[Q] "Android system" turns off my galaxy nexus - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

hi All
I saw a lot of topics related to "nexus turns off", but haven't seen that someone mentioning Android system causing this issue.
It starts couple days ago, vibrates and turns off. In this days i realized that before vibrates it shows "Android System" and "Shutting down" dialog (see attached screenshot). that is not cause of battery low. it happened with 70% battery as well.
I restored device, re-flashed with 4.0.2 and flashed with 4.0.4, nothing helped. I don't know what to do. Is there anyone, who saw this issue before or know any solution.
Appreciate in advance.

Try a different rom?

Next time it happens with a lot of battery could you show a screenshot? Because every time my phone dies, it shows Android System. But if it doesn't show the Android System screen, maybe your rom is just having random reboots.

aaaa
I tried to change my ROM, I but I don't how to do it. Now actually waiting for my phone dies with full battery to take screenshot. Today I went that shop where I bought device, that said battery problem and gave me new battery. But I don't think that is battery problem. As soon as I have screenshot I'll upload.
Last time some guy flashed my device with 4.0.4 android. Is it so that my device already rooted? Cause to before change ROM I gotta root it. Or how to know my device already rooted or not? Thanks

Do you have superuser installed? And if so, download rom manager and click to flash clockworkmod specifically for your device

the battery level in the screenshot was really low, and thus is normal that the OS shut down the phone...

Is the CPU temperature high when it shuts down?

He said it happens regardless of battery level (coincidence in picture).

Here is the screenshot with full battery

just a few weeks ago I started having the same problem with my HTC One X (yes, I know this is a Galaxy Nexus thread, but it seems to be a problem that's becoming common with other devices as well). Does anyone have any fix to this?

The last time when tried to fix it...some 'mobile repair' guy told me, this is caused by processor chip, but he couldn't fix it. So finally i sold it...before it shuts down and bought new galaxy nexus.

Sleep of death?

Anyone having issues with the phone going to sleep and not waking up? Happened last night and I had to remove the battery

I've had this twice now. Both times after using Spotify, probably purely coincidence though. Battery pull and everything is OK.

Most likely something that you have installed on your phone isnt liking ICS. Hard to narrow down if you have alot of apps installed.
I have had mine for 6 days now and not had a single Sleep of Death and I havent seen too many comments about it so I dont think its a problem with ICS directly.

Well its still worth noting. SetCPU never did this on my DHD
I had exactly the same thing last night, I even made my own thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360847&page=2
I even wrote a simple app for logging the battery temperature and time, so I'll leave it on next night and I'll see what happens. Because I'm pretty sure my phone switched off due to overheating, as it was really,really hot in the morning, after I switched it on the battery was at 46C.
I'm afraid I can confirm that I have experienced the same "sleep of death" problem twice now. I can't remember what I was doing the first time, but the second time I was only browsing and I know I didn't have any apps installed because I had previously reset my phone. I've only had the phone for two days now and if it does it again I might have to send it back.
I expected a glitch or two, but with the volume bug and other annoying things like the lack of flash and poor camera quality, I'm beginning to regret my purchase. Although I love the ice cream sandwich experience, I'm now thinking of getting the Galaxy Note instead, and waiting for ICS to arrive on that next year. At least then I will be able to watch iPlayer in the meantime.
Mines done it about 4 times. Pre installed Movie maker seems to induce it.

Had a sleep of death for the first time yesterday - the only "different" thing I did during the day was use spotify so there maybe something in that!
Same again last night, woke up this morning and phone was on but wouldn't wake. Notification light was on solid. Was plugged in at wall all night, didn't seem too warm when I held it.
Time to start debugging I guess
I've had this issue twice too.
I do not have spotify installed, and the phone was NOT hot at all. Not even warm!
I was just in gmail, sent a mail, then pressed the home button, and black.... gone.
Had to pull battery.
Thinking of having phone replaced by Handtec. I know this is probably a software glitch, but the volume bug, and the fact my unit was one that handtec had "tested" etc, I might just ask for a brand new one from the new flashed batch due next week.
Wtf! Just how wide spread is this??? Seems like too many people are having this issue.
Phone hasn't even arrived yet and I'm already starting to question my purchase.
1 more bug and im cancelling my order !
Well, it's the first device with ICS so I expect there will be a few bugs in the future which will need to be fixed. That's the reason why I'll go for the Nexus ... it's a nice piece of hardware but even more important is that it will be the device which gets the fixes first.
Did anyone check to see if you've had an OTA for the volume ghost fix and this problem has spawned instead? Seems like a fairly new problem if you have followed the forum.

