Hi, i got my SW2 today and it's not turning on. All i see is loading bar that stops at maybe 95% and nothing happens. I touhed it with my Xperia M2 and the phone vibrated with notification ,,Paired with SmartWatch 2". What can i do to fix it?
we can see a loading bar only when the watch reset.
Loading bar shows up witout any backlight. I press and hold the power button and it shows up, nothing happens and all i can do is press and hold again to turn it off
Yes, I see the bar after a watch reset :
- After firmware update
- After severe crash and watch reset and reboot
- After choose reset to factory in SW3 menu
So it seem something wrong during the reset process Try to keep on charger 24H and maybe power up while is connected to power source ?

Is anyone else having issues with Traveler in WM6?
I'm using an AT&T based Pandora Kitchens ROM and I'm getting the following problems:
1. Screen is off, I press the power button to turn it on. The screen turns on and I see my Today screen or whatever program I was using when I turned it off but that's it, I can't do anything else. Screen and buttons don't respond. Pressing the call end button results in the short beep that it normally sounds when you're on the Today screen and press it. But I have to soft reset to use my phone.
The same problem happened a few times when someone tried to call me. I was watching my phone when I tested this. Screen was off, I rang myself frlom another phone, the screen turns on and the phone symbol appears next to the signal icon in the top bar but after that the phone freezes as above. Soft reset needed.
2. Phone is charging using the wall adaptor. Green light is on. I pull the power cable out of the phone and press the power button, nothing happens. I had to soft reset.
3. Turn phone on, tap Start menu, wait about 15 seconds before Start menu appears!
Any ideas?
Problems with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 SM-T705:
1st: October 2014
2 weeks after buying, my tablet's battery drained overnight from 45% to zero. Next morning, I turned my tab on after charging to find out that the Tab starts but without any Samsung GAlaxy Tab S logo or Samsung Logo and the Screen has turned green, rendering it difficult to read in auto brightness mode or low brightness mode.
I restarted the device 2-3times and the device started working normally. This was my 1st device restart. I never used to power off the device before.
In 1st 6months, this greenish display problem n logo problem occured 2-3times, and i ignored it, because, it used to get resolved by itself with restart and I had no service centre in and around 50km to my work place.
2nd: January 2014
My device all of a sudden stopped working.. actually hanged.. I managed to turn it off but failed to restart it.
Later I realised that the device has restarted, but the screen was not responding when the screen blinked for a moment with the opening of book cover.. and the back cover of device was warm..
Googling taught me the way to access recovery screen n I opened recovery mode with "power+vol down+home key" and pressing vol down in recovery screen to restart tab.. again the tab started working fine..
3rd: Lollipop update: May 2015
I did Lollipop update. The device was smooth to operate at first. But gradually, i noticed that unlocking the tab failed to light up the display everytime, just the soft keys lighted up. But one day, the device freezed with no response from touch screen. I was unable to switch off the device also.. I had to drain the battery by playing music using S voice to turn the device off. "power+vol down+home key" too was not working.
On googling, I learned to reset device with "power+vol up+vol down" keys pressed together. finally the device restarted, but the device used to hang occassionally.
Googling let me know that i need to factory reset device upon firmware update for normal functioning, which i didn't do after update. so, I backed up my device, uninstalled many apps to make the device run a bit smooth and did a factory reset.. Resetting didn't improve the situation much, but now, the device display failed to light up on a regular basis on unlocking most of the time..
Now the situation is that, the device turns on, finger print scanner works, all apps n everything working, but display remains black, and touch screen is not responding.. using sidesync, everything on Tab can be accessed via laptop.
Tricks tried:
1) Factory reset
2) power+ vol up+vol down
3) power+ vol up+home key
4) power+ vol down + home key
5) Power off using sidesync and then restart
Results: All failure. Everything works but the display never lights up normally..
Plzz help....:crying::crying:
Bump. I'm starting to have similar problems with my SM-T800 running 5.0.2. I open the cover and the device fails to turn on. I press the power button and the screen stays black but the notification bar turns on. I can shake the crap out of the device and the screen stays black but I can see the notification bar flicker. Driving me batty.
If i had any problems like you guys, I would just return it to the place i bought it, for a refund or replacement or even a repair, post it to the service centre if it`s too far to travel too.
You problems sound like battery and or loose connector inside your tablet, it happens frequently on Samsung tablet for the connectors to come loose, if the tablet is dropped or twisted, no outside damage might be seen.

