Hi all... I've been using android devices since day one and love the pixel c.
I'm just having a problem where every time I shut down the device I come back to it at the end of the day and the LED lights on the back of the tablet on and it seems like the tablet has been on all day and has no power?
I'm definitely powering it down as it says power off and I let it power down yeah but it just doesn't seem to be powering down properly. Are others experiencing this issue.
Laters,
PJ
My wife is experiencing this same thing with hers though I was wondering if she was closing the folio cover before it fully powered off. I noticed that when the screen goes black a few seconds after choosing power off, the image is still there as if the backlight on the screen was turned off. I seem to not have the issue she's experiencing when I power it down.
Not to hijack but I was wondering if you or others were having issue with the tablet randomly rebooting? It happened a few times after listening to Google Play Music for a few minutes (each time) while connected to an external Bluetooth speaker tonight and twice a week ago while I was trying to do the same thing.

Just another note about these issues...I was in the kitchen today doing something's and out of the corner of my eye I see the Android/Google splash screen then boot to the lock screen. I Then asked my wife if she powered on the tablet today and she said no...so is this thing powering itself on now? I swear this only happened after the latest update because this thing has been rock solid.

I know this is an old thread but I'm interested to see if you still have this isssue as I am having the same problem. I have narrowed down the cause to the Netflix app.
If I use Netflix then the tablet will freeze on shutdown. The backlighting won't turn off and the LED remains lit.
If I force close Netflix from settings before shutting down then the tablet shuts down normally.
Since i installed the beta android 8.1 my tablet has been running great. No issues turning off and youtube browsing videos while watching a video is FINALLY fixed!!!!!!!
Thanks richardtribes. I have installed the 8.1 beta. My tablet does now shut down correctly after using Netflix, although I'm finding that videos that I attempt to play in Netflix are now scrambled. I think there must be some issues with either codecs or DRM on the Pixel C.

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".
I did not have that problem for a long time, it only recently happened. In the morning the device 'froze' for the first time and did not react to any input without the screen turning on.
I took out the battery to restart and everything seemed fine. But later on it happened while I was using the device, certain pixels moved out of place (like a green pixel distortion) and the device froze. Screen turned off soon after. Taking out the battery was the only option.
Now, this is either battery or some other hardware flaw. After restart the battery had been hit with a 20% drop.
Might the device act up by some charging problems? When I am charging the device, I can feel the electric 'buzz' from the docking connectors (the three golden circles).
Also, when it is not charging, I cannot detect it myself, but if I take a strand of hair, the end of it 'sticks' lightly to the screen (and to the docking connector) if I put it close there. I fear like there's some manufacturing flaw there that broke loose.
The device has not dropped once, nor has had any other physical damage happen to it.
Has anyone else had the same symptoms happen?
Sounds like you've hit the same (or similar) issue to others (including me)

Thank you. I thought it was different from Sleep of Death since the initial symptoms were different from weeks ago when I read that thread, but now reading it this seems correct. This thread can be merged or removed, I'll post in the other thread. Thanks again!
I've had that too, couple days ago using Facebook everything just froze. The keyboard went all buggy and green pixels everywhere. The back of the phone started to warm up phone wouldn't respond in any way.
Tried everything I could try, only option was to pull the battery, once that happened phone wouldn't turn back on!
I gave the phone 5 mins to rest before putting battery back in then it turned on.
My heart was pounding I thought my phone had died!
Thankfully it hasn't happened since

It's happened to me multiple times. Less since I turned off the EQ in the Music app, but it's still happening.
Once it happened with the device just sitting there with Tapatalk displaying a list of posts. I wasn't even interacting with it.
I think it's a OS or driver problem and will be fixed in an OTA.
happened to me once, although when it happened I was already pretty low on battery, about 20% left, maybe less.
I was in a settings menu for some app, I can't remember which. But I had the keyboard up, and the green pixels hit, froze, unfroze, green pixels again, froze, and then shut off.
it would not turn on via the power button, so I quickly pulled the batt and put it back after 30 secs or so and powered it up. Batt did not drop any lower than it was, and it worked fine. Plugged it in, recharged overnight, and has been fine ever since.
I'm running 4.0.1 and I don't have anything but apps made by Google on the phone at the moment.
never rooted or unlocked bootloader.
Hopefully 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 fixes this
i realize now that there's no support for 720P AC3 .MKV files on the Nexus yet, but every time i tried the phone would lock up and i'd have to do a battery pull. other then that, i notice if i have Google Music running and attempt to do something else(multi-task) the phone will also lock up.. but then it will reboot on it's own. i also get lag regularly switching views/menus or going from portait/landscape. additionally, the browser(regardless of which one i use) will occasionally just freeze & close by itself.. usually if i try to do a secure login on a site. i will also sometimes get FC's(have seen them for launcher pro & android keyboard)
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.
Lately my galaxy nexus has been shouting down or restarting. If it doesn't restart by itself I have to pull the battery to get it to turn on. It should be noted that each time this has happened Skype has been on in the background. (audio only)
Also there are other audio apps open in the background (power amp) that were occasionally playing during the call. I have headphones on also. I'm on Verizon and my nexus is 1 day old. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi there,
I noticed that you mentioned you used Poweramp and I think this could be your problem. I had the same issues: random reboots, and a few times, my phone would vibrate in my pocket and turned off itself. I returned the phone (luckily still under warranty) and received a brand new replacement.
I started to install the apps one-by-one, and within a couple hours of downloading poweramp (which i had also used in my previous device), my phone froze and shut down without turning on. I had to battery pull a few times, and thankfully, it turned on again.
I uninstalled poweramp, and there has been no issues since (it's been 3 days without poweramp).
Hope this helps.
Hi,
I've had this watch over a year now. Everything was working fine until probably last update or two. Now the watch just turns off randomly even when battery level is high. And sometimes it won't turn on unless its connected to the charging dock. I've tried deleted android wear, clearing cache, unpairing, factory resets, restarts. Nothing has worked, i've tried it close to 10 times now and just another factory reset this morning. Haven't been able to use the watch for like 2 months now. Its just a desk clock now. Please help.
Android Wear version - 1.3.0.2166028
Play Services = 7.8.99
Android OS = 5.1.1
is the watch actually shutting down like when you go into the screen and tell it to shut off or does it just go blank right away?
If the later then I hate to say it but it sounds like something inside the watch is broken. Perhaps a contact or solder point near or on the battery. Hard to say without sending it for service.

