Just wondering if everyone else typically get presented with the shutdown menu when waking the tablet up? I've experienced this on TnT Lite, Vegan and Zpad. Is it just me, is there a fix and does this annoy the pi$$ out of anyone else?
My tablet tends to just shut completely down after a couple of minutes of being in standby. Not sure why. Haven't found a solution...though I admit that I haven't really looked all that hard either.

I have the same problem even on the stock TnT w/OTA update. I called support and they told me it was normal, but I don't believe it. I'm on my second g tab, and the first one I had didn't have this problem (I returned it because the WiFi would show error most of the time).
It's annoying enough to me that I'm thinking of exchanging it.
Mine does it on cmb4
Mine does it sometimes, but I noticed the you can avoid that by waking the tab by pressing the volume keys insead of power button.
Regards,
Rayan
Same problem here. Will try volume keys.

Yeah I got that issue too.
I would assume that the code that puts the device to sleep and wakes it up doesn't cancel the keypress from propagating to the rest of the system, so the system responds to the press of the power key with a shutdown menu, and wakes up.
I ended up exchanging mine yesterday. I just ran a quick test completely stock out of the box and the sleep seems to work properly, though it's fairly sluggish after waking (no OTA updates applied yet).
The bonus was that Sears had it on sale for $349 so I got a few bucks back.
With the Vegan Rom theres no problem talking there tablet in or out of sleep mode, maybe it's got something to do with the standard slide to unlock android feature, but it works great all the time.

I get it maybe half the time. Noticed it on tnt lite and vegan both.
I am having the same issue on my stock tablet. I am almost positive this started after the December 10 OTA update (3053).
I have this problem every time I set g tab to sleep, I will ask for an exchange.
I wonder if this is something kernel related. Anybody know?
It seems like after 5 minutes or so it just completely turns off rather than staying in standby. Not cool. Highly doubt its anything hardware related.

I have this same issue. My gtab seems to shut down with inactivity, rather than stay in sleep/standby.

Same problem here with vegan 5.1. Does anyone have a solution?
I'm still seeing that menu from time to time.
I can't reproduce the behaviour at will, it just happens totally at random. Except of course if I keep pressing the power button on purpose.
For me, that's the only Gtab annoyance right now.

I was just reading this thread and testing the behavior, and my device just shutdown on me after putting it to sleep!
I was originally going to say that I've seen the shutdown appear from time to time on various ROMs. I think CM7 was the only one I didn't see it as often on.
I pushed the power button to put it to sleep after trying a couple things. Then I read your post above, and when I went to pick it up again, it was already off. I think the tablet has powered off by itself about 3 times since I got it a week ago.
I'm currently on Caulkins v1.1.
this annoyance has been mostly eliminated/greatly reduced.

Thanks, I haven't used your kernel yet, as I haven't wanted to deal with the modules. Since you brought it up though, do I have to run insmod on each bootup, or only the first time (assuming I wanted it at that moment)? I know most modern linux distributions can autoload kernel modules, which is why I ask. Can this kernel autoload modules on bootup? Does android even support that?

they need to be inserted at every boot (whichever you need).
the app(s) you're using may pre-insert them for you.
you can dload gscript, and with one click, insmod everytime you reboot.
you can also stick a script in init.d to do it for you at boot.
After updating this morning to .15, I just got the random reboot since before the .13 update. Using ICS+ browser.
Am I the only one? This sucks. Gary Key, I've already sent you a PM.
Please don't fill this thread stating .15 is working perfectly for you. I already know it is working well for most people.
How many reboots?
In over 48 hours I have had only 1 reboot and I believe it was my fault. I was using the stock browser and was trying to do too much at once and not letting it catch up.
If your having multiple reboots that is a different story.
Just one thus far. How can any reboot be "your fault"?

Really guy, you created a thread because of one reboot??? An issue would be if you had constant reboots, not just one. Every tablet I have owned rebooted now an then, it happens. Now lets see all the 'me toos' pop up now.
after the update gta3 doesnt work for me anymore anyone has the same issue. I clear data then uninstall and reinstall the apk nothing. It will work all the way up until the load is almost finish and it gets stuck on the load screen. Freaking A
update: now Age of Zombies lets me play for a while and then its goes black and restarts the game. WTF before the update it did not do this!
Going to restart the tablet and hope this fixes whatever is going on
update 2: looks like that solved it thank god,
so guys basic troubleshooting restart your devices and see if the problem continues

That's very good advice, you should always reboot after an update.
My prime started restarting when i had my xbox dongle in the USB slot today. Had about 5 reboots today. Never had a reboot before(well probably once every three/month).
One restart isnt something to be concerned about.
I have had one reboot since receiving the update yesterday.

