Samsung GT 10.1 Sleep of death

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...

Not true for me. My charger worked fine on my wife's 7" Tab.

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.

It did not work on mine. I ended up sending it to Samsung for warranty repair.

My first one didn't do that but this one does for sure.

my xoom appears to be dead (?)

Hello, android developer here.
The other day my xoom drained all the way to 0% (this happened overnight while I was asleep). I noticed right away because I use the xoom as my alarm clock. I ended up sleeping in that day (doh!)
Anyways, now the darn thing simply wont turn on. I try to soft reset (vol up + power) but nothing happens. I tried plugging it in via usb thinking I could reboot it with adb, but my computer fails to see the device. So its turned off and simply will not turn on. I've even let it charge for 2 days straight (green charge light on device).
Nothing.
What the heck man?

Dumb question.... How long have you held the power button? My Xoom (maybe others?) won't turn on unless I hold the button for 2-3 seconds.

Ive gone up to 60 seconds of button pressing...when it doesnt work one tends to go to extremes lol
I can't believe this, first time I've ever had a device die like this :-/

Did you charge it before you tried to turn it back on? My Milestone tends not to turn on after it drained below zero for like ten minutes until the battery has at least some basic charge again.

Try turning on right 3~4 minutes later putting on a yiur charger

If you really want the iPad, here's the perfect excuse.
However, if you want to save your Xoom, you might want to check out the Motorola Factory cable from Team Black Hat (Google it). If there was ever a use for this cable, your situation seems to define it. Your Xoom seems to think it's not charged (drained) or can't take a charge, but it sounds more like the former situation. The Factory/Programming cable obviously makes a different electrical connection and makes the Xoom think it's charged...something like that. Check it out.
Also, at least one person made one out of a usb cable and it saved his bacon. You'll have to do a search for his thread...it was a while back.
Good luck, what ever you do.

You need to make or buy the motorola factory cable. That will get you booting.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 is ded

Hi,
I was right in the middle of a meeting, my SGS2 was on the table and it kept flashing for apparently no reason! By flashing I mean going from sleep mode (dark screen) to lock screen. There was non incoming call or messages, no running application. So, as this was weird to me and it was disturbing every one, I tough it could stop doing this if I restarted it. I made a long press of the on/of key thinking it would reset the system! Since this time the phone turns off to never wake up! Is there something I can do to have it back to life?
Thank you for your help!

When I got home I connected it to the computer, I've wait some times as nothing happened I took it to press the power buton but, it was so hot that I had to drop it to avoid burning! I unpluged it, I put a fan on if and, I removed the battery! after a while I replace the battery and plug it back to the computer, the same thing happend! actually it is pluged to a wall outlet for about half an hour, it's not hot, just a little bit but, stil there,s no sign of life!

BRO!!! SAME AS MEEEEE!! (similar i guess)
In the night after i flash miui v4 and neak kernel v2.0.6 (its old..) i plugged in the power and went to sleep. Next morning when i took my phone for my morning news THE PHONE WAS HOTTTTTT (very!) Ok..... i did the usual and checked my cpuspy mostly was 500mhz and 200 mhz NO DEEPSLEEP! dafuq? Ok reason found... So i guessed it was the kernel issue and so i flash a newer neak kernel. From there i went to school. Once there i checked my phone and it was warm.... cpuspy states decent deepsleep so i guess its just me but after awhile it got hot again! so i gave in and flash siyah 3.3.2 (used neak in the first place as some games wont work on siyah)(after initial boot from the new kernel there was major batt drain!!! From unplug to me flashing the newer neak kernel i already lost 60% batt wts??!? But after flashing siyah kernel i was left with 14% batt from 40%.... ok never mind i will just UV UC and other power saving stuff which helped a lot on previous days. Those "did" help and yeah all was cool till about 6% when the phone (you can guess right?) got hot.... HOT! So i gave in and powered down the phone..... i pulled the batt and separated the two for awhile. After the main body cooled i replaced the batt and rebooted the phone. After booting the batt was at 4% after seeing the batt level i powered the phone down and left it that way. Not even 1hr later the phone refused to boot.... no buzz no light no screens no nothing! I had to wait a few hours before getting home from school (omg yes it all happened in school zzomg ) now im at home with my charger and all (a different charger this time made sure it worked first) and no matter how i try to boot the phone plugged in with and with out the batt it refused!?!!?! WTS IS THIS BS?!?!

