[Asus Transformer TF700] dmitryu:
For the record -- I have Asus RT-N16 at home, with stock/latest firmware (and pretty happy with it). Configuration is fairly complex, with NAT, etc., but nothing terribly exotic, cannot say much.

Indeed, as I wrote before, the only non-interruptible 15 days of work I ever experienced were when I was traveling and accessing wifi less frequently. Apart from that, usually I have reboots at ~5 days on average, without any other patterns I can spot.

Current statistics :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AtWC8vr3mCUJdDFiUnByT3Z0NlpCT0JrcVpLRHl2QVE&output=html

PS: Now that I observed "sleep of death" with Nexus 4, I am beginning to think -- maybe the world has changed, and for 4.*-based Android that's normal after all? And it's time to look for good old pre-4* devices. Or maybe it's that now both ASUS and LG should go into the black list forever :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Well I'm using 1 Tap Quick Bar and doubt that's the culprit. I do agree with you that possibly there are 'toxic' combinations of apps which by themselves are quite harmless.

But I don't have any random reboots - ever - and I'm connecting to many, many wifi networks. I practically live in hotels - not by choice, mind you - and have close to 40 remembered networks and do not get a rr with any of them, including my home network. None of them does mac filtering though...

I am running CROMI, though I have not had RRs on stock either - go figure....
[Asus Transformer TF700] echardcore:
I am having a tough time believing that this has anything to do with the WiFi router too. If Wifi was causing the issue I think the client would be at fault. Say the router was having some delay in authentication or packet loss/latency, etc, if the client cant deal with these scenarios it would be the client software/hardware at fault. If the router were at fault all client devices would experience an issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
4 days so far without a reboot. Only change: removed XDA-developers app. Too early to say for sure, I know, but so far everything feels snappier. If this is what's wrong, I would suspect something to do with background notifications on this app, but I'm only basing this off my last reboot (when I started taking notes). Anyone getting consistent reboots without this app installed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] echardcore:
I never used that app and experienced the reboots. No reboots yet after receiving my RA back and updating firmware 13 days ago. I haven't manually rebooted or shut down either. Just charged as needed. I really want to start disabling some of the bloatware. I think this is the longest period without a reboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
People need to start being more accurate when reporting these reboots if anyone is ever going to find the issue. Basic stuff, like: What app were you using, portrait or landscape mode, wifi on or off, gps on or off, Launcher, ROM, etc. I tried reading back through this thread looking for a trend, but half the posts lack important data. Someone mentioned Portrait mode as a potential cause, and nobody a page after it made a point of mentioning what mode they were using. That is not troubleshooting, people.

Mine has only rebooted on it's own 5 times since I bought it, 4 times on an incompatible app (according to Google Play, can't blame the TF700 for my stubbornness) and once when Moon+ loaded the very first time. My Wifi is off when I'm not using the tab, GPS always off, Auto brightness off, own a Netgear WNDR3700 router, 94% of the time I'm in landscape mode, 50/50 docked. Stock, locked, non-rooted. No launcher or monitor apps.

Perhaps we should all start comparing which bloatware we have on/off? (We can do the actual apps after that, though with 250+ for some of us that might not be useful)

I disabled everything related to Youtube, Sync, Voice, Calendar, Contacts, Face unlock, Search, Maps, Google+ and all pointless apps Asus pre-installed...

Actually, maybe someone more coding-knowledgable can tell me if i'm talking nonsense or not(which is a possibility), but apps like Maps, Search, Voice, Calendar and Sync are always running, could they cause such a thing? (Since people have mentioned it not happening as much with WiFi off, perhaps one of those apps tries to sync something and it causes a conflict?)
[Asus Transformer TF700] dmitryu:
The problem is that with such non-deterministic [non]reproduciblity it is really hard to conduct any systematic testing. I would assume Asus should be doing that, since they are paid money for that, must have resources, and should've spent time on this interesting excersize, I've seen enough such cases in professional life :)

My statistics show expectation of about 5 days to issue, with approx. exponentially looking distribution, with its tail going up to ~11 days (not counting one extremely long period including 2wks travel). 22 events in the entire life of the unit, since 10/22/2012 till today. I.e., to get some degree of reliability, each experiment should last at least 3-4 weeks of constant pattern of usage, configuration, environment, etc. Then adding applications, altering configuration, environment, so on, probably different combinations thereof, better systematically. That is quite an effort, and I understand why Asus prefers to leave support people handle the cases, or change units as needed. Such things are unlikely to be diagnosed by "brute force", some intelligence be better used during design & manufacturing.

And of course there could be multiple different root causes. The fact that some people (I kind of hope for Asus that it's majority) do not experience the issue ever, leads me to believe that there must be something related to the specifics of particular unit hardware. Which does not eliminate probability of software issues, related or not.

In my case I do not see any patterns regarding apps usage or portrait/landscape orientation, therefore I would speculate that at least in my case careful elimination of applications, etc., must be quite pointless. Not to mention that I still do not understand how a virtual machine can cause kernel-level faults, it does not make sense (we are not talking running wrong binaries).

