Hello,
About two months ago I factory resetted and fully recharged my Acer Liquid MT.
Didn't use it for quite a while, but recently I wanted to but apparently the battery was empty meanwhile.
Charged it for hours but it didn't go on anymore (tried most basic stuff: changing battery, reset button etc)
Didn't show 'any sign of life' however. No screen, no sound, nothing at all.
Yesterday I did hold the Power Button and both Volume Buttons for a few seconds and it quickly vibrated a few times + one (normal) vibrate afterwards.
I think it isn't completely bricked since it did vibrate.
However, how am I going to be able to get this thing working again?
Many thanks in advance!
PS: Rooted, no custom ROM.
Edit
Forgot to mention, but my PC doesn't detect the phone anymore when connected to USB ...
i'm sorry...
it sounds your phone is bricked... i don't know how u could fix it

There is a liquid metal forum on modaco.com, maybe you should look there. If it was working before, maybe it fell down once or got some hardware fault? 3 vibrations were SD download mode AFAIK

No help from there really ...
Well it didn't fell down, it was fully charged & working, until I tried it later on
Ok, keep device manager opened, connect phone and power on with all the key combo's mentioned here and tell me what happens in device manager: what device is popping up etc.

Thanks for your interest in my problem.
The phone doesn't respond to any of the commands anymore.
Also, what do you mean with 'device manager' exactly?

It needs good charging as the battery has drained completely and will take time , may be couple of days. If it doesn't fix the problem then take it to a mobile shop and ask them to power charge it. It will fix the problem. I had the same issue with this phone...
I hope it helps...

Or just hit the Windows Key (next to Alt by the Spacebar) + the letter R together then type : devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
When the Device Manager is open and you plug in the device, you should see it blink out for a sec and reload and show you the device - probably will see a yellow warning symbol next to it - if so that means the PC sees it, just not loading the correct driver.

ive searched for things such as "sleep crash", "sleep bug", "screen wont turn on" etc. but can seem to find anything that tells me anything other than turn off wifi (which i tried to no avail). My issue is that when i press the power button for 1 second to turn off my archos 70 screen it will not turn back on. Same thing happens when i let it fall asleep. If i leave it plugged in and not allow it to turn off screen i have no issues. My apologies if i just don't know what words to search for ... i tried. In on the .4 firmware (latest) with no mods. This has happened through the last 3 firmwares from archos. Any ideas?
Have a you tried a full reinitialization (in settings > repair and formatting) and then reinstalling the latest firmware? If you have just been updating the firmware, the problem may have been deeper.
Thats strange... I have a similar issue with my 101: when i leave my tablet asleep for more than 20min, I can't turn it back on without doing a hard reset. Now it only happens when I simply shut off the screen and leave it alone. If I hold the power button and use deep sleep though, it works just fine. When I can't get it started I notice the little power light is on, but the screen stays black... any suggestions??
I have read somewhere in this forums that re-calibrating your screen from Settings might help, but I still didn't tied - if someone try please post results.

i had the same problem on my 32, albeit not that frequently. Downloading the FW and reflashing it seems to have made the problem go away.
You know what? Strangely enough after I replied to your post I downloaded the latest fw (2.1.4) and the problem seems to have gone away no special flash no repair I just installed and rebooted and so far no prob... I will keep testing this and post results
Edit* Ok so far so good... no problems. I'm actually surprised I'm getting better response from the device despite everyone's warnings about 2.1.4. But that's another topic. I think its just a bad install of your current FW, but I'm just guessing... My device has had the issue since I got it, I just decided to live with it but like I said the latest update fixed it... So it HAS to be the FW

err I'm afraid that I spoke too soo. My device keeps getting stuck and won't awake from sleep. This seems to happen most after switching wifi on or off, specifically whilst the device is playing music.

