my phone try to switch off itself!

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

You are in Download mode somehow, disconnect any cords and and hold the power button down until the Vibrant screen comes one let go and it should reboot.
If not, try pulling your battery then starting it up as normal and it should reboot.
Unless you jacked something up prior... No Odin or flashin mods? How did you try "resetting"?
This (you situation) can happen because the buttons for power and volume are directly opposed from each other, its real easy to squeeze both which can put you in download mode.
Good luck! Report back if you're back to normal, I mean the phone.

Didn't work. I tried resetting by removing the battery then placing it again. I also tried the one where you hold the volume button down and press the power button and nothing. Phone remains in download mode. Earlier today I did manage to get to the Vibrant screen but the phone seemed to have turnedd off (it had low batt). But right after it turned back onto the download screen and stood there for a while so I think the battery wasnt that low. Any other ways to pop this phone back to normal ?

I am messing with the phone as I type this, right now I actually got the Vibrant screen where it says samsung right under it. It seems to stay there for about 15 seconds then the phone reboots to the "Vibrant" screen again. Just thought i'd post it to give you guys a better idea of whats up. Sorry guys I know I sound pretty dumb but im a phone freak that just loves using phones, when it comes to the technical parts though I know nothing as you can see lol. Thanks in advance for the help !

possible boot loop
it sounds like you might be in a boot loop problem. before the problem happened were you flashing any roms? if so maybe the error may have happened there and that is why you cant get it to load up, if this is the case a fast odin flash back to stock should fix the problem for you.
here is a link to where you can find info about odin. Just make sure you read everything if you choose to go this route.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810130
also make sure you get the newest version of odin which is 1.7 i believe it is much more stable in my experiences.
if you have any problems or need help with anything feel free to ask or pm me and ill help the best i can, plus there are loads of amazing people on the boards here that will be able to help you as well. good luck and keep in mind as long as you can get into download mode (android with shovel) your phone is never truly broken.

Pulling the battery for 10-30 secs and then boot seems to be the universal problem solver for WP7 phones.

my phone was delivered without the battery inserted, it it was out for like a couple of days. Still gets stuck at the "LG" screen...

Then return it as faulty as it should load unless borked somehow.
/J

Yes i Will return it on monday unless someone knows a way to restore it.
It's possible to start it in 3 modes.
1. Hold down the volume buttons + camera + power button. It then sais cold boot and then nothing more.
2. Vol down + camera + power. Then it sais emergency download, and my computer finds it
3. Camera + power. Shows a phone, cord and computer.
I tried the lg phone support tool and it sais the phone already are up to date.
Isn't there a way to load the windows phone 7 software onto the phone somehow?
Would really like to do it so I won't have to return it. I bought it of eBay, it is a customer return, so guess the guy before me tried messing with it to update it. And the company that sold it to me did not check if it was functioning before selling it to me..

You could of course flash the phone with new firmware and see if it fixes the problem, sounds like someone managed to mess up with your set.
There are some information around here how to flash the phone if you feel up for it.
/J

Ok but do u think The firmware is The problem? The LG tool showed that it was up to date, isn't it just the windows phone 7 software that is missing? I am not sure, but wouldn't the phone not show the lg logo if the firmware was bad?
A reward of € 10 will be given to the person helping me with this, and makes it work as supposed to.

You could probably try a different version of the OS depending on what you have now (I bet you wrote what version you had, I just missed it).
There are a few threads about that under the WP7 hack and dev. And as far as the firmware goes it's hard to know if it's actually ok just because it loads to the logo, I don't know where in the boot sequence the logo appears etc. there could be problems with the firmware too.
My first step would be to see if it's possible to get a new version of the OS in and if not, I'd try some new firmware.
And if nothing works return it as faulty.

I dont know what version there is on my phone, it received it like this, the only thing I see when trying to start it is "LG" and it shows right away.
I tried everything I stumbled upon when it comes to trying to put windows phone software in the phone, but Nothing works... I will send it back tomorrow monday if I cant find a solution to this.

I got the same problem before.
I just turn it off, and leave it for a night
Next day, all the things are ok

yeeaah well, nothing helped, whatever I did to it...
I received no less than 3 broken phones and now finaly I have a working one yaaaayyy

Congrats,
I just sent my phone to LG for the same problem....
My phone can boot up in very low rate...

Lg optimus e900 start issue
Hi,
I have the same issue, I can't restart my phone.
I can see only the logo and the LG caption.
Pls help,
Laszlo

I've got almost the same problem
I just bought this phone via local site, several days ago i'm so much happy with its smoothness but 2 days ago this problem appear, i spent several hours just to find it hanging on LG logo, i've waited for hour to hour just to see nothing happened that time. I left it for bed, and the next day the phone back to normal. But then, at least the device hanging 3 times a day, its just restarting itself and it seems the phone is unable to boot itself to the homescreen. Need help! I've done many way, from restoring, cold boot, softreset, upgrade(when it comes normal) etc but all don't work till now.
Unfortunately, this product doesn't release officially in my country, so i guess i won't be able to get replacement unit. I became so desperate cause i often use it, i need to get this phone back to normal, soon! Thankyou and sorry for my bad english

[Black Screen] S3 neo, READ and suggestions are welcome.

