[Q] Desire Z goes into coma, alarm doesn't go off.

I'm not sure if this is a phone problem or a ROM problem. I'm on CM6.1.1 for 2 weeks already. Recently the phone starts to present symptoms of sleeping beauty where it dies off and only way to wake it up is removing battery.
Situation:
I put recurrent alarm to ring at 8.30am, the phone dies at 8.00am. Happened twice within this week already...
Today:

The alarm rang while not charging.
The day before:
The alarm rang while charging.
The day before:
As you can see I woke up at 10am when the alarm failed to go off.
The sleeping beauty syndrome happened a few times within the first week of having the phone and never occurred again, so I brushed it off as breaking in period. But this is too much.
The phone is about one month old now.
Anything I can do before sending it off for warranty claims?

even after gingerbread update this problem continues, and mine is not a rooted. this type of unreliability for a smartphone is completely unacceptable. has htc any answer to it? a 500 euro device that just dies on you haphazardly?

lol that's a bit of an overreaction... This definitely isn't a wide spread issue man. If your phone is messing up, you should send it in for replacement.
OP, are you underclocking or using a screen-off profile? There could be any number of things that're causing your phone to lock up and crash while sleeping.
on another note, any specific reason why you're still running CM6? CM7 has been in stable for several months now...

no cm6 or cm7, like I said, its unrooted. there are quite a few threads in other forums regarding this problem. its just crappy hardware sold expensively, that's the sad part. even heard of people exchanging the hardware and still facing this problem, one reason why I don't think that its worth bothering to send it for repairs

I know you're unrooted. And that's why I said that you should request a replacement phone... and if that replacement has the issue, replace it again! that's why they replace it when its broken.
And like I said, no matter how many forum posts you see about the issue, it really isn't as widespread as you think.

***SOLUTION***
Buy a 10 dollar alarm clock that plugs into the wall. Never be late for work again.

Thissssss. I know custom ROMs are stable, and stock ROMs are supposed to be even more stable, but ffs I'd never rely on one as my only alarm clock.

Try turning gps off tell me what happens.... reason is I'm currious if that's the issue I have similar problems when my gps is on and never have any issues with it off.

Help!! Bricked Evo

I have been rooted for a while and successfully flashed a few Roms/Kerenels using rom manager. I was flashing the newest version of Myn and one of the "warm" kernels that it offered with it. Everything was going normally the rom loaded fashed the rom and kerenel the phone was reseting then out of nowhere i got the image of the white box and android guy with an arrw as if to say "android taken out of box" I left it like that for about 5 min then took the batt out and tried to reset it. I got the same image then i tried vol. up & power it vibrated 3x and did nothing. My buddy had the same problem yesterday and he got it workin. I called him and he said all he did was pull batt/restart over and over till it booted normally. I tried that about 10x then it would not turn on again. Plugged it in, no response no led light up.
Am I bricked past the point of no return, and if not what can I do to get back in business

Try volume down + power..
also if you have a spare battery on hand try that

Ive tried all button combos ect. nothing I have tried has gotten me ANY sort of response from the phone

can u get it to turn on to splash screen?

at the risk of sounding ignorant what is that/ how would i get it up because I cannot get it to do ANYTHING but sit here off with no display no led light not led when charging its almost as if it wasnt recieving power or something

can you turn it on at all?

Can you get into the phones boot loader?

Take the battery out and plug the phone into the charger let it sit for like 1 min then put the battery back in while on the charger still. Wait for the led and then
Vol down + power
Go into wipe section and wipe everything
Do you already have updated radios?

following the steps mentioned above the LED never came on I still have not gotten it to do ANYTHING... do you think that if i brought it to a tech center they would swap it out because there is no way to get it on and if they cant get it on there is no way they could tell that it was routed.. right? also in regaurds to the antennas i believe it did i think myn made me do that as part of the kernel change/rom flash

First yeah they should just exchange it at a sprint corporate store.
Second myn didn't make you do anything, he made a suggestion.
Third now I know what you did wrong, which was obviously pulled the battery while the radio was updating.
Fourth, you have no choice but to turn it into sprint as there are several documented occasions where ppl have done the exact same thing and had to exchange their phone..
Fifth get a good nights rest and head to sprint first thing in the morning!

