Howdy guys,
after a little help please. I am using energy cookie rom since may with little problems.
However, recently the phone started switching itself off. I noticed it whilst streaming with 'myplayer'. Then it did it when i received a text message. Now it is doing it all the time. I have started playing a game called land, air, sea, warfare (great game btw) And the problem is worse not only does it just switch the phone off but it somehow manages to make the phone do a hard reset???????
When the phone switches back on it says it is the first time the phone has been on and goes through asking me which carrier i am using?
Also sometimes it wont switch back on and i have to false a hard reset to get it to work. I have done about a dozen hard resets since yesterday.
Any ideas please? Btw i did perform a task 29 and a hard reset after i installed this rom.

My two pennies on this:
1. Perform a task29 again.
2. Install a stock ROM.
3. Install HSPL3.
4. Perform Task29 again.
5. Install the ROM again.
Should remove all the problems and get you a good clean ROM without probs.

Howdy, thanks for taking the time to respond. So you think the issue is probably software related rather than hardware? I only ask cause that 'game' is 40 mb and i was wondering if maybe it is too resource hungry for my phone and maybe i have an issue? Ram, cpu etc?
Either way i will try and change the rom first.

I am using energy cookie rom too. I used to have the same problem like you, and i did some easy things to solve. It's ok so far and i hope to help you.
- Flash new stable radio after flash rom (someone say should flash radio in advance, but not for me). V2.10.50.28_2 is good to me.
- Turn off auto lock. It makes some disadvantages to you, but helps your device from death - sleep.

I doubt it is that game resource problem. Most probably some software conflict only. HD2 can handle 40mb game files easily.

Guess your game has got some serious conflict with the ROM and is corrupting some reg settings or some ROM settings. Probably you are better off not installing that game again. Moreover, write to the developer of the game about this issue.
With regard to the phone, just follow the same advice I gave in the first post. Time consuming I know, but your device will get back to normal. Fingers crossed.

looks like something is going on? I performed about 5 hard resets and finally got the phone to boot up. But it is hanging for everything now. I turned on bluetooth, i tried to access sense and both caused the phone to hang. So i will try your advice again, tomorrow. Thanks,
well that game definitely conflicts with the phone.
i flashed a stock rom from the sd card as advised and finally got the phone working aok. within 10 minutes of installing and playing that game the phone is back to her old ways of soft/hard resetting.
is there a way to check that it is not a hardware issue?
thanks again for all your help.
Ok, so I just got a replacement phone a couple of days ago after my last one got smashed (don't ask =() but I've noticed that this one kept randomly rebooting. I thought it might have had to do with the fact that I just did a nandroid restore from the other phone plus sd card without wiping anything. I tried wiping things, nothing. I did a RUU restore, still crashed.
I was going to try S-ON until I ran a thread on the same issue happening on the EVO 4G and someone solved it by flashing a different radio on it. The one that came with my replacement is the 0.97.10.0530 version, I restored it to 0.97.00.0518 (the one I had on my original 3D). Since then I haven't noticed any more random reboots (I found that I could actually reproduce the error by turning wifi on and off).
Is this an actual fix or did my phone magically fix itself? I'm asking because if it it's just temporary and irrelevant to the radio flash, I want to exchange it within the 7 days the insurance company gives me.
I hope you did not restore your Wimax keys from the other device!!
If you did, bye- bye 4g...you erased your unique keys to your new phone.
I haven't looked into the issue one bit as mine has never rebooted, but with other phones 99% of the time its kernel related
I take that back, it worked for the longest time then out of nowhere, it started doing the random reboots again. After that I tried to restore it completely to stock with s-on and reroot it. Worked for a while as well and it started crapping out again. Getting a replacement shipped overnight.
And I didn't restore wimax from old phone =p
I'm also having the random reboot issue. I'm still within my 30 days but I don't believe its a hardware problem. Seems to me that it only occurs when connected to WiFi. Can others confirm this is the case for them also?

the random reboots has to do with the cache not the hardware. When you have too much memory in the cache, the OS freaks out and reboots. I had the same issue a week into having my phone, got it replaced, and the new one did the same thing.
My fix was to clear the cache using the app2sd app from the market, turn off the phone, remove the battery and leave it out for 5 minutes, put the battery back in, and turn it on. I haven't had a random reboot since.

