This is the third time this has happened, when my phone battery completely dies I can not simply turn on the phone after it has charged. It will simply be stuck on the boot screen for hours on end if I let it. The only way I have been able to get my phone usable again is from a reinstall of the stock ROM or a custom ROM. I have tried wiping cache, but I will still get stuck on the boot screen until either the phone dies or I pull the battery.
Normal behavior or a defective phone?
Wich rom are you on? Try flashing another kernel.. I had that issue with stock jb.. Flashed francos and the issue its gone..

First time it happened I was completely stock 4.0.3. Second time I was on a slightly modified 4.0.4 ROM with a franco kernel. Now it happened on 4.1 w/franco kernel. I will try flashing the same kernel over and see if that helps.
Try doing a fresh install meaning wipe data/factory reset.. Wipe cache /wipe dalvik and don't forget to make a backup of your apps and data just in case

A full reinstall (wipe data/factory reset) is the only way to get out of it it seems like. But this shouldn't be normal behavior, right? Happened 3 times in the 2 months I have had the phone, no other Android device I have owned does anything like this.
I had similar issues with the GSM model. Along with when switching Bluetooth on it does a soft reboot. I suggest sending it back under warranty as it is most likely faulty hardware if the software changes makes no difference.

Hey all, I have only been flashing custom ROMs onto my G2 for about a month now, so this might be a dumb oversight. Ever since RC4, I have had an issue where every single time I reboot or power off the phone and power it back on, I get the HTC screen for a few seconds and then the CyanogenMod 7 splash screen with the arrow going round and round. And that's it. Even overnight. Now the ROM runs BEAUTIFULLY all the time. No GPS, Google Sych, or Battery Life Issues. Love it, so any help that would allow me to stick with this ROM would be great.
I am running CM 7.0.0
.26 Radio
the base CM7 kernel (2.6.32.28)
Overclocked to 1017Mhz
What should I do to get this issue to stop?

Have you tried a full wipe and then reflash? What rom did you come from? A few details about those things might make it easier for people to help u
dont send me pm's crying about how i hurt your feelings in a thread
I came from the stock post-ota ROM. I did a full wipe when I installed RC4, but I haven't since, just wipe data then re-flash. Should I wipe everything - data, cache, dalvik, etc and then re-flash? Of course Nandroid before...
just cache and dalvik was enough... no data wipe needed (at least.. I haven't needed that before)
But I still need to re-flash the ROM after I clear cache and Dalvik though, right?
Well, apparently, that worked out. Everything is humming along just fine. Thanks a lot for the help everyone.
So I am having a really strange problem recently with my phone, was wondering if I should unroot and return it or if it is something I am doing wrong. Basically what it boils down to is if I power my phone off from the menu or pull the battery, etc. upon powering back up it just Hangs on the HTC Evo 4G white splash screen indefinitely. I have let it sit as long as 15 mins without booting before, having seen this before in the past I know not to panic now but I just reboot into Recovery and wipe my cache and dalvik cache every time I reboot and my phone reboots back into sense in no time at all.
I know this is not normal, is there something I can do to troubleshoot this problem or is this is a sign of hardware failure?

I've never seen that before. Interesting. What rom are you currently using? Do you have an unusually large amount of apps installed? The first thing I would do, is make a nandroid backup of your current setup, and then do a full wipe and flash a format all.zip, then reflash a different rom. Or just simply restore a nandroid of a known good setup, and see if the problem persists. If it stops, I'd say it was something specific to the rom/kernel/setup that you were running before. If it continues happening on a clean install of a different rom, then I'd probably unroot, restore to stock, and then see if the problem continues. If it does, take it to Sprint. If it stops, and everything is fine, re root it and start over. That's just what I would do, but I've never been presented with an issue such as that.
I appreciate the advice, I'm running Sprint Lovers right now been running it for a few months now, I don't have an unusual amount of apps installed but I did notice that the problem seemed to start occuring when I changed the Kernel. I will try your advice and see if that fixes the problem. I've been wanting an excuse to try the new Gingersense rom anyways.

If it started happening right after you swapped out the kernel, that could be the culprit. If you want to try the gingersense rom, I'll all for it, and will tell ya that they ran super incredibly smooth for a factory rom. However, if you don't feel like changing roms just yet, maybe try a different kernel. I'd be suspect of that, if the problem started shortly after changing to a different kernel. I say try out a gingersense rom, you shouldn't be disappointed (unless your phone still hangs at the splash screen upon reboot, lol).
Everything has been fine until yesterday morning, when at work I realised my phone was rebooting every 3 or 4 minutes.
I hadn't changed anything, I hadn't flashed anything, I don't O/C my phone. I'm usins AOKP Milestone 3 with Immoysen Kernel.
I've tried -
Reflashing AOKP with no custom kernel
Wipe & flashing CM9 Kang
Wipe & flashing MCR
When I tried to make a Nandroid of MCR (as it seemed to be okay for an hour or so) it gave an error when it got to backing up the data partition. Could their be a corrupt bit of memory there?
Also, at one point I think it might have reset while in recovery, which makes me think it's hardware, not software.
Today I've tried -
locking and unlocking the bootloader
Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Lite
Wipe and flash AOKP B23
Generally it seems to be better after a wipe and a fresh install, for a little while, but then seems to start rebooting again later.
I locked and unlocked again around an hour and a half ago and all seems good at the moment, but I thought I'd post still to see if anyone else has had this happen or see if anyone has ideas of how to de-bug it should it come back?
I had this problem after upgraded to 4.0.2. Fresh install did solved this somehow but last week it came back again when dial starts...
Tho it seems un-checked all options in location services would not reboot during or after the call
Hope this info could help u
Thanks. Well, 6 hours since I locked the bootloader and unlocked it again (to wipe everything, including the SD storage) and it's not rebooted once. Looks like it's fixed *touch wood*
I have random turn offs... dunno if it relates. Its a little unnerving...and annoying. No roots, no unlocks, just vanilla 4.0.2.

I had this problem in the cm10 rom. Then I flashed back stock.but the phone sometimes suddenly switches off...lik when I put in my pocket., after a few while Sometimes I see it is switched off.
Can any one tell what's wrong?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Just a note if your pockets are sweaty, hot or pretty warm don't put your pocket in there as it makes it even hotter and absorbs water, it can damage your phone...
re-flash the firmware for stock (OPTIONAL): if you want you can wipe all data/factory reset etc. using CWM before re-flashing the firmware (WHY?): Because it fixes problems/bugs that way & is always recommended before flashing anything
can you try format factory, clear cache and try another rom. If it doesn't work, i think it is hardware problem
Hey,
I have been using the ROM since version 1. I love it.
Two days ago, my phone suddenly started rebooting every 2 minutes. I re-installed the ROM after wiping everything (system, cache, internal memory, ...). This didn't help.
I have no idea what is causing that. It is driving me crazy.
Anyone knows what could be the reason?
Thanks
which ROM..?

I also am having the same problem reboot 3-4 times in a hour. first i thought it was the power. cleaned it but now it seem to always reboot coming up from sleep. .. I have try everything I can remember, wipe , reset, installing clean ROMs or changing recovery Tried New 4.3 roms and same ROM DocHoliday77 43 stock and i have us. Only have if you press the slee/power bottons
I have even changed recover
.. Help
Still it does not tell me what Rom has this issue and what Kernel ?
Based on what you have mentioned, I didn't see you mention anything about Restored apps.
Please do a System Reset and re-flash just the DocHoliday's Rom. Do not attempt to restore any apps. Please observe for a day or two to see if the problem recurs. If it does not then you can restore the apps one by one. Observe after each one to see if the problem appears.
