I was notified of the 10.1 update, and told it to go ahead. I noticed as I was going to sleep that there was a crawler progress bar moving (very slowly) at about 35% when I nodded off.
Woke up this am, screen on but nothing on it. All I can get it to do it reboot, display the Galaxy logo, then nothing. The screen is on, but nothing is on it. That's it. Sunk.
If it power it off (takes forever) and plug it in, I see the battery icon, but it is not animated. It then goes to the Galaxy logo, and to the BSOD.
I am NOT rooted or anything, so this is extra vexing. Any ideas?

So one morning I woke up to turn on my Nexus 7 (16gb wifi) only as usual and found that the screen put out some random lines or garbled. The kind of stuff you see on a TV without an input. Did a restore of complete stock and still same thing. I then left it there for about 3 days to drain complete battery. When I get to it the next 3 days, before I plug it in to recharge, I held down POWER+VOL DOWN and plug it in. Now it goes into recovery, and I did a POWER OFF, waited few seconds and Power it up to turn on as normal...amazingly the sucka came back to life.
Phew...I thought I have to RMA it.
Thought I throw it out there in case someone has the same issue.
Had this happen exactly to me today while watching Netflix. Had it working fine for 4months. All of a sudden I'm stuck on the glowing X. Every so often after restarting it, I would go into the 'static tv' screen. Still haven't been able to resolve it. Been trying to solve it all day.
Use the search feature. Your problem has been posted about and the solution given repeatedly. Good luck!
History:
Phone was warrantied after it locked up during KK update. LG Canada replaced the board.
Current:
Had it for a day, loaded everything back on (apps, photos, contacts etc..) and in the middle of uploading my backed-up videos the screen goes black. I can hear the tap/swipe noises when I touch the screen, but nothing brings back the screen. I try turning off/restart, holding the power button for 20+ secs, and confirming that it's not just in lockscreen. When turned back on, I can hear the LG splashscreen but the screen is still black.
Later that evening, I planned to set the phone to charge for the night and see if it was a battery issue. With the phone completely shut down, I plugged in the micro-USB quick charge and to my amazement the charging battery graphic appeared. I powered the phone up and everything was fine.
It has happened a few times, and all around when the battery reaches the half-charge level.
Anyone else experience this? Any way I can troubleshoot?
Should I just warranty the phone again - or get it replaced?
Thanks.
I'm having the same problem right now
Did you figured out what was the problem??
Do you have any solution?
Short story: my tablet either freezes or shuts down when the screen turns off. If the screen turns off, the only way I can get the tablet on is by holding the power button down until it restarts.
Long story:
My alarm went off this morning perfectly fine. As usual, I browsed Facebook and CNN. While reading a CNN article, the screen shut off (timed out). I hit the power button and the article came back up but was zoomed in on a particular spot, the notification bar was missing, and the touchscreen was unresponsive. I turned the screen off and back on, and all that showed was the dimmed background - there was no clock or apps and the touchscreen was still unresponsive. I turned the screen off and on again and this time nothing happened - the screen stayed off. I held the power button down until it restarted. The tablet worked fine until the screen shut off - and it stayed off again. I repeated that last step several times with no change. The screen doesn't turn on when charging or when plugged into my computer - and my computer doesn't recognize it.
Then I backed up the tablet and performed a factory reset. The tablet reset and I signed in and set it up. The screen shut down several times and started back up no problem. Then I left for a few minutes, when I came back - same problem.
I don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Today, my wife's completely stock, unrooted, OD2, Sprint Galaxy S4 phone stopped working. It was working earlier in the day (10 minutes prior), but when she went to check the time, the screen was black and it wouldn't respond. Tried holding power button, but nothing. Battery level was at 58%. I know this because I switched her battery with mine (85%). I discovered that after a battery pull, it will show the Samsung splash screen for 2 seconds and then nothing. After pulling the battery, I tried putting it into Download mode and the Download mode screen shows for 2 seconds and then goes black. Same thing with Recovery. I have tried to let it charge, but it doesn't show the charging screen or anything. Does anyone have any ideas on: 1) What might be causing this? 2) How to fix? 3) If permanently bricked, how to get first day of school photos that are stored on phone and not on card?
Yestarday my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 stopped charging and when the battery was drained i was not able to switch it on.
while trying to charge, first it would vibrate in very short intervals (twice in a sec) and later it started showing logo but would again shut down.
Somehow on reaching recovery mode i formatted my tab and rebooted it.
Now while opening for the first time after rebooting it shows that it is being charged but as soon as complete all the startup process it would again stop charging.
(plus i also sometimes get a faint line on display running horizontally at the center of my display. It faints further on use.)
Any solution please. Thank You
