This happened twice this morning. My Bionic was on my desk, idling, for about an hour. I picked it up and push the power button to wake it up, but it didn't wake up.
I also long-pressed the power button, and it still wake my phone up. Only after taking the battery out was I able to restart the phone. Then the same thing happened again about 30 minutes later. I might have to exchange with another unit, but I don't want to since I like how everything else is working great.
Has anyone run into Bionic not waking up from idle?

It sounds like it might have locked up while it was asleep. I haven't had this happen on my Bionic. Were any apps, especially large ones, left running while it was sleeping? My last phone wouldn't wake up properly if Google Maps or Angry Birds were left running for a while when it was sleeping.

Just curious how long do you have to hold the power button to get the Bionic out of sleep mode? I have to hold it for a good 5-6 seconds, this is longer than I need to hold it to power up.
Mine wakes up instantly.

Interesting.
This isn't a deal breaker for me, I won't return it as this seems to be the only problem, if it is indeed a problem.
Anybody else?
Give seconds for me also. Has anyone tried receiving a phone call while in sleep? Supposedly it is supposed to wake up but I haven't tested it yet.

I'm not exactly sure what the point of sleep mode is. Is it just a hibernate mode? Do you guys actually turn your phones off?
Swyped from my Droid Bionic, unless I was in landscape, in which case I Swiftkeyed the hell out of it.

I have to store my phone in my locker at work. It makes it faster then waiting for a full boot.
Bionic won't wake up from Sleep
I had to pull the battery out of mine. I would not come out of sleep mode at all. Also, I tried calling it while it was "asleep" and the call rolled straight to voicemail.
Hey my Bionic shut itself off for no reason. It wouldn't even start back up like it should from being shut off normally. The only way i could get it to turn on again was to remove the battery. After I put it back in the thing turned on without a problem. Any ideas as to what might cause this? Yes it is rooted and has been pretty much since I have had it, but this is the first time i have had any issues with it at all.
No idea what causes it.... it has happened to me twice. Once the first day I got it and again yesterday. I know I have read about this happening to others on here.

I've had this issue 10+ times in the last month. Only resolution seems to be yanking the battery.
I have had this happen as well. Do any of you have in pocket detection enabled? I did, disabled it, hasn't happened since.

My first 1 started that then died I did the fastboot restore and still shuts down when it starts heating up. My second started the BSOD today I had installed a themed gmail yesterday and FPse emulator when it started so I rolled it back to a previous backup no problem so far my other phone died a day after installing FPse not sure if that has anything to do with it I believe it's an internal heat problem.

Mines restart itself kind of randomly. My pocket protection is off and it does it. Not sure what causes it but it has done it to me at least 10 times so far.

So is this somewhat normal? Should I worry about it at all?
I have also experienced this problem. I have installed the leaked update. Does anyone think the update will fix this problem?
I wont know until a few days since thats about how often it happpens.
Was excited opened the box today and played with the nexus 7 for about 3 hrs. Installed some apps and download a movie. Then the screen went black and never came back. It was charging at the time. Tried holding the power button for 10 seconds and nothing. Called Google they said hold all three buttons, that did nothing. Guess I'm taking it back to game stop. Going to have to wait for another to come in. Anyone else have this issue out any ideas

There was another similar occurrence earlier today. Think it was from UK maybe? Most likely you'll need to call Google for RMA.
Which firmware were you running?
Google said return it to game stop. Gs said they would take it back. It was running the latest update. Bc it ran an update after I opened it

Yup, I had exactly the same problem. Screen froze, flickered and then died completely. Btw, if you press the bezel around the screen is the left hand edge in portrait spongier/less robust than the rest of the device?

Hmm. Don't want to be "that guy" but... You only mention taking it out and playing.
Did you actually try plugging it in?
Edit: Woops, missed it on my phone. If it was charging, I'd advise you to get in touch with google. Try volume up + power for 10 seconds too though, just to be sure.

I hope mine is not faulty, it is on its way.
Similar things have happened on my Lumia 900. It has helped me to plug it in and out over and over and then try the button reset.

