Hey guys. Need some help. So i bought this tab last year about oct. Then at first it was good then a flashing green/yellow lines flicker everytime it goes 30% below and battery drops randomly and rising. I did a factory reset and nothin happened. The problem still persist. Then what i did is tried to contact samsung about it and about the warranty and stuffs. So yes i need to surrender my tab to them in order for them to repair. So after a day or two they texted me.my tab is now okay and ready to be picked up. After that yes everything seems to go normal. But again. After a few months later. The problem returned. Everytime it got lowbat about 15% below now. The line flickers of doom reappears and reboot the tab by its own. So the only solution i got now is turn on the power saving feature of the tab. Whenever i activate it the flickers won't appear even my tab is lowbat. So any help guys? Is this hardware or another bug or whatsoever by the tab? Please help me.
It sound like your battery is faulty, you need to get it replaced.
Tablets with 4g can use a type a Samsung code into the keypad and bring up a list of diagnostic information, one of them is supposedly for the battery and can calibrate it, see what it says, you can get the in this thread.

I searched about the codes.. It's hard to find the right ones.. Can you please provide? :/ I really don't know what to do.... :'(
I have Wifi tablet so i cannot use the code myself as i dont have a dialer, I found a list of codes, see link below, I take no responsibility for any damage you do while using these codes, be careful.

Hi all,
I tried doing a search on this before posting this thread. No luck. I just got my TP2 on sunday. I let it charge and flashed HardSPL and a few roms. I noticed my phone would turn completely off when I open and close the screen. At first, I thought it was the display turning off to save power, but the phone is actually turning completely off and I need to hit the power button and boot it back up again. Is this a setting I need to change? Or could there be something wrong with my phone? I also tried going back to the stock rom to eliminate that as a cause and the same thing happens.
Any help is appreciated.
I have posted an almost similar question here with no reply.

Not sure what the problem is. In my case the solution is not to close the keyboard when OneNote Mobile is still open!
My colleague is having the same prob, from what he is experiencing, i would suggest a hardware fault, probably just a loose ribbon cable... but best send it back to HTC to avoid voiding your warranty

I guess it's time to give TMO a call. Just need to flash everything back to stock.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was hoping to avoid having to send it back, but i might as well.

Hi,
I had this issue to and send the phone in for repair. The said that it was a problem with the mainboard - replaced it and send it back. It now works perfect.
REMEMBER!!! If you want to send the TP2 in for repair you must reflash the SPL back to the original one, I think it is 0.79.0000 (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131 for how to restore to the original HardSPL)
discoverd the same issue, happened to me about a week ago for a few times, when i slide in/out the keyboard. It just habbend about 4 times, but didn't happend again since this time ... i will have a eye on it...
Same here. The screen turns off completely but the phone actually works and I can receive or place calls. Called the HTC support and they advised to try if a hard reset will fix it before sending the phone in. The tricky part here is that this issue can not be recreated easy in their service as it happens randomly with me (sometimes it works fine for days). I am still trying to find out what causes this issue on first place. I think it started right after I installed IGO 8 and changed some power settings in the ini file but it kept doing this after I removed it. I also tried to disable the light sensor (the one that turns the screen off when you place the handset to your ear during a call) because it looks exactly like this - screen turns off but the phone works. So, I will give it another week and I will try the hard reset.
What roms do you guys have this issue with? I am using the stock T-Mobile US with HardSPL.

Did they replace the entire phone or just the mainboard?

Sorry, forgot to update this thread. I ended up getting a replacement from TMO. I am much happier now that my phone doesn't turn off whenever I close the screen. Get a replacement while you can and ask them nicely if they can overnight it to you. I did.
Actually, this was a software problem in my case - I did the hard reset 2 weeks ago and since then I have not experienced the issue. I am going to start installing my previous programs one by one to find out what caused the problem.
Same
I have the same problem,
The hard reset solve the problem?
please heeeeelp
Hi all,
I have a galaxy note 2, bought in November 2012, I rooted it a few months ago.
Yesterday it was fine, battery was fully charged and it was in my pocket.
It was not doing anything out of the ordinary but when I went to check the time I noticed it was off and I couldn't get it to switch back on at all I tried removing the battery, putting it on charge and still nothing. I tried recovery mode too - nothing.
The only thing that happens when i try switch it on is the little red light from the proximity sensor flashes for a split second.
Has anyone heard of this before?? I've searched and cant seem to find anything like this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
try to flash Stock firmware via Odin....
Unfortunately this is the main symptom of Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS). There is no known way to fix it by yourself.
Contact samsung service center ASAP.
Can you answer these questions.
Which firmware was installed on your device?
Have you updated your device to the latest update?
Till you updated it, have you done a factory reset with the old firmware?

