My TF started an odd behavior in the last couple of days. For some reason it reboots after it's been asleep for an extended period (maybe an hour or so). Info:
I initially had the sleep screen of death, where it wouldn't wake up from sleep without a hard shutdown and reboot. To fix that, I disabled the lock screen and disabled the screen shut off while idle. I also have the wifi set to off while sleeping. Now, while sleeping after about 30 mins or an hour, it will just reboot. I just happened to look over and catch it rebooting this morning. I did a search about it, no one seems to have reported something like this.
Hopefully 3.1 will fix it.
Having this same issue myself. Never did it before and the only new app I have installed was thumbtype.
im having the same problem, running 3.1. My tab will just randomly reboot when sitting there sleeping, and it just happened twice in a row, within 5 minutes of each other. I haven't had any other problems, nor has it rebooted when not sleeping.
Not sure if I should take it back or not, I'm still within my exchange period.
Oh, and I've also installed thumbtype.. though I have a bunch of other programs installed.
Mine started doing this today too. Running 3.1 with dock. Don't believe I installed any new apps today either.
Honestly I did not notice mine doing this at all until I had installed 3.1, granted I only had it for about 4 days prior to 3.1 coming out..
Hrm!
Mine just did it tonight for the first time ever, undocked, running leaked 3.1. Scared the crap out of me too, as I was sitting in a dark room and it just sprang to life, lol.
Add me to the list. Started happening right after 3.1 Primordial. However...I had installed Multiple Live Wallpaper immediately following the update, which was not appearing in my app drawer, but I could open it from the Market. I removed that, and can't say that I have seen the issue since.
so i'm guessing it has to do with 3.1?

I would think so cuz it has already done that twice since installing the leaked HC 3.1
Had mine for a week. I love it but: it updated to 3.1 pretty well straight away and now some days it will go into a sleep reboot loop. The evidence is clear in the ramdump.log files which are, I guess, generated each time this happens. it will reboot every 3 or 4 minutes.
I did a factory reset. It still happens so I don't think it is related to any particular app. I need to know if there is a solution. Is this 3.1 related and likely to be fixed in 3.2? Do I have a faulty unit?

I picked up a Captivate and used SuperRooter, got Clockwork on there, and put on some apps. What's odd is that if the phone sits for a while and I try to wake it up, the screen doesn't turn on - even after waiting like 3 minutes. Besides flashing back to stock, is there anything I can do to see what might be causing this? Would a logcat via ADB help? When I set it down and use it every few mins, it's fine. It's just doing the weird not waking up thing when it sits for a while.
I've had mine since aug. 2nd....this just started happening to mine over the past few days, where it'll shut off while sleeping. Its only done it 2 or 3 times tho. Mine isn't rooted.
Seems this is happening to a bunch of people, some have had to remove the battery to get it back on....i haven't had to do this yet. (knock on wood)
Is there a way to disable a long press of the Power button while the phone is locked? I'm wondering if that is part of the problem.
Are you using SetCPU? The ondemand CPU governor is known to cause this problem.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Setcpu was causing my vibrant to do the same thing, deleted it and everything is fine
If SetCPU is an app, i haven't installed that one....
Removed it and it is still doing it. If the phone is plugged into anything (weither stay awake is on or not) it seems fine but when it is unplugged, it shuts off every few mins. My girl has this phone for the week and I won't see her til the weekend but I was reading on Android Forums and it seems alot of people are having this issue. I will flash back to stock and see if it helps, but I have a feeling it won't help.
i think its the root i mean i it did taht after i rooted i just got my replacement seeing if itll act up if not ill keep it if it does im jumping ship to buy a international galaxy s
Does your phone smoke a lot of pot?
I'm actually wondering if it doesn't have something to do with power handling with a full battery. I had to swap mine out because any time it was charged 100%, if it slept it turned off. After a few restarts or me playing with it enough to drop it below a completely full charge it was fine. I don't know, but if this new one does it I will just return it and look for something else :_(
well ricparr and anyone else i would just return your model saying its defective and get a replacement tahts what i did
Post your uptime here. Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Up Time
e.g. 16:48:10
22:31:15 since I rebooted it for clockwork.

