HELP: Phone locks up and dies at random

I've been having a weird issue for the past few weeks where my phone will lock up and the screen won't turn on anymore. Often, it happens with the phone in standby in my pocket. I'll feel a vibration (sometimes just 1 vibration, sometimes followed by the usual 3 fast vibrations of a force close) and then the phone is gone. I have to hold all 3 buttons to reset it and then it boots up fine like nothing is wrong. I've had this same issue on various roms I've used lately (Serendipity, Firefly, Cog4, etc.) and on my last flash I've even done the full flash to stock and master clear. Is anyone else having any issues like this?
I'm guessing this is 1 of 3 things:
1) I have a hardware problem with my phone and need a new one.
2) This is an issue with custom kernels with lagfix and I have to live with it or use a stock kernel. I know some custom kernels have had charging death issues (I've seen that happen to me also but idk if its from charging or the same thing as when its in my pocket)
3) Some app I installed is causing this. I have a hard time believing this can be the problem only because any app issues I've seen in the past just show up as a FC and don't take out the entire phone. If this is in fact an app issue, IDK how I'll ever figure out which one is causing it since it just dies and I don't get a chance to see a FC message or anything like that.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated as I really don't know what to do at this point. My next step is probably going to run pure stock froyo for a few days to see if I still have the issue but I suspect I will since its been present on every rom config I've used. Whats even worse is, if it happens and I don't notice for a while, when I finally reboot it the battery is severely drained. Its like something gets in an infinite loop and kills the battery depending on how long I leave it like that (the phone also warms up when its been in this state for a while).
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sounds like a warranty replavement to me.
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.

What kernel are you running? And are you OC/UV?
If so, try a different kernel (like speedmod k13e) that doesn't have OC/UV option. Black screen is usually a UV setting problem.
If it's not the case, warranty?
EDIT: Have you flashed over different ROM with lagfix/ OC/UV enabled?

Right now I'm running lastest Cog 4 with the included kernel (which doesn't support UV). I was OC but once I had this issue I reset the clocks to stock but then it happened again. Before I installed Cog 4 I flashed stock and master cleared...

1. Did u restore any data using TiBu when u flashed the ROM? Did u happen to restore any system data?
2. Did u put on any kind of under volting?
Flash any ROM, say Firefly, and use it for a day or two without restoring any of ur apps, and see if the issue is coming up again.
If yes, try changing kernel, say to onix, and keep on for a day or two see if the issue is recurring.
Just to be sure, can u do this:
1. Revert to stock
2. Format internal SD (similar to master clear to clear out SD card; I never did a master clear so far, only this)
3. Copy the ROM u want to use to SD
4. Flash Firefly 3.0 (this formats all system partitions, so no need to master clear)
Firefly has hardcore's kernel by default, and this kernel does not apply lagfix by default. Same with onix kernel too, and this is the reason I am recommending this combination of ROM and kernels. I use onix cos I have some wifi issues on hardcore's kernel.
5. Do NOT restore of ur data or apps

I did restore data using TiBu but only app data. The only system stuff I restored was bluetooth pairings and wifi access points. Other than that only app data. I don't have any UV right now...

I would NOT recommend ANY system data, except for contacts storage. This is the only one system data I personally found not to cause any issues.
Its easier to connect BT and wifi again, than go through the pain restoring this data sometimes creates. I faced issues with my phone not being paired to my car when I tried to restore bluetooth settings. It shows my car, but doesn't pair. I had to restart phone, delete the connection, and then reconnect. I found it easier to add back, than restore and go through all this trouble.
This time, pls try to refrain from restoring any of ur data from TiBu and a day's run for the ROM and see how it goes. If it goes well, u can restore data. But, before u restore data, I would recommend taking a nandroid backup just in case restoring apps starts creating issues again. This could save some time by getting u back to current state with no apps, instead of flashing all over again.

