Phone continues to lock up

Alright so ive used the search and couldnt find anything. I have a rooted s2 running eagles blood v1.1 and last night i flashed over lite'ing theme and now my phone screen will shut off and wont allow me to turn it back on, i have to hold the power button and it restarts. Ive reflashed eagleblood even recovered back to stock with just root and it continues to do it.
Any help would be much appriciated :/

Probably best to post this in the rom developer's thread. Any number of things can cause this behavior.

I would but my post count is low and i am unable to post there, so for now i am seeking help here.
ive tried un-rooting the phone, flashing the stock rom and no root, but have the same issue.

Did you wipe the caches in recovery?

Are you using SetCPU? I had this problem from a screen off profile where I could get calls or have my alarm go off yet not able to wake the screen unless I manually powered it off and on.

i have tried this already, does not work :/

I'm having the same problem on rooted stock rom. It's getting more and more frequent. The phone just refuses to come back on after going to sleep. If I plug in the power/usb cable, it actually makes the connected noise as if it's actually awake but the screen stays off.
I've uninstalled all cpu and memory tweaking apps and am still experiencing the issue.

ive tried everything, flashed over and over, un rooted, different roms etc nothing has worked so i just used zedomax's stock rom to restore the phone ( problem still continues) called tmobile and will have my replacement within a day or so, nothing else i can do i suppose.
though my problem did seem to start right when i flashed lite'ing theme for eaglesblood (not saying that caused it )

im starting to think it is a phone issue myself, going to find out Tuesday when my new one arrives though i am hoping it was an error on my part because this phone has the chance to be fantastic.

I was having random shutdowns with my 1st phone, the thing is I never did have stock long enough (rooted after 45min of gettjng) to see if it was the phone or root/rom(s).
My second phone is working great without any random shutdowns, but I'm still stock(running on second day of testing).
Gonna root and flash tomorrow and hope everything remains the same if not back it goes before my remorse period ends.
I really think it's phone related rather then a rom because I've never had this problem with previous phones.
So I would suggest on exchanging it.

i do appreciate the feed back, and from everyone who did give it. after lots of research and back and fourth between stock and custom roms i definitely wanted it to be the rom so it was fixable but im about 96% sure its the actual phone its self.

[Q] Phone starts to boot and then fails. Never heard of this...

I got my S3 last July and rooted it and installed a rom the first day. I've had zero issues with it so far outside of the occasional freeze or reboot. I've pretty much only run Task's AOKP rom. I do not think my problem is rom or kernel related whatsoever, but it seems more like some type of hardware issue.
Anyway, two days ago I was running the 4-26 version of Task's rom with the stock kernel. I did a full wipe and clean install. The phone had been running trouble free with no issues for a couple of days. Suddenly with around 75% battery, it just rebooted when I turned the screen on but kept failing and starting again at the Samsung screen or sometimes made it to the underwear kernel screen. I tried to go into recovery and it started into recovery for about a second and went into reboot again. Tried download mode and it went right in and then rebooted after a second or two. It will not stay in any mode for longer than a second or two. I've tried connecting it to the pc and put it into dl mode and it does the same. I have a usb jig and it puts into download but only for a second or two.
I'm sure I'm missing something, but any help would be appreciated.

Check the bad power button or bad battery.

Good suggestion on the power button. Would make sense, but it seems to be fine feels exactly like it should. I took it apart and even left the button off. The part of it that's attached to the motherboard is very crisp and pops right back after pushing it in. Doesn't seem to be the problem. I've tried three different batteries with the same results. Guess I'm going to the service center tomorrow. Damn

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Reboot/Screen of Death Issues

