And today when i got to work i turned it off then on my break i picked it up and it was on and the gps was searching for my location....dont know why
Are you rooted, and if so, what rom are you using?

nope...i mean i bought the phone used but i just did the OTA 2.1 update so even if they did root that should cancel it out right? and it doesnt turn on all the time, only once and awhile.
Sounds like there could be a problem with the power button. Ki know mine is super sensitive. Seems like if I barely brush against it, my phone will turn on. Maybe see if you can get it replaced under the factory warranty.

I dont believe its the power button cuz i set it down in my locker at work and one time i watched it power off then turn right back on and it was just sitting there..
I dunno. Have you tried a factory reset?

Does anyone have a picture of a Bricked Eris I just want to see what the screen shows when it is.

Only bricked eris I know of, are ones that won't turn on. Long as you can get to teh bootloader, the odds are that you can fix it.
only replying because I need 8 to get past some noob rules. geez.
i thought i bricked my phone once when i was messing with SetCPU, and set the processor at ~900mhz to see how high it will go (long time ago) LOL... made my phone turn white and turn off. i turn it back on it would load, but once finished it would turn off again. had to turn on the phone in bootloader (i dont remember the buttons to press and hold) and re-flash... but thats when i stopped F-ing with over clocking...
Hello.
I got this phone a week ago and since the beginning I had this problem that the phone would not start right away when I press the power button.
It shows a loading circle on the screen and then a grey battery sign and then the phone just goes off.
The battery is full.
The same thing happens all time when I keep pressing the button.
Then after removing the battery and keep trying to turn on the phone, it will turn on randomly.........
It takes alot of time to turn on the phone and its very annoying.
I currently have Nero 3, but I am sure I had this problem on 2.1 stock aswell.
Can someone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks.
EDIT: I just plugged in the USB into the phone and it started charging the phone, and then I pressed the power button and it turned on. But it is not that there is no charge in the phone that is causing the issue, the charge is showing full when the phone was turned on.....
do you only have this issue cutting the phone on when plugged into the usb/power cable?
I only turn my phone on when not plugged in, no issues at all. It is hard when it's plugged in though, I notice I have to hold down the power button a long time.
I just had something like this happen tonight. My phoned started saying usb connected, then the media scanner, then usb connected etc....strange part is...I wasn't plugged into anything. I turned off the phone and it wouldn't turn back on. I got the loading circle twice then nothing. I had to plug it in and turn it on then unplug it for it to boot up right. Seems to be working now, but I want to know what caused it...

reset your phone, see if that changes anything. If not, Root, DL ROM manager and flash nero v3 then enable voodoo =)
Its amazing.
I think adfree is the culprit. Reverted and installed, and it's gone...

I still have the problem, I have rooted, odin back to stock, tried everything and still this is happening.
The only way to turn the phone back on when it is power off, is the insert a usb cable into it, which is connected to the computer and then hold the power button and then it will turn it.
Else, it will just keep showing that circle thing with the battery sign.
Any solution to fix this?
odin back to stock and start all over
I had to send mine in for a replacement. Sounds like everyone I have heard with this problem had to do the same.

Ok sorry if this has already been discussed but I'm kinda in a hurry. I'm having an issue where if I tell the phone to reboot or even power off, it will just turn off and not come back up without a battery pull. Last time I told it to reboot (fastboot off btw), it turned off, then the red led came on for a few seconds, then it just stayed off. I've noticed that the only way around this is to pull the battery and then try to boot it up, which works fine but is annoying as hell. Is this a common issue or what, trying to get some opinions on whether or not to try to exchange it before I get off work and go outta town.
Try a factory reset. Still no luck, then take it back

Well, I hanging on to this 3VO for right now at least, still hoping to hear from more people. Actually, I hope this isn't a real problem with the 3D's in general and that mine is a somewhat isolated incident. Bad comes to worse, I swap for a new one or the GS2 at the end of the month.
I had that problem for a day on mine, and after that it never happened again.

