If I have the hardware keyboard out and the phone goes into sleep mode and I close the phone, when I hit the power button, I get the issues shown in the attached images. It won't respond to anything unless I open out the keyboard and close it again or, tap on the notification area and close the notification screen. No issues if the phone is not allowed to sleep.
Don't want to hard reset if I can avoid it, anyone else had this issue?
I have never seen my device do this, but I don't think I have ever let my device go to sleep while in landscape.
To avoid this, why don't you just change your backlight settings? While on battery power, set the backlight to turn off if idle for 5 minutes or something. This way you'll never have it fall asleep on you. Unless of course you read extremely slow and a page takes 5 minutes.
Was thinking about increasing the backlight settings for a bit longer. I had that situation by chance last night and tried various things, uninstalling software, bluetooth head set, changed radio, hard reset and even task29 and a new flash, still same issue.
Just starting to get fed up with these little annoyances, would be nice if it just worked, lol.
Wow that's rather odd that you did a hard reset and still had the issue. That would suggest that it is most definitely device specific. Maybe you can call your carrier, and if it's your lucky day they can replace your phone. ??
Why no try Energe ROM, It has no such problem.

If you are referring "off" as phone is shutdown, it means that the alarm clock will not work. This is simply because the OS is not loaded and there is no power to the phone. This is same as your laptop or an computer where you shutdown it and try to run an scheduled task.
Hope this helps.
It's just one of the many 'steps down' from regular Sony Ericsson phones (the ones without Android). I've found quite a few actually. It'd be nice if Sony Ericsson could re-add these things to Android:
FM Radio Alarm
Custom Calendar reminders (not only the pre-set amounts of time)
Alarm while the phone is off
It's all little things, but they're all things I loved my Sony Ericsson Elm and G705 for that simply aren't there anymore. And that's a shame!

If I'm not wrong, it's Android OS and not SE. Once the phone is off, the OS is unloaded from the memory completely. Just think your phone like your computer .
I still want my phone to be a phone
okay so my phone is a computer and not a phone any more witch angers me just a bit , some of my old sony ericssons had features that that some developers are charging for with there apps in the market like recording calls and I don't think having the alarm go off when the phone is off is asking for much
and a physical hang up button would be nice too I think touch screens are a bit of a fad right now that will wear off eventually even though they are quite useful all's I'm saying is we shouldn't forget how to walk just cause we have learnt how to fly otherwise we might crash and if I'm late for work cause my phone didn't go off you can mark that down as an EPIC fail in the not so smart so call smart phone category though I may be speaking to soon there might be an app for this .

I think you should first define what you mean by Phone Is Off.
If you mean the phone can only be put on by the holding the power button...I don't think this is possible at all (and never was).
If you mean the phone can be put on by any button and only the screen is off that's different story.....that should be possible since the phone is not OFF. It's similar to having screensaver on your computer.

your a crack head when i say the phone is off that means shut down turned off by the power button the phone is either off or on it's not hard to figure out !
I actually agree with him

I actually agree with him, I wondered what you meant by "off" because what really seems idiotic to me is the idea that the phone should perform any action whatsoever when the OS isn't even loaded on memory. Now if you had your phone on sleep mode and the alarm didn't set off, I can see how that constitutes a problem.

I'm sure everybody can differentiate between "Screen off" and "Phone off".
I don't know about you but it was pretty straight forward for me.

O yes, some phones had the alarm feature in the past, I remember from a nokia I once had. It sure was nice when having an empty battery or just switching off for the night.
But since I switched to WM and android later no phone could do this anymore. But he, who shuts down his phone ever nowadays

