Phone lockup and vibrate 5 times

I was working on a friends phone today and ran across this wierd issue...
After getting into the main screen of the phone at exactly 2:14 min the phone locks up and vibrates 5 times, screen goes black and the green LED blinks.
Ive searched all over and cant find what the issue might be. He is going to take it to sprint tomorrow, but I thought i would ask here for suggestions before he does.
Anyone seen this?

it was happening on a rooted build and unrooted stock build

I tried turning it on a couple more times last night and today and it only varied a couple of times from 2:14. I had it turn off at 2:13 and 2:15 once. I did notice that the battery would charge if the phone was off but it wouldn't charge if the phone was on.

Do both phones have s-off?

No, my phone is the one that is doing this. It has s-on.

Went to sprint today and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with the phone. So they are ordering me a new one. Should be here by Monday.

They told me they were ordering a new phone. I hope it's not a reman'd phone. I didn't pay for one of those... I paid for a new phone. We'll see what happens though.

Xperia Play Touch unresponsive! HELP!

My Xperia Play's touch screen no longer responds to my touch. I used to be able to do a couple battery pulls and it's fine, everything would work. Now, it no longer responds, no matter how much I try to get it to work. I bought it second hand so i have no warranty.
Here's what I've done:
- About 24 battery pulls...
- Tried software update, which succeeded, but didn't solve my problem.
- Factory Reset, nothing.
- Tried Repairing Phone instead of Updating software, that dind't work (failed for some stupid reason).
Can anyone help me out? Everything else works, just the touch screen.
Thanks.

I think its a hardware fault since you have re installed the software... ermm how old is the device?

According to the guy I bought it from, it's about a couple months old. I got it about a week ago.
Actually, the touch screen just started working again out of nowhere, and it's working as if though nothing happened. If I power off the phone or pull the battery, the touch doesn't work again until I do a few more battery pulls. When it does work, there's no flaws to it, it works perfect..

EVERY Sony erricson comes with a 1 year warranty. I got mine 2nd hand but then after a while my screen died. I phoned Sony and told them the problem. Of course I didn't tell them I bought it off a friend but they didn't ask for proof of purchase. I got my phone back and it's working perfectly.

Okay, so what if I don't have the box? They don't exchange the phone right? And I just took off the screen protector that was on the phone (The one from Factory) and I saw there was a small crack which I didn't see until now since the screen protector did a good job at hiding it. It's was only about an inch and a half long and didn't even come on the screen portion. Would this impact their decision on fixing it?
I think i got pretty screwed over...

Unfortunately I no longer own an Xperia Play, and I never had the problem with a non-responsive touch screen. I recommend you call Sony, or return it to the store where you bought it.

[Q] Is my A100 bricked?

Can anyone help me? I installed a program called gallery refresh and it didn't seem to do anything. Then my A100 started running very slow, so I rebooted it. Now it won't come on! It goes to the ANDROID screen, and it's animated, but it just stays there forever. One time it started up after about 15 minutes but it went really slow then just froze. Now it won't boot up at all. Just the Android logo. Is my A100 bricked? I still had important information on there. Is there anything that can be done or can I save my data off the internal sd card??
Thank you.

Now it's stuck at the green "acer acer acer acer" screen. It doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.

It's worse now...
I read some instructions on another site to clear the Dalvik cache and I tried it. Now all I get when I turn on the A100 is a black screen. I think it's really bricked now.

The acer logo is back now. I accidently forgot to put the external sd card back in it. It now boots up to the Acer logos, but that's it.

Stock ICS, rooted, CWM recovery.
I went into the CWM settings and told it to do a Backup and on the next blank screen, the android came up with a spherical thing in his tummy that's rolling about. I'm not sure what that means. There is no indication of how long the backup will take, or even where it's putting it, or whether it works at all. I don't know how long it lasts.

Goto a100 general sticky section, there is a dedicated brick thread with some things to try.
Sounds like the good old emmc failure to me though, and if it is, everything is lost, data, motherboard, TOTAL LOSS.

Also, there is a difference between emmc failure or just bricking by say a bad flash.
Suggest reading the wealth of guides here.

Last thing you can try is booting back into recovery and try to adb pull off your internal SD. Not likely to work, but worth a shot. Stop rebooting and wiping it, you'll just kill it faster, wait until after you get what you can off of it.
Then do a factory reset. It'll likely just not finish or reboot or go to Andy on his back again, never know.

