Bad Kernel? Bad Radio? What?
I've used quite a few different ROMs. (Enom, Kang [CM], MIUI, and most recently, Rodriguezstyle's miui.)
But, the problem keeps happening, despite wiping between each ROM.
is it the radio? or the kernel? I think it might be, but I'm fairly certain I have the right kernel...and I upgraded my radio when I went to Froyo...
Gah.
I dunno about the kernel, but from what I've heard, if you have the wrong radio your n1 will be bricked. So I guess it's not the radio.
It's not a problem, I've been living with it. It's just rather annoying...
Maybe it's an app I have installed? Or things aren't...done right? Augh idk.
Change the Kernel and that will fix it, pershoot's worked the best for me.
Do you have to pull the battery when it reboots?

I've changed it to many kernels. Right now i'm using this one:
2.6.35.4-950mV-BFS-SVS-AIX-720p-Monks-082710

No. I will be chilling on the phone, and then I will randomly see the boot image.
if your nexus is still less than a year old, get a new replacement device
watch the logcat output (adb logcat), and also kernel messages http://bootloader.wikidot.com/linux:android:kmsg

Are you overclocked?

Not that I'm aware of. I don't even have setcpu installed anymore.
So unless the roms themselves overclock, then no. I upgraded my
kernel, but it has done a random shut off once since then. But it's
not that often. Not as often as it was at least.
Do you have more than one battery to try? My phone locked up or randomly rebooted several times a day when I was using Cyanogen 6rc1, but it only did it with one battery and ran fine with the other. The problem went away after I updated CM though.
My theory is that my "bad" battery is damaged slightly enough that it conflicted with something particular in that rom (also happened with 3-4 different kernels). I don't know anything about batteries, but if that's accurate, I don't see why a battery couldn't be damaged enough to conflict with all roms.
It doesn't sound like your problem exactly, but might be one of the simpler things to try, especially if you have a spare or could borrow one or something.
Try to extract the SD-card and Power ON the phone without it. If the phone works
well in that condition, problem solved.
Something like this happens to me one time, all I do was to format the entire SD-card
in my iMac with the Disk Utility, filling all the space with zeros (0) for be sure all the
data was erased correctly. Then I make the partitions again, flash a ROM and all
is fine now.
Good luck!
I had the same problem. Phone would reboot during many tasks. This would happen with any ROM even stock. I sent the phone to htc and they changed the motherboard under warranty. I noticed it first started to happen with robo defense and then other apps such as YouTube or browsing the net. I wasn't able to use the phone while it was charging or it would reboot.

If you buy it off from google store, it comes with a 1 year manufacture warranty, call HTC and get a replacement device

I don't believe I ever filled out the warranty, can I still get it replaced?
Sorry for the double post, but I'm really curious...about the warranty thing.

This is my suggestion as well. A friend of mine had this problem. There was a corrupt video on his sd card that caused the entire issue.
Ok, so this has happened a few times now on various ROMs
I'll put my cappy on the charger for the night turned on with my alarm set. When I wake up (somehow on time luckily lol) it's turned off... I don't get it. What gives?

I also security unlocked it. Do I need to take care of that or do they even check that?
Also, I have a zagg screen cover on it which I adore and I've only had this phone for a couple months now at the most, I would hate to get rid of it
Will they replace that?

By "security unlock" if u mean network unlock, once u flash back to stock it should get reset again.
I unlocked mine on stock, n then when I loaded stock back when changing roms, i found it got locked again. So shouldn't be an issue.
And well, nothing can be done abt the screen protector.
Believe, I've the 4th captivate after 3 replacements for sleep death issue.

Thanks Smith. When u get ur replacement I would recommend u wait for 3-4 days, confirm it does not have sleep death or charge death issues, and then apply screen protector.
Like the dood said - Flash back to stock.. but I would test to see if it keeps happening. If you have a Build 1008 phone - it seems to be more prevalent on that build then others.
Mine happens when the phone is fully charged especially. I would test that to see if you can get it to repeat or AT&T will just give you a replacement battery instead of a refurbed phone.
Will do, if I even get one this time around. We will see...
Thanks again!
Regards
Smith
I have a 1008 build phone and I'm hoping to exchange mine within the week. I flashed back to stock with Odin 1Click on Tuesday and I noticed it isn't entirely the same as when I bought the phone. There are some default apps missing, QuickOffice for one. Anyone have ideas?

