Well my transformer lasted almost a week. Now it won't turn on. Lame.
I think mines is as well...
Good...everyone wanted to know!
Seriously??? I really am wanting one. They sounded so good.
Is it dead because you tried to root it and throw Roms at it or anything like that?

Had mine for 3 weeks, no such problem.
You know you'd get more help if you explained your situation rather than just talking like an emo kid.
maybe if you explained what you have tried? Have you tried holding the power button in for 10 seconds + then turning on? Have asus confirmed that the unit is a dud?
Mine is fine as well. Got it on release day
Mine is still working fine. Had it since 7th April. Have you tried any software modifications? Dropped it? Of course it could be bad luck as every consumer level device has a small % of failures.

mine sometimes randomly turns off i think. It takes awhile to get it to power back on =\
edit: i haven't actually seen it turn off though so maybe something was just pushing on the power button or something
I've had mine rarely stop responding to the power button after being left a long time (overnight or such).
Hold power down for about 15 seconds to turn it off, then wait a few seconds, then turn on again as usual. It's early adoption of a new OS, there's gonna be some bugs, I'd hardly call this a show stopper.
i had mines since US launch and its been fine. I had to wipe the OS cause of setting VTL LAuncher as default wont not log into the lock screen,(after shutting it down) other then that its fine.

Mine works fine, it's been 8 days!
Sorry about posting the thread here as I couldn't post it where it needed to go. I have had this GT 10.1 for a few days love what it can do but It continuously wants to go to sleep and not wake up. This is a locked rooted 32gb version.
I have noticed while it is in the dock it tends to only lock up on the home screen and it solved by just removing it from the dock and inserting it again into the dock. When its not in the dock it does the Sleep of death and If i plug it back into the dock while is SoD it will come back to life. I don't have any idea if this helps with your deductions on dealing with this bug. But I thought It could help somehow.
I didnt plug the dock into any power source either.
Well I tried doing the above now its boot looping DARN I REALLY like this thing
after the 3 or 4th SoD the OS got garbled and I had to do a factory reset and reload the OS using ODIN and back to Stock.
Gonna remove the OC kernal witch I had loaded and reload the STOCK OS until its fixed.
I have this problem, my tab 7 days old is dead... I was using it, turn it off connect it to charge it and it is not working now..
Is there any fix or way to get out of the sleep of death?
the asus transformer forum says it's fixed with 3.1 (mostly).
i guess it's the reason why the EU release is delayed permanently.
guys i dont thing there anything wrong with the tablet. i believe its the wall charger.ur usb on ur pc or laptot is not ready to charge ur tablet but it will at a slow rate, really slow.i tired charging it with the wall outlet n it would not do anything. called samsung thay wanted me to send it in for service.i said no.i have it charging with my laptop.that work for me.give it time to charge and u'll see it charging.the cable is good its the big box that plugs in to the wall thats bad.

Mine wouldn't turn on for the life of me yesterday...exchanged for a brand new unit at best buy....wtf!
Mine does the "Sleep of death" only with custom firmwares and when charging on the media dock...going back to stock fixes the issue...to wake up the tablet I had to make a combination of Power + Volume Down for several seconds until it finally turns on...
Mine was stock. No combination of button presses worked for me
Same with mine. I just shipped it back for repair...

You just need to hold down the power button for 15 seconds, or so. Maybe 30. I've had this issue a few times in the few months I've had this. My bigger problem is the Wake of Death. The stupid thing turns itself on for no reason, and never goes back to sleep, so the battery is almost dead when I go to use it. This happens a few times a week. Drives me crazy.