Possible Fix
Last night I decided to flash Calkulin's Radio, WiMAX, PRI & NV combo..something I have done several times. Only this time I was discharging my battery and I forgot that the low battery warning had come on. So, long story short, I ended up with the little box and the android guy. I did a search and came to this thread. Anyway, out of desperation to do something, I connected my phone to fastboot commander and since I couldn't put my phone into fastboot mode the phone was not recognized. So I switched it to the system settings. No sooner than I connected it than the the progress bar started initializing under the android guy. The screen dimmed and came back on and then went to the splash sceen and booted up. I don't know if this is a fluke or what, but I'm pretty damn happy with myself for solving my own problem. Maybe this will help someone.
UPDATE: I tried to flash Calkulin's Radio, WiMAX, PRI & NV combo again to make sure everything flashed properly and the same thing happened. I connected my phone to fastboot commander and it worked again.

Red Screen of death issue

I have had the Sprint Epic 4G Touch since launch day and today everything on my screen turned into a deep shade of red for a couple of minutes and I thought it was a dead screen I would have to return to Sprint and then the normal color returned out of nowhere. Does anyone know if this is something I triggered or was this just a glitch? The home button, screen off/on, changing screens did not fix this problem. All functions were working from what I could tell and I could make everything out on the screen and it was bright but everything was a shade of red.
My phone is stock and I have Go Launcher running on it with many Go Widgets. I had about 50% battery from what I remember. I may have had the Words With Friends application running at the time if anything. I have a few emulators and ROMs on my external sdcard that were not running but everything else on my phone is normal.

Thos happened to me also. i am rooted with stock kernal. was weird. i rebooted and hasnt done it since then.

it happened to me once since I got my phone but hasnt since. It reminds me of the red render effect in CM 7. That's the best way to describe it.
It's similar to this, not exact but similar..

this also happened to me once for a few minutes...freaked me out...went back to normal and not since

Since a screen shot was made
Its probably a bug sammy overlooked
If we blast sammy's twitter about they will be forced to give us that update
Why you ask
Because the other variants of the gs2 hasnt come out yet and if they wait super long to give us these updates chances are less ppl will buy the gs2 for t mobile and att

This is extremely close to how it looked on my screen. I tried recreating it but couldn't. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Like I said everything was functional I just thought the screen took a nose dive on me. I'll blast sammy's twitter also.

I've had the same strange red shade. Thought maybe it was a hardware problem; glad to see it wasn't just me.
I've had another weird screen mode issue - "safe mode." No idea what this meant, but didn't notice any limitations. Just had a little shaded rectangle at the bottom left of the screen no matter what I did. Had to restart the phone to make it go away.
I've also had a warning that I was overheating the battery by flying through Manhattan in Google Earth with 3D rendering turned on. Not a bug - just didn't think it would be possible to pull that off when the phone is in an environment of standard room temperature.
See the attached screenshots.

