hi guys,
has anyone experienced a problem where their Trinity will not "wake up" with the short press of the on/off button?
I'm sure I read about this some time ago and am trying to work out if it's hardware or OS related.
I'm running mUn's TE WM6 which I have been for many months now.
The problem has only started in the last 2 weeks or so.
I haven't installed anything new, but have enabled Push Mail for OTA mail.
It's doing it 1 or 2 times a day now and is very frustrating. The only way to wake the phone is soft reset.
When calling the phone from a landline, it does not ring and goes to voicemail.
Any advice or solutions gratefully received.
no one seen this then I guess.
Bummer (for me!)
Try hard reset

thanks John.
But do you have any fact based reason for this suggestion?
I'm happy to give it a go if there's more than 50% chance it will work.

You might have loaded a program that is not liked. Use a backup program. If this does not work then load your backup after the hard reset and you will be back to where you started
P3600 with D810 WM6 ROM; also happens occasionally, recovered with soft reset. Seems to happen most often when I press the On/Off button twice too quickly.
thanks guys.
I'm going to try the hard reset route-I'll report back.
Some time ago this happened to me so often, but said it was due to some application, in my case was Slide2Unlock.
Since I removed by their consumption of memory it didn't happened to me.
(Sorry for my english)
Bugger, this has started to happen to me as well. Only 3 times in the last 3 days but if it keeps is up that will be enough for me to do a hard reset (overdue). Strange cause the only new thing I put on in the last week has been PCM 16 which is only a copy/paste exercise.
The fix in the Hermes forum is to force your device to sleep and not let it go into standby.
I have had some problems recently with DeviceLock 1.2 just ceasing to work and have to uninstall/reinstall to make it work again. I set it to turn the screen off when locked, as this does not put the device on standby, maybe there is the same issue with it going into standby by itself.
I have the same problem..i think that it has to do with the phone hanging..most probably due to some background programs eating too much power and memory and the phone just lacks till it hangs..happens when you have other programs that have hanged as well..my problem is with PocketAlarm..it takes so long to load my phone went to standby and the phone couldnt be called back..in brief the phone just hangs because of a program..i don think it has any problem do to with the hardware or strictly the OS..cant really explain..but the role the OS play in this problem is that it allows the program to make full use of the phone till the phone cant cope with it..its the core of the OS so it cant be avoided with any other versions or anything..sorry it seems rather unclear..hope you guys understand..
same problem for me ... from times to times, when a call hang up, i push a lot of times the red button for going back to the today screen and as it shows up, i click immediately on the Power button for turning off the screen. right after when i forgot to do something (approx 1sec) i push the power button and there it doesn't turn on the screen ... strange ...
what i've installed on it :
TomTom 6
BatteryStatus with today plugin ver 1.04.203 beta4 i put tray icons too.
i've bluezard for sniffing and/or hacking bluetooth devices.
OBDgauge too it's a software that works with a bluetooth dongle i plug into the diag port of my car.
and that's all. ah yes one more thing -> i disable the "HTC Home" because i don't like it.
Same problem here...
Still no solution?
I got this problem from some version of rom by Karmba. But V7.2 is OK so far. It seems happened when I close Egress reader by click X button then turn off screen by power switch. It then would not wakeup again. But if I close Egress and check the running programs from Task Manager to make sure the Egress is not running at the background, then I can turn on or off the screen freely.
So I think this wakeup problem is caused by some running program that was not closed properly by X button then crash the WM.
That was just my personal finding. Hope it help you guys a bit.
Is anyone else having the problem where after a soft reset(or a manual shutdown/restart) touchflo3d doesn't autostart?
It happens to me about 50% of the times I reset, but I jus thave to switch it off again and on again and usually it works fine.
Totally different, but I have this sometimes with Touch Flo 2D on my TyTn II. I usually get it if I've installed to much, It always launches if I haven't got the Micro SD card in though.
I've had this happening to me since I got it, and after a few hard resets it still happens... Seemingly at an increasing frequency too.
Yup, I'm experiencing the same problem.
It's really annoying, and more people are having this issue.
There's already a thread about this.
What works for me most of the time is this:
- Disable TF3D in settings.
- Soft reset device with power button
- Enable TF3D again
- Sometimes TF3D starts now, but if not reset again.
I can't wait for a more stable and fast cooked rom
Hope this helps
Oh Sorry, I couldn't find the other thread. I just keep resetting and hopee it randomly decides to starts. Love this phone, just a few things that really annoy me
The inability to find a way to make it autolock(not standby) after X seconds for example. If anyone can help with that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

