I've been having my transformer for 4 days and I installed some apps and nova launcher. I usually use my tab to browse internet or tapatalk but in these 4 days I had a lot of reboot especially when I browser the web with boat browser, or when I try to download a file. The system become unresponsive and then tablet reboots. I'm always in balanced mode. And I use also a custom keyboard (thumb keyboard).
Is there a way to understand wich is the problem or the process that reboots my tablet?
I love my tablet and I don't want to return it if it's a common software issue that could be solved in (near I hope) future.

It might be the Nova Launcher or some other software incompatibility. Try uninstalling some to see if it gets better.

Yes..
You can get instruction for a cold boot here http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-help/11510-various-quick-fixes-links-help.html
Let us know how it goes..
Yup,
I agree with all others above.
Some of us have a tendency to try a bunch of different crapplications from the play store or wherever.
I always download a bunch of cool sounding stuff...then the tab will start screwing up...then I get rid of everything...then I do the factory reset...then I say to me..."hmmm it's working good now"...then I start all over...
Have fun!
Ok I did a cold boot but what exactly does this method?

I had to shut down and start up my Infinity this evening, because Google Music would not run, it would just open up to a black screen. Closing it out and even stopping the service did not resolve.
I have to do this frequently with Google Maps because if I try to use it, it will close out back to the home screen after launching it and it tries to communicate over GPS.
It would help if ASUS put a restart option when holding the power key button, instead of Shutdown and Cancel.

Actually, It would help even more if ASUS would just fix even the most commonly encountered bugs so we could have a relatively stable system. In particular, the Google Maps problem you described is most likely due to the Nvidia GL kernel bug which Nvidia has had a fix for since April. What excuse does ASUS have for not pushing out updates with fixes for the bugs this serious and well known?

I had purchased the Nook color power button for my old rooted Nook with flaky power button. I put it on my Infinity. . It works great been using for a month no problems. Gives option to sleep Power off. Reboot. Cancel. Also sleep function does put tablet into deep sleep. I also use it on my Bionic. Works on it except for sleep function which Bionics sleep function overrides but does reboot Bionic without going through the Bionics routine of total shutdown then start. This button does not speed up any of these functions but it works remarkably well. It was a I wonder if with my Bionic a few months back and it worked so when I got my tab i figured try and see. lol Just reporting it works for me Thanks

I had my Asus since Wed and everything was good. Last night I decided for the first time completely turn it off for the night. This morning I hit the power button and it will not boot up to the OS. It right stuck at Asus welcome screen. I try several times and its still hangs at the welcome screen. I had no issues with the update from last week (the one where others were bricking their tablet) Last night it had 50% battery life. Any suggestions?
Anyone? I try the recovery mode and it goes into recovery all I get is the little green android robot with triangle....and after five minutes it reboot by itself and then get stuck at the Asus welcome screen
How long in minuted do you let it sit at the Asus screen and did you have a notice about an update?

Its been sitting at the welcome screen for the last ten minutes. I am able to turn it off and on..but it does not get past the welcome screen. I did that update (which bricking others tablet) two days ago and everything went fine.....Last night was the first time I completely turned it off..and now this.... I dont know what else to do....I try the recovery mode several time and after five minutes it reboot on its own and then goes back to the welcome screen and sits there...... The only thing that works is the sleep mode for the screen. every 5 minutes screen turn off (sleep mode) Asus support suggest I let the battery drain and then try again.....this completely sucks.
You tried the force power off 10-12secs power button trick yet?

I went back and read up on the bricking thread...and instead of trying to go into the recovery mode I did a data wipe and now it working (VOL UP after the prompt) .....I am new to this android thing but just wondering how could this happen? I did install some new softwares yesterday could that have cause this issue? Any way thanks guys for your help
It's pretty rare for an app to make a device need a full reset nowadays, but it can still happen. It's more likely you had some OS bug though to be honest. If your transformer gets into difficulties in the future then try the force power off method as it seems to right quite a few wrongs. Anyways glad you got it working again.
To me it sounds like the update was still actually stored in your memory and ran itself again which is why you saw the android screen with progress bar. Looks like you clearing data got rid of the update file.

