My new Prime's Asus logo glitches and twitches during boot. Anyone else have this? I'm worried it is a video problem!
Thanks.
this happened to me one time after the first sleep.. i held the power button down a while and also hit the volume rocket both ways.. basically button mashed while holding the power down and eventually it vibrated and turned on.. hasn't happened since.
Thanks Oasis. I was in the process of changing my post when you replied. To clarify for others, I was compaining that mine wouldn't boot, but it was simply in the dreaded sleep of death.
I'm interested in knowing whether others are seeing anything strange during boot. It looks to me like the video card is on the way out. The Asus logo moves about during boot and 'glitches' IE little flecks of random video corruption.
Thanks.

ah i see.. yea it happened the first night.. then never again.
yes, a lot of other people have mentioned the glitching of logo on boot up. doesn't seem to affect anything though. system update should take care of this.
Try not to blink so much people.
Blinking makes the Logo flicker during reboots. The Prime is just fine, check your blinkers...

Check! Rightho, I'll remember not to blink
Now the Prime is working again, but weirdly the battery is showing as 0% with a question mark next to it. And.... it has just gone into sleep once more. Aaargh. I should mention the battery was fully charged! Looks like the battery is messed up or something as the Prime asks me to plug in the charger even when it is plugged in.

give it a little to regroupitself or reboot it again to see if it clears this. is this a repaired prime sent to you or a completely new and different one?

This is the brand new, one of a kind, just released here in the UK one which arrived this morning.
I'm glad the glitching is nothing, but rebooting the Prime didn't have any affect. Battery still 0%, and the tablet doesn't realise the charger is connected still. Even did a factory reset to no avail. Ah well. They are very scarce over here and are not actually due out until the 12th so I've got a few weeks to wait before I can receive a replacement.
Mine has done this since day one. A little disconcerting...but I don't see a correlation to any other issues.

The past two mornings when I wake up my prime was shutdown and a simple power on does not do the trick. I just start hitting volume and the power button and it eventually powers on.
Anyone else having this issue?

I've had it happen to me a couple of times. This is very similar to what happened with my transformer, but very much less frequency. Basically when it goes on standby and locks the screen, and you move to a different location, it won't wake back up. You have to hold the button for 30 seconds to shut it down and power it back up. This isn't a major problem and will probably be fixed with future updates. I am worry about my other problems, GPS, sluggishness, and wifi signal is still really week. When it's good it's really fast, but when I'm in an area of my house (the toilet) weak ass signal!

This is exactly what I came here looking for. Mine arrived this morning and worked fine all day and now it won't wake up... Since I've had it for less than 12 hours, I wasn't entirely happy, but at least I'm not the only one with the issue and I'm sure Asus will correct it... at least I hope so, lol
+1 on this issue.
while sleeping it shuts down. It can be turned back on by holding the power button, but at that point it has to start back up again, not just come out of sleep mode.
2 days ago, I woke up, this happened to tablet - it was off. I am on ICS mind you. It was not battery as when I restarted, it had 44%.
I was a little freaked out as I had to hold down the power button for longer than normal it seemed to get it to come on.
Very strange.
I had this happen for the first time yesterday. I used the reset hole with a paper clip. The reset hole is the one on the left side under the SD card slot, not the hole on the top near the camera.
my email to Gary Key:
Is the 9.4.2.13 update expected to fix the shutdown issue that is
separate from crash/restart issue?
I do not experience crashes but my unit will read as an empty battery
when it is sleeping and shutdown. When started back up the battery
level is fine.
His response:
It should also address this problem. We had two units returned with
this problem and the update cured both of the units. I cannot 100%
guarantee it at this point until we collect additional data but
hopefully it will work fine for you. Ensure you are on AC when the .13
update is started. After the completion of the update. Please shutdown
the unit and do a full power on cycle.
I am still having the sleep/shutdown issues after updating to 9.4.2.13.
GK requested I do a full system reset (dont know if its different from factory reset in the settings but they sent instructions that takes you to the cold boot menu with the wipe data icon and then you wipe data) and update the included apps.
if this doesnt work, will have to send it in.
I can still return as well, but everything else is working (including GPS) so I hate to return it. And as of now amazon is only refund anyway so Id have to find a replacement elsewhere.
Love the smell of napalm in the morning.
after the .14 update, I am still getting shutdowns.
I downloaded the update, then cold booted, then installed, then cold booted again.
anybody else still experiencing this??
Maybe this problem was posted before, but I couldnt find one. To put it simply my Prime turned off abruptly and now wont respond at all, screen off, no sound, vibrations, nothing.
What had happened was when I invited a friend of mine to a game of 'Words with friends' on the Prime, the screen simply shut off and thats it.
The back story
From 7:20 am to around 5:45 pm today it was not touched.
From 5:45 to when the incident happened, I used mostly Dolphin browser, and some THD (game)
The minute before the 'crash' i was on the market ( called market when I was on it). On the MARKET I had started to download 'Words With friends', the download was interrupted by the change from 'Android Market" to "Google Play".
I continued my download after, opened the app, invited my friend, the second I clicked send, poof, crash.
End points
I am NOT ROOTED
I have NEVER dropped the thing
Is there anything I can do to get it out of this bricked stage?
Ps. Is this kind of thing covered by Asus?
have you tried charging it?

