Samsung N7100 SOD (Sleep of death)

Hi, guys. I have bought device some days ago and unfortunately I have discovered sleep of death in my Note2. Device bought from Arabia. First it was stock ROM, i discovered SOD in this firmware, I changed it and installed Android Revolution HD 4.0 with Perseus kernel. But SOD still exist. I do not know what to do more. May be anybody had such a problem and could fix it? Please, share info with me and thanks a lot for advance

it goes off once or twice a day, I must push Power button for 10 second or take away battery/put back and power to turn on device

hardware?

perhaps its a hardware issue. is there any way u could bring it back to the place u bought it? otherwise maybe just an extremely buggy ROM. im just guessing anyways. hope its resolved soon. cause it is a mint device. im got myself one too and im absolutely loving it

unfortunately no way to send it back, my buddy bought it for me, when was in KSA

Mine doesn't do this.. Had it about 2-3 weeks

I had one SOD so far. I was playing granny smith, locked the phone while the game was still on, didn't wake up. That was on my first boot. Since then no problems.

very interesting is there any way to fix this problem?

today put new official ROM, Pit, Bootloader, PDA, Modem and waiting for the result ...

But have you updated it to the latest Samsung firmware? If not then use Kies on your PC to update your Note 2 to the latest version.
Btw I've never had sod on my note 2, even when in the stock power save mode. Stock phone no root.

i have resolved SOD problem in my Note2. I installed GT-N7100XXALJ3_SER_HOME RESCUE ROM, took away external sd-card, and in wifi advanced option put check if wifi internet service is available when AP connected. That is all. No SOD

Ahh good happy for you !

Problem could also be from a bad sd card. .. now that you have removed the ext sd. ... may be it is working well?

Hey!
The sod that was talked about in this thread is not the same thing as the eMMC bug some have been experiencing, this bug doesn't cause a brick.
Ttorrent has a bug where it simply freezes the whole system, but it's solved with a reboot. Google shows several reports of this. Don't know whether it's fixed or not now.

I remember this from Note 1... had no idea this problem was still around - and again it seems to bother just some people, even if they all use the same rom. On Note 1 it had most likely something to do with deep sleep / frequency changes, and was "fixed" by preventing your phone from going to deep sleep mode.

Hi guys. I have same problem. A few days ago I've decided to install custom rom with 4.3. First problem was when I tried to install ROM. CWM couldn't mount my internal sd. I solved this problem, but now I have SOD. I tried many manuals to fix it( battery calibration, turn of WIFI in sleep mode, etc) I just noticed one think. When I turn OFF and then turn ON "Power Saving Mode" It happens that device may work for a couple of hours. I forgot one think. I have SOD problem every time I lock my device.
P.S. sorry for my english

[Q] delay when pressing the power button to awake the device

so my galaxy note 2 is with me for more than a month now and ever since i got it when i press the power button to wake up the device ( at least some times ) it takes 1-3 sec to wake and some other times its quick and responsive , its really annoying .. you know some times you are in a hurry and u want to write a number or something or you want to show-off to your friends and it disappoint you with the delay to wake up
is there some thing to do with the ROM or is there an app or some touchwiz things that prevent the device from waking up instantly or its a hardware thing
and here is a vid

If the device is taking 1-2 seconds to wake up then it's NORMAL. Rather you should be happy because the unit is having perfect deep sleep. When you see instant wake up you should know that something is running on background. Again, this is COMPLETELY NORMAL.
Some Nexus people say that they don't notice any lag, well I don't own a Nexus (don't like them), so I don't give a damn.

I am not experiencing this.
Anyway if it has to do with deep sleep you could use wake my droid app

No pal. The fix will be to keep something running on background, lol, anything that violates deep sleep will make the phone to wake up instantly. But then you know how much battery drain will occur.
So, the only solution is, get used with it.

Is how exynos quad core chips work. . Deep sleep to conserve battery... takes times for the cores to get worked up ..get used to it and enjoy the battery. .its a small annoyance

You could try to change something in the developer option as per the pic attached. Hope it could help. I have changed somethings in this funtion and disable the opening Svoice by home button. Now not any delay when pressing the home button any more

Just got the Note 2 but the screen on lag may be a deal breaker for me!

I have researched and it seems there is no fix to the 1-2 second delay after the phone has been sitting for at least 15 seconds when you hit the home or power button. Ive tried turning off S-voice and all of the other recommendations but like most people with this issue the problem is not resolved.
Also I cannot get the ATT 4.1.2 update. Its still at 4.1.1 and tells me I have to check back in 24 hours.

Root, TRWP, and install SKYNOTE.
The rom has multi window and he has fixed the screen delay.

Thanks. So the only solution is to root?

Download Soft locker from the market and it will stop the screen lag and I have never noticed any noticable difference in battery life its still a beast!!!

I'm baffled why some have this problem. I've never had a screen on lag.
I use a pure black wall paper.
Home Screen Mode Basic
I run Nova Launcher
Settings:
Blocking Mode Off
Power Save Off
Display->Page Buddy Off
Display->Smart Rotation Off
Display->Smart Stay Off
Display->Auto Adjust Screen Tone Off
Lock Screen->Popup Note Off
S Pen->Open Popup Note Off
S Pen->Battery Saving On
S Pen->S Pen Keep On
S Pen->Air View Off
One Hand Operation Off
Don't know if these settings will help...

