Fuze keeps trying to turn off....

Hey guys,
This is my first post but i have been doing a ton of reading since i got my fuze and have flashed many different OS's and have had a great time doing it. I have stumbled upon a little blip though. I flashed to NATF's v3.1 and ran removehiddenproxy.cab i was prompted to soft reset so i did. Now i keep getting a popup saying my device is going to power off every minute or so!!! this is still happening even after i flashed to a few other roms to see if it would get rid of it! i've dug through some info but so far havent come up with anything. Any ideas on where to go now? the exact prompt is "Power will be turned off, and you may loose data if you have not saved them. Do you want to continue?"

It's not a rom problem that I can tell.
My stock rom does the same thing from time to time.
I installed Energy rom to see if that would help but it still did it.
I put the newest rom from htc back in in case I have to take it in for repair, and it's still doing it.
I have no clue why it does it. The first time it did it, draining the battery seamed to have stopped it. The next time it stopped after 6-8 hrs on its own. This time who knows..

Something like this appears to be happening to me as well, though I just can't use my power button at all for 8ish hours. I am using energy rom.

[Q] What would cause the phone not to wake up?

I picked up a Captivate and used SuperRooter, got Clockwork on there, and put on some apps. What's odd is that if the phone sits for a while and I try to wake it up, the screen doesn't turn on - even after waiting like 3 minutes. Besides flashing back to stock, is there anything I can do to see what might be causing this? Would a logcat via ADB help? When I set it down and use it every few mins, it's fine. It's just doing the weird not waking up thing when it sits for a while.

I've had mine since aug. 2nd....this just started happening to mine over the past few days, where it'll shut off while sleeping. Its only done it 2 or 3 times tho. Mine isn't rooted.
Seems this is happening to a bunch of people, some have had to remove the battery to get it back on....i haven't had to do this yet. (knock on wood)

Is there a way to disable a long press of the Power button while the phone is locked? I'm wondering if that is part of the problem.

Are you using SetCPU? The ondemand CPU governor is known to cause this problem.

Setcpu was causing my vibrant to do the same thing, deleted it and everything is fine

If SetCPU is an app, i haven't installed that one....

Removed it and it is still doing it. If the phone is plugged into anything (weither stay awake is on or not) it seems fine but when it is unplugged, it shuts off every few mins. My girl has this phone for the week and I won't see her til the weekend but I was reading on Android Forums and it seems alot of people are having this issue. I will flash back to stock and see if it helps, but I have a feeling it won't help.

i think its the root i mean i it did taht after i rooted i just got my replacement seeing if itll act up if not ill keep it if it does im jumping ship to buy a international galaxy s

Does your phone smoke a lot of pot?

I'm actually wondering if it doesn't have something to do with power handling with a full battery. I had to swap mine out because any time it was charged 100%, if it slept it turned off. After a few restarts or me playing with it enough to drop it below a completely full charge it was fine. I don't know, but if this new one does it I will just return it and look for something else :_(

well ricparr and anyone else i would just return your model saying its defective and get a replacement tahts what i did

[Q] Phone doesn't come out of standby

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

I encountered lockup once, but I don't encounter random shutdown/reboot yet.

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.

Pattern to my reboots - do yours have a pattern?

So over the last few days my phone seems to have settled into some sort of weird pattern with reboots. Although there are outliers, in general it always seems to reboot between 19-24h of uptime and nearly always at like 45 or 50 mins past the hour. It's the most bizarre thing in the world and why I think there's some funky software doing it. I don't have true random reboots, but I can't figure out what it is that is doing this. Very odd.
In all cases my phone is sitting with the screen off (I've NEVER had a reboot while using the phone/screen on) but it doesn't matter what radios are on, WiFi, BT, GPS (can be off or on).
Last time I ran "CatLog" a logging app from Market and had it write to SD logs and a reboot happened but it only by default writes every 200 lines so the last line in the file was probably not the last line in the log. I'm going to try again later and set it to write every line or few lines so I can see the last entry in the log before a reboot. Might shine some light on it.
Just find it very strange since it's a very stable and capable phone for about 18hrs and then it just craps on itself. Very strange.

finally. I too just think it is some weird software or driver bug because I was running EB 1.0.4 FINE for like 3-4 days and loving it... then it started resetting almost hourly. I didn't install any other apps past my initial normal set of apps.
Even CM7, seems like it is fine for a few days, then gets crazy. As long as I put a new nightly rom on it every day, it's good.
I didn't have any issues with stock though and didn't seem to have issues with CM7 for a while until lately.
The leaked GB rom causes lockups immediately out of the gate seemed hourly.
I use CM7 as my main daily driver now but I think you are on to something. We are talking about the Screen of Death right? I don't think mine ever reboots, but gets stuck at the lockscreen where the the display comes up, swiping to unlock vibrates then the phone but doesn't change screens to desktop. The buttons and click/drag widgets work even though you are looking the lockscreen.
I've never had my phone powered off in my pocket or noticed it "rebooting". Mine just has the SoD that seems to follow your pattern idea. They may be related. Stock roms may reset once it locks up, where CM7 just keeps running in its locked state.

I have a really strong sneaking suspicion that every G2X reboots but not everyone notices. Also if you naturually turn your phone off once a day or so you won't notice it perhaps or even a few days. The phone reboots pretty fast and the only way I've been noticing (except the times I see/hear it happen) is I have an uptime widget on my homescreen so it's obvious.
Same thing happened with my Droid Incredible btw...when it first came out there were all kind of random reboot issues. After a software update I would run that phone hard for 30-45 DAYS straight without a reboot.
It's annoying but I think it's just a matter of time before the G2X is the same.