Before doing any of those things, I would check out your IMEI number and compare it to the one in this link,
http://www.captivateforums.com/sams...random-shutdown-issues-on-att-captivate-1272/
I dont pay for any warranty through AT&T, but I brought my phone in to a device replacement center and they replaced mine with a brand new phone!
Its worth a shot if you ask me.

My phone is completely freaking out software-wise :/

So, about 2 or 3 days ago I downgraded back to Froyo from the latest Gingerbread leak (too many bugs.) I did so with GTG's Ulimate unbrick, and then I flashed the pre-rooted/ pre-CWM stock ROM to it. I updated to the latest UCKH1 to be up to date, and then I restored a backup I made in ROM Manager a few weeks back. After that, I restored all my apps with Titanium backup. Now on to the issues. First time around my phone literally crapped out software-wise. It was literally force closing everything, texting wouldn't work, the Advanced power menu was gone except for Power Off. That only started after a full day of use with no issues whatsoever. It was completely random. Well late last night, I factory reset and put my apps back on again. Well I woke up this morning to find that my phone's suddenly being dumb again. Except this time the only issues that I know of are, the Advanced power menu's gone except for Power Off, and the home button will not function AT ALL. If anyone has any idea what's going on, or how I can resolve this, please lend a hand.

It sound like every time you encountered a problem it was after restoring your app with TiBu. Are you just restoring apps or apps&data? See how your phone runs without restoring apps. Try restoring apps(without data) and see what happens, or just manually download apps again. Could be a problem with data from the apps.

I was wondering the same. I have indeed been restoring apps with data. Didn't want to lose my Cut the Rope progress But, they may end up being my problem. I've always gotten away without issues, so I guess it's about time for one to happen, haha. I'll try it out after work today and post how it goes.

Most likely the problem lies with the backups being from a GB rom and now you are trying to put them an a Froyo rom. Probably saves it differently or something.

They tell you "Not" to use the backups from Titanium as they can cause issues, I reinstalled back to Stock Froyo as well running the latest UCKH1, When you do the Update to UCKH1 my advice is to go to Settings: Privacy: and do a Factory reset to fix the clock problem The clock will appear screwed up and will correct itself even when it's on Automatic Mode. Otherwise all is fine downgrading from GB Rom. Install all normal apps as usual, Screw Titanium my advice is just save the .apk file for the app in a Folder on your External SD Card, that's my quick way of reinstalling all my apps back regardless of losing settings.

you can also use tibu to restore single apps with data, you can try the ones you want to save progress and see if it causes issues. just stay away from system apps

I've never ha a problem with TitBU, as long as I restored "missing apps & data" ONLY!

same here, regardless of android version or even restoring on a different device. the only time i have seen issues is when i accidentally hit restore all apps with data, including system apps. thats when i got the constant fc and crashing

You know, now that I think about it I actually made a backup from UCKJ2. That's more than likely my problem. Funny how I'm looking for all these complicated things and it ends up being something easy. Haven't restored anything, so I'll wait a day or two and see if everything stays like it should, and then I'll restore only what's needed to ensure it stays that way. Sorry it took so long to respond, had work, haha. Thanks guys all the responses were much appreciated.

[Q] Phone, contacts and messages keep closing

I have Galaxy S with Android 2.3.4 JVR and it works like a charm - with this one exception: sometimes (too often) phone, contacts and messages (sms) keep closing. This happens usually within a second or two after opening up them. There's no force close message, it just returns to the home screen without any warning. If I reopen it, it usually does the same a couple of times, but eventually I get it to open.
At first I thought this must be a memory issue. However, I have Autokiller installed (my phone is rooted) and I have usually >100M free memory. Then I thought it must be Autokiller killing the dialer, contacts or messages apps. BUT: this happened also before I had Autokiller installed, so it can't be that either. The strangest thing is that I tried installing GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts + Dialer, and even they do the same thing occasionally (close immediately after I open them), so it isn't a problem with apps either.
I am bedazzled here, could somebody please help me? This starts to get really annoying, since the dialer, contacts and messages are the feature you normally use most in your phone!

