Hello!!
I´m desperate, only two days with my razr and after the first time I turned off for sleeping, I wake up and the droid looks like doesn´t detect the sim card and reboot after more or less 30 seconds. Boots itself and do the same again and again.
Does anyone know what happens?
Thanks!
Tryholding the Power button and both volume buttons a the same time, you should be able to get into recovery mode, wipe the device from there.
I had a similar issue with my lumia 800. After swearing for two days, it was because of a defective microsim....

Excactly the same thing happened to me, reboots and no SIM, so now it's in the shop.
Try turning wifi off, then reboot. Simcard should be recognised. Its one of a couple of bugs.

i've had the phone for about 7 days and everything was fine until tonight when i tried to use my phone. the phone won't power on anymore.
i plugged it in for a couple of hours and it still didn't turn on. the battery wasn't low when it died. i also tried holding the volume down button then powering on. I even tried plugging it into the usb. i don't know what else to do.:crying:
is it rooted or unlocked? if so which freegee is it unlocked with? you could always join the irc channel for some help. it may be faster through that

Return it.

My brother actually has a completely stock one and is complaining if the same problem to me. I just told him to return it for a new one. Mine is rooted + unlocked and not suffering from any problems. Possibly a hardware problem or overheating?
My friend just had the same issue this morning,
the phone was very hot and wouldn't turn on.
we tried pressing pwr+voldown and nothing happened. then tried pwr+volup and it then showed the LG log but as soon as we let go of any of the button the logo disappears and nothing else happens.
charging also didn't help
*his phone is un-rooted. So i told him to contact Rogers wireless.

Sounds like a soft brick. Happened to me a few times. Tell him not to worry. LGNPST would fix this.
Edit: didn't see that it was unrooted. Yeah I think you told him the right thing. That shouldn't happen if he hasn't done anything to his phone.
I have had this happen several times.
If you press (or hold) the power button, do you see a cheap white "battery charging" animation?
I can't say exactly what, or why, it works, but keep at it. I think the magic trick is to hold the power until the LG logo has appeared and the boot animation is about to (or has) started.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but I was panic stricken every time. If this is happening to you, then you understand what I mean.
I hope this helps someone. This phone seems to be full of issues... I'm just hoping the software it's the cause, and not the hardware.

Same problem for me, phones stops responding unexpectedly, could be that it's power-off by itself but in order to power-on it I need to press power button for a long time ~30 sec. I was thinking that it's because of SnowJB custom Rom but it seems not, the strange thing that it starts only few days ago and appeas almost every day. May be it's needed to format internal or external SD card to fix it?

All depends on what the "deadness " is......
Could be dead dead, or could be screen dead in which case stuff is happening but you can't see anything happening.
If you have already had device connected to a computer that has the appropriate drivers installed (talking windows here) open device manager on the computer then connect the tab and see what, if anything happens and might be detected... That would show tab is working but you cannot see it... If nothing happens immediately once it's plugged in, take a fairly long press on power button and see if anything is detected then. A long press on power button (15 sec+) would put tab in apx mode which actually shows nothing on screen but again device manager would show it (this is used for nv flash). At least this way you'll know if it's dead dead or "just" something else...
Btw eushaun99 is a great and helpful dude here and has my respect but I think he gave you a bum steer via a typo with his button pressing...I think he meant press power button and volume down for boatloader, not "power and power" as he wrote, so that is worth a try also... Am I ok with that eushaun99?

Thanks, you are also a very helpful person on the Q&A section and definitely have my respect as well. Unfortunately, I can't help this guy so it would be very kind of you to take over from here.
You're right, its volume down, not power down. Oops

I have same issue too. My GT7500 starts only if I warm it till >45°C using a hairdryer or putting it under the sun (here in Italy very hot). But it's only for a normal boot, not in case of reboot when it goes all fine.

