Hello, I have tried to update my ROM with the latest one off of the O2 website, however the screen on my XDA went black half way through and now it won't switch on, have tried a reset, removing the battery and still nothing the Update did say it had failed, Can anyone help, it is my main phone and i am really stuck.
Put the XDA into bootloader by pressing and holding power, d-pad and reset for about 3 seconds until the screen reads serial. Connect the XDA to your PC and external power via the cradle and run the update again.
Hi,when I press the center hardware key,I get this screen:
For example if I'm in a middle of a game and I want to go back to my home screen and I press the hardware key so I get to this application,this is the screen that pops out when the phone is docked...
How do I solve this?
Thanks.
Huh? lol
Made me laugh!
lol, that would be the desk clock screen, when your connected to the emmm you know dock, try pressing the home when not connected to it for the desired effect.
why would you be playing a game whilst connected to the dock. Bit awkward isn't it really.. ....
I'll explain again,my phone isn't docked.I never connected him to dock station.
But still I get this screen when I press the hardware key.
I must to restart my phone to get rid of that annoying issuse.
But suddenly (sometimes minutes later and sometimes hours later)it pops out again...
How do I solve this issuse?
Thanks.
someone????
Why waste time? Just backup and reflash your rom... Problem probably solved...

I have another major issue that annoys me from the beginning - once in a while(every few hours) my phone don't output sound and if I try to lock my phone by pressing the power button,my phone got stuck.
I must to restart him.
About the sound:When my phone don't output sound.I enter to Volume properties
and the Incoming call+Notification sounds are working but Media+System don't.
If I try to lock my phone sometimes it stuck.
I kinda play with the power button,I press him sometimes in a row because I know that my phone will stuck.
It can be stuck from the first press,second press,third press.
I mean it's random.
But it got stuck only when I have the sound issuse.
This problem so annoy me,I try several roms and no help.
I give up when I my phone don't recharge and give my phone the store that I bought from.
They factory reset my phone.
This reset help me for a while with sound issuse and solve my charging issuse.
Now I have these issuses:sound+stuck phone,harware key issuse,suddenley my phone activate car mode.
The two last issuses start after the facory reset.
Note:after the factory reset,I have used my phone days without encounter any of the issuses that I mentioned.
My question:Is my phone defective?
Thanks for your help.
Do a system wipe, restart with default settings. Before you reinstall any applications, test everything. If it works, it isn't any hardware fault.
Where do I find this system wipe?
Thanks.
me too had this problem when i installed sensation rom now i reinstalled to stock and i got rid of this prbm but now the prblm is i cant power off my s2 it gets restarted while i power off

My power button just stopped working. It is all in and will not pop up, I tried to gently pick it up with a small tool but it won't come up. I am about 2 weeks out of warranty but still Ok as I have extended warranty from my AmEx. My problem is I am getting out of town for a week next week and will be dependent on the phone. It works fine except for the power button. So I am worried that if for some reason the phone powers down I won't be able to power it up without the power button. If I find a way to do that I should be good - I put a screen lock widget and can wake it up with the touch pad (hopefully it does not die on me too ). I found one post claiming that you can power up the phone with the wall charger and the home button but am afraid to try it - if it does not work I'll be stuck with a dead phone. So, can anybody please try this and write back whether it works:
if the mt4g is off, plug it into the wall charger, after you see the "charging" light and light in the optical pad, press and hold the "home" button for a few seconds (5-10) and the phone should boot into recovery just like that, at which point you can reboot from the recovery menu
Here's the link to the post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11581315&postcount=17
I am unrooted on 2.3.4 with the latest OTA update (2.32.531.1) if that matters.
Thanks a lot!

I don't know, something might have broken or displaced inside, the key is down and seems stuck down. So, did you get to the bootloader? Could you restart from there? Thanks for the effort.
I tried it. I got nothing. Doesn't start with out the power button. You better get that out for repair or carry a charger and car charger at all times until then.

