My problem continues
i read all, 3 days reading and testing, and nothing new about my problem.
I have a problem with rebooting loop. (i cant touch correctly the power button, didnt work, also all the time is rebooting, or staying without screen light, i cant explain correctly!!)
I did all, back to stock, tried install many roms and kernels, but nothing works.
the best thing that i did to use it for few moments was.. use the swipe 2 wake, with AJK - using Siyah v.4.3.3 ICS over the SHOstock3.
The swipe 2 wake not works all the time, most of time the screen only wake up when i receive a income call.
But continues rebooting, most of times when i shake the phone.
Any idea for me?
Thank you

Here is an idea. Get a new phone, or your phone repaired. YOU HAVE A FAULTY POWER BUTTON. With all the reading and testing you have done would have thought you had that figured out. Quit making new threads about the same issue please. I am guessing we won't be seeing too much more of you around here if you keep it up.
Good luck getting you power button fixed.

Had the tablet a week now and usually i hold the power button for like 1-2 secs and it powers on. Lately it somtimes does not come on. I keep trying and then it eventually powers up and i see the Samsung Galaxy tab logo. The battery has been about 30%-50% when this happens.
Anyone else experiencing this?
yes same here, had mine for a week now too from pc world. i think its a software issue as i have experimented with it a little and found that it tends yo happen when i power off with an application running. so far its only 'you tube' that ive isolated but there may be others. give it a go and see if it does the same for you.
to turn it back on keep the power button and the volume down button pressed for about 10seconds and it should switch on without any problems.... many thanks to the internet forums for teaching me that one.

Lately my tab has been turning off by itself and it takes me a long time to turn it back on by holding the power button. Has a fix been found for this problem yet? I'm a little worried that one day the thing won't turn on again. Sometimes the tab is charged when it turns off, and I'm never using the thing when it does, so battery isn't really the issue. Any suggestions?

Are you rooted? Running a custom ROM? Running any extra mods at all?
No, I'm fully stock,never been rooted. Willing to root if the problem can be fixed though through a rom or something
i've made good strides in combating this.
But, you must have CWM installed in order to flash.
When you are ready to do this, then head over to the dev section, kernel thread.
In the meantime, set wifi to never sleep, and see if that cures some of it.

To be honest if you have a completely stock machine I would call samsung and get them to check it, it sounds faulty. I work for a large computer retailler and haven't seen a single one behaving like yours out of hundreds.

Hey guys i have the samsung galaxy tablet 10.1 model gt-p7510ma and the screen wont turn on. One day i accidentally hit the power and the volume buttons and now this device's screen wont turn on! I am at a complete loss as to what could be wrong. i was told that i may have to flash it back to factory to get it to work but i cannot find any stock rom download links. i have never dropped this thing so i dont know why the screen would just go out.
Does anyone have any suggestions tips or things that i may try to get this thing back operational? Right now it is just a 500$ brick. Has anyone ever heard of this happening?
EDIT: when you hook tab up to computer it shows up as APX in device manager under unknown devices. I dont know if this helps but that a little more info.
Steve
have you tried charging it?
Apart from that I believe this is non-dev related, should go to Q&A section.
It might be that your device has hung. Press Power button and keep it pressed for 10seconds or something like that. And then try to turn it on again.
Sometimes it hangs like that. Especially if you are on some unstable custom rom.
/Edzz
it is actually running the stock rom I never rooted it or anything like that. To the guy above, of course I tried charging it that didn't work. It doesn't even show that it is charging on the scree. I have pressed and held the power button trying to get it into bootloader mode, but that did nothing. Wonder why the computer is picking it up as APX. Wonder what that is? Thank for the suggestions so far!
If you are on stock and not even rooted, then just take it back to shop or service for warranty. You will get if fixed immediately or working back in a week. Better play safe.
In your case I would do so.
/Edzz
black screen and apx on the computer usually means you're in the mode needed for nvflash.
i forget how to get out of that mode, but google nvflash and apx you should be able to get an answer.

Ha!!!! worked thanx. Was sitting here trying to figure this out and Viola ur method worked right away.
I know this may be a day late and a dollar shoprt but i just wanted to let everyone know that i was able to fix the problem using the let the battery drain out and than power it on trick. I dont know how this guy put this device into APX mode but that is the only way i have found to get it out! Thanks for everyones help!
Hey guys,
I've been having this same problem the last 24 hrs or so now. I'm running custom rom Cynagoen mod ICS 4.03. This is apparently one of the more stable roms out there. Prior to this I ran an alpha stage jelly bean rom which ran just fine until last night. After leaving the screen off for an hour or so, the screen won't turn on after pressing the power button. I reboot every time and that seems to work. Is there something I need to do here? Should I look for another rom, maybe a 3.x? Thanks guys

Maybe try upgrading your CM9 install. 4.0.4 is the latest flavor of ICS.

