[Q] tf101 reboot / shutdown when go to sleep - log files? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
please, apologize if that was covered somewhere, but I didn't feel like I found my case.
I've got Asus Transformer tf101 with 3G. Rooted, flashed with CyanogenMod 9 and then with the latest night builds a month ago - before that it was updated with the latest Asus firmware.
Every time the tablet go to sleep, when running from battery - it's either shutdown itself or reboot itself.
Tried: disabling WiFi, setting CPU limit to the highest, disabling lock screen, changing brightness, tried to check for the log files, but don't have any kmesg_last or anything else like that.
Could you, please, assist - at least with finding the log files to get an idea on what's wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the world of random reboots and sleeps of death. This is a common occurrence with a lot of folks on the TF101. The only things you can try is to either endure it or reflash/flash another rom. I'm on EOS 4 and I used to be on CM10 and have experienced both these issues on different releases of each rom. I've been on #101 of EOS 4 now and havent had any sleep or restart issues yet but time will tell.

Thanks, it's nice to be part of something... big! =)
Yeah, I'm already trying the EOS 4 - it seems to be at least a bit more stable and, apart from everything, it looks a bit better than the CM. Will keep testing - hopefully it will work.

AOKP charging while off

I am on AOKP B31 without fast charge enabled but seem to have a problem with the phone charging when off. If I plug it into a USB or wall charger, both samsung, the initial battery screen will come on but after the screen turns off it will not turn back on. I left it there for 30 min turned it on and it showed 50% more battery. We all know with a samsung that is not possible. Just want to see if others are having this issue, or a fix.
Thanks in advance.
I am sporadically having this issue as well- Samsung charger, AOKP b31. I will play with it over the weekend and see if I can figure anything out. For the moment I am not seeing this behavior, but initially after flashing I did...
I have not had this issue on any other THS or AOKP build and I have used a lot of them. The last one I was on was milestone 4 and it was fine.

Hmm, still doing it. Setting the Min CPU to 200MHz has not helped, as I have seen posted elsewhere. Charging screen turned off at some point, and when I booted up it was at 64% (from 7%). I'm not super worried about it though, seeing as how I flash like crazy and will not be on Build 31 for any length of time. If I get this on other builds or other Roms I will update again.
Edit: Build 32 is out, so I am going to flash and see if that resolves the issue. I am wondering is this is a kernel issue, as the Glitch for Build 31 was the first time I had switched from Glitch version 14 beta 6. Maybe I'll try the Semaphore kernel if the issue remains.
I flashed 32 and it still is the same issue. Also tried the min CPU increase but nothing. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. My concern is that it will continue to charge after 100%.

read the first post of AOKP. report bugs where it tells you to. they will not look here, or will they care if they do look here, if you do not follow their instructions for reporting bugs.
look to see if the bug exists, and if it is there, click the STAR to vote for the issue as that page says to do.
I have read the OP but I did not want to flood the bug tracker if it was a problem already found or known. I did not have the 10 posts needed to post in the development section, so I figured start this to see if anyone had an issue. I know how much everyone hates the development thread being diluted with dumb question after question. I did report it on the bug reporter site.
P.S. - Thanks for your essentials mod, makes everything much easier.
Just wonder - will disable fast charge help?
I have not enabled fast charge. I thought that only effects charging when on USB? I could be wrong though.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
I have been testing with both i897 and i9000 bootloaders. This may be a Glitch kernel issue, as I have flashed Semaphore ICS kernel 1.0.0 and have not seen this. Looks like there is already a bug reported in the AOKP page. Not a huge concern though, I think, because the phone seems to charge nevertheless.

Have you tried going back to stock with Odin?
Not sure if your issue is the same as mine, but after I went back to stock it seems to have corrected the issue. It still seems to warm up a little when I'm using it a lot (playing a game, looking at the LOL Droid app, but not, oddly, playing a video) but the battery issue seems to have been solved.
I know that using the phone is going to make the processor run faster, and that faster processor speeds can definitely contribute to heat build up. Do you have a case? If so, take it off. If not, maybe give the phone a break every now and then? I don't know.

