this has been going on for a few months now, when i try to shut the phone down completely it just reboots itself. the only way to get it to turn completely off is by pulling the battery and leaving it out. as soon as i put the battery back in the phone it autoboots up. at first i thought this was a CM7 issue but in the past 2 days ive tested leedroids rom, honeysenceHD, and a few others and the phone still acts the same. its never been an issue but i would love to be able to turn the phone completely off if i ever needed to. someone suggested that its possible my bootloader is corrupted. is there any way to fix this issue?
This is a problem with the Advanced Power Manger, search for the fix.

ok well can someone point me in the direction to fix this problem.....search finds NOTHING for a fix
what apps do you have installed can you list them? They can sometimes cause problems...
Make sure "Fast boot" is UNchecked under Settings, Power.
i dont see a POWER sub menu in settings nor can i find Fast Boot.
apps are as follows
everything that comes stock with CM7
Battery Calibrator
Beautiful Widgets
COveroid
Dev Tools
DSPManager
FasterFix
Linpack
Quickboot- just to see if it would turn the phone off and it doesnt
setCPU but not using it currently
Spare Parts
thats about it a few of those apps i think are part of CM7 but im not sure
Look for fastboot in settings, applications.

theres nothing in applications that allows me to turn on or off FASTBOOT
ok so i was told theres no FASTBOOT option in CM7 so anyone else out there have any clue as to why my phone will not turn off and stay turned off when i power it down?

Well at this point, if you think that continuing to try other roms other than what you've already flashed won't help, you might just try flashing a completely stock image, with the stock hboot/recovery, etc., and see if indeed something went haywire with your bootloader, as you mentioned someone had suggested to you.
Try the RUU in the stickied thread, for example. The recent OTA ROM by Attn1 has the hboot removed from it so I don't think that would be a good choice for this attempt, because you want to get the stock bootloader back.
Now, I can't speak to the validity of that suggestion about the possible corrupt bootloader... I don't know either way whether or not that could be the cause, but if you wanted to at least try it, then my suggestion above would be the way to do it, I would think.
There would be no reason for it to continue to behave like this on a completely stock ROM, other than there being something defective with the phone itself.
It's a clockworkmod issue with daylight savings time. Change your date from automatic to a date before the time change (I just go to Jan) and your phone will shut off and stay off.
"Change your date from automatic to a date before the time change (I just go to Jan) and your phone will shut off and stay off. "
i dont really understand what you mean by change it to a date/time before the time change. i turned off the auto time but dont see where your talking about with setting the date change
I wasn't going to try to help cause I didn't like yer tone. You could say please and thank you for peeps time..

Not sure if anyone has run into this yet, if so please share the fix. When selecting "power off" my Inspire 4G just reboots. I can no longer turn off my device. Thanks in advance for the help.
Download quick reboot from the market for now

I stopped reading. But a search is easy on the thread. Google is your friend....
big ups for the useless reply but thanks anyways....CHEERS
oh and there was no tone, but whatever mr internet coolguy THUMBSUP to you. i wouldnt have made this thread if i didnt already search to see if anyone else has had this problem, and it seems noone else has. when the phone was flashed back to stock the problem stopped and as soon as i re-rooted it the problem started again

I just linked a guy with the same issue .. Yes its on another rom, but its the same issue....
Download the app....does it work? Problem solved if it does? Or don't.. i could not care less, my phone works normally......
it was a rom issue but guess u didnt read the thread to see that, that app is just another way to reboot your phone, i appreciate the effort but ive tried it many times and it boots/reboots the phone in the same manor the phone boots itself

so yeah you had a good point scott. i went ahead and got the phone all back to stock and problem solved, but its not what i want sadly. so i re-rooted the phone and immediately after the re-root i went to turn it off and there it goes again turning itself back on =(

So you have re-flashed to stock and the issue went away.
What rom are you flashing after root?
Did you check the MD5sum of the rom?
Have you tried a second rom?
Try just flashing to a stock rom like TCP;

