VOX Getting shut down automatically

Hi,
My VOX sometimes gets shutdown automatically. It happens at least once in two days. And whenever it shutsdown, I can feel that the handset has become slightly hot. I need to remove the battery and put it back to turn on the phone again.
But one strange thing I noticed is that, if the bluetooth was on when the phone went down, I can see the bluelight blinking even when the phone seems to be shutdown.
Do you guys know what could be causing this?
My Radio Version is 4..13.41_02.88.90 and OS is 5.2.1236 (Build 17741.0.2.1)
Thanks pals!

Sounds like it's over-heating possibly? If the BT LED is blinking blue, then the device is still on, I think you have some software that is either causing it to run at full load or causing a soft reset.

hum, maybe this has something to do with the problem already reported in some posts of some VOX's
the screen goes black, but the phone remains on
normaly if you wait a couple of seconds, and try to mess with the phone again, it will be alright,
sometimes i even have to remove the battery
some say the problem could be overheating as u say, but until now, i havent found any solution for this, i also am facing the same problem

Same problem for me when turning on the Wifi, but the phone turns off completly and the battery showing empty after turning the phone on, I have to remove the battery each time!
But when it's connected, my phone runs perfectly.
Maybe I have to change my battery, no?

I don't think in my case the phone is on (except for BT light blinking). Otherwise it should be in a big hung state where it is not able to respond to keyboards, power key or any interface at all.
Next time I encounter this problem, I will try calling my own number to see whether the radio is on.
I have been using this vox since last 8 months, but in the last couple of months I have encountered quite a lot of problems like radio repeatedly getting turned off, first call after restart hanging (not consistent but happens most of the time I restart the phone and try to make calls with in the first 20 seconds after bootup) etc.
Do you think an upgrade 6.1 would do any good?
Thanks again!!

I was having that problem too. I tried upgrading to WM6.1 and upgrading the radio, nothing worked. I sent it in and they replaced the mainboard, but now it seems to be worse. I just got it back though, so I haven't called them about it yet. I'm just looking around to see if it could be a battery issue.

My phone restart issue was mainly a hardware or loose contact issue. Once the phone fell down and after that whenever there was a long press on 0, * or # keys, the phone would restart.
After two days my phone fell down once again from my hand and this issue got resolved forever. Lucky me!

My S710 HTC original, shut down every day at 00.16. In the past was at 02.46, and I discover it since during my trip in asia I found the phone off.
More over the alarm is not reliable and cannot be used for this reason.
The following application are installed:
- Customisation from HTC for my operator TIM
- microsoft Office mobile upt
- pmCleanSP
- spWZTools
- Skype
- Tom Tom
HTC service told me to flash it with Rom update.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Need help identifing reason for strange and frequent freezes

Hi guys
I have this strange behavior going on in my Sentation.
Out of nowhere my phone started to have strange screen behavior... Didn't light up after pressing the power button (had to phone my self in order to get screen on).
The next thing was that suddenly the screen goes to maximum brightness or goes to minimum without any explanation (tried both auto brightness or manual).
After that I noticed that the screen went off when I was using it but when I pressed the left side of it it lighted up and off again... making me think of some kind of bad contact underneath. As I already had changed a broken touch screen for t3 times, and let the phone fall for several times I thought it had to do with some plug out of line...
I disassembled the phone completely and mounted up back again. The thing is that the phone started to freeze every 5 minutes (screen on but completely freezed. I have to pul out battery). Sometimes it freezes even in the recovery menu. I've tried several rom's with full wipe and not installing anything and its all the same.
Some times I still not that the screen goes off during the freeze but when I touch the left side it goes on again, but that doesn't change the freezed state even that I let down the phone for several minutes.
I disassemble the phone again, tried different back cover and different battery (one stock and other extra strength) I tried also all the suggestion related to the small pin in the back not connecting well with the back cover (adding an aluminium foil, pulling the pin out, etc..)
Nothing seams to resolve anything so I have clearly an hardware problem... but I don't know what to replace or where to look the damage!!!
Can anybody help me please?!