Hello, everyone, this is my first post here, and after doing much research on my problem, I haven't had much insight into solving my problem permanently. tl;dr version is at the last paragraph.
First off, I installed AOKP on my phone for the first time a couple months ago and I had no problems for two months for reboots or anything like that, and I believe my phone was overclocked to 1520 mhz on the SmartReflex voltage settings. I did not undervolt whatsoever. In this phase, whenever I would turn it on, I would get to the boot animation, then the animation would hang, and the screen would rise to the highest brightness, flicker, and reboot, or shut down.
Then, in my troubleshooting, being the idiot I was, I accidentally unplugged it while I was flashing back to stock using ODIN. I got the "Android triangle computer" A.K.A. the "Soft Brick" signal. If I booted it normally, into my recovery, ODIN mode, whatever, I would get the same signal.
So, I left my phone alone for a couple weeks, accepting failure. Two weeks ago, I rebooted again into Odin mode, and I saw that Odin on my PC still recognized it, so I connected it and reflashed the stock ICS rom. I re-rooted and installed AOKP, all was fine for two/three days.
After that, the reboots started to happen again, and after a week of constant rebooting, and restoring latest backups,I set the CPU back to normal with no overclocking. I also undervolted but left "Set On Boot" unchecked for everything, This seemed to work fine for normal use, but I still had the phone on "InteractiveX" as the governor. So, when I would go to sleep, I would wake up and the phone would not be on. I would have to battery pull, reboot, etc. I thought this had something to do with one of the cores being turned off when the screen is, so I changed the governor to "Interactive" and the phone would charge now the same.
Now, the problem is, yesterday, I was fiddling with some benchmarks and I OC'd to 1520 for fun, and the phone screen froze, rose to the highest brightness, and shut down. I didn't have it "set to boot" so I thought everything should be fine, so I rebooted and the same thing happened at the boot animation which happened to me when I OC'd. I restored a Nandroid Backup I had before I set it to 1520, and still, no dice.
I reflashed my recovery then, because sometimes it would just freeze at the Google logo and not boot into recovery at all. Then, I restored my Nandroid again, and it booted into Android. After a few minutes, it crashed with the same "High Brightness, Screen Flicker". I restored again, and this time, I rushed into the "Performance Tab" and set my undervolt settings. The phone worked smoothly until I turned the screen off, and then I got the "Screen of Death". Basically, the screen stayed black, but the notification light was still on, and there was no response. So I pulled my battery and tried to reboot, but at the boot animation, the Nexus logo goes into "High Brightness, Screen Flicker". So, I took the battery out, and the phone is just sitting here now for fifteen or so minutes while I typed this out.
My question is, has anyone been having these same issues with their GNex. Because at this moment, I'm thinking I caused a hardware defect for running on 1520 for so long previously and I fried some inner components. Any help?
Edit: I put the battery back in and still the same thing. Going to charge overnight and let it sit, but if anyone has any help, please come forward.

Bump

First off, don't bump threads which aren't even a day old.
Secondly, if your device behaves like that when you UV/OC, have you thought about not pushing it so far?? Why don't you stick to stock for a while to check for hardware failure or if it's just you?
Edit: if it comes back, install stock through fastboot. Leave Odin. Don't OC.

First post here, didn't know much about rules. Thanks for the response. My Nexus did come back, just about 5 minutes ago. I'm going to stay on AOKP for a day and if I don't encounter any problems, I'll stay on it. If I do, I'll revert back to stock.

So yeah, **** this

It was working fine until I got 3 or 4 Sleeps of Death a day until today. It just stopped working, and I restored my backup multiple times, but it would just hang at boot or bootloop. So I'm like **** this, so I flashed the stock image for 4.2.2 through Fastboot, and it still didn't boot, even after complete data wipe through the stock recovery. So, I thought it must be 4.2.2 that is doing this, so I installed the 4.1.1 and still the same result.
I'm so done with this thing, it's a hardware issue, total crap of a phone. If it is actually meant to be tinkered with and to be a "developer's phone" this crap wouldn't happen.

Random power offs

This has been happening for about 2 months now and has progressively started happening more frequently.
I've narrowed it down to a set of apps that are running when it happens.
Apps in use:
Screen On ( to keep the screen on while driving)
Waze (If you don't know what this app is stop reading now)
Play Music (Streaming through the Pioneer head unit)
It doesn't happen all the time but when it does the screen freezes for about 5 seconds then goes black and music stops the instant the screen freezes. Once the screen is black I try holding down the power button. Sometimes it'll power back on but most times I have to do a battery pull.
I've tried multiple ROM's and it still does it.
I've formatted my internal and external SD.
The last thing I still need to do is ODIN back to stock and then re-root.
Its taken me two weeks to get a logcat when the phone locks up. I'm not sure how much is needed so I'll attach the 2 hour logcat
Get Logcat here.
If someone can help me out and check out the logcat it would be extremely helpful. I can't ODIN back to stock yet because I'm on call all week and need a semi functioning phone till Friday.

I'm on stock unrooted NF4 and getting this sometimes. It happens when I am charging overnight. The next day, phone is off and I have to do a battery pull to turn it on. Luckily on those days I've gotten up before the alarm time. ?

I had similar experience when using my phone as gps device in a long distance drive. Maybe because it got hotter?

Yesterday I was at the hospital with my son (he just had his tonsils removed). We were watching a movie Netflix and my phone locked up and rebooted 4 times within a 30 minute span. I finally had time afterwards to Odin back to stock and updated to NF4 then CFautoroot, TWRP latest and flashed Hyperdrive. I had hoped all was good but when i was cleaning out my car (streaming to the BT stereo) it locked up 10 minutes into my playlist.
Should I take it back to T-Mobile? Is there something else that I can do to troubleshoot?

