I plundered getting my SIM card inserted and suddenly I got a black screen with a picture of a working man telling me "Downloading, do not turn off target!!"
It has been like this for awhile now, couple of hours; is this normal? Or is something very wrong?

Seems you´ve entered flashmode.. I would tell you to remove your battery but that is not an option with the Tab??
Long press the power button until the device starts to reboot.

Nothing to worry about. This is android "download mode" for flashing firmwares/repair etc. Nothing is actually "downloading" unless you're flashing a firmware or something with odin, so It will be safe to use.

After finding out that the official GPS fix came out october 13th, on october 16th, i downloaded kies and did the update manually. Stupid me forgot to turn off OCLF so I soft bricked my phone. I brought it back to stock by using odin then updated through kies again. Everything was going great until...
I rooted my phone using OCLF..
I installed ext2 tools...
I then installed lag fix 2.2 AFTER it was proven it was fixed and ok with the GPS update.
Now everytime I don't use my phone (100% battery), I turn off the screen and when I get back to my phone, my screen would be off, so I would try to press the power button but it doesn't turn on. I would have to hold it down for one minute or so just so it can restart, and when it does, my battery dropped to atleast 40%.
I have no idea what is going on.
The update is wonderful but idk if I'm the only one experiencing this kind of problem.
Please get back to me asap
Thanks XDA

Bump! I'm still experiencing problems
I unrooted my phone and uninstalled ext2 tools along with lag fix and OCLF, yet when I put my phone on stand by and put it in my pocket, when I check two hours later, my phone would be off
Exactly right now, what just happened was I was using my phone and I pressed the power button (to put it on stand by), the screen turned off and when I realized I forgot to turn off my gps, I tried to turn on my screen again but it wouldn't turn on. I pressed it numerous of times and nothing. The screen won't turn on. So I had to pull the battery and turn it on again... I mean, does anyone have any ideas? Suggestions by any chance? Thanks in advance...

So I was playing with my nexus s and the screen shut off with out the old TV animation and woke it back up and I see SAFE MODE in the bottom left.
I rebooted and was back to normal..... has anybody else had this problem and how did it happen? What caused it?

I had the same thing happen to me last night as well. I'm not sure what caused it? Like you I rebooted my phone, and I was all good again.
Happened to me yesterday when booting the phone. Rebooted and everything went back to normal.
that happened to me when i had my HTC Hero CDMA
i never figured out what it was.
I had this same thing on my myTouch 3G. If you held down a button while starting up it put the
Phone in Safe Mode. It basically made all non-default applications not work. Did you guys try starting it up while holding a button?

I had the same thing. I remember I was trying to boot into bootloader with the down volume key. That didn't work but I think that may have been the cause. Of course I now know it's the up button that does it all.

Hi guys from what i have read the safe mode is in case you get app. that starts to act up my making your phone go nuts you can go in to safe mode by turn off your phone and while turning it on hold the menu button you go in to safe mode that way no third party app. are loaded so you can delete the app. that gave you the trouble that's what i have seen on the nexus s!!!!!!
good deal. I remember that I was wiping the screen off on my shirt while booting. Must have been what caused it. Useful info for the future for sure.
It happens when you turn on teh phone and half way through the boot process you hold the volume buttons
My phone is on but for some reason it won't let me use it, and the home screen keeps resetting and it keeps vibrating. I don't know why it is happening as this is the first time it has ever happened. I can login but its pretty much pointless as i can do nothing after that as it is frozen and then it just goes black and then the home screen comes back again.
It just happened after I clicked clear level 2 ram.
I'm on Bell with Froyo officially updated and no lagfix or anything.
You can't do nothing else than flash it with Odin. You have tutorials in Android development. Hope your 3 button download mode works!

So, I had this problem which I posted a thread about it a few hours ago
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619564 )
and I tried this steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394238 to restore stock.
When it finished, it booted and everything was fine, I think, and now it's stuck on the mytouch animated logo. I've been like this for like 10 minutes now. I am afraid to take off the battery and brick the phone, again but in a position where I can't fix it. It's like loading and loading and loading. I can't turn it off.
Btw, it didn't give me any error and it's not giving me any kind of error.
What you should do, if its been awhile as you have said, & by my calculations its been well over an hour, then take out your battery for about 5 minutes. Then put it back in, hold volume down then press power and hold them both til your phone boots up. If everything goes well it should attempt to update again.

I attempted the update again and it gets stuck on bootloader while it says "updating".
Maybe a bad download, try to download the PDIMG15 again

Hi everybody. My cellphone has started to be weird. The top of the screen became very hot. I am not playing game, I only do internet surfing. With that, my battery is dead after 10 hours with 1h30 screen open.
Also, when I put an alarm, he dose'nt sound. My phone is completly stock. What I should do? Should I got a replacement?

Just do a factory reset from the recovery menu. When turning on the phone press and hold the power and volume up button. It may take a little playing around with it to figure out when to let go, but a little blue bunch of text at the top left will say booting recovery or something similar.

This doesn't sound like something that a factory reset would fix. I would like to know though. That would be wicked awesome if it did.
I'm thinking it's some app malfunctioning on the phone. I'm sure the OP figured it out or he would have posted back saying it didn't work for him.
