Phone just turns off cant restart - help! - Desire General

This is crazy but my phone randomly seems to turn itself off (battery OK) and I have to take the battery out to get it back again. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks

sounds like a dodgy unit, get it swapped out by your service company or supplier.

Another White Screen Problem...

So, I left my Artemis in my RAM Aqua Box waterproof phone case attached to my motorcycle while I ran into the store.
I came out, started the bike and started the ride home. That was when I noticed the white screen and my tunes had stopped playing. I've seen it happen before (while turning off the phone in camera mode, etc), but a simple soft reset always fixed it. Not this time...
For two days now I've flashed it back to factory, installed my latest ROM (twice), reconfigured all my settings, etc, only to have the phone seize up by fading to the White Screen Of Death. The only fix is to remove the battery and let it sit for a bit. I have found however I can get the phone to run longer if I put it in the freezer for 15 mins, then it runs as it should until it warms up.
Sometimes it will work for half a day, other times it will fade out even before the soft reset boots up again. It really doesn't like being plugged in to charge or sync.
Now for some more background info. It did get deathly hot in the case I have because it has a clear face, is sealed, and it was sunny. Also, I started the bike when the phone was plugged in. I've heard this is bad for the charging circuit, but I'm leaning to the overheating as being the seminal event of the start of my sorrows because I've started the bike/truck many times with the phone plugged in. Did my luck run out?
What have I done, and how do I fix it?
i have had a white screen problem on my phone to it would go like this when just left on or when wanting to flash it in boot mode i have taken both sim card and memory card out and i have found that the memory care is curupted and works fine now will have to formate the memory card in order for it to work properly in the phone again

Yes, you can remove your memory card.
Just had similar problem. Possible reason: ROM update. Possible solution - ROM changed again (different) and hard reset. Hopefully everything will be ok. Until now (9 hours) - it is!

[Q] Lock Button Issues

Recently my Captivate glide has been having many issues. Originally it started when my phone would just randomly turn off for no reason, I attributed this to overheating and figured maybe it was a normal thing. Eventually it got to the point where the battery would hold no charge and I could not power on the phone. I replaced the battery after noticing that it was swollen and this seemingly fixed the issue. Though after a week or so I noticed there were still a few problems with it in regards to it going off randomly and coming back on but nothing major. Last week though I was at the gym and it dropped from my pocket I picked it up, put it back on but a few seconds later it turned off again. I just figured it needed to charge. I tried later to turn it back on that's when I noticed that the phone would keep randomly going on and off constantly and the lock button no longer worked when it was on so the only way to unlock it was to slide it out. I figured it was just a matter of replacing the button but it got worst and now the phone wont stay on, It comes on for a second, boots up then turns off, the battery has 0% at all times and even if it's on the charger and shows the charging icon, it won't stay on. For the few minutes that it is on for, the lock function spasms and the phone keeps locking and unlocking itself, eventually showing the lock button menu then finally going off and coming back on. I gave the phone to my friend to check out as he fixes a lot of phone, he took it apart but there was no damage to the button or anything holding it down that would cause the problem, he used a tester to test it and found that it was working fine. He thinks it might just be a software issue and suggested I reinstall the OS. Does anyone have any insight as to what might be the problem and a solution?
TL;DR Lock button on phone acts as if it's constantly being pressed and won't remain on for longer than a few minutes and even when it is on, just keeps locking and unlocking itself before shutting off.

[Q] Please help! Stuck in Bootloop, power button "stuck", no download mode!!

[Q] Please help! Stuck in Bootloop, power button "stuck", no download mode!!
I believe this has to do with the phone thinking the power button is constantly being pressed...
I'm looking for any advice. My s3 suddenly went into a boot loop this morning. It powers on for a few seconds and turns itself back off. I took my case off and noticed the power button is loose. Doing a little research, came across similar issues online caused by the main board going faulty and the phone thinking the power button is constantly being held down.
I know this because I can remove my battery, put it back in, and without even touching any buttons, the phone will attempt to power up.
I'm currently rooted and can't get into download mode for more than 3-5 seconds before it turns itself off. I was only once able to apply the perfect pressure by squeezing the side of the phone which allowed it to boot normally, but about 30 seconds later, the power menu appeared by itself and it turned off a few seconds later.
Has this happened to anyone else?? Anybody know how to go about fixing it??
My phone is still under warranty, but I can't flash back to stock.
Things I've tried:
Download mode
Recovery mode
Different battery
I haven't tried taking the phone apart yet. I want to get a replacement if possible. But just in case, has anybody repaired this themselves??
I'm really at a loss here. Any help is much appreciated!

Wow, crazy. I'm experiencing the same issue starting yesterday! I haven't tried swapping my battery yet, but the stuck power button makes so much more sense. I'm having all the same issues with not being able to stay in recovery mode or download mode for very long.
[EDIT]
My phone also seems to be reacting to static electricity. Say I let sit on my desk... It does nothing (not cycling reboots), if I pick it up it'll just start rebooting again. This leads me to believe that maybe it's not my power button but a battery or internal component issue.

Weird. I haven't noticed mine reacting to touch, but I did watch it try to start itself multiple times while sitting all by itself on my desk.
I'm going to take it to my carrier's in-store warranty center. They said with it rooted it can't be replaced, but they can try to repair the button if it's stuck.
We'll see what happens.
Has anybody had to replace their power button themselves before?

