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.
Hello All,
Searched around.. no fix.
Just installed the FK09-- runs awesome. Every so often (on 3G--unsure if related), I get a modem crash. Says do not touch anything for 10 minutes, then reboots to a modem crash cp dump page.
I pull battery and try to turn on and goes back to cp dump upload page. If I plug in the phone, then turn on, it goes away. This leads me to believe it might be a battery issue?
I tried wiping dalvik/cache in clockwork, then reflashing FK09 kernel. I also did the one-click FK09 again also, problem still persists.
Anyone know what this could be? Any fix suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
man.. i've tried a bunch of stuff. still doing it

And have you tried the full restore yet?

Well... wouldn't hurt to do the spin test with your battery. If it spins easily get it replaced.
Other thing to consider is dumping a logcat via ADB and attach here.

yeah it spins--going to stop by sprint store on way home and hope they have an extra laying around.
just doesnt happen on any other rom/modem/kernel combination. and im a flash-a-holic.
i've already switched roms, but if sum1 wants the logcat, i'd be willing to go back and post it.
thanks for reply.
UPDATE:
I lied.. phone crashed running a stock-rooted FH13. Im gonna blame all of this on bad battery...crashed with no error messages.
This happened once, for the first time this morning, I almost thought it had to do with an email I got at the time (like maybe I it was a virus), I let the report go to 100% then did the battery pull and everything has been since... glad to see I wasn't the only one this happened to.

yeah. never happened before yesterday. first time after being on FK09-- popup comes up RILNotifier saying something about modem crash dont touch anything for 10 min.. then goes to recovery like screen with a percentage count to 100.. nothing happens. waited a bit, finally pulled battery and tried restarting. goes back to dump recovery like screen. only fix for me now is to plug it in while turning it on.
this modem crash only happens when on battery. has not happened at all today while plugged in.. can recreate error usually after about 3-10 min of surfing internet/playing game on phone when not plugged in. hopefully new battery fixes.. or asurion is getting my aged epic pretty quick here.
Just got this today. Was charging battery to move to Agat recovery and (and maybe Wizzing Beanis ROM), when I went to get my phone that should have been at %100, it was on the CRASH CP dialog. Almost looks like the ODIN dialog. When I restarted it was at 78%. Just replaced my Battery 5 weeks ago. BUT I really believe ICS screwed this battery up already. Gonna make the switch to the ROM before I replace the battery. Currently on FK09 ROM with FK23 Modem and Kernal- been using it since the day it was avail to all of us. Might just be an FK09 thing

Hi,
I have a Vietnam made Galaxy Note N7100 which is almost not usable, unit does not comes with any warranty as it is an export set. It runs on the default ROM and is not rooted. Initially the unit works well for a few hours after installing some apps and did some customisation, after I locked the phone, the phone seems to go into deep sleep. I'm not even able to shut off the phone. Worse still, taking out the battery and put in back after mins do not work. To turn the set on again, I got to take out the battery for a few hours or so, then I can start the unit again.
I initially thought it might be some software conflict, I did a factory reset and leave the phone there for a while, the issue persisted.
It is also not the battery issue as I have use the same battery on another N7100 and it works well.
Is there any advice on what can I do to remedy this issue?
Thanks

I had the same problem after some messed up rom flash. If my Note 2's screen goes off for more than 10 seconds, I wouldn't be able to wake it back up without reboot... It was basically in an unusable state. Luckily after 2 whole days of digging I've found the solution.
1. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915386
2. Scroll about 1/3rd of the way down and look for the attachment "BOOTLOADER_N7100.zip"
3. Flash the BOOTLOADER_N7100.zip with Odin using the Bootloader field
That's it!
Good luck guys. I created an account specifically to answer this question. It was a major pain in the ass finding a fix for this problem so I wanted to make sure I spread the fix on this issue so others don't need to suffer through the same thing.
SOS please
i now have the same issue where i tried the liquid rom on my n7100...as soon as it installed my phone started switching itself off within 5 secs and show a red battery light..and no love nor money can I get it on without rebooting..
i tried the bootloader in Odin after re installing the stock rom..but as soon as i select start..it fails??
Anything else?
I am also experiencing shutdowns with my Vietnam unit. I have 4.1.2 original ROM and I tried many possibilities to solve it. No success. The phone shuts off if I start an online radio (or tunein radio) and after max 2 min it shuts off. Doesn't matter if is on data plan or through router.
Had a problem of the phone freezing and had to restart the phone. Then again it would freeze after some time. Flashed stock rom with bootloader and pit but it still persisted. Sent it to the service centre and got my phone back yesterday after mb change. The new mb is with the newer firmware.