DId you install any apps?
These kind of problems are mostly caused when 2 programs interfere with eachother. Teh reason why one time it does start up and the other time it doesn't is the sequence of programs starting up. Most of the time touch flow 3d will start later (because it's so big)
i have had this happen a couple of times as well.

I doubt it's caused by that. I've hard reset it installed core and tomtoma nd had it happen..
and I'm sure it's not just slow to start up, I've tried making calls and simply leaving it for 10 minutes and it still doesnt start up.
It only started haooening to me after I instaled software.
I guess the best thing to do right now, is to install all software with touchflo disabled, then reboot completly the device to finalize the instaltion, and then reboot it again. Now you can reactivate Touchflo again.
This "trick" has worked perfectly on my Pro 2
HastaSSSS
disable startup
Many programs that you install will leave a startup file in the windows\startup directory. Try cutting and pasting them to some temporary directory. I did that with poutlook and slovoed and the problem has gone away for me, without in any way impairing my calendar/contacts or slovoed functioning.
I got the same problem too.. soft resetting a few times do it or disable/re-enable on Personal-Today Items screen
Kinda annoying
Same problem here. Spoke to HTC today and tol them there were more people having this problem. Mine is so serious that it won't start at all! HTC says I was the first and ONLY one in the world with this problem. They told me that if there were more people having this issue they should CALL HTC. It's free to call them... please do so in finding a solution!
Thanks!
I am suffering under the same issue! It is really annoying! HTC should immediately sovle this problem!
Sounds a bit like my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3950507
I copied manila.exe from windows to my start-up folder, now it works fine.
yeah i have the same problem its really annoying. it works about 90% of the time now when i copied the manilla.exe to start up folder. before that i tried to put the phone in airplane mode before booting but that worked like half of the time.

