Hi all, i want to know methods how different people saved this issue on amaze, i have but i cant fix it i tried different methods, but all that help only for some time. I opened this thread for other people(i think many people experience this problem) for finding the fix.Thanks for reading and answering.
There is no way to answer such a general question like this with such limited detail. There are so many things that can cause random reboots: bad battery, problem with an app, rom, kernel, etc. How r we suppose to be able to know what is causing your reboots, you didn't even say what your phone's current setup is: unlocked/locked, custom rom/stock, cust kernel/stock, etc.
A lot of amaze owners have had problems with battery going bad and random reboots being one of the issues. So that may be one thing to try. Good luck

I didnt ask you to help me only my issue. If you read carefully i sayed how you fixed your problem. i need to know how people fixed their own problem of reboots.

Go back to stock.
Learn/read more about what you're doing when modding your device.
Maybe try again
Problem solved
Nobody with any knowledge is having random reboots. Its usually the people who flashed a ROM incorrectly, is using an unstable ROM build, over/under clocked their CPU too much or under volted their CPU too much. I never once had a random reboot that i didnt provoke (which means it wasn't random) unless I was using an unstable ROM.

Now i went back to stock, but i am experiencing the same problem but less 2-3 times a day.i have enough knowledge about flashing modding, i had 6 android phones before this one, but this problem i cant fix in no way. i am using now stock ics, the CPU isnt over or underclocked and i didnt flashed any mods. pure official rom with some 5-6 apps, i am trying to understand maybe it is from apps.
Battery caused my randoms. Anker took care of it. Or you can opt for OEM but most likely happen again.

I'll try, thanks for answer yall. But after returning to stock i am only having reboots at nearly 20%, and it is like phone trying to confidure, to calibrate its battery, it is rebooting 2 times, it shows 5% and there are no more reboots. I tried to calibrate no help. Ill try to bye anker battery, not to change and i cant buy in armenia, there is no htc shop or centre, but what if i put sensation battery? Because, the choice for sensation is bigger.

OK, I THINK I MIGHT HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION!!!!!!!
I bought an Anker battery. After a while, it will start doing the random reboot things. The cool thing is, the Anker batteries come with an external charger. If I take the battery out of the phone and use the charger, it seems to "reset" the battery so it works fine for a while.
I'm startting to think there is an issue with the charging system on the phone - who knows.
thank!!!

One Quick Solution
Okay so this is just one quick solution for those specific people out there that have had random reboots on EVERY ROM they try. A good friend of mine had constant reboots even on modified stock ROMs like Revolution HD which I have never had rebooting issues. We noticed the battery was easily removed when taking off the backing so we inserted a paper index card on the bottom to decrease the gap and make the fit slightly tighter. We just cut an index card to about the size of an inch in length and the same width as the battery compartment and then folded it in an L shape inserted it in the bottom of the battery slot and his phone has seen nearly 0 reboots since doing this. Seems like a dumb issue but it is worth a try especially if your Amaze has taken some physical abuse.
Still having problems. No idea what to try anymore. Might have to bite the bullet and get another phone. Never again HTC.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Wife had the same problems...
a little background of her Amaze issues:
- tmobile stock ICS ROM, not rooted, about 16 months old.
- after about a year random reboots begin and get more frequent, sometimes 6-7 times daily
- replaced with new Anker battery. problems go away for about 2 weeks
- after about a month, phone no longer charges (no orange light) using the original ac adapter and usb cable
- gave in and called HTC (from htc.com:United States/English/+1-866-449-8358/08:00 - 01:00 ET (7 days a week))
- got a RMA number and paid for shipping (~ $6 with Insurance at USPS) to Texas
- HTC returned her Amaze (same IMEI number), fixed under warranty. Not exactly sure what they replaced/fixed as they did not provide details.
If you're in a last resort type of situation, give them a call...you never know! Since being fixed, it's been rooted and NRG ICS Blue ROM and 4EXT recovery flashed, just like mine. All is great...for now... If Amaze dies again, not sure what phone to get next.

