not 100% but might be your kernel. so if your rooted try a different kernel
No never heard of that. Will observe if my phone did that later

My Palm Pixi always did the same thing, when I plugged it in with a dead battery.
One of my previous Evos did that. The screen would freeze completely and flicker - if sound was playing it would continue on whatever note was playing when it froze. It started doing this about once a day, then it did it all the time. It would freeze on the splashscreen so it would take 15-20 attempts to get it to boot fully, and then only run for about 15 minutes before it would do it again. Sometimes when it finally booted it would say that the battery was at 0% despite a full charge. I then started to notice that if I put it on the charger while it was off, it would turn on as soon as I took it off.
The phone wasn't rooted - it was a replacement I had just gotten - so I couldn't try flashing anything.
The techs at the Sprint store couldn't tell me what was wrong with it. If yours continues to get worse then I'd take it in for a replacement.

Sounds almost like mine, Except mine turns on when I'm plugging it in... I recently tried a new phone charger and it Still did it just Not as much so its kind of hard to determine if its actually the phone itself, or the Cheap chargers that I have?
Also Anyone know what Car mode is? It's been Enabling itself Without me actually physically doing it myself, and when I turn it off its right back on very next Reboot!
Oh yeah by the way...
Thanx for Everyones input!

Hey everyone, is anyone else experiencing the phone not coming out of standby when pressing the power button?
I've experienced this 3 times now and overnight while left on the charger to use for my alarm clock, it didn't go off. I tried to press the power button, no go. I had to pull the battery out to get the phone going again. Good thing I still had my nexus one for the alarm.

This phone has been a pain in the arse. I have missed multiple emails because the thing randomly shuts off or locks in standby. I have had to pull the battery three times since yesterday.
Hope the magical devs get going on Gingerbread for our phone.
No reboots for me. I switched from NS because of the reboots and I needed a stable phone, but you may have faulty unit. If it's still giving you problems after a reset try to get a replacement. I'm getting insurance ASAP.

Where can i get insurance for this phone? Is it directly with T-Mobile?
I've had two non-responsive out-of-standby situations. The first one I was able to reboot, while the second I needed to pull the battery.
I've also had a single unrequested reboot this morning.
T-minus 29 days.
Insurance on these phones is only available at time of purchase.
No issues like that for me.. Things the ****....

No issues whatsoever for me either and I have had the phone since yesterday.
I've noticed it does it when it's on the charger. I've done a factory reset, uninstalled all apps except one to log the logcat and see how it does on and off the charger. I don't have a sim card in though, that and the apps are the only things I'm changing for this shut off test.
My first Android device! I had the same issue this morning. Just got the phone yesterday and had it on the charger overnight. It worked fine first thing in the morning but after a couple hours is shut off and wouldn't come back on. I had to pull the battery to get it up again.
I had this problem myself. Called LG and they said they haven't experienced this problem nor received any calls about it (bull****) . So I returned.the.phone for a new one and haven't had that problem since.
I had random reboots and my screen wouldn't come out of stand by. Usually happened after I didn't use the phone for 10 minutes or more.

The second occasion when mine didn't resume from standby is when I think I left Google Earth running. It's possibly a GPS-related issue, or something of that nature.
It's been nearly 24 hours since then, and one random reboot, but it's been solid otherwise.
forum over at T-Mobile is also tracking this issue.

I've fixed my issue by doing a factory reset and setting wifi calling to cell preferred. Seems like some issues with the phone software wise from all your answers

Kampf you are wrong about that i am a RSA and you can get insurance up to 14days after buying the hone. I plan on putting the Lifetime warranty on the phone no need for the insurance as well.
I only have the issue when charging via wall. I rooted my device and used titanium backup to freeze a lot of junk that's constantly running including the wifi calling.
I also had the issue of the phone not coming out of standby after being hooked up to the wall charger overnight. It required a battery pull. Wifi Calling was turned on, like others mentioned they had.
I'm having the random lockups and the random reboots. This morning alone within an hour I had to pull the battery 4 times to get the phone to come back on. I've had it happen on charger and off charger. The odd thing is it never happens while the phone is in use, only when it goes into standby.
I've been having the same issues on standby too. The weird thing is that most of my reboots happen when have my phone in my pocket or when the lights go off after going into standby. It could be purely coincidental though.
Yesterday while toggling airplane mode I got a reboot. First yet and it was on gingerbread..i just had another one while accident pressing power for too long..
the phone reboots just holding power even if the screen is off. Maybe just maybe this button is getting pressed for too long I their pockets or just pressing power to toggle airplane mode and its rebooting. Or maybe something with this function bugging out...
Anyone else notice phone reboots just holding power for too long?
Edit:Im almost positive this is what caused my reboots
My phone was on the charger last night only for me wake up and it was off. Full battery when I powered it on.
Doubt its being turned off my accident.

