No idea... I bought my phone at the earlier earlier batch, where it is pack in bubblewrap... LOL!
Anyway, at 2.2.2, still same problem. Doesn't want to get custom rom, as after my exam, i'm going down to LG and get some servicing or shyt out from them...
The problem exist especially when you are charging. It occur also when you put your phone to sleep while running on GPS. Very fedup with it.
It is categorized in Freeze and Reboot Problem
It's the first stage of that problem, if you continue using it, you will suffer the reboot problem

solution to some bsod models. Tested, working!
Many p990 bsod models have faulty soldering of some sort. A solution which have worked for many is to simply plug in your charger. When your phone goes to sleep and doesnt wake up when you hit the power button, just leave it be for 12+ hours. Place your phone on something soft as well, like your bed. This will heat up the device and fix the faulty soldering. If it does not work, try longer period of charging. Good luck. (I will take no responsibility if this does not work as planned)
This was tried on a bsod model which went to unresponsive sleep every 5-30 minutes. After this procedure it was faultless

I've had my LG for quite some time now and I still trying to figure it out. So, if you're patient enough, please, just bare with me for a while as I explain what I've tried so far what what were the results.
A lot of people complains about this phone... unstable, crashes, reboots, BSOD, etc...
The first problem I had, came with the stock ROM... after a while the Wi-Fi just stopped working and it would display "Error..." as a message. The only solution was to reboot. 3 or 4 days after I had bought it, this was already killing me... so I started trying other ROMs but all seemed to suffer from some sort of problem except for one (see phone info below), which I've been running since June and I find it impeccably stable I can basically keep my phone running for as long as I want, as long as the battery doesn't run out (obviously), which brings me to a second point... battery drain!!
The battery drain was the only problem I didn't manage to find a solution for... and after a certain while, even though my phone was stable, having to charge my phone every single day was becoming very annoying.
Since I live in a different country than my GSM operator, it doesn't come as a news flash that network look-up has a big impact on the battery life, specially because I live close enough to the border to be able to keep the signal but in some parts of my house the signal is lost forcing the phone to search for a new network, which sometimes it finds (roaming) and sometimes it comes back to the original network and so on... However, what I find, unarguably, to have the biggest impact on the battery is having the Wi-fi enabled when there's no available network, it's just huge, it can suck up the battery in a few hours...
So, I decided to try some of those power management apps such as Locale, Green Power and some other, in order to minimize these problems, but curiously, they all caused the same problem... BSOD within a matter of minutes. I installed the app, configured it, waited for the phone to go into sleep and puff... it was gone. The only way out of it was removing the battery. I uninstalled the app, and the phone was stable again... this happened with every single app of the kind, that I have tried.
At the moment my phone is as stable as it gets but if I don't pay it enough attention, the battery dies in a blink of an eye.

No-one appears to have had this issue on this phone yet, and not for this exact reason, which makes me think it's only a small error somewhere. (I hope)
Ever since I got it about a month ago, even before I rooted it or did anything to it, it would randomly reboot with no particular pattern. I've since discovered it's specifically caused by the wifi being left on, and the phone left locked for more than about 15 minutes, regardless of whether any apps are open at all. All in all it only happens when wifi is on, and it's not charging or being used. When being used it never happens, and when it's plugged into USB or the wall charger it never happens, and never when just network data is on, no wifi. And I can leave it with both wifi and data off and it will happily standby for it's whole battery life with no issues.
What is the wifi doing when I leave it locked? does anyone know specifically why it causes this?
Anyone? I use wifi way way more than my data, i want to be able to put it down for 10 minutes!

Try updating the firmware. This might help...
Sent via XDA Premium
There may be a corrupted apk somewhere that would be active only when Wi-Fi is on (note that there are some services that are still running in the background even if you think they are none , they are not that easy to find and will most likely restart if you kill them , but it's ok because they need to run) . Reflashing the stock firmware with Odin should do the trick.
Also I presume you haven't overclocked it . If you did , lower down the max frequency a little .
FInally , are there any heating issuses when this happens ?
i've had the same issue with the mini 1. it was gone after i have flashed the stock firmware on it.
my mini 2 has no reboot problems (yet).
Try setting wifi sleep policy to "never" of you have at option in settings>wifi>advanced.
Alternatively, it could be called keep wifi on during sleep, turn it to "always"