This is a real problem with the Galaxy Note 2. I built a quick site to showcase the problem and to post a video that shows exactly what is happening. I am unable to post external links, so just copy and paste the following domain in to a new browser, making sure to remove and replace the DOTs: wwwDOTgalaxynote2shutsoffDOTcom
note 2 switching off by its self
Had same problem, I switched of data, wi-fi bleutooth, gps, switched them on again 1 at a time.
Phone worked ok untill bluetooth was on again, then it shut down. I think the problem is with Bt.
I emailed samsung support who suggested i connect to kies to check i had latest firmware but i
knew i had, they also suggested a factory data restset, (settings- back up and reset- factory data reset).
Did this last week phone has been working fine since.
Hope this helps.

Same problem here, BT not working and my Note hangs every time the screen shuts off. I can wake it up immediately but after 8-10 seconds I am unable to turn it on again, must hard reset or take off the battery... No solution found so far. Flashing stock fails on sboot.bin also...
So every since the JB roms, my phone gets the sleed of death 1-3x a day. Sometimes, it will be immediately after a text message, i will see the indicator blinking,,but as soon as i hit the power button...NOTHING. It will then at that point have gone into the 'SOD'. There are other times where nothing is going on,,,and it still will randomly go into the SOD. THe only common thing is going into sleep mode cuz i havent touched it for a while.
I have been getting this on FK23,FL04, and FL16. ALL of these roms have been the stock leaks/stock recovery. Only thing modified has been addition of root/Superuser......
Could it be the phone itself??
I thought I was having this problem as well. Random turnoff and won't turn back on without a batt pull.
Turned out it was the swollen battery issue though. Check that.

Yeah I had the same issue on the stock leaks. I am now on the goodness ROM (for about a week) and has not done the SOD since.
I was using the Odin one clicks for FK and FL builds. just followed the OP for goodness installation. So in my case, it seems like the installation method was the issue.

I had the same problems with all the recent builds. It turns out that it was my battery that was causing it. Went to the Sprint Store and got a new free battery which is free if you have insurance.
I've noticed SOD (and only just heard this term from a friend yesterday) on Paranoid Android 2.54 about once every day to 3 days. Just switched to Codename Android to see if that helps (and to try something new )
BTW, instead of a battery pull, I was always able to recover by holding the power button for about 8 seconds which will force a power down, another 2 seconds and it reboots. Very useful if you have a substantial case on the phone and don't want to remove it to pull the battery.
JB fl16 is one of the few roms I have never had the sleep of death with. This is a very weird phenomenon......

This has been happening to me since switching to CM11. Every day on my commute to and from work the phone reboots when I drive through a particular area. I spent two hours in that area yesterday and my phone boot looped the entire time.
I am having the exact same problem. I thought I was going crazy, but I can literally repeat the reboots by walking to certain areas in my apartment building and on my commute to work, however not a single reboot the whole day at the office. SO STRANGE!
I'm glad I'm not the only one, I don't even know where to start, I haven't changed or downloaded anything on my phone in months.

I have done multiple roms, changed network variables and even odin'd back to stock...still happening.
I temporarily loaded stock and updated PRL and profile, yet the problem is still occurring. Logcat is useless because it rotates at startup, unless someone is aware of another way to see old logs?
I posted this on the CM thread, but figured it might help here as well. I connected my laptop on the drive home and captured logcat right up until the phone started rebooting. Maybe someone can make sense of this. Thanks in advance.

