Fuze keeps trying to turn off.... - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Hey guys,
This is my first post but i have been doing a ton of reading since i got my fuze and have flashed many different OS's and have had a great time doing it. I have stumbled upon a little blip though. I flashed to NATF's v3.1 and ran removehiddenproxy.cab i was prompted to soft reset so i did. Now i keep getting a popup saying my device is going to power off every minute or so!!! this is still happening even after i flashed to a few other roms to see if it would get rid of it! i've dug through some info but so far havent come up with anything. Any ideas on where to go now? the exact prompt is "Power will be turned off, and you may loose data if you have not saved them. Do you want to continue?"
-Mike

It's not a rom problem that I can tell.
My stock rom does the same thing from time to time.
I installed Energy rom to see if that would help but it still did it.
I put the newest rom from htc back in in case I have to take it in for repair, and it's still doing it.
I have no clue why it does it. The first time it did it, draining the battery seamed to have stopped it. The next time it stopped after 6-8 hrs on its own. This time who knows..

Something like this appears to be happening to me as well, though I just can't use my power button at all for 8ish hours. I am using energy rom.

Phone wont stay shut off?

Hello again everyone, im here with another new problem. Out of the blue.
This is what happens.
-Phone is on
Hold down power
Shut off
-Phone shuts off screen goes blank
5 seconds pass
-Phone boots up... never touch a thing....
WTF?
It will not stay off, no matter the rom, I pulled the batter,SD,SIM nothing will shut it off unless i pull the battery.
I've downgraded the phone with the ace hack kit, ive re-rooted. nothing. I've searched, nothing. Anyone out there got a clue? Cus I dont.
FYI:when the phone rebooted after it flashed the downgrade during re-rooting, the alarm was going off and had the snooze button and everything, no matter what it wouldnt go off. but I just went on with the root process and now its gone, but the phone still wont stay off, something just screwed up!
That's hilarious, and I don't mean that literally. I am laughing though, kind of. Why? Because the same thing just happened to me last night. I know I said the exact same thing you said, possibly more. I have been on the same rom for a week and the only thing I have done was update a couple of apps from the market last night. Nothing else was done. Suddenly I can not power off the phone, it simply shuts off for five seconds and then reboots. I have wiped, restored, and tried flashing and the issue still persists. I am heavily researching and experimenting on what could be the cause for this issue. If I figure it out I will be sure to let you know.

Lol that is funny, what apps did you update?
I also have a problem with charging the phone and not sleeping, i was starting to think that it was just finaly getting worst
The only apps that were updated were Battery Monitor widget, Elixir, Xfinity TV, and one more which I can't remember right now. If you do get your phone to shut off, which I have been able to do twice, it may not wish to power back up, which is what mine does now also. (Laughing hysterically now.) Just pull the battery out and put it back in and it will power up. My feelings are that this may have been caused by some kind of update. Possibly from the market or from ATT. I have tried three different roms and it is still doing the same thing. I am about to wipe and restore the phone back to stock and see if it does it still. I will keep you appraised.

I dunno, I already did that and it did nothing, but I guess its worth a shot for you...
And I dont have any of those apps
If I find something I'll post here
/me shrugs
I am very confused by this, but I will have to try a restore to stock to see what happens. I do find it strange that two different people had this happen to their phones at about the same time and day. I will let you know how things progress later.
Edit: What version of Clock Work Mod recovery do you have installed and which rom were you running? Trying to go through the variables with this issue.

Yeah it is odd, could be coincidence, could be related, dunno, I dont see how it could be an ATT update when nearly all the roms here have that function disabled. Then again maybe you know something I don't
What did you do to get it to turn off finally? I dunno if I wanna try now that you said it wouldn't turn back on.
Also, what rom where you on when it started, I was on CM nightly #121 or maybe #120 I forget
I just happened to come across this in the general section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145495
no fix though
I am restoring an old rom and I will try changing the date as someone suggested to see what that does. If it does not work then I will have to wait until later tonight to return the phone to stock and go step by step from there.

Could this have something to do with partitioning the SD card? I think i remember reading that clockwork bricked some phones, is that true?
I believe CWM did have some problems partitioning before. Not sure if it still does. It seems like I have found a fix for myself. I turned off automatic system time and date and reset the date to January 2012. The phone seems to be working like it did before this occured. I will wait until tomorrow and change the date back to automatic and see if the power issue shows back up, but for now it seems ok.
Edit: I changed the time and date back to automatic and it is working like it should again. Did you get yours working again or is it still having problems?

im still having this phone wont shut off issue as well. i have set it to the same date as u and turned off auto and it still just reboots when trying to turn it off
Try leaving automatic off for a whole day. Then see if it is still having this problem. Also replied to pm but try this first to see if it gets past it and works..

