it's been through a few rom's...
it just shuts off in the middle of use, sometimes rather quickly (30 seconds), sometimes I can get a good set of minutes out of it.
Twice it went into some sort of alarm mode (although not recently).
i'm wondering if anyone is familiar with any type of thermal shutdown's with these and/or if it's possible the proc could have been damaged.
i'm not sure how to test it, I guess I could go through the hassle of putting the original b&n fw on, and seeing if it still shuts down.

That's what I would do. Sounds like hardware to me. If stock messes up, time for warranty.

I had the same problem. My HD+ would get very hot near the bottom left corner (when the screen is facing me), mostly on the back, especially while charging. It would warm up fast for me but it would also reboot itself while idle (or when it wasn't too warm) since I think the excessive warming damaged something. Apparently, some Nooks have an overheating problem and this happened before I installed any ROM. Some of the logs I looked at said that my CPU was getting too hot and my memory was giving errors. I looked at the /proc/last_kmsg file for that and you can do the same if you're comfortable with looking at system logs.
If any of that sounds like your problem, your HD likely needs to be replaced since it is a hardware problem. Go back to the stock ROM and recovery anyway and try using it. If it's fine after a few days, you likely don't have a hardware problem. Otherwise, and especially if it gets hot with charging, you can take it to a B&N store. I did that and the only way I was able to get it replaced was by having them charge my Nook and having them feel the excessive heat coming from it. Otherwise, you can probably still go to the store, but you'll have a harder time proving that your HD reboots unless it does it every few minutes consistently (they played with mine for 3 minutes when mine would reboot every 1-2 hours).
Good luck.

I've been having the same problem with my HD+, since using CM/Liquid roms.
It shuts down with battery 0-1%, upon charging it jumps right back to 90%, .
Upon disconnecting charging cable somestimes, it shuts off almost instantaneously.
So what do you conclude from issue solved using stock?

Hey, guys, I tried dong some research but I can't find anyone with a similar problem.
I've got a T-Mobile (USA) G1 and I've got Cyanogen's Eclair ROM flashed on it. Prior to flashing Cyanogen's ROM, I was using OpenEclair. OpenEclair was working [relatively] well until my phone randomly started shutting off. I thought it was a battery calibration problem, so I recalibrated my battery by letting it die completely and then charging it fully, but that didn't work. I flashed Cyanogen's Eclair and hoped that my problem would be fixed, but the problem still persists.
I can't really isolate the problem. My phone can shut off in the middle of a call, in the middle of writing a txt message, or without me even using it while it's in my pocket. It shuts off regardless of the battery level (I've seen it shut off at like 97%). This wouldn't be THAT bad except the phone refuses to turn on right after it shuts off. When I press the power button, the phone will show the G1 logo for a few seconds and then shut off again as if it was dead. Sometimes if I press the power button, the phone won't turn on and I'll see the LED flash red which gives me the idea that the phone "thinks" it's dead. In order for me to turn the phone back on, I need to plug in the charger. This is becoming extremely annoying.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? I would try wiping/re-flashing but I don't wanna lose all my data :/
Thanks,
Gerard
I'm having the same exact problem ever since installing cyanogen 5.0.7 Test 1... so im not sure whats going on but i went to T-Mobile today... and they said my battery is warped or somethin not to tech savy... yet it was working fine like totally so... hmmm anyone know anything?
yea this has happened to me too! It shuts off randomly then i cant turn it back on until like 30 minutes later without touching it. I noticed that it happened after i flashed a open eclair rom that wouldnt start but i did flash it correctly. I have wiped battery stats and dalvik cache. Well i hope we can get some answers
I had the same problem I have tried just about every rom out there so dont remember when it started but i ordered a new battery off ebay for 10 bucks and havent had a problem since

So you think it's a hardware problem? I find it kinda hard to believe that all of us coincidentally got this problem after installing Ecalir ROMs...unless Eclair destroys our battery somehow?
:/
yeah same here but mine started with Amon Ra 1.2.3 and the blue haze rom. I updated my recovery to the latest 1.6.2 I think and switched to htcclay's superfast and the danger spl slso tmobile is comping me a new battery just to be safe, although switching rom's seem's to have helped my battery life a little. hope this helps someone.
Have you tried replacing the battery?

