I have a tilt and for some reason the last couple of days it will just turn its self off. It has done it twice while I was in the middle of a call. Any know what could be causing this. ATT stock ROM... Second one already exchanged one with same problem, No Software installed....
Me too! I have the same issue. I tried to reset Tilt (from Setting options) and it did not solve the problem. I am seeking ways to solve this issue before I have to call ATT.
Please Help!!!
this started happening to me about 1 month ago, it's progressively gotten worse (phone turns off after 2min call even with full battery). At first I thought maybe the phone was overheating because immediately turning the phone back on after it shut-off during a call the phone would get half way through booting and then turn off again.
Luckily my phone is under warranty for another couple weeks (cutting it pretty close!) I called att and they think it's a battery problem. they sent me a new one... I just got it today. Going to do some heavy use and see if I can get it to turn off.
keep ya posted.
charged the new battery completely and then ran it all the way down testing it with phone calls / internet surfing / downloads... no crash or power off. looks like the battery was the problem.

So, I turned off my phone last night, and turned it back on this morning to no service. I did a soft reset to see if my phone was just being difficult, and it still could not find service. I put it on my pocket and walked around with it, and picked up a signal after 10 or so minutes. This is particularly odd, because my phone was in a spot (when I had just turned it on) where it would usually have very good reception. Now, whenever I soft reset it, it takes a really long time (and a lot of battery) to find a signal! I figure it COULD be AT&T's network being really shady today, but I haven't heard any other reports and my friend's phones are all acting fine.
What could be the problem here? I'm using the stock HTC rom, with radio 1.27.12.11 on AT&T in the US.
Me too
I have the same radio version as you, however, I am on stock Kaiser using T-Mobile. I've had this problem many times. Not every reset but most result in several minutes of no service. I've even gone into settings and forced "Find Network" but that doesn't seem to speed things up.
Anyone have a solution?
I've also noticed that texts take reallllllly long to send. This one's been sitting in my outbox for at least 15 minutes now, with 4 bars of service.
Ahhhhhh.
I'm going to flash a new radio, 1.27.14.09 once my phone's battery is charged past 50%. Hopefully this will resolve my problems!
hi,
about 2-3 times this week, my tilt would go to sleep, but when i press the power button, it would not wake. i know there is still power because of the blinking green and bluetooth light. any suggestions on how to fix this?
I think that's the "Sleep of Death". Do a search for it. For me, I did a hard reset and it went away.
Good luck!
happens to me also. So annoying, next time it happens call yourself and see if the phone wakes up or if it jumps straight to voicemail, i'd like to know mines hasnt done it in a while. I think it happens when you have it plugged into the wall for a long period of time and its sleeping. Like that night when you're sleeping.
I've had that problem a few times but its mainly only when its on the charger at night that it happens. What I've been doing now is just not turning it off at night when its charging that way the alarm goes off in the morning. Some people don't like it on as the screens not completely off and the light drives them nuts.
are you within the 30 day period, as in a new contract? I am on my 4th phone, the three before this one all had the same problem not waking, hopefully you are not past the 30 days and can trade it in, you could always try installing the new ATT rom, it might fix your issue I have heard it helped some, if nothing else its worth a try.

Do youy use any other roms? Do you hard reset?
This happened for the very first time to me this week on my tytn 2. Fixed it by taking the battery out. Had my phone for 6 months.
my alarm didn't go off this morning for that very reason....good thing I have 2 other alarms...lol
I thought my problem was charging related, but I didn't charge it overnight...
I have had the same problems too , on my fourth phone now . What has seem to of helped was removing the micro sd card , doing a hard reset and for the last 4 days , had no further "sleeping" problems .
it would be interesting to find out whether you all have been using micro sd cards in your phones ( THIS COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM) Or should I say a faulty sd card could be causing the problem .
also some interesting points regarding the same topic here

When I had the first three phones I was just typical "Joe Consumer" I had no idea about this website or any of the cool stuff I have learned here. So consequently I just knew there as a problem and it was pissing me off so I kept taking them back and swapping. If the 4th didn't work I was going to go with the iphone so I could have something to use when I travel to check email and other BS. But the 4th worked and all is well. Although sometimes i wish I would of got the Iphone just because of battery life and it is alot faster with applications than my phone at least. But I cant take that feeling of being in a Jail Cell every time I hold that thing...........
Hi,
My TYTN-II is powering/shutting off upon incoming call or connecting with GPRS..
Let me narrate the problem in details....
Almost a month ago i activated my GPRS/Data connection and i installed WMWiFiRouter almost a week ago. Then I start noticing that after activating WiFiRouter my phone powered off after 10-15 minutes use. After noticing this several times ; i stop using the WiFiRouter. Then i realised that my phone shutting off whenever i try to connect GPRS or try to update the weather.
And before turning off the screen start flickering..
After that i stop using the GPRS...
But on the very next morning; i noticed that upon recieving the incoming call the screen flickered for a while and then phone powered off. And when i turn on the phone i noticed that at the GREEN WM startup screen Phone flickered and then phone powered off.
BUT if i remove the SIM from the phone then there is no flickering... and device starts up without any flickering.
And BTW i also try upgrading the WM6.1 OEM RUU but that didn't solve the problem So then i revert back to WM 6 OEM RUU
So now question is ; is it Hardware problem or Software ? And is there any solution ?
Looking forward for a positive response.
Thanks
I checked some other forums and is it possible if this relates with Battery ?
Since my battery is almost 50% from its original condition and i am still using the Original Supplied Battery since NOV-07...
Any input would be highly appreciated....
Yes, it seems it could relate to the battery. All the operations you describe are those where current draw will be high. If you can, it would be good to try another battery.
Hi,
Just to update the community that after replacing the battery; all the above mentioned problems have been solved....
Hi Guys,
Could someone tell me why my 2 weeks old Galaxy S (Service Provider: Bell) turns it self off out of the blue?
It happend twice already, the phone was on my pocket, I pushed the on/off side botton and nothing happens, the screen is pitch black!!
This is an irritating issue as I'm forced to physically take out the phone from the case and remove the battery and put it back on to turn on the phone.
Does anybody whats causing this issue? and how to fix it ?
Your help is much appreciated!
Cheers
Also, I was wondering if I do a factory reset to try solving the random shutting down problem, will I have to re-purchase all the apps I bought from the Market?
Send for warranty is needed I think
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

