I have an LG Nitro and recently when i'm using it the screen will randomly turn completely blue then it'll shut down on it's own it did it about 2-3 times a day and now it does it more than 7 times a day then i'll turn it back on and it'll let me use it for a while more than it does the same thing i don't know what could possibly be wrong with it?
This could be a hardware problem, you can always try to flash the rom if you're rooted and have a custom recovery, if you're not. Just flash an official update from the LG site. And see how it goes, if it still happens then I'm sure you're device is messing up.

I have s-off, rooted, was using insertcoin...Just thought I'd install the Revolution ROM. Did the wipe and then installed ROM. EVerything seem to be fine and it rebooted. Then I reinstalled apps through titanium backup.
When I was using the phone to call...after a minute or so...it started to make this long tone sound and everything freezes. It seem to reboot...and back to working again. I thought it was due to some apps still being reinstalled?
In any case, when I made call again...again after a minute or so..it started making that same tone....and it turned off.
Now, it won't respond at all. I tried pulling out battery...no matter what I do...the phone will not turn on.
please help! Is this bricked? I pretty much followed all the steps. I selected stock kernel instead of custom when prompted.

Try to boot with adb.

Hi...I am trying to install the new SDK package...but I do have the older ADB and when I tried it..it first says ADB sever out of date...then started daemon...and attached list showed nothing?
When I plug the phone in...there's no response from the PC..it won't beep or show anything connected on USB!
I just tried to run adb after installing the latest sdk package. Running adb from the platform-tool directory...the device listed is empty....doesn't seem to be recognizing the phone!
Any other ideas? Is this completely bricked?
I wouldn't call it a brick per se, but this has happened to more Sensations than you may realize. Most people who've reported said they went to bed (phone on or off the charger) and when they wake up, it just won't turn on.
Honestly, I believe it's a random catastrophic hardware issue. I think some Sensations are faulty and have a lower temperature threshold or something, not sure, but what you described seems hardware related.
Edit: Just reread about that tone. A long tone? Although you were on a phone call so it's no guarantee, something like a long speaker tone or a screen spazzing out (I work in electronics) tend to mean something hardware related. Again, not 100% solid, but that's how it usually turns out.
Also, don't believe this happened because you flashed a different rom or something, there is just no way flashing a rom would kill a phone. If that were true, normal software updates or factory resetting could cause the same thing, and they simply don't.
Yes..it could be hardware related? The thing is, if it's bricked...I would think this wouldn't boot into the new ROM at all.. mine booted to the new ROM and I was able to restore all the apps...but all of a sudden while on the phone...I heard this long tone from the phone....then it just turned off.
The problem is, since this is rooted...doesn't it void waranty? Also, I am in Canada using a t-mobile phone I bought from the States...so I can't really bring it back to fix?
Wonder if I could get HTC to fix it?
It basically just died...battery was 100% when I was updating.
Any suggestion of what I should do?

take off the battery, SD card, SIM card and then put them back again.....try to press power+volume down (even power+volume up & down, all buttons) to see if you can log into the recovery...I don't know if this works but since your phone is almost dead, you won't lose anything to try any method...Do you think so?
If anything you have tried does not enable the phone to work normally again, please try to turn to some body who can check and repair the hardware of your phone for help...It could take a long time to send it back to HTC.....
Hope everything is going well with you.
Nothing works..I've tried taking out Battery..talked with HTC and they tried that with me too...but basically the phone is completely unresponsive. I am just wondering if it's a problem with the ROM or if it's a hardware thing. It seems strange it booted up ok and then had this long beep/tone thing.
There seem to be one other person posted in Q&A experiencing exactly the same thing...he was using revolution 6.6.3 and also had that sound and now it won't turn on!
I have talked to HTC and got a repair ticket...not sure if anyone locally can fix it...just wonder if HTC will have problems with it being rooted and all.
He was running ARHD 6.6.3?! I just downloaded it, now I'm weary to flash O.O
@newr
can you try one thing?
Remove battery ,sdcard, then connect the phone to power outlet using usb then try to power on the phone.?
If it doesn't turn on then remove the back shell too and try to power it on again?
sent from my blazing fast pyramid through sonic waves
Thanks for the suggestion. But again nothing happened. I've tried taking out SD, SIM, battery...with or without cover. Nothing turns the phone on...also no light when charging. It's like the phone is just dead?
There's one other post by someone on the forum that says his phone doesn't turn on..and it seem to happen the exact same way. He said he was running 6.6.3 and then all of a sudden a long beep/tone...then stuck..so turned it off and won't turn on again. Haven't seen any update / resolution there neither!
I am still not sure if it's a ROM problem or if it's a hardware problem. The thing is, the ROM did get installed and was rebooted...in fact, I used Titanium to reinstalled all the apps...unless restoring some data for things like bluetooth settings, desktop etc..causes it...which was fine when I restored it for InsertCoin...I don't understand how a ROM could cause a phone not to turn on at all?
I guess unless there are other ways to fix this..looks like it's sending back to HTC...hopefully they can't fix it neither and just send a different phone since if they turn it on and notice I have it rooted and S-On..they might just blame it on that!
Hey guys! I woke up this morning in a rush, tried to make a text and phone rebooted. Now it wont stop rebooting. I've managed to get it into recovery and flashed CM10 again and nothing. I managed to get it to stop for a bit, but almost every time I hit the sleep/wake button to lock the screen it turns off!!
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!
No eh?
Well it seems to be a hardware issue. Almost every time I lock the phone it wants to hard reboot. Sometimes when I'm in an app the power button menu shows up too. This is driving me insane.
Has anyone else had this issue!? I'm running cm10 so I guess my only option is to contact HTC?
Many questions u full wiped right? Have u tried flashing back to stock if that doesn't work have u tried ruu all of these should be done and if it persists after that than yes something janky is going on with your phone...did you mess with the CPU at all?
Why not try flashing another Rom and see if it still does it. Hope this helps in some way

