Sometimes when I grab the phone out of my pocket and I press the power key to enable the screen, I discover that it is off :S. When I press the reset button it will start again, but it seems strange to me. You guys have a suggestion of what it could be?
Hmm, this sound familiar...
I've just posted re battery life and my phone waking up all by itself, but now I come to think of it I've seen this happen as well - or my phone just soft reset itself randomly occasionally.
I wonder if they are related problems...

When I press the normal power it won't start up, so it isn't totally shut down though. Only a reset will do it. Very annoying.

Mine has started and shutting
NOT powering up with the power key or
the soft reset. I literally have to
pop the battery out and back in to start
up the phone. ???
If your phone is randomly turning off...yet it turns back on...your battery may be reaching its end. How long have you had the phone? My dash used to tend to do this when it was reaching the end of its battery life...it wouldn't just...run down. I noticed a decrease in battery life, but the moment the phone needed heavy usage (internet, messaging) the battery couldn't dish out enough power and it'd just turn off...this would even happen in my pocket if enough calls or texts came through...then when I'd go to check, it'd be off.
It's not that, I'm assuming, it's the phone. I just bought a new HTC Touch Pro 2 Days ago, and it does the same thing. It randomly shuts down, and it even overheats, and I have 3 batteries for the phone because I use my phone extensively. Sad thing is, this phone was to be more powerful then my 6800 and so far, it's failing.
Well, then I'm assuming its time for a replacement, lol. I've had mine for a while now, never had that issue. Never had that issue with any phone except my Dash when the battery took a dump.
My phone is 2.5 weeks old. I would hope they battery wasn't dying already, but who knows. The keyboard quit today and the screen has been acting funny too. Like when it goes into "sleep mode" the screen fades but you can still see the buttons to unlock the phone and the buttons on the bottom are all lit up and won't turn off.
The screen is incredibly wiggly too... This happened after I took my phone to a local sprint store. They put the phone casing on it to show me what it would look like and then the guy yanked it off my phone.
I am starting to wonder if some of this is not related to that.
So, since the keyboard died today.. Asurion is sending me another replacement phone... Guess we will see.
I think my problem has something to do with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3748976#post3748976
I recently have found that this happens to me whenever I turn the feature where it disconnects from EDGE when my device goes to sleep. However, when I turn that off and let EDGE continue to be on while my phone is in sleep I don't get this problem anymore. I have it checking my email every 5 minutes if that makes any difference.
alright dudes and dudettes.
i have the same issues more often than i would like.
it powers itself off and the only thing i cna do is soft reset. also sometimes when i wake the phone up, my plasma theme is distorted it still slides across but everything distorts and i cannot access any progs.
it is an annoying issue.
any fixes ideasm, help would be top. thanks..
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.
Good evening all, I've owned my Nexus 5 for about 6 months, and yesterday for the first time, I had some issues with it. The phone shut it self off and would get stuck in a bootloop, I was eventually able to get the Nexus into the bootloader, but seemingly today, the phone will restart before I can make a selection.
Unless the phone is plugged in, I can't get any response out of it.. any idea?
Looks like a faulty power button to me since it restarts. Could also be a hosed emmc as well.
Hold the power button till the phone completely shuts down and then try to switch it back on. If it's still the same, time to claim warranty.
This details is going to be long...sorry about that, but I'm extremely worried so please help me soon.
My nexus 5 is 1 year 2 months old, bought in india, currently out-of-warranty. I never ever rooted or made any software changes, it's on 6.0 Marshmallow on legit OTA software updates.
When I'd updated to Lollipop, few days it'd do random reboot, but it'd complete the reboot and the problem ended automatically in sometime.
Now, I'd installed 6.0 OTA, but now from past night the phone started doing these activities to be exact:
" While operating yesterday night, it randomly showed me 'Google' (which's shown when the phone starts) and the phone turned off. It was just a start. Today morning, it again doing same things when I turned phone on. If I press "Power+VolumeDown" it shows me the bootloader menu, but immediately switches to 'Google' screen, but here it starts showing in an infinite loop. So the "Power+VolumeDown" isn't working, only direct power button is turning phone on. Now when directly phone is turned on, if I press the power button once, it immediately goes to sleep and wakes up, I repeat this and the phone repeats this 2-3 times; if by-chance the phone sleeps by normal power button click and again if I try to turn it on, then on clicking power button it directly shows 'power off' (which is normally shown after waking up device and holding the power button, I try removing the option of 'power off' but it doesn't go and after 2-3 tries it goes, unlocks the screen, hangs for 2 seconds, shows google and repeats the same story.
Now I just did factory reset, now the phone had started but it again swiched off and now it isn't turning on again.
Please please help me what can be the problem? As in first thing I'm going service centre tomorrow morning, but as it's out of warranty how much they'll charge Idk, I mean can anyone along with solving above problem give a solution that what can be the cost, is this only a software issue (as I said I never made any roots anything, only thing phone ever might have got damaged would be by falling off from height, which last was dropped atleast 6 month ago, and I updated to 6.0 in mid-beginning of October, while this is the end, so what can be the problem exactly and only software issue it will be? What can be expected cost? In India, Mumbai and would be going to service centre tomorrow, I really don't trust Indian Service centres as they idk how much will they overcharge and how should I tackle them please tell?
Can anything mentioned till now be a hardware issue and be charged more for?
I'd also like to mention that I've absolutely zero idea about rooting and any other advance things so please don't provide any advanced resolutions which go completely above my head.
Please help me soon, I never did any modifications to the phone, and I wouldn't be getting a new one anytime soon, so I don't want my phone to be like this because i'm scare that at this moment it's either beyond repair or would be charged too much to repair..

