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 am using CM7 latest weekely every thing is perfect but now suddenly my phones screen turns on like call is coming and turns back off after 2 sec and this happens randomly.
is this expected behavior?
is there any work around?
My fiancee has an atrix that is totally stock and hers just started doing this yesterday. I would also like to know the answer to this. I was thinking it was a hardware issue with the power button but hopefully i am wrong, that way I dont have to mess with a warranty exchange. Any help would be appreciated.
by any chance have u just start using this app "Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer" if yes then this might be the one, i have just messed around in its settingsd and no screen wakup problems so far

No. The only apps that I think might cause this that I have on her phone is beautiful widgets and a data toggle. She has had these apps on there for awhile and the phone just started to act up.

Both me and my brother own atrix and it happens on both.It was happening on stock 2.3.4 and now on cm7 as well it must be something with the phone not a rom related issue
i also have beautiful widgets, can sk8trix conform that his and his brother phone have this app too. if yes then this might be the cause. or we have to tell each other whole list of apps that we have installed to narrow down the culprit.
On her phone I have all of her apps that are supposed to sync turned off. I recently installed data enabler for her so she would have a data toggle on her home screen. I use advanced task manager to kill her apps by force stopping them. Last night I used it and closed everything and turned her screen off. 5 minutes later it come on for about two seconds and shut off. I have been looking at what apps might be causing this and really dont see anything unusual except for the data enabler and beautiful widgets. I will uninstall both of those and report back later on to let you know the result. Hopefully someone else will come along with a better solution.

I don't use beautiful widgets ever.....I even tried with a clean install no apps installed except stock cm7 apps and google apps and it still happened so I gave up trying to figure it out.
it doesn't shorten my battery life at all so I don't worry however if there is a fix I will use it because it is annoying.
Edit the only time the phones wake up by themselves is right after we hit the power button to turn the screen off or when the phone firat boots and is still locked it will turn the screen off and turn it back on the dim again.
I dont think its cm7 issue cos i was at weekly # 4 and there was no issue then i flashed tuch recovery and after that boot it started happening. Then i flashed latest weekely and reverted back to old recovery. And i agree this only happen when i turn screen off (randomly)
OK here is where I am at now with this problem. I uninstalled both apps and it seems to be ok for the time being, but my fiancee told me she had been receiving weird messages in her notification bar. I looked into it and she was getting ads in her notification bar. So I downloaded AirPush Detector from the market and ran a scan on her phone and it detected a couple of apps pushing notifications. I got rid of the apps and now im back to checking the phone again. I dont know if that AirPush app would help you guys out or not but it would hurt to try.
since i have started this thread my problems have gone away like a little *****, and i dont know how to recreate this problem any more so i am stuck with no problem no solution thing.
12 hrs passed no problem so far.
It was apps in the background running. Airpush helped. I told her from now on no more free apps, i would rather buy them then fight this **** again. I put the data toggle and beautiful widgets back on her phone and it's ok. Thanks for your guys input.

I am having The same problem with my Samsung Galaxy ace Gt-5830i.
Earlier it had problems with charging and SD card. So we took it to authorized service center. And they said they had formatted the phone and installed stock ROM on it. They also replaced the charger port. But now after two days the phone screen is turning on and off at repeated intervals (for about 2 Seconds). So what might be the problem.
Hello all, I've noticed that my S3 gets considerably slow after a few days of not shutting it down. For example, after a reset, tapping home will immediately take me to the launcher, everything reacts immediately, there's absolutely no lag, however, after about 2 or 3 days, things start getting slow, the launcher needs to reload everything whenever I press home, apps don't seem to stay in the memory and have to reload as well. Like I mentioned, restarting the phone fixes everything, and I was even thinking of setting up a Tasker action to restart the phone ad midnight or so every one or two days, but I wanted to know if this could be because of a single app that's being faulty, or normal behavior. Any and all replies are appreciated!

My Xperia Go has recently developed a strange issue that I'm trying to figure out how to fix.
Periodically the screen will not turn on. When pressing the power button nothing happens except the Home, Menu and Back buttons flash for a split second. It can stay like this for hours and then start working again. I have tried performing hard resets when the issue happens. The phone vibrates like you would expect, but the screen still stays off.
Has anyone else seen this issue and know if it is a software issue or hardware?

