I noticed my battery was going empty very quick (after 1 day in standby) when I noticed that even when my keyboard is in that the light keeps burning. I can see it between the display and the keyboard.
What happened: the other day I flashed the ROM with the ROMeOS v1.40.1. All was ok, then my battery was empty and suddenly out of the blue my phone crashed. It would not even hard reset. Total dark screen. I charged it for the whole night but it was dead. Then, hours later, just as sudden as it crashed it started again. I quickly charged the bat and then I noticed the light of the keyboard stays on. Now I am not saying that flashing the rom caused this since I don't know if this problem was already there before the crash. But I do believe that the bat is drained quicker as the light does not shut off.
Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to turn the light off? i already did another hard reset and flashed the rom again.
Phone: htc touch pro
OS: ROMeOS 1.40.1
p.s. also would love to know which radio is the best at the moment for the TP
I had the same issue with the stock ROM and had it happen with RRE and ROMeOS, thus I believe it is NOT ROM related. I tried to figure out the pattern and it may be related to quickly sliding it out and back in without any further action. Will keep an eye on it.
thanks! Hope to hear of a solution soon. Will notify you if I should come across a solution too.
Anyone else has this problem? The light not going off drains the bat within a couple of hours! Fully charged the bat overnight and the phone was dead at 1400 hours that afternoon!
Not sure if anyone is still reading this thread, but I experienced this as well and documented it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461538
BTW, do you use PocketController or similar software?
Hi
So I have a spinoff of the AllWinner A10 tablet and I recently ran into a strange issue. After playing for an hour the battery was still 100%.
However later while playing the tablet just switched off. I plugged it in, thinking battery was dead and it started. But it's still showing 100%. Apparently the system isn't getting the right battery status.
Any ideas?
Bump. This is killing me
Hello,
I have 7" A15 LDK MID tablet.
interesting I have the same issue with my tablet.
It just turns off with no warning (no shutting down message) at all at 20-23%.
I'm also trying to figure out why it is happening. My friend tells me that it cause is ICS 4.0.3 and he has same problem on his mobile phone.
Till now (i have it for 7 days) I was hoping it will get stable with multiply charges but no effect.
Tommorrow I'm taking it to service. I left around 27% of battery to see immediately what is happening.
I hope that it is a battery issue so I'll get a new one with correct battery. Else I'll be forced to get another type of tablet and be dissapointed because I was sugested by a guy who imported these tablets that are very good.
I doubt....
Anyway, read you in a couple of days to tell you what happened.

Thanks mate.
I just wiped battery stats from cwm and charged to 100 then rewiped and recharged to 100.
It's working for now
Anyone come across this? I put it on standby last night after reading a bit of my book on it, and it had around 50% power remaining. This morning, it was totally unresponsive; pressing the power button does nothing at all. I've charged it for 12 hours in the meantime.
I've done the following all with and without the power attached:
- Pressed and held power for 15 seconds through to a minute
- Pressed and held volume up with power to attempt to get into recovery for up to a minute
- Pressed and held volume down with powerfor up to a minute
- Pressed and held power while touching screen (read that one off another forum)
I guess potentially it could be on and in a crashed state and unresponsive to the power, so maybe in a weeks time when it runs out of juice, I'll be able to charge it and power it back up, but in the meantime, I'd welcome suggestions.
A few weeks ago I updated it to the official ICS build that was released, but did the update myself rather than using KIES, as KIES didn't even recognise my Tab's firmware original version. It's been absolutely fine before the update, and since. I only mention it because I've read about the Samsung build of ICS being prone to self bricking itself, but I couldn't determine what the symptoms of this vulnerability were.
Thanks for any help offered,
Will
did you try connecting USB cable and plugging it into your PC? did u get any activity? can ADB recognize your tab?
I think your tab just ran out of juice and the battery's protection circuit has kicked in. Try taking it to an electronic shop and plugging in different chargers preferably one with an output more than 2.1 amps to kickstart the charging. Plug it in and wait till the charging animation starts.