Nah, I'm part lazy and part unconvinced that it's a hardware issue. I mean if the phone reads that the battery is like 95% charged, why would it just give out randomly? I don't know much about hardware though, so maybe I'm wrong...
I want T-Mobile to get a new Android phone that's like incredible I want a new phone already damnit!!
im just gonna buy a battery on ebay or something because my battery does look kinda swollen so it could possibly be the battery. Gonna give it a try though

You think you could update us when you find out whether it changes anything or not? :/
This phone gets me really frustrated because first it started shutting off and now i have a unresponsive lock screen! I push all the buttons and the screen is black like if its turned off. I have to do a battery pull but theres a risk of the phone not turning back on and shutting off on the g1 screen. I was planning to buy the battery today but i think im just going to use a different phone for now. I hope someone can really resolve this problem. Cant wait for the samsung galaxy s
For what it's worth, I started having the same issue last week with my G1. I think it's entirely coincidental that you switched to the CM 2.1 Test branch and your phone started getting screwy.
I looked at my battery as the first suspect, and what did I find when I pulled it out of the case? A badly swolen battery. By the end of the week, the swelling had gotten so bad that it was visibly bulging the plastic backing on my G1.
I took it to 3 separate T-Mobile stores looking for a replacement battery. The first two were of no luck, but the 3rd finally had one in stock. The CSR saw my battery and almost freaked out. She says I was lucky that it didn't pop because it was ready to at just about any moment.
Long story short, since replacing my battery, I have had ZERO issues, and my battery life has once again been phenomenal (well, for the G1).
I just checked my battery and I think it's possible that it's swollen. On the side where it says "htc Innovation," is it supposed to be perfectly flat? There's like a rectangle that's slightly raised above the rest of surface. I'm a little hesitant to buy a $50 battery if that's the way the battery is supposed to be.
Thanks,
Gerard
Spontaneous power off - sunspots?
Yes, this happened to me fairly frequently about 3 months ago. Now it happens (maybe) once a week.
In my experience, it isn't a Cyanogen issue - it would spontaneous die when I used Enomther's official rom, SuperD (one of the previous versions), and some others. That made me think it was hardware, but ... I haven't changed hardware, and still drop the G1 into my pocket like usual.
So if it isn't ROM software and it isn't hardware, what is it - sunspots?

It should be perfectly flat. A new, good battery does not have the bulging rectangle in the middle you are talking about. Mine did the same thing. In fact, both sides were swelling. The battery would no longer sit flush in the back. My theory was simply that some sort of movement was causing it to lose contact and shutting off the phone.
If you take the battery out and lay it flat the table, you shouldn't be able to rock it by pressing an edge. If you can, your battery is dying.
I just bought a battery yesterday on amazon for 15$ You should check it out. Hope this battery resolves my problem. I also fixed my lock screen issue. I had set cpu to 120 instead of 128 so it unresponsive.
I have the same problem, and indeed when i now look at it my battery seems a bit swollen. I ordered a replacement battery on dealextreme. They have a few different battery replacements for the G1 for cheap (and lots of other things, regular customer) with free shipping. So i hope that will fix my problem .
I found this thread because I've been having random shutoffs as if the battery were pulled (black screen immediately, no "Shutting Down" prompt first), and it would only do this when NOT charging. This started happening when I first ran Firerat's all-in-one script but I think it was coincidental. So anyways, I found this thread after wanting to pull my hair out because of the random shutoffs, and sure enough, I pulled my battery and it's a bit puffed out. Time for a new battery.
My question is : does anyone think this is a result of the extra strain placed on the battery / heat generated from being overclocked? Once I get a new battery, I'd like to prevent it from happening in the future.
definately a battery problem. had the same thing on my g1. got into a whole big argument about how it WAS NOT PHONE in the cyanogen6 thread. guess what....it was my phone.
its not the rom. its your phone. seriously.
also, just to point out, most of us here got our phones relatively early in its release, and lot of people are having this problem now apparently. battery has life of 2yrs by my calculations.
if you can mimic a reboot with the phone plugged into usb or wall charger...it may be rom. but if you phone DOES NOT DIE while PLUGGED IN...ITS YOUR BATTERY.
Had the same problem with my 2008 bought g1, swollen battery and random shutdowns. Just inserted an new bought battery. Hope it fixes the problem.
Ok, I can't put my finger on to the reason my phone is getting hot - no other temp threads I could find covered it.
It's 6 months old and it just started happening.
Build: FRG83 v 2.2.1
Power off, place in cradle - charges fine - stays cool.
Applied power (while in cradle) - stayed cool - battery was 100% already - woke up this morning after 6 hours and it was hot.
Pulled battery out, let sit until cool. Put in and powered - now is running cool.
Yesterday I picked it up and for no reason (that I could tell), it was hot and chewing through the battery.
Uninstalled all recently installed apps (don't have much on it right now)
I don't use exchange for mail (just gmail).
Has anyone else seen this odd behavior. There has to be some rhyme or reason to this. I'll keep uninstalling apps, but I'm not seeing anything running that is unusual...
Thx for any help

