Hi, I noticed that when I log into the S3 everything is fine but when I log into it as the 2nd user the screen goes blank right away. I have to press the power button to get it back and even then as soon as I enter the key code, a black screen comes up and then a moment later the normal screen appears.
Something similar happens when I turn on the S3 and simply pull down the screen to change user right away.
Is there any way to fix this?

Anyone else experiencing their 10.1 retail Tab having the screen come on randomly and stay on? Every so the screen comes on, but it's black. I can tell because of the backlighting being on. I have to reboot to make it stop.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That has something to do with background apps making it "wake" up
I think a more important problem is the Tab either turning off on its own or having the "sleep of death" even on Android 3.1. I just experienced both of these but the one that scares me more is the "sleep of death" because in order for you to turn it back on, you have to plug it into a power source, hit the power button once until the battery gauge appears then hit it again, and this time hold it down until the Galaxy Tab 10.1 logo appears. Then it boots into Android like it should. this is the first time its done it for me, and its only been two weeks since i got it.
Hopefully Samsung's upcoming TouchWiz UX update will include fixes for this and maybe a dash of Android 3.2
Yes. I have exactly the same symptoms. Every few days, my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (v3.1) will turn on the backlight (but with a black screen). Sometimes it is on battery, and other times it is being charged. Either way, I cannot wake the tablet and have to hold down the power button until it resets. Then, the first time it tries to reboot, it displays a DOS-like error message and I have to reset it again. Then typically it boots up fine. I really don't like these symptoms. Any help in fixing it would be very appreciated.
Hi All,
I've been coming here for a good while, reading articles, looking up help tips, and I gotta say, XDA is super helpful! I love reading about the new apps and seeing what people are making. But now, I'm running into a problem that I'm having trouble finding an exact duplicate or matching answer for. I've been looking through the boards and I see some things regarding somewhat what my phone just started doing, but it seems like everything is for custom roms or kernels. The difference between them and mine is that I'm on stock, nothing modded on my evo 4g lte at all.
This morning, I checked weather on my phone, loaded up some music and headed off to work. When I got to my office, I turned the volume down to vibrate only and plugged in the USB cable so it charges during the day while it buzzes from twitter updates or txt messages, etc. Anyway, about an hour or so ago, I turned on my phone and saw the lock screen, but it was different than what it normally is. Normally the lock screen has the weather on it but this time it had just the normal field wallpaper (one of the stock images). I pulled the ring from the bottom of the screen to unlock it and the phone immediately went to a black screen with the little box that says "Loading..." for about 2 seconds, then disappears. The buttons on the bottom (back, home, open apps) are unresponsive. I can, though, see the bar at the top with the time, signal, etc. and I can drag it down and see any kind of notifications in there. If I click the settings button, nothing happens, however the bottom phone button to show me open apps, it starts to work. I see little app cards for settings, but if I tap it, it zooms to the screen but it's still black.
After about 10 seconds, I see the "Loading..." box pop up, disappear, pop up, disappear, continually.
I called my phone from a land line and I could answer, but if I left the phone screen, it was just black. Eventually, an error came up that says "com.htc.bgp" has stopped unexpectedly. I hit don't send the error, it goes away, and I'm back to a blank (black) screen with "Loading..." continually popping up and disappearing.
Also, I can pull the task bar down and select the USB option and then select any of the other functions...HTC Sync Manager, Charge Only, Disk Drive, etc.
Every now and then, when I see "Loading..." pop up, I can see a stock HTC image (the orange colored fields picture) flash on screen just before it goes black.
I'm really stuck and don't know what to do. I'd love to try to save everything that's on here if possible (images/movies saved to internal storage). But if not possible, then oh well. I was able to find this link forum.radioshack.wdsserve.com/t5/Sprint-Discussion/How-do-I-hard-reset-an-HTC-EVO-4G-LTE/m-p/17981 on how to do a factory wipe, but is there any other options I could try first? Also, what do the other options under this section mean; like clear storage, is that like wiping a browser's history?
Thanks,
Sin.
Update: My EVO kept looping the "Loading..." message, even when I did a power-off by holding the power button for 10 seconds. I found out, though, that if I did the force shutdown (hold pwr for 10 secs roughly), keep holding until it buzzed at me, then when the phone turns on hold volume down and the EVO will boot into safe mode. It would have the "SAFE MODE" logo at the bottom corner of the screen, but it booted up without anything other than stock apps on the screen. I'd do that, let it sit for a while, go to sleep, wake it up, sleep, wake up, etc. It never went to that black screen that just said "loading..." Everything seemed ok, so I did a normal restart, let it load up, and all seems to be good now.