I had that problem, but it was the car app. I had to disable it in the settings.
seems this keeps happening more and more to people. i still have yet to solve my issue
well i retried setting the date on the phone but this time i chose 1/1/2011 and now the phone stays off when i turn it off which is nice but now i have to deal with having the wrong date

Phone shuts off all the time

Hey everyone, thanks for looking at this and hopefully helping me out. I'm new to rooting my phone and installing new roms and stuff, but I researched about as much as I could for about a week before I even rooted.
Now I've moved on and installed a new rom (CM7). Before installing I used clockwork and formated the /system, /data, /cache, and dalvik. At first everything was ok, but after about 15 minutes it turned off. I read up on battery problems, so kept my phone plugged in all weekend (got up to 4.196V-ish, with 0mA in or out) then deleted the battery file, rebooted, unplugged the phone and let it drain completely (even while it still had a charge it would turn off randomly but I figured it would be ok). After it was completely drained I completely charged it again and it still randomly turns off.
At first I thought maybe it was just the rom, but no one else seems to have the same problem as me (that I can find), so I downloaded an ICS rom to try that. Same problems. So far I have done the following to try and find out WTF is going on...
Installed Elixr to see battery drainage (sitting at main screen doing nothing its roughly -8mA, but right after boot or opening a program it jumps to -300mA to -480mA)
Done NUMEROUS battery pulls (with and without deleting the battery config file)
Switched ROMS
Any help would be amazing
PS: Before rooting or flashing a new mod my phone would shut off on its own, but only once a week, maybe. Now it turns off as soon as I unlock my sim card. However, it doesn't turn off at all if I have it plugged in.

Well, if you were having this issue before the rooting took place, this very well may be hardware related. There are a few things I recommend before the dreaded unroot and send back to manufacturer route (assuming the phone is under warranty still). It's been proven or at least shown that battery calibration (the whole charge to 0Ma and then fully discharge and then recharge) is a pipe dream.
I would first say find out if the CM7 ROM you're using is OCing or UVing, while you may see some people OCing to 1.3 or higher and UVing -75, not all phones are created equal in capabilities and some phones will randomly freeze/turn off if they don't like your OC and UV settings. I would also suggest flashing a different ROM to see if this problem persists. Cleardroid is what I recommend just to get an idea if it is in fact a OC or UV problem as I believe cleardroid is set up to default stock settings.
You can also try a new battery, I have heard/read/seen that bad batteries can cause reboots. Again though if this was an issue you were sometimes experiencing before, you may have hit the tip of the iceberg on a hardware issue and its finally starting to show now. Hope this helps.

I guess the issue is with the battery itself. Try getting a new battery. I heard some guys experiencing the same and sorting things out replacing the battery....
Leave the charger plugged in. If it doesn't reboot then that will let you know most likely it is the battery.

That was my thoughts exactly. However, if the ROM or kernel or whatever is set to shut off the phone at a certain reading of discharge from the battery, ie -500mA, this could also be the problem.
I thought it could have been a problem with the phone as well, but before it would shut off on its own MAYBE once a month. 90% of those I attributed to overloading the phone, closing facebook, opening the internet, starting to load a webpage then open a new txt I just recieved while the phone was still vibrating type things.
Now it still feels like it's just quitting on me, it never turns off while the screen is locked or while its charging. So far after the new ROM it has shut off when I place a call, when I receive a call, clicking on a notification, opening the messaging app, clicking download in the market, and my favorite when I unlock it from sleep.
I will download a different rom right now and try it. Just to double check this is what I've been doing to install a new rom... I boot my phone into recovery (vol- and power), go to recovery from the boot screen (opens clockworkmod), scroll down to mounts and storage, have it format /system, /data and /cache, go back to wipe data/factory reset, then install zip from sdcard, select the rom and go... I know some roms require inspiremod, should I still install this if I'm USING an inspire??
Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it
If it does turn out to be the battery or you just decide to get a new one to test it out. I recommend these, they are awesome and the only thing anyone should try besides HTC factory replacements. Good luck and I hope this works out for you.
Anker Batteries
i only skimmed this. but cleaning battery contacts can help also check the side door, sometimes that can cause issues as well. air can out everything and clean metal contacts with rubbing (ipa) alcohol.
So I installed cleardroid. Once again everything worked fine for the first 10-15 minutes and then the shutdowns started again, always when making the phone do something (unlocking, clicking a notification, opening a program, etc) but never when the phone is charging.
I'll clean off every bronze or gold contact I can find but I think I might be fighting a lost cause lol. Three different ROMS, all with the same problem leads me to believe its a hardware issue. Since all the chips in these phones are all small and use multilayer boards I won't be able to replace anything myself so I see a new phone in my near future.
Thanks guys!
If it doesn't do it when its chargeing then it is the battery. I had bought my inspire from someone and it was having those issues ordered a new HTC stock battery from newegg for like $12 and has been working perfectly since then and honestly if you want the best battery rom absolution is the rom you should check out. It's a non sense rom but again I'd just buy a new battery. I had mine timed it'd reset at 92% 74% and 49% xD

