Everday my phone goes off by iteself once. I don't know what is the problem. At first I thought it might be firmware related but I've switched 5-6 different firmwares and right now im on Cloudyfa's latest firmware and it still gives me this problem. Does anyone else face this problem?

Does it power off fully (as in shut down, and need to be restarted), or just turn off the screen?
I've the same problem on mine but me, for shure it's a battery problem. When it's turn off I must wait about 3 minutes to take it on or just plug it on AC charger. When I plug it, the LED blink once red and orange like a charge directly after one or two seconds and I can start/unplug my phone how is generaly at 45~65 % charged.
Not everyday cause it's only a test phone (I use Artemis) but every long test (stability in full chargeor overclocked) too much ressources are needed from my (hold) battery and it lock the alimentation. The Red Light is for hardware problem, that sure
So at the moment of the power off plug it intoo wall charger and say to me what is the reaction.
Sorry for bad English
l3v5y, it powers off. I have to restart or sometimes even soft reset to get it up again.. Perhaps its the battery too?

Sounds like the battery if different ROMs haven't helped.

i had the issue where my dopod rebooted by itself even though the power meter was still at around 40-50%. As time goes on, it got worst. So I replaced my 1 1/2 year battery to a new one. Problem solved. So I agree wilth l3v5y.
FYI
Thanks mate! I shall try replacing the battery and see how it goes! cheers

Were you running lots of programs? Is the battery (relatively) new?

No matter the rom i'd flash... the phone in quick period of time goes white (like after Soft spl)...have to make several SR and remove the battery for a short while for it to work properly again...
any ideas? smth wrong with hardware?

I'd guess something to do with the hardware...
I can think of no software issue that would cause that, especially not with different ROMs.

1. 80% hardware problem, main board screen cable CONNECTOR bad connection ( I hope so),
- the screen needs to be reset, by remove/disconnect the screen cable and reconnect after 1 minute.
be careful WHILE HANDLING the fragile heat-seal type ribbon cable ...
GOOD LUCK ~~~ ^^
i'd upgraded ipl from 2.13 to 2.20 recently...may it be the problem?

IPL/SPL shouldn't cause that! I suspect hardware...
If you go into bootloader, does it display normally?

Just rooted, overclocked, now when i power off it simply turns on 2 sec after.
How come? Anyone know?

Pulled my battery to shut it off.
Started the phone, shut it off, and it stayed off. Weird!
Thanks for your help.
its not off, it's underclocked so low it can't even wake up the screen, higher your min clock speed to 600 and see if it still happens, of try removing setcpu or that other one that starts with a T.. whichever you use

I have the same problem, instead of switching off it just reboots, even if I power off from recovery.
What kernel are you using. I'm using Ninphetamine 2.0.5, with VillainROM 2.4.2, with Black Android Theme.
I'd rather not pull the battery, after seeing how flimsy the battery cover when I put it on first, I decided I'd try to avoid fiddling with it if at all possible

Well let me tell you about a little secret: if you hold the power button for 10 seconds the phone will shutdown instantly no matter what.

Doesn't work: it turns off, stays off for 2 seconds en boots up again.
I got same problem. Never flashed, never rooted. Got original 2.3.3.
I think I#ll try to flash it to fix it.
got a similar problem. probably not related. after unplugging it from a full charge, the phone kept making the "USB connected" sound. when turned off, it would do one of two things: display the big battery charging indicator while flashing the overheat indicator or turn itself back on.
while powered on, the battery icon will change from charging to not charging. I checked the USB socket and doesn't seem to be malfunctioning and there isn't anything shorting out the contacts. so far now, the battery level is at 87 percent after 48 minutes not in use. and now it's not making the sound anymore. I suppose the battery is malfunctioning.

I got a mixed-up thing of the issues on this topic..
When I take off the power socket, the symbol that shows "charging" remains there, and also, it is completely impossible to turn off the phone..
Whenever I turn it off, hard, or standard mode, it turns on again after 2 seconds..
And even if I remove the battery, I put it on again, and then it's back on in 3 sec....
Uh, and when I plug the charger in, when the battery is completely discharged, I have to take it out and back in , several times, before anything appears on screen, and even when it does, there is a temperature warning sign , and a yellow one which usually appear...
I'm getting very frustrated since I just paid 5000 nok (920 USD) for this phone..
And while I really begun to like Android, I guess I'll have to switch back to iPhone with a 4S, or to some better android device, since yes, the gs2 is cool , but I can't stand such issues, since I do run business things, and the phone is of vital importance for me, and not just a console/browsing crap.
Has anyone got any solution on this issue?
It would be crap if I had to send it to service, since it would take a lot of time, and I would have then to buy another temporary phone in the meanwhile...
PLEASE, HELP!
I had this problem, i cleaned the USB port out but that didn't stop it, but i think it helped. I then drained the battery to nothing and it has now stoppped. It's a battery problem, as it didn't switch off like it does when it hits low battery it just died. The battery readings were also inacurrate and every now and then it would do a weird thing like flashing it was charging, but it wasn't. I tried software etc.. and clean wipe before i tried the hardware, so it wasn't the rom i was running. I think the battery is on it's way out, so I've bought a new one.