Not gunna go into much detail here. I'm sure most people have heard o the motherboard bug which causes the sony ericsson to over heat and reboot as soon as it is turned on and things like that. This problem only started for me when I updated to 2.1. Would downgrading to 1.6therefore stop the reboots because I never got even 1 before. Would changin the battery to a diferent one stop overheating o the battery. Maybe there is a battery specialized or this. Maybe a mugen battery would work? Help greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
I dont think so, i had the same problem and tried everything, last thing was getting the new one, and now i can do anything, and no reboot, i think u should go to SonyEricson and tell them about your problem, they will give you back your phone for about 3 times, then when your problem still persist they will give you a new device or they will change motherboard,
Good Luck (and sorry for bad english ^_^)
Out of Warranty Cant be bothered to explain why. Getting it repaired would cost a lot. CoulD I repair it myself?
your best bet it to use advanced task killer app

I do use that app but 90 percent of the time I cant get my phone on long enough to even think about using it
have you tried reflashing the rom, via repair option on SEUS, or even Flashing a custom rom?

yep didnt work
has anyone tried the downgrading or battery change method that can enlighten me as to wheether it will work or not. Or at least significantly reduce the reboots so I can actually use the phone

Yes i think some thing inside the rom could help. One of my friend have X10 with mainboard bug like u. But as i sure in xrecovery it never reboot even you flash a rom sooooo....it should be something inside the room or kernel
sorry i dont really understand what you want me to do :S ????
just downgraded to 1.6. Still rebooting but not as much. Not every minute anymore. It like every few minutes. Im at a loss here there must be something I can do. Warranty and paying to change the motherboard is not an option
I had the same problem, tried everything but my phone only worked when I was using it in cold places, or in front of a fan. The problem started to become worse gradually, it started playing games, then in a few minutes of light use... and then every minute. Had to flash to stock rom in front of a fan to use the warranty.
You cannot do much, unless you use the warranty you'll stand with a dead phone for now.
Isnt there a way I could like open up my phone and do something to it to make it work? There must be something out there that will work.
what if i put the phone and battery in the freezer for a day or a few. maybe it could at least stop the overheating for at leastt a few days? i wouldnt mind doing this every few days

It will work for a few minutes, once your start to use the phone, the battery will start to heat, and then it will reboot once it reach its threeshold.
I highly suggest you to try to repair it in any sony center, or at least check the price to fix it. As far as I know, you can't do anything to at least remedy it. You won't be able to use your phone well. I experienced it and tried everything it came to my mind to at least use the phone well for a few days before I gave up and sent it to the repair center.
Out of warranty and would be like 100 quid to get motherboard replaced. (sorry about caps lock) there must be something that no one has thought of
Of there is of course a problem with asking for solutions that no one has thought of....
Sorry for the cheap shot. I do have sympathy as I have the same issue, although to a much lesser extent. Got a new battery and it made no difference. Went into a phone shop today and had a chat. Although I was not 100% convinced about the guy in there he showed me another X10 that smelled the same as mine and he said it did reboot. Anyway for £15 he says he can reflash the stock ROM using a special box. He seemed convinced it was software related so I may give it a go. It is very strange that I can put the phone into xRecovery when the phone is rebooting and it is stable.
However I think your best bet is to sell your phone and get another. Not sure how much a spares/repairs X10 goes for but I can recommend the ZTE Blade as a good, cheap Android phone with a strong support over a MoDaCo. If you do this you should not be to much out of pocket.
dont really want a different phone. Lilke I said there must be something that someone knows :S
if theres no solution anyone knows, does anyone know where I can buy an xperia 10 PCB so I can dissassemble my phone and change the PCBs myself
Get insurance and lose the phone.
Just trying to build some statistics as to how common this turning off problem is.
--------------------
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ANSWERING:
1) Obviously this is regarding the phone turning off on its own when its not due an empty battery.
2) Only answer with "no" if you've been using the phone for at least a week. If you've been using it for less and it hasnt turned off, answer with "No - but had it for less than a week".
--------------------
I just want to know before I send my phone to Amazon for replacement.
I've had it 8 days, so I clicked the 2nd "no". If I saw any hardware fault in a new device I'd immediately get onto the supplier for a replacement. Unless there's software at fault here (unlikely, but obviously possible) then I can't see the problem simply going away.
Hope you get it sorted mate.

