When power on the phone, the screen will turn to white, and getting brighter, and the phone freezes. it can't even pass the flash screen some time, some time it happens during getting the system. some time I can make it to work, but when I hang up a call, the screen will turn to white, and getting brighter and freezes. I found out especially when the phone is charging, the more chance it will happen.
It's the hardware or software problem?

I tried a few times and took the battery out, wait a while, and then put battery back, it worked. Anyway, I want to find out what the problem is, maybe It will happen again.
I reflashed the room, everything seems fine now.

Sometimes when I grab the phone out of my pocket and I press the power key to enable the screen, I discover that it is off :S. When I press the reset button it will start again, but it seems strange to me. You guys have a suggestion of what it could be?
Hmm, this sound familiar...
I've just posted re battery life and my phone waking up all by itself, but now I come to think of it I've seen this happen as well - or my phone just soft reset itself randomly occasionally.
I wonder if they are related problems...

When I press the normal power it won't start up, so it isn't totally shut down though. Only a reset will do it. Very annoying.

Mine has started and shutting
NOT powering up with the power key or
the soft reset. I literally have to
pop the battery out and back in to start
up the phone. ???
If your phone is randomly turning off...yet it turns back on...your battery may be reaching its end. How long have you had the phone? My dash used to tend to do this when it was reaching the end of its battery life...it wouldn't just...run down. I noticed a decrease in battery life, but the moment the phone needed heavy usage (internet, messaging) the battery couldn't dish out enough power and it'd just turn off...this would even happen in my pocket if enough calls or texts came through...then when I'd go to check, it'd be off.
It's not that, I'm assuming, it's the phone. I just bought a new HTC Touch Pro 2 Days ago, and it does the same thing. It randomly shuts down, and it even overheats, and I have 3 batteries for the phone because I use my phone extensively. Sad thing is, this phone was to be more powerful then my 6800 and so far, it's failing.
Well, then I'm assuming its time for a replacement, lol. I've had mine for a while now, never had that issue. Never had that issue with any phone except my Dash when the battery took a dump.
My phone is 2.5 weeks old. I would hope they battery wasn't dying already, but who knows. The keyboard quit today and the screen has been acting funny too. Like when it goes into "sleep mode" the screen fades but you can still see the buttons to unlock the phone and the buttons on the bottom are all lit up and won't turn off.
The screen is incredibly wiggly too... This happened after I took my phone to a local sprint store. They put the phone casing on it to show me what it would look like and then the guy yanked it off my phone.
I am starting to wonder if some of this is not related to that.
So, since the keyboard died today.. Asurion is sending me another replacement phone... Guess we will see.
I think my problem has something to do with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3748976#post3748976
I recently have found that this happens to me whenever I turn the feature where it disconnects from EDGE when my device goes to sleep. However, when I turn that off and let EDGE continue to be on while my phone is in sleep I don't get this problem anymore. I have it checking my email every 5 minutes if that makes any difference.
alright dudes and dudettes.
i have the same issues more often than i would like.
it powers itself off and the only thing i cna do is soft reset. also sometimes when i wake the phone up, my plasma theme is distorted it still slides across but everything distorts and i cannot access any progs.
it is an annoying issue.
any fixes ideasm, help would be top. thanks..
Hey I have a sensation 4g. All has been well until today. I was at work and got an email. Went to check it but the screen wouldnt turn on. This has happend several times since using Viper rom, which is why I switched to energy. I pulled the battery and went to turn it back on.
Since than all I get out of it is a brief lighting of the screen followed by a boot vibration. After that the screen stays off and it "boot vibrates" at regular intervals never displaying anything. Attempts to get into the boot loader for recovery are met with the same.
If I plug a charger into it the charge indicater lights for about 15 seconds than turns off. Occasionally I can see a red light in the upper left hand corner.
I have used a htc g2 battery held against the pins as a known good battery so I have eliminated my battery as bad.
It is rooted, was running ICS Energy rom.
adb does not detect the device nor does linux or windows, but thats not too unusual since it technically doesnt turn on.
I am assuming that the thing is totally dead for whatever reason, but on the off chance someone has any ideas Im all ears, I love this phone.

