I have had my gtab for a couple weeks and after lurking the boards I finally put a new ROM on. Went well but I wanted to try another so I reverted to the original factory one last night. An hour ago my Tab powers off randomly and will not turn back on. I figured battery may have been dead so I plugged in and it was fully charged in about 30 mins (now showing green light). Called tech support, they had me try holding power and volume up for 6 seconds, no result so now I have to mail it back for repair.
I am fine with mailing it back but leave for Vegas in the morning and would like my tab to come with me. Any ideas?

My device went to sleep and now I can't bring it back to life
This is a known issue with stock / TnT Lite 1.x -- the only known "fix" I know, other than opening up the device, is to let the battery drain until the device shuts itself off - this should take about 24 hours. Once this happens, you should be able to power it up again and recharge it.
thanks I am going to pull from the charger and hope it drains!

I bought my gtablet from woot around 3 weeks ago and installed cyanogen 7.0.3 on it on the first day. I had been working great till today. Last night I charged the tablet fully before going to bed and disconnected it once it was fully charged. Today morning when I woke up the screen would not turn ON. I thought the battery must have drained and so I connected the power supply and it started charging the tablet. After 15 mins the screen came on by itself. So I then switched off the screen and left for work.
Once I got back from work I switched the screen on and the screen came on without any issues. But then it just hung. None of the buttons respond, not even the power button. The screen has been on for the last 4 hours. My computer is unable to detect it when connected via USB. If I connect the power supply I can see the charging light come on.
Has anyone else come across this issue? Is there a way to resolve this issue?
sounds very very familiar to my issue... been up all night trying to figure it out no luck thus far... nvflash wont recognize it on two different computers and not a chance at getting to cwm...
It shutdown once the battery drained. Charged it up and it started fine. Now I am issues updating my apps from the market place . The error I get is "There was an error downloading the update"
My HOS is 2 weeks old today. I have rooted it (unlocked BL) and spent many hours with it...kept the stock ROM for now.
I had been using it today and last night and the battery was low so I plugged in the charger (using AC outlet), and left it on. I went back to it 20-25 minutes later and it was extraordinarily hot (I realize this happens...I posted on a thread 2 weeks ago when my phone first overheated to this degree). I saw that like the first time this phone overheated (which was within 48 hours after purchasing it) it wasn't charging. Similarly, this time, the battery showed only ~halfway charged. In my experience, it only takes about 20 minutes to fully charge it... so I was concerned.
I decided to power it off and keep it charging--hoping that the heat would lessen and it would just cool off and charge.
However, I checked it now (perhaps 2 hours later after powering off), and it won't even start. I plugged it in again and waited about a minute (thinking maybe somehow the battery drained), but no luck.
This never happened to me with my last HTC... I have never not had a phone not power up... this seems really weird.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
Mine takes longer than 20mins to charge.....however its not good if it wont even power on, you gotta take it back
Have you tried to power it on by holding the power & volume down button?

Yes, I tried booting into recovery.. No luck... This is so frustrating because I have not really dropped it or got it wet or anything. I don't like the thought that it might have overheated and caused permanent damage.
I will take it back today I guess... Is 14 days still within the return/replace period? I won't even say I rooted it.. Just that it stopped working. Although I will be irritated to have to unlock the bootloader and root a new one.
I am wondering... Is there a way to power up the phone using ADB??
Thank you
unless your phone is recognised in ADB, No !
Well...good news, I think anyway...I tried taking the SIM card out and it didn't do anything so I left it alone plugged in for maybe an hour.
But.....
When I later looked at it, it was on again, and..it had booted into recovery. I had tried earlier to do this as mentioned above, but nothing happened (using power on and holding the volume rocker down:
So after putting the SIM card in it was fine...go figure.
Thanks for the replies!

Not sure if anyone has any new ideas as I've had this happened before and had to get the phone fixed with new motherboard. My phone has been working ok with the official ICS update. It's rooted. Things seem to be a little weird the last few days with the phone hanging and sometimes the screen will just turn into this fuzzy appearance and yesterday while it was just sitting on my desk..it seem to be using a lot of power with the battery going to 4% from 80% in just 3-4 hours idling. IT also got really hot while charging, so i turned it off and rebooted. Thought it was fine.
Then last night, while charging, it seem to be sluggish. so I restarted the phone. But after it turned off..it won't respond anymore. No light when plug in for charging, or plug to computer...cannot go into bootloader with vol down / power.
I had a similar experience before when the phone suddenly died 3 mths ago and thought it was related to a custom ROM, but HTC replaced the motherboard...now it's unresponsive same way.
Time to send back again? Or anyone have new ideas about this?
Take out the battery, put it back in. Try to turn it on. Still nothing? Volume down and power. No bootloader? Sorry, its probably dicked.
There's other things to try, but from what ive gathered, they probably won't help.
Hey all, I just got through with this hurricane sandy business and now I find my phone not working at all. First off I'd like to say that there is no water damage to this phone and it is NOT rooted. The problem is that it just won't turn on at all, and won't charge when I try to charge the device. The day before I charged the phone and it worked fine. I can provide more details if needed but I need to find a solution to this.
Did it run down on battery completely before it did this? You might need to charge it for a bit before it turns on. Also, see if you can get your hands on a spare battery to see if it's the battery's problem. I would also try removing the battery and putting it back just to make sure it wasn't jostled loose.

