Hi all
Thanks for reading.
I just wonder anyone have the symptom of sometimes padfone will shutdown by itself or restart by itself?
Most of the time it happened when I use Chrome browser. If I use default browser, sometimes it just close the browser.
I notice most of the time I use Spotify in the background streaming music online. But sometimes it still restart without Spotify. Example is when a screen capture button on the keyboard is pressed. But it'll not restart if I do it again the next time.
Is this a normal thing happen to our beloved padfone? Is it our OS unstable?
Not mine, however I don't use the keyboard dock. for almost a year, yes there've been a restart by itself, but not often, usually when some apps hangs or too much workload or heat. not more than 10 as i recall

Thanks for the reply.
Come to think of it, most of the restart seems like happened when dock to keyboard. Could it be the keyboard? ERM....
Yes. I have random reboots (mostly when display is off) since update to JB (without dock and with dock). Furthermore Chrome and the browser shut down frequently but do actually not cause a restart. As soon as I have a little time I will reset my whole device and hope this will fix this anyoing issue, but I am afraid that it is a certain 3rd party app that causes the reboots.
Mine has never restarts itself. But the browser constantly close by itself.
Mine too. But for past 2 days, it seems to get stabilized. Default browser more stable. I uninstall and install back flash.apk. Not sure if that helps.

I hard reset 2 times already. Its still the same. But maybe you'll be more lucky than me.
And yes. 3rd party like Spotify running in background I suspect is the culprit. So does the Adobe Flash APK for ICS which I install in JB.
I have neither Adobe Flash APK nor Spotify installed. Following apps I installed are not that popular and might cause the issue (cause they run all the time):
It used to happen to my phone all the time before and after JB update so I sent it back to ASUS twice 1st time didnt fix but 2nd time they did nd told me they had to replace the motherboard. This was in Taiwan

If hardreset does not solve the issue I will deinstall and install all these apps separate - lots of effort but I guess there is no other way
Good luck. Do report back if this solve the issue by finding the culprits.

May I know what you mean by happen all the time? How is the frequency likes?
My reboot is totally random. Not that random actually. Reboot mostly happened when I surf net. The other time just press something I never press before and that is the screen capture button. It just froze and restart. AFter that, the button is usable again.

I think it was the DDS for me, because since I better checked the app to switch or not, the reboot stopped itself. I hope this help... Stefano
Yes, my reboot always in tablet/dock mode and never in phone by itself.
So Dynamic Display Switch could be the culprit here.
Did you turn off all DDS and then the reboot stopped? Or you turn on all DDS and the reboot stopped? Or did you turn on and off DDS for certain apps?

The last one: I had all apps ON and it rebooted for itself quietly any times I docked station, then I turned all apps OFF and checked ON only the ones I really need in station. Since this no more reboot. Ciao, Stefano

It happened mostly at random and when I wasn't using it. It could happen 3 times a day before the 1st fix nd maybe once every couple of days until I sent it back the second time. Got it back updated with JB nd never had a problem.
I have this problems with my padfone. When i listen music with power amp app and my padfone has 90% of battery power, sometimes it shutdown. I have files mp3 on my sd card, so i think that can be the problem or that power amp can cause the crash but this problem doesn't happen when battery power is under 90%. I have a Jelly Bean firmware and with ICS i never have had casual shutdown. The only difference is that with ICS i had a sd card with 4 gb of memory while with JB now, i use an sd card with 32 gb of memory
