I have the pure evil rom on my note 3. I closed the cover, and it worked. 5 minutes later...nothing. All the searches I've done are pertaining to kitkat. This is the first problem I've encountered, and it's sad for me
Any ideas?

Went into recovery, and when I rebooted it works:what::thumbup:

Yup, dodgy firmware.
Two fixes for disappearing S View window with the Spigen.
1) pop the phone out, restart, once fully booted put back in
2) leave in case, with door open, power off fully, leave for 10 seconds, turn back on and fully boot with door open, shut door, et voila

I know I've read it once before somewhere on the Internet. Well it happened to me.
My first EVO was returned because the light leak finally got to me. I too was part of the group who had the big sticker on the box. Other than that the phone was perfect.
The second EVO was pretty much perfect. I had 1 system reboot a day or so into owning it. Figured it was nothing. Less than a week in, I went to charge the phone and the phone restarted. Didn't know what to think. Unplugged it and played with it a little. Plugged it in again and it restarted again. Now I was perplexed. Once it restarted, I unplugged it and plugged it in to see what would happen. It just shut down. No shutdown animation. Just went black. No charging light or anything came on. Won't power up and won't accept a charge from any charger. Now I have a new replacement but I figured I'd share my experience.

Had to this happen to me. Left the phone alone for 20 mins, even turned on a fan to cool the phone. Starting charging.

Wasn't so lucky. Left it over night and still nothing.

Had the same thing happen to me...all you have to do is hold down the power button for 10 seconds and wait for the buttons on the bottom to flash and then the phone should restart.
What's the "sticker on the box" issue?
Happened to me too...started up google latitude on the phone then all the sudden it went black and no calls went through, even though it rang. I was able to turn it on 30 min later, but after I held the power button down for like half a minute.

Negative. Tried that too. Was tempted to throw it in the freezer too. Someone who had a similar issue said the phone came alive after that.
The phone was completely non responsive.

I think some members mentioned that there were different batches. May be a coincidence but some of the phones that were reporting problems came with the larger sticker seal on the phones cardboard box.

i picked up my phone from best buy on 5/24 like 2 or 3 days into owning it i had my phone reboot randomly 1x. after the reboot it looked fine. 10 min after that it was non responsive and getting hot on the back. nothing i could do would reset it. not even holding the power button down. the row of buttons would flash but no reboot. i then put it on the charger no charge light came on and nothing whatsoever happened. i figured i had a phone that was DOA. after 20 or 30 minutes i pulled the phone off the charger it booted up and i have not had a problem to this day. My phone is not rooted and i am not doing anything crazy with it at this point. i Do have what appears to be a larger sticker on my box. Another problem i had before this was people said my voice faded in and out during calls. i tried everything. finally blowing long and hard into the microphone hole seems to have resolved the issue. just putting my experiences out there. hopefully this was an isolated incident and i will have no further issues. but i will not hold my breath.
My phone boots up for 5 seconds to the samsung screen and then it shuts off. I can not get into recovery. I tried going into download mode,but when it enters download mode approx 5 sec and then it shuts off not enough time for odin to run. My battery is fully charge. What should I do?:crying:
Does it vibrate and restart as well?
Could possibly be the power button is stuck. Happens sometimes.
And since it Powers up ... It is not bricked.

it vibrates but does not reboot after the first boot
Stuck power button. . . or flashed an incomplete Rom from a bad download. . .just guessing because you didn't say what you did that led up to this.
How about a little insight on events leading up to the issue.

