My phone is on but for some reason it won't let me use it, and the home screen keeps resetting and it keeps vibrating. I don't know why it is happening as this is the first time it has ever happened. I can login but its pretty much pointless as i can do nothing after that as it is frozen and then it just goes black and then the home screen comes back again.
It just happened after I clicked clear level 2 ram.
I'm on Bell with Froyo officially updated and no lagfix or anything.
You can't do nothing else than flash it with Odin. You have tutorials in Android development. Hope your 3 button download mode works!

So I got my Nook Color a couple of days ago. I've been using CM7 off the SD card, but when I just went to turn it on nothing happens. I took the SD card out, still a no go. I even tried using a cwm from sd card thing, nada. The Nook doesn't turn on at all. any ideas?
Try plugging in the nook and leaving it for a little while. Sometimes that helps it reset itself.
Try holding down both the power and the nook button simultaneously for awhile untill it reboots sounds like the sod (sleep of death) hit you. Google it!

Have you tried rebooting your Nook? Hold the power button for 10 seconds or so, then release it and hold it again for a couple of seconds until the screen flashes white.
I just left it alone for a while and when I picked it up a few hours later it came on. It happened again today, I turned off the screen for a minute, went to turn it back on a and nothing happened. Just a black screen. Interestingly, it was still running though, because when I hit the volume keys the tone sounded. I just held down the power button till it turned off and then turned it back on and it booted right up. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Edit: I forgot to mention I'm now running CM7 from internal memory, so its not just instability from running it from SD

I was under the impression that in sleep of death the nook is inoperable, ie the volume keys wouldn't work. Is that inaccurate?

No, for some odd reason sometimes you can hear sound and the volume keys will work. Nothing else will.
To fix SoD: set up two profiles in tasker. One for wifi off when screen is off and one for wifi on with screen on.

tasker fix, good to know, had this happen the other day to my nook
Glad I came across this thread. I updated my ROM to CM7.1 earlier this week and have been enjoying it. Came home today and couldn't get my nook color to turn on. Was starting to panic that it had died. Thankfully it was the SoD and I got it back on.
Thanks for the quick tips on how to get it back up and running.
Someone gave this to me to figure out how to get it to JB.
Well, it was stock HC and worked great. no problems, he flashed the ICS that lenovo offered and didnt realize that it wiped everything including the play store.
So I went ahead and nvflashed the CM10 Version 2 on it, as the new V6 isnt in nvflash format. (sucks).
Well it got all the way through and the battery died at the cyanogen boot screen. So i had to go get the charger from him (didnt charge from USB.) and plug it in. let it charge a little bit
Well it booted up, but noticed the home button did NOT work anymore, and the wifi was dead now. Never finds anything, doesnt connect to anything.
So i tried downloading stock images, tried all the hanning things, for what little he has left on the hosting site, etc... and absolutely cannot restore wifi and home button. Also since the home button quit, CWM isnt usable. So i cant flash any CWM images, impossible as it requires the home button to respond. so trying the keylayout fix is pointless because of the chicken and the egg syndrome. I tried all the tricks like holding the button while powering into normal mode, or recovery. no change. Same deal. its just dead jim.
Once i put the factory HC back on, the Wifi did the same thing. and home didnt work still. Took it back to the lenovo JB which is what it was at when I got it, still no WIFI. but it just stays stuck on turning on.... And still, no home button.
I am at a loss.... any ideas? Everything worked before this whole fiasco started.
after trying to get into CWM at least 20 times, one time it DID finally recognize the home button just that once. So i was able to flash on V6 but it made no difference in operation on home button or wifi.
So, I got the key patch and booted back into CWM, again lost the home button. it only worked 1 time after a million tries. I wonder if there are multiple hardware versions? and i got one of the odd ones?
It requires the flash_old and oldboot files in order to take it to stock. new craps out.

I'm not sure about your WiFi problem, but I heard if you restart the tab and hold the home button while its restarting and after the lenovo screen goes away you can let go. That might work. Do it even if you're booting into CWM

I have tried that trick. It only worked the 1 time out of maybe 500000.
Wifi, the Stock HC gets stuck on Turning on. All the rest of the ROMs will turn the wifi on, but the scan is empty. and it wont connect to nothing.
Edit: Nevermind on the WiFi, its just really really weak. If i walk closer to the router it finally picks it up. I am a dumbass. My ancient g1 works great with 3 out of the 5 bars. But the Home button problem is extremely elusive.

