Touch Pro that keeps restarting.
Last night I was at a concert and sent a few text then the concert got good so I stopped touching my phone. At the end of the concert I grabbed my phone and noticed it was off. When I attempted to turn it on it just vibrated like every 3 seconds over and over but the screen never turned on. I pulled the battery and tried again with the same result. This happened for about an hour. I finally attempted to boot it while holding the reset key. Upon doing so the phone actually booted but the second I let go of the reset button the phone would stop booting and would do the vibrate every 3 seconds. Next I tried leaving the battery out for a 20minutes and tried booting it. It booted about halfway then shutoff and went to the vibrate every 3 seconds. So next time I left the battery out for about an hr. The phone booted and I thought maybe it was fixed. It then began just randomly rebooting sometimes after 30 seconds of booting up sometimes 5minutes after booting up. So I took the battery out for the night and figured I would put it back in in the morning and hopefully it would be fine. Now it is morning and I have put the battery in the phone boots up and seems to work ok but the second the phone goes to turn the screen off it reboots every time.
Now I have a few questions about this. Anyone ever heard of this happening and can it be fixed? The important questions. I modded the rom and am running energy rom, Sprint is currently allowing its customers to add the insurance on there phones but I don't know if first they will allow me to get it because I purchased the phone from ebay and not them. Second will they cover my phone seeing as it doesn't have stock rom. Note: 1 post I read with an issue saying the phone kept restarting said the battery was the issue. I have 3 batteries and tested it did not fix it. Also I am affraid to attempt to flash the rom incase it rebooted in the middle of it. Thanks in advance. |

try cleaning up the contacts on the battery and the phone where it connects to the battery.

Re: Touch Pro that keeps restarting.
No, you won't be able to get insurance on it. It has to be a phone purchased from Sprint, and within so many days (30 or 60) of the initial purchase to use insurance. That's not to say that one of their Reps won't add it to your account, you'll just be S.O.L. if you try to file a claim.
Have you tried a hard reset on the device yet? If not give it a try and see what happens. Also there is a chance one of the ribbon cables is either damaged or worked its way loose. It's worth checking them out before giving up on the phone. |
Re: Touch Pro that keeps restarting.
maybe the soft reset buttom is stuck? i remember reading something like that a long time ago about the mogul... i think... but still, its a possibility.
