The lockscreen whether its charging or not comes on by itself at random times and sometimes several times in a row. When its not charging, it obivously kills my battery. I thought it might be related to the rom im using, but i have tried several different roms and they all do the same thing. Another thing is my speakerphone will come on by itself when i answer a call. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
any ideas?

Sounds like something is set to turn the screen on. Do you have any custom messaging apps? What rom are you running? any mods? please provide as much info about your phone as you can to help find the issue

Right now i am running Android Revolution. When i first got the phone it had the Ingersoll Rom installed and i don't remember it doing it then, but since then i have tried, coredroid, rcmix3d, virtuous, honeysense, leedroid and they all do it. I have both "s" off. No i did have chompsms installed a while back, but have done several data wipes since then. No other mods. It is eating the hell out of my battery by doing this and i am starting to regret trading my iphone for it.

I would flash a sock rom and see if it does it. might be a phantom file that is not getting over written. If it doesnt do it then then reload the rom. are you restoring any system data or apps?

Sounds like you have a device issue, car panel should only come on when it is plugged into the car dock, might be a USB port issue

Sorry to hear ur issues. I can understand ur frustration but don't leave a general remark like this, cos what u r experiencing could be a stray issue due to some random app.
Anyways, coming to ur issue, try this once:
1. Format ur SD card
2. Copy the Android Revolution 5.1.10 (I am saying this ROM cos I've been using this since 5.1.7 and its been good all along)
3. Go to CWM console
4. Do the factory wipe option (data/cache wipe)
5. Go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache
6. Flash the ROM
7. Reboot
Do NOT restore any apps or data using TiBu.
Let me know how it goes. (I am subscribing to this thread )
Edit:
1. I had the speaker phone turning on issue on a couple ROMs, but didn't face it in Ginger Beast and this ROM.
2. Reg. car panel, I heard this issue on here many times on different ROMs. U cud simply freeze the app or delete it altogether if u r not using it. And like Zel said, this could be cos the charger u r using has current coming through that's around the same range as that of car charger.

Is it possible the sdcard is bad? I am about to format and reinstall android revolution right now. Ill post the results.
OK, flashed Android Revolution. The speakerphone still comes on automatically. Will keep an eye on the screen to see what it does. I have not any installed any mod, or apps yet. Totally clean install.
OK, it didnt do it as often, but the screen still came on. I'm not 100% sure, but i think it came on as data was being used? i noticed the data arrows moving. Formatting and flashing coredroid now and testing.
1. Did u restore any apps?
2. Do u have any of ur apps on SD card?
nope and nope

This is strange... Hearing for the first time. Could u pls post this on the Android Revolution thread and see if anyone else faced this issue. As far as I can recall, I don't remember seeing any such thing on that thread.
Edit: You could try re-downloading the ROM zip. Sometimes zips can be corrupt too.
This time when u try, please backup ur data on SD card, and format it fresh, and load only the rom zip on it.
this has been going on for a few months now, when i try to shut the phone down completely it just reboots itself. the only way to get it to turn completely off is by pulling the battery and leaving it out. as soon as i put the battery back in the phone it autoboots up. at first i thought this was a CM7 issue but in the past 2 days ive tested leedroids rom, honeysenceHD, and a few others and the phone still acts the same. its never been an issue but i would love to be able to turn the phone completely off if i ever needed to. someone suggested that its possible my bootloader is corrupted. is there any way to fix this issue?
This is a problem with the Advanced Power Manger, search for the fix.
Sent from my Inspire 4G
ok well can someone point me in the direction to fix this problem.....search finds NOTHING for a fix
what apps do you have installed can you list them? They can sometimes cause problems...
Make sure "Fast boot" is UNchecked under Settings, Power.
i dont see a POWER sub menu in settings nor can i find Fast Boot.
apps are as follows
everything that comes stock with CM7
Battery Calibrator
Beautiful Widgets
COveroid
Dev Tools
DSPManager
FasterFix
Linpack
Quickboot- just to see if it would turn the phone off and it doesnt
setCPU but not using it currently
Spare Parts
thats about it a few of those apps i think are part of CM7 but im not sure
Look for fastboot in settings, applications.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
theres nothing in applications that allows me to turn on or off FASTBOOT
ok so i was told theres no FASTBOOT option in CM7 so anyone else out there have any clue as to why my phone will not turn off and stay turned off when i power it down?

