Hi i own a great nexus since it's release and am very pleased with it. I rooted it installed cyanogenmod as soon as i got it . never had problems before since the old days and always updated to stable versions. with the occasional bugs i sometimes had to erase my whole phone but that usually got it back up again . this is different, i am now on 10.2 and every time i press the power button to sleep the phone the screen goes back on again. not too annoying but it's killing my batteries. i searched online before posting and i turned daydream off, changed the sleep timer on screen rebooted and pulled the batterie. im out of options i reflashed CM 10.2 and wiped the phone cache and dalvik. anubody know what to do ??? my phone is still in mint condition and want to keep for the rest of my contract. THX

Ok maybe you guys can help. I'm having the strangest problem.
I'm running cyanogenmod nightly 151 and last night I was using the torch widget on bright for a little while and the battery died. Charged it back up and when I unplugged it in the morning it rebooted to white htc logo screen. Booted up normally and as soon as screen times out it reboots again. It did this a number of times so I Did a complete wipe and installed an older nightly, same issue. Full wipe and installed a stable rom, same thing. Then I noticed when I leave it on the charger I don't have the rebooting problem, only on battery power, so I replaced the battery. Same issue. Then I noticed that if I constantly use the phone it doesn't reboot. Only when the screen times out. Set the time out to 30 mins and left it idle. 30 mins later it rebooted. Turned off the "screen off animation" thinking that was the problem, no luck. Flashed back to stock official tmobile rom, same issue! Tmobile is sending me out a new phone and battery but just for curiosity sake and so it doesn't happen again, any ideas on what it could be? Definately gonna avoid that torch widget in the future! Thumbs up to tmobile customer service for their no haggle "overnight me a phone for 5 bux" customer service!
To sum it up, when phone is on charger no problems. When phone is running on battery, anytime the screen goes out, either by hitting power button or by it timing out, it instantly reboots to htc logo.

Yea I flashed 5 different ones, first I flashed back to the previous release that included a different kernel, then the stable rc1, then the stable before that, then I flashed the stock rom with root. There's nothing on my phone now except stock software and root. As soon as I hit the button to turn the screen off it reboots. The real question is what exactly happens when the screen goes off that the phone isn't liking? Its speedy and everythng works great for as long as the screen remains on. Its gotta be a hardware issue if I've tried so many different roms right? Or is there some core piece of software that nightly 151 changed that none of the other roms I'm flashing are changing?
Update: if I have music or navigation on and I turn the screen off the phone doesn't reboot until the song ends or route ends! Lol wth is up with this? It only reboots on idle? Maybe processor drops too low?
Update. Phone stopped rebooting every time the "screen goes off / all processes stopped" and now only does it very randomly, almost hardly ever. Its like its repairing itself lol. Htc cyborg! New phone should be here tomorrow. I was really hoping to figure this out though. Oh well
so i guess ive been getting what you would call SOD's, only normally the only way to boot your phone is by pulling the battery ,well i can just hold the power button for an extended amount of time and it will reboot for a couple minutes and then shut down again ,after its through that cycle i can boot it normally with the power button, it happens when i plug the phone up and let it charge to 100% and if the phone isnt taken off the charge then it shuts down like this, its happened once on a call too and i wanna say the wi-fi was enabled every time ...i dont remember im running a test with the wi-fi off right now ,any how i would assume this would be hardware related since ive flashed every rom and it happens on all of them ....any thoughts? im planning on returning the device for another one ,just hesitant because i got one without any of the screen issues that some people are getting

It may be hardware related but it could also be an app that you are installing on each rom. Try a new rom and don't install anything for a few hours and see if it still happens.

SOD? whats that?
sleep of death
i think its related to the wi-fi being on while charging , just fully charged it and left the phone on the cord for an hour after charging and it never went off. ran it down to 90% and turned wi-fi back on and hooked it up to see if it does it again
that has happened to me with other phones, like Nexus S, I9000, Moto XT720
so it's definitely not hardware related AFAIK
the way i narrowed it down to has always been a ROM problem
after I flash clean up, or load a more stable ROM the Sleep Of Death goes away.
i had a lot of that with the recent "stable" CM 7.1 for Nexus S
flashed to a newer nightly unstable and it fixed the "stable" problem LOL
well i just got my new phone in yesterday and so far no random reboots or SOD's ,phone seems a little faster than my previous got 3700 quads stock unrooted and over 15megs download and almost 3 upload , i think i got a better device this time and im pretty sure it was a new one and not refurbished, im gonna run it stock for a couple days just to see if any problems re-occur, i was having them on my first phone before i rooted ,thats why i decided to root and install custom roms
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 everyone,
I've recently rooted and unlocked my phone in order to partake in some Jelly Bean goodness. I've read and done the nandroid backups/cache wipes/dalvik cache/factory resets, and have flashed my first ROM (Vicious 10-20120808-UNOFFICIAL-toro 4.1.1). The installation went smoothly, and the phone was working great until a weird problem happened.
I was texting on my phone, put it down, came back to it a few minutes later and the screen was completely off, and it would not respond to the power button. In order to get it to work again, I had to remove the battery and place it back in for it to respond normally. Upon doing so it would boot back up normally and I'd be golden, but now I'm noticing it is doing the shutoff again every few hours when its idle.
Any ideas for a fix?
I am having the same problem. Went backdown ICS for now. Have you found a solution. I was using the JRO30 JB build.
Happens sometimes to some ROMS. I have no idea why it happens, but its nothing wrong with the phone itself. I recommend AOKP for awesome battery life, performance, and features

My 8.4 running CM 13 (not sure what build, it's a couple weeks old anyway) evidently rebooted itself overnight while on the charger. I woke up at one point and the screen was on at the CM boot (blue robot (?) face with flashing circle behind it) and seemed to be stuck. I powered it off and went back to sleep. In the morning I tried to power it on with the same results - it freezes at the CM screen. I've let it go for what seems like a long time and it does not progress.
I really like my tablet, how do I fix it?
I ended up doing a factory reset and it seems fine now. I updated to the latest nightly as well.
