Isn't it pretty simple to find out which is a rogue app? What app did you install not from the market? Get lookout from the play store and run a scan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
The powers of adb can assist you in identifying rogue apps while the device sleeps plugged in to usb.

adb shell

top -m 5 -n 5

And you'll get the idea on the first read out. Run that command as often as you like.

good day.

Wipe the cache from gallery, downloads, and any other app (system) related to media or content and then reboot.

Mine was downloads, cleared the data and voila

Thread started to hopefully draw Asus' attention to one of the most annoying issues on the Prime, the "Browser not responding" error that seems to occur on almost any browser. I have turned flash to "on demand" which has helped a bit, but honestly, getting this message every 5-10 minutes is really annoying.

Sign on if you have this issue on your $500 Asus transformer prime too.:mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Adriaaaaan:
OMG this issue is sooo ANNOYING. I love my prime, but the constant pauses make me embarrased to show it to anyone. It looks a lot like hardware fault though, my galaxy s had the same issue and it was due to very slow flash writes(internal hardware, not adobe flash). It had an sd card soldered to the board for its internal memory and bascially any write would block the whole system for a second or two. It was fixed by some internal kernel changes and moving to ext4.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kdn102:
As noted in several other threads...there is a workaround.

In the browser, from the menu -> Settings -> Advanced -> Enable Plug-ins

Make sure it's set to "On demand"

Since changing this setting things for me have been pretty smooth.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
I didn't have to do the On demand for the Galaxy S2 as it was perfectly find with it plugs ins on all the time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lyvewire:
this is annoying..i try not to be whiner being nothing is perfect..but damn the browswer...workaround doesnt do anything either...i've tried all the other browsers and they're no better...hoping it gets fixed
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
It's sad that my HTC Thunderbolt, single core @ 1.4 ghz, can browse full desktop websites with flash enabled without slow down compared to TFP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
I have tried the 'workaround' and can confirm that is not a true workaround. While it does seem to slightly reduce the number of occurrences it does not eliminate the annoying popup altogether. The OP also stated that he has tried this. Who knows, maybe this is something that varies from one device to the next.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
Sometimes I wonder if its the bad i/o in combination with the Plus-1 of Nvidia's 4-Plus-1 that makes the browser tank. The slow i/o causes the Plus-1 to come into effect and the transfers slow even more due to reduce cpu speeds.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agzela:
Factory reset solved this issue for me....Browser would hang and get popup...after reset stock browser loads pages with no hangs. Use Titanium Backup data only!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShamelessMT:
This happens in a couple applications for me. The browser (doesn't matter which one I use) and Pulse both have this problem. Both constantly give me the "not responding - wait or close" message. This is either a wifi related issue or an overworked ninja core, I don't know which.

I have faith that Asus will fix this with software eventually - along with the "process.android.media has stopped." I just wish they'd get to it a bit faster.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
...this is most definitely not a workaround.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lyvewire:
This is good info. I was trying to hold out on rooting mine but if its gonna fix this browser issue I'm just about willing. I didnt get the part about using TB "only"..what does that mean ??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
A lot of the evidence shows that it's not a wifi or processor issue -- more likely a memory I/O issue with the writes/reads to memory.

It can happen on my apps without any internet use or wifi and it happens even when I overclock the CPU.

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

It means when restoring stuff after a hard reset, don't restore the entire app... reinstall the app as normal and then only restore data... the thinking is that a unclean install will reintroduce problems into the OS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Chiming in just to say

1. I get this error message, often

2. it has gotten worse with the last update

3. there is also a lot of lag in typing as well. Sometimes I can type a word before it shows up and then all of the sudden the browser catches up
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
I always did a factory reset after a firmware upgrade and manually redownloaded my apps from the play store. The unit was set not to restore any settings stored on google's servers.

Its as clean as it could be but the browser is what it is.

I am thinking of taking a big loss on the unit and switching to the Galaxy note 10.1 if those Exynos 4412 rumors come true.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cragains:
hmmm, this must be device specific, after resetting mine, wiping, and installing

I very rarely get browser lag with a good wifi connection
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mongoms:
"Browser not responding" is not my only issue with the browser. It's laggy when scrolling, and it also use very long time to load websites. Anyone else who has the same issues?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Factory reset cut it down for me but only after i changed plug in to "on demand" that it got rid of it. Maybe the combination of both did the trick.