Well at this point, if you think that continuing to try other roms other than what you've already flashed won't help, you might just try flashing a completely stock image, with the stock hboot/recovery, etc., and see if indeed something went haywire with your bootloader, as you mentioned someone had suggested to you.
Try the RUU in the stickied thread, for example. The recent OTA ROM by Attn1 has the hboot removed from it so I don't think that would be a good choice for this attempt, because you want to get the stock bootloader back.
Now, I can't speak to the validity of that suggestion about the possible corrupt bootloader... I don't know either way whether or not that could be the cause, but if you wanted to at least try it, then my suggestion above would be the way to do it, I would think.
There would be no reason for it to continue to behave like this on a completely stock ROM, other than there being something defective with the phone itself.
It's a clockworkmod issue with daylight savings time. Change your date from automatic to a date before the time change (I just go to Jan) and your phone will shut off and stay off.
"Change your date from automatic to a date before the time change (I just go to Jan) and your phone will shut off and stay off. "
i dont really understand what you mean by change it to a date/time before the time change. i turned off the auto time but dont see where your talking about with setting the date change
I wasn't going to try to help cause I didn't like yer tone. You could say please and thank you for peeps time..

I just linked a guy with the same issue .. Yes its on another rom, but its the same issue....
Download the app....does it work? Problem solved if it does? Or don't.. i could not care less, my phone works normally......
it was a rom issue but guess u didnt read the thread to see that, that app is just another way to reboot your phone, i appreciate the effort but ive tried it many times and it boots/reboots the phone in the same manor the phone boots itself

so yeah you had a good point scott. i went ahead and got the phone all back to stock and problem solved, but its not what i want sadly. so i re-rooted the phone and immediately after the re-root i went to turn it off and there it goes again turning itself back on =(

So you have re-flashed to stock and the issue went away.
What rom are you flashing after root?
Did you check the MD5sum of the rom?
Have you tried a second rom?
Try just flashing to a stock rom like TCP;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982963
Edit, just read yer above post... None this is going to help. Lol
i havent tried flashing anything, i flashed it back to stock, rebooted worked fine. So i decided to just reroot it. its stil STOCK atm just rooted. its obvious that its a software issue id just love to know what and how to fix it.
When you're flashing to a new rom are you clearing all of your data every time? If not you might want to give it a shot when you try to flash to another rom.

You "tried the way posted on xda that seemed to work for a lot of people but it didn't work for me"..thank you soooo much for the detailed description of what that method was haha. There are a good amount of fixes out there for GPS and you provided nothing as to what you have actually tried so i'll just assume you did nothing and start at zero.
1. try Crypted's AGPS fix in the dev thread. It works.
2. if you're using a case and it covers the space between the flash and camera, take it off and try to get a lock either before or after using crypted's AGPS fix
3. try the other guys method above me.
4. buy a map.
forgot to mention
5. Go outside with your phone.
but yea as mentioned we need to has more details from you. How you rooted, how you flashed your rom
also you didnt restore any settings from a previous rom did you?
i was a noob over the weekend and restored wifi passwords that werent compatible and broke my wifi radio. had to wipe and reflash lmao. just making sure u didnt restore anything relating to maps or gps

ppffft you nooooob
yes I have tried almost everything, like flashing custom roms or stock ruu almost everyday with different variations. flashing kernels, tweeks, so on and so on.
It works somehow and it disconnect itself after a while or totally stucks in "wireless is turning on". After it get online it makes couple of reboots and it gives "wireless is turning on" error again. I can use the phone for days but wireless never gets on.
The funny point is when wireless on and screen is locked and screen is off. When I attempt to click screen lock button, sometimes it never gives light but I can see that The screen is on and I can move the ring and do whatever i want but it is very hard to see actually. I have to put on light on to see the pictures but it doesnt happen when wifi is off or gives error.
and another funny point is I can swipe down upper bar when screen is locked. I can do bypass.
What the hell is going on my phone? no idea really
lol, i don't know a solution for the screen/wifi issue. but lockscreen pulldown status bar is a new feature of ICS, not a bypass

