Okay lets clear some boring stuff out of the way.
ST25i
BL: Unlocked
Rooted
FXP 216 CM9
I was using my phone fine 7 hours ago. Absoblutely fine. I put it in my pocket and left for School.
about 4 hours ago, at lunchtime, i went on it to check XDA.
But here's the thing.
I pressed the power button. Nothing. I presumed that I had turned it off. So I pressed and held the button to turn it on. No vibration. I wasn't bothered because i thought it had just frozen. So I popped out the battery, and popped it back in. Pressed and held. Nothing. i Covered the dim LED at the side of the camera to see if the battery was dead. No LED at all. THEN i got scared.
I have no idea. None, as to what caused it or what i can do. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks Guys!

Hi, pls i had an accident with my phone. I spilled a drink on it.
I dried it out, and it works still, but now after booting, the buttons work for a few minutes then stop.
I have to reboot to do anything again. Only the power button works.
What can i do?

How long has it been? I dropped my x10 in a bucket of water, and am sending this to you now. At first the edges of the screen had tiny beads of water and the volume buttons were constantly changing the volume. After three days and the drying techniques of a towel, everything is working fine. Maybe wait a few says and keep it dry. Also it could be the sugar from the drink...
And yes, for a phone with root, button Savior is a good option. Almost ics like
Good luck!

Try a reset or reflash the rom your using. Ice hasn't been released yet officially for the note so you must be on one of the leaks. Try reflashing

Problem is the phone automatically turns off in 10 secs every time even in download mode. I'll keep trying hopefully it will stick. Thanks for the tip though.

Wow that's a new one in me. I thought read someplace that certain roms react this way if the battery get to low and you have to go into cwm and do a cache wipe I think. Sorry that all I got .

If phone is turning off in download mode I doubt it is the ROM installed. Have you tried swapping batteries?
Also the issue seems to ONLY HAPPEN WHEN MOVING THE PHONE! SO I dont think Its a doftware issue. I tried changing battries same issue. It stayed on all NIGHT last night. Then when I go to touch it this morning it restarts.

How about if you leave the charger plugged in? Hopefully you can get the opportunity to get it restored to stock and have it exchanged under warranty.
Edit: stuck power button maybe?

It does it with charger too. But ONLY really does it while moving it
I CANT get it to even turn on now, It will viberate and show samsung and then shut off
I can get it into download mode for a sec and it will flash and turn off
The power button got mashed a little too hard.
If its store bought, its a warranty issue.
If its Craigslist or ebay you have to pull the whole thing apart and reseat the silver button in the case correctly and reassemble.
I've come across a few phones that have this defect.
Hey Ranger, notice you spend a lot of time in what I call the "trenches" in the Q&A and Gen sections providing assistance and guidance. Where I like to hang out and since I have the Note now...and still providing to the Infuse 4G community...
You seem to be a resourceful individual, sir.
Thanks Ranger!

Maybe one of your cables inside is loose and disconnects when you move it? I would either take your phone apart yourself or take it to a shop to get it checked.

So I have not rooted.or tampered with my one yet. Noticed today that my home and back buttons don't light up.. I know they did yesterday when I got it. Did I accidentally turn them off somehow? Or should I go return? Any thoughts ladies and gents ?

Try covering the two little sensors on the top left of the phone and press the keys again to see if they light up. If they don't, then no bueno. If they do then success.
I had tried covering up the sensors and that didn't work..after 3 factory resets in bootloader they finally started working. All seems to be running fine now.

Were they just not lighting up or bit working at all? I ask because there's another thread about the buttons not working at all from time to time so I'm curious if that will work for our issue as well? Don't want to factory reset if I don't have too

Hi everyone well first of all thanks 4 your time..
Yesterday I woke up and when I took my phone and pressed the power button to unlock it, I got such a terrible surprise.. The screen had some weird lines and signs and stuff, I couldnt get it to work.. so I opened the phone but couldnt do anything except for cleaning a bit... once I reassembled it, it got to work but after a while the phone froze and still had the same issue.. I will upload some pics so you can have an idea of what im talking about.. if you know what the problem could be, i would be glad to hear it.. Thanks a lot... :good:
Check your phone !!
If it boot in bootloader or not ??
1) remove battery
2) press power button + volume down
If your phone boots in bootloader after following above steps and if you can see the options correctly in it and no more lines in it than it mean that your screen and hardware is ok.
You have software problem..
Check it out and post it hear..

Sorry to say this but is your digitizer broken? If you didn't do this on your own you can send it to HTC if it's still under warranty.
But first try removing the battery one more time and first hold volume down then hold power, try it again with more force.

NO its not broken, I think its not a hardware issue.. I have no idea about what happened, i just applied some pressure to the screen and it suddenly got fixed.. but there are some small lines that just suddenly appear on the screen.. everything is working perfect but just for a small period of time.. after moving the phone it suddenly freezes and the problem starts again... thanks...

If it's a software issue then run a RUU and see if it helps. The RUU will fix every software problem because it gets it on 100 percent stock. If it can't it has to be a hardware issue. :thumbup:

Hmm..
Try to run it on bootloader.
See what's happen.
According to your reply I don't think so it is software issue.
Bcoz you pressed the screen and after that it comes to work so...
And according to my knowledge ,
There is a chip available in front upper side of display ( inside )
It is broken or get damaged.
And it is causing this problem.

Yes now I know its a hardware issue.. but dont really know which chip your talking about.. maybe if you could help me with some pictures or with some id I might try to look for it and see if that is really the issue.. Thanks.. :good:
If your issue is that that than anyone can't help you Bcoz you have to replace it.
And you should contact HTC or mobile repairer....
Bcoz it contains soldering

I bought a S3 from someone and he said that the phone needs to be re-flashed. when the phone turns on, it boots up fines. blue light at top, Samsung boot sound, the touch works as u can hear the water effects thing to unlock the phone. he claims he tried the LCD in another S3 motherboard and the LCD works, I don't know if he's telling the truth or not. Can a software cause the screen to not turn on. doesn't turn on at all. I flashed a stock rom with ODIN and did factory reset in recovery mode. i can also go in download mode as well. the phone works well, i used the POWER + HOME buttons to take snapshops on the screen to kinda browse through the phone, everything works, WIFI, bluetooth. it's not picking up signal tho. it's saying "Not registered on network" when i try to make a call, but it recognizes my sim card and stuff. anyways I don't know if he indeed went into the phone's root system files and messed something up or not. please help !