Hello everyone,
I have an S3 neo, it's 6 months old. About 2 months ago i started checking in this forums, and then i flashed cm12, and started adding custom roms to my phone. Everything was well, phone was working fine, and so on.
One morning i woke up and my phone went off, and when i turn it on, it's black screen. I restarted few times, took out memory card, and poof it worked. Was all good.
I left it like that and next morning it happened again. And since then i tried all the ways, like take out battery, hold power button 1 min then try to turn it on after few minutes, and so on. Nothing worked. Pulling out memmory card or sim card didn't work either. It's like this for almost 2 weeks i can't use the phone.
I cant get in download mode or custom recovery i i don't know why it won't react on that. It turns on each time like normally, led notifiaction works, the lights on home and back button works, only screen is black. I can unlock it, and such things but cant see anything.
I even succesfully did a factory reset over play store from pc, but that didn't help either..
Biggest problem is that its under warranty but since custom rom i can't take it to service unless i have money to pay... which i dont
I have NEVER DROPPED it, it was never in water, and so on. Doesn't have a scratch at all.
It even has sound, and everything. Just freaking black screen ....
So what i am asking is if anyone here knows how to remove custom rom and custom recovery over pc,is it possible, without the screen? Any way to do it so i can get warranty back ? All i need is a freaking stock rom and stock recovery and a binary reset i guess. Just freaking would need screen to work for 5 mins eh....
If anyone has any ideas please post them, thanks..

I think you can boot to download mode or revovery. The LED notifi and backlight buttons won't turn on if you boot to download mode or recovery.
Just try to boot to...
1. download mode. Just press and hold for 2-3 seconds power + home + volume down
2. then wait 3 seconds. After that press volume up.
3. Connect your phone to pc, open odin and check if a device is connected.
4. If a device was found by odin - flash a ROM (stock or something else) and hope that this will fix the black screen problem.
Good luck!!

Hi, thanks for ur reply but... My phone turns on when i click home + volume down + power button. I hear sound, blue led notification and so on.......
But when turned on, when i connect to usb odin recognizes it, says connected, and when i try to install the rom i it takes really long and on the end i get fail..*attached the screenshot of fail) I guess because its not in download mode. Any other suggestions how i could get in download mode more?
More suggestions please?thanks

Anyone has any ideas ?
So what all i tried is
Remove battery, hold power button for 1-2 mins, let phone for few mins and turn it on. didn't work
I tried with adb,but usb debugging not on so cmd cant find my device
Only thing left i guess if someone has idea how to get in download mode in some other way or some program that doesnt reguire download mode but can flash rom and etc.

@Crazeh
Take it back to the nearest service center and act the dumb ("I don't know what is wrong with it")
I have done that many times

They are prob gonna call me and tell me to pay for fix
No one has any idea what else should i try ?

try link2sd app form play store. it has the option to boot to download mode. I think titanium backup has the feature also.

My screen is black so i can't do anything on it.....

try to disable ambient screen. report if problem persist

How should i disable ambient screen ? While i can't see anything on phone cause of black screen ?thanks for reply Rox

Anyone?

ok so i think your problem isn't due to any rom but hardware problem
power off your phone remove the back , look on the left you see a little trap , open it , now you see connector it is the one of the screen try to see if you can disconnect and reconnect it
power on your phone and see if it work :fingers-crossed:

Where is that little trap?
btw if i do this will i loose my warranty completely ?

If Odin recognizes it, it means it's in Download mode. The device has different interaction with the host over USB when it's not in Download mode.
I don't see the screenshot of the failure. It may be that something got broken in your hardware, so the flashing fails. There's a known issue with the S3 called "Sudden death syndrome", I don't know if it applies also to the S3 Neo, where some of the memory of the ROM fails suddenly. If that is the case (I'm not saying it is, but it might be), there's no fix other than replacing the hardware.

Odin doesnt go over setup connection. cant post screenshot bc im new to the site. btw im sure the phone is on but recognized in odin...

My screen just dies, please help!

Hello everyone. I just bought the OnePlus 8 Pro, set it up, used it a little and then opened the camera, and changed to selfie mode. Suddenly the screen turned green and turned off. Since then I cannot boot my phone and i see green flashes on my screen and nothing works. I can still hear the phone works (Lock screen noises and vibrations) but still can't see anything apart from green flashes every 5 seconds. I've tried to hard reset the phone a few times, but no luck, screen still flashes green.
Please tell me if there is something i can do to fix the issue, or the screen just died.

Why would you want to try and fix the issue? It sounds like a hardware failure and you should return your device. Sure it's a ****ty situation but these things happen.

in my country its not that easy .... you need to send it few weeks to check the prob
and thats my only phone i use i cant send it and just bought it
maybe other opinion guys plz?

The only way to solve this is to RMA sadly. Definitely a hardware issue and needs to be replaced (if within the appropriate time) or repaired.

RMA. 100%

ok guys first of all i gave the phone to the company for check thx for your reply
