My setup is in my sig and has run perfectly for months.
All of a sudden, something is waking it up constantly & I need to figure out what it is.
What app can I load to diagnose this??
Better Battery Stats, download it and let it run for atleast an hour. Or Badass battery monitor in the market, slightly easier to read, but may not make you aware of every since wakelock
BetterBatteryStats in the market. Go to partial wakelocks. Should tell you there. Just make sure you let it run without waking it up for a bit like the above post said.

Tried that, it's not showing anything at all.
The thing just went crazy while sitting here plugged it. It suddenly woke up & started making all kinds of loud repeated clicking noises.
That went on for maybe 60 seconds & then stopped. Now, everything seems fine again.

Uhhh that sounds like a serious issue. I would try it without the phone plugged in though.

Yea, it's weird. I've never had anything like this happen to a phone before.
It's like something is hammering it with a port scan.
I got sick of trying to figure out what's doing it and restored a three week old nandroid backup from when I know things where fine and it hasn't happened since, so go figure??
boot into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik...see if that takes care of it.

the phone powered off it self until i pressed the power button to turn on again. i noticed this often happened when i put in my pocket for a while. but when i put it on table over night it didn't happen.
roms that i tried that had the same problem:
batista 3.7++
lightening 3+,6+
cognition 1.4+
apps that i tried uninstalled but no avail:
-setcpu
-daemon control(batista rom)
-juice defender
is it due to motherboard issue? appreciate your advice. thanks.
have u tired wiping data and dalvik cache before installing any rom?

thanks, yes, i in fact wiped all and even install stock rom before any mod roms. and i also changed few kernels(stock, nipo, CF..)but still the same..
now trying to use kh4 stock rom and see..
So the this issue s only occurring when the phone is in your pocket and never when out of your pocket.
this happens to my Phone as well.. its kinda random...
sometimes when am listening to music and sometimes when its just on standby
for example it just restarted which reminded me to search for this error...
few days ago it was on standby and had shut itself down and the battery was completely drained after 5 hours without anything on.

yes, found it only happens when putting in my pocket. when charging over night or putting on my work desk, it didn't happen.
and yes, it happened few times when it turned off it self, it lost about 10% to 20% battery in just few minutes... the phone was warm when it happened. that was why i took out to check and found it already powered off..

What firmware you have? I run on XXKH3 for 3 days (previously on XXKG3 for 2 weeks), no boot issues.

lightening 3.2 = KG2
Batista 3.7 = KH3
Cognition 1.4 = KG6
all happened to shut down it self. so i guess it is not rom issue..
I would try a stock ROM for a week, just to be safe (no apps/tweaks/kernel, etc., really stock). I'm pretty sure a recent stock ROM will not give you issues, I would not worry about the hardware.

thanks for your advice, will try stock rom then
Ya, do that... just to see what is going on.
More on the technical side, the screen needs minimum 500Mhz to get out of Sleep Mode. Some custom Rom's use a low voltage or "underclock" feature that reduces the power consumption but also the number of CPU steps. That is what makes your phone crash and reboot randomly.
Once you put the stock ROM, do a sdcard wipe (if you use one), just to be safe. It should take several hours, so do it over the night. Personally I would not use an external sdcard during the one week test, just be sure.
You could also have a RAM (hardware) issue, ya. But 99% of the time is related to software. Bad memory degrades fast so you will see your random reboots pop at a faster frequency. If you did all the above and still experience random reboots, run adb logcat to see what is going on at that specific moment. If you get error codes like:
Code:
code 1 (SEGV_MAPERR), fault addr 00000000
you are dealing with bad memory unfortunately and need to service your phone.