Contacting HTC for a new device wouldn't be a terrible idea, since it seems that everything is darn near stock and not your fault.
I did think of that, but am having trouble believing that it is a hardware problem...
Kinda my fall back plan...
Did you try to run something like SystemPanel and see if there's any app that has your Nexus running at 100% speed all the time?
Ahh, nice app - never saw that...
I'll monitor it now - it started getting hot again then it cooled off. Said it was 32C - but nothing out of the ordinary was running... (Except amazon mp3 - not sure why it is out there, I wish I could make that go away)...
You can't make Amazon stop, you have to uninstall it (which is possible if you're rooted).
See what the frequency is - if it's idling around 300 MHz, you're ok.
Yeah, I know about the amazon thing...
Weird - started talking on the phone and it got hot (and sucked serious power) - ended call and now it's cool again.
Every time I go and look at CPU use it's low (starts high as I switch task but then drops to almost nothing which I would expect)
It might be a crappy battery.
I'm trying to figure out why the CPU would get hot if the battery is bad... Temp is definitely coming from the case below the battery in the trackball area...
I have a lot of experience with LiPo's - usually takes much higher A rates to get them to heat up - we aren't even draining them at .5C.
Now, this battery did come from the wife's N1 - but this problem did not coincide with the swap...
Only time I feel the area around the trackball heating up (the CPU) is when I'm doing something intensive, and not that often. Did System Panel show anything was using CPU? You could also watch top in a term or via adb, and watch for network traffic.
You have a rogue app or bad hardware. Have you tried doing a factory reset and seeing if it also happens? Are you using a stock ROM? You mention the ROM in the OP but there are a lot of custom ROMs that are of that build.
This is a stock 2.2.1 on unmodified hardware.
I swapped batteries back and still get the same thing.
I was obviously thinking rogue app, but I don't see anything running that is 'bad'... Also it is hard to tell from the aforementioned app what the CPU is really doing when it's going crazy, as the CPU spikes when switching to the app and then settles back down to 200-300 MHz...
The other weird thing is that it seems to get really warm when charging off the PC now (didn't look close at system details at that point - was the other day)... Not even having the SD card mounted...
Will see what top shows next time I have it plugged in.
No, didn't do a factory reset yet. Was hoping to find the culprit first, but it's not looking good...
Anyone else having extreme battery drain issues?
Just started out of nowhere. I woke up, checked my phone as usual.. it was cool when I picked it up, but after 5 minutes on it, it started getting hot.
Battery is draining 20-30 in 15 minutes.. I've wiped the phone and installed a fresh ROM, both AOSP, and Sense-based. If I take it off the charger it will drain and die. I've had this happen to a previous HTC One.
Does anyone have any ideas?
It doesn't make much sense to me.. if I wipe the phone, and all it has is a bootloader and recovery, what could the problem be? I wipe the phone and turn it off, and it still gets hotter and hotter. I'm barely keeping it alive on the charger.. I can manage flashing a ROM, et.c. but if I leave anywhere with my phone and use it.. it will be dead in an hour I feel. Then it will be a brick.
Anyone?
I've tried the PWR Volume +/- too..

Batterycell problem, assuming you've always used the original charger that came with the phone?
Anyways it sounds like a warranty issue. I would return the software to stock and deliver it back saying it's always been like this. You should get a new.
Whatever you do, turn it off at night. Assuming the cells are unstable, it may actually overheat and explode. I wouldn't want to be asleep at that time if I were you...

Ugh.. this is already my 4th One in 3 months. Tired of this problem.
I'm probably going to request a different model of phone. Too many problems here.
Thanks...
Feel for you bro... I've fortunately never had any problems with mine, nor have my friends with their One's.
Well, sounds pretty bad, sorry for you
But i would sent it back (again) and make some pressure and tell them you want a fully functionally phone already! I dont know what i would do, i'm fine with mine ('knocking on the table*) but if had such issues and already had THREE phones because of issues i would go enrage lol.
Have had issues with a new laptop the first one had heating problems with graphic processor, so i sent it back, made some pressure and got a new one which is fine now
What i will say, always make a little pressure and don't say "okay" to everything you will get
I am facing serious shutdown issues . My nexus 6(MB,64GB) keeps shutting down unexpectedly . This happens while playing a game or even while calls. Any suggestions ??
this should not be in the general sections, but in the Q/A help section...

I had some major issues like that after updating to 5.0.1. I'm on cm now but if you flash back to stock it should fix things too

Happened to me too today.got n6 on 11th Dec.initially reboots started then after 2 weeks of observations I turned off ambient display and now random shut downs..
Phone turned off on 14 % battery just when I picked up an incoming call..then again turned off when there was a call..really fed up of this issue..
Don't know if its a hardware or software issue..
backup your phone, reflash stock img completely, and test without restoring apps.

