My battery was down to 15% and I put the phone in Ultra Battery mode, I think it's called, but how do I get out of it now I'm able to charge it?
What do you mean? You can't exit ultra mode? It's in the upper right and sure you can charge ur phone.
ok panic over, the option to exit power saving mode via the menu didn't want to appear. A touch sensitivity adjustment needed there.

Yes, cheers for responding! The menu didn't want to appear. A touch sensitivity problem. I kept poking and eventually got it to appear. Thanks again.

Orbit2 - the on/off button at the top is non responsive . It means when my backlight turns off I have to reset the device to use it again. I have disabled the backlight timeout for now,but it is an extra drain on the battery and im worried if the device turns off I will not be able to turn it on again. Any solutions ?
Is this an problem anymore?
Got the same now, an opened the device.
The button is mountet at 4 points, at mine 2 are brocken => no contact, no function...
After being quoted 100quid to fix it, I changed the settings so any button will take the device out of sleep mode. It is not fixed but this way works ok .

I have the same problem but can't find the setting that will allow me to un-sleep my phone with any button.
I use rom: 3LIT3_VIII_Full NLD
I think that these setting has been disabled in the rom.
Is there a register setting?
thanks
I do not know anything about roms.
You can turn off sleep mode in the battery saver I think. But means your battery gets used more quickly . The other way I tried was in the settings where any button will turn off sleep mode. This way was better.
Same problem! Although me being the idiot that I am have just dropped the battery and have no way of turning it back on. Any ideas?? Anyone?
Just plug your charger in press the camera and reset then you should get the spl screen then press the reset to boot into windows.This will only work if you are getting power ie from your charger or usb.

Is your phone led lighting up when plugged in ? If not could be usb not working,if it is could be your camera button knackered to so can't get to the spl screen.
Then plug your phone in then do a hard reset except dont press the send button then you should boot into windows without loosing any data.
Hello, i have the Lenco CoolTab70 tablet and i cannot turn it on. The tablet only gives a black screen. I cannot enter the download mode (power+ vol. down) nor the recovery mode ( power+ vol. up). When i tried it i got the black screen. When I try to charge, it soon reaches 100% but again shows low battery soon after disconnecting only to display full battery again without recharging. When connected to PC, the tablet has light around the side and i see the battery icon (but the PC does not see the tablet). I cannot flash android. I tried to boot android from an SD card, but it does not work. Power button not responding.
Thank you for your help and time.
PS: Sorry for my English, I am from the Czech republic

Thank you for answer . Tablet never dropped. It's after bad root and flash custom ROM. LCD works without problems- no problem with the cable. Sorry for my English.
My phone's touch functionality works fine. But the screen goes black after a flickering of the current screen. It only turns on for a fraction of a second if I put into charge or press the power button.
Tried soft resets.
Could not access recovery or fastboot to wipe.
Adb is not enabled.
Please help?

Prolly bad display, go ahead and change it, you can confirm it's a hw problem if you go to recovery mode and it does that again without the sw loaded it is hw.. if i was any helpful to you please make sure you click the thanks button .
First of all I appreciate any and all help on this matter. My problem is simple yet the solution escapes me. My phone starts up fine works fine and there are no problems....until I wake it up from sleep. The phone itself comes on and I can tell that the screen wakes up, but there's no blacklight, just a very dark home screen. So far the only annoying thing i have to do is reset it and it works fine again....until it goes back to sleep. I guess my question is, is this an issue that can be resolved (software). Or is it unfixable without screen replacement (hardware).
You need to test a few things beforehand.
Does it only produce this issue if the screen times out, or by manually pressing the power key to turn the screen off, or both?
Does the screen appear dim when you wake it up via the power button, hard pressing the home button to wake, or using your fingerprint scanner to turn on and unlock your device or a combination of those listed?
I would try safe mode.
You can boot into safe mode by following the below instructions:
1. Power off your device in question
2. Press and hold the power button to turn on the phone
3. When the Samsung logo disappears, release the power key and press and hold the volume down key
4. Continue holding the volume down key until the phone has finished restarting
5. You should now be in safe mode and can verify by looking in the bottom left of the screen for text that states you're in safe mode
After you have successfully booted into safe mode you need to allow your screen to turn off manually, automatically, or both(whichever results in a dim screen when normally booted up) when testing the below steps.
Turn your screen on via the power button and see if the issue remains.
Turn your screen on via the hard press to wake home button (not sure if this is available from safe mode, but worth a try) and see if the issue remains.
Turn your screen on via the fingerprint sensor (not sure if this works from safe mode either) and see if the issue remains.
If all successfully turn on the screen with normal brightness then I would say it's more than likely NOT a hardware issue. If one or the other does not produce normal screen brightness then it's more than likely hardware. If all result in a dim screen then it could be either hardware or corrupt software.

The problem is reproduced irregardless of the method used to put the phone to sleep. I will give it a try in safe mode tonight. I also wanted to add that randomly the screen will power on normally but never on the first wake attempt.

Let me know the results of safe mode once you have tried that.

It still reproduces the problem in safe mode. i tried to wake it with the power button, home buttonand the fingerprint sensor... also under forced sleep mode and letting it time out itself.

At this point, it's more than likely hardware but because it's intermittent you could try using Odin to flash firmware. I would advise you to look to the appropriate forum for instructions. And as always, if you have the ability then backup the data you wish to keep, do it prior to flashing the software.

Well I figured it out. there was damage to the sensor that determines how light or dark it is. If I cover the top part of the screen with my finger then wake the device, it comes on every time. I hope this helps other people out in the future.

Try this then:
Under display settings turn off "Block accidental touches"
See if that results in not having to block your sensor every time.
**Edit**
By the way, glad you figured it out.
Hi, I rooted an old Galaxy S4 with Odin. The phone booted successfully and worked correctly during some days. After that I installed TWRP. Tried to reboot in recovery mode and it booted successfully.
Then I tried to reboot the phone using the power key but unfortunately got a black screen: no boot at all.
So I entered in "download mode" pressing Volume-, Power Key, Home in order to flash the phone with an original Samsung rom but I got the following strange behaviour:
Pressing Volume-, Power Key, Home -> I get the first advice screen saying that I should press Volume+ to actually enter into download mode -> I press Volume+ -> the screen "download mode" appears as it was expected but vanishes after some seconds and turns to black screen.
Do you think that the phone is bricked ?
Any idea to explain this behaviour ?
Thanks
Hint: Add Galaxy S4 to front of this thread's title thus mainly owners of such phone get addressed.
Make sure your phone battery is at least 50%. Same happened to me with another brands phone. I just removed the battery and plugged back in to make sure it is powered off. Then I plugged to wall and saw it had 0% battery.

Hi, thx for the suggestion. I already tried this but it did not solve the problem.
Here are the actions I already tried without any succes:
- unplug/plug the battery then try to enter into download mode -> same strange behaviour as described previously.
- charge the battery during some hours then try to enter into download mode -> same strange behaviour as described previously.
I also mesuread the battery voltage whithout taking it off the device and the result was that the outputs is 3,8 V which is the required voltage.
Do you think that using an USBJIG could help ?