Yeah, thats the one thing I hate about this tab is the weak WiFi strength. I've never had any problems with the home button but I've heard the people have had luck using that trick. Wish you luck

I was using my Nexus 7 (2013) this morning surfing some sites, when all of a sudden my touchscreen just up and died. No laggy response, no jittery response, just nothing. I can't even unlock it when I wake it up. I can't power it off (as far as I know), since after I hold the power button down, I can't select Power Off.
I'm rooted running a stock 4.3 as fas as I know. Any ideas of where to begin? Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue when I didnt use it for 4 days. Touch would respond and when the power off dialog came up I couldnt touch it but just hold the power button longer and it will reboot. I held it for about 15 seconds maybe 20 and it will restart
Well, if that previous posters suggestion does not work, or any software-related solution, my first suggestion would be to send it back for a replacement, barring that, it sounds like something could have come loose, if you're the type to try it, you can see how that is addressed with the 2012 version:
Google for "How to Fix Nexus 7 Touch Screen Problems", the video is by Tampatec.
Happened to me too once but i was on a custom rom and kernel. I freaked out when the touch wasn't responding!
I held down to power button to power-off/reboot. It seemed to result in a bootloop and i wasn't exactly patient because i was freaking out a bit!
So, i powered down the device again, booted into recovery (TWRP) and to my relief the touch worked!! I just rebooted back to the system and everything was fine.
This happened to me on stock android 4.3 twice. I believe it is a software issue with the last one or two factory builds of 4.3 for this device. As previously stated, my problem was fixed by holding down the power button for about twenty seconds until it rebooted.

I got it to reboot and that seemed to do the trick *crosses fingers*

Had this issue too a few days ago. I connected it to my PC and rebooted it via adb reboot command.
Occasionally I get this issue after switching the screen on running completely stock 4.3, but I can solve it by holding the power button - not to reboot, but just so the menu comes up. That alone wakes the touchscreen up for me.
Hey guys
My edge has frozen 3 times already to the point I have to reboot holding the 3 buttons.
Anyone else have this issue?

My screen went black, had to hold the volume down and power until it rebooted. I've only had this phone for 4 hours.
Nope guys, mine running like a dream and I'm Def a power user. I'd try a couple back to back factory resets.if you still have issues, take it back.

Got the same issue. And factory reseting didn't do anything. I also tried to reset using the 3 buttons but it just says downloading for more than an hour! I really don't want to send it back and go trough the whole hassle. I just want a fix. I got this phone yesterday and I can't enjoy it... it only freezes when on standby for some time. The only way I can get it to work is by using the 3 buttons just like they guy above...

The downloading screen is just a bootloader screen for flashing rom while odin. If you isn't flashing rom, you don't need to wait for it since the phone is doing nothing.
Got a reboot once on PAW FW. Nothing after.
Yep had one yesterday after using bbc iplayer, tried to go back into iplayer from multitasking and it froze then went black . .used the volume and power for 7 secs and everything came back on . .
Hoping this is just software. .
Mine is UK version and got it on the 8th . .
Read that the S6 had similar problems
Anyone have a fix for this or do I need to take it back to Verizon? I'm in the US and have the same issue. It has happened to me multiple times.
I get automatic reboots as well as full screen lockup for 7-10 minutes where it reboots itself. Both seem to occur when I'm trying to do something immediately after doing something else. Examples are when I hit send on a text/tweet and then pull down the task bar while it's in the process of sending the text/tweet or when rotating screen to look at a picture in landscape mode in Facebook and immediately tapping the center of the screen to get rid of the text on the screen.
This has now happened every day I've had the phone (Friday, Saturday, and now Sunday). It's getting quite old. Any help would be appreciated before I take my phone back to Verizon tomorrow.
I haven't had any freezing, but I did have my first random reboot after 4 days of ownership while listening to music with it plugged into an aux cable..

Same.
i experienced the same issue, freezing up, i reset my phone and someone told to me to install an optimizer to help my phone by freezing up
I got the phone for 2 weeks now, yesterday my volume down and power button is unresponsive, press the power button for a few seconds but it wont respond. I have to hold volume and power buttons and press until a few more seconds and ir restarts, after rebooting it works ok.
Anyone have an update to this thread? Has anyone gotten a fix for this? Or should I just send my phone back and get another? Thanks for any help.
Just had another freeze and shutdown . .doesn't reboot but requires me too use power on and volume keys for 7 seconds to restart phone. .really hope its a software problem ..seems to happen on multi tasking
same for Galaxy S6
i have the Galaxy S6 and i have the same probleme, my phone keep freezing and some time rebooting, i try the safe more but still freezing, i delete the new installed app with no luck.
some other wesite say this is an apps crash that make the phone freezing, but i don't know.
Don't worry, Samsung will fix this with an update. Only had 1 reboot and it was on PAW fw.. now that I'm on pb4 it haven't happened once.
I have a verizon S7 edge, and have had multiple reboots on the phone, with no consistent pattern. It has done it while sitting on the bed untouched/unused. It remounts the SD card every time this happens. I'm really stunned there is no word from Samsung about this issue
I have had the same issue. I worked with a Samsung support member who was helpful in attempting to troubleshoot and log the issue. I ran my phone in safe mode for a few hours in hopes that it may have been an app I downloaded causing the freezing issue but unfortunately the phone froze again while in safe mode. According to Samsung, my next step is to go to a Samsung Experience shop in a Best Buy and have them do a software flash. I'm heading there today and if its successful I'll be sure to post about it.
samsung s7 edge freezing
i have a samsung galaxy edge 7 and it just froze on me too the screen froze and non of the buttons worked for the rest either so i popped the sim card n it unfroze.
Hey, this is software problem. Dont take it back phones. Maybe chrome, messenger freeze phone. Just send feedback Samsung. Samsung will fix this with update. Its not phone problem. Easy guys...
