It started turning itself off when i first got it.. so I thought i would upgrade to ICS and root the device; all went well with that. But i am still experiencing random shutdowns, and then i will boot it up and try to continue what i was doing and it turns off again.. sometimes it goes hours without happening.. happens a lot while browser or youtube app is running..any ideas guys?

It just ShutsDown, and then I have to hold the power button to turn it back on.
It acts as if the battery is dead, but it does this no matter what the battery charge % is at.
Any ideas?

are you running a stock rom? or a custom one? rooted or not? and which version, ICS or HC?
do you use a simcard on the tablet?
if rooted, what are the root apps you are using?
details please
Im running ICS provided by Huawei website, and rooted via info provided on xda forums. Im running superuser and autoproxy software. I dont think this has anything to do with it though as it was also shutting down randomly before firmware update and root. I thought maybe updating firware would fix the issue, but it didnt. It seems like its being shut down like there is no battery, so something is sending the power control settings bad information..just a guess though.

hey,
i too have this problem, still do not know why it happen.
mine is running stock software HC 3.2
that was random restart. it happen to me with HC and ICS. but when on HC i must press n hold the power button twice to turn on again. but on ICS it restarts itself.
i think that was radio GSM problems. if i run with wifi it works fine. no random restarting.
This problems happened for me too. But in the last month there was no more switching off .

today it startrd happening to me too...how to solve this problem? it works fine if I boot it without sim card or with charger plugged in
I found that it occurs when tab is connecting to 2G network. I tried to google that problem and I found many threads on many forums mostly HTC sensation related (same CPU - msm8260 as in our mediapad). If I switch network modeto WCDMA only, tab no more shuts down, but every restart switches network mode back to WCDMA preferred, how to force it to use WCDMA only all the time? or how I can solve self shutting down? I lost warranty card so I don't have warranty anymore.
Having the same problem and there isn't a service center here.
you need to replace battery....I replaced mine and it doesn't shutdown anymore.
My tab keeps randomly restarting itself, how do I solve this problem
Mine too!

I'm on global rom now, didn't seem to fix the problem. Tho using the phone but staying away from crash causing market while searching internets for a solution. And time seems to have fixed the problem, phone only seems to crash and reboot now if I stress it
Problem not fixed, but is quite rare now. Tho still don't know what it was or is

reboots while on GPS
It doesnt allow me to start the GPS hardware. If I disable the GPS hardware and start gmaps it works fine but when the GPS is enabled and the moment I enter the GMaps the small icon blinks for a bit and the phone reboots.
any clues ?
i think we all are facing similar problem
i had posted the following on this thread -
t=830520
"i am facing the same issue...a workaround is to remove the battery, sim and sd card for 5 minutes and then put them all back and start
although the phone starts sometimes when i connect to my computer or try to restore the backup it gets into the loop again"

Have the same problem. When I open Navigation Software, it works fine. When I turn on the GPS Satellite it reboots itself.
No ideas?
I no longer have the jit hack, but I remember reading in the thread that once your memory goes under a certain percentage it reboots. So they suggested using a task killer.
just fyi^^

Tho I notice when I kill apps, it kills my phone signal then reconnects. Any idea on what I need to exclude to stop that?

Anyone found a good fix for this I cant even open a game or GPS for longer than a min, just froze and reboot on a phone call and had to leave the battery out for a bit, this has been going on for ages now and getting worse and hotter. Only just got it back from SE Repair yesterday with a software reflash despite me stating in the letter that does not fix the issue, argues half the day with SE girl who said they wont replace any parts on 1st or second return even if they know there is a problem with it, i ended up loosing it a little. Very poor from a big company, send an email yesterday to SE main office and complaints, no reply either. The shop wont replace as its been 5 months says its SE's problem, but my phone is essentially becoming a paper weight
What annoys me most is a bought a webcam over a year ago from ebay and now its buggerd 1 email to microsoft tech support and they are sending a replacement out no need to send back the current one. Came as an open box purchase and everything, but when you pay for expensive hardware thats faulty the company has no interest in a propper repair/replace
It was a problem of power management chip and power path problem probably too little vias or whatnot. You need to get it fixed at the stealer for the main board replacement. Reflashing your device won't work at all. And you have to refrain from using cpu intensive app like robo defense and charging the device at the same time.
My aunt is using this phone. She told me that her phone will have a sudden shutdown about 2-3 times a day and will get very hot when she woke up in the morning.
Since she does not know anything advanced, she is using the stock rom came with the Ace since day one and i have not done any modifications to it.
Any idea why?

Wifi settings...
In detailed WIFI settings set sleep mode as: never. For me is work.
is your Aunt that techie of a person? if not she's probably leaving a lot of things running in background, maybe Wifi left on, GPS on, 3G connection active etc. that could lead to CPU being busy causing the heat-ups and auto-shutdown (this is actually a safety feature to avoid damaging your processor)
Maybe she closes apps with home button

I find it heats up when charging if i'm using it. But not too bad. As phones get more like laptops i assume we will get the same issues.

I have bought xps about 20 days ago. Yesterday and today , while I was surfing the net via wifi (both times) , my phone suddenly switched off and made a restart. Did anyone experience a problem like this ?? It never happened before.
Not had that problem - infact I was just thinking today that I haven't restarted my phone for a week.. and it still feels super smooth... which I've never experienced before on Android!
Never had a sudden restart, lag or unresponsive device. Seems that you are the only one here with such a luck...
Is this a reason for returning my phone to Sony? Is sony obliged to replace my device with another one?

