, My Verizon p905v has been an enjoyable tablet for many years. Recently I've noticed that it's gotten quite sluggish, particularly on internet page updates.
Holding down the power button until it reboots, till next time. Rebooting about once a week is a good idea.

I have had my Motorola Atrix 4G since June 2011. Up until March of this year, the only problem I ever had was that sometimes when using the keyboard on screen, ghost hits / taps would activate the letter "q", somewhat annoying but I could live with it. Since March, the phone started randomly shutting itself off and powering itself back on - power cycling. No rhyme or reason, sometimes it would be hot, sometimes cool, sometimes being used, sometimes sitting idle. Anywhere from every five minutes to once an hour. The warranty period with ATT had ended about two weeks prior to this starting, but it was still covered under Motorola's one year warranty. So the dance with Motorola began. First they had me perform a factory reset. Still power cycled. Then they had me send it in for repair. Received it back after 10 days. Still power cycled. Then they sent me a new battery (may have been refurbished). It still power cycled. Then they had me send it back in so that a senior tech could look at it. Received it back. Power cycled in the first twenty minutes. Then they sent me a new (refurbed) handset. Received it two days ago. After an hour and twenty minutes, it power cycled. Continues to randomly power cycle. I have tried it with the two different batteries, I have attempted a factory reset on the newer phone and have had no luck. I contacted them today, they are going to switch the phone for an Atrix 2. I am at my wits end dealing with the phone. Has anyone else out there experienced anything like this? Also, what is the normal operational temperature that the phone should get to? I have seen the phone reach as high as 107 degrees.

I'm having the same issue. It's not as frequent, between 1 and 3 times per day, but it still doesn't seem to have a pattern. The only thing I can think of is it has to do with data because several of the crashes occurred when a webpage failed to load or Google Maps was hanging, but that could just be a symptom not a cause.
I did a factory reset and while I was downloading my apps and syncing contacts, it cycled. So I'm considering rooting and putting CM7 on there, but last time I tried to root an Atrix 4G it bricked, so I'm a bit hesitant. Any suggestions or new information?
Hello, I am hoping someone can help me because I'm about to test out my 2 year square trade spill and drop (SMASH) warranty if not.
I've had my infinity for about a week and a half without ever having any issues. I rooted it about a week ago, which was impressively simple.
Today, after being pestered every 10 minutes about this BS update even after postponing it for 1 day multiple times I finally gave in and hit update. My prime reset, went to the animated android screen with the spinning icon in his belly. The progress bar finished and then the screen went black.
I walked away for a couple of minutes and came back it was still off. Now every time I try to turn it on I get no response. If I hold power approximately 10 seconds it vibrates, but still absolutely no screen response. I tried holding volume down and power, same thing. I've tried any combination of volume buttons with power, still just a vibrate after 10 seconds and nothing. WTF!?!?
I HATE THESE F#CKING UNNECESSARY UPDATES!
Asus, I'm very disappointed in you right now!

Have you tried plugging it in to the wall charger and letting it sit for a few hours before trying again?
I tried starting it plugged in earlier with no response, but I just replugged it in and I'm going to wait a bit before touching it. It was about 90% charged when I started the update.
The Amber charge light is on. If my memory serves right it changes green when fully charged, so I'll try again when the light changes.
Thanks for reply.

I had that issue with my prime. Something a little different though. I was using my camcorder one day taking video of my son. Got a freeze up, had to reboot. After that, I was able to hit power or hold it I should say for 10 seconds and it would vibrate but the screen never came back on.
I ended up RMA'ing it, only to find that the motherboard failed on it and had to be replaced.
I suspect your board is bad as well. Sorry dude, I know how it feels... asus quality control sux on their lineup. Always has, and probably always will.
Get a needle, put it in the hole on top of the mini HDMI port.
After putting the needle in and then trying to start it up it vibrates within 2 seconds of holding power, which seemed more normal to me. However the screen never turned on, just black screen and then if I try again it vibrates apprx 10 seconds after hold. I have tried again, same results. Battery is fully charged...
Thanks for the help guys, but I'm thinking it's toast, and I'm very disappointed. The thing is i normally never ota, and wouldn't if it had just postponed 24 hours at a time like it had given as an option. I was waiting on aokp to drop before I unlocked and rom'd it out.
I'm probably just going to return it to Amazon... I was going to have it replaced, but I'm now reconsidering waiting on something better to drop. QC seems to be an issue with Asus lately, and since I sold my laptop to pay for my infinity this is becoming a major inconvenience that I'm not trying to deal with again. I was reading on here somewhere a guy had gone through 5 or 6 of them.
I've been building computers for friends and family for more than a decade now and I've always bought Asus mobo's, and never had issues or complaints about them. I think I'll be reconsidering that loyalty next time I have a build.