I reboot manually daily.
Longest uptime I've had is 30hours. I then rebooted it myself because I had uninstalled a bunch of T-Mo apps. Since then it's been up now 17hrs without a hitch.
I reboot mine once a day manually.
I did have 1 random reboot the other day when answering a call though.
I show 51.36.15 right now. I manually rebooted once since I got the phone looking for where to put in my SD card. Otherwise, all good so far.
As of this post i'm at 68:01 but I did reboot because my battery was draining kinda fast and I just wanted to reboot the device to see if it would affect it in any way.
My friend is on his 2nd G2x (because of the reboot) and his new one rebooted when we were at the movies (the same day i rebooted mine)
knock on wood that my unit is fine.
I haven't had a single reboot til today. none all week.
Now I've had 4 in a row. All while trying to update apps in the market. I had about 15 to update.. It has rebooted 4 times on me.. LAME!
I have no reboot's and current up time 93:05:45.
have wifi working. and battery last most of the day with 2-3 hours music while at work phone calls web surfing, just exporing the phone most of the time. bluetooth currenlty on all day conected to my headset.
have you updated any large apps in the market.
I've now had 5 reboots all in under about 15 minutes on my G2x.. it is stock, rooted. All while in the market, all while trying to update a few larger apps. Hm, something is wrong that is for sure.
time for paul's patch?
Im at 21:28. Never had a reboot. Last reboot for a flash (deoxt? fix).

A few questions:
1) Are you rooted?
2) Did you use the patch?
3) Have you done a factory reset?
4) Have you altered the *#*#4636#*#* and/or network settings?
Thanks!
Only had my replacement phone since monday. No reboots yet. Never had one on the one before either.

I had no reboots on my first phone either..
you guys without issues, have you updated multiple apps from market?
No reboots here.
Rooted with ClockWorkMod. Last boot for deoxt patch.
26:37:45
48:50:29 for me never had a reboot. I was having the phone shut off while charging overnight, but took off my speck candyshell and it seems to be fixed. I assume the problem was shutdown to prevent overheating. I am not rooted yet and i did a factory reset when i first got the phone because the tmobile rep skipped the settup. I hope this helps

I've not had any issues and have updated multiple apps from the market.
I haven't had one reboot and I got my phone on the 18th rooted on the 20th and still no reboots or LCD bleeds

No root, no factory resets, no messing with anything. Out of the box stock.
I love this phone!

So over the last few days my phone seems to have settled into some sort of weird pattern with reboots. Although there are outliers, in general it always seems to reboot between 19-24h of uptime and nearly always at like 45 or 50 mins past the hour. It's the most bizarre thing in the world and why I think there's some funky software doing it. I don't have true random reboots, but I can't figure out what it is that is doing this. Very odd.
In all cases my phone is sitting with the screen off (I've NEVER had a reboot while using the phone/screen on) but it doesn't matter what radios are on, WiFi, BT, GPS (can be off or on).
Last time I ran "CatLog" a logging app from Market and had it write to SD logs and a reboot happened but it only by default writes every 200 lines so the last line in the file was probably not the last line in the log. I'm going to try again later and set it to write every line or few lines so I can see the last entry in the log before a reboot. Might shine some light on it.
Just find it very strange since it's a very stable and capable phone for about 18hrs and then it just craps on itself. Very strange.
finally. I too just think it is some weird software or driver bug because I was running EB 1.0.4 FINE for like 3-4 days and loving it... then it started resetting almost hourly. I didn't install any other apps past my initial normal set of apps.
Even CM7, seems like it is fine for a few days, then gets crazy. As long as I put a new nightly rom on it every day, it's good.
I didn't have any issues with stock though and didn't seem to have issues with CM7 for a while until lately.
The leaked GB rom causes lockups immediately out of the gate seemed hourly.
I use CM7 as my main daily driver now but I think you are on to something. We are talking about the Screen of Death right? I don't think mine ever reboots, but gets stuck at the lockscreen where the the display comes up, swiping to unlock vibrates then the phone but doesn't change screens to desktop. The buttons and click/drag widgets work even though you are looking the lockscreen.
I've never had my phone powered off in my pocket or noticed it "rebooting". Mine just has the SoD that seems to follow your pattern idea. They may be related. Stock roms may reset once it locks up, where CM7 just keeps running in its locked state.
I have a really strong sneaking suspicion that every G2X reboots but not everyone notices. Also if you naturually turn your phone off once a day or so you won't notice it perhaps or even a few days. The phone reboots pretty fast and the only way I've been noticing (except the times I see/hear it happen) is I have an uptime widget on my homescreen so it's obvious.
Same thing happened with my Droid Incredible btw...when it first came out there were all kind of random reboot issues. After a software update I would run that phone hard for 30-45 DAYS straight without a reboot.
It's annoying but I think it's just a matter of time before the G2X is the same.
I just hope that update gets here sooner than later.