Welcome to look at my current statistics, perhaps this exhibit will go some day into a bank of evidence for people vs. Asus :)

But usually such failures just quitely go into oblivion, with units ultimately ending their lifes in recycle bin, replaced with some newer generations of amazing new hardware. Just never from Asus, at least in my case :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I agree that there are just too many variables involved to do any meaningful testing here. I ran into this exact situation with the TF101 - random reboots came along with ICS (was reboot-free on Honeycomb). I worked (along with other XDA members) directly with Asus, sending them detailed "logdog" system logs, trying beta firmware, etc and they were never able to figure it out. They claimed that they couldn't reproduce it and even sent me a brand new TF101 to test with (which also experienced random reboots directly out of the box, all stock).

I'm starting to wonder if the issue is at least partially environmental. Along with the wifi utility-type apps that I installed when I experienced my random reboots, I was also at a relatives house when the reboots occurred.

I also once worked to solve "random reboots" with DD-WRT on the Asus WRT-610N (V1) - we found the "random" reboots were being caused by wifi interference - it all depended on how many neighboring wifi networks were using the same wifi channel. I found that if I setup all of my equipment on a "banned" channel (as DD-WRT allows), the random reboots went away. The end "solution" was a setting that was set with an Android command-line wifi-control utility - I remember it was something to do with "set interference mode" or something like that - I can get the details if interested...
[Asus Transformer TF700] dmitryu:
[BTW, I'm using latest stock firmware with this TF700]

That's a very interesting point. In my apartment I have quite busy wifi neighborhood -- all normal channels are populated, usually by several stations, more than 10 total.

The longest trouble-free time I had with TF700 was when I was in remote Europe/Alps location (no faults for 15 days spent there, reboot after a ~week from returning home), where Wi-fi was quite scarce -- either absent (second week) or present but one station (first week, where I still used the network daily). And I guess the interference from neighborhood was either small or non-existent -- those were remote houses, not busy cities...

I will try changing channel on my home router (asus rt-n16, I haven't had problems with Asus before :) ) and will see if this affects statistics. Thanks for the idea!

Probably Asus is not lucky enough with network interfaces across all departments :) -- I had once some "mobile" Asus router (forgot the exact model), that occasionally (I thought upon detecting/receiving some packet or garbage from my network provider Ethernet cable, I did not see any other triggering factors) would just have that Ethernet port "hung" completely, not seeing anything on that network after the event, which would occur once in 1-2 weeks. Remaining in that state until power cycling...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Actually, reading back what you quoted, I realized that I screwed up in *multiple* places in that post - let me clarify what I was really *trying* to say!

It was a Linksys WRT-610N (not Asus - sorry about that) - and just to clarify - the Linksys router (running DD-WRT) is what was "randomly" rebooting. I eventually found the "wifi interference" theory and the DD-WRT developer had me try this command on the router command-line: "wl -i eth0 interference 0" and sure enough, that completely eliminated the WRT-610N random reboot problem for everyone that was having it. In fact, it's still mentioned in the DD-WRT wiki!

Hmm, maybe it's worth trying that command on your TF700 (I know I've seen the "wl" utility floating around) - who knows maybe it'll help...
[Asus Transformer TF700] dmitryu:
Yeah, I understood it was router, and I doubt that the utility would be compatible. I just liked the general idea that this can have something to do with wifi environment -- this correlates well with what I've observed. Too bad I cannot screen my apartment from outside interference for proper testing :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yeah, I was confusing the "iwconfig" utility with the "wl" utility. I just checked "iwconfig" on my TF700 and it doesn't seem to have the "interference" command like the "wl" command did.

Does anyone know of a "wl" command compiled for the TF700?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
dmitryu: have you been collecting logcats? They are not [linked?] on your statistics sheet.

echardcore: have you used the Tapatalk app? It's possible that you've never used the XDA App, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Tapatalk app shared some bugs with the XDA App.

Has anyone considered turning off application-specific notifications to see if that helps? Maybe start by turning off XDA/Tapatalk notifications to see if it helps? Can't hurt at this point.

Oh yeah, uptime: 4 days, 23 hours, 31 minutes, 40 seconds, no wait, 41, no...
[Asus Transformer TF700] dmitryu:
No, I haven't been collecting logs, that would be too much of an undertaking for me; current use monitoring is automated mostly :)

I tend to believe that any log would not include the latest events anyway (and the interesting ones are probably not logged at all, if we are talking about hard issues with subsequent reboot upon watchdog...)

BTW, I've never used or installed Tapatalk or XDA app ever on the tablet :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
I think /proc/kmsg will not be useful, but I'm pretty sure (and might be wrong) /proc/last_kmsg will contain stack dumps before the reboot if you get it after the reboot. Also, even if you don't have these apps, check disabling other apps with notifications. Like I said, can't hurt to try at this point.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
For what it's worth, I use Tapatalk heavily and don't have random reboots (besides that one day). I also leave all notifications enabled.

