Has anyone had problems with flash in any browser? I can get it to load, but if I go full screen the browser force closes? I might try a factory reset and see if that helps.
I had the same issue, but ICS+ browser it's the only one I could get to work full screen. Otherwise it plays fine until I hit full screen then hands and eventually crashes.

Last article I read about flash when they updated for ICS (long time ago) stated that Adobe had no plans to keep updating flash for Android. So it doesn't sound like it will get any better.
I'm my opinion flash is a POS software. Runs like crap, full of bugs, and security issues.
Been doing my best to avoid using it, but tried it when I got this tablet and had problems like you guys said so I uninstalled. Sucks that some websites are f'ed up but what can you do.
I just picked up my TF300 on Thursday and I've been having some frequent rebooting going on.
It seems like it mostly occurs when I open a newly downloaded app and start going through the settings. Everything locks up, then it simply reboots itself. Thankfully, it doesn't take very long to reboot. When I go back in to the offending app, it generally has been working fine.
The last few big tech purchases I've made (laptop, phone, etc) it seems like they've had a few issues at first, but eventually the bugs get worked out and I stop having problems within a couple weeks.
Is this a common issue, or should I exchange it? I have 27 days left to take it back.

I had a 16G that worked fine. I recently exchanged it for a 32G. The 32G would reboot every time I went to use it after leaving it sit for some time (a few hours?). I did a Cold Boot (holding volume + power -- see google) and it seems to be fixed now. Try that.
Sorry, I didn't specify, mine is the 32GB. Thanks for the info, trying that now.

Mine became more stable after I got the .29 firmware update.
I had a firmware update when I first unboxed it, but it failed the instalation and it says I'm up to date now.

Cold reboot doesn't seem to have had much of an effect. I've had three automatic reboots within the last hour or so.
Also, checked for updates and it says I'm up to date.
Edit:Just happened three more times while navigating around these forums. Plus one lockup where I had to manually reboot. Starting to think about exchanging it.

Mine also keeps rebooting, but i bought it in Edimburgh and now i'm in Spain, so i can't replace it.
I can't use the Asus SAT because i used the "unlock" utility. This realy piss me off
I've tried to unroot, reset the device, not overclocking, even a stress test with StabilityTest app (Google Play, i can't post links), and it keeps rebooting with no sense (attached log down there).
It has rebooted using GMail, watching videos through a browser, playing games... No pattern at all.
After last reboot i have disabled the sound and it seems to be stable, but i'm not sure at all.
My only hope is that the device become fully stable with a custom rom.
Well, I said before things were ok, but now I got home and the device turned itself off. I had to hold down the power button to start it up.
Same problem here in Holland. I have a blue, 32gb 300t (boxcode TF300T-1K129A) which reboots randomly. I own this tablet for one week now and it rebooted about a 30 times or completely freezes. Already submitted an RMA to Asus.
Edit: the RMA was rejected by Asus. They said that I have to reset to factory default thirst, so I did. 10 minutes later... another rebood. I wanted to report this to Asus but in order to do so I had to send a completely new RMA report. Really fed up with Asus I returned the tablet to my retailer and got my money back (no stock of the 300T). Now I ordered a Cube U30GT. To bad, besides the reboots it was a great tablet.
Been having similar issues but I'm in vacation so I can't really do much debugging. My tablet simply shuts down randomly when put in sleep for prolonged periods of time. It'll usually happen once or twice a day with no real pattern to it. I've only had it crash on me once while I was using it, and it wasn't while launching an app or anything in particular.
I'll try the cold boot but unfortunately I'm not getting OTA updates at all... I've rooted and changed the build prop, but I haven't unlocked it. If I can't figure out what's wrong I'll just unlock it and apply updates manually I guess. I know .26 is supposed to fix certain stability issues.

It's in the Play Store. Looks like it puts the entire system through tests. It will keep running until an error occurs, then I think it creates a log.
I downloaded it and let it run for a couple minutes but I don't have the pad with me at the moment.
It said some errors are found in five minutes, but it could take up to 5 hours to find one. I'm guessing plugging it in and letting it run for a while is the best way to do it.
I might run it sometime before I get a chance to take it back to Best Buy. Just out of curiosity.