You could try reading the entire thread. Hold the power button down while touching the screen. That fixes the SOD (Sleep of death).
My power button stopped working today. I set it to wake in volume rocker. I can't restart my phone or boot into recovery anymore. My phone is out of warranty, so I can't send it in. Any idea for a fix?
Edit: it also seems that if I leave it in standby for too long I can't wake it with the volume rocker. This all just happened completely randomly today too...

try reading the other threads about power button issues before starting your own thread, about the same exact issue?
The only thread I found never resolved, so I thought I'd try my own thread.

There is no "resolving" the issue. Its H/W. Your ****s broke.
Fix it, have someone fix it, or use S/W apps as a workaround.
All listed in other threads.
Like the most recent.

what do you expect to get different than what the others got?
I don't know man, just checking. Some people know a lot more about these things then I do, thought maybe it might be software out something. Thanks for the help.

i had a faulty power button recently and it would keep restarting my phone basically anytime i touched it. i flashed 3 different roms on it to make sure it was a hardware problem and searching around i found that the phone is basically broken... luckily i was still within my the year for warranty so ive since replaced. im not sure if your power button just has stopped working all together or youre having other issues with it but from my experience you should start looking for a new phone
Damn, that sucks sorry man.. that's happened to me 3 months ago, luckily I still had the warranty...u might have to fork out the cash a buy a new phone... when is your next upgrade?
Next upgrade is in May. Oddly enough, when I took the back off to see if anything was visibly wrong, I tested it by pushing the actual switch (not the outside button cover) it worked. Then after putting it all back together everything works as normal. Hopefully it stays that way.

So I was charging my phone, and it restarted itself and now it's stuck in a bootloop!
I can't access download mode or recovery, it keeps restarting before I have the opportunity to press any buttons (hardware or on screen) and removing the battery does nothing either, as soon as I put the battery back in, the phone resets without me even pushing the power button
I'm using Temasek CM11 v8 with the "201113-1248-cm11-i9300-r3p2-linux30101-BOEFFLA-temasek" kernel
Is it recoverable?
I've managed to get it into both Recover and Download mode briefly, but both times the phone restarted within a few seconds back to the bootloop
Sounds like the power button is shorted out, fairly cheap repair if so.

Thanks for the reply. What makes you think that it's the power button shorting?
Holding power button for 5 seconds acts as a hard reset, everywhere.
That's a good starting point actually. There's no reason for download mode to reboot automatically. If it loaded then it waits for the events. Either it works until you do anything with a PC, or doesn't work at all.
hi
try using a universal battery charger and then try again

Ah Well I suppose that makes it pretty conclusive. 2 hours later and it's still bootlooping... I'd take it apart but I don't really know what i'm looking for and I suspect if it's shorting, something will need replacing or soldering etc. Thanks very much

I don't think I have one, I shall check though. Thanks very much
The issue of having it shortly resetting once reinstalled the battery sounds to me like a hardware failure, most probably hard resetting all the time.
A hardware repair should help fix this.

It's funny you say that, after hours and hours of trying to get my phone to work, somehow through more luck than judgement I managed to get it into recovery and flash WanamLite 7.2 (I figured it was the next best thing to stock, as I couldn't access download mode) and well... since then, touch wood my phone hasn't restarted itself even once... now granted in that time i've only touched the power button once, to turn on the device, but it seems like progress to me
So my question is, is it possible that I could of had a bad flash or something? It seems too coincidental to me, and I don't actually think the different ROMs have anything to do with the problem (that is still lingering beneath I suspect), but the optimist in me REALLY wants it to be fixed haha
EDIT: Oh and thank you tweetatoo for your reply

Possible its the well known multipleromflashed problem .

Interesting, thanks. It's just a bit confusing, it seems plausible because I flashed the ROM earlier in the day but at the same time, im not sure how much control the new ROM would have over the phone entering Download Mode... Mind boggling.
I'll keep an eye on it for a bit... and im still too scared to use the power button haha
Thanks very much
Download mode is entirely separate to the rom, I still think your power button shorted out (stuck down) as it's been reported many times before. If you have warranty then now would be the time to triangle away and return to stock for a while, just in case.