I just hope that update gets here sooner than later.

I dunno. The tmobile jingle is pretty loud and I never hear it. CM7 has a silent one so possibly there but I dunno.
I use my phone pretty often and never had the suspicious that it reboots. My phone stays very cool during my usage compared to my nexus and other phones
My uptime was 4 hours since I reset it last. I'll monitor it with results. It'll be hard not to flash but I'll keep track and see how far I can keep it online.

i have not had any reboots or waking up to a dead phone ....with the only fix is a battery pull.... ever since I started.
1) my over night charging / long term charging to 100%... only on the LG charger that it came with. Only short term...maybe. less than an hour and not to a 100% charge on a non LG charger (car charger etc...)
2) I restart my G2x every morning when I take it off the LG charger..(after I take it off..I did it once while on the charger and had an issue... (there is definitely an issue related to when it charges to/ around 100% charge)
Just my 2 cents.

Pattern to my reboots - do yours have a pattern?
Hold Power and volume up simultaneously for about 10 seconds.

I've had my phone since Friday, but the only time I had the rebooting problem was this past Saturday when it rebooted four times within 15 minutes or so. Before the rebooting began, the phone had slowed down to a crawl, so I went ahead and rebooted it. After that, I sat it down and watched it reboot a few times on its own. Luckily my iPhone 4 owning co-worker was completely unaware of this issue since we tease and bicker with each other every day over Android and iOS .

I can guarantee that mine don't reboot. I've had it up fire days, checked the up time and play with it constantly.if it rebooted in the middle of the night I would hear it or the uptime would be close to zero in the morning..
I have a way stable phone.running stock, rooted with bloat removed.. I love this damn stable phone.

Everything other than smart share, tegra zone and qik. Of course have nova and need for speed also.
Oh also have car home froze..

Maybe jumping the gun here but I tried to let mine go as long as it could without resetting it. I kept tabs on it and it was running awesome the entire time (#33 CM7).
Last time I noticed my phone on was like 17:33:xx hours. I had like 44% battery left. Next thing I know the phone is off. I tried turning it on and a battery icon flashed and turned back off.
What I am thinking is that perhaps the faulty battery driver is telling the phone that the battery is dead and preventing it from booting up. We were talking in another thread and I said something that really makes sense: If the battery driver tells the OS that there is 0% battery then it will just reboot. The battery itself may have a 50% charge left. That would explain the random reboots too (the battery driver telling the phone there is 1% left and cutting power). Maybe a hard reset semi-corrects the problem but eventually resets again due to false information.
My weirdness/powered off occurred right around 18hours. The phone could have just died too.
Almost need a Voltmeter so someone can test the battery (or however it can be tested).

Yes I know the battery driver is part of the problem as can be seen on CM7 builds but what's odd is my time varies so for a long time it would reboot every 17-20 hours, now all of a sudden it goes to 36 hours before it usually reboots. Looking at logs it doesn't appear to throw any major errors before a reboot which implies that it's a a kernel panic or low-level fault. At this point I've given up on trying to find the issue since it's been repeated over and over that T-Mo and LG are releasing an update. Might as well enjoy the phone and wait for that to come out

Amen. Just keep flashing CM nightlies and you'll never worry about it.

[Q] Reboot while sleeping?

My TF started an odd behavior in the last couple of days. For some reason it reboots after it's been asleep for an extended period (maybe an hour or so). Info:
I initially had the sleep screen of death, where it wouldn't wake up from sleep without a hard shutdown and reboot. To fix that, I disabled the lock screen and disabled the screen shut off while idle. I also have the wifi set to off while sleeping. Now, while sleeping after about 30 mins or an hour, it will just reboot. I just happened to look over and catch it rebooting this morning. I did a search about it, no one seems to have reported something like this.
Hopefully 3.1 will fix it.

Having this same issue myself. Never did it before and the only new app I have installed was thumbtype.

im having the same problem, running 3.1. My tab will just randomly reboot when sitting there sleeping, and it just happened twice in a row, within 5 minutes of each other. I haven't had any other problems, nor has it rebooted when not sleeping.
Not sure if I should take it back or not, I'm still within my exchange period.
Oh, and I've also installed thumbtype.. though I have a bunch of other programs installed.

Mine started doing this today too. Running 3.1 with dock. Don't believe I installed any new apps today either.

Honestly I did not notice mine doing this at all until I had installed 3.1, granted I only had it for about 4 days prior to 3.1 coming out..
Hrm!

Mine just did it tonight for the first time ever, undocked, running leaked 3.1. Scared the crap out of me too, as I was sitting in a dark room and it just sprang to life, lol.

Add me to the list. Started happening right after 3.1 Primordial. However...I had installed Multiple Live Wallpaper immediately following the update, which was not appearing in my app drawer, but I could open it from the Market. I removed that, and can't say that I have seen the issue since.

so i'm guessing it has to do with 3.1?

I would think so cuz it has already done that twice since installing the leaked HC 3.1

Had mine for a week. I love it but: it updated to 3.1 pretty well straight away and now some days it will go into a sleep reboot loop. The evidence is clear in the ramdump.log files which are, I guess, generated each time this happens. it will reboot every 3 or 4 minutes.
I did a factory reset. It still happens so I don't think it is related to any particular app. I need to know if there is a solution. Is this 3.1 related and likely to be fixed in 3.2? Do I have a faulty unit?
