Phone hangs coming out of sleep - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

So I rooted my s7 lastweek then flashed the sock rom to get back to unroot. I loaded all my app back and now when the screen goes to standby I'll see sometimes the 2 soft buttons at the bottom light up and off, then when I try to wake the phone up I just get a blank screen for about 5-10secs then wakes up. It does this periodically and I cannot figure out what is happening.
Any thoughts?

I saw something about Samsung sd cards causing a hang from sleep
might check into that.
I know mine did with my 32 gb evo card ended up putting a sandisk in it and its fine now

I heard problems with Sandisk but I've been using this since i had the phone with no issues. I re flashed and format the card and now issues.

HD2 Bug: No Standby mode, screen always on

Hello
My HD2 Worked well for a long time, but now everytime I press the "sleep" key it turns off for half a second then turns back on and proudly displays the lockscreen without me pressing anything. There is no way to turn the screen off and go in standby mode anymore.
Obviously the battery drains so much faster from not being able to have the screen off and this silly problem actually makes the phone unusable
I flashed a few roms using HardSPL and now HSPL2. I'm currently running Artemis 11.0, the problem appeared may days after flashing while using Artemis ROM 9.0. A hard reset seemed to fix it but the problem reappeared. Today flashing 11.0 only solved the problem at first boot.
Anyone had that before? Not sure if it's software/rom related or not anymore. HELP
As far as Ive seen, its only you an me who have had this problem so far.
Honestly, Im relieved to see someone else with this problem.
I had exactly as you described, but using Axlor roms.
It worked fine for 1/2months, then all of a suddon the screen backlight wouldnt go off, but a reset fixed it.
But it got worse and worse.
Now nothing will work...
Ive taken everything back to stock, and i mean EVERYTHING! Not a single app installed.
And I still have this problem. I've tried it all.
I think its a warrenty job....
EDIT:
I also noticed the backlight will go off fine when the phone is charging, is that the same for you?
I just sent the phone off to Tmob today, to see if they can fix/replace it.
I'll keep you informed.
Same problem. Was running fine on stock ROM 1.66 then backlight did not dim and would not go into standby. Put into standby, screen goes off then straight back on to the lock screen. Since then have had other problems at boot, sometimes it locks on HTC white screen needing battery removal, sometimes launches straight into Navipanel and will not exit, HTC sense homescreen sometimes launches in landscape and will not go into normal portrait mode. Reflashed with different ROM's same symptoms persist so have returned to Vodafone UK under warranty, fingers crossed.
i've had this on early versions of the rom i use, the chef fixed it, making me think its the software, not your phone.
I experienced this issue when I minimised a game called virtual pool. Closing it in task manager would then allow me to permanently make the phone sleep.

How come Ive still got the problem after reflashing several times and taking everything back to exactly as it came from the box?

I too have had the navi panel problem.
Im praying they fix mine under warrenty
Yes the problem is exactly what you describe, hard reset and flashing to a stock rom doesn t fix it with no programm running in the background
Navipanel seems to be on randomly sometimes so can I guess it could be related.
I found a fix, after starting the phone, plugging and unplugging the usb cable to the phone WHILE THE SCREEN IS ON fixes it but only until the next restart
Considering sending it for warranty now.
Thanks for replies! If anybody knows more let us know
Update re standby problem
Got my phone back from Vodafone UK today. Was advised software corrupted and that they had reflashed and it had been fully tested and was now working fine.
On power up (even without SD card or SIM) it had exactly the same fault as before, when put into sleep mode the screen comes back on after about 1 second.
I tried the plug in and remove USB lead fix and this also works for me until the next restart so it would seem that this must be a hardware problem.

What other options do with have if they sent it back without fixing it?

did any of you guys try performing a task 29 in between flashing roms? it may help

Thanks for this workaround. Now with the urgency gone hopefully somebody finds a lasting solution without the need of sending it in..
I have same problem guys after 4 months using. ...and my HD2 is unusable with no standby. I mean battery gets weak during 2-3 hours. Whats your guess guys is it software problem. Cause Im afraid of this is hardware prob because after reset goes my device in wrong state.
Help!
Sadly I'm running into this same error with my t-mobile hd2....getting serious power drain...can anyone confirm if the task 29 helped at all? Mine won't stay off for more than 30 seconds.
** Found out the google easy sms beta app I was running had a service which was causing the app to come out of standby...uninstalling this app cured the problem.
For me, it was a sd slot problem. When i removed the sd card, phone always waked up after 0.5 seconds, and card was detected as bad.
Now the SD slot was changed (under guarranty) and it work fine, no wake up if sd slot is empty.
Any update on this? My HD2 starting doing this today as well
And I have no usb cable at work to 'trick' it. The only option is to pull the battery which I don't want to do. This is ridiculous. Am I going to have to hard-reset the damn thing to fix it?
FYI I didn't do *ANYTHING* to my phone in a couple of weeks (no new apps, etc.) and it started doing this out of the blue.
You hit the red 'end call' button and it goes black..then comes right back on.
The odd thing is it *thinks* its plugged in because the only screen setting I can get it to acknoweldge is the 'backlight level when charging'. So somehow my phone thinks its plugged in even though my only usb cable is back home.
Grrr. No registry tweaks or temp files I can delete to reset this behavior?