This is about an alarm that can not survive when the phone is switched off
I am also looking for a decent breakfast about once an alarm to be alive when we turn off the phone.
because this is the first android phone and my favorite.
computer and to my knowledge only if we turn off the alarm can live as long as the power cord is not detachable and certainly with the alarm on through bios
I hope there is a way to alarm my life for android
Im totally with Torres77an. I've had 20 years of phone alarms that work when my phone is off. And by off I mean off! Lol
Now we can't get that feature? I don't care if I can put it in airplane mode all night. I prefer it off! Im actually using a 4 year old phone that has this feature... But trying to upgrade? Im picky and this is a feature that I want! Im not the only one. You'd think with all the technology around now that the manufacturers could sort it out! We had it in the 90's we had it up until a couple of years ago.
Last night I updated to the latest ics update so I'm on 4.0.4. I've noticed it shuts off by itself occasionally. Even now at work, phone is laying flat and it shut off once. Also this morning driving to work phone was on my dash and it shut off. Both times phone was in sleep mode and I didn't know it shut off completely until I tried to turn screen on with volume keys or power button. I would then of course have to hold down power button to start phone up again. I haven't rooted or anything , I'm stock. I've tried tapping the back by the battery to see if something was loose but nothing happened.
Maybe some of you guys have experienced the same. Will this go away when I start rooting and romming ,or do I have defective hardware?
So no-one? So far I looked online and someone mentioned putting paper under battery to hold it tighter against contacts? I'm trying that but not sure if it's making battery hotter. I'll see if that works.
Also called Google just in case I have to go through the returning process which I hope not to go through this is what they emailed me for my issue.
" Greetings and salutations,
Thank you for contacting Google. It was my pleasure assisting you today. Many issues can be resolved by performing a hard reset by removing the battery or by factory data resetting your device, but first I'd like you to try removing the battery, wiping it clean with lint free cloth, as well as the prongs that connect to the battery itself. Try this a few times, if it does not work this should. Be sure to backup any personal files you may have on the device.
To factory data reset your device, touch the Settings icon from your ‘Home’ or ‘All Apps’ screen, then select ‘Backup & reset’ under ‘Personal.’
If you're unable to get to your Settings menu, follow the steps below:
1. Power down your device 2. Press and hold both volume keys and the power button to enter Bootloader mode 3. Press the volume keys to cycle to the Recovery mode option 4. Press the power button to select Recovery mode 5. From the Recovery mode screen, press and hold the Power button then press the Volume up button. 6. Use the volume buttons to select wipe data/factory reset. 7. Select Yes -- delete all user data. 8. The factory data reset process will now start. Once its finished, select 'Reboot system now.
If for any reason you need to contact us again, please feel free to reply directly to this email or visit our help center at

I better root and try a Rom asap huh?
I'd say get a replacement for it while you still can.
yeah getting a replacement could be the wisest thing to do
altho if when you received it in 4.0.1 it wasnt randomly shutting then something might've gone wrong with the update so you can unlock your bootloader and flash some ROMs to see how that goes
I definitely want to try some roms before I replace it as I have some time under Samsung's waranty. I also want to gently pull the contacts out a bit with small pliers to see if it holds the battery better. I'll even clean the contacts.
Man I'm hoping it's software ...

Gently pull the contacts out? Wouldn't that void your warranty? I'd be careful with the hardware if I were you.
Unless your battery contacts on the phone are smashed/deformed, it is unlikely that the battery connection is being physical broken at the contacts. The battery fits fairly snug in the compartment and the contacts stay touching even when the battery is partially removed. Probably no benefit to placing a piece of paper in there. Also keep in mind your NFC is in the battery.
I am also using a "Yakju" device from Google Play. No similar issue on 4.0.4 stock or CM9. At least not this nightly build : )
I actually got the GSM nexus yesterday and I had the exact same problem. The phone powered itself off twice. Once right after I turned it on and again about two hours later. Both times it occurred when I was moving around with the phone.
I pulled the battery and popped it back in a few times and it hasn't happened since.

You guys are probably right. The battery does already feel snug in there.
As I'm reading through forums for my issue, I can't believe how many sgn users are experiencing the same thing I am, some even reboots. Alot of them think it's apps. Good chance I'll exchange for the another device with same issue. I'm starting to wonder if this is why Google dropped the price.
Can't wait to get home and mess with this more. Hopefully I can make it go away.
I had this same problem when I first got mine with random reboots an powering off by itself,after about 2 weeks the problem went away, don't ask me how it seem to magically go away by itself maybe because battery needed time to settle in with the charging process.

I'm happy to report, knock on wood, that after I factory reset the phone the problem seems to have gone away. Last night I used the toolkit to unlock bootloader and root, and I flashed cm9 nightly and all is good so far. My only problem now is I dont know which rom to try next
I definitely want something with led customizations like cm9 has, thats just so old school reminds me of a blackberry .
Any suggestions, I guess I can also ask elsewhere.

I use light flow. It also lets me customize both LED and audio notification per app

I had light flow going when my phone would shut itself off. It doesnt include alot of the apps I use to customize so I'm not the biggest fan of it now. I think the cm9 led customizations is sufficient as it lets you add any of your apps regardless.
Aokp has more features and is most popular so you could try that. Then try paradigm rom. I done use light flow, I just have a few led colors from stock and its enough for me for now. Google voice green, handcent texts blue, and Gmail and calls white. All from the stock apps.
Black ice is good so far. So many different variations of aokp roms I guess, its hard to recommend the "best" one.
I literally have never had a problem like this with this phone, but just recently I flashed the new AOKP jb 8-29 build and after a day or two of using it I started getting random reboots where the phone would crash and then start vibrating in intervals. I couldn't get it to stop unless I pulled the battery. Thinking this was just a bug with the rom, I just rebooted to recovery and wiped and flashed the latest jedi mind trick v7. I let the phone sit for a little bit after first boot, but when I then tried to go through the setup I got the exact same problem. Now the phone crashes like this every time I boot up and even while I'm in recovery mode! Someone please help if you know what might be causing this.
EDIT: Now it's doing this every time I put the battery back in; I can't turn on the phone or go into recovery while it's vibrating like this
Sound like a faulty power button. I've seen many, many threads like yours. Almost certain that's the case. Mobiletech offers a power button service. Check them out

