Reboot problem. Please HELP!

Hi all! I have a big problem with my Desire HD, since some time ago, it randomly reboots. It happens mostly when I have low battery, 15% or less, and only happens when I'm using it, but I didn't found any pattern. The screen freezes a few seconds, and then it automatically shows the power on bootanimation...
Until now I used the default ROM, and then LeeDroid HD without any problems. I recently installed RCmix3d runny 4.0, and within days started to do this. Thinking it was the ROM, I changed to Virtuous Affinity, but it seems to do the same thing...
I hope someone can help me, I need it!
Greetings to all!

I've already done it when the charge was at 100%, is it right?
That makes no changes...

think this is because of the "power prompt". (i m not using sense at the moment so can't tell u where you can find this but should be under settings somewhere)...turn it off!!

hmm what do you mean with "power prompt"?

This may sound silly, but try removing and reinserting the battery.

How many apps do you have? I have the same problem (sent it for repair) and I think that when the phone is "empty" or has little apps, all works well, that the problem starts when I install more apps. It didn't happen for several months when I bought it, and then, as I installed apps, it happened once. Then again in a month. Then it happened regulary alike 1-2-3 times a week. After flashing RUU to Sense 3 (even though it was clean install even formatted the SD card) it worked fine for 2-3 days, and when I installed like 300 apps, it started rebooting and I got it to the stage where it reboots every 5 minutes or so....

I'll try uninstalling some apps then, thanks!

Try refreshing the battery fuel gauge. what you need to do is download battery refresh from market, delete the batterystats.bin file and then use the app to drain the battery to zero until it dies. Charge it to 100% with the phone turned off and see what happens.

I suppose you have to be rooted to delete batterystats.bin ?

Thank you for your advice, but I don't think that's the cause, because I calibrated the battery a several of times... I'm tired of this error, so I'm moving back to a ROM with Sense 3.0 instead of 3.5, since is the only common cause I found. Thank you all anyways!

Bluetooth not turning off

Hi guys
I've been getting fairly decent battery life, however am now connecting my phone to the car daily via bluetooth.
I've noticed some battery drain and after checking the built in battery stats and also better battery stats app, my Bluetooth is not turning off when I'm selecting it.
IE, connected on the drive to work, get to work, disconnected then turned off, but showing as constantly on.
Any ideas what could cause this?

I have noticed the same thing when viewing battery stats although I never use bluetooth and it's always off.

Any updates or anyone else having the same problem?
I also noticed it just a minute ago. gsam monitor tells that bt was on for 6hrs+ which is the exact same time with phone radio.
Earlier this week connected to my boss' car radio for bt aux, this is the first and last time I used bt. Switched it on&off from settings, nothing changed.
SH26CW, running 4.0.4
Might be useful to give the serial no's since it is useful information about the production site and date.

Same issue here, and same Android version. GSam always reports the same Bluetooth on time as the time unplugged, ie. it's saying that BT has been on all the time, while it's clearly off. I've tried different ways to switch off BT (using widget, using settings, going into Airplane mode and back) but to no avail.
Part of me is suspecting that GSam might be reading the wrong value and falsely reporting it as Bluetooth. But perhaps someone with a different battery monitoring app could check on this and confirm?

It is a bug, to solve it you will need to restart your phone.
This is the only way I find to solve this on stock 2.17/Android 4.0.4.
This bug is caused by turning your Bluetooth on and off.

I faced the same problem? But does that use battery? Actually.the Bluetooth is off.

Hmm, user fault then hheheheueh
the strange thing is, it does not consume battery at all. ok it's not connected to any device but I would think it would consume more than just %1.
may be non-discoverable makes it use less. not broadcasting anything.

A restart sometimes fix the problem but not always. Today I had bluetooth turned off then after restarting by four hours my device reports that bluetooth has been on for 4 hours even though I didn't turn it on and it shows that it's off.

I do find a reboot fixes it, but I don't want to have to reboot my phone every time I get out the car.
I'll get my serial number when I'm home and see if its the same

I'm now having a chat with HTC live support about JB update and also asked the question about BT off issue.
He said, please follow the following steps.. Waiting for what he'll say..
So he suggested booting in safe mode, going to applications? >> manage, uncheck.. ? I'm not familiar with safe mode so I cannot surely say what he is talking about.
Has anyone tried this? Did it work?
So he sad that this will solve if an application is triggering the problem, but I haven't used any applications that use BT.
So, the next suggestion is factory reset, bullsh*t. sorry guys =)
useless post may be, but confirms that HTC official support has no fixing for this.

Hahaha, that's funny and more towards Apple ideology.
Bluetooth was designed to be efficient. But, if its running then it consuming energy ,and that's something I don't like.
I already checked logcat/kmsg ,but nothing about this Bluetooth issue.
I didn't see anyone on JB came to complain about this, let's see what the offical JB has to offer.

Try to disable "fastboot", and give it a try.
I am afraid nothings more can be done on stock, other option is to wait for JB and hope it already fixed.

Safe mode is a mode in Android, that will will disable all the 3rd party installed apps. Similar to safe mode in Windows. After your turned on your phone, just press on the volume key and it will get you there.
Beside that, I never trust customer support, and I never had a good experience with any of them.
The only good thing is about companies offering customer support, is they add job opportunities into the economy.

This problem just crept up on me. I noticed the battery was lower than normal, I checked BBS and it seems like BT never turned off. A reset would solve the problem until I turn BT back on again.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed with 4.1?

It seems so, at least on my One X G Sam is now reporting the correct BT on-time, whereas pre-JB it was continually on, clock ticking even after turning it off.

Update messed up S3 ... need help

ok so i finally bought an S3. i updated the software today from tmobile. but the update gave me 2 problems:
1 - the dialing rules dont work. for example, i call a chat line. after the number is dialed, the dialing rule dials a pause and 3 numbers automatically. this works. but when i try to dial additional keys manually, the dialpad doesnt work. this never happened in the previous version. how can i fix this?
2 - the battery drains like craxy. how can i revert back to the previous version?
by the way, is this the jelly bean update from tmobile for the S3?

It might help people help you to know what update this was ... ??
Look in your phone settings and see what you're running ?

directly from Tmo it only can be Jelly Bean. at the moment.
issues after updates on android is familiar. Factory reset your phone is the quickest way to fix it.
Turn off Google Now. My phone's battery goes back to normal now.

They weren't sure if it was JB, so I was a bit worried for them.
I wanted to be able to use Google Now's location features, and having set it to mobile data only (no GPS), it hasn't put a significant drain on the battery and I'm pleased with the results.
@OP, I was having horrible battery drain after the update, myself, but after messing with the settings and waiting a few days it's back to normal. Turn off Google Now if you don't want it and give it a few days - I don't know the technology behind it, but giving it a few days did seem to do the trick like others had said in the big battery life thread.

hi pennycake. but where do i find Google Now? i dont see it anywhere in the settings.
also, i found this link about how to revert back to a previous firumware.. please let me know what you think:
androidromupdate.com/2012/08/25/restore-back-t-mobile-samsung-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999-back-to-original-ics-4-0-4-t999uvalh2-stock-firmware/

If you go in the app drawer and find the "Google" icon, that will take you to it. You can also change the location preferences in "settings".
Personally, I wouldn't bother reverting unless there's something other than battery life that's really bothering you. Jelly Bean didn't have much in the way of big cosmetic changes and by turning off the location tracking, battery life should be the same as it was before. I don't think the average user will notice much of a difference.
See if the factory reset fixes the glitches you're having - when flashing a ROM (like the older firmware), you would want to do that anyway - it's possible to brick your phone flashing ROMs - not to scare you, but you might end up starting from a wipe anyway, if that doesn't go as planned.

hi pennycake. just to let you know, theres nothing worse that bothers someone than poor batt life. and other than that issue i got, i'm also having the dialing rules issue which doesnt let me dial extra digits manually after the dialing rule completes. this is very annoying.
i understand the risk in reverting back to the previous firmware. its just that if factory resetting doesnt work, i got to go back to the last fw. what i dont understand is why samsung or tmo would allow an update that disabled needed features.. and above all, mess up the batt life?

Trust me, I was pretty frustrated when I was losing 3% an hour on standby - and in use, I was just watching the battery go down another percent every time I glanced at it!
It's such a change from what many
People are used to that it ought to be better explained.
As for the dialer issues, I'm not sure if that is an issue with jelly Bean itself or not.
With every phone being a little different, sometimes things they don't expect can go wrong.
Hopefully you will get it sorted and be back to enjoying your phone soon!

Phone crashes

I've had an HTC One M8 for 4 days. The phone is amazing, however something is making it reboot randomly. Today I've been testing it quite intensively, installing most of my favourite apps, taking pictures, doing some browsing etc, and the phone has crashed three times. I don't think it has anything to do with the app I happen to be using at the time of the reboot, as it's been a different one each time, and there's been reboots at night as well when the phone was idling. Temperatures have been normal all the time (< 35ºC).
Anyone having similar problems? Any ideas on how to find out what's causing the problems?

G3 5.0 battery drain

Hi not been on here for a while as I had a great phone and not needed to alter anything (g2) but I've had a g3 for the last few months and it's been nothing but trouble. 5.0 finally fixed the lag :thumbup:. But now my battery life seems to be going twice as fast as before and it's not worth using yet again. Android system is draining roughly 30% of my battery more if I don't have the screen on. Any suggestions on anything to try? I'm currently backing up what I can to do a reset. As I haven't done a reset since back when I had my o3d can anyone recommend an app to use for backing stuff up without root? And anything in particular that I may loose and need to keep an eye out for? Thanks from a very frustrated g3 owner

I upgraded to 5.0 and had the same battery problem, so i reset the phone TWICE. Now battery is lasting more. since I use a sd card I never make backups of my internal memory.

Ok thanks I have reset mine and have got most of it restored now was mostly worried about apps and settings. Haven't really had chance to see how it goes on battery life yet fingers crossed. Thanks

Try @spiderio script. Flash it on recovery. It only works with stock kernel.

Just an update a factory reset appears to have cured it could still do with a couple of normal days use to confirm that it's not just placebo effect though. I'm assuming the above script is for root which I have promised myself I won't do until warranty is out but that does remind me that my g2 is now 14 months old may have to root that

I am having a few issues since upgraded to 5.0 yes battery drains in no time, but also having a lot of problems with my wifi, it always disconnects sometimes disconnects and then doesn't see wifi networks for a while, also becomes laggy - LG says there are not issues with the G3 and told me to factory reset(which I've already done!) so now they offered a repair?
I think it is an issue with the rom rather than something to repair!
I've heard the only way to roll back is flashing a rooted 4.4 but how do I do that if I am stuck with an unrooted 5.0 which doesnt have root yet? ?

To be honest my lag seems fixed by 5.0 but battery life was useless. Lag from New was awful though and I'm not sure what to make of WiFi I think it still does that but I'm not sure