Two days ago I completely let the battery drain on its own because it was draining faster than usual and I was using it very minimally due to the lack of phone signal during the power outage. And yesterday I charged it until it was 100% in the morning and at night I charged it again until 100%. Before I went to bed, I turned off my phone and it was 90% and when I turned it on in the morning it was at 77% (which I thought was weird since the phone was not even on). Now the phone will not work at all. I took the battery out and everything. I even tried turning the phone on while trying to charge it (but it would not charge). The only feedback I got was that it vibrated when I tried turning it on this afternoon and after that was nothing. (it would either get stuck at the AT&T bootup part or I would get no display at all)

And nothing happened to it in between at all? That's very odd. The only thing I can think of to try is another battery.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

Nothing I can think of. It was fully charged by 9PM the other night and shut off before I went to bed. Next morning the batter is nearly halfway drained for no apparent reason. I think I will get another battery to test.
Also I let the battery sit out of the phone for a few days now and the phone still does not work.

Get a hold of a charged battery, then after 1 hour with no battery in the device, replace the battery remove the SD-Card and the SIM-Card, replace all covers. Reboot your PC and go to firewall tab in the control panel and turn of your firewalls, then reboot your PC, then using USB data cable not a charging cable.. with your device being OFF conect to a USB connection in the back of your PC, if it's a laptop use the one next to the intranet connection. Then wait about 1min. If nothing happwned, hold the volume down button then press and release the power button. if nothing happened, hold the volume up then press and release the power button. If nothing happened do the samething this time by holding both up and down volume buttons. If nothing happened with your device connected to the PC go to MY Computer tab right click on C>Properties then go to tools click on check disc tab check mark both options then restart your PC. Before windows tour OS starts, your PC will go through a self check. let it do its thing. it takes a couple of hours. then after its down check to see if it has seen your device. if not then do procedures above once again. GOOD LUCK.

Okay so I finally got it to turn on but in order to charge it, the phone must be turned off for some reason. Also, the touch screen is not working, even after I did a hard reset and erased all my data. I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or a software issue because the display is working fine.

That same thing happened to a friend of mine. She took it to a technician tho and they sorted it out for her.
Hello every one, this just my first post here, but I have been follow the forum very very close since some days ago thanks to Mustaavalkosta and his new CyanogenMod Rom here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533007&page=283.
I am having a similar problem with my HTC Inspire, here is my story. I bought it like it a year ago, the first thing I do was to rooted with AAHK and install CyanoyenMod cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-ace. Everything works just fine till a couple of months ago. One night I just leave my Inspire and go to sleep, the next morning I wasn't able to turn on, not charging, not turn on. Was not the battery because my brother has another Inspire and I check with his battery. I just leave the phone without the battery and Sim and SD for a day and them come back again, but at next day the same occurs. I try all that time, vol down+power. voldown+volup, every convination but nothing works. So I decide to dissensambly my phone... in the process I broke the ribbon flex cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-HTC-Desire-HD-Inspire-4G-Camera-Socket-Keypad-Membrane-PBC-Ribbon-Flex-Cable-/320925341841?pt=US_Cell_Phone_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4ab8a41891 The phone was in parts on my table like a month till I was able to buy and recieve the ribbon (I live in Colombia). Finally the ribbon arrives 3 days ago, so I assembled the phone again and...magic! the phone turns on. My next step was install the Mustaavalkosta Rom that I mentioned before.... but, yesterday, my phone was dead again. So a try all steps again, put out the battery, Sim and Sd... and again try all the combinations of buttons, but nothing works... So I do it again: dissensably again my phone: Only disconnecting the display doesn't works... I have to disconect the display and the ribbon cable, assembled again and just turn on again.... Now I am waiting for the next black out...
I know is a weird behavior, but may be some one can point me in some direction to fix it.. I am not a developer or anything like that, but I like to investigate and solve problems... any help will be wonderful.
Cheers!
PD: I dont have any apps installed, just trying the Rom as it is.
PD: The next time it happens I will try the niavaran advises.
Looking for any help or guidance here. I searched the forums and have found limited info fitting my situation.
My S3 is rooted running Jelly Beans Build 15, today I was sitting here playing a game the phone was in use for a while so it was warm to the touch as it can normally become... mid game there was a slight flicker of the screen and it DIED.
Since then I can not get any power back. I pulled the battery, and tried to power up I get a vibe then nothing happens. I've tried to reboot into DL or recovery all it will do is vibe then nothing happens.
I plugged it into the charger and it will vibe, the LED doesn't come on, and the battery icon on the screen will flash on and off the screen, each time it appears there is a short vibe.. with all that the phone won't boot.
I've had it about a year. SO did it just sh!t the bed on it's own??

My first S3 did almost the same thing one day. My wife and I both got them on launch day and mine always seemed to run out of battery a bit faster than hers. One day, it got really warm in my pocket and the battery started draining out of control, it dropped 10% in a few minutes and just kept going until it was dead. Plugging it into USB to charge, it vibrated, I got the big battery icon on the screen, then reboot, vibe, icon, over and over again. I had to exchange it with Verizon.

Any chance you could get your hands on a different battery to try? I was in class once playing some dumb mini putt game some guys played next to me, and my phone just completely shut off. I couldn't get it to turn back on and at the time it turned off I had ~half battery. I got back to my room and put a different battery in it and it worked fine. I charged the battery that wouldn't work and it now works fine again. Not really sure what the problem is though...
But yeah. Find another battery to use to get it to boot back up
So the phone is alive and working. It seems there may have been an issue with the battery level and a bad reading. When the phone died it read 20%, I hooked it up to a usb power cable on my pc and work and it didn't work.
When I got home I plugged it into the OEM charger and it was showing the battery was essentially dead and charged the phone back up...
That's all that happened... strange but true

I think you have the same problem I did. When my phone completely dies and I plug it to the charger the battery charging icon goes on and off or if I get lucky stays on and charges it. But I put the same battery o. Another phone it charged instantly. I got a replacement from verizon.
