Go here and follow the directions to a tee..all the links you will need are in the first post..it may be overkill but if your phone truly is borked this will get it working but back to stock and you will have to reinstall your rom again.
my phone freezes when I overclock too much and I just pull the batt instead of three finger booting but I have never had a problem with it not booting after a freeze..that's how I find out how much overclock I can handle!
I keep clocking higher and higher and running
Quadrant, using the camera and a few other things to really load the cpu and I do this until it freezes
Then I turn it down one setting and retry to load the cpu to get it to freeze until it stops.
Anyways the link below may be overkill but it will get your phone back and, if you try to over clock again and it freezes you should be able to just pull the batt and re insert..good luck! I hope you get your phone back.

Not sure whats going on, it doesn't reboot and it only does it when on battery (Not plugged in) When I am using the phone, actually touching it going through menus it normally stays on but as soon as I let it sleep or anything it turns off... I have updated it and ruued it and tried different roms re-rooted.... out of ideas but currently have a phone that doesn't work as a phone as it just turns off all the time, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sound like what many are calling the "sleep of death".
Dumb question, only having these problems when rooted and non stock ROM? So if you root, and leave it stock everything else, does it die? If you fully return to stock does it die? If so, and if it was me, Is exchange it.
If it doesn't die on the above, then:
Some phones prefer the interactiveX governor over ondemand...you can change this using speedtweak.sh on just about every kernel but ziggy's kernels. You can also try using setCPU to do it if you aren't comfortable using the terminal.
Read the thread of the ROM you are running to get more info about the kernel that its running on. The kernel devs here are usually very helpful.

Thanks for the response, and well no it always does it even on completely stock no root. The weird part is it doesn't turn off while plugged in at all... Could this be a battery issue? I have tried almost every rom on here and same thing once unplugged it will work while I'm actively using it. Then shut off as soon as I stop...

Return your phone, it meats criteria, trying to figure it out is just going to give you a headache, your not a tech, don't try and be one. Turn it in, get a free replacement, flash away and be happy with your phone!

It was a gifted phone purchased outright, I have no warranty through Verizon or anything, I have every intention of figuring it out.
It seems almost as if the issue is in the batter somewhere... It stays on and functions perfectly on the charger.. but once only on battery power it turns off..

+1 You are right, got it backwards. Running a rom that I don't have to tweak finally so I'm a bit rusty.
To OP, if it does it on stock, then you might be able to get them to trade you. Unfortunately, many bolts are just bad. Good luck.

So no thoughts on the battery thing then? These batteries do have some sort of "brain" in them right? Is there someway that could have become corrupt?
I was thinking this because it works so well on the charger, this has become a project phone for me at this point as I have acquired a G2X and get cheaper service and have 4G in my area on it anyways. So I am willing to try whatever, basically this is a very non stock phone, but atm has been RUUed to stock, and still has these issues, I have RUUed it a few times by this point.

do you use setcpu ?
I had the same problem , so I used setcpu profiles and limitedthe CPU speed while on sleep to 3xx-4xx.
It worked for me. When it goes to 184mhz that's was my problem.
yes, wipe your batt stats.
even if it was a gift, it still has a warranty through verizon and htc that you can use. If you think the battery is bad, why not buy a cheap replacement battery on ebay/amazon?

Well I was hoping someone else had the same issue, I am going to try and go to a vzw store today and see if I can get someone to let me use a battery for a bit to test that theory. I will post back when I find out more.
As for wiping of the battery stats for some reason clockwork just errors when I try to wipe bat stats..

I have exact same issue. I have three batteries and it does with all three. Mine too does not do it while plugged in. Tried different ROMS and Kernels and Radios to no avail. Didnt do it b4 I rooted. Started doing it when I switched to Gingerbread ROM. I am going to try going back to a Froyo and see if that helps. That is what I would suggest. I am probably going to try and put back to stock and Return. Luckily I bought at BestBuy and have warranty through them.
Just started happening today.When charging my phone it will turn on. Does anybody know of a fix or what the cause is?