You never know...it could be the weather around here
I would install Better Battery Stats (if you don't already have it installed) and monitor it for wakelocks to see if something is preventing the phone from deep sleeping.

Agreed az is known for pure heat not humidity thank god lol but I will check my wake locks again again and try to find what's cause media scanner only runns once at boot otherwise doesn't need to run. But I think I might switch back to stock and see if it does it on rot stock

Fresh install of cleanROM 3.0.4?

So I finally bit the bullet and rooted, unlocked and flashed cleanROM on my TF700. I wiped both caches (or so I thought) but when I rebooted not much seemed to have changed. I guess I was expecting to have to completely reinstall all my apps and settings. However, all of the my apps and icons where right where I left them. Matter of fact at first I couldn't even tell anything had changed until I looked at the "about tablet" section and saw that the build version was in fact cleanROM.
Don't get me wrong, this thing seems to fly now, but I can't shake the feeling that I missed something during flashing. Was there an option I missed or should I have wiped it?
Thanks.

No.
You did it perfectly. :good: CROMI is a stock based ROM and as such you get to keep all your data, apps and settings.The look is stock too
What you do get is root, performance tweaks (memory, zip aligned, cpu, touch sensitivity, dpi), updated Asus and google apps, extra apps installed to system, system apps removed if you didn't select them as well as other tweaks, functionality (swipe JB keyboard, smoother scrolling, faster performance, faster kernel, ad blocking) if you selected them
Make sure you install the 3.0.4 patch if you havent done so already.
I also bit the bullet today, not regretting it so far. Cleanrom is sweet!

Hang on you did install 3.0.3 first right?
Hi
I am really happy too with cleanrom 3.0.4, but there is one little problem. I get random reboots now and than. Can not find a reason for them. Sometimes playn a game, than reboot while reading news site in browser or a mail in anmail app.
Nothing special. Can i give someone any reports or logs so that the problem Can be located?
What are the best ways to try to solve this?
Factory reset? Or using different kernel or something?
Right now:
Tf700 with cleanRom inheritance 3.0.4

Which kernal are you using? Fsync Disabled?
Reinstall the rom but choose the stock Asus tf700 kernel. Does it still reboot? Did you update to the jelly bean bootloader from asus first?

I believe I'm using the 1.5... The one below the highest. almost too many options but fsync enabled. Yes I did update bootloader and I will have to reflash later not at the tablet at the moment.
Does disabling Fsync really speed things up? What is the likely hood of things going wrong?
My benchmarks where off the charts! In the 7000's using Quandrant and like 20 seconds using sql light. Also, I noticed transferring files from the memory card to the tablet was much faster.
Even though benchmarks are nice, it's real world performance that counts. The whole reason I unlocked and flashed was because I was tired of waiting 3 to 5 seconds for the apps to start loading when I selected then. Now they start so much faster. Not as fast as my razr hd maxx, but one can dream.

Has anyone noticed if the lag/skipping when playing mp3's from either the sd card or internal memory still occurs after all the tweaks in this rom? Speaking for me, that is my biggest complaint with my device. I can deal with the few extra seconds to open an app but can't stand to hear music skip every 15-30 seconds.

Never had this, even with the stock ROM. This is not normal, check for CPU-intensive or I/O-intensive background processes.

It would also be good to know which music player. I definitely don't have this problem. But what are you doing at the same time as listening to music?