Alot of people have fixed their problems with a factory rest. I had alot of the same issues and did the reset and now no problems at all. Worth a shot.
I've tried that and it still does it. I'm crossing my fingers that I just got a bad one and I'll be exchanging it tonight after work.

Just to update, I got home with my replacement tablet, and I've been setting it up for the last hour. I don't want to jinx myself, but I haven't had an unwanted reboot yet, which is a vast improvement over the last one. It also successfully installed the firmware update, which evidently, the last one did not do. So far a much better experience.

So yesterday I ran onto a problem:
So I downloaded Riptide GP and then I started the race but in the second turn everything just got messy and the game sounds just continued as I could still hear them. I didn't know what it was but today I got a idea that it may be the force GPU rendering, so I turned it off and tried again so no problems in Riptide,
but in dead trigger and some other games i've noticed a same kinda lag doesn't matter if GPU rendering is on or off. The screen just gets messy but I can hear continuing sounds... and then the game force closes (without any kinda message)
So have you guys had any trouble with performance?
I'm overall quite "disappointed" with the whole tegra 3 I don't think it's "that" good :-[
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
I haven't played Riptide, but I did play Dead Trigger. I didn't notice any lag, but the game was buggy on its own. I would be shooting zombies, then suddenly, I'm turned either 90 or 180 degrees and shooting at a wall. Combine that with the non-continuous look, and I'm frantically making little swipes with my right thumb to turn toward the zombies again. It makes the game unenjoyable (the fact that the story sounds like it was written by an eight year old doesn't help).
As for your lag problems, have you tried the usual troubleshooting methods (cold boot, factory reset, etc.)? I know that GTA3 recommends rebooting the tablet and starting with empty RAM (as empty as it gets, anyway) before you play it, and I have noticed a big performance difference when doing that versus playing with open apps. Maybe you could try that?

Yea that turning issue in dead trigger is really annoying.
Often after a reboot it has helped.
Is cold boot a normal reboot and what is the menu which you get when you press volume down plus power at boot or was it volume up?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
When you press volume down and power while booting, it shows you the bootloader menu. If you don't press anything, it will do a cold boot, which means it clears cache and dalvik cache.

Ok thanks, was it also possible to do a factory reset from that menu?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
Yes. To be honest, though, I may have been wrong about how to cold boot. I think if you go to the bootloader menu, you have to press volume up. I'm pretty sure, now that I think about it, waiting will take you to recovery. Volume up gives you the option to factory reset, boot into Android, or wait 10 seconds to cold boot. Regardless, it will tell you when you get to the menu. Just pay attention to what it says.

I've had GMail crash on me while retrieving mail for two accounts for the last two weeks. I've since changed to MailDroid which is working fine. I tried everything I could think of: cold reboots, app data wipes, factory resets -- I even flashed the new firmware in between -- and nothing helped. I'm glad that I now have one of the main functions of the tablet available again.

I've had the launcher problem quite a lot of times. Just restarting the launcher helps most of the times, but sometimes, it has cleared the screen immediately afterwards. Those times, a reboot has fixed the problem more long-term.

Oh no - the gmail and launcher issue sure do sound similar to the OpenGL issues that folks are having on the TF101 (since ICS upgrade)... I haven't run into that problem on the TF700 yet, but what you describe sure sounds familiar!
To be honest, my TF700 has been rock solid... I just hope it continues to stay that one - the TF101 was a disaster after the ICS upgrade...

I saw this issue this morning. I would open Gmail and then use it for a few seconds and it would just disappear. It didn't pop up a FC window or anything. I rebooted and the problem went away temporarily.
I haven't really seen the Launcher crash, but I have had a few random reboots.
I have not been noticing these problems on mine yet... I'll report back if that changes though.
yep, i just started having the issue with gmail today. it will open, load half way, and then close.

