My phone shut down.  Wont reboot!  Help anyone?

My phone shut down.  Upon turning it on i get the Apple logo and then nothing.  Sometimes it then says activate phone with itunes.  But itunes does not detect the phone?  Help anyone?

That's terrible, Lisa_M! We need to get your phone up and running immediately! Was your phone fully charged when this happened? If not, connect your device to your PC or outlet and let it charge for 20-30 min! Did your phone incur any physical or liquid damage? If you need additional assitance, please follow and send a DM to ChaunceyM_VZW and I will reach out and address your concerns. Have a great day!

  • X shuts down and reboots

    Has anyone experienced the phone shutting down and rebooting. I can have my phone sitting next to me and it will go to a black screen and the eye pops up and reboots.

    Rebooting of the DX was the major point why I returned that phone.
    I had my DX for 4 days and it was rebooting constantly, about 7 - 9 times a day.
    VZ tech told me that it is a known issue with DX and therefore I returned it thinking to get Incredible.
    However, my brother-in-law that has Incredible and his phone reboots too (though not as often as my DX). That makes me thinking what if problem is not a phone (Droid X) in particular, rather than Moto Blur skin or Android OS in general.
    I was reading that rebooting may in fact be related to Advance Task Killer if it is being set to Auto-Kill mode as it could be killing some running processes which are required by OS.If Auto-Kill is disabled and applications are being killed manually it should resolve reboot problem.
    DX hardware has 512 MB of RAM but in my case I was ending up with less than 50 MB (less than 10%) of RAM only after an hour of phone just sitting there without single application being touched by myself. I understand that about 200 MB is being used by OS and another 100 MB is being used by all essential subprocesses (Moto Blur) but that should leave me with 200 MB of RAM not 50. Those little pesky bloatware programs that VZ forces on you should be either disabled, uninstalled, or not being loaded into memory constantly.
    In regards to controversy of needed or not Advance task killer, I am personally felling that I needed that just to kill all of the bloatware that VZ placed on that phone and which is being loaded constantly into memory. So as far as I am concern, issue with reboot is all VZ fault and that is why this is a "known issue" for them.

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • Battery life issue, phone shuts down

    HI I have an iphone 4S running 6.1.1 and with 10.6GB avail space running 3G on the Fido network. Had the phone for less than a year and it was sent to me as a refurbished
    My phone shuts down before it gets to 0%. Sometimes it lets me get to 0% and does a normal shut down, but in some cases it will suddenly just shut down and claim it has no battery life left, then when plug in loads up right away, exactly with all the same apps open and with a good chuck of battery.
    Today for example
    - Was at 70% when went out on a bike ride
    - 2 hours later and after some tethering and listening to music it shuts down all of a sudden while looking at a tweet
    - Try to turn back on, says its out of battery
    - Get home and plug in, starts up at 17% right back at the same tweet

    I have the same issue with the same 4S.  I thought it was a bug with the camera because it would happen while I was in the middle of taking a picture.  The phone would shut down and after attempting to restart it prompted no battery life.  But once I plugged the phone in it would start up and show the proper battery % left on the phone.
    Another forum on here stated a probelm is with the cold weather which was cauing the battery to lower in tempature, falsly causing a depleted percentage which forced a shutdown. They said all they had to do was let the phone warm up and it would reboot back up just fine.
    I thought it odd but most of my issues were when I was outside. That is until just last night when I was in my kitchen taking a picture of something on the counter and it again shut down. I had to plug in the charger, boot it back up and once back up I went right back to the kitchen and tried again and it happened again. So I plugged it in again rebooted and then unplugged the phone and let it sit about 10 minutes on the counter and then tried again and it worked.  I am not sure the cold had anytyhing to do with it this time because I had been home a couple of hours already and my home is 70 degrees.  It is frustraing. I find myself caring a backup battery to plug in the phone if and when this happens when I am away.  Not a good solution.

  • Shut down and Reboot problems

    Hi All
    I hope I can find help for my problem as it is getting really frustrating. I have Lenovo X230 tablet which used to run fine until it suddenly will not shut down or reboot. The screen will turn black however the small led lights on power and other button
    will remain on and the the laptop will remain like this until I press the power button to physically shut it down. When I tried to restore the system to an earlier point, the laptop will not reboot and I had to press the button again to shut it down and then
    power it up. It showed after that reboot was successful but to no avail. I tried to reboot it to even an earlier point (still I had to manually reboot it) but it failed. All drivers are up to date and I always install Windows updates as soon as they are out.
    Still I have to push the power button when I install new windows updates when reboot is required because the screen will go black as I already mentioned with the power still on. I do hope to get helo with this. 
    Thank you 
    Qas

    Hi,
    As this problem occures with no symptoms, in my opinion, it would be better to make system restore to revert your system to a former normal time point for test.
    If the problem persists after system resotre successfully, it would be better to contact Lenovo support to check Hardware problem.

