing. Black screen with nothing displayed in response to very long press of power button. Vol + and power = nothing. Figure that the battery is dead (crappy) and I will have to wait until the office in the morning to charge it since I left the block and cable there. Get to office this morning and put it on the charger and nothing still - no light to show charging and device does not turn on. Call ASUS support and after getting relative details and discussing situation it turns on fine for me (after I had tried for 15+ minutes) after disconnecting from charging block. I put it down to weirdness and move on. Now at home fully charged it is doing the same crap.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Since updating to 3.2 my battery life is really bad too... Used to get a couple of days out of the tab and dock with frequent use... now it lasts maybe a day with barley any use.

Hi brando56894, do you know if this "sleep of death" is a problem with the 3.2 update? The post's in this thread are from members with new vanilla 3.1 Transformers.
My Transformer will arrive in a few days, I just want to avoid any pitfalls because the Transformer is a gift for my girlfriend. She is not a techie, and I would like her to love and use this ANDROID beauty.
Many thanks, Anil.

OK - thanks for the identification of the problem and a thread on what is being done to research/resolve.
hey guys i just got my transformer today. a couple of times i shut it off and when i try to turn it back on it wont work unless i plug it in, even though the battery is above 90%
I have a very similar issue.
I have the B40 model, when I shut down, I can't turn back on. I have been leaving my TF on all day then just shut down at night and when I come to turn on in the morning, iit is fine. Today I had to restart due to wifi constantly saying it was turning off for no reason, upon shutting down, it wouldn't power back up. I hav left it for approx 1 and a half hours, still nothing. Doesn't make any difference if it is plugged in or not. My battery is full.
Really could do with some help with this issue, as it is really spoiling what I regard as a brilliant device.

Once you plug it in and it come on, does it stay on when you take the charger off?
Once on and you hit the power button does it do anything?
You might have a faulty power button IMO.
I don't know about Krueger, but mine doesn't do anything when you plug it in. I have to wait a few hours. When I last shutdown, I was trying to restart, it just never did. I had full charge. I can't even get into APX mode. My TF is stock unrooted. Power button works just fine when tablet is on, does exactly as it should.

I've seen reports of peoples getting this "deep sleep" and not able to turn it on easily. Not sure if there's a definite fix or not. Some peoples say they have good luck turning of the lock screen, some say they fixed it by factory resetting the tablet.

Cheers m8.
I will give this a try when I can turn it back on again. Its been approx 6 hrs now since I tried to restart it. I will have to wait till morning I think. When it has done it previously, I have left it on charge all night, even though there was more than half in it each time, and it seems to start up after about 7 - 10 seconds of holding the power button in.
Thanks again

So I have spent 15 mins listening to the back of the device while trying toturn on. From what I can hear it sounds like a quiet jet engine firing up for approx 1-1 and a quarter seconds then sounds like the jet engine turning off (I know this sounds wierd, but best way I can describe). Its almost like there isnt enough power to fire it all the way up. There also other noises going on even when I dont try and turn it on, so I don't think it is fully turned of. Maybe a deep sleep issue. I did notice on this occassion, befor I tried to restart that I had no internet connection and when I went to check wifi settings it said Wifi is turning off. I leave it set to default.
Thanks

So I hit the power button to put the tablet into standby and put it on my nightstand. A few hours later I came back to use it and it was stuck on a black screen and the tablet was very hot. It seemed like the the screen wasn't really "on," but the backlight was so it just looked like a black screen. I held the power button to turn it off and I then turn it back on. I took it out of its' leather case while it was rebooting and it was very hot. So hot I couldn't hold it for very long. I checked Battery Widget? Reborn! Pro to see what the battery temp was at. The app read it at 107 degrees Fahrenheit. I turned off the tablet let it cool a bit, then restarted it. Everything seemed fine and performed normally. For some reason airplane mode was activated when I initially restarted the tablet. It seems to do that when Tasker shut it down after the 3 hours of the screen being off. The thing is, I uninstalled Tasker a day ago.
Is there any chance this caused damage inside the tablet that may turn up later?
Anyone know why or how this happened?
Thanks,
Aaron

If it's acting normal for 1 day with normal use, I think you're safe.

I'll watch it closely for a few days to make sure. I appreciate the reply. 107F doesn't sound too hot when it comes to electronics, but, man, was it hot to touch/hold.

The same thing happened to me once, about two months ago. I wasn't using tasker...don't know what caused it but I may have had it on IPS+ and didn't turn it off. Anyway, I freaked, but as soon as it cooled down it seemed to work fine and has been fine ever since.

