So I used my nook tablet all day yesterday and this morning. I put it down to goto lunch.. came back and noticed my wifi was not on.. I checked settings and it showed "Wifi turning off" and it was grayed out and just stuck.
I've seen this before with other android devices so no biggie. I powered the unit off.
Now it won't turn back on. Holding the power button now for about 20 secs and nothing.
The battery is at like 80% and I even plugged it in to see if it helped but no good.
I did root it at 1.4.0 and used the Block OTA method with titanium backup but nobody else seems to have a problem.
Is there a way to boot in recovery or something ? Perhaps a trip back to B&N will be needed.
Ok.. holding vol down + power for around 8 secs got it back on. Weird
i have noticed this a few times. Not sure why but never lost anything

His happened to me once and I don't know what I did to get it back on. Glad that I now know, thanks.

I had a similar problem. I couldn't get the tablet to turn on. I discovered in a Kindle Fire forum that you could get the Fire to start when stuck in the off position by holding down the power button for 20 seconds. I tried that with my Nook and it started right up.
Thank! That worked! I was having the same issue. Said Wifi was turning off and all went blank and couldn't reboot. You gave me the answer.
Cheers.
I have had the wifi "turning off" issue. Rather than turn off the nook, I used the menu that you get with a long press of the power button when you install either ROM manager or titanium backup, can't remember which. It has rebooted every time without issue.
The Wifi issue is a known problem. You can set the wifi to stay awake when on the charger and this problem wont happen. Add the power widget so that you can turn the wifi off when not connectwd to the charger. This combo fixes the wifi issue. When your Nook experiences a kernel error it will appear as if it is off but if you hold it at angle, you will notice backlight is on. Just hold nook button and power and it will turn off...then power to reboot rom.

Actually, it's happened to me twice while I had WiFi set to never sleep when charging.
Moved To Q&A
We now have a Q&A section. Please post all questions there
I rooted my Nook Tablet and it worked fine yesterday. Now it won't turn on and isn't recognized by my PC. I hear the windows alert when a usb device is connected but when I try to do anything via adb I always get 'error: device not found'.
I tried doing adb get-state and all I got was 'unknown'
I tried booting into recovery via holding the power button + n for various amounts of time, but nothing happened.
Does anyone have any ideas? It was working fine yesterday and I haven't changed anything on it since I used it last.
Hold the power button down for about 10 seconds. let it sit for a minute, then hold the power button for another 5 seconds or so and release. It should boot up. (assuming your battery is charged)

I had to do a reset (power button + Home) twice so far. Each time it happened after I left the tablet to recharge overnight. It did not turn on as it normally does when you unplug the charger.
I must admit that the (power button + Home) reset does not seem to be cut & dry. The routine quoted above worked the first time. The second time, I tried it several times then finally I tried the pwr button by itself and it went on.
Mine just did this Power and vol down got it running again.
Dear all I have look up in the past posts but it doesn't help
The phone show a 100% charged battery logo when plug in to PC, but won't turn on
ADB Interface cannot list the phone (maybe I didn't turn on the debugging mode before this problem happens)
The phone cannot go into Recovery/Download mode
When I put it on charge, it vibrate and charge symbol shows for a few seconds and then it would go to sleep. If I press volume up/down or home button, the charge symbol pops up again. but not for the power button.
Please Help. Thanks.
Hmm. It either could be really sinister... Or simple.
Have you considered the power button may be faulty? That would account for it not turning on, but waking when you press the volume key. It would also not allow you to enter recovery or download mode. Its apparently (I haven't needed to myself) not hard to DIY replace it. Search on here/google for how to do it, I don't have a specific guide in mind though sorry.

Screen keeps on turning on while charging & sometimes Power Button on phone wont work
For some reason, while connected to bluetooth, the watch's screen will light up and show on the top that it's connected to bluetooth (as if I slided down). Right now I disconnected the bluetooth and it's charging just fine. Also while connected to bluetooth, sometimes the power button on my Galaxy S5 (running AllianceRom) will become unresponsive. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?
Lastly, I had uninstalled the stock email app when I flashed the ROM months ago, but when I go to my old apk's to install it, it won't install. It'll say, "App not installed". How can I get it to install?
I have a rooted c8633 and factory reset it yesterday, then battery suddenly dropped from 30% to 0%.
1. After turning it on again, the power button wont work(cant screen on/ off) . But i can still use it to power on or force turn off the phone (power + volume up), so i assume its some software problems but i didnt install any apps i never use before.
2. The battery percentage seems not accurate, sometimes it drops fast but some times its very slow.
Could anyone please help with these problems? Thank you.
Sorry i cant capture any screen because my power button is not working.
Hi,
After disabling some app and disabling background data for some else apps, I turn my phone off.
Now, it could not charge and do not respond with the power button.
Z5C on Android 7.1.1 root with TWRP.
Plugged in usb, on the power adapter : nothing on screen. And on USB, the same.
I saw this list of apps :
https://sky11362.pixnet.net/blog/post/35365493
I'm sure I have disabled this one : SemcAutoPowerOff.apk
For others, I don't remind me... I've got a TWRP backup of my phone (outdated but maybe useful, 2017).
Is it possible to restore the apps states and privileges with TWRP or something else ?
I'll retry later, when battery will be really empty. Hope it can rebirth !
try to hold power button + volume up button to force shutdown.
Maybe it just hang during the shutdown phase
So... After waiting all this afternoon, I push the power button during maybe 30 seconds.
It came back ! Battery was below 25%. Everything is ok. :silly:
I'll recheck my disabled apps...
