Hi Guys,
Im no Genius when it comes to android, but I have done my fair share of programming before, but my SOD are killing me and a last resort is a warranty exchange as I cannot be without a phone.
So far I have been getting SOD about 5 times a day if not more, and I am one for tinkering with gadgets until i break or crash it, fix it and doing it all over again.
But anyway back on topic
I have noticed this in the build.prop
" persist.ril.mux.sleep=2 "
And so I wondered if this is causing my SOD, does anyone have any ideas regarding its uses?
Findings (as of 2155)
In my testing thus far I have changed it to "persist.ril.mux.sleep=1" using phone leaving it for an hour doing it over just for fun, And I have been SOD for 5 hours straight and haven't had any SOD or adverse battery drain
I mean this may not be the cause of the SOD for me, or anybody but I am up for trying just about anything
What is SOD?

Sorry, Sleep Of Death
I have SOD here too. To me it's only happens when I turned off a data connection (3G or wifi).
I use LoadMonitor app as a workaround for a while, with success.
At now I'm using Neutrino 2.5 CM7 ROM with success too. I think it's more a blur rom problem than cm7 one.
Let us know about your progress.
So if you disable load manager you would get SOD?
I am making a script to update a few things so far no SOD for me, after a few tweaks
What settings are you using on load manager ?
Any info you can give me will help in me tracking down some of the errors and temporary fixes people are using to avoid the dreaded issue
Oh, THAT's what that was!
I forgot to turn the wifi back on a few nights ago when I said "Hey, let's watch some movies on netflix with my super-duper mirroring-abled phone!" So an hour into it, LBE Privacy warns me I'm about to max out my data, and I go turn the damn wifi back on but turned OFF the 3G.
Then last night I go to wake up my phone and the screen is "black but on", & took a couple of tries to wake it. I'm on Nottachtrix.

I'm a bit confused here. I don't know what "load manager" is.
What a sad is I used LoadMonitor app (from market) as a workaround.
LoadMonitor just monitor taks that are running in your device. But it have an option that claims to prevent device deep sleep. So, when I checked this option my device don't get SOD.
It's a workaround, as I sad, and I don't know how LoadMonitor do that.
What is load manager?
Thanks
I had a similar issue, I installed SetCPU and set my minimum speed to ~456(faux 1.45 Kernel).
Never had the problem since.

I tried some roms and the only one I hadn't random reboots was jokersax11 alpha7 (ICI), now I'm on beta 0.2.0 and had reboots.
I'm having the same problem. I've tried 3 different ROMs. I used Nottachtrix, following the directions to the letter with reboots and hard locks. Recently I flashed back to 4.5.91 (w/pudding) and I was having the same issues. I noticed that on the hard locks, my phone appeared to be warm, so I used SetCPU at 216MHz and still had hard locks and random reboots. I've not set the lowest setting at 301 and so far I haven't had any reboots, but its only been about 5 hours. But I was having them at least once every few hours.
BTW - I also noticed that I only had the freezes and hard locks when the phone was running on the battery. I rarely had problems when the phone was on the dock or USB charger, however, I did have reboots when it was on the wall charger.
Another program you can try is call 'Wake Lock' available from the marketplace. I haven't used it yet, I'm still experimenting with load monitor.
Wake lock has a few different options and has some really good review.
I confirmed that Neutrino 2.5 CM7 Rom works great without reboots.
That's a patch you need to apply to correct a battery drain problem of the original version. Notorious544d are working in a 2.6 version including that patch.
To me it's working like a charm. I'm testing for two days but, of course, everyone needs to test it in your own device.
PS: Follow this instructions to install a battery drain patch in Neutrino 2.5 (or wait for a 2.6 version):

I was encountering that problem for a while but then I figured that something went wrong when I was flashing CM7 Beta. So I flashed Aura's ROM, and then Reflashed CM7 Beta and only experienced it once a month at most after that, Hope it helps