Funny thing is my power button and volume rocker were kind of sticky and stiff. Since the tablet heated up, the buttons don't make a popping sensation or feel stiff when I press them. Haha. Amazing.
Hello friends. Having lots of issues with my tablet.
A while ago i noticed that my tablet was running a bit sluggish, and the brightness of the screen was flickering when on auto-brightness. I didn't think anything of it, but the next morning when I unplugged it after it was charging all night, it was at 30% after a few minutes. Every time I plugged it in it would say "charged", but a few seconds after I unplugged it it would go back to 30%. It's gotten to the point where I can't use it because it won't turn on. It's plugged in, but I press the power button and the screen lights up for a half second and then dies (i'm assuming).
I've tried other cables, etc, anyone have any ideas? I haven't been able to use my tablet the past 2 days because of this.
Sounds like it's time to RMA...

Was afraid of this...Kinda was hoping it would be a software issue
Think they'll care if I rooted it?
Rooting it would not cause this and I'd get in to a massive argument with anyone that claimed otherwise.

Mine also was having the same issue. I searched high and low for a fix and finally came across a thread here on XDA that suggested deleting a corrupted jpg image that is created by the default camera 'Camera Awesome'. The corrupt jpg image sends the media scanner into an endless loop that taxes the CPU nonstop. The folder location is Android/data/com.smugmug.android.cameraawesome. I would delete any subfolders also. Hope this does the trick for you. Another tip is to stop the Blake_wakelock wakelock created by the Shield Wireless Controller which drains your Wi-Fi continually. Download the 'Disable Service' app from the google play store and once it is installed scroll over to the system apps and long click the 'SHIELD Wireless Controller Service'. From there you can disable the 'BlakeManagerService'. You can always turn it back on if and when you need to use it but that will stop your wakelocks for now. Hope everything works out for you. I was having the same trouble as you but was determined to figure it out as I did not want to send mine back cause it is my first tablet and has a lot of potential. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks for the suggestion, but the problem is I can't get it to turn on at all. Oh well, my replacement has already shipped and gets here Monday
Mine as well
Mine was working fine for 4 days. Set it down then went to power on to read book and nothing. I take it I have no recourse but to call Newegg and RMA?
So I've had my 16gb Tablet for a few days. Upon first power up, I ran through all the updates, including 5.0. When all the updates were done, I did a complete reset of the system to get Lollipop nice and fresh.
I've noticed that a few days ago, I left the tablet on my nightstand at about 50%, the next afternoon it was completely dead. I didn't think much of it, thinking maybe a program went crazy and sucked it dry. It happens.
Yesterday I left it on my bed at 64%, a few hours later I went to use it and it was powered off. At least I thought it was powered off. I'm noticing this unit might have bad buttons, as they are really squishy and don't have a lot of feedback for the up volume and power. So after pressing the crap out of the power button, it seemed to power back up. It greeted me to showing about 60% battery. Ok, that was weird, but not the end of the world. I plug it in to charge to 1005%.
Last night, I unplugged it at 100% and left it on my computer desk. Just now (next morning) I went to flip open the cover and it wouldn't turn on. I try hitting power and nothing. I hold the power down for about 20 seconds and it finally powers on. It boots up to 48% battery. Now keep in mind that I didn't do anything to it last night when I unplugged it. As a matter of fact, I didn't open apps, but I made sure I swiped all open cards away so nothing was running.
Sorry for the long post, but I want all the details here.
A couple questions:
Anyone else having random sleep issues where it won't wake up? I thought a lot was resolved going to lollipop?
Anyone have issues with soft sloppy buttons with no travel or click on the side? This is my second unit and I thought the first one had better buttons..
I'm having the same issue. Once it goes to sleep, sometimes it randomly just shuts down on its own. When I leave it on overnight, it's almost guaranteed to be off in the morning. Since I've come to work today, it's already automatically shut down twice. What the heck is going on?

It was the first thing I checked, and yes, it's disabled. I did a reset of my device yesterday and I've only had one random shutdown thus far. Not ideal, but still an improvement....
You need RMA, Please read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56907689
Same story for me, tablet was defective, battery drain even in airplane mode with no application installed. If your tablet do this, don't lose time and change it.
I've just purchased one and it's happening exactly the same, it happens constantly, also the battery drain is considerable.
I'm in Lollipop, and I've already done a coupe of factory reset.
Does anyone know if this can be repaired somehow? Or I'll have to return it...
Thanks!

Never requested a RMA to NVIDIA, are they fast? I've bought the tablet in Amazon, I have doubts yo who should I request it.
Thanks
So you should request amazon, unless Nvidia offer you a direct replacement in their forums.
Quick question. Does everyone here experiencing shutdowns have a case with an auto wake/sleep feature?
I too have this issue. Auto off is disabled.
I tried going back to gingerbread and the power issue is non-existent. Once I do all the updates to Lollipop the issue returns. Think it's an issue with the rom, since gingerbread works flawlessly.
I have both a skin and one with auto wake and my k1 has been shutting down on its own even with just tye skin on it.
