Hi Guys
I've a problem with my SGS.
When the phone has been out of use for a few hours, when i try to to push the "on/off" button or the menu button, the screen will not activate, it just stays black.
When i press vol up/down, it's making sounds - as it should. So the phone is on, but the screen will not turn on.
Is anybody familiar with that problem and a solution?
I'm using DarkyROM JVQ v. 10.2 (Resurrection Edt.) with Launcher Pro Plus v0.8.6
I have to pull out the battery and start up the phone every time, which is pretty annoying.
I hope someone is able to help me out.
Thanks in advance.
bump!
here we go
provide help... i need... thx mates
I can't help you to fix that other than advising to change ROM/kernel but what I can tell you is that you don't need to pull out the battery, you just have to long-press (approx 10 secs) the power button until the phone reboots.
I'm not sure this will help but I had the same problem and after flashing back and forth testing different kernels and roms I came to the conclusion that it had to be hardware related. I removed the Sd card and everything started working as normal.
Have same problem. I have stock XXJVT and root kernel. It happenes not so often (once per month), but it is really anoying. Anyone find a cause/solution?
Maybe you have K 9-Mail installed. I had the same problem and after I removed, everything was Ok. I have xxjvt and Speedmod Kernel K16-7.
If you don't have K9 and you have a lagfix activated maybe you didn't activated on all partitions. This I read in Speedmod topic.

Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) Black Screen on wake up.
Hi,

I got this problem too :/

i think it's a hardware problem, the proximity sensor...
With XXJVT I had the same problem. It happened once in every two - three days. So went Back to 2.3.3.
I was thinking that it was because of some customization with XXJVT. But now I see that it happens in 2.3.5 firmwares.

Sounds like a SOD (sleep of death) problem. Your phone doesn't manage to get out of deep sleep for some reason. on Cm7 this was caused by BLN activated custom kernels, but I don't know if that's the case here.
Try searching for the sleep of death issue, maybe there is a solution somewhere on XDA?

SOD it is.
Are you undervolting using setcpu or the like? I know I had massive issues like this at first when uv'ing - the frequency and volts were stable when the screen was on but after some time of deep sleep...nada.
If you are uv'ing then try playing with the volts some more (especially at 100mhz)

Samsung galaxy si9000 startup problem
Hi Guys
Looking for a bit of help if possible
I have a samsung galaxy si9000 and unfortunately the problem occurred over night. The phone was working fine the evening before but when I woke up it wouldn't turn on. I get lights on the soft keys at the bottom and occasionally hear the startup 'music' for samsung but the screen is just black. I cannot get onto the reboot screen and the 3 key combination (volume up/down (i tried both) + Home + Power) doesn't seem to put anything on the screen. The screen just stays black throughout. I really don't want to send it back to samsung as i know I will be charged an arm and a leg for this, especially when it wasn't really my fault, all I did was went to bed. Thanks and I look forward to any help

Remove Battery, Sim Card and Ext SD card, than press and hold power button for a min and than try to restart phone without ext SD card and sim card... see if anything changes If failed you should use Recovery tools , links on My Android Collections, below to check, what state the phone is in.
I also have this problem...
Searching/reading similar posts I have the feeling there are slightly different issues.
In my case, the screen doesn't light up (also no lights on the soft keys) but the phone works! I called it and it rings (but can't answer w/o screen, maybe I can try with some auto-answer), and I can also hear the sounds when modifying volume.
It doesn't wake up by plugging the power source (and nor by calling it, as written above). I have also tried "Wake All" app, and it doesn't change anything.
I am on stock 2.3.6 XXJW4 with Semaphore kernel 2.7.4, but no tweaks like oc,ov...
Could "normal" software could have such an effect?? Or it's a driver issue? Or (worse) hardware??
I think it's not hardware, because it works after reboot (pressing 10s power button, no baterry removal).
Thanks for any hint.

Hi, I have the same problem as well as the others. I tried your method of restarting the phone without anything and holding it down for a good minute. Nothing happens. The LED lights go on, I feel vibrations when I turn off and on the phone. I have not dropped it either. Do you know of any solution that could help me?
Much appreciated!!
Also, if you direct me to your Android Recovery Tools which one do I pick under that category and what do I do?
Thanks so much!!!
Users who use the sema-kernel ,have you activated "deep idle" ???
Has someone tested with nornal "stock" without any custom kernel, i mean all stock if the prob appears ...
What is about the hints of xsenman - can anyone confirm that the "SOD" is gone ???

