So it seems I'm getting more and more of these nowadays. At first I thought it might be Battery HD, which I removed, as I didn't remember installing anything else lately which might be running, but today at the very moment I removed the tablet from the dock, it just rebooted (almost) instantly. Wonder if more of you experience this.
I was getting these on the stock launcher yesterday and I'm getting it today while on Nova.
I would really love this unlocking tool right now..
i got mines on thursday and have not had one reboot.

Strange...mine hasn't rebooted once. Check through your tweaks you did, some of those might be causing an issue

After reading your posts...your OBVIOUSLY doing much more to your unit than the average user. Especially since it just started happening to you after you did all these tweaks.
The glowball thread is irrevelant....just because someone is havingan issue with an APP...now all of a sudden its a disease and your unit caught it.....
Comical..
If you expect the unexpected, is there truly a thing as an unexpected reboot?
Well, certainly wasn't expecting it to constantly reboot on undocking, so I guess the pun doesn't work in this case.

Pun? That was no pun. You weren't expecting the unexpected so you were surprised.
I was expecting not to have them... let's just... EOT. I don't see a point in analysing my expectations further, as this was not the issue in the first place. You may call them "sudden" if this helps you settle things in your mind.

At least now we now how you get to over 776 posts with ease. Just put up this kind of crap all over the place. Not really helpful, ey? What kind of Chinese herbal hallucinogen did you use before logging in? It might help your GP or psychiatrist to pinpoint the issue.

Calm down, no need to get all bootybothered, it was just a joke. And besides, I only post this stuff once in a while. Also, I do try my best to help people most of the time but whatever, bro.
I am not a power user by any means, and I can confirm that the machine rebooted a couple of times while watching 720p videos.
Is there a CPU usage/temperature log somewhere on android? That could help track down the origin of these nasty reboots and file complaints to ASUS.
Early Infinity adopters unite!
You can find numerous apps for CPU monitoring in the playstore, but I haven't found one for monitoring CPU temperature (only battery temperature)

I've had at least 2-3 random reboots in the last 4 days. Once it happened while loading up the Facebook app. Another time it happened while browsing the web with the stock browser. Both times the screen when white and had a thin black line down the side, then after 15s the boot screen appeared with the Asus logo.
So far most everything has been working and I've been happy with the Infinity. But having a number of random reboots in a single week and not being able to get an uptime over 2 days is a fairly major problem for me. Note that it is not rooted or tweaked in any way.

I flashed WW firmware yesterday, so no tweaks now either apart from sio, and I already got a reboot while using RepliGo today (which is my primary use of the tablet anyway).

I've never seen so much butt jokes from one person in so short a time. I used to be the champion, but we found the new one.
I wasn't really angry, by the way, but just posting crap like that without anything to add to the discussion (and multiple threads: "maximum butt pain" -- meh), well, that's hardly to be called constructive participation, is it?
Now let's go help some people, then. Unified effort.

Ohh great......now their "BUTT BUDDIES"
If you're experiencing issues with your tablet, I/O related or otherwise, let Asus know!
We can discuss all we want in these forums, but I've yet to see Gary or Tien from the Transformer (Prime) forums showing up here. So until they do, I suggest you let Asus know about these issues by contacting their customer support directly:
http://support.asus.com/contactus.aspx?SLanguage=en
Use the technical inquiry form or the hotline phone numbers and explain your problems with the tablet. Summarize the issues you're experiencing and be polite while doing so. If Asus have any sort of QA system in place (well, one can only hope), there should be alarm bells ringing when a single product gets a lot of technical support issues in a short time frame. Maybe that'll get us some actual feedback on these issues. If that ends up being in the form of Gary or Tien coming into these forums to keep us up to date as well it's even better.
And if you're perfectly happy and content with your newest purchase (and/or you just need to convince yourself that it's perfect since it was so costly): good for you! Also this thread isn't for you.
TL;DR - Whine directly to Asus at http://support.asus.com/contactus.aspx?SLanguage=en
Since you are so "tight" with Gary & Tien...tell them to get in here nd talk with us. We have alot to ask and say!
I have a dead pixel on my TF700.
Can I contact Asus for this ?

Here's the reply I received from Asus regarding the TF700 I/O issues:
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
Internet Explorer 9 Pages Do Not Load (Blank White Page)
This is due to GPU (hardware) acceleration not working which is enabled in Internet Explorer 9 by default. Usually Internet Explorer 9 would detect your GPU doesn't support GPU acceleration and would disable GPU acceleration, however sometimes this isn't the case. To make web pages load you need to disable GPU acceleration. To do this, go into Internet Options -> Advanced tab and from there ensure 'Software Rendering Mode' is checked.