Edit: placebo. Just happened again. Replicated by going to www.engadget.com full site and as its loading i tried scrolling a few times and the browser locked up. Got the wait pop up afterwards. This is plugin set to on demand.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Never ever once ever had any lag or browser not responding messages. You guys must be doing something wrong.

I'm on stock but rooted 9.4.2.21

btw try quick ics browser off the market. It's like stock on steroids.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] svladimir:
Have never had this issue with browser. Plenty of times with other apps though :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
I really hope too theyve fixed the lock ups. I cant believe this would be a hardware issue, we are living in the year 2012 and can they even make so slow memory anymore. :D I trust that if the Samsung managed to fix the SGS1 to work with the crappiest filesystem in the world, Asus can fix the Prime.

This device is really cool but the stupid lock ups really ruin the whole user experience.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
if this isnt fixed soon this will be my last asus product ever bought. asus tries to rush everything: first quad core tablet, first 4.0 upgrade etc. at the cost of quality..... 4.0 for tf101 is a complete mess, prime hardware is a mess (gps, wifi, loose screws) and of course these locking/slow io problems and random reboots constantly... and not to forget the lack of 'openness' warrenty voidance after unlocking WTF.....

and in the mean time asus is busy rushing new products on the market instead of supporting existing hardware...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effingnewguy:
I'm posting on my Evo, my ragged out year and a half old Evo that seems to outperform my TFP. I've tried all the "fixes" and it's still disappointing. My girlfriend wanted to show me a video last night and after a couple lockups, pulled her IPhone out and watched it while I rebooted. I'm complaining I know but 6 months in and my TFB is a GD joke.

/venting
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
Hey! I've seen you use Gummy rom, so there's something I'm curious about: are custom roms have the same issues as the Asus firmwares? Do you still have browser lock ups for example?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effingnewguy:
I've tried most of them and I've still had the same issues in regards to browsers hangups, random restarts (not frequent) and just overall slow performance. I'm not nearly the computer mind as some here but it really just seems like the TFP is a steaming pile of aluminum-covered ****. I keep holding out unloading mine for the update of all updates that fixes everything. But as the poster said a couple pages ago, it's actually embarrassing to show your tablet to someone and you can't even load a simple webpage or a Youtube video.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Guys, it has already been stated numerous times that the browser hanging issues is well known and that the new firmware will address it. I guess you can say its a *communication issue* as each browser performs differently. The new update has addressed this issue with some priority/code changes. once it is released to the public, let's see how it works. But in the meantime, this problem will persist, it may be less of an issue with some browsers, but the problem is still there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
TF300 just get .26 and .29 in the past 10 days. Reading some posts on their firmware but doesn't seem conclusive if things are fixed though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
That's just it though, they only seem to be addressing it as a browser problem. So they'll only be fixing browsers? I suppose we'll see once the update is finally live, but I'm willing to bet we're still going to see the problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Hey, no, the browser issue is not the only issue being addressed. The game crashes, slow i/o speeds(top of list hopefully) and other bugs/enhancements. It should be released this week, hopefully no later than Friday, unless another bug is found within the beta.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hkmystique:
that's right, like a quad-core PC with a IDE-33 harddisk
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] s1lenz:
they have that... its called a galaxy tab...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Good, that's been my only concern. If we can get those I/O speeds worked out then the Prime will be good.

Really though, as it is, it takes my Prime as long as my Playstation to d/l and install games lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
lol I agree! Whoever was responsible for quality check really messed up on that! But for all concerned, it is not hardware-related at all, it's just the way the Prime was set up to prioritize certain functions, which was done ass-backwards :). The code has been re-written and everything should work much smoother(emphasis on should) :)

hence the long wait on the new firmware, everything has to be checked and make sure to perform properly before it gets released. You don't want to fix one thing and cause another issue
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vvveith:
I thought that was the norm!