First try connecting Phone to PC, check IF USB connection is possible, you will hear your PC sound when and IF your PC has debugging ON and can get into USB mass storage mode
IF it connects , you can use a managing tool, like
My Phone Explorer V 1.8.4 download client from Google Play Store works with USB cable to manage phone from PC
Moborobo
Mobogenie
For Chinese Clones
Mobizen USE & Manage Phone from PC
Second you can try a Android reboot tool ( from the recovery tools) in My Android collections, to check if your display is not the issue here.
Check this out!You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.

Hi folks,
I'm having big problems with my Diamond. Yesterday evening i was listening to MP3 with the Headset. After I decided not to throw the phone against the wall cause the Windows Media Player did not continue playing the next MP3 on the playlist without me pressing "next", i turned it off and removed the headset.
This morning i woke up, the display was on and not going off again (no power cable connected). Some minutes later the alarm should wake me up, but the phone just vibrated and displayed the message, no alarm noise. I ignored, dismissed the message and waited for the next alarm 10 minutes later ... but nothing happened. Then i tried to play any sound in "Sounds and Notifications" but there was nothing to hear.
As I'm used to the phone not playing the alarm, i did a soft reset. The black today screen came up (just before TouchFlow 3D normally starts) and then the phone froze. Start menu did not work, nothing.
3 Soft-Resets and a connected power cable later, the same - phone freezes just when ToughFlow 3D should start. I tried a hard reset as a last solution and then ... error message.
The message "Trigger USB Host" appears for a while, then a red message "retry enter USB" displays. Phone does this for 4 or 5 times, then gives up and shows following message with a Red/Green/Blue/White Background:
--------------------------RED--------------------------
DIAM100 64;
SPL-1.37.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
-------------------------GREEN------------------------
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
--------------------------BLUE------------------------
-------------------------WHITE------------------------
USB
-------------------------------------------------------
Looks like this tells me, that the USB Port does not work.
Is it possible that the USB is broken by the Headset, maybe a combination of weak braze point and bad move?
Trying the HardReset again and again (with and without power cable, with and without SIM card inside) results in the same behavior.
I ordered a spare device on amazon and will return this as broken.
Colleague from me had today the same issue after installing new ROM (Bepe 0.54) and trying to restore his "old" backup afterwards. Didnt boot up afterwards and after hardreset the USB message appeared.
We connected at that state the phone to the PC and started Bepes Romupdate again. This worked without any problem and the phone seems to be fixed now.
I did not install any custom ROM and do not really want to do it, as i want to send it back as "broken"
The problem is, i've applied the tweaks described in the forum, e.G. removed the start screen and animation. Had no problems with it before, but that should not be the reason for not working HardReset, is it?
btw, the "USB" down below shows me that the phone is in USB mode, removing the cable changes display to "SERIAL". The Computer shows a device "PocketPC USB Sync".
Is there any way to trigger kind of hard reset through this device, as it seems to be a way to install new roms?
Here a photo ... btw, after 1st try it's showing these not healthy looking lines on the display:

Someone tell me, if i'm doing something wrong with the HardReset.
Its your choice if you want to install new ROM or not (need to install USPL unlock first). If you can wait until you get it repaired back then of course its the safer way ...
uhm, okay ... next time, please someone tell me that "the OK Button" is not the top-right one, it's the one in the middle.
Now the HardReset (which really was one) worked, yay

Well, it's empty and back to factory defaults ... but working, for now.
Hope my E-Mail to amazon was early enough so they don't send me a new one.

No not your fault HTC forgot to put an standard image on machine.
Had same problem phone is going back now to store.
If you look closely to previous screen it says (realy fast though) no image found. the screen you posted means that the machine is looking for an image trough usb port. So your usb port isn't broken. I find it really strange of htc that there is no image on machine because sometimes you just want to reset to factory setting (i do cause i try and test alot on it). Anyway on htc site there is an new upgraded image wich you can try. Its an exe so just attach diamond to pc (active synch needs to be installed) and run exe

I have a quick question - When you do a hard reset, do you only loose your personal data and programs on the RAM storage, or do you also loose all data on the internal 4 Gb storage ?????

