Using GB stock on G2X (my 3rd replacement) and its been pretty good so far. I was connected to wifi and wanted to toggle it off so I hit the button on power control and it got stuck turning off. In settings it said turning off and was no way to turn it back on. Bluetooth and radio was still able to be turned off and on.
I had to turn phone off and on to fix the issue.
Anybody else have this issue before? Never happened in Froyo for me and I have a feeling it might be an issue related to wifi calling.

Hi I'm wondering if anyones come across this problem where the Tab turns itself off. After serveral attempts to turn it back on it wont. Only way is to plug the power plug in and then turn it on, the battery is on about 80% charged so there it has nothing to do with flat battery.
Before I plugged it into the power plug it seemed to be hotter at the back than usual. Its not overloading itself out is it??
Its happened a few times but nothing major just strange.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
It was on stock P6800XXKL1 but moved up to stock P6800XXLA3 both had the same problem before.
i have the P6810 completely stock and have seen this once
Does it go through shutdown sequence or just instantly lose power?
Try charging it for a few hours with it turned off?

It goes through the shutdown sequence. Don't think charging it when its off will make a difference but I give it a try.

random turn off Galaxy tab p6800 7.7
I have a stock 7.7 and there have been a number of times when i find it is off OR not responding immediately to the power switch when i pick it up to use it. Ie power switch doesnt turn on screen. I assume it has shut down.
Battery is full.
bluetooth, Gps & packet data off, Wifi on.
I have to hold the power button down for prox 30 sec and ot starts up and goes through normal boot up. I dont know whats causing this either.
On this device, what does "Off" mean? If you press the power switch, does it really turn off,
or is it suspended?
I.E., does it go through a boot process when you turn it on, or does the screen just come on?
This looks like the sleep of death also happening with the Tab7.7 as well as on the Galaxy Note.

From the manual:
To turn on your device, press and hold the Power key. If you
turn on your device for the first time, follow the on-screen
instructions to set up your device.
To turn off your device, press and hold the Power key and
select Power off → OK.
It goes through the boot sequence.
I bought this tab 2 weeks ago and it's happened about 4 or 5 times now. Basically I'll put it in sleep or standby or whatever you would like to call it. Then when I go to press the Power button again I'll find that the screen won't turn back on and I'll have to hold it and turn it back on as if it were off. This whole turning off automatically thing isn't as bad as it was on the Toshiba Thrive I had but still, it shouldn't be there. Especially for a what I suppose is a premium product like this, I mean around $500 AU isn't just a little bit of money.
Sorry if I sound kind of negative but I hope this gets patched or something, Toshiba took a good 3 months to patch the Thrive along with upgrading it to 3.1, lets hope the 7.7 doesn't take that long.
One of the main reasons I got this was that I trusted Samsung for support, not just for ICS but for updates and customer support as well.
Try replacing the launcher. TW sucks big time.

I was thinking I'm the only one had this problem.
The device looks dead/unresponsive instead of turned off. I've to hold the power button for 15 sec or longer to force reboot.
Another thing I've found is 7.7 seems to work well without SIM card installed, no such issue happened for days, but it happens much more frequently with SIM card inside, i.e. twice a day.
I assumed this may relate to 3G module/driver/baseband/etc, until now someone said it also happened on P6810.
Could it be a software or hardward glitch?
looks like sleep of death similar to 7+, also exynos.

I'm pretty sure it's a software glitch. In the Toshiba Thrive, it could be patched. They don't sell the 3G variant here in Aus so I wouldn't know if 3G affected the frequency of it lol.
I have had atleast two shutdowns aday but since I added an everyday alarm(silent one), I haven't had none and that's 6days with out.
I know this sounds strange but works for me.

I've had it happen once to me so far, about 24hrs after purchase since then it didnt occur again.
using my data only sim card, which was pretty old and worn out, it happened to me a couple of times
now im currently using my newly replaced sim card, never experienced a random reboot again

I've had my primary worn out simcard on my tab for a few days and no SOD yet, when it happened the first time there was also no simcard on it, Im sure this is the very same issue with the Note.
same for me on GTP6810
this is SOD as I got on my Nook Color with cyanogenmod ROM ...
after I installed ADW Launcher Ex no more SOD ... not sure is related to the launcher ... I'll edit this post if I get SOD with ADW
EDIT: just got SOD
have you guys tried to turn off wifi when the tab goes into sleep mode in the settings?
My sim card not detected im only able to used it for several hour. And the last attempt after restarting for several time the device able to detected it but for only 10-15 minutes then sim card removed notification appear while the sim card is still in there. This really piss me off.bcoz i just bought this device.
I haven't even touched it.
Am I the only one ?
btw: Usually My TF lasts for approx. 5 - 6 days without using it .
Thanks

Always on airplane mode and even if it's connected to 3g, It doesn't act like in the pic.
I've been seeing all praise about how fast the GPS locks. Mine doesn't lock very fast though, if I keep the WiFi off. It often takes about a minute or even few minutes to lock, even if I'm out in the open. If I turn on the WiFi it locks almost instantaneously, and locks at a GPS-ish accuracy, i.e., down to a few meters.
Does anybody have the same issue? Is it how it's supposed to be or I have a bad GPS chip?
I'm on Verizon running root66 with WiFi toggle. Note that when I say WiFi off I meant turning it off using the WiFi toggle. I don't think the stock WiFi toggle you access from the Settings page completely turns it off, since it'll still tell you if you are near a known WiFi network, it must be turning WiFi on whenever "needed".
I'm on Sprint. Just ran a test. With WiFi on or off indoors I lock within 5 seconds.
Mine has been that way since the day I had it. U may have a bad one.

anybody on Verizon has this issue, particularly when WiFi is turned off using the toggle in notification bar?
thanks.
With WiFi off, indoors (first floor in a 2-story house), I got a 10-foot lock in less than 30 sec from a cold start on a freshly reset phone (this morning)

OK. Then there's probably something wrong with my phone. I'll try revert back to 100% stock and get an exchange if it still has problem.
Yes, my gs3 is also like this. Normally takes a few minutes. Stock rooted but was the same way before root

Dear all,
I'm using Nexus 5 normally ( no root, no kernel, etc ) but two weeks ago , I don't know why the Nexus 5 is rather hot and the wifi was turned off ( I didn't turn on 3G ). I powered off the phone the power on, after that wifi was turned on again. But more than half an hour the wifi was turned of again. And I see that my Nexus 5 is always rather hot ( I power off, it is still hot )
Now the wifi cannot be turned on anymore . I change the kernel, change the ROM but nothing happens. Please advise.
Thank you very much