Hi,
Have a look at THIS THREAD
Particularly # 3 and Extra 1
I have this problem as well...whatever I do, I can't get wifi to work anymore...I reflashed firmware, tried several different roms, I followed the guide in the aforementioned post...nothing helps...it always says "Error" after some time.
Is there anybody who knows what to do?
Struggled with same problem for months...gave up
I had the same problem with my wi-fi and bluetooth. Both would get stuck on "turning on" mode and never come on. Everything else worked fine. I too flashed ROMS, Kernels, RUU's etc. to no avail. SO I GAVE UP. After 2 months without wifi i couldn't anymore so i called HTC, they asked for my S/N and IMEI and confirmed I was still under warranty, so I un-rooted, went back to S-ON, flashed the newest official T-Mobile RUU and shipped the phone away. I called today and they said the MOTHERBOARD was being replaced and I should have it back this week! Woot-Woot! Try giving HTC a call...worst thing that happens is they say NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY...but you won't find out till you give em a call...*shrug.
I have the same problem with the lock screen and wifi. Except for me the wifi is always on "Error". It doesn't say anything else it just says error. It started happening after a system update failed to install. An update would come up and reboot my phone to try and install it. So it would start up ext4 recovery and ext4 would do some stuff and then reboot again. After boot I was asked again if I wanted to install the update. I repeated this process a couple of times before deciding I had enough and deleted the update.
Wifi has been on Error ever since. Everything else works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm on a HTC Sensation XE stock rom but HTC Dev unlocked and perm rooted.

Hi buddy.. I was having the same problem as you with the wifi error. Also my phone was restarting by itself. what I did was that I removed the SD card and left the phone without it. It worked for me. After that my wifi was working perfectly and no more restarts. I had a 8GB SD Card before, maybe with this new update this 8GB SDcard was too heavy for the phone. I running a 2GB SDcard now with no problems. Please let me know if it worked to you as well.. Good luck!!

I tried this, but it did not work. I'm not sure if my problem is a hardware failure or a software problem. 3 weeks after I got this phone, it got water damaged. Full of water! I took out the battery, letted it dry for some hours and turned it on. Everything worked! Only thing to see from the water, was the spot, that shows if it have got water, was 3/4 red. Everyting went good within a month or so. Then in feburary/march it stopped working (wifi). The same thing for Bluetooth. It's just writing "turns on" wifi or the bluetooth, and after 5-10 minutes it say "error"
Edit: The reason why I wonder about if it's a hardware/software failure is, I do not remember if it came within a install of an costum rom or it just happened out of now where
Any sugestions?

I had the same problem, this is how i fixed it : first flahs 4EXT recovery, not clockwork, then get the rom you want and a super wipe, go into recovery, turn smartflash on in tools. Superwipe, then let it reboot, turn smartflash on again, and flash the rom

Ignore this info. What you need to do is log into your router hub & change the wifi signal Ch from auto to say, number 4 or summat, guarantee that's your problem.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to find a Android 4 ROM/ Kernel that doesn't randomly reboot my MT4GS. So far no luck with CM 9.1 from scverhagen r8, r9b, r7b and the experimental 10a3, AOKP 4.2, CM 10 has been most stable of all so far but drains battery soo fast and also got me random reboots or shutoffs sometimes... The other ones usually reboot very fast after flashing. About 10 minutes after that, at least if the phone sits idle. Maybe when the phone is going to sleep or deep sleep? (Don't know what that is exactly)
Since these ROMs seem to be very stable with a lot of you guys, maybe I'm doing something wrong? I always wipe and format data and system and wipe battery stats and dalvik cache before flashing and don't use the phone for 7 minutes after rebooting... I have the newest radio I could find in the forums which is Radio 11.59.3504.00_11.16.3504.20_2
As always, your help means a lot to me and is greatly appreciated.

That means I did everything right and phone is s-off, right?
And yes demkantor, I know some apps are problematic and cause reboots/ instability, however I recently tested without installing any apps to be absolutely sure, even without gapps and it still crashed/ rebooted.
I am still without a clue, even you guys don't have another idea? Haha I don't get computer stuff even after all these years...
Oh I got another idea. Maybe my battery is broken and because most kernels optimize battery use and undervolting etc, maybe this results in my phone crashing or rebooting? Also, maybe a reboot means a problem with the rom/ kernel and a crash (instant shut down) means higher propability for a battery problem?
Man I'm really desperate hahaha

Is it only with the experimental kernels or does this happen on stable kernel as well?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Most kernels probably wont have undervolting built it, and yes as your rev soff you dont need to flash the kernel seperate.
Battery could be a culprit but not a common cause, maybe pull a last_kmsg next time it happens

You're having problems with every single 4.X series ROM you flash? Even with the original kernel that is supplied with that ROM? That just sounds SO weird! Almost as if you have a secured bootloader. Even with S-Off, that would keep it from flashing with the ROM. You haven't flashed a different bootloader sometime have you?

