Well I'm not sure if it is coincidence or not but I charged my device all night with it on and in the morning when I tried to unplug it and turn it off it would not turn off by the power button. After 30 sec and going in to sleep mode I could not turn it back on by the power button, only the track pad.
So I decided to do a factory restore. The first time it froze up just after the lockscreen came up bet before the customization setup started. I had to pull the battery.
The battery cover was very tight and I think this might be the first time I ever took it out. I could not get it back on as it would not snap all the way back in on the left side. I pressed really hard several times and could never get it back on correctly.
The I did another Factory reset and I got all the way through but it says the SD card is blank or damaged. The power button still does not work.
So I tried my wifes SD card and it works but my power button still doesn't work.
I hope I can change it out today. My 14th day was yesterday.
Bummer I finally thought I had a good one after all the trouble with the G2. I hope my next one will be as good as this one was and I will check out the battery cover good.
Sounds like a bad battery by the trouble with the back cover and power problems. Check the battery to make sure that it isn't swollen.
I was lucky and they gave me a new one.
BTW the new one came with 2.2.1
maybe this will help you http://himax.ca/?p=96
Hope you get yours fixed cus mine has the same problem and I just picked up a new one

Hi, I have a major problem with my G1, it will not boot up at all now.
To make a long story short. Every couple of days my phone would not wake up from sleep mode. I thought I was having the issue people were talking about here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528191
So i reverted back to Jesusfreakes 1.5 firmware and it kept happening. So i moved all my apps back to the phone and in fact removed all widgets and really jsut kept a couple of apps.
Anyway this has still been ongoign, usually though i just have to take the batter out and put it back in and we';re in business.
Today though... it's another story. The phone will not start up at all.
I pressed the red button = nothing.
i pressed the red and home button = nothing
red button and camera = nada.
I plugged into the power, a light doesn't even come on the phone. I laeve the battery out or in same thing. I even took out the SD card....
I think the phone just died on me... Anything else you guys can recommend I do?
Take out the battery and hold the Power button for 10-20 seconds.
Plug in the power adapter (without the battery) and see if the LED turns on.
Put the battery back in and see if it turns on.
Does your computer recognize it at all when it's plugged in to USB?
That's about all I know, if you don't see the charging light after you reset it using the power+no battery suggestion, I'd think it would be a hardware problem.
Well I wasn't having any of the waking up from sleep issues. But I did have my phone completely die on me. Same symptoms, it wast responding with anything I tried, and the notification led wasnt working either. I even tried another battery and what not. So this what I did:
1st I pulled the battery out and my sd card for a few moments, the plugged it back in... nothing
Then I let the phone on charge for about 16 hours (some1 suggested this, because messing with the SPL can send ur battery to -110% and takes about 14 hours to revive it. (this didnt do anything for me, but it may have helped I dont know)
Finally I took out my battery, my sim card and my sd card, and let the phone sit for like 10 hours or something, popped my battery back in, and the phone came back to life!
give it a shot, andd good luck
Thanks, i'll let you know in 2 days how it went
in the meantime i called HTC, they seem to know about this issue. He said they'll probably have to swap out the main board but i have to call during business hours for the repair department.
He told me to emphasize that my phone was unlocked so they return it that way also. Since they're putting a new mainboard in i'll ask them to put the rogers one in instead so i can get 3g (I'm with fido in canda 1900mhz)... Let's hope their customer service is extra willing to help out
So my phone was covered by warranty! I guess a dead motherboard does not show the kind of firmware running on the device hihi.
They tried to put a Rogers compatible motherboard in but it failed testing (I have a t-mobile device running on the Canadian network) so they inserted another motherboard. She does not see if it's Rogers or not though but she suspects it's a T-mobile compatible one. They also replaced my antenna.
Can't wait to get my G1 back!!! this Treo 650 is way to bulky
Probably I'm just new, but since after rooting it, it slowly ran out of battery as phones do, but now I'm unable to switch it on. Tried several ideas but to no avail.
I guess it isn't a big deal, I can always return it to the store later today and ask for a replacement since I only bought it last week.
Whilst I'm here, anyone think it's worth dropping this and switching it for another one whilst I'm at it.
Empty battery? Maybe you should charge it for a while.
won't boot
Hi, my dell streak is only three weeks old, but all of a sudden won't boot. Haven't done anything I shouldn't have. Have just downloaded a few apps, was using it at night and woke up in the morning to find it was off and can't be switched on. Took the battery out and put it back on again. Pressed the shutter button along with the power button, and held down the volume keys along with the power button, nothing seems to make a difference. Can someone help please!