When you're in the same screen I was, you're wrong with the HardReset as I was. The "OK Button" you have to press to hard reset is not the "back" button in the top right corner of the phone, they mean the center (navwheel) button.
So to do a HardReset, press VolumeDown and NavWheelButton and Reset the phone. Then it will ask you if you really know what you're doing, then press VolumeUp button to accept.
Afterwards you're happy owner of an nearly empty phone

Phone 4 GB store stays untouched, so HardReset does not delete files on the ExternalStorage.
Kewl thnx will try when i have phone back
had a problem with GPS aswell so...............

after a hard reset you have the option to wipe and format the storage also. you choose yes or no by pressing a different combination of vol button...don't remember exactly but the option is there..
about the main problem here, sorry that happened but i have the feeling that u are not doing a hard reset. the description of yr screen in the first post make be believe you are bringing the diamond to the bootloader screen...the hard reset screen is grey (?)
ask somebody to help you. one is pressing the volume and the round button and the other one press the red reset button. first release the red button and after a few secs release the other ones. i wish i can help more, i can only imagine what you are feeling..
I attempted to root my Galaxy S (Ohh, i live en Denmark and it's not branded but my provider is "3") but i somehow got some links mixed up, so instead of getting the right firmware for my SGS for 2.2 i got one which is 2.2 BUT, when it starts/shuts down it takes 2-3 times longer because there's an "AT&T" logo/bootscreen.
So i thought i would just flash it to "I9000XXJE2" so it would be 2.1 and i could start over. But here comes the biggest problem, is that when i just connect it to my PC it shut's down
And since it got the personality disorder where it thinks it's from the US and AT&T i can't get into download mode either, have literally searched since 11 PM last night (10 PM here now..) i'm so freaking tired and annoyed, been using a "Nokia 3310" to make calls.
So i don't now what the hell to do!..
Is there some how a way to root/something/fix whatever from the phone? Cause i can start it, but download mode/recovery doesn't work, and it i connect USB it shuts down immediately.
Hope you Android masterminds can help me!.. I'm going to bed now and see if there's answers later...
Theres no way to fix it, Send it to repair shop or search in the site for Galaxy S JIG as its hardware device that forces the SGS into download mode.
The JIG method would work fine. Give it a shot!
just encase you're not sure about the JIG thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Hope you get it working
Thanks very much! I will try the jig thingy for a final try!.. Hope it works!
Okaay.. So apparently it's VERY difficult to get those resistors if you live in a small town in Denmark, and your mom denies to buy ANYTHING on the net..
And now the phone almost died, apparently it won't charge (Didn't notice at topic start) any other advice?.. I'm guessing Samsung/"3" won't help since
root=no warranty?..
EDIT: If it wasn't clear i can start the phone, but can't connect to pc get into DL mode, but i can access SD card from phone, so is there maybe something i can put on that? To help?..
Anyone?... I wrote to "3" and Samsung, but they say something about root and they can't help.
So i guess i somehow gotta find that resistor or=no phone?.. I mean, if it would just charge, i could see if i could make it work.. But now there's only very little battery, and i've tried SO many things from this forum!

