Didn't even flash or root yet and my 32 grey GT died last night. It had been working great and was getting ready to flash pershoots kernel this weekend. Last night I plugged in after shutting it down like I do every night. Today when I went to turn it on nothing. I tried holding down the power button for a while and still nothing. I tried holding down volume buttons with power for extended period still nothing. I even tried plugging into different outlet to see if something happened with outlet and maybe drained the battery overnight. Luckily I got it from Fry's two weeks ago on Friday right when they came out and Fry's has a 15 day return policy but this makes me a little concerned... and that's cutting it a little too close.
Has anyone heard of things like this happening with the GT? I'm thinking I may need to see if they'll still sell me the extended warranty. I babied this thing and hadn't even flashed anything on it yet. I'm a little concerned about the reliability of the hardware... I'm not usually the one with the needle in the haystack device that goes bad but who knows... I'm already in withdrawal without it.
Is there anything else I can try before I take it back? Maybe try plugging it into the computer instead to see what happens? I can't really see what else I could do since this thing doesn't have a removable battery. If it won't power on I can't imagine there's much I can test with the SDK dev tools from the PC using the usb cable?
plugged it in with usb...
I do hear the sound of a device being plugged in on win7 when I plugged GT in and got the driver message in tray. GT still won't turn on. When I hold down the power button every about 6 seconds my windows machine machine makes the same sound you get when plugging in a usb device in addition to an extra sound at the end.
[email protected] well I guess it's going back tomorrow.
You got the sleep of death. This is a honeycomb bug that i have personally experienced in the xoom, transformer, and the GT. The way to fix it is to unplug the GT, press the power button down by itself and hold it until the you see the screen turn on and startto boot up. It may take 15 seconds or more.
If that doesnt work, plug it into the wall outlet and try the process again. If that fails also, unplug it again and try the process once more.
That combination seems to work for everyone. The only exception would be if the battery is completely drained. You would need to plug it into a wall charger for a few hours and let the battery charge, and then try the process again.
I dont know why this hasnt been fixed by google yet, its really annoying. I thought 3.1 would fix it but it didnt.
you should have post this on the general thread, but why dont you return it for a different one? problem solve...
Android Development is not for your Questions or Problems Please post in the correct forums
Moving to General
I think you got the battery drained .. for some odd reasons the android has leaky power consumption even when shutdown on occasions ..
Charge it up for a while .. wait .. correction LONG while ..
Hope that is the problem
Exactly the same problem, I have tried the hold power button but it is not working... any other work around?
Please Help
I chatted with a rep from Samsung last knight and he told me that I needed to leave the Tab charging for at least 6 hours and then try again... so I'll let you know if that did the trick... hope it does...
I've actually had this happen on two different 32GB Galaxy Tabs (the original one I purchased and its replacement). After powering the device down it would not boot up.
In both cases it happened about 3 days after receiving the tablet and with 80-90% battery charge remaining. I tried additional charging, holding the power button down for an extended period of time, and attempting to boot into download mode - everything failed to bring it back to life.
I'm not sure what triggers this condition my only suspicion was that it may have something to do with enabling encryption on the device. On the second tablet I didn't have time to do much customization or install many apps but it ended up dying shortly after enabling encryption.
Wow. This happened to me yesterday with my 16gb from Sprint. Had come unlocked,yesterday 3 days in, died. I tried all the suggestions above to no avail.
Took it to corporate today. Now waiting on replacement.
bumming*
Hope next one is unlocked
Edit**** worked. Lol. Guess I didn't try it again today after I tried charging it last night.
About 15 to 20 seconds and she's back!!! Excellent! ! Thank you so much.
Not sure now whether to replace it.
With another.

Alright guys after having a problem with my first Atrix, it was unfixable, but it was okay because I got myself a replacement.
So I got home and plugged it into the Wall Charger for an hour and it charged to 100%.
After that I plugged it into my computer, I was surprised that the phone just shut itself straight off. I ignored it and turned it back on. I then noticed that the phone could not sync to my computer no matter what I did. It doesn't even charge, like my first one. It does however show a solid green led. My first Motorola synced right away when I plugged it into my computer.
Are these phones really this defective? I'm probably going for another phone if I can't fix this one. Any help guys? Nothing was installed on the phone except my blur account. I have Moto Media Link and Helper installed on my Windows.
Do you have the latest and greatest USB drivers installed for the Atrix?
I believe this may be your problem!
I got them here.
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
I did not download the PC Charging Drivers though.
Edit: How is it possible that I get two defectives in a row?
I always talk **** about my iPhone and now I take it all back. Haha. Seems like whenever something goes wrong with my iPhone I can always just hard reset it or restore it and it's good as new. This phone seems unfixable even after factory resets and battery removal trick.
The phone is now showing the same symptoms as my old phone and it's just an matter of time before the battery runs out and the phone is left nonchargeable. The battery is stuck at 90% for some reason and won't go down.

