Anyone getting the sleep of death on their XTZ2? I'm running completely stock (not even rooted) on 23.0.1.A.4.30 and just experienced the unit not turning on at all until I do power + up volume.
Upon returning to life, the battery was 90%, so it wasn't battery.
Had a bit of a panic attack until I googled the solution (power + up) but this is the first time its happened to my unit, could it be related to the recent upgrade to 23.0.1.A.4.30? Anyone else seen this?
Mine lasted a day and a half after the 23.0.1.A.4.30 update and then became very erratic and kept forgetting wifi login info.
Did a restart and certainly got a sleep of death OK.
Would not switch on at all.
No power + vol up or attempt at repair via PC Companion made any difference to it.
Since gone back to Sony for repair, that was weeks ago, who knows if /when they will return it.
I had the same problem with mine as well I have the 561 the Verizon model. I have received a replacement but have not been able to get it to turn on either. It shows no signs off life at all not even when connected to power AC or PC. My old one would blink red and go dead when connected to a PC but this one doesn't even do that. I haven't had time to call for another replacement yet but really two defective devices in a row the second one didn't turn once.
Finally got mine back from Sony repair agent.
Worked fine for 3 days, then failed to power on again as per original fault.
Once again returned it for repair.
Think I'll give up and buy an iPad instead - at least they seem to be reliable and consistent.
This just happened to my tablet this morning. Tried all options under the sun but can't get it to boot.
I can't even do a factory reset and I don't particularly want to return it under warranty.... :'(
Mine is an xperia z2 tablet sgp561 (USA Verizon) build 17.1.D.0.437, stock 4.4.2. This issue happened to me 5 days ago after I powered off the tablet, it won't turn on again. Battery charge was ~70% at the time. Plugging it with factory Sony usb charger won't do anything, charging status LED remained Off, power button unresponsive. I let the tablet sit for 2 days without charging cable connected hoping the battery will drain completely by itself and the buggy firmware will restart executing at its base address getting out of the bug. Then I connected the crap to a fully charged 15000mah Anker power pack and alas, the charging status LED glowed red and after ~5 more minutes the LCD screen turned On for ~5 seconds showing a big battery icon at the center of the screen indicating 0% charge. Waited about 1 more hour and the charging status LED turned amber. This time I did the "power button + volume up" ritual holding both buttons for 10 sec+, expecting 3 vibrations but didn't feel any. At this point the tablet is still powered off. Because LED = amber, thinking battery must be at least 10% charged by now, just pressed the power button for ~2 sec and surprisingly the normal power On vibration came followed by Sony logo on LCD screen and the rest is normalcy.
From what I can remember, the recent change I made before this problem happened was turning Stamina to On in the battery settings (factory default is Off). I reset all settings back to factory defaults and so far so good.
Finally got mine back from Sony repair agent after about 3 week wait.
Seems to work OK now, fingers crossed it will keep working this time.
The note that came with the return indicated that they replaced the mainboard and battery, which is a better solution than their first attempt which was just to reflash the software.

Dude same thing, WTF is going on, I tried plugging it into charger, nothing. And once I got the msg of red colour battery icon and then I plugged it in. then it started charging and I was happy so I turned it on the it wasn't charging,
Please update me what happened and what they are saying cause I am about to send mine to get it fixed.
Edit: seems that by replacing the battery and mainboard has actually fixed the issue? Guess it's time to send it back to them, Gosh

