My phone will sometimes randomly turn off when I try to open a menu or something, usually with manilla. The screen shuts off, and I try to turn it back on, and it doesnt turn on. So I have to take out the battery, and put it back in for it to respond and turn on again. It sometimes even does this when I havent even touched this! Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong? I am using Duttys Leo R3 ROM and have the problem on R2 as well.
Thanks
I had the same problem with some of Dutty's ROMs...I can't remember which now. The one I'm using now seems good though....see my signature
Hi,
I have had the same problem. In my case it looks like there were problem with 1 contact, that was synchronized with nuevasync. I've changed Exchange server to m.google.com and it helps.

After an upgrade to dcd latest ROM 2.2.6 and Radio I have found that when my phone sleeps or I turn it off it doesn’t always turn back on I need to soft reset it. I am even tried an earlier Rom version 2.2.1 and still the problem.
This is a Telecom New Zealand phone and as for normal practice they don't give out their Rom's so I can't just flash back
With some playing I think I have tracked it down to only causing this issue when my data push is enabled ie, don't sync up to an exchange server and the phone works fine.
I am aware from other posts there are others out there with the same issue, can you check if this is the same with your phone. Turn off all your data connections and delete your exchange server and see if you phone then behaves.
I know people are saying it could be the Bootloader but if the above is the cause then I don't think it is in the loader and maybe dcd can help us track it.
I have tracked this problem down to when activesync does a Microsoft Direct puch while the phone is in standby. To connect to our work's mail server we need to also create a VPN connection (not using SSL) as long as I put in a wrong name or password causing activesync never to be able to sync then the power button turns the phone on everytime. If I also connect and sync (while phone is on) then dissconnet my VPN and and change password then the phone still works fine.
Does anyone has any idea where I should be looking, as I would like to have my Direct push email working.
Sorry to jack your thread, but I have a very similar problem. Sometimes when my phone goes on standby when I'm on the phone and my conversation is finished. I cant power back on my phone either. The green light still flashes, but the power button does nothing! Anyone have that same problem?
I've also had this problem. When I press the power button the phone would enter standby mode and when I pressed it again it wouldn't wake up. The only way around it I found for my phone is to install S2U2 and set it so it activates when the backlight turns off. That seems to catch it before it whatever happens to not let the phone wake up happens. So now when I press the power button, the screen cuts off and S2U2 opens. Hope this helps.
I have similar problems. Maybe I'll try using S2U2 ...
Same problems, doesn't seem to wake up if it goes to sleep while VPN is running... any fix?
I had the same issue when I flashed my ROM with the USB connection. It could be the bootloader. because I then used the SD card bootloader and re-loaded my ROM from the SD card and it resolved the issue.
I would recommend reinstalling from the SD card using the no2chem.
So here's a peculiar incident:
I have a CDMA TP with a stock ROM and a few basic apps I gathered from these forums and others. I've had it for less than a week.
Tonite, I went to check my text messages. Suddenly, the screen went black and the phone stopped responding. After pressing the power button and fiddling with the keys, I pulled out the stylus and did a soft reset. No response. Confused by this, I tried again, but still nothing. I removed the battery, and turned the phone back on. It froze at the "Touch Pro" screen with the rom/radio/etc info at the bottom. After repeating this a few times I decided to do a hard reset. So, I turn the device on and perform the hard reset. By this point the TP is only turning on SOME TIMES, and I have to take the battery out and put it back in often just to get it to start successfully. So, I finally get the device to boot up and it starts to configure WinMo. Suddenly, while configuring, it freezes. Now I try to turn it back on, and nothing happens.
Basically the device is stuck like this, shifting between not turning on at all and turning on but freezing at the "Touch Pro" screen.
So, my question is, what the heck is going on here? Has anyone else had this problem, or does this sound familiar to anyone? Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
p.s. Yes, the battery is fully charged.

Time to take it in and get a new one.....
Same problem here phone started b not coming out of lock mode. Backlight is on but no display on screen (if i tilt the screen left and right i can see light coming from behind) did about 6 hard resets and still same problem. also power button works whenever it wants to. this phone sucks @ss, i want my mogul back. on a second note my replacement will be here on wednesday.
Touch Pro stock rom purchased back in nov when it came out
yeah, i've had the same problem, i found if i hit my phone on the back or side and then batter pull and hit the soft reset while off, not the power button to turn it back on, it comes back on with color on the screen not just blank black screen with backlight, this works mostly every time, but when it doesn't, i just hold the power button down and do battery pull and hit the power button and it works, its like its got a combo of things you have to do before it works.. weird
Boot Up
I have also had similar problems. I for some reason sometimes have to remove my SD card and boot up without it for some reason. Not all the time, but every once in a blue moon. Not too sure how that affects anything, but you may try that too.
well i started a thread here ***help*** because i kinda have the same problem.
i downloaded some cabs, nothing fancy but i had some problems with a theme i downloaded. when i went to deleted i couldnt..... to make a story short, i took it to the sprint store where they tried to do a master reset/ hard reset and it wont take it. it wont do a thing... they say some important files are missing...
the phone works but not the way it should... the time on the home screen wont show up. and some other small things...
dont know how this happened but i would like to know... im worried about new programs to the phone now. ( getting a new one)
still want to see if i can fix this one.