  • Phone shuts down during phone calls

    Using a 3G phone, my husband's phone shuts down during a phone call. It doesn't seem to matter where he is or the other person's carrier. The phone comes back on after hitting the Home button a few times. Today it happened right in the middle of a short cal so length of call has no bearing.
    Any ideas?
    Message was edited by: esd37

    It is possible. If a case does only partially cover a sensor, then sometimes it may not cover, or it may, especially if it slides around a little bit.
    But with that said, there have been a lot of reports about 3G and dropping signal. Read just about any tech blog and you will see many posts about it, though no confirmation about a single cause (a lot of finger pointing).
    I'd say try without a case for a bit to see if it continues. If not, then you know that was it. If still issues, then could be related to the issues being reported about 3G.
    They are working on yet another update to try to help, but in meantime if still continues, there is a setting to turn off 3G and just use Edge. For phone calls difference between Edge and 3G really doesn't matter. Only when doing something online with the browser or an App that goes online, etc does 3G really help with speeds. So can also try turning off 3G and only turning it on when you need to go online with the phone. See if that helps with calls until update comes out.

  • Phone shuts down prematurely

    Sometimes when the indicated charge is below 20% or so, the phone shuts down on its own as if it has no charge.
    I know it in fact has a charge because I would connect it to a charger and immediately after rebooting, it would show an abnormally high charge -- approximately what the charge was when it shut down. So it's not like I charged it back up to that charge.
    I have run the phone down to legitimately dead a number of times since this started, and it started with iOS 7.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Shutting down and rebooting from xfce4 (SOLVED)

    I am wanting to shut down and reboot my system via xfce4. right now the two buttons are grayed out. I tried added myself to the power group by doing
    gpasswd -a username power
    That didn't seem to do anything at all. On the wiki, it talks about using dbus and hal (as an alternative to doing the sudo method) but i already have dbus and hal started by default and the two buttons are still grayed out.
    if there is already a message like this please guide me there. Any help would be appreciated.
    CORRECTION: adding myself to the "power" group did work.

    Strange - I used the sudo-hack and it worked for me. But after it stopped working, I saw the new instructions and enabled both hal and dbus and voila, everything worked.
    I did not add myself to the sys-group, so it should be something else. Did you install the whole xfce4-package or did you select certain packages? check if '# /etc/rc.d/hal restart' and '# /etc/rc.d/dbus restart' change anything...
    Zl.
    Fyi: i installed xfce4 and xfce4-goodies. I'll try your codes now.

  • Phone shutting down with 75% battery life left.

    Hello,
    I've had my iPhone 3GS for 1 month and it's developed a problem.
    The phone shuts down, and won't let me restart it.
    Holding down the power button and home button doesn't revive it, not matter how long I hold it on.
    If I plug it into charge, I get the battery symbol with a small red bar on the left, and the lightning symbol at the bottom. The phone still won't allow me to fire it up.
    After a short while (1 minute or so) the phone lets me fire it up as per normal. As soon as it's up and running, it's telling me I have greater than 70% battery life left!
    I've reset the phone preferences, deleted a load of unwanted apps (I was nowhere near full on memory capacity though) and restarted the phone by holding hte power and home buttons until the apple appears. This hasn't solved the problem.
    I'm going to try and run it totally flat (whatever that seems to mean) and give it a full charge a few times.
    Has anyone else come across this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pip

    Hi,
    Exactly the same problem here. I left it to charge for hours, but the red, low battery bar would not dissapear. When I unplugged it, the phone turned off after a few seconds. I managed to turn it back on a few times, and it showed battery charges of approx. 80%. But after a few minutes, it shut down automatically and showed the low batt symbol again . I returned it to the store. No news yet.

  • Why did my phone shut down when I started updating software?

    Why did my phone shut down when I started updating software?

    Hi Patraposo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It is difficult to know why devices behave unexpectedly; however there are several articles on the Support site that can help recover your iPhone if the update did not complete.
    If your iPhone will not turn on, start with the steps in the "Power/Battery" section of this article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    If you just see the "connect to iTunes" screen, the steps in this article can help:

  • I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down. Please Help me!

    Hello!
    I have a MacBook Air. I have got a software update notification couple of days ago. I've clicked on it today, and it started installing updates.
    But, I have got a notification telling that not all updates were installed successfully, then I have clicked on "Restart" from the notification box. Then my Mac restarted and the white screen with Apple logo and the update progress appeared (like what always happens during updates).
    The problem that while the update progress reached around half the way, my Mac shutdown. I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down.
    Please Help me!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You did not state whether you installed the update while on battery (not mains) power. You are warned not to apply certain updates without being connected to a charger & mains power.
    Also remove any attached peripherals.
    Reboot in Repair mode (command-R at start)  and use Disk Tools-Disk Utility-Disk First AId to repair your disk, and as long as you're there repair permissions. Next quit Disk Tools and reinstall the OS. After completing that successfully reboot, log in and do a combo update.
    You must have more than enough (not just enough) empty (free) disk space for the update.
