Is anybody else having issues when waking their tab? Sometimes when pressing the screen wake button I get a black screen for a while. I usually have to wait and then press the screen wake button a couple times before the lock screen appears.
Other than this issue the Tab is great!
Any help would be great, Thanks!
Change your router wifi channel to a different number. Was an issue on xoom also.

Thanks, the issue still happens even with wifi off but it doesn't happen as much.
same issue
ok I've performed a factory reset and the problem is still there both with and without wifi
I had the same issue with my Acer. So I returned it. I now have the GT 10.1
Wonder if it's a Honey Comb issue?
So far I haven't had the isse on this device yet.

I was thinking about exchanging mine tomorrow but if its a honeycomb thing I may just wait for a software update
Are you using 3.0.1 or 3.1
I know 3.0.1 its not a wake issue its a crash issue where you have to hold down the on/off button for 10-15 secs to get it to reboot. I was hoping the 3.1 would fix this alas 3.1 is not yet available for the 10.1v
This sounds like a similar issue that some Transformer owners are experiencing too, SOD?
I've had this issue maybe twice. I hope it gets fixed with a software update.
Issue is occurring with the stock android 3.1 on my tab 10.1
ok just exchanged mine at frys and there is no longer an issue. If you were suffering the same problem i suggest you do the same. Might be a bad batch going around (ahh the price we pay for being early adopters). Thanks for the help everyone!
wierd....acer users reported similar issues.
I had mine do this last night. It was plugged in when I went to bed. Woke up and had to hold down the power button for a bit to get it to restart. Running 3.1.
Though I heard somewhere that it might be an app issue.
I'm also having the same exact issue. In fact, it's worse on 3.1. Now, the screen simply will not come back up until the device is rebooted. I know the tablet is awake because I can hear notification sounds going off.
I wrote Samsung's developer support so we'll see what happens there. Luckily, I received mine at the IO but it does make returning it difficult.
Odd, I have a 16gb 10.1 retail and haven't had this issue at all.
Hi, is anyone else getting random reboots on their tablets? im running 3.1 its rebooting like crazy yesterday it did it 3 times one after the other and it just did one right. is their a fix for this? ill greatly appreciate it if you help
~Thanks
the only fix I've discovered is that I have to turn off the wifi before idling for awhile. Mine only reboots after it goes into sleep, never when I'm actually using it.
yea it only does in idle, so theirs no actual fix to this?
I haven't experienced this, but I also put my tablet in Airplane Mode when I know I won't be using it for several hours or a day.
I do this to conserve battery life, but I suppose it's also meant that I don't see this problem -- assuming it's a widespread problem to begin with.
For now -- until we get another software update that might fix the issue -- try getting into the habit of switching to Airplane Mode when you're done using it. It only takes two taps.
Mine did it to me today for the first time while the screen was turned off. It never happened until today or at least I have never witnessed it. I have had mine for just over a week. I also put mine into airplane mode & have been all a long when putting it to sleep. I read in another thread that under wireless setting you can set so wifi goes off with screen off under wifi disconnect policy. I don't think that wifi does turn off though.
The only other thing that has changed is that I installed the Riptide GP Demo last night. I didn't play it until today. Shortly after I was finished I put my Transformer to sleep (screen off). After a few minutes I heard pop & just a single pop. I turned my transformer back on then off. I heard this poping noise a couple of more times. I finally restart my transformer & problem went away. It was a short time later when my transformer rebooted its self.
It does this only when docked to the keyboard. I have stopped using my keyboard for now until there's a fix for this. Lost a long document last week because of the random reboot.
I'm on 3.1 and haven't experienced this. Strange.
Does this once or so every day when sleeping, doesn't matter if docked or not.

If you have an sdcard plugged in the dock, you can try to remove it.
It worked for me.
more details -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120185
What did you change? Did you add an app, take an app update, change a setting, insert a new SD card?
I have never experienced a unexpected reboot.

But it is not!
Last night I put it on the dock, and this morning I took it out, but the clock kept on the screen.
I can hit the back button and access apps, but whenever I press the HOME button it goes back to the clock screen.
It behaves exactly as if it were still on the dock.
Does anyone else get this?
Does it have any relation to the sleep of death? Is it an indication that I might get the death problem if I use the dock again. I'm afraid now...
Help!
Paulo
Anyone please?
Have you tried restarting the device?
Restarting the device should fix the issue. I have to go thru a similar process with my keyboard dock.

