Hi I have had this strange notification since yesterday, it looks like a phone. I checked there is no update and I am on May 2020. When I powered off my device it took a long time to power off, when I turned it back on it seemed to be taking a long time to load like boot loop. I pressed volume up and power off until it restarted, then it restarted normal, but the notification is still there?

Hi guys,
I rooted my phone and flashed cm10.2 on it a while ago. It has been working fine and maybe froze twice here and there.
So, 30 minutes ago I was using my phone and put it down to go eat. I come back, and the screen won't turn on. I tried hitting the home button, and the power button. Neither worked. So I ended up pulling the battery. I plugged the battery back in, and hit the power button. The phone quickly flashed the samsung logo, and then went black. I gave it a minute and nothing happened. I pulled the battery again, and it turned on itself (vibrated as soon as i put it in), then flashed the samsung logo, and then cut right to the cm10.2 logo, and then went black again.
Any ideas? I havent been messing with bad software or anything like that.
Thanks!
I just managed to get it into download mode but it keeps turning off.
update - I managed to plug it into the computer and a red light came on in the phone. It vibrated, and then went dark again. Does this mean anything?
update 2 - I've given up and am going with the "its a faulty power button" - explained here - brickedmyphone.com/ products/ power-button-replacement/
In short, the phone is stuck in a bootloop unlike any I've read about before. All on its own, it constantly makes the bootup vibration pattern but it does not boot up. The screen does not light up, it is completely black (backlight is off as well). It is sitting on my desk doing the vibrate patter (bzzz-bz). Then 40 seconds later, again, (bzzz-bz).
If I could see the screen, I imagine it is going past the 1st Asus Logo screen, then trying to load the OS (2nd Asus Logo), but crashing and restarting.
This happened after I flashed fastboot (droidboot), recovery, and boot. All flashed successfully, so I went into Recovery and started to "wipe cache". It was taking too long so I thought it froze and forced a restart. After that, I never saw the screen light up again.
Any ideas as to what is going on? The phone has no damage (at least physically ).
Yes, wiping cache takes a long time you have to wait it out, forcing reboot before it finishes will result in bootlooped, that is covered in many many threads, you will need to reflash entire Rom from bootloader.
Problem is, I cannot get into bootloader. Its still doing the vibrate cycle I described, it's been 8 hours already.
Try holding the power button and volume up toll you get 2 vibrates then release power, if that does not help it sounds like your power button is stuck in depressed mode
Stuck in depressed mode? But I am able to press it, and I hear it click, and click back up. The "spring" seems to be working fine.
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?
This is a strange one.
HTC 10 2PS6500, Android 8. Has been working fine. Today I took the phone out of the pocket, to find that it's been turned off. Strange, I know the battery was almost full, so it's not a power down due to low battery.
Tried to turn it on with the power button, didn't work.
Held the power and volume up + down at the same time, a few seconds later the phone vibrated and powered up. Battery at 92%. No sign of what might have happened. Phone was working. I wondered what happened but soon forgot about it.
A few hours later, I charged the phone back to 100%. While using it, the screen timed out, when I pressed the power button again, a message popped up saying "HTC recovered from an abnormal reset, send it to HTC" or something like that, and it tells me to tap it twice to send. I tapped it twice, the screen came up. I have the option of Send to HTC or Cancel. I pressed Cancel. The screen froze after that.
Buttons are unresponsive. I pressed the power and volume buttons to reset it, it went black.
Since then I have not been able to get it to respond.
Power button alone - nothing. Tried even holding in excess of 1 minute.
Power + Volume Down - nothing. Held for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, over 1 minute.
Powr + Volume Up + Volume Down - nothing. Held for different durations of time, no difference.
Connected it to a charger, no response, the light up top where it lits when charging does not light up.
It's completely unresponsive. No boot screen, no vibration, nothing at all.
Any idea what else I can try?
well some new development...
I was trying to do the hard reset on the phone periodically. Sometimes with the charger plugged in (but no light on top indicating it's taking any charge). A day later, I was doing another hard reset (not expecting it to respond) but it vibrates and boots up. Since then it has been behaving normally. Strange that battery was at 21%, when it was at 80% when the screen froze. I charged it to 100% then backed up the data while I had it on.
I got about a day of usage out of it, then while I was on a browser scrolling down on a web page, the screen froze again. Battery at 75%. After trying to reset it, the screen went black. Since then, no response on attempts to hard reset.
I have a feeling if I leave it alone for a day and try it it will come back alive.
Doing a search on the net yield nothing except I did see a post someone made saying after the screen froze had to wait till the battery drains 100%, then charge it back up and it will boot again. Is this what is happening? If it's bricked how is it consuming battery?
Anyone has any idea sure would like to hear it.
The problem:
A few days ago, my Moto G5S started rebooting whenever I turned on the camera. This happened both with the main Camera app and in apps that use the camera, like Google Translate or WhatsApp.
But the phone doesn't reboot completely; it shows the first screen with Motorola 'M' logo with 'Powered by Android' of the reboot sequence, and then starts the reboot again. And again, and again.
The first few times this happened, this re-reboot cycle stopped after about 10 minutes; the phone completed the reboot sequence with no input from my side and started working normally again. But the camera issue still persists, and when it reboots, the re-reboot cycle keeps going indefinitely, until I force interrupt it.
If I long press the power button in the middle of the reboot sequence, and then wait for a few minutes to turn on the phone, it usually starts up normally. Sometimes it goes into the re-reboot cycle, and then I have to power off, wait and try again.
The only guaranteed way to get it to restart it is to connect it to a charger or my PC, and then long press the power button to turn it off. If I then turn it on while it is plugged in, it starts up normally.
General observations, and what I tried:
- This is independent of battery life. It happens even when the phone is fully charged.
- It happens even when no other apps are running in the background.
- The phone isn't heating up.
- I removed all new apps. No difference.
- I did a factory reset. Still the same issue persists.
Any idea what could be causing this? The phone is in perfect working condition otherwise, and I don't want to have to get another phone because of this one deal-breaker, if it's something that can be resolved.
Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance!
