After it goes to sleep mode, when I try to turn on using power button, it won't walk up. (I can't reboot or do anything) When I connect to PC using USB cable it turn on. I think this is a software issue. Do you guys having this same problem? Any Solutions?
It's known as the Sleep of Death, check the development section for (possible) solutions.
Will this happen on a stock tab or is this a rom thing

Searched around for a few hours and I haven't been able to find a solution, so I'm turning to XDA as always.
I was using my phone earlier today, and like always, tried to "sleep" the phone by tapping the power button at the top of my phone. My screen stayed lit and for whatever reason it wouldn't sleep, so I'm trying to figure it out.
I can't deduce if it is a hardware issue or something weird with the software or ROM that I am using. I've never had this issue before, and I'm not sure how to diagnose/fix the issue.
Sliding the keyboard awakes the phone, and I am able to use the touchscreen and keyboard with full functionality, but I am not able to turn off/sleep the phone with the power button. Any and all possible help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much.
does the power button work?
does the phone drift off the sleep when you set it to sleep after 1 min of inactivity?
take out your battery put it in see if u can turn the phone on with the button if u cant its broken.
I was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing problems where there power/sleep button doesnt bring the phone out of sleep mode and the phone just remains black. Let me know.

I just started experiencing that my phone wont go into sleep mode after pressing the power button. I can hold it down and pop up menu to turn off shows, and bring it out of sleep after the 15 sec delay i have set up but thats it any ideas?
The only issue I have is when the phone goes to sleep wifi turns off and the captivate starts charging data to my plan. Does this happen to anyone else and if so is there a known cure?
I had my phone not go to sleep at set timeout one time. It may have been due to an app i installed. I rebooted and no problem since.
As for using data when asleep - Wifi turns off when the phone goes to sleep mode - this is the way it behaves, same as iPhone and other android phones. You have some app connecting in the background, maybe email sync?
You can keep the wifi on during sleep by going into the Settings-> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings. Press the menu button in Wi-Fi settings press on "Advanced".
In there is an option called Wi-Fi sleep policy. Switch that to Never and you shouldn't have to worry about the wifi turning off when in sleep mode.

Yea It was an app I installed, I did a reinstall from a back up and it works now.
Captivate Shutting Down Instead of Sleeping
Mine is doing this too, as are a few others, from the look of some posts on here. Mine started after a day and a half and two full charges. Suddenly I would go to wake it up and it will have turned off.
I'm thinking I might take it back to the store to exchange it, as not everyone is experiencing this problem. Sucky. I did notice that the battery, after you take the door off, is a little wiggly on the side opposite the connectors. I wedged some thin paper in the between the battery and the battery slot and it still did it. Got to be a problem with the individual phone.
Total PITA!!
I had problems with mine shutting off while in sleep mode and I uninstalled SetCpu and my task killer and it stopped doing it....
I had my tablet for 2 days now but it all of sudden, the tab became unresponsive.
I was using it this morning and it went to sleep (I didn't lock it with button), and when I went back to turn it on, and that's when I found out it was dead.
the tablet does not respond to power button, charger or computer.
Anyone have a similar fault?
I can't believe I have to send this back to hk now for repair.
Have you tried turning it on to either download or recovery mode?
What is that mode?
I got it to turn on finally while tryibg bunch of random combos (volumn down + power) and (volume up and power)
etc
Try holding power button on for up to 20 secs worked for someone on the av forums
my tab every two days just freezes.... i have to press power for a few sec for it to reboot
Had a similar issue recently. When my device went to sleep it wouldn't wake 'normally' I could hear the volume up/down sounds but no picture. had to hold down for an extended period to reboot.
I checked what was using the most battery and it turned out to be "media" I had some issues w/ my ext SD card recently and noticed when I removed it all was fine.
so that was my solutions (as for why my SD card is giving me grief, that's anther yet to be determined issue) but atleast it 'wakes' normally and my battery doesn't drain like crazy.
I have the same problem - Tab go to sleep mode and death. Nothing is working. Have anybody idea what to do with it. I have only 1 idea - take it to service
Edit - Problem solved ;-) Conect Tab to PC while pressing VolDown. It start charging and after while you can start device.
I've got a similar issue. When you hit the power button to wake it from sleep, nothing works and you barely see the bottom taskbar. Reboot obviously fixes it. It happens pretty randomly every other day or so.
Hi , i was just thinking it may be of some help if you posted more info .
What ROM you are running .
What ROM you loaded before this one .
How you loaded the ROM you are currently running .
The reason I ask is that these problems may be ROM related and if thats so
you may help others to avoid the same problem .
Oh by the way , I have had this same problem show up with other devices and also
with computers not booting and it was caused by a SD card .
P.S good luck wish i could help .
I'm planning a project to mount a tablet in the dash of my car. I'm working through all the considerations I need to take due to not being able to access anything but the front of the device. I've got workarounds for just about everything, except for that pesky power button.
Does anyone have any suggestions for bypassing it by some means? The device will be powered by the car, so it will be rare that I need to access the power button. However, removing the tablet is not an option.
Options I'm considering:
Physical rewiring of power button to a button on the dash.
Turning the screen into a power button
Wake on Lan capability to render power button useless
The physical rewire is the best option I've come up with so far, but would not be an easy task by any means. I don't know if the other two options are even feasible.
Any ideas?
Hey
Hey there...
Did you find any workaround for this? I was considering a simillar project but instantly thought the power button would be a big issue.
I know some tablets turn on when plugged, which means the tablet would turn on as you turn the car on. This happens with my Asus Transformer. It automatically turns on when I plug it into the wall socket. I'm betting this would be the best sollution. The problem is... finding a suitablet tablet that does this. lol
Cheers.

