wifi isue - Eee Pad Transformer General

Just got my transformer the other day, it seems i got one of the good models. It seems pretty well built, no creaking or anything, a little light bleed in the bottom screen, but not anything you would normaly see. Any way, when the transformer wakes up, it sometimes has isues with the wifi, its like its not proberly on my network, but if i manualy disable and enable wifi it works just fine again. Is this a normal problem? caus i dont seem to find any other with the same isue? i am running 3.1 official rom.
other than that, its a nice tablet for the price. i am glad i went with this compared to a samsung tab. (more bang for the buck here def..)

can no one tell me if this is a 3.1 isue, or if its a general isue of do i need to replace my new transformer? really need to know before my 14 days return rights are lost.

This happens on my Chinese model too(stock 8.4.4.7),hadn't when it was 8.2.3.9 though.
I'm gonna root and flash a custom rom,and see if this will be fixed.

tnx for your feedback, guess i will wait and hope it gets fixed. Just waiting for a easy way to root 3.1, then i will probaly try a custom firmware aswell

Have you set your router to a specific channel or is it on auto mode?

its set to a specific channel.

Unfortunately it sounds like you might have to wait for an update, as Asus downgraded the wifi driver for some reason in the 3.1 version. Either that or you could re-install an older firmware ofc.

ah tnx for the feedback. So its not a isue in 3.0 ? are there any custom 3.1 roms out there, with the older 3.0 wifi firmware in?

Rooting 3.1 couldn't get much easier - check out ANY release to rooted > 1.4 PRime guide. The only difference between 3.0 and 3.1 in the rooting process is you need to download an extra 200mb file to install an update (well downgrade) to the transformer before rooting.

Same problem. It happens when it's been sitting in sleep mode for a while. (It) does not matter if you set it to always stay on or not in settings. I have RMA'd mine due to the dead left speaker but that was mentioned on my list of problems so maybe it will get fixed but I doubt it somehow.

I got my Transformer on release day and it's had this wifi issue since day one. I've been through non-root/stock firmware; rooted/Prime 1.4 and the issue has persisted. I just turn the wifi off and then back on again (when it happens) using the keyboard dock shortcut or a widget on the display. For me it's not a big deal but I can see how it might annoy others.

I've had my Transformer since release day too, and I've not had this issue, until yesterday! Now I'm having it every other time it wakes roughly. I have not changed anything on my router, and I'm using a fixed channel. I'm way out in the country, so there are no interfering stations either. It is funny that it just started up.

funny thing is, today my isues are gone. Sounds like software bug. Do you use stock rom or?

Yes, all stock. I'll have to think about what I installed yesterday. I did install that monitor program that Amazon was offering free.

i dont think its a app that is messing up, mine or more or less clean, only got a few apps installed..

I have never had this issue with my stock TF. It goes in an out of sleep all the time and the Wifi is always available.

I really just want update to 1.141.07

So, I'm on my second a500, first one seemed "off", bad battery life, random shutdowns, etc.
now, I understand some issues are fixed with the 1.141.07 update. I desparately run the system update check like a teenage girl waiting for a boy to call. But no dice.
Is there any way to legitimately get the update?
Seems like people were being updated last week and then nothing...... (crickets chirping).
I'm still not very impressed with my second unit. screen on/off thing drives me crazy. I dont think the battery should be draining when in standby. etc.
I know that nobody here works for Acer, so dont flame me. But if I can;t get a reliable android tab, I think I may run back and get an Ipad2 instead. I have had an ipad 1 since release, and I guess i'm spoiled to only needing to charge the thing once a week, and I use it heavily.
I really want a android tab though - I'm a big google person and love having all my stuff in sync and connected. But I dont like having to live next to the power outlet, or wonder when my unit is going to randomly restart. I'm sure there are others in the same boat.
My first one runs great, just bought a second one at Costco with the fabulous deal they have. I have no battery run down issues. Auto brightness, Wifi, and gps all on....except when in for sleep mode. I turn on Airplane mode on and off through a downloaded toggle widget.
I've been using it periodically for 3 days and haven't turned it off. Even started a new book with Kindle. Still have 55% battery.
I'd say you are running a bad app which is the culprit. I bet if you go back to stock reset you won't have the issues, other than sleep without airplane mode.
...and no, we are all waiting for the update or 3.1, whichever comes first. I need it for Exchange, everything else is pretty minor.
I guess I should have mentioned. my first unit, I did a factory reset and ran stock for a couple of days, and still had the same issues.
This new unit is pretty much stock, and only thing I have installed is Flash, Kindle, and File manager HD.I have it running in airplane mode, wifi set to turn off when the screen is off, and screen brightness at about 10%.
I charged it all night, I have used it maybe 3 times today (since 6am), just to browse a couple of sites, and @2:30 today the battery was already @ 40%. it has been in standby most of the day.
I find it hard to believe that 2 different units could perform so poorly.
I really want to love this product, but haivng a hard time doing so, lol
The thing you described should be fixed with the 3.1 update...be patient.