I disagree, reboots are NOT normal, I had the Xoom since the day it was released till two weeks ago, and never had spontaneous reboots like the Prime does(I also had no issues with the Galaxy Tab, and the HTC Flyer.) App crashes, Apps not working till reboot are one thing but I am getting reboots on .15 when even trying to run Market updates. I have hard reset and had the market reload my apps and the problem came back the very next day. I just returned my unit to Frys since it was my last day in my return window. I also had a problem with the covers on the USB cable sliding off and if I plugged the charger upside-down I would get a slight shock from the back of the Prime.
They did not have any in stock to exchange, which might have been a blessing. I am going to wait and see how future shakes out before trying again.
My theory(unscientific) is the the Prime is using very slow NAND Flash memory for storage. I had the 64gb version and when writing to the storage it seems to take a lot longer than the Xoom. If I had 6 or 7 market updates on the Xoom it would take 30 to 40 seconds to download and install, the Prime would take 2 to 3 minutes(if it did not reboot itself before completing.). I would constantly get the Wait/Cancel prompt on the stock browser when a website was almost done loading, and writing cache to the NAND Flash.

Lockups and reboots are no different then a BSOD on a PC its 100% not normal and or acceptable.

I agree, while my desktop PC seems to average between 5 - 10 a year, my blackberry playbook has had none so devices that don't randomly reboot are possible to make. In truth, though I love the Prime it has had the most random reboots of any device I have.

My two year old PC has never had reboots, in applicaion crash on occasion. I think the key is the stability and quality of the components being used, and in this case ASUS is cutting corners to keep the price low. Look at the threads with peoples screens lifiting and dust under the screens.
Don't get me wrong, I like the Prime and I will probably get another when some of the issues get sorted out.

Its because of the Tegra3 i wouldnt call it cutting corners exactly however their quality control has been pretty terrible with the Primes.
I agree. Reboots are not normal. I have never had a single reboot on my desktop that I built or my laptop. The only time my phone has ever rebooted was due to a known issue with an ota, which is fixed. I NEVER had a reboot with my prime until. 15.

I am experiencing lots of reboots
I was watching a flash video in the browser when this started. The tablet kept on rebooting itself over 15 times in a row....i had to use a paper clip in order to reset it. tablet has about 15% of charge left when this started. I am not sure if it related. This issue never occurred until this last .15 update. Also i noticed now they have the application not responding dialog box appears when an application hangs "IMBD", however after you hit kill the application it doesn't do anything and the tablet reboot itself withing 10 sec. ASUS when are you going to be able to fix this?
No reboot so far for five days.

This. After I installed new flash update I keep rebooting when I play youtube video. Kept rebooting 3 times in a row. Won't go near youtube again until it is fixed. Happened in dolphin. Seems to happen every time.
here are some observations:
Every so often the hardware keys stop working. (soft keys seem fine) Quick fix is put unit into standby then unlock and keys work again.
Lookout Mobile: while doing a backup the system shuts down for some reason.
I just upgraded my wife's g-tab yesterday to G-Harmony. She hasn't had any of the issues that you mentioned.
From what I can tell from the main thread, you need to completely wipe the gtab before flashing the rom. Here's (Basically) what I did.
Formatted each and every mount point
Cleared each and every cache
Connected to my computer via USB
Flashed the Rom in.
Booted and let it sit about 20 minutes before I did anything.
Downloaded a Term emulator and ran V6.
Everything pretty much seems to be ok. Every once and a while she experiences an issue with an app or two after it sits running for a long period of time but a reboot seems to fix it.
Hope this helps.
Other issue observations...
After loading G-Harmony on my wife's tablet this weekend, I've noticed a few things (complaints from her).
* After running for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours, system will get very slow and eventually just locks.
* Browser simply goes to a white screen
* Audio stops running (I found a thread that said to turn off GPS and reboot. I've tried that, but I don't know if it has made a difference yet.).
That's all for now. Is anyone else seeing anything like this?
There is a new ics rom by jamcar. Try it out. I did and it runs very good.
Thanks.
I'll take a look at it. Not sure if my wife will give up her tablet or high scores (again) but I'll see how she reacts. ;o)
I just installed AndroWook rom. I didn't want to, not really. I was hoping to never have to unlock my prime. But then there was the thread about performance, and the other one about users not being able to unlock. How could I possibly walk away from that kind of a challenge? So I downloaded it just to see if it would work. And it did. So then I had to install TWRP, and then I had to install a rom.
So I installed AndroWook with Motley 3.0.5 and all the tweeks it had to offer.
I didn't wipe, I cleared cache and dalvik. I have nearly 2 years of screwing around on an HTC desire, so I felt comfortable with this level of deleting. Everything booted up properly, no apps were missing and everything (as of now) is working at least as well as before.
Then came the big test. The one that annoys me more then anything else. Copying a file from a USB thumb drive to internal memory. It usually takes 10 times as long as my windows PC does. So I plugged in the drive and copied a 250mb file. It took all of 20 seconds (I didn't really time, but it was MUCH faster). My jaw dropped.
I'm sold. ASUS has no clue what they're doing. This thing is great. I can copy files to the internal storage without staring at the percentage copying 10, then stoping, 12, stop, 15, stop, 20... This time it went smoothly from 0 to 100%.
If you haven't unlocked your device, you're missing out.
Appreciate the oppinion. Would like to hear more from your experiences with custom firmware as I'm also very unsatisfied with stock rom.

