Hey folks
These aren't really random reboots, and they don't seem to be caused by an app. They're more like 'when I touch it the wrong way' reboots. If I set the phone down, or pick it up, sometimes it will reboot.
I checked the battery contacts so that's not it. I'm thinking its either a problem with some internal contacts, or something with the accelerometer.
Has anyone experienced something similar? I just passed my 1 year manufacturer warranty period, unfortunately.
Thanks

Hmm sounds like a hardware prob. It shouldn't be the accelerometer. Does it reboot when u are using it?
It rarely reboots when I'm using it. It will usually reboot when I pick it up or set it down. If I drop it on my bed from 2 feet up for example, it may reboot. What's weird is that its not a guarantee. In fact I've gone days without a reboot, and sometimes I'll get numerous reboots in a day.

Several people have noted there can be a problem with the battery not fitting snugly into the chassis of the phone. When you drop it, the contacts on the battery can move slightly off the contacts on the phone and it can reboot. Some people just shim the battery down a little.

I do not know how far you are out of warranty.
I was in the same situation 2 weeks ago. I was on my last day of warranty (so I thought), when I got tired of the constant reboots. I went to my local TMO store and they claimed that I was out of warranty by one day. Fortunately they put me on the phone with customer service. There it was confirmed that my warranty was out since 1 day. The person was very nice and said: "Let me see what we can do for you". She came back after one minute and offered me a waiver that would have allowed an immediate full upgrade. I told her that TMO does not really have any upgrade that I was interested in (I wanted a keyboard and stock Android), so she went back to her supervisor and came back with the offer that they would assume that my warranty would not run out on that day at 12am, but at midnight and that they would replace the phone under warranty. I have the phone now for a week AND no more reboots. TMO rocks !!
PS: I am with TMO for > 7 years
Yea tmo had some awesome customer service from my experience! I really hope they don't get bought out. Kinda inevitable though since the owners don't want it...boo!
Awesome experience! I work in Customer Service, so I know that I could theoretically get it replaced and whose arm I have to twist to get it. But I don't have the time to spend doing so. My phone hasn't rebooted in a few days now. I did a full wipe before I flashed my next nightly. I have my fingers crossed that it stays that way.

I feel silly even mentioning this, because I thought I might be the only one dumb enough to suffer from it, but I will go ahead and mention it anyhow. I was hating the reboots with my G2, and found somewhere that I needed to actually make sure the SD basket was locked in place. I had replaced my SD card, and didn't realize it slides into a locked position. Have never had a reboot since I clicked it in place. That was months ago. Hope it is something that simple for you. Yes... I know I was a dufus for not realizing how the SD basket worked.
I had the exact same problem and I could not figure it out. I finally did a complete wipe and reinstalled problem stopped. I also converted my partitions to ext4 but not sure if that would make a difference.
Could it be the radio?
I did a full wipe prior to flashing CM #231. I used titanium backup to restore my apps. Now the reboots were gone!
But my GPS problems returned. I flashed the next best radio 26.08.04.30. Last time I initially switched radios to fix my gps problem. GPS is still broke, and now I am rebooting again.

I am thinking about sending this phone back.
The reason is that when I hold my phone like normal to make a call the signal is very low .. But in the same area if I hold the phone up and down with only two fingers at the bottom of the phone sides the signal will double or more... Like 18% to about 48%.
I am doing this using the open signal app on the market.
I have heard the radio is weak on the phone but I don't know if it I'd normal to this extent.
If anyone could test this out access tell me if it does or does not happen with their phone that would be great thanks.
Also .. I have no other issues with the screen and it seems like I am getting quadrants as high as people
that have added the universal shot while I haven't done anything to enhance it. Which is why i'm hesitant to send it back without knowing if this is common with this phone.

i can confirm i do not see this behaviour
that's weird
it almost sounds like the antennae-gate issue from old iphone4 LOL
I'm not experiencing this issue either. If you have weak signal at your location, you can contact T-Mobile and ask if they can send you a signal boost device. To get it, it does require a 2 year contract. If you believe it is a signal problem, call tech support (1-877-296-9933) and ask if they can send you a replacement.
I don't see any kind of problem like that what you been having on your device may be it might be a bad Device ?
I had a slight signal problem with my first phone. The phone would drop calls even when it showed full coverage. After replacing the phone a week ago, everything has been fine. Just swap it out for another.
That's what I was afraid of ... Seems like everything else on this phone is great compared to what others have said about screen and quadrants as well. Would hate to give this up if it turns out to be common.
Thanks for the replies so far.

something you can try before you exchange the phone.
turn off NFC in settings
then power off the phone, take out the battery
hit the power button, to eat up the last of the juice
put battery back in, battery cover on
power the phone back up, and run some test for your signal just as you described on the 1st post
let us know of the results

I'm in your shoes. I drop calls every day at least 3-4 times. Doesn't matter where I'm located. I have full coverage (4 bars) and still drop calls.
I'm exchanging my phone in the morning for a new one. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem.

I may have to try this myself. Why would NFC cause the call signal to be sporadic?
I have similar issues. Just got the phone 2 weeks ago. I drop calls at least 5-6 times a day.
Even with full signal, I make a call, it drops maybe 20 seconds into the call. I call back, again it drops.
I even had a customer yell at me "can you call me back with a f%#$king phone that works?!"
very embarrassing.

How old is your Sim card? Hopefully you used the new one that came with it.
If you did use the new Sim card then call Tmobile and ask them to cancel the location and file a service request ... You will need to be on another phone though.

Are you within your 14 day return period? If so, take your phone back. My first GS2 did the exact same thing. I returned mine yesterday. The new one doesn't drop calls at all.
at completely random times during the day my menu button would trigger for a good 5 seconds sometimes and then freeze ALL my capacitive buttons. can anyone think of a possible solution?
i'm guessing its a hardware defect but i wouldn't know how to handle sprint if that's the occasion

I had problems with unresponsive capacitive buttons on my og Epic 4G. It was a manufacturing defect and was covered by the manufacturer's warranty. I'd try to bring it back to a Sprint store with a repair facility and make a warranty claim against Samsung.

Mine has JUST started doing that over the past two days... I thought it was due to a Kernel I flashed, or a faulty APK. I ONLY experience the problem while using Handscent.
hmm i see.. well 1) my buttons respond fine its only when the menu button spazzes out that all the buttons freeze which a quick toggle of the power button would fix but i could wait outside a sprint store for it to happen. i would have to return to stock everything right?
2) do individual apks have capability to mess with the buttons outside of an app? i'm pretty sure its occurred throughout multiple apps but ill past more specific attention to when they occur
thanks guys any other input would be appreciated greatly, i do love this phone very much but this glitch is eating away at me

That is the same issue I have; the menu activates, then the entire phone is unresponsive (except the power button, which puts the screen to sleep as it should) for a few seconds.
Although, like I said, I've only noticed it while inside Handscent and trying to enter type a message. I can play games for an hour and never experience it.
It *IS* rather annoying.
I've had this issue for a while and only ever noticed it once I started flashing different ROMs. In my case I can happen in any app (I don't really play games so can't say for sure about that). Email, market, whatever I get it once in a while. Like others said pushing the power button off and on fixes it. If I also wait like 5 secs and don't try to keep pushing buttons it works too.
To those of you having this issue, see if it coincides with going into a low signal area. When I was doing LOS testing in a known dead spot, I noticed this happening as soon as I started getting really low signal. Check that out and please report back. I didn't say anything at the time (it was a while ago now) because I thought I had some user error going on

Man, I am glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue. It's the wierdest thing... Eager to find a fix!
i know there was a thread about this months ago but it died because no one had a solution, this time around looks more promising!
the only rom i tend to find myself running is Calk`s and i don't believe i had any issues while i was running miui for a while but eventually i had to go back to calk because i needed 4g but it might just be an issue within the twiz framework or something
John your theory is interesting because i tend to get the issue largely when i'm at home and i have horrible service at home (i'm in the basement) and the past day I've been on the road a lot and ive yet to experience it so you might be on to something, just need some more people to test to confirm

For me, the problem started just over the past two weeks or so. I never had an issue before... Happens when I'm on Wifi as well as off Wifi.
I'm thinking I may just take it in for a warranty exchange. I've begun noticing it occasionally in other applications as well. Not the random menu button activation, but suddenly the capacitive buttons will simply be non responsive for 2 or 3 seconds.

it seems like thats the best way to go about it. frankly, im too lazy to backup all my stuff, unroot, reset the flash counter and then deal with samsung/sprint lol.
results from a couple days testing John's theory: its definitely more noticeable in low service areas and almost nonexistent when the signal is strong (i still get 1 or 2 presses from the menu button then it stops as opposed to several presses then all the buttons freeze). i dont know where to go from here... help

I have been looking at this myself. It only happens to me on the edge of a dead zone. If you have to press the softkeys multiple times in a good signal area, I would take your phone to get checked out. Some OG Epics had this issue too

I agree, but it would be best if you got it fixed by Sprint. Unrooting can be done by closely learning from this video(here, credits to QBKing77).
Mine seems to to it more often in low signal area's or switching back and forth from my airave. Havent really noticed it with full signal or on 4g but only time will tell. No root........

You shouldn't have to send it anywhere. This should fall within the manufacturer's 1 year warranty, which Sprint will honor with a $35 charge... They will (normally) order you a replacement phone and you will swap your old phone when the new one arrives... You shouldn't be without a phone at all.
I'm planning on visiting the Sprint store tonight to start the process, in fact.
After I flash back to stock.

Same thing here.
It's definitely more noticeable in low service areas and almost nonexistent when the signal is strong as has been said before.. Could be in an elevator or basement for example.. The power button solves the issue but the problem usually starts again if the service is still bad.

Please do, and keep us apprised. Iv'e just learned to live with it, but would love to know what's going on.
Just to clear everything up, here's how it works:
You have a Samsung device with a one-year limited warranty. If you'd like, you can send your phone to them for a week, pay for shipping, and maybe get a replacement.
You have a Sprint product. If you'd like, you can take it in for repair (which takes about an hour), and a technician will either fix it - or order you a replacement (which has one-day shipping). If you have Total Equipment Protection, all repairs are free. If you don't, all repairs are $35.
The only time you would have to spend more than that is if you have a phone that is damaged beyond repair (liquid damage, cracked screen, damaged motherboard, etc) - and that would be a deductible of $100 to order a new phone through the insurance company, Assurion.
I just got off the phone with Verizon today and I'm getting my fourth gnex is anyone else having issues this abundantly? First it was two phones due to faulty screens then one dropped data every thirty seconds. Now I have a faulty charging port.

I'm on my 3rd Nexus as well. First one the DAC half burnt out so I wasn't getting any audio through the earpiece and mic stopped working. Second one had faulty charging. Would charge it full and after in plugging it would still think it was charging and the phone would wake the screen by itself every so often causing huge battery drain.
The one I have now has a small problem but its tolerable. The speaker doesn't turn off immediately. There about a second or two of air and then when it does turn off it make a small pop sound.

My VZW Gnex has been fine. Every so often mine will drop a data connection, but so does every other LTE device. It's by no means wide spread.
I've been very pleased with mine so far. I'm glad to hear that Verizon is doing a good job of giving replacements to people with issues.
I have had charging issues where it thinks it is connected to charger, and keeped turning on the screen when idle. I also have problem with my headphone plug, where it sometimes thinks I have connected headphones which leads to no sound in the earspeaker and microphone turned off.
In addition I now have problems with sound only coming from one of the headphones when connected.
All this on the same phone, never returned it. Samsung QA really sucks...
Yea my charging issue is its just not charging 100% of the time. I have to do the BS bending the cord to the perfect spot

Clearly hardware issue if you've tried multiple SIMs.
Mine doesn't work. I was playing about 2 hours, locked it, went to see a friend, and when I took the mobile again, it was on "Google" logo, and never again passed from there. No Roms, no root, now I'm waiting Vodafone brings me a new one (Only 1 week old)
Well so much for great customer support. I called to get the phone sent and then they told me I could choose to receive a brand new phone in store. One guy flat out lied to me and told me that no stores within 50 miles had the phone then they had me on the phone for six hours before someone says we can only send a refurb so take it or dont. Horrible service yesterday so beyond less than pleased.

For the last two days I have experienced a faint ringing noise coming from my ear piece. The ring sounds like the phone is ringing but there is nothing that is running or any notifications. I experienced this once on my HTC evo LTE on sprint when I was still with them. The only way to get the noise to stop is to either reset the phone or make a call. It happens at random times. I have searched the Web for answers but got nothing. Anyone experiencing this or know of a fix?

I had the exact thing happen to me a couple of nights ago. I thought maybe it was caused from being on the charger. I had to restart the phone to get it to stop and haven't heard it since.

I have this problem at least once a day while at work. I've talked to Verizon and HTC over this and each time they act like they've never heard of this problem. It looks like we have narrowed it down to low signal and either trying to connect to a certain band or switching between bands. You can get the ringing to stop by switching your phone to gsm only. I have the app LTE on/off and it has been said that disabling EvDo utilizing only LTE/CDMA resolves the problem. That basically disables your 3G coverage. I will be testing it out this upcoming week.
My one did this when I got a robo call. When I answered the ringing started

Me too + solution
Mine does this too (or at least I believe it's the same thing) seemingly at random. My simple fix is to place a phone call, even to just voicemail, and it goes away right away.
It also must be hardware-related because it would even ring faintly for like 10 seconds after I turned off my One completely. It would then immediately startup when I pressed the power button even without holding it to turn the phone back one.
As a funny side note, I literally spent nearly an hour searching for the noise in my house and wondering why it seemed to be coming from every direction and following me
Only happened to me once though since I've gotten the phone.

If you didn't have fastboot turned off when you restarted the ringing won't stop, your phone doesn't fully shut down on a restart with fastboot enabled.
Took mine back to Verizon and I was outside of my 14 days but they still gave me a brand new one. Went through about three of them getting one without gaps and a good camera. Woke of this morning and this one was ringing too. I am in low service area part of my house where I sleep.

I just got off the phone with HTC and they have started tracking this problem. They asked for the location that it occurs, the MEID #, software version, and baseband #. I would advice everyone who has the problem to call HTC and report it. The more people who call to complain may speed up the resolution to this problem.
if you search for this issue with the DNA it happened with that also.
I reported it on the 3rd day the phone was out. I was driving and using it for Navagation, Pandora, and making a call (My phone didn't like me for a while when I was testing its limits) and it started making the beeping noise.
I agree it appears to either be a low service area (Since I was driving cross country) or the other thing DNA users said is it may be the internal battery temp warning, as mine was blazing hot (Obviously)
The annoying thing about this ringing is that it goes through bluetooth audio. so within pandora you could hear the ringing. A phone call didn't solve it for me. I had to turn off fast boot and shut down for 5 minutes and boot back up.
I'm thinking it has to do with low signal or switch between bands. Everytime it happens I am in the same part of my house where I fluctuate from 3g to 1x to no signal without even moving. My phone was not even being used any of the times it Happened, so I'm not thinking it is a temp issue

that wouldn't surprise me. I am very disappointed with the reception of this phone. I've had sms failures, and dropped calls. Signal seems worse than my note 2. My rezound and kids dna's work great at my house, so this is disappointing. My only guess is that the aluminum body is blocking the antenna.
Bought this on edge and am past my 14 days. Wonder if they would swap for the droid ultra.

HTC is aware of the problem
It's happened to me 3 times in the few weeks I've owned the phone. Spoke with Verizon & they spoke with HTC and told me that they are aware of the issue and looking into a fix. Who knows how long that'll take. For now we're stuck rebooting. Not necessarily a bad thing to reboot every once in a while, tho it'd be nice it I could pick when that time is.....
I can also verify that fiddling with the roaming options doesn't help.
Sure would be nice to be able to install some custom ROMs on this thing. I bet that'd fix it.....If it weren't for my unlimited data plan and the network coverage, I'd be with a carrier that didn't lock **** down so hard.
