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.
I just get the cheap ones off eBay you get a lot for a couple dollars.

Which is awesome if you like having extremely shoddily made potential bombs/incendiary devices in a $500 phone in your pocket close to your gentelmans area... me? I pay the ~$20 for an OEM battery... lasts longer than those things too

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.

the battery was almost dead last night and i plugged it in before i went to bed, when i woke up phone would not respond had to pull the battery to get it to come back on, only thing i did different was use my old blackberry charger and set an alarm , any ideas?
Is this stock rom? Rooted? Are you running Setcpu? Could be sleep of death in SetCpu if you didn't set it right.
its completely stock still,not rooted .the battery didnt fully charge also when it happened.....no set cpu

What are the settings for sleep of death? I am running SetCPU and on two occasions I haven't been able to turn the phone back on. Had to do a battery pull.
Do you have a screen off profile? Sometimes if you set the clock too low during screen off it will cause it to just go into a "sleep of death" at least I've had it happen once or twice before I fixed it.

maybe the usb plug did not connect properly?
because that has happened to me a couple of times already with other phones
Did this only happen while charging?
mine shuts down at any given time, I'm gonna exchange next week.
Just trying to see if a rom fixes it, which at this point doesn't so I guess back to the store.
It sucks because my screen ain't messed up like a lot of folks are saying and yes I did the test.

after I flashed EB, it went a full day without a reboot, then they started again.
Still reboots randomly threw the day. Went back to stock, no difference. Samsung support knows nothing, T-Mobile is more clueless. Can't return to the store anymore (past 14 days) so I guess I need to do a exchange threw T-Mobile. (at least its prob too soon for a refurb)
had the same issue, believe you posted in the thread i made about it, from talking to reps at tmo and a little research this seems to be a problem with the phone its self, getting my replacement tomorrow and will run it stock for awhile to see, and trust me when i had this issue with the first one i tried everything (root, no root, different roms, etc etc)

Yup, same w/ the root, no root, different roms... I got my replacement yesterday, so far no reboots at all. Keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way, holding onto my original for a few more days.
Road trip yesterday, using telenav app for GPS on my E4GT and noticed when cell signal was low, the menu button seemed to go crazy and phone was unresponsive. Searched here, but it doesn't seem to happen to everyone.
Is it hardware related? Should I get new phone? Does it happen with ICS?

This happens to me when signal is low, my thought process is that if it's searching for signal, the cpu is prioritizing that rather than keeping track of the menu button.
Was your battery life terrible, by chance?
I have the telenav app too - I haven't really used it much, I usually use the Google navigation.
However, right after the update, on first boot, Telenav appeared and said "updating" and hung - I had to battery pull, which made me nervous about Telenav on ICS.
And, my first day, I got about 6-7 hours LESS battery life than I had previously.
I'm strongly leaning towards simply uninstalling it.
Barry life great, 10-15 hours on EL29 rooted, CWM. thinking about rooted ff18 w CWM, but love good battery life. I use it all day for work.
Freaking menu spaz is driving me crazy. I'll get rid of it if its a normal problem in low signal areas.
It did it without using telenav as well. Heck, its doing it right now. Very frustrating.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Its a problem with the screen itself. I had that but it would happen regardless of battery life.
Just ask them to replace the screen/fix the screen.
Took it to sprint store today, they wanted to know if I had rooted it, said they would have to factory reset it. then if the problem continued, I could come back. Left the store, walked around a nearby big box store and it started again. Went right back, they said a replacement phone would be here in five to six days. Forgot to ask if I could have one in a box there. No charge, just got the phone two weeks ago.
Tech did mention that lots of people were bringing in the E4GT to have the ICS upgrade removed because it wasn't working as good as the GB.

I went a couple of days ago and was told that I was the second person to arrive that morning mentioning an issue with the newest update causing issues. I had 3 problems going on with my phone but this was the main issue. I had unrooted the phone and reset everything before I walked in so I wouldn't have them go through the trouble of doing that and waste time. I told them I have tested many things: flashing roms, modems, even PRLs (I knew the tech, so I was open about these things). I've had this issue for well over a month now and I got used to it but wouldn't mind getting it removed. I have done my own experiments and none seem to resolve it.
Their internal forums don't know what exactly is the cause of this "phantom menu press" but they are aware of the new ICS causing it. Their 2 solutions was either replacing the screen or a new phone. Although I was happy about a new phone (my phone has seen the concrete a couple times), I was hoping to see a fix at that moment.
Next time you go to the store, ask them to have the screen replaced. It could be that it is a faulty screen (sensor wise). I work for an engineering company and it is unbelievable how many new parts arrive faulty or with intermittent problems from the manufacturer.