Do you mean randomly some time after plugging in the charger, but not the 100% notification?
Screen turns on when a charger is plugged in, and also at 100%. A custom ROM can fix the 100% notification.
randomly, comes on about 1-2 minutes after plugging in
i don't have the answer, but i think we're talking about powering the phone off then charging. it's supposed to just show a battery pic but is powering back on. it might be the kernel you're using. that's what people said it was when i tried Sprint's version. mine didn't power back on with this model, but i haven't tried it lately.
using Zedomax stock kernal,phone is off ,plug in to charge normall battery pic will appear after a minute or so it will boot up on it's own

Can't help but sure sounds strange... Have you tried to reflash and see if the problem persists?

Make sure that the rom you are using is one which is designed for the SGS i777 phone.
It might even be a good idea to re-download the rom just incase the first download
some how got corrupted during downloading.
Do a clean fresh "wipe data/factory reset" and re-flash the rom but don't flash any custom
kernels and don't install any apps at all until you have had enough time to see if the
problem still persists.
Flashing roms like any of the i9100 rom or any other rom which was not
intended for our phones can cause unexpected and random issues.
Good Luck!
I have the same problem. I turned off the phone to charge up, a min later, the phone automatically turns on by itself. I rooted it with Zedomax kernel (SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel) before. Could this be the cause? Any other users have the same problem?

Not true. There are minor differences between i777 ROMs and GT9100 ROMs. The main differences are the radio, kernel, and button mapping; which have all been fixed with Hellraiser and HapticFix.

My phone does the same thing. I don't consider it to be a problem because my phone is rarely ever turned off. I wouldn't be too concerned about it. If it bothers you enough, you could always do a warranty exchange. Personally, I'd rather live with a minor annoyance, than have AT&T send me a refurbished replacement.

You can try out nomoarpowah app. It replaces the battery charging 'off' screen with one that has reboot controls and shows the time.
It might be able to stop the phone from booting itself. Not to mention it's really cool and will only work on Samsung phones.

Try Entrophy's kernel to see if it does the same. Screen off charging is controlled by the kernel from what I'm told. When I was running MIUI it use to do that until they added the function in the kernel.
EDIT:
I just decided to try it since I never charge that way....lol and mine did it as well.
ah well.... I think this may be an issue.

Well if it's any consolation my phone is doing it too. I guess I never left it off long enough. Starts right up after a minute or so.
But once this issue gets figured out I'm sure you'll really like the app. It's good to turn off the phone every once and awhile. And with it you can set it to boot the phone when it's done charging or at a specific time.
Running unnamed 1.3 with dd11232011 kernel

I'm also having this problem. Is it hardware? I have the latest unnamed rom. Phone won't stay off no matter what...I've tried pulling the battery and everything.

i am having the same issue, using a zedomax kernel, if anyone has a solution i would like to hear it, i like to be able to shut the phone off when charging it some times, it seems to charge faster when its off
This is a known issue with my kernel's 11/23 release, and ONLY that release for my kernel, it was a result of adding support for the Interactive governor.
I have no clue what the results might be for Zedo's kernel - he released one kernel, lots of people had problems with it, then he disappeared. He probably enabled Interactive governor too.
It could also affect CM7, I know for a while CM7 builds had issues with not supporting LPM at all - CM7 devices would go to the bootanimation and stay there.

Factory reset is an option
Root, flash custom ROM
Flashing will increase battery life, and the responsiveness of your phone
Same thing happened to it kept doing it over n over T-Mobile didn't do anything they're gonna send u a battery. That's all I rooted flashed new rom n one of faux older kernels new ones not stable I'd say underclocked to 1188 n phones been running great and battery last me 10-12 hours which for anyone with an amaze knows that's alot lol

The same exact thing happened to me when my Amaze was new. It shut down on it's own almost daily, but sometimes it would take a few days until it shut itself off and I think it went as long as 4 days one time. My phone is stock. I thought about returning the phone, but never got around to it and now that I have had it for a few months it has just stopped shutting off on it's own. I don't think I changed anything, but the phone works perfectly now.
I wish I could give a definitive answer on how to stop the shut down's, but I tried various things and nothing seemed to help. Somehow it fixed itself over time.

