I just noticed a weird issue with my LTE that i don't remember it doing initially. When the unit is completely powered off if I tap the power button the phone powers back on. Not a normal hold power in for 2 to 3 secs, but a tap. Sometimes the tap does nothing, bit it turns on at the weirdest times. I noticed the other day when I tapped power button to see if thw phone was off like I always do that it came on about 10 secs later. I took my case off thinking that was the problem but it didn't make much diference. Anyone see this yet?

This may be a dumb question, but do you have "fastboot" enabled?
"We're coming from a pure power source"
Sounds to me like normal operation
First thing I could think of.
"We're coming from a pure power source"
You turn yours off? I only do that when I reboot. lol

Yea, had to jump on the plane this week, and was in a no service area for a week so just turned it on to get access to notes and things but then turned it back off. Sometimes I'd tap later to make sire it was off and it would accidentally power up.
And fastboot is disabled, has been for over a month. Just checked again to be sure.

From the manual shouldn't it be press and hold to power on and just a quick press to turn the screen on/off when the phone is powered on?

I've always noticed any press on the power button when the phone is off would turn it on. The OG was the same way.
I know I've forgot the phone was off multiple times and tapped power for a second to wake the screen and it would turn on

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.

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.

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.

LOL mine wont go into sleep or turn off unless I hit the power button.
So I have a evo lte that has been unlocked. Flashed the custom viper rom... After 2 weeks, the phone started acting weird today. I booted into recovery to wipe dalvik and cache. Then the phone started going crazy. Rebooted a few times and now it's a brick. Can't turn on or charge. Tried hard reset and combination of buttons to boot into bootloader. Nothing works. Any idea?

read somewhere that putting the phone in the freezer would work.
i left the phone in the freezer for 5 mins and it turned on... But after 1-2 mins it should shut off again and not allow me to boot. any help?
how long have you left it on the charger? are you using the 1A HTC charger or a different one? when mine has shut off due to low battery and i've tried to charge it at someone else's house using an old micro-USB charger it would take HOURS before it would even show the light and allow it to be turned on. the light would occasionally blink but that was it. turns out the charger was a 180mA charger... you said you're overseas, maybe it's a power issue.
myself and a few other members have had this issue! i wasnt rooted but i had the issue of it not turning on or charging. i took it to the sprint store and they gave me a band new evo. =p

Has nothing to do with the charger. I always charge with the oem charger.

Try letting the phone die completely..once dead plug into charger and see if it starts lighting up. If it does, attempt to boot into recovery. Best of luck!

Can't even turn on the phone. If I put it in the freezer for a few min, it would boot. Recovery says 75%charged. But it would shut off by itself after a minute

I leave my phone off every night. The only way I know of to unlock the phone while it's on is to quickly tap the power button to bring up that slide-to-unlock screen. But now that action turns on the phone when it's off, which I don't want. (I didnt think it used to do that?)
How can I tell if the phone is on without turning it on?

Depending on the rom/kernel you use you can set other buttons to wake the phone. There's a volume key mod in most ROMs or leedroid tweaks and there's the sweep2wake tweak on certain kernels.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I assume you are rooted? There's many option, roms with leedroid tweaks allow you to wake the phone up with volume buttons, camera button wake, sweep2 wake is kernel mod that allows you to slude your finger across the capacitive buttons to wake

Plug it into a charger, or unplug it. 90% of roms turn the screen on when charging. If it only shows the orange light, then its off.
Simplest no hack way I could think of.

The phone would still turn on though wouldn't it.
Strange question but I also hate when I go to check to see if the phone is on at work and it boots up, so I have to also wait before turning it back off. It can be a pain.
Some useful ideas in here though to check.

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.
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
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
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.
