Playbook reboots insted of turning off

Hi, my playbook often reboots instead of turning off. I want to turn if off, but it reboots. Usually after reboot I can turn if off normally. Where can be a problem?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Press and HOLD all three keys... the Power key, the Up and Down volume keys, all for about 10 seconds or until you noticed the screen go black and the red LED blink. The device should reboot and power up.

Lumia 920 Randomly Reboots / Cannot Be Turned Off

Hello,
I have just bought a Lumia 920 today, and now have the problems described in the thread subject... Every few minutes while idle, the phone will power down and immediately power up again. This does render the phone useless to me...
When trying to shut it down to remove the SIM card I noticed I cannot even shut it off. It would instantly turn itself back on again.
Did anyone else notice this kind of behaviour from their Lumia 920 (or maybe other phones as well)? I was really looking forward to this device and this really ruins it for me
Thanks in advance!

Same thing on my Lumia 920 unit from ATT, received just today via online purchase. Began resetting within 30 minutes, and continues to do so, especially in places like voicemail and phone functions. Also fails to register initial settings like search engine (on every reset, goes back to Bing instead of Google) and other things I've had to re-configure 3 or 4 times. It took about four tries to get a Texas map database to download, despite using a home wi-fi right next to the wireless router.
I don't think this is a SIM problem at all, because the rests don't always take place in the phone section. And I've even turned the cell phone data feature off, and still the reboots. It MAY be the micro-USB connector, because since I've been charging the phone while initializing it, the resets happen with it inserted. But this is also the data cable, so if the unit resets all the time while moving huge chunks of desktop data, then it is useless. If the micro-USB connector is that rickety, more trouble is down the road.
This is a real shame, becuase I like the phone and was ready to switch from iPhone. Now I'm stuck with something I have to send back and try to get my old iPhone to work again, so at least I'll have some cell phone calls.
About eight hours of my time loading music, getting familiar, and configuring for my home desktop windows 8. If my Windows 8 desktop rebooted my machine eight times in only a few hours of initial usage, I'd be going back to old desktop as well.
Again, very sad, because this seemed to be a great phone with great features at a low-low price. I guess when it seems too good to be true, it is. iPhone may be falling behind in some ways, but at least it's been a reliable phone for three years.
Lucky I have 14 days money back, return to old phone, no questions asked. But it took less than half a day to figure out the phone didn't work.
About the only possible fix would be some firmware upgrade promised to fix it permanently, but they had better make a big deal about publicizing, or have a million returns on their hands.

Hi please help! After setting up a new mail account my wifi button has greyed out. I've tried rebooting it ie turning off and on but no joy. I'm a complete technophobe and have no idea what to do next. I can receive emails but am unable to reply. HELP PLS

Please can someone help a total technophobe?!!! I have recently set up a new mail account and since I've done that my wifi button has greyed out. Not sure what happened as I had help from my daughter. She doesn't think that she did anything wrong as has been an iPhone user since day one!! She's at work now so I'm totally lost. Please help. Many thanks.

it's' an issue on 4S..... here same problem, even after restore the firmware.... wifi and bt are lost....

Hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. Can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. How to fix this, please?

I had hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now it is looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. I can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. I think a big part of the problem is that someon one the internet (the hacker) was mirroring my hard drive. It seems to have locked up my system. I could be wrong about this guess, though. All I do know is that it is now looping on the last 4 iems, and I can't do anything.
Well, I can get it to turn on, but all it does is continously try to delete the last 4 items. When I try to reload Snow Leopard, it tells me my hard drive is full and that I need to delete items.
Can anyone help? I am so lost without my Mac. I am back on the PC, and though it works, I'm sure many of you will understand when I say it's just not a Mac.
Thanks.

I installed Snow Leopard using my Apple external Superdrive. I followed directions I found on the Apple site. Here is the article info: Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install
                 Article HT3910

Everything was going smoothly until I got to the reinstall part. I had to choose to reinstall on a hard drive or network drive. I've never used a network drive; just the hard drive. It seems that's where the troubles began. I selected the hard drive. It seemed to go well, and then I got the message that I needed to delete some files because I was out of space. I chose to get rid of my music files, but, there were only 636. I don't know what the rest of the files were. I was using the Secure Empty Trash command.
That was my first time doing an erase and install. I tried to do it again, but I now get a continuous error telling me that my hard drive is full and I must delete files. Only I can't delete files because 4 files are still being deleted and my computer won't let me stop the process.
I found out about the hackers mostly by the fact that whenever I used to watch something like Hulu or Netflix, I never had problems with internet connection or speed. Lately, I had internet connection problems. I went in to check my settings for my internet provider and found out the settings had been changed to public and all these extra computers were connected to my network.

My wifi wasn't working for more than 10 minutes at a time after updating to IOS8 and resetting network settings. I turned off google drive, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings and rebooted my iPad4. So far so good.

I have an ipad4. Wifi keeps cutting out after the upgrade even after I forget the network and resign on or reset all network settings. I deleted iCloud drive from my iPad, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings, and rebooted my iPad. Since I upgraded to IOS8 this is the longest wifi has consistently been working for me. Which is approximately an hour now. Anyone else find that this worked or have figured out if this or anything out there is a permanent fix?

Hi CollinGCC78,
It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are still having issues, you may want to double-check the steps outlined in the following article, in order if possible (apologies for replicating any steps you have already taken):

In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update. Now, ipod is not rebooting. Has screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on it goes back to this picture. I don't know how to reset so that I can restore my backup

In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update. Now, my ipod is not rebooting. It continues to display a screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on, it goes back to this picture. I don't know how to reset so that I can restore from my backup.
A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad. But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup.   How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After updating to IOS8, my iPad 2, which has both AT&T cellular and wifi, needs to be completely turned off and rebooted to get cellular service. Does anyone else have this issue ?

Hi Hi Steve Giusto,
If you are having issues with Xxx_state issue here_xxX, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
HT5137
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -

If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Rebooting when turning off and percentage problems

i have downloaded 3.1.3 and since then when i turn my iphone on in the morning my percentage will show the wrong amount, then when i unlock it a second later it will jump to the right percentage, an example is this morning i knew it was at about 45% but i turned on the iphone and it said 19% and a warning flashed up that i was at 20% then when i unlocked it it jumped back to 45%, it is so annoying..also it reboots when i turn it off at night which ruins my usage and standby times..and yes i have tried everything even restoring to a new iphone..anyone else having this? im going to send feedback i urge everyone else too.

Hi John, and welcome!

AirPort is turned off on reboot

Hi,
AirPort is turned off on reboot.
I don't have any setting for that.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

bwittbold, welcome to the discussions!
From your description, this sounds like an internal power supply problem on your AX, but it couldn't hurt to try a hard reset on the unit as a last resort. If this is successful, you will need to reconfigure the device.
Pull the power plug from your unit. Hold in the small reset button with an unfolded paperclip or something similar and continue to hold it in for at least 10 seconds while you plug the power cable back into the AX.
If this does not help, it is time to call Apple support for repair or replacement.

Turning off the iphone or rebooting it ?

Hey guys.
Just wondering, If i turn off my iphone 4 by pushing the sleep button untill
the slide to turn off appears, then sliding it off, will that reboot the phone ?
Whats the difference if i hold sleep and home for 15 seconds ? how is that different then turning off the phone ?
Thanks

Holding sleep and home until the Apple icon appears is the same as re-booting a PC - all systems are re-started from scratch.
Turning off is like hibernating - everything is restored to the same state as before the turn off
