Keeps turning itself on...

[SimonR]

Hey there,

After months of reliability and good service, my Blue Angel has started misbehaving!

If I use it for any reason and then turn it off, it waits for a few seconds and turns itself back on again. It's as if I'm about to receive a call or text, but nothing happens.

So I turn it back off and the same thing happens about three times.

It does eventually go back off and stay off for some time, but then will randomly turn itself back on some while later. This is particularly annoying when it's in my pocket and I start calling people and/or pressing random buttons on the screen. It also runs the battery down rather badly.

System Info:

I've tried the reset button but don't want to do a factory reset if I can avoid it...

Cheers all.

Check if you have your bluetooth turned on.

With the BT on it turns itself on several times.
I hope it will get fixed...

I won't - this is already a fix :) Look for BigMike's BT fix for more info.

Hey, thanks for the info, chaps.

I searched for this problem before asking the question but then asked it because I didn't think it was a BT issue - I can't remember the last time I used BT on this device.

Anyhow, between asking the question and reading the answer, I did a factory reset, which didn't work until I went in to the settings and turned on the button lock. Weirdly this seems to have fixed the problem, even though I know it wasn't pressing buttons that was turning the device on; driving home yesterday the BA was on my car seat and just kept randomly turning on.

Anyway it seems fixed for now and I will see if the BT issue crops up in the future. I do use BT sometimes so it may well do.

Thanks to all as always, what a useful and friendly community.

Simon R.

I there!

this problem was happening to me, then i realise that the power button sometimes got little sticky, only find out when i disassemble the phone, then put some contact cleaner, because i didn't have any button at the moment... and it works it's good again!! :)

If you try that be very carefully because you could broke the sound volume button when assembling the phone... :S