I'm also from Denmark which software have you flashed and how?
You still have the white "Galaxy S" logo, not the AT&T logo, as the first thing on the screen when you boot up, right? It sounds like you have the AT&T CSC loaded, which is not the same as having the AT&T bootloader, which is what happened to a few people.
You still have the phone booting so you probably don't need the jig solution. Have you tried Terminal Emulator app with the commands "su" + "reboot download" (root required)?
It is rooted and i can start it up, and it won't recharge.
When i press powerbutton there is a white AT&T logo and then the normal Galaxy S start-up.
I rooted with "Doc Froyo" and then by accident in "SGS tools" from market pressed, and i'm not totally sure here, cause it was an accident. But something that said something about changing the lockscreen? and i either pressed JM6 "Eclair"
Or JE6 "Eclair" by accident (Stupid fat fingers..) and then it froze, and would'nt do anything so i rebooted it, and then it said AT&T and won't charge now/connect to PC both things shut it down, and it divides numbers weird..
I mean, it says for example: 123-45-1234 or something, ya know.. The US style, and it is like i'm driving at 9000 mp/h with the noise when i call someone (Tried it a couple of times)
(The number should be along the lines of 12345678)
Not sure what "Terminal Emulator" is, is there a guide/video to it?--
Tingen: I used something called "Odin v1.3" i think it was called and "Doc Froyo's"
And it was perfect, but cause of my fat fingers/clumsy self, i pressed "Apply" instead of the homebutton, and then it got "You're a moron" disease -.-'
And now the homebutton don't work either (Guess Captivate (Which it thinks it is now in menu, but when i start it, it says Galaxy S) has a touch homebutton or something?.. And back button which used to go one back, e.g. If i was in "some setting in settings menu" and pressed back it would go one back, now it goes back to desktop, back is kinda what "home" was before..
There's not much battery left, 25-30% but i can start it quick to see what it says in settings (The kernel/something/something) if that would help?..
Last time i turned everything off and connections of and no live wallpaper and airplane-mode and brightness down so hopefully, i can try something without it dying.. But just say if it can help and i will post those data
Thank you both, for answering my post, thought i was going to get no replies and end up with a new paperweight..
EDIT!!!: I think i'll post a video in a couple of hours (It's the middle of the night in Denmark right now)

It's the "Android Terminal Emulator" app from the market. Running it and entering the commands "su" and "reboot download" should get into download mode.
It's really risky flashing with so little battery left, you could end up bricking it much worse. If possible find someone with the same phone or a store who will let you charge the battery.
Because you've replaced the bootloader with the AT&T version you need to flash a full ROM that includes the standard bootloaders. Don't flash a 3-button fix or an update ROM. To check you have a full ROM make sure the PDA .tar file that you're flashing includes boot.bin and sbl.bin. You can open it to check with WinRAR.
I just very quickly tried that.. I got the thing downloaded, but when i wrote
SU it said not found.
So back again. I guess i need to see if others have a Galaxy which will let my put my battery in theirs so it can charge.
EDIT: Ohh, and also got the data from setting:
Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I879
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband: I897UCJI6
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
[email protected] 11 #1
Build: FROYO.UCJI6
EDIT2: And the charger is in, and i noticed (Still can't see battery logo or anything) that from the M-USB (Cover is off) and to where the hole is (Where the battery sits) it's warm, but battery even now after 10-15 minutes isn't warm at all, it's like it goes all the way to the little gold thingys that connect the phone to the battery, and then stops there just before the battery.
The battery is getting SLITHGLY warmer in the top, but i think it's just from the top part of the phone being warm.
I'll post some pics/video with description later.
OH! If it helps, it seems it was not SGS tools! But "Galaxy S Tweaker" or GST from market, it has a white logo with a wrench on it, if you search on appstore and download the app you can see what i did.

It needs to be "su" in lowercase, did you try that? If it still doesn't work in lowercase it means your root didn't work, or isn't installed properly. Try the z4root app to fix it.
Tried lowercase, don't work.
What is "z4root" for?
I see it says root/unroot, but which should i choose?
Ok. downloaded it and i could choose root, so i did. now it says
"Please wait while root completes and you
device is rebooted..."
been like that for 3 minutes, how long does it usually takes?..