I hate that AT&T doesn't carry any better phones than the Atrix at Bestbuy.
Update 2: Got a second replacement in the same day. Working as intended. For now.
My original generation Tablet updated to ICS yesterday morning. The unit is 100% stock, no rooting, etc. ICS seemed to work well, and I used it a few times with no issue, but this morning I put it into sleep mode for about 2 hours and now it refuses to do anything but flash the ee Pad opening screen up over and over. I tried removing the microSD card, pushing the power button for >30 seconds, plugging it into the AC adapter, attaching it to the fully charged dock, plugging the dock into power - nothing works. The only problem I've ever had with the unit was the power button breaking at the start, which was repaired after being RMA'd to Asus. This may just be a coincidence but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen? Also, any ideas on what else I could possibly try before calling Asus and getting an RMA? This is getting to be a bit insane. I have multiple other gadgets including a NookColor, iPad, Acer W500, etc. and I have never had a piece of electrical equipment give me as much problem as this Asus. Hopefully this is just a lemon and not an indication of their general build quality!
I have the same problem. Stock version.
add me to the list!
completely stock. updated successfully to ICS yesterday.
it booted ok this morning but then i got a forced-reboot in opera -- while viewing this forum, ironically -- and since then no boot. it stays stuck on the EeePad splash loading screen.
i've tried docking it, charging it, booting while plugged-in etc. nothing works.
where to now? can i force a factory reset using some key combination?
EDIT: SUCCESS! phew! i finally got it to boot by holding the power button in for 10s on the stuck splash screen. the battery on the TF was very low (it seemed to discharge very fast last night on standby --wifi off -- that's another issue) so perhaps that was it (strange though as it's docked, and the dock is fully-charged). i'm going to do a factory reset today and re-install everything.
Same problem in my transformer

We are hosed. At this point I have to believe that it is the update, although I guess it is possible that it is an interaction between ICS and some app that the other posters and I have.. I don't have anything unusual on it though, just the Asus stuff, one note, netflix, pandora, that type of stuff. I called the wonderful Asus support number which basically had me do what I had done before, plus trying the reset (small pin hole next to the hdmi out) three times - no help again. I also tried to see if my laptop would see it - no go. Now it's RMA time once again. This probably isn't the time for it but if someone wants to buy a 32gb 40 series Transformer with dock and case nows the time to make me an offer. As soon as I get it back this puppy is going onto eBay. It may just be a lemon, bad luck etc. but having to RMA an item twice that barely gets any use has just turned me off Asus. By the way, the power was about 60% when it went into sleep mode and it just stayed on sleep for about 2-3 hours, so if the battery drain is that huge in sleep mode there's a massive problem.
Same problem here after a few hours of sleep. Asus logo flashing on and off. Power and vol down til reboot worked. Battery really took a hit.

That's not a reset switch... that hole is for the microphone.
That's hilarious! That's what the "service rep" told me it was and he had me push in there 3 times - even though I couldn't feel any "switch" in there! Now on top of a dead unit (after the power died it simply won't respond even though I recharged it in the hopes that it would start up again) the mike is probably busted. No big deal, the RMA is already set up, but this thing is spending more time at the Texas repair center than it is being used!
Before you RMA give this a try.
Go to the Asus download site ( http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download ) and download the latest firmware (8.6.5.21) for your region(WW US TW ). If you dont see your country there it is probably WW.
Take this file and unzip it on your computer.
Copy the ASUS directory to a Microsd card
Take the file in the /asus/update folder and copy it to the root directory of your microsd
Rename the file(update launcher) in the root of your microsd to EP101_SDUPDATE
insert microsd to tab and reboot to recovery (power and volume down wait till you see words in the top left corner and press volume up)
Give this a try. maybe it will help get you back working ( athough it will be in honeycomb)
you can then try to update again( if you want)
Sorry if i double posted (browser is a little wierd still)
It's. The One Note app. MS is trying to sabotage. Hahaha