I'd recommend starting off with the stock kernel. It could be that your TF700 can't handle the overclocking. I would also definitely keep fsync enable until you solve the random reboots, otherwise you could end up with some nasty corruption. Personally, other than benchmarks, I didn't notice a difference with fsync enabled or disabled. Even though my TF700 is able to handle overclocking, I'm now back to using stock kernel and the TF700 still performs extremely well with CleanROM 3.0.4. This may change once Clemsyn re-compiles his kernels with the latest Asus sources, but for now, I'd stick with the stock kernel.
Please let us know your results if you do try this.

hmm I'm not doing anything other than listening to the music. I have it hooked up to computer speakers when I exercise at home and work with headphones. I thought this was a common thing and someone mentioned it was caused by moments of lag. I use poweramp as the music player but also experienced it during playback using the amazon music player. I couldn't figure how to tell which folder had my music files in the google music player. It was loading everything like ring tones so I stopped using it.
I went and cleared up the media cache so the system reloads everything. I searched a previous thread and saw that suggested for someone having issues getting their pc to see the files when it was connected. Figured why not try it since I'm having a problem with media files. Rebooted and waited 10min before launching music again. Weird but it seems to have improved. There are still a few moments of lag that I'm noticing but nothing like before. I'm going to keep playing music in the background and see if it gets worse or goes away. Think I will just take the plunge with a unlock and try cleanROM if it doesn't go away entirely.
Thanks

Hang on you are not using CleanROM or CleanROM Inheritance? Why have you posted your issues in this thread then? No wonder we are confused about your issues
Yes the stock Asus rom has many i/o problems. You can solve most of them by installing a custom rom.
I was simply asking if anyone had experienced the issue using a CleanRom install before going through the process. Not trying to troubleshoot or solve it. With many things the rom fixes no one might have realized this being corrected. I will be unlocking and installing the rom soon. I apologize for asking the question and wasn't trying to highjack the original post. Mods feel free to delete my posts.

CM-10.1 3.4 kernel nightlies

We are now officially on CyanogenMod, this thread is old.
Bug list:
Minor glitch switching from video recording on FFC (switch to back camera before switching back to still images)
Flash while video recording
Pandora while using Bluetooth/wifi at the same time
MMS sizes set too big?
You tell me.
Wontfix:
Chargers that do not send any signals on D+/D-
Enhancements needed:
Panel colors/gamma correction code needs porting from d2 (Galaxy S III)
Seems great so far. WIFI speed is much better.
I am having no luck toggling NFC though. A small request as well: Can the default Bluetooth name be changed back to Relay instead of Galaxy S 3.
I'm finding that if I have headphones plugged in at boot, there's no sound until I unplug them and then reconnect. GPS also seemed to drop a lot on the way to work this morning, but that might be coincidence. Other than that, the new ROM seems to be working very well.

We've swapped over to the 3.4 kernel on our nightlies, so I decided to make a new thread.

Regarding the bootloader and modem from that post, can the zip files be flashed via CWM? Also, what versions should it report?

I was able to flash them in CWM yes. Just mind the GPS toggle as stated in the previous post.
Going to add one more bug here, I'm having problems with certain chargers, especially if they're plugged in during boot. Looks like I need to spelunk into the kernel a bit more.
lbcoder fixed wifi mac addresses. Here's mine, just for fun

The wallpaper isn't covering the far left screen on my desktop (5 screens). It happens with trebuchet, nova and apex launchers so it might be something that needs to be adjusted from the d2 settings.

I flashed 196 yesterday and everything seems to be working, except that it would not boot (stayed in the boot logo) until I started the boot with my character unplugged. GPS took a long time to sync up right until I did a cold start, and then it took about as long as that normally does. There are still possibly some charger issues which I will report as I find them. BT works (had to repair everything), Wifi works, haven't used headphones yet, am using a 4100mAh w/o the NFC, so I can't test that.

However BetterBatteryStats tell me the phone is not achieving deep sleep at all, rather in 'Awake' state 100% of time (under Other) & CPU States illustrates no info for 'Deep sleep'...

Flashing up to 198 fixes this. I think that fixes all of my "daily drive" features. I'll try it with a bunch of chargers today and see if any of them don't work.

