I sold my z2 to a friend, and when he has tried to insert his new sim has forced the red reset/ off button down too hard, and its stuck. So now when the phone has any charge it is stuck in the cycle of reseting itself, vibrating 3 times and the sony logo comes up, and it just keeps doing this. Are there any tips on unsticking the reset button.
Cheers
Liam
I think that you/he needs to disamble the phone if its not under warranty

Hi all, 1st off, this forum is amazing. Please provide your input.
My device: HTC HD2 from Tmobile STOCK, out of the box, no mod has been done.
Problem: frozen at "stick together" screen for unknown time
Situation: the phone was used for 2-3 weeks, then sat in the box for approx 6 month.
Attempts: during all my attempts i didn't have the SIM CARD installed.
1/i tired to do factory reset, the 1234 then pressed yes -> frozen at sticktogether screen. took out the battery. then
2/Called Tmobile help support, we did hard reset by holding the volup and voldown plus power button, after I got to the animated screen.....stuck at "stick together"
3/Tmobile tech told me to take out the battery again, take out the micro sd card, and start the phone normally ....guess what ? stuck at stick together screen !!!! at this point, i was like **** should have not given away my iphone4
4/ while being stuck, the tech guy told me to use a pinpoint pen to activate the little yellow button next to microsd card, the device kinda turn off, then again ...stick together appeared. I thought to myself, i should have stuck with my Iphone4.
turning point: So, anyway, took out the battery, then turn on the phone normally, of course stuck at stick together...then let it sit for about > 3 hrs while watching "RED" from redbox...haha i came back, the phone logged in , kinda like the fresh start from out-of-the-box setting. I went through the initial tutorial, and all that good stuff. Seem to be functional. I turned the phone off, then do the vol down, and power button to check SPL version, mine is 2.4.1000000 or sumthing like. then it stuck at the tri color screen. took out the battery, then started the phone ...GUESS what ? stuck at stick together again.....I feel miserable.
I have two option,
1/ is to send the device back to tmobile and have them replace it.
2/ writing this thread and hopefully someone knows what's going on !!!

Try plugging it on the charger until the battery says 100%.then try booting it up.
if it didn't boot.if it's on warranty send it for repair.
thankyou prince it worked i had a defy in the past that phone didn`t had such requirements but anyway this one is moore cooler

Hi ,
My phone suddenly died on me. I was using Flipboard and after I close it by pressing the power button once short.
After few seconds I wanted to check something else and I push the home button as usual and the lock screen shows up I did my unlock pattern it shows me the green color and then it gets stuck completely froze. I didn’t have any choice than to press and hold the power button. After holding for more then a minute the screen went off but it didn’t vibrate as usual when is all shut down. I took the battery out , put it back and no luck. I tried all the button combination for recovery, download … nothing.
The battery was about 50% when it happened.
I’m on SLIM ICS 4.2 with FLUXI 0.3 kernel and I never had problems up to today.
I tried to charge it and nothing happens , no charging animation..
It’s anything else that I can try or to send it to Samsung service, but that will take more likely few weeks.
I’m lucky somehow as the warranty will expire on August 2.
Thx
You could try a new battery. You could also try a jig. If they don't work, send it in for warranty service & hope they don't notice or care you've been messing with it/been running non stock firmware.
If they do notice/care, you won't get warranty service. If they don't notice/don't care, you will. Getting this fixed under warranty is no certainty as running non stock firmware voids same.

Sounds like a hardware malfunction. Get it serviced mate.
Also even if the charging icon doesnt shows up, leave it plugged like an hour or so and try buttons again
Thanks guys ,
I tried other battery also ,nothing , not even the first Samsung Logo and/or the first vibration when it's on
I kept it plug for few hours or so and still nothing. I don't have a jig unfortunately .
Definetly ,I'll send it to be repaired , luckly is the company phone and I may push it for an SIII if cannot be repaired.
thx.
Hi there,
Something weird happened with my HTC Titan (Windows Phone 7.8) today. when using the phon I noticed that the soft keyboard wasn't accepting any input. So I did a soft reset by holding the power button, but the phone seemed like it got stuck in the 'goodbye' screen.
So I took the battery off in order to make a hard reset.
when I put the battery back in and turned the phone on, now it shows the HTC logo, followed by the carrier logo (Vodafone) but then it get stuck there -- Nothing else happens (I should have seen the Windows Phone logo next).
I have no idea what to do. Could someone please advise?
Thanks,
P.
power switch
replace the power switch it causes the phone to reboot again and again
Hi, I think i have a unique problem with my phone. I dropped my Sony xperia Z2 from knee height and now it will not turn on. The battery was on 70% when i dropped it.
If i try to boot it into recovery or download mode, it doesn't work either, it just doesn't power on.
Now the odd thing is, when i connect a charger to the phone, the notification light turns on and flashes a red color. The phone turns on very briefly displaying the Sony Xperia Logo before turning back off again and this happens repeatedly. This leads me to believe that the issue is to do with the software and not the hardware. If this is the case then i feel as though the problem can be fixed without having to open the phone.
Do you guys have any idea what the problem is? or what can be done/tried to fix it?
Just to add, i tried to push the red reset button down which is located next to the sim card holder. This achieved nothing.
Any Help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Hold the reset keys till it vibrates 3 times
Volume up + power
Or red key under the left flap
Once this is done try powering on your device and it fails to work then flash a FTF or try to
If this fails then you have done some damage to your device hardware and you need to contact a repair centre
