I/O Edition Won't Power On

Hi Guys,
I recently moved and just took my I/O edition Tab 10.1 out to play with but it won't power on, won't charge, won't do anything. Any ideas?????
I had updated it to 3.1 and it sat for approx. 1 month without use. I plugged it in to the AC Adapter and left it for about 5hrs, came back and still nothing.
Help will be greatly appreciated.
Jeff

Best bet is to call the Samsung number on the back if the tab above the serial number. They were really cool and even sent a prepaid postage I just had to provide a box to ship it in.

someone i know went through this recently (was retail).
do this:
hold power + both vol buttons for 30+ seconds.
now see if it will turn on.

Pershoot is a genius.. But, if that doesn't work, try this thread out for size. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574
If that sdoesn't work odin the european touchwix rom located in the developers section.. I was stuck on bootloader and that did it for me.. Good luck man... I know I felt like **** when I thought I had no hope...

It is not good for a device to leave it unused for a month. The battery might be dead for good. Best practice is to leave the battery charged at 50%. This is what I read.... I am not an expert, and and I hope that this is not your case.

Update:
No go on anything. The unit will not power on and is not recognized by the computer.
Any other suggestions? I don't want to have to send it in.

Damn homie, if that thread didn't work for you I'm out of ideas.. I'm sorry. Looks like you are going to have to contact samsung..

Place two finger tips on the glass and hold the power button until it turns on. This happened to me a few times on my retail tab 10.1. It works for me everytime.

Did you try holding the power button down for an inordinately long time? I started panicking this morning when my tab wouldn't turn on and so I held the power button down for maybe like a minute then it decided to turn back on.

samsung tab 2 bricked GT-P3113 7" won't turn on but shows charging Icon

Hey Guys I need some help please!
I have a friend, which will be joining this thread soon, that has a samsung tab 2 GT-P3113 7" .
He is not able to power on the device, I suggested holding the power button down for 30-40 seconds but that didn't work.
He charged it overnight and he can see the charging icon, he then tried again holding the power button for 30-40 seconds...still nothing.
He informed me that when he connects his tab to his computer it says:" I should install OMAP3440 driver for connection".
Sorry , this is all I have, I'm not familiar with the tab 2 .
Thank you!

Isnt there a reset button/procedure? Like hold power button and volume up or down?
My P3110 will not arrive till next week so i can say for sure.

Try holding the Volume Down button and the power button. Keep holding them and you should get a warning about running custom software. If you get this, then you could download an Odin restore package and flash it to the tablet to get it back up and running. The fact that it shows the charging image is a good sign, Hopefully it can be fixed from there.

Yes, I did, but it doesn't work for this tab. Only there is a good sign I can see: the charging icon come up when I plug tab to wall or pc, and when I try to connect to pc, I get a message from pc saying I should install driver for OMAP3440. This is the driver for Texas Instrument processor that come inside tab.
I don't know if this tab is bricked or not, so I'm stop just at this step.
Thanks & thank you so much to spagman72 for his valuable help

Yes, I did exactly as you have said, but it doesn't work, nothing warning about custom software, just black screen. Also, pls note that when I try to connect to pc, I get a message from pc saying I should install driver for OMAP3440. This is the driver for Texas Instrument processor that come inside tab.
Thank you

It is for omap4430 driver (not omap 3440)
Correction: when i have connected tab to pc, message is for install drivers OMAP4430, not OMAP3440 as I have said before. Very sorry for this mistake. :crying: :crying:
Anyone to help pls..!!

When you see the charging icon unplug it from the charger then try and power and vol down. Don't keep holding power for to long or it will hard reboot it before it gets to download mode.

Thank you RomsWell but when I unplug the charger and then press power and vol down keys nothing changes, just black screen. I think this tab is totally dead and another friend told me that I'll need a JTAG service. Anyone know about this, or where can I get it?
Thanks again

Love your rom btw try volume down, (for download), or volume up, (for recovery), First then hold/engage power button and hold, then release power button after boot screen blacks out and continue to hold up or down volume for recovery/download. Appropriate screen should pop up...if you get that far there are many options and I'm sure someone here can help you

My tab does this periodically...I usually just let it sit then hold down the power button and it boots. All stock, unrooted.

If you can get into download mode it may be a good idea to try flashing firmware through Odin to rebuild it back to factory.
I had the same issue after flashing the wrong kernel/ Rom combo while trying to get ubuntu touch to boot.

I had this same problem with one of my Samsung tab 2 GT-P3113 7.0's. After trying everything I could find online I decided to open it up and have a look inside. Opening a 7.0 is different than a 10.1 so check a YouTube video to see how it is done. After removing the back cover I immediately noticed that a small ribbon cable had some how become disconnected. I simply snapped it back into place then checked all of the other ribbon cables I could see and then tried to turn the unit on and it worked! problem solved!
If you have tried all of the other methods posted then you should give this a try, because at that point you have nothing to lose.
My Tablet gets handled by a lot of people daily and most likely it was dropped which caused the cable to be knocked free of its connection.