Atrix SOD & Random reboots related to Wifi?
Does anyone know if the Atrix SOD & Random reboots are related to WiFi. I've had my wifi off all day and I've had no crashes.
I'm going to run it for a few more days without Wifi and see what happens.
I don't know about other guys, but wifi and 3G was the cause of my Atrix SOD and reboot problems.
Solved it using Neutrino Rom CM7 based.
See you!
Still working on my SOD issue, but recently, I disabled most power options, turned off wifi, rebooted and I've been running for 2 days with no crashes. After day 3, I'm going to turn wifi back on reboot and see what happens.
Update 1
After 3 days with wifi disabled, I've had no crashes, no freezes or random reboots. I'm going to enable wifi again and see what happens.
Update 2
After turning enabling my wifi and using it briefly then turning it back off, I had a random reboot later that evening.
The more I used my wifi, the more frequent my crashes became.
Interesting side note
I can enable all my radios when plugged into the desktop charger and I won't experience any crashes, however, if plugged into to the AC charger, I've had reboots and freezes.

I have a problem where the clock / time will lag behind by a few minutes over time on EB01-based ROMs? I know that there were a few people that posted about this in the custom ROM threads, but I couldn't find any potential solutions.
I have tried auto-syncing the time off of the Verizon network, as well as manually setting the time - same problem in both cases. If it is relevant, I'm using a Blackhole 4.2 ROM.
(1) Does anybody else have this problem? It might help to see how widespread this is.
(2) Does anybody know of a solution to this?
I've had time issues with all of the EB01 roms I've tried. I think it has something to do with not having the original kernal or something (if I was a dev, I could fix it myself, lol). Anyway, the best solution I've found is to install "clocksync" from the market. It's free and you can set it to update every 30 seconds or so.
Hmm I keep hearing about clock lag on Froyo but I haven't had it on any of my roms. I've used stock, deodexed, super clean 2.3, and now black hole 4.21. No clock lag on any of them, my kernal has been switched off and on between voodoo and normal so idk. It's on auto sync from the network too so I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe try the EB01 Odin package?
I have been running different EB01 releases since it leaked, and I did not have this problem at all until yesterday. It doesn't seem to just slowly drift behind, but it does end up falling behind anywhere from 9-18 minutes from what I have seen so far. Then, it will just sync fine, as it is currently reporting the correct time.
I had the problem for a day and it seemed to go away when I reprogrammed my towers with the *228 function. If you haven't done that already, you should try that.
Never had this issue. Is this happening with the clock in the status bar or a widget? If its a widget it could be a task killer killing the widget and its not restarting. But if its the status bar clock I suggest you use eb01 clock remove.zip. ;-)
I'm with all the others never had batt issues, clock issues, or the infamous sleep of death.
Used my fascinating voodoo powers
I too am having problems. But I also have problems if I turn auto time sync off, so it leads me to believe it is some kernel issue? I've had this issue with Super Clean and Vanilla.
Is that *228 command 2 that you're suggesting?
This is certainly very annoying..