Everyone runs different apps and settings on their phones. Unless there's a specific hardware problem there's going be tons of variables to consider for those having reboot issues. I've had mine for six weeks and its never done anything wonky.

Does reboot count as a yes?
I clicked yes but I am not 100% sure if this happened to me or not. Allow me to explain...
I was carrying it in my hand walking and I happened to look at the screen and it was showing the Samsung GT-i9100 splash screen seemingly for no apparent reason. When it went away it just went right back to where it was (no media card reading or anything).
It was strange to say the least but I have not seen it happen again since then and that was about a week ago and I have had the device for approx. 3 weeks now.
Does this sound like the same issue?

Oh sorry i forgot to mention this. No, reboots don't count as they're probably a software problem which can be fixed maybe with a new ROM or update or wtvr (i'm probably going to install another ROM eventually). And i'm not sure how a replacement will help with that, since I already have the KE7 firmware installed.
Just complete turn offs, cuz it might be a hardware problem, which can be solved by a replacement.
Thanks for the responses guys. Keep it up
Hmm, well i'm not really sure of anything, but that looks like a reboot to me. It might be that it turned off and you accidentally held the power button and turned it on, but since there was no card reading or anything, i think it's the "fast reboot" problem i've seen some people with on the forums. I hope it doesn't happen again
So my i777 running ICSrewed 2.0.1 with siyah kernel and previously hellraised CheckROM thinks its changing when it isn't. To be more correct it starts and stops charging every couple seconds when no usb is connected. So it will vibrate in my pocket every few second when it thinks i disconnected the usb cable. When turned off the phone flashes the battery charging screen followed by the battery screen with the yellow triangle and thermometer. This happens no matter what. I've reflashed my rom, tried entropy's DD instead of siyah kernel with no results. Also it seems to have several different ideas about the battery level, if i restart the phone the battery level usually changes by around 20%.
I'm not running any setCPU or UV apart from whats build into the kernel. Phone is only about 2 months old and is always kept in an industrial ballistic case.
Any ideas? Am i looking at a hardware issue or something that could be software related?
Thanks in advance
Any help is greatly appreciated
Sounds like 1 of 3 things IMO .. either the OS is freaking out or your battery is defective or your miniUSB connection is dirty/messed up/bent.
I had the issue after about a month where my GSII would go into car dock mode out of the blue for no reason. Voice search would fire up randomly. A factory reset fixed mine but there are tons of people that have reported the miniUSB needing cleaning (and/or a touch of grease) and resolved the issue.

It's your USB port. It's done. Use warranty, replace it. There is no fix. It happened to me as well. Be sure to revert your phone back to stock, then wipe the internal SD card as well. Look through the threads in General for the revert to stock by Entropy.

Yes, this. There are several threads in Q&A or General (including one by me) regarding USB port failures. The behaviors you describe are pretty much across-the-board for those of us who had this happen. As recommended above - warranty replacement is the way to go - they may make you go through a bunch of steps prior to approving your RMA - a common one seems to be to try another battery. As far as I know, this has not worked for anyone who tried it.
Yes - your described symptoms are consistent with what appears to be the most likely hardware failure scenario I777 owners are going to encounter if they encounter any hardware failures.
I have same problem.but just started since running ics screwed same version...never happened on any others

Thanks everyone, that's what i was thinking, it was just strange because apart from the phone freaking out in my pocket it hasn't had any effect, the usb works for everything else.
I don't think it's ISCrewed in particular, it started when i was on CheckROM, i flashed ISCrewed just in case it was something about the hellraised rom.
Thanks again, back to my cappy i guess
I have the identical issue. Many times a day the phone "chirps" and thinks it has been plugged in/unplugged in, though it hasn't. It also enters and exits driving mode on a similarly random basis. Unfortunately I bought this phone used (though the problem only started this week, and I've owned the phone for 2 months), so I'm fearing that I won't be eligible for RMA. Has anyone had success using the Samsung manufacturer's warranty when they aren't the original purchaser?