Actually, their past record dictates that their fix has always caused some unrelated or previously unknown issues. They have been dicking around with this ICS build for a long enough time that most things should be working as expected by now. And also the version of ICS should of been updated. Every mobile device I own now as been updated to ICS and all of them work as expected and in the majority of them even better than when first purchased. Let's wake up to the fact that everything dealing with support and with fixes as been sub-par and there is a general feeling of a lack of courtesy and support for this landmark device that was priced as high as most of Apples devices. That being said, the promise, one Representative made months ago have still not materialized. And when the next update finally comes, I give fair warning that that will be a sign of the continuing lack of support we will be able to expect. I hope perhaps I will have to eat these words and issue forth a congrats if I'm proven wrong, but my instincts tell me not to expect much regarding this tablet model and ASUS in the way of change and innovation. Peace, V :eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
I have never, ever owned a device that has completely resolved all issues without bringing new ones, and that includes the Ipad. Asus is not providing sub-par help, people have to understand that these fixes take time, and don't just happen as quickly as you want. I am far from a fanboy, but I have owned PLENTY of Android devices and have not experienced customer feedback as much as Asus, so I will not jump n the *I hate Asus bandwagon* Samsung, for instance has a record of taking forever to resolve their device issues, not to mention abandoning support after a few months of release. Asus DOES not have to have support on these forums, whether they said they would or not. And in all honesty, after reading some of the post here (5 RMA's, supbar performance) If I were them i would just follow other companies practice and just not inform once an update is released, and leave the bickering to each respective forum.

While not the fastest device at it s current state, to say that its unusable or has subpar performance is juts laughable, XDA really has changed form the time that I joined the site, and I applaud the mods who have been deleting repeat post or duplicate threads on the same issue. I had a Samsung Vibrant, and boy was the experience bad..slow device, slow updates and NO responses from Samsung.

Bottom line is, if people don't want to buy from Asus again, that's their choice, but how many post/threads do we need on the same subject? Asus is aware and are working on the Prime issues, some can be fixed(browser, i/o, game issues etc) while others are unfortunately a product of bad design FOR SOME (weak wifi, Bluetooth issues) These things unfortunately happen, it's the nature of the business. You can either chose to live with it, or immediately request a refund.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeejee:
How can you be so sure the slow i/o is not a hardware issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boakesm:
Well said this forum really is turning into a major bore. .every thread deterioating into winging and negativity. If you came here for simple advice you really would struggle to sift thru all the rubbish.

Why not wait for the upgrade and then make a call..if you still not happy get your refund and go else where and buy the 2nd or 3rd best tablet running gingerbread and we many other issues...see their forums.

If you want the top of the range bleeding edge stay where you are and feedback your issues constructively and clearly...unlike other companies Asus are here and listening and from what I have seen in last 3 months offering solutions...GPS Dongle...several firmwares release..ics..and if you want it a refund....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeejee:
Sadly refund and/or GPS dongle are not available in every region/country.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Its just the way the Prime was programmed to prioritize cpu usage. Certain apps require more cpu then others, like lets say downloading a large app from the market. The Prime may issue 75% of its cpu to that task, which is good if you are ONLY using the market, but if you have other things running in the background, that remaining 25% will be bogged down and slow the Prime to a crawl. This is a programming fault, not a hardware one. The CPU in tegra can easily handle multitasking (see other tegra 3 based devices). The new Firmware should address how the Prime handles thread priorities, thus making the Prime run a lot smoother when downloading something etc. This doesn't mean that you can have 100 things running in the background once updated, but you should get the point. :)

Let's hope that the new firmware does indeed fix this and other issues though, mainly the game crashing bug which appears to be Nvidia Kernal related (memory leak/core related).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boakesm:
Who says refund not available have you escalated..threatened legal action...emailed Asus CEO of region....etc

Dongle available to all regions where GPS marketed...seems fair to me ..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ilostmypistons:
Any device with a Tegra3 have smooth browsing? I didnt realize how bad TFP browsing is until I bought my wife a $250 Gtab2 7" for Mothers day. The Gtab runs circles around my Prime when browsing. Doesn't matter what browser it is either :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Let me just say that people have a right to complain, when you buy something you expect it to work, thats not the issue. The issue is when you see the same members complain about the same thing over and over again, when you have 100 pages of the same complaints. If a company has already acknowledged the issue and has stated it is working on a fix, do we really need another 200 post of complaints? Some of those that complain dont even own Primes anymore, yet they come here to add fire to the flames. I've seen people make 20 posts complaining why Asus didn't chose them to be a beta tester, but instead chose another forum member...really, its pathetic.

