Hello,
Today my phone randomly turned off by itself, and when I turned it back on, it got to the samsung screen and then went black. After I tried again/pulled the battery, it did the same thing. I can access recovery and download modes, but when I tried to restore my phone, my phone ****s off before the process can commence. Since the phone barely stays on for 5 seconds, I can't get Odin to see my phone. Please help. My phone is rooted, but I never installed a custom ROM. I'm still stock.
Try to pull the battery, then plug in the USB. You should be able to enter download mode without the restart.

Doesn't work. When I plug it in without the battery, the charging light comes on, then turns off, then the mini vibration happens. But I never get a samsung screen. Can't access download mode at all without the battery.
That did happen to me before. I'm trying to remember how I repaired it. When the battery is in, and turned on. Is it rebooting alot or stuck on the Samsung screen?

The samsung screen will come up, disappear, and then the phone doesn't do anything again. I have to pull the battery to get it to turn on again.
Have you had trouble with the USB staying connected with the PC before?

Not before this happened...
Hmm. I'm stumped. Sorry. I had the very same issue with my i777. I had the Odin screen on while I fiddled wth the USB connection at the phone until it finally stayed connected long enough to push a recovery to it. Although it doesn't appear you have the same issue. I figured I'd throw it out there. Again. I'm sorry I can't help further.

Could the power button be stuck?

Not to my knowledge, I can still push it just fine.
There have been more than a few instances where someone would have similar issues where if would shut off after a few seconds. Most times it would reboot itself over and over, but for a few people it would just shut down.
Most of the cases I've seen, it turned out to be something keeping the button in contact causing it to trigger the switch.
Sometimes it was the button itself got jammed, others the button felt ok, maybe a bit loose, but under it it was essentially pushed in. A couple have apparently just had a bad switch or a short.
May or may not be the case here, but thought I'd go ahead and mention it.

What do you suggest doing if this is the problem?

Some people simply opened up the phone and reseated the button. Others had to buy a new button and replace themselves. Some sent it in to a repair shop to have it done for them and a couple who suspected it was an issue with a switch or a short on the board I don't think were ever able to fix it.
One guy got mad at his and slammed it on the table. After that he said it worked fine! I do NOT recommend this!!! But I have fixed stereos, VCR's, CD players, and all sorts of electronic equipment with this method! I would never attempt it with this fragile screen though!
What I recommend is that you go to a phone service centre that does JTAG, that way they can diagnose and repair the motherboard

Is it definitely the motherboard?

I can't be so sure, but to me it sounds like the motherboard, if you have used triangle away before and have a clean flash counter you could send your device to Samsung for service and repair?

I was under the impression that Sudden Death couldn't happen to US variants and they they had fixed it in the updates, guess I was wrong. Gonna have my friend look at it, if he can't fix it i'll send it to T-Mobile.
when you try to access dl mode you get the option to continue or reboot, choose reboot and long press home and volume up, this will cause recovery to boot up (I sometimes have trouble getting it to boot with my problem without this method) then flash your rom again or flash a firmware package. this will at least get you into your rom for the time being. Then you can work from there.

I've had similar issues. I also had an instance where the phone was on but unresponsive. I had Ana alarm going off and it wouldn't turn off, screen was off and buttons not illuminated. Next time try holding power + vol up. Usually after about 15 secs or so it'll reboot.

GPS on device unexpectedly turns on �????
Hello everyone, greetings from my cozzy bed lol
No, serious talk.
During this last week i have noticed how my gps keep turning itself on, i an very paranoid when it comes to whats on my phone. The fact that it turns it self on at random moments
Was very strange to me. I recalled of any apps i installed., google settings, location settings, i even downgraded my Maps app because had just recently updated it. Since the problem was with the gps i assummed it could be a bug in the app. Which i find it is not. Now i have noticed that it comes on when:
*Placing a call
*Plugging usb cabke to pc/ac adpater
*Turning data connection on after being off forna while
*sometimes even after the phone gets unlocked
Now whilebmost of the times i unlock the device and its already on, i have dropped my OGP but that shouldnt be the cause as the problem is
Software related not hardware. It has been about 3 days now with this issue and i
Have grown a frustration towards it. I even thought the phone was messing up and almost trew it against the concrete when ibwas walking outside.
It really annoys me to have to be watching its state while i try to do something else
I wondered if anyone else has this same issue and if they were able to fix it.
Please help me with this bug.
This seems to happen randomly, it did it to me, I had to factory reset my phone to get it to stop. I then had it happen again so I flashed the original modem from the non value pack update and it never happened again, don't know if that was a quinky dink or it coincides with it.

Do you have a link to modem. Do I have to flash using cwm or twrp?

It is in the unofficial CM10.2 thread. Either recovery will work.

Mine also shows the GPS on frequently and randomly when at idle. Probably more so than any other phone I've had prior.

Strange never have GPS coming on if I don't explicit select it. Seems like an app or something is causing that issue.

I'm thinking it's probably Google Now. The real oddity is the amount of time it stays on for while indoors. It's almost like it doesn't want to utilize AGPS for when it can't pull a line of sight GPS signal.

Actually its most likely the AT&T Carrier IQ software that's on this phone. You can disable it in the Android system processes but it comes back on within 24hrs. Does anyone know of a thread of how to get rid of Carrier IQ on a LG Phone? I briefly browsed threads on XDA but didn't see a LG based one. Looks like the new G2 also has Carrier IQ on it too but the old Optimus G does not.

I installed the unofficial 8/31/13 CM 10.1 build and the CIQ is gone. I think I read there may be problem with texts/mms in the unofficial CM 10.2 builds when on Straight Talk (although that makes no sense to me).

Your fine ! Just that Kitkat is all the rage, so I assumed you were on that too.
Try this : Settings >>> Apps >>>>ALL... Find the settings running app. Then CLEAR CACHE. You cannot clear data though.
Hope it helps !
Also, Philz latest (I think 6.14 or 6.16) has some bugs. I would just flash a generic CWM. TWRP latest also is buggy.
Thanks Man I appreciate your help. I'm not so sure about the e980 and KitKat yet on ATT sounds pretty buggy so I'm still holding off.

Hey community, I need your help here pretty bad. I was running the aicp 7.0 release but ended up flashtooling back to bone stock. I am getting constant and random reboots. Sometimes it is a bootloop, sometimes it gets to the att logo, sometimes it makes it to my home screen, and sometimes I can actually use it for 10 or 15 minutes but it always fails and reboots. Is there anything I can try? I am totally stumped. I figured a tot file flash back to stock would have solved this but it didn't. It almost seems like a hardware failure but I have never dropped it, got it wet nothin. Another real odd deal is when I can't get it to come out of a loop, if I take the back cover off it will start up. I thought maybe it was the connection on the back cover so I put a piece of tape over it but it still does it, but even now it is working with the back cover off but randomly reboots. Its always like this, my signal drops to no bars with the red x and then freezes then reboots. Sometimes it's when I wake it up, and sometimes it's when I start a program. Can anyone please give me some hope?
As of late my device will shut down and restart when using selective focus, or flash on the camera. I thought it might be that Im still on EPH4 but my wife is running stock mm and hers does it too. Thoughts?
hi I was facing this mostly when my battary first started to die.
Happened to me with my Note 4. Replaced the battery and no issues like that since.