Make sure you register the device via the Acer registration widget in apps. This will get your s/n in the OTA database.....

I too am waiting for the .141.07 update. Seems I read that Acer had pulled the updates. Still check every day. I like my tablet and have not seen battery issues with very little standby drain.
The only issue I have is that the WiFi keeps disconnecting. I have checked the advanced settings and it is set at always connected and I have tried changing the channel on my router (suggested elsewhere) but once or twice an hour I have to bump the WiFi to get it to work.

yup, did that on both units.
so, I made it 12 hours today on a single charge. I only used it 3 times to browse the web for about 5 min (no flash), and I wrote an email and sent it.
Sorry, but that is ridiculous.

Mine has been fine, except for the GPS.
I have a build 1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7. A new tablet and it's registered from today so they probably update them by batches because there are no new updates.
EDIT: But it works brilliantly apart from the crashes when I've installed any app. I've fixed that but it would be nice to be bug free.

You are lucky. There is a update from Acer here for your build. It will take you directly to 1.141.01.
You need to unzip it using this post and then move the extracted update.zip from the decoded.zip file to your external sdcard and then do the update key sequence (volume down and power pressed) and you're done
Thanks. I'm updating as I type this.
I just hope that it will update properly and that I won't have any problems with rooting and or bricking my device or any problems that I've already solved.
I come from Desire so I'm used to wiping my phone first so just updating is a new for me. I would also feel better if our bootloader would be unlocked.
EDIT: Updated OK. Root pending.
EDIT2: Rooted and disabled phone.apk
The phone now works perfectly and is updated.

This is an official update so it will either update or not if the checksums are wrong or it cannot binary patch a file. So no chance of a brick.
It works OK. The only thing I've noticed is the longer boot time.
The android screen takes a minute longer probably because it's building files.
I'll check logcat when I have the time and patience to mess with it some more.
I didn't know that the update would just fail. I was expecting a brick because I was reading some posts about people bricking their tablets. I guess I was wrong.
Feedback from Acer Support re Updates, Etc.
According to Acer tech support, there is no way to force the new firmware update or Honeycomb update to the Tab. You just have to be patient and wait for the Tab to update itself.
As we know, lots of people are complaining about the screen turning on/off/on/off by itself, resulting in battery drain. These complaints are well-publicized and easily found using search engines.
I first purchased a 16gb Iconia Tab. I called tech support about the flashing screen and reported it as an issue. After speaking with customer support, they emailed me a survey asking about my user experience with the Tab. I completed that survey and again noted the problem with the flashing screen and battery drain.
The new firmware update that was pushed to the device solved the flashing screen issue and improved battery life.
Then I bought a 32 gb Tab and experienced the same flashing screen/battery drain issue. I called tech support (to see if I could obtain the firmware update for the new Tab). Amazingly, tech support told me that they had never heard of this issue. I told them to search their knowledge base but they insisted this was the first time they heard about a problem with the screen.
I know that cannot be true because I called them twice about this very issue, and gave them feedback in their on-line survey.
Anyway, I expect that the screen problem will be resolved when the firmware update gets pushed to the device. Unfortunately, on my first 16gb TAB I got the firmware update the day after I opened the box. I'm still waiting for that update on the 32gb Tab after 10 days.

