[Q] Random reboots after 9.4.5.30 update - Asus Transformer TF700

Hi
I don't know why I start getting random reboots after the 9.4.5.30 update, does anyone have similar issue? Is it a way to check what causes the reboot?
Thank you

No reboots but seems that I can't play any games anymore. They crash almost immediately

Aarrghhhh!!! I can confirm this.
After updating to .30 "Virtua Tennis" and "Fishing Superstars" are crashing randomly. Oh no...that's bad, ASUS!

I had the same issue with reboots after updating to the .30 update. I did a factory rest through the stock bootloader and haven't had it happen since.

Thanks for the hint. Factory reset currently in progress... :fingers-crossed:
EDIT:
Didn't solved the problem. I wiped the device three times but still the same issue:
e.g. in "Fishing Superstars" there are two different things:
the app closes randomly (back to home screen). The app is still listed in the task list.
the screen flashes with the last image displayed. The sound is still playing and the game is still running (different sounds). Moving to homescreen and go back via task list restarts the app.
No1. also occurs in "Need for Speed: Hot Persuit" and "Virtua Tennis".
Looks like that the problem only occurs when the game graphics significantly changes...
But I didn't had the problems BEFORE updating to .30.
I don't like these kind of "stability fixes". Any ideas?

phone miniapp popping up randomly

Is anyone experiencing random pop ups of the phone miniapp ? It happens to my several times a day, both with the tablet on or off. Quite annoying.
P_
Yes same here.

Im also having this issues now. It just randomly popups after unlocking. This happened after installing an update from samsung apps.
just an update, afer uninstalling those 2 updates from samsung apps. The mini phone app stopped popping up. Tested it for the whole afternoon.
Unconfirmed. Downgraded the Samsung app application, and for a few hours I was OK. Just when I was about to confirm it was working here it pop up again.
Nope it did not work for me. I still have occasional pop up of the phone mini app, even with the upgraded firmware KL3
i also experienced this when i was on DXKL1. Then I flashed my GTab+ with DXKL2. I also did a factory reset, cache wipe, and wipe dalvik cache. Then it never occurred again. I am now on DXKL3 and I still haven't encountered it.
same here as well..
i also get sudden popups from the phone mini app. no other mini app does that and some times when it keeps showing up more often i restart and it becomes less frequent. i was bugged about this ever since i bought my p6200 and kept trying to reproduce the situation or take note of the time it occurs and the conditions of my tab at that time. i have gone through 3 software formats since i got the tab (not related, just fooling around ) and i became less and less optimistic of spotting a pattern to the problem.
after reading this thread i checked samsung apps and turns out i haven't even opened it since the latest format but i had on several occasions witnessed the phone miniapp popping up.
i've just updated the samsung apps and will report if the problem arises again. i hope it doesn't though, lol
Yep, it does happen even on DXLC1. Whenever it happens, i found that going to the settings & ending contacts from running apps helped solve the problem though.
Cheers!

is the "kill the contacts app" a temp. fix or a fix for the general problem
btw..i had the phone app popup on me today twice, so no go on my scenario as well.

Recent Apps Bug

When I press the recent apps key while in the home screen, the lower part of the screen flickers. This happens when there are a lot of apps on the list. Has anyone else noticed this problem? The flicker is more like diagonal.
Here's a video:
I've seen it before on my tf101 as well

No idea. Hopefully Asus releases kernel source soon so devs can find all the screw ups.

Doesn't happen on my TF. You are probably using some old app that is causing issues on ICS.
Appears every now and then for me too. Doesn't annoy me too much, but I think there will be some minor updates by Asus that fix some bugs. I'm really curious how the support of the TF101 will be in the future, as there is the newer Prime now (and some other Tablets coming). What do you think, will we see official Jelly Bean for the TF101 by the end of the year or so or will we need to use CM10?
This happens on my TF also. I have noticed that the YouTube app also sometimes makes a similar graphical effect, and then recent apps + being in the YouTube app usually makes the tablet go crazy.
This is also very similar to the 'screen tearing' seen on the TF201, which leads me to believe its software, and will be ironed out by asus in time.
There is no problem with the recent app list on my transformer, but I've this in You Tube homescreen - the You Tube logo on the upper left corner is flickering.

For those who are not experiencing this, are you using a custom rom or stock? Also, this happens if there are more than 7 items on the recent apps list. I think this problem is related to the launcher itself. I tried iLauncher, and there is no flicker on the screen when I press the recent apps button.
I tried the SPB launcher and seems to be working fine.

Using Them EOS ROM, have the flicker with stock launcher and Apex but not with ADW EX launcher.
Guess since Apex is based on the stock it's happening with it too
I have it when I type on YouTube sometimes..

I've been through different ROMs -- ARHD and Revolver but same thing happen. I noticed though that this issue does not occur when the TF is upside down.
I finally found a temporary fix: hold down the key a little bit longer but not longer that it will take a screenshot. I hope this will be fixed on the next updates..
is a mistake that will have to fix asus.
I put several roms, several launchers ..
and any such error does not happen, except if I open more than 15 different applications, the error appears!
if placed vertically does not appear that annoying error.
Never had that issue. Not on stock (.17) or team EOS nightly which Im running now.
Im using nova launcher.

