[Q] Why my Galaxy S locks up?! (Comatose Syndrome on going investigation)

Hi Guys,
Could someone tell me why my 2 weeks old Galaxy S (Service Provider: Bell) turns it self off out of the blue?
It happend twice already, the phone was on my pocket, I pushed the on/off side botton and nothing happens, the screen is pitch black!!
This is an irritating issue as I'm forced to physically take out the phone from the case and remove the battery and put it back on to turn on the phone.
Does anybody whats causing this issue? and how to fix it ?
Your help is much appreciated!
Cheers

Also, I was wondering if I do a factory reset to try solving the random shutting down problem, will I have to re-purchase all the apps I bought from the Market?

Send for warranty is needed I think

No, the info that you purchased the apps is stored in your Google account. So if you use the same Google account as you're using now as your primary account after reset, you can download all those apps for free. (Primary account is the Google account you first associated with the device.)

i had the same problem with 3 different bell vibrants. About 6 days ago, i bought a new sim card from bell for $5, and it has not happened since. I bought my phone from Bestbuy, but bought my new sim card from Bell store because perhaps the bestbuy sim cards are outdated. Hopefully it stays ok.
One thing i did notice was that when my phone would turn off by itself, it was always in an area where there was bad reception. Maybe a link.

I found that it happened when I installed a different launcher other than Touchwiz. I was using LauncherPro, uninstalled it and everything worked fine. I installed ADW and everything is fine so far.

I saw this thread yesterday and was thankful mine hadn't developed this issue. And then last night after about two hours idle time, my SGS switched itself off and the power button wouldn't respond at all. The only way to revive my beloved phone was to do a hard reset (i.e. removing the battery).
For what it's worth, the only "mods" I've made are installing a handful of apps. No new launcher, no custom ROMs etc.
I'm tempted to give Voda a ring and ask for a new SIM. But this really smells more like a hardware fault to me. A faulty SIM shouldn't result in a handset switching itself off, I'd think...

i'v encountered smailar problem , first i thought my phone turned itself off, later i suspected some apps i'v installed ( setCPU, autokiller etc), after while and digging, i found that i'v installed "Android Tweak" , it has an option to disable screen dim, and i'v used that option, so i changed it back and the problem is gone.

in Spain we have the same problem and no solution by now

Same thing happened to me last night. Maybe a bug with the date?

Mine just died again ten minutes ago. I guess it's a possibility, but considering the number of bugs that we're all discovering with the hardware and software, I'm suspecting it's yet another dodgy batch of phones from Samsung.

I just bought two Galaxy S and I am having same problems with both. I called Belll and they said they never had this kind of problem before. I had installed few apps and thought may be those apps were causing the problem, but even after deleting the apps..phones are powering off itself...
Did any one find the solution yet??

Same problem here, and from what i am hearing is becoming frecuent among galaxy owners. Im amazed something this important hasnt made the news , i mean, its a huge malfunction issue .

I had the same issue.
I called up Samsung support and they asked me to do a phone reset. I didn't try that, but I upgraded the firmware and it's gone now. I suspect resetting the phone will also solve the issue.

This happened to me for the first time today as I woke up and it wasn't dark outside. When I looked to see what time it was my phone (that I use as an alarm) was off!!
This is the first blemish on an otherwise outstanding experience. But it is a major one. I will assume that it is somehow related to something I've installed. But I'm not looking forward to figuring it out, since I've got a lot of apps

Good luck. I did a factory restore the other day to see if that would help. It didn't. Like you I use my SGS as an alarm... I woke up two hours late this morning because my phone had switched itself off in the middle of the night.
I'm currently waiting for a replacement handset. I'm not holding my breath that the new hardware won't have exactly the same bug though...

Mine started doing this yesterday...same with a bunch of coworkers that have the same phone. We think it may be related to bad reception.

Sigh
My phone just started doing this in the last couple of days.
I've also noticed sometimes it gets into a state of continuously saying "usb debugging connected" and then "usb connected" and just continuously keeps displaying those even though it has no usb cable anywhere near it..
Havent flashed the phone for about a week now and it was fine for 3-4 days after the flash so no idea what is going on..
Anyone else seen those usb messages? They come and go.. but it seems when they come its usually when my phone turns off..

I've not seen anything like that myself but then I have stuck with stock firmware.

Thats funny...because the only time it has happened to me is at work, where the phone is struggling for reception. It has turned off a total of about 8 times over 1 month. It has never turned off anywhere else (except one other time i was getting bad reception in the forest, and a few minutes later it was off)...strange

[Q] Strange issues

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.