Since you have never unlocked, or rooted, and the unit is still under warrenty, there should be no problem.
You sound like you've taken good care of it, so, the warrenty should take care of it.
I'd also try using the factory reset and see if that works....Never have done it, but instructions are available in one of the threads.
I'd factory reset it if I could , but it simply won't respond, and It crashed at around 70% ish battery,

Happened to mine once, I freaked out, then calmed down. I plugged it in then I held down the power button for what seemed like an eternity, and it came on. Hope you get it to work.

Just a thought but it sounds like the battery guage is not working right on your devices. They shut off for no reason, wouldn't start until charged. Like I said just a thought. Maybe someone else can confirm?
Had no problems what so ever with my software until i updated to .21, ( others had flickers, signal problems and stuff like that. ).
How ever the last update seem to have given my tablet the "sleep of death" issue, so it seems to be called atleast, after putting it into sleep it wont wake up unless i hold the power button and let it turn off and then power it back up, happen twice and i just recently updated to .21.

A soft reset is needed just to get the thing working again... It happens again after that, so no, it doesn't really solve anything.

soft reset doesn't mean you have to reinstall everything again. that's a hard/factory reset. soft reset you just stick a paper clip in the little hole underneath the memory card slot.
I don't have that issue at all. I think 2-3 people reported it or from what I've seen so far.

ah, thought soft reset refered to factory reset and hard reset was equalent to nvflash, so just pressing the reset button is wourth a try...
Is this the problem where the screen goes black like usual and when you tap power it doesn't come back on no matter how many times you press power?
This started happening to me after the update, but all I had to do was tap the volume button and then the power button would start responding again.
Hope the fix is that simple for all of you.

It happened to me again and the volume trick didn't work this time. Holding power for about 10 seconds to restart still worked though. Are all Android tablets this unstable? As much as I love the whole idea of Android, the minor to serious kinks I regularly encounter with this thing are pretty aggravating.
It happended twice to me after the upgrade. Had to keep pushing power for like 10 seconds.

its just a software issue introduced with the latest patch and sins it wasent there before the patch its hopefully removed within the next update.
*edit* - it have happen a couple of times now for me and i tried spaming the crap out of the buttons with no result so the only working method is to hold the power button to it goes off or the soft reset button...
I posted this in another thread, but thought I'd put it here also in case the other one is too far down. This is working for me.
I've been having this since the latest update as well. It happens whether it's on the charger or not. So far I haven't had it out of the dock long enough to know if being docked has anything to do with it, but I do know that removing it from the dock once it happens doesn't clear the issue. However, I did notice that if I go under Settings > ASUS Customized Setting > BATTERY SAVING and uncheck MobileDock Battery saving mode, it doesn't seem to happen. After I did that it didn't happen for about 36 hours, but as soon as I re-checked it to test, it happened the first time it went to sleep. Maybe a coincidence, but prior to that I couldn't make it more than a couple of hours without it happening. Might be worth a try as a work around if you're having this issue. After it happened to me again, I unchecked the setting above again and have had no SoD since.
This has happened to me 3 times now since the update and the only way to get any response on is by holding the power button for 10 seconds. Mine has always been docked and plugged into the charger when this happened.

yea, saw this in the other post and tried it to, havent worked for me tho, :/, im gonna undock the tablet this night and ill see if it happens again this morning without the dock, so far it have happpen every morning with and without the charger plugged in, and even while it was a sleep in my bag at work, ( while in the dock ).
I had this happen for the first time today.
I lost about an hour of productivity as it took me ages to work out I had to hold the power button for just over 10 seconds to get it to force a shutdown.
I'm guessing everyone here has a dock who is getting this issue.
Lastnight I enabled the network deep sleeep and dock sleep in asus custom settings.
Anyone using the same? and getting the issue.

