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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I had them on Stock ROM but havent had any since installing Beta 6 or 7.

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

+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

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.
As far as I'm concerned, I notice JPM/JPK Roms (I have applied tayutama 1.0.0 and voodoo kernel pre6) has this VIBRATE issue when the phone goes into sleep.
In details:
When the screen goes off (black), in a few seconds, the phone will have a slight vibrate.
If you turn on the screen and play around with it and let it sleep again (screen goes off), in few seconds it will still vibrate again!!
Not only a few seconds after phone sleep it will vibrate, I notice the phone will vibrate on its own (phone is sleep) once in awhile in no specific duration
Anybody experiencing this can let me know what causes it? I do not know whether stock ROMs have this problem coz I always flash another ROM (mostly to deodex) over my stock ROM with either lagfix or voodoo kernel applied right after
I would appreciate if we investigate it in details if this issue is confirmed
have same problem with jp6 firmware ,have posted in jp6 firmware topic about it
Oh, I think this issue is serious enough to have a thread on its own
Anyway do we have a solution/workaround for it so far? Would love to solve this 'bug' as it's kinda annoying at times...
Yep, I get that too, on JP6 .. and all in all.. I am really pissed right now, Voodoo pre6 F***ed up my radio connection .. it detects networks in 3 4 minutes, it connects and then it disconnects in a matter of seconds,...,,, mothaxxxxx
Same problem here with JPM. Im using sztupy 0.1 experimenatal rom, but after reading your posts it seems clear that its not a problem of his room
It's dreaming leave it alone.
Wifes phone refused to send text early this evening, turned phone off, phone has failed to restart since, gets stuck at start up logo and just keeps randomly vibrating.
The phone is running froyo jp6 on voda network
Usually a random vibrate means a process is crashing or has a serious error. Use the alogcat or adb logcat to look at the log immediately after this happens, or if there's nothing there look in the kernel log with "adb shell dmesg".
Got phone to boot but everything is gone, with out a factory reset even external sd card has been blanked out . Missus is well pi#$ed off
Time to go buy her that Iphone 4 shes always wanted Or get used to sleeping in dog house. Your call
Galaxy s. Docs Froyo 7.6.2 JPO
. Recently been having a problem where it seems like the screen is being pressed down the right hand side. This makes it almost impossible to use the phonel
.
The behaviour doesn't start straight away and if i restart it will behave ok for a day or so.
Anyone have any ideas on a fix?
Edit: just restarted and it's now happening constantly. Screen test toolkit shows that the screen is being pressed on.the right hand side and that it's moving up and down the right.side.
Thought i should update this. Don't know what was wrong but i did a complete reinstall of Docs latest JPO ROM and latest speedmod kernel and everything seems to be fine now.
Hello,
Two days ago I upgraded to Gingerbread from 2.2.1, both times using Kies. I did the factory reset, CF root and put all my apps back with Titanium. No system backup was restored.
Suddenly the phone started to shut down if the screen shut down, regardless if I did a quick press on the powerbutton or let the screen time out. No lit buttons and the computer doesn't recognise the phone. The only way to start the phone was to press the powerbutton for 10 seconds. If the phone is correctly shut down you only need to press the button for approx two seconds for it to start.
I did another factory reset and the phone worked ok for a day but the problem showed up again today. EVERY single time the screen goes black the phone shuts down.
Edit:
I don't think the phone is shut down. When I call it I get a beep in the other phone as if nobody is answering. If I shut down my phone correctly and call it I get a voice that says "the number you dialed cannot be reached".
Any ideas?
I have the same problem with my phone at the moment, I have tried numerous software versions and all are the same, I think it is either a battery issue or a complete phone fault.
If it's still under warranty see if they will replace it.
You updated twice from what rom stock custom /original
Twice why ???
What network was the Kies firmware for re phones product code .
A flash through Odin to stock Froyo with pit 512 and repartition checked could well fix any faulty rom problem .

