Phone kept resetting after soft reset!

Ok has that anyone had this issue with their Orbit?
I had noticed that the keyboard was not giving me any predicted text choices while typing, so I tried to change the input method to no avail. So I decided to perform a sft reset to sort the problem.
Oh was I not happy with the result as for over 5 mins all that was happening with my phone was the screen would light up o2 screen, green screen then enter pin and reset and it would do this again and again.
So even after removing the battery for a few minutes not change once I attempted to start the phone. I even reset the device via the button on the side and it made no difference.
I was just getting ready to bite the bullet and sound off the o2 when I remembered reading on here of something similar happening so I searched and found a posting saying to try and press soft reset just after phone started. And guess what it worked after that so what I want to know is why or what I did to get my phone working again?
Any ideas guys, only thing I can add was the phone was plugged in to my workstation USB so was charging when the initial soft reset was performed while using Valksoft's space reclaimer reset option.
Thanks

Ok an update the phone is now doing this everytime it is turned off. And since the last time it occurred I have been unable to get the phone to work.
Any ideas, I believe it could be a registry issue with the phone as I had recently installed a couple of programs that worked fine for a couple of days then while installing a dictionary several programs were uninstalled in error.
So after installing again this problem has arisen. It is possible that this was not th cause as I hae noticed tat the last scheduled back up was on the 22/01/07 so Monday's was not carried out possibly due to this?

my orbit has also this bug. after a soft reset he is booting up till the pin entry and then a boots again and again. Up to 5 times

Yes, my Orbit sometimes needs to reboot 4 times before it will sucessfully bring up the Home Screen. Anyone got any ideas on why???!!!??

I had enough of it doing this so I have done a hard reset and the problem has gone now just need to set everything back as I want it as backup still had the initial issue once it was retored.
I guess it was to do with the registry but not sure what exactly, maybe redundant reg keys etc?

I've experienced same problem on my dutch t-mobile mda compact III.
Happend after installing different programs, but i can't find the exact cause.
when i remove the microsd (on which i installed the programme's) the device starts en doesn't softreset when phone screen shows.
At first i thought it had to do with programs that tried to connect to gprs before even entering the pincode of the phone. But even without pincode it keeps restarting.
Happend on my 1gb microSD once en also on my 2 gb microSD.
Hope that someone knows what the cause is, so i can prevend it from happening.

Resets caused by the Memory Card Fault
Look at the posts regarding the memory card corruption if you back-up the card format it and then put it back everything is fine for a while. Not puttting a My Documents folder on the storage card usually helps with this issue...

rebooting.
hi,
as you well understand there are only 2 possibilities: software and hardware failure.
Surely, you don't want to think about hardware failure, because in this case the solution is to send it back to seller or to service center. Except for the cases caused by battery and sd card. These are 2 elements you can replace on your own easy.
However, "instability" of the device normally caused by installed software.
The first thing you do, like it or not, if you have a problem, hard reset your device.
BACKUP your DATA before hard reset!
You can try to to remove software piece by piece, but could be time consuming thing and not necessarily lead you to a good result.
Radical approach is to return device to "factory state" - hard reset.
If after hard reset you still have a problem with your device like accidentally rebooting, address to service center or ask seller to to replace the good.
regards,

rebooting.
double post.

I had the issue once... card corrupted. Had a back up so formatted the card, put data back in, issue gone.

This has happened to my orbit a couple of times. But I think if I reset by pressing the reset button on the side of the machine it only resets once. Resetting after installing apps for example from the prompt is bad, do it later by pressing the actual button. This seems to work for me but only time will tell.