Now it won't work at all. I didn't do anything to it, just went to sleep and when I woke up it wouldn't turn on. Been on the phone with Acer. They won't allow me to send it in for repairs because I'm three months out of warranty.

That sucks, Acer probably put only a year of warranty on because of their stupid eMMC chip. Thank god we are moving towards eSata now. I'm hopefully buying a Surface Pro.

I think a year is the standard time for devices, though IMO once this defect became known they should have recalled or extended the period, instead they just replace it with the same buggy board and kick it back out to die later for good.

Yes, I was very peeved. Acer wouldn't even fix it for money. They said I could not send it in. Thankfully, my note program was synced to Google. I thought for sure I lost it! I was feeling sick about it all night. Today I bought a Nexus and it synced right back up. I was so relieved. It was by far the most important data on the device. So I'm done with Acer now. Hope my Nexus will be better. Thanks for your concern, guys.

Same here. But I got on with acer chat and got bumped up to level 2.and they are fixing for free and paying for shipping. Out of warranty since March.

Thank you so much for posting your experience with Acer! If I had not seen this, I would not have even tried to get service since my warranty expired Nov 2012! But I guess because my problem was the dead emmc issue, I got bumped to Level 2 support and they authorized my return/repair immediately, including sending a FedEx shipping label to send my tablet to them! (Still waiting on the email with the shipping label, but I expect it shortly.)
So if you have a dead emmc, contact Acer chat service anyway, regardless of warranty! Their Level 2 support hours are 8:00 AM - 4:45 PM CST, Mon-Fri. Just go through support chat and they will transfer you through!

HTC One X Screen problem. Black/White/RGB like detuned TV

I can't think how to describe this, so haven't found another thread on here or on google, so have to post a picture.
It hasn't been dropped: When the Sleep Android app woke me up this morning I noticed that there was time-lag between my commands and the phone reacting. This was a bit annoying, but it seem to warm up and THEN it just FLIPPED RIGHT OUT. I have got it working again with a Soft Reset, but it's dodgy and keeps FLIPPING OUT every now and again.
Any idea what I can do?

No I haven't seen it before that's why its a hardware problem if it is a software problem I am sure you are not alone.
Tv gets detuned when it does not receives signal possibly your lcd is not receiving signals or your hox's hardware is not sending signals to lcd.

If it is working then congrats. If your phone still not working properly then take it to the hospital he needs htc doctors.

Sorry Turn on the display and do a pressure between the display and the right down side on the main camera.

Also now there is a 5 second delay on commands. My dad rang earlier, I pressed accept call and it didn't react and it went to Voicemail.
Should i try a factory reset?

Becouse I have the same problem this is BFD(Blck Screen of Dead) The only one solution is to repleace the mainboard. If you have warranty go back to stock and relock bootlader and hope they will repear for free or wait until go so bad and the display stop working and they can't see your status on the bootlader. My phone start slowly to die until one day totaly dead and I am happy because before the dead I go back to stock and relock and they changed the phone after one month in service center with new one. I hope you have warranty. Good luck my friend.

Okay, also it's still laggy. Was that a problem with you?
I replaced the screen already, last year so that shouldn't be a problem.

[Q] Moto 360 Stuck in boot loop after Lollipop Update

Hey guys,
I got the lollipop update for the Moto 360 today, but now its stuck on the boot loop ( the red, yellow, green, blue spinning orbs)
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks
--------------------------------------
Update
----------
I have sent my moto 360 for a replacement and have created a bug report here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=83581
If you guys go there and star it, google is more likely to notice it. Hope everyone gets their watch fixed. Good luck.

It took a while for me as well but finally it booted up fine.

Probably, it is a bug in the update... I sent back the watch to Motorola, they are going to replace it

For me this isn't good idea, cause shipping will take a lot of time (Russia). I Iam inclined to reflash it by myself. I just wonder if it will help or not.

Nothing..I just called them up and explained the problem..they told me to restart the device when that didn't work..they said they will send a replacement after my watch reaches them...
On their website it says I'll get a "like new" replacement so the replacement could be a refurbished one. So, it's probably better if you get your own watch back after repairs.