It's been like that for a long time, but at least the pc recognizes it now, and DL mode is working! THANK YOU! If you lived in Denmark you'd be getting a case of beers now!
Even if this won't work, i at least can charge it and get into DL mode, the Z4 thing solver the root, and Terminal worked after that! Thanks!
Hmm it seems that it get's stuck in odin (tried odin v1.3 and on-click) at "SetupConnection"
But i'm going to see if i can maybe charge my phone now
EDIT: Aaaaaand now there's a weird
"mobile phone - - triangle with ! - - computer"
icon, hard to explain..
Hmm. Seems now i'm really screwed..
So if hairdryer heat thing won't work, i'm sending it to support, and hope they don't say "screw you, you broke it" (In sciency terms of course) and send a bill.
I hate this, right now until this work, my phone is an old Nokia which can make calls and won't send text messages.
I've been using smartphones for 5-6 years. I feel so "trapped" or "claustrophobic" with this Nokia.
Mailed Samsung a week ago, they said i should talk to my provider first, so i mailed "3" 3 days ago, and they said i should contact Samsung.. :S
So wrote to "3" again that they said i should contact Samsung. But they haven't answered yet, god it's frustrating!
I did something stupid because I kept getting the samsung boot loop. What had happened was that I successfully installed the khasmod rom for the Verizon tab but tried backing up rom through clockwork program, tab rebooted itself after pressing "back up rom". Tab got stuck in boot loop, so I used heimdall to flash a STOCK Verizon firmware(to also include boot.bin and sbl files). It successfully flashed and the tab went blank and never came back. With that said where can put this under... A lop-sided table leg crutch or a book shelf holder? All jokes aside, anyone know the next course of action?

more details...
does the tab light up at all or is it just a black screen and wont turn on at all?
wait a few days to let it die all the way out and stick it on the original samsung usb wall charger...if you dont get a battery icon on the screen id say youre pretty much done.
i bricked mine but luckily i was still within my 2 week window with t-mo and they exchanged it...i mean they couldnt put it in bootloader to see if it had been hacked so what else could they do.
i read a post about a special cable you can make with a certain resistor wired into it so when you plug it into the tab it resets something and will let you go into download mode again...
BUT...if i remember correctly, it only worked when you get stuck at a splash screen, and if the tab wont turn on at all, it wont work.
any other paperweight ideas?
google around a bit more and see if theres some kind of option...i think you could try and send it to samsung if its under its 1yr warranty still, but thats a gamble if they DO get it working and see youve hacked it...voiding your warranty.
i just wonder if they could get it to turn on, and find your recovery, they still have to send it back to you...so if they fix the turning on issue, slap it in download and do the rest yourself. thatd be my last resort, fingers crossed bro, i know how ya feel right now, it sucked for me
No lights at all...
Tried: holding down power and vol down for 10 mins in the John.
Plugging into USB with CPU or charger and no battery icon... Left overnight even.
It's like it's sleeping or in an inception searching for something.
I've done hd2 and G2 but the flashing here is ultra brick mode capable...
Can you print the exact command you used for Heimdall? Assuming you entered all the files in the correct place then I assume it's simply a matter of flashing a primary or secondary bootloader that is not designed for your device. If the primary bootloader is still okay then you can use a custom jig to boot your device into download mode using the backup secondary bootloader. Search the forums for "custom jig", you might have more luck in the Galaxy S section though.
Is it kinda hard too do
Well to I've print screened my Heimdall setup in the pic below...
I 'm pretty sure I did myself in with the boot.bin and sbl.bin files --- I had the Khasmod v2. rom installed previous to this flash and sure enough -- I recalled reading something about not flashing such files due to bootloader lock or something to that effect.
Here is the web address of the file I got for the Stock Verizon Heimdall files:

Im curious about that jig custom process for the galaxy S that I guess would work for the Tab...But I don't think my laptop would read or recognize an incepted Tab that wouldn't go into download or recovery or telephone --?---computer mode.
I'm pretty darn certain I would never touch a firmware upgrade or rom or kernal install with a 7inch Tab....I'm OTA all the way if my tab comes back alive

I did this exact thing to my tab... So there is no solution?

Hold the power button down by itself for about 10 seconds, let go, then do it again.
If nothing happens either time, put it on the shelf for about a week, then try it again, then plug it into the proper charger for a couple of hours, then try it again.
If it does nothing at any stage, then you can try returning it under warranty and see if they'll take pity on you.
I was in worse situation than u few days back, I tired going back stock jk2 from OverCome rom.
Tab got stuck in 'Phone connecting to PC mode' It's worst than the Samsung loop.
I read somewhere than 'if odin can detect yr tab, then it's not brick' just that u need the correct files.

Your problem is fixable. My tab is bricked. Won't turn on, odin won't recognise.. Nothing. I am sending it into samsung tomorrow hoping they will do something about it.

