i always get soft reboots when im trying out new OC methods and my frequencies are off, thats how i know if the phone cant handle it or not
that is the only time i get soft reboots and im kd1, also kc1 was soft rebooting without trying OC with me so i stay with kd1
soft reboots happen randomly, and i havent payed attention to what i am doing prior to it. havent had one in days usually it only happens like 1 in couple days. anyway thanks for the pointers.

Ive had sleep death since day 2 of ownership....three days ago i flashed existz jvp voodoo gb kernel and have NOT had sleep death. I need people to see if this is a fix or just luck. If your on gingerbread, (NOT miui or cm7) try this kernel and see if it fixes it. I *think* its compatible with all jvo and jvp. Im on jvo and it works

Appreciate the heads up fyi for us all. I'm running DG's latest right now but will keep this in mind.
I dont think it would work on newest cog due to different kernel source. This is I9000 based and cog is captivate based.

Yeah, I just meant I'll keep it in mind for when I flash to a Rom that could use that Kernel. Again, thanks for the fyi.

I personally tried every kernel/rom combo out there and finally just had to replace my phone. I really hope you found a solution for your phone, but when I'd find a good combination for my phone it would usually start shutting down again eventually. Not trying to shoot you down, just letting you know my experience with the issue.
The only thing that actually put a band-aid on my issue was the app "Captivate Keep Alive". I say "band-aid" because although the phone was no longer shutting off on it's own, the battery would drain real fast, so it wasn't really the ideal solution. If you're still under warranty, I recommend just getting it replaced.

The reason you may not be having any sleep death is if the governor is set not to go into Deep Sleep. The Talon kernel supports OC/UV and that may be the culprit. However, my experience with voltage regulation kernels has not been nearly as stable as with ones that don't. I had to just replace my phone when I had the sleep death issues...good luck though.
Is sleep death a reboot. Ive been on oc/uv talon kernal and it gets reboots pretty often it drives me nuts. Always happens when i listen to music too

I'm sure that is going to Deep Sleep, I've Cpu Spy installed in my phone.

Hi my Samsung Infuse sometimes starts vibrating and then it turns off randomly, does someone here is experiencing this problem too?
If it vibrates once, then twice and reboots I think somwthing is force- closing but why it reboots Idk. Mine was doing that at one time (dont remember what rom/kernel I was on @the time) but I flashed 2 stock, then back to bionix & havnt had problem since
Mine does this too. Except when it reboots, my wallpaper changes back to what it recently was before I changed it (even after I deleted the obnoxious picture).
After flashing to Infuse 1.5.2, the wallpaper and shortcut locations were all normal (also lost my texts, not a problem). Later on, it vibrated and rebooted again, and all my old shortcut locations were back, my old wallpaper was back, and all of my texts were back, but I was still on Infused v1.5.2
It's kind of annoying seeing as it happens every other day or so.
might be too much UV
i only had this happen with test kernels on bionix -almost- never with infused

im not doing any UV/OC, this problem also existed when i was in stock firmware, i updated now to infuses 1.5.3, lets see if the problem persist, nobody know a possible fix?
Anyone having issues with their Thunderbolt shutting off and the only way to turn it back on is to do a battery pull? I'm rooted running Ginger3DTh3ory 6.2, but it did this also when I was running Bamf 3.0. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
No idea, are you oc'd?
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
Let me describe what mine has done a few times and you tell me if that's what you're talking about. Twice, in the last 2 days, it's just locked up with the screen off. It doesn't respond to power or volume buttons. Only way to get it to work again it to pull that battery.
BUT... the weirdest thing happened the last time. It did it while I was in a call. I could answer with my bluetooth, talk, and hang up with my bluetooth, but the phone wouldn't respond to anything I did to it.
Is this what you're talking about?
Sound like SOD = Sleep of Death. It doesn't happen to much but a pain in the rear...switch Ur govenor from interativex to ondamandx see if that fixes it

I've had this problem quite a bit lately with the same roms. I switched to Gingeritis3D beta 6 and the problem seems to have gone away. Gingeritis and some other roms are starting to claim they are using an official build of GB and not the alpha leak version. That could be the issue.

the official build's kernel is a piece of crap that is leading to a whole new batch of reboots.
OP, that is usually an issue where your phone is not getting enough voltage. I would do what the other poster suggested and switch your governor. It will give the phone a little more juice so it doesn't do that.
All phones are different when it comes to that stuff.
Thanks forvthe responses. I'm not OC'd and I'm not sure where in this rom I can change my governor. Its only happened once with those rom so far, hoping its just a fluke.
Mines running fine. Maybe try reflashing?

