This morning, after half a day, my 1+ One is not waking up any more.
The alarm clock rang at the right time showing the usual screen and so on.
I used it a few minutes and then the screen went off.
If I hit the power button I can see the physical buttons lighting up and later going off.
But the screen remains completely off, not just black even if is swipe the finger on the screen (there is a PIN unlocker).
The device has *not* been rooted and is running the stock 38R update.
Plugging the power doesn't help: it charges to the green led, with screen off.
Calling the phone doesn't help: the phone rings but the screen stays off.
"sudo fastboot devices" waits forever.
"sudo fastboot reboot" doesn't do anything.
I hit the VOL+ and POWER and it went completely off untill I tried a few times.
Now is workiing again but I fear it will happen again.
Heeelp!
Time for an RMA.

I think I'll keep it under observation a little bit more. If the behaviour sticks, I'll RMA it.
It's a great phone, apart of the furry touch on the back ...
Experiencing the same behavior after the 38R update. Had it 2 times yesterday.. Disabled the double tap to wake feature and didn't have it yet again.
Never had the problem on 33R

I don't have that setting on, while I do have "avoid accidental wake ups" and "wake up when plugged" (translated from Italian).
Did you file a bug for that?
no too lazy!

As the title suggests, sometimes when my tf700 has had a long period of being idle if I go to use it and press the power button nothing will happen. I can still hear it functioning though cause I've accidentally taken screen shots when trying to reboot it when this happens, the screen is just black and I have to reset it.
Any suggestions?

Try switching WiFi sleep off and see if it helps.
Wifi sleep off?
I have that happen to me more than a few times. I just end up hitting power button and just tapping the corner. It works sometimes. but it's not always faster than just rebooting. Although, if you're going to reboot, just hold the power button till device shuts off.
What I think is happening is not that it's not waking, the display is just not turning on. I noticed this by plugging in the charger, which always turns on the display and device.
Yeah, the display isn't coming back up. I've noticed that too because I can still hear events occur (ie: unplugging the charger).
Another user on here tipped me off that it could be that it's in power save mode and the dimmer is COMPLETELY down, if you bump the brightness dimmer up just a hair, even 1 notch, it'll stop it from doing it, or at least it's stopped it so far for me since I changed it.
Why start two threads on the same issue?
I think my problems began when I installed the OTA 4.2 update recently. The entire system bogged down and became pretty much unusuable. Often, I had to press the power button 3-4 times to turn on the screen if the screen timed out. Sometimes I would have to wait for at least 5 minutes before I could wake the screen again.
But since a week, I can't get my Transformer Infinity to wake up, at all. When I press the power button nothing happens. If I hold it for a long period of time (10 seconds) it gives a short buzz, but nothing visible happens otherwise.
I have tried pretty much everything I can imagine now. I have even tried to drain the battery completely (then absolutely nothing happens when I press the power button) and re-charge the device, but the problem persists. I have tried to start it connected to the keyboard dock and without, but for no reason.
Connecting the TF to a desktop computer doesn't seem to do anything either.
Please, can anyone give me a hint?

Sorry, but I think it's time to call Asus Tech support for an RMA.

Hmm i often have he issue with needed to press the power button a few times to wake the screen. Just thought it was 'one of those things' hope this doesn't happen.

Actually, I have had that problem for months, and I thought it was "on of those things" too, but it instantly got worse after my 4.2 update. Up until last week when it just stopped turning on again all of a sudden.
I have also tried plugging the MicroHDMI to a larger screen, but the screen just complains that there is no signal in the HDMI cable.
I have contacted my local ASUS support in a vain hope they can direct me at a solution that doesn't involve me loosing my device for a lengthy period of time and getting it back without my precious (un-backuped:crying vacation photos.

A lesson learn, I always keep all my stuff on sdcard, never on internal storage.
Same Problem Here
I just got my tf700t April 17, and I used it for a few days and did the updates before going on vacation for a week. After a few days on vacation, I noticed the volume rocker wasn't responding all the time. I tried to restart the tablet, and once it shut off, it never came back on. Same issues as original post... Screen doesn't turn on. If I hold the power button down for 10 seconds it vibrates, but nothing happens. Very upset to spend this kind of money on a tablet to not even be able to use it for a week. I will be sending it in for RMA... I have tried everything in every post to try and fix the problem, but the screen just doesn't want to turn on. Hope Asus will be quick about it!!!

I noticed that if i leave the screen on (with gravitybox) for a mid-long period, e.g. 30/60 min, the display will start flickering (or jumping) and the oscillation will increase with time. The only solution is to turn off the phone and let it rest for some time then power it on. Do you know why?

I am not sure if mine is related, but today my Nexus 5's screen flickered then went black. I can feel the phone vibrate when holding the power button down. But still nothing, tried plugging into computer and after unplugging I hear the low power chime. So I know that it is working aside from the screen staying black.
The phone is running 4.4.3 stock that I flashed via twrp, with faux123 18u kernel, exposed installer, gravity box. This could all be coincidence, and I could just have a bad screen. But does anyone have any suggestions?
Hi guys,
For some reason, all of a sudden, my Nexus 5 is not able to be woken up from the lock screen. This happened randomly. I can still boot into recovery and bootloader by holding down the volume and power, and I can still access my phone, though I have to reboot (by holding down the power button) every time I lock my screen. I'm running OptiPop (F2FS) with Uber Kernel. My warranty is void as I've had the phone for a while, and I would really appreciate if you guys knew a solution to this.
Edit: When I lock my phone, the phone vibrates for a brief second.
Thanks

It could be the "Prevent Accidental Wake-up" feature built into the OptiPop rom. If your phone is in a low light environment, the phone thinks its an accidental wake up and does not turn the display on. I've had this happen to me. Try turning the option off under Settings->Display->Prevent Accidental Wake-up
Hello everyone,
I bought a LCD replacement for my OPO, and asked a friend to replace the screen (he had his own OPO, and changed the screen on it a couple times, so I trusted him).
The frame was not included, so the phone is without it unfortunately.
But I have this problem with the screen itself...
I boot the phone, everything goes well, it boots, everything ok, I can do everything...
Then the phone goes to sleep after the 30s, and sometimes when I press the button to turn it on, the lights in the bottom light up, I can hear sounds, I can swipe to answer calls for example, but the screen stays all black.
If I press the power button to turn it to sleep mode and then click again to wake it within 1 or 2 seconds, it works everythime.
Its just when it goes to sleep... And then I have to press the power button to reset the phone, and it boots again.
I'm using the LineageOS Rom, and I never had problems like this before replacing the LCD.
What caused this? Could the screen be "broken" when I bought it?
Thank you for reading this and for the help!

Well,clearly the issue is lcd itself.Happened with me on my last screen replacement,it was defective.Though in my case,I had to power on/off the device to get the display back.Get a refund or replacement,there's no other alternative.
