I never had restarting issues don't think it was what most of you guys going through this the first time it's happened. When it restarted all stock Widgets are back on the screen all firmware still the same runs a bit smoother don't really know what they changed anyone has a clue??????
Did it factory reset on you? All your apps still there?
I call it the G2x lottery, every time the phone reboots or I turn it off and back on, there's a chance it'll factory reset itself! I've actually been going on a month now with no random factory reset *fingers crossed*
Yea all my apps still here still logged in Google account just the original Widgets even the tip widget is restored seems a lil bit smoother.

I know exactly what your talking about. I had to go through 2 other G2x'z before I got one that did not play opossum (freeze). But either Tuesday or Wednesday I heard the start up intro going off. Full battery. Then it happened today. Im sure it's an issue, but it's a different one than the others. Reason why I say different is that the others I had to remove the battery rinse and repeat when needed. With this issue, I simply have a Ghost reboot. I'll keep searching...
They don't call em Smart-phones for nothing.
I'm pretty used to the random reboots now. This is my 3rd G2x and it reboots the least. Once or twice a day. Actually Just rebooted 5 minutes ago sitting on the nightstand. Was hoping to see an update that would kill these random reboots but at this point, the terrible battery life and poor sound quality helped me decide that there won't be a 4th try.
Hi, I have searched all over this forum and Google, and tried every solution on offer, but to no avail. My last resort before condemning the phone is to see if anyone has any bright ideas.
Basically every time I flash a new ROM the phone is fine for a couple of days, then it starts switching off randomly this gets more frequent over the next couple of weeks, until it becomes unusable. I have tried different Sim cards, different sd cards, no sd card at all. Complete wipe of everything including sd card. Running with no apps and everything stock except signing into Google. I have tried sense roms and non sense based roms on ginger bread and ics. Everything works fine except for this problem. I feel it's not a hardwear problem due to it being ok for a few days after new flash.
My current ROM is the stock ruu, which is on its way to getting bad again after flashing it last weekend. I received the small update to the settings today which added the missing 3rd party app option, it hasn't switched off since then, but then it had only been a few hours, I am not hopeful!
I haven't tried a new battery as the battery life seems fine, and it turns off sometimes when sat on the desk, so not a loose connection or anything also the way it gets worse in time after a fresh install. Have tried the setting network to gsm only and other network options, but no luck.
I really hope someone can suggest something as I love this phone, but it is pretty useless to me, I use it for phone calls at work a lot and as it is have no idea if it is off or on in my pocket.
Cheers in advance for any help

Oh yeah, I bought the phone second hand so a return to get it fixed isn't really an option
Ok when you boot into the Hboot screen does it say S-off or does it still say S-on. If it still says S-on then the previous owner probably used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader and not Revolutionary. If this is the case then click on the link in my signature that says "S-off explained". Maybe this will shed some light on things and maybe it will help you fix your issue. But do not just rule out a hardware issue as bad NAND blocks can cause this same issue sometimes.
Hi, i had the same problem and bought a new battery. Since the battery change everything is working and had no rnd turn off since then.
Cheers for the replies.
I got S-OFF on the phone, as far as I remember via revolutionary. It says Pyramid pvt ship s-off rl. With locked at the top, as far as I can tell from reading this is normal?
I really hope its not something inside the phone that I can do nothing about, would be an expensive mess for me to find myself in!
I will try ordering an ankar battery, they seem cheap, and worth it any way, if it solves my problem, then even better.
Cheers for both your replies, I will continue the hunt.
i have the same problem...but when i torn on the phone the battery are drasticaly down!
i have a S-ON Sensation with stock Gingerbread

I've got a similar problem, I'm S-ON, ICS Vodafone but it was happening before the update too.
It seems much more likely to happen for me when on lower battery levels, and something like the camera flash firing will often turn it straight off.
As mentioned above when it comes back on the battery level is way down on what it was/should be. It also seems more likely to occur after it's happened once in a day and sometimes I'll only get halfway through unlocking the phone before it turns straight off again.
It never happens while charging - pulling the battery and reinserting it after a restart seems to make it more reliable and makes the correct battery level come back up.
Seems to me like it may be a battery issue but as I'm having some other issues too I'm sending it back to HTC and going to see what they say/do, if I get it back and still have problems I'll buy an Anker.
Its a battery problem guys. Glad Im not the only one.
See my problems here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604924
But after some scouting around its a battery fault. Cant wait to order a new batt this week. Phone is driving me crazy
I got my new battery yesterday. So we shall see how it goes. Only time will tell. It will be nice to get a bit more out of the battery as a bonus. Fingers crossed, I shall keep people posted for future reference.

id u try to calibrate ur battery after flashing the new rom.?
Try the calibration charge ur phone for 5 H's continous without intrabtion even it shows u that it's full charged donot unblog it from charging cost green lite is fake after that do battery status wipe from battery calibration application from market then use ur mobile till 0% then do full charge again like 1st time after 3to4time you'll see the deffrence thanks to mike1986 for helping
hit thanks If u like it ..

