Yesterday, while using the Feedly app, i went to rotate the screen and the app froze. Then the entire screen went gray and the device became unresponsive. Finally it self rebooted and then i did a cold boot. I couldn't link to my wifi extender and it would revert to my router. No matter what i did, password, forget etc, it wouldn't connect to the extender. Yet all other devices work great with it. Even did a factory reset and still wont connect.
Any ideas how to remedy this?

my transformer is acting strange. not sure if it's by design or a glitch.. but i hate it, almost to a point i want to return it and get an Acer..
If i dont use the trans for a while, the wifi diconnects itself, which is what i want. But when i wake the screen, it stays disconnected and will not auto connect. so i try to connect manually, it will not connect at all. keeps saying out of range when i know for sure it's in range. so i have to shut it down and turn it back on everytime to connect. F-ing annoying!!
and if i dont use it overnight or something, the next morning it's turned off, and i can't turn it back on the normal way. i have to hold down the volume down button and power button at the same time to power it on.
anyone experiencing similar problems??!!
WTF!!!
I think you have a faulty unit as I am not having any of the problems you mention, WiFi is rock solid, have been able to connect from standby immediately after pressing power button even after prolonged periods of time on standby.
The only time I had to reset it was once when i installed a battery widget that was not showing after installation, tried a reset which solved the problem.
I have not had this problem once since i received the unit on Thursday. I have even connected it up to 4 different wifi networks and have not had a problem reconnecting to my home when i return.
It could be your access point causing the issue. When i first got my Epic 4g, it could not keep a connection to my 6 year old linksys router. I then purchased a buffalo tech N router and have not had any problems since. The Epic and Transformer now behave as they should.
Try updating the firmware on your wifi unit or purchase a new one.

I'll see if my firmware is up to date on my router. hopefully that's the problem... but that doesn't explain the other problem, It shuts off by itself.
Do any of yours shut themselves off after say a night of no use?
The only time I noticed mine shutting off was when I carried it in a bag but I think this was caused by pressure on the power button whilst in transit, never noticed it any other time.
My wife's android phone had a similar issue with wifi. It wouldn't reconnect after going into standby, and I would have to reboot the phone. I just set the wifi sleep policy to never, which is the same preference I have on my phone. Honestly there is very little effect to battery life on an android phone. However, if wifi shuts off on a phone it would just use 3g instead also using battery. I assume if the wifi goes asleep on the tablet, you lose any push notifications. I plan on leaving mine on for notifications. (Getting delivered today)
Definitely a faulty unit, mine is always connected to WiFi when I wake it. Never had it turn off on its own either.
Make sure wifi sleep policy is set to never, and if you're still having issues, I'd do a wipe of the device could just be some corrupted app or file.
Doesn't sound normal at all. Tough decision as you can't just return it and get another because of the short supply. So far my transformer is exceeding my expectations. This is one hell of a deal at $399, and really makes you wonder what other manufacturers are thinking charging a tablet more than $400.

I don't know about your wifi issue but the sleep problem is a known issue that many others have had problems with. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
There have been updates to the Wifi driver in the last two FOTAs, maybe when ASUS re-releases those updates it might help.

I did do a master reset and the problem did not go away. and my trans in on never disconnect wifi mode. i'll try another reset tonight see if that helps. maybe i still have some battery saver app that's screwing everything up. this sucks! if i can't get this fixed, i'll return it and get one later when the stock is replinished. The initial honeymoon period is about worn off anyway, i can wait now...
Have you tried this on a different router? The problem may be with the router instead of your tablet.

Mine did this to me once or twice - but I think it is related to the lock screen issue described elsewhere in the forum. Basically, when I got up in the morning, it appeared to be "off" - but I think it was just an issue powering up the screen. I had to hold the power button for a good 10 seconds (to actually shut it down) and then power it back on.
I disabled the lock screen and haven't had the problem since then. I'd really like to re-enable the lock screen though at some point, so I hope they get the issue resolved.
Definitely seems like a bug - but certainly not something that has cropped up for me since disabling the lock screen.
I've had it for about 3 weeks and I had it in its sleeve for a night then go to use it and it won't boot or anything.
Have tried charging it but nothing comes up what so ever.
Anyone else had this problem?
*edit*
Held power button for about 20 seconds then booted it. Booted up, sheesh I was worried !
Is this common? Does it seem hardware or software related?
Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds then wait five then try to turn it on

Yeah just did that but had to wait 5 minutes to edit my first post
Is it well known?
Just done it again...
It's known as the deep sleep issue. It's somewhat widespread yet no one knows what exactly causes it

