I took my Tab on vacation (in the Samsung bookcase). I went to power it up and it's completely dead. I have called Samsung and after troubleshooting they have sent me a UPS label for an RMA.
We tried leaving out on the charger for 3 hours but no joy. I then called them back and we then tried a hard reset by holding the power and volume up button but no joy with that either. We even tried the power button and volume down button but that didn't work either. For some reason my Tab that had worked perfectly up until now has died completely.
Before I send this back tomorrow does anyone have went last minute ideas? I'm at a complete loss at the moment.

Thanks I just took a look at the thread. Nothing there useful that I can use to get my Tab working but it does seem that I'm not the only one with the problem.

Anyone else vzw xplay slow to wake up? I sometimes push the power button and it takes 5 seconds to wake. Am I alone? Maybe need to wipe my phone.

Ive had some experience of the power button not responding and being slow to respond. I thought the button was broken once, but I took the battery out and back in. And it worked fine , so it seems to maybe be a bug. Ive had no trouble with it for weeks now.

I've had the same problem. The phone doesn't respond to a button press to wake up the phone at all sometimes. Not even holding the button will wake it. I'll have to remove the battery to get it to reboot. Very annoying.
It seems very intermittent--happens just as much with a full battery as with a partially charged battery. This leads me to believe it's a software/ firmware issue, but I'm not sure.
I hope a fix is coming soon. I'm thinking of calling tech support.

Well my phone always wakes up when I push the power button. There's just a 5 second delay each time.

I get this occasionally, most often when using the phone. It improved slightly when I upgraded to 2.3.3, but it still happens. There is another thread on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1023045, still not sure what the solution is.
Out of habit I do not use the power button to wake my phone.
I have always used the Home button. I have never had a delay. Mine is a R800a though.
OK so I have a wierd problem with my nexus. When I turn it off it won't turn back on doesn't matter if there's a USB or not. After a few hours sometimes it works sometimes it still doesn't. This is a huge problem and it stops me from getting into the boot loader. Should I just go to the store and get a new one or is there a fix?

I kinda have the same problem too, sometimes it takes a while to power on. All i do is hold the power button until the google logo shows up. Try that.

Hey there.
First off I'd like to say that I currently own a LG O2X but I'm planning to buy a N4 as soon as it's available again.
Now, to my question:
Let's assume that the phone freezes and it doesn't restart or react to anything you do. You can't take the battery out to reset the phone. What can you do to reboot it? That kinda makes me worry, as I haven't used any Android phone besides my O2X yet and I encounter this issue sometimes and fix it by taking out the battery and putting it back in.
Thanks in advance.

Hold down the power button.

Does that cause the phone to reboot? With a freeze I mean a complete freeze. Touchscreen not responding to anything etc. That includes no power menu when holding down the power button.

Yes holding down the power button is like basically doing a battery pull. Take like 6-10 seconds.

Okay. Whew. Now I'm relieved and can't wait to get my hands on a N4. Thanks alot.

I hope that's a somehow hardware implemented thing that can't go wrong no matter how ****ed up the software is.

Yeah same here. Otherwise that would be disappointing and annoying at the same time.

I have not got my phone yet should be here in a day or two but I have been rooting and flashing for a while and when things crash I have to pull battery out. What do you do on nexus 4? You if holding power down doesn't work.

You're screwed then as holding the power button down for ten seconds is the only way to force shut it down.
It's slightly different than my N7 where you hold that power button to reboot, this one just shuts it down and I have to release and press again to start it back up.

It's just just like doing a hard shutdown on a computer.

My power button has recently become sticky. It takes a lot more force to use it then it does my volume buttons. I tested the wife's note 3 and hers feels like mine used to. Anyone else had this happen?