Screen sleep timeout...then reawakes 10 seconds later?

For some reason when my phone times out and attemps to sleep is wakes right back up on its own. Anyone else experencing this?

Yes. It happens on my girlfriend's Epic consistently. I read a complaint on the Sprint website about it as well. I have Captivate and have never experienced, but appears to be a problem with the Epic.
My stock Epic goes to sleep mode without any issues. Try checking to see if there are any programs running in the background and make sure you have "Power Saving mode" checked in settings also having your phoned modded/rooted might effect the stock sleep state setting.
Same thing on my wife's epic. Pretty annoying, not to mention bad on the battery.

Phone is stock, power saving mode on, used Task Killer to close any apps that could be causing it to stay on, no luck. Setting an unlock pattern does not change anything either (not that I really thought it would).
It seems like a bug to me because the screen clearly times out after however long you have it set, but then very shortly after comes back on and does not time out again.
I have the same problem. It seems to be an issue with the micro SD slot. When I remove the card and start up the phone, there is no problem. But, if the card is in when it starts up, the screen will timeout after 15 seconds, but turn right back on a couple seconds later. I've also noticed that problem persists even when an unmounted card is present in the slot, but as soon as I take the SD card out, the issue resolves. I've tried two different micro SD cards and the same thing happens with both, so it must be an issue with the actual slot.
Samsung has no idea how to fix this problem. I've sent my phone in to them twice and they have not fixed the problem at all.
I know this thread is very, very old, but I haven't seen this answer posted elsewhere, so hopefully this helps.
I had same problen since owning this phone. Try odining the stock rom. For me, I was accustomed to lock it with power button as this doesn't make phone wake up.
Right now I'm on leak gingerbread rom and I dont have problem with phone waking up by itself. So if you are really annoyed try gingerbread rom. I recommend randomking's rom. Stock leak rom doesn't have issues with Phone waking up.

Nook Color Won't Turn On

So I got my Nook Color a couple of days ago. I've been using CM7 off the SD card, but when I just went to turn it on nothing happens. I took the SD card out, still a no go. I even tried using a cwm from sd card thing, nada. The Nook doesn't turn on at all. any ideas?
Try plugging in the nook and leaving it for a little while. Sometimes that helps it reset itself.
Try holding down both the power and the nook button simultaneously for awhile untill it reboots sounds like the sod (sleep of death) hit you. Google it!
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
Have you tried rebooting your Nook? Hold the power button for 10 seconds or so, then release it and hold it again for a couple of seconds until the screen flashes white.
I just left it alone for a while and when I picked it up a few hours later it came on. It happened again today, I turned off the screen for a minute, went to turn it back on a and nothing happened. Just a black screen. Interestingly, it was still running though, because when I hit the volume keys the tone sounded. I just held down the power button till it turned off and then turned it back on and it booted right up. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Edit: I forgot to mention I'm now running CM7 from internal memory, so its not just instability from running it from SD

I was under the impression that in sleep of death the nook is inoperable, ie the volume keys wouldn't work. Is that inaccurate?

No, for some odd reason sometimes you can hear sound and the volume keys will work. Nothing else will.
To fix SoD: set up two profiles in tasker. One for wifi off when screen is off and one for wifi on with screen on.

tasker fix, good to know, had this happen the other day to my nook
Glad I came across this thread. I updated my ROM to CM7.1 earlier this week and have been enjoying it. Came home today and couldn't get my nook color to turn on. Was starting to panic that it had died. Thankfully it was the SoD and I got it back on.
Thanks for the quick tips on how to get it back up and running.

No deep sleep

All of the sudden my phone refuses to go into deep sleep, it stays at 300mhz according to cpu spy. Not even if I switch to airplane mode the deep sleep works. This has happened a few times in the last week. A reboot fixes it for a while. Do you think it's an app that is misbehaving? Has someone else seen the same thing on their phone?