I'm in the same boat as the OP.
Bought the Amaze brand new and it would reboot itself 2-3 a day when it was just sitting on my desk at work or home.
I rooted it and removed the T-Mobile bloatware, made no difference.
I then put Bulletproof rom on it and made no difference.
I then put Faux123 kernal on it with the Bulletproof rom...no difference.
I got a new battery and it made no difference.
Phone just reboots 2-3 times a day. It locked up overnight last night and I overslept since I use it as an alarm too.
Dunno what else to do...

Changing from Stock kernal to Faux123's didn't resolve it for me either. In the Energy Rom thread a couple people said once they flashed his rom that their reboot's went away. I just flashed it today and we'll see what happens.
I'm still on Faux123's kernal with the Energy Rom. If it reboots still, I might switch back to Stock kernal with Energy Rom to see if that makes a difference.
Phone just locked up and rebooted using Energy Rom with Faux123 kernal. Just installed Stock kernal, we'll see what happens...
Well I'm stumped and frustrated. The Amaze is a great piece of hardware but it seems to have rebooting issues just like the LG G2x did.
I have the stock kernal with Energy Rom and I've wiped it and have no apps installed. And after a couple hours it still locks up and reboots.
I'm about ready to dump the phone.
No matter what kernal/Rom I use...it just reboots after a couple hours time...
Are you using any sort of task managers or probably a certain app causing it to reboot. Do a factory/data reset and don't install anything for 24hrs and see if the problems continue. Also, you should backup the contents of you external sdcard and re-format it. And do the same with your phones internal memory card. There could be a file on there (maybe from a previous Android Device) that is not cooperating with the Amaze. Just gotta figure it out. Good Luck.

I don't know if T-Mo will see it this way, but assuming you take, or have already taken, Double0EK's advice above, I'd try to get T-Mo to replace it as hardware defective. I've had zero reboots and I ran stock for 6 weeks and the Energy ROM for nearly two.
I've only had this happen a few times and was wondering if anyone had this happen to them also. I'm rooted and run custom roms, it doesn't seem to be rom or kernel dependent.
For example, I had my phone on since noon and haven't really used it since then except a few times to check the time. I just pulled my phone out of my pocket and hit the power button... nothing. I held it down and it started to boot up. When this happens the battery is never dead (it was at 68% with the ext. battery this time), it just wants to turn itself off. It seems to happen when the phone is "sleeping", it's never done it when I'm actively using the phone so it's not an overheating issue.
It's not really annoying since it doesn't happen often, it just confuses me.

still you might want to check the rom and kernel just in case, either re-flash or change.
if the problem still happens, use your warranty and get a new phone.
what rom, kernel, and recovery are you using?
I actually just happened earlier again. Got a text from a friend that she was here, so I went down and let her in, came back up and went to check my phone a few minutes later and it was off. WTF.
I'm currently using Nils newest business sense with the OC'd ICS kernel and the latest Amon Ra recovery. This used to happen on GB also so it's not a rom/kernel problem IMO.
It happens so sporadically (except for tonight apparently) that it's maybe happened 5 times since I got it on release day.
Maybe I have the governor in cpu master set too low? I have it at the lowest of 384 MHz, I've always wondered this: whats the difference between conservative and powersave?
did it happen while you were on stock GB or on a custom rom and kernel? maybe try relocking and running stock for a while and see what happens?
I honestly don't remember, it's been too long lol. It's not worth it to go back to stock and relock considering I like ICS too much.

that's the issue right there, run the stock kernel at stock speeds.
How could it be the ICS kernel when it's happened on GB also?
Which OC? I've read that the 1.8 causes random stuff like this, but 1.7 doesn't.

Not all phones can handle overclocking.
Mine is stable about 98% of the time, it may actually be the extended battery that is causing the issue.

9x out of 10 random reboots are from either undervolting too low or overclocking too high.
I went back to the stock kernel since it seemed to be a little choppy with the oc'd kernel. That may have been the problem after all.