I had this problem but came to the conclusion that it was the SIM rather than the battery - ran the phone for a day or two without a SIM and it never shut down, then when I reinserted the SIM (and took more care to ensure it was correctly inserted) I haven't had the problem since.
Might be worth looking at?

so how i agree with u , coz i tried this 1 when my phone was shutting down 10 time an hour and it didn't shut down but the battery drain still there until i did the battery calibration thing & it's ok now..
yeah I don't think the power off thing has anything to do with battery drain, but often the battery readout will stabilise after a few charges and discharges - after resetting battery stats the readout can often be a bit erratic.
It might be.right.. but he Still have a battery drain issue he must calibrate the battery. Tucker to hit thanks

Will try the sim thing, but my battery is comletely goosed.
Tells me I have 40% and then shuts down. Restart and its saying empty
hey for those of you using ICS Rom's make sure you have updated your Firmware/Bootloader to the newest version. I was having the same problem with my phone for the last week. Would randomly shut off even if battery was 60 percent and then start into bootloop with random battery percentages shown. Someone on the Insertcoin Sense 4 thread suggested I update my Bootloader and it seems to have fixed my problem.
Link to upgrade firmware is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Make sure you download the latest one (3.32)
UPDATE: Problem hasn't been solved...just took a while for it to return. Not sure what's wrong and I'm really annoyed that I can't figure it out. Kinda disappointed that the new battery hasn't fixed your phone Tombon26, I was just about to go buy a new battery myself. Really hope someone can help with this.
So a new battery hasn't cured the problem. Will try the calibration, although I have done it before, but can't remember if it was before my problems.
I am a bit confused by the upgrading firmware because I have the official HTC ruu on my phone, which I thought was the newest of everything, and haven't rooted the phone since, so I thought this would make the phone as close to stock as possible without s-on.
As far as I can tell my battery doesn't randomly jump down after it switches off. Not sure if this is a good sign or not!
So frustrating the whole thing.
Cheers for peoples contributions

I rarely start a thread and i typically search first and i did that already but couldn't find an answer or someone else with the issue...
So my problem is simple but annoying... When i snap a picture with the stock camera app and flash turned on, randomly my phone shuts off and will NOT turn on again until i do a battery pull... I say randomly because it doesn't always happen... But it happens quite often...
I haven't tried with a 3rd party camera app because I prefer to use stock apps mostly... So I'm not sure if its app related or hardware related... I'm leaning towards hardware because I've had this issue since running 4.1.2 ROMs and I've tried multiple stock/modified camera apps to no avail... Currently on 4.2.1 ROM with of course the 4.2 camera...
Torch toggle works fine, as well as turning on the flash while recording video... This ONLY happens when the flash comes on for taking a photo... And again it only happens randomly...
Anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?

The first thing I would do is flash factory Google. This will rule out it being a ROM issue. If the problem is so there then yes it is a hardware issue.

I've seen that happen with a bad battery once. Would occur more often at low charge percentage too, but was relatively fine at 100%. Took a while to figure out what the heck was going on

Strangely, it was doing it before i got a new battery a couple months ago... I sorta felt my battery was bad so i went to get a new one from the sprint store... The guy said because "It was rooted and the phone had so much awesomeness.." it was draining the battery faster... I told him a quick reason why i thought it had to be the battery and he just gave me a battery from the drawer without doing any paperwork or anything... My battery wasn't feeling any better after the change and i still had issues with flash...
I think I'll just take some photosphere pics and well lit shots... Who needs flash anyways? Lol

I have the EXACT same issue however long pressing the power button turns on the phone instead of pulling the battery. It also started happening to me only on jelly bean. My GF has the same problem.
I can also tell you it happens with camera zoom FX as well but this cannot be a hardware issue since it only happened in jelly bean. It cant be that "suddenly" our phones developed a problem.
Is nobody using a nexus S to take photos or what? Or is it just a few unfortunate users affected by this?
Thanks for that post... Now I know I'm not alone here lol... I too noticed it with JB... Its %~°^¶©£ annoying... I wish a dev would look into it... I think it may have something to do with the flash having that instant jolt of high voltage... Idk because I'm no expert... I found a 50/50 chance of making it work correctly... If you hold the shutter button to let it focus, then let it snap, there's a chance it won't shut off... Just something to try and see if it helps!!

