My galaxy note recently the sometimes flickers and once it does it turns off, and when i try to turn it back on same thing happens, and always after a few tries to turn on the phone it works normally, its not always flickering but once it does its a nuisance as it the whole device is unusable and im unable to turn the device on as it freezes and shuts down again.
I do not believe its a rom issue because its happened on two different roms, asylum rom and PA ICS.
has anyone else suffered from this, and is there any solution to this?
regards,

yes there are a lot of them with the similar issue if you read, its asking you to replace the battery.
Agree, had the same behaviour so I replaced my old battery with a new one all issues are gone.

Hi all. For some reason, my phone shuts down only when its screen is off. If I keep the display on or if it's plugged in, it'll stay on... Any ideas anyone? Help much appreciated.

Im hearing this alot from my gf who says this happens or that it just powers down altogether...
1-4 times a day. I have no answers yet...

well, thanks for replying. I just asked for warranty exchange. Seems other people had the problem too. Just didn't have time to hunt then.
My first captivate had that same problem. It seemed to be random and occur after the phone goes into standby mode, I would try and bring up the lock screen and it wouldn't appear and I would have to power the phone back on. Didn't happen for the first month or so that I had it, then it started happening as much as 10-15 times a day. May have occurred more often in areas with bad reception. Tried several different ROM's including stock with no apps or addons and still happened. I ended up swapping it out for a new one, and my new one has yet to do it, seems like there's no other option.
Hi
I am new to Android world. So please handle with care
I used to use an iPhone. Recently (bout 3 weeks ago) I bought a galaxy note and am loving it.
I was going through a lot about Android system and found out 'rooting a phone'.
so I rooted the note and installed Rocket rom v22, GoLauncher Ex and few apps like Setcpu, Adfree, Bank, Xchange etc. I don't have games or many apps on my phone.
My phone turns itself off randomly every now and then. during phone conversation it rebooted itself once so far. and when my phone is stand-by, I found my phone is turned off.
I am not sure why it's happening. Is there any settings i shouldn't set?? or ???
Could anyone please tell me how to fix this issue?
If the phone is faulty, I need to make my phone as the same as when I first got which I am not sure how to :-( yet
The first thing to do is go completely stock. Flash the lastest stock rom and see if that fixes the problem.
When using ICS ROMs there's a known bug called Sleep of Death (SOD) that is similar to what you're experiencing. The phone simply won't turn on the screen and you have to press the power button for several seconds to turn it on again.
Almost all GNote users experience this issue so don't worry about it. Going back to stock will not solve the problem.
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Before the rom v22, I had v19. my phone still did turn itself off several times. after flash the room v22, it didn't happen as many as v19 so I am not sure that the ICS causes the issue.
anyway, I will try the one you suggested and see how I go.
Thank you

I am more worried about the alarm. if the phone turns itself off while i am in sleep, i won't be able to hear the alarm going off.
well if that happens again, i might have to get a alarm clock.
i was thinking of setcpu app might cause the issue... not sure though.
Thanks for your help
I experience the same issue when i was running stock. I've tried several stock versions but the problem still exists.

I have definitely never ever experience SOD when the phone is stock and lock.
The only time i did experience SOD is when i change to modded kernel.
I'm running stock with cf root and have never ever experienced this, so not all notes are affected. That would really suck!

Never had Sleep of Death on stock rom.
I am on stock ICS Rom n it has happenedwith me twice.
My GNote goes dead randomly and only starts up after pulling out battery.
Weird!
Install an ICS from Clean
Start from a Stock ICS rom using PC Odin, then follow my Post as follow :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26772618&postcount=12
Try another rom other than that you had, or a higher versionof it.
The MIDTEAM v1.4.2 is Good and Stable.
Good Luck
I had this problem most of ICS ROMs on my Galaxy Note. SO I guess it's an ICS related bug and it is very uncomfortable to have to reset it to unlock it .
I too have tried several Stock ROMs but it still gets into the Sleep of Death at least once a day.
I guess that it should help to have a Kernel that changes the Deep Sleep settings...
Of my 2 GNotes, one of them had this problem. Happens when you put the note on the table with small drop or whatsoever.
The problem disappeared when inserted 3-fold 80g paper between battery and the edge of battery compartment. The battery tolerance is not so tight so when small drop (like putting on the windowsill) happens, the phone shut down.
The problem completely disappeared after inserting paper.
Of course, more professional would be go to Samsung repairs and show it and ask for replacement - either battery or phone internal casing. You can reproduce the problem by turning the screen on and dropping phone 10cm into hard surface.
But I did not bother.
I won't say that yours has exactly the same problem. But check the tolerances of battery 1st. Sometimes solutions are too obvious to see 'em.
I upgraded from stock to CM9 3 days ago and my Note has turned off several times a day since then. Never before upgrade, so I don't think it has to do with battery being loose in its compartment - not in my case.
I am loving ICS, but I will have to downgrade to gingerbread to get rid of this irritating bug.
this is happening to my galaxy nexus!!! yeah it turns off at random like sleep of death and small drops can trigger it. if i knew this could happen i would have never rooted
lol root itself has nothing to do with it.
if small drops cause it, and paper adding in compartment fixes it. its the gap between battery and whatever should fixate it.
if it occurs during deep sleep, dig into logs what you can find there. Also check roms/kernels feedback if others have it with that version. Many ways to illiminate possibilities.
I miss some good analyzes in this is issue from those experiencing stuff. Android I guess is not user friendly that way.

