This has happened several times now and I've never actually witnessed it happening but I have to assume my Prime is restarting itself while sleeping. I usually have multiple tabs open in Opera and sometimes when I come back to my Prime when I bring Opera back up it comes up fresh with no tabs open has anyone else noticed random restarts? what would be the easiest way to verify my Prime is actually rebooting itself vs maybe Opera is crashing?
Fastest way to check: Leave a particular app open. If it's closed then it has restarted.
Anyway, after a few hours, most stopped processes are killed by the system to leave space for background tasks, so probably that's the problem.

Can't you just leave an app running in the foreground and lock the screen? When you unlock, it should open to the same app you left running in the foreground.
...or just look at uptime under about tablet -> status.
Wouldnt the uptime reset in the about/battery sections?
edit: ninja'd
My phone sometimes does this too

Thanks guys I guess it's not restarting so I wonder why sometimes Opera closes all my tabs and usually they stay open?

So up until today, I've had not one single issue with my flyer. It's been super speedy and very responsive. I left it last night on the charger uploading a video to YouTube. (WiFi only BTW.) When I woke up the upload was done and the battery was charged. But everything seemed super slugish. Just flipping between home screens was painfully slow. I restarted the tablet and was shocked to see the device hang on both shutdown and reboot. For much longer than normal. I've never seen it this slow. I went in and killed some un necessary services and processes ... No change. I restarted the tablet again and if seemed slightly faster. But not like before still. I haven't tried rooting I'm still 100% stock. Could it be a virus? If so does a factory reset take care of that. Is rather not have to do that but I'm willing If its sure to solve my issues. Any other ideas from anyone? My recent installs include Google+, VidTrim, xda, and soundcloud.
I'll post back here if things change or I find the culprit. In the meantime has anyone else run into similar slowdowns?
P.s. I was wondering if it was an HTC sense issue. It crashed on me once before rebooting the first time and seemed to take forever to load after powering on ... All the animations were laggy and the clock was off by about an hr..... Frustrating. I really like this device.
Hi,
I get a major slowdown on my Flyer when connecting to 'free' public wifi sites. These are sites that provide free wifi after you have signed in via a web page where you enter a username/password or checked a box to accept some terms and conditions etc.
The wifi at my home or via my HTC Desire hotspot is fine as are all other wifi hotspots where I connect directly using the name and credentials stored in my Flyer. It's only these ones that require the additional login that give me trouble.
When it hits, the Flyer becomes unusable for anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes. Hitting the home button generally shows a blank screen that gradually (and I mean g-r-a-d-u-a-l-l-y) redraws. A message stating that HTC Sense has stopped appears and you have the option to restart sense, wait or tell HTC. None of these help as the message box just disappears and then reappears about 30s later. In all cases I've noticed that the sync icon is showing in the notification bar.
It's a real annoyance, but I can mitigate it if I login to the sites before the sync starts. Unfortunately if I accidentally wander into range of one of these sites, and the Flyer finds it and decides it's time to sync then it stops again and I have to very patiently wait for the screen to respond, pull down the notifications, switch to the config settings and switch off wifi. There is still a delay until the sync realises that the wifi is no longer available.
As I said above I also have a HTC Desire that connects to these networks with no problem. This is not running sense however as I needed more application space so instead it's running gingervillain 2.7 (android 2.3.4) and has no problems with the connection.
So I suspect Sense and some synching operation its running. Will do some more investigation tomorrow as more users come online at work.
Cheers.
Haven't heard of any Android viruses that slow down the system like you are talking about, only malware that is disguised as an app. So if you haven't installed anything recently, I would say not any type of malware.
Factory reset may help. But of course, that means starting from scratch re-installing all your apps, setting up your home screens, etc.
I'm attributing it to the fact that the thing had been up and running for like a week. After a restart it seemed to have cleared up. Note to self .. power down and reboot every few days.
I had something very similar...
I installed "a bunch of stuff", then went traveling (across Europe), and tried to use the gps as I went. The flyer slowed to a crawl and became very temperamental. It felt like something was hogging the processor. Several reboots did not fix the problem.
Even sometimes the unlock screen could not get enough processor cycles to complete the unlock.
I started uninstalling the various apps I had installed, and eventually normal service was restored (and has continued fine).
Unfortunately, I was not rigorous about the uninstalling sequence, so I can't be sure what caused it.
My suspicion is that it was an Engine I installed for Text-to-speech settings. But it is only a suspicion. Like I said I installed a bunch of stuff (stupid really).
If someone can point me to an installation history howto, I'll try to be more precise.
So this has been happening to me for a while now on multiple firmwares, but I just today started to realize how widespread the problem is/might be. The simplest example of what happens is that my games will randomly pause while I'm playing them. I don't mean freeze up--the game will lag for a sec, then it will actually be paused as if I hit the notification bar or something. Splashtop THD is also giving me problems. At first I thought it was the app, but others have been saying they don't get frequently dropped connections. For some reason my connection drops every few minutes even with great reception. Lastly, my wifi will randomly disconnect. I have great reception and speeds, but sometimes it will just stop working and I have to turn wifi off and back on again. I really feel like all 3 of these quirks are related, and I would love for them to all GO AWAY.
Anyone else having a similar experience?
try a reboot to see if it clears things up.
RYAN used REBOOT! TRANSFORMER PRIME is unaffected!
Have you forced GPU usage in developer options?
Not yet, will try tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
EDIT: did a few games of Fruit Ninja and it seems to be fixed, but I'm anxious to see if it takes care of my problem with splashtop. Thanks for the tip!
Don't know whether this is related or a separate problem, but I've been having weird behaviour with Android Market. If I click on an update notification to jump to the Market it will sometimes drop me back to home after a few seconds, often closing both Market and the last app I was in at the same time, they both disappear from the task list too. It goes the other way sometimes with Market randomly popping open without warning.