I know nothing about Android, I'm new to this platform, my first smartphone was the N8, it has been stole, after I had an iPhone 3g I change for galaxy cause it was cheaper than iPhone 4 or 4s, andt it's a beautifull piece of hardware but, for all the rest I was disapointed and I've never liked it so much! I think I'm going to return to samsung to have an other one and when his back, I'm gonna sell it!

I think your usb/charger port is broken.. that is what happend to me. Try to charge the battery with an external charger to see if it turns on. Then get your phone to default (unroot/stock fw) if its working and let it repair. For me it just took 2 hours an i had my phone back for free.

Mine was fixed by getting a new battery but now it died of the same reason (something wrong inside with the boards i think) sammy better get me a new one

Tablet bricked itself?

Bought a refurbed 32GB WiFi from sears on Jan 2nd and had no issues except for a screen flicker. I was running a CM10.1 build from around Jan 26th and the latest Motley Kernel.
Yesterday I was using the tablet as usual, but I hadn't charged it in a couple of days
so the battery was getting low. After I got home from work I went to use it but the screen wouldn't come on. I figured the battery had died so I went to charge it, but I never got the powered down battery animation. I've tried holding down all 3 buttons for at least a minute and nothing is happening, and when I connect to my computer I get a USB not recognized error.
I have about one day to return the device to sears with the 30 day warranty, but I just thought I'd check to see if anyone else was able to resolve a similar issue before I do so that I don't lose all of my data, and the fact that if they do get it running again that its rooted and running CM.
Any suggestions, or should I just take it back?

AW: Tablet bricked itself?
One thing I learned from here, is that I never ever should let the nexus 7 run out of juice. Seems to be a death sign..
Jup, take it back.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Not a death sign.
You just need to let it sit on the charger for about 1/2hr, then it should boot right up. People panic when the device doesn't respond or screens start flashing, but it won't boot and they start mashing buttons and posting about their 'I think I bricked my device'. After a device has run down it might take a long press of the power button to get it to boot and/or sit on the charger for a bit.
Running the battery down should not be confused with the Sleep Of Death (SOD). The fix for an SOD is also a long press of the power button.

try connect to charger at least a half an hour, then press just power button for 1 minute. i had similiar issue, and it worked for me. if dont work, maybe you got battery connector loose problem. try search in general section about that.

I think my N10 just died.......

Hi All,
I was browsing the web a couple of hours ago and my N10's screen started flashing on/off and after around 10secs the thing crashed/turned itself off. Being an N10 this was not an unusual event! However when I try to turn it back on nothing happens. I can hold the power button / power button with volume buttons pressed and nothing happens. If I plug it in to charge I do not get even get a charging icon.
If it makes any difference I was running the latest Rasaber with Franco's r11 kernel and I know I had at least 40% battery left when it died. I have left it plugged in to the stock charger for around an hour hoping that something might happen but still nothing.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?
There was not a sad enough looking Emoticon to convey my sadness over the possibility my lovely Manta is dead......

Something similar happened to me but I'm totally stock. I Googled and the solution was to recharge the unit via my PC USB instead of plugging it into an outlet. I have no idea what happened but after a few hours of being connected to my PC it was back and working. Hope that helps.

I'm running the same rom and kernel combo. No problems or anything weird happened. It must be hardware related.

Did you try the holding-the-power-button-for-a-minute routine?

I would try to leave it plugged in on the charger for a while and see if it gets fixed. That usually solves all sorts of "wont turn on" problems

Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app

is it possible for the tablet to get overheated?

I have had that happen on stock.
My theory: it is linked to the 'battery status not updating'-bug. Your Nexus thinks the tank is still half full, while in fact you are running on fumes. It does not realize this, so no dimming of screen, no low power warning, it just goes full steam ahead, until the battery is totally and utterly and completely depleted.
Then, obviously, it won't start but it will also have trouble charging. You need to charge it for quite some time, sometimes try a different charger, and sometimes keep the power button depressed for a full minute for it to come back to life.
Now when I use my Nexus, I keep an eye on the battery status. If it does not go down, I know I need to reboot for the battery status to be read properly again. It is a bit of a bother, but not too much. The bug only kicks in after the tab has been lying around for a while sleeping. So if I want to watch a movie, I first reboot. As long as I keep using the tab (i.e.watching the movie), the bug won't 'activate' and the tab will shut off properly when it senses the battery is low, in stead of continuing and deep depleting the battery.