Did this actually help? I had all the symptoms everyone has been describing and sent it to Samsung for repair. Their response was that the phone was stuck trying to download a PRL update, but as soon as I got the phone back from them and charged my battery to 100%, removing the phone from the charger caused everything to start again. I'm not entirely sure it is the battery, but have no other ideas.
USB charging port is dead.
Buy a new one on ebay and replace it.

Hi all.
Had similar problems about one month after getting my s2. I have unlocked sim card, rooted it and flashed some kernel, shyah i think. And left it with stock rom (Android 4.0). As it was under warranty i reverted completely to stock and took it to the carrier. After one day got it back but they said it had no problem. The fact is that i could in fact turn it off again. After a few days it was back so i flashed a custom rom (resurrection remix at that time) and never had it again.
Now I'm with alliancerom and apolo kernel for a few months and never had it again.
I had my phone out with me last night fully charged, halfway through the night i took it out my pocket to find it was off , bit strange.
But not only that it wouldn't power on no matter what.
Usually you would try removing the battery (can't in the s)
Eventually managed to get it to startup holding down volume up and power together (nexus1 fastboot) which booted it up normally??
Im a bit concerned the phone is faulty, anyone experienced this?

Leave it on the charger for a while. Maybe the battery is empty.
You can always press Volume up and the power button and wait for three vibrations to make a hard reset (like battery out)

I had this horrible experience on day one
Power and volume up key pressed together for 5 seconds and mine was a bright day again
happend to me before aswell, because the battery was pretty empty. leaving it on the charger for a couple of minutes resolved the problem
My wife's x10 mp did this with a faulty sim - have you another sim to try?

I have CM 7.2 installed with CWM Touch Recovery.
My phone has about 1 year and since a few weeks ago I started to find my phone off or totally unresponsive (same as off, I can't say).
The only way to get it back is remove the battery and try several times to put it back while holding the power button down.
Sometimes it doesn't even work and I have to try about 20 times or more.
The phone is not hot and it happens (at least 100% of times 'til now) when is asleep and not during CPU "hard work".
I was wondering if someone has experienced this behaviour and hopefully found a solution.
Thanks
I believe you are experiencing the dreaded Sleep of Death.
If possible, try to flash a new ROM and see if it happens. If it continues, try to go back to stock and see if it still continues because if that's the case then its a hardware problem.

Thanks for your reply.
I had some reboots trying CM9 and CM10 so I went back to CM7.2 which is great.
I then noticed that reboot didn't worked anymore (e.g. going to recovery mode caused sleep to death not restarting the phone).
Since a few days ago I started to experience the "sleep to death" and so I tried to flash a clean Neutrino to fix a potential SW issue.
The SOD frequency was even higher and the difficulty to restart the phone even more.
I want back again to CM7.2 and now I still have the problem but "only" a few times a day.
I believe is an hardware issue but I have no warranty anymore and so I have no idea how much I would pay to get new hardware components...
It's a pity, I was quite happy about everything else and going to stay with it for a long time (also thanks to XDA and Cyanogen Developers).
Cheers,
Max

Any advice?

Exactly.. a few days ago I was able to reanimate the phone by trying several time to reinsert the battery while holding the power switch on.
After a few time, the phone was eventually booting.
Since this morning though, code blue... the seems to be dead.
The only life sign is when, 1 time out of several, I connect USB cable to the phone and the led turns green (fixed). That's it..
It stays green even if I disconnect the cable (battery should be charged) until I remove the battery.
I think this is pretty much every symptom I noticed, here for sharing.

Those events from a few days ago (when you were still able to turn it on by performing battery acrobatics) should have been a red flag for you - sadly your phone was dying.
Seems now it's officially dead. Not much more you can do. You can take it to a service center, see if they can do anything, but don't hold your breath.

Two hours ago, I was playing some game on my DX, and suddenly the screen went black. Just like that! I tried Power button, vol down&power button, but nothing happens. Computer can`t recognized the device, but led lamp is red when it is plugged.
Do you guys have any idea what could be?
And yes, it is all stock, unrooted.
Please help, this is happening in worst possible moment, I desperately need my phone!:crying::crying:
Hmm did you remove and paste battery ? Maybe low battery ?
Seems like your battery was dead. Charge it for an hour and turn it back on.

Your battery is overheated, that's why the led is red instead of orangs when charging. Open the device and remove the battery.
Let it cool down for a couple hours and see if it will charge afterwards. If not you need to send it to a HTC repair center

No, I am afraid that all of you are wrong. Led is actually orange, not red. I took the device in local shop (not HTC authorized) and they told that my battery is ok. If battery is ok, what is wrong then? Guy from that shop says that it might be software, but I really doubt it. Any idea?
If Its a Graphic heavy 3d game then Its beacuse your phone over heated. Or did so while on charge, just take the battery out for a bit and give it a full charge
P.s.... The people at the HTC shops dont really know alot about their products so i wouldnt take too much notice of anything they Told you