I have the same issue, though it mostly happens with the stock browser and Pulse.
After playing around with the force rendering setting for a while, I think the problem still persists but is much less frequent. I'll be so happy if nVidia ever gets their freaking kernel/drivers to work right -.-
I dont know if it's just something i am doing or this is a problem no one noticed. Using .28 and i noticed the Asus customiuzed settings arent holding as soon as you exit that dialog and come back. Example: ASUS Customized Settings, go to the bottom and select disconnect network during sleep, it will allow it to be checked, but as soon as you go back to it (i noticed this because the unit wasnt sleeping good) it's not checked anymore. Same with WIFI on during sleep, intermidently this changes to NEVER, then i reset it back to only when plugged in..
Someone else try this and let me know if this is something on mine or everyone has this
Thanks!
Mine does the exact same thing. It started after the. 28 update. I use Juice Defender instead now and it does a nice job of keeping everything off when it's in sleep.

I dont understand why no one else noticed this battery hogging bug!
PS. What version of JD are you using, i tried it but i started to have problems where it didnt detect the wifi signal after starting up.
I'm using the paid JD and I have the same problem with it sometimes failing to reconnect. I can usually fix it by opening the app and tapping the force wifi reconnect button and then rebooting. Annoying but better than my battery draining when I'm not using it.
Hey everyone,
Has anyone else been experiencing lag on their Optimus G when they scroll through settings, contacts, messages, or apps? On my phone i consistenly get some stutter when I scroll through the settings menus and I wanted to know if this was normal. I am on my second Optimus G after my first one had overheating issues and this one now seems to have some lag issues for some reason. Is this even possible? or am I being overly obsessive over this? I love the phone and if i do take it back it would be for another Optimus G I am just wondering if what I am experiencing is normal.
Thanks for the replies,
yidavs
I do see this once in a while.

Thrown up by my LG Optimus G, why you jelly at my superior phone?
But this isnt a lag per se I guess, its a stutter, I dont notice it when opening things up, it just when i scroll through screen, especially settings, its stutters a bit. I think I am just being paranoid.

