Hey there,
Im facing a really frustrating issue with my sensation.
it keeps shutting down randomly! I can reproduce it while:
entering and playing a game for 2-3 minute, than it shuts down
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN THE DEVICE IS CHARGING
i tried several roms, 3 different kernel,
and still...nothing!
anyone can suggest me what else to check before i'll SMASH it on the floor?
thanks.

Hi,
It sounds like it might be a battery problem.
Do you have access to another one?

hi
ordered one from e-bay 3 weeks ago. still waiting for it.
really hope it's battery issue.
forgot to mention, after phone is shutting down with battery 90+, I turn it on and get battery around 10%. needs to restart it correctly again to get the correct percentage of the battery...
Hi,
I have the same problem. Did you fix it ?

I have the same problem too, any news please ?
Try this:
[FIX] Random reboots/shutdowns. Pictures added!
From the posts. It does seemed its a battery issue. It happens to my last device. But do give feedback after the new battery arrives.

Hey everyone!
My problem with random shut-downs on the captivate became unbearable, and I kept searching through threads for a solution, and I finally found this:
http://uk.androlib.com/android.application.org-bluesteel-cka-qxnim.aspx
This app doesn't let your CPU completely turn off when on standby.
I used it for a whole day and no shut-downs.
Usually, I'd get at LEAST 3 shutdowns a day.
I hope this helped you all.
What have you done to be getting random shutdowns? I've flashed multiple roms and used modded framework files and still I never get a random shutdown.

Not bad. Wouldn't you want to have the convenience of NOT worrying about random shut downs (with or without) the app tho? I guess its just me, but those things would really irk me. lol

It's just pure luck. Some phones will randomly shutdown regardless what ROM you use. Some don't.
The only true solution so far is get a warranty replacement, or maybe couple replacements (the refurbs you get back may still suffer the same problem). Samsung itself has no clue what's the cause of it yet last time I checked.

CKA is a possible solution for one of the anomalies that causes shutdowns. For additional information, use the forum's "Search" function and look for "Captivate Keep Alive."
i just starting to get shutdown once a day started 4 days ago. i trying to uninstall 1 app at a time to see what happen. just uninstall dolphin browser v4.0.

Really? Well, this worked for me, and I had it pretty bad with those random shutdowns (even happened to me on stock 2.1 before flashing).
I think some people might be getting random shutdowns due to certain apps.
I 2nd that. I installed Keep Alive because my would shut down once a day after full charge but only if GPS is on. Mine doesn't shut down if GPS is off. Now it's been 3 days without any shut down and I leave GPS on continuously.
my phone shut down (1 time) daily, and i'm unable to reproduce the shutdown. maybe it' a memory leaks, it shuts down when it runs out of ram. going to reboot my phone (1 time) daily to see what happens...

I concur, I never had any shutdowns until I went to cog 7... And for the first week I didn't have any shutdowns, only after installing apps did this problem start. So I think you are correct that out has something to do with certain apps. Probably an app that is not fully compatable with android 2.2... I just wish I could figure out which app is causing this issue.

My phone keeps shutting off also. At first thought it was software, but even with a clean install of 2.1 with Odin and nothing added to it, it still did it. Then I thought it was the SD card, but still not it. I started noticing a pattern with it doing fine for 11-16 hours with a full charge depending on how much I used it, but it eventually shuts off. Every time I turned it back on, the battery is at <65%. I completely drained the battery last night and charged it back up and now it's doing it at 70%.
Anyone in this thread that has had at least 1 random shut down, or more, should look into a warranty replacement. A perfectly good working phone shouldn't shut down for the hell of it or because it "runs out of memory"
I went through this before and messed with the phone for a few days taking off apps, re-flashing etc... ultimately the problem went away when I simply just asked for a replacement unit.
Hi team,
First post so be kind.
I did post this on an andriod forum and someone suggested I come here.
I've had a HTC Sensation for a while, since first released. After around 2 weeks of getting it I was experiencing an issue with the screen not being very responsive. Difficult to unlock, text, answer calls! It's sooo annoying. Luckily I had my phone swap not problem by Vodafone. Now it's been around 4 weeks now since getting my replacement and just yesterday I've started with the same f-ing problem!
I've tried the usual stuff, clean screen, clear cache, kill programs, remove battery.
Anyone else having problems like this?
I can't bloody answer calls !

And that's only a few using search.....
My advice, discharge till it dies, put it on charge from USB port, don't touch it till it's fully charged. Might fix it.
Oh, btw, welcome to XDA.
I noticed the same problems. I am getting the same issue i had on my Droid Incredible where if i am not holding the device and its on a table, i cant seem to unlock it. I've been draining the battery down to 2% or less before recharging it each night i've had the phone and nothing has changed relating to this issue. I think it's just something that if a lot of people complain about, HTC will try to make some software changes in an update to address the issue somehow.
Excellent thanks. Can't stand this thing for much longer!!
The last month or so I have a problem with my phone rebooting constantly when the CPU gets stressed when cold. I am barely able to make a call after I have been outside for a while, and I'll have to wait for it to get warm again.
I have tried several different ROM's and several different Kernels, but the problem persists.
BTW: This is not "extreme" temperatures, it's around -5*C to +3*C. This is what I find really weird, because I didn't have this problem earlier this winter (when -20*C is normal.)
Any suggestions on what could be causing the problem?
Thanks.