[Q] Deathly crash issue: only solution is factory reset. SERIOUS ISSUE

Okay, I have been having a serious issue with my D3 lately. One time, my phone just randomly rebooted, and then it would get stuck at the red "Droid Eye" screen, where it would be laggy and such after a while. Eventually the screen would time out in like 2 minutes. After it turned off, I could not get it to turn back on. Basically dead, except I could still get notifications and even a phone call. But I could not act on any of them. it's like the phone's heart is still beating, but I can't turn the screen on. I pull the battery and reboot and it does it again. SOMETIMES if I keep touching the red eye screen I can get to get to the lock screen, but the wallpaper won't load and it's basically frozen. I even tried booting into safe mode and that didn't help. I took it to Verizon, they said they've a couple other people with a similar issue on the forums. They did a factory reset, and that has been the only solution to the issue. I have had it 3 times now, and this time I'm sticking with the Blur launcher and keeping only the essential apps installed. I'm assuming this is a software issue, and I'm currently trying to figure out if it is related to a certain app that was installed. Hoping they will fix this with an update! ANYBODY ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE? if so, any leads on another fix or what it could be?

sounds like a software issue. a factory reset doesn't do anything other than change the software.
I had a similar issue on my droid 1. it was rooted and when I installed a gingerbread from I forgot who, it got stuck at the eye, kept rebooting, and occasionally, i'd get calls and it still wouldn't work. I look forward to root.
out of curiousity, did you have to take it to the store to factory reset or is there an option for it in the bootloader(I know its locked but I have no idea to what degree)

The first time I took it to the store they did it for me, but yeah there's an option in the bootloader. Just took my back to Verizon cuz this was the 4th time it's done it, they're sending me a new one! It's okay, cuz my nice screen open 'click' sound was gone on the keyboard lol

[Q] Problem with Moto Voice

Hello guys, I've acquired my New Moto X last monday and I've been using since then. It a fantastic phone and everything else but I have a problem with the moto voice. I use it like, 5 times a day, works perfect, but after a time, and I have a theory that it's conflicting with other apps installed in the phone, it became too slow. Like, i say my activation phrase, it beeps but nothing shows up, only 10 seconds later a very slow and laggy version of the interface. It also happens when I open it directly from the Moto app. After this, I've done a factory reset on the phone, and the Moto Voice came back to life... BUT, after 3 days it started again... Then I done it again... And guess what in 24 hours the same error. The worst part is that I dont' know if they are going to solve this error, I have already reported it but I don't know... And if I send it back to the store to get a new one I'll probably saty almost a month without a phone... Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions

Did you try clearing cache?
Also, are you on the latest version 6.1.10.1?

Yes to both!

I found the OK google feature responds faster and better. Just as long as you don't want to command other apps.

I'm having the exact same issue. It's very slow. Same issues after factory reset. Also - when it does work, works with Google Now, but none of the MOTOX apps like 'find my phone' etc.
any resolution?

Same thing here
I have had the same issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times with no luck. The few times I've managed to get through the entire voice set up it ends up un-checking my launch phrase with in a few uses and moto voice stops working. I keep providing feedback when the voice app fails and hopefully they will figureboit why this is happening. Happy to hear its most likely not my device and an issue with the app.

I have the same problem and i may have located the problem. Try turning off bluetooth completely and see if the problem still exists?

[Q] LG G Watch R shuts down

I have a problem with my LG G Watch R. I use it just a week and in beginning it was all great, but after an upgrade(I think) to 5.0.1 my watch started to shut down randomly.
Sometimes when it shuts down I just turn it on and it works, but sometimes it wont turn on at all with button(holding it to 20 sec and nothing) only way to turn it on is to put it on charger until it turns on and than when removed from charger can be used normally until next shut down which could be for 5 min or few hours you can never know.
I tried to reset from settings and even form boot it and it didn't fix it. Can problem be in pairing it with rooted smartphone with unofficial rom or something like that?

I have also one shutdown yesterday for first time after 4 weeks and it is after 5.01 update.
I do not know why but it is possible that my hand position has pressed for more than 10s the power button ?

It is possible, but mine shuts down even when standing on table, and on my wrist. I thing it is some battery management issue because it somehow shuts about the same percentage of battery(about 70% than about 52% etc..)

I am faced with the same problem... Were you able to solve it?

Me too... same problem. I don't known why.

Same here. Had the watch for a week, first week everything fine now it just shuts down and I am unable to start it without the charger. I have just upgraded the software.

+1 Since last week, same issue here
Any idea guys ?
I performed a full factory reset 3x Times...Complete reset also from my phone, no luck here.

Any update on this? I have the same issue for a few weeks now and I'm about to send it in.

Not for me...Shutdown is done randomly. Sometimes it's just few seconds after a reboot, sometime it's after 1 hour, sometimes it works for few days...I had also a reboot
in recevory & fastboot mode...Sorry to say LG, but your hardware is not efficient

I sent it in a few days ago. Will let you know once I get it back

I'd make sure you don't have any Wear Apps causing problems. I found that "Advance Settings" caused mine to regularly crash.

True, but crashing is one thing. The Probolem here is that the phone shuts down all the time.

Just got a letter from the company that's repairing my watch. Due to a parts that's not available the repair will take some more time. They sent me a list of the parts that are going to be replaced:
PCB assembly
Rechargeable battery
Cover assembly
LG2 (no idea what that's going to be)
Anyway. I'm glad they are fixing it and I'm looking forward to get it back soon.

After many phone calls and emails I won't get the watch back. However the store will give me a refund for it. Unfortunately I can't buy it here anymore. Gotta check ebay