Why does Google Maps act so busted on the Infinity at times?

I'm noticing that I have to restart my tablet often when I want to use Google Maps otherwise the app will force close on me back to the home screen when I launch it.
I know I can't be the only one experiencing this issue.

You would probably get more responses in the Infinity forum, which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1661
Personally, I haven't had any issues with Maps force closing (or any apps FCing, really). Is Maps updated to the latest version? If so, try wiping the apps data and cache under Settings > Apps > Maps and see if that helps.

Mods, do you magic and please move this thread.

Here is how I have solved it on mine for the time being.
1. Clear cache, data and uninstall updates from apps
2. Shut down infinity and restart holding down volume down and power to instigate a cold boot (clears cache)
3. You can try maps if you want but I then installed the upgrades from the market and it has worked fine since.
My Google maps is also very much broken and crashes all the time... Very annoying.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
From what I've read, the Maps issue is mostly due to the well-known "OpenGL Out Of Memory" issue, which exists on all of Asus' ICS releases (even on the TF101). This "bug" causes all sorts of instability in a lot of apps including Maps and Gmail. Any time you start having issues, just open a terminal window and type this to see if that is your problem:
logcat -d|grep -i opengl
Usually, you'll see the OpenGL out of memory errors...
Unfortunately, other that waiting for the Jelly Bean update (which, from my understanding, *does* fix this issue), there really isn't much you can do other than rebooting the device - that will get rid of the problem for a few days until it comes back.... It's a really bad bug that Asus never addressed in ICS, for whatever reason...

JB Update Now - How's It Going?

I''m just now installing JB. It didn't seem to run as smoothly as I expected so I''ve done a complete factory reset. I'm having a little trouble getting the weather widget to run . It keeps saying there' s no connectivity yet I know my WiFi is up and running . I''m also downloading all my apps, so everything is kind of slow right now. I thing I''ll be using Apex Launcher since the default launcher still doesn't have many features. It also doesn't us all the possible screen real estate.
Looks like I finally got the weather widget set correctly. It took a factory reset but I think a factory reset is the way to go for this new softwear update. I''ll update after all my apps finish downloading.
I didn't factory reset and mine already runs amazing. Not sure if I necessarily see need for it.
Got my factory reset all done and downloaded all my Google Play apps. I'm getting a constant notification that I have a Google Chrome update but everytime it trys to download, I get an error. It says something about "cannot download due to server error.
Everything else seemed to download pretty quickly. I am using Wizz widgets and have noticed that I cannot log in to the Facebook or Twitter wideget unless I have both applications on my tablet and have already logged into them! Not sure that's the way it always worked.
I did install Apex Launcher and it's running pretty smoothly. The only problem is that I cannot get the weather widget to showup after a reboot! I'll need to work on that. I have also noted that some of the app lists don't seem to scroll as smoothly as before or as I would expect. I did have one Apex Launcher crash so far but it recovered pretty quickly.
My TF700's been running JB for only a little while. I"ve shut it down and restarted a couple of times just to see if it gets better. Time will tell. Now to try out Netflix and Hulu+ to see if they work OK.
All is well with my update, I suppose. Had to disable Browser2ram. Kept getting permissions notifications, over and over.
Biggest issue fro me so far: I no longer have a power control widget. What's up with that?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
We'll so far everything is working just great. I've looked at a Netflix movie, Hulu+ movie, and viewed a number of YouTube vids and all ran very smoothly. No stuttering or anything. I also noticed that Netflix scrolling is smooth the way it should be. I've ran both the default browser through a number of web sites and haven't experienced a single crash. The same with Boat browser. I finally got Chrome to complete it's update and I'll be giving it a try.
I still can't get the ASUS weather widget to stay on screen visible. Once I put it on my screen and then go to something else, I come back to an empty space. If I try to put something else there, it shows me the outline of the ASUS weather widget but there's nothing visible. Very strange. I've switched to HD widgets for now.
One thing I did notice with Jelly Bean, you can now place widgets from alternate launchers (Apex and Nova) from the widget drawer. You don't have to place them by holding down on a screen.
Everything seems to be smoothing out. I hope this keeps going as well as it has so far.
My wifi isn't as fast anymore, my phone with cm10 on it gets triple the download speeds using speedtest app side by side. My tablet a little bit of lag that it never had before. I did factory reset also.

So far so good. Loving jb on the 700. Everything seems to be working fine on mine hopefully everyone else is going good also.
To the person above with weather widget I had to fix my settings and that fixed it for me.

