Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 GT P5210 turning off problem - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have problem with my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 gt p 5210.
Tablet without noticeable reason began randomly shut down by itself.
Sometimes in an hour goes off 5-6 times, and sometimes working 5-6 hours without turning off.
Tablet can not be sent to the service because it was purchased abroad.
On it is the original untouched Android 4.2.2.
I tried a factory reset and re-flash with the latest android from sammobile.com , but it didn't help.
Does anyone has a similar problem or solution.
Thanks in advance

battery terminal
I seen a post somewhere, and for the life of me I can't find it again. But anyway, the dude dis-assembled his 5210, and secured the battery terminal (apparently Samsung omitted this step on several tab 2 10.1's.... and now the tab 3 10.1's are having the same issue.) I did downloaded the pics in case I ever needed to do this myself. Here's a link to my Dropbox
duh.. I found the original post...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593766

i have the same issue. i want to open the back cover of my tab 3 10.1 to secure the battery connections. it annoys me a lot.

It is a Samsung product. Should not make a difference what country you purchased it in. If you have the original receipt you should still get warranty repair. But if you feel that the solution is in the discussion above, then by all means check that first. Just be careful not to damage your tab. Good luck and please do follow up on what you found.

im having this same exact problem i opened up the tablet but which cable is the one that needs to be secured? Will it be obvious that it is loose all of the connections on mine seem to be secure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is the battery connector. Its very easy to fix. I purchased one for my son last Christmas and to my luck it started shutting down randomly, I opend the table using a credit card to pry open the case from the screen. I PLACED TWO BAND AIDS CRIS CROSSING ON TOP OF THE BATTERY CONNECTOR, ITS FIXED. TRY IT

Here's what worked for me. I replaced the micro USB cable for a few bucks from Best Buy. VOILA!!!! Tablet is working great. Seems like the cord got kinked or bent one too many times and the battery wasn't getting a good charge. Good luck

Remove the battery from the connector and re solder six pins of the black connector on main board will fix it permanently.
Bring it to a repair shop or anyone knows how to solder, it takes only under 5 minutes

I think you should sent the telephone to SAT
faulty usb
Had this on a water damaged galaxy s2. Replaced the usb flex cable and that solved the problem. Check the usb connector to make sure it doesnt have any dirt stuck in it.

wat usb flex cable?? you mean the charger cable or the connector on the phone?
I had the same issue the other morning. Blew on the connector a few times and it was gone. The charger that came with my Gnex made a high pitch noise (probably the caps) so I stopped using it. Haven't had the problem since.
i havent ever used the gn charger. i use the usb cable from my kindle. no probs so far, suddenly today!!!! even i blew on the connector, nothing happened so far.
i drained the battery and i am charging again, lets c.....
In the meantime, any more help pls????
this is the issue.

Any news to this as this has happened to me too.. dunno what´s wrong yet..
Did you both (having this problem) use non GNex chargers? You should really only use the charger that comes with the phone

well my problem hasn't re occurred. It got magically solved.
And you should research your things before you post,it has been widely discussed in this forum that it is just a standard micro USB cable. I used another standard cable from my kindle and galaxy s phone. worked perfectly till now. Now after this problem I used a Nokia charger which worked perfectly as expected.
My guess is that some particle got inside the uncovered USB port causing some unwanted connections.

[Q] Very strange battery behavior.

Hi all... first post, first problem with android... and hopefully a long time here in xda!

By low, the table shuts down and after starting it again, it shows between 5 and 10% battery!!
Something similar happens by charging... it shows 90% and no change... and after a reboot it shows 100%.
Is my battery dying? Should I wipe and restart from zero? Cyanogen?
The speed how fast battery drains is also extreme compared to stand-by times... but I assume this is more or less a problem of this tablet.
Many thanks in advance!

Having similar issues. Found mine dead out of nowhere one day. Never had custom ROM on it. Did factory reset now it seems like it doesn't want to charge .... Charges VERY slowly if at all.
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Free mobile app
i have the same issue, dropped from 50 to 15 all of a sudden , will try calibration , anyone else noticed this ?i picked up mine used so unsure whats the issue
i found better battery life after i did a factory reset. i bought it new and set it up and since then had 1 Sammy update but last week i reset it and it clearly made a difference on my 10.1. yesterday i had 2 hours screen time and on battery for 2 day and some hours and had 60% left.
Add mine to the list....seems to be doing the same thing here. Haven't been able to sort it out yet.
Took the back off mine tonight and reseated the battery connector. Then charged like below. First to time in a while it charged up like this.
can you post a pic of videos of how to pry it open ? hopefully simple with a prying tool

I just very carefully went around it with one of those guitar like plastic openers i have laying around from the many tablet/phone repair kits i have used. I probably rebooted it 5 times before i finally popped it apart... thing just did not want to charge. This was the first time i saw it ramp up 1% at a time in a while. The other thing i noticed it was doing was jumping from ~70% to 100% instantly.... The graph showed it too. I didn't believe that was really happening.
some pics would help , is it between the screen and the metallic part or the back and the metallic part ?

I suspect an app did this too. I was on cm when it started...others were stock. Chrome or some other common Google app put our tabs in a funky state.