Oddly enough, same here I think. It happened a couple times during the first 2 days maybe and hasn't done it since... weird...
Mine was having the problem where if I restarted it would just power down. Then it got to where I had to pull the battery to get it to turn back on. Took it back yesterday.

I really hope i dont have to return my phones... My wife mentioned it to me that her phone wasnt rebooting any more when she presses restart an i tried it on mine an it wont do it any more either. Maybe its just a update
I have the same problem after restarting I had to pull battery. I think its just a bug the phone works perfect other than that.

Is anyone else experiencing sleep of death problem. Phone goes to sleep mode but doesnt wake up...sometimes the green light also flashes....
Ok...it doesn't seem to be a rom problem..I am on stock now and it did it again...
but I had my wifi to always on and right now i dont have a sim card so maybe they are factors...I will try to have the wifi not always on and try..

Never had this. Sometimes i don't press the "turn on" button hard enough, but it's obviously a different issue.
Hmmm...its weird...But i have been doing some research and some people seem to get a similar problem...
to make matters worse..one time when i pressed the turn on button it restarted...
Have you tried to recover to stock 2.3.4 with data wipe?
If that doesn't help - could be a hardware issue. (the turn on button got messed up)
i have this problem too..
And i have to use a charge only cable on wall charge or laptop..
With moto stock cable the phone dont start, on the laptop, neither on the wall charger

So I put it on air plane mode and had wifi always on. This time it didn't just freeze when i pressed the power button. the green led in the front went on for a few seconds and it restarted. I didnt have it connected.
I am using the latest stock fruitcake and the phone is unlocked and rooted.
Any ideas about whats going on?

This is really odd. The only time I ever had issues similar to this was when I left wifi on while using kholk's kernels, but since you are using stock then its not that.... Try keeping wifi off while you sleep it and see what happens.
OK....i think it is definitely the wifi...because i had it in airplane mode and it did not shut off.... so I am guessing the wifi is over heating or something....
Any known solutions for this apart from having the wifi turn off with the screen?
Most of these "Freddy Kruger" type bugs went away for me when I changed my battery settings to "performance mode"...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I will try with performance mode...so far no sleep of death or restarts
OK guys...a quick update...
It definitely seems to happen when i have wifi on all the time. I used green power to turen off and on wifi periodically and it seem to stop the sleep of deaths and random restarts.
I started using cm7 today..lets see if it stops this from happening. fingers crossed.
thanks you for all the help.

but i didnt use the wifi Atrix also has the sleep-death and random restart issue.
omfg i bought a random bomb
i want to buy a new phone no more Motorola again in my rest life!!!!!!!!
I get this occasionally too on CM7 with a T-mob UK Atrix. Haven't noticed any common denominator personally but I nearly always have wifi on.
Ditto on stock Froyo Orange UK. In performance mode, wifi on/off doesn't seem to be the root cause for me. Hoping that it will improve when I get Gingerbread (probably in 2014 *sigh*)
Ok so my grandparents have a tablet and it was working great for about two weeks but today my grandmother turned it off, and later tried to turn it on but it wont turn on.

Ya, sounds like you are getting the SOD (Sleep of Death) that is if she didnt actually turn it off but just thought she did, anyways it wont hurt to try
To get it to power up you need to hard reset it, hold down the power button and volume down at the same time for around 8 secs or so, basically just keep it held down until you see the Samsung splash screen, it should restart normally, if it happens again which it probably will just rinse and repeat
Just wait and get it exchanged, if they agreed to change it then there's really no need to go meddling around with it and possibly voiding the warranty
Yeah known issue on the 10.1 Tab, had it aswell very often but on HC 3.1 and when the tab is it's docking (keyboard).
Now with updating to 3.2 oddly enough never happens anymore.
What I did indeed was to hold the power button untill the tab restarted.
Ok thanks guys helped a bunch