Well I've been up for about 2 hours now, and while I'm not sure if it 'feels' a lot of faster, but I haven't had screen tear issues. I'll keep running this rom for at least a week and I'll update if anything changes. If there's anything you'd like me to test (as long as it is free or I already have it) let me know!
Parastie, you sound just like me almost. I've been twitching at all these challenges being presented before me. Failed unlocks, failed roots, better performance. How I've managed to resist unlocking so far is beyond me. My poor desire s didn't last so long, its been flashed so many times I don't think it knows what kind of device it even is anymore.
So you say file transfer is slow on stock, eh? I must witness this. Might be the straw that breaks the camels back for me. The one last push to unlocking.

Welcome to the club!
So when you say copying from thumb drive to internal memory, you mean via the usb port on the dock right? (must be because I can't think of how else you would be doing it.)
The reason I ask is, I've been unlocked for a while, but haven't done any thumb drive to internal memory copying since I unlocked. I also found this unbelievably slow when running stock though (and all the starting and stopping made me think WTF???)
Gotta try it out tonight.

Yeah the copying to internal memory was the most annoying. Slow as dirt, it makes putting HD movies on this thing impossible. I've only tried one file, but I'm going to try another large file when I get some time.
Also note, screen tearing still happens. I got it to stop by locking the screen for a few seconds, but that's still an issue.

Anyone know if handwriting notetaking is better with any custom roms? My biggest problem with the prime has been how bad the digitizer seems to be (as in trying to draw a diagonal line the prime makes a crazy wavy line). Touchscreen tune helps but doesn't fully fix the problem.
Not sure if this is something a ROM can really fix or not.
It does help some, I can tell the difference in a well performing rom by using handwriting apps. The handwriting apps when a rom is slow or sluggish don't keep up, kind of like an underpowered android phone and keyboard lag. But when performing properly, the handwriting is more accurate and keeps up with the stylus or finger, in my experiences.
Without seeing your problem, I can't say if it's because of your software and/or configuration, or if it's some very strange hardware problem that software can't fix. But I can tell you that typically a tablets performance overall greatly affects how things react to the touch screen and how the graphics render.

Can you please either confirm or contradict one thing: I had a battery drain issue. For example before going to bed the tablet was docked and both batteries almost full, in the morning - dock battery flat, tablet - half empty. SystemPanel suggested it's a Facebook app and, miracle, as soon as I deleted the app I haven't seen leaks anymore.
This's a bit strange because this app has never caused drain issues before. Syncing and notifications were disabled.

I won't defend asus as far a knowing what they are doing but I have never used a stock mobile device that could not be drastically improved by dedicated developers. The hardware companies are only focused on a product as long as it takes to hit a shelf and then by and large you are on your own. Thats why this is the best site on the internet for non sheep type people.

if you want to keep the facebook app, try turning off wifi when you turn the tablet off before you go to bed. super easy with the dock and i've gotten in the habit of doing so myself. i see 1-2% battery drain on teh tablet overnight, and <1% on teh dock. you might also want to try setting wifi to not stay on during sleep by default in settings, but idk if a wakelock via facebook would fix this.
also, did you try clearing data and cache or restarting and it still did this? anyways, sorry to be so OT to the OP. PM me if you want to chat about this some more.
I also bit the bullet yesterday.
Unfortunately my experience was not so good...
1. Unlocked, installed TRWP, made backup (and titanium).
2. Wipe device.
3. Install Androwook.
4. Tried to restore Titanium backup on to find it will prompt you twice for every app (I was not going to do this for 150 odd apps).
5. Go back to recovery, wipe device, and restore backup (this 'only' took about 30 minutes...).
6. Reboot, took about 15 minutes to boot.
7. My home screen was messed up, none of my installed apps would run, only the apps included in ROM.
8. Go back to recovery, wipe again, and installed AndroWook again.
9. Spent the entire day downloading apps from the play store again.
During the last step, the poor tablet consistently froze and even had a random reboot. Play store ANR'd about 15 times...
Eventually had everything back installed, but all my 'user data' is lost (hopefully I can recover this with Titanium if needed).
To be honest. It does not really feel any different. No OOOOHH's and AAAAAHH's like everyone says.
So now I have 2 problems. A useless tablet and no bloody warranty.
To top this off, I discovered another dead pixel (white one, not so noticeable) yesterday.