Update
I have an update on my problem:
I noticed that when I leave the phone on top of some kind of metal part and don't touch it it works all day without any problem but, as soon as I start to touch the phone, it freezes within minutes!
Could it be some kind of static electrical problem? How to resolve it?
I would apreciate any help
Thanks

[Q] [SPH-D720] Back light appears to randomly shutoff

Over this past week the back light for my Nexus S 4G appears to randomly shut off. Right now it has happened about 5 times and when I need to use it right then, preventing me from just stopping to investigate what may be causing this. The screen still comes on allowing me to quickly unlock using the pattern and then restart by holding down the power button. The one time I was able to investigate a little I was navigating into the settings menu when the screen just went blank. I pressed the power button a few times and could see the hardware buttons below lighting up as if the screen was on but that was it.
I'm currently running Slim Bean (Android 4.2.1) Beta and will be trying another rom but wanted to see if anyone else may have encountered this issue before I bring it up with that thread.

Yeah experienced this too in most 4.2 ROMs that I've tried. Some people say it's a bug with the auto- brightness settings but I don't buy it since I don't really use auto-brightness but still get the error. I'm back to 4.1.2

Glad to hear. I was becoming worried I had some hardware that was failing.
I will turn auto brightness off and see how it goes.
Thank you

So it has happened quite a bit since my last post. Even with auto-brightness turned off. I'm blaming this bug for my alarm not continuing after I snoozed it a few times. (I know they are unrelated but its just really annoying).
It happened again about ten minutes ago and I managed to output a bug report feature on 4.2.1. Not sure if it is of any use to anyone. Message me if you would like it.

[Q] s5 screen goes black but buttons are lit when hitting power button

While the phone is powered on, randomly the screen will not turn on for me. This has been happening for at least a week yet the only thing I can really recall doing with it is turning off some default apps recommended in another thread here. sometimes the screen goes completely gray as well.
anyone else having this problem? Ive been taking the battery out to resolve it thus far. I'm rooted with 4.4.2 installed (no roms)

Nexus 5 - Sleep of Death? Once going to deep sleep, phone dies.

Hi there,
I have been struggling with a problem the last few days, and have been reading quiet a lot. I got two old Nexus 5 phones, one had a broken screen, the other one had the display glitching problem - related to the flex cable. So I opened them and put a working one together out of both.
So far so good, everything seems to be working, with one exception: Once I press the power button, the screen goes black like its supposed to. If I wait long enough and try to wake the phone, its not responding. The only thing that helps is long-pressing the power button to hard reboot it.
So I did read a lot, about the power button malfunctioning and the batteries dying on the Nexus 5. I ruled out the power button problem and its working like it should. I ordered a new battery, which is not perfect, but has an estimated of 1800 mAh. I monitored the voltage of the battery with different apps, even logging them to see what happens right before the shutdown - but everything seems normal. So this could not be the problem either.
I am currently running the latest LineageOS, but I experienced the same problem running the latest factory image google released for the phone. I even tried different kernels. So I thought, it might not be software related. But since it always happened when the phone starts to enter the deep sleep , I tried to google some about this and found the SOD ( Sleep of Death ) problem for the Nexus 4. Since I was out of ideas, I installed an App called "SOD Killer", which creates a wake lock preventing the device from sleeping. Et voila - the problem is gone.
I could not find discussion on the internet relating to the nexus 5 concerning the sleep mode and the phone dying once it goes to sleep. Am I missing something here? The SOD Killer wake lock solution is a good temporary fix, but I would like to get to the grounds of this.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this strange behavior? Thank you in advance,
joha

What I forgot to mention is that once the phone is connected to a power source, the problem does not appear. That is also the reason why I wont get any logs via adb. ;p
I will try to get some logs with an APP and root once I get home - maybe there is some information about the problem causing this strange behavior.

I managed to get a log while the phone died when it wanted to activate sleep mode. But I am not that good in figuring out what in the log might be pointing in the direction of the failure. Any ideas?
I dont like the
Code:
09-21 12:11:51.977 E/BatteryStatsService( 786): no controller energy info supplied
parts in there. What might be the problem here?
Thank you so much in advance!

Does no one have any idea? I guess its hardware related somehow, when the phone tries to enter deep sleep. Anybody out there that knows, what the phone is actually doing when entering deep sleep which might be causing it to die / become unresponsive? Any idea is highly appreciated - I love that phone.