I had this issue. It's because of the wifi. My screen would turn on and off randomly and it was because my wifi was on my place where it had bad reception. I turned it off and the screen didn't light up anymore.
I didn't test if it also occurs on the new firmware.

Any fix for the sleep of death?

I have had mine for about 9 days now, and it has dose the sleep of death thing twice already... i am running Prime 1.5 it seems that peoples screens dont work after some sleeps of death... just wondering on it.

I know that when I installed Prime 1.5, I get "Sleep of Death" every hour... I went back to stock and "Sleep of Death" went away... I'm not sure if this issue was fixed yet. I was told last week that it might be kernel related issue. But in the meantime, you can also try a different kernel and see if that fixes the problem... If not, try a different rom or even use Prime 1.4. Worst case is to go back to stock 3.1.
I'm still using stock rom right now and plan on using it for a while...
ill have to give stock a test drive. i did see that when i changed roms i did get sleep of death.
we can just flash a CWM stock rom right?
I had this problem for the first time today. I'm on Prime 1.5.
I also had no sound when I got it back on. Had to reboot to get the sound back.
Any similar sound/sleep of death issues?
Any new information on a permanent fix for this?
Thanks.
ASUS is working on a fix for this. It has something to do with 'power management.'
Just wait patiently while they release a OTA to fix this and then devs will also incorporate this fix within the ROM.
I had it nearly every time I left the tablet on for more than an hour without touching it. Upgraded to stock 3.1 and it hasn't happened since... (I manually flashed it; didn't wait for the OTA if that matters..)
My first TF suffered a SOD but I think it was a screen of death not sleep of death. I could never get it back so I replaced it at TigerDirect. My current solution? I pushed the TF off to the side of my desk and bought a Xoom...

I read Asus saying they were fixing hte dock draining issue, nothing about the sleep of death. I have never had this happen, though I'm on stock, and form the looks of it the peeps that are on custom roms have this issue so doubt they'd fix a non-stock problem.

So i replaced everything with stock, and no sleep of death yet to happen. but i have been using it alot lately so ill let it chill for about the next 2 hours and see what happens.

Bought my TF a week ago, with 3.01, NEVER has seen SOD; today -finally- OTA upgrade to 3.1 in the Netherlands; since upgrade SOD every time TF goes in sleep mode..
Great upgrade, thanks ASUS! Any solution (except downgrading) around, plz?
Last nights OTA update fixed my deep sleep problems. This update apparently included a power management fix.
I've had my transformer for 2 months now. I had it stock, always updated OTA, until the NVflash/APX mode rooting method appeared and then I flashed PRIME! v1.4 and never had any SOD until recently when I upgraded to PRIME! v1.5. However, I did two other things around the time of the v1.5 upgrade that could equally have started the problem, namely; I started using a 16GB SDHC card in the keyboard dock and I also connected HDMI to my TV for the first time using a C-to-A adapter (this also does not work properly - uinstable image - intermittent digital interference flickers along the bottom of the screen).
I have since re-flashed PRIME! v1.5 using the APX/NVflash method and have stopped using the 16GB SDHC card in the dock and now the SOD has stopped happening..... HDMI is still an issue but that could be the cable and/or adapter.
Deep sleep , could it be tegra 2 issue?
the Folio 100, the toshiba thrive and Asus TF has this problem. all of them have Tegra 2. if i set the folio 100 to 30 minutes before sleep i can use it as long as i don't let it go over 30 min before i wake up the screen. if i close the screen (via the button) i don't get deep sleep problem before 30 min has gone. so there is some problem related to the CPU and memory going to deep sleep and can not get interupts from the button anymore
My SOD seems to only happen when it's attached to the keyboard dock. If I leave it undocked, it never get's the SOD. I'm on a replacement dock, and the original dock I had never gave me the SOD either.
I have the latest firmware installed and that didn't make a difference.
No dock. But had my first SOD with Prime 1.6 + Netformer and IO fix OC'd to 1.5
My first post so I'm locked out of development forum with the relevant thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070343&highlight=waking+sleepsleep+of+death
Anyway, had my TF for only a couple of days, goes to SOD two-three times a day already. I didn't play around with 3.0 much before doing OTA to 3.1 but 3.1 and now 3.2 still put it to this unnatural sleep.
Actually, it didn't wake up after updating to 3.2 itself.
From reading that thread the best probable cause appears to be the voltage issue when CPU clock speed changes - when waking form sleep clock speed goes up but voltage doesn't or something like that, and if some processes are left running, like logging to a file, the system never really goes to sleep so no problem with waking but a problem with catching the culprit.
Someone also said that in 3.2, by design, there should be even more sudden clock speed increases so SOD problem might become even more frequent.
One more possible argument for the voltage theory - SOD doesn't happen when TF is charging, meaning that CPU management is not that strict. Someone reported that Juice Defender, the app to minimize power consumption/CPU load, actually caused SOD on his TF.
The actual cause of SOD is a failure to get the correct value for blacklight on waking so looking at the display closely with a flashlight one still can see it running, allegedly, and can even unlock it. If that happens and the system is otherwise responsive maybe there's a way to force the backlight on, maybe some widget that toggles autobrightness on something. I'm waiting for my next SOD to test this theory, sometimes the screen doesn't look black, simply not light enough.
Maybe all I've said is nonsense but I'm an unrooted noob, I'm allowed.

