Try safe mode to see if it happens in safe mode. To get to safe mode hold the power button till the power off message appears. Press and hold the poweroff message until it asks if you want to go into safe mode. Let us know what happens when you try in safe mode.

[Q] Samsung or Android flaw?

Ive discovered this by accident but while the phone is in standby modus and and the screen is locked, when you press the powerbutton for ~5sec the phone reboots.
In my opinion the "reboot" function mapped to the power button should only be working when the phone is screen unlocked.
Is this a samsung or android thingy?
what do you mean by stand by mode ? when screen is off and not being used ? this doesnt happen on my device...
just dont press the power button for 5 seconds and hey presto !!! job done lol
isn' tthis good feature?
It may help a little when
a. not able to 'wake-up' a sleeping phone
b. upon waking-up , force close message keeps on appearing
In b, i have to take out battery and when using my case-mate barely there cover, it's inconvenient to pry it open.
oops.. I didn't answer your actual question.
Sorry, dunno if this is Samsung thingie or Android thingie. But I can "reproduce" the effect on my phone.
It's not reboot though - it goes to "switch off" mode

mine comes up with a message to shut down the phone or enter flight mode or silent mode or data network mode if you hold down the power button for 5 secs in stand by mode.
If your not getting that message first its possible that your firmware is faulty or if its not a stock firmware it may have not been added correctly.
same here i get message.. stock jpy with speedmod kernel
No i meant like for example you put the phone in your pocket like you normally do and the powerbutton gets pressed for ~5sec while your bent down or another position the button gets pressed it would reboot. Im not really happy with that happening would you.
Im on stock js3 onlything i mod was putting the voodoo kernel on it.
Its a good thing
You'll be happy when the phone freezes and you don't need to take it apart to reboot it (pull battery)... Its just like a power button on a PC, if you hold it long enough it shuts the device down. I've never done it by accident though. Just get a $.99 plastic case and your problem will be gone but you'll still have the feature.

[Q] [URGENT] Screen frozen then goes black

Hey, I received a notification on my watch, so as I go to look at it (the screen is always on mode) the watch is frozen in ambient mode. When I hard reset it, the screen just goes black but I still receive vibrations upon various actions. Any ideas? I really hope the screen isn't dead. There have been no other signs of damage...
The watch is connected to my phone.
Can you enter in recovery? Try a factory reset.

Well I mean I can't see anything on the screen so I'm unsure how to go about doing that
The device also does not appear to have a reset button at the back
Press the button of the watch loooooooooong, until it starts and stops vibrating continuously (first you will feel a short vibration then a very long one.... you need to keep pressing the button while it vibrates for the long interval as well).
After the long vibration the device will restart ... IF you see the LG logo, swipe from top-left to bottom-right of the screen ...

Thanks for the suggestion, but the screen remains black. Note I also do not feel a short vibration beforehand.
Sorry .. the short vibration will be felt only if the watch is awaken. From the dim mode it goes directly to the long one.
It seems that your watch has a problem. you can try to access it through ADB (if you enabled it) or you can just leave it until it will become completely depleted and try to revive it again afer that.
see this post: here
activate warranty is the current solution
I have the same problem, with no warranty so the watch is just sitting there for now

[Q] ATT Moto X 2014 Freezing Constantly

Hello all,
I got this phone about a month and a half ago, and since I got it I've noticed a lot of freezing and crashing (more so after the 5.1 update).
Some examples:
-I try unlocking the phone from active display and the screen goes black. The only way to get out of it is to hold the power button to restart.
-Sometimes the phone freezes on the lock screen randomly, and when I pick up the phone to look at it, the time is wrong and I can't physically unlock the phone, only turn the screen on and off, leading to me having to hold the power button down to shut off and restart.
-When on some apps, like twitter for example, the phone freezes, and I cannot do anything except turn off the screen by pressing the power button. When I try waking the phone, it stays black or sometimes theres a flash of the screen I was on before, and then it goes black again. Only thing I can do here is hold the power button down until "Power Off" shows up on the screen, and I press that to shut the phone off.
Today I cleared the cache, and since then the phone has froze once, causing me to do a hard reset. What should I try next? Any idea what the problem could be?
Thank you for the help.
I have pretty much the exact same thing going on. It started last night... I first noticed I had some charging issues where the phone wasn't charging very quickly after the battery died (after a day of heavy use). I let it sit for awhile, then it booted up, and it showed the motorola splash screen. It gets all the way to the lock screen, although I'm unable to unlock the phone. The screen goes dark. It appears to still be getting texts and the like- although this screen blackness issue makes it so I can't unlock the phone. The one thing I can do is hold down the power button and turn it off. I've tried loading fastboot and doing a factory reset, although nothing appears to happen and it boots the same way. The other thing about it is that it appears to be running hot- way hot. Any ideas? I'm running stock rom, Verizon network, just updated to 5.1 when it came out last week.

HTC One Bricked - Turns on, but can't access fastboot or recovery

So my friend sold me his busted HTC One, telling me it wasn't turning on. I took it upon myself to get it fixed up.
It seemed completely dead, but after plugging it in to charge, and holding power + volume up + volume down, I got it to turn on to the HTC screen when charging, then turn off. I can access the bootloader screen by holding power + volume down, but the bootloader screen goes crazy.
The first option will keep selecting itself, then going back and loops like that. If I try scroll down, it instantly selects the thing I scroll to, which is either reboot or power off.
If I select recovery on the main screen, it boots to the HTC logo and turns off.
Not too bummed, as I only payed $35 AUD, but really would like to try get it fixed up.
Thanks!

Sounds like maybe the power button is stuck on. Hence the reason it is auto selecting everything. Also it would cause the device to force reboot.
When it boots to the HTC logo, are the Capacitive back and home buttons flashing at all?

Ahhh I thought that may be the case! Should be a fairly easy repair then. The back and home buttons do not flash at all.

Moto G(XT1064) issue with Display and getting to bootloader

Hello, My Moto G 2014 has a weird issue. Pressing the power button basically kills and shuts down the display. The display cannot be turned on by pressing the power again.
Turning on the phone also does NOT show the display.
Only way i can see the display again is -
power off the phone.
get to bootloader
select reboot option
Then phone turns on nicely.................... untill i hit the power button again, then display is dead again.
Last couple of days, i'm not even able to get the bootloader. I tried pressing the power + vol buttons but no use.
I cannot use the adb option as i cannot turn on the developer options on the phone without display.
Really appreciate any help. Thanks