Excellent! I'll give this a whirl once wife is back with her phone! Thanks!!!
No issues as stated here. SC2.2.
good day.
Never had any of the EB01 issues till the clock lag. I just did the *228 since going to SC 2.6 so time (HeHe) will tell.
It's not enough to make me go off SC 2.x. It's only my 2nd day on SC 2.6 so I'm still watching the issue.
Have SC 2.7. I had the clock issue once, but it was fine after I restarted the phone and never had it again.
Only rooted/flashed once with Odin with EBO1 Debl/Deodex. Also using PhoneWeaver auto profiling.
I lose about a hour overnight when I let PW turn off the phone at 11:30 PM and back on at 6 AM. Last night, I tried turning OFF Automatic (use network provided values), and the phone lost 45 minutes in 2 hours. Turning Automatic back on manually didn't let the phone catch up until after a reboot.
My temporary solution is to let PW turn the phone back on an hour or 2 early so it will be sure to catch up before I need the alarm to go off, but it is a bit alarming to depend on it so looking forward to more complete Kernels/ROMs that I know are being diligently worked on as we speak.
FIXED: check out post #17
I didn't think posting this in each GB Rom thread and kernel thread would be appropriate so I'm starting here. Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Okay......After doing countless and wasted hours of searching and coming up empty handed, why is it that only a few of us are having the WIFI issue on the Gingerbread ROMs? It doesn't matter which ROM I use as soon as the screen cuts off, BAM, no WIFI or 3G data. And yes WIFI sleep policy is set to never and I've tried turning on Better WIFI performance and I've even tried every kernal out there, nothing works. FROYO ROMs are working fine so it's got to be either the Gingerbread ROMs or the Kernels.
Either way I'm okay with the issue not working (yet) and I understand that HTC hasn't released the source for the GB Kernel yet. All I would like is some clarification from the people that build these ROMs and Kernels that the WIFI is not working yet. I understand if you're in a 4G area, after all 4G is much faster than the WIFI anyway but for those of us not in a 4G area yet WIFI is king when at home or at work. So if the developers are using 4G constantly I understand the WIFI neglect, but I really don't think it's the developers. These guys are too smart to let something like that slide by! Can someone shed some light on the issue? Thanks again in advance!
This is not an issue with the leaked GB roms themselves or the latest kernels, because the wifi is working great for most people.
It is going to be helpful if you list which rom, kernel, and radio you are using. I did have a similar problem one time, my wifi was going to sleep when the screen turned off and went idle.
It had been working fine but I tried to take a shortcut and reflash the rom without wiping data because it was the same rom. After attempting that which was a bad idea but more of an experiment/learning session for me, I had exactly the problem that you stated.
After wiping my phone properly and flashing the rom, the problem was gone.
I have been running BAMF sence 3.0 with the MR2 radio. I tried MR2.5 and had some different small issues, MR2 has been working Great. Currently with BAMF 3.0 RC 3, the MR2 rom and the latest dreamKernel, everything is running perfectly, at least everything I use or thought of using.
The background data is extremely important for me because I communicate exclusively with my girlfriends using IM services such as gtalk with Trillian. So I wouldn't be able to run gingerbread if it wasn't working REALLY good.
Here's the thread that I use often as a resource. It discusses some issues similar to what you are dealing with, and is update very regularly
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086518
I'm having an identical issue to the OP. Running BAMF GingerREMIX 2.1, Imoseyon's 3.3.8GBTest+ , MR2 radio.
Wifi just disconnects when screen is off. When I turn the screen on, i can see the wifi indicator is all black (similar to no bars). Once it's on for a second or two, it lights up again, and I get whatever notifications I missed due to no data(email, etc).
Ive done the 3x data, cache, and dalvik wipe before flashing the ROM and before flashing the Kernel. It's absolutely DESTROYING my battery life. Since noticing the problem, i've re-wiped and re-flashed everything, didn't help.
Thanks for the response...I'm stumped then because I have tried every combination of kernal/ROM that is available out of the Gingerbread leaks. I recently last night tried BAMF Sense 3.0 RC3 and GINGERTH3ORY V4.5.1 and BAMF 2.1 Remix again along with both MR2 and MR2.5 radios. Nothing worked so I went back to the reliable Perfect Storm 1.5 ROM and left my radio at MR2.5
Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!

I did try the gingeritis 1.0 3D with dreamkernel but not lean. Maybe I'll give that a shot this evening but I'm not holding my breath...lol I've tried almost everything and known combinations that are working for others and all the wipes I can muster, nothing is working.
Okay I've been trying Gingeritis 1.0 3d with the lean kernel for a few hours hours now. When my screen turns off I will receive emails for a few minutes but then I stop receiving them until I wake the the phone up. Once i wake the phone up i start receiving messages likevi just turned it on from a good nights sleep. Does anyone know what's going on?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I've actually had this problem also ever since i moved to the Gingerbread. When the screen turns off and i turn it back off after awhile, the WiFi seems like it was sleeping the entire time. I get all my notifications when i turn the screen back on. And i do believe this has been killing my battery life a bit. I have wiped before i flashed. I tried it with the original GB radio/MR2/MR2.5. I've flash different kernels. Wifi sleep is set to never.
Note: I tried running an app such as Pandora on while the screen was off and only in situations like this the WiFi doesn't have the problem.
tethering is ****ed up as well in gb, screen off, no tether, screen on and everything is okay. personally i think that something is ****ed up at the kernel, i switched back to froyo and problems went away.
For the record.....if I set wifi sleep policy to never when plugged in I still receive notifications instantly but it's through 3G because when I wake the phone 3g is active instead of wifi.

