I have the Samsung facinate and never have had any problems until today. The phone was working this morning but needed charging so I plugged it in to the wall charger and I heard it beep when it was complete. I didn't go to the phone right away but when I did it was frozen on the samsung black screen. I have been trying to get it started ever since. I pushed the the power button and the volume button now I have a screen showing the android system recovery<3e> its on reboot system now but it wont do anything! What do I do now? Oh, I had a system update yesterday not sure if it is related to the problem?

Pull the battery.......wait two minutes. Re-insert the battery. Should power up then. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Indian, for your suggestion.
Hello tootse,
Did Indian’s suggestion worked for you? If not, I recommend you attempt the hard reset on your device once again. Let us know if this is still occurring after attempting these steps.
Thanks,

I know it’s important for you to have a working phone FrustratedinAK! Sounds like you may have a bad memory card. Have you tested with the memory card removed? Also, remove and reinsert the battery. Thanks!

My phone quite working today as well. It goes from "service" to "no service" and it has been doing it for four hours now! I went to the store and they told me that there were some towers down but all my friends have service. Have any of you encountered this problem yet today?

I've had these issues and then some... my phone keeps on freezing up, i lose signal, my battery is constantly draining, i miss calls, i don't get some texts, pics don't com thru, the phone(s) keep on shutting down and re starting, I've had NOTHING but problems, I've done all the trouble shooting w/ vzw, and where has that gotten me? NO WHERE! after 3 replacement phones(all the same model of course) I'm seriously considering giving up on vzw, all they keep on saying is "I'm sorry but we can't exchange the phone for a different phone because the manufacturer hasn't reported any known issues with the device" yet if you look up the known issues on the device they are almost all listed!!! frustrated customer here, ready to give up on vzw and take my business where it might actually be appreciated!!!