I also heard that some people had bad battery contacts on their S2. Clean them with some audio head tape cleaner and cotton swabs, than make sure the contacts are proper... it should eliminate this possibility. In a way, it makes sense since you move a lot with your phone in your pocket.

you got my THANK button too. but how to run "adb logcat"?
Is all explained into link. Time to read?
However, I have a feeling this is your problem, since the phone restarts in your pocket only. Don't smack it like the guy did, heh. Go easier, think like it is your girlfriend...
Just clean the battery contacts and make sure they touch properly.
is there a guide on how to install Stock ROM back on? cant find any...
how can i root my sgs2...?
it also happened to my phone. so i brought it back to the store where i purchased it and told them that it was shutting down randomly when i put it in my pocket. after 15 days of waiting i called them for follow up because they told me it will take 7-10 working days. they told me that the phone never shut down in the service center. what can i do about it? i don't know how to flash or root. this is my first android phone.
I have finally found a solution... installed XXKH3 FW stock, not rooted yet, and installed an application from the android market called Load Monitor
Code:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.landak.loadmon
and enabled only Add Notifications, only notify high load, autostart and only screen on... seems to do the job, no battery drainage and most of all NO SOD (Sleep Of Death) or restarts anymore
If you still have problems try checkin wake lock from the options of the app...
Hope it helps

The phone did not rebooted in their store because they did not move it, you have a bad battery contact that can be fixed easy.

Weird, people reported that app adds load to the phone. Why not use terminal instead to check the stats?

ops..missed you link..ok will read it.
lol, i do hope it's my problem and not my phone's.. i've been modding this and that on it for the past 3months since i bought it, i think it's time to treat it nicely like my girl friend and see what is her response to me.. it's been one day testing, so far ok.. thanks..
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.

Mine also does and I have seen posts in other forums of others complaining of smae thing.

So about five minutes ago I was playing a game called Triple Town and all of the sudden my screen freaked out and was super distorted and it wasn't hardly usable. So I turned the screen off and back on and nothing happened. Then I restarted my phone and it fixed it. But it scared me because I just got my phone back from getting repaired. Has this happened to anyone else?

Nope. Do you ever turn your phone off? If not, you need to turn it off and it will fix half the issues you ever get.

^is always a good idea, you could take a step or 2 further..
1. pull battery and re-seat SIM and MicroSD
2. if rooted you could clear cache and davlik cache
If my phone ever acts up, I just remove the battery for a minute. I restart the phone 2 - 3 times a day to clear up the RAM. Never had an issue.

Really? Do you restart that often out of habit or do you notice a difference? I know old WinMo phones needed to be restarted on a regular basis to clear up memory that wouldn't get released, but I didn't think that was an issue on Android. BTW, this is my 1st Android phone so I am genuinely curious.

It is both. I used to have a Nokia phone and I used to restart it 1 - 2 a day. I used to work at T-Mobile and many issues I get from customers were solved just by pulling the battery out or restarting the phone. The phone is like a computer. It needs to clear up the memory. It makes a noticeable difference.
I try to remember to reboot the phone every few days. I think it helps keep things running smoothly.
If I have a problem I will turn off, pull battery, and pull SIM. So far with this phone I only did that once when it spontaneously rebooted. Hasn't happened since.
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.

thanks for the response. and I found my problem already too, I had a bad power ribbon inside the phone that was torn.
I have two consultations, actually. Hehe.
(1) I'm not really sure what happened but my XS suddenly freezes when I'm in a middle of a game perhaps or maybe doing something with an app.
It just literally freezes. I had to restart, unless it'll drain my battery with it's screen on forever.
Anybody got an idea what happened there? o_o...?
Cause I dont. Havent really touched the phone yet, I mean, I havent rooted it yet and all. So I basically have "just apps and games" here.
(2) Also, a few weeks ago, when I woke up, my phone's DEAD. WTF. I dunno how or why but I'm assuming that my phone's screen was probably on the whole night. (I've observed what happens whenever someone texts me, my phone's light doesnt seem to go off after that), and I'm so confused that I FORGOT what I actually did to solve that, but for some lame reason, it happened again a few days ago.
What was that? o_o...?
xoxo
thanks :3
Wow 173 views and no response.
I'm betting it's something software related like an app or apps you installed causing issues.
Freezing can also be due to the device over heating while playing a game or multi tasking.
Check the apps you installed and remove anything dodgy, failing that try my post about factory resetting or restoring your device and start fresh again.
Don't forget to back up your phone book to gmail and instal the latest updates from the development section.
Failing that take the device back to the store for a replacement/fix.