This is familiar to the problem I've been having on my phone running MOAR. The battery died while I was at my house and ever since I get constant reboots if I run DKP kernel, I flash the stock kernel bundled in the MOAR ROM and the reboots stop but I get not signal within a half mile or so radius of my house. I flashed back the stock ROM and modems and radios of all versions but nothing helps. I got the MSL code and did a reset via the ##786# menu but that didn't help. Sprint said it's probably a tower upgrade that's going on but other Sprint phones get signal/reception without any problem and they won't replace the phone because of a small crack on the screen.

I've done both resets. There's another option in ##786# that wipes everything and reinstalls the ROM and reactivates the phone. I've tried the MK3 modem with no luck. Last night I was able to get the phone into LTE only mode in the ##3282# menu after several tries and the connection was stable, in CDMA only mode it disconnects constantly and reboots occasionally, same with CDMA/LTE mode. The problem with LTE only mode is that LTE is not available everywhere yet.

Having the same issue since last week. I installed CM 10.2 and accidentally triggered the knox warranty, so can't even take it back to Sprint now. Afraid to go back to stock, as I've read that I may brick my phone. Stuck with constant reboot loop at home (unless I turn airplane mode). Has anyone found a fix? Please help... about to go to t-mobile and switch providers!
PS: Does anyone know how I can apply the ##72786# in CM 10.2? Is it possible?

I don't think dialer codes work on CM. I got the reboot loops to stop by flashing a different kernel but by doing this the phone has a very hard time keeping a connection to the tower. I noticed last night that the phone seems to have a problem connecting to LTE or eHRPD even if it's in CDMA only mode but seems fine if I go into ##DATA# and using my MSL code I change the network to EVDO only mode.
I'm also experiencing similar characteristics of an on going reboot. My phone has been doing this for the past two days, I've reverted to the stock ROM, updated my PRL and yet I'm in a constant reboot. I went to Sprint and they offered to re-install the stock ROM for a fee ($75), I laughed while the friendly consultant called me an idiot for rooting my device. Anyhow, I'm all ears for a solution and in hope to get this phone working again. Last resort, I may just bite the bullet and buy an S4...
Cheers!
EDIT: I was last using the Slim Bean 4.2 build
Interesting thing, my sister and brother each have an S3 with Sprint. They came to visit last night and my sister's phone goes into a reboot loop but my brother's phone is fine. They're both running stock 4.3 and unrooted. The problem seems to be with certain S3s not liking certain towers.
I'm having a very similar problem. I have a i9305 which keeps restarting on it's own. Seems completely random, today it has done it twice, yesterday it did it about 5 times. Sometimes I'm using it when it happens and sometimes it's just sitting on my desk. Also if the battery is below about 40% it will often go in to a boot loop when it restarts. It was doing it when stock, rooted it and flashed a couple different roms, still did it, back to stock now and it's continuing to restart randomly.
There's a lot of people having this issue if you do a google search. THere does seem to be a power button issue with a lot of S3's but mine doesn't have any of the other power button symptoms (such as turning on as soon as you insert the battery).
I'm reluctant to return the phone as I can't be arsed dealing with the warranty process and I rooted it
Similar problem on stock rooted 4.3 row with kt kernel. reboots seem to happen at my house and only in lte/cdma mode. At the same time I notice constant reception issues. In cdmal no problems at all.
Nice, I just set mine to CDMA instead of lte/cdma and no more problems, no more 4g but I don't care as long as my phone works

If you get your MSL code you can go into ##DATA# and edit the "HDR/1X Selection" under "Others" and force the phone to be LTE only. It might take a several tries before the selection actually sticks and signal sometimes goes away for me momentarily. There's also the problem that LTE isn't available everywhere yet so when I leave my house I select LTE/CDMA in the regular networks connections menu and let the phone reboot.