I dunno. The tmobile jingle is pretty loud and I never hear it. CM7 has a silent one so possibly there but I dunno.
I use my phone pretty often and never had the suspicious that it reboots. My phone stays very cool during my usage compared to my nexus and other phones
My uptime was 4 hours since I reset it last. I'll monitor it with results. It'll be hard not to flash but I'll keep track and see how far I can keep it online.
i have not had any reboots or waking up to a dead phone ....with the only fix is a battery pull.... ever since I started.
1) my over night charging / long term charging to 100%... only on the LG charger that it came with. Only short term...maybe. less than an hour and not to a 100% charge on a non LG charger (car charger etc...)
2) I restart my G2x every morning when I take it off the LG charger..(after I take it off..I did it once while on the charger and had an issue... (there is definitely an issue related to when it charges to/ around 100% charge)
Just my 2 cents.
Pattern to my reboots - do yours have a pattern?
Hold Power and volume up simultaneously for about 10 seconds.
I've had my phone since Friday, but the only time I had the rebooting problem was this past Saturday when it rebooted four times within 15 minutes or so. Before the rebooting began, the phone had slowed down to a crawl, so I went ahead and rebooted it. After that, I sat it down and watched it reboot a few times on its own. Luckily my iPhone 4 owning co-worker was completely unaware of this issue since we tease and bicker with each other every day over Android and iOS .

I can guarantee that mine don't reboot. I've had it up fire days, checked the up time and play with it constantly.if it rebooted in the middle of the night I would hear it or the uptime would be close to zero in the morning..
I have a way stable phone.running stock, rooted with bloat removed.. I love this damn stable phone.

Everything other than smart share, tegra zone and qik. Of course have nova and need for speed also.
Oh also have car home froze..
Maybe jumping the gun here but I tried to let mine go as long as it could without resetting it. I kept tabs on it and it was running awesome the entire time (#33 CM7).
Last time I noticed my phone on was like 17:33:xx hours. I had like 44% battery left. Next thing I know the phone is off. I tried turning it on and a battery icon flashed and turned back off.
What I am thinking is that perhaps the faulty battery driver is telling the phone that the battery is dead and preventing it from booting up. We were talking in another thread and I said something that really makes sense: If the battery driver tells the OS that there is 0% battery then it will just reboot. The battery itself may have a 50% charge left. That would explain the random reboots too (the battery driver telling the phone there is 1% left and cutting power). Maybe a hard reset semi-corrects the problem but eventually resets again due to false information.
My weirdness/powered off occurred right around 18hours. The phone could have just died too.
Almost need a Voltmeter so someone can test the battery (or however it can be tested).

Yes I know the battery driver is part of the problem as can be seen on CM7 builds but what's odd is my time varies so for a long time it would reboot every 17-20 hours, now all of a sudden it goes to 36 hours before it usually reboots. Looking at logs it doesn't appear to throw any major errors before a reboot which implies that it's a a kernel panic or low-level fault. At this point I've given up on trying to find the issue since it's been repeated over and over that T-Mo and LG are releasing an update. Might as well enjoy the phone and wait for that to come out
Amen. Just keep flashing CM nightlies and you'll never worry about it.
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.

So, I have had my shield tablet for about a month now and people have said the tablet has random power off issues. I never noticed this, but around 3 days ago my device started acting slightly wierd with it being slightly slower than usual. Then, when I checked my device about 3-4 hours later. It was off, I powered it on and then it instantly shut off. I turn it on again hoping to see its chrage level and I did and it was at 68%. So I reset it using my cwm recovery and for about 15 minutes it was fine, then it shuts down again and does the same thing. So today I reset it using the imgs from nvidia and it works fine. So I go and update to 4.4.1, still work. Update to 5 and it just breaks again.
Same issue
Have you found a fix? I'm having the same problem.
No, and to top it off it started doing this with 4.4, it just takes significantly longer
Custom roms work for me. Not sure how long they will last.
