I am getting about 2 random reboots a day now. Is anyone else seeing this along with long reboot times.

Ok just happened again and it was sitting next to me not being used at all.

Same here. Which apps are you using? Have you done anything special? Got mine just yesterday and haven't done anything yet except for installing 3 apps. Wondering if this is a hardware issue...
I know some apps n such aren't updated yet for this version of honeycomb or tegra3. stuff like that or device freezing up usually comes from a bad or incompatible app installation. like I noticed, n others also, that Google earth has been acting funny. I've had it freeze on me in Google earth and either forced an FC or reboot. only happens in Google earth after a while. someone else made a thread on it. some experienced it not loading or freezing up or even reboot. that's the only thing I can really think of. they say when device starts acting up, usually stems from one of the last things you downloaded or installed. so just work backwards uninstalling certain last apps or whatever to see if issue remedied.
same thing happens to me with just normal use... I'm starting to regret buying this thing. Just had it freeze while using google earth.
what worries me is that i've tried using my friends galaxy nexus with ics and it is also buggy/glitchy... i doubt that an update would fix all the problems everyone's been having with their prime.
nope, hasn't happened to me. No random reboot at all and I have over 60 apps on here

I have over 100 up here already. haven't had not 1 random reboot. only thing that'll could pinpoint causes issue was Google earth. which there is a thread on also. its needs updating to be more capatible with our device. sometimes it'll freeze up or not load all the data. that's a software/compatibility issue on Google earth side, not the prime. random reboots and freezes are usually caused by an app you downloaded. easiest way to eliminate the cause is to go back and uninstall the last apps you put in there one by one. then you will find out what was causing the issue.
I bet it's an app that's causing it. I got my Prime yesterday, and I was ready to return it last night because it was constantly freezing and rebooting. I had installed a ton of apps, most of which were apps I use on my phone. In a last ditch effort, I did a full reset last night and am slowly installing less apps. So far, it's running perfectly. I suspect Swiftkey X was causing the problem, as it didn't run properly, but I'm not sure that was definitely it.

I took your advise and so far so good. I disabled the factory restore and started from scratch. Seems better so far.

Mine did this twice after I downloaded and ran Google Earth. It locked up and I had to restart. After that it restarted twice. Since then it has been perfectly stable. :thumbup:

you mean me RIGHT? LOL
The Motorola Triumph I have is prone to random reboots, but in every case I've traced it back to a program...could be the same for you. A bit annoying as two of the programs were ones I'd used for sometime on my old Droid 1.
Not sure if it's a program that's causing it... it might be a more serious problem. mine has now frozen 4-5 times while the screen is off in the last week.
I uninstalled google earth after it froze but now it's casing me to hold down the power button with a black screen so it can reboot. i love this tablet when it works but for $500 I feel like it shouldnt have this many problems.

Yeah I figured out my issue was a live wallpaper. After uninstalling it I haven't had a random shut down to were I couldn't start it until after several tries.

Just picked up the 64GB Asus Transformer Prime 2 hours ago and so far really liking how fast this thing is! I got the keyboard as well, but as I am typing on the Prime, I keep accidentally hitting the track pad and keeps moving around. Will have to check for the settings if there is any. It does have Android 4.0.3.
Now will be selling my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

And you don't have any issues with horizontal lines across your screen?
I decided to get breakfast this morning. It was pretty good, although I kept trying to eat my cornflakes with a fork.

So far no horizontal issues that I see. only seeing the GPS issue like others, and low WiFi signal.
Another thing I did notice is that I have the keyboard dock and when I docked the Prime, it was showing that the Prime tablet was at 100% and the dock at 90% and started to have some lock ups, I restarted and when it did, it showed the Prime tablet 89% and the dock 91% and doesn't show that it is charging the Prime tablet. Hmm... Not good for a $600 tablet.
Another thing I noticed is that the cursor jumps all over the screen when I am typing with the keyboard and I don't even touch the track pad. Another bad thing. I might try to exchange the keyboard dock for another and see if it is the keyboard.

gps fix seems to be released in the new OTA update tonight.
What version does it up date too? Running the System Firmware Update and keep getting "Failed to Connection" I will keep trying
Hopefully it does fix GPS as I would use this feature a lot since I would be traveling outside office everyday.

Try turning off the touchpad while you type. It's the 4th button from the left on the top row, if your keyboard is like the TF101's.

Thanks i did disable the touchpad but thats not really what i wanted to do. I am going to exchange the dock for another one just in case there is something wrong with this one.
By the way keyboard works great with touchpad disabled.

