Every now and then, my screen will freeze up and become unresponsive. Just once in a blue moon. But when it does happen, I have to go through the hassle of taking my case apart to do a battery pull. I searched up a soft reset method, like I would use when my old fascinate or gnex froze so I didn't have to pull the battery.I found that long pressing the power button will perform a soft reset. However, when it froze, it didn't do anything? I had to do a battery pull. When I turned it back on, I pressed the power button for 30+ seconds. It didn't do anything. Is there something I'm doing wrong or what? I'm on CR 3.1 and Saber Kernal if that means anything.
TIA!

You should really look into running a rom that does not freeze up on you.
But anyways it looks like the battery pull is your only option all long as touch screen is unresponsive
Make sure your super user updates or go down a level that solved my oroblem

You cannot really soft reset the Note 2 since you are able to pull out the battery unlike other devices like Droids in which don't have access to battery.
You should get a new rom if you do in fact freeze.

I should, but it doesn't happen often and when it doesn't freeze everythings pretty much perfect. I've been using CR 3.1 since march and everything's set up perfectly.
Well, not 3.1 since march. Just dirty flashed some updates.

I've searched all over, but I can't find the answer. Several times a day I have to use the power/volume down to restart my phone because it won't come out of sleep mode. It doesn't do it every time. I know there are others with this problem, but I haven't been able to find out why it happens or how too prevent it. Please help.

Same, I just have to hold it until it wakes up. See if that works

I've held it for about thirty seconds with no luck. Does it take longer than that? It doesn't matter how long it's been asleep, sometimes I can turn off the screen and immediately try to turn it back on and it won't work.

No not that long. What firmware are you running? Maybe you have a dodgy power button?

Are you using spotify?
That happens to me when that's on in the background every once in a while..
After unrooting, uninstalling every app I had then doing a factory reset and still having the same problem, I finally gave up and took it into the Verizon store. They said there was going to be a software update in mid April that would fix it, or I could get a new phone. My new phone will be here Tuesday.

Mine is stock and just did this today.

LOL mine wont go into sleep or turn off unless I hit the power button.
So... hopefully this runs long enough. I'm having issues. Randomly, usually after I lock the scrren, then unlock it, the phone reeboots. And then it tries to power on but just keeps vibrating till I hit power button it happens frequently.
I used Odin to go back to stock and all that, but still does it.
Phone has been unlocked.
Thoughts?

I'm thinking if you went back to stock that it may just be the device itself that is dysfunctional. Does your device seem hotter than normal by any chance?

I had it happen once, but not in a couple weeks and plugging it in, didn't work for me. It acted like it was turned off, but required a hard reset to turn on.
A little annoying but just a minor flaw. Has happened to me once. Yesterday, actually.
Hi guys, I was thinking about changing from a Note 2 to this phone. With rooting though I know a battery pull is sometimes necessary which seems like it would be a problem on the HTC One. Has anyone experienced issues rooting that a battery pull might have fixed? Or maybe there's a work around?
Pushing and holding the power button is the same as pulling the battery.

Thanks for the info, that just hasn't been my experience with other phones. Specifically if the OS is locked up. Would the phone power down in such case, using the method to turn it off as you described?

I have read that yes, it will force the phone to reboot. It certainly works on the s2 and the s3. Never had to pull the battery in either.

I had a freeze while playing with a new ROM and pushing the power button for 10 secs worked just fine. I wasn't even booted into the OS. Don't think it will be much of an issue.
Yes holding the power button worked for me.

holding the power down for 10-15 seconds simulates a batt pull. doesnt matter if your phone is booted or not. its a hardware function built into the phone not software based.

Thanks for the replies, especially this info. Worst case I could always let the battery drain dry. My next task now is getting out of my current contract lol.
Hello, I am having a problem with my note and it is scaring me. As soon as my note boots it is shutting off completely and restarting. I was just using it with fine last night. I had the uber kernel installed and oced to 1.9 cpu but it wasn't even that hot.. After thinking it was the Rom that was causing this I did a complete wipe and flashed the candykat Rom, upon boot when the cyogenmod log in screen appears it shut down and rebooted again.. twice. I'm hoping nothing is damaged internally. I am able to stay in the recovery just fine without any problems. Please help me.. And when I say shutdown I mean insta black screen and reboot..

Idk if I will do that lol. But now I think I know what the problem is. So yesterday I was using my note and it shut off. The battery was full and when it restarted the battery all the sudden dropped to 60%. It turned off again and went to 1%... I thought it was glitching when it said 1% but after amin it shutdown due to low battery. One thing I then tried was having my phone plugged in while using it and I played games, used my phony heavy and what do you know.. It didn't turn off. So I'm thinking I have a bad battery. PS: I took my note to a pawn shop and they said the battery was bloated. He said it wasn't supposed to spin while on a flat surface.. What do you think?
It seems while I'm playing a game the battery heats up and that causes shutdown cause I'm typing this and I don't have my charger plugged in and its fine..

Yes a bulging battery is a sign that it's bad. Batteries are cheap. Especially on eBay. I buy an extra battery and charging dock for all my devices. This way one is always fully charged, and I don't have to plug in the device unless I need Odin or to file transfer. I learned that lesson 2yrs ago when my usb charging port went bad.

Yeah it has to be the battery. Earlier today when I was using my note it said low battery at 2%, I looked at my phone afew minutes later and it said 4%?? Lol. The charger wasn't even plugged in.

If my power button was stuck would I see the shutdown menu before it rebooted, shutdown, reboot, sleep, etc? I'm just trying to make sure my battery is the problem.. I don't want to deal with a power button..

No you won't see the power menu. It just keeps restarting. I don't think you'd even see your home screen because it restarts before the rom loads.

Oh well then. That's awesome because I'm able to use my phone for more than 5 mins without it shutting down. It usually shuts down when I start playing a game or something intensive. So it has to be the battery! I'm really happy.

Well my phone shut off again when using another not as bad but still a bit puffed out note battery. I don't understand what's going on here... I'm scared to buy a new one thinking that It won't work still... my phone never turns off as much when the charger is in... But guaranteed with battery only. Less than 10 mins.