Yes, restarting fixed it.
Stupid bug.
But I'm afraid it is somehow related to the sleep of death, and restarting wont fix it some day...

I used it this morning to listen to music while getting ready for work just like any other day. When I turned it off it has about 65% batter left and I set it on my counter. Came home at lunch and it would not turn on. I plugged in the charger and got no response from the device, no orange light nothing.
I brought it to work and it has been plugged in for almost an hour now and it still has no orange light on it and it will not turn on. Any suggestions for what to do or what might have happened?

I've had that happen twice with mine so far the fix is easy though:
Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds.
Press the power button again and it should come one.
Hopefully that fixes it for you.

Dude you are a FREAKING life saver!! I really thought it was dead, but when I did this it turned on just fine and was almost fully charged as well. Wonder what causes this? Any ideas?
Anyway, thanks!!

I would think it's some kind of problem, regardless. Software or hardware, who knows. Basically the 20 second power button as I understand it is just a hard reset akin to a battery pull.

It's definitely a problem but it's not a problem with just his Fire; it's happened to me twice. Once when I turned off the Fire while playing a game (not a hard power off, just a quick power button tap) and again when another app crashed.
This happens to some other android devices. I think its an issue in some gingerbread builds where the device wont wake from sleep.
This has been happening to me frequently since the 6.2 update.
just for the record I too have experienced this problem. freaked me out that is for sure. glad to see others have seen this, and hopefully it will be fixed. at least its pretty easy to resolve the issue when it occurs.
it's useful topic for me.
Kindle Dead
This is happening every day now. Is there a fix? I'm not sure what the frequency is or why, but once or twice a day is becoming the norm...it's frustrating
Rooted Kindle
Go Launcher
Android market Apps, etc.
Try disabling wifi and see if the problem goes away.
kindle dead not wifi related
Thanks for the suggestion. I disabled wifi and waited 3 hours; dead Kindle. I'll try anything...please help as it's quite a nuisance.
Thanks
Is this happening to only rooted Kindle's? I'm getting one from the wife for Xmas and was wondering if this is happening to stock fires as well.

This only seems to happen to be when i am not using the factory supplied power supply. You guys still getting this using the factory plug?
My Kindle totally dead. I can't repair it. I can't get acces to adb shell. Nothing. this is really sad.
Dead Kindle
Try holding down power button 20 secs then re-press it...works for me
I had this happen to me while I was in a work meeting on Friday. Thankfully I found this thread so I learned about the 20 second hold down thing. It worked like a charm and I have only had it happen once. For the record I am not, nor have ever, rooted the Fire.
It was pretty discouraging to be sitting in the meeting with a "dead" Fire and unable to look at the manual to see how to factory reset it because, well, the manual is included in the Fire....
man, I hate irony.
Same problem here. Several times it has been dead now. This morning again and the power had fallen without showing any steps for about 10 per cent. Wifi was switched off.
Any more ideas?
Now it happend two times in a row. After this night again it was "dead" in the morning. Are there any ideas what might be wrong with the device? (rooted, wifi off, ADW launcher, but not activated, some google apps like market)
Any ideas what could be done?
It only happens to mine (rooted, adb, Go Launcher) when I put it to sleep while it is in "Go Launcher", if I put it to sleep from Kindle Launcher it wakes right up. Hope this helps.

Hi
I have just had an issue with the screen turned off and not turning back on forcing me to reboot by holding down the power for 10 seconds. It was after a call and went off as it is meant to as i had the phone to my ear. When i had finished i went to end the call and no display. The phone was still functioning as the notification led was flashing when i double tapped.
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced similar?
Cheers
I had that exact problem with this phone when i first got it... it kinda went away after a while it seemed.. i haven't had that issue sense..
Try factory reset

I think it's a core android problem, because I had it on my Note 2.
Thanks guys
I did a hard reset last night and havent been able to make it happen again after numerous calls today at work. I think perhaps it was a one off bug.
That was one of the first things i did..