Are you guys using any cpu apps?

Not that I'm aware of. I am using the compulsive kernel that is bundled with the latest hyperdrive.

Kernel issues, try other kernels.:good:

If you have a custom kernel, don't use setcpu in addition with the specific cpu governor app for that kernel. Also, don't set you minimum at 300 or lower. It's been documented to cause random reboots.

Not using setcpu. Was using the Hyperdrive tweaks to control frequencies.
I tried the latest compulsion kernel and within an hour it restarted twice. Tried the latest leanKernel and still rebooted. I guess I could go to stock, but I hate that music via bluetooth skips constantly on stock kernel.
The reboots are happening now at complete random, sometimes I'm using the phone other times I have the phone sitting on my desk and I'll look down and its at the Galaxy splash screen with the seandroid is not enforcing at the top.
I'm kinda lost at what it might be...I don't think its the ROM, and I'd really like to stick with hyperdrive just because for what I want in a ROM its all there.

if u want to try something, when u ODIN flash the firmware, after it boots up, I ODIN flash TWRP then use my Stock Odex not rooted roms,then if u want root just flash SU from chainfire and install busybox,from the playstore, keep a copy on the sdcard and install.. and LEAVE the STOCK KERNEL, I use stock kernels and have no issues this way,
make a copy of my rom, remove the files u don't want from system/app and system/priv-app then flash that rom and SU right after that install busybox, and test that way. if u want I also have on the 3rd page a tethering rom, I have all the version, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51812491#post51812491
try it out, If u have problems, try not restore any data if u use titanium backup..

[Q] Phone Keeps Soft Rebooting

I'm using a T-Mobile Samsung Note 2 w/ Gummy Nightlies installed currently
Gummy: M3.0-09-02-14-NIGHTLY-t0ltetmo
The problem I'm running into happens consistently but not at predictable intervals. When the phone powers on, every so often while I'm using the phone, whether it be using the internet, browsing through Instagram or Twitter, or just scrolling through the apps my phone will perform a soft reboot.
I've tried multiple ROMs, stable releases, ROMs that aren't CM11 based, nothing seems to fix this issue.
Can anyone shed some light on what might the problem be and possibly a fix?
I'm not sure what else to include that might help anyone with diagnosing the problem, but if there is something that I forgot, I could definitely get you that information.

Have you noted this issue on TouchWiz Roms or is it happening on AOSP Roms exclusively?

It hadn't happened on TouchWiz ROMs, but this just started happening about 2-3 weeks ago. I havent used a TouchWiz ROM in months. I've gone from OmniROM to LiquidSmooth to PacMan, to the most recent Gummy. From what I can remember its happened on the two latter ROMs.
It's strange because, I've called T-Mobile to have them send out a replacement battery, I figured that was the issue. I've had no issues with soft reboots while the phone was plugged into the charger, only when unplugged.
T-Mobile decided to just send me a new phone, so I reflashed to stock and im using my phone to send this message with no issues. So maybe AOSP problems?
What can I do to fix this?

Easy answer is stick with TW. That or try an older AOSP build and see if your issues go away. It may be that a specific commit messed with a setting you are running and issues start. I would do a wipe on the offending rom, avoid restoring data via titanium and see if the issues return.

The funniest thing just happened, it did it on the stock Firmware. My best guess would still be the battery. Good thing T-Mo sent the phone via Priority Next Day Air. I'll have it some time tomorrow

UPDATE: It now constantly just gets stuck in a boot loop when unplugged from the charger, but when plugged into the charger it has not a single issue. I've ordered a battery from Amazon, but I would still love to know what the issue might be. For example, I want to know why the battery isn't working correctly.

Did the new battery work?
I've got a similar issue ...
I was running Liquid Smooth 3.2 (4.4.4) with TWRP v2.7.0.1 and up until about a month ago, my 2 OEM batteries worked fine.
I was going to head out for the night, so I swapped to battery #2, it went into a boot-loop.
I thought it was a ROM issue, so I reflashed the ROM and still had the boot-loop, even after charging the battery to 100%
It wasn't until the next morning that I re-installed battery #1 and the phone booted fine.
Every time I swap to battery #2, the phone goes into a boot loop.
I ordered another OEM battery from Amazon and the phone goes into a boot loop as well.
The battery contacts on the back of the phone look fine.
I used the following procedure to delete the battery stats and it didn't help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38500258&postcount=8
I also switched to the JEDI Open Source Project (4.4.4) ROM and only battery #1 works.
I just removed battery #1 from the phone with it plugged into a charger and it remained powered up. I then installed battery #3 and it worked fine. When I rebooted the phone it went into a boot-loop again.