try charging it for a while?
Take it back to the store and get a replacement, if its still under warranty.
Hi Guys, thanks for your replies. It's working now, this is what happened:
I woke up in the morning to find my phone switched off and I couldn't switch it on. I connected the main power charger for 5 mins, then laptop for 5 mins to charge but neither helped. The defect I think is in the charger. I left the phone connected to the laptop for a few hours, then switched it on to find it still wouldn't switch on. Then disconnected the sync cable, took the battery out, and put it back in - and voila, it switches on!
Issues: charger failed in two weeks; the streak doesn't switch on when the battery is down even if it's connected to a source of charging (in this case, laptop). Dead battery - charge - take battery out - put it back in - switches on.
My tab was working fine last night, now for some reason, it wont turn on at all....anyone else see this happen, and if so, what did you do?
Probably a dumb question but did you try charging it for a few hours? Maybe the battery is dead.
What did you do with the tablet before this happened?
Thanks for asking.....so here is a brief history. Working fine last night. Set it aside for a couple of hours. Went back to it, but it was off, and it wouldnt start up, so I also thought maybe the battery died. I plugged it in for the night, but this morning, it still wont turn on. Very perplexed.
Hmmm. If you've tried charging it and it still doesn't work then it's probably dead and you should have it replaced.
yeah...Im at work so when I get home I will plug it in again and see if there is any change. Otherwise, its going back.
Haveu tried pressing the reset button in. Never not had it turn on but a few time the screen would not respond to touch

Yeah, tried the reset but with no luck. Talked to Acer and they suggested checking to see if maybe the plug is out a bit and didnt charge it last night, but I just called home and my wife says the charger is fully plugged in. Very odd. This one may be going back to Amazon.
Also, try holding the power button for about 15 seconds, then let go. Then do it again for about 8 seconds. If it's actually on but unresponsive the first time will force it off. The second time would turn it on.
Darn....my hopes were high....but nothing. Considering it was working perfectly last night, this seems so odd.
I've had this happen to me. I just held the power button for like half a minute before it decided it wanted to turn on. Stupid bug
Shoot...nothing on that either. I appreciate everyones input though.
Crazy....got home, plugged it in and turned it on. Working. Go figure.
The power button is hit for miss.

reset button
To get the reset button to work you have to really push it in hard Go get it to move
My power button as well seems. Buggy thou I never turn my tab off .its been on since April 24th the day I got it. Sometimes it has needed tonne restarted. The power button often needs to be held tightly in for over a minute. I once thought my tab was not coming on .Indo think its software not the physical button
Just my two pennies
I wonder what the hell happened to my phone this morning, I thought it was dead. This morning at 4am, I pressed the home button, the clock and date were there as usual on the lockscreen. But there was no lockscreen, just a completely black background. I tried swiping it, nothing. Pressed the power button and the phone became completely dead, nothing happening, couldn't even get the time and date back. Connected to mains charger, nothing, no icon. Left it overnight till just now. Pressed power button, nothing. Connected to USB, nothing. Took battery cover off, removed sim card ready to put back in my old phone. Removed battery which was firmly in and then put battery back in after a few seconds. Everything fired up fine and it said 100% battery charge since obviously charging overnight.
Something up with the battery connection? It's not like the battery was loose in the compartment, it was slotted in as it should be as far as I could tell since I installed it when the phone was new 2 weeks ago. Yet removing the battery and putting it back seemed to cure the issue.
Seems it was a crash my phone experienced. Normal to have crashes or faulty phone? Only have launcher pro installed, no rooting, no drops, knocks or shocks to the phone.
Strange problem you had. I've had several crashes already, but all the ones that involved the phone itself crashing resulted in automatic reboots. I have a lot of stuff installed, but most of the time it's a game that'll crash it.
you could have solved this problem much earlier honestly.
in such cases it is very common to first take out the battery, wait a while and reinsert it. would have brought you the same solution in probably 10 minutes

Well if I'd known to do that straight away, don't you think I would have done?
now you know
Proof? The sgsll really IS the son of god ! )
So I just got my PH-1 tonight, what a nice looking phone.
Well, what happened was I used the phone for about 2 hours, just getting my account and things all set up, I then seen there was the latest security update but couldn't take it because the battery was low (35%). I went and plugged it in and when I did I decided to make a call. While I was on the phone it just died (incall 5min), I did notice the top of the phone on the back was very hot..... Is it dead?
Tried forced reset (holding just power)
Also this with power down and tried all buttons
I didn't try smashing it on the ground though :cyclops:
If you take out the SIM will it boot?

Just curious, how long did you hold down the power button? It takes a lot longer than any other phone that I've had to do a hard reset like that. Longer than I feel necessary. If nothing happens after 30 seconds, does anything happen when you do plug it up to a charger? Do you get the charging image on a black screen?
With sim out it still does not boot.
I held the buttons down for way longer than 30sec.
I'm taking it back later today, hopefully they can fix/replace it.
*** so apparently when you buy online from Koodo in Canada, you need to return it through the mail aswell, i cant just goto a store and get it replaced!!!!!! ***