I have the exact same problem! Somebody, please help

the phone app and etc. seem to be corrupt or something
try reflashing.If you keep getting the problem then revert back to your previous rom =/

Is there any way to try to replace only the phone etc. apps without flashing the whole rom?

from my experience no but you can try replacing phone.apk sms.apk etc with the previous rom's apps

The funny thing is that I have a stock 2.3.4 JVR, so it should be stable.

Plus, did I mention that this happens only sometimes? Sometimes they work ok. But this happens often enough to be annoying. You know, when you would have to make a quick phone call you have to open the phone app like 3-4 times, only then you're able to make it. I wondered if the the problem could still be in the dialer, contacts and messaging apps even if the problem occurred only sometimes?

In addition, the calendar app has done this a couple of times. Could it be that there's a conflicting app that's causing this? If so, do you have any suggestion what it would be?

Autokiller made my phone do some really funny stuff. After installing it i was having random reboots and apps crashing so i uninstalled and problem solved. You said it was happening before you installed it though so im just guessing that you need to either wipe cache and dalvik then reboot or do a full wipe and reinstall of your rom. When you do the full wipe go into mounts and storage and wipe system too

Hi and thanks for your comment. What are the effects of wiping the cache and the dalvik cache? Do I lose important data? Or can I do it safely? Sorry, I'm a bit of a n00b with android. I suppose you wipe the cache in download mode, right?

I experience exactly the same issue as you-though I am on stock jvu.I come from 2.3.3, stock as well, using chainfire root both times.
Sometimes phone contacts and message s close immediately after opening them, often several times. and sometimes everythings fine
here you can find some information about dalvik and normal cache wipe..your data will be safe-only first boot will take longer.I will try wiping now, too-reporting back then.
Edit:
For now wiping seems to have worked well and fixed the problem here..I need some more testing though-will keep you up to date here
edit 2: damn! The issue's still there.anyone got more ideas?
G'day!

I have the exact same problem with JVU and I had this problem with 2.3.3 but less frequent. I have no choice but to reboot the phone when it happen. I suspect it's caused by one of the widget (email and Go weather) that I put on the desktop. Going to remove the two widgets from desktop and see if it's help.

Okay, that sounds interesting - though I am not sure wheter a widget could cause this...
I am still running JVU but now with Galaxian Kernel instead of Chainfires root Kernel - flashed with SGS Kernel Flasher and still got root - and it runs very stable and fast 'till now. No more closing of phone, contacts and messages so far -.- since 2 days.
I'll tell you when it happens again, but so far it seemed to be a kernel issue for me...

I've been having the same issues with my Samsung SideKick 4G. messages would keep closing as I was typing them, I would lag and the key I pressed would "press again" like 15 more times, sometimes I just couldn't open a conversation, other times I couldnt answer phone calls cause the UI lagged.
That was all on stock firmware, and I got fed up with it so I tried to flash a custom ROM on it, and before I did that I had it OC'd to 1.2GHz which was actually pretty great. Needless to say, I screwed up on flashing the ROM and now I'm looking for firmware to odin back to stock. =\