touch flor not loading
My phone is hanging again. I can't get it to load Touch Flo 3D. I get this message that it's trying to activate handsfree network and then it says connected and reboots and goes through the same thing 2 or 3 times. I hard reset back in Dec cause of this and then the same thing happened again about a month ago and out of the blue it loaded touch flo and fixed itself.
But this time it's been a couple days and my phone is so slow it's crazy. It's been trying to remove one program for 20 minutes. I thought removing a few programs might help instead of doing another hard reset but it looks like i'm gonna have to do one more.. I haven't added anything new lately. And I even got a message saying your phone can not boot up because of a program from an untrusted source or something else and it wants me to hard reset. It says press volume up to reset or any key to continue and then it goes to that hands activation screen.
Iv'e tried enableing and disabling bluetooth. Sprint store said I have a bad phone cause of that hands free actication message I keep getting and they want to order me aother phone but it's going to be a refurb so I guess i'll hard reset.. Something is causeing it to hang and not load and I don't know what it is.. But I came here and I tired puttingmy phone in airplane mode and rebooted nothng. I have unchecked and checked touch flo and rebooted..
But I went to windows and saw manilla.exe cause you guys said copy it to start up and I clicked on it and I saw my background and clock again but I don't think Touch Flo fully loaded and my task manager wasn't at the top and I ran clean ram cause it was still slow and it said it freed up 32mb but then my screen went black again. I put it in airplane mode once more and took out the battery. But when I never pasted the manila to start up should I do that? I just clicked on it and saw where my clock and background were back but my clock was off by like 15-20 minutes.. I'm sure I'll probablyt have to hard reset but wanted to ask around a couple more times before doing one.. Rose
I was sitting in my den and my friend said he texted me but I didn't get it. I went to check my phone and it seemed ok but no text. I then went to make a phone call and it hung. I went to turn it to airplane mode and it froze. When I restarted it, now I get the black screen with the top and bottom menu bar but no touchflo 3d loading. I get some weird hands free activation message and then it says successful and reboots my phone. When the phone starts back up it is in the same condition without touchflo 3d and the reboot loop continues unless I click cancel.
If I run manilla.exe it will boot up and my today screen will come back but it is SLOW and it doesn't seem to have completely loaded.
WTF happened and how do I fix this?
Same thing happened to me.. Touchflo wouldn't load phone was so slow hands free message kept coming and saying connected and rebooting. I did a hard reset and was good for a couple months then out of the blue on day it did it again. I turned off phone and left battery off overnight and just got lucky and the next day as I was getting in my car it came back on.
But then a few weeks later it did it again and I took it to a Sprint store. I was told that the handsfree activation is something that only happens once when you 1st get a new phone and they said my phone was defective. They were going to order me another one but it was going to be refurbed so I never picked up and just dealt with a hard reset once again. Don't know what causes this but I've had my phone reset for over a week and I just now tonight started putting apps back on cause I was afraid ut had to do with something I installed I really don't know what causes it.. But my touchflo wouldn't load at all compeltely black screen no today screen at all and boy was my phone slow. I went to windows and clicked on manilla.exe also and saw my today screen but it was still slow and not completely loading up to touchflo like you said. And then I read about putting it in airplane mode turning off BT nothing worked for me this last time so I did a heard reset again..
Maybe someone else knows what causes this but I'm leary and am not going to put everything back on my phone that was on there but I've put most everything back.. Sorry I wasn't much help but same thing for me hands free siad connected and would reboot and over and over.. I kind of want an Android phone now and I don't think Sprint should of offered me a refurb when I just bought this in Sept and it's an expensive phone. But oh well things happen.. Good Luck!

I don't know how it started but my Tilt 2 keeps falling asleep (screen off) after 5 seconds. This happens whether it is plugged in or on battery. The only way to stop it is to open Google Maps (I think Google Maps prevents sleeping on purpose) but as soon as Google Maps looses focus (even opening the Google Maps menu), after 5 seconds the phone goes back to sleep.
I have turned off all the power settings to no avail. I have been using SU2U lock for over a month with no problems. The last change to the phone was installing Gyrator about a week ago but this still occurs even with Gyrator not running.
Help!
One additional bit of info. It goes to sleep even if the phone is not idle. I could be in the middle of clicking something and then...LIGHTS OUT!
are you accidentally hitting the power button by any chance, particularly when the hardware keyboard is out, this is happening to a lot of people
(there is a cab fix for this by h andy)
edit... i just noticed you said its happening at 5 second intervals. obviously that cant be the power button issue.
Mine did too
My tilt 2 was doing the same thing.
I was worried that I had a bad phone.
I was on NRG's 4 dec 21XXX when this was happening. I reflashed twice, and still the same problem.
Reflashed to the 10 DEC 21XXX and it went away (well as for one day that is)
Phew!!!
Ugh. I was hoping reflashing wasn't the solution. I am still using the stock ROM with a bunch of software installed.
At least I am not crazy. Someone else is having the same problem on their Diamond 2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558904
I have found that the placement of the lights out button is very very bad for typing with the physical keyboard, I am still relearning how to keep my knuckle away from it.
Update on this problem. I removed Smart Lock and soft resetted a few times. So far so good.
I am not accidentally hitting the sleep button.
Hello,
So I bought a G3 the day before yesterday and yesterday was my first day with it, and for that first day my phone had shutdown twice on its own. The first time was when my phone was lying on the bed and doing nothing, it had around 50% battery and was not hot or anything.
The second time was this night i don't know when, i have put my G3 on the charger and went to sleep i woke up and it had shutdown.
I didn't made factory reset when i got i from the box which i will when i come home from work and hopefully this will fix it, but does anyone have a problem like that? If is something serious i will be disappointed to return the phone.
p.s. My previous phone was galaxy s2 and had this king of problem only with custom roms and kernels, but i have not put anything on the G3 yet, except activating the developers options and had switched it to ART and the first time the phone had shutdown i thought that the art was the issue and switched it back to dalvik, the second time though was on dalvik.