Thats the only thing which is bugging me on the stock rom. Can others confirm this major improvement? Can anyone say what is responsible for this I/O enhancement? Is it the ROM (IO schedulers) or is it Motleys kernel?

Well screen tearing still happens here. Of course, I did not do a full wipe and I'm running Wook which is based on stock. It is possible that AOKP or CM9 would not have this problem. I was going for what most people said was the fastest. As far as day-to-day use goes, after a full day I don't really see a huge difference. It was great before, and it still is.

I suspect JB ROMs will be better at this as it bumps-up the CPU speed for user interactions.
I have been having issues where my phone have been freezing up at seemingly random times and then getting into a bootloop until i do a hard power off and turn it back on. I've attempted a clean reinstall of the ROM but no luck.
I was going to flash RUU but my USB port doesn't work for data anymore so fastboot is out. (I tried to use fastboot on 2 computers running Win 7/ 8.1 with a couple different USB cables)
Can anyone recommend any sort of troubleshooting solutions to get this ROM (or possibly a different 4.4 AOSP ROM) to run a bit more stable?

Hi, sorry, I don't have an answer necessarily, but I was having the same issue with OmniRom before I moved over to the new partition layout. One thing you might try, though, is going back to stock (or at least some Sense based Rom) and see if you can get ADB/Fastboot working on it then. I noticed that I wasn't able to get it working on AOSP Rom (I think it was PAC-Rom specifically) but when I restored back to my Initial Stock nandroid, I was able to do it (Run the RUU for new partitions). So give that a try before giving up.
But I also had the random freeze, and boot which could only be stopped by the simulated battery pull like you described, and then it would work. A couple times, I would just be using it and it would freeze. A couple other times I would pull it out of my pocked and it was sitting there with the little android dude sitting there in the circle, staring at me. One time I just left it there for a while, and noticed that it actually was booting (kind of) but super slowly. It would sit there for like a minute, and then the antennae would twitch a little, wait 3 seconds, twitch again, wait 3 seconds twitch again. It was like it was running on extreme slow motion on the boot animation. I don't know if it ever would have finished, given enough time, because I never gave it enough time.
Anyway, if anybody has ideas on why AOSP roms seem to do that, I'd appreciate it. Had a similar experience with PAC-Rom, on the old partitions, with random freezes that couldn't be recovered from.

Hi, sorry, I don't have an answer necessarily, but I was having the same issue with OmniRom before I moved over to the new partition layout. One thing you might try, though, is going back to stock (or at least some Sense based Rom) and see if you can get ADB/Fastboot working on it then. I noticed that I wasn't able to get it working on AOSP Rom (I think it was PAC-Rom specifically) but when I restored back to my Initial Stock nandroid, I was able to do it (Run the RUU for new partitions). So give that a try before giving up.
But I also had the random freeze, and boot which could only be stopped by the simulated battery pull like you described, and then it would work. A couple times, I would just be using it and it would freeze. A couple other times I would pull it out of my pocked and it was sitting there with the little android dude sitting there in the circle, staring at me. One time I just left it there for a while, and noticed that it actually was booting (kind of) but super slowly. It would sit there for like a minute, and then the antennae would twitch a little, wait 3 seconds, twitch again, wait 3 seconds twitch again. It was like it was running on extreme slow motion on the boot animation. I don't know if it ever would have finished, given enough time, because I never gave it enough time.

Nah, installing a Sense ROM didn't work out for recognizing data over USB. I'm hesitant to flash RUU over wifi ADB (if thats even possible) because I wouldn't be able to use fastboot if something goes wrong.

That's good you didn't try it over wireless, because as part of the RUU process, it reboots to fastboot, and if all you had was a wireless connection at that point, the process would fail.

Hmmm.... I may be out of luck then. I'll just deal with the issues until a new Nexus phone is released (if one ever is).
Thanks for the suggestions though.
