Could you elaborate more about what this screen is?
If you had it you would know what I'm talking about for sure.
If you were just asking in general. It all appears to be a screen that gives you an option to go into download mode after your phones hardware resets. Phone boots into it.
I got a black Demigod screen on my old phone Friday. It was the proverbial straw on a phone that was rebooting itself daily - I exchanged it on the weekend.
The black screen was, I believe, for a kernel panic. I got the same 3 options: Download mode, reboot to normal and something else...
Does your phone get poor battery life. Does it make noise when you squeeze it? I wonder if all these issues are related. You should have your phone replaced. My phone does not give me any of the problems people are talking about
the best phone ever
Yep, I got the yellow screen this morning. I was like WTF is this? Rebooted and all is fine now. We'll see how long it lasts. Any idea what causes this?

Was told in irc that its a mode the phone goes into that allows jtag over usb. If it does it again im just taking this one back too. Everything seems normal after a reboot for me too, something is changing when it happens though because my hosts file reset both times.
Both times it happened i was on sk8s kernel. But i havent seen anyone else on it say anything about it and i was on sk8s on my old phone too and it didnt do it.

All I've done is root, unlock and removed bloat. No other mods on my end so it can't be due to sk8s kernel.

They definitely know more. No doubt about it. At least we know one thing. I got it on stock while others got it on a ROM. So I'd assume that it's a hardware issue or an issue that's buried in the software. See, I just covered all the bases. Lol

one of the devs had it happen to his rooted freegeed stock too. he was the main one telling me it is software.

Stock ROM, rooted, and unlocked. Never happened until today, which was the first time I did a restore with TWRP - I debloated too much.
Rebooted and seems fine now.

Is all fine and dandy until you miss an alarm.
I just got the Demigod screen too.
All I've done to my phone is root it and unlock it with FreeGee.
EDIT: I had noticed that the phone was acting somewhat strangely the past couple days (slow response, screen not turning on when I press the power button, multitasking screen not appearing/not responsive). Now it seems alright even though I had rebooted the phone prior to the Demigod screen to try and resolve these issues.

Hello all,
I have been flashing a number of ROMs for a while now, and I decided to settle for EWJET ZeamEx V010ex temporarily as it is beautifully well rounded Stable aand has all the features working i.e. Camera, GPS...etc without FCs.
So I had been using EWJET for 2 weeks, when one day I picked it up to check my Whatsapp messages. It was really slow and laggy, which happens sometimes no biggie. Then it got slowwer and sllooowwer and super sluggish. (slow frame rate and you can see the vertical lines as the screen changes) And finally froze...Completely. Waited for a bit with no response then removed batt. Put batt back in, Nothing. plugged in, nothing. I was sad... very very sad as I have got so attached to this thing. With all these excellent Devs and their ROMs in development .
Anywhooo, now a few days later. (I had the battery out ever since it died) I put it back in and tried for the heck of it and guess what it Vibrated! the way it does when you turn it on. It was stuck in a boot loop though. Hit it with PC companion. back to 2.1 stock. flashed a couple of ROMS. Trip's froyo and Iris. was running fine!
BUT it happened a few times already where it dies like it did before with no response what so ever. I have to take out the batt for a lil over a few mins (hard reset). then it responds. Sometimes it goes all the way and loads fine and other it's just stuck in a boot loop and I have to either wipe everything and stock it. Mind you I'm not doing anything crazy on the phone. either texting, browsing..etc
Could it be the undervolting for the EWJET ROM? doesn't make sense but maybe. I did stock it a few times already though.
Sorry for the long post wanted to include as much info as could be helpful.
Any ideas? Any one?
I'm really not ready to give up this phone!
Thanks in advance!
just flash back to stock and exchange it for a new one with your warrenty

Yeah I want to do that but wont be able to for at least a couple of months as I am away from home. So was hoping I can remedy the problem temporarily. Maybe someone had similar issues.
As for getting the phone wet, Negative. It happened out of no where. I started working again n been using it perfectly. Today, it worked the whole day fine then at night I received a call. after I was done I hit end and it Froze there. power button would turn the screen on and off but nothing else. took out the batt and its been dead ever since. I'll check n see if any of my friends might have gotten it wet while using it though.
Anyone have similar issues?
Sounds like a faulty phone to me, when my phone turns itself off and doesn't want to turn on i take the battery out/in and this always solves the problem ._.
you could have a proximity sensor issue. if you get a chance to charge your battery, I recommend you take off your screen protector, sounds weird, but it might help

Thanks for the tip. I'm actually not using a screen protector. Never liked the feel of them.
It's dead now and not even responding to the charger.
Oh well, seems like I'll have to wait a couple of months to see if i can get it fixed/replaced. Dang guess I'm gonna pull my W850i from the darkness temporarily. Hahaha
Thanks for the help all.
it has a stock screen protector, look REALLY close at the corner! :-D use a razor or knife to take it off, TRUST me, you wont scratch it, it is COMPLETELY scratch resistant!

try wall charger, usb charger on computer, wall usb converter, and if all else fails, download flashtools, and in the'drivers' folder, there is 'Gordons Gate drivers' install that on your computer and the usb should work.

