Hi, I was just playing around with my LG G3, (I'm using Nova Launcher) and I found "Guest Mode". I turned it on, and it changed the screen to the default lockscreen, and then the screen just went completely blank. The led flashes blue if I press the power button, and I can turn the screen on and off because I can see the "Retro TV fade out effect" when I press the power button. I can't turn the phone off via the power button as nothing come up, it's completely blank. I would like to avoid anything which involves me losing all my files and data. My carrier is O2 and I got it in April 2015. Please, help me!!!

that's a weird situation, i could assume you tried removing the battery, try connecting your phone to the pc if it opens run a backup and move your files to the pc, and flash the software via kdz in download mode. (apps will be removed).

Is anyone else having issues with Traveler in WM6?
I'm using an AT&T based Pandora Kitchens ROM and I'm getting the following problems:
1. Screen is off, I press the power button to turn it on. The screen turns on and I see my Today screen or whatever program I was using when I turned it off but that's it, I can't do anything else. Screen and buttons don't respond. Pressing the call end button results in the short beep that it normally sounds when you're on the Today screen and press it. But I have to soft reset to use my phone.
The same problem happened a few times when someone tried to call me. I was watching my phone when I tested this. Screen was off, I rang myself frlom another phone, the screen turns on and the phone symbol appears next to the signal icon in the top bar but after that the phone freezes as above. Soft reset needed.
2. Phone is charging using the wall adaptor. Green light is on. I pull the power cable out of the phone and press the power button, nothing happens. I had to soft reset.
3. Turn phone on, tap Start menu, wait about 15 seconds before Start menu appears!
Any ideas?
Ok so I had installed a home replacement called qq launcher version 1.21 and uninstalled around 10 min after. While it was uninstalling, the loading bar kept going and the phone froze up. So i took out my battery and proceeded to turn it on again. Now when my phone turns on, after booting up it goes to my pattern lock screen with a completely black wallpaper and my phone freezes. When I press the power button, the screen goes black and stays like that. The only time it switches is when i plug in my charger and when i do that, it goes back to to the same lock screen and stays frozen unless i press the power button (which turns my screen black again.) Im running gingerbread 2.3.4 and im not rooted. My phones also disconnected so i only use it on wifi. I would really REALLY appreciate it if someone can help me get my G2 back to normal, i depend on it greatly whenever im on a wifi network.
With the phone off, hold volume down, press and release power. This should pull up the bootloader screen. You should have the option to do a factory reset from here. Try it.
Hi there,
I'm enjoying coolexe's ROM but I've discovered I can't turn my phone off.
Long press of the power button shows the menu with "Power off", "Hibernate", "Restart" etc. Selecting power off shows the first part of the shut down sequence (white htc screen, black screen, button lighting turns off).
Pressing the power button again (long press needed) does not boot the phone but shows pin entry screen first (ie, the phone did not shut down).
I first noticed this because over night my phone went to 0% battery while I thought it was turned off. The only way I've been able to shut it down properly is rebooting to recovery and powering down from there.
Its a minor problem but I'd be pleased to hear if someone can suggest a solution. The ROM is otherwise great!
Thanks

i don't use this rom, but i think sense 2.1 and above has fast boot feature
try: menu -> settings -> power, then make sure 'fast boot' is unticked
then when you power off the phone, it should properly be properly switched off instead of hibernating.
that worked - thanks!
(now I wish I'd figured that one out myself)
Problems with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 SM-T705:
1st: October 2014
2 weeks after buying, my tablet's battery drained overnight from 45% to zero. Next morning, I turned my tab on after charging to find out that the Tab starts but without any Samsung GAlaxy Tab S logo or Samsung Logo and the Screen has turned green, rendering it difficult to read in auto brightness mode or low brightness mode.
I restarted the device 2-3times and the device started working normally. This was my 1st device restart. I never used to power off the device before.
In 1st 6months, this greenish display problem n logo problem occured 2-3times, and i ignored it, because, it used to get resolved by itself with restart and I had no service centre in and around 50km to my work place.
2nd: January 2014
My device all of a sudden stopped working.. actually hanged.. I managed to turn it off but failed to restart it.
Later I realised that the device has restarted, but the screen was not responding when the screen blinked for a moment with the opening of book cover.. and the back cover of device was warm..
Googling taught me the way to access recovery screen n I opened recovery mode with "power+vol down+home key" and pressing vol down in recovery screen to restart tab.. again the tab started working fine..
3rd: Lollipop update: May 2015
I did Lollipop update. The device was smooth to operate at first. But gradually, i noticed that unlocking the tab failed to light up the display everytime, just the soft keys lighted up. But one day, the device freezed with no response from touch screen. I was unable to switch off the device also.. I had to drain the battery by playing music using S voice to turn the device off. "power+vol down+home key" too was not working.
On googling, I learned to reset device with "power+vol up+vol down" keys pressed together. finally the device restarted, but the device used to hang occassionally.
Googling let me know that i need to factory reset device upon firmware update for normal functioning, which i didn't do after update. so, I backed up my device, uninstalled many apps to make the device run a bit smooth and did a factory reset.. Resetting didn't improve the situation much, but now, the device display failed to light up on a regular basis on unlocking most of the time..
Now the situation is that, the device turns on, finger print scanner works, all apps n everything working, but display remains black, and touch screen is not responding.. using sidesync, everything on Tab can be accessed via laptop.
Tricks tried:
1) Factory reset
2) power+ vol up+vol down
3) power+ vol up+home key
4) power+ vol down + home key
5) Power off using sidesync and then restart
Results: All failure. Everything works but the display never lights up normally..
Plzz help....:crying::crying:
Bump. I'm starting to have similar problems with my SM-T800 running 5.0.2. I open the cover and the device fails to turn on. I press the power button and the screen stays black but the notification bar turns on. I can shake the crap out of the device and the screen stays black but I can see the notification bar flicker. Driving me batty.
If i had any problems like you guys, I would just return it to the place i bought it, for a refund or replacement or even a repair, post it to the service centre if it`s too far to travel too.
You problems sound like battery and or loose connector inside your tablet, it happens frequently on Samsung tablet for the connectors to come loose, if the tablet is dropped or twisted, no outside damage might be seen.

Any idea on how to get my phone? I was just playing around with my LG G3, (I'm using Nova Launcher) and I found "Guest Mode".

The led flashes blue if I press the power button, and I know I can turn the screen on and off because I can see the "Retro TV fade out effect" when I press the power button, but it is completely blank. I can't turn the phone off via the power button as nothing come up, it's completely blank. I would like to avoid anything which involves me losing all my files and data.
