My LG enV 2 was shutting itsself off at random times and then this time I sent a text message and right as the phone said Message Sent, the phone shut off. Normally it would turn right back on, but this time its not turning on, it just flashes the Verizon Wireless (start up screen) over and over and never comes on. I took the battery out for several minutes and put it back in and it still does the same thing. I plugged the phone in and it did turn on but when I sent another text message the same thing happened and now I cant get it to come back on, it just flashes the same Verizon Wireless screen again.
If possible take it into your cell providers store and ask them to check it. They should be able to do a battery test and a software check for free of charge. If they are no help check the brass contacts on both your battery and phone. They might be making intermittent contact or be corroded. Also check for water damage. There should be a small sticker, if its pink its water damage. It could also be a defective battery, but don't buy one. Try to find someone that has one and borrow it to test. Good Luck
Take the battery out. Take a clean pencil eraser and "clean" the connection between the battery and the phone by erasing them. The connection can sometimes build up grease which makes the connection end sometimes.

I had the same problem. I tried another LG env2 (model# VX9100) battery in my phone (my wife has the maroon phone, I have the black one) and it solved the problem. I had dropped my phone in water. The small sticker on both the phone and battery had turned to pink/red indicating water damage. The phone is fine but the battery must have shorted out. I got a new battery for about $8 + $5 shipping via amazon.com
this is my 3rd enV phone and it keeps having the same problems. i still have a year left but i cant even use my phone so i have to get a new one and they renew my contract and give me the exact same phone or give me the enV 2 with worse problems. im so sick of having to trade in my phone, they should just fix it....i have to go back today and get my 4th exchange on this phone
