Cannot Boot Up

BennyKoay — Fri, 06 Sep 2013 10:31:47 GMT

Hi all

My phone was doing fine last few days. However, since today, if I restart the phone, it will not boot up. I have to press "Power" + "Volumn up" to reset. Then, wait for 5 minutes to boot up.

Anyone has this problem?

Thank you

Doing the power+vol up button only means ir phone hang that it cannot wake up from sleep. My acro s does that but only while watching videos (using mx player) and connected to a bluetooth speaker. When i pause it then wait until the screen goes to sleep, there are times it did not respond to power button that i really nid to reset it using the p+vup.

Nice copy/paste Sam.

Benn listen

If you recently tick/untick the Optimize Backlight in display setting it will leads to long reboot.

So don't worry just wait 1-2 minutes.

And remember after your click on Optimize Backlighting it will be alwase long reboot.

Regards.