Did this method work for you? Plus did you come across like it was charging but it wasn't really charging,(like it showed the low battery stat with orange/red colour LED notification but suddenly it vanishes) then it's not responding at all.??
I had this issue 2 times with months in between , no response from power+vol up , no lights when charging , no response from pressing on the red button behind the flaps.
The last time it happened i tried putting it on the charger for a whole day with no result, then decided to let it rest a few days first , since someone had the same issue and it magically came back to life when he got back from a vacation.
So i try to turn it on 2 days later and the tablet to my surprise responds again with blinking red LED, recharching afterwards did the trick and worked again since
In my case i was running CM11 at the time, both times it happened after an update which required a reboot while, still mistified about the cause and the fix , i presume it solved itself by letting the battery drain.
Since then i reverted to stock rom just to be save but havent had it happen since, this also seems to have fixed some touchscreen problems i was having at times.
Hope this helps.
Bloody hell, I've just ordered mine today!
Don't stress. Mine got repaired. if it goes tits up that's what warranty is for
What did Fonebiz indicate was wrong with your Z2.?
They replaced the motherboard in mine.
Exactly the same, works fine now
This just happened to me today. So seems like overall suggestion is to try and let it discharge. The try to start it back up and charge it then. Just want to make sure that's the only potential solution now?
No! Leave it powered off, put in on a known good charger for at least 12 hrs. Don't touch it in that time.
If it does not come alive after that, send it in for repair.
ok..let me try that. I originally tried that and nothing occurred. However, I just found the OEM charger and usb cable and will try that. Unfortunately it's a Verizon version so sending it in will not be covered by Sony warranty. Per the Customer Service that I called.
ok..tried another charger and the red light came on, but it's been over 12 hours and still no go. I did notice that the red light was no longer on (from overnight charging). I left it unplugged for a bit and reconnected. The red light came back on but still no response. Sounds like i'll need to send in?
Looks like it.
Had the same problem on tuesday. Impossible to switch on, no light, none effect with charger, none effect when connected to PC/MAC etc...
After 4 days without charging my Z2, it came back to life, showing only a big red battery icon when pushing some seconds on the power button. Connected to a charger the red led indicator glowed ! (red battery icon is totally different with the original icon when tablet is charging in power off mode)
After a full battery charge with OEM charger and after a normal power on, my Z2 is now perfectly functionnal.
just got my plus friday. got the best buy deal with the free wireless charger from samsung. its official oem charger. i am having problems with my plus charging for any long period of time. it will start out fine and after a couple minutes it usually stops charging and the blue light will just blink. or every couple minutes the screen will light up and it will make the sound like i lifted it up and put it back down. i have put my regular s6 on the charger and it doesn't give me any issues. just the plus. anyone else have this issue?
I have the same issue
Well it seems I am the ONLY person on all of the internet who is having this kind of problem with a Verizon Wireless Charger and the S6 Edge+. Friday of last week, the wife and I got the S6 Edge+, two wireless chargers, and 2 cases from Verizon, all the same everything.
My wife's phone has zero issues.
My phone; when placed on the wireless charger starts to charge, but then every percent it charges the phone turns on, beeps like I placed it down again and shuts off... it does this all the way to 100%, then stays off. It does this with or without the case on. I also swapped phones in other chargers and the wife's phone works fine in my charger and mine still acts stupid in her.
I reset my phone to factory thinking I messed something up and it still does it. Tried rebooting it and placing it again, same outcome. Going to take the phone back to Verizon today and ask WTF. Sounds a bit like a S6 Edge+ issue.
Mine was doing it last night. I put my plus on, it starts fine, then in a short period of time like u said the screen flashes and i get the ring like i just put it on the charger.
Other times it just stops charging and the blue light blinks. My regular s6 has no issues

Hi,
Just received my note 2 ordered via minideals.net on Saturday night and received Friday afternoon (paid extra for dhl).
Just got home from work and tried to put the phone on assuming there would be some battery power nothing, not a problem I thought lets charge it.
Let it charge and as soon as i plugged in the charger the phone was vibrate very softly then stop then start again and this keeps happening.
Left it on for 15/20 minutes and tried to turn on again and nothing - no light no screen absolutely nothing.
Tried holding power button and volume down together - the vibrating stops but nothing comes on the screen.
Any ideas? was looking forward to this phone hope I don;t have to try and send it back.
So after about 50 minutes of solid charging the vibration stopped tried turning on whilst it was plugged into a charger and nothing.
Unplugged from the charger and plugged in again and the vibration has started again.
Return it to the seller... I know it's terribile but i think it is faulted
remove security tape from battery ; )
<embarrassed> I have to confess I jumped the gun and made a total neewb error.
It was in fact the battery sticker.
I realised this after my second post.
Remove the thing AT the Batterie,
So today I was on checking something on my phone when it suddenly shuts down. I thought it was overheating again but when i checked, the phone temp wasn't even warm at all. I tried turning it back on, it got a green screen with 2 smaller boxes (red and blue) no text. Then it turned off and now my phone wouldn't turn on at all. I tried charging it but the led light did not even turn on. The phone wasn't even low on battery to begin with. The battery was at 60+% when it turned off.
Days ago i updated the phone then it started overheating. It also started having issues with the headphone and the charger (posted about this in another thread.) Now it's just dead.
Has anyone else experienced this? I don't know what I did wrong or what to do next. As much as possible i don't want to replace the phone, at least not yet. I will be traveling overseas tomorrow and i really need it.
did you ever find out the solution to this problem? My Huawei Mate SE started doing this to me today and idk what to do!!!
So this is my second Mate 20 Pro in a week, first one had a very bad stuck or dead green pixel top right which was swapped without question and very promptly. My second seems fine but this is my first Huawei device after using Samsung for years so not having best time. Amazing phone though despite that. Unfortunately I fear a problem has come to light.
First charge I did was when that message comes on about shutting down when device reaches 2%, so popped on charge and wow charging is that fast. Turned phone on and 100%.
Second charge last night after I believe 1 day and 20 odd hours on, I switched it on after charging and it displays 93%???
Can anyone advise me on this, should I return or is this normal, I did leave it on charge turned off for whole night plugged in, could this be issue?
Thank you
