[Q] Resolve Sleep of Death - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an MZ 601 (Asia/Europe Xoom 3G)
I've noticed that it SOD's (Sleep of Death) a lot.
This occurs on stock Rom 3.1
I've tried Tiamat, Launchpad Gemini.
None of the Custom Rom's fix this, and I have not yet been able to come up with steps to reproduce this error. At this Time it seems to be occurring randomly. When it does however it is very very annoying.
Sometimes I can fix it by holding the power button, the screen will suddenly turn on and ask me if Im sure that I want to power of the device.
Sometimes on that dialog if I hit cancel, the screen goes dark and it will appear that it is SOD again.
I know there are various reports on the forum of SODs happening and other people claiming that the Xoom is a GED device and hence does not have SOD issues.
But clearly looking at my device it is certainly prone to SOD issues.
What could I do to find the root cause of the problem?
Could it be a hardware issue? Or is it software?
Does anyone here have a definitive answer for this problem?

Install a stock kernel.

right on, And make sure you do not use an alternate launcher...
My Gtabs used to suffer from this a lot, some kernel where fixing the issue, and using only stock launcher where having the same effect...

As I mentioned in my post stock rom which has the stock kernel and stock launcher had SOD issues. Both 3.01 and 3.1.
At this time the launchpad Gemini 1.30 kernel reduces the occurrance of SOD a lot. As it happens a lot less now. But it still occurs.

I would suggest a factory reset if its still not resolved, take it to the service centre

[Q] Does SOD happen to Xoom

I been reading lots about Asus Transformer and it looks like Sleep Of Death happen alots on the Asus HoneyComb.
What about Xoom. anyone experience it ? I cant find it here after doing some searching.
Edit.
What is SOD.
The device fail to wake up after going into sleep. It just freeze after pressing power button.
In some device removing and replacing SD-card fix the issue but it still come back. There is no permanent fix to this unless it is a software issue.
I will put it NO if it happen less than 2 times a week or the frequency did not irritates you enuf.
PS: Not sure why comment below is taking about gay and chicks. I hope they understand what I mean in this thread.
No I'm not into gay porn on my Xoom you sicko!
No I don't want to make out with you!! Ya hear that guys? Unpronounceable name up is there yappin' off about hardcore gay sleeps of doom and this chick wants to make out with me!

Not seen this on my UK/US hybrid Wifi Xoom.
Lol...I must be missing the point behind those comments too! No issues here 3g Vz.

Chlorophyll? More like borophyll....right?
I'm very familiar with SOD - it still happens on my Touch Pro 2 occasionally.
I've NEVER experienced it on the Xoom in the month I've owned it with either stock or Tiamat kernels.
(knock on wood) - my Xoom has never frozen even with the screen on.
Force closes are a fact of life, but this Xoom has never crashed requiring hard reset.
no hard crash here. just apps.

Never seen it myself and i use my Xoom all day long. Though my backlight did die on me less then 3 weeks into it's life, thank god for free warranty repairs
Mine didn't wake up from sleep once. I've heard of it happening on the Xoom but only once or twice, not common at all.
I've got a euro xoom 3g. It sod'ed often.
This happens on stock 3.1 and tiamat 3.2
Im looking for a solution to this as it's very annoying.
This happens regardless of what wifi sleep setting is selected. Even with never disconnect it will still fail to wake after the screen turns off.
It never happen to my xoom.

I've seen plenty of threads where users complain of a SOD problem. Being a GED device does not mean that it is immune from such an issue.
It might not be every device, but apparently its happening often enough.
I've started a thread here with the goal of consolidating all SOD issues, in the hopes of finding a solution.

Why do I feel like its an app/software causing this rather than issue with the xoom itself? Did you wipe properly? Flashing over roms can cause things like this...

Unresponsive parts of screen?

My phone sometime the lower portion becomes unresponsive and sometimes when in an app I can no longer scroll down it only allows scrolling left and right: even in apps like Gmail.
I'm using stock ROM, I'm tested the issue with several kernels but no result. The problem gods away when I lock the screen and unlock I again.

I have the exact same problem. Been trying different ROM:s and it's the same on everyone. I believe it's a hardware problem.

Yeah, how do I manage it?
Flash a different kernel. Glados, Matrix, Franco or stock.
Is this issue confirmed on everyone's device? I feel like calling up Samsung if it is indeed a hardware issue.
Anyone else confirm your screen gets erroneous and unresponsive on certain kernels?

Same issue while on stock GB and ICS, stock kernel. Problem goes away when screen is locked.
On average it bugs me a few times a week when I'm typing. Might have happened many more times, but as locking the screen clears the problem away, it could have gone undetected.
Weird never experienced on my nexus s i've tried GB .. ICS and a whole bunch of ROM+ KERNEL combination my screen works perfect maybe it's only affecting a particular bunch of hand sets .. idk? :/
it happens to me every now and then, usually while typing. generally i have to turn it off completely to fix it, which really sucks.
GB 2.3.7 and whatever the last GB matrix kernal. nothing running over or under.
Ya I have the same issue but for be it only happens when I plug in a USB or auxiliary cable ..oddly not my headphones (klipsch s4)
I've been debating calling into Samsung but haven't had time! Has anyone had luck!?
Edit: I'm running stock 2.3.6 i9020a

Phone issue

Currently the phone is on CM10, but this would happen on any rom. The phone is frozen with the bottom 4 touch buttons lit up. The only way to fix it is a battery pull and power the phone back on. Not sure what is causing this, but would like to know if anyone has found a fix for this issue yet. Thanks.
Its a known bug in CM10 and probably not a hardware problem. CM10 is still a beta (though a very good one) and quirks like this are expected.
Some versions of cm10 are more stable than others. Ive been using the 8 - 14 build and it has a minimal amount of freezing like this.