Hello, android developer here.
The other day my xoom drained all the way to 0% (this happened overnight while I was asleep). I noticed right away because I use the xoom as my alarm clock. I ended up sleeping in that day (doh!)
Anyways, now the darn thing simply wont turn on. I try to soft reset (vol up + power) but nothing happens. I tried plugging it in via usb thinking I could reboot it with adb, but my computer fails to see the device. So its turned off and simply will not turn on. I've even let it charge for 2 days straight (green charge light on device).
Nothing.
What the heck man?
Dumb question.... How long have you held the power button? My Xoom (maybe others?) won't turn on unless I hold the button for 2-3 seconds.
Ive gone up to 60 seconds of button pressing...when it doesnt work one tends to go to extremes lol
I can't believe this, first time I've ever had a device die like this :-/
Did you charge it before you tried to turn it back on? My Milestone tends not to turn on after it drained below zero for like ten minutes until the battery has at least some basic charge again.
Try turning on right 3~4 minutes later putting on a yiur charger

If you really want the iPad, here's the perfect excuse.
However, if you want to save your Xoom, you might want to check out the Motorola Factory cable from Team Black Hat (Google it). If there was ever a use for this cable, your situation seems to define it. Your Xoom seems to think it's not charged (drained) or can't take a charge, but it sounds more like the former situation. The Factory/Programming cable obviously makes a different electrical connection and makes the Xoom think it's charged...something like that. Check it out.
Also, at least one person made one out of a usb cable and it saved his bacon. You'll have to do a search for his thread...it was a while back.
Good luck, what ever you do.
You need to make or buy the motorola factory cable. That will get you booting.

Yes, I have seen this also. Pull out the SD card and the unit comes back to life.
Running fine for a day, then suddenly when i looked at the screen it was at the "Asus" screen (with the logo and spinny thing below) - i touched the screen and it froze.
And now its frozen.
And I had just charged it...grrr - do i really have to wait 12 hours or however much it takes before the battery is depleted.
I wonder if there is a way to reset it.

Hold the power button down.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Happened to several guys.
Did you try to press and hold power for ten or more seconds? It should power off and you should be able to power it on again.
this is happened to me 3 times so far.
Hold the power button to power off and reboot.
For mine after it boots it'll run ok for a minute or so, then run horribly slow until the launcher crashes. after the launcher starts back up it'd be ok.
Did you hard reset before the OTA? Where you stock, stock rooted, cwm flashed? Just trying to get more info.

We are having way too many threads for the same issue...
Mine still experiences the problem after a factory reset.
As everyone mentioned, holding down the power button fix it temporarily.
Someone else reported that you can avoid the random reboot problem by disabling deep sleep using no sleep widget, although it's a crude walkaround.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Just an idea but what if you use something like SetCPU and up the lower frequency. Had this issue on a kanged ICS rom for my phone. It wasn't the deep sleep that was the problem but the lowest frequency was too low to re-initialize the apps that were cached once you woke it up.
I did a full complete wipe and updated from .13 to ICS and am not going to jinx myself by saying what I am implying. If you know what I mean.
Interesting, and I do agree that there are too many threads, since I am trying to get some idea of how common this is. I think I was the original poster on this, but in any case in my particular situation I tried holding the power button down, resetting it through the reset hole, and holding the power button in while pressing the volume button down (this did give me the option of reformatting which I tried) but in every case it simply flashed the eedpad screen. The battery finally appears to have died and I'm trying to recharge it now, but so far it is now completely dead. All of this happened after it went into deep sleep. This tablet is 100% original, never been rooted or tampered with in any way so, unless this is a coincidence or a combo of ICS and one of the apps I have in it, I expect this to become a very common occurence. Anyway, I'll let it charge for a bit and see what happens. I already have an RMA (the service person didn't seem too surprised and didn't really try much trouble shooting - when I asked if he had heard of this before he kind of said I wasn't the first) so I'm sending it back to Asus on Monday so that when I get it back I can sell it, but I'm just wondering what percentage of people are having this problem. Heck, if it's even just 5% Asus is going to have a major expense on its hand.
I had the dreaded Asus logo freeze twice now, since the ics update. Both times when I wasn't using the tablet.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Mine has frozen 2x already since the ics update. I performed a factory reset before and after the update.
Screen just goes black/blank and would have to hold the power button for 10secs.

