Can anyone help? While I'm talking, my screen is on. Sometimes if I moved the phone around my face, it turns off, but then it comes back on. Obviously it's draining my battery and I keep pressing mute etc with my face. Thanks in advance!!

Have you always had the issue, or did it just now appear? My first Inspire had a broken sensor, so the phone was replaced within 1 day of ownership.

It seems like it happened about 6 months ago. But, I installed leeDroid, then I installed that app to adjust the sensitivity, and it works! I can actually use my phone like a phone again!

Hi,
first, i tried finding a solution in your forum, and couldn't find anything helpful.
My G3 shuts down by itself once or twice a day. I can start it up when pushing the "start" button. its like a normal start up.
First i thought it had something to do with being outside, maybe the cold, but just today it happend while it was inside laying on the table. I never really saw it happen, but i think that it occures when the screen is off, its not happening while using.
I tried flashing it with kyrillos, but it still occured. (i have a cpu app, so that shouldn't be the problem)
Does anybody have an idea what might cause this?
I can't risk not getting woken up by the alarm clock because its happened again!
Thanks

Is it an immediate shut down without an message showing that its shutting down? If it is then mayb you can fold a piece of small paper and put it in between your battery and battery cover as your battery may be loose.

Thanks for your answer!
I never saw a message. It always happens when the screen is off, the screen just stays off, but i cant geht it on. then i have to restart it.
I tried putting paper in between but i can't say that it helped.

Is your battery older?
Check it if it's bend even a slight...
This may cause immediate shut downs
You know how to check it!!?!
If this is true, go for a new one...
sounds like a SOD issue, which ROM are using? Also what are your cpu settings?
Hi all. Since updating to 2.3.5 my screen randomly lights up. The phone will be just sitting on the table, next to bed etc and the screen will light up for a few seconds and the turn off.
Not been on a stock ROM in a while, but I do remember hearing about this problem when the update rolled out. Just can’t remember if the problem was solved. Had a quick search and no joy. I'll keep looking. I have a theory though...
I had this problem once, and it was down to an app and the WiFi sleep policy. The WiFi sleep policy was set to ’15 minutes’ so the app was occasionally forcing a wake-lock to stop the WiFi from shutting off. This would also cause the screen to come on briefly. Could it be something like that? Sorry I can’t remember what the app was. Try leaving WiFi off and see if that stops it. If not successful try leaving auto-sync off. It will at least rule out or confirm something trying to force a wake-lock to sync something.
Edit: Does this do it only when on charge? Try opening up Car Dock Mode, and turning off 'Auto Launch'.

I noticed this too, but only on a Sense 3.5 ROM...Endymion (because, frankly, i didn't care much about any other Sense ROM to stay on it long enough to notice anything) ...but for me, the screen only lit up like a camera flash, just for a fraction of a second! not for a couple of seonds as you have experienced. Been on ICS betas, and RCs and currently on Reaper, but this issue never repeated itself. So far, this has happened to me only on a Sense 3.5 ROM...and my setup, sync frequency, installed apps hardly ever varies from ROM to ROM...I'm pretty consistent about how i like to use my phone.
And frankly, even when this was happening, i didn't bother much because it wasn't affecting performance or battery life... Sense is quirky, to say the least, but i've learnt to tolerate it like you would a sexy girlfriend. If it's sexy enough, it can get away with anything!!
I had this issue on the stock 2.3.3 ROM.

I had the same issue but just one time few minutes after i pluged my phone .
Same here with MIUI... Just for a 1/10 of a second...

I get this on ICS (virtuos quattro) when screen is off and charging, like half a second on and off again...
i've had this issue with pretty much every ROM, actually had it since i've had the phone. The phone lights up for a quick second. Enough for you to realise when your eyes are closed. i don't pay much attention to it anymore. But i don't think mine lasts seconds like yours. Mine was just a blank screen flashing

I acquired an Ispire from a friend that was dropped in water in the past. The water sensor on the battery is perfect but the one on the mobo is red. It will vibrate on occasion but no LED's come on when plugged up and I can't get my laptop to recognize it.
Is it a lost cause or do you guys think it may have potential since I can get it to vibrate sometimes?
Any and all help is appreciated

Does it turn on at all? If its not turning on at all then its a lost cause. Have you tried pulling the battery for a few seconds and then entering hboot.

Doesn't turn on at all. It will vibrate after I pull battery but only once usually and no leds or anything come on.

Sounds like something fried. Can you boot it without the sd card in. If not then I'd say its toast. It probably needs a new main board. Especially since it has water damage.