Exactly what was happening to me. Had the Notification LED blinking, wanted to check, couldn't manage to turn on the screen. Tried rebooting, but can't even see the boot-logo. Battery pulled - nothing. USB port not working when connecting to a PC.
I had MIUI on it with an increased counter, since here in Switzerland it isn't a big deal when you mod your device.
I hope they will ignore the fact of the increased binary flash counter...
Hello all,
I'm got an I747 that one day just decided to stop working on me. I was running stock rooted firmware and have never tried custom roms.
The phone repeatedly tries to boot up and then shut down. I can't ever get pass the Samsung logo.
The same thing happens when trying to access recovery or download mode. I see the initial download/recovery screen and then the phone shuts off.
Is the motherboard toast?
My friend has an I747 as well but it has been blacklisted. Are there any parts I can swap from one another to get either one of them working?
Any help or input is appreciated.

Does removing & reinserting the battery (with no buttons pushed) trigger the restart behavior?

Yes, just by inserting the battery the phone vibrates and begins to start up.
Once the Samsung logo appears it turns back off again.

Indicates Samsung stuck power button syndrome. A lot has been posted about this.
I would start with warranty service if available.
If not, search a lot & choose solutions carefully.
It happened once with my Captivate & teardown & blowout cured it,
though I never observed the physical defect (only the symptoms).
I have used apps to reduce my use of the button ever since, with GS2 & GS3.
Approach teardown with extreme caution if you are not experienced.
Gently tapping a table edge with the upper right has worked for some.

Thanks for the advice. I did not know this was a common problem.
Unfortunately I am out of warranty so I will try to fix this myself.
I have already taken apart the phone before so I am fine with tearing it down again.
What do you mean by blowout? Do I physically try to tap the power button of the mother board on a table edge?

Push out any dust or debris outward using forced dry air.
The gentle tapping of the button edge area is a pre-disassembly alternative.
Many opinions, experiences & videos have been posted. It's worth it to sample some first.

if you havnt rooted your devices and since it is only 3 months past, your phone would be in warranty period so according to me the best you should do is go to the authorized service center and just ask for a replacement
i wasnt able to sign in from my ze550ml after update so i gave my phone to the service center and replaced it with a new one a few days ago
may be this would help you out give it a try :good:
I have done that. Asus send my the RMA to Shipp it, let's see what happens after that. And no it wasn't rooted. Thanks
One thing that may cause touch screen to behave erratically is TalkBack being enabled. With TalkBack enabled the touch screen may behave differently and appear to be defective. Instead one tap it may require double tap to open an item or when swiping it may require using two fingers instead of one. Go to Apps/Settings/Accessibility/TalkBack/Off (do not turn on if already off). For more information regarding TalkBack please see http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1012384/

I bought my beloved Huawei Mediapad M2 in January 2016.
After a recent sabotage, I had to send the tab for repairs because the LCD wasn't functioning. But a few days ago, my Mediapad M2's screen flickered although I already retrieved the tab from our local Huawei authorised centre and then the screen turned off when I received a phone call from my family so I can't pick up the call because I can't see whatever that is on the screen, how to fix this without having all my data becomes wiped out again? Yes, I have a lot of work saved in this tab.
Before you ask further about memory card, thing is, nope -- I don't use any, all files are saved directly into the internal storage of the Mediapad M2. I know the tab is still working because when I tried calling my number (which is in the tab) from another phone, the tab rings. So does when messages come in. And when I plug in the headphones I can listen to music from my tab.
I want to backup my files before re-sending the tab to the service centre because they might wipe off all data again upon rectifying the issue, but before that happens, how do I suppose to do the backup when I can't even see what's shown on the screen (because the Huawei HiSuite software installed in the PC requires confirmation of the tab being connected to the PC by touching on an OK button which is supposed to show up on the tab)?
Please help, thank you in advance.
I have the same problem
Did the screen turns like grey after a while ???????
Hmmm.... this seems to be a fairly common issue, from what I can see in my searches. Most of the threads I saw in my searches (see "references" below) recommend trying the following things. DISCLAIMER: I have not tried any of these methods; you try them at your own risk.
- Try a hard reset - keep the power button pressed until the phone reboots.
- Press VOLUP + POWER and see if that fixes the issue.
- Press VOLUP+VOLDN+POWER to boot into recovery and see if that fixes the screen issue.
- Let the battery completely drain (do not charge it for a couple of days) and see if it fixes the issue (note: this is a modification of a solution where people remove the battery, let the phone sit for 10 minutes and then replace the battery. Since we cannot remove the battery on the M2, we should just drain the power).
- This may sound stupid, but give the phone a couple of smacks. If it is some loose connection in your screen connector, this may (temporarily) fix the issue.
If everything fails, you may need to take it back to the store and allow them to factory-erase it.

I got it
So it's a problem on the flex cable that conect the motherboard to the screen, it cost like 9$.
And if when your tablet was ok you had "automatic scyn" on, when you reinstall all over again if you pay attention from what google say, it's like have your tablet with the same things.
I have this problem too
Did you already solve this problem?
I had the same issue. But you have to repair it yourself. Or have it done by someone who knows how to do it. The touchscreen is attached to the body of the tablet by a connector cable. This is probably broken.
You can order spare parts for this tablet online.
I found mine on ebay and AliExpress.
It is also possible the touch part of your screen, or the whole screen (LCD part and touch part) is broken. All parts are easily replacable!
If you need any further help on how to do this there are videos on youtube.
Good luck and I can post more specific details if necessary.