If people dont like the speed in which Asus is working in fixing their issues, then they would just die in the other forums! E.g The original Samsung Galaxy tab is still running Honeycomb, my wife has one..Samsung came out with a "new" galaxy with the main difference being sd card support and ICS, where the original Samsung tab could easily run ICS...Go check out their forums and see how many of them are upset...did Samsung reply to them, hell no!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GolfOX:
Waiting

I waited a long time for my Thunderbolt to finally be what it was supposed to be. I hope it doesn't take much longer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
LOL.. that's my point..Don't even get me started on that phone...geez :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
Somebody here correct me if I am totally off with this reasoning but check the IO speed via quadrant standard and tell me if it ranks lower than other devices running ICS. The IO is up to snuff. Just as using opera browser with no force waits proves it can be done so too does the IO score in Quadrant .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
good point. prime actually ranks up there pretty well. leading it more to believe some issue software wise.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jrkart99:
I really don't care wtf it is, software or hardware. what I care about are all these force closes, and stupid glitches on my tablet. in the 6 months I have had my prime, the performance had gone to ****. hang ups, freezes, can barely surf the net. the experiences has degraded so much that if this next update doesn't improve the performance, this thing its going on ebay.

my f'n sgs2 runs circles around this tablet. I'm getting impatient. I can't even geta goddamn keyboard to function correctly on this thing. very unhappy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ilostmypistons:
Im betting on Tegra3 being the culprit
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
A large number of the issues reported (slow i/o, browser app hangs) indicate an OS scheduler problem (and from the sound of things, it appears ASUS will be delivering an improved scheduler in the next update - awesome.)

Many people have commented that their "other device" performs better than the Prime, and say that it doesn't make sense because of the Prime's quad-cores.

But again, that all points to the scheduler. If you don't have a scheduler that works properly with more cores, you can run into problems like a lot of locked states and end up with worse performance than a device with less cores until it gets fixed.

GUYS - software doesn't just magically adapt to utilized more cores, the OS has to delegate it, and as the hardware becomes more complex, this task gets more complex as well.

So, this is all part of being the first to do something... obviously HC and ICS weren't optimized for quda-cores, and the Prime was the first to uncover this.

As MRCANNADY has stated, this is all part of jumping on the new technology bandwagon... If you don't like the growing pains that come with a company trying to break new ground, you should hold back and wait for second generation devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] julien.me:
Mine too, so much that it went back for refund .... then I might be able to buy a proper tablet (Samsung?)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] randalltroy:
you dont think 6 months is long enough to implement a fix.Especially if its a software issue.6 months is a eternity in the tech world.Asus is a better company than what they are showing with the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vallhall:
Could i add autobrightness, reboots and youtube stutter
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
not really,

the topic is browser.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
By no means am I defending them. Given a good portion of their userbase has been unhappy sincee launch for one reason or another, I think they should have thrown way more developer resources at the problem. Upper management at Asus should have jumped on it for sure.

I was just saying that a lot of the issues seem like scheduler problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jrkart99:
I think is more than a browser issue. there is some definite processing issues at hand. I have started seeing more wait close issues in apps now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wernerzero:
I'm on the same page with you here about this issue. I've tried all the major browsers and they all suffer from it. Plus it also shows in how it handles pdfs and a few other similar tasks.

It is very laggy and slow for such a powerful tablet.

Compared to my phone, Xperia S that's still on Gingerbread and uses only a 1Mb HSDPA vs 40Mb WiFi on Prime, that is extremely fast and fluid when browsing etc. (Hopefully ICS won't crap that up...)

Really disappointed with the Prime at this stage. I thought I could replace my laptop when web-browsing, reading ebooks, faceboking etc. but that is not possible..:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] budtz:
However true that is I still think there is a somewhat of a discrepancy, to put it mildly, between the rave reviews from 6 months ago and the performance of the device i have. Bad process handling can't explain that. (unless they lost the code of course.....)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indie13:
Asus come on and drop the update already as I'm about to smash this thing against the nearest wall........ AAAAHHHHHHHH.

It is impossible to surf the web on this thing without it constantly reminding you its part of the process. Its like an attention starved child jumping up and down screaming look at me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
People at the SGS3/One X forums are talking that the Tegra 3 is crap because of under sized memory bandwidth which is causing problems when multitasking. Has there been any more thorough investigation about the issue here? I still think it is more of a Nvidia/Asus driver problem than actual hardware problem because Opera Mobile does not have this problem. Has anyone tried the new Firefox Beta 14, it is really lightweight and smooth on my crappy Huawei? I cannot try it at the moment because the Prime is on a trip with my girlfriend.

edit.

I just read some articles about the Tegra 3.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] randalltroy:
While, my issues aren't quite that extreme, just recently i have started having reboots, and other random problems, by random i mean, sporadic and no discernable pattern. I agree with a probable scheduler problem, but , it feels like more than that, like a scheduler problem and a bad memory leak, thrown in for good measure, then add in some poor driver level optimization or driver implementation, thrown in just for fun.All of this is fixable