My infuse is randomly turning off (not bootlooping). No particular time of the day. It is not critical but very annoying. Almost evertime I need the phone quickly, it appears off.
Currently running [ROM] 4.2.2 - Jellybean - AoCP 5.6 - The Collective - Final and it appears fine. I am also using an extended battery and though the case back was loose, so I checked that and put in a small wad of piece of paper as a filler to pack the battery in a little more and also cleaned all the terminal connections between battery and phone.
Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue and what to do to correct it?
yes i think its a pretty normal issue for a Infuse. Mine was doing that when i was running Froyo. Now it just reboots.

Reboot is the power button issue (most of the time). This one likes to turn off. Since I padded the case with a little wad of paper, no turn offs but I suspect, now that I said it, it will start turning off again...LOL.
I've had issues with the phone mysteriously turning off ever since running JB. Maybe ICS too. I don't recall ever having an issue with 2.2.
We have five infuses in my family....3 on Froyo and two on GB. I am the designated troubleshooter. (geek)
We have occasional reboot, often during heavy use. I'm not sure I've ever seem them turn off...if it has happened, it's not often.

Its the power button. Lots of people have the issue. What I recommend is upgrading to a rom (Beanstalk for example) and in the settings have the volume buttons also turn on the screen and then download a remapper that you can change the power button

You sure about that? wouldn't power button issues making the phone restart rather than simply turn off?
I guess if the power button did not work at all and simply was non-responsive the phone could be on and you'd never know it for sure, but at least in my case I know I've missed phone calls when it's off so i dont think that is the case.
I don't think it is the power button issue. It randomly turned off, it did not just reboot. Since I added a piece if paper between back and battery, it has only turned off once. Prior to that it was turning off a couple of times a day.

Alright guys, I had a conversation in Ax's "Run ROMs on different Carriers" thread, but I really want to get to the bottom of my issue, whether it be a hardware issue, ROM related, OR user related.
I've been having an issue with my phone the past few days. Started out it would read "invalid sim, need to reboot" or something along that. Anyways this was after flashing a nightly and I figured, OK, it's a nightly i'll live with it. Eventually my phone just started to power off/reboot all by itself; not real consistent but it was happening more than I would like. Today, the S*&% really hit the fan. I flashed a nightly Wednesday night(i'm not going to say which one, because i'm not sure if it was from the ROM itself or if this was a hardware issue). Anyways, Friday at about noon or so, I open a game to play on my lunch break, I get distracted so I lock my phone to attend to something else. I go back to my phone and it is powered off, now totally unresponsive to anything. I pull battery and try to restart, when I place the battery back in the phone it automatically reboots(WITHOUT ANY BUTTON PRESS) I thought to myself ok this is kind of weird. I try rebooting by using power+vol up...absolutely nothing, it's just a brick. Well, I pull the battery again, hold vol up thinking it will go into recovery...nope, it will boot for a sec or two, just enough to get the blue lettering on the top left of the screen then shuts off again. OK, let's put this b*&*h into download mode and see what happens. it goes into DL mode, all the way to the point of where it says " do not turn target off" then shuts down. I did both of these multiple times, with different batteries as well, plugged in and not. It won't stay on for a computer to recognize it. Someone suggested a stuck power button, I don't think so; it feels the same as it always has.
I was fortunate enough to be able to get another S4 with a busted screen so I switched out motherboards. I have a working phone again...which is all I was worried about. I've flashed quite a few ROMs, I follow procedure to the T when flashing... What do you guys think...hardware issue...user issue...ROM issue? I'm very curious to know because I don't want this happening again, obviously. I would even send the phone out to someone to play with(mind you, the screen doesn't work and the silver bezel is crappy because I just used my original one).
I would say stay away from whatever ROM you flashed. This could also be a hardware issue. I had my old note just randomly shut off on me and was unresponsive as well. Finally got it to boot and reset it. But in your case I would stay away from that ROM and maybe find something more stable. So as this is unknown to what happened I would not blame either. Sorry to hear about your bad experience.

Im saying nothing for sure, but a stuck power button feels just like normal. I had this issue on two separate samsung phones (they are known for this issue). I thought it was just bs, but i decided to tear it down and check. I used a q-tip and everclear and got plenty in there, wiggled and pressed the button for around five minutes. Re assembled, put the battery in and sure enough, the problem was gone. You cant always feel the button sticking. But hey, if you are offering the remains up, ill take em! I would gladly pay $200 for a replacement screen for it to test on.

Someone beat you to it, Rebel, sorry...just took the first poster or PM that I got. I got the message overnight otherwise I would have posted in here.
I kinda played with the power button when it was tore down, however I didn't use any alcohol on it but that is a good idea.

Edit: Used some IPA on the power button this morning, soaked it pretty well, pressed the button many many times with varying pressure, with a hard pointy object etc. etc., jiggled side to side, tried every option I could to get it unstuck (if that's what it is) and still doing the exact same thing.
