I have had an EVo since June 8th. Don't think I have had this. I do reboot on occassion to "clear the pipes" so to speak. I stream radio while riding a Harley and trying to start from a clean sheet before I roll.

I have hareware ver 002. You may be 003. Keep the issue alive but be sure you have TEP, lest you may be back to the Sprint Store soon.

I believe there is a 15 or 20 second delay that you have to wait.

The alternative would be a full soft reset that auto reboots.

Press the volume up and down buttons and hold the both down at the same time you press the power button. It might take 3 to 4 seconds but the phone will reboot like a normal soft reset.

i understand there is a delay upon power on. i can hold down the power button for two min. it just will not power on.

I've never had to wait more than 5 seconds to power my EVO back on after having powered it off.

Did you drop your phone on its top and hit power button? Changed roms?

You can install Sprintlovers rom, his latest roms include a reboot option when you hold down the power button, then you won't have to worry about pushing the button to turn it back on.

OMJ also has this option. I think OP has to find out whats wrong with phone. If pushing down power button he may have trouble in a recovery with power button working options.

If you have TEP (and everyone should) don't try to fix this with a ROM! Take your phone to the Sprint Store, hand it to the Tech or salesman and ask them to turn it off and on. Then ask for a resolution!