Happened to me more than once flashing all kind of strange ROMs and apps, and messing with my phone.
Backup your phone and do factory data reest and see if the problem persists.
It could be hardware related but more likely it's just software.

Had a go at this at the weekend. Did a full backup and a full restore using Sony PC Companion. The phone worked perfectly until last night then it displayed the same problem.
Possibly unrelated, but I did notice that after the restore none of the photo thumbnails are showing in the Album app even though the pics are there. You can tap in the empty space in the app and pics will load. Secondly, it restored my Outlook.com account, but not the entry for it under Accounts in the Settings menu. Consequently I can't cange any settings for that account. So I've managed to introduce another couple of issues for my trouble!
I'm leaning to this more being a hardware fault now, unless anyone else can suggest otherwise?

If flash fixed it, it can't be hardware. Any new apps/mods installed?
Restore only the assentials (contacts/call log) the rest set manually and see how it goes.
Take a logcat next time it happen maybe you'll see something there.
I have same problem on sola and reflashing roms really helped me toi, but only for 1 day. I guess it's digitizer issue.
Hello Everyone. I have my new Samsung S6 Edge about 3 weeks now. It worked flawlessly the first week and a half but lately I've been getting an intermittent problem with the sensitivity of the touchscreen and it is very annoying. I have to swipe, touch a letter (if texting), or touch an icon, multiple times before it will execute the touch. Sometimes it seems as if it is in slow motion where the execution responds 4 to 5 seconds after the touch. There has not been any new software added and I always close out of any running programs.
I have tried all of the following to which none had any effect:
a) Restarting the phone by using the on/off key dialog box
b) Shutting it down for a couple of minutes and starting it again
c) Using Samsung's method to restart the phone by holding the on/off key and down volume key simultaneously
After a day and a half of frustration I was ready to take it back to my mobile supplier when it all of a sudden starting working properly after checking to see if my phone volume was at the maximum volume by hitting the up volume button. It worked well for about 3 days and then started to do the same thing. So again, I played with the volume down and up buttons until the touchscreen sensitivity worked.
I'm currently having the same issue again which prompted me to post this message. Playing with the up and down volume keys seem to help it at a ratio of about 7 out of 10 times. I've searched the web but haven't found anyone else with the same issues. A look at the Applications Manager under Running apps, System is taking up 1.1 GB, Apps taking up 530 Mb, leaving 0.99 GB of free memory.
Any suggestions? Maybe I should be taking it back for a hardware replacement?
Thanks for listening.
OK, so now I've come to the conclusion that hitting the volume up key was just a fluke although It seemed to help sometimes. S6 touchscreen returned to normal again yesterday afternoon. It just comes and goes which makes it rather difficult to show a mobile technician. I'll have to wait until it malfunctions again before taking it in to a Samsung Repair shop.
Me too....
I have subscribed to this thread, in hopes of finding some clues, because I too, have noticed the same exact behavior that OP described and was searching for a remedy/explanation. Also, had the volume up and seemed to somewhat fix it, but like OP said it is sporadic. I, by accident in trying to clear the cache, completely blew away my phone and had to rebuild my phone as I had before and even after a complete reset, I still have the same behavior.
Hi Chris, I stumbled across another interesting behaviour. While the phone is acting up, if you press and hold the UP Volume key (keeping it depressed) you will be able to scroll and press icons as normal. As soon as you let go of the volume key, the issue continues.
This is a link to a video I uploaded today to You Tube that shows exactly the issue I am having.

Just saw your vid, looks like yours is more pronounced than mine (non-Edge btw) and happens once in a while and then it goes away - I am hoping it isn't progressive. I can't seem to identify what triggers the sluggish behavior. I typically clear all apps from the recent apps as a matter of my normal operation in all my previous smartphones. When I notice it the most is when pulling down the notification center and either nothing happens or I have to pull down the shade all the way down for it to stick, otherwise it slides back up.

for me it's much better..still think it's also the memory problem..as around a half day all is fine..than the lag starts..
Took the phone to a Samsung Repair Shop today. Turns out the LCD display was malfunctioning. It took them 1.5 hours to repair and replace under warranty. Hopefully I won't have anymore issues with it

Yes, I did that same thing, and it did help a LOT.. however after the latest update (I have the Edge+) the issue returned.. did it again, and it "fixed" it, but for how long?
And why is this happening??
