Galaxy S6 :: Why Won't Screen Turn On After Being Left Idle For A Few Hours
Jul 21, 2015
For the past month, my galaxy S6 has been having problems. The screen won't turn on when I press the home or power button. Also when I plug it to its charger, the screen still won't turn on and the LED won't turn red as well. When this happens, I know for a fact that the phone is still turned on because the notification light blinks because of the received notification sometime during its idle time. Here's what I've tried so far:
- I am able to force reset the device by holding the power and volume down button until it restarts. I felt relieved that I am able to restart my phone when it happened the first time but pretty annoyed when it kept on happening.
- I tried clearing cache partition in recovery mode. At first I thought it worked but still...
-I already did a factory reset (twice) but right after the latest hard reset just 3 or 4 hours into it, still screen won't turn on.
- Earlier I thought that it was because of the notifications I was receiving while I was asleep (viber, facebook, sms) since when I woke up in the morning and the screen won't turn on, I had pending notifications. But recently, the screen won't turn on after being idle for a few hours without received notifications.
At first I thought it was a software issue but I'm starting to think that it might be a hardware issue. I'm planning to take it to Samsung in a few days if the problem won't go away. My device is not rooted by the way.
I recently got an x10 mini and am reasonably happy with it. However, sometimes I find the battery has been completely drained just from sitting in my locker at work for 8 hours. I haven't installed a lot of apps but something is draining it...
this morning when I woke up, I unplugged my active and it wouldn't turn on. The only thing that stayed on was the green light in the upper left hand side of the phone. I am new to android devices and am not sure what to do.
my Xperia mini pro turn off when the phone is idle for too long. when i wake up in the morning my phone is off.. i dont know why. when i on the phone using the power button it will not on instead i must remove and put back the battery again so that it will on again.and i also observe that the date and time of my phone reset.. what could be the possible solution for my phone?
I have the Samsung Galaxy S6 with Android 5.1.1. Clicking central icons so good, but if the left click-activate the right and vice versa, so it is with the keyboard.My phone will rotee, install the recovery and install a stoc-rom, which one does not remember why I did several tests to see which I liked more.
I have done everything known: factory reset of the two known forms, install multiple stoc-rom, firmwares of several countries, including return to the previous version of Android 5.0.1, which I see, can not go back. All this with the Odin program. Also with Samsung Smart Switch "Emergency Recovery and initialization software."
I had my phone on the fast charger and when i went to unplug it, i noticed a band of black, blue and pink had began to form in the upper left hand corner of my phone. I haven't had the samsung s6 long , so i am not sure what to do. At&t claims it is liquid damaged, but it has been in a otterbox case.
On at&t so no 5.1 yet. All of a sudden my battery plummets overnight. Went from 80% to 33% this morning. Nothing out of the ordinary in terms of app usage I can see. Battery has been on the ok side since launch can stretch to 24 hrs with 4 sot max. Also getting the camera issue when it launches and looks like surface of a lake periodically. Also, seems hotter when charging... Could this be a dud this far along? Bought on launch day...
I just got an S6 last week. So far I have tried almost all of the tweaks possible and still I find the idle drain a little too high for me.I disabled all google bloats except play service, store and gmail. Have fb, messenger, whatsapp. And have done the usual wifi search off, VoLTE disable, disable smart network switch etc. Also did a factory reset and cache wipe partition. I don't have high cell standby issue. However my battery drains at ~1.5% to 2% per hour idling with wifi. Just curious if this is the norm.
Also, my estimated battery life seem to show 14 hours at 100% charge. Even with power-saving, the estimate adds another 40minutes or so at most. I've seen some screenshots of people having ~18hours estimate. Is my battery defective?
I received my SGS2 yesterday and, as I have not had the chance to transfer all my data over as yet, I have left the phone on idle since it is first charge. I thought some idle battery usage data would be quite rare and potentially interesting to potential buyers.
after updating ICS and I had some problem bout the screen because after 20 seconds idle status then I pressing now the home or power button the screen become blank..efore u enter the lock screen u had to press power button 6 times or more than...I'm so dissappointed cause everytime I had a call I didn't see who are calling I had to press more than six times the power button to show the screen
So my phone s5 was updated to lollipop, I was just finished downloading 2 songs then i saw the screen turns yellowish. I thought it was nothing so i turn off my power after I tried to open up again it didn't. When I pressed the power key it shows a broken half white thing so fast and it disappear till now my phone won't open. I tried charge it but useless..
so i was at my friends house and i left my phone in the sun to long and when i came to get it, it would not turn on but when i got home i plugged it in the charger and it still will not turn on what should i do?