Yes! this fixed it! thankyou so much man, I hadn't ever discovered that there was an advanced section to the wifi, finally I can leave my phone unattended without worrying about it rebooting!
I have selected to never keep WiFi on during sleep yet now the tablet continues to run the WiFi as you can see in the pictures. This has forced me to use airplane mode when I am on the go because otherwise the tablet just keeps WiFi on and burns the battery extremely quick. This has been a problem since I updated to 4.2.1. I am not rooted completely stock. A solution would be great because this sucks right now. I have tried clearing the cache in recovery but that didn't solve the problem.
I'm running the latest Paranoidandroid ROM and thought that was the problem. I can't yet post to that developer forum so I was just waiting for the next beta.
I guess it's a problem with 4.2.1 then.

If you don't find a solution you may want to try DataEasyPro from the market. It kills both 3g and wifi as soon as the screen is off and then runs a user defined schedule to turn on 3g or wifi every now and the for a few seconds to keep you upto date with your social world. Works great. There is even a widget so you can turn off the schedule when you are downloading or updating from the play store.

I think it is a 4.2.1 problem. Its hard to say how wide spread it is though because I have only seen a handful of posts about this issue though. To me, this issue is unacceptable. I should not have to enable/disable airplane mode to conserve battery. Especially when the previous version of android prior to the 4.2.1 update handled WiFi sleep settings without a problem. Hopefully a fix will be here soon. My tablet used to have superb battery life without me constantly monitoring it. Now I feel like I have to keep double checking that I remember to use airplane mode so that I don't go to use the tablet and find a nearly depleted battery.

I recommend automate it, I have a couple of rules set to turn WiFi of with the screen (with a 5min delay), then turn Wi-Fi back on when the screen turns on. There's plenty of other settings and rules to play with as well.

It's not google maps itself, it's the android location service. It's always collecting data even if your phone or tabscreen isn't on. This is pretty anoying since google only let you choose between agreeing to run the service in the background or not using it at all. Stupid! How about collecting data only when the device is in use?
Same here. There is a bug report on Google about it.

I highly recommend using an app called Better Battery Stats. You can find the free version here on XDA. It'll tell you if there is an app causing a wakelock. I used it to troubleshoot my Rezound and I'm getting a solid 4-5 hours of screen on time with the extended battery on that because it helped me lock down the apps that were killing my battery.

I was having the wifi on issue as well. Just bought my N7, stock 4.2.1 and not rooted. I followed the tip in point four of this post, which details a simple set up using Tasker, where the unit turns the wifi on and off after the screen turns on or off respectively. The reason for the 10 second delay as is detailed in the link, is to allow for the turning on of your N7 to check the time or other reasons, and then quickly turn it off without the wifi on task being activated.
the screenshot below shows my wifi being stuck on while in sleep mode, even with it set to be never on during sleep in the settings, and the change in behavior once the 2 Tasker profiles we set up.
Cheers
Those of you having issues, have you tried the "only when plugged in" setting? Not sure if it would really matter but that's what I use and mine turns on and off just fine.

Testing that now. Turned off Tasker, and set wifi to the "only when plugged in" setting. It's only been about 30 minutes, but so far it looks like it's behaving the same as before, as in keeping wifi on while in sleep. I'll Let it sleep for a few hours and see what the chart shows.
Cheers
EDIT: So I let my N7 sit for about an hour after switching the above mentioned settings, and you can see in the screenshot below that the wifi is staying on while the unit is not awake. I've set my Tasker profiles to control the wifi once again.
I know it may be fixed by a factory reset, but frankly I'm more than happy with the way Tasker handles the issue.
Cheers
so 6 months later, I am still getting this problem. However it seems only to be with the last update. The tasker method seems to be working well though.