Did you get it to boot? I'm in the same boat updated to ICS, all stock. Used it till drained and the screen hasn't woken up since. Recognized in both ADB and APX modes. It's been sitting pretty on the charger for more than 24hrs and tried all possible power button combinations..

nope I sent it in for repair.
Just a quick update. When I got my Transformer back from RMA they had wiped out everything, put in a "factory fresh" ICS and it appeared to be working - since I was at work I did nothing whatsoever with it except make sure it could connect to wifi, I did not enter my google account, install any apps, etc. - totally stock system. I noticed that the power level was at 75%. I turned it off totally (not sleep). When I got home four hours later I tried to turn it on - dead. Tried all the usual stuff, plugging it in to the AC adaptor, power for 10, power for 30, power and volume down - zilch. Called Asus rep. and RMA's it AGAIN. I carefully included a long letter explaining that if they simply wiped and replaced it again could they please turn the thing off, leave it for an hour and try to turn it back on. Apparently no one in Texas reads these things, since I got an email from an Asus rep. saying they had found nothing wrong with it. I told him what was going on and he said he would pass it on to the repair center. That was over a week ago and it is still "in repair" so who knows what's going on. I've purchased a Samsung Tab and don't really care what happens with the Transformer (no offense, I know that many of you have been lucky with yours but mine has been so unrealiable that I no longer trust it for anything besides games) but I am curious as to what's going on here. Most units seem to just have random reboots or other problems, but can always be rebooted. A few like the ones on these threads however, seem to totally die.
Been on ICS from day one with no real issues. Last night the tablet had been on battery for a couple of days it had about 75% left. I was checking it to my Galaxy 10.1 and trying to figure why once in a while they woke to the lock screen for no reason. I check the TF as my son said he was unable to view youtube videos and found it working fine then I a game he had loaded and I put it to sleep. I woke this morning and the TF was dead. I tried to reboot but no go. I plugged it in and after a couple of minute it I was able to turn it on. Once on I unplugged and saw the battery had completely drained and the TF immidiately turned off. So I plugged it in again and its presently charging. Any clues?
Thats just the normal RR/SOD, which often causes the TF to get stuck in a bootloop, draining the battery.
Welcome to ICS.

Any way to fix that bootloop problem? It is intermittent for me when this happens however mine hasn't fully bricked (thank god)

Yes, go back to Honeycomb
just got the email that theyre fedexing it back to me.. hopefully it wont brick again. i wish theyd include what the hell happened..
Wish you the best. After I told them what happened they've been "repairing" the unit for about 2 weeks - whereas the last time they had it in "repair" for a day before they sent it back. I think that a quick "repair" means that they reflash the unit, which in my case promptly rebricked the first time it was shut down. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
Have searched the forum and Google and haven't found anything yet. Usually good at performing obscure random searches but not this time. First off, I am running stock rooted 4.4.4 NI2. Running xposed and wanam but haven't found anything pertaining to my dilemma there either. Onto my issue...
I noticed after I got the phone a couple of months back that it wouldn't be at 100% when I woke up. Usually would be around 97 or so... No big deal. I tested chargers (my wife has/and had an s5 before I purchased mine) and cables with no real difference that I could see. I figured it was some type of protection built into the phone so when it achieved a full charge, it would stop charging until needed. I was perfectly fine with this, but that wasn't the big issue. I have also noticed that if I plug my phone in to charge and end up having to move to another outlet or get into my vehicle, when I plug it in again it won't charge.
The screen will come on acknowledging that it is plugged in, but it will not charge for an extended amount of time. It is almost like the phone has protection built-in so that if there is an issue with a charger/port connecting and disconnecting continuously, it will inhibit the charging until it has a consistent current. I, for instance, am about to head to the gym and wanted to charge my phone before going. It was at 13%, plugged into my nightstand charging. My wife and son got home and are going to take a nap so I unplug and go into the living room to continue charging. It was at 31% and when i plugged it back up a few seconds later it would not charge. I kept it plugged up as i was typing here and it didn't resume charging until is over halfway through writing this post. (5-10 minutes maybe? Haven't tried counting it exactly... Yet) Haven't heard or seen anything like this previously on multiple devices (Samsung, htc, 3 nexus devices, etc.) and haven't been able to find anything online so thought I'd ask here.
Also, sorry if anything isn't stated in a way to describe things perfectly. If anyone has any questions or thoughts, I would truly welcome them.
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
My Nexus 7 (2012) turned off(not properly) when the battery level was low and won't power on. I tried a battery from a working tablet and tested my battery in another tablet. It seems like the issue is somewhere else.
These are the things I tried:
- leave it for a couple of hours charging (no battery sign at all)
- hold the power button with/without the volume levels while it being both connected and disconnected.
- tested my battery in another tabled and put a fully charged battery from another tablet
- made sure that the battery is connected
There was one more thing I tried - to press the Power button with no battery inside but the tablet being connected to a laptop via the USB cable. One could hear something like a boot noise coming from the tablet (doesn't happen when the battery is inside)
In December, 2015 I installed a Custom ROM with android 5.1.1 which I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/android-6-aosp-grouper-t3268172/ (the thread was renamed and is now about the Android 6 update) The tablet worked fine for these 3 months but one day when I was checking my email it went off and won't respond to any actions.
Could you please help me to fix it? I'm just not ready to give up on this tablet. Thanks!
Both you and i, same model, essentially, the same circumstances. I also tried every method you mentioned as well. Even down to the flashing of a rom. Same results. I even tried "jump starting" the battery. Not wanting to give up on it. It sits in my closet like that boy in A.I at the bottom of the ocean, waiting... I know that is not the reply or help you were looking for. Just so you know, you are not alone..