Stable kernels as well. I went all the way back to the absolute basics to try to make things stable.

Most kernels probably wont have undervolting built it, and yes as your rev soff you dont need to flash the kernel seperate.
Battery could be a culprit but not a common cause, maybe pull a last_kmsg next time it happens

I'm going to research how to do that... Is there a thread that introduces readers to pulling logs? I'll go looking for one.

You're having problems with every single 4.X series ROM you flash? Even with the original kernel that is supplied with that ROM? That just sounds SO weird! Almost as if you have a secured bootloader. Even with S-Off, that would keep it from flashing with the ROM. You haven't flashed a different bootloader sometime have you?

Exactly! Even with the original kernel of each ROM. I bought the device used, so I can't rule out the possibility that the last user installed a secured bootloader. Here is what my bootloader says:
-Revolutionary-
DOUBLESHOT PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.44.1107
MICROP-0353
RADIO-11.16.3504.20_2
eMMC-boot

This information could of course be fake But if you guys say battery is probably not the problem then it seems to be a good idea to flash a bootloader from the forums...
And again thanks for your help, I am kind of moved haha
If you try to flash a new bootloader the only way to get soff again would be via the wire trick, more complicaed then the revolutionary method but better, at the same time not neccesary.
If you know how to pull logcats last_kmsg is easy, if not its still easy and a quick google search will tell you how

Do you have this issue on stock also?

A fresh battery wouldn't hurt. Before I rooted, my phone would have random reboots and shut offs once the battery went below 60 percent or so. I did factory resets and tested with different apps installed and only a new battery fixed it. Best of luck!

Well, it was just an idea. From that info there, it would seem that you have the proper bootloader. That's exactly how mine reads.

Ok, right now I'll not try flashing bootloader since everything seems to be normal.
What I did to get last_kmsg:
Code:
Open terminal app
Enter "su" to get root privileges
Enter "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt" to save current log.
Close terminal app.
I attached the last_kmsg.txt. What do I do with it now? I don't have knowledge to understand it.

I can't remember using a ROM that never crashed, but I'll try a stock ROM if nothing else works. However an old kernel of scverhagens CM 9.1 seems to work flawlessly if battery is not about < 15%. The newest r10 kernel on the other hand always immediately crashes when the phone is not charging. When charging I haven't experienced a crash yet. That's strange and makes me suspect my battery is the problem.

Thanks! I guess I'll try an Anker since I have seen so much users here using it.

Thanks, but the problem is I'm pretty sure that something's wrong with my phone...
I'll try virtuous ROM and a new battery though.
hope it works

So, I'm reviving this thread, because I stopped writing only because my phone was broken. Now it's back and I'm facing this problem again.
I've tried a lot of the 4.x ROMs here from the forums, but all of them rebooted or shut down after 5 - 10 minutes after flashing. I also tried some without flashing gapps even, but still the same symptoms. Also tested it with my new battery, nothing changed. Even the scverhagen CM 9.1 ROM rebootet shortly after flashing that worked longer previously (guess that was just by chance)
Now I've tried the original image and it works! Ugh. So what can be wrong, any ideas?
I was having this issue as well and it ended up being my battery. I had ordered those gold ones and luckily had kept my stock. Plugged the stock one in and my reboots went away. Not sure if that's your issue. My brother had this issue and we updated his CWM that was older to the latest TWRP and that fixed his reboots. Hope either of those suggestions help

It happened with both stock and new battery (Anker).
Thanks, update to latest TWRP had been my next try, if it didn't work now. But it does! Yeaaah so happy Thanks to everyone again. Almost three hours uptime and not a single issue so far!
To conclude: What I did:
Revert completely back to stock with BlueIX6's stock image (except that phone was still s-off and sdcard not wiped).
Then followed instructions to unlock bootloader, flash CWM recovery and finally flashed ROM (see sticky thread). Works like a charm!
In hindsight maybe radio made my phone unstable... I think it's the only thing that's different from now.