I had the same thing once I got my Note 4. Turned out that it was my micro SD card, which I popped straight into my new phone from my old phone (an LG). It may or may not be your cause too.
I ended up reformatting it through Android (after copying all my files to my pc). After that, I put all my data back on it. It's been about a month now with my phone always deep sleeping.
If you have a micro SD card in your phone, then remove it for a while to see if the phone sleeps. If so, then backup any wanted files from it, pop it into the phone, and reformat it. Afterwards, you can put your data back on it.
If this isn't your problem, then yeah, it could be an app.

I don't have any SDcard. Hopefully it is an app that is causing the problem. Right now I have uninstalled all the apps that I have installed lately. Let's hope this helps.
The problem seems to start after I charge the phone and pull if off the charger. But as I said, it started last week. I haven't had the problem before and I bought the phone in early November.

If it didn't do it before, then it shouldnt be a hardware problem unless something just randomly broke. As long as the phone isnt getting real hot or anything weird like that, then that shouldnt be it.
I think it may be an app. If uninstalling everything fixes it, then you can reinstall the apps one by one until it happens again. Wait like a day inbetween reinstalls.
If that doesnt help though, then do a factory reset (last resort).
GOOD LUCK!

My problem seems to be fixed now. I did uninstall some apps but that didn't seem to help. I then turned off the phone, pulled the battery for some minutes, put it back again, booted to recovery, wiped cache and then restarted. Since then it's been OK. I have an uptime at 350h right now. It must has been something that had got stuck before. Hopefully it doesn't happen again! Now I'm waiting for lollipop

SD Card Notiftion keeps popping up - Help !

This notification keeps popping up a couple times a day. I've formatted, mounted, unmounted the card and it's still haunting me.
Is there any way to stop this?
Its a standard firmware thing it seems. Everyone with sd card gets it

Does it only happen after a reboot? If so that's normal and there doesn't seem to be a way of supressing it.
If not then you may have an SD card problem. Some people have complained that the SD card keeps getting unmounted due to errors.

I also have this but only after reboot. I don't have issues this unmounted card. I think you're right that's the sd card is maybe the problem. I have a Samsung evo 64gb in it. Used it in my s5 before.
I tried re sitting the card but no luck. I ended up removing it for now. Not happy cause it's never happened before with any other phone
The card stays mounted and works 100% but I keep getting that notification with no reboot involved.
You can just clear it away but it still rears it's ugly head a couple times a day.

At least I'm not alone.
I'm getting it at random times, mostly when the phone is off. I even remounted the Samsung Evo+ 64G to make sure it's on correctly. It's happening and it's annoying.
PNY 64 GB high capacity and it's driving me insane. Even if I unmount it the phone automatically mounts it every so often!!
I get the same message when I power down and back up and thats on a samsung evo+.. haha

The notification presents itself when the SD card mounts, which is why you receive it every time you reboot. If you see it during normal use then the card is being unmounted and remounted for some reason. This means there is an issue either with the card, the card slot or a system process crash.

I will reseat the card when I have a chance and let you guys know. I've been having a few weird issues with this phone though. I can't enable System UI options by holding the settings icon in the notification center... it just never spins, my battery drains very fast in use and this SD card thing.
I am also getting these annoying SD Card notifications. Mine happen every time I turn the phone off. The notification is there when I wake the phone back up.
The card is a SanDisk 64gb Extreme Pro.

I tried 3 different SD cards I had laying around and they'll all kept getting unmounted.
Here's how I fixed it: of course make sure than both the SD and the sim card are properly sitting on the tray , then SLOWLY insert the tray straight from all angles. When I say slowly it means between 8-15 seconds and NOT with a swift push!
There is a notification you can turn off so these stop. I believe its in the My Files app from samsung. turn off the notifications and it should go away.
( i may be wrong on the app, i had a bunch i turned down. finding running programs was not as easy to find as my old note)
Wonder if the Samsung Pro + card is the problem?
Was going to get the 200GB Sandisk for the same price but went for the Pro + as I thought it would be better.

I was having the same problem, then I remembered the "OK Google" notification from android wear watches.
Follow along here.
This was a notification that people could not get rid of, it just sat there every time they turned the watches on.
Then people realised that it started dissapearing on its own.
Then we realised that it was set to appear until you used it so much, sort of like a reminder that it was there and then it would disappear.
Finally people realised if you just woke the watch up and said ok google a few times it would go away for good.
Still with me?
If so you might know what I am saying already.
If you use the SD card for a while the notification will go away and not come back.
I took about 20 pictures with the camera set to store pictures on the SD card and it went away.
My wife took a 20 second video and hers went away.
TLDR, Use the SD card, the notification is just a reminder that it is there and available.
