Well, it happened on the iPhone 3G, the iPhone 3Gs, and the Samsung Infuse 4G I had for only 29 days. And this morning, yep you guessed it, a lock-up happened on my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. I was browsing through my gallery of pictures on my phone and deleted photos that were already uploaded. The pictures began displaying and then... nothing. So, I waited, waited, 4 - 5 minutes later - nothing! I held in the Power Button for more than 5 seconds - nope.
Has your Android phone locked-up?
Fix: hold down the "Power Button" and the "Volume Up" button simultaneously for 5 seconds. This should turn off your Android OS, clear the locked application/process, restart your phone, and then relaunch the OS (operating system). If lock-ups or crashes happen too often it could be a bad install of an app, malware (bad app again), and a poor OS installation.

This happens to me a lot when I play Plants v. Zombies. :)
ReplyDeleteI usually just do a battery pull to fix it.
