Hey guys,
I don't know whether anyone encounter this before. But my phone sometimes not frequently will just blackout by itself. The saving grace is that, I do not need to pull the battery to get it working again. I just need to hold on power button for it to reboot again.
Anyone facing this issue before?
By the way, I'm on stock rom and kernel. 4.0.2 here.
Thanks in advance.

unlocked and rooted? I would do a factroy reset and see if that would solve your problem. It could be an app you downloaded.
I'm not rooted at all. Stock rom and kernel.
Anyone has any idea on this?
I've had similar problems but i'm rooted any it was a problem with the governor not bringing the phone out of sleep. I think it was the hotplug feature or something.
Not sure what it'd be on stock, sorry!

i've had my gnex for over 3 weeks and yesterday was the first and only time that i've experienced random shutdowns and reboots. i think i know the culprit.
i was at a location known spotting vzw 3G coverage. no 4G. i had issues getting reception w/ my moto droid phones at this location. this is the first time i've been there w/ my gnex. the gnex shutdown and rebooted twice. a third time, the reboot at stuck at the intro video. had to pull battery.
since i came home to good 4G/3G coverage, my phone has not acted up once.
me thinks random reboots is radio related.

Anyone else have this problem? I just got this phone like not even a week ago and it just stopped working. It will work like 10-15% of the time. Should I send it in or what should I do? would it be a software problem Like the rom I installed? I doubt it but I installed the AokP with franco kernal would that be it?
I have aokp 28 with Franco kernel and I've never experienced this problem. If your power button is giving you issues go to settings in rom control and use volume wake with this feature I never use my power button.

1) Flash another ROM. Still broken?
a) No?: It was your ROM
b) Yes?: Go to #2
2) Restore to stock. Still broken?
a) No?: Custom ROMs borked it.
b) Yes?: Go to #3
3) Return the phone / warranty claim.
Had this issue. A little different since it was the volume rocker giving me a headache. Volume up suddenly was hit or miss. Then became totally unusable. Brought it back to the store, showed the problem, went home with a brane new Gnex.

Anyone else having sleep of death issues recently on JB? Im running the stock JRO03C Build rooted, busyboxed, and deodexed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849), and only MOD I have on top of that is a battery percentage mod(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738335). Recently in the past week or so I've had a few sleep of death incidents. This morning was one of them where my alarm didn't go off! My notification light was on, and my phone was plugged into the charger, but couldn't wake it. Anybody else experiencing this issue, or have any suggestions of things to look at/try? All the other threads on this are from ICS, so not sure if they would apply since this in on pretty much stock JB.
I don't know but think people either don't know the meaning of stock or I have to learn the meaning
What you described is not stock Rom.and to your answer no I don't get sod.
True. I'm not on stock, I guess I meant to say that my ROM was created from stock. Good to know that someone else is not experiencing this though. Thanks.
The only issue I have is that the phone freezes after recieving or making a call.
That happened about two times only.
I only have about two weeks with the phone and I upgraded to JB as soon I got the phone. I didn't even run the setup wizar in JB: just unlocked the bootloader and flashed 4.1.
I though it was a bad flash and applied the yakju 4.0.4 factory image and the flashed the OTA to get stock JB 4.1.1. I had the issue only one time with that setting.
Right now, my phone is completely yakju. I don't remember my variation. I just recall it came with 4.0.1 and upgraded itself to 4.0.2 and no more.
Cheers!

I was having screen freeze while using the google reader app. Had to pull battery.
Am running the same ROM, with battery percentage mod as well. Stock kernel. Not sure why.
possible sleep of death fix?

I was running stock 2.3.2 on my Evo Shift and was experiencing this issue. try backing up your sd card onto your desktop and then formatting it. it worked for me. I run an unofficial version of cm9. the only issue i still have is that my htc logo that shows at boot is still gone, and with that gone I cant easily select items in hboot/fastboot on the device. but thats for another forum for another day.

1. 2.3.2 isn't JB.
2. The GNex doesn't have an SD.
3. It's also NOT an Evo shift.
4.Nice first post.

good point. i also was wrong about the sd card anyways. i flashed cm9 back on it. turned auto brightness off. it had the issue. rebooted. turned it back on. re-enabled autobrightness. no issue.
thanks for the compliment.
I'm on 4.2 and have the issue. A few times a day, I'll pull it out of my pocket and I see the "backlight" turn on but screen is on. (I'm not sure how there is a backlight if is amoled but i do see some kind of something very very faint )
In Developer Options put all animation scales to .5x.

