Hi all,
My phone is rooted and running the engineer rom that was made popular in the Verizon forums. (Yes, I'm running the AT&T version). Ive been using the rooted phone for close to 2 weeks now, without any hiccups.
I was browsing reddit with reddit Sync, and then the app crashed on me. Everytime I tried to force close, and start up, it would come up as a white screen. Finally I decided to restart the phone. Hold down power button, press the restart button, and it shuts down. I see the Custom lock, then a quick Samsung flash, then I see the AT&T globe spinning. It does three spins the freezes.
Up until this part, everything is normal. Usually from here it takes anywhere between 30-60 seconds for my phone to come back to the lock screen. Except its not been sitting at the AT&T globe for almost 10 minutes.
Things I've tried:
Letting battery die, trying to restart it
Holding volume down + power for hard reset
I don't believe I took any security updates, and I was running PF2
Neither have worked. Any ideas?

So I've had my fuze a little over a year now, no major issues. Used mostly energyroms, but about December time I switched back to a simple non-bloated stock rom for the stability.
Anyway today at work I was texting, and I press the power button to put the phone in standby. And the screen remains on and usable. I tried again and it would not go into standby (power button physically feels normal, it does not feel loose or abnormal.) So i let it sit for a few minutes, then i look at it and a message poped up asking if i wanted to turn the phone off (like as if i was holding the power button)so i press no, then it comes up again a few seconds later and aagain and again. So I soft reset the phone.
The phone resets but takes a LOT longer at the att/htc splashscreen, then it hangs at the htc screen and does not make it to the wimo screen, but instead an error screen saying:
"The device is unable to boot because you have either turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an applicationa from an untrusted source, press SEND to reset your device or press any other button to cancel..."
I think it went through the hard reset this time because when it restarted it asked to calibrate the screen and install stuff. it resets again sometime after that, still takes forever at the splash screen and comes back up to the error, only this time no matter what button i press it wont go away and boot into wimo. It seems like none of my buttons work (they wont light up now) when i slide out the keyboard, it is not lit up like normally.
And heres the kicker, my only way to turn on/off the phone is to take out/put in the battery. As soon as I pop the battery back in the fuze turns on. Is my phone toast? Ive tried to hard reset and the phone does not reach the bootloader, it goes straight to the splash screen. Same with trying to reflash it from my comp, raphealwrapper cannot find my phone.
I've only recently encountered the exact same problem on my Touch Pro, but stock ROM and everything. As far as I can tell, our power buttons are busted and probably need to be serviced. One of the contacts must be stuck in the 'on' position somewhere inside :\ As a temporary fix, I've been using AEButton Plus and remapped double tap end call key to turn the screen off, and removing the stylus to turn it on.
I did a search but no solutions came up.
Basically, when I touch the screen to move the little lock icon over to unlock it nothing happens.
I powered it off by holding power for 10 seconds and then powered it on again.
No bueno, nothing happened.
Anyone else run into this and was able to solve it?
yes, i had the same problem, you will not like this..
do one step at the time and check if it works, if not continue to the next one
1. cold reboot (hold power button for 30-60 seconds),
you can try step 1 several times
2. turn it off, let it charge for 2-3 hours, turn it on
3. reboot to safe mode (this not really sure how i did it..lol.. i think is, turn off and turn on and quickly hold both volume keys until it boots up, if you did it correctly it will boot and say "safe mode" at the bottom left corner).
4. reset to factory settings, hold volume (-) and power key at the same time, (this will erase everything)
when i had this problem, i actually had to cold rebooted several times and reboot into safe mode after step 4 to have the touchscreen working again..I was about this close () to give up and return it to walmart..
I had the same thing happen to me, and all the rebooting in the world couldn't fix it. I don't know if you're still on stock rom or not, but what I did was reflashed the Prime rom and it worked again.
Nothing helped, even hard wipe.
Returned the TF.
I had this same problem... Unfortunately the only thing that worked was letting the power drain out. That was a huge pain because the Transformer has a killer battery and there are only so many times you can turn the screen on and off to drain it. It took about 4-5 days to fully drain. After that point I had upgraded to 3.1 and it has worked flawlessly since then... definitely a firmware problem not hardware.
In the search box - have tried locked, locked out and freezing but still not seeing an answer for me.
Basically, for the first time yesterday, my unit just froze. I went to power down fully and it started to shut down but it just froze and the only way out was to let the battery run down.
As anyone else had this and is there a way around, like a reset button or set of keys.. I was just totally unable to unlock the unit, nothing seem to work, be it docked or undocked.. it staid with the unit illuminated and took a few hours to run down and switch off.. Upon reboot, everything seem fine but it was a right pain..
The unit runs standard rom, nothing has been upgraded or flashed/rooted..
Cheers..
Have you tried to hold down the power button for approx. 10 seconds? another solution would be a factory reset...
Hello
I have a 32gb nexus 5. I had cataclysm rom 5.1 installed.
Sometime a couple of weeks ago, my nexus 5 would randomly start shutting off. As in the screen would turn off, and would not turn on using the power button. Even if i put it on charge, it would not turn on. I had to press and hold the power+volume up button to restart the phone. Used to usually work.
Then slowly and slowly, it became difficult to restart the phone using the "volume up+power" button. I probably had to do the combination 5-10 times and it would then turn on from the google screen. My recent apps still running in the background. Sometimes it used to optimize all the apps again.
I discovered it USUALLY restarting when I do something processor heavy (i.e. put more load on the processsor like gaming/connecting to HSDPA and browsing etc). I transferred my sim card to a different phone, undervolted and underclocked the processor and used it on airplane mode on wifi, and it rarely restarted(once or twice over a week). I can also almost always reproduce the "hang and shut down" by putting a sim card and and browsing specially on mobile data
I plan on giving away this phone but I dont know what the issue is. There is no reliable service center near me.
Any idea what the problem could be? From what I gathered, it could be a battery issue?
I have tried flashing factory images and reverting back to lollipop, both of which do not work unfortunately
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I've had this Moto G3 for just over 6 months now and have had no problems with it until very recently. Basically, I was trying to add a new Google account to the phone earlier, but after entering my PIN to access the Google screen, the phone froze, and I had to force reboot. Startup took slightly longer, but then the phone switched on.
Two hours later, I picked up the phone and pressed the power button. Nothing. I pressed and held, for about 12 seconds. Nothing. I unplugged and replugged the charger. Nothing. I put the phone down and went on my laptop, and suddenly, my lockscreen appeared.
It then did the same thing later. What's happening? It can't be the charger, or the battery. I've never rooted or modified the system things on the phone, it's close to stock Marshmallow. Any help?
Have you tried a hard reset through recovery mode?