See that's whats weird. I would just do that, have it turn on (and not interact with it) and then after a bit I'd turn the screen on, it would just crash and reboot.
Evo2dn, I find I can reproduce it if I toggle wi-fi or any of the quick settings.
Good. Many good phones lost 4g that way.

mine did this a few times as well when i first got it.
it was pretty random, but mine would also do it if i left the phone in my pocket for an extended amount of time it seemed, or for some reason it seemed related to that. i was wrong, however.
i replaced the SD card, never happened again.
you have to remember that your phone is a computer.... and computers will reboot to check a bad disk.... that was the issue with mine.
not saying this is YOUR particular issue, but your problems are consistent with what mine was doing before i figured out what was wrong with it.
one way i knew for a fact it was my SD taking a **** on me was when i would try to move applications from the internal mem to the SD, i would get this error "failed to move application"... i would try again, and it would go. this was also a randomly occurring event, and was not related to some particular app...
before i replaced the SD card i moved all my apps from the card to the internal mem of the phone...
when i replaced it, booted up, and attempted to move the applications back to the SD card.... EVERY one of them moved without a single error.
try replacing your sd card.
Mine would reboot randomly, and have the terrible bsod. I thought I was going to break the back because of how many I had to take it off.
Luckily, after flashing gb-sense I haven't had a single problem. Now I am on Synergy 468, and it hasn't happened on it either. I'm guessing it was software related.
I tried changing my SD card, wasn't it, I have two 6gb ones and my 32 gig one I use, formatted it just in case as well, nothing, still crashes.
Mine does it on every rom I tried it on, inducing the default Sense ROM. I agree that issues like these are usually software based but I have tried everything I can possibly imagine plus everything else I read from other people and it still crashes. It is probably hardware.
I too have tried different SD cards with same result. I was also getting the BSOD prior to taking all the OTA updates. After taking the updates, I'm no longer getting the BSOD but the reboot still remains.
So I got my replacement phone and restored it exactly how my original replacement was and have had zero problems.
So I think it's safe to say that although not all the time, this can be a hardware issue. Only the problem with this one is a stuck white pixel on the bottom left. But I'll live

im going on my 3rd replacement , has anyone who has cliamed to have fixed there problem really fixed it? have your fixes really ixed your reboot issue.?.
Put me in the group too...
On 2.3.3 I never got a random reboot. But when I overclocked at ALL it would eventually BlackSoD. But now that I'm on 2.3.4 it seeks that has been replaced with random rebooting. I've used Synergy pretty exclusively buy have switched to try and find a Rom that doesn't do this!. I'm currently on Warm TwoPointThree. Did a full wipe and install and in the middle of restoring user apps with titanium backup it rebooted. Been on the Rom for 9hrs (mostly asleep) and its rebooted 3 times already.
Yea, my as well. I have been running SteelH's rom. I'm sure it's not related, it happened witha previous mod as well. It does seem to happen more often on wifi, but I've noticed it with it off as well. I have had both issues with my phone restarting... but more often than not the issue has been that it would freeze all together and I would have to pull the battery.
Strange thing is, there are times where it happens 3 times in a day... then I can go 3 days and not have it happen once.
I've been using cache cleaner and having it clear my cache on it's own twice a day. Been doing this for 2 days so far and haven't had a reset. I will let you all know if that does any good in a few days.

A few things I suggest to you guys (while searching for a fix on my defective phone, these seem to work for some people).
- Reflash kernel or even try a different one or return to stock.
- Factory reset and test it for a bit, THEN put stuff back on it
- Swap out SD cards and see if the phone is more stable, if so try to reformat card and try to use it again, if it persists, it could be a defective SD card.
- RUU recovery flash, turn S-ON then S-OFF after that and re-root.
like its said in the title, my titan resetet itself twice! without any obvious reason.
the first time the titan didnt react to anything so i removed the battery, when i startet it again -> get started stuff
the second time i just turn the titan off when i restarted -> get started
its pretty anoying and i wanted to know if anybody has the same problem or knows an answer
thx
Memory full ?
What your device memory nearly full or about 8GB full ? Some devices have a bug when this happens. The last deployed firmware resolved the issue for me.
mhm im not sure how much was full but it could be...
i will do the update and see if it solves the problem
thx for the tipp
edit: great ive wanted to update my phone but during the process it fails. at the point when the phone is restarting my pc doesnt recognice it anymore...
zune is waiting for the phone to restart and the phone shows this "connect phone to pc" screen but nothing happens...
You can try to update your firmware with the lastest version with a recovery tool here:

It worked for me but you'll loose all your data.
ok thx i will wait a few days and look for driver updates mabay this will fix it and i can update the normal way but thx
My phone keeps shutting off and I barely have anything on it. Pretty annoying, thought it was a defective phone, not sure after reading this.
edit: after doing a factory reset my phone is still shutting off. Going to get a new replacement today.
I read on another thread that cleaning SIM card and reseating it solves that. Hope this is not too late to help others.
Any similarities to this?

I just had my first reboot for my Titan. Incoming call but no sound. Hung up, and the phone immediately rebooted. First and only time it did that. Hopefully it was an isolated incident.
FYI: I have about 4GB free on my phone. No other issues.
i think some of you getting it wrong. my titan doesnt reboot it reset itself like a hard reset, everything is gone and i have to go trough the whole settup again...
this happened twice altough it havent happened in the last days i want to update my phone but its impossible for me right now because when my phone restarts during the update process zune doesnt recognise it anymore.
ive already deletet and reinstallt the driver and i ran the official microsoft fix without any sucess

Mine did this twice this week. I think is something with network connection.
Everytime I took it from pocket or car, turned it on and call in seconds.
Sometimes I got restarts while using the bluetooth connected to my car.
Something it not good with HTC radio.