This is something I've brought up before too, but nobody addresses it because there probably isn't an answer about a whether it's the kernel or rom. I've just come to terms that I can't use wifi. For those who are suggesting we didn't clear data appropriately, that's not the issue. Most of us who have this wifi problem have been determined enough to try multiple clean installs to get to the bottom of this issue.

Shall I throw another quirk into our problem?............... I flashed CM7.1 RC1 early this morning. This is the best ROM I've put on my TBolt yet. WIFI seems to be working flawlessly except for right after the initial install it wouldn't download anything, through browser or even open the market. After a reboot, I'm going strong. I am receiving messages and data when phone's screen is off. I'm beginning to think that it might be a Sense 3.0 problem....any thoughts from the peanut gallery?
The problem with GB is that it is not official. The ROM is not final (or has been ported from a different phone), kernel is not final, and neither is the radio. We shouldn't be surprised that a lot of features don't work properly. Now cyanogen do their own Roms and kernels basically from scratch, and maybe that is why it's working. GB was fun to have, but i just switched to Froyo for faster 4g speeds, ability to tether properly and better battery life. I'll wait for the proper GB before switching again.
Yeah not Gingeritis 3d but the normal version.... I've noticed also that it seems settings don't change, Like I have turned off Haptic feedback yet still get it when i type on the keyboard, and still get weather sounds with the sounds turned off. This is every time I flash even with 5 wipes. Settings don't seem to stick.

For the keyboard not turning off haptic feedback, you have to go to the settings in the keyboard to disable it. Settings->Language and Keyboard->Touch Input->Text Input->Uncheck Vibrate While Typing.
WI FI Alternative
And I thought I was the only one having problems with wifi tether on gingeritis 3D. I posted a question in a different forum but no one answered me. So after trying different versions of wireless tether I found one that is working perfectly for me. It is wireless tether v2.0.5. I've been using it for 2 days with no issues and phone screen doesn't have to be on. Now, this may not work for everybody, like I said I tried different versions until I found the right one.
Here is the link: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I hope this helps some of you.
Okay.......!!!!!!!! Thanks to the folks over at theMikMik.com (akaGingeritis ROMs) forums I now have working WiFi with the Gingeritis ROMs. Just download Advanced WiFi Lock from the Marketplace and set it up and you're good to go! Now that wasn't hard was it guys/gals? I've been looking for an answer for so long I can't even remember when I started....oh wait it was the first day that Gingerbread were available by these great developers!!!! Sorry, I didn't mean to vent, I'm not mad just very excited that now I can enjoy these Gingerbread ROMs. So everyone else that's having problems with the WiFi staying connected, download Advanced WiFi Lock from the Marketplace and get your Ginger on!
So is that the free version, or the paid version? You're finding that your WiFi now says connected even if the phone is sleeping? To do some more testing, I fully charged my phone, turned on my WiFi, and connected to my home wireless for 5 hours, just let the phone sit. Used 50% of my battery. Next day, same thing, but had WiFi off, 4g on. 5 hours later, used 15% of battery. Pretty sucky that I can't use my TB on my own home network.

I'm using the free version as the paid doesn't offer any extra features I needed. I left my phone connected to WiFi all night idle, about 7.5 hours, and only used 13% of battery and received all messages. I can't test on 4G so please provide feedback for others.

Not so lucky. Downloaded and installed advanced WiFi lock. Connected to my home wireless and see the same exact results. WiFi just sucking battery. Still draining at about 10% an hour on WiFi and about 3% an hour on 4g. I'm so confused over this, how is WiFi draining battery more than 4g? Phone isn't even usable on WiFi. Checking battery usage stats as noticed that the phone is constantly awake when WiFi is on.

