[Eee Pad Transformer General] Starlust:
Hi there...I was directed here from the transformerforums.com to ask about this issue. I have a B50-vintage TF101 with keyboard dock. Since the 2nd ICS update, my Transformer has developed the annoying habit of the screen randomly popping on for no reason. I know on that other site there were users seeing this happen, but I tried my best to search here and didn't see it in the search (at least not for the Transformer).

So, I did some playing around and noticed a few things. The annoying "screen coming on for no reason" issue happens only when the tablet is docked in the keyboard. The screen will come on for 10 seconds and then go off again (my default screen timeout is 5 minutes). It is almost as though some kind of notification is coming in, waking up the tablet for a moment.

I believe the issue is the "Charged" notification. I did the following experiment several times: I undocked the tablet, allowed it to discharge to about 95%. Then I plugged it back into the keyboard dock, and waited. The tablet goes into "charging" mode (with the little bolt icon on the battery). If I hit the lock button and wait, the screen goes off and stays off..it does not randomly pop back on again. Not until "Charged" has been hit. After that, the screen randomly comes on again as before.

Further, I noticed that whenever it comes on, it activates WiFi as well. I have my WiFi set to only come on when I am using the tablet. This explains the tablet waking me up in the middle of the night with new email notifications.

Not sure if this helps any...it seems reproducable to me, and definitely a regression (especially from Honeycomb).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rikou_demon:
I have the same issue, but it's not because of the charge notification. I don't charge it while using it, so when I'm doing something and using my docked tablet on the side for research and neglect it for a while, I notice it'll turn on by itself. This happens pretty consistently, so I don't have to do any weird combination of activities to produce it.

Listen to music?

Chat using Google Talk?

Browse the web?

All of them produce the same effect if I let it sleep. I have wifi set to always on but the transformer docked. I'll try keeping it undocked to see if it happens.

In every instance I didn't have it plugged in.

This is among a few other issues I have that I hope is resolved with the representative allowing us to log our devices so they can replicate the problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HermitTurtle:
I'm having the same problem: link
[Eee Pad Transformer General] No_u:
Just a thought; have you got WiFi on?

Mine does this too sometimes, doesn't really bother me because it turns off by itself at the lockscreen and when closed it should also. No negative effect on battery life, it does as expected.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rikou_demon:
Hah, this is funny. I wanted to check if the screen wake-ups would occur without the dock, so after a while, I realized I didn't notice the screen turning on at all. Just as I was about to check, the Asus logo popped up, so my tablet rebooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PeQuEsan:
Same issue here after second ICS update (17) (also reboots but this is not the thread)

bye!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Starlust:
Very interesting...on the other forum, someone else confirmed the same behaviour, but it only seems to happen with certain models (B50, B70, B80...but NOT B90).

Quite annoying...I'm a bit concerned this continual on/off cycle is going to damage the backlight. I have my WiFi set to only come on when the screen comes on, so the random screen-on issue keeps activating the WiFi as well.

On my B50 I can make the problem "go away" for a while if I discharge my tablet to about 95%, and then re-dock in the keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Oyeve:
Ya know, since the second ICS update my TF101 has rebooted by itself twice. Both time while I was not at home and both times it appeared to freeze at the Asus boot screen forcing me to have to hold down the power button and force a reboot. Also, more distressing, when the system locks hard it gets REAL hot. The first time it happened I had it on my bed under a pillow and felt the heat. Scared me. I now leave it on the table when not in use. I dont want it blowing up. I hope Asus fixes this as I am sure the extreme heat cant be good for it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] andy905:
Mine does it too along with random reboots and wont wake after a long deep sleep of 3 to 4 hours
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Starlust:
I've had the "really hot" thing happen to me once as well. And recently I noticed the back of the tablet, right near the SD slot, the casing has bulged out a small amount (however I don't know if it's always been that way and I only just noticed it)...I hope that's not where the battery is located.

I haven't had a random crash on my B50 since I disabled the Asus Quick Setting. It's been stable all week in that sense, but I doubt my experience will match anyone else.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rikou_demon:
The same thing happens to mine, except I haven't noticed the overheating (thankfully). The reboot-->freeze at logo happened again today while listening to music. I'm hoping I hear from Gary and get that logging program so they can fix it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Deleted member 2879886:
Mine did that a live wallpaper once I installed a regular wallpaper it stopped :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HermitTurtle:
I tried that just now; set a static wallpaper instead of my live one. Didn't make a difference...