I had nearly the same behaviour ... changing the battery solved this for me.

I did 100% charge my phone, but nothing is helping. At this moment the phone isn't turning on and I'm waiting for battery to drain now as charge isn't helping. Even now if I put on charge, it won't charge and continuously show "google" "google" instead of charging.
Sir i think you have a problem with the power button. Its stuck. I have the same problem before. I had it fix and til now my nexus 5 is doing fine.
I have been having a similar problem for the past 3 months or so. I thought that it was my power button but I also saw in a few of these threads that it was a battery issue. My phone would act OK as long as I had 75% or more battery but once it got below that it would randomly boot loop. The last couple of weeks, when it boot looped, it would drop from +60% down to 4% after one reboot. That was when I decided to try replacing the battery even when the other symptoms seemed to point toward the power button.
I found a battery on line and changed it out last week and haven't had a problem since. I believe the phone was just getting erratic battery indication and shutting itself down thinking it was out of juice. Cracking open the phone and changing the battery was easier than expected provided you take your time and don't force anything.
Tip: There is a clip just above the "S" in Nexus that needs to be pressed back in when you put your cover back on or the wireless charging will not work.
Had this issue, replaced the battery. All is well now
I've had my Nexus 5 since it was released in 2013. About two years ago I started getting a dreaded bootloop and determined it was the power switch failing. I had the power switch replaced and all my problems went away.
About 6 months ago I started seeing the symptoms of a failing power switch. Random reboots which would go into a bootloop which I could stop by smacking my phone or cleaning it with video cleaner.
But then I that was getting less effective so I finally had the power switch replaced again. I have tested the switch itself, and it does close the circuit when pressed. But I am still unable to turn on my phone. When its plugged in I dont see the charging battery icon either.
But if I let it sit for a while, and hold down on the power button occassionally it will turn on and I will see the google logo, but then it shuts down. I can also hold down power+vol down and somtimes turn on in recovery mode before the phone turns off.
I can only seem to keep the phone on for 1-4 seconds before it turns off.
I'm assuming that there must be some hardware damage somewhere. Perhaps its thermal related? I havent tried freezing or heating the logicboard yet, but am now considering that. I need to boot it up long enough to transfer a couple files.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what I might try?