One minor and a couple of major issues...
- Notification drop-down stops accepting touch input but can still be slid up and down. Reboot fixed
- Battery life is horrible. It's better with wifi set to turn off when the screen turns off, but I'm still losing about 10% per hour. With the stock 2.3.4 ROM I was able to go 16 hours and only drop to 80%. I've read maybe I need to let the battery discharge completely so that it can calibrate? I'll try that today.
- Cell connectivity is sketchy now. I've had problems making calls. Full bars, then it tries to connect and the bars drop to 0 temporarily, then come back up and the call fails. My SMS send success rate is about 75%, sometimes down to 25%. I've had multiple text messages fail to send and some texts I end up receiving minutes and sometimes hours later. This is a huge problem.
Overall I think this is a great leap forward and the phone is very fast now, but with the battery life and sketchy cell problems I may have to go back to stock.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I wish I could get this to be stable, and I understand it's still beta, but I have to go back to stock. If I didn't need the phone and SMS functions to be reliable then I'd stick with it, but I need my phone for work.
I'll keep an eye on how things progress and maybe try again down the road, but chances are I'll be upgrading to a Galaxy Nexus in a couple of weeks anyway. At least then I can use my X2 as a toy and not care about carrier stability.
I think these problems are rare, sorry. I do share the "wifi not reconnecting" but wifi fixer is a work around. This is a super daily driver. There was a screen blackout but I found non-compatable themes to be the problem.
We need a "This works check list kind of thread" so people know what does work. FWIW.
edit
This is the best battery life I have had on any rom.
Yeah, I also had the wifi not reconnecting problem but that was trivial. I'm back to stock now, the last straw was the phone not even reconnecting to 3G, I lost all data connectivity. I could deal with the battery and such, but the cell/data connectivity problems are a definite no-go for me.

My issues are (minor):
One of my game can not be played (Siegecraft - after downloading the game data, the system ends with "network error") all my other games play fine, so I don't know why.
Gallery app constantly re-starts when trying to view pics. No work around it. If anyone can suggest a good gallery replacement app, please let me know, I tried Gallery Plus (I think that is what it is called) and it also did the same thing.
Major issue (Maybe not an issue):
My wife claims that some phone calls are not going through (it rings from her end, but I am not hearing the ringing on my phone for some reason - I had 5 missed calls listed on my phone). That said, 3 or 4 test calls I made came through without any issues so maybe it is the issue with the ringer not being high enough for me to hear?
Overall, so far, except for the missed calls (which may not be an issue at all) it is a very good daily driver and hopefully after things settle down a bit more it will get even better.
Navigation/Maps/Latitude issue with GPS
When I go into Navigation or Maps or Latitude, especially Navigation, there is a constant message at the bottom of the screen "Searching for GPS".
When looking at Maps, you see the current position but the area is in a fuzzy circle. It didn't happen when I was on stock rooted 2.3.4.
I did see an option to use an external BT GPS but the external is not enabled.
Any ideas?
[EDIT] [Solved] After a reboot, GPS is working fine.

I had this same problem, reboot fixed but only temporarily as it returned last night again. As of right now I can't get the notification bar drop down to accept input without a reboot. I'm borderline on this being a showstopper as I live off of the notification bar...
I've poured through the settings, but haven't found anything that fixes it. I have the notification bar power widget turned on, turning that off hasn't made a difference either. I'm going to leave it off and reboot, and see if it comes back.
Do you have the notification power widget turned on?
For everyone having problems with CM7, I HIGHLY recommend going in and wiping both cache and dalvik-cache. (Not a data wipe.) This has fixed pretty much every problem I have run into with CM7.
Now for downloading large files, I have found that I have to use tasker to create a "power profile" that never turns off the screen. I do not have the WIFI loosing connection issue that has been reported, however I have noticed (on stock as well) that when the screen times out, downloads all fail or stop. Just my 2 cents.
Ciao!

Even though this was done after applying CM7 in BSR? Not sure why doing it again would make any difference, but stranger things have been known to happen.

By default it's set to turn wifi off when the screen turns off but can be set to "Never."
I would like to report the only problem I have had with CM7 on my DX2 is one of my apps not restoring data I backed up before flashing. Other than that, I LOVE THIS ROM! I used this ROM on my old Dinc and absolutely loved it then too. I feel at home with CM7, and since this is only a beta version, I can't wait for the final release!

I'll wipe, flash, boot CM7, reboot, wipe again, and see if things behave any better. I just went back to stock a few days ago and I'm ready to kill it again. Only 2.5 weeks to upgrade devices!
So I've read through the CM7 development threads and through this one regarding some of the issues. I am currently running on Liberty. Since I am still learning the Android world (read: I'm freaking clueless), would you guys suggest changing over to CM7, or staying with Liberty?
Thanks! (from the girl who's trying to learn...)

