Random shutdown, Screen of Death?

---

Has anyone else came across the screen of death (random shutdown when idle and requires long pressing power to turn back on) with their Galaxy Tab 7+? I have this problem everyday and it seems like other Samsung phones had similiar problems like this one.

Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this? Supposively it may be a problem with the Wifi or reading the SD card when idle.

I Did a factory rest and haven't had one in two Weeks.

I did a factory reset last night and still have the same problem. Did you do a factory reset under "Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset"?

Didn't change a thing for me.

I occasionally get reboots, I can hear the sound when its in my pocket. Likely due to set cpu. My min is 500. I hear its related to on demand setting. I may uninstall if it persists.

the SOD issues is a known issue on some units.
While some units have it very frequently others don't.

The one i got from Fry's (and returned) had it.
The 3G version one i got from ipmart.com doesn't have it.

It seems like it may have something to do with the SD card reading. I removed mine and haven't had a problem since.

I take that back, just got SoD again. I'm really considering exchanging this for another one

No I did mine from recovery. Power and the volume button closest to power. Select factory reset. I believe they are slightly different, but I am not positive of that. If that doesn't help, I'd return it if possible and get a different one. Here in the states most return periods have been extended Into January. Good luck.

Another thing you can try is using Odin to flash the retail ROM for the 6210 that is posted in the development section. I have had to do that several times trying to get cwm sorted, that may have fixed it. That's a good way of reloading the code, because I did get the sod several time prior to my first brick. After reloading the code, I forgot the problem even existed. Again good luck

I have had two Tab 7+ from Amazon. Both had the SOD problem. I returned both and now I will either wait until there is a fix from Samsung or will look for another tab.

I got them 2-3 times per day on my first unit...I exchanged it once Best Buy got another in stock and haven't had any issues at all. So yeah...if you're getting the SODs, exchange it if you can.
