My kindle for some reason just randomly shuts off if its not plugged in. If anyone could help that would be awesome about to call amazon and send it back for a replacement.

No its a big problem. Mine does it when i have a full battery and have nothing running. But my wife's don't do it. We both have go launcher and use the same apps on a regular basis.

I have the same problem! My Kindle shuts down for no reason. When I try to power it up again, it shows the shimmering kindle logo shows, the screen flashes as though it is about to boot up but is simple switches off again.
The only way I can get it to boot is to plug it in to a power charger. When it finally boots, the battery is often 50 - 60% charged?
This often occurs when unlocking the screen.
Any suggestions as to why this happens, or what I can do to fix it would be most welcome
Cheers

Have the same problem for many time and can´t solve it. Almost brings me to stop using my tablet!
Same questions:
why this happens?
what I can do to fix it?
Cheers, Gustavo
What roms are you using? Do you have rooted devices? Did you tried monitor your apps for apps that might eat up your RAM?
If you have full battery problem might be in RAM and the shutting of is basically android mechanism for "fixing" the issue with full RAM. Look into your apps and see if you have any app that might be causing this. If there is anything suspicious try uninstalling the app and see if the reboot comes back.

This happened to my daughters Kindle as well without any customizing done to it. It was a purely stock amazon Kindle. I called customer service and they sent me a new one within 2 days. I believe that this issue is a hardware issue as my oldest daughter has no problems with hers.

I have stock rom and have the device (KFHD 7) rooted. I didn t monitor app by app RAM consumption. The only thing I do was uninstalling apps installed for me, but nothing changes. There is a simple way to check RAM consumption?
Thank you!
I'm getting the same problem.
Could I remove the root and look to get it replaced?

Probable Solution
Whenever I am playing a game I feel something in the back of the Kindle start to get hot and I think that is the battery overheating, so the battery might need replacement, and whenever I play on my brother's his kindle is not hot.
Mine is also the same and I don't know why whenever it's on charge it stay on but usually when it's on 67% and I take the charger out its shuts down automatically
try to setting the display time out to never. I just read it on amazon`s website.
My 10 inch kindle fire will randomly shut off just after I put in my pin to unlock it. And it does this on a constant basis.
Its just a piece of junk by design, unfortunately. Its either a memory defect, battery issue, or cpu/gpu issue.
I have the same problem my kindle could be 100 percent and when it get to 98 it shuts off when I turn it back on it 10 percent .but if I keep it plugged in it don't shut off
I had 1 that kept doing this, I was out of warranty so I bought a new kindle... It worked great until a few weeks ago when it does but after charging it all I got was black screen with sounds... Again because out of warranty Amazon told me it was basically dead and I’d need a new one... I went on YouTube and found a fix for this where I took the back off the kindle, Disconnected the battery, put it back in and it started working again... I wondered if it would work with my old 1 which kept shutting down... Do I charged it up overnight and then did the fix and it’s working perfectly...
can’t post the you tube link.
Type in kindle black screen... The video is only around 2 minutes long....
I hope this works for you...
Please help me! I've looked it up and haven't found anything, when I click a app or google or really anything it turns off most of the time and takes me back to my home screen then I just click my recently used apps and go back to it, but it's gotten a bit annoying and I really wanna know how to fix it. Thank you!

My Vivid does all sorts of crazy stuff. Sometimes when you flick the screen one way, it will flick 4 screen the other way. Sometimes when you press an icon on the home screen it will select the icon to the right. Some times when returning to the home screen i will get black bars along the sides of the home screen. Is anyone else seeing things like this with their vivd?
It also seems that as soon as you run an app like Pandora the phone slows a lot. No more smooth transition back to home screen.Instead I get a second of the black screen instead of that nice fade back to home. Its like the phone goes stupid as soon as you a running something. Is this phone really not that powerful?
By the way, I returned a phone for this already. This is the second phone running in the same way.
Not so cool.
You seem to be alone. Take that one back too. Inconvenient but you deserve better.

