my Pre keeps turning OFF for no reason...

scotttk · 10-12-2009, 11:10 AM

.. happened 3x yesterday and twice already today...

In order to turn it back on, I have to hold down the top/left button for a few seconds and then it takes about 2 minutes to cycle back up.

seems to happen when I have been doing NOTHING with it...

Common problem?

Bug?

Any one with a similar situation? Solution?

Yes, I am up to 1.2.1 as far as the OS goes and it DID NOT happen before I got updated... but it's been several days since the upgrade and this started 2 days ago.

Open up the back of your pre, take the battery out, push the contacts back up a tiny bit, put the battery back in nice and snug against the contacts and turn the phone back on. Should fix the problem. Mine was doing the same thing for like 2 weeks.
