Photon won't turn on

[Puzzlegal]

Sigh. That hadn't happened for a while, and I had vaguely hoped maybe it had been fixed or something. I think this is the first time it's happened to me since the latest update.

But today I pulled it out of my pocket and it wouldn't turn on. I pulled it in and that fixed it, as it has in the past. I gather others pull the battery to get the same effect.

Hmmm, now it says it is charging, and at only 10% battery power. I suppose it's possible I left it unplugged over night and this is not a bug but just an "out of power" thing. Or maybe it's that weird battery bug where it suddenly loses power? I don't recall it saying it was low this morning.

I've read on the moto forums and other places that this is a common thing for some people. I had read that when placed into a pocket, the phone is struggling to keep a signal and constantly polling for data therefore destroying batt life. The only solution I came across was to not put it into your pocket if your in a grey area of coverage.

I live in a great coverage area and I notice sometimes that the batt drains quicker in my pocket. It seems these moto radios kick serious butt until they get covered by something then it all goes to poop.

What does "I pulled it in" mean?

I think he's saying he had to pull the battery to get the phone to come back on.

I had a similar situation and someone suggested Juicedefender. The app has a feature to turn off the the radios. Its worked ok for me giving me more daily up time without charging. Still new to this phone (miss my Pre-) but im getting use to it.
