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.

Cold boot it! :good:
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"
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.

You might want to return for a replacement.
I have a C7 serial and have no bugs with the tablet I received from Amazon.
No guarantees yet it might be worth shot. Amazon will treat you right.

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)....

Maybe we should start a new thread and track the serial #s and their defects. Good way to compare range of serials with defects and spot unfixed junk that might be sold as refurbished later
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?
Hi all so the Galaxy S4 has a fair few problems some that maybe software others that are hardware. Right now I'm saying Buyer Beware and I'm wondering if other owners would agree or disagree?
In this video I cover the problems I've had myself, I know others have had different problems.
Be interested to know what everyone thinks...
I've not really experienced any of the problems people are reporting. The only thing I have noticed (which is rather annoying) is random reboots when using either the camera or the gallery and Chrome seems to crash quite often too but obviously this could just be an issue with Chrome and not with the S4.
Never even heard of the wifi or headphones problem.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
None of this problems occurred to me.
1. Tried with my SteelSeries headphones and it never got distorted in any level of volume (I use adapt sound).
2. I played "need for drift" and it got hot after about 10 minutes but not as much as putting the device away. And it was actually after a few benchmarks (such as antutu, quadrant and GLbenchmark 2.5 and 2.7).
3. The rim around my headset is just fine (maybe this is a problem with the s600 variant).
4. In my country the S4 are selling like hotcakes and I was very lucky to put my hand on a headset (I needed to buy from directly from an official store of Samsung for the whooping amount of 3600 NIS [about 1000 USD] since all the retail stores had already sold all their units), only the official stores here have left with headsets and even them sold all their stock very quickly and needed fresh supply every few days.
P.S. My wifi works flawlessly
Im very haapy with the device. Aside from the screen smearing which all s4 phones are affected, it's only software issue can be easily fixed on further updates

I have not had any issues. Amazing phone coming from HOX. I would highly recommend the S4 to anyone.

I'm not seeing any of these issues, either. If I did, I'd chalk it up to being an early adopter. The customers working out some of the bugs is unfortunately the norm these days and I knew that going in. However, mine has been perfect in it's first 2 weeks. This is my first Samsung (wife has an S3) and I am enjoying the change from the much buggier HTC's I've had over the years.
I have just sent mine back due to a crackle at high volume whilst using headphones which are not cheap ones

The prob I'm having is it becomes too hot to hold comfortably, regardless of any thermal trip that will power the device off if its too hot to hold its not much use for gaming after 20 mins. I've also seen games start to stutter more when it reaches this point which may indicate the system throttling back to reduce the temp. I dont think i have overly sensitive skin others that have used it have said it was uncomfortably hot.

As you can see all over the this thread (including myself), no one has faced any issues or bugs as mentioned.
The only thing that happens to everyone (and it is a software problem that can fixed via application from play store) is smearing and it's simply because the software don't turn black pixels back on fast enough so you see smearing when you scroll really fast.
I had a build problem & software probs on my first batch pebble blue S3 i bought last year, main problem was it kept dust around the edges that couldn't be removed, the software probs were sorted with updates, one being the audio quality were it would make a clicking sound when it went into sleep when listeining mp3's, also could have died at any point as it had the bad EMMC.
I recently bought another S3, build December 2012, no probs with build quality and a new revision of EMMC chip.
Just hoping now the build quality better on the 2nd batch can live with the software bugs as they will be sorted at some point.
I want to ask, I've been planning to buy N5 for quite some time. For people who own the device for quite some time now, how is it fairing especially after 4.4.2 update? Thanks for your insights.

You're going to get a different answer from everyone who responds. I'm really happy with it for the most part, except that Google + and Chrome will randomly start running really aggressively in the background and killing my battery. It doesn't happen often, and a reboot seems to fix it, but it's definitely a problem I've noticed.

At least getting some insights from other people will solidify my stand whether or not I will get it.

I've only noticed it since the 4.4.2 update, and I'm just running stock rooted. Maybe it's just me though because I haven't seen anyone else mention this specific issue. In any case, it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the phone. It's still the best device I've ever owned.
I personally think 4.4.2 ruined the battery
Team Nexus 5 sucks
^really bad? Like S3 rooted battery problem bad?
Never owned an s3 but this battery life is bad because I rely on it in my business. I literally have to carry a backup phone since the nexus 5 's battery is non removable
Team Nexus 5 sucks
They'll release a fix soon though, this problem won't be overlooked by Google by the looks of it. A lot of people are complaining on Product forums at Google.
They will but it's taking so long. I've had problems with this phone since early November
Yeah, can I get away with it by NOT installing 4.4.2 and just install 4.4.1? since 4.4.2 has problems?
I think you'll find the majority of users are happy with their N5s. I find the phone to be a superb device. I'm stock unrooted 4.4.2 and have no issues whatsoever. Battery life is perfectly acceptable, I regularly go 2 days with 3½ hours SOT a charge, obviously more SOT if using the device more heavily in a shorter time frame.
If you read available threads you should be able to find all the info you want, and you'll see dicecuber is always complaining about how the N5 sucks and how much better Galaxy devices are. Most of us still can't figure out why he kept the N5.