I've never had a random reboot but I have had the random shutdown issue. This was running stock 5.0.1 with stock kernel. Also had the same occurrence on CleanRom with stock kernel (this is basically a stock rom/kernel with a few tweaks. Another user recommended flashing LeanKernel which I did and haven't had a problem since. This random shutdown was happening roughly once per day. I have been running strong for almost a week now I'd say. I always am the guy to run custom roms and kernels myself anyways but I actually don't mind the stock rom so flashing the kernel was no big deal to me. There are a few threads on this subject if you search the forums. I too am hoping this isn't hardware related since it's always a pita dealing with RMA.
Is there anything new onto that? Any possible solutions? Same issue for me, generally happens during calls ... :/
hmm strange, i never had any shutdowns, could be either your rom or kernel your on. make sure the kernel your using with ur rom is compatible

I was just looking for this.
Mine started doing the same.
I have the battery saver set to 5%, but it never turns on!
The phone shuts off between 10% and 5%.
The battery saver turns on for only for a few seconds(if at all) and the phone shows the powering off animation.
Connecting the charger and turning the phone on, after booting shows 8% already.
Its not normal, because i remember having my phone at 1% without any problems for tests when i got it in November...
For the last few weeks i never went lower than 25% so i don't know when this started, but since i found this out(5 days ago), i tried it every day and it happens like clockwork. Flashed the factory image back has no effect( i was on stock anyways).
Hoping not to have a replacement to save the cost of my dbrand and screen protector...
I give it one more week and if it doesn't change i call Moto. I have MotoCare so replacement should be easy.

Same here ....
Hi guys,
My 2 month old nexus 6 is powering down unexpectedly. Random shut downs (not reboots). Thought it was snap chat was the culprit (read a few articles how some 3rd party camera apps can cause lollipop to power down) but the phone shuts down even after uninstalling all suspicious apps.
Any advice or suggestions will be highly appreciated
Devs please help
I'm starting to really wonder if these "turbo chargers" are causing major degradation to the batteries. The phone will shut down when the battery *voltage* drops below a specific threshold, regardless of what the percent display is actually at.
Another thing to consider is that adding a significant load to a battery will cause it to read a lower voltage, even if that load does NOT immediately deplete the battery, those who notice this happening when running a very demanding game could be experiencing this. I would suspect though, that this will only be an issue if the battery level is already fairly low.
Any update on this?
5% is still my dead-spot and nothing i tried helps...
I just ordered my nexus but my s5 (current phone) randomly reboots. We figured it was due to volte. Turned that off on the s5 and no issues so far. Was really tired of it and the reason I'm going to nexus. That and the bigger screen

Same issue here...
It must be caused by a bad batch of battery defects, Factory reset or re-flash factory image won't fix it... To get a replacement from Google seems to be the right way...

I use to have this issue. However, it has not happened since I started using Franco kernel. Multiple people have had the problem resolved by changing kernels. That leads me to believe that it is software related rather than hardware. Other benefits of flashing Franco for me is I can now use the built in led for notifications and I am using double tap to wake.

My battery issue happened after I kept using Franco for a while...then I switched back to elementalX or stock kernel, nothing resolved...
if the back cover doesn't peel off or the battery doesn't start to expand, it might be a good sign that it is just a software issue.
Otherwise, battery defect could be happening already, as in my case...
Changing kernels fixed my issue which was the phone shutting down on its own randomly. I guess some of you are experiencing a different problem.

Just a little update.
I did an advanced replacement with motorola.
Did it over chat on sunday, received the new phone on wednesday from texas.
Deposit was 500+tax.
The phone was brand new unopened box. Cloud White 64GB
The package had a box and a prepaid label to send the bad phone back.
The box was too small to fit a nexus 6, so i had to modify it a bit.
It was probably for the moto X or smaller.
Sent the phone back on Friday, they got it on Monday, and my money was back.
Everything looks great, the new phone can go down to 1% no problem.
The new turbo charger does not have the electrical noise that the old one has.
That may caused the battery problem. Using it since last Wednesday, and no problems so far.
The advanced replacement was great and easy, if i have to i would do it again, although in 3 months its gonna be a refurb device not a now.
Mine was in mint condition, had dbrand on and no scratches. The person who will get it after me will be happy with that refurb device
And i am happy with my new phone.
If the HTC M9 will have a GPE edition i might switch
Recently, my phone has started running really hot in some circumstances, and the battery runs down really quickly.
Additionally, when the battery gets down to 21%, the phone immediately shuts down and then takes 10-15 minutes, at least, to charge enough that I can boot it back up.
I had a One XL that started experiencing similar issues after a year or two. Do these phones seriously only last that long?

Oh, it's only while I'm actually doing stuff with my phone, it doesn't just happen in the background. If I leave the screen off, I'm fine. But if I watch videos on YouTube, say, the phone gets so hot it's painful to hold, which wasn't happening before.
Plus the phone shutting off at 21% battery. Which would previously last a good 15-20 minutes, at least, even using it a bit.

i would contact HTC. Since its hardware failure, they usually fix for free (at least in UK) even off warranty.
it could be more than just battery...
