Hi guys, just writing to let you know how my Skyrocket died yesterday...suddenly started lagging and after reset all the soft buttons unresponsive. Every kind of reset did not help. Going to the store for exchange.

This has happened to my skyrocket now twice. I have remedied the situation by taking out the battery and putting it back in. I then leave it plugged into an outlet for a few minutes and everything seems fine. The battery registers as having full charge too.
Were either one of you overclocked?
Or, even more telling.. Anyone running the Alien ROM ?
Mine died, and when I restarted, all I got were a billion (and four) F/C's
Did a reload of Alien to get back running, and it worked until I pulled the battery to reinsert my external 32gb SD card. Then the same thing all over again... Reloaded long enough to get home, gonna try going back to stock rom now.
Nope and nope. Stock everything, guys. Got my new rocket today. So far - so good!

I was on youtube listening to in dying arms and I kept getting email notifications in my status bar but when I opened my email no new emails were found. It sketched me out! I all paranoid with security and what not. Well I went to shut down my phone then reboot into recovery but it went into bootloop instead.
My phone would only go into bootloop as long as power was connected. Otherwise it was like it was completely dead(had full battery tho). I re-flashed cwmr and booted into it and restored.
I'm just going to wipe everything's and start fresh. That bugged me out!
Happen to anyone before? Anyone know a possible cause?
CM7 Trinity kernel regular voltage

It happened to me once. Overheating was the culprit. I can't remember the app right now, but something I had installed was causing crazy issues. I removed it and have never had another problem.
Are you still on CM7?

Yeah I'm back to CM7. I was using CM9 but not being able use the cam corder or watch videos that were recorded on a cam corder was enough for me to go back to CM7!! CM7 randomly shuts off tho. It is a pain in my freaking butt!!!!!!!!
I might try eagles blood and see if this stops happening. Cuz I'm not beat for searching/combing through apps to see if one of them are the cause.
UPDATE: It may be a hardware issue. I was on the phone and put the person on speaker and placed the phone down and it reset. It was very lightly too. Come to think of it, anytime my phone reset it was in my pocket or somewhere I couldn't see the actual phone. So the back of the phone could have hit my thigh too hard and it could have shut down.

I'm using the New Clip mod of the Weapon Rom and have no issues right now. A lot of long time posters are still using it. Very stable. My other thought is swapping the battery at a Tmobile store. My wife's phone used to get hot and reboot when she used edmondo and the GPS. New battery fixed it. I still believe there was a bad batch of batteries with the initial launch.

This happens when I hit the back of the phone. Like if I place on the table, it will shut off. No overheating issues. Ill try a new battery first and report back here.

Fold a piece of paper a few times and put it in between your battery and the case. Could be the battery terminals losing contact briefly.

Excellent idea. Hope that fixed it for him.
I haven't tried yet. I'm busy working on my car. I had a blown head gasket and had to replace it. Im stuck with my distributor timing. As soon as I'm done, ill have a crack at my phone. I have an extra battery lying around somewhere. Ill try the paper trick first! Ill let y'all know in a day or 2. Thanks

Hey guys,
My beloved nexus s 4g appears to be on It's last leg. After running cm9 stable for weeks without flashing any new roms or kernels it started freezing and locking up randomly. Eventually it started freezing midboot and doing nothing. Sometimes it hung on the splash screen and wouldn't boot. Sometimes it randomly rebooted into recovery out of no where.I tried wiping everything and starting clean, same issue. Most often, it will freeze after being asleep for a while and lock up when I press the power button
I tried running stock, same issues.
I tried relocking and unrooting, same issues.
I tried raising the voltages of clock speeds, same issue.
I have noticed if it's plugged in to a charger, it works perfectly. Any chance It's just a bad battery or something else?
Thanks for any advice guys and gals

Very strange...
RU insured? If so then swap it.
Have u tried to run a logcat to see if it shows anything after reboots?
I think batteries are like $10 bucks or so... or just go to phone store and tell them ur issue and use one if their batteries... but of course you'll need to be back to stock in case they check it
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G

It could be the battery not giving you appropriate voltage. I'd buy a replacement. At worst you're out of 10$, at best you Nexus S works.
Not insured. Upgraded to evo 3d, but I miss the nexus. I love the pure Google and form factor of the ns. Gonna try buying a new battery. Thanks gang

Got a new battery. Still has issues booting but seems to be a little more stable. Still not sure its usable as a daily phone :/
Thanks for the suggestions though

Hey I'm back with another question and was hoping for an answer I'm currently running absolution 3.7 and some times whenever I reboot my phone after charging it to 100% it boots and just says 0% and turns off. the only solution I found was to plug it into the charger and turn it back on and it would be fine. But I'm not always near my charger :/ I can't conclude if this has been happening on other roms since I stay with abso more than anything. I'm not undervolted or overclocked.