Hey thanks, I thought I had pressed power down for long enough - but apparently not.
I was on normal HC and just accepted the update when it prompted me for it.
But if a lot of people are seeing this i guess Asus made a little blunder in this version.
I just came in after leaving my Transformer asleep for about three to four hours, and found the asus logo flashing on for a few seconds and then off, repeating over and over. Had to do a reset with power and vol down to get it to reboot. Seems OK for now except it really drained the battery.
I guess there will be a few ICS bugs to work out.

About the "No Sleep" widget, that was me. Well, this seems to be a widespread issue. Asus should take the update back and stop offering OTA...this is a pretty big issue.

Well asus is good about providing prompt follow up updates so I wouldn't be surprised if we start getting bugfix updates in the coming weeks.
Yea seems like the TF only goes crazy when it's in sleep/not being used.
Mine is not rooted so I don't really want to go through the trouble changing processor frequency.
Where is the reset hole btw?...

I thought it's the mic too... Does your voice record still work after you "reset" your TF?...
Edit: Saw the dreaded Asus loading screen again when I came back from dinner... 3rd time today... It's getting on my nerves a bit now. Such a pity that the TF is perfect besides this issue... I don't care if it reboots every hour or so, as long as it doesn't hang and depletes the battery.
Just to clarify, and so others don't break their microphone,THERE IS NO RESET HOLE! if your device is frozen, hold the power button to reset.
Are we certain its the deep sleep causing this?
Didn't happen to me this morning. I stopped using it around midnight and woke up fine the next day.

How do you it didn't happen? It doesn't get stuck at the ASUS logo for me, it simply reboots. Try leaving something open, like a browser window, turn off the screen and come back sometime later. If it's back to the homescreen and there are no recent apps, then it rebooted.
I don't know if it is the deep sleep that is causing it. All i know is that the bug is only triggered while sleeping. Every logcat i get stops at an AlarmManager event, before the reboot.

I received my Nexus 7 yesterday from google play. I played with it all night and everything was great. No manufacturing defaults that I can detect. I charged it up when I went to bed. I woke up this morning and played with it for about ten minutes and everything was cool. Now I'm at work and it starts rebooting every 20 seconds or so. I'm using Nova launcher so I enabled the default launcher. No good. I factory reset and its still boot looping. I was tethering to my phone so I disabled wifi. No change. Turned off GPS...no change. Can anyone think of anything else I can do? I really don't want to wait on hold with Google.
Thanks.

My Nexus 7 is on pre-order here in Australia, but I do have an Asus Transformer tab which reboots to no end.. I was kind of hoping the reboot issues wouldn't exist in the newer Asus-manufactured tabs .. this is not encouraging!
11 months after buying the TF101 and 3 RMAs and several OTA firmware updates and countless hard-resets, the random reboots are occurring.
My advice to you is bite the bullet and send it back ASAP and argue for a replacement. Don't think that you can just put up with it for a bit and wait for firmware updates, because trust me, it will drive u nuts!~
Yeah, I'm on hold now and have been for about an hour. I have to get this thing replaced as its useless. Its funny that if idle it is fine but as soon as I do anything it reboots. I was really looking forward to playing with it this weekend. I just hope they can ship a new one quickly.

I'm starting to have rebooting issues too. It's not as often but it is happening and is very random. Hopefully it's nothing with the hardware.
Restore stock ROM before to ensure rooting didn't introduce any issues before wasting anyone's time with RMA.

I wish mine was something that simple. I've only had mine for 4 days so far and haven't done any mods to it. I'm going to try a factory wipe though to see if that helps.
Order placed for RMA for the reboot issue. Its currently not even booting. Its just giving me the boot animation. Very odd especially since I didn't root it. Anyone know if it will ship next day?