hmm, I would say try a new battery before getting a new phone. Worst case scenario is that you spent $15 to learn you need a new phone as opposed to spending $100+ on a new phone...this is of course assuming you want to keep the inspire and not just looking for a reason to get upgrade ahaha
I agree. It still sounds like a battery issue.
I would agree this definitely sounds like an internal short in the battery. Sounds like it's shutting off whenever it gets a significant load on it. Try a new battery first.
I had a similar issue though I was tweaking the CPU. Learned my lesson.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Yeah, Id bet money that its a bad battery. I had this same exact issue with my Inspire. If it shuts off more in low reception areas but it isn't shutting off when plugged in, its definitely the battery. I would try to find someone with an Inspire and try switching them batteries and see if it stops.
If I tried to use the flash with my camera, the phone would shut off. My phone would randomly reboot or turn off. ATT told me they had "some" bad batches of batteries. My phone was still under warranty so ATT sent me a new battery. All the problems went away!
The battery door on the Inspire becomes wonky the more you open it, I was having a problem like yours, new battery and new door has me going good.

Random reboots all of the sudden!

I have had this phone for a couple months rooted it as soon as I got it. I have been running CM7 on it and it has been going good but about 2 days ago out of the blue it just started randomly rebooting and shutting itself down. Is this a known issue with this phone or is it possible the rom I am running is the culprit? If so what is the most stable rom out for this phone right now?
i just bought the phone and it did that 3x a day until i removed the battery and then put it back in. i then fully charged it, with it powered off, and it doesn't do it anymore...

Track back what apps you've been installing/using over the past few days. 99% chance it is the app that just does not sit well with your phone. I have CM7 on mine and it is rock solid and have always been.
Mine started doing the same thing around the same time. Weird. Ever find a fix?
I've seen the problem on my phone... originally I though I had a corrupt SD card, but that's not it. The one posting I saw somewhere that resulted in a response that said "that works" was the one where someone disabled the advanced wifi sleep policy. If you go to Wifi settings to where you view the available networks, and then click on the menu button there is an Advanced option. Under the advanced option you can set the Wi-Fi Sleep Policy to sleep "Never" according to the post I read.
I have no idea whether this works-- I recently did a factory reset for something else, and this always works temporarily to stop the reboots. Can't hurt to try.