[Q] Refurb phone = Battery doesn't drain

I got a refurb S3 through a GeekSquad Black Tie warranty for a cracked screen. Since I had my initial S3 for about a year and LOVED how it worked since day 1, I never rooted it or put any aftermarket ROMs on it. I'd had my phone "just the way I like it" and ran my business on it so I didn't want to have ANY issues. I tried about 20 different ROMs on my Epic4G over the previous 2 years and LOVED the flexibility, so that tells you how much I liked the S3 stock.
When I got my refurb phone, I instantly rooted and put the newest LiquidSmooth on it since I was starting from scratch anyway. After a couple hours, I noticed that my data was TERRIBLE (all I ever got was "1x" unless wifi was connected... and I have a beautiful shiny new 4G tower about 1000 feet from my house) and that my battery would stay frozen at 100% until it would just die. I have since flashed back to Stock (rooted) and the data problem seems to have taken care of itself, but the battery still never drains.
I feel like an absolute idiot for not verifying full functionality of the phone before I flashed it, but is it likely that the phone is bad?
I never "charge" my phone (and never have with this phone). I have 2 identical batteries that I charge on a battery charger that I've been cycling evenly since the day I bought it. Am I missing a key step for calibrating the batteries with the new phone?
Sorry if this is a repeat n00b post, but after about 10 minutes of Googling, I got nothing.
FYI, I tried the Battery Calibration app from the market, but it didn't seem to do anything.
Thanks in advance!

Question go in Q&A not general.
But your saying that you run the phone all day and the battery can die but the phone reads full 100% all the time?

Ah, I hadn't seen the question, just the fact that it was moved.
Yes! The battery says it's 100% all the time until it dies. It did this with LiquidSmooth and after I went back to stock, Since the phone isn't aware that it's about to die, it just shuts off without going through the chime/vibrate/shutdown process and it can go unnoticed for quite some time if I'm working.
Any ideas?

Agreed. I would triangle away it (to get rid of flash counters) then Odin back to stock and take it back.

Need Help? PM
Hit the "Thanks" button if I helped!

Is it even possible that it's a hardware issue? The fact that it's a refurb isn't alarming at all? I flashed it back to the stock rom and then tried a different kernel after a couple days (as far as I can tell).
I only say this because it takes a day or 2 to get the phone "just how I like it" and get all my stuff copied back over.
Not being the super-savvy user, where are the stock sprint Odin files? I installed the stock rom (clearly the wrong one) through CWM.
Thanks again.

Exactly why I said flash it back to stock triangle away to 0 and take it back. There's something wrong with the device itself.
here you can flash this and it does it all in one shot returns the stock rom, triangle away and stock recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31981341 and you do it all from custom recovery.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the proper link. Just got the ball rolling on another replacement through Best Buy, but will certainly try this now!

Ive had two refurbs from Best Buy and both of them have rebooted like crazy and done all kinds of other odd things. Im on my second one now.. picked it up last night, its going back today.

Battery Percentage not displaying properly

So for awhile now my battery percentage has been acting funny. The majority of the time, it displays 0% regardless of the actual charge. Sometimes it will display as the real charge but then it will remain displaying that level even after the charge has dropped. I have tried formatting and flashing different roms, it doesn't seem like the ROM is the issue. Currently using one of the CM11 builds from last week. You can see from my screenshot that regardless of being charged it shows 0% across the board for the last 2 days.

Anyone know what's up with this? My gut is telling me to open up the case and check the battery connection, but I'm wary of cracking my backplate when prying it open. I heard its quite fragile.

Sometimes after flashing a ROM the battery stats will act weird. Charge to 100% and use the battery calibration app and you should be back to normal.

Doesn't seem like the calibration app is doing anything, it thinks the charge is at 0% as well. Also when I boot into recovery (TWRP), there is no battery charge displayed. On my phone it displays the charge next to the time.

so glad to have come across your msg because I've been having the same issue for the past week.
I owed a Nexus 7 2013 unrooted which I'm running with the latest version 4.4.2.
I've been googling all weekend and came across several msg on the issue.
My issue is that tablet been shutting off at 40% as if my tablet is seen 0%. Just before it shut down a msg appear saying low battery and the tablet shut off but problem is the per engage show 40% and this started since this past weekend.
I've try to recharge my tablet by closing it and charging it to no avail. I also read on different board that those app calibrate a myth and does nothing to solve the issue. The only thing I haven't done is factory rest my system because again I've read that the issue still persisting.
Also each time that I'm charging my tablet I notice that it stay a long time on 100% but the moment it reach 40% it shut down as if is 0%.
I'm hoping other users can come by and confirm if they experiencing the same issue.
