Thk you very much!I'm with Nelviticus on this one if its not software causing a reset instead of power off. Give the usb port a clean. If there's around 255k across pins 4 and 5 of the USB port it will cause the phone to switch on.
Mine does exactly the same. It is the worst decision ever buying this phone. that is just one of the problems. The battery lasts 4 hours, Driving Mode and Voice Command turn themselves on, it freezes, answers calls on speaker phone. that is to just name a few!!!!!
I have the Samsung Galaxy SII, and found I could not switch it off. I could hold the button down, clear the warning about the phone being switched off and it would appear to turn off. A few seconds later the lights on the virtual keys would light up and the phone would start up again.
I tried cleaning the USB port and still no joy.
So, I let the phone run down until it shut down by itself, then I removed the battery for 23.6 seconds (LOL!) then reinstalled the battery. It did not start up (good) and plugged the phone into the mains charger until it had finished charging. I turned the phone on, and all was good, and shut the phone down and it stayed off. I tested it several times and it seems ok now.
What must be remembered, is that this is a computer, and it's going to behave differently to the old Nokia 5110 phones!
Hi grizz1988, I would say you need to check your settings for 'answer calls on speaker phone', there must be an option somewhere. As for the other issue with driving mode and voice command, maybe you are accidently double clicking the 'home' button? And if you battery is lasting 4 hours, maybe you have a fault with the phone? When I tested my phone for the shut down problem (to discharge the battery), I had the WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS turned on all the time, played games and stuff on the phone and it kept going for 44 hours.
For me, this phone is simply the best, yea, it may have issues, but so does everything. It's a computer after all. For every thing this does, it's amazing.
This worked for me also. Thank you for posting.I had this problem too. I also had the MTP application cranking up all the time and scanning media. I went to Settings/Applications/Development/ and ticked USB debugging. This solved the problem and the MTP application starting all the time. Good luck.
i am having the same issue, but in addition to that when i turn off i got a sign on the screen of a temperature on the battery. did you have the same issue?WTF? Did you read my earlier posts on this problem? It's a hardware - not software - problem, caused by the USB connection. Installing software will not resolve the problem and will only further inconvenience people.
Clean the USB socket out with something like a dry toothbrush. Dust & debris can get in there and short out some of the connections, confusing the phone.