This is my 3rd phone.... i dont think they will take it back again ..
this is my first android phone from an iphone and to me it seems a little buggy, but my problems are in android and they dont happen often.
i clicked on the messaging app once and it opened my browser
2 apps randomly got deleted when i rebooted
dropbox app was there but the app wasnt, so i had to uninstall it and reinstall it
it froze on my once the second day i got it
this might be normal for android, but its frustrating coming from an iphone. the problems might be user error clicking the wrong thing, but in my book that still falls on android for making a hard os to follow for noobs. maybe now that im learning more of android im able to stop problems or prevent them but your problems sound weird seeing as its your third phone

The problems you are having are not very typical either. My main suggestion would be to check your Micro SD Card for the app thing. Sounds like the card is glitching out to me or you got a phone that has a Micro SD Card reader flaw.
Regardless though to the OP sounds like where ever you are getting the phone from got a Bad Batch of phones shipped to them. As for return even if it is your third one if you are still having issues and still withing 30 days keep returning until you get a fully functional phone I would say.

I experienced a few issue with reboots and jittery transistion the first few days I had the phone, but after that it is smooth sailing. I've been with android since I installed it on my HTC HD2 and was with WINMO before that. I can understand there would be a bit of learning curve coming from iOS. I actually flirted with the idea of getting the iPhone 4s, but settled on HTC Vivid instead, better media managment and couldn't get over the small screen size of the 4s, espcially when my proir phone was the 4.3-inch HTC Inspire.

As malickie suggested in his post, there may be a bad batch of phones delivered to stores in your area. I would return it and by it online, as I assume those may be delivered from a central warehouse or distrubtion center.
My phone acts that when when I'm using it with it plugged in to a wall charger. Strange...
i've found that my phone sketches out on me when plugged in to an AC power source. things like random screen activity and button presses because of the power supply. doesn't matter what combo of cords and adapters i use, it still wigs out on me. when it's plugged in to USB it works flawlessly. i noticed i had the same problem with my old iPhone 4 and 4s. same deal as now, works perfectly on USB charge. i think it has to do with some power circuits in older houses because it doesn't happen in some places, and in other places the intensity isn't as bad.
are these issues happening when your device is plugged in?
if not, then it is certainly a device problem because it shouldn't go bonkers at the slightest touch. regardless of how many times it happens, i would keep returning it. if they keep giving you defective equipment, then the onus is upon your cell company to provide you with working equipment. i can personally vouch for the power and functionality of the Raider (here in Canada) so i think you may have gotten the bad luck of being stuck in the middle of a bad batch of stock. try going to a different store and see if one from there makes a difference.
This may sund dumb, but any chance a certain wallpaper would be glitchy? I changed the wallpaper today to a more demanding live walpaper, and opened up every app i could find with pandora streaming and gps navi going and the phone was running very smooth still.
I wonder....... ill report back in a few days to see how it goes.
It's entirely possible you e been using one that has bugs, so if it fixed it then that may be the culprit.
See if the issue repeats without the LWP and go from there

OP, i think i was able to duplicate your problem... I used a cheap micro usb cable last night to charge my vivid, while it was plugged in it started doing crazy stuff, the touch was way off etc... i tried a different cheap micro usb charger and was able to duplicate the problem. I then tried the OEM charger as well as a motorola micro usb charger and had no problems. So i would check the charger you are using..
interesting.. i will be keeping a better eye on when i have problems. Allthough with this new wallpapers once in a while its not super duper smooth going back to homescreen, i have not seen any of these crazier glitches in the past 24 hours...
Yes
See my separate thread on the HTC Sense and Location Service problems.
Patience is wearing thin, and I'm getting ready to return it before the 30 return period expires.
Mine has done it twice while I've been trying to unlock the screen with the power button on top. I press it and nothing, then press again, and again, then the phone would reboot. I also sent the logs to HTC.

I've had similar results under different charging circumstances as well.
In two of my cars I have power inverters that plug into the cigarette lighter sockets. With both of my OEM HTC chargers, as well as two different Samsung chargers, the phone goes haywire. Touch is sometimes completely off - if it even registers - and there's noticeable lag. However, the same chargers plugged into any other normal household outlet do not seem to affect the phone at all. What I took particular note of was that how when the engine is running, the phone acts up. But when it's off and the inverter is pulling straight from the battery, all is well.. perhaps the phone does not like running off of alternating current, although the current a car's alternator produces is still rectified into DC. Weird.
Me too