Had the same problem while on holidays. Once the battery goes below a certain level, you won't be able to charge it through USB any more. Instead you need to use the wall charger.
I think it's bad enough that the 7.7 doesn't have a micro USB port, but things like that are just stupid and Samsung made a big mistake here. It don't think it's the same with the newer tablets though. It's also not possible to just buy cables or chargers for this strange Samsung port, so when you forget your wall charger at home at some point you won't be able to use your tablet any more.
As long as you charge with the USB cable early enough, you can avoid it though.
A few months ago I experienced the same thing, the Tab just wouldn't turn on anymore.
I tried all there is without any luck.
Contacted amazon and they replaced it with a new one in less than 48 hours.
So far not Problems with the new device.
I have the P6800 and this morning I took it off charge. Put it into standby and only used it for about 20 mins then left in standby all day. It had about 95% remaining when I did so.
Picked it up this evening and the lower left area of the screen was warm and it would not switch on. Didn't think of the ADB idea but will try this next time but I had to reset it and when it powered on tonight after the reset, it was down to 15%. Within about 2 mins of checking stuff it was down to 3%.
Something is running when it is in standby but as I can't switch it on I can't check with BetterBatteryStats or CPUState to know what is wrong.
It does this every day. I am tempted to do a factory reset and reinstall only limited software.
Dave...
I see this thread is a little old but this has just happened to my P6810 too. A pity nobody reported back what the end result was.
My device had at least 95% battery last night but today I can't get it to respond at all, I've tried the wall charger and still nothing.
Anything else someone could suggest for me?
Edit. I tried getting anything from it connected to my PC but it couldn't find a device there. However I then tried it on the wall charger again and now get a blue battery icon, quite big, with a five step animation indicating that it is charging.
No idea how it went flat as the battery on this lasts a long time assuming the screen isn't on. When it boots properly I'll have a look at what the most recent apps I installed were as it has only done this once. Before this it has been perfect for the three weeks I've had it.

This is the infamous Sleep-Of-Death issue that is randomly experienced by myself and other users here, usually happens when WiFi bugs out due to weak signal

hhmmm, interesting.
I was having trouble with wifi just before this happened. Both my GS2 and this have been claiming to connect to my wifi but aren't actually getting an IP address from it.
I can't remember if it was last night or the night before but I manually set an IP address, the signal strength is fine as my abode isn't very big.
After it has recharged I'll have a poke and see what I can find, thanks for the reply.
So my device seems to be working fine again. It had gone SO flat that the date and time were incorrect!
After I could power it on I had a look at Better Battery Stats and nothing looked wrong so I have no idea what happened. None of the apps I'd installed the day before it played up had long wakelocks and weren't running when I turned it off.
For reference they were:
My Tracks
MyTrails
Google Earth
AndSMB
I'd turned both of the GPS tracking devices off before I turned it off for the night.
It hasn't played up since but it hasn't been long so I'll see what happens.
Yeah, the sleep of death is incredibly annoying. Honestly, the GTab 7.7 is a **** device. Samsung made way too many mistakes and won't do anything to fix it.
A similar thing happens to me every once in awhile. The way i check to make sure everything alright is to see if it boots into download mode. I just leave it plugged in for a couple hours and it eventually comes back on.

this is why my 7.7 is the last tablet/phone from Samsung i'll never trust them they are just bombarding the market with new devices and leaving the old ones to dust
^thats what I thought too but that gs4 is really tempting. I've heard worse about HTC in that regard anyways so that why I'm not going with the one.
Finally.. i bought Sony xperia Z.
I'll sell my galaxy tab 7.7. I.m very disappointed with samsung.

Unbelievable! ... this trick still works ... thank you very much for you help ...
^^ yo, this 'trickle charge' trick did NOT work on my (long) dead P6800... any other suggestions??
Quite strange because my Samsung GT-P6800 tablet was fully charged, it went completely blank dark as if it was off. To my amazement, SMS keeps dropping and calls kept coming in. Yet it is still as blank as though the tab was off. I pressed the power button and the volume up bottom for it to reboot. It rebooted without the screen coming up. It has been blank for two days now. What could be the cause? And what possible solution can be given?
So I upgraded to JB via OTA yesterday with no problems. Today I'm reading an article on Chrome and the tablet screen shuts off and after a few seconds it looks like it's in the process of rebooting so I set it down and leave thinking it'll be booted up again when I come back but I was confused why it rebooted in the first place.
Anyways, about an hour and a half later I come back and my tablet is super heated to the point that it burns to touch it. The screen was blank but it looked like the backlight was on or something because it wasn't the same as if the screen was actually turned off. I held the power button down several seconds until it powered off and rebooted and then I set it down by my AC so that it could cool off. After a minute or so it booted up like normal to the main screen and it showed that the battery had drained from 95% when it first happened to 37% so it was obviously stuck doing something very CPU intensive during that hour and a half.
Does anyone have a clue what happened and if I should do something? I just bought this tablet from Best Buy yesterday without their additional warranty but should I either take it back there or possibly contact ASUS of a replacement or something? I know how bad that kind of heat is for computer components and it bothers me it was like that even for 1.5 hours. Also my tablet has not been rooted so it was completely stock save for the few apps I've installed so far.
Thanks in advance!
Had the exact same thing happen to mine about a month ago. Was worried afterwards that the excessive heat would have caused damage but so far have not seen any ill effects.

I would just take it back. Doesn't seems normal at all!
Ok well I feel a little bit better that I'm not the only one to experience this problem. It makes me nervous that this happened so I'll probably contact Asus and see what the deal is.