I am using a galaxy note i717. I have issues with it. I have rooted this phone using odin. I have tried everything I know to make it work correctly. The problems are just horrible. The worst one is the phone call thing. Someone calls me, my phone starts ringing and completely locks up, I can't even see who it was that called. My phone will ring forever till I turn it off, completely locked up only option is power cycle. Worst part is it does not even show it as a missed call so I have no clue who called. Another thing is the phone needs to be reset at least a few times a day, as it is just laggy and slow I waited 10 seconds today for my call log to show up after I pressed the button. There are a few others but those are extremely anoying. My phone works fine till I load certain apps then it becomes bogged down. Defender of texel and Group Me are 2 apps that cause this problem. I have tried many things to fix it. I have tried many jelly bean custom roms. All of them have the same problem. I also did the samsung upgrade trick. The one where you unroot and put the phone to stock ics then have samsung upgrade it to jb then root it to a jb custom rom. I have 2 ideas of how to fix it. I can get ics custom roms to work flawlessly, I got a goldie rom already downloaded and ready to install. The other idea might come from an expert. I think it is some setting that is default turned on that needs turned off. I really don't know, I don't want to revert back to ics I like new technology and getting the most out of my devices. I am using black jelly right now, it is a good rom, it was just the last one I tried. The phone has no wings but was about to fly across the room so I gave up before I broke it. I need an expert that knows the tricks to make this phone work correctly. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey my power button is acting very weird even the slightest touch locks or unlocks the screen or even brings up the power menu. The button itself doesn't appear stuck and and it makes a click when I fully press it. Anyone know how to fix this?

This has happened to several people recently. Mine was still under warranty, verizon sent me replacement :laugh:
Mine was doing it on kitkat, in recovery, and on stock rom
Try this. Worked for me after a weekend of dealing with power button issues.
power button problems/Hardware failure?
so i think i got my phone around october of 2012 and i recently hate it! i loved it..i dropped and broke my first one..clumsy me..but it was innevitable..it worked great..then it was stolen got a replacement..phone i have now..i rooted it was careful about device specific blah blah and i had already fixed a hard brick im not stupid...but then my phone started acting super weird..the screen shut down when it tried working it would be dark green and fuzzy...a weekend later i pulled the sim and out it back in.. (for no reason) .. and my screen worked but my power button didnt work any more my screen wont stay asleep and my power menu continually pops up and it reboots (never completely)...like the power button would be jammed...any help idk if i can still get the root off and use triangle away cause my phone doesnt hardly stay working and when in C.W.M it selects random options usually reboot phone (first option)...is my warranty void will they replace my phone again even rooted...it is a hardware not software failure?
btw
using sch-i535 verizon galaxy s3, d2vzw, runnin pac-man jb 4.3.1 <----wasant when this first happened i restored a backup i was running cm 10.2 (jb 4.2.2)
i loved my galaxy s3 please help me love it again
I've had this problem as well but haven't found a solution yet, I'm going to try smashing it on a table like the above video suggests and see what happens
the weirdest part for me is when I odin back to stock the button works perfectly, like brand new, and then I clean flash any rom (4.2.x & 4.3) and it gradually starts messing up again, usually takes about 4-5 days for it to get to the point where I can't even boot to recovery/download.. luckily using the stock samsung cable allows me to enter and stay in download mode to odin back to stock.. rinse and repeat
LoL yeah here's the fix "smash your phone on the ground, but wait, if it doesn't work just do it harder"
That's the best thing I have ever seen.....
This has happened to me twice now.....I just take the button off and make a widget on my homescreen to lock the phone.... LoL LoL LoL this advice is too funny
"yeah dog just run over your phone wit a forklift, problems will be solved yo."

