My Bluetooth has been stuck on "turning on Bluetoot" for a while now. This had happened with my friend's note 10.1 also. I know that by restating the tablet, it fixes it. Has this happened to your 10.1?

I have the same issue, though very intermittent
Ditto, doesn't happen all the time, but does happen about once a week or so. REboot fixes.
Yes, Bluetooth sometimes seems to hang on start, or even starts but doesn't actually work. Reboot fixes it.

my transformer is acting strange. not sure if it's by design or a glitch.. but i hate it, almost to a point i want to return it and get an Acer..
If i dont use the trans for a while, the wifi diconnects itself, which is what i want. But when i wake the screen, it stays disconnected and will not auto connect. so i try to connect manually, it will not connect at all. keeps saying out of range when i know for sure it's in range. so i have to shut it down and turn it back on everytime to connect. F-ing annoying!!
and if i dont use it overnight or something, the next morning it's turned off, and i can't turn it back on the normal way. i have to hold down the volume down button and power button at the same time to power it on.
anyone experiencing similar problems??!!
WTF!!!
I think you have a faulty unit as I am not having any of the problems you mention, WiFi is rock solid, have been able to connect from standby immediately after pressing power button even after prolonged periods of time on standby.
The only time I had to reset it was once when i installed a battery widget that was not showing after installation, tried a reset which solved the problem.
I have not had this problem once since i received the unit on Thursday. I have even connected it up to 4 different wifi networks and have not had a problem reconnecting to my home when i return.
It could be your access point causing the issue. When i first got my Epic 4g, it could not keep a connection to my 6 year old linksys router. I then purchased a buffalo tech N router and have not had any problems since. The Epic and Transformer now behave as they should.
Try updating the firmware on your wifi unit or purchase a new one.

I'll see if my firmware is up to date on my router. hopefully that's the problem... but that doesn't explain the other problem, It shuts off by itself.
Do any of yours shut themselves off after say a night of no use?
The only time I noticed mine shutting off was when I carried it in a bag but I think this was caused by pressure on the power button whilst in transit, never noticed it any other time.
My wife's android phone had a similar issue with wifi. It wouldn't reconnect after going into standby, and I would have to reboot the phone. I just set the wifi sleep policy to never, which is the same preference I have on my phone. Honestly there is very little effect to battery life on an android phone. However, if wifi shuts off on a phone it would just use 3g instead also using battery. I assume if the wifi goes asleep on the tablet, you lose any push notifications. I plan on leaving mine on for notifications. (Getting delivered today)
Definitely a faulty unit, mine is always connected to WiFi when I wake it. Never had it turn off on its own either.
Make sure wifi sleep policy is set to never, and if you're still having issues, I'd do a wipe of the device could just be some corrupted app or file.
Doesn't sound normal at all. Tough decision as you can't just return it and get another because of the short supply. So far my transformer is exceeding my expectations. This is one hell of a deal at $399, and really makes you wonder what other manufacturers are thinking charging a tablet more than $400.

I don't know about your wifi issue but the sleep problem is a known issue that many others have had problems with. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
There have been updates to the Wifi driver in the last two FOTAs, maybe when ASUS re-releases those updates it might help.

I did do a master reset and the problem did not go away. and my trans in on never disconnect wifi mode. i'll try another reset tonight see if that helps. maybe i still have some battery saver app that's screwing everything up. this sucks! if i can't get this fixed, i'll return it and get one later when the stock is replinished. The initial honeymoon period is about worn off anyway, i can wait now...
Have you tried this on a different router? The problem may be with the router instead of your tablet.

