Phone turns off when I try to unlock?

I'm running GingerBeast right now and everyone once in a while(once or twice a day, some days it won't happen) when I hit the power button to get to the unlock screen, I'll see the softkeys light up for a second and then my phone turns off. I have to hit the power button again for my phone to boot up. I was using CM7 before I changed to GingerBeast and the same thing was happening. I've also tried different radios with and there was no difference.
Could this be a bad root? Should I delete everything and try again or what?

Wont help I get the same thing sometimes. Its weird, I think its a sequence that causes It. I noticed the last two times I was walking and holding it and swinging my arms. It vibrates sometimes when I do this and if I hit the wake button right after its reboots.

Have you tried any other ROMs before?

this happens to me sometimes on MIUI

Did any of u restore any system data or any apps + data using TiBu after u flashed whatever ROM u r using?
I would recommend flashing ROM CLEAN from scratch, and not restoring ANY info using TiBu, and using it for a day and see if the issue resurfaces.

yes diablo has a good point. Also, what is your setcpu set to on boot? This could cause instability if you clock high on boot.

On my girlfriends phone I have noticed this too. Always thought it had something to do with the undervolt and waking up.

The Tom doesn't matter. I have cleaned the mofo completely.. installed stock....no tibu... it's the phone.

Lol..yeah... phone + at a music show = retarded corrections.

I've noticed it almost never happens when I'm just sitting at home. I think it usually happens after I pull it out of my pocket and hit the wake button

this happened to me when i had a lockscreen widget installed i uninstalled and its fine now. dont know if your using a lockscreen widget or not but thats what was screwing mine up

Correct me if I'm wrong, but let go of the power only after splash screen, continue holding volume rockers.

[Q] Phone starts vibrating and reboots

Need some help here...been running AOKP unofficial just fine for a while then all of a sudden my phone starts acting crazy and the flash will go off and then start vibrating and try to reboot, then it kinda gets stuck in a mini boot loop. I have to hold down the power button to get it to fully reboot properly. So i thought it might be a bad app. I uninstalled some apps and it kept doing it. So I wiped and installed the latest AOKP unofficial rom. it did it a couple of times even with no apps on the phone. One thing ive also notice is when I push the power button to sleep/lock, It comes right back on to the lockscreen...Thoughts?

Power button, it's in the beginning stages of being totally stuck

i THINK I got it fixed...i took it apart and cleaned it best i could...Thx for the help!

My Old Skyrocket I'm letting my son use, is rebooting also. I notice if i barely touch the power button, it wants to go black, or even prompts to reboot. Extremely sensitive. I'll give this a go within the next few days and hopefully this will get him back in business.

[Resolved] pressing home button immediately after screen shuts off

I thought I read about this yesterday while reading up on which apps to install when flashing CleanROM 6.0 R2, but I can't seem to find it now.
I have to reopen the app I'm using if I let the screen shut off (time out) and I immediately press the Home button to wake the screen up. If I wait a little bit first, I'll have to swipe the lock screen first and the app is up and running. This is very frustrating. I just got the phone on Monday, so I don't have enough experience with the stock firmware to know if it's specific with the rom I'm using or if it does it on stock too.
Thanks for the help.

Power Button/Download mode issues.

I've been having a few problems lately. Ever since the 4.3 update, my power button is REALLY sensitive. I can barely tap it and it will bring up the power menu. Sometimes hitting the power button doesn't work. I don't think it is a hardware problem as I've disassembled the s3 and the logic board and power switch are fine.
Part two:
I thought this and the battery drain/charging issues I've been having may have been due to a bad OTA so I attempted to boot to download and reflash the rom with ODIN.
Herein lies the problem. When I boot to download mode (which is almost impossible because of the power button problems) it will sit there for a moment then reboot. To clarify, I can get into download mode where it tells me how many times I've tripped the flash counter, etc. After that it reboots. Also when it does reboot, sometimes it loops, again I assume this is due to the power button issues.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you try factory reset to see if it at least fix your button issue?

Yes. That was the first thing I tried.

Download "rebooter" from the market (red circle icon), open this app and it give you an option to boot to bootloader/recovery, see if you phone still reboot without touching your power button.

Tried that. Same result.

Are you sure your battery is fully charged? If not plug in your phone leave over night and try again.

This has been going on for a month. I've had plenty of full batteries bro lol

OK, then you should call Verizon and get another one. I think something is wrong with your hardware. Sorry.

I just had the same problem, then the next day it stopped working altogether. I just paid, yesterday as a matter a fact, 30 bucks to have my power button replaced. So far, so go! Just find a reputable cell phone repair company in your area.

I know what your talking about and it's only happened to me after updating to 4.3 OTA.
The power/phone options menu I'm talking about is the power button long press.
Well, this comes up without touching the button. It's like it's some kind of static, because it'll do it several times in a row while randomly shutting off the screen, etc.
Very frustrating.

It might not be a 4.3 problem but a physical problem. This is a extreme case but your phones might be on there way. If you are having the same problem as this thread the fix should work for you. The reason I don't think its the update is because it doesn't happen to me.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611166

Just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen to others. Come on.
I'm having a similar issue and it didn't start until I updated.