After recent firmware update, tablet freezes

After recent update, within 24hrs, my transformer has frozen completely three times. This is where I have to hold down the power 10+ sec and turn the unit back on. One time, about 40min watching a video via hbogo website. One playing a game (walkabout) and another time, just playing mp3 from the main screen via a widget.
Has anyone else experience this? Never happened on prior firmware versions.
Keyboard flash problem
I don't know if this can help: after firmware upgrade my browser crash if i try to tipe something in a flash animation, keyboard isn't show and then crash.
Exactly the same experience here: with 3.01 I had no problems at all; since OTA update 3.1 two days ago 'sleep of death' (shutdown in sleep mode) all the time!
Very annoying, according to other threads/ forums SOD was SOLVED for couple of guys with 3.1 update - I just received my SOD with 3.1!
Thanks Asus; I do hope someone/ somewhere is working on a fix!
In the meanwhile: any help/ solution for SOD (except downgrading/ rooting) would be very wellcome!
TF101, US, stock 3.1 unrooted
Same here with some Apps. MyLibrary was working fine on a pdf, now it freezes and crash all the time. Impossible to read anything anymore.
Battery seems to be drained faster too.
Since I have gotten the update the tablet is very sluggish. It was perfect before. I had no light bleed and it was very smooth. Now I have a ton of light bleed and it is so sluggish it almost takes 4 mins to connect to the internet. Anyone know the customer support number?

software has nothing to do with your hardware screen showing more lightbleed, other than if the brightnessis higher which may show it better.

I don't disagree, but the fact is that I didn't see it before now it is terrible. I thought I had a "good one". Oh well.
In general last update has improved performance, allows more variety ( file types) in video streaming from my server, slightly better browser performance and slightly better wifi reception, however I have noticed a few lock ups that were not there before last update. Long Power button hold required to recover.
I'm having the freeze problem in Firefox after the update. it will work for a bit, but some sites will cause the tablet to lock up and I have to do the power off reboot. The stock browser is working fine.
On another forum they were saying it's pure superstition, but..: turning OFF the auto brightness has prevented sleep of death on my Transformer (SODs since update 3.1) allready about a day!
I know people say it's nonsense, but for anyone else struggling with auto shutdown in sleep mode problem; give it a try!

I've had four freezes, all in Press Reader tablet edition, and was thinking they were related to that app specifically, but maybe not. Reason being, my wife got her first freeze last night playing angry birds.
My freezes in Press Reader are not caused by the update, though, as two of them happened before the update was released. Also, I've discovered though that it is only the UI that is freezing, because on one freeze I had internet radio playing, and it kept playing for multiple minutes after the UI for froze.
More on my Press Reader freezes here:

Do freeze issues go away if you clear all caches / factory reset?
Reason I ask, is this has helped me in the past, so I always do one, including right after this recent OTA update...