I have the exact same problem. The past few days when I go to bed and wake up in the morning, the phone has shut itself off. I haven't rooted or installed any custom roms.
I would advise you both to take a factory reset, only install apps you need for a few days and see if the problem persists, if it doesn't install your apps back one by one as it may well be a particular app causing the reboots.
If you still get reboots after the reset and with no apps installed then you may have to take the phone back to swap it.

Yes as I said in the first post the factory format and hard reset will be the first thing that will be done as soon I am at home. About the apps i have pretty much basic apps (facebook, messenger, soundcloud, etc) all from the market except smashhit of which i have the apk and installed from the internal memory.
Except those apps I have 2 mp3s and some wallpapers and nothing else, becouse when i got my phone it was late on the evening and i had no time to do anything else. So the phone is pretty much out off the box and I was verry frustrated when the secound shutdown happened, becouse i tought the first was from the ART runtime.
Anyway today I will have more time to spend on the phone and we will see what will happend.
p.s. The phone does not reboots, just shuts off.

Is it definitely off or is the phone just stuck on a black screen? It is quite common on some devices when something is not quite right for the kernel to be unable to wake the phone up, the phone is still technically on but stuck in deep sleep.
does holding the power button for 2 seconds turn it on? or do you have to hold it for say 7-8 seconds?

It is definetly shut down around 2 seconds(the normal time to hold the power button to turn on) it turns on and work perfectly and does not show anything suspicious in its behavior, it's super fast, not laggy and etc, may be a little high on ram consumptions but with this havy skin i think it is normal or could not be normal idk, the ram consumptions go from about 1,2GB the lowest i have seen to up to 2,3 the highes i have seen.
Anyway about the shut off think yes defenetly 100% sure it is off, it happend again a while ago and i thoght the same thing may be it si deep asleep even i had chacked the weather 10 min ago and call myself from a friends phone and the operator said that the phone is off or i am somewhere without network covarage.
i got same problem. it turn off it selft and black screen even battery still 70%. rmust remove the battery to restart again, ealy bad. huft

If you have to remove the battery to get it to restart then its not actually shut off, its just stuck in deep sleep! which is usually caused by a bad app.
Yes if you have to remove the battery the problem is different, i just have to push the power button and it boots right away after it have shuted off by its self........
i didnt have this issue with my 855. but i did a factory reset after i got the phone just for the hell of it
So it's reset time i finally have some time to the some staff on the phone so hopefully everything will be fine. I will post if this fix or not the problem to inform the other people in this thread.

Hi all!
I have and have had the same problem and think I've pinpointed the problem to Google Search but can't 100% confirm it yet. I didn't do a factory reset when I got the phone and it shutdown during the night. I did a factory reset, made sure it got enough time to update everything properly. Problem was gone and worked fine. HOWEVER, the phone kept asking me which home screen I prefer at random times when I hit the home button. With random I mean like 4+ times per day. I searched the net and found a threat saying that a guy with a G2 solved the problem by removing Google Search updates. So I decided to do just that and get the factory version back and the questions disappeared but guess what, the phone shut down the following night.
Any takers or might this just be random? Note that it was working fine for three days with the updated Google Search and shutdown the first night after the downgrade.
So I did hard reset and so far so good the phone had not shutted down itself, and I updated everything which need to be updated (mentioning this for the guy with the upper post). So far so good I will keep you in touch if something goes bad...

