It powered down and I thought the battery was dead. When I plugged it in it continuously flashed the backlighting without ever powering up. What could be the problem?
my phone shut down on its own and when i try to turn it back on the back light just flashes repeatedly. i do find that if i press hard on the zero while trying to turn the phone on it will power up but dies again when i release the pressure on the zeromy phone shut down on its own and when i try to turn it back on the back light just flashes repeatedly. i do find that if i press hard on the zero while trying to turn the phone on it will power up but dies again when i release the pressure on the zero

You may need a software update to your phone. You will need to call your cell provider and inform them of the problem. A software update will usually clear this up.
The Time on most Cellular Phones is controlled from the Network, so there is no way for the user to manually adjust it. Try turning the phone off for a few seconds, and when it boots back up, the time should be updated. If not, it might take another hour or two, but it will eventually be correct.
Buy a different phone and read reviews on CNET where you would've seen this http://reviews.cnet.com/cell-phones/samsung-sph-a660-sprint/4505-6454_7-30732916.html?tag=mncol;lst
This was a base model when it was put into production and so Sprint never had any intent of investing in things like quality control as some of these phones work perfectly fine and other have tons of problem
Plug it in and charge the battery. You should be able to turn it on while it is charging by pressing the power button. If it doesn't respond right away try holding down the power button until it turns on (well, at least 10 seconds or so). It is possible that the battery lost it's charge completely, but that's unlikely unless you have run it dry multiple times.
I have a similar probleme, when connected it's seem to be using the headphone instead of the speaker and mic! trying to change the volume will tell you if you're phone is stuck in this mode...blowing in the plug seem to disengage this fonction for a short period. I looking for a permanent disable fonction for the headphone now...
I've had my phone awhile, and it has always started slowly. It has probably been dropped to many times, or you have many recorded, downloaded, or contact files which just make it slower to start up. Like a computer.
When you shut it off, keep it open until the SAMSUNG logo has disappeared and the screen is black, otherwise it might/will stay on.
