I am currently using this tablet at a laptop replacement, mostly for school. I want to know if there is a setting or app that any of you know of that works in a similar way to a PC setting where you close the lid, and the device sleeps until you open it and tap the screen/mouse/etc, and after a few seconds, you are back where you were before.
With a PC, I like that I can close the lid put it in my bag and trust that:
A. it will not overheat in my bag.
B. The charge will be more or less the same a few days later, or even a week later.
I want this on the tablet. If I am not using it, I don't want it doing ANYTHING, but I don't want to have to power it off each time.
Is this possible?

Go to settings Power Saving mode have wifi to turn off when screen is off. Turn any sync off on your social networking apps and google sync.. These will all help you . There is no HIBERNATE TO DISK THE Feature you are talking about on your laptop

Thank you. After a little digging around I found an app that immediately puts an android device into deep sleep when the screen is turned off. This is more or less what I am looking for. It's called..."Deep Sleep Battery Saver."
There are also a few apps that automatically wake /put to sleep an app when you open/close the lid.
Works via special cover or via light/proximity/movement sensor.

It's not so much the LID part that I need, it's the sleep part, and the battery savings that go along with. I have been looking at those "Auto Sleep/Wake" folios.
Sadly, I doubt this app will allow the tablet to spend nearly no energy in deep sleep the same way that most laptops do, but I'll take what I can get.

What app do you use?
None?
It's a setting in WiFi options. Just takes about 5-25minutes after screen off till it shuts down WiFi.
If you want it instant use Tasker.

XDA2,
Well i dropped my phone, and it hit the on/off button, phone still works, but cant turn the unit off, this is the button in the top left hand corner.
Can this button be replaced??, if so, where can i get one, and is it possible to fit at home???.
Regards clumsy git.
I don't think so... The switch is soooo small! I think you can't fix the problem by yourself
I've had the same "problem"... sh... so I send the unit to repair....
chris
this might be something for you, it doesn't repair the button but it does allow you to shut down the XDA:

mmm, that s/w works for getting the device OFF
But how on earth do you manage to switch it ON when it is allready off??
There are replacement cases for sale (saw some here), so maybe someone also sells the buttons.
There is a thread on opening the case (that guy had trouble with his speaker and / or mic).
Good luck with it!
You have the same problem as I did lofty The Switch you will find has been snapped off the circuitry mine was in a metal case so no visible damage was on it (It still looked brand new) so i sent it back and got a new one
Hi all
i did exacly the same and it snapped off the switch although it was still in there as i could here it rattling around so i took it apart and soldered it back on... good as new.. youll need a needle nose soldering iron though.. really easy to do...

Why don't you switch on using e.g. the green phone button or one of the other hotkeys?
round about solution
I dropped mine in the case as well and the on off switch broke. I use the red phone button to turn the unit on and assigned using a program called handymenu from Dinar soft - quick action another button on the side as turn off and this system works for me.
Alan
or unlock the buttons so that anytime you press any the unit turns itself on. just be careful of accidentally making a long distance call to iceland. saves you the trouble of mapping or dedicating one particular hardware button for a task. you can then turn off the unit via the method suggested by rey; or use tdlaunch to put a power off icon on the today screen (or put it on the today menu).
cheers
a lot of people are reporting this problem when the phone is off

The way I see ut is that the button panel has its own backlight and is meant to turn on in complete darkness, but some evo's do it when the phone is off given enough power since the panel's software run a separate lower powered chip, but I'm no engineer. It can be fixed with a firmware update, probably.
Mine did this once. I turned it back on and killed a bunch of apps with advanced task killer, and then it quit. Think it was just a fluke because it hasn't happened since.. and that was about a week ago. If it's happening constantly even after reboots, I'd assume you have installed something that is acting retarded in the background.
actually it's not a software problem... I hard reseted and kepted the phone clean and checked at night. still LED problem being lit. I took it to a store and they are willing to replace the phone
Yes this happens to me alot and i have to remove the battery and put it back in i left the phone like that for 10 minutes and i click every button but does not come back on so have to remove the battery
My wife's has been doing that and it will not stop. Ive rebooted cleaned all apps and nothing. I'm trying to return it but am waiting for bestbuy to call me when they get more phones. Any one have a solution?

wish i had that problem. i really have no need for back lights on the menu. the bleed they cause is terrible when looking at dark movies.
on the droid, in froyo at least, the menu buttons dim when watching a movie or you can use LEDsHack to turn off the lights.
I posted this issue a couple days ago and got no replies. I have noticed this issue on my phone. Sometimes pressing volume up/down will cause the lights to come on too.
I wonder if this is the cause of poor battery life. It's almost as if the light sensor is still functioning when the phone is supposed to be sleeping.
I noticed this also on both mine and my girls 0002 models... You can see it during the day too if you cup your hands around the bottom of the screen just over the buttons and look under. Wasn't sure what that was all about. Looks like just another glitch to me.
Is this good enough reason to request exchange? Does this drain battery faster in any way?

I thought the whole time that the "glow in the dark" was a feature. Its something I certainly don't mind, as I have found it rather useful.
But since its not a feature... then... defect? Haha. Well, this EVO is going back to the store anyway.
Hi, I was just wiping it down with lightly moist cloth and this hapenned.
I ve tried to disassemble device, disconnect battery but it doesnt help.
Any ideas?

