Help [STRANGE] Note Won't Turn Off

Actually it won't stay off. I'm having serious charging problems and whike I wait for my replacement device I want to charge it while it's off, but everytime I turn the phone of it just starts right back up again..... Weird

Any ideas.
 
I searched for this issue because my ATT Galaxy Note is now doing this after updating to Android 4.0. Never had the issue before version 4.0.

Are many other people having this issue? I hold the power button, select to turn it off and after confirming the shut down it shuts down and immediately turns back on.

The power button does not appear to be stuck at all, I still feel the little click when I press it and it still works to turn on/off the screen.
 
I did have this problem initially right after flashing to ICS. I also thought it was a stuck power button due to the Commuter case. But that wasn't the case.

You could try to select reboot from the menu. Then after the reboot, select power off to see if it'll power down properly. Maybe some bug in the menu thinking you hit reset instead of power off.

I can't remember if that fixed it as I hard wiped to factory defaults twice already. Once after the update to play with it and see how it is; then second time prior to actually restoring my data.

One of these solutions fixed it for me as I haven't seen it since.

I started having this problem today: Every time I would try to power down the device it would restart it. It might have been a problem since I upgraded to ICS but today was the first time I tried to power down the phone for quick charging it.

I hit restart, then when the phone was off I took the battery out. When I put it back together I was able to power on and then power down several times without issue.

I think it's a bug with the menu that will clear up when you hit reset instead of power off initially. Then selecting power off afterwards will work. I think GB had 3 selections on the menu while ICS has 4. So the extra command in the menu might have messed things up a bit.