As he said receiving power from the usb adapter will (in most cases) turn on the display, that solves the first part, the next part would be preventing it to lock again, to do this go into setting/display and set screen timeout to never. Also if you are running a custom rom as cm7 you can go into tablet settings and disable the lockscreen to have direct acess into the ui.

The TL;DR is - Running ROM fine. Phone boots up but screen does not turn on. Does not seem to boot into recovery/download mode. adb is attached aka works.
Phone was sitting on desk, untouched and not charging. Now the phone screen does not come on, but hardware keys light up and notifications come on. I then charged the phone for several hours. Hard reset with a battery pull, let it sit for 10 mins, try to reboot. The phone vibrates once, and 30 seconds later notifications come in, hardware lights come on, and led blinks. So the phone is booting fully, but no screen on.
If I try either of the recovery or download combinations, the same normal boot up happens. So I cannot seem to get into recov/download normally. Odin does not recognize the phone. Windows OS recognizes the internal and external storage as normal. "adb devices" returns nothing.
Is there anything you think may solve my screen-off predicament? .... Worst case its a hardware problem Other than that, I am friggin stuck here. Your assistance and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Had a similar issue when a flashing went bad. My charger was plugged in and for some reason it just kept looping like you mentioned. No combination worked.
I disconnected charger and pulled battery. Waited a few seconds and did the recovery combination. That did the trick. Hope it helps

I am open to suggestions. Plan on opening and operating, as I suspect it's a hardware issue. Worst case, any have experience with replacements?
(Oye, now I'm reviving the OG Droid Incredible ...)
Take it into a pitch black room and look closely, does the backlight try to turn on? I had a very similar problem where my backlight just died, I could see the faint outline of my home screen (like my brightness was on -50% lol) and everything worked but the screen. Ended up being a hardware problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. I cannot see even the faintest of light, just pitch black screen.
It's peculiar though --- the hardware buttons are not vibrating. As if it's not recognizing any input other than the Power Button. And thus, maybe why its not recognizing the volume rocker to get into recovery.
Bump: adb now works and recognizes my device. Open to suggestions!!!
edit: Tried adb reboot recovery ... phone turned off, vibrated, then received no input whatsoever -- however still made the connection noise when plugging into USB. Only solution was a hard reset.