Sleep of Death?

I flashed a rom 2 days ago. Ever since then, if my phone sleeps for a while in my pocket, it will not wake. I have to hold power to reboot. Anyone heard of this? Know a fix?
Not on cm9 or 10. TW based from here.Thought I had heard of this before.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

I am having a similar issue. After flashing to Phantom Blazer ICS ROM, I inadvertently ran ROM Manager and tried to flash CWM 5.0.2.7 that way. Since then I've wiped numerous times and flashed several other ROMs, even performing a nandroid restore to GB Blazer ROM, but to no avail. The phone screen and buttons still flash a bit as a precursor to my phone shutting down, and upon reboot my battery drains down to 2% and goes to shut off again. This happens repeatedly unless I leave my phone on a charger. This has lead me to believe that it may be a battery problem, but I cannot confirm until I receive my new battery in a few days. Hope someone can shed some light on this.
Anything odd with the wi-fi?
Those that seem to be having these issues seem to also have wi-fi issues.
For example, my phone freezes at work due to the wi-fi config. If I drop it, no problems whatsoever.

Sleep of Death or Hardware?
I too am having this problem. Long story short a few days ago I flashed CM10 Alpha4 and noticed out of no where my phone would just turn off. No boot off ani, nothing. It drains my battery to 1%. I did several wipes, formatting, clearing, stock GB, many different ICS roms with TONS of different kernels (i thought it was kernel related). Nothing helps. My phone does this while charging too. It also does it when the screen is on and I can predict when it's going to shut off because the backlight starts pulsing, then BAM RIGHT IN KISSER! It. Sucks.
Currently on FH13 Wicked Sensations with Kuban kernel .0.5, I guess it's betetr. But, idk.
I hope there's a fix, but I'm thinking it's a hardware dealy.
I guess..least with the cheap ones you mess them up putting them on you just wasted that money lol..

I had SOD for 3 days and just before my screen started fading in and out, I locked my phone. When I unlocked it, it saw that Maps.Process.Whatever stopped responding. I thought that was weird bc I haven't opened Google Maps yet with this new ROM flash. So, I went into Settings > Location Services > and UNCHECKED location and google search. Since then, no SOD. I have no idea if this works for everyone. Maybe you can try that...idk

I will give this a try this tonight and run it through tomorrow, see if it helps with my issue (which sounds a whole lot like your issue). Will report back tomorrow night, thanks for the tip!
i was so fed up i use the el29 stock tar file went back to it and now i received a official 4.04 update imma afraid to update lol...battery suck..now batter life on this el29 in fine for now..
Tried turning off all location, but SoD still happening very erratically. Still have light pulsing and loss of signal right before shut down. Perhaps it is hardware, but could it really be the battery? Will find out soon when battery arrives in a day or two.

Battery stats RESET at every reboot!!!!!?????

Battery stats RESET at every reboot. Is it just me or is this a JB/Samsung related bug? To me this is NOT normal and it definitely didn't happen in ICS or GB
------------------------------------------------------------------------
:good: Updated Tue, Nov.20.2012
As strange as it may sound, after about 3-4 cycles, the funny issue reported above is gone. Now my SGH-I317M behaves like it's supposed to and so, the battery stats are being kept after reboot. Like all the other Samsung phones I have/had, the battery stats are being reset after the phone has been kept plugged in for a while - which is normal. I took some time to report this just to make sure that it's consistent.
Yeah, I find that annoying too. I wish it kept it's settings. I was hoping to get an accurate look at my daily usage today, but an early reboot is going to destroy that.

Still...I wonder, is this a bug or is it Samsung's/Google's new vision about how battery stats are supposed to be working? If it's a bug they'll probably fix it but if the bug is in someone's head, then we're kind of screwed - from this point onward (JB, KLP, etc)
iirc all stock phones ive had do that. Atrix and the OG note. The note didnt do that once modded tho.