I have never run the liberty rom but i do recommend cm7. The only issue I've had is with wifi. It loses connection sometimes. I downloaded wifi fixer from the market. It doesn't fix the problem but it does reconnect wifi for me. Some have this problem and some don't.
Make a nandroid and give it a try. If you don't like it you can always go back to liberty.

Thanks so much!! I found the directions to give it a try, and realized it was waaaaay more complex than what I felt comfortable doing on my own. Plus, it said I would have to install it from Gingerbread... so that would be 2 installs to complete. May have to wait for my tech guru for this one! However, I'm excited to check it out!
(By the way, I realized that on the couple posts I have, you have helped with both of them. Double thanks. )

Good luck with whatever you decide but it really isn't as complicated as it sounds. Moonshadow has created some great tutorials to guide you through each step. And you are welcome for the help.

Looks like the notification issues returned for me, great timing. I noticed this time, that one of the notifications that is stuck there is partially Swiped off to the left. I took a screenshot but I'm a nub here and can't post the link.
On another note, I continue to have the wireless problems... dx2 keeps trying to connect, sometimes says disabled. I have set it to never turn off in the screen timeout section. Very weird...

Well, I went and reinstalled CM7 last night. I was diligent about clearing both caches both before and after install, and again a little later after reinstalling apps, plus I also cleared the battery stats.
Don't want to jinx it, but so far so good. Battery life has been very good, I easily went 16 hours and the battery was still > 50%. No call or SMS issues and no notification bug yet. We'll see how things work over the next couple of days...
I've got horrid battery life (down to 60% in 5 hours of LOW use) and some wifi issues (sometimes has a hard time connecting, sometimes not).
I'm going to try the davlic and cache wipe and report back.
Whenever my phone goes to sleep, and I try and turn on the screen again, it simply reboots. This occurs in airplane mode with nothing enabled as well
Unlocked, CM7. I flashed different roms and they all had this, I don't think it happened on stock.
Any fixes? All the threads I've seen have no real info
Seems like your system files might be corrupted. Wipe system partition from fastboot or cwm then reflash your rom. Any time I had weird stuff happen on a rom, I wipe the system then it goes away. Hope this helps you get rid of this issue. Good luck!

Doesn't work, just wiped system, cache and dalvik, then flashed rom and sod's still happen.
I have also tried flashing several radios, all with sod's. Any suggestions?
wakelock
I had this problem on stock and every rom I tried (this was actually the reason I unlocked) I installed wakelock app from the market. I set it on partial wakelock. I think it keeps phone from going into deep sleep. It worked for me. I think it may make battery life a bit worse but having to pull battery sucks. Since I also have the issue on stock I am prob sending it in on warranty

So you've had SODs since you got the phone? Wakelock seems to work, but kills the battery.
For anyone who does NOT have SODs what modem/radio are you using?
Yes had them since I got the phone. Wakelok fixed it for me. Battery life is not horrible. It still last me like 14 hrs moderate use. I have tried radios and everything else I could thing of. Think mine is hardware related. That is why I am sending it in. I was surprised to find out it was still under warranty
I've just noticed that when mine shuts down, it gives a green notification first, then when I try turning the screen it, it reboots.
Unfortunately, my phone is out of warranty, I bought it used
SODs still happen in airplane mode.
Try wakelock and post if that fixes it.
Call Motorola directly. I bought two used. Had the same problem. They replaced them both with new units.

Just don't say anything about buying it used.
Good luck.
As posted above, wake lock works but uses battery.
I live in Canada and am out of warranty, would I still be able to call?
It's worth a try. You have nothing to lose.

I had the same problems.. but mine happens when phone gets above 35°C.. So I activate wakelock at this time until i see temp is lower than that.. after that I disable wake lock.. it's a pain in the ass.. but it is better than pull the battery out once every 15 min..