Unfortunately sudden restarts are very common in the android world. I think 80% of the android smartphones had at least once this problem. You should wait to see if it happen again and if so try a hard reset or a software repair using sony pc companion. If it will become a common problem even with other users sony with a future update it will fix the problem. What software version do you have .62 .67 or .73 ?
Hi,
If you have this reboot issue
Nothing can resolve this!
But,just in case
Do not use your phone with charger pluged in for long time!
This kill your battery very quick!
And cause autoreboot
And be careful with internet!
If you flash some FW or rom or kernel
Made a full charge before flash

I've had this happen to me on my Xperia S twice already while using it.
It also randomly restarts while in standby once in awhile.
Not sure what's causing this. Any suggestions?

If it's not happening very offen like twice a day, the only thing you can do is wait for the 4.0 update, because If you look in all the other android smartphone forums you will see that every android model have this issue from time to time. I think is something like the Windows OS bluescreen...very very difficult for normal users to detect where is the problem. I think with the 4.0 update the problem it will be solved. But if the Xperia S become unstable and randomly rebooting every day try a software repair with pc companion and if this is not solving the problem just go to a Sony support center and give them the smartphone for replacement.
I have the reboot twice
Refresh ROM good!
Hi, my phone also has random restarts. It becomes sluggish and unresponsive, then just restarts.
I think mine has done it once or twice when just in standby mode as well.
I actually got my first Xperia S replaced as it had this problem, but the replacement is also suffering from it.
Seen a few other people saying they have the same over on the Sony forums, so I think its a software problem somewhere.

I have .73. I didn't flash my device nor I use it when charges(and I don't let it charging for hours).
I think that there was not enough RAM at that time but I am not sure. I'll have to check it out.
I just experienced the same problem not too long ago. I was web browsing and my phone crashed and rebooted on it's own. I'm on the phone with Sony right now because I have the youtube issue as well. This sounds like a software issue.
Had mine since March 6. So far only one random reboot, none since update to 6.0.A.5.6

I called Sony Mobile Canada to report this issue. I told her others are having this issue as well. She's going to escalate it. I would like to encourage everyone who's having this problem to call Sony tech support in your Country and let them be aware of this issue. The more people call about this issue, just maybe they will work on a software fix sooner rather than later. Strength in numbers!
No restart on mine
I heavy use internet 3G/wifi on it
But,
I never flash anything on mine with flashtool or seus or pcc
Pure stock FW.67
12w14
AAD-AV
Only 2 "big" issue
Phone freeze one time
when plug charger in
VolumeUp+power solve the bug,
And the yellow tint on the screen.
Normally,when the phone keep autoreboot,or autopowerOff
It is caused by a dead battery
You can identify it
by keep hold power when the phone restart by itself
and at reboot
If the led blink 3 time red when holding power
That's indicated battery die
Or made a battery test in service *#*#7378423#*#*
But your phone is new !
So try a full charge with reset battery to get best power (volumeUp + power 5second one vibrate)
If your phone is rooted
you can delete manualy "power_supply"
in sys/class and reboot
with charger pluged in
After that,
try a full restore with seus with wipe data ect..
Can't help more :-(

Hello,
I think I have hard bricked my galaxy s2 GT-I9100 (France)
It was working well with the official Kies ICS update.
I installed Sygic Navigation Trial app from Play Store.
Then I started Sygic. It asked me to select maps to download.
I selected some and started download.
When download reached 1800M over 2400M my phone suddenly stopped working. The screen was freezed.
There was no response either from the home key neither the power button.
I removed the battery.
Now the phone doesn't start anymore. There is nothing on the screen. No samsung logo, no battery indicator. No sound. No vibration.
Could someone please help?
I suggest you send it to samsung service center

Yes I have tried all key combinations.
The phone had just been charged all night before.

So many SIIs dying due to weird reasons recently, dafuq? Mine died twice already! First time was fixed with a free new battery from sammy but now its dead again...... same reason i think. I let the battery run from 100% to 0% and now its dead Battery dont wanna charge no boot no screens no vibrations... Something is wrong in there...
I still cannot power on my sgs2.
What I have noticed is that when I let the battery in the phone, 10 min after I can feel some heat like if the CPU is working at 800mhz.
I think that the phone is endlessly trying to boot, but resets even before reaching the first samsung logo.
My fear is that the mmc chip is corrupted. I heard there was bugs in the emmc firmware with the wear leveling.
...
It's happened alot over past two weeks and it's now done it 3 times in past 2 1/2 days. Screen stays black press any button does nothing and hold down power still does nothing. Only way is to hold volume up and power for 3 vibrations then power back on its really annoying and must be due to some problem....?

Go to settings and disable auto brightness. I'm not sure why it works, but after researching for a while on this same issue, this is the setting that worked for me. Try it and update us if it works.

Did you guys update to 257 without wiping? I didn't wipe, but there might be some bugs sticking around from 532. Do a factory reset (full wipe if you have recovery) and see if that solves it.
any updates on this issue .the device screen simply doesnt wake-up from sleep ,unless you hard reboot .
i'm on 290 stock ,and testing the auto brightness disable method.
update : issue persists with auto-brightness disabled .
Hmm, it has to be a software bug. I can't see how this could be a hardware issue. Have you tried everything? Wiping? Re-flashing? Flashing a different ROM?
I did still get it on stock rooted rom. Twice in a day

Happened to me view times when i tried to play movies, weird thing its not all movies, just some of them. Then i tried to remember what did i just installed because it never happens before. For me it was Nooxzoid, i uninstall it, and it back to normal.
So maybe try to remember does it happened before or just recently, maybe some app went roque with your phone.

I have it just once though two days ago. Force reboot it by the button i almost gone mad when it's still not working, but somehow after a minute, it's normal again. I don't know why. But in case of yours, try to upgrade to the latest ROM first. That might fix it for you. No point for rooting if you can't fix the problem so let it go.
