anybody else run into this? i know if i installed a programmed that messed up the startup but if i have to power down the phone and turn it on, the only way i can complete this is by taking the batter out and putting it back in and then the phone powers on.
I just started to have the same trouble. I am going to be doing a wipe and starting over this weekend ... hopefully that will clear up the trouble.
Let me know how that works for you. Mine is doing the same thing.
Having the same problem here, can't figure out why.

this all sounds ominous
i have problems getting mine to turn on as well. i find i have to press and hold the power button for 5 or more seconds to get it to turn on. this may be intentional...
Mine seems to have the same issue, I have to take my battery out also.
Not a big deal since I dont reset often, and its not Windows mobile.

The only time I've had this happen was when the device was connected to the charger, either too the pc or plug. Removing the cord and letting the notification light go off allowed me to boot again normally.

Yep. Sounds like you messed with settings that you don't know what you're changing. Start with a clean slate and don't edit what you don't know.
guys when you hit power off the Orange led lights... the phone is not fully shut down until that light turns off (30sec to a min). after that the phone can turn back on without a battery pull.

I can assure you I didn't change any settings I didn't know I was changing. And BTW there's no setting that's "Don't let phone turn on without taking the battery out first" and no other settings anywhere, not in EPST, not in Testing, nowhere that would create this problem.
I have found that once you turn it off if you wait 45 seconds all the way up to 2:00 minutes the phone will turn back on without a battery pull.
Ohwut, go to Settings...About Phone...Battery and Boot...and uncheck the box for "Don't let phone turn on without taking the battery out first". You were probably screwing around in here and checked this one by mistake.

i needed a laugh this morning.
I was having this same problem. I decided to take it into sprint to see what they had to say. I haven't rooted or done anything with my MSL. After about 15 minutes the techs told me that it was a bad battery. They put a black hero battery in the phone and I have not had a single problem since. they did not wipe my phone back to factory, just replaced the battery.
Maybe you would have luck with the same thing... My suggestion is if you upgraded from a hero like I did, try your hero battery. if you don't have any problems after that, put the evo battery back in and take it to the sprint store and get yourself a replacement battery for it... I can't guarantee that that they won't wipe your phone so backup first. Always backup before taking your phone in to be serviced.

Mine was off for 5-10 minutes and no light and no response to holding the power down. No options to power off or turn on. NO response at all till I pulled the battery out and replaced it. It hasnt happened since. Of course I had to be with a bunch of iphone users so they were having their fun.

Mine has the same problem. I bought mine from radio shack so trying to get them to do anything is like pulling teeth. And they don't reserve Evos in case something goes wrong like a sprint store does.
I hate to bump such an old thread, but...
Mine will NOT turn back on once I turn it "off" without a battery pull. I'm talking like, waiting more than 5 minutes.
Anybody know what's happening here?

I had this issue for awhile but it seemed to go away on its own. I have a feeling it might have been a buggy app that either got uninstalled or fixed in an update.
But it was a very annoying problem!!

try short presses of power button, usually 3rd to fifth press turns it on for me, w/o batt pull
what rom or version are you using? when I was on the 1st OTA update rom I had that problem. But when I OTA to 1.47 it went away. now I am on froyo and of course it's good.

Had it for over 3 weeks. Never had one single problem, reboot, etc.
Was working fine today, left it on the desk for a bit, went to use it again....Nothing. Press power button, screen does not turn on at all. Red light is flashing sometimes. Tried plugging into the wall charger, not charging, nothing shows up.
If I make a phone call to it, it rings but nothing on screen shows up and pick up call obviously. Now its flashing red/green LED's, I just tried sending it an e-mail and could hear the e-mail sound so its a live but the screen is completely dead.
I can fix mostly anything on a PC but sort of a noob when it comes to smartphones. Should I pull the battery? How do I reset it without erasing any data? I'm going to take it to the place I bought it from later today but is there anything I can do?
Anyone have a similar problem before? I tried searching on the net but can't really come up with anything.
I had that once before... just pull the battery...