just did a complete factory restore back to 4.1.1 unrooted and everything... forgot to test the camera... i rooted again and installed custom recovery... tested camera out several times... no issue at all... tested some more... no issues... decided it WORKS!! so i flashed cm10.1 and updated everything again... tested camera and OFF!!!

test it... make sure flash is ON and snap a few pics... maybe a close pic out of focus, etc... idk what else to do... it worked fine unrooted...

doesn't matter my battery level... it happens on my charger too lol...
I didnt have this problem last night on a wedding thankfully as that would have been embarrassing, lots of pics were taken with flash. Its the sheer randomness of this that it makes it so hard to diagnose. :S
I've been having exactly the same problem. I cannot relate it to Battery Levels, as the battery drains sooo fast since I got the ICS upgrade.
I am now on the Factory ROM 4.1.2 and it is all problems. I am thinking of going back to Ginger Bread... them were the days!!!
J.
if you read above, it worked fine for me when i flashed 4.1.1 factory image... something to do with 4.2 i guess... idk... i'm not stressing it so much... i've learned not to use my camera when its dark or low light lol...
have the same problem

Its a Battery Problem
I'm suffering from this same issue and after downloading several camera app to no avail, the issue is finally resolved. From my experience, I can safely conclude that my was a hardware battery issue. At first I didn't believe it was a battery problem. I decided to go to different stores and tried several batteries but all shut down the phone when the flash on/flash auto + taking a snap is executed. Then, I pulled out the battery from my friend's brand new S3 and inserted it in my phone's battery compartment, fire on the phone and voila the camera flash worked like a charm without shutting down the phone. I used the same old battery on the new S3 low and behold, the new S3 inherited the flash+camera=shutdown issue instantly.
Same Issue on SGS2 Hercules
Having this issue after flashing a ROM on my GS2 Hercules, good thing I only experience it when my battery level is below 25%. But it would really be a pain if I would want to take a picture with a flash while my battery is low.
Have anybody tried other solution or troubleshooting aside from trying a different/new battery.
similar problem here...
the same thing happens to me, but with the difference that i run stock 4.1.2 rooted, and when the phone die after the led flashes, i just press pwr button and the phone turn on like never was happened.
i think it's a problem of corruption of something in the system, if i do a factory reset, for some limited shot the camera+led works, after that the phone die instantly.
similar problem with front camera, if i switch from back to front the camera service crashes and i can't do anything for make it working (manually stop the gallery process, reboot, cleaning data of gallery process), just wait some days and the process came back working (just for the rear camera).
sometimes i notice that while the stock camera app doesn't work, the Whats app camera keep working also with flash!

same issue with the nexus 5.. taking pictures works and then suddenly shuts down the phone, the power button can't wake the phone and the only way to get it to turn on is to plug it into an outlet.. very annoying.
that said I looked around the forums and it seems like a hardware battery issue, when the voltage supplied is too low or high or something
flash has caused my phone to shut off.
got GS3 SCH-i535 I've noticed the flash causing the screen to black out completely and shut off phone. I usually have to pull battery. its done it on 4.2 and 4.3 probably even 4.1 i dont remember I'm currently running 4.4.2. it just did it again which has prompted me to look online. as glad as i am to know im not the only one. is there any ****ing solution???
Everything was fine on the phone until I tried out AOKP 4.2.2 alpha 2 a week ago, When I had the rom installed the phone would randomly shut down. I thought it was because the rom was not stable enough so I flashed CM9. On CM9 the phone would shut off every five minutes it was that bad. I then installed Miktouch 0.7 and the shutdowns for the most part stopped. The phone will shut down now and again and it always shuts down after I use youtube for 10+ minutes or use the camera for several minutes.
I tried to revert to stock and see if that fixed anything but when I boot into the bootloader it looks for PG59IMG and says no image found and nothing happens. I got the PG59IMG from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878329
Any help is appreciated.
I swear it sounds mechanical...maybe battery related. Just starting out of the blue like that and it being cross ROM and all. It should just flash that file automatically from hboot though. Are you sure you copied the file to the root of your SD card? Did you relock your bootloader with *fastboot oem lock* before running it? Sometimes it doesn't like it if the usb cable is still plugged in. (for some weird reason) If you're still S-On, did you flast the boot.img file thru adb with *fastboot flash boot boot.img* after flashing your ROM?
Oh yeah, you won't be able to flash that PG59IMG if it is newer than the hboot version listed in your bootloader right now. That is until you get S-Off with the wire trick.
Check some of that stuff out & get back to us.
I agree it sounds mechanical, most likely a bad battery.
I confronted similar behavior over the weekend and a testing with a new battery allowed me to point a finger at an older, aftermarket battery as causing the shutdowns.
Sorry for the delay in the reply - real life got in the way.
I thought it was also mechanical but the shut downs are MUCH less frequent in Miktouch than on ICS roms so I thought it may have to do partially with the software.
I'm S-off, used the revolutionary method years ago. Never issued the "fastboot oem lock" command and I've never done anything related to fastboot. The stock image was in the root of the sd card.
When the phone does shut down it doesn't matter if take out the battery or do anything else, I can't get the phone to start back up until 20 mins later or so. The phone will certainly shut down if I use the camera or use youtube so if there is a way I can grab a log or something that could help let me know
I've had very similar issues, since installing a CM 10 alpha, and now on 10.1. The first couple weeks when I first rooted/flashed CM 10 were fine, but then it started rebooting one day, and never has stopped. Stock battery, no reboots prior to that, S-On, flashed the boot.img for each rom, and it's doing this with both CM 10 and CM 10.1. Does that also sound like battery, since it's the stock battery which has always worked fine? Also, it seems heat/intensity related - if I'm playing a game, using GPS, or talking a long time, that's when it tends to happen, and then it tends to happen right at/near the lock screen for a while after that until it's cooled down (perhaps that screams battery, but since it always restarts fine/has power I would have guessed it had to do with the processor or kernel). Thanks in advance for any advice!
Could be the battery...
I agree with the other posters. I had the experience of lots of random reboots a while back when I was working my way through sverhagen's 9.1r3+ ROMs. But, it just turned out that my stock battery had given up the ghost. Swapping to one of the gold batteries fixed the problem. I tried the stock battery in the interim for a brief stint and switched back to the gold, as the stock battery still caused random reboots. So maybe its time for a battery refresher