I have no idea what happen. Couple of days ago I did drain the battery and it after charging it up it did boot up fine.
This just happened to me......and now my transformer isn't wanting to boot up using volume up+power.
Doh, volume DOWN + power lol. Wiping data, hopefully it fixes it. Hassle though. Gonna have to redownload a bunch of apps now ugh.
Happen again....and it looks like VTL Launcher.1.6.2 is the software that is causing it to not boot up correctly. This is the same app I installed Sat. night and come Sunday after a shutdown it will not boot up. Tried it again today, and its not booting up.....ahhhh
What is this hard boot up you guys talking about? I held onto the power button for 5-6 seconds and I got the Asus EEE pad screen and then get the welcome screen and it just stays there. ahh looks like I have to wipe out the tablet again..not cool at all....... btw after installing VTL Launcher I also set it to default could this be the cause of it not booting up?
Same issue here...
So, I am getting the same problem here...
Wipe works and then it loads the rest of the way, but I cant get it to load without a full wipe.
I do have VTL installed, so that may be the case. I cant imagine that doing it though.
Anyone else have any more information on this?
Thanks!

Yeah my advice dont use VTL.... IF VTL is set as default launcher and if you try to reboot it will get stuck at the welcome screen. The issue is VTL. I am using ADW right now and the issue is gone.

If you dont select VTL as a default launcher then you shouldnt have no issues rebooting your TF even if its installled. Its just annoying cause every time I hit the home button the system ask me which launcher do I want to use. So if you want to use VTL as default then make sure you dont reboot. If you need to reboot then remove VTL as default before rebooting your TF

sounds plausable - i had a similar problem on my HTC Desire with early releases of SPB Mobile Shell. Fine until reboot and then just looped. luckily i had a nadroid i could recover to.
My advice is always keep at least one backup on your device
Fixed: stuck booting when VTL is set as the default launcher.
Yikes found this thread, Why would ASUS make the default launcher so tightly coupled???
Edit: heres the easy fix using adb to uninstall vtl launcher
Install java/adb
plug in your transformer to your PC using the propritary dock->usb cable. Your transformer should be at the ASUS loading page (stuck indefinitely)
install the usb/adb driver. On windows 7 this was automatically downloaded and installed from windows update. size=8.5MB
open a "cmd" window, run this command: "adb devices"
This is what I get and it verifies that adb is talking to the transformer.
Code:
C:\Users\meeeeee>adb devices
List of devices attached
37c624540e14597 device
run this command at the cmd prompt to uninstall VTL launcher. Root not needed, usb debugging needs to be turned on.
Code:
adb uninstall com.vtlab.launcher
you should see a "success message"
Look at your transformer it should be at the login screen.

I just got my dock and it's wondeful, unfortunately it doesn't wake up with the touchpad or the usb mouse as it does w/ my tf101. I have to press the power button for it. I have latest asus firmware 9.4.3.26-20120416.
I've been looking all over settings controlling this function with no success.
Does anybody have the same issue?
Try settings -> ASUS customized settings -> Mobiledock Powersaving mode, and uncheck that, see if it fixes it.
Already tried that, only works once after rebooting. then just doesn't work anymore. another bug to add to the infamous list of asus android tablets.

do you mean you use TF300 dock with TF101?
because your title is tf300, but you mentioned tf101 in thread...
I reported this bug to Asus. It wouldn't hurt if other people reported it also so maybe they fix it quicker.
When opening my tf300 tablet while connected to the keyboard dock on firmware .17
the screen would wake. Now since the OTA to .26 firmware the screen does not wake
when opening he tablet. I have to push the power button to wake the screen.
Customer support suggested a factory reset which did NOT fix the issue. (I knew it
wouldn't).
Don't have the same issue here since disabling sleep on dock under asus settings.
I also have this problem. I also unchecked dock sleep in asus settings. We are missing something here. We will find it.
well im glade i read ALL THE posts. im currently bumping this to get more attention, i agree , my tf101 turns on when opening the screen as well. my tf300 i noticed it day one NOT doing this. i told my wife this is a really good reason to return it. it bugs hard core.
again the issue is opening the tab with dock the unit wont wake automaticly. closing it turns the unit off right. the lazy side of pressing a button is a nag to me.

Mine works correctly as well.
Any idea how much of a battery drain this is though? The description in the ASUS Custom settings for this says it will conserve battery if this feature is disabled. That always worries me.

Hi all,
Did the JB update, everything looked good. Decided to do a cold boot (power off, volume down/power, wait) because some people suggested it helped with getting max performance.
Now the notification area does not work anymore. It still shows the time and wifi connectivity, but no 'new mail' notifications, no 'SD card mounted' and I cannot tap it to get to the settings etc. Tried another cold boot, no help. Normal restart, no luck...
Help please? Maarten

First unmount your SD card. Also remove any widgets on your home screen that toggle wifi, gps etc...Then cold boot your tablet. Once thats done, mount your SD and that should trigger the notification bar pop up.

