Did a search and can't find a similar thread, so apologies if there is one.
Over the last couple of days my phone has been freezing on shutdown. I have to turn my phone off whilst at work, and when I do it stops on the "o2" splash screen and just gets hotter and hotter. If I don't spot it then it just runs the battery down to zero.
I have to forcibly turn it off by holding down the power button.
Anyone else had experience of this? I haven't rooted it yet, so a return to HTC is on the cards.
I love this phone, but this is already my 2nd after getting dust under my screen for the first one.

I'm having an issue with my HTC Touch. For some reason, it always shuts off by it self. It's still on, but the screen go blank, and it freezes up. The button's don't work at all. Then I have to take the battery out, and restart it all over again. Is anyone else having this same issue, and if so, what did you do to fix this problem?

Didn't you just post on PPC geeks? There is an identical thread on this. First off you can soft reset by pushing the stylus in the small hole in the bottom and avoid taking out the battery. other than that check the thread on ppc geeks for some ideas on what your prob may be.
Yah I did post it over there as well. From what I know, it's issue with alot of other users as well. A co-worker of mine just sent her's in, and then they replaced it. So it's it's a software issue not hardware. When the back light go out, an I press the button on top to turn the phone back on, it doesn't work, so I have to re-boot all the time.
gremlin
its a gremlin then. one visited me last night and wiped out my charge. the little bastard must have been hungry. i was at 100% power and the greedy little guy took all of it. first time that one has happened to me. theres a thread on this here or ppc that this power gremlin may be the power cord but now i think its the phone.
Two weeks ago my galaxy just stopped working. it was at a decent battery; just stopped. I tried charging it but the phone would vibrate. phone would come on, then shut off. I tried it multiple times and same result; a few times the phone would make it to the samsung startup animation, sometimes it would just flash the samsung logo, once it compleley got to my screen start before shutting off.
I brought my phone to get fixed. It took a whole week and the guy said my phone was just not fixable. It would work for a few hours then shut off again, according to him. I suspect he didnt work much on it though as hed rather fix phones with easy problems as mine was a tough one.
I've had to replace my phone with an iphone now, but right now, out of curiosity, I completely took my phone apart, and started using tweezers to play the power on button. The camera part just broke off (not the actual camera) but now my phone is actually charging! The red light is on, and click the main button, it shows the battery being charged. This has not happened ever since the phone broke.
Am I bricked? Is there hope for this phone??? Please tell me there is lol.
EDIT: My phone seems to have restarted! Turned it on and it's asking for my simcard what is GOING ON LOL

idont know what you did there, but it worked plus you gotta be more specific to how the phone broke and could not boot-up to screen

It just randomly shut off. It was if someone would constantly be turning the phone off as soon as I turned it on. But then I couldn't even charge the phone. No red light, no screen, nothing, just vibration. I would try to turn it on sometimes it would get to the boot up, sometimes not, sometimes nothing, just a vibrate.
I literally took tweezers and lifted the green board out from around the power on button (it's an actual tiny white button on the inside). and then it randomly started working again

Could be a power button failure. Happens somewhat often.
Could be battery related too, a cheap replacement battery could strike that off.

agree with what he said, it could be a problem with the power button or battery is not working
off topic did you really get 176Mb/s download or is it fake
if its real then was it WIFI or DATA , i have never topped 50Mb/s both wifi and data) but DATA seems to be 10x faster than my wifi
Well... i have a verizon galaxy nexus. running the latest crom with philz recovery.
i have a zerolemon extended battery as well.
while i was working today (i work outside) i was listening to pandora, this is a usual everyday thing, my phone decided to get super hot.
It was HOT. i figured it was a mix of the temperatures here in georgia and my cpu usage. So i powered it off and took out the battery for a few minutes, put the battery back in and put the phone in the DRY section of my cold lunchbox to cool off.
well 2 hours go by, i get off work and try to power the phone on and it only vibrated.odd, as it never happened before, i took the battery out and put it back in. try to power on again. it just vibrated. i thought it was dead.... until a minute later my notification led started flashing. so i called my self from the home phone and it rang!
so now i know the phone is on and functioning buttt.... the screen is completely black. no Boot screen/splash screen not even an led backlight. just black.
ive only seen this problem one time and there was no cure for it, has anyone had the same issue? help?

On the occasion, my phone acts all wonky. This morning it was stuck on a boot loop for quite some time, but it got fixed. This morning it was plugged in and it constantly shut down and rebooted for a few hours. Sometimes when it's plugged in the touch screen is all wonky, and I can't do anything. I'm due for an upgrade some time near my birthday, but 6 days is a while to wait with a badly working phone. This morning I tried to write down some of my friends numbers because I figured this phone was on its last legs, but I only got 1 number before the phone shut down. Then I got another number, but that was it. It shut down again so I plugged it in. I drop my phone a lot too, and it recently started doing this thing where when it gets dropped, it turns off. Usually it would turn on again by itself, but one time it didn't. My dad had to hold the lock button for a few minutes just to boot it up. I might get an otterbox case for my next phone, and it's probably gonna be either another HTC or an iPhone. Also, what can I do for the time being to help keep my phone as OK as it's gonna get? Thank you in advance.
Best thing to do? Don't drop your phone. I had a Galaxy SIII and every time it had a slight shake, the display would freeze and go all fuzzy. The issue was a loose display cable that wobbled a lot. You may want to check your phone for any damaged/loose cables since it's been dropped too many times.
Hello, my galaxy s3 died one day last year and I haven't been able to resurrect it since..inserting battery results in a vibration, samsung logo, then it dies until I pull the battery again. Today I had the sudden urge to try fixing it and got different results than I had previously. I cleaned a bunch of lint from the charging port and am now able to get a short red light flash when the phone is plugged in, followed by a vibration, then the battery charging logo, then death once again. Randomly I'll get the cyanogenmod bootup screen when repeating this cycle but for no longer than a second or two before the phone dies again. I've disassembled the phone and cleaned as much dust and crap as possible to no avail. Any recommendations? Could the power button be frozen? My samsung infuse had a stuck power button and would boot loop but my S3 doesn't seem to be boot looping. Just turning on then dying until I fiddle with the power button again.
I want to rule out sudden death...
I had a sudden death on a note 2.
Download a good compatible (with your baseband) ROM.
Fool with the phone. Like really. Keep trying to turn it on, try recovery mode. I fixed one of these. It wasn't quite the same but I still have it. And it works. If the screen wasn't cracked to hell I'd be on it.
Another option may be trying a debrick image on an external sdcard. You should use one based on the same modem and baseband installed on the phone when it last worked.
