Has anyone had the flash randomly turn on without being able to turn it off? When I touch the flashlight toggle the intensity lessens but does not turn off. It also causes the camera to fail. It's happened 3 times and only a reboot gets rid of it.

Sounds like a hardware issue. I'd return it for warranty.

Hey guys I notice sometimes one every month or so when I turn off my phone (standby mode, not hard or soft reset) the phone is still on however its a black background (backlight)
What causes this error to happen? the only way for me to get rid of the backlight issue is by pulling out the battery and turning it back on.
i am having the same issue and it is draining the battery! i hope someone figured this one out
I was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing problems where there power/sleep button doesnt bring the phone out of sleep mode and the phone just remains black. Let me know.

I just started experiencing that my phone wont go into sleep mode after pressing the power button. I can hold it down and pop up menu to turn off shows, and bring it out of sleep after the 15 sec delay i have set up but thats it any ideas?
The only issue I have is when the phone goes to sleep wifi turns off and the captivate starts charging data to my plan. Does this happen to anyone else and if so is there a known cure?
I had my phone not go to sleep at set timeout one time. It may have been due to an app i installed. I rebooted and no problem since.
As for using data when asleep - Wifi turns off when the phone goes to sleep mode - this is the way it behaves, same as iPhone and other android phones. You have some app connecting in the background, maybe email sync?
You can keep the wifi on during sleep by going into the Settings-> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings. Press the menu button in Wi-Fi settings press on "Advanced".
In there is an option called Wi-Fi sleep policy. Switch that to Never and you shouldn't have to worry about the wifi turning off when in sleep mode.

Yea It was an app I installed, I did a reinstall from a back up and it works now.
Captivate Shutting Down Instead of Sleeping
Mine is doing this too, as are a few others, from the look of some posts on here. Mine started after a day and a half and two full charges. Suddenly I would go to wake it up and it will have turned off.
I'm thinking I might take it back to the store to exchange it, as not everyone is experiencing this problem. Sucky. I did notice that the battery, after you take the door off, is a little wiggly on the side opposite the connectors. I wedged some thin paper in the between the battery and the battery slot and it still did it. Got to be a problem with the individual phone.
Total PITA!!
I had problems with mine shutting off while in sleep mode and I uninstalled SetCpu and my task killer and it stopped doing it....
Something new - under Wifi Settings/Advanced - I have Wi-Fi set to sleep when display is off..
This doesn't seem to be the case. My WiFi is Always on.
I would imagine that the icon would disappear like it does when WiFi is turned off.. but when the phone is asleep and then wakes up, the WiFi connection is still there.
Anything I can try to fix this? I have tried changing the WiFi sleep policy to the other 2, then changing it back to display power - didn't work.
I did have to reboot the phone last night because I couldn't get WiFi to turn off, but I don't have a problem today with turning it on or off.. just won't go to "sleep"
It may be turning off and you just don't notice it. Cause I know that as soon as I turn on the display again its maybe half a second and then the wifi is back on. So you may be missing the switch.
I also notice that I have to leave the display off for a good two or three mins for it to turn off.

Is there a way to find out how long you are connected to an Access Point?
I am noticing a big difference in battery drain when WiFi is turned completely off, then when it is in the "Sleep" mode.
Noticed 2x today I walked away for an hour and came back to a bright screen. Both times I had just plugged it in and left it on the desk. I turned the sleep timer down to 15s and experimented a bit but couldn't replicate it...
I also noticed when it auto sleeps, there is no screen lock sound. Though I do hear it when I click the power button. The option is turned on in settings, and I remember my 300's all made the lock sound 5 seconds after the screen turned off. Maybe the 700s don't do it? Or maybe there's a problem with the hardware or not really sleeping?
Does yours make the lock sound when it locks after an automatic sleep?
Please can someone just turn up their volume and let their tf700 stock ROM go to sleep with the lock sound enabled? Tell me if you hear the lock sound when it AUTOMATICALLY goes to sleep? (Without clicking the power button)
I only have a couple days to exchange and need to know if this is normal for the 700
Again, the lock sound only plays when I click the power button, Not when it auto sleeps and locks. The tf300 always played the audio.
I just pulled out my phone and had this happen again for the 4th time. Sometimes when I pull out my phone it had the brightness maxed out, sometimes flashlight on, and battery saver mode. It's not always those changes, but sometimes I have a freakout of the phone and when I take a look at it I see all these random changes. Does this happen to anyone else ?
The only thing I can think of is that the gesture is waking the phone and since the pull down menu is not locked on the lockscreen things are auto getting pressed.

If you have swipe fingerprint for notifications on, it could be you're swiping down on the sensor which would turn the phone on and swipe notifications down, making it easy to accidentally toggle something on as you pull it out.