Man, I thought I was the only one. It's kinda annoying.
My vivid has been screwing up bad all day. I was in the middle of trying to perma-root when it rebooted itself... Loaded up to the ATT beginning message and instantly shot to black screen, buttons didn't work. I pulled out the battery and booted it up again and when it got to the att screen a message came up saying it couldn't load the OS. I pulled the battery and the sim out and let it sit for about 10 mins. Booted it up for the third time and finally it loaded the home page. But now the status bar has been failing and my data drops in and out all the time. I think I might have to install a new OS

Sorry I didn't know what it was called, I'm extremely green on HTC lol. As far as the phone goes it had a random reboot during the temp root loading and wouldn't turn on.
You should feel glad though cause I was gonna call it iOS at first =p

My first attempts at rooting gave me the same status bar error. Hold off on rooting for a few and restart the phone a couple of times, letting it boot completely and then properly using the restart option in the power menu. Then try again.. it took me seven tries before the status bar errors and glitchiness went away, and it finally rooted.
Hi guys. My SGN is permanently freezing while booting. Suddenly the red lines appear and phone is stucked. It stucks on boot logo, or boot animation, or after successfull boot into system. It looks like this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61718936/IMAG0003.jpg
Phone becomes quite hot on the back near camera.
I bought phone with stock 2.3.6. It was running for about 2 hours and i made OTA update to 4.0.4. It started to reboot itself while i was using it. So thought, i might use custom ROM to get rid of this freezes and reboots. But no change. Even on 4.2.1. I reverted back to 2.3.6. I noticed, that these red lines changes and moves (or even whole screen becomes red) while i'm twisting or pressing phone on various places. So i think, there is cold solder joint somewhere on motherboard. Maybe on graphic chip, because i didn't notice this problem while in recovery or download mode.
Can anybody help me with this problem, or point me on right place to look at on motherboard? Thanks in advance.
Seems to be defective device. Check with service center.

If you're able to, run this app to check for errors, I take it you have root. If it crashes mid scan, you've got problems with your emmc.

I hope you will find a solution for your problem.
But I have to admit I had to smile ("grinsen" in German is a much better word for it) when I saw your title:
Freezing even when >30°C
i'm not able to run device anymore but i already tried this app for checking emmc and this is the one with that bug. But it doesn't matter, because i was flashing only safe kernels, and i don't think this emmc is problem. I think the culprit is graphic chip, or CPU, or CfRF (Chip for Random Freezes)
I was not able to find any similar problem. Tomorrow, i will try to put device into download mode, flash any custom safe kernel with CWM, leave device in this recovery, and see if it freezes again. If yes, the only option is to get device warmer for a few degrees (300-350°C with my heat station haha ) and i will see if there was any cold solder joint. If not, device will be dead anyway so i have nothing to lose

guys i've made a small progress. I put a pressure on back side of the phone near camera, and i turned the phone on. It successfully booted to system. When i stopped pushing phones back, red lines appeared immediately and phone freezed. When i start to twist phone in hands, lines were getting bigger or smaller. When i pressed the back cover again, lines disappear (but phone was still frozen).
So now my task is, to find out, which chip is badly soldered.

You guys started having strange issues with ur notes. Maybe its something like a self destruct programmed on your phones so that after a year or two people will switch their phones. Besides the bigger the phones are getting the more issues they are having.
A phone should be like a device that shouod work flawless, in case of emergency one is needing to make a call and found that the phone freezed.
Sometimes i blame everything to android. Despite years of open development. Its yet not stabilizing, i guess because of it being open source vendors are putting crap in it making it more vulnerable to issues.
I dont rely on android rather i use a cheap phone for calls and text or iphone. Its just good for internet, ebooks, movies, music and camera.

Try pulling out the battery and then let the phone dry like a pair of wet socks. Clean the contacts and fit any loose thing that there may be.
Check your cable, if is loose or not, this way you could find if there were any unwanted sparks applied on the device.
Notice how it gets hot when is plugged in and you're using it? the battery reaches quickly 55 degrees which is not optimum, wait to cool to below this temperature.
My condolences in this sad event. Take care.
Hi Guys,
I have a serious problem with my Inc S. Lately, after using a few apps (mainly on the bus) the phone will go to the lock screen. A this point when the power button to wake the phone, it will just hang. The backlights will still be on but the phone is unresponsive. I have pull the battery out for 10-15 mins before it will restart. This issue happens at least 2-3 times a day. I can see no reason why this would happen. I have tried a factory reset but nothing works. Any help to resolve would be greatly appreciated.