HTC Titan resetting itself out of nowhere..??
My Titan reset itself for the 1st time yesterday.. it froze first so i couldn't power it down I had to take the battery out, only thing is I have all my stuff (music, pictures, text messages..) u get the point. So after that happened and i pulled the battery out and put it back in and powered it up some of my apps were uninstalled and when i went over a screen to my apps i noticed something that said "applications install" or something like that, i had never seen it before. I uninstalled the mysterious app or watever it was and now when i try to open my people block on the start screen to find contacts it wont work.. wont open at all!!! this is the 2nd titan ive had and im totally confused as to what going on. I did unlock it with an unlock code. I dunno if that has anything to do with it.. Can anyone shed any light or should i just count my losses and trash it! it also deleted my email accounts in settings when i powered it off then on again.. I dunno if its a bug or wat, but im pissed tf off!! hellppppp!
LG-P760 stock Android 4.1.2
Only basic apps, FB, gmail etc.
1. Factory/hard reset
2. Works around 3-4 days perfectly, then starts to crash.
By crash I mean black screen, nothing helps, only battery pull.
3. After first crash, starts crashing more frequently. Happens only in standby.
Worst was today: If I start phone, log in, then it wont crash before I put it in standby. First time in standby, within 30 second, it had crashed.
twice crashed when someone tried to call me. Vibrated once, then crashed.
I would like to avoid replacing my phone.
Any ideas how to find the source of this problem? Any recommendations?

I had the same problem with Vietnam Rom and it was the baseband. I changed to the baseband from ICS from a Rom of my country so I have Vietnam Rom+Original ICS baseband and everything works well.
Thanks.
Although, I understand it mostly is problem when you have unlocked bootloader.
I am running stock everything.
And they have problem with rebooting phone, mine crashes and freezes.
Weird is that it starts around third day of normal use.
I think I have to take on a quest with a warranty. Does anyone know, can I contact LG straight without the provider, where I bought the phone?

I haven't unlocked it. The problem was the same: SOD sleep of death, when the screen goes off you can't do anything but pull the battery.
But if you can use the warranty use it. You should find the warranty info in the box to know where send it in your city.

Thanks. I will search into it. Sleep of death is new expression for me.
I only have phone, it came from relatives who threw away receipt + box.
Luckily I managed to get new receipt from provider yesterday (I dont think they usually give out receipts twice), so now I can use local warranty.
Thanks everyone for replying. I will post update when I have final solution.
Since you are stock you might want to consider flashing the kdz to see if that helps. Good luck!

I'm having the exact same issue with mine. I've heard everything from "try a different SD card" to "factory reset," and nothing seems to permanently fix the issue. What I've found kind of sort of works is just reboot it a whole bunch until it finally comes up and doesn't do it any more. From there, I'm good to go until the battery runs out or I need to reboot it because all the bloatware is causing it to glitch. This usually means that I have to reboot my device 10+ times in a row every few days. Hopefully, you found a more viable fix than this.

Hi
I managed to kind of solve this issue. Because I am not sure how, I haven't closed thread yet.
Anyway, I warranted device, they re-installed soft. Came back, same thing. After around weeks use, SOD. Factory reset. After that, things went interesting.
I tried not to leave it idle. Always had something running. I also had noticed by the time it never occurred when it was plugged in or music was playing.
One day it did it again, but I was in a hurry and just disregarded it. I did something(I was busy, maybe just plugged it in automatically?) and it came back up. It took like 10 sec for screen to start, but it did just wake up. And it haven't had crash ever since. I have no idea is this solution or is this just some coincidence and I am not keen to factory reset again, to see will it reoccur. It's my only phone
TLDR: Managed to get out of sleep of death, haven't reoccurred since.
EDIT: Wow the issue was really REALLY stupid. turned out i was using a HUGE picture as my lockscreen wallpaper, and it was causing hang ups because I guess it was trying to load that huge picture into ram every time it went to sleep or something. change the picture, everything was fine. I'm really dumb.
My galaxy s2 has been fine pretty much since launch. Switched over to cyanogenmod a long time ago, been updating to their nightlies about once a month. Recently tho, starting like this week, my phone has been randomly rebooting like crazy, to the point that the phone is unusable. Any thing I try to do results in a soft reset. The fastest way I've found to recreate the issue is to turn on and off the screen twice quickly, causes a crash/reboot, dont know what to call this.
AFAIK I still have access to recovery, odin, etc.
I've tried flashing an older nightly, wiping cache, factory reset, still get crashes really easily. I've ruled out my micro sd card being the problem, it still randomly reboots without it. Any idea what I can do to try and narrow down what the problem is?
Do a clean install of stock in the first instance, run it for a few days & see if it persists. If it stops happening, then obviously something CM-side causing it. If it doesn't replace battery. If that doesn't fix it, take it to a local mobile repair shop for diagnosis.