Maybe I just found another possible cause for this long lasting problem. Sorry for bothering this old thread again.
I reactivate old but gold Samsungs with 4G by flashing the most recent stable cfw available. So I did with some SGS3 LTE and I was wondering, why every phone had problems with it. One just curiously lost EFS wich led to continously booting (could be fixed by restore), one had a sudden problem with the powerbutton (could be fixed by soldering a new switch), one just didn't like the SoC-standby (setting kernel to min. 800MHz fixed that) and finally today I found the last one to have a problem with the screen. When the screen blacks out due to energysavings primarly the system loses the connection to the digitizer wich is not the main issue. But 30 seconds after the display shuts off, the standby comes in not so handy and the screen gets a short circuit wich leds to a reboot. So I tried to exchange with a shattered display with broken touch and, oh wonder, everything is working fine. I then connected the suspected display to another mainboard and guess what? Yes, it rebooted exactly 30 secs after the screen blacked out.
Is anyone here still on this device and can replicate my sightings? I'd love to use /e/ on all of these cute little thingies and maybe someone else could do this also by just replacing the display?
...a few facts to add: I tried "keep display active during charging" (development options) over night connected to a powerbank and it stayed on. Just locking the phone made it go nuts and reboot 30 secs after...
So, just this last week after having my new Sony Xperia TL for a month I started experiencing the sleep of death issues, I haven't tried to do the restore via PC companion yet, if it does it again tonight I will. (I'll probably want to do that before updating to JellyBean anyways).
So far it's only happened at night, when on the charger for four+ hours, it's been hit and miss, happened two nights in a row, then worked two nights in a row, then locked up again last night.
The locked state; the screen is off doesn't respond to lock button, the notification light is blinking. I have to reboot it with the Volume Up + power button.
I thought I had fixed it by removing the PSM store (Installed that shortly before this fun started)..
Any other tips?
here's some links:
Xperia V sleep of death
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/60422?start=0&tstart=0
So, on Saturday (when I posted this) I disabled the ATT wifi hotspot software, and also in the apps section of developer options;
Checked "don't keep activities"
I'm not sure if I've solved the problem but the last two nights it hasn't locked up and yesterday the battery life was the best I've ever had.
I have only experienced this with wifi on. So long as wifi is off, it's not had a SoD issue. Irritating.
Seems legit

I have had the TL for about a week now and have had this sleep of death happen twice. First time it happened i was charging it during the day with a little bit of use here and there. The second time it happened was overnight while i was sleeping. I was depending on the phone's alarm to wake me up, it never did. Woke up an hour later on my own and luckily wasn't late to work. I read somewhere else that killing active apps before putting it on the charger helps. It's been two night using this theory and so far so good. I am not rooted or unlocked. 1) Does anyone know if this is a hardware or software issue? 2) Should I return it for another device? I have a few more days to return it if need be. 3) Does the update to Jelly Bean bring a fix? Rumor has it March 12th is when the TL gets JB.
Oh and I have wifi on when I'm home.
No jellybean doesn't fix it. I'm running rooted jellybean (xperiment 2.0).
Friday night while charging it did the sod. I didn't change anything and its been fine the last four nights. I have no idea what causes it. I thought it was the line in build.prop, but not anymore.

Turned it off last night and the phone didn't SOD. The interesting thing is the night before I checked my phone about an hour before my alarm was supposed to go off and it woke up fine.
Any idea if it is wifi, why? Is there a build.prop tweak we can do to sort this out?
I have been keeping my wifi on for the last few days, and so far no more SOD. Only thing I have been doing is clearing any active apps before going to bed. As long as this keeps working, I'm good with it. Think it's been about 5 days so far. Will post if anything changes.

If clearing active apps keeps it from locking up, one of the apps has to be the problem. Wonder if it'd be worth posting an app list?

So in my drunken state last night I forgot to clear my apps before passing out. I did not get a SOD. I probably got lucky. I also want to throw out there that the first week of ownership, I kept everything stock and only added my email apps since I heard jelly bean was coming out. I always do a factory reset after a big change in OS, so I didn't want to have to set up all my screens again. Anyway, I hot my SOD's during that time. So I think the issue is bigger than an app related one. Maybe the Jelly Bean update fixed it.

Seems like the consensus on the net is leaning towards Wifi setting "don't keep activities" for solving this. Just picked up my V last week and promptly had 3 SoD's after changing the wifi setting to "only if connected". Yesterday switched back after some searching and so far no issues. We'll se how it goes coming week.
BTW, my phone came with latest 4.1.2 and still has.
Since I've installed that system cleaner app, the phone hasn't locked up overnight.
I have wifi set to location mode, which seems to turn wifi off when the screen is off.
So, it's either a file problem, or a wifi problem.
Up time; 83 hours, xperiment 2.3.
I'd be curious if anyone with sod, flashed cm10.1 and still experienced them.

My guess is the latest Sony firmware has solved this problem. I haven't had any strange settings since anything above .141 and have not had any SOD's.