Maybe it was a hardware failure. how many times does it vibrate? there is something called qualcomm diagnostic mode that htc phones sometimes get happens when the hboot gets corrputed/damaged. depending how many vibrations you get some people have had luck attempting to blind boot a pc58img.zip to the bootloader to flash a ruu. but since your phone isnt being recognised by the pc as anything i wouldnt hold out to much hope how many vibes do you get?
You might be in diag mode, as heavy_metal_man said.
Does QHSUSB_DLOAD come up in Device Manager?
neither windows nor linux recognize the device at all.
as far as the vibration. I call it a boot vibration, as it is the same intensity and duration of the normal boot vibrate you get on power up.
Its a single vibration of about one second. After that every about 30 seconds it vibrates again.
I did try to shove a P58IMG.zip onto the sd card but I figured that was a long shot anyway and of course nothing happened.
Just out of curiosity have you tired another battery? I know you did check it but one time I was charging my device with a perfectly good battery, it wasn't low, and my device made a weird noise like a high pitch noise then went black. I had no charging light, no life what so ever. I thought I was completely screwed thinking something fried my device. Out of desperation I put another fully charged battery in. Then my device sprang back to life and I haven't had any trouble since. I never figured out what happened. But I was so Glad it worked. So just for curiosity do try another battery. It can't hurt to try it. In my weird case it worked. Like I said earlier the weird part was my battery was good! Not dead! So it won't hurt to just try. You have nothing to lose. I do hope it helps. Good luck and best wishes!

sadly I have no other battery, I have a g2 battery that I can hold in as a substitute but still the same result. I will try to throw that img back on the sd card and see if I can blind install it.
Appreciate the help guys.
I've had the TF101 since it was first released in the USA. I haven't really used it much but lately I found a niche use for the tablet. The problem is most of the time it's really hard to turn the screen on. Almost every press to the power button will turn the screen on for about half a second and then it turns off. Then I have to wait about 5 sec before I can turn the screen on again but most of the time it will just repeat the same process. This is really frustuating. It appears this is less frequent if the tablet is laying flat instead of being held in hand, but I usually need to try it around 5 times before the screen will stay on.
The second problem is the screen will sometimes randomly turn off. Most of the time the screen will stay on for hours when I use it. Sometimes though, it will just turn off and then I'm met with the first problem. This is a sudden shutoff with no warning. Other times the right side of the screen will glow really bright before turning off. It appears to happen more frequently when I'm moving the tablet.
I'm using a rooted stock ICS rom. I'm pretty sure this is a hardware problem. Has anyone encountered this before? Is this something I can fix myself?
Thanks
I had the same prob many times. For me it was doing it real bad before i rooted. It is likely nothing serious. Could your lower frequency be too low? Try Katkiss. its very fast.
oddly the screen went off to the left a few mins ago. i never had that before but everything is back to normal it seems
I just flashed KatKiss 4.2 rom unto my TF101. Problem persists. At least the tablet is fast enough to be usable now.
I had this same problem...
It turns out that one of the kids had dropped the tablet and it bent the frame enough that it was putting pressure on the power button.
Yea sounds like the power button is either getting stuck, or it is faulty
Hey all,
I have a very odd problem with my old P500 I am trying to get running again. Almost all the time the phone wont turn on. I have tried removing the battery and leaving it, plugging it in both with and without the battery, trying various different reset combos with and without power or battery in the phone, nothing will work. Usually. Then sometimes the phone just turns on. When it does work, its great. All until you turn it off again. As soon as you turn it off, its a guarantee it's not coming back on for a while again.
I cant seem to work out any rhyme or reason as to what will let it turn on either. I have had it turn on sometimes on a charger with no battery, sometimes charger and battery, and sometimes just on battery without a charger. Like I mentioned, when it works and will turn on everything works exactly as expected. I can't find anything software-wise that seems to indicate it wouldn't load. Just most of the time (upwards of 95% of the time or so?) it won't turn on at all. Hard reset combos etc have no effect on the phone, and it won't pull up on a computer in this state either. I bought another battery recently and tried that, as I had previously had a poor battery life from it, but that turned out to have no effect on the booting issue. The most recent time I was able to boot the phone I left it on and charging for a few hours and it finished completely charging the new battery, but on turning it off it wouldn't come on again as usual.
I am suspecting a hardware problem with the phone internally, although I am not really sure. Anyone else have any clue as to what I might try? If it is hardware-based, does anyone have a suggestion as to what part might cause it not to boot?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have TMO Nexus 5, 2.5 yrs old. Suddenly, my phone shuts down with more than have battery charge remaining. I cannot do anything by pressing any buttons. it is dead. If I connect to the charger, phone goes on the loop. The google sign appears on the screen, then it goes dark in a second or 2, then sign appears again, and so on. I can access the bootloader menu but only for a second. Then the phone goes off again. I cannot even properly turn it off, even when press power/volume up/down keys together. It just will not shut off.
Happened a few times before, but I was able to revive it by charging 3-4 hours and eventually it stopped looping. This time, no luck. Between the episodes like this, it worked just fine. Stock, never rooted, latest android 6.01.
Bad battery or something else? I did order the battery and will try to swap it, but would like to know if this could be anything else.
Normally, I would try to simply remove the battery and then put it back, but this battery is a little trickier to remove. I do not want to do this until I decide the battery needs to be changed.
Thanks very much.
