And doesn't turn on? This happens to me here and there. After it does the buzzes and doesn't actually turn the phone on, I have to wait a bit sometimes to try the power button again. And idea what the deal is?
It doesn't happen a lot (only a few times iirc) but it just happened to me today so I thought I would ask.
I dunno, that's weird. I remember getting in a weird boot cycle a few months ago that could only be cured by a hard reset. I can't remember what I did, but it was probably dumb. Is it just happening on one particular rom, or is it rom independent? Have you done anything dumb lately, lol? Do you have a bunch of apps running at startup? I guess that could cause problems.

I think I've had this happen if I soft reset and hold the volume up button (or maybe down). Then I have to wait a bit and it press the power button. No harm, but freaked me out when it happened.
haha nothing too dumb, and been using NRG roms for a while now (had it happen once on the 6.1 rom, and now on the 6.5 so take that as you will...)
I wonder if im hitting an extra button or something - thx for the idea brutel1
Don't know how often you receive messeges. But i have had this happen to me a few times n its been the result of a notification of some sort being received. i would get the normal 1 buz then a few others while the phone was booting up

Anybody had this yet? You can turn it off either by some suspend button or by pressing the power button, but it won't stay off. Give it a few seconds and it comes back to life. Mostly if there are movements though. Found out when I was putting it from the bed to the table and it went on...
anyone know how to stop this or what's causing it?
Mine did that for the first few hours and then just stopped. I did a hard reset but I can't remember if that was before or after the problem stopped. Sorry I can't be of more help.
oh ok cool then i prolly isn't something i installed. i also had hard reset and it went away, but then it came back. guess i'll sit tight and wait for a fix
does anybody else have this issue?
its starting to get really annoying
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..
I bought my Galaxy Tab GT-P6210 within the past month and have had no problems with it. I rooted and added cwm recovery based on this:

I then added basically the only ROM out for this tablet at the moment:

I have had zero problems with it and loved it, until tonight I went to use it and it would not turn on. 15 minutes before it had over 80% battery and worked fine. After plugging it in and letting it charge, it still doesn't turn on. Any suggestions??
Have your tried pressing power button for like about 15 secs? Sometimes it could be that its just a sleep of death and you need to reset it. But I assume you've already tried that though.
Are you talking about completely dark screen or halt at start-up screen?
Any possibilities in going into recovery mode or download mode?

I held it for 15 seconds and it worked, thanks! I guess I didnt hold it long enough before.
Do you know what causes this?

Its called the screen of death, SOD, and no known cause it just happens along with the random reboots. There are a couple of threads discussing each of these problems already.
I recently flashed CM9 (throwing that out there incase it is of some reasoning but I doubt it) and I've had my phone since November.
I flashed CM9 9/25 Nightly like 2 or 3 days ago (absolutely love it by the way, smoothest build/rom for the Skyrocket thus far) No problems with the Rom I might add, just my phone had just randomly restarted on its own twice while using it (nothing happened, just started right back up).
However the 3rd time, it randomly restarted and never booted back up. It vibrates and then reboots before it even gets to the Samsung screen and reboots/vibrates again (2 second intervals or so). The furthest it gets is like 5 seconds into the CM9 logo and then it'll reboot. It does the usual thin white line as it restarts and just gets stuck there. Can't get to Recovery for more than a few seconds before it reboots (not long enough for Touch to settle and do anything) and it won't get to Download Mode fast enough. Any ideas or any way to get data off /emmc? Don't want to lose a bunch of pictures/videos.
I have a replacement coming within the next days so I have about 2 weeks to either get lucky and get up long enough to save my data or somehow find a solution (doubt it). I already took it apart and swapped screens because I had busted the screen before and put the broken one in incase by some miracle the new one was causing it (no luck).
No water damage or anything to the phone, just randomly rebooted those times while texting or listening to music/what not and now it's pooped.
Any suggestions?
Tried without the battery (via usb/pc or AC source), without sim/microsd, etc. and nothing. Assuming I'm just SOL.
Edit: Side note, I got terrible battery life with this phone. I could only get 2 hours of screen-on time if I was LUCKY on Mobile and maaaybe 3 if I was on WIFI. The most I ever got was 5 hours on WIFI with a 3850mAh Extended Battrey (so even though it was a cheap battery, I'm thinking the phone had a problem from the get-go).
You Could Have A Stuck Power Button. To Fix That Try To Repeatedly Keep Pushing The Power Button Hard To Try To Unstick It. or try taking it apart and clean the power button

This was my first thought, didn't make a difference no matter how I did it. Appreciate the idea though.
[SOLVED] It is indeed the power button.
I took it apart again and thoroughly mashed the power button plenty and gave it a good few breaths of fresh air.
After that I realized that, I put it back together and realized that if I held the power button right after the phone vibrated it seemed to get to the CM9 symbol more often.
So I mashed the power button a ton more, shook the phone like hell and smashed it against my palm a few times and...it booted! I was able to get everything off of it and reset flash/counter/restore to stock all without ever touching the power button. Screen Timeout @ 30 and using ADB is your friend. Now just to see if it magically works till my replacement gets here lol.

i know its sounds too simplistic as to blame a sticky power button and users dismiss the idea because they'll blame themselves, a bad flash, or the rom, but a reboot at a 8-10sec interval is the power button internal switch making contact, sometimes its an easy fix or sometimes it takes more than a few tries, or taking it apart to clean the internals
My phone goes anywhere now from 10 seconds to a full day without having a reboot with continuous vibration at 2 second intervals. Flashed to stable ROM's so that's definitely not the issue. I've had this phone since Christmas 2011 so I'm assuming I don't have warranty? You guys just unscrewed the screws and got into the internals I'm assuming?
So I was in class just on Google chrome and when i went to turn my phone on from its sleep state to look up something else it was off. I figured it was probably a random shut down because i know nexus 5's have random restarts that is awaiting a fix in 4.4.3.....so basically my phone shut off in class on its own and wont turn back on. even when i threw it on a charger nothing happened. Anything i can do besides bring it to a store? Im NOT rooted by the way..
Thanks.

the n5 doesnt have a reboot problem. its some apps that people install that cause random reboots, as well as some dirty hacks. anyways, i bet it never powered off but experienced a sod instead. press and hold your power button for about 20-25 seconds. itll reboot or power down. of it powers down, press the power button to turn it back on.
Thanks...i thought i read the nexus 5 rebooted al ot randomly but i guess you would probably know more than myself....and i guess holding it for 20 seconds worked! thanks. kinda weird how it all happened and didn't think holding it 3 to 4 times the normal required amount would fix it

it was a sod then, "sleep of death". its when it goes to sleep and wont wake unless rebooted. some poorly written apps, undervolting, or randomness can cause it. no matter what, holding your power button down for 20 seconds will force your phone to reboot(its a safety, like a battery pull. because our phones battery isnt removable)
its probably bricked because of a app
