I believe this is a midnight rom issue. I had it on that rom only, and it was confirmed by others in the thread. I've not had it on AEmod or Starburst (which I'm using now that he upgraded to NoCiq)

See I am not sure that is the case because I am not on the midnight rom and it is happening on my phone.

what rom are u on?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I am running just stock Rom, No theme or costume Rom.
I am just Rooted, and i am still not able to stay shutdown.

Are you running Zedomax's kernel? I've read that his kernel will cause the phone to power on by itself.

I had the same problem on my Original Galaxy S (but only on Gingerbread). So it may be a Samsung Gingerbread thing?

problem solved, i left the midnight rom and went to aemod rom and it stopped doing it bit that rom is not to easy on the eyes. i then went to starburst rom and not only is it stock looking but i havent had the power back up issue and if tried atleast 20 times.. good luck all

5 vibration diagnostic code

So lately I've been getting the 5 vibration code and I've been searching around here and on other forums and no one seems to know what causes it. Has anyone else that's been experiencing this noticed that it seems to go away after a battery pull and then letting the phone cool down? I'm rooted with unrevoked running cm7 rc2 with Chad's newest kernel right now and tried running cm7 with the included kernel and experienced the same issue.
My main concern is whether to ruu and whether thats going to fix it or if it's simply a hardware issue

I have it too. Can you boot your phone up like normal after a little while? Everyone else on this forum who gets this can't do jack with their phone. I can boot up fine afterwards, it's just extremely annoying.
It's a code for some kind of hardware failure and they all had to get a new phone. I've been told a RUU may fix everything, but that's a semi-long process for someone as ADD as me to go through. You could try it though. And if you do, shoot me a PM with the results.
Yeah that's exactly what mine does, It'll boot right away and I usually only run into the issue when I'm playing a game for more than five minutes or using my phone in a warm environment. It seems to hit 100° F and then stops itself from overheating.
I was really hoping to not have to Ruu, because its such a process and I don't want to lose the gingerbread keyboard. Maybe someone else will chime in with another idea.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
So far you and I are the only 2 I know about in the internet who can still boot up like normal afterwards.
I wiped dalvik last night and I haven't had the issue today, you might give that a try. It can't hurt.

Ill try that today. I initially thought it was the battery overheating but it did it with the stock 1300 and its doing it with the evo battery I'm using now. Ill finish setting up adb and try the ruu next week when I get time.

Well I broke down tried the RUU and that went through fine but I cant seem to replicate the error with stock. I tried gaming for about 20 minutes and it didnt do it yet, normally it does it after like 5
Good to know.
Have you gone back to CM7 and seen if it helps out there?
-CM7 ADR6300
No I havent tried rerooting yet and reinstalling cm7 It keeps doing it only now it gets stuck in a boot loop instead of doing the five vibration thing then it boot loops about 3-5 times till it cools itself down then restarts normally like nothing ever happened
I already talked to verizon and the new ones in the mail so theres really no sense messing with it anymore now i just need to decide if i want to root the next phone or not
That's what's happening to mine now, too... I also couldn't root it? Unrevoked kept failing. Oh well. I'm selling it and migrating to a Thunderbolt.

What version of ClockWorkMod are you running? I read some problems with flashing CM7 caused by CWM 3.0.0.8 that was fixed by going to 3.0.0.7

When it happened to me I couldn't do a damn thing except get into clockwork Mod, which didn't help because I couldn't access the sdcard. I called up verizon and got a new one. For the two of you that actually have a working phone after this is your phone S-ON or S-OFF?

100F is nothing for these processors. Think about it, your body is 98F and a processor is meant to handle a lot more heat than your body. I know the TI OMAP in the original droid had a failure point of 220F.

Nope, not rom related since it happened to me when I was using Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.3 and flashing a custom kernel when it happened.
Mine remained rooted ans s-off throughout the issue.
I unrooted and applied s-on and reverted to the November RUU and it fixed everything.
Rerooted and reapplied s-off a few hours ago and flashed Virtuous. No more CM7 for me. That's when I started having issues.
Mine does the same thing. Vibrates once, turns off, vibrates 5 times and the LED blinks green. I think mine is related to an overheating issue. Mine reboots almost always when im plugged into the car charger, talking on the phone over bluetooth on my way to work. About a 35-45 minute commute. Even when plugged in at home, and while messing with the settings as well. The only thing that is almost always the same is the screen brightness. Thats when it gets super warm and then turns off. I'll try it out with the screen brightness settings to lower then usual. But when I let it cool off, like I do in the car in front of the A/C vent for about 30 seconds,, with the battery out of the device, it comes right back on no problems.
Mine was rooted and s off. I believe I installed cm7 using clockwork 3.0.0.7 then upgraded to 8 and still had the issue. I know 100°f is nothing for a processor but it seemed to have issues as soon as it got around 110 then if you let it sit it works again so that's what led me to thinking it was a heat issue even though it doesn't make much sense

EF02 and overheating.....