My prime did that... The tablet vibrates but no screen... Tried even connecting the computer and it saw the tablet. Had to RMA it to get it fixed... then a month later the tablet wouldnt charge.. RMAed again to fix... If I were you return it for a new one or go for a different brand.
Just bricked mine too. OTA failed with dying android, then reboot only to first Asus screen. I can get into recovery but factory reset completed and same thing, only first Asus screen. I think I might be able to flash .26 from the Asus site since I'm still locked but internet is so show it will take 7 hours to download the file.
Edit: update zip in recovery worked. I think it is time to unlock since it is obvious Asus can't get there stuff straight.
I had the same problem with my first Infinity. I called the Asus support, but the guy had absolutely no idea and told me to RMA it.
I returned it to Amazon and got a new one.

Same story here. Last time it worked was the animation screen during the ota update last night. Get the vibration sensor as expected after holding power button or resetting with paper clip, but nothing on the screen, ever.
Got the RMA and shipping it in the morning. I bought it from newegg the week released so need to do warranty.

I bought my wife a Galaxy note 10.1 for xmas. Her choice as she loves her note phone and the stylus. Anyway the thing I noticed over anything is after she had all her apps installed and email setup her tab starts way faster than my infinity. Like she is up and running in 30 sec and I take about 2 1/2 minutes to get to the same point.
Can some of you share what you are getting for startup times from pushing the button to everything ready to go. I am looking at mine to see what is wrong as I can't believe that it should take that long to get started. I guess I just didn't notice as it must have been getting worse since I got it last summer and never noticed until I played with my wife's note.
Thanks

The infinity definitely takes a little while to boot up, however, mine definitely does not take more than 45 sec, usually is just over 30 sec. When i first got it it was around 45s to 1min, after deleting crapware, unlocking, rooting, and installing clean ROM im fully booted in about 30s.
Best of luck
Was going to post here earlier...
From cold the TF700T that I have lights up in about 50-70 seconds.
Oh, mine does indeed take quite a while. (It takes longer to boot than my XP laptop...) About 2 minutes, almost.
The more stuff you have on it, the longer it takes to boot. Simple as that. Mine is utterly loaded. (I have about 500mb free of the 64gb, as well as two full 32GB microSD's. Last update put it on updating 433 apps. I don't have that many, but I suppose it also counts Android's parts as well)
So I simply don't turn it off if I don't have to. It eats 1% battery in 24 hours, turning it off completely would only decrease my battery, as it takes 3-5% to boot.
So, I have had my shield tablet for about a month now and people have said the tablet has random power off issues. I never noticed this, but around 3 days ago my device started acting slightly wierd with it being slightly slower than usual. Then, when I checked my device about 3-4 hours later. It was off, I powered it on and then it instantly shut off. I turn it on again hoping to see its chrage level and I did and it was at 68%. So I reset it using my cwm recovery and for about 15 minutes it was fine, then it shuts down again and does the same thing. So today I reset it using the imgs from nvidia and it works fine. So I go and update to 4.4.1, still work. Update to 5 and it just breaks again.
Same issue
Have you found a fix? I'm having the same problem.
No, and to top it off it started doing this with 4.4, it just takes significantly longer
Custom roms work for me. Not sure how long they will last.
Hi all;
I would like an opinion on my issue. I own a LeTV Max X900 since mid-January. Its touch screen has been irresponsive at times for about a month.
I wonder if you guys think this is a software (and I should keep trying to solve it) or a hardware issue (and maybe it's best leaving the phone alone).
Basically, it may stop working all of a sudden. At first I could revive it by rubbing it against my shirt (in order to heat it up, as I suspected it was due to the cold weather in Paris).
Now it's just not working until I do one or a few reboots (holding power + Vol+ & - and then rebooting).
Sometimes simply going into recovery and rebooting works; sometimes i clear data from recovery and it works.... Sometimes I have to reflash any of the stock ROM I have.
Sometimes I leave it and it works after having not worked for a long while (can be hours, even days, once); sometimes i'm using it and I'm just left stranded.
It once totally stopped working for 3 days, then has worked flawlessy for about 2 weeks... and then last week it restarted with this behaviour but it was not too frequent and only out in the cold. Now I can't have a full day without this problem, even inside my house.
Interestingly, it can also be unresponsive even in the recovery menu, so I suspect this is hardware, but I would like a second opinion.
I have never rooted it or done anything other than updating the stock ROMs, either from recovery or from the Update menu, as advised by the manufacturer.
I would be glad to read your opinions.
