LG VX-4600
WHY DOES IT SHUT OFF?
Just purchased this phone a week ago... Love the phone! But I noticed a problem... First Night I charged it I woke up the phone was completely turned off.. I had to remove the battery to power it back on... This happenned again today while it was just sitting in front of me at my desk... is this a re-occuring problem or am I the only one? Any help advice or suggestions would be great... Thanx
...
I had the exact same problem. I got the phone 2 months ago. When I woke up the night after I had it just one day, the phone was 'dead'. I called VZ and they said remove the battery then put it back. It's happened two more times since. I don't know why it does it though. Other than that, the phone is fine.

It happened a few times so far... but not recently, I think its just when its bran new it happens.. i dont know tho, but like u said besides that everything is great, still love this phone

Well, my phone is 2 months old so it is not brand new. It only happened 3 times so I am not overly concerned but I wonder why it does happen. Have you used the WAP svc yet? Im dying to try it but I wanted to use it on a minute per minute basis and VZ claims you cannot and have to subscribe for a unlimited flat fee of 5.00. Have u tried it? What can u do on it?

To all of you who have been experiencing the shutting off of this what seems to be a great phone I just want you to know that the problem does not correct itself and nor does it get any better. I had this phone mailed out to me earlier this summer and I had two of this same make and model in a 3 week time span and both of the phones shut off for no reason. Back then when I put my concern on this forum I no-one was experiencing this problem but it's good to know that I wasn't the only one with this problem. Since then I have replaced this phone with the LG VX6000 and have not had a problem yet. When I spoke with a VZW rep I was told that the problem with the LG VX4600 is that the power save mode was the reason why the phone was malfunct...

I guess the power save mode is doing it's job too well then, eh? 🤣
I haven't experienced this issue yet after about a month and a half with the two 4600's we have (although we don't use power save mode). I have seen a few posts about other LG phones displaying this issue as well but had not seen the power save explanation. Interesting.

🤣 Ther is not a way to program this phone into power save mode it automatically doe this just like a computer does. This same feature is on several other LG phones

Regarding the shutting off and freezing problem, this issue may be related to a software glitch in the "Power Save" function. And yes, you can turn off the "Power Save" function.
Try going into your "Power Save" settings ( * under "Display"), set it to "Always ON" and see if that cures the problem.
Menu -> 8 (Settings) -> 2 (Display) -> * (Power Save) -> Always ON (meaning the power is always on)