Ow! That looks like one very unhappy Nook
The screen will not change unless there is an input to change it. So if you disconnect the battery and just reconnect it, maybe nothing will change? Did you try turning it off/on? (I'm sure you probably did). Can you connect via USB? If you have ADB access you could issue a reboot command and see what happens.
It seems unlikely that lightly wiping the screen could damage it--assuming that the screen was not "active" when you were cleaning it.

I was very suprised myself that something like this happend without dropping the device or anything more serious.
I have tried turning it off and off, it works perfectly (usb connection, all buttons) apart from this screen issue.
Going to look up how to issue that reboot and check in soon.
Thanks for your response !

The other thing that occurred to me is you might try the clear screen app from the PlayStore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lggfc.nookclearscreen
If you have a way to install that and can run it, it may show whether the screen is responding to refresh commands.
Update.
Cant find any instructions on how to reboot device through usb/pc. Cant even unregister it as half of the screen is just covered in static image.
Any suggestions?

Um...well I guess even if you had SearchMarket on your NST you would not be able to make any sense of it on that screen. Then again, if I post the apk file and you install it via ADB I don't see how you will make it work.

Hello everyone!
Well... the story of my Nexus 4:
I have my Nexus since June 23, 2013. In 2016 it started acting up... It randomly shuts down(It will not reboot, only shut down). Power button needs to be pressed hard to power up(to lock-unlock as well)... so I have decided to change the battery. Bought one from a trusted website(they claim is original) for 17,95€. Replaced it. From my tests it was worse than the original. Phone still randomly shuts down , battery % spiking... it would randomly drop 5-10-15% (same for charging). Then I rooted the Nexus and installed a custom rom - Nitrogen-OS-mako-20161230(it will still randomly shut down but not that often). After just 1 month the battery swelled up. Replaced it within the guarantee. Same thing happened after about 3 months to the second battery. I searched on the internet for fixes but no luck... I disassembled the phone again and I installed the original battery that came with the phone and replaced the usb port(maybe this would fix it?)(no it didnt... but it fixed something tho... the power button works smooth again.. dont have to press it hard anymore.. whaaat?), flashed back the original rom 5.1, no root only unlocked bootloader. Still getting random shut downs... at this point I have no more options.
3 days ago I rebooted the Nexus into SAFE MODE. Battery is at 40% after almost 3 days! No random shut downs. WHY?
Can someone explain to me why the Nexus is working like the first day in SAFE MODE?
I have to mention that the Nexus had no apps installed... only the stock ones when it shuts down so... eliminate the possibility of an app causing this.
I dont use it as my main phone but I do have a SIM card in it. I only use an app when I go to the toilet which is Twitch and it works fine in safe mode
So what is safe mode? Why safe mode is so kind to the battery?

Nexus just rebooted by itself into normal mode while it was charging... wtf!!!!!!!
Nexus just rebooted by itself after 43-44 hours (100% battery down to 60% in normal mode).
After just 15-20 min Nexus just shut down by itself doing nothing on it.. just found it like this... what can I say... F... LG and F... this phone... Thread can be closed... If you have the same problem as mine has.. dont bother... F... IT!! Go get a new phone.
I'll advice you to go to your official LG repair store for battery replacement, batteries online are not reliable at all.
Ps: Safe mode in android is just your default apps and settings but no 3rd party apps that you have installed so technically its less resource consuming and hence better battery life.
Here is the deal both Google and System UI crashed on my S5e last night while I was reading and now I am unable to reboot/power down the tablet using either the Power button or the onscreen controls. As you can see it is just the 2 onscreen buttons that I get and n othing happens expect they dissapear when I try and tap either. Also I am unable to use ADB in this sitution to force a reboot/power down as can be seen in the second image. At this point I am at a lost on what to do besides wait for the tablet battery to die which in its current state could take days if not a week+ considering that nothing is showing up.

You try a 20+ second long press on the power button (if that's correct for that model) to do a hard reboot?
Yes I have I have held the button for a bloody minute aka 60 seconds and no reboot/poweroff

The only other thing you can do is physically disconnect the battery or wait for it to discharge.
If you get it to reboot go into safe mode and backup all critical data. Then factory reset.
If that fails it will need reflashed or the hardware issue causing it fixed.
That is what I thought and as I said it can take up to a week+ for this to discharge since it was nearly full when it happened
If you used a SD card as a data drive and it's not encrypted at least the data can be salvaged.
It may not be as bad as it looks but I'm thinking a mobo failure. I've never seen this type of behavior with any of my Samsung's.
Recertified ones can be had for $200 or so but will likely be upgraded to the latest OS version for it. If you're running on Pie you may not like it.
I bought this one for $275 back in 2021 and ended up receiving a used one when Amazon said it was suppose to be new so yeah something like this was bound to happen sooner or later

I would've returned it. I use one vendor where I got a new N10+ a little over a year ago. His prices aren't real low but he's trustworthy. Their price is $600 for your model. He buys lots of unsold new devices. There's lots of scamming going on, something I noticed when I was shopping.
Apparently you have to hold power and volume down to force power off a Samsung device so you missed a step there. Also the tablet seems to be working fine now after doing so

Correct. Hard reset is both buttons; something I never have to use. However long pressing just the power should force it to shut down.
Try clearing the system cache from the recovery menu.
