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?
Don
reflashed still there

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.

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 don't have this issue on miui if it helps...
IIRC, I also didn't have the issue with UnNamed, but its been a while since I ran that.

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.
Okay, this may be an issue with just ME & my Atrix, or it may be every single Atrix on the planet.. I don't know - which is why I'm creating this thread.
When I "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM (something I do quite often, as I'm a flash addict) it is PAINFULLY slow.
Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but it takes at least 30 seconds
(I haven't thought to time it until I started typing this sentence lol - maybe next time) - I thought that this was just how long such an operation took (despite the fact that a fastboot -w is done in just a few seconds)
UNTIL I rooted and flashed a custom ROM to my mother's Samsung Galaxy S a couple of hours ago - which finished the operation in fastboot-esque speed.
So.. Firstly - is this something everybody has to put up with?
If not - what do you think caused this, and what could be done to speed things up a bit?
I've always hated Samsung phones, but after rooting/flashing/setting up that SGS earlier, my Atrix is suddenly looking less attractive..
Are you using the CWM Touch recovery? I was having an issue of speed with it so I switched back to romracer's. Its much faster than the touch version for me.

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me....I'm getting kind of desperate here! Basically my Atrix keeps randomly rebooting or getting stuck with the screen off (requiring a batter pull) . This happens about 10-20 times a day (my Atrix is far too unreliable right now to use as a daily). This seems to ONLY happen when on network (ie 2g/3g/hspa) and doesn't seem to happen on wifi. I can leave it on all night and day at home on wifi happily with no trouble but as soon as I go to work and leave it on network, the trouble starts. Its weird cause if the phone is doing something with the screen off (playing and streaming music over Bluetooth for example) it won't have any problems. Its only once I leave it at rest on the network that it turns into the most unreliable handset ever.
At first I thought it may be the neutrino rom I was running but I've since been using jokersax's amazing ics builds and the same problem persists. I did a full clean (format /data & /system plus cache and factory wipe ) and loaded on the latest beta build this morning, left it clean with zero apps except google (and xda!) and within an hour of getting to work the problem came back.
I am fully boot loader and network unlocked.
Please, if anyone has any idea I would be really grateful. I am tearing my hair out!

Why not try a more stable ROM first and see if you get reboots.You do realize some phones just cannot handle unstable roms like the cm9 builds even though they are great for some ppl it just doesn't workout also maybe you are using an oc kernel that your phone cannot handle.I would check both things first.
Try some a bit more stable.
cm7 ba2ft
wetdream
darkside
gingermod
If you get the same with those then maybe fastboot wipe and stuff like that so you can clear everything out
EDIT: flash a radio too

Hey,
Thanks, I'm going to try Gingerblur tonight... I had ruled that out as I have used darkside/gingerblur before and apart from the occasional reboot they were OK. The reboot was OK really, I know its a known issue with this model even with unrooted handsets, as long as its occasional and clean boots back to system again it doesn't really matter as I don't pin lock my sim (currently my problems are either a reboot every three minutes as soon as I switch the screen off... or, more commonly, the dead screen, needing that battery pull) .
I *suspect* that it may be the radio, but really need some solid advice on this because a couple of years ago I completely bricked my G1 by flashing the wrong radio and vowed never to touch radios again if I didn't have to....I am naturally very hesitant about radio flashing from that episode. Can anyone give me some decent advice on which radios i should be looking at for an unlocked ( but formerly Orange UK) Atrix? One very nervous owner here!
The other weird thing is that is perfectly fine when on a power source.

Hang on, I'm not making sense here, maybe it is these advanced ROMs, I was just surprised that neutrino (a cm7 based rom) also produced these reboot problems. Anyway, any advice on radios would be appreciated

As long as you flash atrix radios only you should be okay. I flashed just about every applicable radio on my brother's captivate and never bricked it.
I agree with you and previous posters, it sounds like a radio issue for sure.

I have the same problem with my Atrix running cm7 ba2ft. Sometimes it does not respond when you try to unlock, and I need to take out the battery to turn it on again. I bought the phone couple of weeks ago.
another thing to look at would be the battery my friend had similar problems with his nexus and tryed Roms and radios I bought him a new battery as a joke and the joke ended up on me cause he hasn't had the problem since let me know if this helped you aswell

Same problem here. Very aggravating.
I am having the same problem. And I am 100% stock with no mods. I just installed OTA 2.3.6 so I am waiting to see if that helped.
Yeah, I'm really worried this is a hardware problem - I've been quiet these past couple of days testing the brand new GB radio and when that still had errors i then also tried the European one - the problem still persists. I have now downloaded every Atrix radio under the sun now so may try a few more...
This is quite frustrating as a) I really want to enjoy ICS as it really is a step up from previous versions of Android and b) I no longer have the option of selling this in its current state.
I'm also going to try a new battery as WikidClown suggested above, can't harm....I can pick up one on Amazon for less than a tenner.
One thing is for sure, I don't think I will be buying Moto hardware again!

