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.
Hello. I created this account so I can finally ask some of my questions regarding this phone. I've had it since the January 6th shipping, and it's really been fine for the most part. I've the 8 gig version.
Anyway - within the last few weeks my phone has been refusing to charge on random occasions (it's really very random as to when it will charge and when it won't) - both plugged into the wall outlet via the USB power converter that came with my phone and plugged into my computer.
It's been pretty annoying, but nothing I couldn't work around. It would charge eventually.
However, last night I plugged it in to the outlet and it made the noise confirming it was plugged and started charging. This morning, I unplug it and it's non-responsive. It doesn't respond to anything. I have tried:
-turning it on with the power button; holding it down for an extended period and releasing
-taking out the battery
-plugging it in to my computer (which didn't recognize anything being plugged in)
-plugging it in to a different outlet with a different cable (phone came with two)
I've let it sit plugged in for three hours now and retried all of these things and still nothing... it's dead!
I'm not sure where to go from here? I guess I should have my husband call Dell.
Has anyone had any trouble with the sporadic charging?
Are there any solutions I've missed to get my phone to turn on?
You say you've let it sit for a while, was that plugged into a power source? Try that, it sounds like your battery has gone completely flat and probably needs to sit on a power source. Failing that definitely call Dell and get a replacement battery and charger and see if that fixes it, sounds like one of those items is your problem.

Yes, it has been (and still is) plugged in that whole time. I edited my post
Yeah, something is wonky, I just cannot pinpoint it. My husband's will sometimes not charge, too. But, much less often than mine does.
charging issues
In the last 2 days my VP freezes while charging overnight. Restarts when I take out and replace battery. It will also freeze when I try to use any app while charging. I tried to use Dell chat to resolve issue but got bounced around. I even had an agent tell me my service tag wasnt valid. I'll try to call 800# when I have a free hour or so (I'm sure the call will take that long). The first two levels of support at Dell seem to have no clue regarding the VP it's very frustrating. P.S. what happens with all the apps I've purchased if they need to replace my phone?

Have you swapped batteries with your other DVP? Maybe replacement is the only option, hit up @dellcares on twitter, they have helped me in the past and bypass the whole waiting on hold nonsense with dell mobility.
@tbvnz: all your purchased appls will be reinstalled automatically if you installed them via the Zune software on your pc. The ones installed via the phone can be reinstalled from the MP on the phone, just hit the Buy button again and it will tell you its already been purchased and allow you to download it again.
Update:
I snagged my husband's battery and put it in my phone. My phone immediately came on and is now functioning. My computer recognizes it as being plugged in and it's charging.
And, my battery in my husband's phone works fine. It is fully charged and his phone is having no issues.
Certainly this is annoying (and did in fact happen to my husband a few weeks ago where his phone wouldn't respond until MY battery was put in his phone, but we chocked that up to the battery being dead {which it was}.) but at least my husband and I both have DVPs and can interchange batteries... I wonder what someone who didn't have that option would do.
Certainly confusing that removing and replacing my existing battery wouldn't turn the phone on, but my husband's would - even though both batteries are at full charge.
Thanks for the help! I'm not sure if I should contact Dell about it or not. Clearly it's subpar performance, but I've not been completely impressed by this phone in the nearly two months that we've had them, anyway.
Good to hear you are up and running. You could keep an eye on the situation and contact Dell for a replacement battery if it occurs again.
Thanks. Yep, I'll contact them the next time it happens. Anyone else had this problem??

My brother and I have experienced the same behavior on both of our phones. Most recent was his this past week, exactly as you described. It would not turn on via the power button, so I swapped his battery with mine and his booted right up. When I tried his battery in my phone it showed a full charge. That has happened to me one or two times, randomly.

