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.
I noticed that the phone turns the moment the charger is connected to it (or if the USB cable is attached from a PC that is on). There doesn't seem to be a way to charge the phone with it switched off.
Do the others notice the same behaviour or is this a problem with my Omnia? Is there a way to disable this?
Yeah I have the same thing you cannot charge it while it is turned off. This is true from all the iPhones I have used aswell. It isn't a fault don't worry about it.
I don't know if it can be disabled but why would you want to out of interest?
I tend to charge the phone at night and don't want to receive calls.....

Flightmode is your friend
Settings -> Flightmode on
That cuts all wireless connections, you won't receive calls or SMS at night.
Noticed this too, my phone also reboots when I connect it to a charger too - anyone else had that happen?
With some reading i;ve been doing, *only recently started reading up about li-ion bats* seems they might be on to gain optimal charge / long life at the right voltage.
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
might be why...
I'm doing more research into it. But another reason i can think of is, When it's on. Boot up time isn't there. Flight mode is. I use it rather than turning a phone off now, saves turning on the other end, i can play a game, watch a video, listen to music on the plane and charge it on a socket ready for the other end.
Yes, i noticed this issue also... as i remember, in a small book that came with my phone there is written you can charge you phone when its switched off - it will charge faster.. but theres not written how never mind, its like that, and thats the way it is...
Oh this would be bad. I charge my phone at nights too, and have it next to my bed. If the screen would be on it would be too bright to sleep with (I'm a very light sleeper). Hmm...

No, the screen won't be on
The screen turns off after a minute or you can press the standby button manually.
It's just that you can't switch off the phone completely when it is connected to a charger.

Maybe it's some kind of power management that the OS is doing therefore it needs to be on.
Battery life is great on WP7 after all.
It's confirmed by pocketnow.com
the WP7 OS doesn't allow you to charge while the phone is off
Since using the nand method for running Android I have an issue with charging.
I turn the phone off at night and plug it in, in the morning the charging LED is still orange and i cannot switch the phone on at all unless I pull the battery.
Is there a fix for this issue that anybody knows of please ?
I'm having this issue too..
all magldr users are having this issue and unfortunately there is no fix for that, yet
Bummer, me too
Phone goes on & off more than a whores draws!

thanks for the reply
huh, haven't noticed this seeing as I never turn my phone off at night, I just set it to silent with no vibration
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!

Before my phone shut off, I was able to turn the volume down and up without any problems, so I'll assume no, but I could be wrong

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 :/

try holding vol down when you power the phone on to go into hboot, go into recovery and then rebooting the phone or just rebooting the phone from there.

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.

Haha I was, but then I tried to turn it back on one more time and it did, so I had to come here and ask. And I thought I had read somewhere that flashing a radio might fix the issue.
i have a a mt4g that i got off craigslist and didn't do enough research when i tried to flash every thing so i have the same blinking light but i found i have to pull the battery for 4 hrs before it will give me a 50/50 chance with adb or to boot and i also have no access to any recoverys its android or nothin. i've been dying to find instructions on how to reflash the back ups through adb but lil to no luck
I was using my Nexus 7 til it hit about 15% and the battery alert came out. I turned it off, plugged into the charger and left it there overnight. The following night I took it out of my pouch only to realise that its very warm. I had to press on the power button for a good 10 seconds before it turned on, and when it booted up the battery had only 5% remaining, even though it was fully charged (I checked to make sure it was 100%) and was left OFF the entire day.
I encountered this before but thought I solved the issue after wiping the device and flashing CleanROM 3.0 without any custom kernels or tweaks. Looks like the issue is back, any idea what might be wrong? I hope it has nothing to do with the physical battery itself because that would be a pain. Other than this, the day to day battery life of the tablet and stability is pretty good.
BUMP
No one really? Im sure there are people who experienced this before.
My wife's phone does something very similar. Crashes, heats up and when she gets it back on the battery has taken an absolute hammering. Luckily it occurs only rarely and it appears that there are no long term consequences.

What phone is she using? Is it rooted?
Anyway I think i figured out why, i happened to notice it by chance. After full charge, i plug it out and notice the screen is actually turned on even though the device isnt! The screen is just showing a plain blank screen, but you can tell its turned on, by looking at an angle. I had to manually force a shut down by holding the power button before it goes off, then the tablet automatically switches on. It seems that it only happens when i charge the tablet while its switched off, I wonder if it has anything to do with the bootloader (Im on 4.2.1) or the charger itself.
Galaxy s2 rooted, does not appear to be rom or kernel specific as it occurs with different combinations. Anyway good news you have at least identified the problem.
Cheers Danny
Sounds like it never charged. Why turn it off to charge it? Airplane mode is just as good.

It did charge because when i turned it back on it showed as 95%, the first 5% was drained because the screen was left "on" the whole time. I am beginning to suspect it is the case I use with the tablet. Its similar to those smart cases on the iPad where the screen auto ons/off when you flip or close the cover. I notice that even during the process of shutting the tablet down the flap still affects the screen off/on when i close it. A potential way of screwing up stuff. Next time I charge it turned off, I'll try removing the case entirely and see what happens.
Alright this time I turned the tablet off and left it to charge over night WITHOUT the casing and now it's working fine. No screen on or any heat whatsoever.

Why are you turning it off to charge? Just plug it in and be done with it. I never turn any of my devices off - the only time my S2 has been off is to reboot to flash a new ROM. Never have any charging issues.

Its just a habit i guess, and i always have the mentality that it makes a difference charging it while off
And its also good to reboot your phone once in a while, I usually do it once every 24 hours of use. Y'know, to flush out the RAM and OS so it can start anew. :highfive:
