reboot problem

I just got the HTC one s yesterday the 25th, and already suffer randomly reboot like 3 - 4 time in a day. I want to know if anyone is having the same problem.

I haven't had any reboot issues at all, just a weird screen refresh rate issue that I posted about in another thread. Going to try to swap mine tomorrow or Saturday to see if it's just this phone.

Yeah, also I have this "issue" but isn't a RANDOM REBOOT, it's only a secondary problem, put the phone in the opposite mode (change up to down) and you could resolve.

Crazy amount of random reboots.....I only got this phone today too .. HTC better fix this soon

The reboots may be caused by an app installed on the device. Try to uninstall recently installed apps. If you cannot start the phone because of reboots try entering safe mode by holding volume down on start up (after splash screen appears) then uninstall troublesome apps.

I never had any apps installed when my phone started rebooting, I just bought the phone then a hour later it started rebooting

Perhaps you should get it replaced, it shouldn't behave like that out of the box. If it's a hardware problem... Better safe than sorry, even if you have to wait for a new phone.

[Q] Screen went black (didn't turn off)

So I was surfing some forums earlier this morning when my, 3 day old, Galaxy Note 10.1 screen went dark. Not a full black like when the screen is off, though I thought it was at first. But it wasn't completely off which I found out when I hit the power button to turn the screen back on. It turned it off. Anyways, when I turned it back on I was notified that the Wifi also went out. Maybe it had something to do with that?
I took it as a sign to go to sleep since I was staying up way too late playing with my new tablet. So I haven't messed with it since. I'll come back to post more in this thread if it happens again - especially if no one else seems to know what the problem is.
Anyone have any thoughts?

My screens does that too.. No big deal to me as long as its working..

And it's not like a screen dimming when the backlight turns off, seconds before the screen actually does turn off. Same experience for you?

Only happens in the stock browser for me. Maybe once a day.

Any one find a fix for this? It happens a few times a day for me. Hitting the power button twice gets me back but usually happens in the middle of taking notes in class so is annoying to take an extra few seconds to get it back up. Maybe a kernel thing?? I've tried resetting a few times with no luck

It's the sleep-of-death, which happens most often after an Android update. I had issues with it occurring regularly after updating to JB. I traced my problem down to an app that worked well under ICS but caused JB to crash. Once I removed the app, I stopped having issues (I'm on stock 4.1.2). If you're on a custom rom, check the forums to see if others are having the issue on that rom. Also, do Internet searches on the apps that you use most frequently to see if there are reports of any of them causing JB to crash. Good luck, it just takes detective work on your part so be patient.

random screen blank
I have had my Galaxy Note 10.1 since xmas. Lately it randomly goes blank. It happens during an application or game. I can click the on/off button to put it to sleep then wake it the regular way...
I have noticed it with games mostly, 250+Solitaire and Sudoku Premium. The screen goes blank, the backlight stays on and have to put to sleep to get screen back...

Mine does the same thing except I usually can't wake it back up. The screen stays black and I have to hold the power button down until it restarts.It's happened with the stock browser and Google play store while I was browsing.

It happens to me too (ics and jb) sometimes, does't matter what app is runing, but only if I'm using stylus. I don't mind it, just have to double press power button.

I still have it happen sometimes too. Never found a solution and I'm quite certain it even started happening before I had any extra apps installed.

I feel like you might be on to something with the stylus being out because I'm quite certain it only happens to me when I have mine out too. Something to keep an eye on.

You could try disabling lock screen for a while in settings/security.
Are you using a case that covers/touches the power button?

Lol I meant You should disable screen lock. So, if it happens again, it might be due to a weird app causing it.
Also, if screen randomly turns off by it self after disabling screen lock, then the problem cold be around the power button.
That's why I asked if you are using a case.