After getting an RA from ebuyer, I now have it working again after a number of hours on charge and doing much as txaggies07 quote suggests. I think there may have been a problem that the charge wasn't going through properly yesterday, even though I plugged it in and it registered on the icon top right. Once the screen died there was no response with the usual charging icon even after disconnect and reconnect (I even tried a different mains socket!) However, since I got it to boot again I have had 2 random reboots without doing anything taxing on it.
It is kinda flaky behaviour, but maybe it is worth a shot aklbeach? At least until Monday !

Yea I tried holding the power button for ten seconds and holding all 3 buttons like Google recommended. I already returned it to game stop. Now just waiting on another. It was plugged in to the wall charger. It was showing that it was charging and I tried plugging it in again the next day and still didn't do anything.

I had a similar experience. Played with mine for about 6 hours.
Testing things, trying things out, downloading apps, etc.
Put it to sleep and was preparing for bed myself. After a few minutes
I decided to download one more app. Tried to wake it up, but it was dead!
Tried all sorts of things: long press, pressing several of the buttons, tried
to connect it to PC to see if it would be recognized -- no go
I then plugged it into the wall to charge it overnight to see if that would work (no charging icon showed up)
The next day, still dead.
Called Google Play and they are sending me a new one.
I would say pull the battery for a minute and then plug it back in a try again but i think that might void the warranty. Seriously my G2 does that when its in my pocket sometimes and pressing the power button does nothing until a pull the battery. I'm about 68% sure that pulling the battery will get it to boot again.
Honestly though any electronic device with a sealed battery should come with on of those paperclip hard reset buttons, unfortunately logic fails some time.

No worries, not a waste. I had to check myself when it died. And when it wouldn't charge (did I turn it on at the wall? Maybe the socket is broken? Has there been a power cut? Am I imagining this?) Weird thing was it came back to life after much fiddling. I now think there may have been a stray piece of plastic or similar covering a pin and blocking the feed.

Damn it all. I have the infamous, random, crazy battery drain that ICS has plagued android users with. After googling i've found no permanent solutions. I'm drawing anywhere between 500mah to 2100mah without doing anything. g'ah!
Did you turn off all notifications? Did you check to see if GPS and other battery-draining services are off? My battery seems fine, and I'm on my phone all day!

Shut your phone down and pull the battery for at least 10 seconds. Then put the battery back in a start it back up.

I know. thanks, but it didn't work for me. I tried numerous "fixes", but all are temporary fixes. Theres a bug in the ICS kernel that hasn't been fixed. I, after trying numerous methods, just left it alone for a while. Surprisingly it seems to have gone away on its own. Not sure if its something I did or not, but so far so good.

i'm using the mugen 5400mah extended battery.i've optimized my phone in terms of power usage and i've been quite pleased with it until i posted this. It a known bug in the ics kernel. No one knows where it stems from or how its permanently fixed, but its random. My phone, just sitting, started drawing 500mah to 2100mah out of no where. I only noticed when i looked at my phone just to check the time and saw my battery widget showing some crazy numbers. So yeah....
Hey guys need some advice here. My one just recently hit 120F the other day and now that's a norm when charging. (screen off charging) Also, it will not charge even overnight, after about 6 hours the battery went from ~14% to 64% and the led was blinking red, battery indicator did not show that it was charging.
What can I do on my end? I know I'll probably have to get it replaced but I just wanted to know if there's anything else that will fix it.
Thank you

Try charging with the phone powered off. I know this might help cuz you need your phone on but it's the only option. After that send it back.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Blinking red while charging means the phone is too hot to charge. Wait until it cools down and try again.
You can also try a "battery pull" by holding down the power button while the phone is on until the capacitive button lights start blinking and keep holding it until it turns off. Temp sensor might be stuck.

Yeah ill try doing it powered off. It's weird cuz that's how I always charge it, but hey its hitting 100F ambient temp here so maybe that's it. My phone also gets super hot when watching a video and can drain a full battery in about 1:30 hours

Might try a battery stats app and see if something is running away on you. I occasionally use opera browser and found it would kill my battery really fast with the screen off if I didn't actually exit out of it - can't ever leave it in the background. Maybe you have something similar...
