Sorry about posting the thread here as I couldn't post it where it needed to go. I have had this GT 10.1 for a few days love what it can do but It continuously wants to go to sleep and not wake up. This is a locked rooted 32gb version.
I have noticed while it is in the dock it tends to only lock up on the home screen and it solved by just removing it from the dock and inserting it again into the dock. When its not in the dock it does the Sleep of death and If i plug it back into the dock while is SoD it will come back to life. I don't have any idea if this helps with your deductions on dealing with this bug. But I thought It could help somehow.
I didnt plug the dock into any power source either.
Well I tried doing the above now its boot looping DARN I REALLY like this thing
after the 3 or 4th SoD the OS got garbled and I had to do a factory reset and reload the OS using ODIN and back to Stock.
Gonna remove the OC kernal witch I had loaded and reload the STOCK OS until its fixed.
I have this problem, my tab 7 days old is dead... I was using it, turn it off connect it to charge it and it is not working now..
Is there any fix or way to get out of the sleep of death?
the asus transformer forum says it's fixed with 3.1 (mostly).
i guess it's the reason why the EU release is delayed permanently.
guys i dont thing there anything wrong with the tablet. i believe its the wall charger.ur usb on ur pc or laptot is not ready to charge ur tablet but it will at a slow rate, really slow.i tired charging it with the wall outlet n it would not do anything. called samsung thay wanted me to send it in for service.i said no.i have it charging with my laptop.that work for me.give it time to charge and u'll see it charging.the cable is good its the big box that plugs in to the wall thats bad.
gt 16gig gray unlocked

Mine wouldn't turn on for the life of me yesterday...exchanged for a brand new unit at best buy....wtf!
Mine does the "Sleep of death" only with custom firmwares and when charging on the media dock...going back to stock fixes the issue...to wake up the tablet I had to make a combination of Power + Volume Down for several seconds until it finally turns on...
Mine was stock. No combination of button presses worked for me
Same with mine. I just shipped it back for repair...

You just need to hold down the power button for 15 seconds, or so. Maybe 30. I've had this issue a few times in the few months I've had this. My bigger problem is the Wake of Death. The stupid thing turns itself on for no reason, and never goes back to sleep, so the battery is almost dead when I go to use it. This happens a few times a week. Drives me crazy.

I read few thread and tried like Calibrating Battery, Clearing battery stacks etc. I'm has flashed the ftf file and Pre-rooted image. The draining issue only happens if the WiFi is On. If I turn off the WiFi it works just fine. Otherwise the device will get heated and the battery will go down like crazy, Within 1 hour around 10% goes down when the phone is in idle. I turned off all the sync. I re-flashed the firmware as well still no luck. I only have Launcher Pro and Widget locker installed rest is stock. I removed few apps like Fun download etc. I also freezed Maps using Titanium backup. My only theory it could be a buggy kernel because it didn't happen in the previous build. But I also tired with DoomKernel (test version) no luck. I'm kinda scared to flash the old firmware back because I see lot of RED Light issues. What else you think could be the problem?
try the stock kernel. remove unwanted apps from system or freeze them via titanium backup
try the manual network search instead of auto. and lastly try the stock kernel

i have exactly the same problem with a NEO, all stock no root no nothing, there is for sure a problem with this firmware.
I'm still on the 2.3.3, but i have noticed a similar effect. This was caused in my case by my email program (com.android.email). By killing the service, the batterydrain went to normal. By starting email again, the batterydrain goes to around 10% per hour and a warm phone. Also there is a lot of bandwidth used!!! up to 20 mb per hour.
I finally got off my lazy ass and jus tremoved all my email accounts and am re-adding them now one by one. Up until so far, it does seem to work.

I have the same issue, it started on .368 firmware.
now I'm getting weird battery status readings, for ex: when charged to 100% after few hours of not using it reaches 60~50%, I turn it off, pull out the battery and put back in then turn it back on, it shows 80~70%
im having serious wifi problems, anyone know a safe method to flash back? i just got my phone replaced to, i dont want to run into the 0% battery issue again
I have the exact same battery issues since .368. For example, I unplugged the phone 24 minutes ago at 100% and now it's down to 97% on stock kernel (.283) and with the screen off the whole time....
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
I tried the stock kernel as well. Still the same problem. I really like to know if it's hardware or software.
I am having the same problem, with lots of heat generated when making calls so much it makes my ear sweat onto the screen. Also there is a huge amount of heat generated when i use data, the battery reduces at 1 % / minute when using data, and also quite a bit when im using the music player also. I hadnt noticed this before as i wasnt using it for every day use because it was sim locked. im scared to go back firmwares because of the 0% battery issue. Im not interestd in root is it ok just to flash back and not root?

Thanks for the reply.
There are just the system apps, the keyboard, the clock widget, music player equalizer, e-mail client and setcpu... basically the same apps as before, as I didn't do any major change since I was on .145.
I checked for maps and it wasn't running.
I guess the battery life is indeed poorer since the last two updates, but at least they have better RAM management than in .145.
Anyways, I have a computer around most of the time (either at home or at work) so I can always charge it, but it's a bit frustrating to see the battery go down like hell when I'm not even doing much with the phone. I mean even a friend of mine who owns an SGS II has slightly better battery life, and that's a dual-core...