I experienced a similar issue on 4.1, but it would happen almost once day (very annoying). I'm now on a 4.2 rom and I haven't seen the issue in weeks. :laugh:
I just recently installed CM9 alpha 6 on my Epic 4g Touch but ever since my phone restarts so much! Its just super buggy and it acts as if im holding down the power button showing the options for Reboot, Airplane mode, etc. After that it restarts. It will does this almost constantly to the point where the phone is barely usable. Anyone experience similar issues? Any suggestions?
Using it the last few days w zero issues. Which one are you using and how did you flash?

I just installed it myself yesterday, but all has been good. I haven't had any of those problems. You probably should download it again and flash it again.

Really stupid question, but did you use "Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT" zip file before flashing CM9? I only ask because I have had issues in the past with other roms by forgetting to wipe everything beforehand. Even the savvy tech could forget something sometimes :silly:
I'm running the exact same ROM. I underclocked mine down to 800Mhz to save battery and it was causing constant restarts. I moved it up to 1000Mhz and they stopped. If you tried messing with the clock speeds that might have caused it
OP, did you fix your problem or did it just go away? I recently flashed mine to cm9 alpha 6 and am having the exact same problem. Never has this phone had problems before.
I'm running the stock ICS FF18, rooted. All seemed reasonably well for the first couple weeks, now the damn thing wants to randomly reboot.
I tried wiping, reinstalling the stock ICS, but the problem returned. Reboots happen maybe upwards of a dozen times a day. I've tried isolating the problem but unable to find a common variable...sometimes it happens when I'm in the middle of something, like web surfing or texting. Sometimes it happens when I press the power button, sometimes it happens when it's just sitting there not being touched, sometimes it happens when plugged it, sometimes when not plugged in.
I can't think I have a bad install twice and I'm not finding much on the forums here about others with a similar problem with the stock ICS. So I'm thinking either an app is being a b1tch and causing problems or perhaps something related to the battery? If there was one common theme, it does always happen later in the day or at night after the battery is down below 50%.
Does anyone have thoughts, ideas, suggestions on the likelihood of a bad battery or perhaps someone experienced something similar?

Any special wi-fi config? (That's the culprit in my case.)

No...never installed the hotspot hack, did have foxfi installed, but did not reinstall after reloading ff18.
im also having the same problem as well, and the problem has became worse and worse,what started off as once or twice a day,is now at least occurring every 10 min.I think im about to downgrade right now to stock gingerbread and see what happens
My phone has always had some amount of random "poweroffs" (not really reboots, I pick up the phone expecting it to be on and it boots from scratch instead). However its much more frequent on ICS (FF18/FH13).

I had that issue on AOKP M6, then realized my power button was actually broken. It would reboot the phone because it was actually stuck down internally. Had to get a new phone.

The power button seems to be a common cause of random reboots and that's what I'm leaning towards now as no other software fix has resolved the problem. Supposedly Sprint ordered me a replacement to swap out phones. I'd definitely recommend trying a different Kernel if on FF18 and if that doesn't fix it, try rolling back to EL29.
Hi there,
Apologies if this may be a bit of a superficial post but the phone in Q isn't mine so I'm working on second-hand info here. A friend of mine got a G3 off ebay that's t-mobile branded and is supposedly the European model, I haven't checked. (She's using it in the UK nonetheless). Also it has "the latest software updates" (whatever those may be) installed. The phone is not rooted or otherwise tampered with.
Her problem is that occasionally, the phone restarts apparently randomly, though she noted that this happened more when she was in the countryside and the internet connection was coming and going. My guess is that this may have to do with the modem, but not sure. She did some googling and apparently the problem is relatively common but there's no good solution to it.
My two (three) questions are:
- has anyone else encountered this issue?
- any solution to the problem?
- is this a stock firmware issue, ie would installing CMod solve the problem or is this a hardware problem?
Thnx
If it's second-hand phone it's battery issue.
Rushing toward CMod isn't going to solve your problem.
I am also facing the same issue. This also occurs when I'm at my village home. Mostly happens at the same place.
So instead of installing CMod try to change battery because stock Rom is also best and therefore any problem in it means problem in hardware not in software.
But you can still try different techniques. Also tell me if you can solve it.
Installing CM brought no solution for me and still faced random reboots.
i have faced this problem, adter everything i tried then i decided it is battery issue.
i mean change your battery

I've been having the same issue. My I've used a new battery but my phone acts the same as it did before. Reboots randomly after the wifi, bluetooth, and 3g crash and attempts to recover. The reboot never succeeds and I have to physically pull the battery. Currently using the latest nightly of CM13.
I have had the same issue. I have a stock ROM, fully updated TMobile G3 phone and when i would go to europe, the phone would randomly crash. When it was in airplane mode it would not crash, so i kept it in airplane mode unless i needed to call and i used the wifi calling feature. I thought it was the battery but i have the stock battery and an anker battery and i have never had this problem in the US, it only happened abroad.
