Weird Shut-off problem

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem

(SOLUTION)
Hi there,
I had this same problem for some days now. My Samsung Galaxy S2 Lte was vibrating every 2 seconds. Was not turning on, if it would then just for a brief moment the first screen would come up and a line would appear and screen would go black and it would start vibrating again. It was exactly the problem what everyone has written here.
I opened back cover, remove the small seven screws. This guy on You tube tell you how to open it. 'Samsung Galaxy S2 disassembly for repair'
I dipped ear bud in nail polish remover and cleaned the start/off button. Little bit of nail polish remover went inside the button too. it took about on1 to two minutes, all this time i was pushing the start/off button. What ever dust or anything that was sticking inside got cleaned. I kept it open for about 10 minutes so that nail polish remover evaporates completely. Now i put sim card inside and the phone i working perfectly fine for past half an hour. No vibration, no issue at all. If any issue comes up I will post it.
thx
San

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem

sorry not sure where to put this, but have any one had problems on a Samsung galaxy receiving calls by itself. i had my phone charging on the side table. it was on a hard service and my phone did not have a phone cover on it. i am thinking that when the phone rung, it also on vibration, could that of activated receiving the call by itself ? as i never press it. unfortunately i could not believe it ! as someone heard a highly embarrassing conversations for 6 mins . only know this after ward , that person over hearing approach me on it latter on when they saw me. any help would be of great appreciation .

Samsung galaxy S4 mini Weird problem Samsung galaxy S4 mini receiving calls without me pressing received button
i think what might of happen is that your phone was charge on a hard service. when the call came in, the vibrations activated the call. this maybe one of the reasons why people have phone covers possibly

my question is on sky blue. i didn’t put in in the right section but i hoping someone will come back to me.

also what is the model of your phone ?

yellow is the problems they getting on it switching of and other problems for your reference so this type of phone does have some issues

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem

The only problem I have heard with a phone making or receiving calls or acting erratically was because of the use of a not original phone charger.

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem

So I take it nobody that is having this same problem or anyone else for that matter has an answer

You just described my problem EXACTLY. I really can't figure out what's going on.. its really annoying.

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem. NOTE 2, power button was the problem

yes power button for me too, took phone apart and that alone fixed it (could then start), but I also cleaned the power 'cable' and switch with isopropoyl alcohol, which probably wasn't the right one, but all good so far

The symptoms for my phone - a samsung note 2, were intermittent flashing b/w initial start up display (ie samsung note 2, GT-N710...) and off (blank screen). If I plugged in charger, would bring up charging display, but that then too would flash b/w that and a blank screen intermittently. A few times I managed to get the phone to proceed beyond initial start up to message from my carrier and then just the SAMSUNG logo, only for it then to switch back to intermittent initial message as before. I also tried the recovery boot approaches holding power, home and vol down (and the alternate vol up approach) and while the vol down approach appeared to proceed to the android symbol and downloading message, that quickly failed too (thank god!) and it returned back to intermittent flashing of the initial start up display and a blank screen.
There are some good guides on youtube for taking the phone apart and replacing the power button so I just followed that apart from the replacing bit

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem

Well, to add a litle more background, my problem happened with both the original GB software and the official ICS upgrade. I elected against the motherboard replacement and sent it to Cell Phone Repair Pros. For $60 they replaced the power button and so far it is working great. I rooted today and it is still working great. It seems my problem has been solved.

For now; only been a few days.

ETA: I haven't seen any official JB release for our phones.

I used that phone for another year or so and it never gave me another problem. It wasn't fixed until I sent it away and had the power switch replaced. I still have it as a backup phone and it really is a great phone even today.

My problem had nothing to do with software, battery condition or root status. To answer your questions, it was NOT rooted at the time and the battery was a newer extended Mugen battery but the same issue was experienced with two different OE batteries. It was the power switch plain and simple.