Make a backup.
Download rom again, check md5, full wipe (you should know how to by now ), flash rom, don't install, restore any apps. Wipe battery stats just in case. With nothing installed see if you can reproduce the issue.
Sent from a dream.
Well to reproduce it'd take time. I've only gotten this a few times like I said once in a blue moon. I ended up going into recovery where it said --% for my battery so I wiped the cache and dalvic. Rebooted. Powered off and rebooted once more and it worked but I was stressing because I was going away for awhile today haha xD but yes ill try what you said. Thanks I know I've had this before I moved (3 months ago) and have flashed multiple times. It could also be just the battery because it is swollen and I can't even pull it out xD its time for a different device just not in the budget :/ oh well lols

Yup, could be the battery.

Yeah its pretty bad. My back of my phone isn't flush with the battery door or the bottom door to the sdcard/simcard also tried my hardest to pull it out and had absolutely no luck haha

Check out the threads where they take apart the desire hd/inspire to see if there is a way to get it out and just buy a nrw battery. Before the battery damages your cellphone.

The next step is for it to explode. Haha I'm not too worried if the battery is the problem I can barely use my screen haha xD

I've had this issue too. It's most common when I'm switching batteries.
I think it has something to do with the battery stats. My fix for it has been to either keep rebooting or pulling the battery until it recognizes it as 100, charge it for a second, or switch out the battery.
Really strange.
I can't pull my battery lol. But I tried rebooting a few times nothing worked so I wiped the cache and delvic cache and had to reboot a few more times and it worked. But I just don't like that this happens all time at bad times lol xD

Hey,
So yesterday night my phone randomly rebooted and did that thing where it just kept constantly vibrating until I took out battery. I was running AOKP R4INS JB so I assumed maybe just unstable build or something. After waiting ten minutes, I put the battery back in and no vibrations. Good. Went on and restored a STABLE Embryo 5.4 nandroid. Worked great until right now (14 hours later). Phone random reboot after I hung up a phone call and started vibrating. Is my phone like dying or something? What's up with this? I don't even know what warranties this phone has but I would rather not have to go through that process. I got this phone for Christmas last year so less than a year. I really don't expect issues like this from a "stable" build like Embryo.
Thanks
I had the same problem with my phone. Took it to an AT&T phone repair center and they replaced it for free. After reading some more about the problem it looks like a stuck power button and not the fault of the rom. I was on SkyICS when it happened to me.

Stuck power button? Ehh so bot the rom. Well it fixes itself if I leave it alone for a while so I guess I'll just deal with it. That is.... Unless I can convince them to upgrade me to an s3? Long shot

Nothing to do with ROM. Its a stuck power button. Either dust/dirt in there or a short causing the problem.

I have had my S3 for about two months now and it has been rooted the whole time. The stock ROM finally annoyed me enough to try a new ROM. I installed Rootbox then Pacman, but they both just sat on the boot screen for about 10 minutes before I pulled the battery and gave up. I tried installing MIUI which went well but as soon as I hit the 'restart' button, the screen went blank and now the phone won't turn on. The battery is fine, I tried the known good one out of my wife's S3.
Is there any hope here? Any chance I will be able to get it swapped out at Verizon? Am I just f'ed?
Just for the record because I know it will be asked: I am have installed many ROMs on my old Droid X and I did follow directions for these installs. MIUI even had the wizard. I do have a nandroid but since I cannot turn the phone on at all, I can't get to it. I cannot get to download mode or react when I plug the charger in. I can't even get the thing to vibrate when holding down the power button...as far as I can tell it is COMPLETELY dead.
Thanks for the input.
Pull the battery and try again. If that doesn't work plug it in and see if it charges.

i fried a gsiii and got a replacement frpm big red. just tell them the OTA did it. if it can't turn on they can't check what you've done until it's too late. bring it in asap and have a sob story about how the update destroyed your phone... it worked 2 days after the jelly bean update for me.

No dice on both fronts.
Thanks Bear, that is pretty much the plan so far.
Any response booting into download mode?

Does the screen flash for a second or respond for any amount of time when you try charging it with or without the battery? Our is there no response at all when you're trying to charge it,?

No problem. They will give you a replacement as long as there is no physical damage to the phone... Good luck!!

Did you flash a rom for the i9300 version of the phone and not the i535? I did that and hard bricked my first s3.