random reboots and Reasons/Solutions

hi i upgraded my xps lt26 i on ics to build (ICS)6.1.a.2.55 ota and it was so far going smooth with no mess around till yesterday night
my battery was drained after a whol day use and i came back home left phone plugged for charge(switched off) turned on later on, the phone then stayed for half an hour and then the problem started
phone started rebooting and random boots
the phone since then is behaving like that
i left it like that at 11 o clock the battery was drained(morning)
i was upset.
i figured out the phone is switching off it self, searched out to find the issue but no luck, well
then i noticed that the phone is saying sim error( only once i seen this) i removed the sim card( which actually is not cutted the way it should be, means it was a full sime card( regular orange sim card) i tried to make it micro sim card and cutted in a bad shape but it was working fine
now i have removed the sim card from phone, inserted another sim card in the phone, and the phone is no longer rebooting( i will update this)
i felt:
it might be the sim card reading error on sim tray cause mine was slightly cutted in bad shape plus the reading pannels were also bit trimmed
secondly i have seen there is a bug in ics causing random reboots
if people around faced this issue, they have possibly solutions to hard reset, clean memory by hard reset( power plus volume up), refreshing the firmware via sony pc suite, or finally sending it to repair centre but MINE IS not in warrnty
if any one else had this issue in past or facing this problem can add ,
please share your experience and any possible solution.

Do a factory reset and then update again with PCC, problem is you would loose root then. But there's no else solution available for the random reboots.
Happened with me too, So I decided to stick at Firmware 0.50 since 0.55 offers nothing new or special

reboots
Well
I haven't been rebooted since afternoon
I am sure it's SIM card issue I m facing but personally speaking I started hating Sony
Its waste of money
Look at each flagship leader Sony comes up
Then tons of issues
I will update if anything happened again
Thanks

LG-H815 - "service disabled," no signal received.

I have an LG-H815 running the v10c-EUR software. It's been running fine up until today. Today when I turned off the phone and turned it back on, I got a notice of "service disabled" and the phone was showing the search symbol above antennae reception bars for a minute or so and then it would change to a small red "X". I have taken the battery out, removed the Sim card and put everything back to no avail. I tried the sim card in my old phone and it works fine. I did a complete wipe and factory reset and the problem persists. The phone will report "no sim card" if I start it up without the sim. When I put the sim in, it just says "service disabled" and then "no service. " I even tried going back to default apn and then re-entering my straight talk apn and rebooting - still nothing. I have not added any programs lately and I have been using a Qi charger with an aftermarket sticker with no problems whatsoever for the past 45 days. I haven't had so much as a hiccup with the phone until today!
Has anyone else experienced such a crazy and sudden loss of service? Is my radio fried, or is there a software solution to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I sure hope I can get some ideas on how to fix this. I have square trade coverage on this and my only option is to send it to their repair center. That seems like it would be a total waste of time.

Try your sim card in another phone and another sim card in your phone to determine if your sim card is faulty or maybe your sim card reader. I get the "service disabled" message until I enter my pin code.

I tried the sim swap out and nothing. I also was getting a weird phenomenon where very briefly I would get one bar of signal and the no signal warning would shut off, then in a matter of seconds, the signal would fade and then shut completely off again. This looks like it is almost certainly a hardware issue that has nothing to do with the sim card or sim card reader. I sent if off to the SquareTrade service center to see if they can fix it (doubtful). I'm hoping I get a good result from them as I have not LG warranty and bought the Squaretrade coverage at the time of phone purchase.

I'm getting this occasionally. Occurs randomly.
According to posts around here, the G4's stock ROM and stuffs are bad. Only thing to do is wait for them to fix it. Maybe it's related.

Have you been asked for your sim card pin? Maybe we face the same issue?

No, I haven't been asked for the SIM card pin. My problem was definitely a hardware failure. I filed a claim with Squaretrade and shipped it off to their California service center. I just got the phone back today after a week's wait. At first, the service guys were saying it was a software problem and I wasn't covered. Then I called the claims department and read them the riot act and insisted they update my information to the service department about not having changed the software at all when the problem arose and all the steps I had taken to establish rather conclusively that it was indeed a hardware malfunction. Well....lo and behold, I get an update the next day that they had replaced the motherboard and it was now working fine. If anyone else has this same problem and you happen to have squaretrade insurance, the precedent has been established that it is a hardware issue and you are covered.:good:

This happened today and the phone kept shutting off as well after freezing and now won't turn on. It may have hard bricked itself. Going to try another g4 battery at the t-mobile store or maybe get a replacement. Hopefully certain un-backed up things can be recovered.

