Help Laggy

I love the Prime and use it everyday - I pout ICS on as soon as I bought it but didn't do a factory reset. It is laggy and often offers me the choice of closing the browser or waiting. It occasionally freezes for a second or two. Also twice in the last week I have woken up to find the Prime switched off, It would only turn back on by holding the power button in for ten seconds.

I am thinking of doing a factory reset but am worried about what I will lose - files, pics, game saves settings etc - what do you reckon - will I gain much?
 
Try doing a soft reset (which doesn't clear everything). There's a small hole on the side with the microSD slot. Sick a small wire (paperclip works well) in there until it clicks and the tablet reboots.

That is ridiculous it has made an amazing difference - browsers open far quicker, games load like lightening - is that some kind of black magic there?

Needless to say thank you muchly

If I do this on my prime, will I lose anything data wise? Or will I lose software updates? Does it just reset the device?

EDIT: Never mind, I already did it.
 
No whatever you don don't do it, it is the signal that will start the Martian invasion and the end of humanity...

On you did..

Oh noes!!!!

I didn't lose anything. It just forces the tablet to restart. I don't know if it helped me at all though. I did it because my Prime was also having problems with the browser freezing. Haven't had it ask me to force close the browser since.

Great I think im going to try it,bcus mine force/close too and it gets annoying and Ive tried different kinds of browsers too..thanks
 
I've been having the same issue!!! browser keeps freezing, lagging, crashing, waiting, etc. I just posted a thread about it before seeing this. I will try the soft update, as my tablet is new and I don't have any important data on it yet.
 
Didn't work for me :-( I am going to do a factory reset, but will wait a while before I do it.
 
I took out my microSD card and it made a world of difference. The Transformer is still laggy at times, but not nearly as much and doesn't totally lock up like it used to.

I don't know if it's specifically a problem with microSD or if I need to reformat it. I plug the microSD card back in to watch the videos stored on it.