Display / menus freezing and / or disappearing, system apps force closing

I've been searching this form for an hour or two now and still haven't found my issue, so here goes.
Just got an HTC Inspire 4G off of ebay and it arrived today.
The seller had mentioned that the phone was freezing / rebooting, but I figured.. that's because he's not running cm7, right?
Charged and booted up the phone and it turns out that the problem was a little worse than I first expected. I only experienced occasional freezing, and it only rebooted once, but there is a worse problem.
The phone loaded up fine, looked good, but tapping around on the home screen I got messages alerting me that system apps (htc sense, launcher, and even com.android.phone) had stopped responding or had shut down.
I hit the menu and go to settings. I scroll down the list and the entire list goes black. I hit home and it goes to a home screen, but with no launcher or icons. Basically, every few taps, the interface goes out. If you are on a menu it blacks out, if you are at home or press home after the menu blacks out you will get anywhere from pieces of icons / widgets to just a blank desktop. The live wallpaper even keeps going, but all of the interactive stuff quits. The disappearing menus didn't usually give app closed messages, they just went black. The home screen only gave app closed messages sometimes.
I thought this was a software problem, so I managed to root the phone and flash cm7. Everything booted good, but it still had the same problem of weird disappearing menus and home interfaces. I went ahead and flashed gapps and got the little intro thing about setting up my Inspire 4g that starts when you first boot your phone. I clicked through that but when it gets to connect wifi, the phone entirely freezes and I have to pull the battery.
I flashed inspiremod and nothing changed, tho that's for something else, so I'm not sure that's entirely relevant, but I was trying everything I could think of.
I'm definitely no expert on hardware, but it almost sounds like a ram problem, like it doesn't have enough to keep all of the interface going all the time and shuts it down or shuts parts of it down to work.. but I don't want to believe that. I'm really hoping that it's a software problem.
I got the phone at a good price and it came with an otterbox, so I won't be too disappointed if I can't get it fully functional, but it would still be a bummer.
Any help / advice / suggestions appreciated. Thanks, guys!
EDIT: I cleared the cache / dalvik cache before flashing / reflashing cm7, which I did once or twice
EDIT 2: Now if I leave it on the intro screen where it freezes it reboots after a minute or so. Gonna try flashing a different mod.. see if that helps.

That was a long post. But it was good, you gave a lot of info.
The cm7 zip that you downloaded, check the md5 checksum, make sureit matches whatever is in the op (first page) or wherever the md5 is, maybe where you downloaded it from. If it doesn't, download again.
Then,
from recovery,
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions(except sd card)
Flash zip/rom.
Check if it works. If not, try using it without the sd card. If not, come back and report.

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.
I check the md5, and it's good. I just did a factory reset and wiped cache and dalvik.. I'm unsure what you mean by format all partitions except sd card. I don't think I know how to do this with clockworkmod.
Started up without sd card and it still has the same problem. Looks great until I touch the screen, then everything disappears except the wallpaper.

Reboot in recovery and do it from there. You'll find format all partitions at the bottom... well, maybe. Cwm has an option to reboot in recovery, and I think if you press and hold the power button, select reboot and it will also ask you if you wantto boot into recovery. Cant remember if cm7 has it, it should.
After you wiped those, flash the rom. Stay in recovery and search for fix.permissions. Reboot.
Sent from a dream.

Just did that and re-flashed cm7, but the phone was still having the same problems.
I then repeated the process with a MIUI ICS rom and it seemingly worked for a little bit. I got a "Maps has stopped working" message, but I was able to slide back and forth through the home screens, and the menu came up. After I tapped though the menu a bit it started being weird again, but with MIUI the weirdness is different. It looked like the screen was divided up into 20 something smaller screens tiled across the display with messed up looking bits of screen in them.. weird..

If you are wiping correctly then I am out of ideas. I would say try a GB rom, however that is a strange issue and just might be a hardware problem. Tough, Im not sure.
Sent from a dream.

I've tried cm7, which is 2.3, and I've tried a 4.0.4 MIUI build and one other sense rom that didn't work well at all.
I'm wiping and flashing the same as I did on my LG p509, which works beautifully with cm7.
If it is hardware, hopefully it's something simple like the battery, and not bad RAM or anything serious..
Maybe if I keep at it I'll get it.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Np. Keep us updated.

I ordered a new battery for it, and that fixed the random reboots, which had been occurring more frequently, but the other problems were still there.
I flashed and re flashed and formatted and reinstalled a bunch, but still no luck. I then decided that I might take it by the local cell phone repair shop and see if they could fix it.
In preparation, I used aahk to flash the stock ruu with everything how it was when I got it. After booting it up, it seemed to be working ok.
I still get the occasional menu glitch, but it's so infrequent it's not an issue.
The phone still freezes up quite a bit when I'm using it, but it's nearly a useable device now!