The first time this happened to me I figured it was a fluke. Now I've had a third time where in mid phone call my Epic has "thought" it's battery was drained to 0 and hung up my call then proceeded to shut down. The first time was in a busy train station in Chicago, don't remember the situation the second, and today was when I got another call beeping in while I was on the line. Each time when I booted the phone back up it showed plenty of life left on the battery.
Has anyone else experienced this or could it be my phone? I wish I could remember specifics from the first two occurrences, but I believe it could have been a call waiting situation as well.
FWIW, I'm on the MTD CleanGB 1.0.3 rom.
Does it go through a shut down or is it just off? If it is just off may be loose battery connections. Oh you said it shut down on the call....maybe it was a modem crash. Try reflashing a modem.

It actually goes through the shutdown. Does the low battery double beep and pop up, then says shutting phone down.
Might need to wipe the battery stats then re-calibrate the battery. Mine has done this before, but I'm pretty sure it was from throwing the battery at my wall.

Quite possible. I think I didn't bother calibrating the last couple of times I've flashed a ROM. Going to go ahead and do that and hopefully it doesn't happen again.

This used to happen to me ALL the time. It was so frustrating, as soon as it hit 15% if I was talking it'd shut right down. Thankfully flashing the new GB roms seems to have fixed the problem. I sure hope it doesn't happen in CM7
I have this issue regardless of rom. Happens when on a call and low battery alert sounds.
Well, just did it to me again. I calibrated the battery after upgrading to the latest MTD cleanGB yesterday. I was in a building that had poor signal granted, but same thing dropped call, low battery popped up and it shutdown. I had 60% battery left.
I am on 4.2.2 and the bluetooth won't turn on. As soon as i click ON, it immediately goes back to OFF (in blink of an eye). Is it due to the well known wifi-bluetooth issue? It happened yesterday when wifi was off even. Restart is the only temporary cure as for now. Any suggestions?

Exactly. Although a restarts fixes the issue temporarily but it's pretty annoying as bluetooth is used daily and that too quite a lot of times in a day, sometimes. So constant restart really isn't a cure. Anyhow, I was wondering it's just me and this youtube user lol.. but now I know it's kind of a known issue and hopefully Google will fix it, since they know the issues with BT/WiFi etc. But I heard they fixed it in 4.2.2 however, we are still getting it which means the issue hasn't been resolved completely.
Edit: I was using Juice Defender Ultimate earlier and the issue started happening right after a few days of the said app's. installation. Googled a bit and got to know JDU is the culprit. So I uninstalled it on Saturday. But issue still persists.

Never had Juice Defender Ultimate installed on my phone,so thats definitely not the cause. However maybe another app is causing this ? Would be interesting if we could find out.
I am also glad im not the only one with this problem, but it seems like it isnt affecting a lot of devices .. I mean this thread is barely getting responses ? Anyway I hope this gets fixed soon.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I hardly ever use the BT, but the only 2 times I needed it, it happened the same to me. Never used juicedefender, unlocked bootloader + root only.
It's not a big issue for me... but IT IS an annoying issue
I had this for the first time today. The only app I have that might effect it is Qualcomm Battery Guru.
Do you have frozen any service that might be linked to Bluetooth ?
Hmmm.. I uninstalled JDU after reading this thread:
http://feedback.latedroid.com/forum...ooth-cannot-be-turned-on-when-juicedefender-u
...but nothing really changed. So it definitely wasn't JDU.
Hmmmm..
Since a week I am facing another weird issue. I can't seem to transfer any files from or to my phone. Since Jpegs are of small size, they get transferred. But songs..videos..etc.. they just cant get transferred. For instance, a transfer will suddenly hang at..lets say...14% and will stay there for half a minute or so.. and then 1 file share unsuccessful will appear in notification. Out of around 10 to 15 tries, just once it transferred a 39 MB HD trailor.. otherwise it just doesn't transfer any thing.. Do you guys face this *hit too? What to do?:s
This Bluetooth not turning on issue is really annoying. Anyone has any news for it? No fix? Nothing?
I have to restarted my device several times in a day. And it extremely embarrassing when someone asks for a file transfer and you say him.. wait i need to restart the phone. BT isn't turning on
I asked a friend of mine, who has a N4, about this and he said it never happened to him. It seems that not all devices are affected with this bug ? Could it be a hardware thing ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Only had it happen once during the last three weeks so the issue is quite rare. Also had to reboot to fix.
You can leave Bluetooth enabled though, it doesn't drain battery whilst inactive.