I'm in the exact same boat. Flashed those exact same files using Heimdall and now the thing won't turn on at all. I'm gonna give it a few days to see if the battery drains and plugging it in starts something up. Otherwise I guess I have no choice but to send it to Samsung as well.
I was in the same boat. I was trying to flash back to stock in oldin and something went wrong, tablet would do anything but show lights at bottom. Call carrier and Samsung said was covered under the one year manufacture warranty. I was without tablet for 2 weeks but not out of and money.
Appologies if this has been asked/answered here before. I tried searching, but didn't find any solution. Maybe someone else has stronger Google skills than I.
Here is what I am trying to do. I'd like to find a way to have the Galaxy Tab power on automatically when it is plugged in to power and begins charging. My company has several Galaxy Tabs (rooted) that are being used for a specialized purpose. They should be plugged in 24/7. However, it is possible that they will lose power, and the battery will eventually run down. When power is restored, I'd like to be sure that they come back on, without any user interaction.
I don't THINK this is the case, but it is worth asking: Is this a standard Android setting I can change anywhere?
I assume I will have to modify some code. Right now, I notice that when the Tab is turned off, and you plug it in, the charging indicator shows up and displays the battery levels. To me this indicates that code is running SOMEWHERE as soon as the Tab gets plugged in. I'd like to hijack that, and just have it power on.
Does anyone know where I should start looking for the code that runs when the device is plugged in? I found a charging.jpg in /mnt/.lfs that seems to be the image that displays, but so far no sign of what code is running. If there is any sort of init script, that would be amazing if someone could point that out.
Even if you don't know how to accomplish this, if you have any helpful pointers or "take a look at these files" to point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
As always guys, thanks for all the help!
SOLVED: Power on when plugged in (boot when docked)?
Hey guys, I know that no one else may ever have any use for this, or even care, but I wanted to post an update. I was finally able to get this figured out through some guess work, trial and error, and looking at the work someone else did on a fairly similar project.
I owe plenty of credit to the fine work done by Chainfire on his project described in this link. His work, while not the same project, demonstrated that something similar to what I wanted to do WAS possible.
Anyway, to make the tablet boot up when first plugged in- The battery charging indicator that runs when you first plug in the Galaxy Tab is run from the file /system/bin/playlpm. To make it boot automatically, delete the old playlpm (or better yet, rename it to playlpm.bak, just in case) and replace it with the following script.
/system/bin/playlpm
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/reboot
Be sure to set the ownership and permissions the same as the old playlpm. It didn't work for me at first because I had forgotten to give execute permission.
Thats all that it takes. Most of the time, the Tab should have enough power to go straight to booting. If the battery is really dead, it may flash the charging battery icon a few times, failing to boot until it gets enough charge. It will eventually come on.
I don't know of any additional side-effects for doing it this way, but there may be some, I don't know what else the stock playlpm is supposed to manage. This worked for my purposes though. Hope it could help someone else.
Hi DavidThompson256,
Just want to say thank you for your research, I've been looking for the same thing a few months and just discovered your post.
I thought it is something to do to the kernel but looks like this simple mod can do the trick.
Thanks again!
Ironically, I have an opposite problem. My phone automatically reboots when plugged in. My searching led me to your post. I installed the nomoarpower app but I could get it to keep my pad turned off. LOL
Did you have to root the tab before making this change?
Thinking about picking up the Galaxy Tab Plus but need it to do the same thing and boot when the power is plugged in.
An update?
I have cm9 how do i find the file for my gsii?
there is no such file as the one you speak for my device, how did you find what file yours was?
I am having a similar issue with a Nexus 7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815131
I cant find the file mentioned, I am assuming its probably renamed to something else, any advice would be greatly appreciated!
As many others I dont have this file on my galaxy tab II
But i do have the kernel doing someing when pluged in when the device is not powerd on. First it tryed to show the splash img and then starts the charing animation. Does anyone know where this script is launched on a galaxy tab 2 7"?
Thank you! Been looking like a mad person for a solution like this for a couple of days and only found NoMoarPowah, which didn't fit my needs.
Thank you...worked perfectly on my SGS3
on the s6500
thanks, this was really helpful. I've got this working on the Samsung Galaxy s6500 (mini 2), and I had to make a small addition to the script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
su
/system/bin/reboot

