For the last two days my phone has been anything off at random... nothing has been changed... I'm on the cm9 nightly from the two days ago... this is the thing tho... If I gentely tap the phone it will shut off or shake it... so I figured maybe after time the batter is lose... but it also is turning off if it sits completely still...unless its playing music. It has not turned off since Round 8 ad I have just had it playing music this full time ...any ideas??
I already did a full wipe and re install and when I get home I'm going to Oden back to stock and redo everything.

My only suggestion at this point is odin back to stock 2.1.
Unfortunately this sounds like symptoms of hardware failure. I had a phone (cliq) which would do the exact thing as you described...the phone would vibrate shut off and reboot unexpectedly. I would open the physical keyboard and it would also shut off...this is totally hardware related from my understanding. But that is the worst case scenario.
Hopefully it is a software related issue in your case. Not much else i can say.

Overclocked? Voltages changed at all from default? If you have anything set in voltage control or setcpu, get rid of them and try it. You could also try booting into recovery and see if you can reproduce the problem. That should also help determine if it is software or hardware related.
If the phone is plugged in it does not seem to reboot. i have not had time to mess with it i will check it out this weekend. Weird because it only seems to be doing this at work? I have not had it restart on me at all while at home.
Also if i have the music playing it will not turn off. This weekend im going to oden back to stock and see how it goes. otherwise gonna try to deal with it long enough till the gs3 comes out, ha.

hi,
this is really starting to get on my nerves big time.
I already had the instance 3 times in the past few weeks that my hero woul freeze during sleep mode!
i just don't know what the reason is, because im not doing anything with it, it just sleeps.
i cant turn on the display, and i cant even do a soft reset.
only way out is to take out the battery, and i hate that because opening the backcover is a pain.
Anybody got an idea?
i am having the exact same problem.. not sure if it happened before the ROM update or not.
Its most annoying.

Just happened to mine for the first time
I got a feeling it has something to do with either Wifi or GPS in the radio rom.
Which radio rom are you guys using? Mine is 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18.
Lately my tab has been turning off by itself and it takes me a long time to turn it back on by holding the power button. Has a fix been found for this problem yet? I'm a little worried that one day the thing won't turn on again. Sometimes the tab is charged when it turns off, and I'm never using the thing when it does, so battery isn't really the issue. Any suggestions?

Are you rooted? Running a custom ROM? Running any extra mods at all?
No, I'm fully stock,never been rooted. Willing to root if the problem can be fixed though through a rom or something
i've made good strides in combating this.
But, you must have CWM installed in order to flash.
When you are ready to do this, then head over to the dev section, kernel thread.
In the meantime, set wifi to never sleep, and see if that cures some of it.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

To be honest if you have a completely stock machine I would call samsung and get them to check it, it sounds faulty. I work for a large computer retailler and haven't seen a single one behaving like yours out of hundreds.

This is really beginning to annoy me. Cant keep the thing to stay on unless it is plugged in to the AC adaptor. Shuts off withing 15 seconds of being unplugged. Running AOKP rom and everything started last night. Have had transfromer since February and Asus support said some bs like their servers are overloaded and to call again in 4 hours.

I know it sounds noobish, but did you check display settings? There is a 15 second screen time out option...maybe it's set to that? There's also a " always keep device awake while plugged in" option.
Otherwise I would go ask jermaine151 about that...he's extremely helpful.
I just came back to AOKP Milestone 5 an hour ago, and I'm not having any problemos.
Other than that, maybe a simple reflash might help.

Damn...if it does that across multiple ROMs and it's not settings it sounds like a hardware problem...sucks ass man.
Only other thing I would try is going back to the stock kernel if you're not already running it.
Don't know man..maybe someone else can shed some light.
Curious, you say it only stays on if plugged in to the charger? Does it stay on then if it's attached to the keyboard dock? If you have one..

I ordered a keyboard dock a week or so ago so hopefully it will fix my problem. I open the battery calibration app and it says i have 7mv!!! I am pretty sure ASUS will not fix it or give me a new one because it has an unlocked bootloader. Maybe if i brick it where it wont get past the first bootscreen they wont know?
Minor Update
Tried Flashing Stock Kernal -No Luck
50th Battery Recalibration - No Luck
Wiped/Factory Restore - No Luck
Slammed Transformer on desk in frustration - Sucess!!!
So far been running it for 30 minutes and no shut down. Maybe violence is the key to all our problems?

Hey guys. this isn't my first rodeo so no flaming.
I keep getting random reboots on my phone. It happens about every 15 minutes to an hour. I've flashed stock and did a full factory reset. I've tried new kernels... What are my other options? This is starting to get on my nerves
My suggestion is going back to bone stock with no adjustment.

Already did... I'll try again tonight.
Also, reboot seems to stop when plugged in?

Are you undervolting?
Any 3rd party accessories? (Batteries, etc.)
Could be a hardware issue
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
No hardware accessories and no undervolting. I made sure to stop the UV when the reboots started occurring. I'm by no means a dev, but i've been around a while and this just baffles me.

It could just be a bad battery. I'd suggest wiping and flashing back to stock. If the reboots continue, you can probably get AT&T to give you a replacement.
I'm getting the same problem as you. Before I started flashing (I'm still seeing the problem in AOKP, too), it was happening on the stock rom. I'm going to flash back to stock and see if that helps for me.
By the way, I think it's a hardware issue also. It seems like the reboots are more frequent when I'm holding the phone or when it is in my pocket, maybe the contacts in the battery are the problem? It happens if I just sit the phone on my desk also, so I know I'm not accidentally holding the power button
EDIT: 1
Okay, after flashing back to the stock rom, the problem persisted. I just picked my phone up and it turned of as soon as I lifted it. Have you noticed that lifting/touching is related also?

My problem was also hardware related... it seemed to stem from a wonky power button. I contacted ATT and in 15 hours, FedEx had my new phone at my door. Win.
I was in the bathroom yesterday and my Evo 4g LTE started buzzing a lot. I had no idea what was going on, and the phone was just flashing screens. It was going between my homescreen, and a long-press on the home button(that shows all the screens together). At this point, I figured it was a hardware problem, and I still think it is. The problem is, my phone is unlocked, and it's running CM10 on it. I have no idea what I should do. It always has it's case on(otterbox), and I also have only dropped it a few times in the last month, from only about 2 feet high max. The last time I dropped it was a few nights ago. Once again, it just randomly started doing this. I tried flashing CM10 again, and it didn't help, it still acts like i'm pressing the home button non-stop, even in TWRP. I really need ALL the help I can get. I cannot afford to get a new phone.
Did you flash the stock rom, that would probably let you know if it a custom rom causing the problem? If it still does it, you might need to take it in to get looked at.
Take the case off and see what happens.

I took off the case, did not fix it. I flashed stock rom and it did not fix it. Where do I need to go to get it looked at? Sprint i'm assuming?
Yeah, make sure it's a corporate store that does repairs, don't go to some third party store, they normally aren't any help.

Okay, sorry it took me so long to reply. The phone might go a day and do the homescreen thing, but the next day it might work. It hasn't done it since about 2 pm yesterday and now it started up again. I also noticed that when I press on the right side of the screen, it makes a clicking noise. Can I get it repaired even though it's s-off, unlocked bootloader, and has a custom rom on it?
