No, It's Asus fault for not making a pop up as part of the upgrade on the device "cold boot before installing this upgrade" Not all of us go to the Asus site every damn day looking for posts from them! If your device says "upgrade available" most people just hit the "upgrade now" button.

Except for reading the need for a cold boot on a forum, it doesn't seem like the average user would even think of it, let alone know what the heck it even is. That being said, it seemed to really help the performance-especially the gmail app disaster...at least for now

Gimme a break. What about the 99% who don't visit these or other forums...I kinda feel sorry for them as the cold reboot does help
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Besides - the REAL issues is that Asus said to do the cold boot AFTER the update (right here on XDA as a matter of fact). Then they changed it and said to do the cold boot BEFORE the update! They don't even know how to do it properly!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikou_demon:
Thankfully, I haven't experienced any SOD or RR since the .24 update. I'm back on stock: flashed .17, rooted then upgraded to .21, then .24 and used VOTA root keeper.

Haven't had any issues with gmail either, but that was never a problem for me. Did a cold reboot after the upgrade. Didn't have to factory reset because it was pretty much a blank state anyway but still did it.

Let's hope this works out. I still might go to AOKP though. I was fully stock up until ICS forced me to go custom, and now I kinda miss those awesome features. I'll keep testing stock to see how it goes, but stable, thankfully.

That said, what's with people attacking others for not hanging on Asus' nutsack facebook page? Are you honestly expecting that when I buy a product that pushes an update automatically, that I should always check every single online resource available and read about it before I select the "install" button?

Doesn't really instill confidence in the consumer if I have to even second-guess the capability of the manufacturer of my device. I bought this device for productivity reasons, but if my productivity is spent on getting this thing to just work properly, I'm not being very productive, am I?

That said, I was extremely happy with my device prior to ICS, and if Asus can fix these issues, I'll be happy again. Happy enough, in fact, that even with the ICS debacle, I replaced my cracked Gorilla Glass B6 TF101 (but still functions) with another 32GB TF101. I just can't imagine what some average non-techie consumer is going through.

I'm glad Asus is so on-top of the updates, and if they polish this process up, they could easily compete with iPad in the long run, but big problems like these are really holding them back. I'd LOVE to see Asus (or Samsung) really innovate in the Android space, so it's disheartening to see them go through these issues when they're actually really promising.

Plus, Gary's instructions as of today still say to cold boot after installing, and says nothing about before.

So far, so good...

40 Hour uptime here so far and not one RR or SOD yet. I would of had 2 or 3 by now on the last build.....hoping it lasts....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpjets62:
So far, so good. No negative effects from the update. Over 50 hrs so far but most of my RR's were generally between 100 - 150 hrs of uptime so I have a couple of days to go before I can comment either way. One definite improvement, the tablet is snappier.

The same way you would do it without it installed. Volume Down + Power then let it do its thing.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Sorry, you have a problem with an update you look for a solution which they posted. If you have no problems why would you cold boot? Just making more update steps that the average consumer doesn't need/want.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batjuh:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Before congratulating Asus, you might want to give it or a week or two... Although some seem to have experienced the RR/SOD issues right away with .24, I have a feeling that most won't see them that fast. I personally, went for almost a week before they "came back" (was a beta tester), but once they did, I couldn't get 24 hours uptime again!

The problem with saying that things are fixed so quickly is that Asus then believes that the issues are fixed, when they really aren't... Then they will say (for example) "85% of the users say there are no problems", etc, etc.....

I truly hope that the issues are fixed for you, but I think it's a little early to claim success!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aptmx:
I find it interesting that the update seems to have solved the RR/SOD issue for most people but a few are still experiencing it?

People say to give it time, or to wait a week but this update seems to really have finally done the trick...at least for me. I have only owned the tablet with ICS and what a difference this particular update has made.

You would think it would either work or not work....is it possible this worked for certain TF101's? Are there variations between TF101's that I am not aware of?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:

Would like to see a move to 4.0.4, as on my Xperia Arc S, the difference is immense, serious performance improvements.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsight73:
What's the significant doing cold boot before update? Everything would still be the old .21 thingkies.. The logical would be cold boot right after the .24 update finished and this giving those new files riside and detected properly and arranged sequently..

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyf79:
Tend to agree that its odd that the update cures some but not all. My thinking is that it was a hardware compatibility issue. Its like overclocking, some can be ramped right up to the Max, where as others are limited.

Baffled.:confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Personally, I think that the RR/SOD issues are still there for everyone - it's just that everyone uses their TF's differently, so their usage patterns are different, which could explain why some people see the problem quickly and others don't see it for a week or longer.

Also, just because your device would always experience RR/SOD issues within xx days on .21, does *not* mean that if you get past xx days on .24, that the problem is solved. It's very possible that Asus found and corrected an issue that fixes *one* of the causes of the RR/SOD issues - remember, there could be multiple causes of the RR/SOD issues.