I made one minor tweak to the code, as follows:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 20
/system/bin/reboot
This makes the program wait 20 seconds between recognizing that the device is plugged in before issuing the reboot command. This helps ensure my device has enough juice to actually start, hopefully on the first try but if not, then on the second.
You can adjust the sleep length as desired - see here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-sleep-bash-scripting/
I tried to install this app on my Galaxy Tab P1000. (Official Android 2.3.6 - rooted)
I always got the error message "202 - not enought space on /system ..."
So I installed MIUI V5 and MIUI V4 on my Tab.
I was able to install the app on both ROMs.
But both of them are not working properly.
If I turn off my device, it shows me the "new" battery info.
One second later, the display is getting darker.
One more second later, the display is turned off.
I am also not able to click on "reboot now".
(the timer option is working fine. I can set it to 2330 and the Tab will start at this time)
I want to use my Tab in my car instead of the built-in radio.
So I need that app getting working!
Please tell me which ROM u're using and which kernel
I'd be happy if someone else could help me with my problem

Hi there, I'm a noob! I have a rooted Galaxy Note (first one), how do I write this script? Do I have to make a file and inside the file just write that text in there? And is that all I have to do to make my phone autoboot on charge?
Hy guys, i want to ask. But first I want to let you know that this is not my phone, I use this phone only temporarily, but I am here and asking because there is something that makes me (sometimes) feel very very upset and frustrated.
This is my brother's phone, and he also asked me to help him in fixing the problem I was about to ask...
The problem is: Automatic freezes and reboots
That simple isn't it? But the impact is big, during that phase I can only use this phone for only a few minutes because my phone keeps freezes and auto reboots, basically during that phase, I can't do anything, all I can do is wait until it returns to normal or turn off my phone for a few minutes which is obviously quite long, more than 10 minutes going like that (freezes and auto reboots). Version number 52.1.A xxxxx (I forgot, there are clearly 3 numbers at the end), I tried to downgrade to version number 52.1.A.3.92 but it didn't change anything.

oh yeah, the trigger is a change in everything related to connectivity (WiFi, bluetooth, gps, sim card, etc), even when activating auto-rotate. Hard reset, flashing, downgrade, reset connectivity, nothing helps. Can anyone provide a solution? can downgrading the android version or using a custom rom help? is this just a software bug or a hardware problem?
thank you

I'm also having the same problem. Is there any solution?
I have same problem
My xz3 is so01l
I guess ta broken
Who can help fix?
hey i have had this problem for months now. Recently I flashed to a custom version (originally on SOV39) and i rooted my device and the problem still persisted. However, I found a temporary fix without messing with the hardware.
By disabling the sensors and then rebooting. It stopped randomly restarting and I can even use the device with airplane mode turned off while having all the internet functions working.
You can find it on Developer Settings - Quick Settings Developer Tiles - Sensors Off. From there you can just toggle it off on the Quickbar menu and reboot the device. Hopefully it works for you too!
I have same reboot problem, only restarts after a min in normal mode. Works fine in flight and safe mode
I took a notice it can be the cell radio as it is off in plane mode.
I find side sense and one hand mode. Is it the things to turn off? I have the same problem, works fine in flight or safe mode. Some wrote it could be the cell radio.
I have checked for the updated version of Android System Webview as another wrote in another thread it could be that by going to Apps and Storage - Play Store. But it is not on my phone so that can't be the problem for me. I have turned off 2 sensors, side and one hand mode but it restarts after a halv min in normal mode.

I tried the same solution (update system webview) and didn´t work for me, I´m currently performing a software repair to see if it helps, the thing is that my phone doesn´t reboot as often but still it´s upseting me.
I was able to partially solve my problem with my phone, I took out the black antenna frame and very carefully placed transparent scotch tape (because it´s thinner than medical tape) in all the contacts that are marked in red in the atached picture but now I´m thinking that I shouls have placed tape also on the places marked with green.
So what change I experienced on my phone with this method?
well the phone now has Network and wifi signal all the time and very ocassionaly it does lose the network and wifi signal for a second but when this happen the phone does not say that there is no sim card and does not freeze and restart, it just recovers signal by itself and I can continue using the phone.
