[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
I didn't say I never had any issues, I said I have never had issues of even remotely close to the magnitude that I have with stock, unrooted Android within just a matter of days of a complete wipe and reinstall of a handful of programs.

Even Windows Vista was nowhere near as bad as the TF101 with ICS.

And I had no such problems with Honeycomb on the exact same tablet, with much the same apps. Never saw a single sleep of death with that combination. That says it *is* the Asus ICS ROM, not the hardware.

I shouldn't have to jump through hoops trying to fix the problems. I had a working tablet. Asus broke it. Asus need to pull their fingers out and fix or, or just PROVIDE AN OFFICIAL ROLLBACK (and extend my warranty for the three months I've lost to this BS.) That's all I ask, and given the inconvenience they've caused me, I am not asking much at all.

But you know what? I finally gave up in frustration yesterday and tried a new kernel (most recent Guevor for Megatron) and ROM (current Megatron).

I managed less than three hours before my first Sleep of Death, with only a handful of Google apps and literally 4 or 5 other apps installed.

End-users shouldn't be expected to fix Asus' problems with them. As I have just accidentally demonstrated, it is far too time-consuming a process trying to find a stable combination of third party kernel and ROM, for an end-user.

Great. Get Asus to switch off the forced update to ICS so I don't have to play silly buggers avoiding it, and make it so I can downgrade to Honeycomb without voiding my warranty.

That's the main thing I've been asking for, for months. A regression is the bare minimum of effort Asus should have made, and they couldn't even be bothered with that.

I would even have accepted one that required a wipe as part of the process.

My expectations are not high. Give me a rollback, or a tablet that can manage a week between reboots, and say six months before it gets so corrupted it has to be wiped.

As-is, I would estimate my average time between random reboots is 24 hours or worse, and about 6-8 weeks at most before the tablet is so unstable it needs to be wiped.

I am so tired of refuting this one. Everything worked absolutely perfectly on Honeycomb. Never saw a single Sleep of Death, had maybe two random reboots in six months.

Others have confirmed that going back to HC with an HC kernel fixes the issue, and that going back to HC with an ICS kernel retains the issue.

The issue is 100% down to Asus, and the ICS kernel they are using. It is not hardware.

Oh, believe me, I will. I have a very long memory, as LG can tell you. (Haven't bought a product of theirs since 1998, after I bought the LG Phenom Ultra handheld PC, and discovered that it was physically impossible to achieve the claimed battery life, even with the device completely idle and saving power in every possible way.)

I am also a technology influencer for quite a few other people, and I will go out of my way to tell them not to use Asus until this problem is fixed.

I have a product that meets my expectations: my HTC One X smartphone. It is infinitely more stable than my Transformer has ever been since ICS came out for the TF101. I'd say it's even more stable than the TF101 was even on Honeycomb. I've been putting up with the much smaller screen and just using that. My TF101--which I wasted a not-insignificant amount of money on, including the official accessories--languishes barely used because of how pathetic a job Asus has done.