Info: iPhone 4, i got apple car but lost the papers
My Iphone 5 was on charge this morning for 4 hours. I tried turning it on this after noon and nothing happened! My on/off button has not worked for several months. I press and hold the home button and nothing happens!
I woke up this morning and my phone would not turn on. I left it charging overnight. I tried a different wall plug to see if that was the problem but it is not. I don't know what to do!
I've just recieved my bb curve 8520 and after it being on charge for over 4 hours, it will not turn on. The screen is showing the blackberry logo, with a bar underneath as if it was updating. the bar only reaches a certain point beofre it stops.Does anyone have any ideas about why this is and what I can do to turn it on??
A notification appeared to update my iphone5c. I pressed update and the phone went off with the apple logo and a loading bar underneath. It begun to load (10-15%) of the way and it stopped and has not moved for a number of hours. I am now unable to use my phone and don't know what to do! Â
I got my phone yesterday, and it was working for about 18 hours. All of a sudden I picked it up at work and it is no longer turning on. I tried plugging it into the charger, holding volume up + power, holding volume down plus power, but nothing worked. I called Google support and they are going to send a new phone, but this doesn't give me a lot of confidence in this phone.
Whenever im at the homescreen, and i tilt the phone to the left..it will start switching to another screen..when i do this in the browser/message or something the cursor will start moving which messes everything up..is there a problem with it or is this a setting?
I charge my 5s phone at night, and about halfway through the night my phone starts to vibrate to notify me that it is done charging which is great but it constantly wakes me up as it goes on all night. is there a setting I am missing to turn this off? my wife's 5s does not do this nor does my son's ...
My galaxy s6 screen will not turn on. my green led light is flashing but the screen is black. I've tried all of the steps to fix it, like holding all the buttons for an amount of seconds and yet nothing happened. I have not even had the phone for a month and it is very frustrating....
I bought a s6 always had samsungs .. it has no booklet and i think its in sleep mode ... its not letting me get to main settings and i have to double screen tap every letter ?
I've had my s6 for about 3 months now and this is the first problem that i have encountered. So i was using my s6 edge on the way to work and it was working fine as usual, got in and put my stuff in my locker and started work. When i had finished i went to use my phone and the screen stayed black but i have the blue LED blinking slowly so the phone must still have power.
I have tried holding the power button down for varying periods of time which done nothing also holding the power button home and volume down buttons done nothing. I have tried plugging The phone into the charger and the red LED indicating that it is charging does not turn on, it is the same result noi matter which phone charger i use or which socket i use. Also if i try plugging it directly into my pc it is not detected.
I just got my S6 today. When I plugged it in, the screen wouldn't turn off. After fiddling around a bit, I went into Developers Options, and turned off Stay Awake. However, now when charging, approximately every 10 seconds, the screen will come on, stay on for 10 seconds, turn off, and then 10 seconds later turn on again. I'm usually around my phone when I'm charging, and it's very annoying. Is there any way to turn it off?
So apparently I was using my phone and all of sudden it turned off, there was no turn off display (samsung thingy). This happened when my phone was charging and it was too hot.
I took the battery out my sim card and memory card and kept it there so it can cool down but it seems it won't turn on. When I put the battery and press the power button for some seconds the phone starts getting hot as if the phone is working but the screen won't turn on.
My Edge's screen will turn on when I get text messages but when I get emails, it just stays black. I'm using the stock email app and I just can't see why it stays off!
Am I missing something obvious - my wife's S5 turns on for both with no problems at all.
I have a GS6 stock for AT&T. Every time I get a notification, my screen lights up. When I had my HTC m9, the screen never woke up besides for calls. It's really annoying having the screen light up for any and all notifications.
