about a week ago, I flashed CivZ-SpherEngine-REV2.0 kernel on top of stock (Indonesia) rooted 4.2.2 N5100, and it's nice. but since then, my note 8 always turn on by itself (from completely power off to on) after few hours since I shut down it.
this is so weird. nobody touch it and it can turn on by itself, from off. :confused:
is it related to this kernel? or anything else? please help. :eek:

Mine too. I don't know how long it has been doing this but it explains why it ALWAYS seems to be on. On my 5110 Im running CivZ Flexbeam ROM 3.6.2 with the included spehere extreme kernel. Did changing kernels clear up the issue for you?

The device does power on when USB charging is plugged in. But it is not a full startup, just the basic function of charging and data connect.

As for starting up from being off without any USB connect or disconnect would be a hardware issue. Possible from lack of flushing cache and formatting partition before a new modded firmware is installed. As the hardware function to power on / off may be setting a false detect to power on or off.

If it works proper with OEM firmware the issue is how you flashed or the flashed firmware used. Also another issue is restoring from backup. System data and settings may effect custom firmware when restoring.