Last night i flashed Xylon 2.5 unOfficial Rom for quincyatt from ManelScott4Life off his site and then i flashed the recent 4Ace kernel and it was working perfectly for I used it for a couple hour before going to sleep. As I was listening to music on the way to school. It shut off and until now i need to take battery out n put back in order for it to boot for 5 seconds n shuts off again
Odd....But I still would not rule out a stuck button.
If you have a good backup that you can restore, you might could try a wipe and reflash of that backup.
The real test will be if you can boot into your recovery and it stays there. If it does not, then the problem leans toward a button issue again.
And of course, the battery could also be causing trouble. We have had failed batteries act the same as you describe. If you have a spare, try it. If not, plug the device into AC power and attempt the boot into recovery.
Either way, if the phone stays in recovery, you have a battery issue, or corrupted rom...g

Same Problem
I have a question. I have the same exact problem as the OP. However in my case I dont know what happened to the phone as someone just gave it to me since it didnt work and I have a Note they figured I could use it for parts. That aside At first i tried everything and no go. But today i was able to put it into download mode and like 5 seconds into it it shuts off. My main question is how do you know if the button is stuck 1. 2. How do you fix that?
Edit: well i opened my phone up and cleaned out the button and rubber thing and it did the trick! You guys are my heroes!!!:thumbup:
Glad we could help
Great you got it fixed. Enjoy.

How did you clean out your button? I have the EXACT same symptoms, but my rubber buttons in the case, and white power button appears to be clean. I can hear the button itself make contact. I can't get to recovery mode, but I can hit download mode for 5 seconds.
leaving the casing of the phone removed, I have the same exact symptoms so it Has to be the button itself... *shrug
the button gets stuck even when you still hear/feel it clicking. open the phone and blast it with duster. Press and depress the button rapidly many times till it frees internally

Hello, my wifes AT&T Note I717 last night started this pulse vibrating on and off to the point i had to pull the battery. I didnt get time to mess with it this morning due to work but need sugestions on how to fix when i get home. I couldnt get it to turn on either because of the pulse... Its kinda like that vibrate when the phone is starting.
Thanks!

Well its not a stuck button. I removed the back and the button is working great. I did however notice the battery is bulged in the center.... Suggestions?
Just go ahead and get a new battery, bulge= n good.
While you're awaiting delivery:
You could have an app constantly crashing in the background.
If you're rooted... use tibu, if not use helium, back up your apps.
If there's a custom recovery, factory reset within it. (Can't remember if that option is in stock recovery or not)
If it's so doing that after a fresh boot then it's not an app.
Had the same symptoms with my i717R. Battery has failed or is failing. It would show charging in recovery, but whenever it booted, it would go into a loop and then not have any charge. Circuit in the battery is toast.
Ok ordered a new battery and it will be here Friday... Ill post back the results!
I just want to let everybody know that my battery came in today and my phone booted up just fine... so it was the battery and I attached a picture of the old battery showing the Bulge

