Hello everyone,
I've been experiencing a quite annoying problem with my Nexus. Once and a while, especially when the battery is fully charged, my N1 decides to freeze while locked, and the only way for me to reboot it is to take the battery out, put it back in and turn the phone on again. The problem is it happens 2 or 3 times a day, and most of the times I don't even realize for a while. It's like it just turns off by itself.
I'm running CyanogenMod 6.0.0 and kernel 2.6.35.4-CFS-intersectR root raven-lx #1 , in case it helps with finding a solution.
Has anyone had the same problem? Or heard about it?
Let me know if you can help me!
Thanks

I think you can reboot your phone by pressing POWER+VOL DOWN+TRACK BALL at the same time.
It sounds like it is the kernel that is causing it, I had Pershoots 2.35 kernel causing reboots, and a hot phone. I went back to the stock 2.32 kernel, because I decided the 115 extra mhz on the processor is not worth added bugs.
Experiencing random shutdowns ever since moving to Congnition. This morning, just to clean everything out, I did an Odin Master Clear and used Odin to flash Cognition 2.2b6. About an hour later, I had my first random shutdown.
This doesn't appear to be totally random. It only occurs when the phone is in screenlock mode, such as when it's in my pocket or sitting unused on my desk. I will go grab the phone to turn on the screen, and realize that it is shut off. So, I have to long hold it to boot it back up again.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue with Cognition? It seems to occur about once an hour for me, and sometimes it will go hours without shutting down. Also, it never appears to shutdown when I'm using it, but maybe that's just by chance.
Any other ideas how I could fix this? I've already Master Cleared. Could it be an app that doesn't play well? The only apps I've installed so far is Launcher Pro, Beautiful Widget and Titanium Backup, of course.
Are you serious??????? You open a thread just to ask this question?? Why not ask in the Cognition thread?!!!!

Because it has a trillion posts and my question would be swallowed up in about three minutes.
Same here but i dont think its cognition its the froyo leak. It was happening to me with the stock leak too so i know its not cog. If u think it is try the stock leak. But id wait to see if it still happens after offical build.

I would use Odin One Click and go back to stock for a few days and see what happens.
If your restoring with Titanium Backup, don't restore settings.
bet you don't get a solution before they lock this thread
No random shut downs here on either cog 2.2 beta 5 or beta 6

+1 b5.5,b6,b7 No shutdowns. Had them all the time on 2.1 JF6.
my random shutdown issue STOPPED as soon as I started running Cognition ROMS. DG was a lifesaver for my phone.
If your having them.. keep it on stock - if it repeats - you have a dud and need to get it replaced.
And when you flash it to stock.. don't load anything on it to see if it stops the random shutdown.
**edt... and um wth is this in the dev forum and not the Q&A?
Try this if you havent
No problems here either. I have been with Cog since the beginning and have never had this problem. I had it on another ROM from another Dev and immediately came back to Cog. I am now running Cog 2.2 Beta 7 and Love it! Fastest phone I have ever owned, very stable and GPS finally works!!! I would recommend flashing back to stock with Odin, doing a master clear and then installing Cog beta 7 via Rom Manager. I dont deal with Odin when flashing ROM's, only when going stock.
Hope this helps!
hey... i thought i was the only one getting the random shutdowns. i think i've been getting it since the first month of owning my phone. i get it 2-3 times a day. 1 if i'm lucky. i don't blame it on cognition's rom, tho... dunno what to do or who to ask about this problem.
but as for flashing back to stock and then the latest COG rom, i have tried that, but it didn't work...
I haven't run Cog beta7 for very long, but I can tell you I've never had a random shutdown for the entire time I've owned my phone (bought 3 days after release).
I'm tempted to tell you to try a different battery or something of that nature...

i would agree swapping the phones battery or the whole thing would be the way to go...
This is not an unusual issue. Seems even Moto apologized for it in their Froyo OTA for the Droid. Moto says a fix is coming. I would suspect it is a Froyo bug and something that will be worked out in a future update for all Froyo handsets.
No random shutdowns for me on stock leaked of any of the 2.2 cognitions
I've been having random shutdowns on Stock 2.1 Eclair for a while, there was another thread poster about this in the Q&A.
Even after I flashed to cognition b5.5, I get them, and with the same frequency. Sometimes I get 2 or 3 a day if I'm extremely unlucky, usually I'll only get one like once a week. I don't really find it to be too big of an annoyance.
I think it has something to do with an app, and not the phone itself. If you're getting them consistently 2-3 times a day then I guess you should just master clear, go back to plain stock, and then reflash cognition if you want to.
PEBCAC problem

PEBCAC problem "me thinks".
Its device specific, I had one that did it, they gave me a new one.

That definitely seems to be the case. I had a Captivate that was running JF6 that was completely stock other than being rooted. It started randomly shutting down within a couple of days. I thought it could be an issue with rooting it, so I flashed back to stock and used it like that for a few days. The random shutdown issue didn't go away, so I took my phone back and told them it was defective. They gave me another one and I haven't had the shutdown issue even once, through JF6, JH7, JI6, and Cognition 2.2 Beta 6 and now Beta 7.
Had my phone running nice with 2.1 utb and lagfix ext4. Saw the unofficial froyo 2.2 and installed and had that running great.
Suddenly the last week my phone was shutting down randomly. Decided to odin it and went back to jf6.
Phone still shut down on me, so I figured what the hell and updated the firmware via kies to jh7.
No issues.....and all of a sudden I no longer have a lock screen. Now I hit the power button and the phone is unlocked. Not a big fan of this since it's too easy to bump the power button while in my pocket.
Anyone else experience this? I'm stock right now (unrooted, no lag, etc).
Also for the random shut downs, could it be the battery maybe? I need to see if it happens with jh7 and if so, may swap my battery with my wife's to see if it still happens.
Hello
I am having trouble shutting down my phone from time to time.
I select to shutdown and then the 'shutting down' message appears for some time and then the screen goes black. But afterwards when I try to turn my phone on nothing happens. I need to remove the battery before I can turn my phone on.
Does anyone else have or had had this similair problem, and maybe a solution for it?
Thanks in advance.
Bump
Bump.
No one else having this issue?
I havn't had the issue myself nor have I read about anybody else but you having it. Have you rooted and have you installed a custom rom?
If it is all stock it does sound like yours might have something more wrong with it other than the usual shutdowns, reboots and freezes that is known on this device.
Yes, my phone is rooted, CM7-nightlies.56, vorkKernel-20110622 OC'ed to 1400mhz, 606 ril and 606 baseband. If nobody else is experiencing this problem I might have to try the stock rom for a period to compare...
But thanks for the reply.

While scrolling through my Nexus 6 apps, the phone froze and the screen went nuts. I had to turn the phone off and restart it. Samething happened a few hrs later....... Am i the only one experiencing this? Any troubleshooting tips? Thanks in advance.
Never seen that before. Are you on stock?
I was on stock and had it happen one time. A reboot resolved it. I think the SW thought I wanted to add all my apps as shortcuts.
Im also running stock. Havent had an issue until today. First time it happened, i had to reboot. Second time I just locked and unlocked the phone.
