[Q] My phone won't turn *off*

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.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

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.

[Q] Turns on by itself after pressing the power button?

Hi All,
I would like to describe something which I'm not sure if it is just me or a bug. There have been a few occasions where I have pressed the power button to put the phone to sleep and after a second, the screen turns back on again. I've tried to replicate it by maybe the way I have pressed it and it could have a residual effect on the button, thinking I want to turn it on again but I've not been successful. It just happens on and off.
Other than that, I love my HTC One X. Just like to find out if others do encounter this. Thanks! =)

Thought it was just me, looks like it's a bug.

Same here, doesn't always happen

Same here, but happened only 3 or 4. Also i was unable to reproduce it on purpose.

Great, at least I'm not alone and it is not due to my way of pressing the power button. Hope HTC fixes this bug in the next update. Thanks all! =)

Me too!!!

same here

Mine does this too, also mines rooted with custom rom. I can replicate it if a press the screen lock button a few times it just shuts off, no shut down or any warning about what's its done. Do we know if this is a hardware or software fault as I guess my warranty is void after rooting.

Same here. I hope somebody can provide a solution.

I've had this before on my sensation but not on my HOX.. running cm10

Hmmm
Yup same ting happen to me I really thought it was me alone dat had dat problem and again I have a custom rom install, was even thinking or going back to original art ruu hoping it would solve the problem , the thing is its my back up fone incase of emergency I'm using my galaxy note 3 and now and them I keep hear a beep when I look the fone is on lol I just feel the one x has too many bugs

yeah.. same thing happened to me after i change my recovery to philz and rom to aosb.
Whenever i turn off my phone and charging, it will boot into recovery. after a while it will boot up itself as usual.
Never happened to me in stock recovery/rom... Not sure what is the cause

Hi Thant,
Thanks for the info. But my battery doesn't even full or almost full. Even when my battery is only 8% left it will boot up automatically.
i wish they have option to turn the feature off..

[Q] Desire does simply nothing

Hi @ all,
I have a big problem with my Desire.
I rooted it and installed AOKP Build 39 on it. Everything went fine, no problem up to this time. I did several restarts, everything ok.
Now, today the phone suddenly turned black, no reaction to any command. So I pulled the battery, put it back again, and then, nothing happened.
My desire only shows a black screen, none of the buttons are working (even Vol- + Power or trackball+Power). Even more suspicious is, that the loading LED is not showing up, although my phone is connected to the loading cable.
I really don´t know what to do. Does anybody of you have an idea what the problem could be?
PS: right now ist started vibrating (endlessly...)

I think that you can begin with construction bussiness, cause you have a nice and expensive brick...
Sent from my HTC Desire via flashes and thunders

Trackball + power isn't supposed to do anything, back button + power is.
But anyway if volume button + power doesn't work and that one neither, I think it's a brick as nlooooo said. Also because the LED isn't working. What does it do when connected to PC? Nothing I assume?

Yes, unfortunately connecting it to the PC does nothing.
What do you think, any chance to get it replaced?

if its still under warranty then u could chance sending it back to htc, just say u tried turning it on in the morning and... nothing just black screen. do NOT say anything bout s-off etc etc. im mean if ya cant even access hboot or no led lights or anything how will they know mite aswell try
dont forget take out ur sdcard incase they look at it n find a rom lol

Battery broken?

No battery is not the problem. The same thing with another battery.
I´m still in waranty period, so I´ll have a try
Thanks for your help.
Can anybody imagine why this happend? I mean the rom was working proberly, no errors during flashing, etc. And can a faulty rom/flash cause a fail of even the loading led?
I always thought that such "simple" things as loading are done directly by the hardware without any influence of the software installed on the phone (especially as loading has to work even if the phone is switche offline)

I think it's a big hardware prob. Can u boot into android, even if the screen's dead? Maybe u can provide the devs with a logcat.
Our G7 can be troublesome sometimes......

Maybe it´s a problem of the mainboard. As i cannot even switch on the phone. when I press the power button nothing happens. So, no logfiles.
I´ll send it to the producer tomorrow.

Did you get it fixed?

Desire HD won't turn on

Hi guys,
yesterday I tried to recover the original ROM for Desire HD. During the process in bootloader, my phone shutdown, and I can't turn it on now, even the bootloader wont run. I think my battery was too low, even tought the phone showed 99% (it happened before, even though the battery was almost dead), and it died during the update. Basically, I'm not able to access any feature right now, I'm not sure, if the phone is charging - when I plug it in, the orange light turns on, but when I unplug, the light stays on. Bootloader won't start, but when I press both volume buttons and power button, the phone vibrates 3 times, green light turns on, and thats all.
If you need more info, please ask.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

You were recovering official ROM from the RUU? This should not result in your device being bricked.
Please try removing the battery for about 10 seconds, then press Vol Dn+Power button and a partial bootloader showing RUU failed or a similar error should open.
Then connect your phone to your PC and again run the Official RUU Setup.
Hit "Thanks" if I helped you. Also click "Donate to me" on the left if u wanna give something in return

Hi, thanks, nothing happens when I push down volume down and power buttons, even after removing batteries. I believe something is actually happening ,but nothing shows on the screen, because when I push volume down and power, and then I plug in the power cable, the orange light does not turn on, while when I plug it in without the combination, it does turn on.
I think that was an official Rom, because I've used it before, and my phone was not rooted afterwards - I did this successfully two times before. However, I recovered it from SD card (pd98img zip copied on the ssd).

Maybe you can try it...just try let the charge is plug in...n leave it be for a hour maybe...don't try to turn on the phone..
After a hour you can try unplug the charge...and remove your battery first...then put it in again...then try power on with pressing volume down+power button..just let see if this time the phone can go to bootloader or not..
Hope this can help..

yeah. I thought about that, but I dont have any desire hd battery here, and I don't know how to charge this one without the phone.

I appear to be having similar problems with it not turning on. when i plug in the charger i get no orange light atall.. if i leave it plugged in (usually within 1hr to 2) eventually it will boot to custom recovery and from there i can reboot the phone and will boot to android. but it does not last very long atall usually about 30mins. have reset battery stats from recovery but doesnt seem to help.
from what i can find online its dieing but can anyone advise on if it will be the battery or the phone itself???
i have just spent $30 fixing digitizer and lcd in the past month. if it is needing a new battery i will proberbly do that but if not it can go..
hope this may help with your problem or any other....

probably won't help my problem.
but to solve yours, download one of the apps that tells you how much battery health you have. You might also get a pretty good deal on a new battery from ebay

LG Optimus G Pro turns off automatically.

So one night, i slept without plugging the phone to charging, and music was on via handsfree.
When I woke up, it was showing the warning to use correct battery.
And since then, it keeps turning off automatically and randomly during use, and sometimes refuses to go ahead of boot screen.
This happened on stock KitKat 4.4.2
I have tried Hard Reset, as well as another Custom ROM, but none seems to fix the problem.
Even if battery is at 80%, this problem occurs.
I don't know what to do.
Please help.

please confirm did your mobile turns off when it gets hot?

My phone shut off after few seconds it turned on,and sometimes restart without let pin selection for sim appear,so i really don't have time to do anything.But i repeat,i can"play"in recovery mode without problem,and phone doesn't turn off.Sorry for my bad english

Seems I solved it myself...
Turned out to be a problem with the battery.
So I jump-shocked it.
And voila, now it works like a charm.