As I said, some people.. Maybe some is legit but others are this issue..
Or like I said, something related to that. Maybe bugging out or something.. Just seems weird that holding power causes a reboot.
A lot of my reboots were spontaneous when I wasn't even touching the phone. Also when it was charging overnight.

Maybe somehow the phone off has a bug thinking the power button is being held in or just that function bugging out when the phone is off...
Dont know just a thought.but I'm positive this rebooted mine.
Definitively not by accident!! And the damn thing reboots by itself every 5mn for a few times while I was watching it doing that while plugged in, then turns off by itself in the middle oh the night, I'm getting another one, and another one until I get a working one with no light bleed. I'll receive my 3rd one in a few days.

Mine just did it again. I didn't have the problem on the stock rom, CM7, EaglesBlood or any other rom aside from the unofficial Gingerbread leak.
The rom itself it very nice considering CM7 has weird issues of its own, but resetting/locking up is a big no-no.
As I said earlier my phone was off this morning after flashing the leaked rom last night. I wiped several times this morning, flashed Eaglesblood, wiped again, and again, flashed the leaked Gingerbread, wiped and wiped again.
Set the phone up but didn't install any apps (testing). Cooked breakfast; fine, watched a TV show; fine, took a shower; fine, got dressed; fine, stepped outside for a second; locked up.
The phone was on because when I pressed the power button the touch panel lit up. The lockscreen showed for a second then went out. Then it was unresponsive. I held the power button down for a few seconds, which turned the phone off, then held it again to turn it back on.
Sucks. Must be the rom. Weird why the stock didn't do it, nor others. Others are claiming theirs are fine.
It is SO weird how these problems aren't across the board and are so random. Everything points to a kernel which wasn't included in the lacked build. Hopefully when the official one comes out, we'll get an updated kernel to go with it.
I think it's the overheating problem. My first phone was very hot and had 3 reboots in 5 days. New one I have has no reboot yet and doesn't get as hot like the other one. PCs get BSOD or freezing when overheating. G2X gets Black Screen of Death and freezing.

This could very well be. especially since a lot of people have reboots when charging and that generally makes the phones temp higher...
Luckily I'm good...
If I had the rebooting problem, I would definitely exchange my device. I haven't had any reboots or freezes though.

U could be right but my phone shuts down a few times right after charging. But then for the rest of the night it won't shut down anymore. Sometimes it shuts down in the middle of the night too, it's very randomly. How do u explain that?

I would too. That **** would annoy me...
hey im running on stock and have had no problems up until a couple of days ago where the battery icon on my G2x shows that its charging but i dont have it plugged in at all. what bothers me the most is that my phone wakes up randomly as if it has been plugged to the charger. Anyone else have this issue? i havent heard of a problem like this happening to anyone else. Any ideas? oh and yes i did a complete wipe of everything but the problem is still there.
Just had this happen twice yesterday, but even worse off. The charging state toggles about every half second. When I try to turn the screen off it will pop back on and the "Charging (XX%)" will flash on and off on the lockscreen, keeping the screen on. It stopped about 30 seconds into the madness both times. I'm not too worried about it. I'll exchange the phone if it becomes an issue. Kinda curious what it is though.

