ive searched for things such as "sleep crash", "sleep bug", "screen wont turn on" etc. but can seem to find anything that tells me anything other than turn off wifi (which i tried to no avail). My issue is that when i press the power button for 1 second to turn off my archos 70 screen it will not turn back on. Same thing happens when i let it fall asleep. If i leave it plugged in and not allow it to turn off screen i have no issues. My apologies if i just don't know what words to search for ... i tried. In on the .4 firmware (latest) with no mods. This has happened through the last 3 firmwares from archos. Any ideas?
Have a you tried a full reinitialization (in settings > repair and formatting) and then reinstalling the latest firmware? If you have just been updating the firmware, the problem may have been deeper.
Thats strange... I have a similar issue with my 101: when i leave my tablet asleep for more than 20min, I can't turn it back on without doing a hard reset. Now it only happens when I simply shut off the screen and leave it alone. If I hold the power button and use deep sleep though, it works just fine. When I can't get it started I notice the little power light is on, but the screen stays black... any suggestions??
I have read somewhere in this forums that re-calibrating your screen from Settings might help, but I still didn't tied - if someone try please post results.

No, you use the app rigth. The app only disable deepsleep.

i had the same problem on my 32, albeit not that frequently. Downloading the FW and reflashing it seems to have made the problem go away.
You know what? Strangely enough after I replied to your post I downloaded the latest fw (2.1.4) and the problem seems to have gone away no special flash no repair I just installed and rebooted and so far no prob... I will keep testing this and post results
Edit* Ok so far so good... no problems. I'm actually surprised I'm getting better response from the device despite everyone's warnings about 2.1.4. But that's another topic. I think its just a bad install of your current FW, but I'm just guessing... My device has had the issue since I got it, I just decided to live with it but like I said the latest update fixed it... So it HAS to be the FW

err I'm afraid that I spoke too soo. My device keeps getting stuck and won't awake from sleep. This seems to happen most after switching wifi on or off, specifically whilst the device is playing music.

how are you installing the firmware? maybe im doing it wrong. I let the device update to latest 2.1.4 and then i wiped it via the settings and repair menu in android.
Edit**
like this??:
Step 1: Download the android 2.2 firmware for your archos tablet from here,you might a get a false positive notification from your browser as they are unaware of .AOS format, so ignore that and download it.
Step 2:Go to Menu > Settings > Device Storage & USB connection > USB connection mode of your tablet and set the connection mode to Mobile Media Device (MTP) and now connect your Tablet to pc.
Step 3:Now when the tablet is detected you will see a hard drive icon,double tap and open it and copy and paste the firmware (.AOS) file into the hard drive(make sure you dont copy it in any folder inside it like Music,Videos etc).
Unplug the USB connection and the Archos device will automatically locate the update file and will prompt you for the update,just follow the screen options and you are done,if it does not prompt you for an update then you might have accidentally misplaced the file in one of the folders,just locate the .AOS file from the file manager and and open it to start the update.
No no it wasn't that complicated... It was actually the simplest fix for a difficult problem. My device when I got it was running 2.1.2 out the box... Even then It had the screen problem. When I got the chance I installed 2.1.3 OVER THE AIR. Straight from Archos. Still had the issue though, I figured it would have been fixed but was greatly disappointed... Then I sort of just lived with the problem for awhile... I saw that the 2.1.4 update was released but was wary about downloading it because sooo many people are having issues. Just the other day though, the device cut off on me again and I figured to hell with it... So I downloaded the 2.1.4 OTA as well... no website, no manual install, I just let the device run its course on its own. After the update, it rebooted normally and it's been working great since... Sorry to hear not everyone is so fortunate... I really hope this helps somewhat
My SGS2 stopped vibrating. Tried flashing, un-rooting, restoring stock and factory settings. None of these worked.
I am inclined to think that it is a hardware problem.
Has anyone else been dealing with issue? I read some posts on XDA regarding this matter but they were software related as opposed to hardware. Can anyone post instructions on how to fix it or provide any solutions for this issue?
If its hardware, why not flash stock, remove binary flash count with USB jig, and return for warranty?