No matter how I try to install the latest 3.4 nightlies I cannot achieve 'deep sleep' ever (100% awake.)
Before installing the 3.4 rom, I installed the MC5 modem & Bootloader & rebooted (as per original post here.)
Back into recovery & I initially tried full system/data/cache/dalvik wipes (and also for the first time on this device I also wiped "/data &/data/media" in the mount menu) before installing the 3.4 rom & gapps.
No deep sleep.
I revert back to my 3.0 nand backup and deep sleep is restored.
Then attempt a flash over the 3.0 restore with the latest 3.4 nightly... same dillema - no 'deep sleep.'
Am I alone or Is anyone else experiencing this?
For anyone who is on 3.4 and achieving 'deep sleep' (I know lbcoder & nard have confirmed they achieve deep sleep via IRC chat) can you please share your exact method in migrating from 3.0 to 3.4 (including when & how you exactly flashed the modem &/or bootloader.)
For what it's worth the recovery I have been on for a while now is CWM Version 6.0.2.8.
Baseband under settings/other shows " T699UBVMC5."
I'm using BetterBatteryStats to determine 'deep sleep' status.
Using 'Android Root Toolkit' (the only method I could find to detail bootloader version) to tell me my bootloader version as "T699UBVMC5."
I can't see that I'm doing anything out of turn.
I'm a well seasoned CWM flasher (well atleast I thought I was ), tried builds 197,8 & 9, same effect for me.
Any thoughts, ideas, cures, methods would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

My in-car charger still makes my phone stupid, where after I unplug it still says that it's charging. Power consumption is definitely up, my 4100mAh battery is behaving like the 1800 used to.

Severe lag and lag issues

So, I know you're thinking that lag and the TF700 go together like water and wet and that what I'm reporting here is not news, but I had gotten to talking about the dismal user experience I get out of my tab on G+ and one of the other commenters insinuated that the lag I'm seeing is actually more than should be expected.
I'm actually pretty computer savvy, so I'd like to think that if there's a sofware issue that I can find it with guideance from the community. Let me know how I can gather logs and diagnostic info, and I'll gladly help out anyway I can.
Right now, I'm on CROMi-X 5.2a with _that's (whichever is the newer one) 1318 profile with fsync off, software rendering disabled, and none of the Asus bloat other than their snazzy video editor. I have a sh!t-ton of widgets because that's what homescreens are for, I generally leave the wi-fi off when it's asleep to conserve battery, and I roll Normal performance profile.
The machine has periods of really good performance punctuated by episodes of tremendous lag. When I say tremendous, I mean it takes so long to load most apps that the one-minute sleep timer has expired and the tab has gone to sleep before the app can finish loading. In many cases, it will be several minutes. Accessing the notifications tray is a twenty second ordeal before it appears on the screen. Wi-fi settings can take 60 seconds to load, so I'm hosed if I'm on the wrong network. And scrolling? Ya, right. More like swipe the screen, go get coffee, come back to see if it's moved.
I'm committed to replacing it with something that isn't awful, but I'm holding out for the new Nexus 10, as it sounds like nobody is willing to make a convertible Android tab that's worth a damn.
If I can't get it to work acceptably I'll probably try to join the ranks of testers.

Wi-fi settings can take 60 seconds to load, so I'm hosed if I'm on the wrong network. And scrolling? Ya, right. More like swipe the screen, go get coffee, come back to see if it's moved.
I'm committed to replacing it with something that isn't awful, but I'm holding out for the new Nexus 10, as it sounds like nobody is willing to make a convertible Android tab that's worth a damn.
If I can't get it to work acceptably I'll probably try to join the ranks of testers.