I suggest take it to your dealer and get it replaced asap. I've seen lots of returned phones(my job at XXXXXXX company ) with the same issue, and as long as the defect is reproducible the dealer will give you a new phone. If it's outa replacement period then they'll probably repair it.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand shut down again but this time it took quite a bit time longer to shut off by its self so i tought the problem was fixed, but it's not, so i am going to the store which i buy it from to replace the device.....
Does this also happen with the korean models?
Hello Smart People,
I have an unlocked at&t note 4 and for the past 2 week my phone will freeze for 1-2 minutes then it will be useable again or if it is not doing that will randomly reboot when I am using the phone. So benging of last week I called tmobile since I have them now. I spoke to tech support. Told them my problem and they had me turn off the phone and take the sd card out and then boot into recovery to clear the cache. That did not work. Within 5 minutes of have the phone back at the home screen it froze again. So tmobile said that it was not the sd card in the phone. Told me to turn the phone off and put the sdcard back in the phone. Then I rebooted back the home screen. They said that at this point all I could do was back the info on my phone and do a master factory reset of the whole phone. I told them I could not do it right then and there. They said if it still happens after the master factory reset then you will need to get the phone reflashed to have the software fully reinstalled and they could not do the reflash of the software since my phone was an at&t branded version of the note 4 so I would have to call at&t and see if they could reflash it for me. So the next day I backed up my phone using samsung smart switch software on my pc and master factory reset the phone from the recovery menu. When it was done I resetup the phone and it still froze and reboot randomly. So I called at&t and spoke to tech support and told them my problem and what tmobile say to do. They told me they could do the reflash but since I am no longer a customer they was nothing they could do for me. But I could go to best buy to a Samsung experience store and they could reflash my phone with for me with the latest software that at&t had out. So I went to the Samsung store inside of best buy. I told the lady my problem and what tmobile had me do and what at&t told me. She told me she could do the reflash but I already had the latest version of the at&t software on my phone all ready. I told her that tmobile told me the hardware in my phone is all good and that however I got the at&t update it did not apply correctly and that I need a reflash. She took my phone and started to plug in to her computer to do the reflash. After it was done she gave me my phone back. On the screen it was in recovery mode trying to reboot back to the phone screen. I showed the phone to the Samsung store lady and she told me I had to wait and it would reboot to the home screen. I thanked the lady for helping me out and left the best buy store. Got to my car and the phone now had a black screen so I took out the battery and put it back in and turned on the phone and it booted in to recovery mode not the home screen. From the recovery screen I picked reboot the phone and once again booted to recovery mode. So I walked back in to best buy and talked to the Samsung lady and was like this is very weird it should not be doing this. She also took out the battery and put it back a few times. Still phone was rebooting to recovery mode and not the home screen. So she called her tech support to figure out how she could fix my problem since now my phone was 100% not useable. The Samsung lady’s tech support had her plugin the phone to the computer again and reflash the software. But it failed at 3%. She was told to tried it again it failed at 20% this time. So she was told try it again and it failed this time at 50%. So she was told to try it one last time and this time it went all the way to 100% and she keep the phone connected to the pc until it was fully rebooted but again it rebooted to the recovery more screen not home screen. She told me that she would have to keep my phone and next day ask Samsung for the full flash of the software to download for my phone since she only had the latest update. So I left my phone with her and waited for her to call me and let me know that my phone was all good to go. I went back the second day after giving Samsung my phone and the lady told me that she did not run the full flash because she came in the first day after I give her my cell phone and it was at the home screen. I thanked the lady and left the best buy store. When I got home I download an app from the google play store and the phone rebooted on me. So the problem is still there! The phone so far has not frozen on me which I guess in grand scheme of things is good, but I am not calling this over just yet. So smarter people of xda Is there anything I can do to fix this phone so I can still use it and not have to worry about it or is it time to just bite the bullet and get a new phone even though there is nothing out that I like.
We're in the same boat
I am having the same exact issue. I just got my phone flashed at the Samsung experience kiosk at best buy only to use it and find out it still randomly slows down then crashes and restarts. It at times crashes as its restarting and continues a boot loop for a while. What can be done?
1.Battery is about to die or 2. Uninstall good luck
I'm having the same issue with my ATT Note 4 it started a couple weeks ago as well
Was in the same boat
Install a app called WakeLock from the play store. Use the level 4 option and yours troubles will be gone.
I had the same issue for 2 weeks and then came across this gem on one of the forums. Has not caused an issue for the last 2 weeks now.
Is that app wake lock powermanager be Darken? There are a few wakelock apps.
I'm in same boat as well. NOTE 4 worked great until a few weeks ago. Then MANY freezes, reboots, etc. I almost think aTT pushed something down intentionly (ita called planned obscellesence) to force an upgrade. Not reall5, but I do wonder .