These other options could work but I am running clean room right now and I do notice the screen delay but it does not bother me.
I do know Sean the sky note rom creator has fixed this lag.
Root for the gn2 is sooo easy and very fast. Literally took me 3 min to Root and 2 min to flash twrp. In the mean time just download the rom cuz its like 800mb lol.
Good luck man. This is the best device I have used. I went from the Motorola Atrix to iphone 5 to this. Just the screen and s pen is a seller to me lol.

Root it and bump up the cpu minimum setting about 400 to 600 mhz or set the scaling to interactive or ondemand. Cpu master is a good free app to use. Just Unclick the set on boot till you find your phone butter zone.

I know...This phone blows all of them out of the water right now..and now that we got all of the Dev's Love going on...it just keeps getting better.
Maybe when the new G4 comes out...maybe...but the note 3 won't be that far behind it...and I really doubt either one will be that much better over all than what we already have...They both would have to have some really serious hardware updates to make me move to one...and I wouldn't want to give up my unlocked Note II for a locked down version of anything just yet...

It's an old thread, but it seems the most relevant. I just flash my Gnote 2 to Skynote 10. I'm noticing the screen delay when it wakes. It's most jarring when I receive a call, answer it, the person starts speaking and my phone screen is still blank. Important because sometimes I have to switch to speaker phone or bluetooth ASAP. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?

lol that app works by introducing a wakelock... so while others look to remove wakelocks, we do the opposite LOL
it's december and the problem still exists... using slimbean 4.3.1 and devil kernel... takes my phone a second or two to wake up... quite annoying actually...
guess there's no way around this other than to disable deep sleep (you can set that in kernel settings, if supported)

Root the phone and freeze or uninstall your unused apps with titanium backup..do a nandroid 1st of course. i also used juice defender plus. my battery life at end of day is at 70% to 75% with 300+ apps.
But than I recently flashed @seanzscreams Skynote 4.3 Note Rom its crazy smooth and battery life is even better.

[Q] Freezing

Is anyone having any issues with their 2013 N7 freezing? I've had it completely freeze up on me once, and several time just today it has had major input lag (like 2-3 seconds later) or would just not accept input. It hasn't been localized to any particular app.
Is this a common problem? Should I just go exchange mine?

Seems like a software issue which can be easily remedied.

When I first got my new Nexus 7 I did notice some "freezes" and unresponsiveness. Touches that would go unrecognized (links in the browser, back button). did a factory reset and watched it in case I decided I needed to exchange it. But it is seemed to improve and I rarely run into the freezing.
I've so far not returned/exchanged it, but an still keeping an eyes on it.

I have most certainly experienced a heavy freeze period while typing on the onscreen keyboard. While typing in all the credentials on first set-up I experienced moments of almost 20 seconds of non-response, followed by all input entering as if it was lagged out network style.
Rooting and flashing a new rom, this has yet to happen. This is why I love Android so much... its community knows that it is Unix and treats it as such.

Yea mines freeze sometimes

yeah sometimes mine locks up for like a good 15 seconds.. hitting the power button doesn't shut the screen off either.. then when it unfreezes, it does everything I did lol like pull down the bar, hit home, and the screen off

Same issue. I think I will factory reset it + install cleanrom with the jassy kernel and see if it helps. If not, I will swap it. I love this thing! Its getting more love than my ipad atm, but I think I can make room for both of them in my already-gadget-overloaded life lol.

I was wondering if its really the kernal that's causing the freezing. My N7 2013 right now freezes after about 15 minutes of turning it on, and the only way to unfreeze is by holding down the power for 10 seconds. My tablet will constantly do this after each turn on, but once I placed it in safe-mode there is no freezing. I am thankful that mine doesn't have the touch screen issue though! but this freezing problem is really driving me bonkers.

I nodded off for a few minutes the other day when I had FBReader up and when I woke up and tried to exit it was non-responsive. I get the impression FBReader forces the screen to stay on, but perhaps everything else goes to sleep anyway? That's the only freeze I can remember seeing.

Fingerprint scanner lag

Anyone notice it takes about 3 seconds to get to the home screen from off by pressing the fingerprint scanner? Is it just me? When I press the home button it takes about 1 to 2 seconds for the screen to turn on. Then I get a choppy animation for another 1 or 2 seconds before getting to the home screen. How about you. Can you guys press on your home button and count how long it take to gets to the home screen? Sometimes I count to 5...
Im a bit concerned since I'm also experiencing frame drops with my Gear VR and that never happened with my s6e or my s7e.
Need to know if it's common or if it's my device.

I've never got on with the fingerprint scanner, but I have been trying to use the iris scanner and I must say that is pretty instant once you learn how to hold the phone up to trigger the recognition.

Same here. I'm really worried though because the lag was there in safe mode which means it's not caused by a third party app. Which means that even if I do a factory reset it WILL COME back.

I returned mine for a refund to Bell yesterday... I was also experiencing lag which was sad because I loved the phone. So I'm gonna wait until new stock is available and buy an Exynos version.

So as it turns out the fingerprint scanner is blazing fast. The lag is with the home button.

From what I read, s voice causes the slow down with the home button. Disable s voice and it should be more responsive. Issue dating back to the note 3

That's pretty much the first thing I did. Actually it's not specific to s-voice its due to the fact that you can double press the home button, used to be for s-voice now for the camera. Whenever you press the home button once the phone waits for a potential 2nd press therefore causing the delay. Technically disabling any double home button press action should make it faster but it's still just a tiny bit faster.
I would like if there was an option to bypass the lock screen and go straight to the home screen.
