Is it possible to find out when exactly the phone last shut down?
i think this is what your looking for, although you will have to do some calculating.
Go into the phone and Enter *#*#4636#*#* once you do this, click on *battery Information* it should say *time since last boot: hr:min:sec like for me its 107 hours since last boot.
Hope this helps.
just go into main settings, about, status, and at the bottom shows how long the phone has been running since last reboot. you can do the math from there.
highest i've got on record was 540 hours without reboot, that's about 22 days, and i just gave up counting after that cause it went forever.

Hey everyone,
I've been lurking here since I first got my G1 about a year ago, and so far have been able to find all the answers I've needed by the methods you all prefer (searching, scanning through threads, etc). This time, however, I think I should probably just ask directly.
I spent most of the last week on a vacation in Mexico. APNs were shut off by Quick Settings, and although the phone was on for most of the week I scarcely used it. Yesterday, I shut it off (or so I thought) as we were standing in line to board the plane, slipped it in my pocket, and forgot about it.
When we touched down, I pulled it back out to find that it had frozen on the "Powering off" screen. I forced it to reboot (End-Menu-Call) and got it to a power source as quickly as I could since sitting in my pocket with the display on for the duration of a 2 hour flight had pretty well killed the battery, but since then I haven't been able to get it to boot past the G1 logo.
It will boot into my bootloader (Amon-Ra 1.7.0), but nothing I do there seems to help, including re-flashing the CM 5.0.8 zip. I've avoided wiping to this point, just in case what's there can be salvaged (though at this point I'm not so hopeful).
Does anyone have any idea what may have happened or what a solution might look like?
Thanks,
Ryan
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I woke up today to see my captivate screen showing blank screen (active black screen with buttons lighted up) being unresponsive. It was on it's charger from the night.
I pulled the battery to shut it down. It rebooted. I thought nothing about it until I tried to use it about an hour later.
I have had it on stock Froyo, with no root. Never have flashed any other ROM besides updates through kies.
Problems and things I've noticed so far:
No puzzle lock screen. Can't find it under "set screen lock". Only None, Pattern, PIN, Password available.
Home button and search button do not function(they light up like they are pressed, but not action occurs in any apps or home screen).
No data. Usually i'd see edge or 3g, but I have no data connection.
Text messages wiped. None available through "Messages"(though call log shows history of messages).
Keyboard was on stock android rather than swype(since changed back to swype).
Holding power button only shows "Power off" option. Before there was at least Airplane mode.
GPS was on(I hardly ever use it).
Location settings seemed to be default("use wireless networks" was unclicked)
Most other settings/app data seems fine.

Day or two before I received a text message from AT&T to download Kies and use Froyo(Don't remember exact wording, lost the text message, but something to the effect it looked like a mass mailing text to update to Froyo using Kies). I was already on Froyo(flashed as soon as I found out it was available few months back).
I also got a text message about downloading their at&t app to manage my minutes and pay my bill(also already had that app).
My Captivate would randomly freeze/unresponsive a few times, but I didn't think much of it.
Google Music app seemed to randomly start playing the audio file i paused(just in my pocket, or once when i put headphones in to make a call).
Searching the forums, haven't found too much related.
One thread suggested using "home switcher", which I have tried(both Froyo and regular versions, though can't press home button for Froyo version). Neither seems to know what my default Home App is, but it only sees TwLaucher(I only have TouchWiz).
Tried installing an alternative launcher(ADW,LauncherPro), still no home/search button.
I'm without my computer for the weekend, so I can't backup my files and reset to factory just yet.
Anyone have any thoughts to fix this or know what may have went wrong?
I might finally make the jump to a Custom ROM if it'll fix this.
Yes, you should either flash a custom rom or do a factory reset. I will say an event similar to this, also involving text messaging, is what made me make the leap to Assonance, and then Serendipity, and I haven't looked back.