Idk what happened but ever since the new update the mouse pad on the dock does not work at all in any app. Does anyone else have this issue?
Also burn in is a real problem with this tablet. over all i ahve had this tablet in my hands for less then a week and im not that impressed. I like it but really have not impressed me.
Anyone have any help for me?
Joe
Try toggling the key on the dock that enables/disables the touchpad?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Did you ensure the touchpad is turned on? It's the fourth button from the left of quick launch buttons

Do you have it on IPS+ mode all the time?
nope i leave it about 3/4 brightness on regular isp. It eventually goes away after using it for videos and other things. if i use it as my remote which i do alot with google tv and the harmony link...it burns and i have a grid of lines on the screen left over. i find it crazy that it can burn in so fast
If it goes away, it is not screen burn. It's image retention.

So, most of us have had our OGs go a little crazy responsiveness wise while plugged in and I've figured out that it's from the heat from our phones... Whyyyyy in the heck does the heat from the battery cause random presses on my phone? That's so dumb.... But, I know it's the source now because now that i've dropped my phone and have to get it replaced it has been getting super hot, and the spots where it gets hot will actually press buttons on its own. It's pretty weird because i can't use those parts of the screen anymore, it just won't respond to touch anymore but when the phone starts getting warm it'll do all sorts of stuff on it's own. Do you think it has to do with LG's "zero-gap" screen?
Yes.
The screen is super sensitive. It may be the biggest issue sadly.

Unfortunately, today, after no heating issues, my phone has developed a thin horizontal strip of screen that does not respond to touch. The issue seems to have materialized out of nowhere. No drops, no heat.
The strip is about an inch up from the bottom of the phone.
Luckily, the strip is thin and does not adversely affect my user experience enough to be a hindrance. Although, the fact in itself is bothersome. Hopefully, this will not spread out more throughout the rest of the phone.
FWIW, the strip is right across the Google search widget.

That sounds like the issue I have although mine only occurs on the home screen. I can't press any of the bottom icons unless I move higher. It works fine everywhere else.

This phone definitely has some quirks to it, but it really is the best phone i've ever had. It's the smoothest and fastest i've ever had, if it does start to bother you or gets worse, i'd take it to AT&T and just get a new one, not like you did something to make it happen so why not take a replacement?

I agree wholeheartedly.
I'm not with AT&T so I got my phone on ebay. I've read that LG will fix it with a proof of purchase, though. Gotta search the threads and possibly contact LG. As of right now it's not a major problem.

My issue isn't affected by charging, though. I'm charging now and no issues other than that one strip. And that is there regardless if it's plugged in or not. That's also the only area affected. No lag, stutter, slowness.

Yeah, that is a common issue with all Android devices. I've read that it is a voltage issue with the USB cable, charger or outlet. If it's happening, try a different cable or outlet. That usually solves my issue. I had the same issue on my SGS3, my old HTC Inspire, and my wife's Pantech Burst... But it was by far the worst on my Motorola Photon. Random touches would happen while the phone was plugged in and it became unusable while charging.

My OG doesn't get hot at all, at least it hasn't happened yet. But I do get occasional scrolling issue, it would go from scrolling the entire page buttery smooth to crawling 2-3 lines at a time, and instead of scrolling the page, it'd open the app where my finger started to scroll. Turn the screen on/off usually fix the problem, but it gets annoying after awhile. I thought it was quick memo causing it, that was the first time I noticed it but then it started to happen randomly when the phone is on charge, I don't think I've seen it happen on battery though. So maybe it is related to charge/voltage issue.

Mine by no means got hot, until it was broken, but it did get a little warm just like any handheld device does after some use. Seriously though, if Sprint did get an update to fix it, then i think AT&T needs to step their game up..
Its not much but its driving me nuts. I'm sure its software. I want to talk to anyone here that has seen this. Help me xda your my only hope.

I've noticed mine flickering a little bit, but it doesn't happen all that often. I never used it stock, so I just figured it was an issue with the Gapps ROM. Again, it doesn't happen often, so it doesn't bother me too bad, but just to make your mind at ease....you aren't the only one to notice this.
by flickering, do you guys mean the aggressive auto brightness? because that i HAVE noticed. usually turn it off anyway though

No, this is a different item. Like you, I turn off the auto-brightness too. I haven't nailed down when it happens, but it's just a quick bit of feint flickering for me, then back to normal. Kind of hard to explain I guess. I've noticed it a couple times a day since I got mine last week with pretty heavy usage.

My thoughts exactly. The more I read some of the forums, the more I regret my decision of getting the HDX on sale vs the Nexus 7....I was looking at the great specs and not thinking of more, but last night showed me the potential this thing has when I installed the AOSP ROM. Not perfect, but potential. Liking AOSP over the Gapps ROM despite not having music and video.
While reading yesterday's XKCD "What if?", I was able to reproduce the flicker reasonably well. It showed up frequently on the white theme of "Press", but not the dark one (or I simply didn't notice it as much). I did a quick video showing it the best I could. Sorry for the shakiness. The primary time-frame it happens is between 12-16 second mark.