Great phone, well worth the $350. No lag whatsoever and just buttery smooth. If u like pure android without laggy touch wiz or sense, then this is the phone for u. Camera is very decent, not the best but very acceptable. Battery life seems a little worse on 4.4.2 but still able to get a days use out of it. I have a screenshot of my n5 going 5 days and 6 hrs off the charger, with light usage of course.
Overall its a great phone. For that price, it can't be beat.

Half the fun of owning a phone these days is complaining about short battery life on xda. The other half is trying to fix it. You can install all sorts of utility apps, flash custom roms and kernels, tweak this and that, and then go on one of the dedicated threads and talk all about it. It becomes like a hobby.
That being said, I agree that there will be better battery life on the next KitKat. In the meantime, get an N5 and join in the fun! The phone is awesome.

That's a perfect fix if you don't use either of those apps. If you do, not so much. I'm looking into options to ditch Chrome, and after finding Dolphin to be really fast but crash-tastic as ever, Firefox seems to be working out pretty well. It might be a decent Chrome replacement.
As far as Google+, I'd rather not disable it because I use the Photos app quite a bit. If worse comes to worse, I might have to do it though.

I initially bought this tablet early 2015 (or late 2014, can't really remember). I had watched many videos and read many reviews that agreed with its 'ultimate tablet for gamers' branding. When it is loaded up inside a game the Tegra K1 really shines, and it delivers amazing gaming performance. Outside of games, for me anyway it is ridiculously slow. I have had this issue since day one on android 4.x.x. I patiently waited for updates hoping they would fix my problems but they never did. Many months of waiting and 2 full android releases later, I have decided to post. This tablet =, when it feels like it is a very snappy device. However 99% of the time it doesn't 'feel like it'. often just turning on the display when the device is locked takes multiple attempts and takes a good 10-15 seconds. Then I have to wait for the home screen to load in. First the status bar and wall paper. Then the Icons pop up a few seconds later. For the first few seconds navigating the home screen is near impossible with it lagging so much. It speeds up after a random amount of time. Then for example I go to open chrome. It once again slows right down and it takes a good 20 seconds for chrome to fully load. Then when I try to type something the keyboard lags. (Much in the same way as my iPhone 4s on iOS 9). It sometimes speeds back up but it is never 'fast'. Youtube is a strange one. Often it works fine other times even 480p video skips and lags. My internet is 150MBPS so it isn't that (And i can watch 4k youtube on my PC just fine). Sometimes the device just straight refuses to do anything and the only option is a hard reset. I have had two tablets now (Recall) and both behave the exact same way. That makes me think it must be much more widespread than just me. I have tried everything. Reflashing, Custom ROMS, flashing older versions. Does anyone have anything that may help me. Im half considering dumping the thing and picking up a second hand iPad which ideally I don't want to do. Anyway, sorry for the long post and thank you in advance.
This behaviour is not normal.

Same experience over here. The Wi-Fi sucks no matter what. A custom Rom help stop the bleeding, but w/ everyday tasks it's pathetic. How that's possible is beyond me, but honestly I thought my Nexus 7 2013 was, and still is faster. This tablet is a big let down to me, so I'm looking for a replacement as well. Waiting to see if Sammy is going to release anything soon before I go down iPad mini route...

Yes, the wifi issues. I have almost non existant 5GHz where my iPhone has full signal and 2.4GHz is iffy at the best of times

Where did you guys buy your tablet?
My Shield is ultra fast. WiFi rocks. No performance issues. Consider switching off **app optimization** for it's total bollocks.

Yes, I've heard about MM, which is rather a downgrade in terms of performance. Thus I stick with Lollipop.
I'm not an expert but you certainly can change back to Lollipop. All you'd need is an image of stock lollipop and some tools.
XDA should have all the tools.
I know exactly how you feel, so I did some research and wrote a script, basically journaling is ****ing over our ndevices so hard, I turned it off and its like a whole new device. used to score like 93k in antutu and after disabling journaling, 102k easily

What is **disabling journaling**?
Just got the K1 (brand new) and it came with 6.0.1 installed - only the July security update was pending installation.
All setup and running super quick...
Not sure what's up with yours?
I did read when upgrading from LP to MM you should do a Factory Reset after else it lags like hell. Tried that?
Also - as with all Android new installs - don't "restore settings" when setting up. It seems to slow the device down massively. Had the same issue with my Nexus 5x. Setup as brand new, no importing, and it flies.
Because its crap? These Nvidia CPU's are pants compared to Qualcomm. They overheat without you actually doing anything with them, stall regularly just because you dared to lift up the device, and generally run slow. Benchmarks may suggest otherwise, but benchmarks are real life usage.

The thing is I've used tablets such as the Xiaomi Mi Pad (also with the tegra K1) and some of the Tegra Note tablets with no issues whatsoever. The Shield Tablet is the only tegra-powered device I have ever had issues with

My shield tablet is terribly slow, works OK for a while but slows to a crawl. Memory management seems to be non existent. I'm on MM but was same on Jb and LL

What apps have you running?
Is there a SD card inside? Slow SD cards do slowdown the tab!
