Help - Facebook killed my Droid!

[SSHGuru]

I used Facebook for the first time in months and when I tried to exit the screen went black.

I can't get the Droid to boot now... the eye just stays and the screen goes off.

I've done a soft reboot, and a battery pull twice... can't get it even to the home screen...

That sucks! I know facebook has killed a few marriages as well.

Are you sure it was the app that did it? Try hitting the power button while the battery is out?

Well I let it sit for 5 minutes while the Eye kept going and now it's working.

U got me... I'm relieved it works.

Have you tried booting into recover mode yet?

• Boot in to recovery mode.. hold down Power and X while your phone boots

You can also try a factory reset:

Thanks for info for future purposes. I didnt know about power and X... doing factory reset is a last resort.. meh.

I guess the lesson is no Facebook for me... I'll use the browser instead of the crappy application.
