Galaxy Tab Frozen, Camera LED Keeps Blinking - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I got a galaxy tab 10.1, wifi only version there a few Weeks back. First thing I did was update to 3.2.
It had been going fine until this morning, I was browsing the internet on dolphin hd and the screen went black, the tab looks to have frozen. I've tried holding power button, and power + volume down button with no luck.
The weird thing is every time I hold the power button down the camera led starts flashing every second or 2 as if it was taking pictures. Other than that there's no response at all from it. The camera led also blinks when it it plugged in so I've plugged it into my ps3 to keep the led blinking until the tab runs out of battery in the hope that it'll start up fine again afterwards. Anyone else have any idea what to do?

Anybody seen this before? Or have an idea of how long this will take to run out of battery even?

It randomly came on there now. I had it plugged in for a while then the screen came up that it was charging, then I turned it on with the power button and the samsung logo etc all came up, then went black. it's off again now. no response at all from the tab now, no camera flashes or anything

Im having this same issue, have you found a solution to this yet? Worked fine last night left it charging all night now i just get the camera led flashing every 2 second when i press the power button

Unit powers off but wont come back on (Have to soft reset?)

Hey Guys,
Using 2.06 SE ROM, 1.18 Radio and whatever extended rom you like (even a blank extended rom), whenever I press the power button on my device, or if it turns itself off after the default 3 minutes, it wont turn back on!
It turns off, the green light keeps blinking every few seconds...but when I press the power button the screen stays black and the green light stops blinking. I have to soft reset the device to turn it back on.
Strangly enough if someone rings the phone it will wake itself up.
It doesnt exibit this problem when in the cradle.
Regards,
Jez.
Hi! i have this same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13789
i hope this weekend correct it.
Hmm...this is so weird.
Ive just taken everything out of the extended rom, and hard reset. The problem went away (i can power off/on fine, with or without cradle. I can now leave the device for 3 minutes so it powers itself off, then power it back on with no problems).
I then put all the cab files back in 1 at a time until my extended rom was identical to before (when I had the problem)...and guess what...still no problem. I dont get it...

[Q] amaze doesn't boot! Please help!

Last night my phone was working fine. This morning I awoke late for my day because my alarm clock didn't go off, looked at my phone to figure out why and all I saw was a blank screen. Playing with the power button I am able to get it to a mode where the orange charging light turns on and the softkeys seem to respond (they provide haptic feedback at least). The backlight stays off, but I can tilt the phone around and see a cyan line stretching the width of the screen and I can manuever it up and and down using the volume keys. There are 10 items in this menu it seems since on the 11th click of the volume button the line jumps to the top of the page.
Can anyone help me? I've tried taking out the battery for 10+sec, I've tried removing supplemental hardware (sd/sim cards), I've tried on and off charger.
EDIT: It would seem the key is to loose all hope of it working, but continue to press the power button in desperation and after about 40+ attempts at power at this point it might turn on. I'm officially terrified I am going to wake up without my phone at any given day now =[
Rooted? Stock? Recovery? Rom?

[Q] My Tablet Screen Is Blank.

Suddenly my tab is not responding , I tried to press ON/OFF button but the screen does not respond. The screen is blank and nothing comes out. I tried to plug the charger and no respond. I never or change anything since I brought the tab. I tried to google also but I cant find the solution. Is there any solution? My tab cannot turn on and the screen is blank and nothing to appear. It's like my tablet running out the battery but I plug the charger still no respond..

Can you try holding Power button for a about 10 seconds or more, release it and try turning it on again normally?

Samsung galaxy s6 dark screen cannot reboot cannot turn on doesn't receive call

Hi Everyone,

After few hours I disconnect my phone from charger but it still had the solid green light and the screen was dark no button was working, but I still had internet in my laptop. I tried pressing volumn down+powerkey for minutes but nothing happend. I just heard some beeps.I also tried volumn up + power key + home button still nothing happend and then I tried pressing all four buttons still nothing happened. I just lost internet in my laptop. I connected it to charger and tried all above but no luck. I disconnect it again and after few hours, green light went off and I tried pressing those buttons again but still no luck. I downloaded ADB, but adb devices shows no device. My phone doesn't ring when I call myself. Please help!

Screen blinking when powering the screen

My Tab S7 plus is behaving strangely in last few days. When my battery is over I think 25-30%, or when the tablet is connected to a charger, and when I press the power button (or double tap to wake) the screen blinks for a millisecond, it is also happening when you restart or power on the device, the screen blinks twice before the Samsung splash screen appears. But the strange thing is that it does not happen when the battery is below 25-30%, neither when powering or restarting the device or waking the device.
Is anyone else facing the similar problem? I tried to format the data, but the issue is still there. Thnx
Mine does that too, but I was only able to use for about an hour so ,I haven't had time to figure it out yet
