Hello all,
Semi-noob here, I've rooted and flashed my phone to the Stable version of Cynogenmod, on Android 4.1.2. I haven't added the Lightning Kernel, only because of a pretty annoying issue: the phone randomly shuts down for no apparent reason. I ran a search and didn't see much about this issue so here goes: doesn't matter what's going on with the phone, it will suddenly (and very randomly) freeze for a moment, then go black, the Samsung logo will appear, it'll vibrate, then kaput.
To turn it back on, I have to do one of 2 things:
-hold the Power button for a LONG time;
-remove battery, reinsert, hold Power button normally.
So what gives? Did I flash something wrong? Should I reflash the ROM? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers!
I'd think it's the screen of death.
But when I look at this more, I think of what the oc, governor and scheduler are.

The stable version is not very stable. Look for the latest nightly, its much better.
For the latest cm 10 10.1 and 10.2 go here http://www.goo.im/devs/cm/t769/nightly
Look closely at the dates to get the right one.

In retrospect, I should have thought of that, thanks! I changed it to Performance from Interactive after reading this last week and since then no shutdowns at all. Hopefully this is the end of that annoying bug. Merci! :good:
Whoops, no sooner had I written that than my phone shutdown again. WTF? Anything in particular I should do to stop this?
Try the latest cm 10 nightly? That is what I'm running on 2 phones with no shutdowns like your describing.

Yeah, I might flash it when I get back to the US, I am on a long-term business trip and last thing I need is to brick the phone while in France!
I've had similar issues with CM10 "stable". I knew the rom was at fault. I haven't tried the nightlies, but that would have been my next guesses too. I've been looking for a daily driver, and despite some hiccups with MIUI, I've been pretty happy with it.

Hey guys, my Nexus started having these weird moments where the screen would freeze and turn a weird sickly green color. I also just experienced a couple of random reboots. This happened on CM7 and OpenSoju...
Is this a hardware issue or did something go wrong with my software? Should I return to stock and start over with rooting and whatnot?
Please help
P.S. I'm still within in my 30 days from Best Buy

First, I should emphasize that my Nexus S is the garden-variety i9020T as used on T-Mobile, so it's not the same as yous. I never tried OpenSoju but I did try CM7 several times, both the stable 7.0x releases and the nightlies, and had very little luck with it, with symptoms similar to yours. The worst thing that happened a few times was finding that the phone apparently rebooted in the middle of the night and got stuck in the dreaded boot loop - a dim frozen Cyanogen boot logo showing on the screen and feeling hot to the touch.
I'm now on Jonathon Grigg's Infin1ty ROM and it's been very stable for me. I see that it's not one of the available ROMs for your 4g http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071500 but there are some deodexed stock ROMs you can try. See if they get you stable, and then you can try some of the more bleeding-edge ROMs later. The 4G is a very new phone so there isn't too much available for it yet.
Yeah is probably the roms I haven't rooted my nexus s 4Gbut I got stock and I don't have any problems at all

I bet you are running out of ram. Been running cm7 on mine since the first build for it and it is smooth as butter.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.
Responding to the quoted one in particular, I don't know how I'd run out of RAM really, I'm only using the same number of apps as I did on my EVO and I didn't have problems with RAM ever. Is it just because of the ROM?
As for using rooted stock ROMs, I would but I -really- love Facebook sync to the point that I almost don't wanna go without it.
i had this issue once too with the nightlies cm7. its software related i guess.
Seems better now. Using nightly 5

Currently the phone is on CM10, but this would happen on any rom. The phone is frozen with the bottom 4 touch buttons lit up. The only way to fix it is a battery pull and power the phone back on. Not sure what is causing this, but would like to know if anyone has found a fix for this issue yet. Thanks.
Its a known bug in CM10 and probably not a hardware problem. CM10 is still a beta (though a very good one) and quirks like this are expected.
Some versions of cm10 are more stable than others. Ive been using the 8 - 14 build and it has a minimal amount of freezing like this.

Thank god
My phone has the same issue, I thought it was H/W issue because I accidentaly dropped my phone very often. Glad to know it's just a rom bug, or I'll have to buy myself a new phone.
It was happening on stock ics also though. Did you guys see that on stock also?
Set your min cpu to 384Mhz, That fixed mine for sure.

I've been dealing with random reboots now for a long time. With all this "stable" talk for JB roms I'm starting to wonder if it is just my phone.
I have ran many roms:
Slim Bean
All paranoid aspects of JB
CM10
sky JB
brickbeatz
Every single one the same. Multiple reboots or SOD's everyday at least 2 or 3. And if I'm using the phone extensively this amount could double maybe even triple. Is this normal? Is this something that other people are experiencing?
I have followed all install instructions including changing recoveries if requested by the install (big fan of TWRP but a lot of roms swear by sk8t's CWM)
I have odin'd back to uclf6 took the ota - formatted internal and external SD and is still happening no matter what rom I use.
When I was on ICS for a little I dig get a notification from time to time saying something to the extent of "battery disconnected" or "battery temp too high" and this is what made me start thinking that maybe this is a phone issue.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? This is my second Skyrocket. First was replaced by warranty because it started just rebooting consistently (may have been a stuck button, but I didn't worry about it).
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. I do search, and I have tried pretty much everything I have found. Now I'm just frustrated looking for help.
Reboots are not normal with any of the roms you've tried. I've tried a number of roms and haven't experienced any reboots. Sounds like a hardware issue, but others may have different advice.