I believed that something must be wrong on your device. I have a very similar setup except that I am using Hund v3.4.2 ET v1.5 and not a themer. I did test _that v7 not too long ago and it was very reasonable speed so I don't think it is the culprit.. I did a quick test to open about 50 apps and games all together to check the timing. The longest loading app was about 15 seconds.. Most of them were about 5-8 seconds... About webpage loading, it is vary depending on what are there to load but it is definitely a lot quicker than 60 seconds. I am using the stock browser and br2ram and can load the xda website within 2-4 seconds on average with my wifi speedtest about 27MBps..
I am not an expert so I can not help you about the logs to troubleshoot your problems but you could try to use a different ROM and kernels to see if it helps.. You said that your device ran very good and got lags.
Did your device ran very fast when you first installed it and started getting more lags with time?

So, I know you're thinking that lag and the TF700 go together like water and wet and that what I'm reporting here is not news, but I had gotten to talking about the dismal user experience I get out of my tab on G+ and one of the other commenters insinuated that the lag I'm seeing is actually more than should be expected.
I'm actually pretty computer savvy, so I'd like to think that if there's a sofware issue that I can find it with guideance from the community. Let me know how I can gather logs and diagnostic info, and I'll gladly help out anyway I can.
Right now, I'm on CROMi-X 5.2a with _that's (whichever is the newer one) 1318 profile with fsync off, software rendering disabled, and none of the Asus bloat other than their snazzy video editor. I have a sh!t-ton of widgets because that's what homescreens are for, I generally leave the wi-fi off when it's asleep to conserve battery, and I roll Normal performance profile.
The machine has periods of really good performance punctuated by episodes of tremendous lag.

With that kind of a setup, I bet it is a PIA to do a clean install...
Which leads me to the question: When's the last time you did one?
The lag you describe is worse than most TF700s on stock and unheard of CROMi-X!
If you really want to get to the bottom of this, you have to invest a day where you start from scratch:
Backup everything in terms of data, make TiBu backups of your apps, use the backup function of your launcher etc., and make a nandroid of your current rom.
Then format /data in TWRP, and flash CROMi-X 5.2.2.
Choose to install a few apps in the installer like Dropbox, TiBu etc. Reboot to system, give the tab 10 minutes to settle, and check how it performs.
I am willing to bet that there's no lag whatsoever.
Then start restoring your apps and widgets a couple at a time and keep testing in between.
Once you find the culprit(s), it's decision time: Do you really want/need that cr*** that is causing even CROMi-X to lag??
If the answer is yes, then you'll just have to wait until you find a tablet that can handle your needs, I guess.
It's really a crap shoot if it's going to work well or not, but it seems like from the first time I flashed CROMi 5.04 from the newest OTA with 2.6.3.1 TWRP, the pattern has been this (prior to the upgrade, it did follow the start ok and get bad then stay bad pattern):
Flash kernel du jour and wipe dalvik + cache
Go do something useful to give it 20 minutes to settle, plugged in so it has wifi on
Start using it, have little lag
Set it aside, go do something with the day such as go to work
Get home, open the tab, swear profusely while I wait for it to wake up
Swear some more
Run Lagfix (or lately, the FStrim in Android Tuner Free is set to fire every boot, but run it anyway in case it's been too long since I've booted)
Buzz off for 10 minutes while it does its magic
Swear at the tablet becuase it still lags
Swear some more
Close it and curse the day I bought it
Come back the next day, ~40% chance it lags like a 80386 running Wing Commander III.
Every few days, I'll decide I must have flashed the wrong kernel or that I need to toggle software rendering.
These days, I'm still on TWRP 2.6.3.1, and I've used each of the CROMi's that have come out (totally not CROMi's fault, for sure, it was a very slim brick before I found that particular bottle of awesomesauce) with all of the kernels... until each one lags so hard I cry. Right now, I'm on _that's and I've had two consecutive sessions without noticeable lag. I love the thing when it's smooth, but the lurking monster of lag is just about to drive me batty. Sometimes, when I have lag, I'll put my engineer cap on and load CatLog to try to see if I can make sense of anything, but all of the errors seem unrelated. Also, the G+ commenter mentioned the microSD card issue, and I've had the card out of the device since. Maybe that's why I'm seeing less lag right now? Time will tell.