That's called ICS. Mine does it too. Haha.
If the phone is charging it tends to act strange. So if it is charging try getting a multitouch visualizer and try using more than one finger, it doesn't like to recognize some taps and multiple fingers. (The best way to reduce this is to use the stock LG cord and plug, I was using an older one and the phone was almost unusable, still sneaks in on the LG ones though).
If this is happening off the charger... I am sorry to hear that, I haven't noticed anything of the sort.
But I am on The Base with Nocturnal Mods (not sure if there are any performance tweaks in here or more just audio/visual candy) and am using a third party launcher.
Well firstly, I am using stock software, so ICS with LG's UI over it with no mods. Secondly, I was able to find a place where it lags every time: when I scroll between the sound and display settings. This makes me think it may only be a software issue and should be fixed with Jelly Bean when we do get it eventually. Although strangely enough, now my battery life is really bad, like it wont even last me a day where as a week ago it would last me a day and a half

Are you using the tabbed settings (I'm not sure, but I think AT&T made this... may explain why it doesn't work as well, you can get the default settings menu by just pressing the menu button in the main menu screen and selecting list view (or whatever the only option there is called).
Also, Are you getting wake locks or anything?
I just today had mediaserver DESTROY my battery (like 20% in an hour) and it was second only to android OS in my battery usage info.
I seem to have fixed it though (it didn't go away with a reboot). I had to freeze media storage, boot into recovery and clear my caches, reboot and restart media storage.
I also deleted a song I had downloaded from a youtube video (it was the only new thing I had downloaded it a day or so and thought the conversion may have corrupted the file which is a suspected culprit of media storage rescanning forever).

Thanks for the settings advise, i did it and now it doesnt stutter when i scroll through it. As for the battery life, I am not sure how to do any of what you suggested. Are you asking whether i am getting any lag when waking up? is that what you mean by wake locks?

I'm glad the settings thing worked.
And for the other things, you would have to be rooted and unlocked with an app manager program like titanium backup pro or ultimate backup pro.
Pretty much, a wake lock is an app or process that keeps the phone awake even when the screen is off, using the battery when it should be sleeping.
If you go into settings>power saver>battery use you can see what is using your battery.
Android OS is high on this phone, then next should probably be screen and so on by what uses the most resources on your phone.
One of the big culprits (at least for me) was mediaserver, it was using a lot of power.
Another possible cause for battery drain on this phone is the way AT&T and this phone handles a data connection called fast dormancy (I believe this is for if you have 3G, not sure tough). There is an app that can fix that, but you have to be rooted for that to work I believe.
And you could have installed another app that is keeping the phone on, even if the screen is off.

Thank you for the advice, today my battery life was better, but looking at the battery use break down my "google services" was the highest. I mean it was higher than Android OS which i have never seen before. Wifi was second which is understandable since I was on my college campus all day and then came Android OS. What does this include and is there anyway to reduce this?
Has anybody else notice that the okay Google hot word detection does not work on the lock screen, does not work with the screen off and does not work from any screen..
I've tried several times resetting the settings in google settings /voice
Even the "always on" toggle itself gets stuck and won't turn on or off without turning off and on the main toggle..
Just verified this problem after playing a heavy game for while. OK Google bacically wont work anywhere at all, sometimes intermittently working only on home screem, but rarely,
Coincidentally I check ram usage In developer options while it won't work, its been in critical for the last few hours of use time.
My nexus 5 demonstrates no such issues, works all the time. Maybe its oom killer killing off the google search or play launcher apk, whatever apk that is tied into. Just guessing at this point
Yeah I'm having exactly the same issue. If you go into app Google settings under /voice the toggle are glitchy and stuck they won't move. I have to change the main toggle off and on, in order to reset the bottom two toggles.
Until I do this every time "okay Google" from the lock screen or screen off never works.
More people should check this on their nexus 9
I have the same problem. I'm considering resetting the device and upgrading to 5.0.1.
I'm on 5.0.1 issue exists
Why do you guys want it any way? It's a battery hog

It's a very convenient way to do things without touching device. It's supposed to work.
Even on the nexus 6 it's periodic but on the nexus 9 most of the time it's not working unless I do a fresh restart

It's one of the reasons I bought the device. I use commandr and tasker to do things like WOL my PC, and I wanted a device that would always be listening so I can have those actions always at hand. The fact this is broken months after the device was released is disappointing, to say the least.
