Since the OTA update before last my WiFi has been weird, whenever I turn it on and connect to a network, after a random period anywhere between 1 sec and over an hour it will disconnect and completely refuse to reconnect, saying failed to connect. The only way to reconnect is to cycle the WiFi power completely. I was hoping that the last update would correct the problem, but no luck. My system is currently fully stock, no unlocking or subversion so far.
Any ideas or fixes?
Attached is the relevant system information.
UPDATE : I'd like to refine the problem a little; when the problem manifests, the tablet completely fails to recognize that there are any networks in range at all. Once again, it's solved by only a quick cycle though.

I've had this same problem a few times too. Cold-booting three times in a row then running an FMR memory clean usually works to fix it for me. But I'm on 4.1.1
Also make sure your wifi isn't getting turned off thru Asus power saver settings or another battery saver app. Flaky wifi routers or congested local wifi traffic with overlapping bands (channels) are notorious for randomly disconnecting wifi, but if its only after the last update then that probably has nothing to do with it unless your neighbor just installed a wireless router on or near your channel. Wifi Analyzer is a great app for weeding that sort of thing out.

Are you sure it's not a router problem? Does it happen connecting to any network?

I have the same problem with both my home router (Typically less than 10 feet away) and with my mobile hot spot. It started having this problem on each different network in the same time period, so I've ruled out the router. I've also now noticed that it does get worse with time until I can't even connect until I reboot.

I've done a quick scan of my nearby networks just in case, and since I am typically within the ten feet of my fairly powerful router, it's got a good 40+ dB on anything nearby. I also have the problem on my cellular hotspot in different places, so I'm ruling out the router.
I'm running only the stock power saver setting, I'll try shutting that off next time it starts again, to see if there's any effect, but the WiFi doesn't shut off, it just stops functioning correctly.
I've also come to find that the problem gets worse with uptime, 20 minutes ago I was getting 20 sec connections, until a reboot, now I expect to have hour+ functional periods.
I know what a cold boot is, but not completely familiar on this kind of device.
Do I need to shut down and leave it off for a few minutes to perform a cold boot?
Also, what is an FMR memory clean, and can I do that without root?

Cold boot: shut it off. Hold Volume Down and Power until the tab vibrates twice. If you're on 4.2 you should see 3 icons with RCK flashing. Use Volume Down to highlight "Android", press Volume Up to confirm.
Tiny script upper left will read: Cold booting Linux
As far as I know you can only clear cache for individual apps, not system caches on stock without root...
This is starting to sound like a hardware problem to me.
If you're still under warranty I would contact Asus and see what they have to say.
A factory reset would be my last resort before sending it in.
Good luck

What is it called when you boot into bootloader, then just let the RCK blink for 10s, hit no buttons, then it automatically boots saying "cold booting linux"? How is this different than the Android, or is it the same? I'm on 4.1.1

I don't think that works on 4.2 anymore since it defaults to fastboot mode (for which you had to select "USB" on 4.1) when booting into the bootloader.

I think on 4.1 you had two options to cold boot: Boot into the bootloader and do nothing as you mentioned earlier, or select the Android and confirm with Vol Up. Both accomplished the same thing: cold booting Linux.
On 4.2 you have to select the Android.

Thanks for the info. That's what I thought, but just confirming. Thinking isn't good enough, you gotta know. Wouldn't want to go around telling people how to cold boot or that cold boot fixes something when that's not what I'm actually doing, but it seemed pretty obvious I was cold booting - the micro script tells you so and also that if you wait 10s it will just happen automatically, and I like automatic. What's that font size anyway, 1/4 point? You just about need a magnifying glass to read it.
Actually, I've never done it any other way. From day 1 it seemed self-evident, and the easiest way to me, yet all I've read about cold booting on this forum says to do it with the Android. I guess that is the "official" way. But since I'm officially lazy, I do it the easiest way! This is a rare example of being able to do the same thing two different ways on Android. Often there is only one way to do it, to the letter. Talk about lazy, I use rebooter app too. 1-click cold boot. Savin' the buttons for when I really need 'em.
[Edit] Hey, OP we didn't forget about you. FMR Memory Cleaner can be run without root. Its not your average task killer. Digs out some memory somehow. It must clean cache and delete logs. I use it once a week religiously.

Believe it or not, my power button already stuck once in the down position. Talk about a boot loop. All that buzzing scared the daylights out of my dogs and they were just about ready to attack my tablet laying on my bed. I thought there was a raccoon or something in the house - they were going ballistic. I had just turned it off and set it down, and went out to the garage to work on a project and the next thing I know all he*& broke loose. I fixed it with a drop of electric razor oil on a Q-tip and my device is less than 6 mos old. I'm not joking about saving those buttons!

The common understanding of "cold booting" is "turning on the power and letting the bootloader load the kernel". So you are already cold booting if you turn it off and on again.
Nobody came up with any evidence yet that the explicit selection of Android in the bootloader menu does anything more than simply not entering the bootloader menu and letting it boot normally.
I noticed some interesting behavior when this happens on my device. Say its tethered to my phone's 3G, and there are up to 5 bars (pie slice shaped concentric rings) in the docked notifications panel on the lower right screen. Often my phone has 3-4 bars, but there are none showing on the device when this happens. This isn't ability to connect to wifi, it is connected, its ability to connect to the internet thru the wifi. I see this more often lately for some reason. I have to toggle my wifi or reset my hotspot so the bars come back on the device, and to re-connect to the internet. Happens often when I am posting here and there has been significant idle time between data exchange. Sometimes I can just highlight the address bar link and then hit enter and it reconnects. Seems like some kind of idle timeout. Maybe it has something to do with Verizon's hotspot connection and dwell time, and they are cutting off my allocated bandwidth connection so an "active" user can use it. Fine, but it doesn't reconnect me when I later transmit my data and that's not fine.

