[Q] reboots randomly when screen is off

Ok maybe you guys can help. I'm having the strangest problem.
I'm running cyanogenmod nightly 151 and last night I was using the torch widget on bright for a little while and the battery died. Charged it back up and when I unplugged it in the morning it rebooted to white htc logo screen. Booted up normally and as soon as screen times out it reboots again. It did this a number of times so I Did a complete wipe and installed an older nightly, same issue. Full wipe and installed a stable rom, same thing. Then I noticed when I leave it on the charger I don't have the rebooting problem, only on battery power, so I replaced the battery. Same issue. Then I noticed that if I constantly use the phone it doesn't reboot. Only when the screen times out. Set the time out to 30 mins and left it idle. 30 mins later it rebooted. Turned off the "screen off animation" thinking that was the problem, no luck. Flashed back to stock official tmobile rom, same issue! Tmobile is sending me out a new phone and battery but just for curiosity sake and so it doesn't happen again, any ideas on what it could be? Definately gonna avoid that torch widget in the future! Thumbs up to tmobile customer service for their no haggle "overnight me a phone for 5 bux" customer service!

To sum it up, when phone is on charger no problems. When phone is running on battery, anytime the screen goes out, either by hitting power button or by it timing out, it instantly reboots to htc logo.

Yea I flashed 5 different ones, first I flashed back to the previous release that included a different kernel, then the stable rc1, then the stable before that, then I flashed the stock rom with root. There's nothing on my phone now except stock software and root. As soon as I hit the button to turn the screen off it reboots. The real question is what exactly happens when the screen goes off that the phone isn't liking? Its speedy and everythng works great for as long as the screen remains on. Its gotta be a hardware issue if I've tried so many different roms right? Or is there some core piece of software that nightly 151 changed that none of the other roms I'm flashing are changing?

Update: if I have music or navigation on and I turn the screen off the phone doesn't reboot until the song ends or route ends! Lol wth is up with this? It only reboots on idle? Maybe processor drops too low?

Update. Phone stopped rebooting every time the "screen goes off / all processes stopped" and now only does it very randomly, almost hardly ever. Its like its repairing itself lol. Htc cyborg! New phone should be here tomorrow. I was really hoping to figure this out though. Oh well

Bugged when device is charging and off?

I can't turn on the device while its plugged in and charging while its turned off. I would have to take out the batteries everytime. Is this a bug or is it suppose to be like this?

Good thing I read through this q n a, I'm going crazy too. When I power off (to reboot after installing tons of apps, to refresh etc.) I get the battery charged icon and freezes there. Only battery pull works. I'm on Android Revolution 2.1.0 unlocked and rooted. I guess bug? Annoying, feel like I'm going to tear the cover every time and damage the screen

This happened to me too, and the battery charging icon caused burn-in. Fortunately, it went away after a day or so.

Same bug here. We'll have to hold tight and wait for a fix or run stock.
On my Fascinate you could hold the vol up and power button to get soft boot the phone, but the GNex does not seem to have this feature. I hate pulling the battery.

Same issue for me ... I think we have to open a bug tracking. This is a very annoying problem.
Android 4.0.2
Kernel 3.0.8-gaaa2611

Since my phone is new to me I wanted to power down and get a full charge.. but I can report this bug as well. /cry
Did any of you use a different rom prior to ARHD? I wonder if its something in the kernel or the OS. What allows the phone to show that animation when turned off? That could hint at what modification breaks offline charging.

I have this problem too running a revolution rom. The phone charges fine but I have to pull the battery to boot up. It's a strange one!

does this happen to stock rom? the one shipped with the phone?

No!
The bug happens with custom roms. Infact I went back to the stock rom and (even if rooted) I can charge the phone when it's turned off without having problems.

I am certain the phone still charges to 100% but it appears to be frozen. The only way to boot back up is a battery pull.
Any more info on this from anyone? I saw a 4.0.3 rom yesterday that claims to fix the issue so maybe that's the way forward.