Mine did this to me once or twice - but I think it is related to the lock screen issue described elsewhere in the forum. Basically, when I got up in the morning, it appeared to be "off" - but I think it was just an issue powering up the screen. I had to hold the power button for a good 10 seconds (to actually shut it down) and then power it back on.
I disabled the lock screen and haven't had the problem since then. I'd really like to re-enable the lock screen though at some point, so I hope they get the issue resolved.
Definitely seems like a bug - but certainly not something that has cropped up for me since disabling the lock screen.
I've been having two major issues with my tablet, and while they seem to be related to some thing others are talking about, they are not quite the same.
1) I have never been unable to wake my device. However, sometimes when I do wake it, the touchscreen is completely non-responsive so I can't even unlock the device. I have to power down by holding the power button until it shuts off, and then power back on.
2) A REALLY strange wi-fi bug. I set my wi-fi to never disconnect to test if this would still happen, and it does. Often times I will wake the device, and it will say disconnected from wi-fi. I go into settings, under wi-fi, and it says "wi-fi turning off" as if it were in progress (which it shouldn't be doing anyway since I set it to never disconnect). It will sit there and do nothing, and I can't tell it to stop trying to turn off the wi-fi. Again, I have to reboot to do anything.
Anyone else with these REALLY annoying issues?
Seems like more people are having the touchscreen problem. Mine is totally dead. I've rebooted 20+ times. It's been two days now, still no luck.

Yea I saw a couple others who reported that just now, but seems like mostly the black screen on wake problems prevail.
I'm having the WiFi issue. If the tablet is in standby for a length of time (usually longer than an hour) I have to disable the WiFi in settings and then re-enable it to get it to reconnect.

I can't even disable it in settings. It is grayed out and says "turning off wi-fi" and pressing it does nothing. Like it's irreversibly stuck in that status until I reboot.

Ah yea I've had this happen to me too several times. In general the transformer wifi radio seems pretty weak. In my bedroom upstairs where my laptop, iphone, ps3, wifes ipad all get perfect wifi signal, the transformer is getting 1 bar at best. Youtube is totally unusable there.

I too have been exhibiting touchscreen issues. I have found that by ever so lightly twisting the TF I can get it to work. It is going back to Micro Center tomorrow. I only hope the one I sent my dad doesn't begin acting up, as he there isn't a Micro Center near him in Florida. He will be forced to RMA it with Asus. I don't believe they will charge a restocking fee on a broken item. Hopefully I will be able to find a new one soon.
Sold my Transformer for the price that i paid for, sick of putting up with it. Had a few issues like camera , touch screen problem,crashing while playing game....etc... i will buy it again later when demand dies down and quality improves. Good luck with yours.
mine doesn't have these problems...i think the stability of its wifi connection is better than my milestone...

I normally don't have this problem. But yesterday I left the device on for a night and in the morning I wasn't able to wake it, had to do hard reboot.
Ok so i flashed my phone to JB 4.1.1 about 1-2 months ago. It didnt connect to wifi, and i couldnt talk to anyone on the phone. Then i cleared cache and hthe wifi problem went away. but the calling issue didnt. the day jb 4.2.1 came out, my phone went into a boot loop. idk why. it just did, so i checked for any updates and i saw that jb 4.2.1 has been released. so i flashed to that. but the bootloop issue keeps happening and when i call some one or someone calls me i cant hear them. they can hear me but i cant hear them. PLEASE HELP !
Odd as it sounds, a lot of weird problems, bootloops and random reboots in particular, went away for me after I cleaned out the power button. I didn't even need to do a full disassembly. Just got it open enough that I could blast a few quick shots of compressed air at the button.
So i've been trying to figure out why my wifi won't turn on for the past few days. It started randomly turning itself on and off round a month ago and now just doesn't turn on. When i attempt to turn it on, it gets "stuck". If that wasn't enough, the same thing happened with the bluetooth. Now i can't seem to use either. Could anyone tell me what's going wrong and/or how to fix it?? Thx, Im using a D2203
So I just took the update last night and everything seemed great until this morning. I got up checked emails, headed to work and listened to my phone over bluetooth in my car like usual. Then almost as soon as my phone disconnected from my car it restarted. Thought that was weird but no concern. Then realized that after about 1-3 mins after every restart it would restart again (so not technically bootloop but still just as annoying.
Is anyone else having an issue similar to this?
EDIT: I've narrowed it down to be something wrong with having WIFI on!
I thought since it started doing this after using the bluetooth in my car I would try turning that off. Nope still restarts. Next restart I turned WIFI off and it didn't restart again after letting the phone sit for a little bit. Turn wifi back on and immediately the phone restarted again.
Backing up my files now and will probably attempt a factory reset to see if that fixes it. (unless there's some other solution anyone can think of)?