I doubt the cold boot "fixed it". I'm sure it will crop up again.... Rebooting just temporarily clears up the problem. It sure sounds like the OpenGL issues that we have on the TF101 as well. If you are rooted, the next time it happens go to a shell prompt as root and type "logcat|grep -i opengl" and see if you see any OpenGL out of memory errors...

Same here. I was runnng Apex Launcher so I uninstalled it and went back to the standard launcher and haven't had any problems since, with the launcher. gMail is still a problem though. I did a cold boot and it seemed to help but after a day it started crashing out to a black screen again. Also still no error messages or Report dialogs popping up.
Hope someone at ASUS is looking into this. Email is probably the biggest app on a tablet. It is on mine at least.

I've had this issue too. (Gmail crashing or becoming unresponsive)
For me, the easiest fix is to use the Task Manager widget and click the "One Click Clean" button (even though I hate task managers). Gmail works like a champ after that.
Memory issue maybe?
Oh no. I literally just bought an infinity because I am sick to death of gmail being unusable on my prime ever since I bought it in February. Factory resets dont fix it, cold boots don't fix it. Sending it back to Asus to fix was useless.... If it crashes on my infinity too I am going to... well, cry or something.

I had this problem on the tf201. Im pretty confident that this boils down to sloppy OS programming caused by all the firmware updates.
GMail worked fine with the release of ICS, but then when the firmware updates began rolling out the issue started for me. I believe that ASUS, in attempting to correct the weak wifi and bluetooth problems caused by faulty hardware/design on the prime, as well as the wifi battery drain issue, youtube issues, browser issues, random reboot issues, screen tearing issues, etc., have completely screwed up the flow of the OS. Now it seems that everytime they 'fix' an issue, it actually breaks another -- this is a pretty well known fact.
With that said, I believe that this is the main reason behind the super fast release of Jelly Bean (6 Months after ICS release... think about it). It was wise to start from the ground up with JB and incorporate the correct programming to address ICS's problems before they finalize development of the OS... Hopefully the programmers of JB get it right for the Transformer series... But I believe the faults are in the ICS programming and the only reason why some people have the issue and others dont is simply due to the different combination of apps that each individual has on their own tablets... Its just a matter of time before someone else downloads an app that throws the OS for a curveball and causes the problem.... or it could just be flash... who knows, but I firmly believe its a software/firmware combination causing the problems...
I handle criticism well, so if anyone disagrees, please feel free to do so. However, this is just my opinion... It seems like people who are rooted dont have the same issues as those running stock, and for obvious reasons...
Maybe people who have the problem can list the apps they have on their tablets?
Gmail started crashing today on my infinity #*(&#(*#&$(*&#$(*&#$(*& I would KILL for a fix for this.

So I've had my TF700 for almost a year now and I've always had a random reboot issue. Each patch would change, but recently I've upgraded to 4.1.1 Android version (Kernel: 3.1.10-0001) (Build: JRO03.us_epad-10.4.4.25-20121228) and have noticed that the tablet seems sluggish and I'm getting more reboots. Normally if I just read or websurf it wasn't bad. After about a week or so of constant use it would freeze or reboot.
However after the upgrade I've started playing a few games and the device seems to crawl when switching from one app to another (even in performance mode) and the reboots come randomly.
Is there any advice? Should I take it back to bestbuy and trade it in while it is still under warranty?

If you're not into rooting/custom rom etc. which will voids your warranty, you should take it back and exchange for another device like Samsung, nexus etc.., but not another tf700.

Due to Asus's design issue (slow flash memory was installed cause I/O bottle neck), it's not running well with stock rom. If you willing to unlock your device to use custom rom/kernel which make your device fast and smooth but will voids warranty. If you hold on to stock rom, you will be very frustrating about the slowness, stuttering and freezing. With tf700, if an app freeze or or hang (due to I/O poor design issue) will cause your device to reboot. Also a high percentage of hardware defects are to be considered, you better off go with Samsung or Nexus.

The answer is yes and no. There are multiple issues related to random rebooting. Possible reasons: JB software bug, bad apps, wifi driver and hardware. You won't know until you try to fix it. That's is why I recommend not to dive in since you already see "issue" with a brand new device. The risk is on your side more than the good.