I've seen that behavior in my DVP (picked it up two weekends ago) and I can tell you how to work around it.
What seems to be happening is some kind of bug when you have it connected and charging and try to turn on/off the phone. If you notice, when it seems unresponsive, the hardware keyboard will probably still light up. This is because it's actually on but the screen just doesn't get any output/input.
What I did was this:
1. Disconnect your phone from the charger.
2. Slide the hardware keyboard down so you can see whether it is lit up (on) or not.
3. Hold down the power button until the exact moment you see the keyboard go dark (off). You have to be quick because it will try to turn right back on a few milliseconds later if you still have the power button depressed, leaving it still non-responsive.
4. Wait a few seconds, and press the power button as normal to turn it on. This time you should see the Dell logo, etc. and everything will be fine.
I've gotten into the habit of either leaving it on or turning it off before I connect it to my charger (it's my alarm clock so it's on almost all the time).
Hope that helps.
my DVP won't turn on either...
Hi - i'm glad i found this post because i've had my DVP for 3 days now and its frozen about 5 times and this morning wouldn't turn on or seem to take a charge. it was fully charged when i put it down last night and this morning there was nothing.
i've stuck it into a wall outlet for now and i guess i'll just wait for it. don't know what else to do. don't know anyone else around with the same phone, so that battery swap isn't an option. pretty funny that you realized to do that and that it worked.
anyway, i feel better now that i've complained about it. thanks.
Did you try pulling the battery and then booting it up? If that doesn't work, after a pull just leave the battery in the phone and let it charge. After 20 minutes you should see it power on.
So it's continued to happen with my phone whenever I have it plugged in to the wall with the brick that came with the phone. Annoying! Basically I cannot have it plugged in next to my bed; it can only charge on my computer. So much for using it as an alarm!
I will try the power down and reboot with the keyboard out. I know what you speak of with the flashing keyboard. I hadn't tried to see if mine is flashing while the phone is 'dead'.
Hello all,
I left my phone charging over night as usual. When i woke up i was surprised it had only 32%. I plugged the charger back in, but the phone wouldn't charge. I restarted the phone and when it booted up it had 60%
After some standby time it showed 50% .. really confusing. I pulled the battery out and when i plugged it back in and "before" turning it on. The green battery icon came on flashing with yellow triangle and red thermostat (see pic).
It won't boot up until i plugged in the charger. I left charge until 100% and tried to restart. I got the same icon again and had to plug the charger in.
Anyone know the meaning of this? Battery app showing temp as 36C after boot up. Now it shows 34C. I did attempt battery stat wipe too.
Please share with me your thoughts.
EDIT: I returned mine for a replacement. After that, my nephew admitted that he spilled something right over the usb.
I had a similar problem. When the icon comes up plugged in, yank the battery out and shove it back in.
If that doesn't work, when plugged in take the battery out, unplug the phone, put the battery back in, and then plug it in.
It worked for me!

HEY!! that worked for me. Thank you sooooo much
OK guys, it came back again. The issue is not resolved. Perhaps a battery failure?
I waited for my battery to completely run out. Then charged it all the way up. Then a simple battery pull out and in takes it down to around 80% ?!
Strange stuff here.

Sounds like a very delicate procedure xD
it seems i am the only one with this issue :/
Sounds like the battery just isn't being calibrated correctly.
Let it drain fully and then take it out and put it back in. Chances are it'll turn back on. Let it drain again until it shuts off and then charge fully while the phone is off.

Same problem here. The phone is "charging" even without the charger plugged in (!) When I turn off the phone a green battery icon with a yellow triangle and a red thermostat is flashing. Can't turn it on without a charger plugged in Tried everything. Anyone else suffering from this?

Probably your USB got polluted or bended.
i also think it is a usb issue. i updated the original post. By the way before i returned it for a replacement i tried using a qtip and "contact cleaner" and sprayed some on the usb. After 30 mins i was able to charge normally before it was acting up again.
Bottom line: clean your usb.
Cheers a bunch for your replies! Gonna clean my usb again & carefully "bend" it down a bit. I'll post the results later
Hahaha I laughed so hard in a bus after reading your edit. What a cute nephew
I feel sorry for you though
Tried everything, including a couple of factory resets/wipes. Sent it to the service center yesterday
For me the main idea from using SGS2 for cpl of weeks before selling this crap:
'Do NOT buy korean smartphones !!!'

