First off, it has never been dropped by me to rule out any physical damage. The same can be said about moisture.

However, today, I made a phone call, ended the call and the phone suddenly went blank and started to vibrate nonstop before turning off. When I tried to turn it back on, nothing would show on the screen, but it would vibrate continuously then stop.

I removed the battery and SIM replaced, nothing. I came home, plugged in the charger, same vibration, no screen. Plugged in the USB cable, it vibrates continuously with the keypads lit. Plug it out, it vibrates still with keypad lit and then stop.

In addition, I would uninstall certain apps/games from my M2 card and restart the phone and when I start up, it's asking me to reinstall these apps/games. I would just click on the close button to exit that dialog box. Not sure if my actions had anything to do with it, but just stating everything here.

I bought this phone online, shipped to family in the U.S. then it was brought to me here in Jamaica. So guys sending it back to Plemix.com (even after flashing with XS++ from HK FW to WG1 and updating to new FW) is not an option.

Any ideas what is happening with my phone guys? Is it now totally useless? Before I consider taking it to a local technician I want to know if there is anything I can do. I've done all I could think of. I got my P1 on January 8, not one month yet. The only issue I realized was that now and then it would "restart to improve performance".

Someone please help me...this is depressing. Was even considering putting it up for sale IF/WHEN this issue is fixed.

Feedback appreciated.

Simply reinstall the firmware, download SEUS first.

My battery is not charged enough to allow SEUS to update it.

Edit: So I tried updating with my phone vibrating like crazy. It went through the process, reinstalled the firmware, removed the battery as it said, tried to restart and IT WORKED! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