My SW3 appears to have died this morning. I unplugged it from the charger, put it on my wrist and pressed the power button to turn it on. I felt it vibrate to say it was on, but then later noticed that the screen was blank. I tried holding the power button to force a reset but nothing happened.
Before I send it off to Sony, does anyone know if there is a reset button anywhere or anything else I should try to get it to turn on?

It once happened to me.
According to this site, to reset our SW3's we need to hold our power keys until the watch vibrates one time and restarts itself. But it didn't help me so there's another thing - to force the shutdown. Press power button until it vibrates three times, then turn it back on.
In my case, the watch started working as it should and such thing never occurred again.

Thanks, I'd tried holding the power button but it wasn't doing anything. It actually turned back on last night, complained that the battery was flat and turned itself off again. Plugged it back in to charge and it's working again this morning. Although my Pujie Black watch face isn't updating as it should and I'm not getting notifications like I should either.
Think I'll give it a factory reset just to be safe.
Aaaaand won't turn on again this morning. Been holding the power button for ages, does nothing, won't connect to Xperia Companion for a reset neither.
My girlfriend was trying to turn my alarm off and somehow it got stuck on a screen I had never seen before, all black with white time at the top and a list of the notifications that was oversized, I could scroll through them but not interact with them or turn off the alarm and I could not reset the device by just holding the power button it would turn the flashlight on. I'm running lineage OS the latest build for the 10.
I eventually got it restarted after the alarm stopped by holding every button
Does anyone know what that was?
Extreme power saving mode ?
I am facing same problem. When I first switch to 14.1 Lineage OS ; It was doing it when a new OS update was available , to recover , I had to reboot using power off and volume down, back and home button would flash 15 times , phone would reboot, and all would work correctly. Right after reboot I would see the update suggestion LOS. Clear all and phone would behave ok until same pattern happen. I finally decided to update to latest nightly. Which was at the time 14.1-20170706-NIGHTLY-pme changed the update setting to manual. It still does the same random black screen , showing bold white clock , bold white weather banner , I can see text message notification but no swipe works in anyway shape or form. Simply need to reboot with Power and volume down. Seen details about similar problem on reddit about nexus4 doing similar behavior.
No , because there is no way out other than holding power and volume down to recover the phone. Sometimes it goes to normal restart , sometimes it goes to bootloader.
Have you just tried flashing a different ROM?
Hi all,
I got this M5 that's been giving out warnings about memory being full and I suppose it finally gave in. It only partially boots after like a full minute of showing you those blue waves. When it 'boots' the screen is black and nothing works, except you can see the status bar with just the battery icon, no-SIM icon and the clock.
Now the weird thing is, when the device is powered off, when you press the power button once, a large battery indicator appears on the screen, and shows the normal percentage-- I've seen this go up from 0 to over 90 something incrementally.
But when it's 'on' the way I just described, the battery is always at 0% with a red ! next to it.
Anyway, when it's in this weird half-life mode, you can actually pull down the notification bar normally, and tap stuff as well. Flashlight works, you can see an actual WiFi list (nothing happens when you connect) etc. When you launch stuff through here though, like settings, it won't open anything. It'll make the sound as if it's launched something but the remainder of the screen will still be black.
Stuff I've already tried:
- Safe mode (volume down + power), just 'boots normally'
- Recovery mode (volume up + power) done that for over two minutes, does nothing or just 'boots normally'
- Hold down the tiny yellow 'off' button under the SIM/SD cover, did nothing.
- Xperia Companion: PC won't recognize the phone either in that zombie state, or when it's off, so I tried 'device cannot be detected', shut phone down, held down volume down button, connected USB still holding down, waited for a while and viola, nothing happened.
It's factory OS, never messed around with it and I don't know the version (could be 5?).
Any ideas?
EDIT: Using the dedicated camera button, I can access the camera. It works (sort of), meaning you can see the camera display where the screen used to be black. And it immediately says "system process is not responding," so I'm guessing this is a system issue where it can't load basic stuff like the homescreen?
EDIT 2: BUMP
