Last night at around 1am I put my phone on the charger before bed as usual and this morning at like 9 it is still not fully charged and it has put itself into driving mode on its own!! I turned it off and it kept putting itself back in it. I unplugged it from the charger then reconnected it and that seemed to work but has anyone else had this weird problem? My phone is rooted, I am running Phantom Hackers Blazer rom v 3.7 Any help would be greatly appreciated because this thing already reboots randomly and I am NOT going to put up with more problems from a phone I dropped 500+ for!
Anyone?

it is your clock app. I don't know why it decides to do that but if you delete it and just use a third party alarm clock it takes care of it. mine stopped doing it after. but I am pretty sure you dont have driving mode after tho.
Alright thank you very much I will delete it, and see how it goes. I dont really care about losing the driving mode. I never used it anyway.

Ever since i flashed clockword recovery, i shut off the phone to charge it at night, but once i plug in the phone, it boots into recovery! Always. Maybe i messed up something in the process? What can i do to fix it?
I'm running on stock, rooted n s-offed

it is a known issue with CWM.
You didn't do anything wrong, nor is there anything messed up. This is a known issue with ClockWorkMod at the moment. There is a 'fixed' version (unofficial) floating around somewhere, but it's not ideal. Depending on why you're turning your phone off, there are a number of alternatives:
1. put your phone in airplane mode while charging - this turns off all the radios, so your phone will charge *MUCH* quicker than it would otherwise. You can, of course, turn the display off, if the light is bothering you
2. Simply put the phone in silent mode (and either put it face down or turn the display off) if you're doing this while you're asleep.
There's an explanation on the ClockworkMod thread, but it doesn't really matter - fact is, that's how it is (for now).
Thank you Orange Bandit. I shut off my phone only to feel better about it charging, not getting hot I suppose. I always got this feeling charging the phone while it's on isn't too healthy. I think I will try the airplane mode!

I don't turn my phone off ever, unless it's locked up or something. I do have an app that I got from the market called CT Scheduler that automatically reboots my phone at a specified time (I have it at 2am every morning, while i'm asleep). Aside from that, my phone is literally always on.
The phones nowadays are designed to be used all the time - charging it with the phone on won't hurt it, but it most definitely charges faster in airplane mode. Often, if my battery is low and I've got 15-20 minutes to drive somewhere, I'll put it on airplane mode to charge in the car, just to get a bit more juice.
Somebody did post in that thread with a fix to the recovery. I have had it for some time now and it works great.
Is the fix official? Or at least work as well as the original wit no hiccups?

hey folks, im coming over from the galaxy s section...besides not staying off to charge, are any other problems reported? for instance, we use a program called odin to flash without cwm. its a kind of fail-safe. but, i cant get my pc to recognize the phone....anything similar with your phones? not looking for help necessarily, just similar occurrences.
man, i'm going INSANE with this phone. car mode keeps turning itself on no matter what i do i can't get rid of it. there isn't even an app installed that i can uninstall. it just keeps turning on randomly in the notification bar and if i'm doing anything on my phone it messes things up. any ideas how to get rid of this?

what ROM you running that you can't uninstall it through the standard settings?
you should be able to uninstall with Titanium. at least as a quick fix, but this may be indicative of another issue?
i had the same problem

I had the same problem before. In settings you can disable car mode from launching but every time you use headphones the volume will be stuck because it thinks its in car mode. I think the problem came from a cheap charger that I was using it may have bent or affected the connections some way that made the phone think it was in a car dock. Even when it wasn't plugged into anything. I just bought a better charger and a few weeks later the problem just stopped. I have no idea. hope that helps

yeah i have no idea i'm completely stumped. i've been using the same MIUI rom without upgrading for over a month now. all of a sudden today it starts and nothing in my system has changed. the thing is i have no car mode app in titanium nor is there an installed app to change settings.

here is the thread i ran on this problem... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12027541#post12027541 turning on bluetooth seemed to work for me for most things. Even though the app doesnt launch it still thinks its in a dock so the problem will continue. My best advice is buy a quality charger. I got a dock charger so it charges upright and that seemed to fix everything. But Im not 100% sure. My other Ideas was that I keep my phone in my pocket at work. Im in construction so I thought sweat may have caused a moisture problem in the phone... gross but just a thought haha
Could also be a bad usb port, causing the phone to think it's docked.
ok i'm still struggling with this. maybe the usb port is going bad i have no idea. that being said is there any possible way to remove car mode all together? its not listed as a separate app in titanium but i imagine there must be a way to remove it.
I had the exact same issue and it turned out to be a bad usb port since it happens to be one of the other issues with certain hw versions.. like b spot on nova screens n excessive light leakage. I would recomend flashing a stock rom n taking it to a sprint repair center for an exchange unless you know a particular that is lenient on rooted phones. Good luck.

just to add to this, try flashing a different rom just for kicks, to see if anything changes.
edit: sorry, I guess this was a couple weeks old
Here's a stab in the wind (unless it only happens when you plug it in). The car mode application also responds to magnetic fields. Are there any magnets near where you usually have this problem? (Wallets and purses often have magnets in them)
I have a problem with my Galaxy Nexus turning OFF at night.
I goto bed at night and open the clock app and click the screen to dim it. When I wake up in the morning the phone is OFF. I have to pull the battery in order to boot. The battery is fully charged.
I returned the phone after this happened twice and received a brand new one. I have the same problem with this new device. I have changed the power socket and the charger yet still the problem persists.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?
I have Skype installed and running which maybe the cause. I will keep it OFF for the next few nights to see if this has a positive effect.
Try it without any off your apps installed. If the problem goes away you know it's an app causing the problem. Then start adding them back in batches until the problem re-occurs. Eventually you'll narrow the issue down to one app.

This is happening to me too.
At random times, the phone will refuse to wake from sleep.
Nothing but a battery pull will fix it.
I don't have skype installed.
Have a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360880&highlight=sleep+of+death
Mine started today. Really hope this does not keep happening or I need to return this right away. Missed a few phone calls today and didnt realize until I looked down any my phone was just simply black. Will not wake up or do anything at all. You have to pull the battery. Right before this happened my data was dropping non stop about every 5 minutes for an hour.
I'm trying to stay calm because I love this phone, but between the data drops and the phone turning off im loosing patience quick.
This is happening to me as well. With TWO different phones. The first one I returned to Verizon and now its happening on the second one.
Phone will power off while doing random tasks. The two I've noticed is browsing on the stock browser and texting on the stock texting app.
I'm having the same problem. It's happened twice in the 3 days I've had the phone. It hasn't happened while I'm using it, both times it was when the screen was already off -- it just wouldn't waku up. Nothing short of pulling the battery, letting it sit, then powering on would work.
Couldn't have come at a worse time either, my daughter is in the hospital and I get updates from the surgeons via phone. So now I have to check every 5 minutes and make sure the phone is still on.
Phone is bone stock, out-of-the-box.

it does it when i have skype running too. also i have other other audio apps open. (power amp, tunein, pandora) It's happened twice to me and each time it has been during a skype call while the other apps were running. (in widget form)
shock sensitive in the area right below the camera?
My device just "randomly" switches off (sometimes several times a day). After a long search for a reproducible cause, it seems safe to say that at least some devices seem to be extremely shock sensitive in the area right below the camera (on the back of the device). Even minuscule shocks to this area switch these devices off. Youtube-user 'jardinepatten' demonstrates this problem nicely in a video called "Galaxy Nexus Turning Off".
When the phone is charging, this is not a problem...it only happens when its unplugged. If I put the screen to sleep or the phone goes to sleep on its own, the phone completely turns off and will not turn back on unless I pull out and replace the battery or reboot in recovery mode. This just started happening today. My phone is rooted so I unrooted and re-rooted it without any luck. I also tried different roms, but it still happens. Right now I'm on Unnamed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did read about the sleep of death issues on some other phones...but in my case the phone is off and doesn't work at all (in the other threads I read the phone was still working even though the screen went black).
Thanks in advance!

That's exactly what it was. On my Evo 4g I used to set the screen off profile to 200-200 powersave...I tried the same with my E4GT and it didn't work so well. I bumped it up to 500-500 and its been working fine.
Thanks guys!
I need some help from you guys. I've had my phone for about 7 months, and it's rooted with xposed greenify and wake lock detector. Anyways, once every two weeks or so i wake up and my phone is completely shut off. I miss my alarm and it makes me late for work. Before I go to bed I make sure it's plugged into the charger and thr last thing I do is check my alarm and make sure it's set. And then I wake up and bam, phone is completely shut off. It won't turn on unless I take the battery out and pop it back in. Can anyone tell me what exactly is doing this or how I can find out what's shutting off my phone?