Edit, just read yer above post... None this is going to help. Lol
i havent tried flashing anything, i flashed it back to stock, rebooted worked fine. So i decided to just reroot it. its stil STOCK atm just rooted. its obvious that its a software issue id just love to know what and how to fix it.
When you're flashing to a new rom are you clearing all of your data every time? If not you might want to give it a shot when you try to flash to another rom.
I have some graphic errors on the transparent notification bar.
This problim exists with different wallpapers and only while bar is transparent.
My phone is stock, no root.
Is there anyone with the same problem and know how to fix?
thats weird...
have you tried to see if the problem is still there after using a different scene / skin ?
if it is. Put back the stock wallpaper, and if it still doesnt fix it. try a factory reset.
has it always been like this ? or did it just happen out of the blue ?
It is still there with other scenes/profiles and with stock wallpaper.
I have this problem since first boot.
try a factory reset, if that doesnt fix it send it back
or root it and flash a different rom
Thanks! I will try to reset.
it seems to me its just a bug in the ROM or at least in the theme part of the ROM, providing there are no other issues with the phone i doubt it can be hardware related. So a wipe or a new ROM should fix it...
thats if you want to flash a new ROM ? Surely your into development and stuff because here you are.... on XDA lol
I will wait with unlocking until it is clear that there are no other problems with my phone, so i can send it back with warranty.
Hard resetting or flashing RUU will not solve this problem, I've tried it.
I have found more strange graphic errors in themes and background menue.
Can someone check this on his phone?
I will find out if it stands in context to the notification bar problem.
that looks like a damaged screen Is it only there on that particular app. or is it there all the time, even on homescreen..
have you checked for updates under settings ??
you could either root and flash a new ROM, or send it back and get a replacement.. i would send it back. because if it comes back after modding the device. They may not replace it.
Hello All,
I recently attempted to flash JediMindTrickJB6 ( and got stuck on the "Jedi" load page with about 98% blue bar)....anyway
I then just wiped and restored my "working Jedi Jelly V6 and now when someone calls I dont see Contact Pics or Numbers or anything...
PLEASE HELP!!!!
If it means anything, I was also playing with Xsposed Framework Add Ons and tried the full screen Contact thing but have since deleted it. Do I need to do any further deleting or complete removal of Framework to get this back?
Thank you all!!!!!!
I would attempt to reinstall the rom,let it settle awhile and play with it,get it where you want it,then back it up and start the customizing process,but do them one at a time and then reboot after each mod,until you get it where you want it,at least then you'll know what caused the issue,if you get one.Follow the directions closely and read some of the comments in the thread,get an idea,of whats going on and see if anyone else is having the same issue.
Diablo67...
Thats exactly what I did. One by one on the mods. Got it. Thanks

Hello, first of all I need to mention that; Recently, I've installed Lockscreen from Playstore, ZUI Lockscreen or something like this, and since this, my lockscreen is broken.
So I just flashed XOSP Rom (no dirty flash) and also latest Open GApps but I have a big problem, when I set lockscreen setting to "Swipe" I don't have any lockscreen, but when I set PIN or anything else, it works.. I've tried other ROM/Gapps I still have this problem.
Tried to wipe everything and reinstall, no luck.
Could anyone help me please ?
Thanks !
Maybe flash back to stock and start over? Not sure why but a complete flash back to stock, including the userdata.img file will solve the issue.
That's what I did some hours after my post, it's fixed now. That was really weird. I didn't wanted to do that but now it's done !
Anyway, thank for the reply.
Hi
Recently I've unlocked my Z5's bootloader and rooted it.
I installed Paranoid android from the thread in the forum, everything was working fine, even the fingerprint sensor was working quite ok.
after a day I wanted to switch the locking option. so i wouldn't use the fingerprint, and only swipe to unlock the phone.
After i changed the settings the app crashed (it changed successfully to swipe instead of using fingerprint)
Now the result is that every time I try to change this specific setting (Screen Lock) the app asks me for my pin, I type it and the settings app crash.
I tried to restart, Clean cheche and uninstalling some google apps. nothing helps
Thank you for the help! :angel:

So obviously it happened because I am no longer stock, But as my experience goes, I know people may have stumbled upon the same problem in their past, and maybe know a solution that will work for me.
I do not want to go back to stock, Because Sony's Stock is ****, serious **** full for bloatware that you cannot remove and battery life that makes you cry.
Your message was not helpful, but thanks for trying
It most likely is a problem with the ROM installed on your device, as you already performed wipes and the problem persists. Try reporting the problem to the rom dev or if its that important, try a different rom for now
Good luck
