When ever I reboot my phone and plug it in to my computer (to charge, not for data transfer), the screen seems to be "stuck" on the boot image. I still have access to the notification bar and the genius and camera buttons, but the home, menu and back buttons don't do anything.
Any ideas why?
EDIT: It might only happen when I plug my phone in after it shuts down and before it reboots...

Ok so i was wrong, it doesn't shut off, it goes past the green windows mobile screen, then past the t-mobile shadow screen, then just sits there with a black screen, the power lights are on, but just stays black forever
One other note is a hard reset isn't possible it seems because the phone cannot be turned off
If the battery is removed it shuts off of course, but when its put back in it just starts up and apparently thats not good enough to do the hard reset because it just boots up like normal to the black screen
Try pressing the hard reset keys as you place the battery in. You might need someone else to put the battery in while you press the keys. If that seems tedious or doesn't work, try starting with bootloader buttons (Camera and power button at the same time). Then connect it to your computer and run T-Mobile's update.
Hopefully, that should work.
Hello everyone
I have a serious problem here, was about to give up on the phone but there seems to be some hope out of this mess.
Okay, I was doing a task 29 through HSPL4.exe when it stuck up at 24% and gave Rom update error, (details read something like there has been a communication error etc.). The phone screen showed the Rom update failure screen , when I reset the phone it doesn't power up at all. No bootloader, no vibrations or LEDs, nothing.
Only, when I press the red (end call/ power) button and then press volume up for some time, the phone vibrates twice and the green LED lights up, thats it, the screen remains blank.. When I connect it to USB, my PC detects it, but asks for a driver that I don't seem to have, although I do have Activesync installed (i'm using XP).
Please somebody, get me out of this mess, I'd be so grateful.. Thank you.
Did you try booting into that one screen, forgot its name
....the rainbow screen
do u have hd2 toolkit? btw...if you can get into your bootloader there is definitly hope. long live hd2!!!!!!
I am having the same issue however mine came about when my hd2 got wet after that all it does is vibrate once and nothing happens the LED comes up for like a sec and nothing else happens...
Yeah, it doesn't go to the bootloader when I press the vol down button. But it is detected by my computer when I connect it to USB, isn't there a way it could be recovered thru there somehow?
okay so i left my phone sitting for a while and now it vibrates the bottom buttons turn on when i touch them and the led is in orange and my computer recognizes it too but no display at all....
Thought Id ask here before I give up.
Been having a problem with my nexus.
The power button started acting up recently.
I've tried replacement and also made sure the mechanical button works inside someone else's device and it works fine.
My problem is that the button seems to loop or not work at all. For instance the device wont boot (Gets stuck in a loop) unless I hold the power down until the boot has completed, then if I let go it will usually stay on.
But then the power button is unresponsive unless I hold it again which in turn puts it back into a loop. I can hold it down for 10 secs then release then I get power down option but if I select it it goes back into a loop.
Ive tried a recovery which hasn't fixed it and tried using computer to flash a new image but I cant unlock boot loader as when I manipulate the button on the screen where I have to accept. It then goes into a boot loop again causing the device to not unlock/relock.
Im pulling whatever hair I have left out here and am about to give up unless anyone else has any ideas? Its as though the power button either works but sticks on. Or doesn't work at all. depending if I've held it on for a while or not.
Many Thanks
So randomly, my screen stopped working. I cannot figure out what caused it.
it was fine earlier in the day, then i left my phone completely alone for a few hours, and come back to it to find the screen not working.
When i wake the screen, there is a little bar of light that flashes on the screen, it is maybe 3mm wide, and extends the width of the screen, it flashes, then disappears, and my screen remains pitch black.
is this hardware related?
the only thing I can think of software wise is that my phone is rooted, has exposed module installed, and I am running wanam and gravity box
removing the battery and putting it back in does not replace the issue. as soon as the screen awakes and tries to show anything, the orange bar flashes and disappears.
Start by seeing if you can boot to download or recovery mode. This will bypass most software related issues.
Remove your phone battery for ten seconds. Then press and continue holding keys in this order, volume down, home and lastly the power key. After about five seconds the phone should boot to the Download screen and display some system information.
If so, then try clearing your cache from recovery mode, booting to safe mode or flashing a 100% stock firmware from download mode to recover. If you can't boot to download, recovery or safe mode then it would appear that you have a hardware problem.

Hi guys. So this is my situation; my phone is currently turned off.
If I hold the power button, the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo appears in with the black background, then disappears and the phone turns off after 1~2 seconds.
If I hold the power, volume down button then I get the custom OS screen. If I then choose to restart from this screen, the phone restarts and the Galaxy Logo shows for around 6-8 seconds then disappears again.
If I go to the custom OS screen again, then press restart, I can then hold the volume up button and the lock button and the blue message saying 'Recovery Booting..' along with the same black Galaxy logo then the screen disappears after 1-2 seconds seemingly turning off, then it vibrates once after a couple more seconds then does nothing again
I can not get the recovery booting screen from simply holding Volume up and the power button, I need to do it after restarting through the custom OS screen.
My phone is also suddenly not recognising the charger being plugged in. There is no observed difference between attempts to turn it on with/without the charger plugged in.
The last time the phone was properly turned on, it switched itself off at around 4-6% battery left and from then on I have this result.
So, can you guys help?
Your power button is probably faulty. Try to wiggle it lose or replace it.
