This is the LG REV. Great phone. I have it rooted, and several things frozen via Titanium. So, its been a few days, haven't downloaded anything, all my songs are good from before I rooted, no issues. This morning, my phone was off. My wife didn't touch it, I didn't either, I got up and the alarm was supposed to go off at 430, but I was up at 5 to check it. So there is that. Then I was driving, and Tune in Radio lost its connection, so I made a call to the wife to say hi. Ended the call, and went to turn on the radio, and it stalled so bad, I had to reboot. Well when I booted, I lost data connectivity. I booted, battery pulled, and lost it for about an hour. Finally I booted, called the wife to see if it would bring data back. It didn't. I rebooted again, and then hit Google Maps, it took a second, but the satellite popped up, and boom there was the data stream. What do you all think?

As for the alarm:
If you have a task killer/manager/stopper whatever it is....make sure you have the ALARM ignored/excluded/blocked/etc.
Also...make sure you didn't freeze your alarm or the alarm widget with TiBU
I'm having major issues with my revo today. I went to bed last night with the phone on the charger after using it with no problems. This morning The alarm did not go off and I woke late. When I checked the phone, it was a blank black screen. No response to anything I did. I did battery pulls and it would seem to boot up, I'd get to the Verizon LTE screen and it would go black and just vibrate occasionally.
I did a factory reset and now it boots to the Lock screen but when I unlock it everything is blank. No responses to the buttons.
I received a phone call and was able to answer it, and now I can make calls but only from my contact list not from using the dial pad.
I'm off to the Verizon store fora probable replacement.
I have had some similar issues. I held out on taking it in to try cubed's rom but I'm still having issues. I have had a couple mornings that my phone was off, as well as a few other times it randomly turned off. A couple times it was while on a walk using SportsTracker. Three times when receiving a call the phone froze up and vibrated constantly for several seconds until it rebooted. Finally, I've also had a few times that data randomly stopped working. Guess I'm going in for a replacement today.
Yah, I think I am going to unroot and hang on that for a few days, and see what happens. I have had data hang ups the last few days, programing stalls. I have had to do battery pulls and all that fun stuff.

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.
About phone info:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-i897

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.
Hey there.
I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 Active on the AT&T network. Recently, I've been plagued by a number of troubles.
Bit of background:
For a while, I had the most bizarre issue: the screen thought I was touching it when I wasn't, near the bottom-middle of the screen, and would attempt to open/click on anything in that area. Often turning the screen on and off would help, for a little while. I was reaching my wits' end, because that would obviously be very frustrating to someone who uses their phone frequently throughout the day.
I thought maybe it had been new software I had installed, so I did a factory reset. Problem remained. I factory reset with NO backups. Problem remained. I updated to 4.4.2 via OTA. Problem remained...
And then mysteriously went away on its own.
I've been working in tech for a decade now, mainly in PC and server architecture, so I know better than to look a gift horse in the mouth - but I also know better than to think a problem that "mysteriously" goes away is gone for good. So the first part of my question: does anyone know what could have possibly been causing this?
I'm not super phone-savvy. I've rooted and flashed a few phones in the past couple years, but I'm by no means developer-level.
---------------------
Which brings me to my next problem... around the time that this issue went away, another one cropped up. Randomly, my phone will stop sending/receiving texts/calls, and the data connection will not function. This will continue until I turn on airplane mode and turn it off--at that point I receive all my missed texts, and it works again... sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes for nearly 2 days. It's really frustrating. I've tried factory resets, I've tried restoring default APNs... but I'm at my wit's end with this. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
I should add that, with my last issue, it still shows a data connection in the notification bar - but there is none, or at least, no activity on it. It doesn't simply act as if it's in airplane mode and go "wah no data network" as soon as I try using it--it just simply hangs for ~30 seconds, then times out. Messages don't get received, webpages don't load, calls don't get placed, etc.
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.
Hi all, I need help.
It happened a couple of days ago that overnight, with aero mode on, my not rooted xt1053 didn't wake me up since it just turned off sometimes before the alarm. Even if it had never happened before (just one week before it reached the amazing uptime of 650 hours without any reboot), I decided for a factory reset, since it's very important to me that it works as an alarm too. Yesterday, after the factory reset, it turned off while using whatsapp, all on a sudden. Tonight, it happened again, and I missed the alarm again.
Everytime I turn it on, I have the notification that Google Maps stopped working, or alternatively Google Keep. Battery is always at the same level it was before, I mean, it's still charged with at least 50% battery when this happens. Now I tried to uninstall Google Keep to see if there was something wrong with the last update, but it seems strange to me that it may be the cause.
Does anyone has any idea of what to do?
Any help would be really appreciated.
I have the SAME exact problem. Don't know why...

