So earlier today I was using my phone in class when it suddenly shuts off. It shutting off was normal to me so like always, I take the battery out and put it back in. It turns back on gets to one of the loading screens and shuts off. My phone keeps vibrating while it's off so I don't think it could be the battery. Occasionally if I'm lucky, it would fully load to the point where I could use it but then shuts off and the whole process repeats again. I'm using the juggernaut rom if that helps.
Any ideas?
Odin back to stock and root your device and restore to your previous ROM if u have a backup of that ROM on your phone

Did you have your USB connected to your computer and your phone while trying to go into download mode I couldn't tell in the video ?

I didn't have it in in the video and I tried it too, it doesn't do/change anything. I can get into download mode for literally a second and then the same thing just happens, it turns off and the little vibrating continues and remains in that state until I remove the battery and put it back in.

I know how to put it in recovery mode, I'm saying in general whenever the battery is in, the phone is vibrating and shut off
Wish I could help but I don't know

Sounds like it could be a stuck power button...at least as I've read other descriptions of similar symptoms. Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931310

Hi, im on wicked rom with the native call recording option. Anytime im on call, screen closes and turns black. I can not see anything unless I hit the power button which turns screen back on. The screen use to open as soon as I took my phone from my cheek. Is this auto screen time out how its supposed to be or is there an issue?

Are you using a case? Specifically an OtterBox, by chance? It's relevant.

Hah, I had put mine on within minutes of buying the phone. Little did I know it was screwing with the proximity sensor. I just thought that, for some reason, the S4's proximity sensor was supposed to turn the screen off until you hit the power button again during a call. But I read a thread where someone was complaining about the same thing and the recommendation was to take the case off and color the edge of the case around where the speaker, front camera, etc with a silver sharpie. It worked... All I'm saying, if OP has a case, try taking it off and see if the phone functions correctly. If it does, it's the case and can be fixed with a silver sharpie. If not, there's something else going on.

It's just the dialer that I have open. I do have a case (neo-hybrid spigen), but after I took it off the same thing happens. As soon as I call, the screen turns black and I need the power button to turn it on. I even turned off the smart stay TW feature, but it still does the same thing.

Download an app called "Proximity Sensor Finder" That might at least tell you if the sensor is just not registering the fact that it's being uncovered.

Unfortunately the screen protector was not the problem either....Could it just be the Wicked rom? Does anyone else have this issue? Could it also be the modified secphone.apk I have for the call recording?

Easy enough to rule out; try using a stock version of secphone.apk and see if the problem still exists.

I'm on Wicked V4 amd don't have this problem. Screen turns on and off as supposed to. I also have an Iloome Tempered Glass which covers the sensors with no issues. Have you tried doing a fresh install?

I had this issue on stock rom... ended up exchanging the phone as the prox sensors "stopped" responding for some reason.

I'm also running Wicked ROM (with native call recording). The only thing I noticed is that there's a noticeable delay for the screen to turn back on, but that's all.
Try waiting ~5 seconds and see if it turns on.
I have this issue too. I think it's call recording related.

I'm running Wicked, but do not have the problem you describe. Proximity sensor works as it should during calls.
Hi there,
having issues with my Galaxy note 2.
The first one is that when I try to switch it off, it goes in the whole sequence, vibrates as if it's turned off but soon after it's already booting. The blue indicator light stays on.
Second issue is that it is not charging when turned off. I have left it for about 2 hours and nothing happened. Turned it on and now it's charging ok. Also, I see that when I turn on the screen the red light (indicating that it's in charge) switches off and not always comes back on when I switch the screen off (from the power button).
I rooted it but it doesn't seem to be rooted when checking with app from play store. I can't update it as when I try it says I've modified the software so it's not possible..
Any ideas? it's still in warranty so might send it back but I thought if I could sort things out myself it might be better than waiting for 2weeks to have it back..
Thanks,
unlocated

I got my SM-P601 about 2 weeks ago, and it has been working perfectly since then, until last night. I left my note 10.1 with my father and left, when I got back, it was acting really weird. When I press the power button, you hear that sound that it woke up, but the screen doesn't power up until about 2 seconds later, it performs normally afterwards. Tried rebooting, no luck. It still gets weirder, so I leave it for an hour or so, when I try later, the screen no longer powers up (I don't know it's that or it has failed, crashed or something) but it is obviously powered up because when I press the power button, you hear that usual sound, and the same thing when you unlock it, I navigated through pages and even opened up some games, it's all working, except there's no screen, just plain black. The bigger problem is, I rooted it, so no warranty for me.

If you can get to recovery power+volume up , then wipe data & reboot .
I tend to agree, factory reset is worth trying.
Alright I'm gonna try that, but I'm gonna need help navigating through the menu. After I power it off, I press the volume up and power and release the power button after about 5 seconds right? (I can't tell when the samsung logo shows up). The thing I wanna make sure of, the factory reset option, is it the third or fourth option? I am not sure if it is the same as my GS4. The confirmation afterwards is the eighth option. Can someone confirm that?

It`s the fourth line " wipe data/factory reset.
Okay I think I successfully factory reset it. However, nothing's changed. The weird thing is, the touch screen is working, it is functioning properly and I can select apps etc... but I just can't see anything.

Just because your Knox flag has been tripped, does not automatically mean your warranty has been completely voided. Samsung is going to have to prove that your rooting the tablet is what caused the screen failure.
Were you running a custom ROM or kernel? If not, then there is no way I can think of that simply rooting the tablet caused the screen failure.
Now that's not to say your warranty isn't voided for another reason such as the tablet was dropped et al.
Just thinking outside the box... Did you happen to have Screen Filter or a like application installed at the time your screen went black? If so, someone may have adjusted the brightness setting to zero and that could be causing the problem.
Good luck.
I hope that's the case, can they even tell it is rooted without the screen being on?
To answer your questions, I haven't installed a custom ROM neither a screen filter app, I tried adjusting the brightness multiple times so one of the tries must have actually hit the correct place, still no effect though.
If nothing works, I think my only option is to take it back to samsung.

ya you should try samsung .at this point it wont hurt .just tell them screen went out and go from there. don't mention root .unless they ask.they will be able to tell anyway.this should be covered under warranty.good luck. let us know how it goes.
I had the exact same issue with this tablet.
The problem is that the backlight is dead.
If you look closely at the screen under the light, you'll be able to see some icons and letters.
In my case, Samsung did not cover the warranty because my device was not purchased in Canada and it was rooted.
I mean Canada didn't even have the device at the time.
Long story short, I did something bad to get my tablet "repaired".
But I blame Samsung for having such a crappy warranty service.
Yeah I think I'll just take it to them. I'll let you know what happens.

Just a wild guess but I suppose you could go buy a new one from a retailer here in Canada, swap out the faulty one for the new one and return it claiming it's faulty (I doubt any of them check the SN on the back and the one on the box match), or I guess you could even swap the SN on the box from the SN on the US box so it does match.
Not saying he did that, but it's the easiest way to get it "repaired"
Come to think of it you can do this for any tablet, even though this is downright fraud. So please don't.