I cannot disagree more. This is the most fantastic phone I've ever had. Feel free to check my signature. I've had worse. Haha. Much worse. This phone has only lagged twice in the months I've had it and I had to do a battery pull once. I've had my iPhone 4 crash more times than this phone.

I've had charging problems with my SGS2 as well. All of a sudden it started switching tap&talk on and off. Turned very warm and drained the battery juice.
When I attached the charger, it didn't show signs of recognizing that it was attached. I tried to switch it off, and on again with cable connected. Then it started charging, but if I unplugged and tried again it failed again.
So I had to send my beloved SGS2 for service. Now heading on to two weeks without it, i'm growing desperate from having to spend the time with my old Samsung Spica.
Have a look at the charge port problem thread in general. Few of us have had this problem for various reasons.

i also have a kind of similar problem on my S2, suddenly it stopped charging, when i plug it in i tries to start up but isn't able to & then restarts.
i get the normal battery sign when you plug it in after the battery completely dies (no thermometer), nor does the phone or battery gets hot. is there any solution or should i just take it to a service centre? BTW my phone is rooted & loaded with a custom ROM.
Hey guys, Im trying to fix this mt4g for a friend.. It wont boot, I cant get into hboot or recovery, all it does is flash the LED. I have read post saying its because I was unsuccessful at loading bootloader, however it doesn't vibrate like the others are saying. I left the battery out for a couple hours along with sd and sim, also tried charging through the night... I cannot figure this one out, also, the computer will not recognize any new hardware or drivers. Is this phone bricked beyond repair?
I put the battery on my battery charger and let the battery charge outside of the phone now when I put the battery in the phone and plug it in to the computer, the red LED comes on and stays on, along with a red glow on the trackpad... Anyone know what to do?
Blinking LED is either the battery is charging to at least one percent, or you didn't press the right button combo to boot into bootloader. Power + Volume Down is bootloader, Volume up will give you three vibrates and a flashing LED, where you will have to pull your battery.
Thanks, I cant get the phone to do anything... I plug it in with the battery in, without pushing any buttons and the LED comes on and the IR trackpad light comes on... It wont respond to anything, no drivers popup.. Is there anyway to recover a bricked mt4g? Im new to it, as I have an Evo and have never had anything like this occur with all the evos i've flashed and rooted... If someone knows anyway to fix this feel free to give input..
Thanks everyone!
ya .. mine is doing the samething.
I just try to turn it on and I get one vibrate ... nothing else
I hit down and power and I get one vibrate .. nothing else
I hit up and power I get 3 fast vibrates and a flashing orange led ... I try to plug the USB here and I get 3 fast beeps on the comp
I hit up and down vol and power I get 5 fast vibrates with a solid green led and noting else... usb again beeps 3 times on the comp
neither will recognize the usb and I have reinstalled the drivers .. and of course none will work with adb either.
I think we are screwed really ... but maybe someone knows something i dont on this here. Thanks for any help.

