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.

Lights stuck on. What? Help!

My soft button lights are stuck on. I'm not *****ing about screen bleed, I know all about that.
All of a sudden the soft button lights stay on no matter what I do. Stays on when screen goes off. Screen filter no help, also did mod to kill lights but no help either.
I've factory reset, reflashed, and cursed really nasty to it but did not work.
I think its hardware related because when I power down and plug it in to charge the lights come on. Strange. Thoughts?

If your rooted u can go to the play store and download Keyboard Backlight Controller. See if that works

You didn't mention battery pull... Did you try that?

Battery pull. Did not work. In fact I pull the battery and plug it in to charge with power off. Lights come on.

Touch Screen Calibration

Is there a way to calibrate the screen?
Sometimes mine will act possessed and have phantom touches. Alot of times I try to touch the back arrow, or the menu key and it registers the touch for one of the apps in my dock.

Is you device plugged into the charger when this happens?
On the Razr, the screen would sometimes act up when it was charging, but unplugging it solved the problem.
If it is when your charging then you have an incompatible charger
You need an 1 amp charger

no, this happens off & on without being on the charger

i have noticed this if there is a little bit of water on the screen or a moist part that it does that. the fix is to shut the screen off, dry it, and turn it back on again and you should be good
I also had problems with a 3rd party lockscreen (eg. GO Locker) causing the multitouch to be messed up, but that's probably not the problem you're having.
If your under warranty then send it in
It will only get worse

Do you have a screen protector, case, etc when you are using it?

Turns off while charging

Hi all,
I've searched for an answer and couldn't find one.
My Galaxy turns itself off while charging and most of the time, I have to take the battery out to turn it on again.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
First, caused by AC charger or USB PC or both ?
Your firmware version and rooted, mods etc ?
Have you tried a factory reset ?
Different chargers and cables etc ?
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
Only by AC charger I think. I've only got the one which came in the box.
It's a standard phone, not rooted or anything.
I haven't tried a factory reset, will try that tomorrow if it does it again tonight

op says his turns off WHILE charging, so yours and his isn't doing the same thing.
Actually, mine is doing that too!
This morning, it turned itself off while charging, then when I turned it back on it froze, and then when I rebooted, it turned off again with the blue light flashing.
I'm also finding that the screen when waking up is very temperamental to unlock.
I'm getting fed up now!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Hardware failure maybe? (I think the main reason is the AC adaptor was broken or something).
Have you try with another USB AC adapter?

I think it might be something to do with wireless being on. Sounds stupid, but when I have wireless on, I get the screen freeze and the turn off while charging.
Going to try the rest of the evening with no wireless and see what happens
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Well, I tried the wireless off and charged and it was fine. No screen freeze or turn off during charging.
As soon as I turned it on this morning, screen froze when it went into sleep.
Luckily I I have unlimited data!

Have you bothered to Factory Reset ?
Sounds like WiFi drivers though.
Flash another kernel would must likely fix it.

Did anyone get to the bottom of this? I just received my replacement phone and sure enough, phone switches itself off when wifi enabled.
Then I saw the *#0011# trick to turn off wifi power save mode.
Hi,
No, I haven't got this sorted yet. Still does it with me and now my wifi and data keeps dropping out!
Going to send it back to 3 and let them fix it. My friend as one and his is fine

The thing i mentioned above your post works but not sure if that's the answer.
Hi again,
Well I rooting and putting a new ROM on and, though it didn't switch off while charging, it does still freeze when coming out of sleep.
So I'm getting there!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Try to check the temp when charging, I read somewhere that if the phone overheats it will shutdown automatically. About the freezing issue, try to do a factory reset first, maybe some apps that you installed are causing that.
If still the same, maybe its a hardware issue.
Hi again,
Sorry to keep going on about this, but the problem has been solved!
Basically, the new firmware update has sorted the problem. No turning off while charging, no freezing when coming out of sleep - its perfect!

I is Teh Bricked?

So, I'm at work and I am unable to use my phone. Phone will not power on, I've held the power button for well over a minute in the hopes that it would restart but nothing. I was using the phone just fine today with no hiccups. I've tried charging the phone, but the light will not appear, so it does not seem to be charging. I've also removed the SIM Card, nothing as well. I've tried plugging it into a computer to see if it would sync, and yet again, nothing.
Any solutions?
I'm using the newest P.A.C. ROM, not even overclocked

I've looked at the phone under the brightest bulbs we have here, no indication of any of the sensors lighting up. It's really strange. I've been tinkering with ROMS for several years now and nothing like this has ever happened to me. You would think at least one of the sensors would light up.
Power is what I meant there, try booting into recovery from there

I can't boot up the phone, it's neither charging or booting or giving me any indication that it's alive.

I have used 3 different USB cables in the vicinity and none of them have worked. How would I go about checking my voltage?
Use a multimeter, if you dont have one youll need to find someone with the same phone and test with his.battery.

plug it in to an ac charger not usb let it charge for a few hours then unplug it and hold power or power+volume down under a bright light.

your reply is not helpful. if you dont have anything helpful to say then what is the point of posting. other people have had this exact problem and their phone came back on after charging for a while. this is not what xda is we are a community that helps each other

I do not have a multimeter, I use to have one. When I get home I will use my standard wall socket charger and if nothing happens it is most definitely a hardware issue. Hopefully my AT&T store is open tomorrow and they can help me address the issue. If I get it on before then I will update this thread with a solution.

[Q] My note shuts off as soon as Rom boots..

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..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.
