Galaxy S6 :: Won't Wake Up - Need To Reset The Device
Jul 16, 2015
Starting yesterday, my GS6 wont "wake up". This has happened twice now. I have only had the phone a week and haven't done anything to it, root, etc. The only way I can get it back is to press Power, Home Key and Volume Down at the same time to reset the device...not factory reset, but reset as in Power Down and restart.
I just tested my new Samsung S5 and an alarm I set did not work with the phone turned off. This is disappointing as it's a feature mobile phones have had for 30 years. Is there a secret handshake or setting I don't know about?
I installed the lollipop update and now get constant "unfortunately, the system UI has failed. This happens for a variety of reasons and has rendered my phone pretty much useless for anything other than making a phone call. Most of the other accessories, apps and program either only have limited functionality or are unstable and shut down.
So, What is the best method/process to reset my phone to pre-5.0 and/or to reinstall 5.0
I have purchased a 2nd hand Samsung galaxy s5 online. it wont et me access the phone as it is locked due to an abnormal factory reset and is requesting a Samsung account id and log in - clearly I don't have one and it appears it needs to be the previous owners. Is there a way around this in order to access the phone?
Dropped my s5 and now the screen doesn't work. Got a new s5 through insurance. Is there a way to reset the device to factory settings, since I can't view the screen?
I have updated my moto x from KK to LP. All is fine and snappy etc, but I'm not sure if I have turned anything off, because waving my hand over the screen doesn't seem to do anything any more? It was working fine. I have been playing around with the settings to get the phone to my liking - I may of accidentally turned something off, I'm not sure.
I updated my blackberry software overnight on my device (curve 9330) and when I woke up in the morning there was a constant white screen with a little diagram and 561 error message underneath. I followed the instructions to update the device software on my desktop and had the latest version (6.1.0.35).The device does not connect to the PC at all and a battery reset on the device did not help.It is frozen with the white 561 error message screen.
My S5 used to show info when I waved my hand over the black screen, now nothing. I have tried looking for the air wake button, but it is not where I have read it should be. I do I turn this back on????
I got my GS5 last week, and I'm loving it, but it have one issue that bugging me. This issue don't happen often (only 3 times since I've got it), when I put my phone to sleep, and wake it back on, the two soft buttons on the bottom of the screen (back and multi-tasking button) lit up, but the screen does not, I have to force to take out the battery and put it back in, turn the phone back on then it would work.
I did called the store i got it from, but they don't have any more s5 in stock , and Samsung won't replace mine (what kind of customer service is this?), the store I got it from said they have to see the issue with their own eyes to be able to exchange me a new one, IF there will be any new S5 coming in for the next week or so.
my screen won't lit up upon waking the phone but the 2 buttons on the bottom of the screen lit up normally.
I will have my S5 freeze up and go black after trying to wake it up. My interface and messaging also feels very laggy at times where I pretty much have to wait for it to respond. I had the S view case on when it was freezing so I've removed that but it didn't work. Do you think i should just return this back to AT&T to try and get this replaced?
Problem Description I was in a middle of a workout with the MOTOACTV. It was connected wirelessly to my heart rate monitor. During the workout the UI became high latency and almost completely unresponsive. It would take 3 4 presses to the Power Key to get the device to wake up. When device did wake up, the CapTouch UI would not accept any swipe or touch gestures. I finally was able to power the device down hoping for a graceful reset. However I was concerned that I was never going to get to the point of getting to the power down screen. seen this issue on other Android devices and know that there are times when a battery pull is needed due to a deadlock or a process gone haywire.
When the watch is switched on, the "wake up device" function works fine. However,after the watch has been on for a certain period the "wake up device" function doesn't work. Has anyone come across such issue?
I have a feeling after rooting the device, it gets battery drained from SSP wake lock. Device deepsleeps 50% and 50% awake because of that SSP wake lock.
There is no information about what and why. I disabled all motion features, deleted shealth. Turned off Location services.
The same happened to another S6 from a friend, and a S6 edge. All 3 devices have ssp wake lock problem.
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.
I've found several times that my phone would wake in the middle of the night, which is rather annoying. I turned off notifications for any app that seemed to wake the phone, and I usually put the phone in "Do Not Disturb" mode at night. Now, the only thing that wakes it is when the battery becomes fully charged. How to stop the phone from doing this? I use the phone as my clock/alarm, so I don't want to turn the phone off. Since many people probably charge their phones next to their beds at night, this seems like a particularly dumb feature.
I use a wireless charging dock in my car along with connecting my phone via bluetooth to the entertainment system. I've encountered an annoying issue when playing media.. here's the simplest way I can put my scenario:
1. Place phone on wireless charger and starting playing music 2. Phone becomes 100% charged and emits a screen wake + notification noise telling me so 3. Wireless charging stops because the phone is fully charged 4. With music playing, the battery drains to less than 100%, which engages the wireless charging 5. Repeat from step 2
This loop happens over and over endlessly. The charged notification makes an audible noise like every 3-4 minutes which is super annoying while I'm listening to music.
Is there a way for me to disable the audible noise that occurs when I place my phone on a charger or when the phone becomes fully charged? Is there a way to keep the wireless charging "active" so my charge doesn't dip while on the dock?
Where on phone is magnetic sensor for wake/sleep? Have been trying to google this with no luck - I got one of those wallet cases, however it doesn't seem to have the built in magnet to wake/sleep phone (I thought it did), I was thinking of putting a little fridge magnet in one of the card slots maybe?
I noticed today that sometimes when i press the home button to wake the phone it doesnt react...when i press it again it works normally....this happened to me two times...
I have a blackberry bold 9780, it turns on, shows that it is locked but I can't use any of the buttons to unlock it, the scroll key doesn't do anything either, I've tried taking the battery out and it just starts up again and the same thing happens. I have tried the hard reset method and nothing happens. Any know how i can reset it or wipe it completely or anything?
Got the Torch, paid for the BIS with my carrier... and now I can't register at the BIS site (mts.blackberry.com). My carrier says that apparently someone has already used my IMEI and PIN on that site, and they can't help me with that. They suggested I write to Blackberry support and request them to change my device PIN.
JVM Error 545 that will not allow me to reset the device? I have removed the battery and tried to reset several times and it comes back to the screen with the error message and reset button.
When I use Quick Pull to reset my Curve 8330, once the reset is complete, a window pops up stating some security tests have failed and that the radio (phone signal) is turned off. When I click details, there is a long list of codes, and the only thing unchecked is ECDSA. Any thoughts on what this might be?
Every time that I restart my device (battery pull) I lost my service books, so I always receive the "registration" message and the service books are downloaded over again. This makes that some applications (like facebook or twitter) donīt start automatically because I need to enter again my credentials. I there any way that my device doesnīt erase the service books every time that I reset it? I tried restoring the service books from the desktop manager and setting the SB Legacy Mode without success.Iīm using the OS 5.0.0.1015.