Nope, Still no response from phone.
I don't know about the screen protector though. I see it. but I don't feel comfortable removing it. And it seems like I wouldn't be able to put it back.
Any ideas?
I was in TWRP at the main menu, instead of clicking power off, I pulled the battery to replace the sd card with another. Now it will not power up, when I plug it in..no red light?

This happened to me about a week ago. Charging it was what fixed it.
If charge it doesn't fix go to a sprint store and let them charged the battery the did the trick for.my EVO 4G once the happened, for.some reason the battery seems dead when is nor really dead
MGS on my iPad
Maybe check the battery connectors dood. I know some htc models have problems with those.
Coz i just saw it in 3D with the Shooter!
mines not powering up either.. Never turned it off, woke up this morning & it was off. Not powering up. been on charger all night
happens all the time to me. i know its a flaw, but ive learned to NEVER let my battery go all the way dead. If i see it get around 5-10% ill just put in on airplane mode til i can get to a charger. Also if you battery is very low, turning it off or pulling the battery will cause it to get an attidude and not turn back on for 15-20 min
Yeah, I have been having lots of "attitude" from my battery or power button or on/off code or whatever is making these things not want to power on reliably.... Not to mention the random charge-light-on-wont-turn-on antics. Has been happening more and more frequently and nothing i do works reliably so I just try them all until one works.
I can't have this. This morning I woke up to a locked phone, screen off, green light on, won't turn on.... And totally dead battery while plugged in? Good thing my nook is so reliable as an alarm clock or I might have been in deep **** at work.
It's not the rom or kernel... I've tested everything. I think it's deeper than that. I might not be able to wait for the nexus-prime.... Sgs2 might have to do.

I've seen a lot of these posts. I usually never let mine get in the amber even but I recently flashed viper rom so i wanted to do a battery calibration...meaning..reset stats from full charge..then use it till it dies. After reading these posts I realized mine hadnt died on me any yet. After 16 hours of heavy abuse (12 hours of normal music streaming, calls, text, web surfing etc...and 4 hours of just playing youtube video's with all radio's on trying to kill the damn thing) it finally croaked. Worked just fine though.
Maybe something to do with certain shipments. I've seen a lot of posts on htis but no one ever puts out a batch number or anything. Perhaps all the ones having issues came from a similar batch...and have some designation of affiliation with said batch. Just a though..if we could discover some trend in this...perhaps they'd consider acknowledging it and helping users with issues...or at least help new comers to the thread avoid particular troublesome ones.

i think it has something to do with the non HTC s-off method. But im right with you. As soon as Sprint releases the s2 this 3D is going straight to ebay. I love it, but the signal weakness and power problems are MAJOR things that I cant take much longer

It did this before I did s-off.... Admittedly not as much, but it also hadn't done it any more afterwards.... Until a week or so ago, and it just seems to be getting worse. I have an unmodified eng hboot and radio, I doubt that there are remnants of revolutionary that would get progressively worse over time....but I have no idea honestly.

Agreed. I stopped into my local radio Shack two days before release to play with their demo unit.... Turned on... Played with 3D... Turned off... Never came back on again, ever. Tried everything.

AWFUL signal strength. actually, worse Ive ever had on a phone.
my EVO never came back. I was at 60% batt life when I put on charge last night & was dead ass hell this morning.. no life at at.. Sprint tech took it apart it said the phone apears like new, just lifeless. swapped battery with 3 others, no good. So I figured it would be a long shot but I took it back to the store I got it from 36 days ago.. & Explained what happen.. Swapped me out with another one right then & there!..
BTW this is my 5th NEW Evo3D. thats sad...
I plugged my phone in the car charger earlier and noted I had 49% battery left. I drove an hour and when I took the phone off the charger it was turned off. I'm not rooted or anything. This is my first Android phone. Would Android be considered less stable than ios?(which is what I've used for years)

That same problems happens to me when i unplug it or even just wake it up from sleep. It doesnt do it too often like it did when i first got it but im sure it will be fixed with a software update. All you gotta do is restart the phone hold down the power and down button ( on the volume rocker)

I think the problem may be with the app HD Widgets. I installed it last night and the problem started today. According to one review I read, it was causing some guy to have random reboots. The developer responded that it is a bug in Android OS, BUT they released a fix in today's update anyway. Hopefully it is fixed now.

