I was using my phone normally and out of no where the screen turned black. I tried holding down the power button and power + vol down. I even tried charging it and nothing happened. It was so random, I don't know what was the issue. I am on the custom rom "crDroid"
Whenever this happens you usually have to hold down the power button for at least 60 seconds and the bootloader will load up. Were you running the crDroid 3.8.3? How stable is it? Did you come across any bugs? I'm thinking about giving it a try.
Thanks for the help, my phone is now running well. I am using the latest version of crDroid. I haven't run into any issues other then this problem, which only happened once from using this rom for weeks. In my opinion I think its the best one. It runs nice, no bugs, and has some customization features which I like.
Great! I'll flash it today.
Hello sir. I had the same problem... Hold the power and volume down buttons for 2 min. that worked for me. holding it down for that long bypasses the software on the phone.

Not sure this is a known issue or just me. But often if I power down the phone will not power back on unless I take the battery out for like a min, then put it back in. I've noticed this running both stock and custom roms.
I've noticed this too, but it never requires a battery pull. I will power down my phone and try to power it on but it does nothing. I have to wait a minute or so to power on. Unrooted. Who knows
When it does this, hold the volume up for 30 seconds, let go, then press the power button and release. Works every time for me... but I haven't had this problem lately *knock on wood*

Interesting, will give it a shot.
That happens to mine quite a bit too, but if i let it sit for about 30 seconds or so it will reboot. I'm talking about when i shut the phone off then immediately try to reboot it, so i think it boils down to the phone completely shutting down for a little bit after the screen turns off. Maybe i'm misunderstanding what you're saying here, but i don't think it's just your phone.

MY galaxy s2 has problems with powering off every now and then. it was really bad at one point where all it was doing is turning on and rebooting right after. i had a custom rom for months and never had problems until yesterday. i couldnt go on recovery mode because it would always restart every five seconds. Now it seems to less frequent because i realized that it always reboots when i touch the power button once. Sometimes when i push the power button to take it off sleep mode, the power options pops up (recovery, restart, power off etc) so thats when i thought the power button might be the problem
Any guesses on what could be the problem?? If its software problems or power button issue.
P.S. reset my phone, re rooted it, and put a new rom darkside. It literally stays on until i push the power button. then it restarts five seconds later.
the power buttons seems to stick....I have the same problem, the phone is acting as if the power button is being pressed without being let go. When the power button is held indefinitely it just keeps rebooting over and over again. It occurs sporadically, but once it sticks..it sticks. I seem to be able to unstick it by slapping it against my hand but eventually it turns off. Its definitely a hardware issue and I will open up the phone right now to investigate. Ill write if I find anything useful.

I just did a reboot of my tab and it got stuck at what I call "Black Sceen Crash".
Looks like being switched off - but isn't.
It does react on screen touches with a very brief vibration.
And it gets a litte warm.
Does not react on long pressing power button - so no reboot, no download mode, whatsoever.
Guess I have to let it run out of battery - which might take couple of days with screen off. We'll see.
Any idea what to do or what could have caused that behavior? Any similar experience?
Before trying to reboot there was no mobile connection, and I wanted to reboot to get it reconnected. Otherwise no problem.
I am running stock Samsung ROM, rooted, Skyhigh Kernel, OC/UV.

Yeah, I also discovered long pressing power button alone does not force-reset the device. I managed to reset it though by press-hold Power + Home + Either Vol Up/Down. Give that a try.
I can't remember whether it was the Vol Up or Down, try one then the other if it didn't work first time. Good luck.
After a while (30 min probably) it did not any more react on screen touches and was cold. Off maybe? Still no reaction on long pressed Power Button. Tried Volume Down+Home+Power Button - and fortunately it revived the tablet. Strange. Thanks for the hint!
I face the Black screen of death and the device (T805) was not responding to any reboot, recovery or download mode actions, sent it back to Samsung support and they claim an internal piece of HW need to be replaced, I refused that and asked for refund or new device... After a week I got a replacement device...
Has anyone experienced this?
I had many apps opened in the background and Spotify would not play music so that I decided to turn off the device. After that the phone just wont power on. At the time I did that the battery was around 90%.
I tried going into recovery mode and the phone will bot power on.
Any ideas of how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance
I had similar problem. Oneplus support had me connect phone to computer USB with charging cable. Wait a while. Then press power button and volume control at same time for at least 30 seconds. Also I should try pressing power button for more than 30 seconds. After several long attempts at this, the phone came to life. I'll be interested if this works for you.
just flash with msm download tool. if it's software issue, it will help.
My phone did same, push power button 20secs and it comes back to life.. Repeat couple times if dosnt work..
Thank you everyone. I tried everything and the phone is literally dead.
I also contacted customer support and I was told to do the above steps and nothing.
I never did anything to break it. I think it will be the last OnePlus I will ever buy. I had problems with the OP2's home button as well.

Tried holding power button + volume up button for few secs?
Keep power button pressed for 10-15 seconds. Then again try to switch on normally. See if turns on.
My VS985 has 2 problems, which may be related to each other. The first is that, when the phone is fully turned off, turning it back on again is difficult. When I press the power button, the phone just vibrates at me and then refuses to turn on. Screen doesn't light up or anything. Pressing the power button again does nothing at that point. What I have to do, sometimes up to 7-8 times before it turns on, is remove the battery, wait a few seconds, put it back in, then press the power button again. It'll vibrate every time, and eventually one of those times it will turn on and boot up.
The second issue is that I've found it impossible to get into recovery mode using the buttons. I can get in just fine using the quick boot app, but that's not much use if I ever end up in a state where I can't boot into the OS. Apparently it's supposed to work by turning the phone off, then pressing and holding the power + volume down buttons and waiting for the LG logo to show up. I've tried this many times, it never works, possibly because of the first problem.
I bought this phone used, immediately used ODIN to downgrade it to the original stock OS, then towel rooted it and installed CM (LOS 14.1 now), so I've no idea if this phone has always had this problem or if I caused it. It's not a big deal since I always keep my phone on but makes trying new ROMs scary. Has anyone heard of this before, or have any idea how to fix it?