Is there something specific about 35C, and are you sure it is exactly that?
I have installed 2.3.6 Bell and I still get reboots, anyone have a link to stock 2.2.1 Bell SBF that I can try?
sometime 35 sometime 36.. but above that temp.. sod kills me.. under that temp phone runs smooth..
I'm a system enginner but I haven't program in years.. I'm thinking seriously in create just a services to read temp and launch a wake lock when temp reache some level..
I'm pretty sure I will help lot of people but aint sure when i can start doing some work

my phone would not actually reboot but in went into SOD (sleep of death) so every time this has happened to me i installed a new kernel or reinstalled the one i had.........always rectified the issue.
Same issue
I had the same problem when I flashed CM9 and then when I downgraded back down to CM7, I tweaked the kernels I used and changed my UV settings and it hasn't happened since. Perhaps flash a different kernel and see if that works?

Tried several of them, this seems to happen on stock 2.3.6 as well.
I flashed a stock sbf to return to stock. Still had the sleep of death. Reboots after and during phone calls, and touch screen problems. I believe it is hardware related.
Hello guys ...
I have a problem that I think is well known to you.
Since I changed the stock ROM on my phone, it turns off itself.
This only happens when the screen is off, and it happens even if I listening music.
Sometimes it happens as soon as I lock the screen (delay 2s and it turns off).
In an attempt to discover what it is, I downloaded the app CatLog and started recording the LogCat. But when I to recording the logcat, it doesn't turn off. I already left him one day and a half (this app really sucks the battery) and it does not shut down. And it also doesn't turn off if it on charge.
The ROMS and Kernels I tried are:
MROM CM7 (HV and SV Kernel)
neutrino
Nottatrix 4G (International and both the Tegra version)
Original CM7.2 (Stable and Nightly)
and 2 others that I can't remember the name.
The only ROM that doesn't rebooting (stayed two days without rebooting) was MROM CM9.
And I saw that some people talked about the AT & T SIM, but my phone was bought here in Brazil, and obviously, from another carrier (Claro) and have this SIM (from another carrier: Oi) at 6 month.
What is happening??
Thanks a lot.

Same problem here,
Try wiping dalvik Cache about 10 times ..it worked for me ...
I also had this problem ...but it got solved becaz I had a backup of good runing rom without SOD
Can you turn the phone on if it shuts down or do you have to remove battery? I had the problem only on Neutrino rom, but I didn't do a clean install so I thought it was that
I had this problem in all ROMs based on Android 2.3.x. .. including all kernels from nottatrix, with some of them the phone not started.
But I do not have this problem with the new kernel (3.1.10) .. or with CM9 nor the CM 10.1 Epinter. The problem with this kernel is when it heats up very much, the screen tearing.
And no, I do not need to remove the battery ... if I hit once as if I turn on the screen, he turn on himself.
I've tried to save the logcat with the application Catlog and put him to save every 1 line, but not the right ... he save the log a few minutes before turning off.
As the 3.1.10 kernel works, I believe that is not a hardware defect.
My memory is: 0x00EF (0xBEEF)
TegraTevision: A03 prime
Tegraparts: mbr: 1100:100:800
thanks ...

The post just above yours has a solution... read it.
Sadly I am also on 10.1 and am also using kernel 3.1.10 but it does not stop my device from shutting down.

So what you're saying is that an ALPHA STAGE KERNEL AND ALPHA STAGE ROM is giving you random shut downs? What's that old saying about ALPHA STAGE anythings? Major bugs present, not suitable for daily use, use at your own risk rings a bell. Also, some devices will have the random reboot/shut down bug. That goes back to board revision. Personally, I deal with the reboots and I'm on the same ROM.

I too deal with reboots but my experience is the same as MaxiPresi in that I had this problem in all ROMs based on Android 2.3.x. .. including all kernels from nottatrix AND the current CM stable 7.2.0 so the issue I'm experiencing is NOT only because this is an alpha build !
I've also replaced my battery for a new one but still the issue remains..

In the post that I replied to, you only stated that you had issues with CM10.1/3.1.10 kernel, which is why my post was worded the way it was. you didn't specify that it was also with GB based ROMs as well. The only thing that makes sense at this point is a board/hardware related issue. As I briefly said in my last post, we all have different board revisions. We all won't see the same results. Thats why you see people talking about having screen tearing issues when others have no issue. I suspect its the same in regards to this issue.