Are there any particular tablets out there that somebody would recommend? I'm not a big fan of the Nexus, as nice as it is. I am kind of attached to my SD cards.
To be honest, there really isn't a good alternative if you want the keyboard-dock option.
Also, I'd be willing to bet that most TF700 owners don't have "random" reboots.
However, before unlocking your device, please tell us a little more about your setup - do you have tons of apps installed? What about apps like System Tuner? I'd recommend running as close to stock as possible (least apps installed) and see if the reboots still occur.
Just to clarify, you've had random reboots from day one of owning the device?

Just to add my two cents....
I bought a TF700 last summer. It was fine until the latest round of OTA upgrades from Asus in November or December; then I started getting random reboots as well, and the tablet became slow as a slug in molasses even in performance mode (which I have to set as soon as I boot in order to even get minimally-acceptable performance). I too hate to give up the keyboard and extra storage, but I have to admit this thing has been a disappointment.

Well the random reboots came after the second firmware upgrade. I kind of just figured that it had to deal with until the next firmware upgrade. I tend not to install a ton of applications on the device. I have the google apps (gmail, voice, talk, authenticator, drive, sky maps, skydrive, maps), Games (Rage of Bahamut, Transformers Legends, Tegra Zone), Books (Kindle, Adobe Reader, Comixology), Web (Youtube, Chrome, Netflix) and Kaspersky.
I have held off on the firmware upgrades until I was certain that there wouldn't be a major firmware upgrades coming down the line. The reboots weren't bad. Usually if I left the comixology, kindle, and ran mutliple games for a long time with the system would other slow down or lock up and I would just reboot. After this firmware it would just reboot if I opened a single app and shut off the screen. If it didn't reboot, when I unlocked the screen the device would just become incredibly slow.
I just got off the phone with Best Buy and they said the only thing I would be able to trade for is another TF700 with the warranty I have.

I would definitely not call random rebooting "normal" for the TF700. Obviously, there are some folks that are having issues with random reboots, but I think that is a very small percentage. To be honest, you can do a google search for just about any device + "random reboot" and you'll get results for almost every device known to mankind. I also believe that the problem can usually be fixed by starting clean and slowly introducing your needed apps. Yes, it's a pain in the a$$ and you shouldn't need to do it, but I truly believe that most of these issue can be fixed with a little effort.

Is there an instruction manual for a clean installation?

First download Asus full frimware and unzip the zip file to the root of your microsdcard. Then go into settings -> backup and reset, tab on Factory data reset this will auto boot into your stock recovery and it will wipe data. OR you can boot into stock recovery and select "wipe data". Once done boot int recovery and just wait for few second, it you auto flash the Asus full firmware.

Did you try a fresh install after this happened? Obviously, that kind of slowness is not even close to normal, even for a completely stock device...

No, I haven't yet. I keep hoping there would be another OTA from Asus that would fix the problem. I've rooted my device, but that's all. I've not even installed recovery, and the bootloader is still locked. The reboots don't come often enough that they don't really bother me anymore. What really bugs me is that the tablet was working great until that pair of OTA's at the end of last year. Up till that time I had no reboots and everything was working smoothly. Like an idiot I installed them and now aside from the reboots the response lag is terrible. I can tap on the clock to bring up the menu and it can take up to 5 seconds before the menu even appears.
I'll get around to doing a fresh install one of these days, but I've been too busy.

I wouldn't count on it, since it is not a "known issue" with the TF700, as far as ASUS is concerned...

That might suggest it's an app compatibility issue introduced by the update -- I hope so for your sake. (I've had that happen a few times, too.)

Well... I would hardly call you an idiot for installing a manufacturer-provided update. I must admit I am slowly weening myself off of the Ï have to have the brandnewest bestest EVA update" because I have spent so much time fixing whatever issues a new update brought -- I am slowly beginning to understand the motto if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Given you're still sporting stock unlocked, that's the only route available... for now. Once you unlock and go custom, you'll be happier. :good: Hold on, my friends.