At the least, try a master reset.
You're not alone....
Two Saturdays ago, I woke up, grabbed my phone to see what time it was and my phone was going haywire. It as blinking, flickering and rebooted on its own a couple of times...without me touching it.
When I DID manage to access the phone after a reboot there was no connection. I couldn't call, send/receive texts, nor could I access most of the features (during one of the haywire moments, the phone popped open my "Gallery" folder and started running a slideshow and then shut down. Again, all without me touching it!) There was a distinct blue circle with a slash where the 3G bars used to be on the top right corner of the phone.
I did a factory reset and didn't help. Wiped everything off the phone, but the device was still going nuts.
I got the phone in mid-December and have absolutely pampered that thing. Never dropped, never scratched, never abused. So I was surprised when I took it into the AT&T replacement center that the lady told me that my battery was wet! Not the phone, but the battery. Those two white-that-turn-pink indicators are so close to each other on the phone that I can't see how one gets wet while the other doesn't.
So they give me a new phone. One thing I noticed right away was that my data usage went WAY UP with the new device. To put it in perspective, I used 100 mb of data in 29 days and 64mb IN ONE DAY with my new phone. I thought it may be a one-time fluke, but it's not. I am only 10 days into my new month and am already at 164mb out of 200mb in my plan. I have NEVER used 164 mb in the 6 months previous, let alone in 10 days.
Fun's not over yet. I noticed a lot of crashes and "Force Closes" with the new phone too. I didn't even have any apps downloaded yet and things were still crashing. Last night I pull my phone out to take a picture and...nope. Screen was all kinds of whacked out and it crashed. And still does now every time I open the camera function. I managed to get in camera mode fast enough to do a reset, but didn't work. The screen is fine otherwise. So looks like I'm back to A&T tomorrow for another round.
I'm glad you posted this, cause the same morning all this happened -- literally, within 10 mins of me waking up -- my computer (brand new - 2 days old) went berserk and shut off and my stereo started flipping channels, turning the volume, treble, bass up and down..BY ITSELF without me touching ANYTHING! It was pretty freaky. I wondered if I was struck by lightning the night before.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
I was finally able to get back home today and do a factory reset. This (somewhat) solved the problem. Everything is mostly back to normal(home button and search button work on home screen, lock screen is there).
Lost a couple of game saves as I had no method to pull a save file(was doing adb pull on some known file locations).
I did run adb logcat before resetting, and home button and search button seemed to trigger something, just not follow through(Search button did work in a card game as a forward button and home button worked in the kies app to exit, just never as a return to home button in apps).
I'll be looking to root and flash a custom ROM, especially root so I can do a proper backup in case anything like this happens again.
I just want to say thank you posting in q&a and doing research before and after your flashing started. Then searched after your problem. You're a new member of a breed that are few and far between. I will hit your thanks when I get on my computer, app doesn't have it. You will go far here.
My vivid is resetting itself every night (bright white screen wakes me up). It is fine during the day but at least one a night (while charging) it resets. I sent logs to HTC and opened ticket but they don't have anything. I looked through the logs and found that battery temperature alarms with the battery reaching 235 and then slowly coming down to 226, then fatal reset with call alarm type 0 func alarm_triggered+0x0/0xa8, 132160779490000000000 then charm_efffatal: charm got errfatal interrupt
Anybody else see this? Should I exchange the phone?
I would, I very rarely get a reset, maybe once a week?

where do you view logs? Mine has reset ~3times yesterday, and about once a day otherwise. NOT STOKED.

I looked at the Tell HTC alert which gives you the options to send the log to them and to preview it before you send. You can also get alogcat from market to see (its a very long text file).

I just saw this thread about 20 minutes ago, and thought this hasn't happened to me, but then my phone had an abnormal reset about 5 minutes ago. I was checking out best buys add , so using the flash pretty heavily, I noticed my phone actually got hotter than it ever had before, but I have had other HTC phones get hotter, so idk...
It did the send report, but I didn't realize that we could see it before we send it, anyway we can see it after we send it?
Oh yeah, for some reason,before it did this the browser kept randomly turning off, taking me to the home screen...did it while I was just reading the threads on xda... Then poof...
First real issue I have had with the phone
happened to me today while i was driving. The first time it happened. I wouldn't have known if it didn't notify me about the reset.
Last night it got up to 259 and slowly came down to 226, then fatal error and reset. I don't know how to read the report to htc after you close the Tell HTC app.
Reset Happened to Me
I had been using Backcountry Navigator and the Camera app while hiking. I had been running both about an hour and a half, switching between the mapping app and the camera. Poof! Shut down. I can't speak to the temperature issue, but I have a case on the Vivid that might keep heat in and prevent me from feeling it. It came back up and asked if I wanted to send the error log to HTC. I did. it will be interesting to see if this gets fixed in an update.
this may be off subject...but browser seams to crash often...is this common on android phones...one moment I'm surfing then poof, browser disappears without warning and I'm back on the home screen.
When my phone crashed, it was after a couple of these browser poofs...I noticed it stops for some time if I delete the cookies, catch, etc...
Had the same issue a few times myself.

I got a new battery from HTC last week and that seems to have fixed the problem. No resets since.
I've been working through random, dumb issues getting my Nexus 6 set up for the last couple of hours, and finally got everything sorted out, and then got it rooted with no problems. The phone rebooted, and just as I was breathing a sigh of relief, the page pops up that says it's encrypting my phone. I don't know how long this is supposed to take because it just says "Time Remaining: 0:00" and that's all it's said since the screen popped up.
Any idea of how long it's supposed to take? I had to go on and pop my SIM card back into my old phone because it's been going for about an hour now and I have stuff to do tonight. :-\
My phone randomly rebooted around 4 am this morning (mountain time) The only way I noticed it was I was looking at battery stats and there was a white gap or is there some other explanation for that? I have not seen this before... stock no root no unlocked bootloader.... kind of weird no?
how are we supposed to know why your phone rebooted? you provided no info besides that it rebooted around 4am. no logs, nothing. my guess is that a spaceman came and made your phone reboot, just to watch the google logo as its booting up :silly:

No, definitely not a spaceman... Not in mountain time
If I knew how to provide logs I would have, guess I'll check with the spacemen and see if they have them. Thanks for the help, you can close the thread......
My phone used to reboot 2-3 per day. I removed the Amazon app and it hasn't rebooted since. If you have that app installed, uninstall it.
My phone had random reboots before, but it went away.
Today i had a freeze again, before a reboot happens i cant wake my phone up . So i tired the power button like 10 times. It came back on, stayed on lock screen for 2 second and everything went black. Had to turn it back on.
Its like a deep sleep of death. I don't get notifications or anything when this happens, but my Moto 360 somehow stay connected but cant do any voice search.
This i how i usually discover the problem. When i want to do some OK Goggle with my watch and it does nothing... Checking my phone and its always dead.
