I applied the C20 update (May security) to my IN2013 OP8. Next time I tried a reboot, it asked me if I wanted to go into safe mode or cancel. Same if I tried to switch it off. Nothing worked apart from holding down the powe button and volume down button until it crashed.
I asked around and it turns out that if you have all animations turned off, this is what will happen. Put animations back to 1.0 and it all works lovely. I had all animations turned off - turned them back on and I can reboot.
So, if anyone else sees this issue - try my (I say 'my' but really someone elses) solution.
And if anyone knows WHY this happens, I would be interested.

The latest update has fixed this.

I have a Fuze that wants to shutdown all the time. I usually run EnergyRom on it and the slide to shutdown screen keeps popping up. When I run a stock rom on it, it also shuts down, as if someones holding the power button.
has anyone ran into this issue or have any idea how to fix it? I've searched for a while and can't find anything.
thanks!
Opening up the phone enough to get to the point that you can remove the power button itself and clean that area of the phone should fix the problem.
This even helped me on my previous phone where I thought the button was losing sensitivity. After reassembly the button worked beautifully again.
I had the same problem...and then all of a sudden my power button stopped working altogether...its weird because it works fine to turn the phone on, but once it boots it doesnt turn off the screen or bring up the shut down menu or anything
how did you manage to remove it to clean it out?
I did a search but no solutions came up.
Basically, when I touch the screen to move the little lock icon over to unlock it nothing happens.
I powered it off by holding power for 10 seconds and then powered it on again.
No bueno, nothing happened.
Anyone else run into this and was able to solve it?
yes, i had the same problem, you will not like this..
do one step at the time and check if it works, if not continue to the next one
1. cold reboot (hold power button for 30-60 seconds),
you can try step 1 several times
2. turn it off, let it charge for 2-3 hours, turn it on
3. reboot to safe mode (this not really sure how i did it..lol.. i think is, turn off and turn on and quickly hold both volume keys until it boots up, if you did it correctly it will boot and say "safe mode" at the bottom left corner).
4. reset to factory settings, hold volume (-) and power key at the same time, (this will erase everything)
when i had this problem, i actually had to cold rebooted several times and reboot into safe mode after step 4 to have the touchscreen working again..I was about this close () to give up and return it to walmart..
I had the same thing happen to me, and all the rebooting in the world couldn't fix it. I don't know if you're still on stock rom or not, but what I did was reflashed the Prime rom and it worked again.
Nothing helped, even hard wipe.
Returned the TF.
I had this same problem... Unfortunately the only thing that worked was letting the power drain out. That was a huge pain because the Transformer has a killer battery and there are only so many times you can turn the screen on and off to drain it. It took about 4-5 days to fully drain. After that point I had upgraded to 3.1 and it has worked flawlessly since then... definitely a firmware problem not hardware.
So I've had my Transformer for several months now and it's been great. Today was the first time I've had this issue where my screen wont come back on but I can still hear emails and other audio happen in the background. This happened earlier today and then suddenly the screen came back on. Well about an hour ago it happened again. I tried turning the screen on and nothing but i'm still getting audio.
I've tried holding down the power button for 5+ seconds to try to get it to power off but it's not turning off that i'm aware of. Is there some other type of combo i can do to try to get it to respond? I've also pressed the power button, vol up and vol down to make sure no button is accidentally held in.
Any help? I would like to get this working again and not have to RMA it. I'm also running Prime v1.82 ROM.
When the screen went dark were you moving the TF at all? Any recent jarring? Sounds like possibly a connection has come loose. Just a thought.

how can i check the connection? Is there a "how to" for accessing the internals of this unit? I would like to check that before sending the unit back if possible.

Try holding down the Power + VolDown key at the same time. This will reboot your device...
I don't know if this pertains to your particular issue but are you running a different launcher? If so it may want you to choose which launcher at startup. If the picker window pops up and doesn't show because of a bug in Honeycomb the screen will go dark and you won't see the picker window. When it does it again try turning the screen to portrait and then back again to landscape and see if the picker window will show. Of course you will need to have Auto Rotate screen checked on in the settings for you to do this also.
I had this happen one day on my phone, and it was the launcher issue....
I recently rooted my new Gooapple V5-3g. Everything was going fine and I was starting to download apps from Google Play, add contacts, etc. I was listening to the fm radio today and turned the volume down, then tried to turn it back up. It would not respond when I used the volume + button, so I tried to reboot. I powered down, then held the power button to power back up. Although I did not hold the volume + button while I was pressing the power button, it went straight into Recovery mode. Every time I reboot, it goes straight back to Recovery. If I power off, then back on again, straight to Recovery mode. I accidentally went into factory mode (trying every combination of buttons to override my 'stuck' volume + button) and did a Key Test...VlmUp was the only key that failed.
Would this be most likely to indicate a hardware problem? Or is there something that I could have done to cause this (by rooting)? And does anyone have the slightest clue if there is something I could do to fix it?
I bought the phone from Android-sale about a month ago. The only problem I noticed when I first started playing with it was that auto-rotate would not work in text-mode (tried setting it every-which-way in both settings and the android pull-down menu, to no avail. It works in everything else. Other than that, the volume button/Recovery mode is my first issue.
Any and all advise is greatly appreciated!

Hi, I am facing with a very weird issue. If I locked phone by pressing power button or waiting until time out, the phone can not be unlocked. The phone it self not freezen. If I turn on music, it plays even after screen is locked, I can volune down and up. But the screen is not back on. I have to hold power button to force phone restart. The phone is working fine until screen is off. No application is installed and I have tried to do factory reset. Also, I have tried to enter in safe mode and nothing helps, the result is the same. Maybe somebody had same issue and fixed it. Or could direct me on the right path where should I look. Thanks in advance.