This is what you get when you hire baboons to handle your support questions. I've had responses like this -- mostly in the form of "canned responses" -- from several larger companies. The aforementioned baboons do not actually READ the question, they fire off a response based on a keyword they see (oh, errrm..... lag..... -- <canned response> ). Even the personnel department of my former employer did this. Funny though.

That was the funny part of it, and the sad part, as well. They didn't even read the original question.
I had sent a complaint about the herkee-jerkee and stop-start-hesitate performance, and received a response this AM. Basically it says to do a cold reboot and data wipe; and if that doesn't fix it, do an RMA.
The cold reboot did not really do much, if anything; but I'm going to hold off on the RMA with hopes that Asus can do a firmware or software update to fix the problem. We can hope!
I have to find it, but i remember seeing a blurb from the asus tech guys that they were aware of this issue and planning on getting a update out very soon.
I think it was from Mark Tien about a week ago. Usually asus is good about releasing firmware updates to fix these sort of issues. I have always had good updates and support with mboards.

Yes! Thank you. It was the one from Gary Key and it was on the 16th July.
Im now on 5th day with my TF700T.
So far it have been mixed feelings about it.
I love the keyboard, dont think i can have a tab without a keyboard in the future.
There is also no other tablet out there that have what I want.
The thing that worries me a bit is the lag on the device. Sometimes I must wait several seconds before it responds. And this is not the touch screen, becouse when I just wait, it will do what i wanted. This is not fun when you are sufring a simple webpage.
Will Asus fix this lag in the Jelly Bean 4.1 update?
How about people that have rooted (custom rom) their devices, do they have the same issues?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
ummm, i dont think anyone on here can answer that question. JB is a google OS update.
Try resetting
Then check the firmware version.
The only delays I see after tapping are when web browsing.
Everything else is snappy as far as snappy can be under Android.
Are you running in the balanced mode?
First thing I did was root mine and freeze all of the useless crap they preinstall. Havent ever had any lag issues.
I'm in the same boat as the OP. Have had the tablet just less then a week. I very surprised at just how poor the performance is on this. Here are some of the issues I'm having:
-If I leave the web browser app for other apps and then come back to it, my web pages reload. It's like the multitasking fail that is present on the HTC EVO 4G LTE or HTC One series only not as pronounced.
-Some Flash heavy websites are so choppy and laggy. Scrolling is very choppy.
-The Netflix app is almost unusable. Scrolling through my queue seems like it's getting about 5 frames per second. Oddly enough, actually watching movies plays perfectly if I can manage to scroll to select the right movie
-Some games, even ones that are promoted through the Tegra Zone are very laggy.
I really want to love this tab. It's so great for me in so many other ways but I can't live with it if this is what I can expect
I'm rooted, not unlocked, stock ROM. I've been running in performance mode. I've tried with and without Nova Launcer. I've removed or frozen everything I dare to using TB. I've looked through this and other forums for tips on improving performance but so far nothing has helped. Do I have a lemon? Are these problems common? Is this what this tab is? Please help, really want to get this thing running like I'm pretty sure it can.
im going to go ahead and assume that asus had a bad batch of tf700t's go out. i had one with the same problem and i returned it, got a new and havent experienced the same problem again. so fast and snappy that jellybean will just make this tablet crazy.
Because of some problems i have with my pad i have decided to factory reset it a week ago.
Since than the experience is sooo much better. Didn't solve my problem though

Not sure what to tell you...
I don't have any really bad slowness.
Kind of sounds like a bad processor or gpu core or other hardware bug like maybe ram errors.
IMO wouldn't say these are common problems.
*Just curious does your serial# on the bottom of the tablet start with a C6 or is it C7?
No problems here, either. I haven't rooted or done anything to mine except install updates and some apps I like - nothing that alters it really. Super happy with mine. Sorry you're having problems, but maybe you should exchange it, as previously suggested.

C6. From Amazon maybe 4 days ago. Is that older or more known to have issues. I'm still well within my return period from Amazon. If C7 is known to be better it would be worth it to me to return it and buy it from a store where I can look at the serial number on the box first. Thanks for the replies... Didn't mean to hijack the thread but it seems the op and I are having the same issue.

The tablet serial number can be found on the box the tablet came in and on the bottom of the tablet itself on a sticker (on the part of the tablet that would go into the dock if you use one).
The only difference between a C6 serial number and a C7 serial number is that one was manufactured in June and one in July (the number after the C is the month it was manufactured in)....

