must have been said in this thread already, but i'll say it anyway
my phone got stuck on the Galaxy Note logo when i took it out from my pocket yesterday.
1. manual reboot - does not work (or did not solve it)
2. battery pulled out - - does not work (or did not solve it)
3. wiped caches - - does not work (or did not solve it)
4. reinstalled on top after wiping caches - does not work (or did not solve it)
5. factory reset and reinstalled via recovery - does not work (or did not solve it)
so i gave up. after maybe half an hour the curious wife simply pushed the volume up button (it was off im sure as i pulled the battery and put it back in without turning on the device), the galaxy note turned on! and the apps in the /preload were loaded. contacts were not deleted (should have been if it performed a factory reset, right?)
what just happened here, can somebody explain?