Cannot get jig in Palestine. Bought the phone from the UK. Sending it back will be problematic. I will look for a repair shop.
Thanks for the quick reply
That's a "bummer" (bad luck). You could make a jig, but as you said that it would be problematic to return. Hope you can sort it easily. Sorry, can't think of anything of use right now.

hey there,
i got the same problem. no more vibrating at all. not with calls or notifications and not as haptic feedback. it started today (was still working in the morning), though i did not drop the phone or anything.
i am still hoping too find that it's a sw-problem. but all potential solutions i find do not help. so i guess i have to contact samsung.
but before i do that i have to get rid of all "hacking".
could you plz tell me what i have to do?
i have now cm9 20120402 nightly.
but i still have a cwm-recovery-backup of the original touchwiz (gingerbread).
-so first i make a backup of my current rom via cwm and of all my apps via titanium and store everything on my pc.
-i flash my touchwiz-backup
-i get one of those: http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_no...ld-keywords=Samsung+Galaxy+S2+USB+Jig&x=0&y=0 , plug it in, wait til its done and remove it again.
after that, samsung will never know i "messed" with the phone??
or do i have to consider/do something else?
tyvm!!

I have the same issue.
When I was on my stock 2.3.5, I found a workaround:
- go into test mode (dial *#0*#)
- find the vibrate button, when you press it, it shouldn't work like you expect
- go back
- plug in your headphones and push the cable a bit to the left
- test vibrate again - this time it should work
- pull the cable out while vibrating, still pushed to the left, vibrations should stay on
I know it sounds crazy but it seems the hardware part that controls the vibrations is near to the jack port - excessive use of headphones, like it was case, must have damaged it somehow.
However, now I'm on CM9, so no test mode for me, I'm achieving the same effect by bashing the back button, so I get semi-constant vibration. I know, It's ridiculous.
Have the same problem here, I think it's software related because the shut down vibration stopped working when I flashed CM9 ICS, I can't remember if it was working anywhere else though. But now I'm back to 2.3.5 and it's not working at all. Did a Factory Reset, Cleaned Cache before and after the flash. Also used the Jig to reset my counter. Any clues?
I am experiencing the same issue.
Yesterday, I downgraded from 4.0.3 back to 2.3.5 as I was having a lot of problems with ICS. Now, my phone works fine again except for the fact that it does not vibrate anymore. (Which it did fine in 4.0.3 and before in 2.3.5)
I tried the trick Lechium06 mentioned in this thread but that did not work for me.
Anyone else having this issue? More important, anyone have a solution???

I saw something similar on CM9 thread, they said it could be a "bad flash", not a corrupted rom but the lack of proper cleanup before and after the flash. But I cleaned up everything before and after and I don't like reconfiguring the whole phone again for nothing.
it happend again.
dont recall what i did or if i did something last time at all. but it worked for over a year now. and now, my sgs2 doesnt vibrate at all, i tried all possible settings, tested with z-device and rebooted. nothing.
apprechiate any hint!
thx!!

AW: [Q] Vibrate function doesn't work anymore, hardware issue
since i had that before, i ruled out a hardware issue. it happend when i played with the system settings. but as i sayed, i tried to reverse everything i did. now after i updated to 0206 and wiped cache and dalvik, still no vibration.
is there anything i could have missed?
is there a possibility to reset all settings to default without deleting all my data?

I assume since your posting in xda developers that you are rooted?
If so, just back up data with titanium backup app and factory reset, setup system and then restore USER apps and data only.

Did you install another rom?
My vibration for example didn't work with some cm10.1 nightlies
it started in cm10.1 20130203. then i tried wipe cache and dalvik. nothing. then i updated to 0206 (wiped cache and dalvik again) > still nothing. went to bed. got up. everything ok! its vibration again! i am 100% sure, it did not work, when i left it on my desk last night. this morning, i checked for missed calls and it took a moment until i realized: i got haptik feedback back on patternunlock and keystrokes! checked ringtone-vibration: fine as well!
dont ask me how! would still like to know for myself.
thx,
kws
AW: [Q] Vibrate function doesn't work anymore, hardware issue
call me stupid!
suddenly this evening my phone stopped vibrating again. then i realized: quiet hours! i turned off haptik feedback at night.
could slap myself. at least ill find this thread again, next time i screw it again....

Hey guys, I'm having a little problem here with my Player 4.0 . Whenever I connect my device to my computer, it will connect for a second, then disconnect, and keep going like that for a few minutes, until it just completely disconnects. I'm trying to install Terrasilent kernel so that I can install Ethereal rom, however, with it doing this I'm unable to use odin to do so.
I have Kies installed and all, I've already tried troubleshooting, and I've already tried changing usb ports. The only thing I have yet to try is use another computer, but I want to know if there's anything else I can try to fix this. Another thing is, the device has an icon that looks something like this:
*phone* -- [!] -- *computer*
What are you're settings in wireless and networks -> usb settings? For Kies you need to (how surprising) Kies. Choose mass storage to mount the internal SD card.