I've had 2 soft reboots since reinstalling Slim 3.1 (from stock ICS), but that's it. Some ROMs I've tried in the past seemed to have them more often than others, but I haven't been able to nail down exactly why that happens.
Most of them these days are fairly solid and shouldn't be rebooting, especially not as often as you are experiencing. Have you installed a custom kernel? Are you OC/UV? Do you have BBS installed to see if something is preventing deep sleep?

Two soft reboots are not bad, but the amount that I have had is way moer than that. I know that some roms are going to be different than others thats why I tried multiple to see.
I don't have better battery stats installed because battery loss isn't really my issue. I have decent battery life (other than the fact that the SOD's and reboots seem to kill 7-10 percent every time they happen. I also never oc/uv always leave stock..
Would BBS tell me what is causing the reboots?
Thanks for both of your inputs.
You had some high battery temp issues. Is your device still running hot? That would cause a reboot. Liquidzoo, you had hot battery issue, could this be similar to what you where experiencing?

The high battery temp issues came about right after I odin'd, but that was telling me these things in which I'm not sure that CM10 has a pop up for notification on these things.
It doesn't but how does the device feel? Does it feel hot. If it gets too hot the phone will shut itself down and reboot

Yes the device feels abnormally hot all the time
That's most likely why it's rebooting. Now all we have to do is figure out why it's hot. Liquid zoo had similar issues and I think he brought it all the way back to stock to remove some wake locks.
Liquidzoo , any thoughts?

My guess is the temperature is causing the reboots.
Install Better Battery Stats and look at the CPU States. It could very well be that something is preventing deep sleep, which in turn would cause heat and heat would cause shutdown.

I experienced the same thing with my SR. I called up AT&T customer care and told them that this was unacceptable. After a while they sent me a new SGS III. It is most commonly a HW issue, which is what I was experiencing. I explained that to them, and that is what lead them to send me the GS III
Cool deal, pun intended

The problem is I work in the call center atmosphere and I just can't bring myself to call in and be an asshole. It is unacceptable and I definitely should call them to talk to them about it, but I doubt I will get as far as you. I will also post some BBS dump after it has time to gather some information.
Thank you again for all your feedback
I took out my 32 GB SD card and haven't had a reboot or SOD since. I'm wondering if maybe this was part of the issue. Is it possible that it could be part of the issue?

Man, that's weird. No idea why that would make a difference. Was there anything on the card that could have caused the problem?

It's possible that the card had something to do with it, especially if it had errors or corruption.

After I pulled from the charger this morning I got 3 reboots/sods. Put my card back in and haven't had anymore since then. Which means the card has nothing to do with the situation. Still at a loss. Hmph.

So my Blaze is having some catastrophic problems. It started out the other day by turning off and then vibrating like crazy in my pocket in the same way it would of you were holding the power key down, and it wouldn't stop. I pulled the battery, replaced it and it immediately started vibrating and wouldn't stop as if the power button were stuck in.
Long story short I took my phone apart and removed the plastic button and can get it to boot and stay on for a while. It still craps out sometimes, but I've had it on for a couple hours now with out the plastic part of the power button. I can still hit the button with a pen, BUT here lies my problem...
If I so much as look at the power button funny, it decides that it wants to get stuck down and won't go back up. The actual moving part doesn't get stuck, I think it's electrical.
So if anyone has any clever ideas on how to fix this, I won't have the money for a new phone for a couple weeks and it will make my life very happy to be able to make this one usable
It works sort of if I never have to press the power key, and I remember using a ROM that had the volume locker wake option, but for the life of me I can't remember which one it is. So if someone could help me out there too, that'd be great

Gosh I'm kinda flash crazy, I believe I was on the most recent version of Paranoid Android with whatever version of LZ Kernel comes with it. I originally thought it may be a ROM / Kernel issue so I flashed CM10, and it was still broken.
I don't actually think my problem is a software (ROM or kernel) problem. If it's stuck resetting and I pull and replace the battery, it starts to boot without me touching the button. That means the problem is occurring before any of the software even loads.
I'm pretty certain it's a problem with the button. If I so much as touch it, it acts like it's stuck depressed. I think it may also be heat related, so maybe the ROM or kernel may have caused some overhearing that damages the hardware, but I don't know. It was definitely super hot when it first started.
Hope that helps you!
And if any devs or anyone has any idea about this.. That'd be great

Hey guys I have been having a pretty serious issue the last couple of days. Was running a CM 10 teamchopsticks nightly from a few weeks ago, which worked perfectly up until three days ago. Then it started crashing randomly, the screen would go black and it would vibrate every few seconds, a battery pull would fix it. I updated the phone to the latest nightly, and now I can't run the phone for 5 minutes without the same type of crash. When I battery pulled and tried to turn on the phone, it would immediately crash about 4/5 of the time. This bug is rendering my phone unusable. Not sure whether this is a Rom issue or something else, thanks in advance.
Not sure what kernel I am running.
Hearing it may be a hardware issue, anyone agree?
Could be, try to odin stock jb or ics. If you still have the problem then it's probably hardware. Unfortunately the rocket is getting old. I'm having some old age problems with mine too. Mostly stuck power button.

I don't Think you have it. Take your battery out and then put it back in. If it boots at that point then that's a sign that you probably do. Or if you try to try to power off you phone but it reboots then that's another sign