Well, that's a good start, at least I am not the only one!
Have you tried to connect your device via USB? My laptop can see a connected device but it can't recognize it and I hear some sounds coming from the tablet when I try to hold the `power` button. This made me think that it can be a display/screen related, so the device works but we can't see it due to the broken screen/display. Don't know how to check that though.
Same here, stock Nexus 7, won't turn on, just switched off one day and won't come back on, have tried everything as suggested above, can't get it to flicker, doesn't even register the power connection with a green light or anything

Try replacing the screen, just to check. If that doesn't fix it, at least you have a brand new screen!

I fix mine,
let it sit on the charger for a hour, then hold down the button for 20 sec
same issue here as well ive had it for about a year and im not able to access anything via my pc google help forums had no answer either, looks like we may be screwed..........
Hi, I just had same issue with my tablet only thing is that I was using it with ~20% of battery, nothing special - browsing the web using chrome, then the screen lit gray and shut off. After that no response either from charger, holding power button for 60+ seconds didn't work either, tried re-connecting the battery, still with no signs.
And then, I tried to plug in the charger and then pressing VolumeDown+Power immediately after connecting the charger. Suddenly got some response, that battery charging icon appeared, and it shows my battery charging, but from 0%. Still waiting to charge a bit until I can try to boot it.
I'll update this post with any news.
EDIT: When I connected my tablet to the charger it had that hissing sound, but after few minutes it stopped.
After 15 minutes of charging I managed to boot my Nexus7 with 7% of charge in it a that moment, It seems to work for now.
Summarry of what I did to solve my problem:
1. Opened the back of the N7 (I used a guitar pick for this) and re-connect the battery.
2. Then plugged in the charger and at the same time pressed VolumeDown+Power, battery icon lit up but went out, repeated step 1, and then step 2 again gave me animated battery charging animation which showed up for like 10 seconds
3. Waited for 10-15 minutes and tried to boot normally. And it works now

Honestly, I do not think it is the battery, I can see the Charge signal, and the Battery is showing 1,784 VDC tested unplugged and disconnected, my smart young co-worker seems to think POST is failing, I still never see a "Charging" indication.
Does anyone know , Is there a fail safe, say the battery is disconnected, and usb charger is plugged in, will i just see all 5VDC at the sub port, ?
I never see a screen flicker, DEAD battery sign, nothing.
co-worker, tried some things that made sense when he explained what he did, I would have to agree with him.
Now it is rooted, 4.x something I forget, Never went to 5.x did once early and did not like it, Back stock, ran 2 days no issues, Rooted again, 4.x still do not remember, worked great 3-4 months, Sons ran it to DEaD and that was it, put it up for 90 days or so, wife got new tablet, kids have Fire each, and here i am tabletless, CRAP, did not want to throw to much $$$$ at this thing, nor did I want to buy a new one.