Telling us your issue is fine. However, we need more information such as your bootloader status as well as what ROM you are currently on (if you are of course)
I have unlocked the bootloader, cwm recovery, but still running stock Rom. Haven't flashed a new Rom as yet. The phone seems to get quite hot, too. I think overheating may be the problem as it won't turn on for 15 - 30 mins after battery has been pulled out, which suggests the phone would need that time to cool? Dunno, just a thought.

Overheating is most likely your culprit. But its pretty difficult to pull the phone to about 50 degrees you really should watch whats running in your background and what applications you are running. Overheating may damage your phone and I assume you probably won't want that.
Would flashing a new Rom help? Never done it before.

Ok, so when the screen blacks out, I can still receive sms. I have turned the screen time out to "never" (as it seems to only lock up when it goes to sleep mode), but it still blacks out after say 1/2 hour and screen becomes unresponsive. Have to pull battery out for a while. Is this a hardware issue rather than a software issue?
This still an ongoing issue, and driving me nuts. When ever the phone goes to the lock screen or after a phonecall, it wont come back on. The touch still works (can play music, etc by touching screen from memory) but the screen wont show anything. Have flashed cm7.2, done wipes, etc with no luck. Any help?

Ok now that is not an overheating issue. That's probably a ROM issue or a kernel issue. I would suggest switching ROMs, maybe CyanVivoX or CyanVivo10.1 if AOSP is your thing. If not then maybe SVHD, Nik Project X Rebirth, or ViperVivo for Sense 4.1 (or Blackout or ARHD if you want Sense 3.6). Happy flashing
After a month of stuffing around and flashing my phone with different tons, I am still having the same problem. The only solution I have found is to install a wakelock app from the playstore, which isn't ideal as the screen stays on, drains battery and everything gets activated when the phone is in my pocket (mates are sick of getting phantom calls from me). The phone is no longer in warranty so I don't wanna take it to a tech.... There has to be a solution. Any further help woyl be greatly appreciated.

Every so often my Kindle Fire 7 hd will shut off. Not reboot. It will completely turn itself off. It is very random. Sometimes it works for a while and the boom it happens. Doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing at the time. Sometimes it is when I unlock the screen...sometimes when the screen rotates...other times when I'm opening an app, or using an app.
There were times that after it would shut off I would turn it back on and it would almost be finished started up, but then turn itself off. I would have to plug it in in order for it to completely boot up.
One thing I've noticed is I don't seem to have any issues when the unit is plugged in. Could be just a coincidence though. The battery is 50%+ when this happens.
It started this about a week ago or so. At that point I had used KFFirstAide to put 7.2.3 on and was running Nova as my launcher. I thought it might be a ROM issue so I installed TWRP and put Kinology on it. Well, it is still happening.
So, it seems like I might have to make a call to Amazon (although I bought it Oct. 2012, so I doubt it is under warranty). I assume I will need to get the whole thing back to stock...unless someone here has a different suggestion).
Thanks for any insights/help you might be able to provide!

I have a similar issue where my Kindle now wants to shut down as I open the case????? This is a new problem and I've also noticed that the battery life is getting worse. Anyone else having these problems and got any ideas on how to fix?

@galearned is dealing with a similar issue regarding a KFHD7. I think the three of you should get together to try and find a common denominator.

Galearned here: I am running CM10.1 on my KFHD7 and do not have any shut down issues as far as I know but, regarding battery life, the unit is pretty bad compared to the KFHD8 also running cm10.1.
I traveled to Cleveland this last weekend and took my KFHD8 with me.
I used the KFHD8 the entire trip on the plane (several hours of fooling around and shopping on Ebay (free ebay on the plane).
I also used the KFHD8 both Saturday and Sunday extensively and Sunday evening, I checked the battery and it was down to 20%.
Until then, I did not plug in to any power supply.
I know for sure the KFHD7 would never had gotten that far.
One thing I have not checked is how quickly the battery drains on both units while doing the same tasks.
Most of the comparisons including the one I posted, indicate that while asleep, the KFHD continues to drain loosing several points over night.
If you leave the KFHD7 asleep for several days, the battery will be down to the 20% level or lower.
The KFHD8 will not loose more than a single point after several days setting asleep.