Possibly moisture inside the phone which is condensating once it gets warm?!
Stick it on top of a radiator for a few hours and also get it a case - that's the best advice I can offer!
Hope this helps

Hi, I have been looking all over the internet and search the xda thread but I couldn't find anything related to my problem.
So this morning when I wake up, I turned on my phone and after I used it for awhile suddenly my phone stopped working (freeze/hang) and started to reboot itself. After it reboots my phone's screen as per attached below.
The problem lasted for a day and started to driving me nuts!
Anyone experienced same problem?
I am running KK4.4.2 fyki.
Thank you very much for your kind help!
are you unlocked, rooted, custom recovery, rom, kernel, anything? can you access the bootloader?

Nope, I am all stock without any modification nor and fancy stuffs.
Just pure android 4.4.2
I am thinking that the hardware might be faulty..

If you're stock, it could be hardware. Though have you ever attempted to root?
Is it just randomly happening?
Definitely hardware

Yes, it just randomly happening. It started yesterday morning until now..
The phone started to not responding at all and then my screen goes broken (same screen as broken TV I might say).
If I let it cool for 15-20 minutes the phone is usable, but then after 1 hour of normal usage the phone started to freeze again.
Just curious, none of you experienced the same?
this kinda looks like the static i was getting on screen on my n7 2012 when i let the battery get too low. charging it up and a few reboots fixed it. but im not sure if that's what is going on with yours

I just got mine, 32gb from the playstore, a few days ago, and nothing like that.
If it's happening when your device is hot | overheating, you may wana see if you get it replaced.
It happened to me once. The phone was with his screen off and when I try to turn it on that exact same screen came. But it just happened once, also I experienced random poweroffs and reboots. I did a factory reset and power off issues and freeze stops, but had one reboot once I start installing my apps. I think its a software issue but I'm not sure.

I'm glad (and kinda of sad) to know that I'm not the only one with this issue.
The problem started about two weeks after I bought mine(Telus). It's done this about 5 or 6 times,randomly.
I found that having someone call me will "unfreeze" the device and the screen gets back to normal.
The first couple times it happened, I was running stock 4.4.2. I since rooted it and installed Xpposed/GravityBox and I'm still getting the problem...
I think that I'll have to return it...
Idk if i need RMA the phone. Its a great phone and the reboot issues has stopped. What should i do?

Hi, I have the exact same problem, I posted a video on youtube /watch?v=m0EkC_ak01g but I got to the same conclusion that it might be a GPU issue. So there is nothing I can do right?, the worst thing is Im in Argentina and LG dont take my warranty because I bought it in Germany. So there is absolutely nothing I can do?, I know how to avoid the flickering a little bit, when I hit "Ok Google" button it seems responsive and as long as I touch the screen it works (you can see it in the video) but as soon as I stop touching it, after 2-3 seconds it becomes unresponsive again, and when I say unresponsive Im saying the screen doesnt reflect what Im doing, I can still push the buttons and all. So Im not 100% sure its a GPU issue, but a software too. Thanks.

Hi everyone, my Note 2 shuts down when the temperature is moderately low (under 15 °C / 60 °F)
I thought it were a battery problem, since I still used the 2013 one with which the phone was originally shipped.
But buying a new one didn't solve the problem.
I tried swapping batteries with my girlfriend (who has the same model of phone, without the shut-down problem) but this didn't work too (regardless which battery I use, my phone shuts down, hers not) -- unfortunately I thought of swapping the batteries only after buying the new one...
So I thought it could be some sw problem and flashed a new ROM (crDroid 7.1.2)
I'm very pleased since this is much better than the stock ROM I had before, but the shut-down-in-low-temp problem still rears its ugly head (maybe a bit mitigated).
E.g. today I went skiing and carried the phone in the breast pocket of my jacket. Outside temp was about 2-5 °C, so it wasn't really cold, but the phone shut down.
When I tried to power it on, it wouldn't until I carried it home and put it on recharge.
After a few minutes of recharge, I could power it on and the battery was at 98%...
Any ideas of what the problem could be? Something hw?
If nothing else works, I theoretically could take off the display and digitizer of my phone and connect it to a third Note 2 (which display was broken by my girlfriend some time ago, otherwise it works fine), but I hope there is some simpler solution because I've never done something like that...
Thank you for your help!

No, therefore I was asking.
Did you move my question here?
I posted it in the Note 2 forum, wouldn't it be more IT there?
Thank you!