No, the info that you purchased the apps is stored in your Google account. So if you use the same Google account as you're using now as your primary account after reset, you can download all those apps for free. (Primary account is the Google account you first associated with the device.)
i had the same problem with 3 different bell vibrants. About 6 days ago, i bought a new sim card from bell for $5, and it has not happened since. I bought my phone from Bestbuy, but bought my new sim card from Bell store because perhaps the bestbuy sim cards are outdated. Hopefully it stays ok.
One thing i did notice was that when my phone would turn off by itself, it was always in an area where there was bad reception. Maybe a link.
I found that it happened when I installed a different launcher other than Touchwiz. I was using LauncherPro, uninstalled it and everything worked fine. I installed ADW and everything is fine so far.
I saw this thread yesterday and was thankful mine hadn't developed this issue. And then last night after about two hours idle time, my SGS switched itself off and the power button wouldn't respond at all. The only way to revive my beloved phone was to do a hard reset (i.e. removing the battery).
For what it's worth, the only "mods" I've made are installing a handful of apps. No new launcher, no custom ROMs etc.
I'm tempted to give Voda a ring and ask for a new SIM. But this really smells more like a hardware fault to me. A faulty SIM shouldn't result in a handset switching itself off, I'd think...
i'v encountered smailar problem , first i thought my phone turned itself off, later i suspected some apps i'v installed ( setCPU, autokiller etc), after while and digging, i found that i'v installed "Android Tweak" , it has an option to disable screen dim, and i'v used that option, so i changed it back and the problem is gone.
in Spain we have the same problem and no solution by now

Same thing happened to me last night. Maybe a bug with the date?

Mine just died again ten minutes ago. I guess it's a possibility, but considering the number of bugs that we're all discovering with the hardware and software, I'm suspecting it's yet another dodgy batch of phones from Samsung.
I just bought two Galaxy S and I am having same problems with both. I called Belll and they said they never had this kind of problem before. I had installed few apps and thought may be those apps were causing the problem, but even after deleting the apps..phones are powering off itself...
Did any one find the solution yet??
Same problem here, and from what i am hearing is becoming frecuent among galaxy owners. Im amazed something this important hasnt made the news , i mean, its a huge malfunction issue .
I had the same issue.
I called up Samsung support and they asked me to do a phone reset. I didn't try that, but I upgraded the firmware and it's gone now. I suspect resetting the phone will also solve the issue.
This happened to me for the first time today as I woke up and it wasn't dark outside. When I looked to see what time it was my phone (that I use as an alarm) was off!!
This is the first blemish on an otherwise outstanding experience. But it is a major one. I will assume that it is somehow related to something I've installed. But I'm not looking forward to figuring it out, since I've got a lot of apps

Good luck. I did a factory restore the other day to see if that would help. It didn't. Like you I use my SGS as an alarm... I woke up two hours late this morning because my phone had switched itself off in the middle of the night.
I'm currently waiting for a replacement handset. I'm not holding my breath that the new hardware won't have exactly the same bug though...
Mine started doing this yesterday...same with a bunch of coworkers that have the same phone. We think it may be related to bad reception.
Sigh
My phone just started doing this in the last couple of days.
I've also noticed sometimes it gets into a state of continuously saying "usb debugging connected" and then "usb connected" and just continuously keeps displaying those even though it has no usb cable anywhere near it..
Havent flashed the phone for about a week now and it was fine for 3-4 days after the flash so no idea what is going on..
Anyone else seen those usb messages? They come and go.. but it seems when they come its usually when my phone turns off..

I've not seen anything like that myself but then I have stuck with stock firmware.

Thats funny...because the only time it has happened to me is at work, where the phone is struggling for reception. It has turned off a total of about 8 times over 1 month. It has never turned off anywhere else (except one other time i was getting bad reception in the forest, and a few minutes later it was off)...strange
I got my watch two days ago, so far my watch has restarted 4-5 times a day for no reason at all. This is what usually happens:
Goes to Settings page
Vibrates for a while for no reason
Restarts
Steps 1-3 again a few more times
I've tried to do a reset on it to see if it fixed the issue but it still happens. It will eventually start working again after a few goes of me powering it on and off. Whilst this is all happening, I can feel my wrist getting warmer (like the watch is overheating or something).
Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if so, could you fix it? If not, then I shall give LG a call to get a replacement.
Thanks
In a full day use.. i do get one reboot.. Weird but not a big deal..