Yeah....the little suckers are on a power trip I think.
i've been having some shut down issues for a while, on different ROMs so I don't think it's that. whenever i'm using it i don't have any issues (unless it's a known ROM thing, that's separate). even during the day when i'm not using it, it hasn't shut down or anything. the issue is that a lot of times when i wake up, i find that the phone has been shut down. i charge it overnight. so, my best guess is that i should stop doing that, maybe the battery is bad, it can't handle that for that long?
idk any ideas would be helpful. i'm considering buying a gold battery anyway
Did you try the new Battery ?
I was have random shutdown and lockup problems. The phone would lock with a blank screen and I'd have to pull the battery to get it back.
Am running SilverL's CM 10.1. I might be a coincidence, but I backed off on the aggressiveness of the CPU settings (in the performance menu) and the problem went away.
I'm currently running a min/max = 128/1242.
I'm trying not to post a new thread so I'll post my very similar problem.
I got this phone about a year ago. I put Miktouch on it and was experiencing random shut downs all the time. I believe I posted on here and I can't remember the responses. As the mytouch q kinda sucks and I want a solid phone. I gave it another attempt this time with CM 9.1.0. When I used the camera once it shut down and restarted I think. Then I got a solid few days before it started going wanky again. Today alone I've had like 5 restarts. From what I've searched around it seems the problem here is the battery? This is stock battery and I got the phone used off ebay. I think I used stock rom like a week before rooting and putting Miktouch on it.
edit: For some odd reason my background also changed. Charged the phone backup. It turned off again.
If you've flashed any ROMs here to the MyTouch Q then that's your problem. It isn't this phone. These forums are for the HTC MyTouch 4G Slide. A much more powerful phone with a different manufacturer & motherboard. If you have S-Off go to their forums, wipe...wipe...wipe & reflash one of their ROMs. You're lucky you're not bricked.

I know. I'm talking about two different phones in the same post. I bought this phone (Mytouch 4g Slide) last summer but shortly started having problems. As I didn't want to deal with it I went back to my slowly dying touchscreen on my G2. When that finally died (touchscreen) I just bought a mytouch q as I wanted a phone that worked. This was my first new phone in a long time.
I am NOT trying to install any roms for the MyTouch Q on the MT4GS or the other way around.
S-OFF should be off on the 4G slide. Pretty sure my mytouch Q is still rooted though. It sucked at running CM 9
Sorry. Somehow I got confused. That being the case, it sure does sound like some type of a hardware issue instead of a software one.