Didn't have to do a thing. Exemplary execution of the bean. Everything is smoothly operative.
If I run into anything while more deeply into an app I'll report back.
Thank you Asus.
Running great so far. Haven't tested much outside of the browser and come apps. Overall seems way better and smoother. About to stream it up to the tv so hope all goes well there...
So far so good. Only 1 reboot. Restored to factory. Reinstalled all software. A bit disappointed as I was hoping for better I/O performance and quadrant score. Device still sluggish when reading and writing to sd card.
Anyone tried Google Now?
Tried to trigger it after the update. I tried the unlock ring method as well as the press "Back", "Home", or "Recent" buttons with an upward swipe. I get the little google target. It starts for a split second, then I see the small popup at the bottom saying "network error. Check your connection...". The google search screen comes on and that's it.
Not rooted and I haven't done a factory reset yet as everything else seems to be working well and thought I would post here first to see if anyone else is having the issue.
Thanks, Jim
Games seems to be working well. I've never been able to play Nova 3 before it would always freeze and flicker. No longer. Runs well. Trying out MC3 now see if it gives me those known issues with getting disconnected in multiplayer mode.
Update: MC3 no longer disconnects during gameplay on multiplayer. JB has been a welcome change indeed.

gn works great for me. first time i got that error as well. just go in to your app drawer and set up google now (google icon).
I'm happier with my tablet now, the update makes me feel better about ditching my Note 10.1 for the Infinity.
Some forum apps are loading kind of slow though.

Jelly Bean is a little sticky.....
Downloaded JB this morning and really happy to see Google Now, but didn't really see much of a speed improvement. Maybe cause it was fast already with ICS. Two things are a little confusing. I thought that JB was making the stock browser CHROME, well I still have the ICS stock browser and flash works fine. The other thing is that the tablet sometimes freezes at seemingly simply tasks and completely re-boots.
Do you think a factory reset would help?? Or is there a setting I need to tweak??

Strange Homescreen/Launcher behavior after update

I noticed a bug in the "tap to scroll" functionality of the homescreen. Normally (since hc/ics), you can tap on the left or right of the screen edge to switch screens (instead of swiping). This also works in the app drawer. However, since the update, there seems to be a bug in this area. Here's how I duplicate the bug;
On the home screen, see if you can scroll by tapping on the left or right edge of your screen. If you can not, rotate your screen from landscape to portrait and then back.....now you should be able to scroll via tapping. If you could scroll before rotating, go to the next step....
Now, open the app drawer. The tap to scroll works here also. Now, return to the home screen. Try tapping to scroll again. It will not work now.
To regain the ability, you will have to rotate the screen back and fourth again.
The app drawer doesn't seem affected by this issue. Only the homescreen.
Can anyone else duplicate this issue?
(Just for the record, fresh install of the update)
I can tap to scroll just as I could in ICS. Bit of a shame, since I hate that feature.
I can confirm the "tap to scroll" bug. It works fine until you try to do the same thing in the app drawer and then try to do it on the home screen again - just as the above poster stated... Not a big deal for me as I never used it anyway (at least purposely)....

Although I do use both tap and swipe, its not the end of the world for me either. Just wanted to be sure I'm not the only one.
I'm sure Asus will patch it at some point (although I'm not sure if the intention was to remove it or keep it based on the findings)
Borrowing this thread a bit. I don't have the problem you described however it's related to the home screen.
After the JB update, whenever I swipe to the main screen and the animation is about to end, I get some lag. Always the same kind of lag at the end of the animation and only on the main homescreen... After the JB update I noticed the lag and did a factory reset but now after installing some apps,it's back again. This happens witb all power modes and it doesn't matter if I clean the screen from apps and widgets, still the same laggy partat the end..
Anyone who recognizes this? I'm stock rooted...

Sounds like you have an app causing problems. Try to figure out which app it is... maybe it'll get patched later.

I've noticed the same thing, using Apex Launcher and Nova Launcher (its a very faint lag, almost not noticeable). What launcher are you using? I tried stock launcher and it didn't happen.
Wallpaper does not scroll after JB update. I am using Apex launcher. Does anyone have the same problem?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Hm, I have the same tap to scroll bug.
My wallpaper doesn't scroll either. Using apex or nova it's the same.
And more than that, if I turn the tablet to portrait mode the wallpaper sticks to the top of the screen leaving a big portion of the screen black (without wallpaper) on the bottom.
I have this bug too. It kind of bugs me, because that is my primary way of changing home screens while holding a newborn. I too found that simply rotating the screen will fix the issue, but about half the time I do that, my home screen icons are all missing!
I'm guessing a patch will be coming soon to fix this? (like 6-8 weeks )

Stock launcher.
I have the same bug the OP has too.
Hopefully they can fix this soon.

I'm also getting that exact same problem as the OP. Glad to see I'm not the only one. Funny that only a few people have this problem. I did a wipe data/ factory reset a couple of times and that didn't help either and I don't have any other apps installed as I only now got my Infinity (its only rooted but still locked and on stock ROM). Hopefully ASUS will send out a fix soon. I really miss the tap/touch to scroll on the home screen.
I think that *everyone* who uses the stock launcher actually has this problem... One possible solution is to install the free "Holo HD" launcher (I just confirmed that the touch to scroll feature works) - it's a nice launcher similar to Nova, Apex, etc. It runs really well. Nova/Apex and or Trebuchet launcher might fix this issue as well. Trebuchet is the most similar to stock (almost can't tell the difference). Holo HD, Apex and Nova have more features though...

I can confirm the issue as stated in first post. Works in app drawer, not on home screen. Rooted, stock JB.