Unnamed 2.2.1
hmm weird I was having problem on ics screwed changed and now no problem recently..hoping it isn't the port!
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
I've been running Unnamed 2.2.1 since late December, and the problem only started a few days ago, which makes me think it's probably not software related, at least in my case. I've read many accounts of GS2 owners whose USB ports start flaking out and causing identical problems to what I'm experiencing, so my hunch is that's what it is. Before I look into a warranty return, I'm going to clean out the port with rubbing alcohol and a paintbrush.
I had this happen as well. It seemed to happen soon after I would flash siyah kernel. happened 3-4 times. For the past month or so have been running only entrophys dd kernel and have not had the issue come back yet.
I was running siyah too been running entropys fine since i switched..idk if kernel glitch or just coincidence

Been there, done that
I had the exact same problems described above a few months ago. Thankfully, a "knowledgeable" AT&T rep just gave me an 800 number to call...did their obligatory troubleshooting and sent me a replacement (took a few days). Of course, I ordered a USB jig to erase the "root" counters just in case.
I noticed the problem on UnNamed (although it ended up not being the ROM of course) and switched to CM7....seems like I either never had the problem on CM7 or it took a really long time to come back.
Regardless, while i was waiting on the replacement, I removed the battery and, as was said above, swished around a small paintbrush dipped in rubbing alcohol in the USB port....didn't have the problem again. Went ahead and switched out phones anyway...but appeared to be "fixed". Kinda sad though...I rarely even use the USB (switch out between 3 batteries)...never had that kind of problem with my previous "fruit" phone. ;-)
I swabbed out the USB port with rubbing alcohol two days ago, and the problem hasn't happened since then. That same day, and since then, I've stopped keeping the phone in the bathroom while I take a shower, on the thinking that the steam could be aggravating the problem. Don't know whether the alcohol or the no-bathroom rule has helped things, but the problem seems to be gone for now.

Yep , mine has just started doing this the other day... Bent the usb port pins a bit and while it is stuck in charging mode (it thinks) it is not jumping to the dock or anything... so as long as i dont turn it off im ok for now.
Question is , I am running an ICS build AKOP 4.0.3 , do you think it could be safe doing triangle away (since the usb port is pretty much gone to try a jig might not be worth it) and mobile odin to flash back to stock so that I can bring it into my local att store and see what I can do there?

You could try telling Samsung that it was a gift. They should be able to determine the original purchase date from the IMEI. I've never dealt with Samsung directly, only At&t. I did a warranty replacement on my original SII last month for the same issue and am now in the process of getting a 2nd replacement for the same issue. Just an FYI, revert to stock before you call them, they'll ask what version you're running, I was running 2.3.4 stock last night. They decided to push the 2.3.6 update to my phone and said I'd have to wait 24 hours before continuing onto getting another replacement. You'll also want to tell them you've already done a factory reset, it'll save you time. I'd recommend grabbing a beer or two for the call, makes working your way through their troubleshooting a bit easier.
Hi guys.
My phone shuts down at random moments. I can boot it up again by holding the power button for about 10 seconds. Sometimes, not always, the phone feels hot and batterylife dropped. I have been struggling with this problem ever since i got this phone. I hoped to solve it with installing a new kernel and rom. I am now on Slimbean 3.1.0. The phone was initially on XLQ6 4.0.4. This didn't change anything, unfortunately.
I have also tried:
- removing external SD
- placing a new battery (which has no room to move, in case anyone suggests the battery might be moving)
- wiping caches
The strange thing is that my friend has bought his i9100 together with mine in the same order. He is also on XLQ6 and is experiencing the same issues. Less often than me, however.
My smalband is still on XLQ6. Is it possible that this causes my problems? Or is it more likely that my friend and me simply bought phones from a bad batch or something (hardware related)? I really don't want to send back my phone. That is my absolute last resort.
EDIT: Problem solved! Installing the application "Load Monitor" and enabling the "wake lock" function has done the trick. No more shutdowns or reboots!
Anyone?
2 devices with the same issue?
I'd be at the store where I bought it right now.
I will do that when I am absolutely sure that it is hardware related. However, if anyone has a potential solution I would really like to solve this issue myself.