Yeah, from what I read it could be a battery problem. Going to go with this Anker battery as its the only reliable battery I can find that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Anker Battery
Yeah I'd start with a new battery myself, either a new OEM or an anker, both are cheap on eBay. Also look for a post where me and weekends were discussing the emmc of this phone, bear in mind I have zero proof, but I got a suspicion there may be multiples they put in here and some worse than others.
If the battery won't work then I would repartition the whole dang thing, either by returning to stock and the rerooting and resoff, or by at least flashing the same bootloader on top of the one you currently have.
Just some ideas, but if you want a better idea of what's causing your issue, pull a logcat

I have a theory of whats causing it. If I extensively use the phone the battery warms up which gets to the point it shuts down. Thus if the battery is still too warm and I turn the phone on then it will just keep shutting down. Of course I can't do this until I'm home for the day as I'm out and about this weekend.
edit:
I used the Revolutionary way to turn s-off which is permanent.
I get random shut downs constantly. Usually atleast 3-4 times a day. It's pretty nerve racking. I honestly don't think it's the battery, I've experienced this issue on three different batteries and it happened on all of them. It's not ROM related either as I've tried probably 15 different ROMs (stock based, ICS, JB) and they all have this issue.
My buddy who has a Sensation also has this issue on his phone. Maybe it's a problem for that phone too since they are pretty similar?
Hi There,
This is the first time i've been so stuck i need to ask for help, so here it goes:-
my wife has a Galaxy S6 (sim free G920F) for around 25 days, Last night it prompted for an OTA update, which we allowed however today, all it is doing is complaining about Overheating and it needs to turn off, when putting it back on charge it says battery temp is too hot after it is left for a bit unplugged you can plug it back in and it will charge, but the error returns. saying it is too hot.
all since the OTA update
it currently on stock 6.0.1
I've tried to clear the cache and do a factory reset. but neither have resolved the problem.
anyone else had this since the update?
Many Thanks
Paul
Most likely culprit is the fast charging feature. Try disabling it and see if that resolves your problem.
Settings » Battery, disable fast charge
If that fixes your problem I'd say try a different cable and charger with quickcharge support.
You can also try turning phone off then trying to charge.
If it still gets crazy hot I'd say your battery is quickly going bad and you should get it replaced.
If it works fine without quickcharge at least you narrowed down the issue.

Just power off device, then press power+vol up and home button. When you see samsung logo relase just power button. When you enter in recovery just navigate to wipe cache partition and confirm with power key then reboot device. This is good for device after ota update, battery drain problems etc

What happens when you power the phone off completely and plug in charger?
See if it'll fully charge, this will rule out software / os issue.
Better to find this out first before your left with a dead phone for a couple weeks I've been there.

Hi
It happened to my galaxy s7 and my friend's galaxy s6. Both in exact same time (after update)
After update devices start to overheat without a reason during normal usage (Web browsing etc).
And I mean really hot - this kind of temperature that makes me worry about hardware.
The weird thing is that even that I flashed previous ROM (downloaded from sammobile and flashed with odin) the problem still occur. I thought that wiping all data and cache and flashing a ROM should totally remove any change that has been done to device by update, but it seems like I "can't go back" to the state from before the issue.
I searched the whole Internet looking for that issue hoping that some people already started to complain about it and by this - confirming that this is a larger problem related to update. Right now this is the only topic that I found.
Could be that people are still not aware that their recent problems with overheating is not because of some crazy app lagging (that's what my friend first thought was).
In addition when you try to Google the issue you got 102910 tutorials about how to resolve overheating by disabling fast charge or not using phone in the sun... lol.
Strange. One possibility is that the temperature sensor(s) inside the phone are defective and reports inaccurate temperature readings. I had this problem with my ex-HTC One X+, it would report high temperatures when in reality it's nearly ice cold (during the winters), I had the service centre replace the sensors for me.
My S6's battery temperature never exceeds 40°c, while the CPU occasionally reaches 70°c, at that point, my S6 would perform an automatic soft reboot. But that's it though.

The temeryture is so high that I do not even need to measure it by app. The device burning my hand (literally) is enough indicator for me.

Have it checked out at the service centre.
Solved
I had to allow it to turn off and let it cool down. left it 4 hours, turned it back on, (in all honesty, trying to replicate the problem for RMA) and all fine, over heating message disappeared and no problems since really weird.
anyway thanks for all the help guys
Cheers
See attached image, that's normal on my S6 and my ex-S6 Edge.

I think better app for cpu temp is CPUZ. It gives you more info.
Right now I'm on custom rom (superman rom) and with custom superkernel 1.4 and it seems like the phone overheats less - but I do not really know what are the good standard Temps for processor in basic use.

How do you know your phone 'overheats'? Does it show any message on the screen saying it is or does it self reboots? If it doesn't, it's not 'overheating', basic logic.
My S6 has 'overheated' only twice, it self rebooted.
