Stuck on red eye screen

Earlier today, my phone was half turning itself off, where it would go black and it would take minutes for it to become responsive. I successfully rebooted it many times, but this time, it is stuck on the red eye screen and has been for a couple hours. I have tried holding the power button and the volume down many times and I get the same result. I have tried to press all three buttons, but nothing was different. I don't know what to do. Please help!!!

Hey JimmyC96, let's get those awkward looks to stop and get this phone working for you! Did you try the Soft Reset http://vz.to/1qGYJwt ? This option will definitely turn the phone on automatically. If that did not work, I would recommend a Hard reset http://vz.to/1qGZZiV after backing up your device. You can use Verizon Cloud app to back up your device, so you don't lose important information.

Hello lelagroon!

I'm so sorry to learn about your phone being stuck on the Droid Eye screen! Let's figure this out OK? You mentioned this just started happening, so I'd like to first ask you to remove the SIM card from the device for about 60 seconds. Then, reinsert the SIM and attach the device to the charger. Keep me posted on your results, thanks!

same issue here, pulling the sim card out does nothing.

Thank you! I appreciate the insight, nkrein. How long has this been going on for you? Where you able to complete a soft reset with the device? http://vz.to/1iMrbdn

Mine did same thing about a week ago...was on phone with Verizon for about an hour, nothing worked. They issued a new replacement, which is factory refurbished ( NOT A FAN) and so far it's ok. BUT I am back at 4.1.2 with it telling me there are no updates. Can someone help me?

Mine is doing the same thing. I tried all these suggestions hard, soft reset and now I am ready to just give up. It happened after I got this text message from 6200 //F1 TYPE=SAS;UI=1;CONT=0,2,0; I'm Frustrated.

Hello ibaron,

I'm sad to hear about the trouble with your DROID Razr. What was going on before you received this message? Were there any changes to your device? How long have you had this device?

I'm currently having this issue. However, my phone, after being powered down, will turn itself back on after a few seconds. I've tried this, I've tried (unsuccessfully) to reset the cache. I'm starting to get awkward looks from other students in my college's union with every tantrum I throw for the failure to get off the red eye. I was planning on going to the local Verizon store to get it looked at but ran out of time. Any help is appreciated.
