The random reboots is not a OS problem. its an App problem.

A simple factory reset would have sorted that out for you ages ago.... and yes I know its a kak thing to do but unfortunately its the only way :)

I did a factory reset after getting ICS, still getting some reboots. Might be an app but I don't know which.. They occur so seldom that it would almost be impossible to pinpoint.
 
I see the new update is available for me too, downloading it while I type this . Agreed re hard to find which app is issue - its just rubbish that apps that had no issue before ICS are apparently not future compatible, but I suppose that could be a bit much to ask!
 
There is a setting in your market/play store that tells apps to automatically create a shortcut when installed - perhaps it's this? Or is this randomly not when you install things

Recently I've been having icons randomly appear on my homescreen without me putting them there. It looks like it must be spam.
How can I stop this from happening?
Is it possible that this could happen with a free app I installed?

Install and check with Appbrain's add detector. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.detector

NO Android phone should be without this puppy

I am pretty sure silkman has his tablet long enough to know random vs when he install. My educated guess is he is having issues with the new Airpush and similar add ****. App brain is a must to remove this and other crap that finds it way onto your devices by means of informing you what apps does what and have access to what. That way you can decide if you wanna uninstall or try and live with it.

I have an ongoing problem which I just can't resolve
In some airport/hotel lounges I cannot connect to a wifi network.
My Transformer continuoulsy shows obtaining IP but doesn't connect. What could be the problem?
My phone connects fine on the same network and password. What the heck is causing this?

Never seen this before, but have you tried using a static ip address in such cases?

I have no idea what's causing this, but try switching it to "airplane mode" so that all wireless connections are severed, then back to "normal mode" and try to connect again

How do I do that Elimentals?
Where would I get the ip address from?
Click to expand...

Well if your phone can get one, you can see what range they using then simply ping an address in that range to get a free one. Or use the phone's Ip address(Make sure phone disconects before you connect with tablet)
