Design-or bug?

[thehudd]

First of all, let me say how much I appreciate the knowledgeable folks on this forum and how much I've learned while lurking around. Secondly, I've got the GB update and have been very pleased; no issues with apps, contacts, upside down maps or the like.

That said, I've experienced something I've not seen commented on. When I power off the Droid X, choosing "Power Off" after pushing the power button, the phone will turn off, but then turn itself back on after ten minutes or so. If I "Power Off" a second time, it remains off. I know that other options are available after the update, but this has happened each time I've shut it down.

Anyone else, or is this normal behavior? Thanks in advance.

Lol never turn my phone off that long but sounds like a bug

I have seen that when I had device plugged into pc  usb when powered off, do you by chance have device plugged into pc when this happened?

[thehudd]

No, not plugged in. Just sitting there on a table, all by its lonesome self

I have also had this issue.  I had it with Froyo as well.  So I'm thinking it isn't a GB specific issue.  So far I have not found a solution or reason for it.

Well, I never had it happen with Froyo, but since the update I've "enjoyed" the spontaneous restart every time I've powered it off. The odd thing is once it has restarted and I power it off a second time, it stays shut down. Maybe I'll just have to live with it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Trying it now and if it works I'll let you know. So far, so good. And yes, I am aware of the sleep option and am sure I have selected power off. In the past it's been like the snooze button on an alarm clock. Shuts it down for ten minutes or so, then blasts away. Then it will, in fact, power off on the next try. Anyway, if this works I'll call it fixed.

[thehudd]

Nope, same old, same old. For a little more information, I will say that the "power off" that results in a restart is of shorter duration than the "power off" that actually shuts the device down.

Thank you for your feedback. In a suggestion to thehudd, please try not plugging the device into a charger and pull the battery. After a full minute, re insert and power on the device. Afterward, repeat the process of powering off your device completely to prevent it from making a data connection that can revive the device if any form data is attempting to access your device. By the way the device is starting up much quicker than the second time you attempted to power off the device, seems like it went into a sleep type mode where the data connection was truly not disabled as compared the second time in  powering off the device.

Well, for the first time since the GB update, I just powered off the device two consecutive times and it stayed off. For now, I'll except that as a solution, until and unless. Thanks EdW_VZW for the suggestion.

Mine rebootedcon its own when I put it in the car dock. But anytime I power it off, it stays off.

Gingerbread added a choice, "Sleep" which, as with a computer, puts it into suspended animation. This selection will return you to your homescreen, but there is no phone, no incoming data. Are you sure you're not tapping on this?