Not quite sure what you mean by "stock phone" but I have the SG2 (SGH-I727R) with ICS 4.0.4, rooted and SG3 (SGH-I747M) with ICS 4.0.4, rooted and DEFINITELY none of them do that. The Note II (SGH-I317M) is certainly my first Android phone to do that - after all, think about it! Is your battery starting a new cycle after every reboot? Plus, the phone might not even get close to a plug. Why reset the stats?

Stock implies just that...STOCK. no root, stock. Dont know what to tell you but both mine did this quirk. Was annoying as hell.

I used "Device Analyzer" in the past to see a weeks worth of battery stats in one view. But it only gives you charge levels, not app usage.
My One X resets if I charge it above ~70%. Every android ROM and phone I have had in the past only reset at a full charge. And I haven't seen one yet that resets at a reboot. Sounds like a bug. Fingers crossed for fixing when they push the side by side app view update.
To make sure, we are talking about this data, right?

Battery won't show charge past 70%. Please HELP!

Hi Guys,
I have spent days researching this, and have read dozens of forum posts, but nothing has worked. Here's the problem- I bought a used GNEX off of Craigslist. The phone looks great and seems to work well. But, it won't show a charge beyond about 70%.
I thought the battery might be the issue, so i bought an a new OEM extended battery, but the new battery didn't make any difference. It still won't show a charge above 70% no matter how long I leave it on the charger (with the phone turned on or off). I have done probably 20 discharge/recharge cycles, but nothing changes.
Next, I bought an external charger. When I fully charge the battery in the external charger and pop it in the phone, it still shows around 70%. So, it is definitely an issue with the phone (not the batteries).
I've also tried four different ROMs, as well as all the black-magic "battery calibration" tricks found in the forums, but nothing helps.
I am totally stumped! Is there anyway I can fix this?
Thanks!
Slim
Please HELP! More info.
Hi guys,
Just an update. Yesterday I tried three different kernels, just in case that might make a difference. No luck. The kernels didn't make a difference.
Any advice on how I can make this phone handle battery levels correctly? It's been on the charger all night and only shows 66% charge.

You might try returning to stock to see if eliminating custom ROMs helps.

Same issue here, i tried with another battery that showed 95% in other Gnex and in my gnex showed 60%.....
I'm getting crazy!
Definitely a hardware issue.
Toro | Carbon | AK SKL
try an app named "BatteryCalibration" by marosige. When opened it shows the in circuit battery voltage. 3600-3700mV is to be expected from a well charged and in good shape battery. We seam to be having the same issues with mine having progressed to showing 0%. I have a recent thread here as well. I have read that the recovery battery stat wipe is just for the application level, but I think there must be a file or setting somewhere that maps mV to %'s and that this is what needs wiped/reset.
Anyone overhere still having issues?
I updated my thread on a similar if not the same problem, and am looking for some volunteers to help gather a little data. I would like for one or more persons to install SL4A and python, run a script and report findings. If you are willing please post a reply in my thread.
Thank you

[Q] Frequent shut down

I started to suffer from my p-601 after rooting.
Battery charging is taking much longer time about 8 hours from 0 to 100%.
Also I noticed the note is suddenly off, then I have to long press the power button to restart, then it displays strange message "headphone is disconnected"
Then the cycle is repeated frequently, since yesterday it was more than 10 times to notice this frequent death or sudden off. I think it is related to root/nova launcher or motherboard, really I don`t know what is going on.
Can someone help me or advice me what is going on.
Best Regards.

CleanRom is for the P600, yours is P601, that`s not the right rom for your variant.
I'm not brave enough to mess with ROM's, already bricked one device for good, but I can tell you this-Nova Launcher is going bye-bye on both of my 2014's and my Note 8.0. I'm finished with it crashing all the time. Getting rid of that plus freezing Knox and all the other crap stopped the random reboots and crashes. I'm now using KitKat Launcher, and so far it is much more stable. But half the time I'm still almost afraid to use the 2014...

Finally I have re-flashed my p-601 with a stock rom because there is no reliable custom rom for the p-601.
All bizarre performance disappeared. No more sudden shut down. Battery discharge was acceptable.
Someone was recommending decreasing the transition animation to 0.5 so I did it and actually helped a little in performance.