Alright, so it's not a problem with my transformer?
We'll see what the updates bring aha
I've had mine 6-days, died twice now, refuses to power this time at all, tried all the above
Mine done the same thing. Watching a movie last night via HDMI with power supply plugged in, turned it off before I went to bed. Now it doesn't power on, tried everything above.
Please help
Note: Not rooted, stock
Oh my god, thanks for this. I just got my transformer today, and after I installed the update, it wouldn't start up. I held the power button down for about 10 seconds and it started up.
My TF won't turn on this morning.
I tried all the suggestions above but nothing work.
I don't think my TF is in a deep sleep mode because I turned it off last night before I went to bed. It's connected to the charger the hold night.
Any other suggestions?
How do I check to see if my TF's battery still has some juice in it? (Just want to eliminate the charger as a possible cause).
Update
Called ASUS.
They told me to try press power button 10 secs, release 2 secs, and press power button 10 secs. That didn't work.
I had to hard reset the tablet (Vol-, power)
my buddy's wont seem to turn on, tried all listed above and nothing from it at all.
tried charging through usb. any suggestions?
same problem here :/. Tried all of the suggestions. I'm desperate
..
Okay if your TF does not have the SOD then maybe your screen may be dead. Happen to me. See if you could connect yout tf to a tv via hdmi. If you are getting a picture then your tf screen is dead
I think the batterie is broke cause it bootet up right now but after the lock screen appeard the screen got black. But the Problem came so suddenly.
I have the same problem ( as detailed in my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15475887#post15475887 ). I sent an email to ASUS, but have yet to hear back. Their support portal is terrible. The links for online chat support don't work in Chrome, Firefox or IE. I'm past the 30 day return window, anyone know the best way to contact asus about this? I'm pretty disappointed that this $400 device with no moving parts just seemed to fail (while I was using it). The worst part is, if I have to send it in, I have no way of wiping my data beforehand.
Try contacting the user "Asus_NA" (no quotes) via PM here on XDA.

My asus eee pad transformer tf101 will not boot up. All it will do is have the asus and the little circle loading sign going for hours i have restarted it a couple of times and is still not loading up. Can anyone help me find a way to fix it without loosing all my data.
What got you to this point?
Recovery might be your only option.

I have the same problem.
My tablet when on charge will repeatedly come on and show the "eepad screen" then the "asus" screen with the rotating circle then it turns off with a click.
I have tried starting the cold reboot etc but the tablet turns off and start again before it can do its thing.
I currently have the Android logo coming on instead of the asus screen. the android with a swirling stomach.
but the machine turns off before I get anywhere,
My tablet is out of warranty so sending it back to Asus isnt an option.
My question is
If I open the tablet is there a way to blank the tablet using the hardware inside.
If this happened on my windows laptop I could blank the hard drive and start from scratch in the bios or tell the machine to boot from disc and do a reinstall. Can this type of thing be done on the tablet.
thanks
Recently, I have noticed that my dock lights up, the light it has turns on and flashes orange once, and at first i thought it was whenever i had an email or notification since it seemed to happen at that time, but now i'm not so sure,
but just to clarify, this doesn't seem to have an affect on the docks battery life.
Help is appreciated in understanding this
Mine seemes to flash when the dock is out of juice but connected to the tablet. I've not managed to work out the pattern as to what causes it to flash at other times though

This is probably a long shot and I'm assuming I will be doing an RMA, but thought I'd ask anyway...
I just noticed that my tablet will not charge without being docked. I typically always keep my TF700 docked and only detach the tablet every so often (to play games on the crapper, or in bed, etc.) A few nights back, I decided to charge it without putting it back in the dock. Woke up and it was dead. No charge. Put it in the dock and plugged the charger in. Charged fine. Thought it was just some fluke. Drained battery down to about 65% and gave charging just the tablet another shot. Nothing. Funny thing is, I noticed that if I turn the screen off, it will turn back on when I plug the charger in. It just doesn't charge.
When I use the charging USB cable to connect to my PC, the PC recognizes it just fine and the tablet kicks off ASUS PC sync tool.
Tried doing a cold boot. Didn't help. Haven't tried doing a factory reset yet, but will try that before I call ASUS for an RMA.
Since the charger works fine when charging the dock, it shouldn't be a charger issue. Since connecting the tablet to my PC with the USB cable works fine, the USB cable is good and the charging port on the tablet is at least recognizing connections (as well as the docking connection.)
I'm at a loss other than it's some sort of hardware issue with the charging port on the tablet that isn't working right for charging but is working fine otherwise.
Any help is appreciated before I bite the bullet and call ASUS.
Weird one.
I don't know the answer but have you tried a cold boot and full wipe? Just saying as that is what Asus will ask you to do.
Assuming you are locked stock as well?

Tried a cold boot but not a full wipe yet. That is my next step before calling Asus if I can't figure out any other way.
Edit: Also.. Yes, thankfully I left the tablet all stock to keep the warranty. I actually only have a TF700 because I was able to exchange my TF201 after that whole debacle. Needless to say, I'm probably done with Asus products.
Update: This morning I woke up and opened the tablet (it was docked) and the tablet and dock were very warm. The screen was also lit but frozen and the power button did nothing. Never had this happen before. Was able to reset it with the pinhole reset button and tablet cooled down and acted normal. I tried a factory reset to see if it changed anything with the charging issue, but it didn't.
Contacted Asus and got an RMA number.

UPDATE FOR TF700 USERS!!! AND THE 4.2.1 UPDATE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204100
Just a final update for anyone who runs into the same issue. I just got the tablet back from Asus and it is charging fine now. Hopefully it stays this way. No idea what they did to fix it as it just says they repaired it in the description. Took 15 days for the whole RMA process.
