LG Ally It won't stay turned off and texting.

I just bought two Allys. The one I gave my son will stay turned off until he decides to turn it on.  Also, while it is charging, his screen goes into sleep mode.  The one I have will not stay turned off.  If it is turned off and I plug it in to charge, it will turn back on.  I then turn it off again. It is off for about 3 seconds, then turns itself back on again.  The whole time it charges the screen NEVER goes into sleep mode.  If I turn it off and leave it (not charging), it periodically will sound as though it is coming on again and the screen will light.  Within about 5 seconds, the noise stops and the screen again goes blank.  Have any of you had this happen to yours?  I think I should take it back.  What are your thoughts?
Also, I can receive texts, but it will not send them.  Any thoughts?
I appreciate all the help I can get.  This is my first Smartphone, and......it doesn't seem to be very smart so far.

Sorry about the problems you are seeing.  I'm surprized you're Son's Ally is turning off during a Charge, normally they stay on.  The Screen should go into Sleep mode at the interval you set, like 30 Sec, 1 Minute, so on but the phone is on with the LED Lite displaying the charge status, Red, White, or Green.  What do you have your Screen time out set to???  Look under Settings>> Sound & Display>> at the very bootom of the menu is Screen TImeout..
The Ally you have that keeps power cycling sounds like there is an issue with it.  I know you are running Android 2.1 but what version of LG Software do you have in the Ally?  It should be version 'ZV6'  to find this out,, Look in the settings> About Phone>> and at the very bottom "SW Version"  It should end with 'ZV6"
With the Txt messages, we have seen some issue we think are with Android delaying messages...  Not stoping them but some times they come in groups...  Is this what you are seeing?  Are there any Errors?  Have you checked with Verizon to make sure your settings on the network end are correct?
SOmeone mentioned reseting the phone...  You can do this if you like, it will erase all of your Personal Data and any Apps you have added, but it will restore the phone to the Factory defaults, just like it came out of the Box...  I have seen this clear up some oddities... 
Let me know what I can do to help.

  • M92p won't stay turned off

    Just got a brand new M92p here which will not stay turned off. I perform a regular shutdown in Windows, the system turns off for about a second or two, then turns on again automatically and boots into Windows. I turned off all the Wake features except WOL and also disabled Intel AMT. Bios is also set to stay turned off after a power loss.
    Any ideas what's going on here?

    Well, I don't really know exactly what the problem is for you that's waking up your M92p's.  I'm only responding to your comment that you seem to have narrowed it down to those machines which make use of a USB cable connecting the M92p to the Samsung monitor, which has a built-in USB hub.
    And the USB hub entries in Device Manager do have a "power management" tab that does have a checkbox that says "allow this device to wake the compurter".  So it seemed worth looking at.
    It may well be that the "allow this device to wake the computer" is already UN-CHECKED in the power management tab, and in fact I believe it's the Windows default setting for that checkbox.  So it's likely that this particular possibile explanation for some way that your Samsung monitors might have been responsible for your M92p's mysteriously waking up, and an easy thing to try with a simple un-check of the option, turns out to be a dead end.  But it still seems worth looking into as a possibility.  Can't hurt.
    And if it turns out that you DO actually have to un-check this option (which for some reason has gotten checked) in all of your machines that use this particular Samsung monitor with the USB cable connection as that DOES fix the problem of all the M92p's waking up unexpectedly, well... that's life in IT I guess.

  • IPad won't stay turned off

    My iPad2 stays turned on and draining the battery.
    Closing the cover doesn't put it to sleep.
    I also tried (several times) the hard shutdown... Holding down the start & top buttons for over 10 seconds until the screen goes black. Then as soon as I let go, it reboots itself, all the way up to the home screen.
    Happens on repeated tries.
    Anyone else experienced this obviously wrong behavior? It just started happening to me over the past 2 or 3 days. I've had the iPad for about 19 months.

    That didn't do any good either. I' sure now that it's an iPad hardware failure. Several weeks ago, the volume control buttons stopped working ... Press them, and nothing happens. The folks at the apple store tried restoring the unit etc. etc. and nothing helped. They finally noted that the sound would still work if an external speaker is plugged in -- but ONLY if an external was plugged in. They told me that the motherboard was failing and that nothing could be done about it because the 1-yr warranty had expired.
    So I' m sure this latest problem is just the next step in the slow death of the hardware, even tho the unit has never been dropped or got wet.
    I guess I must just have got a lemon (I assume that not ALL IPads hardware start failing within the first two years).
    I'll think about replacing it with a new one, but first I'll take some time to look at Android and Microsoft tablets, too.

  • Macbook won't stay turned off. Please Help

    so i spilled some water on my keyboard and a few of the keys are no longer working however one of the keys is acting like its held down thus keeping my macbook powered up. so every time i shut down it just powers right back up. My question is will an external keyboard cancel out the built-in keyboard and is there a way to make my macbook only power up by pressing the power button at the top right to temporarily fix my problem until i can get it fixed or buy an external keyboard. Any help is good help at this point.
    Thanks
    Jeff

    I've had this same problem off and on for months. It is a major pain since the battery drains quickly win the phone won't stay in the standby or off modes.
    I went into the genius bar once but it stopped having the problem about an hour before my appointment.
    Usually when this occurs I just dock the phone and hope for the best. Sometimes it fixes itself when attached to the doc and sometimes a hard reset works, but not always. Of course, when I'm out and about I'm screwed since the phone drains quickly.
    I am currently experiencing the same problem so I will try a restore at home.
    I want this addressed before my warranty is up!

  • Computer won't stay turned off

    Hello,
    I have a wierd problem with Arch linux. Doing "shutdown -h now" only gets me to a "power off" message then I have to manually turn off the computer--then after the computer is off for 5-10 minutes it turns back on.  I have to actually unplug it to keep it off.
    I am using a custom compiled 2.6.5 kernel with a Dell dimension v400 pentium II.  The same problem happened when I installed arch with 2.4 kernel--yet it hasn't happened with any other distro that I have tried with this hardware (redhat, gentoo, vector, debian) what is the problem??
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    -Dustin

    Adding this to grub:
    (hd0,0)/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/di ............ acpi=on acpi=power-off
    did not work..
    I recompiled the Kernel with no acpi support and now the computer will stay off (don't need to unplug it anymore), but I still have to press the power button to shut it off (no big deal).  Also I was having a problem where the network card would not work after a soft reboot, now it does
    thanks for the help

  • My iPhone 4S won't stay turned off without being plugged into a charger . I reset it and nothing .. Help

    Please help !!

    Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If still problem and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take to Apple. If no coverage, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. If still problem, next step would be to replace the iPhone charging port with attached flex cable. Apple would handle this with Replacement iPhone 4S for $199.

    See Here for
    Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore...
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

    Sounds like a hardware failure.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced.

    If you have done the reset and nothing appears and you are sure it still has a charge and it doesn't turn on, you may request for a replacement if it still covered by the warranty. Cheers!

    My phone just turned off and won't turn back on. I've read the posts saying to hold down the home and power button but my power button is broke. Any suggestions?

    There is a thread or two about the home button and how to fix it at least temporally.  It sounds like some people have found it to be a rather permanent fix.  Do search on something like "Home button won't work".  It has something to do with putting the charging cable into the phone and applying a little extra pressure upward on the key.  Don't take my word for it though look for the thread/s.  You said originally that your "Power" button was broken and the thread I have seen is about the Home Button.