Well I just disassembled my S3. The power button mechanism seems to be just fine. It clicks down with pressure and releases just as I would expect it to. I'm thinking my issue is something electrical or battery.
Were you doing anything when your phone went in to boot loop? I was just texting someone and then.. poof!
What ROM are you using?

LG-H815 - "service disabled," no signal received.

I have an LG-H815 running the v10c-EUR software. It's been running fine up until today. Today when I turned off the phone and turned it back on, I got a notice of "service disabled" and the phone was showing the search symbol above antennae reception bars for a minute or so and then it would change to a small red "X". I have taken the battery out, removed the Sim card and put everything back to no avail. I tried the sim card in my old phone and it works fine. I did a complete wipe and factory reset and the problem persists. The phone will report "no sim card" if I start it up without the sim. When I put the sim in, it just says "service disabled" and then "no service. " I even tried going back to default apn and then re-entering my straight talk apn and rebooting - still nothing. I have not added any programs lately and I have been using a Qi charger with an aftermarket sticker with no problems whatsoever for the past 45 days. I haven't had so much as a hiccup with the phone until today!
Has anyone else experienced such a crazy and sudden loss of service? Is my radio fried, or is there a software solution to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I sure hope I can get some ideas on how to fix this. I have square trade coverage on this and my only option is to send it to their repair center. That seems like it would be a total waste of time.
Try your sim card in another phone and another sim card in your phone to determine if your sim card is faulty or maybe your sim card reader. I get the "service disabled" message until I enter my pin code.
I tried the sim swap out and nothing. I also was getting a weird phenomenon where very briefly I would get one bar of signal and the no signal warning would shut off, then in a matter of seconds, the signal would fade and then shut completely off again. This looks like it is almost certainly a hardware issue that has nothing to do with the sim card or sim card reader. I sent if off to the SquareTrade service center to see if they can fix it (doubtful). I'm hoping I get a good result from them as I have not LG warranty and bought the Squaretrade coverage at the time of phone purchase.
I'm getting this occasionally. Occurs randomly.
According to posts around here, the G4's stock ROM and stuffs are bad. Only thing to do is wait for them to fix it. Maybe it's related.

Have you been asked for your sim card pin? Maybe we face the same issue?

No, I haven't been asked for the SIM card pin. My problem was definitely a hardware failure. I filed a claim with Squaretrade and shipped it off to their California service center. I just got the phone back today after a week's wait. At first, the service guys were saying it was a software problem and I wasn't covered. Then I called the claims department and read them the riot act and insisted they update my information to the service department about not having changed the software at all when the problem arose and all the steps I had taken to establish rather conclusively that it was indeed a hardware malfunction. Well....lo and behold, I get an update the next day that they had replaced the motherboard and it was now working fine. If anyone else has this same problem and you happen to have squaretrade insurance, the precedent has been established that it is a hardware issue and you are covered.:good:
This happened today and the phone kept shutting off as well after freezing and now won't turn on. It may have hard bricked itself. Going to try another g4 battery at the t-mobile store or maybe get a replacement. Hopefully certain un-backed up things can be recovered.
I reset the phone adding some press in SIM CARD slot and signal was recoverd, seems like hardware issue.
I had the same thing, only after going back to factory settings the phone works fine again...

It happened again and now after going back to factory settings, the problem stays...
Happened to me as well. Removed SIM, mem card and battery and left the phone to cool down. Putting back everything after an hour fixed it.
happened to me just now.
when i press the power button nothing happened, so i decided to remove the battery and restart it.
after restarting service disabled is displayed on my lockscreen. i checked the imei and "unknown" is written.
does anyone here know a fix on this? doesn't have a warranty so i don't know how much LG service center will charge me if i take it to them directly.
It just started to happen to me yesterday after 18 months of use.
Its the very same problems. Im rolling with a LG G3 thoug.
It even did persist after several ROMs clean flashing and even a stock FW flashing.
All of sudden, its working again for an hour or so!
U all need to flash modems of H815 MM or custom via TWRP Or flashfire...usually its a zip file search here on xda
It's the battery!
I had the same "service disabled" nightmare, then I realized the problem started when I swapped in a freshly charged battery. My batteries have been misbehaving recently, and they've probably cycled to their max. When I changed back to a different battery the issue disappeared. I've had this a couple of times now, where "service disabled" would come up, restarting wouldn't help, but switching back to the previous battery did. My suggestion: test your phone with a different battery.

I bought a new battery and, first start with the new battery was ok, but the second restart the problem returned...
With a lot of times trying different methods, I found out that restarting the phone while connected to a charger or computer always works for me (tried this at least 20 times and it always works).
Turning on the pin-code of the sim also seems to do the trick, the phone first displays service disabled and then asks for the pin, after entering the pin, the sim becomes active (I only rebooted like this a few times, but it worked every time).
Had this problem. Done a hard reset which seems to have fixed the problem at least for now ( only been one day! Keep waiting for it to start doing it again but so far so good)
I found out that restarting the phone while connected to a charger works for me too

Screen will not come back on

So i just got this phone and when the phone first turns on everything appears to work just fine. Then when the screen turns off it will not turn back on. The only way i can get the screen to come back to life is by pulling the sim and putting it back in to force a restart. I have tried the software companion via a software repair. Same issue. Any thoughts or ideas?
