I've been having two major issues with my tablet, and while they seem to be related to some thing others are talking about, they are not quite the same.
1) I have never been unable to wake my device. However, sometimes when I do wake it, the touchscreen is completely non-responsive so I can't even unlock the device. I have to power down by holding the power button until it shuts off, and then power back on.
2) A REALLY strange wi-fi bug. I set my wi-fi to never disconnect to test if this would still happen, and it does. Often times I will wake the device, and it will say disconnected from wi-fi. I go into settings, under wi-fi, and it says "wi-fi turning off" as if it were in progress (which it shouldn't be doing anyway since I set it to never disconnect). It will sit there and do nothing, and I can't tell it to stop trying to turn off the wi-fi. Again, I have to reboot to do anything.
Anyone else with these REALLY annoying issues?
Seems like more people are having the touchscreen problem. Mine is totally dead. I've rebooted 20+ times. It's been two days now, still no luck.

Yea I saw a couple others who reported that just now, but seems like mostly the black screen on wake problems prevail.
I'm having the WiFi issue. If the tablet is in standby for a length of time (usually longer than an hour) I have to disable the WiFi in settings and then re-enable it to get it to reconnect.

I can't even disable it in settings. It is grayed out and says "turning off wi-fi" and pressing it does nothing. Like it's irreversibly stuck in that status until I reboot.

Ah yea I've had this happen to me too several times. In general the transformer wifi radio seems pretty weak. In my bedroom upstairs where my laptop, iphone, ps3, wifes ipad all get perfect wifi signal, the transformer is getting 1 bar at best. Youtube is totally unusable there.

I too have been exhibiting touchscreen issues. I have found that by ever so lightly twisting the TF I can get it to work. It is going back to Micro Center tomorrow. I only hope the one I sent my dad doesn't begin acting up, as he there isn't a Micro Center near him in Florida. He will be forced to RMA it with Asus. I don't believe they will charge a restocking fee on a broken item. Hopefully I will be able to find a new one soon.
Sold my Transformer for the price that i paid for, sick of putting up with it. Had a few issues like camera , touch screen problem,crashing while playing game....etc... i will buy it again later when demand dies down and quality improves. Good luck with yours.
mine doesn't have these problems...i think the stability of its wifi connection is better than my milestone...

I normally don't have this problem. But yesterday I left the device on for a night and in the morning I wasn't able to wake it, had to do hard reboot.
I gotta keep turning it off. Very annoying. Anyone have an idea what causes this?
I used to have this problem but then I realised it. It will turn the NFC on after an update (software update).
There is a hardware flaw in the S6, if a magnet gets close to the sim slot area it will turn NFC on, and some times it will not shut back off when the magnetic field is removed. IF you use a wireless charger this could be it.
Hey all,
I have a very odd problem with my old P500 I am trying to get running again. Almost all the time the phone wont turn on. I have tried removing the battery and leaving it, plugging it in both with and without the battery, trying various different reset combos with and without power or battery in the phone, nothing will work. Usually. Then sometimes the phone just turns on. When it does work, its great. All until you turn it off again. As soon as you turn it off, its a guarantee it's not coming back on for a while again.
I cant seem to work out any rhyme or reason as to what will let it turn on either. I have had it turn on sometimes on a charger with no battery, sometimes charger and battery, and sometimes just on battery without a charger. Like I mentioned, when it works and will turn on everything works exactly as expected. I can't find anything software-wise that seems to indicate it wouldn't load. Just most of the time (upwards of 95% of the time or so?) it won't turn on at all. Hard reset combos etc have no effect on the phone, and it won't pull up on a computer in this state either. I bought another battery recently and tried that, as I had previously had a poor battery life from it, but that turned out to have no effect on the booting issue. The most recent time I was able to boot the phone I left it on and charging for a few hours and it finished completely charging the new battery, but on turning it off it wouldn't come on again as usual.
I am suspecting a hardware problem with the phone internally, although I am not really sure. Anyone else have any clue as to what I might try? If it is hardware-based, does anyone have a suggestion as to what part might cause it not to boot?
Thanks,

Bought a lg g5 Used off eBay. For some reason the WiFi won't turn on. It acts like the Hotspot enablers used to act where they would trying to turn on for half a second then shut off. Any solution or should I just return it considering I'm already having problems with it?
Hope somebody has the magic solution.
I have a moto E 4 plus XT1775 with 7.1.1 that is rooted with Magisk and all notifications are very delayed. Most cases I won't get the notifications until I wake up the phone and wifi is set to always on, power saver is off, turned off battery optimizer for the apps I need the notifications but it does this even when I'm on 4g. Don't know if it's an OS issue as my old Samsung running on 4.4.4 gets them instant all the time. This issue is causing me a big problem because some people aren't very happy with me as they think I'm ignoring them since I don't respond in a timely manor especially when they say, get back to me as soon as possible, but I didn't know they were trying to get a hold of me. Or 2 hours later I wake up the phone and it tells me my car alarm went off, a lot of good that does me 2 hours after it happened. If I'm using the phone, notifications come in fine but after it's asleep for a little while, it could be 10,15 min or longer then the problem starts. I think it did this even before I rooted. Any help on this would be great.
Thank you

I have the moto e4 plus too the same model and i am having this exact issue i had called Motorola and no one was able to figure out the problem, i have went through every setting and still nothing i even factory reset the phone and still the same result, now what is weird is i have another Moto e4 plus that was made in 2017 with android Nougat same security update and it dont do this at all, this is very frustrating because i bought a smart watch and it wont receive the notifications until i physically go in my phone and wake it up from the lock screen then suddenly i get all my notification as if they were delayed what i find weird is its almost like the phone goes into a deep sleep and refuses to be woken up by notifications ive tried everything i think it software related
