Hi there.
Getting kind of worried and irritated at the same time. My phone has recently been turning itself off and it seems the only way I can get it back on is removing the battery and putting it back in. Lock button doesn't work to turn it on. This happened a few days ago when I was sitting by a fire so I thought it might be the heat, but even then, my phone heats up often if I'm playing games etc. it also happened just a moment ago when my phone was just laying on the floor.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Anyone..?

And what ROM might you be using? Stock or a custom one? Giving a little info never hurts

Dunno what a lock button is, but when you say the phone turns itself off, are you sure it hasn't just frozen? Next time it happens, press and hold the power button for about 8 seconds. If there is something still alive in the phone it should turn off/reboot without having to remove the battery.
And yes, lots of others have seen this type of behaviour. I have personally seen this freeze, "slow" reboots and "fast" reboots. Lots of threads out there about this type of stuff. I have no idea why it happens. I don't even know if its a hardware or software (app or OS) problem. And I don't think anyone else knows either ...
My phone was returned for replacement 1 week ago and it now appears to have been sent for repair / investigation / lost (take your pick).
I'm on stock rom by the way
I have the same problem. It started a few weeks ago. I had about 4 reboots/shut offs per day.
About one week ago it just stopped.
I haveno idea why it started or stopped.

i have the same problem right now, at first i believe that because i havent set a lock, maybe my phone turn off in my pocket by accident, but today it happens again just over my desk..... curious????
I had the older Sony Tablet S and it had that issue where the wifi would disconnect no matter what setting I selected (had to use an app to get it to stay on all the time). I was hoping that this would be fixed in the new Xperia Tablet, but it seems like the issue is still here. Anyone else have the same issue where the wifi is disconnecting after going to sleep? Another issue that I have is that it takes a long time for wifi to reconnect after going to sleep for long periods of time (at least 2 hrs). This wasn't an issue with the original Tablet S. One thing I noticed was that the wifi is having a hard time trying to turn itself on... If you look at wifi in the settings section, you'll notice it stays on "Off" and it'll try to switch to "On" for a split second. Not sure if mines defective or not...

Your tabletis defective just like the rest of us :crying:
Rebooting is the quickest way to restore than waiting for it reconnect or turn on itself.
The tablet sure had a hard time turning itself on :laugh:
Anyway, all jokes aside, It's sad to hear that the wifi issue is still there. I wonder if it is an ICS issue or just poor hardware configuration by Sony. hmm, will JB fix this? Does other ICS tablets have this similar problem? For the mean time, it seems like i wont be upgrading, not yet. Not sure if i had the patience waiting for my tablet to turn itself on
The wifi problem on the new Xperia tablet is actually worse than the original tablet S. Most people suggested using the free advanced wifi lock to fix the disconnect issue, which does fix it. However, let's say you don't need wifi because you're going out. If you turn off the app/wifi for longer than 1 hour (not sure of the actual time but I guess if it goes to sleep for a long period of time), then there's a good chance you will not be able to turn on wifi at all. Only a reboot will fix it. Someone did suggest toggling airplane mode but that didn't work for me. Sometimes the wifi will turn itself back on after 5+ minutes...
I think I'll just keep it since it is manageable and reboots are pretty quick. Another minor issue is that the power button is sometimes delayed... Maybe 10% of the unlocks take an extra 3-5 secs for the tablet to turn on. Other than that, I love everything else so far!
Same problem here. I have to reset the tablet to get wifi on again after it goes asleep for sometime.
Other than that I like the tablet very much.
My wifi is fine on my Tablet

This is all because of Sony customizations to the Wifi disconnection policy when the tab sleeps or the screen turns off. With all other manufactures there is no option for Wifi to turn off when the tab goes to sleep. It's either Wifi turns off with the screen or stays on when screens turns off. It's all software and it's easily fixable if Sony decided to do so.

Which wifi setting do you have your tablet set to? I've tried all settings and it still disconnects no matter what I do...
guys, I I bought this tablet last week and had the update but I did not update it yet but worked like a charm no wifi disconnects!
finally I decided to update it today I get disconnects every single time I put the tablet to sleep! This leads me to believe that it's a software issue not hardware, but I'm returning the tablet for now maybe buy it back when they iron everything out.

Is your tablet rooted? You can replace in build.prop ro.sony.wifisleep=0 with ro.sony.wifisleep=1 and restart. It will not disconnect anymore when the screen is off.
You don't need to reboot the tablet, all you have to do is quickly activate then deactivate airplane mode.
Nope, I'm 100% stock (too scared to root...). I think that updating the tablet was what broke it. When I first got it, I remember telling my gf that the Sony had fixed the wifi issue (comparing it to my older Tablet S). I also remember updating as soon as I saw the update notification and then the next morning, I told my gf told my gf that I was wrong about the wifi being fixed. I tried toggling airplane mode but it wouldn't work...
Got mine yesterday. Updated as soon as the update notification appeared. I dont have the wifi issue not turning on after a long sleep. Left it overnight and this morning It reconnected without hesitation. Very happy with my new purchase.