That sounds to me like the battery is tired, very tired and needs some help to produce current required, or a faulty connection somewhere. Once the tab is running the whole unit would tend to self heat so will reboot ok. Most fails are the opposite and are heating faults which is why someone came up with freezing sprays to track down which circuit comes back to life when cooled. Have you noticed any reduction of time that battery lasts between charges ?
Ciao

No, it didn't change. This thing lasts since november and it's very annoying 'cause I have to pay much attention to not shut my tab off, elseway I have to get the hairdryer again and so on...

What does it do/not do when it doesn't start? Blank screen? Nothing? Bootloop? Freezes?
sent from my still superb Google I/O 7510 (xda hd)
Nothing at all. I keep the power button while warming the tab and when it decides it's enough it starts with the normal boot screen (samsung galaxy tab etc.)

Went to restart the phone and now it appears to be completely dead. Won't switch on, and is completely unresponsive to any input: usb, hard reset switch, power etc. I have plugged in the phone to a computer as well and there is no "usb detected" on screen or anything. Is it reasonable to assume that this phone is fully bricked?
Did you try th red boton near the SIM card?

Try holding the power button for an extended time period. You can also do a ftf stock firmware.

Holding the button for over a minute does nothing, and the phone is simply not detected by any computer I plug it into. The orange LED doesn't even come on when I plug it into a charger :/
Possible that the battery went completely flat? Try plugging it into an AC wall charger for at least 6 hours and see if anything happens.

My wife's Z went dead during an update via PC Companion (light went out), and it didn't boot or show any life sign.
I used the Sony PC Service (only for PC), restored the phone to the original FW and all went well, nothing was deleted from it. Try it and see...

Hello, I am having problems with my Atrix since I bought it.
It works great, but sometimes it powers down by its own, and then it takes many tries at the power button to get it running back again.
This also happens when I power it down, and sometimes when I connect the USB cable.
I have to repeatedly press the power button until it powers back on. I like the phone, and I really need it, so I would like to know what I can do.
Thanks
Did you try with another battery?
Yes I did, I actually have another Atrix and both batteries work well with that one
Same problem here.
Well I have the same problem with my Atrix too. Hope someone help us
Sounds like a hardware issie, when the phone shut down itself, it is hot?
What happens if when it powers off, you remove the battery, wait about a minute and try again?

I dismantled the Atrix and found nothing, when I was putting it back together, I tried to power it on to be sure nothing was left unpluged. And it powered immediately. When I finished arming it again, the problem returned, so I assume it has to do with a bad contact.
Anyhow, I ended selling it, and buying another one.
[Q] Please help! Stuck in Bootloop, power button "stuck", no download mode!!
I believe this has to do with the phone thinking the power button is constantly being pressed...
I'm looking for any advice. My s3 suddenly went into a boot loop this morning. It powers on for a few seconds and turns itself back off.. Doing a little research, came across similar issues online caused by the main board going faulty and the phone thinking the power button is constantly being held down.
I know this because I can remove my battery, put it back in, and without even touching any buttons, the phone will attempt to power up.
I'm currently rooted and can't get into download mode for more than 3-5 seconds before it turns itself off. I was only once able to apply the perfect pressure by squeezing the side of the phone which allowed it to boot normally, but about 30 seconds later, the power menu appeared by itself and it turned off a few seconds later.
Has this happened to anyone else?? Anybody know how to go about fixing it??
Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 utilizzando Tapatalk
When you take out the battery, wait for a few seconds before putting it back in. If it turns on automatically then this might be hardware issue and needs repair.
Yes,it turns on automatically...i have disassembled the phone and checked the power buttom and it seems to work right,i can't understand where is the problem
Edit. OK,the problem is that the power buttom is hyper sensitive..can i do something to reduce the sensibility?

Is the power button known for wearing out on the phone? I take good care of my s3 afaik. Maybe it's time for a new phone.... =(

Happens from time to time. Maybe if it dropped or been pressed too many times.