It just goes blank. No notification at all. It's been on for 20 percent now. But I am sure it will turn off again. Maybe it's because it gets hot. I dunno.

Did the watch suffer any kind of mechanical shock ?

Not that I know of or anything very severe. I have pumped it on a wall before but that's it. Never dropped or anything. Just seemed like after the updates it when crazy. And I've tried almost every solution I've read on these forums.
So only turned off once yesterday which was good. This morning took it off dock and it didn't pair. Tried turning on/off bluetooth on phone no luck so I restarted watch. Then it says "android is starting". "App 1 of 12". Why does it do this sometimes? Does it alot. And it will not finish the process and boot up the watch unless it is docked. If wearing watch. It just shuts off.

That sounds like it is trying to update or download the apps to the watch... which it sounds like you have 12 installed on your phone.
Have you tried deleting ALL the apps from you phone (only the 12 apps for the moto 360) and then uninstall Android wear and factory reset the moto 360 and then download Android wear to your phone and pair the 360 as a new watch and test it for a while and see how it works?
I have the same issue, watch shuts down while I am jogging and listening to Android Wear music from the watch throught Bluetooth. Watch shuts down around 75-80%. When I start it says: Loading Apps 1 out of 12... then shuts down (I assume its a safeguard mechanism for watch not to start without full battery to ensure all apps load completely).
When I wear the watch normally, it never goes off during the day, issue presents itself only when using Bluetooth headphones (perhaps the heating of BT transmitter forces the watch to malfunction and shut down)

I never connect the bluetooth to listen to music. It just shuts down.
Maybe you are doing something that causes it to overheat. Do you leave it on for prolonged periods of time?
Been having this same issue. The Moto 360 powers off and when I press the power button to turn it back on I see the splash "M" image then it turns off. The only way to get it to stay on is to put it back on the dock and when it turns on it says shows the updating apps screen. Any fixes?
I haven't figured out fix. Because of this I barely use my watch anymore. Sucks.

yep, haven't used my 360 in 6 months because of this problem. it's a shame really. my warranty went out like a week ago too :/
Same thing has been happening to me as well. Not doing anything on the watch, it just goes into sleep of death and I have to put it back on the charger. Battery level is usually above 60 or 70 %.
Same issue!!!
Guys even I had same issue, my watch will heat up suddenly and turns off. I've to put it in dock to turn it on again. This issue never occurred after stopped using some of the new watch faces which allows dim option. I'm currently using some of the old watch faces which are working fine. May be these new watch faces are not working fine with latest update. Now I don't face any problem and battery life is also great.
Try this solution and let me know.
Watch faces has nothing to do with it. My watch will not fully boot into android wear unless it's on the dock no matter which watch face I am using. Even the minimal face.

Anybody able to find a fix? This is so annoying
I'm having the same problem. I purchased a used Moto 360 off eBay for $120 and it turns off randomly even when the battery is pretty high for example it just turned off randomly at 80%. Then when I try to turn it on it boots up till the M logo or sometimes to the colorful part but then turns off again. It also only turns back on by putting it on the charging dock. Also it shows the Installing App 1 of 1 at startup and then suddenly shuts down again. I am extremely annoyed and frustrated because of this as I spend $120 on this watch and now I get this which makes it unusable and a waste of money. Please tell me guys if any of you find a solution!
Unfortuanately, mine is doing the exact same thing. I thought I had it working again, but as soon as I tried to give GPS permission to Google Fit (wouldn't run without it), it spun there and just went black. I literally just took the watch off the charger, so it isn't that. Now, if I hold the power button or press it multiple times, it tries to boot up, and will stop before it even gets past the normal Android boot animation. Sometimes, it won't even get past the Motorola boot animation. Now, when I put it on the charger, it seems to load perfectly fine, and even gets past the 'Starting apps' phase. Again, once it loads back up, my watch shows +90% battery. I've tried a factory reset, unpair/repair, and still no go.
Found a pattern
My app does the same but i have at least a pattern when it happens. It seems like it is as soon as there has been an update either in Android ware app or in soem app that has an wear application.