how are you installing the firmware? maybe im doing it wrong. I let the device update to latest 2.1.4 and then i wiped it via the settings and repair menu in android.
Edit**
like this??:
Step 1: Download the android 2.2 firmware for your archos tablet from here,you might a get a false positive notification from your browser as they are unaware of .AOS format, so ignore that and download it.
Step 2:Go to Menu > Settings > Device Storage & USB connection > USB connection mode of your tablet and set the connection mode to Mobile Media Device (MTP) and now connect your Tablet to pc.
Step 3:Now when the tablet is detected you will see a hard drive icon,double tap and open it and copy and paste the firmware (.AOS) file into the hard drive(make sure you dont copy it in any folder inside it like Music,Videos etc).
Unplug the USB connection and the Archos device will automatically locate the update file and will prompt you for the update,just follow the screen options and you are done,if it does not prompt you for an update then you might have accidentally misplaced the file in one of the folders,just locate the .AOS file from the file manager and and open it to start the update.
No no it wasn't that complicated... It was actually the simplest fix for a difficult problem. My device when I got it was running 2.1.2 out the box... Even then It had the screen problem. When I got the chance I installed 2.1.3 OVER THE AIR. Straight from Archos. Still had the issue though, I figured it would have been fixed but was greatly disappointed... Then I sort of just lived with the problem for awhile... I saw that the 2.1.4 update was released but was wary about downloading it because sooo many people are having issues. Just the other day though, the device cut off on me again and I figured to hell with it... So I downloaded the 2.1.4 OTA as well... no website, no manual install, I just let the device run its course on its own. After the update, it rebooted normally and it's been working great since... Sorry to hear not everyone is so fortunate... I really hope this helps somewhat

Well, not sure if there are any other options for our phone, but issue one would be the fact that we don't have any physical buttons on our phone.

Turn on your phone, restart, or hot restart > as soon as you see boot animation hold down volume down button. Keep it held until you get a long vibrate. After the vibrate you can let go. You should be in safe mode then.
To get out of it you can hot restart.

I think he means on the face of the device. Like, the old HTC Hero has physical buttons for home, menu, etc and a trackball .

A WORD OF CAUTION TO ALL ...
I tried this when I was having trouble connecting to my SDcard via USB and it did work, BUT... for some reason, it completely wiped out all of my widgets and home screen shortcuts.
Maybe this is an isolated problem with my phone, but be aware of this possibility before you proceed.

Did you have that issue after you exited safe mode? I remember that after I exited safe mode on my thunderbolt everything returned to normal.
I booted into safe mode once by accident, same thing, everything on the home screens was almost like a factory default, rebooted and it was fine again, everything came back to normal... Pretty sure Safe Mode on the Rezound is just like in Windows, it essentially just skips a bunch of custom and non-essential startup configuration parameters.

All the widgets and shortcuts were gone after I rebooted into normal mode. The same thing happened once before but I was in the middle of trouble-shooting some issues so I dismissed it as a system glitch.
Hello everyone,
I dont know if there is anyone who can help me out, as I've seen quite a few posts about this subject already.. but none worked for me.
What happened: Last night when I set my alarm I got an update from Nokia and I accepted the install, when the phone rebooted it was spinning gyros and then the sad face.
What I've tried: Hard Reset(Volume Down + Power + Camera), Soft Reset(Volume Down + Power) - tried a few tricks where I had to connect the phone to my PC but I had no luck there as my phone does not seem to want to make contact with my pc.
I've made a small video where I demonstrated the resets and all. notice the weird line at ~0.12. Here an image. This is not just on the film it happens pretty often.

Use Nokia Care Suite recovery option. It'll re-flash the latest ROM for your phone.

But I cant seem to be able to make contact with my PC, it can only charge up, when its "charged"(minimum) it gets back to the spinning gears :/
Or I just dont understand how to connect it or something.. just the regular way right? MiniUSB to USB port?

Hi everyone...
Some days ago, i was trying, OmniROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544790). I follow all the steps and even get the superSU app going. One night, y saw how my nightly got updated, and in the morning, start to reboot randomly. If I push the power botton sometimes, doesn´t appear the blockscreen but the screen with the reboot option and turn off appear...
I put my cellphone back to stock with root using SuperOneClick from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081. Then, I format my sd card and internal storage...The problem persist...
I would like that someone help me, I'm tryin everything and didn't solve it...
Based on your description, it sounds like a hardware issue -more specifically, a failing power button.
I have read that some users were able to fix the issue by disassembling the phone and spraying out the switch with contact cleaner, and I have read that others had the power switch replaced altogether.
Hopefully others will chime-in with their thoughts.

Hit the home button 3 times to off universal switch mode
I tried pressing the home button, but it is not working for me. Maybe the nova launcher intercepts the home button. Ahhh.. I don't want to format my phone. I also tried rebooting it, now I am locked out of my phone..
Update: I found the solution. Just use an OTG and Connect a mouse to disable the feature..
I had the same issue @Keitri
tried all solution like soft rest and run it in safe mode, and run recovery mode and wipe cache partition but no success
could you help me inn the problem and explain how did you overcome the issue?

Sorry for the late reply. Just connect a usb mouse using the OTG cable. From there you can disable the universal switch.
it works with OTG cable + mouse
