Was wondering if anyone can help me with this problem I have with my tablet. Everytime when I leave my z4 tablet alone it shuts off on its own and when ever it comes back on, the date restarts at December 31 1969 I it happens everyday when I leave it alone but when I'm using it it never does it. Has anyone had this problem before?

has anyone else had their phone shutdown while it was sleeping in their pockets? It never happened before this outage. I have been keeping by mobile data turned off, ans it seems that when I lose WiFi and it can't jump to mobile data it just shuts my phone down. Is this bug affecting anyone else or is it just my device?

Hi, I am unsure if my shutdowns were the same as your circumstances but i thought i would let you know I had the random shutdown problem as well. I had my phone for about 3 days, it shut down once in my pocket and pretty much every night after that; there was no reboot after the shutdown...it was off when I woke up in the morning (not the best when trying to arrive to work on time). I actually returned the phone for a new one and have not had a problem since. Not sure if this helps, but at least you know you aren't alone
so heres the story:
when i lock the phone, the screen turns off as normal. but when i hit the power/home button to wake it and unlock it, nothing happens. literally, nothing happens. its as if the phone has turned itself off.
So whats happened is, I left the phone on the charger last night. it woke perfectly this morning when the alarm went off. no issues there.
I put the phone into my pocket and headed into work. i went to check my phone when i got on the bus and this was the first tme that I noticed that the phone wasnt waking. i eventually pulled the battery to get the phone to restart. i tried it again and the same thing happened.
later I made a phone call. the same thing happened again when i took the phone away from my head (the screen didnt restart, and I couldnt hit the End Call button cause there was none.)
since then, i've figured that to make sure the phone doesnt go to permanent sleep i have to do one of 2 things,
1) keep the phone music player running constantly, or
2) keep the phone connected to the usb charger.
clearly this isnt exactly practical for a mobile.
im not running any other Rom, its still the stock rom, android v 2.3.5, not rooted or anything else?
is this somethign anyone else has seen?
its called 'sleep of death' or SoD. some people has experienced this and some are able to fix it. it depends on what is causing it.
some blame it to the battery and the battery's contact point..
sometimes it fix itself after few reboots..
cheers for the info. Ill look into it and see if its worth trying to fix or just sending back.
no problem, i have this problem and cant do anything about it. i used load monitor to keep the phone awake, u/v a bit so it wont drain so much battery. but battery drainage still noticeable like 1% every 5 min..
just wondering, does it feels hot/warm near the camera lens when it happens? bcause mine does.
not particularly.
i finally got through to my provider and will be able to get it fixed/replaced soon. they just dont half drag their feet
Hi guys. For some time now, my ASUS TF201 has began turning off by itself several times a day. I have searche high and low for a solution, to no avail. Has anyone experienced this problem and could give me some advice?
more info
Forgot to mention: my ASUS was originally delivered with ICS. It worked without this problem for a few month and suddenly began with it. After updating to JB, nothing changed. Thanks again.

I had a very similar (exactly the same) problem.
When I got my TFP it worked fine (normal issues aside), but a few months down the line, I would come to it and it would be turned off. After a week or so, it got worse and it was turning itself off while I was using it.
It ended up that if I had left it alone for a while, it would start up and run for a bit - but eventually it would shut down on me randomly... and once it had done that, it would shut down after a few seconds of booting.
Leave it alone (for a day or so) and it would turn on again, only for the same to happen eventually.
I RMA'd it once, and they said it was fine and had run it for 2 hours... lone behold when I got it back, I used it for a while, and it shut down again.
I've just got it back from the second RMA and they replaced the mainboard - now it's working like it's meant to again.
So... I'd definitely recommend an RMA!
Remove any/all extrnal memory cards you might have in it and monitor for reboots then.
I have the same problem! Except with me, the tablet only seems to turn on if it is NOT connected to the dock. In addition, if I try to connect the dock after the tablet is turned on, it automatically shuts off. In fact, it shuts off even before the tablet is completely connected to the dock. I'm trying to find a solution myself... anyone?
Hello,
My tablet S shuts down for no reason. I turn it on, and after a while (the time is always different) it shuts down. Does not reboot. Just shuts down.
Sometimes it shuts down right on the unlock screen, sometimes it let's me work with it for around one minute / one minute and a half - it depends.
The strange thing is that if I delete some apps, after it shuts down and I turn it on again, the apps that I deleted are there again. I tried to reset to factory but with no sucess.
Does anyone have a similar problem, or knows why this happens. Sony did not know how to repair it, neither 3rd party houses. One of them said it was the graphic driver, but i found that strange. Could ir be?
Thanks in advance.

I have exactly the same issue, also started around mid Sept 2015. Also not possible to remove apps or do a factory reset. Tried Condi's unbricker: nothing changed. Tried AIO scripts: nothing changed. I am clueless.... If you know more about this issue, please let me know. Factory warranty has just ended and Sony is charging me 195EUR pickup & investigation cost. Ridiculous!

Well, hell. Looks like we are doomed. It's really a shame because despite everything I liked the tablet and used it a lot to read e-books.
I guess all hope is lost.
Hey people.
So i'm reaching out here for assistance with an issue that has only happened since the march update. Always on display refuses to always display unless its plugged in to a charger.
If i unplug the charger and turn screen off, it goes completely off within a couple of seconds. As soon as plugged in, it stays on.
I've gone through all the settings i can think of but I am now scratching my head because nothing i do seems to solve the issue.
It just worked flawlessly before.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Did you ever resolve your issue? I am getting mine on monday and am trying to avoid issues
No mate. Sadly not. Also can confirm that even after april update its still the same. No matter what i do, the always on display will just not stay on unless its plugged in!
Don't get me wrong its not life or death bug. But i always have my phone next to me and always glance at screen for time. Its no good to me if it wont stay on