Have you tried changing out the sd card? Having a bad sd card can cause all inds of odd issues

I booted it without an sd card before and couldn't tell the difference, but it had a lot more issues than just freezing then.
I haven't tried it since those other issues have stopped. I'll try that when I get home from work.

My camera and video playback causes reboot, several roms tested. Dead?

Hi, I have a problem with hard reboots. When i try to start my camera, from app drawer or key press the screen turns black and the phone reboots. Also similar thing happens when i try to play you tube videos. The screen freezes when i hit play and the hard reboot. Is this the end for my phone or is it a software issue. I have tired a couple of kernels and releases of cm9 that have worked before. factory reset, reverted to backups that worked before etc. Can anyone help me figure this out. The phone is only 1 year and 2 months old

try a fresh install of a stock rom

Can you provide the output from 'adb logcat' when this crash occurs?
Also, are you still using the original battery? I experienced problems with my MT4GS with the original battery after about 8 months. Random hard resets. Buying a new Anker battery solved my issue. Cheap Chinese batteries (ie., not Anker) did not play nicely with my MT4GS either.
Also if you need a copy of the stock ROM PM me, I made a nandroid backup of my MT4GS before I flashed a custom ROM.

Hey, don't knock all cheap Chinese batteries I bought a battery at a shop in Shanghai over the summer, 1900mAh, paid the equivilent of about $5 for it. Works great and last longer than any other battery I've had, including an Anker.

Hi, I did a total reset to stock. The problem is still there, or at least video playback because I can't come through with the introduction after i click next it wants play a video. BAAM! it reboots. Cant restore back to CM9 either because I can't come through to settings and disable fast boot to install revolutionary, i have HBOOT-1.44.0007 that I don't like to upgrade.
Don't have random reebots. Just video playback and camera. Everything else worked. Can't do a logcat either in this state.
Any idea on how to disable fast boot? Maybe how to skip the introduction with the video?
Right now i just want to restore my backup where everything works except camera and video.

I called my phone to access the phone > contacts > mail > gmail > browser > www.facebook.com > "Do you want to install the app" = yes > market > installed first best launcher > settings = Victory

Glad you figured that out. :good:

oki, so how do I make a logcat?

Can someone take a look at these logcats? I don't understand them
Edit: And this is with original battery. Same issue with the Anker 1900mAh though

Anyone?

just a quick browse through it my best guess it isnt hardware but software and you didnt do a complete wipe between flashes or restored stuff you shouldnt. you also seem to have a lot of sh*t apps running that look kinda like malware.
first thing id do is start the phone in safe mode, then check camera and youtube, if they run in safe mode then yeah for sure vicious apps.
if this dosent work (or i guess either way) do a complete wipe, and definitely a fastboot-w as well, reformatting would be best but im not sure what fastboot commands work with the revolutionary spl, try it though or use adb if you must.
also may not be a bad idea to reflash firmware, if your willing to do the wire trick and gain radio s-off this becomes easy and will help ensure a phone that is easier to resurrect in case something worse happens in the future... but choice is yours

I have made a full whipe and went back to stock everything including HBOOT. The issue came first thing when I tried to runt the intro movie. I didn't do a log then but the issue is the same. If I need to go back again and make a log I'll do that.

Here is logcat for stock. Same issue with video. But this time the phone didn't reboot on camera. Just turns the screen black and freezes

No answers? Anyway. I have ordered a new one now. Thought it was time for a new phone. The only one that seemed better was Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE. After reading about bad battery life and buggy software that corrupted the sd card I finally decided that MT4GS is still the best phone out there. New on ebay for 213 USD inclusive postage isn't that expensive either.