You know how to take the back case off right? What are you doing on XDA if you have never opened your phone before lol.
Software bugs are the likely cause. My screen locks up every once in a while and I am unable to turn it back on..battery pull always resolves it. When in doubt, pull the battery.
Pulled the battery and everything is fine. Thanks everyone.
You can probably delete this thread if you'd like.
If its a software bug, probably all the apps....right??
Installed CM7 on the EVO 4G three days ago and everything has been working fine. Until today when I went to turn my phone on, nothing happened. It vibrated like normal when its booting up, but nothing came up on the screen. Since then, nothing is happening at all. No charging light when plugged in, no sounds, no vibrations, nothing on the screen, not showing up on computer.
What do I try to get this thing to respond?
Did I cause this or is this a hardware problem that just happened to be about the same time I rooted this thing?

What method of rooting did you do? You try a battery pull and hold the power button down for 15 secs with the battery out and try to boot it.

Try it without being plugged in and with battery out just hold power button down. Usally clears some big issues. If it doesn't work then it could be spanked. Bad unit.

Do you have an extra battery to try out, or temporarily borrow from a friend? Are you sure your battery was charged up, and it didn't die? It sounds odd that it just did that out of the blue. I'd be suspicious of.a dead battery. They can die to the point that they will not take a charge, and they're totally dead.

That's true lol SBC kernels can spank battery quicker. Id try new battery if it's not it then Id swap it out at sprint.
I do not have another battery to test with, I will have to go to a sprint store to do that. I dont have the unit with me to test tonight, but I will take these suggestions home with me. Thanks guys. Lets hope I didn't brick my girlfriends two week old EVO. She loved the Cyanogenmod that I put on there.

I was charging my phone on my computer when it just froze and turned off.
After that, I was trying to turn in back on, so I pressed the power button = nothing happened.
I then proceeded to charge it back on the usb charger, hoping that it will turn on or the led light will. Nothing happened.
I don't really know what happened with my phone.
Can someone help me please?

Does the indication light come on when plugged to the charger?
Maybe a bad power button?
If the light comes when charging, I've read you can power on by holding down the home button.

No, it didn't. Its just dead.
I just returned it to Costco. Thankfully, they were lenient with the return policy because I missed it by 4 days and they still accepted.
Still, I don't have an idea on what happened.
So last night when I went to sleep, my phone was working fine. I had forgotten to plug it in though. When I woke up this morning to turn my alarm off, the volume kept turning itself back up. So I took the battery out, and put it back in, and the phone vibrated 3 times and the LED started blinking orange. I repeated this process and the same thing happened. I turned the phone on using Vol-Down+Power, and it vibrates 5 times and LED becomes green and holds green. I was looking around and I found out that the Qualcomm chip went in to download mode or something, and you had to take the battery out for 10-ish minutes to fix it. So I did that, put the battery back in, and the phone turned on just fine.
A few hours ago, my phone died. I plugged it in, let it charge for a little bit, and tried to turn it back on, and the vibration and LED blinking orange started to happen again. So I took the battery out for 10 minutes, didn't fix it this time. So I thought maybe the phone didn't get enough charge, so I let it charge for about an hour, repeated the process, nothing.
I've taken the battery out, SD Card, and SIM out for 10 minutes. Nothing. Currently the phone is sitting next to me, and I have it plugged in to the charger. The LED is orange (not blinking), so I believe that means it's receiving a charge, so hopefully not all is lost.
Since I have no idea what could be causing this, I'll give you guys everything I know about my phone:
I have the good eMMC chip
I have the bad screen
I have the engineering bootloader, S-OFF (through the perma-S-OFF method in the dev. section)
I am currently running [KANG] DARKSIDE CM7.2.0 rc0 [1.12.2012]
I have flashed the official CM7, MIUI, and most recently (besides what I'm currently running) Creamed Glacier 7.0
I have flashed TDJs ICS kernel v13 (or whatever one you need to have WiFi in ICS)
I'll keep trying to get this fixed, but if anyone has any ideas, please, let me know.
Thanks!