I am facing exactly the same problem as quoted above. Got my G2X day before yesterday and this problem starts to happen as soon as (and every time) the battery comes down to 70%. It does not happen when the battery is full. I am on Android version 2.2.2. Haven't been able to upgrade yet. Did you guys try upgrading to gingerbread? Does that solve the problem?
I have a strong feeling that it is a software problem, not a hardware one. What do you think?
I dont have the same phones as u guys, but my problem is the same, it thinks its charging but i dont have it plugged in. I'm sure its a software issue, rebooting, removing battery, hard resets dont work. did any of u guys solve the problem, if so, any clues as to what the issue was that i can look into?
Did it get wet?? I had this problem a while back when I wiped my phone off with a damp towel. Some water had got on the connector at the bottom. I just pulled the battery and got some canned air and got it out. Haven't had that problem since

I really don't know if this is possible or not.... but I might need to get some new corduroys after a case of the brown adrenalin with my new sensation.
Got it Friday as could see progress on the rooting and sure enough Revolution came up with the goods same day. Rooted it Saturday.
Fully charged it, switched it off and went back to the HD2 - flip case and car kit arriving today. Really don't wanna damage my new boy toy by pocketing it with car keys etc.
Stone me though I thought I bricked it. Wouldn't switch on this morning - just a dark flicker of the screen. Sweat pouring off my forehead. Never bricked a device and flashed my HD2 & TP2 a million times and my £450 unlocked handset is 3 days old and dead..
Long and the short of it is plugged in the charger again and a few minutes later it powers up - 3% battery.
Is it possible it could drain switched off? Or should I blame the kids for messing with it and deduct my dry cleaning bill from their pocket-money?
After I rooted, I had to do a battery pull until I was able to turn my phone on again, although this doesn't really replicate what problem you had...
The battery does not drain if the phone is turned off.
Question is, was it definitely turned off?
Even if it wasn't, there's no way a full charge is going to drain overnight... Unless you had a Satnav running...

You're right - it SHOULDN'T... I'd rebooted no problems several times after the rooting. Some OTA update came over and didn't install successfully though.
It'd be very odd (and a warranty issue, get ready to go into rooting reverse) but for now I'm inclined to just blame the kids. Unless anyone else has has similar experiences.
I guess time with it will tell.
EDIT: Apparently it's a known issue and has been fixed with the new CWM update! See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Ah ha, looks like it's not just me!
This just happened to me today and I had to change my pants because I thought I bricked it. I rooted it and installed InsertCoin no problems!
Today, as it jumped off my WiFi and onto the mobile network it got stuck on "Disconnecting from Morsolo's WiFi" and just sorta froze there (the phone still worked, but it wouldn't fully disconnect from WiFi, so I got no mobile data).
I turned the phone off via normal methods (40% Battery)... Then it wouldn't turn back on. The phone was a little bit hot at this point, but it does heat up so I thought nothing of it.
For a good 30 minutes, nothing happened. All that I could see happening when I attempted to turn the phone on was, the screen backlight would turn on, fade off, turn on, fade off. No boot, no recovery, nothing.
I tried charging it and it would show the indicator for 2 seconds and stop charging (but this is a known issue, apparently it continues to charge regardless).
After numerous times pulling the battery, trying to start, charging, battery, start... I finally managed to get it to boot and it said the battery was at 3%... After the phone was STONE COLD DEAD for a good 30 minutes to 1 hour.
...I just got home (with a dead battery, of course) and now that I've plugged it in again, it wont boot, again.
I think we've discovered an issue.
EDIT: Good man. Thanks for the update. Better get onto that right away.
Yup.. that's the same experience... except I'm still on stock rom with tweaks.
What do you reckon - flash back to stock and see if it still happens? Really don't want it turning into permanent paperweight with an iffy bootloader for someone at warranty to find with their JTAG.

I switched off my phone for a day and then today when I tried putting it for charge (when the phone was still off) the battery charging sign came for just a second and then stopped. And since then my phone won't turn on.
I don't even know what to do since I don't know what went wrong. It didn't get wet, I didn't bang it anywhere...
The phone won't turn on so I can't get to download mode or recovery
I already tried letting it charge for about 1 hour but still nothing happens

2 reason first you battery is broken secind hard brick or sudden death
Do you have custom rom?

It could be screen problem definitely, same happened to me, so i had to take it to Samsung's center where they gave me new Galaxy 3/Apollo.
It happens because of overclocking or underclocking even by undervoltaging your device. So next time take care.

My battery is relatively new (bought a year ago) and I didn't flash my phone recently.
I am using a custom ROM though. I haven't overclocked my device or undervolted it.
Hmm it's possible that the screen isn't working. I'll switch on the phone and try calling on it to see if it shows as switched off or if it rings. Then I'll come to know if it's a screen fault
I'll report back soon. Thanks!