Thank god
My phone has the same issue, I thought it was H/W issue because I accidentaly dropped my phone very often. Glad to know it's just a rom bug, or I'll have to buy myself a new phone.
It was happening on stock ics also though. Did you guys see that on stock also?
Set your min cpu to 384Mhz, That fixed mine for sure.

[Q] Random Reboots

I've been dealing with random reboots now for a long time. With all this "stable" talk for JB roms I'm starting to wonder if it is just my phone.
I have ran many roms:
Slim Bean
All paranoid aspects of JB
CM10
sky JB
brickbeatz
Every single one the same. Multiple reboots or SOD's everyday at least 2 or 3. And if I'm using the phone extensively this amount could double maybe even triple. Is this normal? Is this something that other people are experiencing?
I have followed all install instructions including changing recoveries if requested by the install (big fan of TWRP but a lot of roms swear by sk8t's CWM)
I have odin'd back to uclf6 took the ota - formatted internal and external SD and is still happening no matter what rom I use.
When I was on ICS for a little I dig get a notification from time to time saying something to the extent of "battery disconnected" or "battery temp too high" and this is what made me start thinking that maybe this is a phone issue.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? This is my second Skyrocket. First was replaced by warranty because it started just rebooting consistently (may have been a stuck button, but I didn't worry about it).
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. I do search, and I have tried pretty much everything I have found. Now I'm just frustrated looking for help.
Reboots are not normal with any of the roms you've tried. I've tried a number of roms and haven't experienced any reboots. Sounds like a hardware issue, but others may have different advice.

I've had 2 soft reboots since reinstalling Slim 3.1 (from stock ICS), but that's it. Some ROMs I've tried in the past seemed to have them more often than others, but I haven't been able to nail down exactly why that happens.
Most of them these days are fairly solid and shouldn't be rebooting, especially not as often as you are experiencing. Have you installed a custom kernel? Are you OC/UV? Do you have BBS installed to see if something is preventing deep sleep?

Two soft reboots are not bad, but the amount that I have had is way moer than that. I know that some roms are going to be different than others thats why I tried multiple to see.
I don't have better battery stats installed because battery loss isn't really my issue. I have decent battery life (other than the fact that the SOD's and reboots seem to kill 7-10 percent every time they happen. I also never oc/uv always leave stock..
Would BBS tell me what is causing the reboots?
Thanks for both of your inputs.
You had some high battery temp issues. Is your device still running hot? That would cause a reboot. Liquidzoo, you had hot battery issue, could this be similar to what you where experiencing?

The high battery temp issues came about right after I odin'd, but that was telling me these things in which I'm not sure that CM10 has a pop up for notification on these things.
It doesn't but how does the device feel? Does it feel hot. If it gets too hot the phone will shut itself down and reboot

Yes the device feels abnormally hot all the time
That's most likely why it's rebooting. Now all we have to do is figure out why it's hot. Liquid zoo had similar issues and I think he brought it all the way back to stock to remove some wake locks.
Liquidzoo , any thoughts?

My guess is the temperature is causing the reboots.
Install Better Battery Stats and look at the CPU States. It could very well be that something is preventing deep sleep, which in turn would cause heat and heat would cause shutdown.

I experienced the same thing with my SR. I called up AT&T customer care and told them that this was unacceptable. After a while they sent me a new SGS III. It is most commonly a HW issue, which is what I was experiencing. I explained that to them, and that is what lead them to send me the GS III

The problem is I work in the call center atmosphere and I just can't bring myself to call in and be an asshole. It is unacceptable and I definitely should call them to talk to them about it, but I doubt I will get as far as you. I will also post some BBS dump after it has time to gather some information.
Thank you again for all your feedback

[Q] Random Shutdowns Cyanogenmod 10 Stable?

Hello all,
Semi-noob here, I've rooted and flashed my phone to the Stable version of Cynogenmod, on Android 4.1.2. I haven't added the Lightning Kernel, only because of a pretty annoying issue: the phone randomly shuts down for no apparent reason. I ran a search and didn't see much about this issue so here goes: doesn't matter what's going on with the phone, it will suddenly (and very randomly) freeze for a moment, then go black, the Samsung logo will appear, it'll vibrate, then kaput.
To turn it back on, I have to do one of 2 things:
-hold the Power button for a LONG time;
-remove battery, reinsert, hold Power button normally.
So what gives? Did I flash something wrong? Should I reflash the ROM? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers!
I'd think it's the screen of death.
But when I look at this more, I think of what the oc, governor and scheduler are.

The stable version is not very stable. Look for the latest nightly, its much better.
For the latest cm 10 10.1 and 10.2 go here http://www.goo.im/devs/cm/t769/nightly
Look closely at the dates to get the right one.

In retrospect, I should have thought of that, thanks! I changed it to Performance from Interactive after reading this last week and since then no shutdowns at all. Hopefully this is the end of that annoying bug. Merci! :good:
Whoops, no sooner had I written that than my phone shutdown again. WTF? Anything in particular I should do to stop this?
Try the latest cm 10 nightly? That is what I'm running on 2 phones with no shutdowns like your describing.

Yeah, I might flash it when I get back to the US, I am on a long-term business trip and last thing I need is to brick the phone while in France!
I've had similar issues with CM10 "stable". I knew the rom was at fault. I haven't tried the nightlies, but that would have been my next guesses too. I've been looking for a daily driver, and despite some hiccups with MIUI, I've been pretty happy with it.