Only issue with that app is that if you want to turn wifi off to save battery, you have to shut off the device entirely so that the wifi doesn't get stuck(you could always risk it and hope it doesn't get stuck on you). I've found out that toggling airplane mode does work sometimes (at least 1 out of 5 times for me).

That's not correct, my samsung 7.7 has the option to turn off wifi when it goes to sleep and once I awake it from sleep the wifi reconnects automatically.
Woohoo! Just received an update notification. Notes say it improves the wifi connection (doesn't specifically mention the word disconnect). Will have to see if it fixes it.

I've received and updated my tablet. I haven't had the wifi not reconnecting problem since. We'll see.
Today I noticed that although I have my wifi turned off, from time to time throughout the day it randomly turns on without me doing anything. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking it may be some app or another turning it on, but I'm at work right now and don't really have time to troubleshoot it.

I too have noticed this. Here's a question that may blow away my theory - Do you use AT&T Smart WiFi?

Indeed I was using AT&T Smart WiFi. I just turned it off. We'll see if that seems to make any difference.
I use the dumb wifi (i set it on or off as I need to... need NFC tags now) and no problem what so ever.
Ok, so I stopped using Smart WiFi. I have not seen the wifi turn on randomly since.
Bet your battery life improved along the way...
Yeah, battery life has been improved. Although it's still not great. I'm waiting for a custom ROM to fix it, but Android OS uses like 54% of my battery. Pretty sure that's more than it should.

I plugged my phone in the car charger earlier and noted I had 49% battery left. I drove an hour and when I took the phone off the charger it was turned off. I'm not rooted or anything. This is my first Android phone. Would Android be considered less stable than ios?(which is what I've used for years)

That same problems happens to me when i unplug it or even just wake it up from sleep. It doesnt do it too often like it did when i first got it but im sure it will be fixed with a software update. All you gotta do is restart the phone hold down the power and down button ( on the volume rocker)
Just happened again. Plugged in car charger and it powered down. WTF is this?

I think the problem may be with the app HD Widgets. I installed it last night and the problem started today. According to one review I read, it was causing some guy to have random reboots. The developer responded that it is a bug in Android OS, BUT they released a fix in today's update anyway. Hopefully it is fixed now.

I won't pretend to know what the actual problem is but I'm assuming it's software related, but this thing does strange things when connected to a car charger.
Same thing happened to me twice while it was sitting in my pocket.
Pulled it out and it was off. It would not turn back on unless I held the down volume button and power button. My phone is completely stock and I do not have HD widgets.
Twice for me. I'm rooted and unlocked.

I'm on The Base .7.1 and i've had my phone reboot on it's own a few times (on .5 and .7 it did this as well). it doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing...i can be taking a phone call or answering a text, it can be sitting in my pocket or playing chess.
the only thing that is constant is that AFTER the reboot, some application or other has updated itself via Google Play. perhaps there is some conflict occurring when application updates are presented to the Google Play app? could just be coincidence, but it has self-rebooted many times now and every time it comes back up there is a newly applied update to some installed application.
Had a Samsung Captivate that did that, called "sleep death" and was frequent. ATT swapped it out saying there was a bad batch and it never happened again.
My LGOG did it once the other night; well it did a full reboot by itself. If it becomes an issue I'll take it up w/ ATT again.
Had it happen twice in the past 2 days just in my pocket. Starting to get a bit frustrated with this phone.
Had this happen to me at least twice. Funny thing is the phone died in the same general geographic area each time.
Both times I had over 65 or 75% battery left and I was driving a few hundred miles across areas with bad cell reception. on the way back from my trip I actually chanced to look at the phone because I half expected it to be off due to having experienced the unintended power down before. Phone was NOT plugged into a charger. In the past, driving through these areas would put certain phones into power saving mode where cell function shuts down or phone. I think it's related to driving without reception or just no reception.
Normally I can leave this phone sitting and it stays on and wakes up without a fight.
Called AT&T, they are trying to run me through the whole hard reset/phone swap process.
Wanting something a bit stronger, I got LG's number. They said I was the first person to report the issue.
Both companies suggested turning the device off and charging to 100%, although they were both general suggestions (still, I hadn't tried that). The LG tech actually suggested that I take the battery out and... Well I didn't let that go any further.
LG said I could send my device to them instead of AT&T, if I wanted. They don't presend phones so you'll be SOL for "5-7 days" but I feel better that they would actually look at it instead of just throwing it in a "refurb" pile when the screen turns on.
Anyway, call them! Press 1 for English, 1 for Mobiles, I got an answer in 3 seconds. At least help put this on their radar. 800-793-8896.

