I am wondering if anyone else has seen this. I am playing a game - today it was tip off, my battery is at 80% charge, wifi is turned on. During the game my screen suddenly goes black. I can't do anything. Then after several minutes I am able to shut down and restart. Then google services framework will fc and my main screen will be dark for 30 sec. to 1 minute. Then I will see the sd card load and screen will come back on. This is only the second time this has happened and each time I think that I have bricked it. I am not sure if something is getting hot while playing a game, but I would not think that this simple basketball games is intensive enough to cause it to overheat nor is the battery low.
Any thought or tips to what this may be would be appreciated.

so every once in a while, i'd say every 4 or 5 days... i'll take my phone off the charger and start my day like normal. but on these days, (sometimes i notice and do a hard reset before all this happens) the upper half of the phone will get really warm and even if i do absolutely nothing on my phone, my battery will drain from full to dead in 3-4 hours.
has anyone else noticed this? i'm thinking it may be some sort of cpu cycle leak or some sort of infinite loop some background driver might get itself into.
its pretty annoying if i dont catch it right away and an hour after i unplug my phone while i'm at work to take my phone out of my pocket and have it over half battery gone already.

I have noticed the 'staying warm after charging sometimes' phenomenon....I also sometimes leave it charging all night but it doesn't seem to charge, even though the light is on. I think this is somehow connected to the wonky power button behavior...I get a green light on full charge sometime....i've never seen it turned green while powered off.....sometimes it won't turn on while plugged in, sometimes I need to do a battery pull, sometimes the SD card too, sometimes I need to press the power button a million times or hold it extra extra long....sometimes the charging light doesn't come on and it does charge, sometimes the light comes on and it doesn't...sometimes it gets really hot after charging and doesn't cool down after sitting idle....I usually just shut it off for a minute and turn it back on...somehow.
This is definitely one of my pet peeves with this phone...I also think this is linked to some phones never turning back on again, corrupted bootloader/recovery after a 'fastboot' shut-down or hot restart...
I'm diggin' the phone, don't get me wrong, but....I can't wait for the nPrime...
yeah, but it's less so the problem of it getting warm (pre or post charging) and moreso that it will start heating up a lot and you can tell that something is running the battery down in the background, the only way to stop this is to do a battery pull restart.
has anyone had similar issues with their phone going from full battery to dead in a few hours because of a hidden bugged process or something similar?
bump 10 char
I had that happen after tuning airplane mode off then back on. But that's itt
Sent from my HTC Evo 3D.
This happened to me this morning, first time and it was very weird. I've left it charging overnight per usual and this morning when I woke up and unplugged it, it had only 10% battery left. I tried charging it in my car on my way to work and have it plugged in to my computer USB now. I disabled a bunch of stuff as shown on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141221
And it's now starting to charge.
I did however just update to showdown rom and had setcpu on 1.7 conservative. It still should have charged but I'm guessing a stuck process/bug drew all the power last night.
so heres the story:
when i lock the phone, the screen turns off as normal. but when i hit the power/home button to wake it and unlock it, nothing happens. literally, nothing happens. its as if the phone has turned itself off.
So whats happened is, I left the phone on the charger last night. it woke perfectly this morning when the alarm went off. no issues there.
I put the phone into my pocket and headed into work. i went to check my phone when i got on the bus and this was the first tme that I noticed that the phone wasnt waking. i eventually pulled the battery to get the phone to restart. i tried it again and the same thing happened.
later I made a phone call. the same thing happened again when i took the phone away from my head (the screen didnt restart, and I couldnt hit the End Call button cause there was none.)
since then, i've figured that to make sure the phone doesnt go to permanent sleep i have to do one of 2 things,
1) keep the phone music player running constantly, or
2) keep the phone connected to the usb charger.
clearly this isnt exactly practical for a mobile.
im not running any other Rom, its still the stock rom, android v 2.3.5, not rooted or anything else?
is this somethign anyone else has seen?
its called 'sleep of death' or SoD. some people has experienced this and some are able to fix it. it depends on what is causing it.
some blame it to the battery and the battery's contact point..
sometimes it fix itself after few reboots..
cheers for the info. Ill look into it and see if its worth trying to fix or just sending back.
no problem, i have this problem and cant do anything about it. i used load monitor to keep the phone awake, u/v a bit so it wont drain so much battery. but battery drainage still noticeable like 1% every 5 min..
just wondering, does it feels hot/warm near the camera lens when it happens? bcause mine does.
not particularly.
i finally got through to my provider and will be able to get it fixed/replaced soon. they just dont half drag their feet
So my Rezound will occasionally just shut off. It always happens while the screen is off (so not while I'm using it). But I'll go to try and turn it on to no avail. And I am forced to do a battery pull to get it working again.
Recently whenever I try to restart my Rezound it hangs on the HTC Logo for over a minute and never leaves until I press the power button and then press it again.
Any thoughts?
Edit: Also I just noticed, this has never happened before, but the screen is now showing the blue flicker like crazy. I always got the blue flicker here and there very fleetingly but now its every few seconds and the entire screen turns blue.
Shutdowns?
Are you undervolting or underclocking? I've had problems when using a screen off profile with clocks and voltages that are too low. It caused my phone to get into a deep sleep state that would need a battery pull to get it back.
I'm assuming you're running an ICS rom since you mention the blue flicker? Did you update the rom recently? Apparently if you set the animation to 1.5x it reduces it IIRC.
I've had mine shut off on it's own a few times. I'd leave it on at night and when I went to use it in the morning it would boot up instead of just showing the lockscreen, I assumed it was because the battery was dead but it would be at like 80%. Still never figured out why it does that, only happened a few times.
A while ago I was just merely scrolling through Chrome and my social media accounts, and I noticed that my device was starting to overheat. I didn't mind it at first, but while I was trying to change my wallpaper, it suddenly turned off. I took off my phone case and felt my device, and it was really hot. I remember checking Clean Master before my phone turned off, and it said that my phone was 44% hotter than usual. I tried turning it back on, but it wouldn't budge, no matter how many times I would long-press the power button. I ended up taking off the battery and plugging it back in and powering it up, but when the phone finally powered up, its battery dropped from 25% to 13%! I was really alarmed.
It's only happened once, though, but it really alarmed me, and I don't want to risk breaking my phone. I've only had it for a month
Anyone know the reason behind this? I don't remember doing anything extensive during that time period. My phone has also suddenly turned off once, but it wasn't overheating or anything.
My galaxy a5 heated up once. I was running virus scanning from CM security and I accidentally put my phone under my pillow and within 3-5 minutes it heated up like anything. So if you are running any anti virus scanning than it will be advisable to put the phone out of the case.
It's normal if this happens once in a while but if it happens often than it may be a battery problem.
Hello,
I had today six phone crash! Five crashes was in one hour! I dont know why...
Crash i mean it is not fast reboot (phone show in moment bootanimation, as systemui or fast reboot), but phone in one second shutdown (as shutdown what in shutdown button in microsd slot), and after few seconds phone start up normally. This did me for five times, when i started phone for six time, i put it under water and cooled it and set performance goovernor to cpu.I mean its beacause overheating, but i looked (between crashes) to temperatures and it was normal. Normal temperature is that temperature what is in every day, my phone about 65-75*C, not hot, and phone want hot to touch. In Diagnostics app here is five system crashes, all from 17:02 to 17:40, all from today.
Do anybody knows what it is and why it did?