you have to open terminal emulator (I think its preinstalled on gingertheory, if not there is a free one in the market).
type su (hit enter), it might drop your keyboard, pressing menu will let you reopen it.
type speedtweak.sh
This will open script fusion, there you can change the governor to ondemandx.
I searched the forums and couldn't find anything regarding this issue with sgs4g...
I have have tried several ROMs (stock GB, ICBINB kj1, Valhalla, Octane), and all seem to be laggy in terms of the screen actually turning on when the power button is pressed. I don't know if this is an issue with customs ROMs or if it's the phone itself (though I don't think it was as bad with stock KD1). It only takes about a second or two for the lock screen to appear, but most other phones i've seen are pretty much instant. Any thoughts on speeding up the responsiveness of lock screen appearing? I wasn't sure if v6supercharger works for GB roms so I haven't tried that. It's just annoying having to wait to check the time. Thanks for any help! And I am VERY new at all this so please be detailed if you have a solution
Currently I am running
Valhalla 1.3.2 (GB KI3)
Drhonks KI3 kernel
Adrenaline shot vXIX
Are you using set CPU or some other program that can set custom battery levels? If you have your phone set to throttle down to less than 400mhz when the screen is off then it will lag when you wake it up.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Nope. No special settings to adjust CPU Does anyone have a sgs4g that wake up quickly? If so what ROM or settings?
Interesting, I have the same issue. Figured it was just me. Seems sometimes I have to hiy the button a few times before it will come on.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I think that happens to everyone.
Samsung just makes their buttons differently, you actually need to hold them down rather than bump them unlike most phones.
GB is still not official, but I think that it may be because of the CRT on animation.
Yea, it very well could be the CRT animations. Though even when I first got the phone it wasn't super fast in waking up. Oh well, guess its just a Samsung thing, thanks for all the tips and thoughts! On the bright side, I ran v6supercharger on my phone in an attempt to fix it... It didn't fix this issue but the phone is almost twice as fast lol. If anyone still has a fix for the screen-on lag lemme know, otherwise thanks everyone!
I just assumed I had been to punishing on the power button when I thought I had bricked my phone that now it responds slower lol. But I have noticed the same issue that some times I must press it twice to get it to wake. Glad to know it maybe an engineering issue with the actual button rather than a side effect of wear and tear. Would like this phone to last another year at least.
I am on black ice stable, and this doesn't seem to happen to me. I remember it happening to me a lot on gingerbread roms though. I suggest to get rid of any task killers, the apps have to stay in memory if you want them to load up quick.
I'm running Valhalla 1.3.2 and my phone wakes up instantly. The only time I have ever had any lag was when using setcpu to force the clock speed down when the screen was off. It was annoying as hell, so I dumped it.
To define what I consider no lag.
Hit power, screen comes on immediately, swipe miui lockscreen, there is the desktop.
My phone does it faster than I can read the sentence.
Valhalla 1.3.2
Honks KJ1 Stock Kernel w/CWM / EXT4
KJ3 Modem

V6 Supercharger
Go Launcher EX
UV @ Dsexton's Values

Note: I only recently add the V6 Supercharger and it made no difference to wake up time for me.

Thanks for letting me know that it is possible. I run the exact setting as you, except kernel KI3. I'll try flashing KJ1 and see if it helps. Otherwise I'm stumped. Thanks!
I was on CM7 then went to AOKP, didnt like it and went back to CM7, now my phone is super laggy.
I have found out it is running at 200mhz almost constantly unless i set my minimum to 800 or 1200, but then my battery would die in minutes.
Nothing seems to fix this. it is SOOO bad that the skateboard cm7 droid dude, lags. the first samsung logo takes like 30 seconds or more, then when it jumps to the skateboard guy it lags and the circle arrow skips frames horribly. not like usual.
The only thing i can think of is when i was on AOKP (ICS) i "v6 super charged it" when i went back could there be remnance of issues?
please help i am pulling my hair out in stress and annoyance.
I have reflashed 5 times, reset with heimdall to stock, then back to CWM recovery RED, (entropy) and back to CM7... no fix. im wondering if a certain file is causing the cpu to underclock.
what file do i delete and reset.
please help
Go back to stock...and then once on stock go to settings>privacy>reset to factory defaults>format USB drive....let it do its thing and you should be good...make sure you back up important data first...this will wipe everything!!!!

Yes...remember you dealing with files...folders...that sometimes leave a trail of stuff....so a good wipe and kill all, reload clears...so being lazy will have it's effect....
My thing if ya gonna do it..do it right, work now, rest/enjoy it later......
all i should have to back up is my titanium, and my pictures i believe.
im not against doing it right, problem is i have reflashed probably 50 times, and this is the first time ive had an issue. its weird.
so when i reset to stock, it boots normal speed. im not so sure its the folders. this is so weird. but im trying this step anyhow

usb wiped from stock. no change. am i missing a certain kernel?
fixing permissions helps some what for one boot then back to where it was.
tried going back a month to may 1st of CM7 release. no go.
my wifes infuse is just like mine and works fine. difference is i was on ICS im gonna flash that and see how ICS works.
ive been working on this for around 14 hours, this is insane.
everything i do is no good.
i honestly think supercharger messed it up, but i dont know how. either that or my CPU is some how fried, but it works fine from time to time, and when i set it to 1200 mhz minimum speed
its as if my governor's are jacked up, but it is slow in boot up and recovery as well. which is what really confuses me
just installed ics AOKP Brocolli, and its as smooth as ics has been, i dont like the random crashes and problems i get from ICS so i want to go to CM7
plus this AOKP Broccoli theme is god awful to me.
i think im just to old to look at circuit board designs all day.