I won't pretend to know what the actual problem is but I'm assuming it's software related, but this thing does strange things when connected to a car charger.
Same thing happened to me twice while it was sitting in my pocket.
Pulled it out and it was off. It would not turn back on unless I held the down volume button and power button. My phone is completely stock and I do not have HD widgets.
Twice for me. I'm rooted and unlocked.

I'm on The Base .7.1 and i've had my phone reboot on it's own a few times (on .5 and .7 it did this as well). it doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing...i can be taking a phone call or answering a text, it can be sitting in my pocket or playing chess.
the only thing that is constant is that AFTER the reboot, some application or other has updated itself via Google Play. perhaps there is some conflict occurring when application updates are presented to the Google Play app? could just be coincidence, but it has self-rebooted many times now and every time it comes back up there is a newly applied update to some installed application.
Had a Samsung Captivate that did that, called "sleep death" and was frequent. ATT swapped it out saying there was a bad batch and it never happened again.
My LGOG did it once the other night; well it did a full reboot by itself. If it becomes an issue I'll take it up w/ ATT again.
Had it happen twice in the past 2 days just in my pocket. Starting to get a bit frustrated with this phone.
Had this happen to me at least twice. Funny thing is the phone died in the same general geographic area each time.
Both times I had over 65 or 75% battery left and I was driving a few hundred miles across areas with bad cell reception. on the way back from my trip I actually chanced to look at the phone because I half expected it to be off due to having experienced the unintended power down before. Phone was NOT plugged into a charger. In the past, driving through these areas would put certain phones into power saving mode where cell function shuts down or phone. I think it's related to driving without reception or just no reception.
Normally I can leave this phone sitting and it stays on and wakes up without a fight.
Called AT&T, they are trying to run me through the whole hard reset/phone swap process.
Wanting something a bit stronger, I got LG's number. They said I was the first person to report the issue.
Both companies suggested turning the device off and charging to 100%, although they were both general suggestions (still, I hadn't tried that). The LG tech actually suggested that I take the battery out and... Well I didn't let that go any further.
LG said I could send my device to them instead of AT&T, if I wanted. They don't presend phones so you'll be SOL for "5-7 days" but I feel better that they would actually look at it instead of just throwing it in a "refurb" pile when the screen turns on.
Anyway, call them! Press 1 for English, 1 for Mobiles, I got an answer in 3 seconds. At least help put this on their radar. 800-793-8896.

Stock.
My issue has been happening for awhile but its gotten a lot worse lately.
My screen, when on, will randomly start "touching" places. When this happens, it appears as if a phantom finger is pressing various things and it is causing a lot of issues. Also when this happens, the 4 buttons on the bottom stop responding. i have to use the power switch to turn the screen off and then back on again.
any thoughts on how I might be able to fix this?

Are you rooted/flashed a rom? If you are you should definitely wipe everything a few times and flash a new rom. If you aren't I would perform a factory reset.

It has happened across multiple roms. I will try again though.
If nothing else works, try SGS Screen Booster. My Rez has been having the same problem recently, and it's seemed to help quite a bit.
The right below the status bar, there seems to be a gap with what is and what isn't working properly, so I set everything to the max and lowered the response time to be as quick as possible.

Happens to me also. Do you have a screen protector maybe? That is what I always thought my problem was.
Certain chargers or USB cords with grounding issues can cause these problems. Does it only happen when it's plugged in?
I had one were it would cause the same issue when plugged into the laptop, but only while the laptop was plugged into the wall.

Eh, mine does this as well. It's been happening more often in the colder weather I get into. So I just turn off the screen and let it sit in my pocket for a minute so the screen can warm up, and then it works. I swear, these Asurion replacements suck.
I'm having the same issues with my Rezound. I also have a lot of issues with the soft keys not working now ( Far more often than the random screen touch issue ). They won't respond at all or they will start randomly start clicking. I also notice that when they stop responding usually I can put the phone to sleep, then wake it back up right away and they will start working about 10-15 seconds later. Even when they are working I often have to hit them multiple times before it takes. This happened with the stock rom. It started happening shortly after I received the most recent OTA update, however I assume that is simply a coincidence and nothing to do with the update. I flashed the phone recently with CM10 hoping it was an issue with the ROM itself but the problem persists. This is a shame too because other than the screen issue it seems that CM10 would have given the phone a new life as it looks and runs so smooth on the hardware. I highly doubt I will ever buy an HTC again, we have had two of them and they both start having hardware issues much faster than they should for what they cost.
Im using the unofficial cm10.1 build with no mods. i went through and wiped everything twice. cache, system, boot, battery settings, rotation settings. i flashed the latest at the time (build from 4/3/13) and now my phone is working properly again. no more hanging up on people caue it preses by itself, no more emergency dialing.
hope that helps anyone who might have the same issue.