LG G3 BootLoop

Hello everyone .. i know you've faced alot of topics with the same name but somehow i find mine different ..
Months ago when i use the phone much it gets laggy then it shuts down .. i thought it was normal due to overheating issues
then month ago it went totally off .. not turning on back as i used to .. so i searched online i came with 2 solutions :
1)might be software related
2)BATTERY
so i went to a repairing shop and he flashed a stock marshmallow .. then the phone worked for 1/2 day then it stucked at bootloop again
so i went back and changed the battery .. that worked for 2 days but it was draining fast so i replaced another which lasted 1/2 day before going bootloop again ..so i refund.. i searched again and found the paper trick and copper wire trick and the paper didn't work for me .. but i go from the wire topic that he measured the voltage of the battery and noticed it wasn't 3.8v so i went to measure mine (the one which came with the phone) and it was fine .
so if anyone knows how to get over this please help me.
Thanks

Was your battery officially made by LG? Is it the same model?
When you bought the new battery.. Did you first empty it (0% exactly) And then recharge it to 100% and leave it closed for about 10-15 minutes?
If the battery is officially made by LG and has the same Model name on it,then have you ever dropped the phone?
Greetings.

I think it's because the batteries that you have are made in 2014.
The new battery that i recently received is made in 2016 and i don't have any problems at all.
Maybe 2014 batteries have that bootlooping problem.

Horrible Battery Life on Moto 360(1st Gen)

I own a moto 360(2014) and I am barely able to get more than 6 hours of battery life.
Things I have tried to do :
Factory Resetting
Paring to different phones with different android versions
Using it just as a watch without bluetooth and Wifi

Did this just start for you?
I've owned my watch for years, and last week suddenly started having issues. I can't help but wonder if there was a software change that is causing excessive drain.

Not really no.
I've not got any software update over a year I think.
The watch was off for a while, about a month.
But since then it's got really bad.
I've faced similar issues with android phones, where wiping the battery stats makes the battery life as good as stock. If there is a way to achieve this it would be the ideal solution.

Did you go to the service centre?
or purchased the battery online and fitted it from outside?
if you did purchase online a link would be helpful
I did get this battery some time ago on ebay. Im in uk. It wasnt genuine battery but VHBW brand which for my experience is reliable.
Replaced it by myself. There is some guide on the web for doing it. Hardest thing is to get back cover without breaking it. I actually broken my one being carefull, its so fragile.
after another phone side android wear update my battery life is back to normal. Off the charger at 7 AM, and at 7 PM I still have 40% left in the tank.

yes, now on 2.7.0.177669439
I've had these issues for about a year now. No updates have made a difference for me. It's not that my battery depletes quickly though, it's that the watch powers off with plenty of battery left and doesn't come back on until charged, usually at the 50-60% mark.
It's nearly 2pm here, been off the charger since maybe 8am, still at 69% battery but I bet it'll be gone in an hour or so.
Is it possible to get a custom ROM for these in case it's a software issue?
UPDATE: couple of minutes later, at 67% it has died.....
ht tps://ww w.youtu be.com/watch?v=wl61mDJlu9E
use this guide! Its so easy to replace the battery!
I also replaced my battery but I used this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1as_h5jnBM he explains very well and some steps explained poorly in the ifixit guide are shown here detailed. The hardest part is removing the backcover without cracking it. I failed and cracked mine but battery is perfectly fine now, for the cracked backcover there are some replacements for about 20€. However I own a 3D printer and will print me a new backcover by myself, I hope it will be fine, i will provide some pictures at the end of the week just in case someone is interested

Atoto A6 Fast Boot Not Working

I love the A6 unit that I have but last week it lost the fast boot feature. At key off it shuts down and loses some settings and the time. I pulled the dash and the yellow wire has power when the key is off. I had installed the new firmware several weeks ago so it's been updated. Any suggestions? I emailed them but have not heard back.
I'm having basically the same issue. When the car has been turned off 80% of the time the head unit does a complete boot up. Sometimes it does it if the car is turned off and immediately turned back on. I also have lost settings suck as time. Everything else works perfectly and I haven't had any other issues as of yet. Had it for about a week now.

Just make sure the yellow wire has constant power even when the key is off. They made me jump through a bunch a hoops to get any action. I had to submit several videos and then they sent me a power adapter that plugged into a wall outlet to bypass the truck wiring and I had to video that also. They finally agreed to replace the radio with me sending the old one back first. I ended up keeping it and they gave me 20% off a Pro unit with the gestures. The day after I bought it they dropped the price on it 20.00. If I had it to do over again I'd just trade it for another and save the money. I doubt I'll be able to sell this old one with the problem it has. Let me know how it goes with them. It was probably a month of emails back and forth before I had a remedy.

I'm pretty sure I connected the yellow wire to the constant power correctly because it will work fine and boot instantly when I turn the car on but sometimes it won't. It's a bit frustrating but if that's the only issue I really have then so be it. Over all it's a decent head unit in my opinion. I guess that's just aftermarket BS when you install yourself.
Hello yall, well I bought atoto A6 and each time it was booting long, like the first time. So it the problem with the wires that goes with the mmc.

so the yellow and red wires are messed up. Or at least look for the right position of all wires. On the picture they are messed up so if U have wire same way than u need to switch em betwin and it will bot up crazy fast
Can you explain a little bit more about the process?
I have the same problem when I switch off the car, do I have to invert the yellow and red cable in the connector?
My iso harness had red and yellow swapped wrong. I had to use big paper clip to swap cables on the iso plug. Now it works like it should. Yellow is battery and also fatter cable. Red one is thinner. Google: iso harness pinout for reference.
