Motorola Droid :: Phone Won't Turn On / How To Fix?
Apr 13, 2010
So my phone just turned itself off when I had just restarted it and it will not come back on. I've tried battery pull(and letting it sit there several minutes), sd card pull, charging it while there isn't a battery in the phone, and charging it with the battery plugged in.I can't get the phone to come back on. I'm rooted with CM(no overclock kernel). Do you guys think if I take it to verizon to get the warranty replacement I will get a 570 dollar charge after they replace it? What I mean is do you think they will be able to test it and figure out it wasn't stock and bill me.Also, do you guys have any ideas on how to get it to come back on?

I was at the Carolina Panthers game this past Saturday along with about 50,000 other people. I noticed that I only had 1x service most of the time. Didn't pay much attention to it at first. Well, I entered the stadium with 50% battery charge with an extended battery. Took a couple pics and texted about 10 txts. Well, towards halftime, all of a sudden my battery went to 5% then died, no warning. I assume that all of those people sucking up 3g made my phone continuously search for it hardcore. Anyone have a way to turn off 3g on the X?

Incase anyone wants to know how to get into Bootloader you turn the phone off then hold Power+Volume Down+Camera and it will go into Bootloader 2C.5C. It says Battery OK, OK to Program Connect USB Data Cable. When I plugged it in I got a driver failure instantly (win 7) so maybe someone else will have better luck.

My old phone would turn on, or come out of sleep mode when I received a text message, or any type of alert. Is there a way to make the Droid do that? I leave the phone sitting on my desk and I miss messages all the time because the phone doesn't kick on and I have the volume turned all the way down or off. But if the phone would light up, I would notice that.

Well, what happened was my screen turned blank. I could not turn off the phone. It was just blank. The buttons on the bottom of the phone will light on and off when pressing the power button. What am i suppose to do in this situation or any other situation where my Droid isnt acting right? Well, i didnt know what to do so i just took out the battery and put it back in. I am not sure if thats the proper way of doing it. I hope my phone will be okay after that. So, whats the right way of going at it?

Yesterday I clicked the update button on my droid, and now my droid is dead, all that appears is the motorola logo, even after pulling the battery. Of course technical support at Verizon has no clue what is wrong. The phone will not even turn off unless i take the battery out, the motorola logo shows until the phone goes dead.
As this is my second droid, I don't know that I want a 3rd one. My opinion is that the droid would be a neat smartphone-- if it worked. I doubt that anyone could ever consider using the droid as a business phone, since it randomly quits working. I've had many cell phones and blackberries and never had to return any of them.
I have the best buy protection plan, but not sure that entitles me to a new or different phone, since my droid is about 3 months old.

I turned off haptic feedback, but when I dial a number it vibrates with every keypress. This is NOT the keyboard, but the numeric onscreen keypad when making a call. How do I turn this off? Super annoying, makes the phone lag when dialing fast. Thanks.

How about a speed-trap layer to lay over on the turn-by-turn I've seen some GPS this is a third party add-on, wonder if it might be a layer add-on to Google turn-by-turn eventually?

I'm looking for an app that'll help me find my phone via GPS without always having to have GPS enabled. I have Wave Secure and it doesn't have an option to turn my GPS on remotely, Lookout Mobile Security is the same way and Where's My Droid app requires GPS to be previously enabled.
The Internet location ability's accuracy within 200-1000ft radius doesn't seem useful if my phones stolen. I don't think walking from door to door, trying to listen in on each house for my alarm would work out too well.
Any app that could turn my GPS on remotely via codeword text or Internet site would be extremely useful.

I would like to know if it is possible to swap the top and bottom pull out menus?
Also, if the phone is shut down will the alarm turn it back on?

So I use the task killer...and at the moment say when I kill tasks it'll tell me there is about 200M avaliable memory free...if I use the phone for a day it'll maybe go down to 150M even if I am still killing apps and there is nothing in 'running services'. If i turn off the phone and turn it back on it goes up to 250M. What is running that I can't stop myself to make it go down from the 250M but that I can just eliminate by turning off the phone?

Android 2.0.1 provides the feature to slide to turn sound on or off in the unlocking screen, but it seems it isn't possible to turn to vibra mode in this way. Does anyone have some idea?

Is it possible to turn off the 3G (other than using airplane mode)? When I got my droid X a week ago it was working and now it's not. I did turn off a number of things to save battery life and I connect mainly through WiFi but not the 3G connection is not working, no 3G icon on the status bar even with airplane mode off and the phone itself working to make calls (3 bars). I've looked all over "settings" to see if there is a way to turn 3G off and on and don't find anything.

So all of a sudden today I notice the weather wont update. Then I try turning on GPS. Won't turn on. The button is lit on the power dock but no icon. Also for some reason as I type this there is terrible lag. Can GPS be unavailable in certain places? I just installed gde. Don't know if that's it. Might have to hard reset?

This is my first post here and I wanted to know if there was anyway to turn off 3G and have wi-fi on?
I'll be in Canada later this week and I don't want to rack up any data charges while I'm over there. As long as I have data roaming off will I be ok?

Any ideas here? My phone has been acting up lately so I did a factory reset. So far so good with the exception of my 3G. It won't turn on. put the mobile widget back on and it stays in the "on" position, but no mobile network. Went into settings/wireless&networks, scrolled down to mobile network. It says turning on..., but it's not doing anything and won't let me check or unchecked the box. When I touch the screen it just highlights it. I'm really starting to hate this phone.

Anyone know an app that can disable 3G data services on the Motorola Droid? And before anyone says use APNdroid, the app does not work, still updates all my data services even when set to off. Basically I just want to disable data when I am at work so it saves battery.

I figured the 'training prompts' would stop after a couple weeks or so of using the various features of the phone, but they're still there, popping up randomly when the Droid is in the Motorola Car Dock.
