I have had my fair amount of reboots but a tech support guy at Verizon told me to take my SD card out for 24 hours. After 24 hours a put it back in (no reboots) then about a week later my tb started to turn off while charging but it doesn't reboot it stays off

I've heard formatting SD works. Also heard it don't. Doesn't hurt to try. Also heard stepping up to a class 10 card helps. Not in the budget for me.
I'd update everything as well, i know when mine was doing the reboot, it would be stuck in cwb if it was charging.

I could be off on this one, but I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience to mine.
My phone locks up or restarts multiple times a day. I figured it was a hardware issue, and I've already got a replacement on the way. However, I noticed that when I removed my 32GB sdcard and placed it back in my old phone, that the G2X stopped freezing and rebooting. I placed the 32GB card back in, and the rebooting resumed.
I'm curious if there's a chance that the G2X doesn't play nice with certain brands/sizes/speeds of sdcards. Has anyone else noticed this same trend?
I'm using a Sandisk 32GB C2 card. Works great on my MT4G (still), worked great on my Epic 4G & Droid 2. Card tests out fine, so I'm curious if this may be the "source" of the bug some users are experiencing. 32GB cards causing an issue? Slower cards? Anyone have any thoughts on this?
My phone has no SD card, and I have had a few freezes and 1 reboot since I got it on 4/20.
I can't put my phone on charger without having to pull the battery to get it to turn back on.
I noticed almost everytime I accessed my 32gb sdcard that 1/2 the time it locked up.... it seems to scan the card way more than was done with my N1. Anyway...I had antivirus installed. Y the one by avg. So I uninstalled it and since I had lookout on my phone Amway...I enabledits antivirus. And it cut down. severly on freezes.
The other thing I noticed is only do your overnight charging with the LG charger that came with your G2x. Or any long term charging I think.
Also... I know this sucks...but if I turn off my phone and turn it back off every morning I do not get reboots or wake up to a dead phone. I saw this mentioned in another thread somewhere and it seems to work. After I hit about 24-48 hours of uptimei get issues.
Well I hope some of this helps.
I recently moved to WeUI and have found a strange problem.
my phone will charge when powered off but if it is on it usually will not take charge.
it wont use battery when plugged in but it wont charge either.
at first it seemed to be only when lower than 30 percent but today i plugged it in at 61 percent and three hours later it was at 59 percent. i turned it off for twenty minutes and powered it up at 73 percent and it kept charging. very weird. today i tried going all the way to stock and back to WeUI again but same problem going on.
worked fine on stock and a couple other ICS roms ive tried today but as soon as i go back to WeUI... very annoying.
I have two stock batterys and one extended life 3500mah battery and same thing happens regardless of which battery is in the phone.
also when on WeUI my phone gets very hot. its not the icy glitch kernel because ive been using glitch since version 8 (now 14) with several CM9/ICS based roms which have all been fine.
the hottest part of the phone is the SD card. i dont even have any files on it (its all on the 10 or so gb internal memory) it almost burns your finger when phones been on for a while.
sincerely,
frustrated
--as i mentioned above the sd card was getting hot.
well even with phone off i could put the sd card in and within about 3 seconds it would hot enough to cause a 1st degree burn. after removing the sd card while phone was not charging it miraculously started charging. no idea why. at least phone works good now. also bat life is almost double than before. it must be shorting out is all i can figure. i dont have another sd card to try at the moment but will update when i do.
If nothing is on the SD card, just try taking it out. Then see what is going on. It is odd that that is only happening on one ROM though.
Hi guys,
I recently ran into this problem after I woke one morning to my alarm clock blaring for about half an hour, the phone was pretty hot but not unbearably hot. I took out the battery and left the phone to cool down til trying to boot again, when I did the phone booted fine but it soon shut off again 5-10 seconds into loading into android. I assumed the heat knocked the charge out of the battery / something went wrong with the reading of the battery (as it read like 85%) so I just plugged it into the charger and left til it said it was full. It doesn't shut off by itself and works fine while on the charger regardless. But as soon as I unplug the phone dies within a few seconds. So I turned off the phone and let it charge overnight, woke again to the same issue and the battery reading 85% again. Before I booted back up though I tried the "Wipe Battery Stats" thing in CWM hoping that maybe it would fix it after I fully charged but it made no difference. Also I found that the phone is able to run off the charger when I severely underclock it to 250MHz but obviously it's too damn slow for every day use at that speed. As soon as I clocked it up to 480MHz it had the same issue again. I forgot to mention I was rooted with CWM, unlocked bootloader and on stock rom. After this I decided to revert to my pre-root back up rom from CWM and I still had the same issue.
The final thing that seems to make it work is removing the sim, I tried booting this morning without sim and the phone functions flawlessly even while under a heavy stress test without turning off. So I tried inserting another sim, this one not active. Issues start up again...
Any Ideas guys? Seems to me like if the phone is pulling "too much power" the phone auto shuts itself off. But then the SIM thing perplexes me, not really sure how it all affects.
Lastly, do you think I can still claim on my warranty? I've had this phone for just under a month and it's still in perfect condition... I really don't want to switch back to my chopped and screwed Motorola Flipout. But atleast that thing could handle the overheating pretty damn well. Also I didn't get this on contract I bought it outright from a reseller as a prepaid phone.
In the Netherlands, the warranty for a phone battery is set to six months by law, just contact HTC, and find out.