Stock.
First off, I'm rooted and have already patched my Omate TrueSmart Developer Edition with Lokifish Marz's security patch.
Device: 1900 1/8 TrueSmart Dev Edition
ROM/Firmware version: Latest
Changes made to stock firmware (if any): A few Xposed mods
Issue: See below, freeze, drain, screen not functioning.
Steps Taken: Restart, antivirus check
One day I turned my TrueSmart on (while off my wrist), went back about 15 minutes later to it and the screen wouldn't turn on. I though "Ahh, that's strange. I thought I turned this on." I pressed the power button multiple times to try to turn it on. It was already on, but the display would not turn on. The battery was charged already and at about 85%. I held the power button and felt the haptic feedback - no screen on.
Earlier that week, I'd noticed that the TrueSmart's battery was draining a bit faster than usual on WiFi alone, no SIM or GPS on. When the screen wouldn't work, I held down the power button for about 10-16 seconds (some Android Devices will restart, but not all, so I gave that a shot). - Nothing. I then left it alone for a day (didn't feel like playing with it after a long and busy work day). I tried to turn on the screen - nothing. I still got haptic feedback so I knew it was on. "Crap - now I have to void the warranty by doing a battery pull." Removed the screws, found the crappy water seal, did a battery pull, and turned the device back on. Screen worked - phew. The past two days it had been draining rather fast and the watch was overheating even though I kept it in about room temperature conditions.
I thought something was up so I ran avast! Anti-virus (I'm not playing the Linux OS' don't need antivirus software game - so let's not go there.) and the definitions/database took over two minutes to update (usually just 15 seconds) on a strong WiFi connection - strange. I ran the scan - nothing showed up but the scan mysteriously kept going away and I had to restart the scan a few times. Finally it worked even though I had to turn my WiFi on the watch off.
My question is - am I being completely paranoid or has my watch been hacked? Fast battery drain, connection issues, screen not responding, overheating - those are signs of spying and wiretapping, am I wrong? For the time being I removed the battery so that way if I am being spied on or hacked, the watch can't be powered on.
I've had the watch for only a few weeks, never installed any strange apps - all legit stuff. Am I crazy :silly: or is this something to be worried about?

As long as the apps that you have installed are legit, you should be fine.
I guess my only concern would be...how long did you use the device before installing Loki's patch? Did you connect to any network prior? It's your BT on? Is it set correctly?
As far as the overheating and other issues...I had the same. When I went to the latest Operative 20140318v2, most of the issues fixed themselves. Now, the overheating happens only if I am on a call for more than 10min.
Battery issues have become almost not existent when I patched up. However, I did find that of you upgrade to SL PRO...the juice seems to run out quicker....
I would install a good battery app that monitors ALL processes and hardware using power. I was able to solve a few issues this way.
But, overall, I really don't think you're being watched.
Good luck....

Well I already know you're crazy but...
Even with Ensec or Operative the firmware is still unstable. I randomly get greatly increased battery drain yet even when connected to WiFi with full packet logging nothing stands out as odd. The screen not waking up happens from time to time as well as soft locks are being caused by some apps. I suggest you install a system monitor app and see if a particular app is to blame. On one TS, G+ randomly sits there and updates the feed for hours without ever actually updating. One another, it's weather, then on yet another, no issues at all yet all three are on the same firmware and same patch version and option.
The probability that your TS is hacked is fairly low and I suggest looking at the more likely causes first.
Perfectly normal behavior of Android device
BTW - force (hard) restart on many Android device is vol up + power.
Vol down + power will take screen shot.
Of course, there's many Android devices so maybe that combo also works...
TS is half finished device and we are all lucky we have Loki here...
If we were depending on Omate that wouldn't be good...
I'm still waiting my October 2100 1/8 release and I'm quite sure I won't even open it...
I'll sell that and develop for something else...(don't like when someone treat me like idiot)

Absolutely another smartwatch...
I was really patient with Omate but this is too much...
If I have to wait almost eight months for Xperia Z2 I would f***ed them off and that's device that will work fantastic from the box.
But to wait something eight months to have 30% finished device (in a hardware and software way) - naaah...I'm (probably) out...
That's too bad, I really liked that idea and specifications but, if anyone wants to be honest - it just don't worth all that "hype"...
To completely relay on XDA devs to fix tethering and paring, to patch their incapacities and mistakes...to found their company and then wait for them while they are selling watch (newer and better) for a months...
Way tooooo much for me...
Sorry guys for spamming thread

@funky0308 - Totally hear you. Maybe the Neptune Pine (quite a bit larger but still) may be better when it's finally released. The TrueSmart is unstable in some ways.

Haha, we all are a bit crazy. Could make sense.
@mghtymse007 - I used it for a few days before the patch but I should do a factory reset and try to re-patch just to be extra safe.
