Hey there
I might just be being stupid but is the XDA Exec meant to turn on when you plug it into the USB or charger? It was off and then I pluegged it in and it came on all by itself, started up Windows etc. Is this normal?
Apologies if I sound stupid
Thanks,
Dave
how off was it? by pressing the on off button off, or by removing/inserting battery off? mine will turn on fully, if it is off by the button, then plugged in, then screen opened
It was battery off... well, the battery had run down and the screen turned off. It also did it when I first got the Exec... when i plugged it in to charge the first time it turned on itself, and i think that's why my battery isn't great now.
I heard/found that pressing the on/off button doesn't really turn it off. When i press it it sorta turns the screen off, then i press it again and the screen comes on, and i press it again and it seems to turn off. What's this about? lol

So yeah... like the title says, I'm having trouble charging. Basically I plug the phone in (powered off), and it will turn back on. I turn it off with it still plugged in, and it powers back up. Also, if I turn the phone upside down (screen facing down), the orange/red charging light goes off, but turns back on when it's right-side up again. I'm VERY confused with this... Would this constitute an exchange at the Sprint store?
its haunted. Boo~~~!!!!!!
my hero does the same thing and i dont think there is anything wrong with it

Are you sure you are powering off, or are you putting your phone to sleep? There's a difference.
On mine, if I physically power off the phone (hold the red button down for about a couple of seconds and select Power Off), then the phone will not turn on when I plug in a charger (or sync cable).
However, if I simply push the red button without holding it for two seconds, the screen simply turns off (I put the phone to sleep). When I plug in my charger (or sync cable), the screen will turn on (the phone wakes up).
Just in case you really are powering it off. There is a built in awake interrupt set to monitor power connect. To manually activate it connect , disconnect, connect, ( fast ) the power cord to the phone. It should boot. So if it's doing it then your power application to the charger, is noisy. Get a zero crossing switched power strip and use it's switch to power on the charger.
Mine has always booted back after I plug it in if the battery dies or I power off intentionally for some unknown reason. I didn't realize people intentionally turn their phones off any more.
Hi,
Does anyone know any this is happening please.
When I try to turn off my phone by holding the power button then selecting Power Off. The phone shuts down then after few seconds it powers back up.
Thanks
Is it plugged into a computer or power outlet? That would cause it to look like it's turning back on, or maybe actually turn back on.
I have that problem from time to time. You need to open up your backplate, pull the battery out for a few seconds then place it back in. Should be fixed temporarily at least.
So the other morning I wake up. I grab my tablet off the charger, click the lock button, and notice it was off. I figured it must have crashed overnight. I hold down the power button, and it doesn't turn on. I try again this time holding it down longer. It then turns on, but as soon as the lock screen shows up, the screen freezes and I can not do anything. I hold the power button down for an extended period of time, but it turns off and wont reboot no matter what. It wont charge (I assume), it isn't recognizable by my PC, and it won't turn on. I have no clue what happened. This happened randomly. I doubt it matters, but I'm running a CM11 based ROM (I think? Haven't changed it in a while, can't remember) and I have no clue what Kernel. I also noticed that the power button doesn't click as "nicely" (can't think of another word) as the vol. up and vol. down buttons. Could the power button be stuck? Any help or will I have to return it to my warrantor and start over? Thanks in advance.
Hi, the problem is this.. I am using Note, then I press power button to turn it off, and it immediately turns on... And pattern lock is not activated...
It is not happening all the time, but 2 or 3 times per day...
Driving me crazy...
Have you got some ideas??
Thanks...
Power button is a known weak point. Test to see if you can make it happen by pressing it in a particular way.
I was using my phone (43% battery) listening to music using the castbox podcast app when suddenly the music stopped and my phone completely froze, nothing worked not even stand by, i held down the power button to restart it but it just turned off and would not turn on again, i then left it and after around 10 minutes i see it has turned on, to a white google logo with a grey background (never seen that before) i hold down the power button again to try and restart it but it then just turned off again and wouldnt do anything regardless of what buttons i pressed (power/ power + volume up/down) i have plugged it in, still nothing, and nothing when pressing buttons while plugged in.
any one got any idea what could be wrong or how i could fix this?

Welcome new XDA member.... first post? Many threads on this topic. Have you held the power button down by itself for several minutes? Were you having ANY battery issues leading up to this? Can you boot to Recovery? Are you running TWRP?