I experienced that 2 days ago, my battery was 2% left and i didnt turn it off. It was dead after 10 mins. I plug in to the pc with cable data. Tried to turn it on right away, ended up stuck in splash screen. I was running viper rom
Long story short, finally managed to flashed the rom again. But all of my data in external sd was gone.
Does anyone know why? And probably is there any solutions to prevent this happen again?
Thanks

External SD card?
Installing the ROM again doesn't lose your data unless you do a full wipe or factory reset.
My wife let it die completely the other day, no data loss once it had enough power to boot. When I was using it, I never saw it get below 5%, at that point I turned it off. Too many times in the past I have seen phones (reported here on XDA) that won't charge because the battery is too dead. So you have to use an external battery charger or another battery to boot it, and hot swap the batteries to get the old one to charge. Can't do that with a One X.

Yes, ext.sd card (technically) the 10GB partition was wiped out automatically when my battery died. I had charged for 1 night with the phone turned off, but still. Then I got to.managed to reformat it and reflash rom.
I wonder what caused it, and could it be prevented in the future?

Hello All!
Three days ago I updated my GS3 to JB 4.1.1. I also ODIN'd TWRP onto my phone as a recovery and loaded SuperSU with an unlocked bootloader onto my phone along with BusyBox. I fell in love with my phone again as JB ran smoothly and I was even able to use Wallet Installer to get Google Wallet onto my phone. However, tonight, my phone seemed to experience a case of Sudden Death Syndrome. A common issue found by googling why my phone's failure to respond to boot commands and power commands.
It will not respond to attempts to boot into ODIN mode, my TWRP recovery and the only sign of life on my phone is a solid red LCD that lights up only if I remove the battery and leave the device plugged into a wall charger. Once I try to reinsert the battery, however, the LCD goes away and the phone once again turns into a coffee coaster. It's taking a lot of strength not to throw it against the wall. (I picked the worst week to quit smoking.)
I don't believe I hardbricked the device because three hours ago at the time of this post, I went to sleep and the phone was working and I was able to send and receive messages. I believe that rooting my phone actually made it even more stable than normal. I just can't believe my phone could just suddenly die. Could it be another case of Sudden Death Syndrome? (Corrupted NAND?) I bought this phone in August and many cases of SDS for the GSIII seem to occur within 150-200 days of activation, which would put me in that window. If I answered my own questions, please feel free to tell me. I'm just trying to explore all options as an exasperated user dealing with what seems frustration after frustration and the one release I have from that stress just **** a brick.
I am covered by Asurion Insurance (and if the crack on my screen will not be enough I plan on running it over with my car for good measure to get my money's worth) but I really do not want to have to file an insurance claim unless it is absolutely necessary.
Phone died just last night 12/29/12. The battery was running down, then beeped once like a warning to charge it. Plugged into the charger and no light whatsoever! The battery icon would come on for a second and then nothing. Left it on the charger over night. Nothing. No red charging light, no boot. Pulled the battery and re-plugged into charger. Same charging icon on screen but nothing else. Tried every combination of removing battery, sim card, memory card, and plugging it in to the charger and still won't boot. Tried a different charger and also my laptop. Nothing. The S3 is a USA Verizon variant. 16gb. Black. I guess it's off to Verizon this morning to get a new phone. Phone is only 45 days old!!!
You could try leaving it on the charger for a couple hours then booting into recovery and reflashing your rom. I've seen a couple instances reported on xda where the battery simply just gave up below 23% and refused to turn back on.
Edit: example, not even a couple weeks old...

If it is a case of "sds" Samsung will replace the board for free.

Only reports of SDS in the 150-200 day time frame that I saw was with the International Version and it is completely different motherboard.
What do you kids do to your phone? How old are you? I'm going to start a survey. Age please?

Update: Brought the S3 into Verizon. They pulled the battery (Like I did a few times!) and somehow got it working again!! FM ! Phone reboots and turns off and then back on. BUT..... if you turn it completely OFF and plug it in to charge then the same as I mentioned happens again. STRANGE. The only way to get it to reboot is to pull the battery and keep it out for about 30 seconds. Put the battery back in and it'll reboot again!!!! Is it me or is this a strange quirk???? The previous times I pulled the battery it was out then back in. This time I took it out, waited 30 seconds and VOILA! It works. Thought you might like an update. Verizon S3 bought on 11/17/12. Rooted and not oc/uc'd. Using Clean Rom 5.5.1