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem from the past week on my nexus 5. it's getting worse as more days go by.
I'm not using any case for the phone. I have tried factory resetting the phone which has not helped.
the phone keeps locking and timing out every 10 seconds or so. I have disabled the lock screen too, but it makes no difference.
I've uploaded a small video of this happening on Youtube. It is actually much worse than seen in the video.
I cannot post the link as I'm a new user.the video is titled "Nexus 5 lock screen loop". It's a 30 second video.
Hope you guys have a solution. Thanks in advance.

Same issue here on now two of my nexuss. You'll either notice the top right portion of the screen is raised up ever so slightly or the battery is warm to the touch. With both I could press the screen back in and it would move or have a little crackle. Seems the power button is effected by this, it's a design fault apparently. Wonder how many times I'll get it and how may times they'll replace my device.

Screen wont turn on

Out of the blue - or so it seems - my screen will no longer turn on.
I was listening to music and pushed the power button to change the station and the screen would not turn on.
When I push and hold the power button the phone will vibrate briefly, indicating that the shortcut menu to reboot/ mute the phone has come up, just that the screen remains black.
When I try calling myself the screen will not turn on nor will the phone ring.
When I plug the USB cable into the phone, the screen remains black instead of turning on like it normally would.
The screen will turn on randomly on the rare occasion, but the screen wont respond to touch.
Help!

Sounds like a good candidate for rma

Not sure that will fly Google. I dont believe there is a warranty beyond the 30 days you have for return. Worth a try though!

Thanks. That rebooted the phone and fixed the problem for now. Now it works most of the time, but now and then the screen will still fail to turn on when pressing the power button.

what app were you using to listen to music with? and why would you press the power button to change the station?

OP give more details about your phone. is it unlocked/rooted or custom Rom? Google replaces unlocked/ re-locked phones anyways, I think it wouldn't hurt to reflash stock image.

Spotify. And I wasn't pushing the power button to change the station, I pushed the power button to turn the phone on so that I could change the station. There is not much interaction possible while the screen is turned off
With any luck it wont happen again. Although I dont normally rely on luck much.

Just FYI, the problem stopped after flashing a new ROM and Kernel (from Franco's Kernel to Cyanogenmod Kernel). Been running Cyanogenmod for a few weeks now and I haven't had the problem since.

I don't think it's Google's responsibility to fix 3rd party apps.

I think the issue isn't with third party apps its with Android itself
Android OEMS such as Samsung,LG and HTC, Sony have all this fixed
I own a LG G2 and a Samsung Galaxy s4 and both are on 4.4.2 and they always respond when I wake the screen
my Nexus 5 on the other hand 100% stock with the same app's loaded has troubles and requires a reboot atleast twice per week

Oneplus 7 Pro Screen Blank issue

Hi,
I have a 9-month-old Oneplus 7 Pro. I am from Bangalore, India. This is my first Oneplus device. Previously I was owner of Nexus Series and Samsung devices.
I was expecting my Oneplus 7 Pro to last a few years considering the extended software support from OnePlus. But for the last 3 days, the screen has gone black. I am able to get calls, notifications, and even alarm tones. Even the slider button for notification works and I can feel vibrations. But the screen does not turn on. This is the 2nd time it is happening to me. It had happened the first time before two months when there was Corona lockdown. I was unable to give for service due to lockdown. After a week, the screen came back miraculously.
Now the problem has recurred again, I am trying to call Oneplus support, no one answers. No luck with chat as well. I have tried volume up + power to reboot, nothing happens. I scheduled for pickup to service for Saturday, still, no one bothered to call or msg till today! Now I am fed up with Oneplus. Have decided never to buy again. Better luck with Samsung / iPhone. My wife's Mi phone has better service, I guess!
Have anyone faced similar issues? How can I revive my phone? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried volume up and down plus power for 30 seconds?

Yes. I can even feel it vibrate after few seconds. But it doesn't work. The display is not coming on.

Well that is a force reboot, do you see anything in a dark room? Other than that, can't say I had this problem and I had this phone since launch

No, nothing is visible. Will see what Oneplus says... Thanks for your response.