Worked like a charm!
Edit. Worked for a while but apparently my battery was trash. New battery came yesterday and solved all issues i was having.
WOW! I was ready to throw my note 4 in the garbage because of all that crud! This app is AWESOME and did fix my issues. Thanks a ton for those that recommended it. My note 4 runs wonderful now, and probably will be PLENTY sufficient for me for another 2-3 years. Unfortunately, this issue has REALLY dampened my outlook on SAMSUNG and cell companies for that matter. It's in their best interest that people DO upgrade phones every 2 years or so.
Help please
Brother I have a problem, I upgrade my computer to Marshmallow 6.1.1, but to days if I used the camera, the phone was turned off and I had to remove the battery and by odin I downloaded it to version 5.1.1 but now I reboot Every time, it overheats, if I restart the phone does not turn on if I do not remove the battery the same I turn it off, try to install version 6.1.1 but do not leave the rescovery mode and install version 5.1.1 but with the Failures that I just comment. IF YOU CAN HELP ME THANK YOU

battery issues
Just want to say was about to throw out my note 4 this week for the same issues. I installed the wake lock app (darken), have it set on 'partial wake lock' and AMAZING my phone seems to be operating normally! Thank you, and spread the word.
Wow! Thanks to all for the great tip. You saved my Note 4!
Since the latest OTA ROM upgrade from AT&T, (6.0.1, baseband N910AUCS2EAK5) my normally solid note 4 phone worked like garbage! It would slow way, way down, especially on a strenuous task, and quite often reboot spontaneously. It was so frustrating, I had to carry a second phone just to make sure I could be reached.
I did everything - wiped cache, factory reset and was just about to ODIN flash an earlier ROM when I can across this tip on XDA. This Wakelock app is phenomenal!
It seems as though Samsung / AT&T released the last patch with faulty power management. This app bypasses the whole issue by NOT allowing the phone to enter deep sleep. Problem Solved! Perhaps battery life takes a small hit, but who cares! We just have to hold on until the Note 8 arrives!

Totally donating to Darken (via play store) for saving my phone from the garbage, and saving me $500 to upgrade to a phone I don't want! Best $2.31 ever!
Still need the app
I just did the OTA upgrade from AT&T. I am now on baseband N910AUCS2EQD1 (6.0.1) I was hoping this upgrade would fix the problems, but it didn't. Still need the app!
my daughters note 4 has been randomly rebooting and sometimes when it reboots it sticks at the att symbol or it even goes to download mode? it started after att did a update . i told here to try the wakelock and let me know how it goes but has anyone had it reboot where it says could not reboot then has the android and do not shut off target?
Would anyone happen to know how well Wake Lock plays with Good Lock and/or power saving mode? My battery is ready to retire (seems to be at about half-capacity if that's the right terminology, new one on the way) and I've been having these freezes and reboots happen to me over the last few weeks; often at annoying inconvenient times.
My new battery should be here before this week ends, but I'm just looking for some insight for the few days in the interim. Thank you in advance for any responses.
...Noted (SM-N910A)
well tried wake lock and it seemed to help but did not fix the problem, phone was flawless and worked perfect before 6.01 . now reboots during call and downloading updates from playstore ect. sent it to samsung and they said it would be $70 to repair so i sent it in. they called and said the screen has ghosting and need a lcd, i think they broke it and didnt want to pay for it but they had it and i had to get it fixed. i now have it back with the newest att rom and updates with a new motherboard housing and screen for $185 but it works perfect like it did before with 5.0 so there is a hardware issue gong on with certain boards from what i have been reading in other forums its the early production ones. must be ram or internal sd who knows but whatever it is the marshmallow rom brings it out. did not want to spend the money but it was worth it. no lag and very snappy again and no reboots. i wish samsung would admit there is a issue with the note 4