Edit:

I ran a test with and without the dock now as well. I can confirm the issue only occurs when the TF is docked.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] treo4life:
I can confirm it does it regularly with out the dock as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FabMaurice:
i believe the screen comes alive each time the tablet charges to 100%, whether docked (with and without usb charging taking place, but dock battery is >100%, ie. not flat out yet), or when usb connected to charger or pc. it seems that the product is designed that when the tab is docked, the battery on the dock will transfer charges to the tab until the dock is flat out. once flat out and no usb charging taking place, the tab doesnt get charged and will not hit 100% again.

i dont think the screen comes alive when the tablet is docked and closed instead of opened position.

after 2weeks on ics, experienced 1 time screen freezes in boot up ASUS logo. and the back is hotter than normal.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Detection*:
I've turned my TF101 off permanently until the next update is released in fear that this constant crash and freeze and battery drain is doing some physical damage to the batteries / hardware

Its basically unusable anyway
[Eee Pad Transformer General] triumph_st:
Ditto

Unusable after ICS update :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Starlust:
This is my concern as well. There's something funny going on with the charging and I'd hate to think the batteries are getting damaged. I'm not at the point of turning my tablet off but I will say...it's getting quite annoying!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Droid_Junky:
I got my keyboard Thursday and witnessed this problem until Sunday. It would occur almost every few minutes. Sunday morning I installed Codename Android ROM and have been constantly watching my screen ever since. It has not turned on once by itself. Dock battery is fully drained now and tab is just now dropping below 100%. Will post if status changes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hotdiggitydog:
happening to me as well... When Docked.

I even have tried setting the screen timeout to 15 seconds, and cannot get it to stay off.

However, if the tablet is docked and closed... it seems to stay off. Unless it turns on with the Random Reboot scenario.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thiesen:
Count me in on this one.

I discovered this when I left the pad in the open position while in the dock without the charger plugged in.

If I remember correctly it was like this even under HC but back then I thought it was kind of notification system that kicked in to so that the pad could sync and what not.

The waking of the screen seems to be pretty regular too... I haven't timed it though but I would say some 1 1/2 - 2 hours from the moment I press the powerbutton till the screen wakes up the next time.

I know by checking CPUSpy that while the screen is active the CPU is ticking along at 216MHz but the pad gets quite warm... that's odd...

My TF is a B60KA* one...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Starlust:
Ok the screen on/off thing is starting to really irritate me...I did an experiment as a "work around" and I was wondering if anyone having this problem (and a dock) can confirm.

I'm trying to see if the random screen on thing happens while the dock is closed. So far, if I close the dock (and keep it open just a crack so I can see the screen), I do not see the screen blinking on at random. Could this be a "work around" until Asus actually fixes it?

I was wondering if anyone else could try this and confirm...it could just be a case of "a watched pot never boils" here..I don't see it coming on when closed, but I'd love it if someone else could confirm. I can't believe that this constant screen coming on/going off is going to be good for the backlight.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thiesen:
Some additions to my earlier post:

Yesterday I had my TF so that I could check up on it while I used my stationary computer and the TF was in the keyboard dock all the time in the open position. I earlier stated that it was 1 1/2 - 2 hours between the waking of the screen... I was wrong... it's more like 5-10 minutes in between...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
For what it's worth, it seems that this bug appeared in the last ICS OTA. If you revert back to the original lCS release, this is no longer a problem.

Since the OTA patch only seemed to fix the battery stats for me (still had random reboots), I actually prefer the older version at this point...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Starlust:
Yes, that's what I thought...I didn't see this happening with Honeycomb or the original ICS. And 5-10 minutes between blinks...that's what I'm seeing as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dtfamily:
Having the same problem as others:

- rebooting randomly (not very often though). One time the tablet was hot, rest of the time it hasn't been hot, but does drain the battery.

- will turn on numerous times when in dock. I've noticed if I turn off wifi it doesn't appear to turn on though, from what I can tell. For sure at least not as often, but I don't think it's turning on at all if the wifi is off.

You said the original ICS update works well. Forgive my ignorance, but without rooting, is it possible to downgrade to that original ICS version?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ronin412:
Hi, I might have some information that might help some of you.

After ICS my TF101 would randomly reboot (sometimes crashing) and also startup on it's own, either on dock or not. I have tried every non root suggestion I can find to sort it out all coming to nothing (the longest I have gone without crashing is 2 days).

I have however stopped the random startup's... Not ideally by any stretch of the imagination!! As part of trying to fix my TF I did a factory wipe, only installing the apps which came with the TF. I am still getting the crashes but not the restarts. After a while I decided if it was going to crash anyway I might as well just install my apps from the market, the first was HD widgets. Within 10 minutes the restarts started up again even though I was in airplane mode (I was watching the screen to see if anything happened).

So I'm guessing it was something to do with this and/or similar apps. But be warned, I uninstalled it and the wake ups stayed until I wiped it again.

So now my TF is turned off and being used as a £400 pound paper weight, really hope ASUS fix this soon.