I was using live wallpapers before, but when i switched back into safe mode, I made sure that just a stock wallpaper was set. I think that may have been the problem, maybe one of the live wallpapers got corrupted? Who knows.
So if anyone's having trouble, try the safe mode trick, remove anything crazy, then reboot normally...do that before wiping out.
My tablet is HKC P077A with 8GB ROM, 512 RAM and a 7'' Touch screen (Android 4.0.3). I am having 2 problems
When I switch on the tab, first "HKC" logo comes to screen and then disappears to show "android". This is standard. But after that the thing wont move forward. Just keeps on showing "andriod" with a flashing like thing implying the loading process. But after long wait there is no start screen and nothing changes. It just hangs there....
But if somehow got it to get into normal working(I donno how, but It sometimes boots ok and gets into normal working mode, with home screen and apps and everything). So once I get it right the other problem I am having is that the touch is giving VERY bad response. I have to click at spots multiple times to select that thing. Also the response is very slow. Its like the tablet is hanged. But when I tried connecting a mouse (through OTG) and everything works fine again. Is my touchscreen gone bad..??
I am already done with, reset (from "settings> backup and reset") [I cant find how to do factory reset on this model from "off" state(read below)]
I have tried to get into reset screen by pushing "Power Button+Vol up" button. Then I know the tab gets turned on (I can hear a small white noise from the loudspeaker) but nothing comes to screen. So the "Robot with heart open" is never shown. I also tried using "power button + Volume down", this takes me to a screen written in chinese. Now, I don't know Chinese but from the look and feel, its a troubleshooting window, where I can check weather components of my tablet are working (eg. I click one menu(with difficulty), then the front cam turns on, another menu makes loud sounds from speaker and another flashes many colors in screen etc). I found that most are ok except something called "T" (On the screen, its the last item to the right, is it "touchscreen"??)
So, what can I do to get my tab to work smooth again..? Is the touchpad having trouble..? Need I do any specific troubleshooting..?? Any Ideas on which key combinations to get on to the "factory reset" menu from off state..??
Also can u please specify the key combinations to the tablet factory-reset menu from "off" state.
Dear friends, see this, see in the youtube:

I activated the phone in their own settings of android to show screen touches and strokes that you can see in the video above, and installed YAMTT app to better show the problem.
The Problem on mobile touch in the middle of the screen there is a track that is not recognized touch, but if I press the screen sinking, she returns to work temporarily, and now recognizes the touch - but after a few minutes the problem back and touch is not recognized again.
The screen is perhaps dished up, and when I press down her back to be in contact with the part of the cell that recognizes the touch, but with time the screen should be getting back dished up (this is my guess, not i'm sure).
Detail, not always when I press is running, sometimes I press the screen to the center of the touch again be recognized, but it seems that the phone is registering touches alone.
What would be a solution, and change the screen (it does not mean that changing the screen the problem solved), want to try other alternatives before changing the screen.
Perhaps heating up the screen with hot air, in theory it will expand and become more pliable, and then if I press down the center panel of the phone with something for a while until it cools, in theory the screen would remain indefinitely, and if that is the problem could solve -
Anyone have any thoughts, has been there?
Thanks in advanced!
Hello people,
I've noticed a weird problem with my Samsung S2 running Gingerbread 2.3.5 (yes, I know, it's old... but the last time I've upgraded to anything more recent, the battery lasted less than one day. I'll happily receive any advices on newer versions tho).
let me tell the story:
the phone is "quiet", with the screen black.
...a message arrives! (doesn't really matter if it's an SMS, Telegram, WhatsApp or anything else. Even notes will be affected, everything needing a keyboard input)
I press the power button, the phone "wakes up" and shows me the lock screen - I've set a static image with the time in the upper area.
so the phone starts running and I go to the desired application (sms/telegram/notes/etc...)
the keyboard (swype keyboard, but is the same also with my other 2 keyboards) shows up.
I try to input letters, words, but nothing gets written. If I press longer to get to the special character selection, I can't select any of them, all I can do is touching the Back button and return to the keyboard.
I usually press a key from time to time to see when the keyboard starts working.
After a delay of ~15 seconds it starts working, but I have to be careful not to let the phone going back to sleep or I will have to endure the delay again (this usually happens during a chat and it's quite annoying).
so, I suspect there is some application that gets stuck after waking up from the lock screen, but does anyone have experienced this? Any ideas on what it could be?
Thanks!
Best Regards
Max
