Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've been active here, but I've recently discovered a weird problem with my phone - I can't get it to turn *off*.
I rarely try to turn it off, so I have no idea how long it's been doing this, but I was on a plane recently and discovered that whenever I try to power it off, it'll pop right back on as soon as it shuts down.
I'm on CM7.1.0, but it's the same when I go back to my nandroid backups of 7.0.3, 7.0.2, and even stock 2.2! I have then eng-hboot (0.76.2000), radio is 26.08.04.16_M, recovery is CWM 5.0.2.0, but the same thing happened on 3.0.2.4. I can provide more info if needed.
Can anyone help?
Just... take the battery out?

But I mean how long is he going to keep his phone off for? If you're keeping the phone off for a long time, you shouldn't store it with the battery inside anyways.

Does this only happen when the device is plugged into the charger/connected via USB?

1) Yes, pulling the battery works of course, but there should be a way to turn it off without doing that. And it comes on instantly when the battery is reinserted.
2) It happens regardless of whether it's plugged in or not.
Maybe I should try re-installing the engineering fastboot? Or try a different radio?
This was happening to a lot of CM Nightly users a few months ago (myself included), and it fixed itself a few days after it started. I still have no idea what caused it.

This happened to me just the other night. I needed to power off for a short while - I pulled the battery. I don't think it happens every time, but I was able to pull the battery and then reinsert it without the phone rebooting immediately.
It happens to me form times to times but i think its nothing serious so i just take the battery out
An update - I tried turning it off while plugged into my computer and watching the log in DDMS; it *CAN* turn off when it's plugged in! Still nothing when it's unplugged, though.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Like others have said, it's not like this is a major problem - I can always just pull the battery if I need the power to be off for some reason. And it's not like phones really need to be off for air travel, so I can't even think of a reason I would need it off, but still - this is obviously a flaw in something, and I can't stand knowing that it's not working exactly right. I think I'm going to flash a different radio, see if it makes a difference, but if anyone has any ideas how/why this is happening, I'd really appreciate you sharing them.
ETA: updating the radio didn't change anything.
same problem--- keeps turning back on
IOn my Desire Z running MIUI, i turn it off and it shuts down to turn itself back on! Very annoying, particulary when on a plane. Taking the battery off, OBVIOULSY fixes it. But not a very practical solution.
Similar to post above, it stays off when connected to USB. Go figure!
I think I read somewhere that this was a clwm issue with the most recent recovery, have you tried flashing a different one? Older or maybe try 4ext?
PS just reread your first post sorry, it seems you already tried a different recovery.
For the OP, since you tried reflashing, and I'm sure you wiped, then I would imagine it isn't a issue with the ROM, the radio didn't help so maybe bootloader or recovery.
OP here, sorry I hadn't checked in for a while. For unknown reasons, the problem's gone. No big changes to my phone, so the issue vanished as mysteriously as it appeared.
Hi,
I have an HTC Desire with Oxygen 2.3.2
Recently the camera did not work anymore.
When I start it I see nothing but a black screen and I can't do anything, I must click on the "home" button to return on the homepage.
Morevoer, I noticed that the camera is always "on"; I cannot use it because when I open it I see just a black screen, but the camera remains "on" and i can't turn it off!
I know that because since I had this problem my battery lasts just four or five hours (from full charge!).
I downloaded "betterbatterystats" to have a confirmation of the process that was mostly using my battery (it always shows the process "msm_camera_awake").
Do u have any idea how to fix it?
I've alrealdy tried to reboot and nothing happened...
My last option is to flash the rom again (and I'm not sure it will work)
Thanks in advance!
reflash the rom, if no working, the roll back to stock
I have a perplexing problem with two phones that I have. The issues is, when the phones go to sleep (either by timing out while on battery or when I hit the power button on the phone to turn off the screen), the CDMA radio will shut off after a while and won't turn back on until I perform one of the following:
1. Reboot
2. Make a phone call
3. Send a text message
4. Switch in and out of airplane mode.
I know when it's off because I will suddenly get a flood of text messages when I perform any of the above tasks.
I thought originally this was something wrong with my phone (maybe too much flashing), so I got another Galaxy Nexus (Sprint). Unfortunately, it does the same thing. If I keep it on a charger and do not turn the screen off, everything works fine.
The phones are a Galaxy Nexus that works with Sprint. Since I don't know when it happens, I captured a logcat of the phone overnight after I turned the screen off. The next morning, I had to dial out to "wake" the phone.
I have factory reset the phone, flashed another rom (it seems to happen to anything that was based on CM), All these have happened multiple times trying to fix the issue. I have wiped dalvik and cache with no avail. Is there something I'm not trying?
I tried looking around to see if anyone else had this problem, but came up empty.
Perhaps someone had had this problem as well and can direct me to a fix.