I tried uninstalling most of the apps, but it still happen. I've tried with brazilian soak test, but it still happens.
What should I do to understand the problem? I was thinking about going back to the original rom and try to use it in safe mode...do you think it could help?
With the brazilian lollipop soak test, I do not have any Maps or Keep stopped working once turned back on. Moreover, last times it did happen during the day, while in my hand or on the desk. Twice a day, more or less.
Please, help!
Mine has the same issue. Maps will randomly force close, or just crash back to the home screen. Usually though, Google Maps locks the phone for 30 seconds and then it reboots.
Happens twice a day. It got so bad that I've given up on my Moto X and bought an LG G3. Now I'm sitting on a boot loader unlocked Moto X xt1060 that literally will not last half a day without randomly rebooting.
It does this on any firmware, custom or stock.

I've bought a Z3 Compact too in the meantime, but I still would like to fix the Moto X since is a beautiful phone otherwise. It's a shame this thing of rebooting or randomly turning off, since I need a reliable phone... It was just two weeks ago that I reached 30 days without turning off and with any rebooting. I can't believe there's nothing I can do to fix it, it doesn't seem an hardware issue...
I'm not so sure my issue isn't a hardware problem. I've never dropped it, but its gotten wet a couple times by accident. (Rain, spilling things on my lap, etc...) I'm notoriously horrible with phones though.
Its always worked afterwords, though. And the reboot problem just recently showed up randomly.
I also had an issue making or receiving a call. I could use data, send MMS and SMS, but it would not make or receive a phone call.
Quick back story, bought ZW3 and turns out it never made any sounds. Purchased a second one while the first went back to Asus for repair. When I got it back, I confirmed that it was working fine and then I shut it down, out it back in it's original box and put in closet.
After spending the normal time getting the watch and the phone to work as I wanted, I believe everything was working as it should. Then AW 2.0 finally came, and a little more learning, no problem. But then the phone goes to Android 8.0.0 and and I'm back to frustrations, such as no longer when you select your watch in the BT list of paired devices, does it say "connecting" or does the BT icon ever show it's connected, battery life now sucks, blah blah blah.
About 4 weeks ago, ZW3 #2 half the time the sound is low in volume and distorted like a severely blown speaker. So I shut shut it down and pull out ZW #1 and it doesn't want to connect to AW. Eventually I end up defaulting it but holy shizzle sticks! It takes forever to load ll apps and finally update to AW 2.0.... like more than half a day!
Now I bring you to yesterday and ZW #1 stops making sounds altogether AGAIN and on top of all that, I can't get either watch to be seen or therefore connected to AW on the phone. I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the phone and 90% of the time it opens and sits on a white screen with the logo. Other times it goes to the "Set Up" screen and the first time I set the permissions and such, and after that it goes to the "Select your device" screen but never sees either one.
Now, if I "forget" the devices on the BT setting screen, it pops up with the request to pair and the code, but that makes no difference in AW functioning.
So, What little hidden step am I missing? I should be able to switch back and forth between to identically set up devices, or at least connect to one. So frustrated, plus now I have to figure out how to get Asus to realize that they didn't fix sh!t.
send all three in and tell them to give one good one.
You know you have to have both watches paired to phone, You cant just take second zw3 out and try to use it like it was the first one, do you? Yes? Ok.
Now if there is still problem:
1.Factory reset watch (unpair from phone from within the watch settings)
2.reset wireless connections on phone (will loose all wifi networks and BT paired devices)-but this helped me get rid of wear app misbehaving (like you wrote-forever sitting on splash screen,etc.),
3.clear data and cache of Wear app and then uninstall it
4.Restart phone.
5.Pair the watch.