i baught my atrix used. everything was stock. still had multiple reboots and battery pulls daily. on cm9 they seem to happen less. and the battery pull only happened once. but i know the issue must still be there. might try my wifes battery. her atrix has rebooted maybe 5 times ever. 3 since this last official update (she is still lock stock and 2 smoking barrels)
OK, trying a new battery is my last hope...I did a fastboot wipe this morning and for an hour and a half it was all going so well...but then the reboot happened.
I'm getting a bit fed up with this pos hardware...I can't even sell this thing in this state.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Anyone have any other experiences? I have confirmed that it isn't the battery...I bought a new batter and within 45 minutes it has rebooted once and done the screen off thing where it needs a battery pull. Complete crap.
One thing to note is that it does seem to get very warm on the back, although the internals ( behind the battery) don't seem so bad. Is there any way to keep the temp down aside from underclocking? All my roms have always been under clocked so I know that doesn't make any difference.
The other thing I might try is to use something like Noled so the phone isn't completely idle. Might drain the battery a bit unnecessarily though....why couldn't Moto have put in an amoled screen?
Anyway, will report back once I've tried it.

I used to get tons of random reboots and then I was told to get the app called "Wake My Android Pro". Settings -> Test Activity -> Auto Startup, and Stop Activity checked. Weird settings, I know, technically with stop activity checked it doesn't do anything, but ever since then I don't experience random reboots. This was a few months ago when I was on just CM7. I've always installed this app when I get a new rom and I've tried Neutrino, Darkside, Alien, Aura, CM7, Wet Dream, and currently on joker's CM9 beta 1 build and RARELY experience random reboots. It went from once an hour to once a month now. I'm also on the .36p radio if that helps.

Cheers, have downloaded and will report back. The most annoying thing about troubleshooting a problem like this is that there is no immediate 'it worked or 'it didn't work' ....it's just a waiting game! Thanks a lot though, really hope it does work (and thanks for replying, was starting to feel like I was answering threads to myself!). I have .36 radio installed already (I think, will check...it's the Brazilian one isn't it?) .
Just to check then...you have all the check boxes in wake my android ticked?

I,average about two to three BSODs every other day. When they occur they seem to cluster, so I get a few, stops happening, and everything runs smooth for the next few days. Other than that, this rom has been smooth as silk and stable as can be.

Taking the plunge with the sgt7 cm10 2012-10-08 ROM
I just finished installing the 2012-10-08 ROM, and wanted to report my experience so far.
My Nook Tablet was already rooted and running CM7. I have been waiting to make the move to JB once the stability of the various ROMs seemed to be improving, and the recent work seemed promising. Thus, I decided to dive on in.
Here are the steps I took:
1. Downloaded 08/10 ROM, JB gApps, and CWM as referenced in the OP. Moved them over to my SD card.
2. From Rom Manager on the NT, I booted into recovery and flashed the new CWM. Rebooted the tablet.
3. Booted back into recovery again, did a factory reset (format data/ and cache/), then formatted Dalvik cache as well.
4. Flashed the 08/10 ROM.
5. Flashed JB gapps.
6. Rebooted the tablet.
After a short while, the OS booted up. I connected to my local WiFi, and then I configured the tablet with my Google account info, installed necessary apps, etc.
Everything seemed to work very well until the screen automatically turned off after the tablet stood idle for a while. Pressing the N button or power button did not turn the screen back on. I assume that this is the dreaded "Sleep of Death" (SOD) I have heard so much about.
I held down the power button for 10 seconds or so, released it, then held the power button down until the tablet rebooted. I thought that maybe turning WiFi off before it slept might help, so I experimented a bit, and it did seem to work.
I'm home now, and the battery life of the ROM seems very nice so far. I am playing around again with WiFi left on before it sleeps, to see if I can reproduce the same problem, but so far it is waking back up and working just fine.
All in all, it is a very impressive ROM, and I am glad (so far) that I decided to take the plunge!
Bug with 4/10 version
hi,
i also want to report few bugs with version 4/10: before i went to bed, and charged my NT 16G. from the screen, it confirmed that the charging started. but next morning when i checked again, the battery is still at the same level.
this means that it doesnt really charge, even it said the charging was under-way.
i can confirm that the charge cable was properly connected to my NT, so this is a software bug i think.
Besides, it seems i have the SOD problems sometimes. i tried to reboot, but the power button didnt seem to work. finally, i removed the microSD card, and it seemed to help to reboot my NT. another problem???
thanks.
I think I have to revise my endorsement. The 4/10 rom without enhancements is a buttery smooth, very reliable, daily driver. BSODs are rare, wifi dropping rarely happens. The enhancement pack and the 8/10 rom do fix the wifi dropping and imprive battery performance. Unfortunately they also seem to break a fairn number of apps, including com2us, scrabble, and words with friends I also experienced video freezing. on youtube and netflix. Also memory use seemed higher and I had to frequently (4 or 5 x per day) run fix.permissions to prevent force.closings.on apps . That ended up being a deal breaker, I ended up reverting back to the 4/10, the enhancements ended up causing more headaches then they fixed.
Still, the 4/10 is easily the most stable, functional rom currently running on the tablet. Huge thanks to everyone.who worked on this.
Just a quick update on the 2012-10-08 ROM. Last night, I picked up my NT after having it sit for a couple hours, and pressed the "N" button to wake it back up. The screen turned on, and I briefly saw a notification message scroll up top that said something along the lines of, "SD card unexpectedly removed", and then the tablet rebooted.
I saw that someone else had a similar issue on the DEV thread, and just wanted to confirm that I, too, seem to be having the same problem.