Update : CM 10.1 Deepsleep release 07/26/2013
Loaded this 07/26/2013 version last night on KFHD7 and configured wifi to be off while asleep as usual.
Tablet was fully charged at 11M and at 7AM still showed battery at %100%.
Very Very nice. Looks like Hashcode came through again............
So, you're saying the shutdown issue ceased after installing CM?
I have the same problem, running CM 10.1
I just flashed CM 10.1 a few days ago and just started to have these random shut offs... usually when the battery is around 60%. I thought it was the ROM, but seeing you guys have the same problem, I´m thinking there is something else involved. I never had those shut offs on stock.
Well, exactly same problem with no apparent solution. I think the problem started when upgraded to 7.3.1. After that I disabled OTA, tried to uninstall all applications added by me, disabled all notifications, etc.. but the problem is not solved

Are you on Stock OS? If so, have you changed the Kindle's DPI? When I was on stock, I changed my DPI to 213 (same as Nexus 7) and started having random rebooting issues. Changing the DPI back to default (240) fixed the problem.
Just my two cents
Ph0enix_216;47286524 you on Stock OS? If so said:
Thank you for your post. I m on stock OS, but I dont know how to change DPI!!

If you don't know, then I'm guessing that you never changed it, which means that it's probably not the problem. However, if you want to check, download ES File explorer from the Play Store, and navigate to "/system." There should be a file there called "build.prop." Open it, and look for this line (the value should be set at 240).
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240

Thank you! I did what you said but, exactly as you anticipated, it was properly configured.
But the problem persists and I can not find any solution anywhere!

You could reflash the entire system image. Download Kindle Fire First Aide (it's in the "General" section of this subforum) and follow the steps there. Once it's set up, select the option 3 (assuming that you have a KFHD), which will let you choose to restore to either the 7.2.3 or 7.2.1 OS. It says "fastboot," but I don't think you need a fastboot cable for it.
OR, if you have TWRP enabled, you can go here and download Amazon OS 7.4.6, but comes pre-rooted and has OTA updates disabled. Put this on your SD card, reboot into recovery, and wipe your current ROM and install this.

I already did the first option you mention, but did not solve the problem.
I will try with the second option. I do not know if I am able to make it!!
And yes, I have KFHD (and I make a factory cable).
Thanks again!

If you tried the first option, and you're still experiencing the problem, then it might be something you're doing, such as installing a specific app or mod or something.

Yes, I think that too! In last month I uninstall all my apps one by one but I do not find the problem either!!
Did you think to have OTA disabled can cause the problem?
I hope tomorrow read To learn about TWRP and try with that.

OTA shouldn't be the cause. Lots of people have had OTA disabled without any problems. Honestly, I have no clue what the problem is

Well, the problem the problem has worsened which led me to decide install TWRP.
I read about TWRP and second bootloader and try three times with Hashcode´s method but I cant do it. I´m very frustrated for my inability!!!
Thanks anyway for your help.
Have any of you tried calibrating your battery?

I tried to install TWRP but after three attempts I could not do it and bricked my KF. So I install everything new with KFFA. The bad news is that the problem continued. I'm starting to believe it's a battery problem and not a problem of the apps. Yesterday its worked all day (with tunein radio) without problem and just spent 20% of battery. But today when I wanted to put to work again made the same problem.
How can I calibrating the battery as you suggest? I think the problem is for this side.
Okay, I'll try to keep this short. I had a Motorola Atrix HD for a while and one day I tried to flash CM10 on it. (I didn't really know what I was doing to be honest.) I rooted it, and while trying to unlock the bootloader something went wrong. Also the phone was due for an update. So one day the phone automatically shut itself down (I assumed to install the update) But then it didn't completely shut down, it showed the screen shown in the image below.
(I think that's how the story went, it happened a long time ago I don't remember it much.) I can hold the power button and turn the phone on. It stays on for about a minute, then shuts itself down and shows that screen again. Is there anyway to stop this? I don't use the phone anymore so it's not a big deal, but it would be nice to have. Any suggestions helps, thanks. Also I'm new to XDA and I don't really know how stuff works around here. I apologize if I did something wrong.