Galaxy Note Sleep of Death on 4.1.2 JB
I'm still trying to figure this out... I had hoped that with Samsung Stock upgrade to 4.1.2 it would be fixed but its not... anybody still experiencing this problem?
Things that I have tried
Move all apps from Internal SD Card (USB) and format
Factory Reset
Paper wedge between battery
Opened and re-connected all connectors to Motherboard
Install CPUSpy (deep sleep is OK)
I'm at wits end now, and this problem is very apparent. I havn't wanted to flash to a custom rom, because I've seen reported that it still happens with whatever ROM whether stock or custom
Any more ideas on how to make the Sleep of Death go away?

Turning off problem too
I don't know if it is exactly the same problem, but my GNote keeps turning off every time, but not seem to be randomly. Looks like ti shut down every time a high performance is required. I tested several roms, ICS and JB, custom and stock, but the problem still goes on.
Please, any ideas?
Hi Guys,
I have a serious problem with my Inc S. Lately, after using a few apps (mainly on the bus) the phone will go to the lock screen. A this point when the power button to wake the phone, it will just hang. The backlights will still be on but the phone is unresponsive. I have pull the battery out for 10-15 mins before it will restart. This issue happens at least 2-3 times a day. I can see no reason why this would happen. I have tried a factory reset but nothing works. Any help to resolve would be greatly appreciated.

Telling us your issue is fine. However, we need more information such as your bootloader status as well as what ROM you are currently on (if you are of course)
I have unlocked the bootloader, cwm recovery, but still running stock Rom. Haven't flashed a new Rom as yet. The phone seems to get quite hot, too. I think overheating may be the problem as it won't turn on for 15 - 30 mins after battery has been pulled out, which suggests the phone would need that time to cool? Dunno, just a thought.

Overheating is most likely your culprit. But its pretty difficult to pull the phone to about 50 degrees you really should watch whats running in your background and what applications you are running. Overheating may damage your phone and I assume you probably won't want that.
Would flashing a new Rom help? Never done it before.

Ok, so when the screen blacks out, I can still receive sms. I have turned the screen time out to "never" (as it seems to only lock up when it goes to sleep mode), but it still blacks out after say 1/2 hour and screen becomes unresponsive. Have to pull battery out for a while. Is this a hardware issue rather than a software issue?
This still an ongoing issue, and driving me nuts. When ever the phone goes to the lock screen or after a phonecall, it wont come back on. The touch still works (can play music, etc by touching screen from memory) but the screen wont show anything. Have flashed cm7.2, done wipes, etc with no luck. Any help?

Ok now that is not an overheating issue. That's probably a ROM issue or a kernel issue. I would suggest switching ROMs, maybe CyanVivoX or CyanVivo10.1 if AOSP is your thing. If not then maybe SVHD, Nik Project X Rebirth, or ViperVivo for Sense 4.1 (or Blackout or ARHD if you want Sense 3.6). Happy flashing
After a month of stuffing around and flashing my phone with different tons, I am still having the same problem. The only solution I have found is to install a wakelock app from the playstore, which isn't ideal as the screen stays on, drains battery and everything gets activated when the phone is in my pocket (mates are sick of getting phantom calls from me). The phone is no longer in warranty so I don't wanna take it to a tech.... There has to be a solution. Any further help woyl be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I've been using the stable version of CM 10.1.3 since Christmas and have experienced no issues whatsoever, it's worked flawlessly...until today. I woke up this morning to find my phone charging as I had left it, but the hardware lights were turned on. Thinking it was odd, I turned the screen on then off again and the lights turned back off as they should. When I came back after breakfast however, they were on again! This has been happening all day; I'd check my phone and find that the lights had turned on. I can't seem to find any pattern (like always 2 minutes after screen off) and it doesn't even happen all the time - I left it for half an hour and they didn't turn on, but the next time I turned off the screen they turned on again after a few minutes.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and, if so, how did you fix it? I haven't yet done a factory reset as I was hoping someone else would have a good fix that doesn't mean I have to reconfigure everything.
I've also noted signal dropping a lot today, but after turning the phone off and reinserting the SIM card it seems to be back for good (well, an hour at least). Could this be related?
Any help would be great

This was really strange. The day after making this post I did a factory reset, which didn't help so I flashed a 4.4.2 Vanir Nightly. After a while this issue developed again on there, so I decided to change to official CM 11. The issue continued for an afternoon, but overnight it fixed itself - I haven't dropped signal or had the light issue for a few days now. I'd still like to know what the issue was though in case it happens again! Here's hoping yours fixes itself too
Hey guys, I've been having some issues with my RP2 since fresh out of the box. Randomly, my phone screen will not turn on and will stay black. The phone itself isn't shutting down, as when I attempt to turn on the screen, I can feel the haptic feedback from an attempt to unlock via fingerprint.
It's really touch and go, sometimes its good for a day or two, sometimes it'll do this two or three times a day. A hard reset (Pwr+Vol Up) gets it back running again, but it's getting really annoying and interfering heavily with just everyday use.
Anyone else having the same issue? Anything I've read around the web hasn't helped or isn't pertinent. This happens on complete stock and running Arter97's kernel, so I'm left to believe it's a hardware issue (please no) or a ROM issue, i.e. Razer did a crap job.
Any thoughts? Thank you in advance!