Have you tried re flashing the ROM?
it wasnt HTC's fault for your phone's not booting...thats what happens when u try to mess with the hardware too much and you dont know what your doing
Would you want to sell???
Reboot Brick HTC process
****DOn't take battery out after hard boot***
1.just watch videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk56olMkCtU and do what they do but dont take battery out. LEAVE phone STUCK on BOOT screen. Nothign else will move or work but you want phone just like that.
2. connect usb cable to active sync. (this may not link up but leave usb connected anyhow) Do not delete phone profile.
3.use rom like Download MightyROM6_Herman.exe avail at: http://www.lilrico.com/Mighty/mightyromblog/?p=454
4 although active sync is still attatched but may not be connecting. It will connect thru usb anyway when you run the rom software. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV2I2WAFkg4&NR=1
This worked and kept phone from cutting on and off. and restored ROM. don't know about original htc boot. but your phone will work under this rom for now and you can go from there.
hey thanks plain ole dumb, it works now.
man I thought it was over.
thanks again
I didn´t really document it yet, but I have a strong feeling that the "sticky lockscreen" issue never appears when I am at home.
Today I was walking home from work and couldn´t unlock my phone, I let the screen go on and off for about 10 times, pressed every button multiple times, nothing helped, so I put it back in my pocket to reset it when i get home. At home it unlocked without a hitch. Tried it about 10 times again, not sticky at all.
And it is not a problem with the touchscreen, even if the locksreen doesn´t respond at all, like the device was completely frozen, you can still long press the power button and the menu that pops up reacts perfectly fine. Every time. I never had to take the battery out to reset when I couldn´t unlock it.
I used to think that it would have something to do with me forgetting to switch of WiFi, but that wasn´t the case.
Right now I am thinking that maybe it has something to do with location based services. But I turned off the cell tower based location service (GPS is always off) today and I still had the sticky lock, but only once so far and it worked on the second unlock attempt without shutting the screen on and off.
Right now I am on Froyo V1 and didn´t edit the build.prop yet. Which helped in 2.1 but didn´t make the problem completely dissappear.
I know there is a thread about this topic, but it is more about alternative lockscreens, this thread should be about finding out the cause of the problem.
I think it´s kind of funny but what helps on my streak when I can´t unlock is to turn off the dispay, shake the phone for a second, turning on the screen and it unlocks...when I´m not shaking it it sometimes wasn´t unlocking but it always unlocks after shaking it with screen turned off!
Servus! I´m gonna try that. Can´t do it now though, cause I am at home and it´s never sticky here
I work like 5 minutes walking distance from my home and I just tried it while walking to work and walking back home again.
At work, sometimes sticky, I guess about 20% of the times I try to unlock. At home 0%, between work and home 90%.
Just tried it out: Took it out of the pocket, tried to unlock, turned screen of, put it back in my pocket, walked 10 about meters, repeat...
Near work it wasn´t very sticky, but after 20 meters or so I only got it to unlock immediatly once. At home again, tried it 10 times, never got stuck even a bit.
Location service was already turned off, so was WiFi. 3G is always on.
since 2 days ago my fone started acting wierd, when i try typing a new messege i press on the keypad but the letters and numbers dont appear on the screen, my fone vibrates as i text but nothing comes up, it takes it 5-10+ minutes till i can finialy type a single text before it does that again. the same thing aplies to making fone calls, i swipe the screen to make the call, or try putting in the numbers thru the keypad, but nothing comes up, it takes a while for the fone to eventualy make that call if ever, the time on my fone stays falling behind by 10-30minutes, i downloaded a safe feature for my fone thats an antivirus, supposedly to be good, my firends use it, every time i run a scan nothing appears,i tun it off and wait a bit to turn it back on, only then does it not mess up for about 3 minutes then it messes up again. my sister told me she had a similar issue, and she was told to take off the battery for a bit of time and then put it back on, i do that but its the same as turning it off and back on, samme effect, can some one tell me what to do please, if anything at all, thanks to any one who replys back with any help. -Alex.

Restart Phone?
Factory reset?
Maybe, change ROMs
I'm not sure exactly what's the issue, but you could try the above said methods to see whether its a software issue, and if the problem stays the same, maybe its an hardware issue, and you maybe required to contact the Samsung Service Center.
The other day, I went to restart my phone (had to pull the battery, since it was nearly completely frozen,) and when I turned it back on, the screen flashed the HTC screen for a second, then went off. Everything else on the phone works fine. I can adjust the volume, receive notifications and texts, and use the touch screen.
Is this a hardware issue, where I would need to replace the screen, or did the software go screwy somewhere and could be fixed with an adb ROM flash? Thanks!
Try reflashing your rom.
If this doesn't help try another. Sometimes it's not working properly. So just try again.

I can try that through adb, although it was working mostly fine before the reset.