I just took my 32gb card out and popped it back in. This is annoying that the notification bar would do this in the first place!

I would think hard reset (right term) is reset through a pin hole on the device. Factory reset is considered soft reset!
Did the update, factory reset. Everyhing is buttery. All is well except now the wifi signal indicator in the notification area does not show anything but gray. regardless of signal strength. Shows the bit int he middle of the icon that I take to mean it is transmitting or receiving but no pulsing blue indicating varying signal strength. Not a big deal of course, just wonder why and if anyone else experiences the same.

that's why I don't recommend people to do cod boot unless you have issue. Cold boot on JB is funky, not like .30. On the .30 version, It only could get better, but on JB, I learned a hard way when I did a cold boot and my table started to reboot randomly and give me blank screen.
Interesting... I'm having the same issue every so often, though rare. This didn't happen before the Jelly Bean update.
I always have to turn my unit off with a long press and then back on again and everything is okay. I haven't figured out what's causing the notification area to freeze in the first place. And someone mentioned a dot (icon) in the notification area which means it's locked. I have never seen a dot, ever, in the notification area.
Other than the home screens having the occasional lag (it can be up to a long 10 seconds) when turning from landscape to portrait or vice-versa, and the notification area freezing (rarely), everything is great. No regrets in my purchase, but still disappointing for a $500 device.[/FONT]
Before I upgraded to JB, I used to be able to wake the device (turn on the screen) by hitting any key on the keyboard. I seem to have lost this ability after upgrading to JB.
Anyone have a similar issue?
Thanks!
Yep noticed this yesterday myself.
Opening the dock or the old fashioned way of doing it with the power button seems like the only way for now.

Go to Asus custom setting and make sure dock power saving is not checked. By default, I think it is checked. I took the check out and now works.
I knew there was something somewhere.
Cheers mate.
I am having the same problem so I checked and removed the check mark in the Asus custom settings and it seemed to work. A little while later after the tablet went to sleep it would not wake up without pushing the power button. I'm on a bone stock TF700 (unrooted). Any ideas?
Thanks!

I went there and it was already unchecked.
Still having the problem. If it helps, I am rooted.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've been aware of this issue from the first day on JB. When I flashed the OTA it was off, so after the flash it was still off. However, it didn't work. I had to turn it on then back off and it worked again. For a little bit. Its a very wonky feature now.

Hi all - my TF700 has been solid for about 9 months, but this past weekend the touchscreen started getting wonky and now it will work for 5-10 seconds and then not register any touches, until the power button is toggled to put it to sleep and then wake up and go through the process again. In my research, it appears as if this can be addressed through recalibration of the Touchscreen.
However, I don't even know if that's possible with my current stock/rooted setup. I did try booting into recovery, but I saw the RCK/Android/Wipe Data prompts, and didn't want to go anywhere without knowing what each would do. I'm guessing maybe the Android button, but I'm not sure.
Is there an easier way to recalibrate the touchscreen without doing a factory reset, or going to a new ROM yet?
Thanks!
This may be a hardware problem with the digitizer going bad. I would contact Asus, they probably will recommend a factory reset and you should try that anyway.
But a custom rom will not take care of this problem - at least I do not think this is software related....
Good that you are still under warranty!
FYI:
RCK will boot into the stock recovery which will not do anything unless you have an update file downloaded somewhere on your storage - it'll just show you an Android falling over with it's belly open a ! triangle. Scary if you don't know what it is! LOL
Android will boot you back into your system. This is a so called 'cold boot' and you could try that. I doubt it'll help, but it won't hurt either.
Wipe Data does exactly what it says. You better have everything you care about backed up before you execute that command.
You use the Volume Down button to navigate between the icons and the Volume Up to execute.

Hmmm. after enabling Developer mode (so I could d a Titanium backup), I decided to enable the touch sensing, and what I've found is that it appears as if there is a spot in the northeast quadrant (while holding vertically, with buttons on the right/dock connector on the left) that gets stuck in the 'touched' sense (the little dot sticks, and in the kindle reader, it acts like the text is selected).
Sometimes it gets unstuck when pressing the power button to sleep, and then re-logging in via the lockscreen code I have set. Sometimes it doesn't. I guess I'll contact support and see if I can capture it on video with my phone.