I think you're right because before every time I put in the battery the phone would turn on, but I tapped the power button a few times to loosen it up and put the battery in and it didn't turn on. Is there any way to remote start without having to touch the power button that you know of? Thanks for the advice btw
This same scenario happened to me just yesterday morning. I researched it and this issue does seem to be popping up more frequently among Samsung phones. Maybe power button design is faulty and they're starting to wear out now after a year plus of use? I sent mine off to MobileTechVideos today to be fixed. I feel so lost without my phone!

What I've read is no. Its not the button its self, but the circuits behind the button that mess up. Unless you are really skilled at soldering and can re wire the board, I don't see that happening.

Hi,
Ive googled about this matter and cant seem to find a solution for the galaxy tab s lte but for other samsung devices since s3 is possible.
Ive also tried the Auto Power On app (paid apps) both of them didnt work and requested a refund.
It seems that we have to modify the file /system/bin/playlpm or /system/bin/lpm or /system/bin/ipod for this to work.
Ive tried everything and still doesnt work on the galaxy tab s lte.
What i need is for the tablet to boot upon connected to charger when the state is off. Now all i can see is the battery icon stating its charging but never boot into android.
Anyone have any idea how to make this work for the galaxy tab s lte?
Cheers.
Well it begs the question as to why in the world would anyone want this?
I wouldn't want my tab on every time I charge it.
I think you would need a custom rom, don't the apps you can download/buy, need your device to be already running so they can shutdown or run an app or change a mode when they detect you plugging in or removing the charger.

Why would anyone need this? Let me answer you.
Some of us use our android tablets in cars ... There's app to make the tablet shutdown when u turn off the engine and the power is disconnected (tons of them).
But when u start the engine back and the power is re-connected, the tablet wont turn on. Right now the only solution i can do is to use tasker to airplane mode on the device when the display is off, and airplane mode off when the display turns back on. This saves power so that the tablet doesnt run out of juice overnight in the car.
So most of this has to do with in-car tablet systems that you want it to boot up as you start your engine. I can custom rom my tablet to run CM12 however even CM12 doesnt boot up, some settings needs to be changed and im not sure which part so i need some help on this.
Cheers.

Thanks in advance.

C'mon. You and I both know that this is a niche scenario, and normally it's a bad idea. If your running low enough on battery to run you device dead, you want it to charge a while before turning on. We've all been waiting on a dead phone to get a few percentage points charged so that way it doesn't die immediately upon startup.
I've been leaving my Tab S on a constant power supply in the car. This means I have to turn it on and off manually. I have been toying with using Tasker to turn the screen on/off based on connection with a BT device that would be powered by an switched power source.
The problem I get is warning messages about trying to charge the battery while it is too hot or too cold.

Why dont u try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.as.powerchecker it will close the android once ur power is disconnected from the car ...
As for turning it back on when u start. Still no solution ...
Any help guys? Last time asking ...
Using Tasker and Secure Settings, I can get the tablet to turn the screen on and off when the power is connected. If rooted, you could turn Airplane Mode on and off in Tasker also. But short of a change in the firmware, I have no idea how to power off and restart based on external power connection.
From what I remember, when CM12 was still buggy... when you connect a charger when it was powered off, it would show the battery icon and automatically reboot into recovery. Of course that was a bug, so I don't really know.

Same here, did you find an answer?
Same here but no solution found
Iam trying to set my tablet to auto start/boot when charger is connected in mini usb port. I didnot find lpm.sh in root\system\bin folder to modify. But i found ilm file with below script. Plz tell how to modify to make powered off tablet to boot when charger is connected.
Script to start "pm" on the device, which has a very rudimentary
# shell.
#
base=/system
export CLASSPATH=$base/framework/ime.jar
exec app_process $base/bin com.android.commands.ime.Ime "[email protected]"
You can instruct init to reboot the device whenever charger mode is detected. Create a new .rc file or edit any existing one:
# /system/etc/init/off_mode_charge.rc
on charger
setprop sys.powerctl reboot,leaving-off-mode-charging
