Phone randomly shuts off
 

My Moguls phone and internet service randomly shuts off as if i went to the comm manager and turned it off, Like ill be walking and ill here the sounds off it turning off and then when i used the phone i get the message sayin your phone is currently turned off will you like to turn it back on


WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE IT STOP

try to do a hard reset that would be my guess bro

Sounds like something in your pocket is hitting the comm manager button, then hitting airplane mode.

no, mine was doing this too... if you hold in the red phone button it turns off the radio...
hold it in for like 5 seconds... maybe you are pressing that somehow...

Yeah the 6700 did the same thing.

Of note, I tried to do it on the WM5 Alltel ROM and it doesn't do it... which is more the reason for me to keep the phone, since that royally sucked on the 6700... missing 10 or 15 calls and wondering why nobody is calling you... then looking at it and going "oh shit"

used the registry editor to turn off the hold the end key thingy and ill see if this stops it from doing it

so this problem was happening to me too so i followed the directions below but when i still hold the end call red button it still turns off my phone. do i need to do something else to disable this function?

HOW TO: Permanently Disable Flight Mode

You must have a registry editor installed on the PPC. I used PHM RegEdit
Go to the registry and change the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> ControlPanel -> PhoneExtendFunction -> CDMA

Change FlightModeSwitchByPnHEndKey to 0

This will prevent the phone from going into Flight Mode if you accidentally press the End Call button for too long.

Note that Flight Mode can still be used by tapping the signal strength meter. (I wish I could disable that too)

try doing it again make sure its right and then soft reset right afterwards

make sure you "lock" the screen.

thanks. a soft reset a couple of days after must have done the trick

it is your battery , that is def it . i had this happen to me only with my aftermarket battery , but even the stock battery , if the hard plastic get even a little bit shorter then the battery will diconnect enough to shut off or "reboot" the phone

he means the radio shuts off. not the entire phone.

Re: Phone randomly shuts off
 

Thanks for this trick. My phone would go into flight mode from time to time somewhat randomly and I did not figure out it was by accidently holding the red button for too long until just recently. This trick worked great for me and I just wish I would have found it sooner.

Thanks a Bunch.

i just recently upgraded to official 6.1 rom and now trying to disable flight mode by pressing the end key for a period of time but i cant seem to find the registry to disable. any suggestions? i was able to disable it before on 6.0 rom but not 6.1

Re: Phone randomly shuts off
 

I used the same registry change in 6.1 as I did in 6.0... worked fine for me.