Darn, that's a bummer! Thanks.
I'm wondering could this be ROM dependent - work for some ROMs and not for others?
I also found one good MT4G to try it on and can confirm that it does not work.
I've recently sold my 7.7, which was working and now the buyer told me that after a couple of days it stopped working. He presses the power button and it won´t turn on and when he plugs the tablet into the outlet the battery charging icon won´t show up. Nothing like this ever happened to it while I was using it so I´m finding it very very weird....but I´m trying to be a nice guy and help the guy out anyway.
Any thoughts on what this might be or how can I fix it?
Never mind....the buyer just called me to let me know that he did a factory reset and it started working again...I´m not sure how he did the factory reset though, if the tablet wasn´t powering on...anyway, I did my good deed.
How in the world he did a factory reset when it wont power on??? Hmmm......lol

Hey Guys I need some help please!
I have a friend, which will be joining this thread soon, that has a samsung tab 2 GT-P3113 7" .
He is not able to power on the device, I suggested holding the power button down for 30-40 seconds but that didn't work.
He charged it overnight and he can see the charging icon, he then tried again holding the power button for 30-40 seconds...still nothing.
He informed me that when he connects his tab to his computer it says:" I should install OMAP3440 driver for connection".
Sorry , this is all I have, I'm not familiar with the tab 2 .
Thank you!
Isnt there a reset button/procedure? Like hold power button and volume up or down?
My P3110 will not arrive till next week so i can say for sure.
Try holding the Volume Down button and the power button. Keep holding them and you should get a warning about running custom software. If you get this, then you could download an Odin restore package and flash it to the tablet to get it back up and running. The fact that it shows the charging image is a good sign, Hopefully it can be fixed from there.

Yes, I did, but it doesn't work for this tab. Only there is a good sign I can see: the charging icon come up when I plug tab to wall or pc, and when I try to connect to pc, I get a message from pc saying I should install driver for OMAP3440. This is the driver for Texas Instrument processor that come inside tab.
I don't know if this tab is bricked or not, so I'm stop just at this step.
Thanks & thank you so much to spagman72 for his valuable help

Yes, I did exactly as you have said, but it doesn't work, nothing warning about custom software, just black screen. Also, pls note that when I try to connect to pc, I get a message from pc saying I should install driver for OMAP3440. This is the driver for Texas Instrument processor that come inside tab.
Thank you
It is for omap4430 driver (not omap 3440)
Correction: when i have connected tab to pc, message is for install drivers OMAP4430, not OMAP3440 as I have said before. Very sorry for this mistake. :crying: :crying:
Anyone to help pls..!!
When you see the charging icon unplug it from the charger then try and power and vol down. Don't keep holding power for to long or it will hard reboot it before it gets to download mode.

Thank you RomsWell but when I unplug the charger and then press power and vol down keys nothing changes, just black screen. I think this tab is totally dead and another friend told me that I'll need a JTAG service. Anyone know about this, or where can I get it?
Thanks again

Love your rom btw try volume down, (for download), or volume up, (for recovery), First then hold/engage power button and hold, then release power button after boot screen blacks out and continue to hold up or down volume for recovery/download. Appropriate screen should pop up...if you get that far there are many options and I'm sure someone here can help you

Ok, I'll check it out and will let you know later, because at this moment I'm out of country.
Thanks a lot..!
My tab does this periodically...I usually just let it sit then hold down the power button and it boots. All stock, unrooted.

If you can get into download mode it may be a good idea to try flashing firmware through Odin to rebuild it back to factory.
I had the same issue after flashing the wrong kernel/ Rom combo while trying to get ubuntu touch to boot.

I had this same problem with one of my Samsung tab 2 GT-P3113 7.0's. After trying everything I could find online I decided to open it up and have a look inside. Opening a 7.0 is different than a 10.1 so check a YouTube video to see how it is done. After removing the back cover I immediately noticed that a small ribbon cable had some how become disconnected. I simply snapped it back into place then checked all of the other ribbon cables I could see and then tried to turn the unit on and it worked! problem solved!
If you have tried all of the other methods posted then you should give this a try, because at that point you have nothing to lose.
My Tablet gets handled by a lot of people daily and most likely it was dropped which caused the cable to be knocked free of its connection.