well after almost a year of abusive flashing testing flashing testing and so forth my i717 has decided it no longer wants to boot, be plugged in or generally do anything other then vibrate lol
this was not a rom problem as i wasnt flashing anything *just making that clear* it was simply my phone giving up.
battery in = vibrate bootloop
battery out + plugged in usb/wall = vibrate bootloop
button combos = vibrate bootloop
straight power button = samsung logo.... vibrate bootloop
if im lucky enough to get into download mode a few seconds pass and screen blanks then you guessed it = vibrate bootloop
so until i can get another i717 *yeah i like the phone and they arent overly pricey used* ill have to halt production as i always test my roms before releasing to anyone so that my phone will get the damage instead of other people
with all that said if anyone has a cheap i717 laying around shoot me a pm

I'm in the same boat with mine right now. It went out over the weekend. I've had this issue before though and traced it back to a faulty power button causing it to stick and bootloop.
Tearing the phone down and messing with the microbutton on the main board has gotten me to boot back up but its only a matter of time until its going to fully go out. There's been a few posts I've found regarding this issue in our forum as well as the S2 forum.
Try and see if messing with the button helps, its worked for me the past 3 times this has happened to me.

gave it a try and still notta, i put her in her resting box and into the corner with my n7000
Oh no! The same thing happened to me too. I opened it up and poked around. It still did same thing until I tried flicking the back where the power button is and it started working again!

flicking didnt work, slightly hitting didnt work, smashing it on my desk a few times didnt work lol *ok i didnt smash it on the desk, but i made sure the phone knew the desk was there to get more solid of a hit into that power button
frustrating, im going to bed.
Man Jamie sorry I feel your pain! Maybe check kijiji for a used or broken one then repair it? Or maybe send tours to mobiletechvideos. Not sure.

Sell your 2 broken phones on eBay. Maybe you'll get a hundred bucks or more each. Then buy another used for around $250.

well after almost a year of abusive flashing testing flashing testing and so forth my i717 has decided it no longer wants to boot, be plugged in or generally do anything other then vibrate lol
this was not a rom problem as i wasnt flashing anything *just making that clear* it was simply my phone giving up.
battery in = vibrate bootloop
battery out + plugged in usb/wall = vibrate bootloop
button combos = vibrate bootloop
straight power button = samsung logo.... vibrate bootloop
if im lucky enough to get into download mode a few seconds pass and screen blanks then you guessed it = vibrate bootloop
so until i can get another i717 *yeah i like the phone and they arent overly pricey used* ill have to halt production as i always test my roms before releasing to anyone so that my phone will get the damage instead of other people
with all that said if anyone has a cheap i717 laying around shoot me a pm

I had this happen to me once. I had to use odin and flash CWM. Once I did that I was golden. I then flashed TWRP and its been good *knocks on wood

this phone is beat, most people on this forum would freak out about it actually, i see ppl flip over little hairline scratches, let alone the whole front glass spider cracked, its time to move on from it as im surprised its even lasted this long...
Hey Jamie, I sent you a PM, let me know if you got it and if you're interested at all.
I've got a mint, I mean mint, one. What's your price?
I've had the power button stick problem for awhile now. Sometimes it takes me hours to revive it.
I avoid using the power button now. It sucks that this device is made cheaply.
I hope you can return to us Jamie!

Hey Jamie I will be more then happy to test your builds! (Really want to.) As long as it boots ups fine and doesn't brick me. :thumbup:

Just spent a good 20-40 mins on mine today getting it to turn on. The new battery I ordered came in so I decided to tinker with it some. Took it apart, took the logic board out, and looked at everything to see if anything fried. (Phone was baking in a tent over the weekend in the desert so the battery swelled and took a dump)
Played with the power button and put it back together a few times and finally got it to power back on. Just be persistent with it and it might revive itself.
I've had somewhat similar symptoms too. Happened to happen after flashing a ROM, so I thought it was a bad flash.
It's a battery failure. I can almost guarantee it. :cyclops: I have the luxury of another person in my household who has an i717 and swapping the battery got my phone up and running again.
My old battery would read full charge (when off and plugged in), and the phone managed to boot once in a while, it would reboot and go into a boot loop as soon as I unplugged the cable.

Flashing any ROM or testing is taking a risk ... Bricking is possible every time.

I've been suffering from a sticking power button over the past couple of days as well. Usually mashing the power button during the vibrate bootloop fixes it...only time will tell how long that will work though.
