HI .
recently my legend has been acting a bit strange .
i'll try and explain in short .
1:sometimes the back button is acting like the volume button. erratic raising of the volume and a flickering volume bar . can't adjust set the volume or back out from programs . hit home button sometimes cures this but not fully exiting the program
2: When i open Google maps and search for something , the search never happens just shows the map but no results . and the proceeds to lock up the phone . no buttons work except holding down the power button to shut down the phone .
..once powered down , the phone boots up into a window that shows , reboot , bootloader and i am not sure of the rest . with Androids on skateboards across the bottom of this window . strange .
3: once phone is on / back on . sometimes i just locks up for no reason . cannot use it at all , until i reboot / turn it off and then back on .
i don't have anything out of the ordinary installed on my phone, as far as apps , its basically out of the box default settings etc .
i have recently ( 2 days ago )
did a factory reset & formatted the 16GB MicroSD card .
last night while testing Google maps for the first time since i did this factory reset i started again . i was able to back out from Google maps . and it hasn't done anything strange today ( SO far ) but i wouldn't hold my breath .
Anyone else had something similar happen with their Legend ?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers

You formatted it but had no custom ROM or rooting?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
nope nothing , basically outta the box ! .
This calls for harassing your carrier and forcing them to get you a new one!
Seriously, if it's outta the box and this happened, that's what I would do, the sooner the better.

Hi all,
since 2 days ago I have this problem. The screen switch off itsel,and sometimes the power buton just doesn't work.
Also, sometimes, pops up the window saying if I want to swich it off, like when we press the power buton for a few seconds...but without doing it!!
I really don't know what to do, is very anoying. I thought might be because the other day I went for a walk, and was raining, so could get wet(?) ..don't know if that could be the problem, but anyway, that was friday, and today Sunday still happen the same.
Any ideas? Might get the buton blocked? If so...how do I unblock it?
I check the screws, and don't know what tool would be good if i need.. might be an special one ?
Thanks in advance.

Screen switches off
I have a Tytn (Hermes) the phone comes on sometimes and works , then on occasions it would be on , but the screen is off . The backlight stays on but nothing on screen. Push the power button and sometimes it will come back on , other times i have to remove the batt and wait a couple of hours before the screen comes back on . When it is like this then even if you reboot , it goes past the htc logo and just before windows loads the screen goes off .I have re installed the shipped roms again as at first i thought it was a software problem . I can see my phone on active sync and i can also load software to and from the phone , even with the phone screen off . any suggestions would be appreciated . Thanks

Hi guys ,
Phone : My Touch 3g ( google branded) = PVT32B and it's from SFR ( vodafone France ) i think ...
Problem : When turned on --> only blue led ( no backlight , no screen -on / no recovery / no fastboot)
Story :
The wierd part is that IT's NOT happening all the time .
From time to time ( complete random ) it's turning on and I can use it.Fully functional . And this happens,usually, after i take out the battery then put it back and leave it like this for 10-20min (sometimes it takes 2 hours ) and if i'm lucky then it will turn on .
AS LONG as i don't take out the battery or runs out of battery , it will work and i can use it . but if i take out the battery, most of the times, it will start only to blue led .
Sometimes it's turning on even after i take out the battery 3-4 times consecutively
it's just randomly
So .... since 3 days ago (since i've bought it) i've tried :
to flash new SPL ---> 2005
then new recovery --> lastest amon-ra 1.7
then new radio ---> 2.22.23.02
..... it did not helped
then i've read this thread (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649689) where one guy said it's from the trackball
but i've tried : i removed the trackball , took out the connector ( main keyboard - couldn't find any other that this ) and put it back .
and many other things like dust-it-off / change ROMs ...
Still ... it's like bingo or like it has it's own will )) .
Any ideas ? or advice?
Thank you
anybody? any ideas?
intermittent issues like that are very hard to track down. I would back up your data, and start saving for a new phone, as it sounds like the next time your turn on your phone, you won't know what it's gonna do...
Just happened to me for the first time - did a reboot via ADB to fix it. Last thing I did was to move some Google apps onto sd-ext using firerat's all in one patch script. Think I'll move them back. Have also been experimenting with modem settings in /system/build.sapphire.prop (doubled my 3G download rate)
hello guys ..
i have an xperia x2 and i'm using it about 3 months (that means the phone still guaranteed)
i use it normally until the power button suddenly not functioned again ..
i don't know what happen .. is it a hardware problem or wrong setting on phone .. ?
when i press the power button , ussually the screen goes off , but now, nothing happens .
now the phone has the screen on for everyday .. zzzz what a bad day ..
could you give me some suggestion .. ??
i have a n9005 ,, suddenly screen goes black ,, touch not working ,, but phone is working ,, i tried to remove battery and do every thing possible for 10 hours ,, nothing help ,
i thought that this is a software problem (xposed+gravity+xnote) something like conflict , but i can enter download mode ( ican't see any thing but with just volume keys) , i flashed a stock rom with odin ,, same problem ,, the blue led on and nothing on the screen not even SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3, i thought that the lcd is dead ,, but i found a video that if the lcd dead the touch still working , and this not happen here ,
i tried another battery ,, but no hope
i removed sim and sd card ,, no hope
this problem happened before like 3 times ,, but i just remove battery twice or 3 times and it work again .
so what do you think guys ???
note: My phone is out of warranty (from foreign country) .
If the issue were software/rom related, the screen would work when in recovery or download mode.
Unfortunately it seems it is a hardware problem and you have to send the phone to service.
I would take it apart and check all connectors, not too difficult if you follow one of many videos on youtube. The fact that phone is working, but no screen and no touch makes me think it's something basic, like screen power supply or maybe whole connector is loose? if you don't see anything obvious, put it back and send it out then.