I've found that manually disabling Wifi before sleeping prevents the sdcard issue. The I have no idea why they seem related but it works here on 04/10 that way.

Thanks for the confirmation of my suspicion. It seeps that disabling WiFi before sleeping also prevents the SOD issues, so I will just try to remember to do that when I use it.
First of all, my phone is running jellybomb version 2, freeza beastmode kernel 2.0 and cpu running at 2.7. I've never had problems before until one day I downloaded a file that had a virus, so I decided to do a restore using twrp. The restore failed and my phone and it got screwed, I've tried several methods to get it running again and I finally found the solution. I flashed the brickbug file and it was fixed. Now I noticed that sometimes when I restart the phone, it won't restart, it just powers off. There are also times when my phone just blacks out and freezes and I have to do a battery pull. There are also incidents where after boot up from a restart or battery pull, my touch screen won't respond. It's really weird. I dirty flashed to jellybomb version 2 from version 1, I doubt that's the issue since these problems started happening after I flashed brickbug to fix my phone. Anyone know what could be wrong or a fix? It's not a huge issue since my phone works fine most of the time, but it gets a bit annoying when the problem does happen. Last resort would be wipe absolutely everything and start over..

Honestly my phone does the same with occasional random reboots and lock ups requiring battery pulls (Even the power button-menu-power up didn't restart to twrp) and even then restarting doesn't usually go without a hitch. Even when I was running stock root my phone would get stuck at the yellow sprint screen from time to time and I'd have to go TWRP and wipe Dalvik and Cache, then Dalvik again to get it to reboot.. The only reason I didn't unroot was was because even when my phone was new and out of the box, stock it wouldn't reboot cleanly all the time.
It got a little better after the firmware updates but it still hasn't gone away entirely.
I do expect it to get cleared up eventually but for now just take it as a fact of life with this phone.

The restore failed and my phone and it got screwed, I've tried several methods to get it running again and I finally found the solution. I flashed the brickbug file and it was fixed. Now I noticed that sometimes when I restart the phone, it won't restart, it just powers off. There are also times when my phone just blacks out and freezes and I have to do a battery pull. There are also incidents where after boot up from a restart or battery pull, my touch screen won't respond. It's really weird. I dirty flashed to jellybomb version 2 from version 1, I doubt that's the issue since these problems started happening after I flashed brickbug to fix my phone. Anyone know what could be wrong or a fix? It's not a huge issue since my phone works fine most of the time, but it gets a bit annoying when the problem does happen. Last resort would be wipe absolutely everything and start over..

Sounds like its the beastmode kernel issues. Flash version 1.8 and see if that fixes your issues.
I would run the MJ4 tar via Odin to start totally fresh.
I am having a similar issue. my phone will just reboot on its own and freeze up a lot. i dont think its the kernel because it has been happening ever since i first installed the jellybomb rom and had a lite kernel installed. now switched to beast 2.3 and still having the same issues. im gonna flash 1.8 and see if it gets any better. but people are posting positive results on the 2.3 . dont know what to do. its frustrating

Before going through all that mess, toss on a stock kernel and see if your issues go away. You'll narrow down the issues right quick.

My phone has been doing this from the time i took it out of the box on October 4. It was ever worse then, so much so that I returned the phone exchanged it for a new one. The problems continued and I questioned my decision to upgrade to the Note 3 but then the firmware upgrades improved things a little.
I can tolerate the issues now and I do expect them to go away on future updates

I flashed 2.3 kernel and it seemed to fix most problems.. I just get Internet shutdowns here and there.. So far that's the only problem.

2.3 is the shiz, bro. I know some have issues with it, but for me it far exceeds even 1.8. Even with no overclocking, 1.8 would do odd stuff, like go to off when I'd selected restart (plugged in or not), &c. With 2.3, I've yet to run into any issues, the phone behaves as I've directed it. I overclock it using profiles in SetCPU, and the cores stay cool. With 1.8, no such luck.
As to Internet shutdowns, I have found that the browser plays a role in things. Having never used the stock browser, I switch mainly between boat browser and chrome, and both will occasionally freeze. Long back press to kill is my fallback.

what your describing
Your phones should run flawlessly all the time. I would take issue that when the phone starts acting buggy, it's just normal for this phone.....I disagree with that, there is a issue somewhere if you have these issues occasionally.
Just my 2 cents
Well it took my slack ass a couple weeks to flash the stock kernel due to my issues. and after a few days my phone hasnt randomly rebooted. So i take it my phone is not liking the BEAST right now? This is just some poopoo.