No. I don't use any battery saving app. I recently installed Battery Guru. But the issue was there even before installing it. The issue is there since the day I got my hands on the device. I seriously don't want to RMA as everything else is excellent in the device. Infact.. I seriously do not hear any buzzing sound from it.. even in a silent room. It was there in first few days but it was hardly audible. And now its gone. I have tried many times listening in a silent room but don't hear it anymore. So everything is perfect besides this BT bug I really really want a fix for it. No RMAing
The problem arises from the constant turning off and on of the bluetooth radio, as seen in cases such as the battery saving apps (Qualcomm Battery Guru, Juice Defender, etc.). I have the same problem happen when I automate the toggling of bluetooth using a Tasker created schedule. It is not limited to any particular app but has to do with a bug in the Android OS.
The official bug report is here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39688
You guys can star the issue to help raise awareness to Google so that they can fix it. For now, the only workaround that I have found is to just leave bluetooth on all the time.
Help!
Same happens to me. As soon as I switch bluetooth on it switches off. Rebooting doesn't work for me neither does doing a factory reset. Will this be fixed??

My experience with my S4A has been amazingly flawless up until yesterday, when it started experiencing one of the issues that killed my experience with the HTC One- random freezes. And what's strange about it is that they are the same type of freezes that my One experienced, only when browsing the web or using an internet based app like Pulse. It has happened 3 times since yesterday and is so bad that I've had to pull the battery to even get it to reboot. Which brings me to one of my suspicions...
The only thing that has changed between me getting the phone set up originally and when the freezes began was the fact that I started swapping batteries instead of charging the phone. Now, phone batteries nowadays are not just like your average AA cell, it has circuitry in it and NFC stuff... is it possible that a defective battery could be the culprit of my woes? I just put in my original battery and am gonna just wait and see if it happens. The other battery that I've been using is a Samsung OEM battery and not a cheap one. I did root and freeze a bunch of stuff, but nothing exotic, and it was fine until yesterday. I doubt anything I did caused this.
Has anyone else experienced any freezes like this? Help me solve this, I really want to keep this phone (at least until the next latest and greatest comes out). TIA

I Haven't had any issues since I've had the phone, going on 3 weeks. I've been rooted and have froze apps in TB with no problems since geohot gave us root. Also have done some other root mods, and have not experienced any issues.
Sounds like just some bad hardware circulating.

Man I REALLY hope it's not a hardware issue. I'm so tired of doing the repeated exchange thing.

I dunno... My box is in another state so I won't be able to check it for a few weeks. I bought it on the very first day it was available if that helps any. On a side note, I put my original battery in last night and it hasn't locked up on me since. We'll see what happens by the end of the day.

The only thing I know I was doing at the time was watching a YouTube video then pressed pause.
Next thing you know I picked it up hit the power... Nothing. Hit menu... Nothing. The blue LED was just the normal notification indicator, so I knew it hadn't powered off... Resulted in a battery pull.
I also know that I didn't get any messages or new notifications while the screen was off.

I ALWAYS have issues restoring from titanium backup, esp going from one phone to another. My suggestion is to factory reset and start with a clean slate, cas only then can u verify a hardware issue.

I dunno... My box is in another state so I won't be able to check it for a few weeks. I bought it on the very first day it was available if that helps any. On a side note, I put my original battery in last night and it hasn't locked up on me since. We'll see what happens by the end of the day.

I know on the Captivate the Build Number could be found under the battery (can be found there on the S4A as well) and it was the year/month that the phone was built, or so they say. My S4A Build number is 1306 so I'm guessing it was built the beginning of June...

I would like to know if you have had any more problems since you put your original battery back in? If you could give a update I would really appreciate it. I really think the active is a great phone and I truly like it but if people are having a lot of issues with it, I'll just return it and get something else to save myself a headache down the road. I have a week left on my return date so that's why I was wanting to know.

gf has had similar issues; heres what fixed it.
battery pull
factory reset/restore
reboot
battery pull
reboot
root/etc/restore from there. check to make sure you dont have custom CPU voltage/speed mods enabled; i believe this was the initial culprit, though even after resetting them to stock it would still lock up. it only did it 3 times, and usually right after a new mod, but ONLY if CPU values were changed. after the above procedure, she redid all her cpu values but only AFTER all mods were installed, rebooted, and everything works great again.

The only "issue" I've had with mine is that it's too bright when the brightness is set to max

Same problems no matter which battery. It seems to happen most when I'm using Chrome so I deleted the updates but it's still doing it. It happened while playing a game today which it's never done before. Next step is to freeze Chrome and see if that helps. If not, then I'm gonna factory reset and if that doesn't work, I'm gonna have to exchange it. I really did not want to have to deal with this. With my ridiculous work schedule I don't have the time or the energy. I might just start looking for a different phone because I'm sick of having issues like this.

I would say if the factory reset does not work than it is the phone itself. I had issues like this in the past with my old infuse and I did a factory reset and it took care of it. Hopefully that will help you out so you can keep your phone. Thanks for replying.

Yeah bud, I really hope a reset works. I might do it tomorrow, I should have enough time. I'm just frustrated that I'm having identical issues with the S4A that I had on my One. I was really hoping to find a phone that just works. I don't think I've had a problem free phone since my Epic 4G Touch. My One X had issues (though my 5th one was near perfect), my iPhone 5 was horrible, both my Ones had problems, and now this. I'm just venting now but I'm seriously tired of it. I've got my eye on that new Sony i1 that's coming out in a couple months, I really love their current design choices and I've never tried a Sony before. Or maybe the next Nexus. Who knows. I just don't want to deal with this crap anymore.