As a perfect example, if a user turns off their TF every night (actually powering it off) and/or keeps it connected to AC power 99% of the time, it greatly reduces the chances of them seeing a RR/SOD to begin with, since the issues seem to be related to deep sleep (which does not occur when connected to AC power)...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rytkonen:
I've been told that the Browser hang problem present on Transformer Prime is bothering all ICS devices.

Does the ICS powered OG Transformer hang when loading pages with default web browser? In Prime the browser gets stuck at loading something for 1-10 seconds and during that freezing you cannot scroll the page. If you try to scroll the "Browser has stopped. Close/Wait" dialog pops up. When you press Wait it will continue normally.

So, does this appear on OG Transformer? It does not appear on any of my other ICS devices (Ideos X5, SGS2).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
I have not noticed that issue with my TF101 (running on .24)...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgilmorean:
The previous ICS updates (.17, .21) were pretty much awful in terms of stability for me. RR (both the type that would complete and the one that would hang on the Asus logo), SOD, Gmail and Maps crashing, and screen tearing.

So far, none of those problems have reemerged. I am using Bootlog Uptime and it says there haven't been any stealth reboots since I updated three days ago. I haven't had cause to reboot the machine either so this is the longest continuous uptime I've had since the initial ICS update.

I bought the TF when it first came out and it seemed like every other time I put it to sleep, it wouldn't wake up. Even the worst of ICS was nowhere near that bad.

I haven't turned off my tablet for the 80+ hours since I applied the .24 upgrade. Left docked about half the time, 10+ hours of usage, still have full battery on tablet though dock batt is finally empty.

NO problems, RR's SoD's - nothing bad has happened. In fact, everything is just working the way it should and the battery life seems better than ever.

.24 is a major success for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Just be careful you don't get too used to it - that is EXACTLY what I thought when beta testing .24 (even told Gary that it looked like the problems were solved at one point!) - then it all came crashing down after about 5 days of uptime and/or installed a bunch of apps (not sure which triggered the "switch of evil" - the uptime, deep-sleep time or the number of apps/type of apps installed).

But, the point is that after about 5 days of no RR/SOD issues, I started getting RR's on a routine basis again. Another beta tester (@rxnelson) didn't start experiencing SOD issues until 10 days or day (not sure exactly how many days, but it was more than 5).

Just don't count your chickens before they hatch! :-)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Most don't agree with me about this, but I personally feel that the issues remaining in .24 are related more to the apps that you have installed than anything else. I didn't have any issues until I thought things were fixed and then went back to installing whatever I wanted (before that I was being "cautious").

I don't know if has to do with the number of apps installed or apps coded in a certain way, but after I started "not worrying" about what I installed anymore, that is when I started to see the issues (again, it happened after 5 days of uptime, so I can't say for sure if it was the uptime, the apps I installed or a combination of both).

I have a feeling that Asus did fix some of the RR issues, but there are still some issues that remain. If it does turn out to be related to which apps are installed, it would still come down to an issue in the OS though, as an app should not be able to cause random reboots on it's own...

Time will tell, I guess!

There is only one way for you - clear everything and start slowly over, until you catch beast that is giving you trouble. My problems ended when I disabled auto sync for Asus Weather. And as long I don't start Gmail through notification bar, it does not crash. It is workaround, but it works for me.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssl123:
It's hard to say. I usually don't get random reboots or sleep of death. What I do get, which started happening more frequently since .21 and which I just got again earlier today on .24, are the ASUS e-mail/Gmail/Google apps blackscreens. While the tablet does not tend to reboot itself, these app blackscreens force me to manually reboot the tablet to get those apps to stop blackscreening or crashing. To answer your question, I went 300 hrs uptime a couple of times with .17, being careful to avoid the e-mail blackscreens. Those same attempts at avoiding blackscreens did not work quite as well on .21, so I had to manually reboot more frequently. On .24, I had about 4 days uptime before I had to manually reboot because of e-mail and Google app blackscreens.

I upgraded on Saturday morning and so far no issues. I did seem random crashes with .21 but only after several days.

I have mixed feelings as to whether it is an app that is at fault, or general poor memory management. For example with .21 after it had been running fine for 4 days I switched on wifi direct to connect to my phone and bang, down it went. Did a reboot and wifi direct worked fine.

Calling .24 a win (for me)

As of right now I have 123 hours straight of uptime, all on the battery. That's 5 days with NO problems of any kind. I updated on the 15th after fully charging both tablet and dock. I did the cold boot recommended by Asus and then, after the update, turned on all the stuff I was avoiding because of instability. I had been getting regular reboots and icons disappearing plus an occasional SoD with .21.

On this one charge I have 16.5 hours of use and there's still 37% battery left. I'm already thinking about how much I'm going to enjoy having a tablet that works. One where I don't have "issues" on my mind while I'm using it.

Put it this way, it can't hurt to do a cold reboot, just don't select 'wipe data' by mistake.