Could you elaborate more about what this screen is?
If you had it you would know what I'm talking about for sure.
If you were just asking in general. It all appears to be a screen that gives you an option to go into download mode after your phones hardware resets. Phone boots into it.
I got a black Demigod screen on my old phone Friday. It was the proverbial straw on a phone that was rebooting itself daily - I exchanged it on the weekend.
The black screen was, I believe, for a kernel panic. I got the same 3 options: Download mode, reboot to normal and something else...
Does your phone get poor battery life. Does it make noise when you squeeze it? I wonder if all these issues are related. You should have your phone replaced. My phone does not give me any of the problems people are talking about
the best phone ever
Yep, I got the yellow screen this morning. I was like WTF is this? Rebooted and all is fine now. We'll see how long it lasts. Any idea what causes this?

Was told in irc that its a mode the phone goes into that allows jtag over usb. If it does it again im just taking this one back too. Everything seems normal after a reboot for me too, something is changing when it happens though because my hosts file reset both times.
Both times it happened i was on sk8s kernel. But i havent seen anyone else on it say anything about it and i was on sk8s on my old phone too and it didnt do it.

All I've done is root, unlock and removed bloat. No other mods on my end so it can't be due to sk8s kernel.

They definitely know more. No doubt about it. At least we know one thing. I got it on stock while others got it on a ROM. So I'd assume that it's a hardware issue or an issue that's buried in the software. See, I just covered all the bases. Lol

Is all fine and dandy until you miss an alarm.
I just got the Demigod screen too.
All I've done to my phone is root it and unlock it with FreeGee.
EDIT: I had noticed that the phone was acting somewhat strangely the past couple days (slow response, screen not turning on when I press the power button, multitasking screen not appearing/not responsive). Now it seems alright even though I had rebooted the phone prior to the Demigod screen to try and resolve these issues.
My issue has been happening for awhile but its gotten a lot worse lately.
My screen, when on, will randomly start "touching" places. When this happens, it appears as if a phantom finger is pressing various things and it is causing a lot of issues. Also when this happens, the 4 buttons on the bottom stop responding. i have to use the power switch to turn the screen off and then back on again.
any thoughts on how I might be able to fix this?

Are you rooted/flashed a rom? If you are you should definitely wipe everything a few times and flash a new rom. If you aren't I would perform a factory reset.

It has happened across multiple roms. I will try again though.
If nothing else works, try SGS Screen Booster. My Rez has been having the same problem recently, and it's seemed to help quite a bit.
The right below the status bar, there seems to be a gap with what is and what isn't working properly, so I set everything to the max and lowered the response time to be as quick as possible.

Happens to me also. Do you have a screen protector maybe? That is what I always thought my problem was.
Certain chargers or USB cords with grounding issues can cause these problems. Does it only happen when it's plugged in?
I had one were it would cause the same issue when plugged into the laptop, but only while the laptop was plugged into the wall.

Eh, mine does this as well. It's been happening more often in the colder weather I get into. So I just turn off the screen and let it sit in my pocket for a minute so the screen can warm up, and then it works. I swear, these Asurion replacements suck.
I'm having the same issues with my Rezound. I also have a lot of issues with the soft keys not working now ( Far more often than the random screen touch issue ). They won't respond at all or they will start randomly start clicking. I also notice that when they stop responding usually I can put the phone to sleep, then wake it back up right away and they will start working about 10-15 seconds later. Even when they are working I often have to hit them multiple times before it takes. This happened with the stock rom. It started happening shortly after I received the most recent OTA update, however I assume that is simply a coincidence and nothing to do with the update. I flashed the phone recently with CM10 hoping it was an issue with the ROM itself but the problem persists. This is a shame too because other than the screen issue it seems that CM10 would have given the phone a new life as it looks and runs so smooth on the hardware. I highly doubt I will ever buy an HTC again, we have had two of them and they both start having hardware issues much faster than they should for what they cost.
Im using the unofficial cm10.1 build with no mods. i went through and wiped everything twice. cache, system, boot, battery settings, rotation settings. i flashed the latest at the time (build from 4/3/13) and now my phone is working properly again. no more hanging up on people caue it preses by itself, no more emergency dialing.
hope that helps anyone who might have the same issue.