I have had this problem since GB, it seems to happen when you have low signal and on 3G...I hardly use 4G but I have noticed this issue doesn't happen on WIFI...try a day or two without using 3G in the areas where you get low signal and let us know

Can somebody tell me what is going on with my phone??? Every so often I completely lose service and then my phone turns off. When I turn the phone back on the battery is completely drained. It just happened...before turning off the battery was at 97%, but when I turned it back on the battery was down to 5%. I've had my phone for over a year, but this just started happening in the past month.
I was running Unnamed 2.0 (GB) with EL29 modem and kernel up until last week. I tried Blazer v4.01 (GB). I just switched to the newest ICS version of Blazer with FG31 modem and rom. This has happened on each of these setups. Like I said, I was running the UnNamed - EL29 setup for a while without any problems. I've read about the loss of service bug with our phones, but I thought that was resolved a while ago.
Is there any zip file that can be flashed to resolve this? Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

How long have you had the rom?0
It started happening when I was on UnNamed 2.01...i ran that for close to a year without any problems. I just tried Blazer GB and ICS about a month ago.
I installed the Los file from another thread but that hasn't helped.
Could it be a virus on the phone?
Should I start with a completely new install of the ROM, kernel, modem and apps...rather than restoring previous backed up versions?
Start fresh, stock rooted rom and run for a few days.
Possibly bad battery or charger also, it happens.
How much over a year have you had it?
Wonder why...

Yup, first it LOS, then flicker followed by turning off with no power down animation, reboot and battery is at or below 5%, shuts off again, won't reboot this is the biggest clue that the battery has pooped the bed. The battery can even still test as good, receiving and returning proper voltage but the battery is fubar if its bulging. Sprint corporate repair centers will replace free if they have one in stock, otherwise order an anker on amazon/eBay and then contact Samsung support they will email you a shipping label, you send them the battery and they will send you a new OEM battery and you end up with 2 for the price of the anker. This is the route I had to go took 10days to get my new one from Samsung from the day I mailed it til I received the new one
Edit: according to the guy I spoke to at Samsung they warranty the batteries for 18months instead of the 12 they warranty the device itself. Anker also warranties their batteries for 18months as well

I have the exact same issue.. my battery will be fully charged, then ill do something on the phone, it flickers, then restarts, and battery is completely dead..
I went to sprint, had them check my battery and they said the battery is fine...
Today my phone did this again, then when it restarted, all the setting I had on my messenger app, had all been reset, and so I had to do those all over again. And all the apps, that I had in folders I made, were now all out of the folders and I had to put them all back again. So frustrating.
As stated before though, the battery may test as good but still be bad. Happens with cars too and very often actually. I'd just go back to the store and not back down until you get a new battery. This is a common issue and they know it.

The battery may test as functional but as soon as you can prove it's bulging - hence the spin test - they can't disagree that the battery is failing and requires replacement.

So here's my story...
I hated the new ICS official update that sprint rolled out because of my diminishing battery life. So i decided to finally root the phone and install some roms. Everything went well for the past week but now my phone screen flickers and then my phone shuts off when i still have around 80% battery life left. I try to turn it back on and it loads up the boot screen but sometimes it fully loads the phone and sometimes it doesn't. When it does load ... my battery life is chopped to like 20% or maybe 5%. I calibrated my battery after the flash like someone told me to do but it still didn't work. I thought it was the rom i was using but I flashed 3 different roms and I still have the same problem.
I'm wondering if it's something wrong with my battery or my power on my phone? When the phone is charging it doesn't flicker and shut down on me.
Did anybody else have this problem? Is this considered a SOD? Wondering if I should get a new battery and see if it works. Also... is your battery flat? Mine seems to be a curved a bit in the middle back and front and i don't remember it being like that.
THANKS FOR THE HELP PEOPLE!!!! I really need it
Spin the battery on a flat surface and if it continues to spin, its bad. From your description of the back if battery, it sounds bad. Take it to a sprint store and get a replacement.