I see that you fixed the problem, but here's for people having this exact problem:
I have a Note from Bell (SGH-I717M), and it did the same thing, turns off and vibrates constantly. I figured out the problem, even after factory resetting didn't do the job. Luckily, my phone was slightly rooted with a backup from 6 months prior. I flashed back to that date, and updated to 4.2 (stupid thing was on 4.0.2), works just fine, took 3 days to get the device started in the beginning, however.
Hi, my Note has been running happily for months now, I was running the latest version of Super Nexus before the thread closed, and I was using a custom kernel, UBER I believe, its been so long since I've had to mess with it. For the record I have never overclocked, I refuse to.
Anyway, every two or three months my phone would start to get unstable, lots of apps installed etc etc, and my screen would start to flicker when I was on the home screen, sometimes the screen wouldn't wake up from the lock screen so I'd have to hit the button a few times, random reboots every couple of days, things like that.
My phone is so stable for the first couple months though, that I never bothered to change anything, I just wiped the phone clean, wipe all the cache etc etc, then I'd reinstall the ROM, and then reinstall the kernel, and bam, it was good as new again, fast and fresh.
I've done this a few times now since May 2013 when I first got it stable.
But now it has done something weird, scary even.
Its been getting buggy lately as usual, but I've been to busy to reinstall everything, so I just kept dealing with it, its been buggy for over a month now, and tonight it randomly rebooted, but didn't boot fully.
If I take the battery out and leave it out, then put it in, it automatically buzzes once, then the Samsung logo shows up, disappears, and if the room is dark you can see the screen light up black, flicker slightly, then turn off. Pushing the power button again does nothing, it stays off.
If I plug the charger in, the battery icon shows up with a spinning circle in the center, then the screen goes dark and the phone buzzes repeatedly every 3/4 of a second, buzz buzz buzz buzz etc, seemingly endlessly.
If I hold the two volume buttons and power button down, and release when the samsung logo shows up, so I can enter into TWRP, nothing special happens, the logo shows up, disappears, screen goes dark.
BUT, I did some searching and decided to try using ODIN to go back to full stock att. So I took the battery out, hold down the volume- button, put the battery in and voila! I get into download mode! I push the volume+ button and its starts waiting for the target (or whatever its called).
BUT, then the screen goes black and its dead. So I thought maybe just the screen is turning off, so I set up ODIN, started download mode, plugged in the USB, and the computer recognized it and made the appropriate sound, but as soon as the screen went dark the computer made the 'USB disconnected' sound and said device installation failed. So I am assuming its a bigger problem than just the screen, the entire thing turns off.
Its late now and I'm frustrated and don't know what to do, any help would be gladly appreciated. Hopefully there are still people using this phone.
Thanks again,
-Tom
Stuck power button.....flick the back of your phone a few times to jar it loose. It may sound and feel normal but try anyway
Or
Check for bad battery....... Does it appear or feel swollen? Very Commons need to replace after about a year. $8 on Amazon.

Thank you for your response, this makes sense. I have flicked and played with the button, it appears and sounds to be working properly, but I am going to take it apart tonight to be sure. I've had it apart before, I had to do the GPS fix, so I won'tbreak it, but thanks for the new direction to go in!
I will report back.
Also, I have 4 batteries I alternate with and they all have the same effect :/
Thanks again!
-Beastlykings
After some research on faulty power buttons specifically, I realize this this a fairly common problem, and as such I apologize for my not realizing this sooner.
But its fixed! I took it apart and got it to work by lightly tapping the button with a small screwdriver, I then did some research and learned you can sometimes clean it with rubbing alcohol. I didn't have any rubbing alcohol, but another quick search determined that vodka can be an acceptable substitute. So I poured a shot of grey goose and went to work lol. I put a small drop right on the button and clicked it lightly but repeatedly for a minute or so, then I blew it out, then dried it with 30sec or so in front of a space heater (its winter here, -19f, brr), put the battery in and voila!
Very happy now, if it acts up again I will try actual rubbing alcohol, but if that doesn't do it then their are guys on ebay who will replace the button for $15-40, so I guess thats better than nothing.
Thanks again!

So, for summer reason my phone has locked up a few times now. I wake up in the morning at like 10 but my phone says 3am. I try to go to home screen but its frozen. I reboot and when its done rebooting, its still frozen. I can't do anything. I've nandroided back to stock w/root and it works OK. But sometimes it locks or freezes again. It's becoming frustrating.

About the subject line - I'd briefly describe the actual issue, like 'Phone is frozen after hours of standby'.
About the issue - I haven't had the issue you're describing, but almost every morning I have to check if the phone actually boots upon powering up, because sometimes it just stays on either LG logo or Tmobile logo, but does not boot. In case it does not boot, I hold the Down + Power for a few seconds, it reboots and goes fine afterwards. At first I thought it has to do with the battery getting too warm for its liking, but I shut the phone off for the night.
Currently root methods are for the t-mobile model v10. Are you by chance att/version?
No, hence the reason I put TMO in the subject line

I used to have an issue with notifications and led locking up the G4.
We dont have LED, but might it have something to do with notifications?
If you reset your phone and leave it without syncing / restoring anything, see if it still locks up?