Hi everyone,
I'm having serious problems with my Wi-Fi on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo (SM-N7505). Whenever I click the button to activate the Wi-Fi, the icon goes from grey to a dull green (darker than the bright green which signals that a function is turned on), as it does when it's trying to turn itself on. Problem is, instead of turning on, it just stays in that state for a few minutes before reverting to grey. This has gone on for a while, and I've already tried several possible solutions which I found after online searches. I don't think it's a hardware issue (see point 1 for the reason), and I really hope it isn't, because my warranty has been voided due to rooting, so I can't have my phone replaced or repaired unless I pay for it (which I can't at the moment). So, I'm basically ignoring the possibility of hardware failure and trying every possible software solution, hoping one of them will work, otherwise I'm just stuck with no Wi-Fi. These are the fixes I've tried:
1) Take out the battery while the phone is on, wait a few seconds, then put it back in and boot the phone up. This used to work when the problem first presented itself a few months ago (which is why I don't think it's a hardware issue), and I've been since using this method to fix it whenever it happened again. But a few days ago, this method stopped working for whatever reason, so I was back to square one.
2) I tried renaming the data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file, which seems to have worked for some people, but not for me.
3) I tried updating the version from Kitkat to the recent Lollipop, hoping that would fix it, but nope.
4) I tried deleting practically every single app one by one, hoping that one of them was interfering with the Wi-Fi somehow, but nope.
5) As a last resort, I tried a factory reset, but not even that worked.
This is basically the long and short of what I've tried to fix this... I might've skipped a few of the simpler fixes I tried (for example, I just remember I tried disabling "Smart Network Switch", which seemed to do it for some people), but the big stuff is all there.
I'd really like to get my Wi-Fi back, so if anyone could help me fix this thing I'd be really grateful!
Thanks in advance to anyone who will bother to reply.
same problem dude
Same problem...wifi and bluetooth not working...pls help us
Same Problem for me, Initally it works fine even after updating Official Lollipop update (OTA), but after few months now wifi & bluetooth are not working for me. And finally faced battery drain issue for past few days. Battery goes down upto 20% per hour even in idle condition. Then i rooted & installed Note Rom & even after i face the same problem. Is there any way to fix?
Hi, Since i updated to android 6.0 I have been experiencing alot of issues. My phone recently started to turn off for no reason for every Rom I install. I cant use it for 10 minutes for it to turn off. Sometimes I must try like 5 times for it to boot. Is there anything I can do about it? Im just thinking I should throw it to garbage and get the S7?
Thanks
Does the same thing on a stock ROM? Possible battery problem?

I am trying to install the stock rom right now but during installation it shuts down randomly. I have tried another battery and it still does the same thing so I think the battery is not the problem.
Also wanted to say that I dropped the phone few times without any screen damage. Maybe that caused a hardware problem?
EDIT: I successfully installed the stock rom. I will let you know if it runs smooth now, thanks!
It seems that my power button has a problem, every time I press it, sometimes it opens the menu where you can select if you want to reboot/turn off/vibrate and the phone turns off.
