Not a 100% on this one, so don't take my word for it.
On my Xoom tho, if I needed to do a "battery pull" (I doesn't have removable battery). Holding Volume up & power at the same time would restart it.
Worked when it froze due to bad flash or me over clocking it and it freezing etc....
Hope this helps

Yep, as the person above stated, this is like a virtual pull, it is hardwired into the system that doing that is a batterypull

That's good to know so we can flash at ease because God knows how many times I've had to pull my battery experimenting. Phone looks great might get this over s4

Shutting down constantly

Hi everyone,
I'm having a Galaxy ExhibitG and it starts to shut down constantly everytime I open too many apps or run something too heavy. And it won't let me power on the phone and even if I can the bettery status went crazy (from 90% to 0% then 20%)
One solution to this is to plug my phone in the charger constantly, but I need to take it to work and school.
The problem actually started to happen after I flashed Linaro CM 10.1 romm by smartguy(for got the number)
Any idea why?
Thank you.

Sounds like you might have a bad battery

So I should get a new battery now ?_?

I an positive its your battery myself and plenty of others have had this exact problem. Amazon and eBay are your friend if you don't want to spend $40+

Help!!! My phone was hacked!

OK so the weirdest thing happened just now. I was charging my atrix HD when I went on it to check a phone number. Then it started opening apps and going on xda then other apps. I had no control over it. I couldn't even turn it off. I had to do the power and volume down thing to shut off. It was very creepy. I was just looking for a minute while the person did what they did. It was like when a person from dell controls your computer if something isn't working right. At first I thought it was being laggy but no! It kept going settings were changed and the person tried playing music on it! I turned it off before he could but the wierdest part is that I had turned of my wifi and set my phone on airplane mode so it can charge faster. No communication what so ever. Right now its off and I plan to keep it that way until someone can tell me what to do to protect myself. Also this could have been happening before i went to go check my phone. Which was like 15 minutes before I checked it. Please help

Maybe you installed an app that had a RAT or some other virus in it

That's what I'm thinking. A bad app. The likely hood of it being hacked are slim.

What apps have you installed recently? And have you sideloaded any apps?

I haven't installed any new apps. Just updated.

Anything I can do? Has anyone experienced this before?

I'm guessing you handle it like you would handle a virus on a computer and just wipe everything and start over.

Did you use any Samsung charger?

android is very hard to hack probably a virus delete data in cwm

Best thing to do is just wipe.
Easy way to do it is to go to Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset
It was probably a bad app.
Click thanks if I helped!

Another thing to be aware of is I've noticed Motorola's screens (at least on the Atrix models) are kind of finnicky. If there's a little bit of moisture around they just start registering touches on their own sometimes.

With my battery life being... less than ideal.. I find myself plugging into all kinds of chargers along my travels. Some non moto chargers make my phone go nuts, exactly like what was described - apps opening etc. Have experienced this several times. Feel the other explanations are possible of course but highly unlikely.

There was a story on the news recently that someone's iPhone was hacked by trying to charge at a public charging station. I would be weary of these charging stations.

Airport WiFi connections are VERY insecure. Basically they monitor everything that goes through. Text messages, calls, anything. Maybe they also have access to control phones?

I agree with above post non oem chargers can make the phone act funny especially the cheap dollar store chargers get an oem cable the you will know that it will work for charging and data.

The only fix I know for this problem is the eBay solution. Buy a new battery.

Thanks,
I just thought there might be something like that freezer trick that could work. Your help was appreciated.

Ultra power save mode

Just curious on everyone's thoughts on this power save mode.
I actually love it. Who uses it? How often do you use it?

I think its a great feature, although with the great battery life I am experiencing I have yet to really need to use it. I may just not charge my battery next weekend so I am forced to use it, but it sounds awesome.

I haven't really used it since I'm always near a charger. However, I think I'll probably utilize it when I'm out camping over a weekend or on a long hike to save juice. seems promising for that.

Turn it on as soon as I clock in, and only turn it off for lunch...something about clocking out with 90-93% battery, putting it on my car charger, and getting home with 100% battery is life-changing (not that serious but I'm sure u understand)...imo best feature aside from toolbox

I definitely like the idea of it. I would use it a lot more if Gmail was one of the apps you could use.