Huh, I've not had any problems. My 32gb TF is a B50, and dock is a B60. I usually have it connected to the dock.
I've had my ASUS Transformer for about 4 days now, never had any freezes yet, not with nor without the update (updated yesterday).

Can't speak to the other people, but I'm not trying because it's such a [email protected]*dy hassle to do a factory reset, when there's no way to back everything up in one go without root access.
Backup is definitely a major shortcoming of Android.
+1 to the sleep of death issue aft the 7/16 update. Screen will go off and tablet will either reboot or need a reboot.
I have had my auto brightness off since day 1, kept default brightness, and have been lucky with no issues. Still on 3.1.

3.1 is the latest.. of course you're still on 3.1
Try changing the rom and kernel. The Netformer kernel seems the fastest and smoothest. I had the screen freezes also. Running Clem's v3rom for 8.4.4.11 then flashed the Netformer over instead of using Clem's kernel.

We're not talking sleep of death here, we're talking lockups while the tablet is active. Totally different issue, or at least totally different symptom.

Just received new firmware update p7510UEKMP

No indication of what it is, but it took quite a while to install. Does anyone have any information on this? I couldn't find anything at the Samsung USA site.
Got the update too. It mentions a new market available with the update.

Seems to have cured the wi-fi reconnection lag on my tab that came with the last firmware update.
Haven't seen any other differences yet.
OTA did not work for me. Updating with Kies, as I type.
I updated ota without issue. Also did not lose root, or at least apps that need root and super user still work the same. Seems smother but isn't that always the way. Hopefully browser will not crash like before, will see. Oh, and blazing fast, of course ;-)
installed, only thing I see different is market 3.4.4. This update did introduce the wifi reconnect problem that I have not had before this update. Sorry now I did it, will have to recoinoiter my position since the wifi bug is now included in this rom

Mate, it Can't be Truth! especially part with root remaining after flashing stock ROM.

Well, this update seems to have fixed the Wifi problems that came with the last update... It all seems quicker and tighter.
Sorry, I was wrong. After the tab has been asleep for awhile, Wifi has about a minute lag before kicking in. Same as before the update.

Did it just appear when you were connected to WiFi as an OTA update? Mine is still stuck on slow laggy 3.1 and have no idea how to get it to do a manual check for an OTA update?? I plugged it into Kies and it said it was up to date?

Mine is a US purchased P7510 - that's why I have been able to update it.
On the downside- the wi-fi reconnection lag has re-appeared after a couple of days. By that I mean - after the tab goes to sleep and is woken up by pressing the power button, it can take up to 30 seconds to reconnect to my wi-fi. If I go to settings and turn off wi-fi and then turn it back on again, it will reconnect in about 2 seconds. Weird ... but true ...
Stock Gallery performance seems a lot better to me.
Zooming large images is much faster and sharper.
btw. I didn't loose my root either
using galaxy tab 10.1 3g as a gt-p7500 phone voice call
I am using rooted galaxy tab 10.1 3g gt-p7500 with ICS ANDROID 4.
There is no phone voice call feature. How can I enable this
I noticed mild stuttering while flashvideoplayback. Was not there on KMN. Anyone else? Videoperformance decreases with every update ...

When I click on my market icon I get application not installed after this update. The icon looks different but doesn't launch anything.
Nevermind, it was just the icon for old market. Deleted then added the app shortcut again and it works.
Anything specific we should know regarding this update?

List of issues after Jelly Bean update.

So I've heard a lot of people reported that after the Jelly Bean update their devices got a lot of problems (like constantly reboot, can't connect wifi,...) some even want to go back to ICS.
So please list your issues here that you notice AFTER the update and DID NOT notice when you were in ICS . This will hep other people make their decisions on weather update or not.
Only thing I've noticed that might be considered as a bug is that, now when I connect to dock and move the cursor around the launcher, the cursor has less framerate...

biggest disappointment is that i cant switch dock keyboard locale as i used to in ICS
when i press Ctrl -space it indicates that i changed from Greek to English but i type again in Greek
Rear camera
Hello!
My first experience with JB, was that my "rear" camera became messed up. The camera itself seemed to work (focus, zoom, shooting etc.). When saving/rendering, however, every 2-3 images became solid green or what looked like "double exposed" with distorted colours. I shot some pictures only a few days before the rollout, and the pictures were just fine. The front camera was OK.
After having read a few threads about tips on how to do a FW upgrade in general, I ended up doing a factory reset. After that the camera now seems to work fine; I have shot about 15-20 images without issues.
Another detail when it comes to the camera; the nice, little shutter animation is gone under JB.
I am on the WW-version (Sweden), stock ROM, no ROOT - so nothing strange. I got JB OTA friday 2012-08-24.

