Alright, I just bought my Dad a tab 10.1 yesturday since I found a really good deal on one. My problem is that when the tab freezes the only way to get it working is to hold the power button (about 10 seconds) from what I understand is that it should soft reset the device, but in our case it's being completely reset to factory settings. So is there another way to restart the tab? (On my Xoom it's Power and Vol Up) and is there anyone else having this issue? (pretty much, is this normal behavour?)
Now I'm not afraid to root and do all the goodness that is out there as I have done that on my Xoom and my Nexus One both of which were rooted within hours of recieving them, but since this is my Dads I would prefer not to.
The Tab is running 3.1, Kernal is 2.6.36.3 and the build is HMJ37.XXKG6 P7510XXKG6
Thanks for any insights
In order to reboot it, shut it down by holding the power button for 2 seconds until it shows the pop up menu - choose Power Off. When it is off, press the power button for 2 seconds again and it will start up.
baha that's a good one. As if I didn't try that already. The issue is that it was completely unresponsive to everything except a forced reboot. Too late regardless, it was returned yesturday.
Hi,
i recently bought 2 Galaxy S wifi 5.0 as there was a deal going. first one worked fine but a few days later and i've opened up the second one to find the screen isnt working.
its stuck at the 'select locale' screen from the initial setup with me unable to scroll and select any options. the back and menu keys don't work either although the home button seems to be doing something as the keys light up when pressed and it also works in recovery mode.
The volume key works as i can see the media volume going up and down when its pressed, it also worked when i booted into recovery mode to try a factory reset.
i can see the media scanning running after bootup and when i plug in the usb to a computer it appears with the USB connected (but ofc i cant press the button) so i think the system is running fine?
the power button seems a bit stickier than the one thats working fine and also when i hold the power button in to shut down the device (unable to press power off) it comes straight back on. is there way to force a shutdown rather than reboot?
just wandering if theres anything i can do to hard reset? im a bit reluctant to flash a stock rom / gingerbread as i have on the other one if the screen is just dead but thought id see if anyone had any ideas of anything i can try?
cheers,
Well, I would return it since it is still under 30 days (where did you get it?).
comet was £99.
yeh ill probs take it in tomorrow just wandered if there was anything i could do to double check the screen was definitely goosed
Hi everyone
I'm desperate.
My TF201 (stock - not rooted - and successfully updated to the current version) works flawlessly for the first 3 months and then one day the Volume UP key stop working. Whenever I tried to lower the volume, it will automatically up it again. When this happened, I tried to reboot with the power button but the tablet wouldn't respond. So I pressed the power button a bit longer and it will shut down. But, when I tried to power it again, I will feel the buzz but the screen will remain blank. The first few times that this happened, I used a small pin to reset the tablet and it will reboot normally. However, now this procedure also has stopped working and I cannot get the tablet to boot again. When I plugged it into my PC, it will recognize it as an APX device. I found that if I let the battery drain completely, it will then power up. I have read and tried the different methods mentioned in the forum but to no avail. So after reading sledgie's post in one of the thread, I thought that perhaps the Volume UP key is definitely stuck and that's why it's booting in the APX mode every time. So, I bite the bullet and open the tablet to see if I can fiddle with the volume keys. But alas, even after making sure that the volume key is not getting stuck, the nightmare continues and every time to boot the tablet I have to let the battery drained completely. What I could gather though is that it's definitely the Volume UP key because every time if I could get the tablet to boot, after draining the battery completely of course, when the ICS Home screen will appear the volume icon also will appear by itself. I found that so long as I don't the touch the Volume key, the tablet will work flawlessly and I could press the power button to get it to sleep and to wake normally. But if I touch the Volume key then the power button will not respond.
So, as I said I'm desperate and if anybody has a solution, please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Help!
Anyone?
i think you should exchange it or send it back for RMA. Make sure you contact Gary Key with regards to APX state. I wrote in the other thread without seeing this thread, but this is what it sounds like.

Another kind of situation that nvflash would be useful.
Sent from my i9250
agreed.
Sorry to respond very late but I want to know what this 'nvflash' means and how will it be useful in my situation. Should I 'nvflash' my tablet in the circumstances?
It's not possible yet, unfortunately. Asus retains the locked bootloader key. We have a way to flash it (SBK I believe) but without the unlocked bootloader, we are not able to proceed further. This is unfortunate for both sides - customer and Manufacturer
Hey there everyone.
I've been an short term Android user (almost a year now), and I've fell in love with the customization and the flexibility of the platform.I had only recently delved into rooting and ROM-ing on my GS2, which I bought about two months before purchasing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 When the GTab received the OTA, I noticed that ICS with the TouchWiz overlay is either somewhat smooth, or downright laggy. YouTube performance lagged Honeycomb, and that's saying something. Finally, I decided to root my GTab and install CM9/10. I went to the first source I saw (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185), and to my surprise, I was stuck on step two.
It won't go into download mode. I tried 5 times, each time trying in vain the right volume+power and all three. No luck. (Insert: WTF). Is there something wrong? Everytime I enter the volume down+power, it goes into the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Splash Screen (As it should), and then nothing else. Then it appears again. And then disappears. And Appears. In this infinite loop, with no two icons showing up. If I let go of the buttons, it boots up regularly.
What do you guys think of the problem? Software (Most likely, huh?), or hardware (buttons work flawlessly in use). If not, is there a alternative way to root the device without going into download mode?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
Power Button and the Volume Down Button pictured here! With Tab completely turned off and the plug not connected hold the power button and the button directly next to it " The left volume button" for up to 10 sec!
Hi,
I've searched the forum for a solution or at least an answer and didn't find any so here I post.
I have a Transformer Prime TF201. Sweet tablet that works beautifully... until recently when it updated to Jelly Bean. Now my power button does nothing. I need to connect my tablet to power each time I want to use it since it's the only way the screen will come on.
I did test if it was the button itself... which doesn't seem to be the case since I can access the (Power + volume down) boot options. So if I can access that, the button works right? Anyway, since I saw that Cyanogen had nighties with CM10.1, I was wondering if I installed this my button will work again (my reasoning is the official JB rom cause this behavior)? Or if you have other good custom rom suggestion?