I am using [Odin]Stock EF02 with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.18.4 and also tried EF02Plus as well. I seem to have an issue only with EF02 with overheating. I remember it was an issue with the orginial leak of GB but now my phone will say it refuses to charge when it gets too hot. I did a check and my temp reading is at 107F. Now it is about low 90's outside today and we dont have AC as we do not want to kill the planet. Is anyone else having over heating issues? I have also tried both modems ef02 and ef10... I wounder is modem ec03 may solve this... whats your thoughts?

I have had this problem on every ROM I have tried since the release of froyo.. On froyo it would shut down because of the temps and cause all sorts of corruption problems. At least on gingerbread, I am not seeing the corruption, but the overheat lockup is still there and requires a battery pull... I have posted in every thread about this issue and have not seen a real fix to the solution. And I am not sure if it is just certain phones or what as it is not a huge widespread thing, but people do have it... I may try one of the other two roms listed later this week to see if I can sort out the problem...

[Q] Screen Unresponsive

I have had my phone sense Nov last year and just updated to the OTA 2.3 Android a few months ago. Sense the update (and to a lesser degree ever sense i got my phone) the screen has becoming more and more unresponsive. It started as just the Lock Screen would do nothing for the first few seconds and then everything would be fine. I would have it think i was long pressing spots sometimes and apps like Facebook and Tweetcaster would super scroll and speed up or down for a long time. Over the past couple weeks it has become so bad that my phone would stop responding to the touch screen within a couple seconds of awakening it. I have resorted to using the arrow keys like its an old Sidekick. Which works, just not really well. I am planning on calling sprint and getting it insurance-replaced because i think it might be a hardware problem. But before doing that I have put it back to stock ROM using the program that Samsung put out as their replacement to Odin (which i have used many times sense after about a month i started rooting my phone and screwing around with it.) The recent Apps i have been using which i think could be responsible are Mr. Number as it blocks calls and Cloudskipper Media Player sense it overrides the lock screen and maybe one of those two is messing with something.
Has anyone else had this problem or something similar, any ideas on how to fix it if it comes up again?
Ok, u said that u have ur phone rooted since u updated it to gb? Or what? Trying to clarify first before we contine.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Sorry, no it is currently not rooted. It was, but i had to restore it to factory because while it was rooted Clockwork wasnt liking the OTA update. Actually Clockwork wasnt seeing my SD card at all at that point. So I used the Odin replacement to reset, then the update took. Sense then i havent re-rooted it.
Ok. Well there is an updated version of cwm, and there are a few steps that u need to do to reroot with gb

Speaker not working cm9 with shadow 5 kernel

My phone all of a sudden stopped ringing when I got calls, text, etc.... noticed it while trying to watch a video...no sound. Then one day it rang for an IM. So I knw now the speaker isn't busted like I originally thought. Its worked fine until now. Anybody have any input? Feel free 2 pm me

Must be something in the water. Had same thing. Try plugging in a wired headset while watching a youtube, then unplug. This worked for me for 2 hours then nada.

I recently went through similar situation. Plugged wired headset in and out while watching youtube. This made my speakers come alive again for short time so they weren't blown. I factory reset, flashed stock, all ota's, rooted and went mtd cleangb. None of this brought back speakers. Something was telling them not to come on. Got new device so moot point 4 me now...

Odin him back to stock to see if he still has the problem I suspect he will. My wife had this issue when on cm no custom kernel it was a hardware issue. I am not saying CM caused it **** happens and her hardware failed.
One way to tell if it is hardware is does it vibrate? If it doesn't vibrate then it is hardware if it does then it might be a setup issue.
Yea it vibrates. Phone sitting on the table with vibrate.....kinda like a ringtone right? Sad but true lol

Then it might not be hardware. When my wife's speaker stopped working it wouldn't even vibrate. When I spoke with the person at Sprint that fixed it he said it is the same unit. Of course I am not sure if it did vibrate at first because the wife didn't tell me for like 3 weeks that it was happening.

I didn't have this problem after I installed Triune II, but if you suspect the ROM is related, do a backup and install a different ROM to see if that resolves the problem..... just a thought and takes less than 5-10 min.