Your microusb cable may be going. I had a bad cable initially, and I had to hold it just right to get things to flash successfully, which was a lot if fun while trying to fix a completely bricked device . Also, that image is forced download mode, which means that a flash failed previously. Just connect it to the computer while that image is showing, and it should pop up in Odin, if it actually connects.

I've tried my GSII cable, my 4.0 cable, and a blackberry cable, none had seemed to work. I ended up fixing my sister's laptop today, and tried it there, surprisingly, it worked. I had a similar issue back when I owned an iPod, and it just wasn't working on my computer. Oddly enough, my GSII is fine with my computer, never had to use another.
Anyways, I had gotten everything working right, flashed terrasilent and your rom on the thing, my sister seems to like it bunches, although there are a few issues (things randomly force closing, even the status bar managed to force close on itself, also some visual bugs (when pulling down the status bar). Eagerly waiting for the next update, my sister as well :3

I think it has something to do with the drivers. I remember that mine wouldn't connect at all to my computer, and I had to use my other one like you lol. So basically I had to completely uninstall Kies, and the drivers that the player installed on my computer. Then I reinstalled everything and made sure they installed properly. It worked fine after that.

Sounds like you need a full wipe. Did you wipe cache/dalvik before you flashed? The visual bug is an issue with my theming that I have been fruitlessly trying to fix, but it's better then the statusbar not working at all, which was the case int he last version.

Yes, I wiped cache and dalvik cache beforehand. I've also tried setting the device to stock rom, wiping, reflashing terra, and then flashing your rom again, still get random force close messages. (ex. "play store is not responding")
I'm thinking it was a bad zip, probably gonna redownload the rom, things like this have happened to me before on my GSII, only it resulted in.. bricks.
I have a samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300.I got it from Italy.I Used It for sometime and then the update 4.1.2 came out.So I Installed It.Then Minor Wifi Problems Came.I somehow Fixed It,using Methods I Found From The Internet.Then I Didnt Use Wifi For Sometime As My ROuter Was Broken,And When I Got A New One ,I Tryed connecting To WIFI ,But It wouldnt turn on.
In The Notification Panel when I Press the wifi button ,it turns light green and then becomes normal again.In settings when I Go to Wifi and turn it on,it keeps on saying turning on for sometime and becomes Off again.
I almost Tried Every Solution On The Web.I Tried Dialling *0011* and turning power save off.I Flashed New Firmware around 4 times.(now im currently running 4.3,got it from Cnet)And In All Of Them ,Wifi Doesnt Turn On.Then I Went To Desperate Measures I Rooted My Phone,and tried many Fixes But It Still Didnt Work.
Right now im thinking,something must be wrong with the phone`s wifi adapter.(Physically)AND HOW I WISH THAT IS WRONG.
So i Really REALLY APRECIATE It If U can Help Me.Now That my warranty is void as well,U People are My Only hope.Im Running Very Low On Money so im hoping For A Free Fix.I still even have the Idea Of reverting it Back To 4.1.1.But that Would Make My Phone Lose A Lot Of Features,i Dont Like That.But Anyway If Thats My Only Choice Ill Take It.
Also I Live In Sri Lanka,I Tried Another Reigon update and then My Mobile carrier Didnt work,also wifi didnt work as well.
This Is My First Post Any Help would be appreciated.
Thank You.
P.S - I Would Rather Prefer A Fix In 4.3 or 4.2.2 Other Than The Link To 4.1.1.

Hi everyone
Last night, when i plugged my usb charger to my S3 since it was drained, my phone suddenly turns on without hitting the power button,
I tried turning it off, then plugged again, the Grey battery icon with progress showed but then i was hoping to see the battery icon with green color (the usual icon when it is charging) instead it turned on.
I tried, installing stock rom, Official one, and everything is ok, phone doesnt turn on
Tried clearing cache and dalvik, same turning on happened
Tried installing a fresh ROM, still it turned on after plugged in
Can you help me guys... It doesnt affect my phone, but its quite annoying.
Thanks guys

Simple, expand notification bar, then switch to rapid settings screen, here you find offline/airplane mode(depends on translation), the one with the airplane icon, after you enabled this all networks(cell net. Wifi bt ecc...) will be shut down, you can re enable wifi if u want to surf web , i suggest you to reboot the phone sometime(one every 1 or 2 days).

That is not true. I have never experienced such an issue on any rom I have flashed, I also did a quick search here on xda and cannot find anyone else with this problem.
@cgren
Does this only happen on one specific rom?
Since it does not happen in stock it might be an option in the rom/kernel you have chosen but since you have given no information I cannot check for you.