That would make sense, if it was only my hotspot where I was having the problem, but it's the same on my WiFi at home. I also believe that the bars on the Transformer WiFi dock notification indicate WiFi signal strength.

Ah, now that I am looking at that again I think you are right. I thought they represented the 3G signal strength of the phones connection. What's interesting is that when it happens, the display is erroneous, because in wifi analyser app it still shows me I have 50dB yet the bar graph shows zero bars. Connected wifi with no signal strength. Yup, that's my problem alright.

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.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2
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 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.

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.

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
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?

Keep in mind that it could disconnect and reconnect without you even realizing it. I just happened to notice the wifi symbol going away and coming back on it's own a few times (one time, while waiting for a web page to reload). So, it *could* be occurring and you not even realize it...
Not a huge problem, but a problem nonetheless...

This happened all the time with my Prime.

I've noticed this problem too, only after the .26 update :crying:
(coïncidence ? I'm not that much of a downloader to be considered as reliable statistics )
The only time i saw it constantly connect/disconnect is when I did a hotspot off my phone and didn't enter the password in correctly. It didnt tell me it was wrong, just kept trying to connect over and over untill I stopped it and did a "forget" then reconnected entering the correct PW this time.

I did not notice it before the update either. I did not notice any issues when downloading all my apps the day after I received the inifinity, but since the update I have had the issue trying to watch TV on the Infinity and now when trying to download my Music from google. I also notice it running speedtest app.

This issue is not "constant" - like I said, most people wouldn't even notice it, unelss they were actively transferring something when it happened... It's *very* intermittent.

How about this . . . . I have never had an issue, slow-down, ANR, crash or other user experience malfunction that I would relate to WiFi connection or disconnection.
My WiFi is rock solid! :good:
Bye.

Another one bites the dust. Check this: thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29648346
Basically since ICS google has screwed many customers. Like i have a Zyxel P-2812HNU-F3 and when i use the default 802.11g/b/n in router settings, then my galaxy nexus and infinity wifi will behave like yours. When downloading something or sometimes in browser, wifi disconnects and reconnects. Whats your router name? And also if you havent already, try going into router settings, change "Mode Select" to 802.11g Only. See if that helps. Still google screwed up when wifi works perfectly on my SGS2 on 2.3(using a custom rom on 4.0.4 which works great with wifi :S ) but not on nexus and infinity on 4.0+

My WiFi doesn't connect after coming out of sleep sometimes. When I go to settings to check on the WiFi status, it is turned off. I've also noticed that although I have changed the option 'Keep WiFi on during sleep' to only when plugged in, it reverts back to always...even though it reverts back to always, it still does not turn on WiFi when coming out of asleep. My Acer a700 does not do this.
This has happened since latest update (26). I don't remember it happening prior to update.

Having the exact same problem, did you find a fix ?.
I have the same issue. I thought changing my wi-fi channel would help... nope.
Downloading the 1.x gig sized game and it keeps dropping.

After JB upgrade, my tablet started consuming more RAM. And it keeps restarting. Even though I dont do hard stuff it freezes and try to restart but it gets stuck at ASUS screen. That thing keep turning and turning unless I press the restart button or the battery hits 0. There was no such thing before JB upgrade. And since this is a quad core tablet is it normal? All I'm doing is just surfing the net or watching videos on YouTube + 1-2 tasks. I did much harder things before JB upgrade but there was no such thing as restarting or freezing. Could it be because of the JB upgrade or did I do something wrong with my tablet. Anybody else has this problem? Is there anything I can do to fix that. Should I change my tablet or wait for a new upgrade or what? Would rooting my tablet fix the situation?

You may want to try the 3 factory resets trick if you haven't already.

Be advised the factory reset will wipe the internal SD card and bring your tablet back to a factory state.
If you want to proceed:
Tap on the notification bar in the lower right corner (where the time is displayed.)
Tap on the settings icon (looks like a gear or cog.)
When the settings menu appears look for "backup & reset"
Choose "Factory data reset" (under PERSONAL DATA.)
The following message will appear:
This will erase all data from your tablet's internal
storage, including:
Your Google account
System and app data and settings
Downloaded apps
Music
Photos
Other user data
You are currently signed into the following accounts:
[email protected] (that's if you are signed into Google)
Do this tree times...
After which you will be back to square one with your tablet.
Good luck!
i had this exact same issue. I was on the verge of selling it and getting something else. Then someone convinced me to root. I rooted on Thursday and have not had any issues at all. Its like i have a brand new tablet. Rooting this thing is the way to go. I know you are probably thinking why should you have to root in order to get the device to function as it should. I thought the same exact thing.

I'm so glad to hear that it's working for you!
I didn't want to root because of the warranty issues. I know it can be reversed but I just didn't want to struggle with that. I'll try the 3 factory resets first. If it doesn't help me, I'll have to root it I guess. Thanks for the answers.

I've flashed Cromi-X v4.5 deodexed to this thing. It runs much faster and smoother after doing that, but every time I go to use the thing if it hasn't been plugged in for over a day or 2 it's completely dead. I'm about ready to ditch the device because of it. I've disabled the wifi update when asleep- beyond that i'm not sure what else to do...Help!
Hold the power button down and select "Shut Down" when you arent planning on using it? Its hard to narrow down exactly what your issue is without more info. Different apps you installed may prevent deep sleep and keep it wake locked. Try downloading a battery monitor and see what exactly is killing it.

Like the other guy said. if you arent gonna use it for awhile just turn it off. Otherwise that is perfectly normal battery life for the device. Mine lasts me one day without the dock under normal use. I plug mine in every night.