Same here, on bigxie's ROM, if I try to boot with phone plugged in from being dead, freezes right at battery charging icon, have to battery pull. Very annoying.

I agree.... infact I will not use custom roms until the bug will be closed!

This seems to be more prevalent in 4.0.3 roms. I have a deodexed 4.0.2 rom from bigxie which charges just fine when powered off. However any 4.0.3 rom will not let me charge while off.
Not sure if it's an unintented bug but we'll have to see when the full update hits gnex officially.

I don't think so. I had the bug in a 4.0.2 custom rom

Fixed in 4.0.3 ROM/Kernel.

what and where? GSM usually doesn't apply to us CDMA/LTE users especially if it's a rom/kernel issue.

Might be related to a custom recovery. Do you guys all have ClockworkMod in common? I have a stock recovery and don't have such problems.

Abduction 2.0 Not charging & Screen off problems

Regarding Abduction ICS 2.0X.
First off, I completely wiped everything before installing and I have re-installed at least 3 times.
The battery will not charge however. it will keep the battery at the current level.
When my screen times out or when I press the power button the screen goes black but with backlight. When I press the power button the soft keys light up but still is a blank black screen. I can unlock it by sliding and I hear it unlock but still blank/black with backlight.
One thing I thought was interesting was the Rom Control option to change the lock screen background, it freezes for a second then "unfortunately Rom Control has stopped working"
Any ideas?
PS can a MOD/ADMIN move this thread to a reply in the Abduction thread so it will be answered a lot easier.(Didnt have enough posts yet to reply)
Thanks

Have you tried a different USB charger/ cord combo? or is it specific just to the Rom? I'm following the Abduction line and this is the first I've heard of this bug... But i have experienced something similar when I use a faulty USB cord.
Also did you use the voltage script or change any voltage values?

Its not the charger.
What do you mean by using the voltage script?

under the add-ons hanger posted a voltage script that changes the values of some of the voltage settings for better battery life, but it produces instability with some of the Rom.... hence a separate add-on instead of baked in. I don't think you used it. Do you have a extended battery?

Yeah definitely didn't use it.
Nope have the original regular battery.

Yes, I wouldn't flash my voltage script as I had originally made it for cm7. I need to tweak it for Abduction.
Additionally, after your clean flash (which I assume is a data factory reset, format cache partition, wipe dalvik, and format the mounts- boot, system, cache, data, and data data) did you flash a different kernel then the one that comes with it?
If your clean wipe isn't exactly as i have described above, please do that and then flash a new download of the file. I have all the roms in the event you wish to try a different version.

[Q] Q: Anyone elses HOX powers up on its own while turned off and charging?

Since the first ROM I have a strange problem, everytime I turn my One X off, plugin the charger it keeps not only charging but will power up the device to normal mode eventually - i.e. no special charging mode etc. It sometimes takes several hours but in the end it will always be on which is really frustrating.
I've tried different ROMs with different Kernels, I'm now on CM10 nightly - still it powers up magically if I have turned if off before and plug in the charger.
Does anyone else have this problem??? Any suggestions?

Same here
I've got the same issue. Exactly as you described.
I don't have any idea why is it happening - is it a hardware or software issue.
:silly:

It's part of CWM. Flash stock recovery if you don't want this to happen then you'll lose root.

What is your cwm version? Try upgrading to 5.8.4.0.

Is this on One X only because I never had that on any other device?

Mine is 5.8.4.0.

Can you try reflaehing it? Earlier versions had that problem.
Also, you can try it with twrp to see if that helps.
EDIT. I may have misunderstood guys. Earlier cwms wouldnt let you stay powered down after shutting the phone down. It would turn on even without plugging in.
EDIT2 Turned mine off. Plugged it in. Remains off so far. Will see in the morning. It certainly sounds like cwm problem. Try twrp and see if that helps.

I do already have 5.8.4.0 :-\

You are not alone, all of us are facing this one, and i think it's pretty normal.
If you drain your battery to zero, and if you start to charge it, one hour after (that's what i've noticed) it'll boot up and it'll show up your lock screen.