From what I'm reading, it does sound like it's wifi-related. It would be interesting to have someone with random reboots to try using one of the "banned" wireless channels, so that we know there is no wifi "interference" - would need DD-WRT on the router and a rooted tablet (in order to set one of these "banned" channels).
[Asus Transformer TF700] dmitryu:
No banned channels here in Russia :)

Anyway, channel switching will not necessarily affect the thing -- interference still interferes :), and the device still listens to other channels as well (maintaining list of adjacent stations, etc.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Banned channels...? Probably a US thing.

I've set my router to use 3 & 7. Most people here dont even know a router has channels (frankly most don't even know what a router is..). There's 4 on 1, 4 on 6, 4 on 11 and one on 9. And then mine on 3 and 7. (Default here in the Netherlands is 1, 6 & 11.)

So I'm the only one in the area using either of these channels.

I've got Tapatalk installed and notifications on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
By "banned" channels I mean channels 12-14 (which aren't normally accessible here in the US). Again, just going from what I experienced on the Linksys router - just by switching all of my gear to channel 13, the random reboots on the WRT610N stopped. That's when the DD-WRT developer (the infamous "Eko") had me try the "wl" utility to set the "interference" mode on the router, which corrected the problem on any channel (I think it actually disabled the "interference" mode, of which there were multiple settings).

Of course, this may be completely un-related to the TF700 problems as well - just throwing out some ideas.

This is my first thread on XDA so forgive me if I put it in the wrong place etc. I just picked up a gsm galaxy nexus and flashed it to stock jelly bean, everything went smooth and it was successful. I also have it rooted. Anyway whenever I play music and turn the screen of the and turn it on the lock screen is black with the no background and the cover art is partially blocked by the status bar.

Really? Cause on my Nexus 7 it was normal, anyway at least it isn't a major issue and its not affecting anything else. I guess its just a cosmetic thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Because the nexus 7 is a tablet.. and has the tablet/phone lock screen ui to it so it only shows the small album art up at the top. the DPI is small enough for that.

I get that but why would the wallpaper change to black on my galaxy nexus.

It just does. Google thinks it looks nicer, I suppose, and I have to agree. People could use very colourful wallpapers, that plus an "psychedelic" album art, and you end up in a perfect mess.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ncrispi:
Hey, i am new to rooting, actually the whole android intact. I decided to get a HTC ONE X after having the iPhone for a while. I have watched some videos on rooting and i think i have all that down with boot loader and stuff. I just have a few questions about other stuff regarding rooting the phone with customer ROM's.....

1) if i have a custom rom, and i get an OTA update, will that brick my phone if i do decide to update it? I know that it will take root off... but will it brick it if i just update without doing anything with custom rom?

2)Do custom roms (the one I'm looking at is the cyanogen mod for HTC ONE X) kill the battery more then normal?

3) How do you go back to stock rom if you no longer want the rom.... is it as easy as just going to the reboot screen and selecting stock rom? is the stock rom already on there or do i have to put it on there?

4) If wanted, how easy is it to un-root phone?

5) and just personal opinion, what is the best jellybean Custom rom out right now for HTC one X?

Thank you all so much!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qwertyaas:
1 - You can't OTA update with a custom rom. Anyway, the custom roms (Sense based) are further updates than the AT&T updates.

2 - When I used CM10, it had quite a bit of wakelock but it's dependent on each phone as well. Many have great battery life.

3 - RUU

4 - When you RUU, you relock your bootloader and it brings it back to stock. Only difference is now in the bootloader, it says re-locked, not locked.

5 - CM10 is pretty good so far, but I'm a fan of AOKP.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
1. The OTAs are pulled by software on the phone. Custom ROMs don't have this software and don't pull, so no need to worry.

2. Depends. Keep in mind the current JB ROMs are still a work in progress. CM10 does still have wakelocks, but its getting better.

3. Already said above. Just relock your bootloader and RUU.

4. Easy to unroot. Easy to relock. But once you unlock your bootloader your phone will never say LOCKED again. I honestly have never had an issue with it with warranty repair, but please don't be an asshat and flash a ROM for the wrong One X and then complain to AT&T.

5. Personal preference. The great things about custom ROMs is you can try a bunch out and find the one that you like. I used AOKP a while back and liked it. CM10 is pretty cool but I just had it for a few days as they work out the wakelock issues. Also check out some of the ICS ROMs. CleanROM is pretty solid as well and gives great performance. Don't necessarily limit yourself. That's the beauty of it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
On going back to stock rom, you dont necessarily need to use the ruu. After you get your phone rooted, unlocked, and a recovery for flashing your custom roms, then just make sure before you flash your first rom that you (from recovery) select factory reset (will erase all user data such as 3rd party apps and such) then perform a backup, also in recovery. Now,you have a safe stock rooted rom backup. Go flash any of the roms in this forum and at anytime you can always just go restore your stock rom back;)
