Hi All,
I'm new to the forum, and wanted to ask the community if they had run across this particular problem with the TF201. I tried searching for a similar thread before posting but hadn't come across anything addressing the same scenario, so sorry if I missed it and this is the wrong place to post.
So here's the situation, I have a TF201 64GB with serial starting BCOKAS and I do love this tablet. I have not had the Wifi issues previously reported or the GPS issues, though I do see a bar drop in the wifi strength sometimes, overall its strong. What I am having is the lock-up issue that everyone else is having, with one slight addition, hence the new thread. I will see a reboot an irregular intervals, between 2 mins and 6 hours. The difference being every couple of freeze-ups, the tablet will not only freeze up - but start screaming out this god awful noise and will not stop for 15 - 20 seconds until I can force a restart. This occurs during no particular period or operation of any particular program. One night, I woke up to it deciding to make this noise, while it was just sitting there on the charger. I have looked on the XDA-Development and other threads, but have found only two others experiencing or mentioning similar issues. The only comment on those has been to turn off GPS - though none of them followed up to see if that actually worked. I am trying this today - and will update this thread with results over the next 24 hours. In the meantime I want to ask the community, has anyone experienced this same scenario? It's driving me a little crazy. I am afraid to take the pad into meetings at work, or even to bed as I don't want to wake my fiance who has to get up early for work.
Any solutions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I could almost deal with the standard reboots until Asus pushes out its supposed fix, but the scream has to stop. Again, I apologize if this is somehow a repeat thread. Thanks again everyone.