ya .. no luck so far ..I have tried a lot .. different drivers .. HTC sync .. etc.
I have tried different button pushes .. usb ports .. wont work in adb .. nothing is doing anything.
all I hear thru my speakers when I plug it in is that damn the fast 3 beeps .. ike a "hell no go F yourself you arent connecting it"
and there isnt a lot of info online bout this .. other than some others have the same LED blinking and stuff .. I still dont know what the different LED modes mean.
so IM screwed .. BUT I am getting an LG G2X as an alternate exchange thru T-Mobile warranty though. goodbye mytouch 4G Hello to G2X AND Galaxy S II(bought) .. fun times!
I found a thread somewhere, not sure where but it said that if you cant get anything and the infra-red on the touch sensor is lit the phone is completely bricked!
Its not bricked. Somethign is wacky with the phone, mine has done it and thats why im trying to find out what the hell is going on. My phone acts like its completely dead. This post migt end up being really long.
Ok, i notices this, i used my phone as a wifi hot spot. Turned it off. Left my phone alone, i then put it on charge and went to sleep. Woke up looked at the battery, no color other than the lighting bolt. Unplugged it then went off. Pluged charger back in and orange led flashes. Tried to get into recovery nothing. Tried to power it on, nothing, tried the volume down and power, three vibrations. Ok then i decided to take out the battery in and out, didnt work, tried leaving the battery out for a few minutes, then put it back in, same. Took out memory card, sim card. Then plugged in the charger. Let it sit for awhile then it works. I notice if you dont use the orginal charger that may also be the problem. I dont have my orginal but i used a walmart charger and seems like a super charger and some how charged my battery enough to be booted up, i daily use a charger that i found with the same connection x-( , that could be the problem. I dunno what makes this happen but it happened to me at least three times. I kinda figure the battery or the emmc chip is involved, could be the hotspot, could be anything, but we dont have enough evidence to figure it out, ill try to post what my battery usage on here. I use cm7 and it only happens when i use it. I tried all other roms but no repeats. That was my story.

I have done all these as well, and still unable to get past the black screen, or acheive bootloader as well. I have even left the battery out for a couple of hours, and still no different. Going to try recharging the battery once more, and some other things.
As for adb it is of no help as of now. I keep getting an error saying no device found. Has anyone found a way past this yet, to try rebooting through adb?
*Edit*
After trying to replace files on the sdcard I was not able to get past this issue. Also spoke with tech support, and was not able to get anywhere with their help. After speaking with them, I have come to conclusion the is bricked. I still cannot figure out what caused the phone to do this I broke down and sending it out to be replaced. Thankfully I have the insurance so I don't have to pay anything for the replacement.
Apparently its not bricked cause I'm still using mine. Try a different charger probly a stronger one like walmarts. I think the battery has a fart and is messed up for a little when it doesn't have a good charge

I have done this, fully charged it twice, and no change for me. I am glad it worked out for you.
Its not bricked.
Download the stock rom, and put that .zip in the root of your SD card. Put it in, press Power + Volume DOWN and wait for the bootloader. Once it boots, it should recognize the .zip and ask if you want to update it, run the update and your phone will be at stock again. Then root again, install Clockwork, and hopefully you backed up your ROM. This won't effect S-OFF, but you will have to run VisionARY again to get root permissions to run clockwork.
Hope this Helps.
one more
I am too having this problem
just blink orange
can't access bootloader or any else....
I too had this problem not too long ago. My power button wouldn't work though... I just connected via USB to my computer with the battery out, put it back in while connected and it turned on. Maybe I'm just lucky but give it a try

Sounds like a hardware issue almost.
I would maybe try connecting the phone via USB to pc. Pull battery and and replace. Then try booting into download mode. Open Odin and check if the device is recognized.

doesnt sound like a brick... truth being, its almost rare " hard bricking " samsung galaxys.. soft bricking is very common.. i bricked a HTC EVO a few years ago... symptoms: press power.. blue light blinks and the shuts off.... pop out batt, plug in, usb to pc....all do nothing....
sounds like somehow there is a batt problem.... TAKE OUT BATT... LAY it on a super flat serface.. now try and spin it!!! or does it rock around like its uneven?... means the batt is swollen in the middle and is no good... that maybe ur prob.

it was working perfectly fine.
now when i put the battery in, it automatically turns on, but only for a split second.
then it turns off.
i know its not suppose to turn on automatically, but i cant even get it into download mode because it shuts off within seconds.
im at a loss
Well.. if you have insurance, call them and tell them the device just stopped working... they will fedex you another overnight.. all for a 100.00 deductable....thats a way out.

I have seen similar stories from people that had defective power buttons. what if you hold the vol down button when you insert the battery, does it behave differently?
