Turn on Tab without power button - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey All.
I searched but couldn't find a solution to my question. Is there a script, mod, or whatever that I can download to my tablet will power up when it get plugged in or charge up enough to power on? Like when the battery is completely drain and it will not power up, I want my tablet to turn on by itself when it is charged enough to do so.
Thanks in an advance.

I doubt you will find such thing.
It is the task of the bootloader to do that.
And no one write bootloader for our tab other than Samsung.
Think of it as the BIOS for your computer motherboard. If you want your pc to turn on like that, your bios has to have the feature.

[Q] soft brick? or hard brick? can you tell me

hey i just got a question. i had flashed serendipity VII and my battery ran out all the way.left my phone on my desk and my nephew was playing with it and got the phone in download mode, the phone had some battery enough i guess to get into download mode but then the battery drained all the way while in download mode. Now i cant charge my phone,keeps rebooting into the screeen that shows that the battery is charging but it dosent charge just reboots into the same screeen. not able to get into download mode or recovery with any button combos. is this a soft brick that can be able to be fixed with a new battery and download mode jig sold by mobiletechvideos? Or is this a hard brick only able to be fixed with JTAG?

Well if it turns on it isn't hard bricked. I would try taking out sim and then charge. You might try to plug into computer and see if it charges but if it is bootlooping try and getting battery charged then get into download mode with adb.

Hi,
This wouldn't be referred to as a hard brick. There are actually several situations in which JTAG is a needed alternative despite not having a hard brick (usb port problems not allowing a flash, a phone won't go into download mode at all, severe partition bricking). In your scenario, leezrd has good advice. If you still can't get it, buy a new battery or borrow a buddies and get it turned back in to verify it's fine with a good battery.

Also, a JIG is always a good thing to have on the side.

.So you can get it to battery screen? By the way I don't think batteries come pre charged so gonna be in same situation. If you know someone with galaxy s phone charge from their phone and switch batteries to your phone.

Not to insult your intelligence but gingerbread download mode is volume down and power or volume down and usb. And recovery is volume up and power.
So if you can get in recovery you might be able to delete battery stats then try plugging in to are if charges.

Contatct at&t tell them your battery will not hold a charge at all, I've heard they ship you out a new battery with very little hassle.

[Q] Is my T849 dead?

I have a T849 which I updated a long time ago to 2.3.3 using Team Overcome 4.0.0 build.
Yesterday, when turning it off I accidentally clicked on "Download" putting it into download mode!
So, I just left it like that hoping it would sort itself out.
I made sure to leave it plugged in.
Now it won't come on.
Is it dead or can I save it?
Don't know why you didn't just reboot after that accidental download mode.
By leaving it like that you have drained the battery without the kernel help to shut down when battery low.
This is Li Ion battery, it is bad to drain it like that.
Now just try to charge it for 8hrs.
If still bad, you may need new battery.

I tried to but it wouldn't do anything.
The power button simply did nothing.
I left it plugged into the power so it shouldn't have discharged.
I've plugged it in again but the charge light hasn't come on and it has not indicted that it is charging.
I'll leave it plugged in and pray.
I don't think it charges in download mode anyway even if it is plugged to charger.
Unplug and hold power for 10 seconds to ensure shutdown.
Then charge.
Worst case just buy tri-blade screwdriver from ebay and a new battery (for P1000, if you search for T849 it may be in vain).
Probably less than $50

Seems to have worked!
It is now charging so hopefully I'll be able to use it again in the morning.

[Q] Bricked Phone? Phone wont turn on

Hi Xda members..i need some help here..
i was using ARHD 11 and bulletproof kernel..
the phone is fine yesterday and i could even play games with it..
but when i woke up to charge the phone i notice the phone is not responding and its off..
i tried charging it and phone Led is blinking..
the phone wont boot even i tried volume down + power
i tried to use the bright light method but it doesnt work too..
So right now how can i boot into booloader?
Sounds like a you drained your battery completely, I think HTC kernels are coded to turn off a 2-3%. It's not good practice to let you battery discharge all the way, try to plug it in around 15%. You will need to return your phone to stock and return it. Remember When FASTBOOT is ticked in your settings you phone is still awake when you power off. There for draining your battery. So when your untick fastboot.

OB left in sun..doesn't stay powered on

Hello.
I've left my phone in the hot sun for some time and it's not working anymore. When I try to power it on, the LG logo appears and screen+buttons flash continnously as if it's struggling to start but can't. *this is on battery, not plugged it.
When I plug it in charger It powers up, everything is working but it eventually reboots by itself. Sometimes it stays on 3 seconds, other times 2-3 mins, then reboots.
I've tryed wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, reinstall ROM, wipe battery stats..nothing works.
So basically if I plug out the charger it instantly shuts down and starts trying to power up in a continnous loop.
Is the battery dead?
Thanks
I think so... You could try another battery but it is possible that you may have fried some guts as well. Was it on when you cooked it in the sun?

It boots when I power it on charger, but if I try to make a phone call or 'stress' the phone, it reboots. Without charger it does not boot.

Already tried a different battery? Its quite cheap and I guess some power cells might have died and that would explain the malfunction, when you "stress" the phone and it needs more power. Maybe it is able to deal with low power, but high output simply takes it down.

I didn't buy a battery yet because I can't find one. I'm on vacation (Italy) and at the local phone service they told me they don't know this phone and asked me where it's from :laugh:. and if I want a battery they have to order it and it takes time.
That's why I came here, hoping for a nice "custom" solution for the problem.
I think the battery does not know how to charge anymore, anyone knows a good clean wipe/format for the battery? besides discharge it complety and wipe stats.(because I cannot discharge it, when it's plugged in it says 100% and if I plug out the charger it dies)
thanks for the replies mates.

[Q] Phone wont turn on

Hello, i have one question
Now I came from my job and I use my phone about few minutes and then the phone turns off. Can someone tell me what can be problem?
Cant go in recovery or download mode?
Are you rooted? If yes, which root method did you use? Custom ROM installed? Any apps installed that are not from Google play? Are you sure the battery is good? Do you see/hear anything when trying to power on? Any and all details would help.

This sounds rather stupid, but some users have reported that turning off the feature "Allow apps to scan WiFi in background" solves the problem. I honestly have no idea what that has to do with it but give that a try. If not you can just do a factory reset from the menu.
@edessa : no, i am not rooted. all is official. All apps are from Google Play and I use the same like on my previous phone (Galaxy S2). About battery - today I go in shop and I will try to see if is problem in battery. Strongly hope that the problem is in the battery.
I dont see or hear anything when I try to power on. There is only black screen, without samsung logo or vibration on power on.
I would get a new battery. Sounds like your battery is dead. In some Android devices, not sure about the N3 if you let the battery completely die then even if you connect it to a charger it will not power up. If it cannot power up then it cannot charge either. The phone has to actually start in order to charge the battery as the charger is a smart charger.
I tried with new batteries and phone still not turn on. And now I send it to repair

You phone can run without a battery just using the USB cord. Sending it in for repair is probably the best option at this point
