Is my Pro on it's last leg?

[MrHerbDaily]

Something weird happened today. I swiped the screen to the left to access an app and the screen went black. As in the phone turned off. I knew for a fact the battery still had 50% charge. Holding the power button did not turn the phone on. I thought it fried on me. I held the power button for about 1 minute and suddenly it turned on. It booted fine and still showed 51% charge. Has this ever happened to anyone?

Did the phone switched off by itself ? Did reboot reset the phone by deleting your stuff ?

 

[MrHerbDaily]

Yes it switched off by itself. The reboot did not reset or delete anything.

While it's still running be sure to back up your data. Then give it a good charge and reboot, and see if it runs normally. Could have been just a one-time glitch.

It's happened to me before.

What version software do you have and who is your carrier? Have you done all the software updates?

 

[MrHerbDaily]

I'm on B12 and my carrier is Metro.

I backed up my contacts and it's been running fine today. Hopefully it was a glitch. One thing I forgot to mention is that about 2 weeks ago I had a severe battery drain in a very short period of time. I'm talking about the charge dropping from 45% to below 10 in a matter of an hour with the phone idling. I got the low battery chime and thought it was strange. Thought maybe an app got stuck and drained it, so I didn't think much of it. We'll see.

Every so often I've ran into a similar issue where some app/process goes bonkers and taxes the battery really hard. But if you take a look at your Settings >> Battery menu is there anything notable that stands out as a significant drain?

Ya that's because you all need to look at what apps are in your phone at the top you'll see a blank app unistall that and be ok wow that's a virus wow