This is just the effects of ICS. Go to to your sprint store , they should replace it free. Consider a custom Rom to remedy the issue.

It happened on every rom i flashed.. but this is what i'm on now.
Rom version Blazer FF18
kernel version 3.0.15-sph-d710.ff18-cl663858
Baseband version FH13
I am trying to underclock the phone now and see if it solves any problems till I get a new battery. Realized that while the phone is plugged in... it doesn't flicker and shut down on me. So maybe if i lower the power consumption, it'll work. But it's just an idea I came up with.

Your experiencing a condition that's clearly battery related, while phone is plugged in it clearly shows that the problem is the battery. Making changes and undervolting may just complicate things, I would wait for a new battery before going any further.
You need a proven rom to start with, ask around and see what works for others and give yourself a fresh start. I would recommend going back to stock gingerbread el29,and trying it out for a week or so, then go from there.

Will do. Just ordered a battery. Hopefully it is a battery issue because I am not due for an upgrade yet. Thanks a lot for your advice!
It's the battery, I have the same issues right now and if I use a different battery they instantly disappear.
And you're right about lowering the power consumption, for me it only happened with 4G enabled together with the capacitive LEDs. Disabling one or the other made it go away.

Hello,
I have been fairly involved in following this forum, and I think it is undoubtedly the best resource for this phone on the internet. Take a minute to hear my plight:
I bought an ET4G the day it came out in the States. I have tried several custom roms and play with kernels all the time.
About, I'd say...2 months ago, the phone started rebooting itself once a day. Sometimes, the screen lights up by itself while the phone is sitting untouched! The problem got progressively worse, until the phone was rebooting 15 times a day. I installed a fresh stock ROM (rooted), a NEW battery, and the problem went away but started to slowly creep back. At this point, I went back to the stock kernel (was using Agat's), and the problem STILL HAPPENED.
So, I installed a fresh stock ROM, this time unrooted, kept TouchWiz instead of Apex, and did not install any freaking apps, except for the BARE minimum. This time the phone did not turn off. It seemed to have fixed my issue. My speculation was that my phone, for some reason, didn't take the voltage under load quite well. So, I spoke to my friend (who is a Store Manager at a corporate Sprint store,) and he was very kind to help me out in getting an exchange so that I could use the phone the way I was using it (after all, I was still within the 12-month warranty).
It's now been 1 week, and the only modifications I've made have been to install Agat's kernel. THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK in the replacement phone. So, as a last resort, I undervolted the damn thing -50mV, and even went ahead to underclock it using ExTweaks to 1100 MHz. STILL HAPPENS. I go back to stock kernel, uninstall all tweak apps, STILL HAPPENS.
So, I install a fresh ROM, it gets fixed, gets progressively worse, and then THE PROBLEM COMES BACK.
I'm going crazy, XDA. I just want to have a working phone until July 1st when I can upgrade. Is there any way I can diagnose what exactly the phone is doing when it reboots by itself, and what it's doing when the screen wakes up by itself when untouched? Other tips, suggestions, or anything else that could lead to a resolution?
Note: The phone reboot slightly less often when using stock kernel vs. the latest Agat kernel (0.6.7). It also appears to occur less often when I use default touch-wiz. Lastly, the problem goes away after a flash for almost 24 hours, and then it starts creeping back.
Why did you use undervolting as a last resort if your phone had problems? It would only make things worse

I mean, I've had the new phone for a week. I haven't done anything crazy with it, and it's already doing weird stuff.
I never over-clocked either of the phones, and once I learned under-clocking was known to help, I tried that last.
There has to be a way to diagnose this thing:
I've been monitoring the last seen services before shut-down, and the last 2 active services on the last shut-down were:
1) [dhd_dpc]
2) system/bin/surfaceflinger
My phone did that and I ended up getting a replacment. Stupid referb had a problem with the CPU. New phone works perfect

I will return the phone to the store once again in hopes that a replacement gives me a better experience. I'll report with updates.