Thank you so much SlimSnoopOS for posting that video link. Worked perfectly.
Okay, So ive been banging my head against the wall for 2 days straight now with this problem so ive finally come to post about it to see if anybody has ANY idea how i can fix this. I have searched high and low for anyone who has come across this problem and i cant find another poor soul stuck in this predicament.
I have the D850, and have had it since last July. It was Bumped the day that it came out and ive been happily running roms on it since. I have honestly probably tried every ROM that was ever released for this phone, never had any issues.
I had flashed back to stock maybe a few weeks ago bc i had never done so, and after flashing a million roms i figured id try out straight stock for the first time in a year. SO i flashed the kitkat stock rom, and booted up everything was fine, then there was maybe 2 updates that i did OTA. I knew lollipop was out so i updated to that and all was well. I eventually got weary of straight stock quickly so i rooted and installed some of the fun stuff. Now this is where i noticed something i hadn't had before- when i would boot into TWRP i would get an unsecured boot error: error 1300- or at least i think that's what it said...Everything would flash fine and boot up so i didn't think much of it, but now that im having the issues im having, i think this is where it stems from.
Fast forward to 2 days ago- i figured i would flash back to 100% stock because i will be receiving my 6P next week and was going to donate this phone to my aunt bc i have taken such good care of it i figured id hand it down to a needy relative instead of get $20 bucks for it on ebay- All goes well i get the Blue screen with the 3 on it, pull battery and reboot. Everything seems normal..att logo...welcome screen..i go to touch the screen and its frozen. then reboots. weird. it does this a few more times, sometimes staying alive for up to 3 mins before freezing and rebooting again. Sometimes it even screams at me- no joke- it will freeze and make a high pitch screeching noise then shut down. scared the Sh*t out of me the first time it did it.
Ive tried everything people...i have downloaded fresh tot files/tried 5 different computers/fresh installs of flashtool/LG PC suit/hard reset/ran in safe mode/changed flash settings form upgrade to Board- to no avail. I honestly don't know how the phone hasn't died yet bc i think ive flashed the thing 30 times in the last 2 days from various computers. Remember- every time i flash in flash tool it passes, its only when it boots back up that it freezes/screams/reboots.
Sorry for the long winded post, but i wanted to give you some context. I'm going to try and mess around with it some more today but i keep getting closer and closer to throwing it off the wall bc this is frustrating. I think my problems would be solved if there was a lollipop tot file to flash, but i looked around and couldn't find anything. Thanks for reading everyone, any ideas are welcome. I'm out of warranty so ill try ANYTHING to fix this. At this point even if i FUBAR it i don't gaf bc its broken right now anyways. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks guys and i hope this never happens to you

If it's making noise and freezing after flashing, that sounds like an hardware issue. Since you've already tried reflashing it several times and it still does it nothing else can really be done. You can try selecting board_id in flash tool at the tot selection screen and try that.
Also I always gotten secure boot error when booting into twrp on my LG phones I've rooted and loaded twrp on them.

Yea man i tried that and it it boots into a screen that says DO NOT TOUCH SCREEN and then just continues to boot to that and i get a fail on the flash tool . thanks for your tutorial btw, thats what i used for all this troubleshooting. i found a thread about actually taking the phone apart and shorting it out and then trying to flash. i am going to give that a try if i cant get this f0cker to boot up correctly.
wait- did you mean select board DL?

When it continues to boot what happens? Flash tool is supposed to fail.. Once the phone is out of download mode flash tool will fail as its done and has no connection. Once flash tool hits 80/85% its done. Never heard of the LG phone and taking it apart to short it out. That would be something if you had a brick and the phone doesnt go into download mode.

Strange. But yeah once phone reboots it's done. Flash tool percent means nothing. But very strange.