This is normal for the HOX?
Im completely stock, un-rooted etc etc.
And when my HOX is off, when I plug the charger in it boots the phone. But then if you switch it off whilst the charger is on, it will not re-boot up.

It still happens, I have reflashed recovery and stuff and it still turns on itself.
I just tried it over night, started with a 41% charge left, turned it off, plugged in the charger and this morning it was turned on. :'(

[Q] Anyone experiencing powering off and troubles switching it back on (charged)?

Hello guys,
I tried to search for a similar issues but I couldn't find anything similar so please bear with me.
My KF sometimes shuts down overnight. In the morning then I have troubles to switching it on again (clicking the power button, holding it for longer periods of time...). It usually helps for the tablet being connected to the charger, but it takes a few tries to turn it on. After I managed to turn it on again, for example yesterday, it had 80% of battery left.
I am using CM nighties and this is happening already for some time.
I am also using juice defender, I am not sure if that is relevant.
Do you have any suggestion, what could be the cause of this? Maybe a suggested alternative rom? Or some logs I can check? I think the powering on troubles bother me more than the shutting off overnight since I always think it won't come back on anymore.
Also, not sure if relevant. If I try to turn it on and it doesn't, sometimes the button flashes orange. After a few tries it turns green and powers on. Not sure if I am now not only confusing times, when it was simply out of juice.
P.S. On a different note, just curious, does anyone know how if there is a rom with working mic already?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I sometimes have the same issue with the power button - in fact it happened to me this morning where I went from about 60% charge to 16% with a sudden power drop.
Not sure why this happens. I thought it was a bad battery so I changed it but am still getting the problem every now and then.

the only thing that i can think of is that during the middle of the night a soft-reboot happens and it cant boot back up into the system. this would cause it to sit there and continually try to boot up. this would use a lot of cpu and a lot of power. as for why that drains battery while being plugged in, well i cant help you on that.

Thanks for the input. I've wiped dalvik, cache and the system and installed hashcodes AOSP Jelly Bean (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041694) and at least it survived this night without shutting down so maybe this helped. If I come across the same issue, I will update this thread with new info.
Thanks again,

Sounds like a hardware issue, and Amazon has been replacing those of customers who buy new from them.
Mine has this issue too. I KNOW it has battery power, and is still on, but the screen won't turn on. Only solution is to plug in power, then hold down the power button until it shuts down hard. Then turn back on.
I'm returning mine because of it.

Thanks for the info. I am still hoping this is a software issue.Regrettably I am outside o the US and thus replacing it is nearly impossible. I will see, if the issue returns with the new rom and will update the thread if it happens again, just for your information.

Try going to the WiFi settings and selecting 'never' for keeping WiFi on during sleep. This seemed to work for me.... So far it hasn't happened again.

I think this is the bug I am experiencing:
Shutdown bug stalls out the shutdown. Looks like the device is off, but it's still powered draining battery. Currently requires long power button press to fully shutdown after the screen is black (about 15-20 seconds).
from the 3.4 kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264563). I am not sure if cm 10.1 nighties contain this kernel, but the description is pretty much spot on.I couldn't test the fix (holding the button for 15-20 seconds), since I already changed roms, but if someone experiences the issue again, he can post if this works and which rom and kernel they are using.

This happens to my Kindle Fire device as well. It just randomly shuts off and it won't come back on until I do a hard shutdown then turn it back on. I currently have AOSP Jelly Bean 4.2.2_r1 on it.

Yes, it happened again to me with the same ROM, but it happens less often. I will try the updated kernel once it is finished.

On May 27, 2013, Hashcode listed the known issues of the current kernel on his website:
Sound / MIC debugging
Deep sleep issues with “omapdss_dpi” device
SmartReflex shutdown loop fix.
Charging driver / OTG improvrments

Looks like they've been identified and are being resolved. :good:
