I have a stock GN running 4.2.1 paranoid android rom and mine shuts itself down periodically. I'll hit the power button to turn the screen on and NOTHING. I don't have to do a battery pull to restart it but if I hold the Power button down 4 or 5 seconds it reboots and runs like nothing happened. When it's happened I haven't been on wi-fi either. I don't have that many apps running and can't figure out why it does it. It happened last night. Mine is never plugged in when it happens either. It makes me 1/2 crazy trying to figure out why it keeps shutting itself down. When it's running it works great without any real issues.... then the damn thing shuts itself down again. Let me know if anyone can find a reason for this strange behavior. I don't want to take it back for a random issue like this. Who knows the next one I get may be worse.

sounds like a SOD (sleep of death?)
what kernel are you running with the paranoid rom?

I have a problem with my Galaxy Nexus turning OFF at night.
I goto bed at night and open the clock app and click the screen to dim it. When I wake up in the morning the phone is OFF. I have to pull the battery in order to boot. The battery is fully charged.
I returned the phone after this happened twice and received a brand new one. I have the same problem with this new device. I have changed the power socket and the charger yet still the problem persists.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?
I have Skype installed and running which maybe the cause. I will keep it OFF for the next few nights to see if this has a positive effect.
Try it without any off your apps installed. If the problem goes away you know it's an app causing the problem. Then start adding them back in batches until the problem re-occurs. Eventually you'll narrow the issue down to one app.

This is happening to me too.
At random times, the phone will refuse to wake from sleep.
Nothing but a battery pull will fix it.
I don't have skype installed.
Have a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360880&highlight=sleep+of+death
Mine started today. Really hope this does not keep happening or I need to return this right away. Missed a few phone calls today and didnt realize until I looked down any my phone was just simply black. Will not wake up or do anything at all. You have to pull the battery. Right before this happened my data was dropping non stop about every 5 minutes for an hour.
I'm trying to stay calm because I love this phone, but between the data drops and the phone turning off im loosing patience quick.
This is happening to me as well. With TWO different phones. The first one I returned to Verizon and now its happening on the second one.
Phone will power off while doing random tasks. The two I've noticed is browsing on the stock browser and texting on the stock texting app.
I'm having the same problem. It's happened twice in the 3 days I've had the phone. It hasn't happened while I'm using it, both times it was when the screen was already off -- it just wouldn't waku up. Nothing short of pulling the battery, letting it sit, then powering on would work.
Couldn't have come at a worse time either, my daughter is in the hospital and I get updates from the surgeons via phone. So now I have to check every 5 minutes and make sure the phone is still on.
Phone is bone stock, out-of-the-box.

it does it when i have skype running too. also i have other other audio apps open. (power amp, tunein, pandora) It's happened twice to me and each time it has been during a skype call while the other apps were running. (in widget form)
shock sensitive in the area right below the camera?
My device just "randomly" switches off (sometimes several times a day). After a long search for a reproducible cause, it seems safe to say that at least some devices seem to be extremely shock sensitive in the area right below the camera (on the back of the device). Even minuscule shocks to this area switch these devices off. Youtube-user 'jardinepatten' demonstrates this problem nicely in a video called "Galaxy Nexus Turning Off".
went to hit the power button to use my phone and nothing happened... not sure if it was froze or if the power button stopped working... i held it down and nothing... was sitting at a black screen...
had to pull the battery to get it working again... has anyone had this happen? is the phone actually on and the power button stopped responding or did it shut down and the power button stopped responding?
4.0.2 unlocked... not rommed... adw launcher
I had that happen once. I went to pick it up and turn it on, and it was just dead. like it just powered off by itself.

It's called the Black Screen of Death. Usually happens when a custom kernel doesn't play nice with your phone.
I was on stock 4.0.2. No root.

Yeah it's happened to me anywhere from 3-5 times these past few weeks. Either that or it will just reboot itself randomly. I'm not complaining though... it's nowhere near as bad as my Nexus S was. Lol

this happened to me twice today for the first time ever, am on a custom rom but havent updated in a few weeks... Im seriously thinking its Chrome for android...as thats the only thing i changed recently (google voice updated too). and i seriously havnet used my phone lately other than using Chrome.
It happenned to me once since I've had my nexus. Don't even think about why
Happened to me today, screen was blank but the LED notification was blinking. Asked my fren to call me and it was ringing meaning the phone was still on. Had to remove the battery and put it back in and then it was fine.
Mine turned off on its own last night, it was when I plugged in my charger while it was turned off at the mains.. very strange.
are any of you on 4.0.4?
hopefully not
I haven't seen any shut downs or random reboots on 4.0.4 yet. It's been less than a week though, so we'll see.

The only time my phone has ever shut off with the power taking 5 or so seconds to work has been because of a music app Slacker.
It shuts my phone down randomly. I think it is not fully compatible with ICS.
This morning, I experienced something strange on my Hercules. The phone display automatically turned off after waking it up within a sec, it happened on and on. Sometimes it would last for 15-20secs then turn back off. Sometimes (very rarely though) it would power up fine and stay that w My timeout setting is 1 min, so it was not because it was timing out. This happened all throughout the morning, then it fixed itself miraculously after 2-3 hours.
I'm running the official CM9 RC2 rom. I don't think it was a software issue as luckily I had nandroid backup from 2 days back which I was able to restore, yet the issue was still there. What do you guys think? My guess is the power button was acting screwy, maybe it was not releasing properly or something.
The answer lies within the depths of your soul. When it is destroyed, only then will you find your path.

Something similar happened to me on aokp milestone 6 with the original kernel.. The screen went off and whenever I tried to turn it on it would back off again almost instantly.. Not giving me enough time even to do anything on the screen.. It kept doing it till I did a battery pull... Haven't experienced that since

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:
I have installed CM 10.1. Occasionally the screen will not turn on when I press the power button. I have to hold down the button for 10-20 seconds to reset the device to get it to power on. Happens at least 3-4 times a day. Anyone else have this issue or ideas on how to fix it? Thanks.

No one else has seen this issue?
Many ROMs have their little quirks here and there, this could be one. I use hashcode's ROMs so this is just speculation though.
I had this issue with twa_priv's rom. If I keep at the button, pushing it multiple times at different intervals, it would eventually come on. Interestingly, if I went into the developer options and put the CPU at the full 1200MHz, it didn't happen.
Not having this issue with CM (though I'm running 10.2) so not sure there.
This was a common occurrence in cm10.1 with TWA_priv's build I believe. This is called a Sleep of Death or SoD. I thought that was cleared up, but maybe not. If there is a newer version of the ROM that you are on, I recommend trying that. There is no way to recover from an SoD except to force power off like you did, and start back up.