Sorry it was a bit long winded, I hope it made sense and maybe gives someone cleverer then me (which isn't hard) some indication.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] corrybruce:
Anyone getting a light blue screen? Tried taking a screen shot but what it captures is not what you see on the screen. A reboot fixes it, but already enough random reboots without having to do it myself. Is a B50 attached too... the blue screen doesn't affect the use, just looks like blue is saturated, no photo editing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boonkui:
This seems to be the easiest workaround for now. I automate turning off of WiFi upon screen off. It worked so far.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonraus:
Hello there,

I am looking for some help solving this problem:

When I have the darkforest rom 3.0.5 for CDMA flashed, the android media process force closes like no other. This prevents me from downloading ANYTHING and I am getting really frustratsed with this.

If you don't know how to fix it, then just tell me what custom rom you use so I can find an alternative.

SPECS:

R800x

2.3.3 Stock rom

Doomkernel

Thanks,

Mason

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Selim873:
The same happened when I used to use this, but I somehow fixed it, have no idea how. I really wanted to use this ROM again and I realized that I'm back at the FC's. I had to revive this because formatting /data/ didn't fix it.

EDIT: GOT IT! Okay, here's exactly what I did to fix it! Make sure it's installed already, if you have the force closing problem, go back into recovery, and do a factory reset on it, then in the ROM's installer, uncheck EVERYTHING except "format /data/," After rebooting, everything should be just fine! :)

Thanks Sup3r

Question though, wont the Stock 4.0.4 yakju img (https://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html) include Arabic originally in it ???

it would be easier for me to flash directly to it instead of flashing 4.0.2 then wait for the update

Ok i updated it, working nicely so far, Thank u soo much buddy

my question still in effect though :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sup3r:
i think there is no arabic language into this images !! too bad for us

but i'll soon update it with the arabic language

by the way can you flash my rom then lock your bootloader and try to ota

i tried that but my GN was unlocked so it fails then i relock my phone

but no updates already there for me it says my system is up to date

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sup3r:
i try to update now but it stop so it not ota update-able

anyway i'll make new stock 4.0.4 arabic again

u have to wait for that :)

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomerxx:
Ok some weird stuff just happened

first thing, i found 2 apps included in the software. fast boot & busy box....

how did it get installed ? i thought the ROM was a stock version !!!!

2nd thing 2 apps were installed directly from the market, those 2 apps i tried to install before on my P1000 but it got interrupted N didnt get installed before

3rd, i got a update notification..... so i downloaded it & installed it but when i rechecked the version again it was 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomerxx:
i have downloaded & installed the stock 4.0.4

am ok with it since it supports reading & writing Arabic

thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sup3r:
i am so sorry about that i think i made a mistake about busybox and fastboot i really dont remmber what was the worng exactly i'll be careful in the next version

of course there are some thing wrong in this version i'll try to fix this problem asap to be ota updateble

thank you very much for this feedback

best regards
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sup3r:
By the way how is the signal with you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomerxx:
by signal u meant Wi-Fi or the GSM\3G signal ?

either way both are ok for me here no problems
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] House M.D.:
Sorry to tell you that, but the new ICS has Arabic language in it by way of default.

Update:

what I understand from the link that you have attached is that rom has full arabic interface, not just a language support.

about this, I have no clue.

anyways, good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sup3r:
i have problem after updating or clean install stock 4.0.4

when i turn off the screen i lose the signal and too many ppl have this problem

i have a white GN from UK what about yours ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sup3r:

I am finding that the display timeout changes on it's own from 2 minutes to 15 seconds. What could be causing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kaishi00:
widgetlocker?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sbddude:
I am using widget locker. I turned on RootHelper, maybe that will keep the lockscreen timeout seperate from the regular timeout.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesd86:
Also power saver changes it too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tim M.:
I agree with James. I noticed the phone's per saver doing this. It annoyed me so I turned it off and noticed my battery lasted longer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
As I surprisingly found out with my old HTC EVO 3D, there are actually TWO different settings options on the Galaxy Note, which control how long the screen stays on. One setting can be set to 1 minute and the other can simultaneously be set to 30 seconds, without overriding your previous setting. The result is that the lowest setting will always be used. I have no idea why this redundant and counterintuitive feature has been built into Android phones. I am not in front of my phone right now to tell you where to get into your settings to make sure BOTH are set to the same time, but once you do it, your problem should be solved. This was happening to me, too, when I first got my Note. It's no longer happening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
One is (obviously) under Display > Screen time-out.

Found another under Power Saving > Custom power saving settings (after turning on Custom power saving). I could see if you had "Power saving on at" set to its highest setting (50%), then that would override the one under Display very often.

Finished looking around, that's all I see.