Power button not working

Hi guys.
My Galaxy Note 3 power button has just completely stopped working. Is there a setting that turns off the power button functionality that I might have accidentally pressed?
Cheers.
Edit: I should elaborate here. The phone is switched on, everything works as normal but no matter how many times I try it, the power button just not do anything (holding it down, pressing different areas)

Did you try a battery reset? With the phone off, can you get into either Download or Recovery mode? That would eliminate the possibility of an OS issue.

I kind of scared to turn the thing off in case I can't switch it back on. I'll try it though.
Edit: It's dead. Taken the battery but can't switch back on now. What a joke.

It's a dud mate. Faulty unit.
Just send it back and get it replaced.

Just send it for replacement. There's a reason phones come with a warranty that covers manufacturer defects. Whining about it to strangers in the forum is not going to fix it for you.

Yeah this is definitely the least friendly of all the Android forums. Sorry to hear you have a dud unit mate. Get it replaced.

My power button is not working to turn the screen off. Long press works to bring up the power down menu or to do a hard shut down. It works to turn back on though. Seems to happen after I plug it into the wall charger. Restoring a nandroid backup fixes the issue.
Not sure if it's related but my PC's USB crashed after trying to plug the phone in and use USB 3.0 to transfer files. I had to refresh my W8 PC to get the USB working again.
I have the Sprint version, rooted and running JellyBomb.

I have the same problem. my power button is done for. whenever i need to start it. I plug it in and go into recovery and reboot from there. I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenoffpro&hl=en for screen timeout and lock. And you can also get exposed and gravity box and there is a status bar tweak to double tap the status bar to lock screen (put phone to sleep).

I tried everything then found the solution on another website
My note 3 has been with me for almost 2 years now and it's power button stopped working about 2-3 months ago. Until now I avoided draining the battery below 2% and was fine but just today I dropped my phone and it shut down. I knew that my power button didn't work because of hardware problems so a soft reset didn't work for me. What I found however is that if your power button is dead you can just very quickly remove and re-insert your battery and your samsung device (I have no idea if this works on other brands) automatically boots itself. I'll give the link too incase I wasn't clear enough and I hope this helps people who shared my worries.

Couple of things, 1) Did you make any changes to your phone? Like Rooting, bootloader unlock?
2) did you try to connect your phone to a computer and see if it is getting detected?

Nexus 6P Seemingly Dead

Hi all,
I have a Nexus 6P that behaved very strangely just today. The battery went down to about 23% and I plugged it in to charge (factory charger) and left for work. However, I came back and the phone now appears to be completely dead, no matter what I try. I've tried to reset the device by holding the power button, trying to boot into various modes such as bootloader or recovery, but the device just does not seem to want to start and the screen remains black. I've plugged it into the computer and it still continues to show no signs of life. What could be happening? Is there a possible fix at all or is it now just a brick?
The device was last booting PureNexus, Android 7.1.2 with the stock kernel and an outdated version of Magisk. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hmm ... A question helping to investigate the problem might be the following ... Battery went down from 23% to 0% faster than usual? I am not sure but ... 8 hours are not usual for 23% while Doze is active ... Not sure tho ... Just wanted to help the investigation.
Good luck with your phone, it's a value-for-money beast!

Well, I'm not sure if the battery went down to 0%, since I plugged it into the charger when it was at ~23%.
It's still currently showing no signs of life.

You can try going to recovery mode or bootloader mode while charging ... Actually try the following:
1. Press VolumeUp+PowerOn button and hold them.
2. Connect the charger.
3. Pray and keep the buttons pressed for 30 seconds
Generally play with some combinations of the example above. It helped a friend once with the same problem on a Samsung J5 phone, it might help you. Not sure why and how tho, let's call it glitch.

I've tried all of these, but unfortunately none of worked and the Nexus 6P is still dead

Next step requires some tools, search for them right now!!
1. Open the shelter ( )
2. Remove gendly the battery because it is glued.
3. (Optional and I am unsure about that) Freeze the battery for 2-5 minutes to ressurect it (li-ion battery)
4. Place back the battery, pray and retry everything mentioned above
Good luck

If you have warranty RMA it, if take apart could void warranty. Not to mention if you try your self, I would buy new battery. Make sure its OEM and is gd quality, with temp sensor.

I'm a bit confused as to who I would go to; I bought this device refurbished from Best Buy, but they told me there would still be warranty on this, and I believe it's been less than a year since owning this device. Would I go to Google or would I go to Huawei...or Best Buy? Thanks!

Go back to where you bought it from, or at least call Best buy and ask them, if it's their warrantee then they should take care of getting it from Huawei for you