Same with me. change from 4.0.4 WLPT to 4.0.4 WLPY but problem still presists.
Does anyone know if changing smalband (if that is possible?) could make a difference? Because that is the only similarity to the original state of my phone. A lot of AT&T users in the USA experienced the same problems also with 4.0.4. However, nobody can come up with a solution.

If it is new and warranty isn't voided, why not flashing the carrier ROM and get a new one?

Because I don't like to lose my phone for a couple of weeks. And I prefer to fix these things myself. I have seen so many topics about this on XDA and Google. There must be a solution to it.
Is it possible that these problems are caused by my modem? That is the only unchanged thing since I have had this phone.
I might have found a possible solution. I've read something on a Dutch forum about sim-cards causing these issues. So I have placed a new sim-card and the problem hasn't appeared in the last 3 days. Before that, the problem was occuring about 3-6 times in one day. It's too early to say this has solved my problem, but it definitely made a difference so far. If it keeps functioning perfectly for the next couple of days I will close this topic.
Symptoms were merely reduced. Phone still shuts down approximately each 2 days. Much better than it was before though. Why would a sim-card change reduce, but not solve the problem? This is starting to hurt my brain.

Yup, Murata chipset. I've googled some more on SoD. I have now installed an app called "Load Monitor" and enabled Wake Lock in preferences. This should prevent the phone from going into deep sleep, apparantly.
Some portugal carrier had a problem with lte sim card or something like that.
I really don't see how a sim card can actually mess with a phone.
Maybe the enabling of some features screws it up.

In my case Samsung Service Team replaced the motherboard. My new MB has a Samsung Electronics wifi chipset. Two weeks now and no SoD.
That sounds good. However, ever since I have installed Load Monitor my phone runs fine. It drains approximately 40% of my entire battery, but it lasts easily until the end of the day.
But again, I shouldn't get too excited. Sim-card change seemed to work in the first few days as well.
Will be continued...
It has been over a week since I have installed Load Monitor. My phone hasn't shut down once. Problem appears to be solved! I hope more people will read this topic, because I have seen a lot of desperate people during my search to a solution.
The only disadvantage is the battery usage of the application. I now have approximately 40-50% at the end of the day instead of 60-70%.

Hey guys, my i777 has been random rebooting for 3 months now. I've tried everything in the realms of wiping, foctory reseting, ROM flashing etc. When I flash a new ROM (I like SuperNexus and CM9/10) the random reboots are happenning once a day. As time goes by, the number of random reboots reaches a number like 10, 15 per day, which makes the phone basically a black brick. I've tried identifying usage patterns that could lead me to a system fail (maybe some app could be causing it?) but it didn't make either.
It's a hard reset (it takes me back to Samsung screen) and I've tried everything, in every way, in every forum you can imagine, I've also tried looking in the last_kmsg log file, but it never gives me material to work with.
My last attempt to make this work is right below, I've recorded the logcat (it's really big!). I'd be very pleased if anyone with more knowledge in Android system than me could try to identify what's causing this. Thank you so much! The logcat is attached in this thread.
So you've tried going back to stock ginger bread, not installing any apps, and seeing if the problem persists?

Yes I have, keep getting random reboots. Is this a case of throwing the phone away and buying another? I have it for 1,5 years, maybe should be time to move ahead... This thing already gave me so much headache that I've already paid another phone in stress and sweat

As long as you're not adjusting voltages, sounds like maybe the power button could be sticking

Well, guess this could be my last try. I'll check it out and post my results asap... thank you.
There are tutorials on replacing the power button, from what I've read its not too difficult but I suppose its always easier said than done eh lol.

I had a similar issue, mine would reboot sometimes once a week, sometimes 5-10 times a day. Random sleep of death, freeze and complete battery drain etc. I finally sent it in on my square trade warranty and they replaced the main board - some sort of short in there that was causing it i guess. I suppose it would be possible to swap out the main board, or buy a used phone with a broken screen or something to strip for parts.
There is a great video by "le55ons" on youtube tearing down a I9100 that could help you get an idea of what's involved.