Random reboots here, even led me to factory reset just in case, but n this morning it has happened again, seems to be connected to when the screen sleeps but really cant tell.
Not a HUGE issue but somewhat annoying. Still better than ICS

Same problem with mine. It has started doing a reboot and sometimes even a "sleep of death", where it won't turn on after it's gone to sleep and I have to hold the power button in for some time. I had no problems before JB.
Mine cant detect the external sd...both micro sd and full sd are not readable...
Usb however works fine...
At first I had a boot-loop causes by EZoverclock,.. so make sure before you update to unintstall ezoverclock.
After factory reset (I know now that it was possible to uninstall ezoverclock during boot-loop:silly, cold booted...
i reinstalled my apps, and found that MX-Player doens´t support hardware decoding with 1080p MKV files anymore! (Worked with ICS!)
I can only selected the software rendering. Going to try other players now, but hardware decoding seems a problem with JB.
I also can´t get Nova Launcher to work. Not with normal installation(error -24 during installation) and also not as a system app.(app crashes)
anyone else with same problems ?
I've had a few application crashes that whilst I can't say is because of JB, I don't think they happened (or as often) with ICS.
wifi is working but it has a problem with the dns servers. had to manualy correct this problem to get on the internet again. No problems on my laptop thats also wireless.

Here the same issue,
when i am using sleep timeout (30s, 1m, 2m, 5m). But only when i connect the keyboard!
When the keyboard is not connected the screen times out just fine.
When the keyboard is connected, I use sleep never... for now.

Same Issue with mine ...
As I use the device in a learning environment I prefer it to sleep now and again, preventing battery drain. It seems I cannot use that for now.
I have sent technical request to Asus. Awaiting their response.

try under Asus setting 'mobile dock power saving mode' and see if that changes anything.
I think if it is not checked, then the tablet will stay awake if on the dock and not closed.
(General statement)
Baffles me why any one who is rooted would try to force the OTA. Just be patient. You'll get an update via ROM.
For those who didn't wait and are now complaining about the end result, you should have read up on what an OTA could do to your device and waited.
have nothing on either sd card internal or external
i wiped everything
and started from bare bones
not one problem
US pad
tf300
no issues at all. It's been rich solid for me and way better than ICS. Current up time is going on 132 hours (prior to that it was like 7 days and I only had to "reboot"cause the stinking battery died) with pretty much constant use. I keep it on performance mode 24/7 and its fast fast fast (although I do notice it is slower than my Samsung Galaxy S3 which is running CM10 and overclocked). Practically everyone that touches it comments on how fast it is...

The answer from ASUS
Thank you for your email.
From your email I understand that the Eeepad isn’t working correctly after the update. This is very inconvenient and shouldn’t be the case.
i advise you to reset the Eeepad and to check the firmware if there is another new update.
You can reset the Eeepad by switching the device off. Once the device has been shut off, you push the volume minus button and the power button at the same time. As soon as you see something appear in the screen, you push the volume plus. This will reset your device. Please back up your data first, because a reset will remove all data which you have installed yourself.
After this, you can update the firmware. You can update the firmware via: Settings --> About tablet --> Firmware update.
If the solutions which are written above didn’t solve the problem, please contact us again.
I don't think this solves the issue, as I can not see any new firmware when I check now. Then again I am doubting whether a factory reset will solve it. Anybody tried a factory reset after the JB upgrade ?
Applied the blob from the website. Guys, is it just me or the sound volume is now much much lower? I'm talking especially about headphones, I have to raise the volume much higher to get the same sound as on ICS.