In other words: You have been flashing one installation over the other, one kernel over the other without ever cleaning up?
I am surprised your tablet is not in a permanent bootloop!
John G right? Author of CROMi-X here and your commentor
Keep that sdcard out for a while for testing and also check settings of play store and make sure auto updates are not on.
If you are willing try a data wipe and install of 5.2.2 out yesterday with default settings and fsync off and see how you get on

Upgrade to 5.2.2 and you will rejoice! //smile I'm using hunds modded with hot plug at 2-6-8 as the only setting change. Very smooth.

One and the same. Someday, children will sing songs in your honor, sbdags. I've pulled the Class 2 SD card and it seems to have put the kabosh on the really extreme lag issues, which puts me back on pretty good standing. I do have auto-updates on right now, and I have (as the other commenter mentioned) been flashing just about every kernel in the CROMi-X packages pell-mell with only a dalvik/cache wipe. It sounds like that may have been a faux pas on my part?
So, this weekend I'm going to do the full monty, and do the wipe /data and business with the new 5.2.2. I will gladly take recommendations for which kernel and boot options I should use (I'm particularly suspicious of the disable software rendering switch, for instance).
For what it's worth, the user experience is rockstar right now, on par with my MBP I use at work.

I am glad that you see the improvement... The Cromi 5.2.2 is very fast and you will love it... If you really want to see your tablet flying, you should give Hund v3.4.2 + ET v1.5 a shot. Cromi X + Hund + ET = Fast & Furious... Let us know how it is when you have a chance testing these out...
Good luck...:fingers-crossed:
I'm really apprehensive about overvolting, as I like to use a Moko leatherette case that can hold the heat in. It does really well heat-wise with the _that's 1318 profile, and isn't laggy at all (well, it is atm, but it's doing the TiBu and that's understandable) with the SD card out. I may try hund's with it clocked down to 1.3 or 1.4 and see how that goes.
When I got home from work today, I opened it to find it was all lag-tastic. I rebooted it (it took - no bullsh!t - two minutes to shut down) and let it run a cycle of FStrim and it's auto updates, and it's been like butter since.
I've finished my backup, I'm ready to go download the ROM. I'll check back in here before taking the plunge.

Ok, the download is done. I'm going to do it now. See you on the flipside.
CROMi-X 5.2.2 ODEX, for those keeping score at home.

When you find out the hard way that the internal sd is on the data partition.
Sent from the stock browser because I cbf to install XDA.
So I think I hit the bug where I'm stuck on GMT time, but otherwise is really smooth. How do I change my time zone?

Did you flash the ET edition on a clean install?
That's a bug. Flash the normal version first, then flash the ET and you can change the time zone.
So, I had done the clean install, but then I went and re-did the clean install. I booted into _that's long enough to change the timezone, rebooted, and then dropped Hund's 3.4.2 on it again. I went off to sleep on it and came back to really awesome performance.
I'm starting to really suspect that the Class 2 SD card was the core problem here, because I put it in the machine like the day I got it.
I'm going to go run a benchmark or two.

So I've had a couple of use cycles with really good response. It gets a little warm, but I've clocked back to 1/1.4/1.8 and that seems to help out. I'm gradually replacing my apps (fresh dowloads natch, as I burned the backups when I wiped) and there's just a bit of lag while they install, but nothing unforgiveable.
The time zone is back how it should be. I've installed GEL, but I can't seem to enable the 'OK Google' feature. I'll give it a few days and report back my findings.

Are you running Hund ET or just Hund? If you are running just Hund, I would recommannd to change your UV for both CPU/GPU... It will reduce heat and add more battery life...
I'm on Hund's ETs, and adjusting the profiles as mentioned above brought heat to acceptable levels without a compromise to experience. I'm shopping memory cards now, and it looks like the Samsung Pro line gets the most Eggs. Does anyone have experience with those?