I reset the phone adding some press in SIM CARD slot and signal was recoverd, seems like hardware issue.

I had the same thing, only after going back to factory settings the phone works fine again...

It happened again and now after going back to factory settings, the problem stays...

Happened to me as well. Removed SIM, mem card and battery and left the phone to cool down. Putting back everything after an hour fixed it.

happened to me just now.
when i press the power button nothing happened, so i decided to remove the battery and restart it.
after restarting service disabled is displayed on my lockscreen. i checked the imei and "unknown" is written.
does anyone here know a fix on this? doesn't have a warranty so i don't know how much LG service center will charge me if i take it to them directly.

It just started to happen to me yesterday after 18 months of use.
Its the very same problems. Im rolling with a LG G3 thoug.
It even did persist after several ROMs clean flashing and even a stock FW flashing.
All of sudden, its working again for an hour or so!

U all need to flash modems of H815 MM or custom via TWRP Or flashfire...usually its a zip file search here on xda

It's the battery!
I had the same "service disabled" nightmare, then I realized the problem started when I swapped in a freshly charged battery. My batteries have been misbehaving recently, and they've probably cycled to their max. When I changed back to a different battery the issue disappeared. I've had this a couple of times now, where "service disabled" would come up, restarting wouldn't help, but switching back to the previous battery did. My suggestion: test your phone with a different battery.

I bought a new battery and, first start with the new battery was ok, but the second restart the problem returned...
With a lot of times trying different methods, I found out that restarting the phone while connected to a charger or computer always works for me (tried this at least 20 times and it always works).
Turning on the pin-code of the sim also seems to do the trick, the phone first displays service disabled and then asks for the pin, after entering the pin, the sim becomes active (I only rebooted like this a few times, but it worked every time).

Had this problem. Done a hard reset which seems to have fixed the problem at least for now ( only been one day! Keep waiting for it to start doing it again but so far so good)

I found out that restarting the phone while connected to a charger works for me too

SiM problem (Not recognised)

Hello everyone.
Since a couple of days my phone is getting a strange problem.
Sometimes when I turn it on, it doesn't recognise the SIM.
Sometimes it turns on with no problems, but, randomly, a pop up message appear, saying something like "Mobile data won't be available until you mount a proper SIM" with a progression line under the text, and then the phone, most of the times, reboots. Other times the SIM stops working with no warning.
I have tried the SIM on another phone and seems to work ok. I have tried to reseat the SIM as well, several times.
I was running Fulmics 5.0. I experienced this problem so I upgraded to Fulmics 5.2, full wipe, but the error kept presenting.
I even tried to add a layer of paper over the SIM so it couldn't move, but nothing.
I don't think it's an overheating problem because the error presented even when I just restarted with the phone still cold.
I wonder if it is an hardware problem, because I was running Fulmics 5.0 for several months and I never experienced this problem.
It shouldn't be related to some Xposed module, since I deactivated all of them.
Can anyone please give some advices? I'd like to try everything before taking it in assistance...I have never dropped it, if it is related to the hardware it would be strange for it to come out of the blue at random...
Update:
I tried to flash the last CM13. The phone doesn't reboot, but the SIM stops working as well.
The SIM stops working even when the mobile phone is still somewhere, so I guess it's not like that I move the phone and the SIM loses contact on the SIM reader I guess...
Update:
I sent it to repair it, on warranty. They changed a piece, and now it works.

After updating to Android Pie Phone blocking by itself and than immediately lights up

So as in a title. Phone blocking itself (black screen) and than lights up to lockscreen, Just like power button been hitted twice. Happens once in 15-20 minutes usually. It started when I updated phone to Pie. I haven't found any similar bugs on forum so far. What should I do?

Probably an isolated case. Try to back up all your data, and do a factory reset, and/or try to do a clean wipe and install the latest update. If it's still not fixed, it might be a hardware issue.

For everyone who will ever face same problem.
I found the solution. Problem was with my sim card (one of them). So phone thought sim card was removed, which caused it drop to lockscreen. So try to remove or replace your Sim card and check your bug, it's probably gone.
And thanks a lot for OnePlus team for helping me, while it was totally not their fault.
