Hye guys. So I just finished flashing Zeus and Infusion last night. It went without a hitch, and when I went to bed last night everything was working perfectly. But when I woke up this morning, my phone wouldn't turn on. I assumed it had run out of battery, so I plugged it in, but when I did, it made the battery charging sound. I unplugged it, and it made the uncharging sound. When I press the menu and home buttons, it vibrates. I think it's on, but for some reason the screen won't turn on. Help? Thanks.

Its called an SOD( Screen of Death). Do a search and you will find plenty of info on this subject.

isn't SOD sleep of death?
i thought when SOD occurs the phone turns completely off... at least that's what i understood SOD to be...
for example
when i was testing undervolting if i would undervolt too much my phone would turn off.. SOD.. i dunno

sleep screen same thing. And from my Experience with them the phone does not shut off completely every thing works except the screen. That's why he's able to here the sounds. When I used to get them the only way I knew it happens most of the time is when I revived a call. The phone would ring and ring (which it could not do if it was off) and I could not answer because of the SOD issue. As I said it's a known issue read up and you will find an answer.

If it's an SOD, you should be able to hold down the power button until the phone reboots. That's been my experience with 3 different ROMs.

Yep. The reboot is the only way to temporally get your phone working again.

Well i'm currently running CM7 RC2 with the Netarchy 1.3.0.0 kernel. I'm constantly having my phone overheat and reboot on me in the middle of the night. Overheating typically only happens while charging, but when it does i have seen my phone get up to 102 to 107 F. I had my alarm set for this morning, when i woke up my phone had a completely black screen with the buttons lit up, and the phone was very hot. So i had to do a battery pull, after i pull the battery it boots up normally and starts to cool down. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Thanks in advance. Plus i have found that my phone still reboots, sometimes it will randomly reboot when i'm not doing anything and it will show my boot animation but it's not full color, and slightly dimmed. And the only way to boot normally is to do a battery pull. This same problem has happened on my wife's Nexus S. I have her set up with the same kernel and rom i'm running.
Just a question. Do you have the main settings set on boot?
I had exactly the same happen last night with CM7 RC2 and Netarchy 1.3.0.1. The phone was really hot and I was worried it had been damaged being stuck like that for so long. It seems fine now though.
What do you mean? im not using setcpu, and my phone is not OC'd. @phillevy mine has been doing this everyday it seems like, when it gets that hot it really worries me too.
Are you using the phone to tether?
Nope i don't use tethering at all, i'm constantly connected to wifi at home.
This is the first time I've had this happen where the phone as overheated like this, although I've had a few reboots to the dimmed cyanogen bootscreen. I'm using setcpu and have a screen off profile of 100-800mhz.
Looks like I am going to try rc3 and see if these issues still persist.

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?

Rooted my g2x and flashed cm7 nightly build.
Worked perfectly and charged phone over night to see the phone does not start up at all. No charging screen. Totally dead. Suggestions?

pull the battery
The same thing happens to me. Pull the battery and reboot. To prevent it from happening while on the charger go to settings> applications> development and select "stay awake". This will prevent the phone from going into the "sleep of death" while on the charger. You can still shut the screen off manually.
Happened to me for the first time last night since getting the phone on 4/20. Had to pull the battery; since, everything has been fine.
Got it replaced at t mobile store they could not turn it on either. Lets see how this one works out.

So today I woke up and tried to turn on my phone after a good night's charging. I held onto the power button for at least 5 minutes and nothing. I did it again and the phone displayed the boot image for like five seconds and then turned off again. As I am typing this my phone's power button has been taped for about an hour (couldn't find an answer that worked online).
My phone is the G2x. I didn't think that I needed to post it in the G2x forums because I thought the phone model was kind of irrelevant. My phone is rooted and I was running the HellFire Phoenix rom, a CM7 based rom. I had the ICE9 theme on before it was broken, though I don't think thats the problem because its just a theme. I have also flashed a custom kernel called Trinity Kernel. I also used the SetCPU app to UV/OC my phone. At the time, my phone was clocked at like 800 mHz and 216 when the screen was off. 216 seems a little low but on all the other roms I've had (more demanding roms that CM7) I never had any problems.
Can somebody PLEASE help me. Hopefully I didn't brick my phone, though I don't know how I could have. I was always safe when flashing and never did anything "wrong" like flashing something for another phone.
Oh and this is my first post.
Try to re flash a fresh firmware..

Hello fellow XDA members.
I've been with my beloved Nexus S for a little over a year now. We've been through thick and thin. Until now.
My power button is broken (along with a lot of other nexus s users that I found out by research), but I was able to bare with it by maneuvers with my software (volume rocker wake). It would act as if it's being pressed down constantly, so it would automatically power on when a battery is inserted.
However, this situation is different. I've done research on this one too, and it also seems common. While using my phone as normal (around 20% battery), the screen just turned black and the phone crashed. Seemed like a common kernel issue. So I battery pull, and the phone won't power on.The charging animation still appears if I connect it to a charger or USB.
As I woke up for work the next morning, I brought my phone along with me. It turned on at a random time while it was in my hand, as it would always do if I were to insert a battery. The phone worked for about a week until the same problem happened again.
I've tried rebooting it with ADB, but it's not recognized. I've tried inserting the battery while it's connected to the charger. Nope. Simultaneous button presses, pounding the power button, you name it. I've also tried a different battery, so I know it's not a battery issue.
I have suspicion it has to due with Jellybean, as several other users experience a problem similar to mine, but much more severe (no charging animation).
I'm running Pacman Rom v 18 with Marmite 7.0 Kernel.
Please, for the love of the Lord, can someone please aid me in finding a solution or inform me of a known one?
Thanks!
Please anybody? I really need a solution ASAP! Thanks again!
I'm sorry for the excessive bumping, but I'm just extremely desperate at this point. I cannot afford to go another day without my phone as I'm losing too much business. Does anyone know a solution or anything to try?
When its on the charger does the screen show that it is charging? Or is it just a blank screen and you "assume" that it is charging ?
Could be the kernal, have you flashed another rom ?

Yes, it shows the charging animation, so there's life.
I think its the kernel and the rom combo. But the fact is that I can't even access the phone right now. Any solutions? And my power button is broken.
Hmm so there is no way to access recovery?

There was no way. But the phone turned back on by itself last morning again. I instantly changed my ROM to RasbeanJelly and Matr1x 24.5 CFS. Let's see if the problem comes back.
Thanks anyway, and ill post back here for updates!