For my limited use, the lag and freezing was driving me nuts. Of course, I've been down this road before with the Prime. Eventually the Prime community found the tweaks and mods to make it fly, and I admit it was part of the fun to experiment and find ways to squeeze more performance and stability from the tablet.
My problems with the Infinity seem to exacerbate when RAM goes below 200k. I can see this from the Cool Tool widget. When I get below this level, the browser is generally unusable. I use a tool called startup cleaner to minimize what launches and tried to keep widgets to a minimum but my RAM seemed to always run low. Based on this same experience with the Prime, I changed the setting in developer options to limit background processes to 2. This does a good job keeping RAM above 400K, and when I do this it runs very well. No lag or ANRs, and everything seems very fluid.
This was an early temp fix with the Prime until other mods caught up, so I don't expect this to be required long term. However, the results are really are dramatic so far and enough to keep me from going the Note 10.1 route.

That's a good tweak, and one I hadn't tried before, so thanks!
If you're unlocked, I would advise you to run...don't walk, and flash TWRP recovery and then the Zeus rom v 4.0. This is a totally different machine on that rom.
There is also the trick of turning off animations in Developer Options or set the scale to .5. That helps with smoothness, too.
My advice is not to exchange over simple lagginess if all other hardware issue are ok. There is so much more that can and will be done on the software side, but if you exchange, what if you get a tab with a major hw problem?
I know that many people are happy with the TF700 tablet. But I can not ignore that there is a certain percentage of people who received defective tablets.
I want to know if Asus, with the number of returns that will surely have received, taking a responsible attitude, reacted quickly and made changes to the tablet. My question specifically is:
Can anyone confirm if the most recently produced TF700 Asus come with fewer problems than the initials?
Personally, I don't think that enough time has passed for Asus to make any sort of manufacturing changes in order to fix any of the physical defects that some are seeing... I'm sure it takes time to change the manufacturing process and go through existing stock, etc - the device has only been out for what 75 days or so? I highly doubt that the physical design has changed at all yet (if they ever change it at all)...

I was unaware that the Prime's problems were addressed. I went through several of them through the RMA process and even have seen purchases much later on and the same problems were still present. If you got lucky and happen to get a "good" one then you were very lucky. People still with Prime's, is Asus physically making changes to the tablet?

Only good part about the prime was exchanging it for my infinity. Honestly if it was manufactured correctly and the bt/wifi issue didn't exist it would have been a terrific tab. Asus is quick w updates, generally uses good hardware, and the Tegra3 is fast and really good on power IMHO. My infinity is as good on power on "balanced", (performance drains quick), as my Prime was.

I just returned a TF Infinity earlier this week that I bought last month. The tablet had horrible screen lift everywhere except for the corners. Even with the world focusing their sights on Asus and the Nexus 7 Asus still hasn't been able to fix the screen lift issues so I can't imagine the Infinity having it's issues fixed first.

Yeah Asus addressed the Primes issues.....by releasing the Infinity and discontinuing the Prime. Prime owners still had the last laugh though by being able to return for a full refund.
Hello,
I've had my tf700 for a couple of weeks now. Things started off pretty well with it, but now it's starting to give lots of keyboard problems.
Sometimes it goes nuts typing a string of letters like a key is held down, sometimes the last key i pressed, sometimes random.
Sometimes on wakeup, the keyboard won't work, but the trackpad does.
Sometimes nothing works, but the notification area shows docked.
Sometimes when these issues are happening, i can't open the notification menu. Touching it does nothing.
Sometimes a cold boot fixes the problem, not always.
Any ideas? Is it commonly this flakey? One of these issues has been happening at least daily for about a week. It's stock, no root, all updates. It came from Best Buy, so I can return within 30 days. Should I return it for a replacement? Different model?
Thanks for any insight.

I have done cold boot with and without the dock attached, doesn't seem to make a difference. I discovered tonight that when the notification thing is not working, it will start working when the tab recieves a msg or something. This also started the keyboard working tonight after multiple cold boots did nothing.

That's an issue that came with Jelly Bean. There's a lot of threads on it.
The other issues I haven't heard of yet. The Best Buy part isn't a shock, 90% of the faulty TF700's mentioned on this board came from Best Buy.....

No that I care about BestBuy one way or the other, but don't you think the reason may be that a lot of tablets were bought at Best Buy period? Faulty or not? They are one of the few brick and mortar places left if you don't want to buy online.
I have a hard time imagining that Asus produces sub-standard tablets especially for Best Buy. And I think BB would scream bloody murder if their return rates were considerably higher than "normal" for any particular product.

Fact remains that not a single EU user has complained about the issues BB buyers do. Assume from that what you will, but in Europe they do sell them in stores, and in some countries well before the US sell date. So no, it's not the tablet itself.
I suspect BB got a lousy batch, and BB just assumes it's the product's default state. People keep getting they product swapped for another from the same batch which is not going to do any good.