You did say it turned up on it's own and in order for your phone to enter that mode (I forget what it's called), you hold up on the vol rocker and power it on.

Yeah, it turned up on its own. I thought you meant the rocker itself. I could turn volume up and down myself, but sometimes it'd turn up on its own. So that's probably what's causing the problem?
Edit: LED just turned green. I'm assuming this means it's fully charged, so I'm gonna try turning it on now.
Edit 2: 3 vibrates and blinking LED still :/

Nope, that causes the LED to turn green and the phone vibrates 5 times. Nothing else happens. This happened earlier though, and my phone still was able to turn on, so I'm not sure if it's done yet.
Also IF I can't get this fixed, I can get a SquareTrade warranty for $33 which is (obviously) way cheaper than paying for a new phone (I don't have Tmobile's warranty), does anyone know if that warranty would cover this?

You could try calling t-mo and see what they can do about it.
I bricked my mt4g several months ago and they sent me a replacement after what seemed like an hour of troubleshooting, even though I bought my mt4g through radioshack.
If they send you another one, it'll be refurbished, but hey it's better than a bricked phone.

great..
i had about 50% battery.
after using it, i turned it off, then i went to turn it back on... and it never did.
i plugged in charger and no charge icon even shows....
any one else have this issue?
its on the charger now just in case but like i said i powered off at 50%
Did you try long pressing the power button, 20 seconds or more, then letting off and short pressing? Other than that I can't help, sorry.

I got my Nexus 7 on Tuesday evening. After about 6 hours of playing with it
and checking things out I decided to go to bed, so I put it to sleep (not turn it off).
A few minutes later I decided that there was one more app I wanted to download,
so I went to wake it up and it wouldn't!
I tried everything -- short press, long press, try to reset, connect to computer (not recognized), etc.
I decided to let it charge overnight (no charging icon showed up).
The next day still dead, so I called google play and they will be sending me a new one.
On one hand it kinda sucks, but I feel good on how they handled it.
The tech said it was a dead battery, I am not so sure I believe that but ...
Mine was like that out of the box. It's already been repackaged back into its box and I'm waiting for google to send a replacement.
I hope you guys get your replacements soon.

happened to me too. You just have to push the button kinda hard for a looong time until it turns on. try multiple times

OMG thank you so much, I just had a big scare. My Nexus 7 crashed so bad it turned itself off, and I have never had to turn it on yet (came turned on, and rebooted by itself after the 4.1.1 update), and using long press like I do on my Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy Tab 10.1 would not turn it back on. I tried plugging it in, no battery icon... I was really starting to think it was dead, then I saw your comment and just sat there counting...and eventually IT TURNED BACK ON.

What kind of bothers me is that I was told that on my return, I have to put the new/replacement nexus 7 on my
credit card. If they deem that the warranty was voided, they will charge me for a 2nd device!
I would rather send them the broken device and if they decide the warranty is voided, send the broken
device back to me and I will try to fix it myself! I don't want to buy two of these devices!
And even if they don't charge me, I still have to check the device over. I have read where some people have
dead pixels, microphones that don't work, bad screens, and even dead devices like mine. I don't want to
have to do this a 3rd time

google should send out some sort of network message for those that already have a nexus 7 , and any new ones that ship they should insert a notice..
either that, send out an update to fix this issue...
My so called "flawless" N7 did this today ( wouldn't turn on until I plugged it in, when it booted it still had 11%. Checked my mail and the whole think turned black grey and white and moved up and down quickly then shut off. Now it won't power on and makes a buzzing sound when plugged in. Think the display is dead