It seems like when the device goes to sleep it cannot wake up any more. I'm getting the same problem by the way. The only way to come out of it as you mentioned already is to hold the power button for 10 seconds or pull the battery out.
My steps for upgrading from Darky's 9.5 were:
1) Odin stock JVB with bootloader (repartitioned with pit512)
2) Odin deodexed JVB without bootloader
3) Odin CF-Root
4) Applied lagfix through ext4
5) Flashed Gingerbread theme (v3 and after it v4)
6) Odin Voodoo
(with a reboot between each of the steps)
And that's about it. Have you applied any modifications or hacks?

I did not write that very clear. I meant that both the upgrade to 2.2.1 a couple of weeks ago and the upgrade to 2.3.3 was done with Kies, not Odin.

NEE
I did another factory reset... Odin flash is next.
I updated the phone to Gingerbread with Kies.
I then rooted it with Odin (CF)
I have not done any modifications other than that.
I'm starting to think it maybe be some root app's fault. When I reinstalled using Odin to stock all was fine, then installed CF-Root, but as soon as I restored my apps it started happening again. I froze SetCPU, NoLED, and WidgetLocker, and so far nothing bad has happened. Weird. Fingers crossed that it stays this way...

I only have SetCPU of the ones you listed.
Did you do a factory reset before you frooze those apps? If not, I guess you have found the problem.
Maybe you should try to unfreeze them one by one?
Edit: One of my settings for SetCPU was to set the CPU to 100 MHz when the screen turned off. Could be something...
I found this in another forum:
"i figured out why SetCPU makes my phone never wake up, the settings i was using was ondemand 100 min 1000 max. SetCPU is set to 100 in standby and this is just too slow and puts the phone completely to sleep.
ive since moved up the phone to 400 min and ive gone a day without any sleeping.

Yes, I factory reset. But it does look like SetCPU. I unfroze WidgetLocker overnight and no problem.
I also had a 100MHz setting when the screen turned off. So I think we have found the problem I guess I'll ask Chainfire why 100MHz no longer seems to work, but it did on 2.2. I'm a bit worried about the battery now...
Hi I have a strange problem with my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (I9000M) running 2.3.3 stock.
Description:
a) Booting the phone would show the big S animation and bong sound however after that the animation repeats in a loop with no more sound. The phone never reaches the home screen. I notice this mostly in the morning when I wake up.
b) Usually during the morning when I wake up to check the time the screen doesn't turn on but it seems as if the phone is still working; the chime for plugging in the charger sounds. (I thought the battery was dead but it was actually at 60%)
What I've done so far:
a) I brought it back to the vendor and got a new phone.
b) Holding the power button would turn off the phone, then I would turn it back on. Sometimes it requires that I pull out the battery which results in losing all my data on the internal memory like a factory reset.
Question:
I'm highly concerned. I've gone through two of these phones and problem "b" is always a prelude to problem "a". I'd like to know if there is a possible solution and/or what the problem might be?
Note:
a) The problem started happening a day or so after I started using Samsung IM. (Skype was installed but never used)
b) The problem started the morning right after I installed Skype. (I have since uninstalled Skype, it's still happening )
You should not be losing data on your SD card by pulling the battery.
Did they give you a new phone or a refurb?
What's the build number of your phone? Should be a number under the battery in YY.MM format.
Hi Black Rose
I was talking about the internal memory not the sd card.
It's a new phone.
The build is 11.11.
If you are running stock 2.3.3 and having those issues, I think the phone is faulty.
My wife is running 2.3.3 on an 11.03 build and has no problems.
The fact that you are losing data when you pull the battery sounds like the internal memory is failing.
Alright, thanks. Do you have an idea what causes the screen to not turn on for the second phone? (This new one doesn't loose internal memory on battery pull)
I had that happen to my own phone (also an 11.03) once with Froyo 2.2 and once with 2.3.3.
With Froyo I was able to plug in the charger and the phone "woke up".
The only time it happened on 2.3.3 I received a couple of notifications at the same time and had to power it off to get the phone to work again. It never happened again in the several months I was running 2.3.3.
Okay!
Thank you Black Rose for giving me some useful information. I was just worried that this would lead to something a lot worse.
Much appreciated!
This is my 3rd phone had the exact same problem as you I heard it was something with the mother board there is a board in here dedicated to the problems with the gt-i9000m

Thanks for letting me know bambam1978; I hadn't realized there was a whole topic for all the problems. I've been searching for the specific problem where most have customs roms which is why I started this one.