[Q] LEAD Rom constant reboots while charging

Hello all, I have an HTC Arrive running LEAD's 7.8 8858 ROM. I've been running this rom since January with very little issues. However, within the last couple of weeks I have been noticing strange things going on with my phone. Some mornings I have woken up and left for work and notice my phone is almost dead, even though I remember plugging it in the night before. Also, as of this week, after a reboot of my phone, the Call button shows Home Service instead of Sprint, but eventually changes over to Sprint. At times I will go to use my phone and see it has put itself in Airplane mode or has a locked sim card logo displayed instead of signal bars. In this case I have to reconnect to the network to regain functionality.
Now as of last night my phone is constantly rebooting while charging. I plugged it in last night and kept hearing a buzz (I keep it on vibrate), looked at the phone and it would be booting up. It fully boots to the Start screen and I can go ahead and begin doing something, but no matter what I'm doing it just shuts completely off without even saying Goodbye (literally). It continues to do this until I unplug it, and it ONLY reboots when plugged in. I've tried a battery pull a couple of times but to no avail. Its getting very annoying because it takes much longer to actually charge, and I also don't imagine this is very good for the phone itself.
I was planning on flashing LEAD's latest release to see if it fixes it, but I'm not sure if the phone will react this way plugged into the PC as well. I haven't plugged in to the computer yet to find out, hopefully it won't do this, else I won't be able to flash it.
Any ideas or suggestions? Has anyone else had this issue?
well i plugged into the pc and it still reboots however, when in the tricolor bootloader it does not reboot! so with this discovery i now know that its a bug in the OS causing the reboots. also, because its not rebooting in the bootloader, i should be able to reflash without issues, correct?
as a side note, the phone got VERY hot last night while left in to charge, so i will just charge my wifes phone and swap the batteries so that i wont damage my phone.
no one else has reported this issue with this ROM as far as i can see, only random reboots.
Sorry to hear about all those problems. Have you tried the latest ROM after the 8858 release? I suspect there could be some sort of corruption in the OS. If you haven't, I recommend biting the bullet and just restoring the phone. I also recommend flashing the latest ROM, since it has the latest OS version. If the phone isn't having problem when in boot-loader mode (tri-color screen), you should be OK to flash it.

thanks for the reply lead! i am going to flash you latest release now. i am going to look for an alternative way to backup pictures outside of Zune and the PC, but i dont think any exist.
i will post back when its up and running.
i flashed the 8862 ROM and its been plugged in for about an hour with no reboots
plus, this ROM feels snappier than the 8858. an issue i used to have with IE, that is gone in this build is it would open Google every time i click the IE tile.
thanks for the help leadpoizon

No problem. Glad your issue is fixed now.
Ok so I am no longer having the charging or battery issues anymore, but now my Marketplace is basically broken. When I can manage to begin a download it immediately goes to Attention Required, and upon clicking i get error code 8000ffff. So no apps will install/download from Marketplace. Also, on almost every game and app, it says this app is not available for your device, even ones i used to use on 8858. Some i have even manually installed and they work fine. Also when trying to even view many of the games in the Marketplace, I get error 805a0194. So far I haven't managed to install anything from the Marketplace aside from the Bank of America app.
I have tried resyncing with Live, rebooting the phone, tried changing Marketplaces and settings with the Marketplace Config app. Nothing fixes it
Any suggestions?
No one?
I'm beginning to think 8862 is to blame. I keep getting service unavailable errors from MP, or everything is not available for my device. I don't want to hard reset, but it looks like this isn't going away on its own. :/

Sorry, I've moved on from this device, so I can't test anything now. I never had any issues like this on my device and I used it extensively for a long time after flashing that ROM.

Battery Problem? PLEASE HELP!

Before I start I will say I am rooted and have tried multiple different ROMs to make sure that's no the problem. Starting last Saturday, my phone would randomly turn off. I never saw it turning off until today though. I just thought that somehow it had turned itself off in my pocket. However, today I caught it turning off. Right before it shut down, a logo of a gray battery with a USB cable going into it with an exclamation point in a triangle off to the side appeared. Then, when I tried to turn it on, the same symbol showed up and I couldn't even get to the LG logo. An hour later when I tried again, it booted up, no problem. At the time, I was running illusion rom with Rin kernel. After several other times of the phone turning off with the logo and not being able to turn it back on for a half of an hour, I decided to go back to my old backup of illusion to see if that was the problem. The random turn offs persisted. Worried, I flashed the latest cm12 nightly. Things were going great until just 20 minutes ago where the phone turned off accompanied by the symbol. Whaf does it mean? What should I do? Hopefully my phone's not broken cuz I don't think at&t of lg will accept a phone that's rooted and has seen multiple Roms.
update
Today the problem has persisted and the shut downs have occurred at exactly the same times as they did yesterday. I think I might have to use the "return to stock" stuff and send it to LG. I'm pretty sure this is an internal hardware issue since I have tried multiple different Roms without installing any apps and the problem persists. I am going to call LG now and see if they'll replace it. I've also tried a spare battery so that certainly isn't the problem. I'm confused. If anyone knows what to do, please share.
I would flash tool back to stock and start over. That really does fix a lot of weird problems. It has for me anyway.
Just tried reflashing stock. No success.... sending it in to LG next Tuesday since Monday is a Holiday and its still semi-functional so i'll use it during the weekend. Hopefully they wont charge me for it.