Hmm. How would I get it to repeat lol, charge it all the way and wait? And do you think they would really sit there and wait for the battery to charge to 100 to test or just swap?

You can download Quick Office from ATT Market. It's not needed for returning it back to AT&T. All of the base bloatware is returned to the phone after you Odin it.

Don't think too much. Format the internal SD, and revert to stock and return in. One click odin to stock gets it close to how AT&T gave u the phone. A couple optional apps missing shouldn't matter.

Great, thanks. That is all I needed to hear. Hopefully returning it today. Then as long as I can use the three-button mode to get into download and recovery, I think I'm going to try flashing my first ROM bundle.
So I exchanged my phone tonight. They gave me a 1007 build, however my IMEI ends in 0652. The guy at AT&T told me that Samsung had replaced the bad component causing the shutdown problem and was re-issuing old phones. They apparently don't change the IMEI. I'll see what happens. If it starts shutting down again, I'm back in the store for a new one.

Yes. AT&T person is right. After multiple exchanges, my 4th n current phone is a 10.07 build, been using for over 2 months now n its been good.
I have a phone that is in the range of phones effected by the standby of death thing and i didn't want to return it but it started affecting my phone, or at least i think it is. I almost always have a custom rom on it so could that be it. And also if i need to return my phone what should i do, should i just return it to jh7 and then call them to make a return or what? My IMEI ends in 3918.

First of all, never expose ur IMEI like this.
Try changing the kernel/ROM and see if it still is exhibiting the same behavior.

I'm on the same boat.
Honestly, I'm switching over to a more stable ROM to avoid it, and then once the refurb Atrix/Infuse/Inspires come out, I'll ring warranty and pick one up.
what defines standby of death? 10% hr?
5% hr?
Really?!?!?!

So your saying that i can keep my phone and since it has that standby of death thing i can return it and get a atrix/infuse when they come out instead? If so that is awesome, because i got my captivate right before they announced them and i was really angry. But how would i go about doing that once they came out? And about the imei thing, sorry i forgot.
You can't return it for a different phone can you?

standby death means - phone turning itself off when in standby mode, irrespective of battery level.
mine used to turn off whenever it wanted be it the battery was in 90s, or in 80s, or anything for that matter. Never could I predict when I would find it turned off.

Under normal instances no they will send you the same device (at least ATT) as long as they have them.
you have 30 days from date of purchase to get a different phone, after that your stuck with what you have.

Yes, they can exchange your phone, I had a nokia mural replaced so many times I called the presidents office of AT&T, long story short I got a captivate for $99 dollars from that and a 3 month extension to my contract.
You can in special circumstances get a new phone, but unless you have it replaced 3+ times there not going to do much...

I just bought a new phone from company and I have downloaded the app "Phone Info Samsung" in order to check the refurbishment. But it shows my phone is a refurbished one. After that, I downloaded another app and it shows my phone is original. Should I worry about my phone? I feel bad after seeing this. Sorry for my English.

I wouldn't think so, did you register it with Samsung for warranty and keep receipts of purchase?
if you did I don't really see it being a problem if the phone is in perfect condition
I'm of coarse the odd ball I don't care if mine is a refurb or not. If it works and no damage there is no difference. Orig refurb double refurb. They all work the same.
Some times a refurb can be better than the orig. Not saying this one is.

Yeah, I did. I kept it all, but I think Samsung would not do that to their customer. Because I bought it directly from Samsung company. I think that if it was a refurb, it would not come with the warranty card. Moreover, my phone is in perfect condition.

My concern would be the "water proofness" post refurb.....
However i never get my phone wet, and don't plan to, but accidents happen and it's nice to be able to count on the water resistance. Maybe check with Samsung, I would.....it's your hard earned/saved money.

One can only hope......I'd at the very least would want a discount on a "previously used device" If it is in fact refurbed the pricing should have reflected that. IMO

Here is one way to check whether your phone is refurbished or not: use a test code(##786#) at the Phone app. This can work for most of the Android phones.
Hey guys. I'm on the unbranded, unlocked Snapdragon Note 9 on Metro. I am constantly having high amounts of battery drain from the PHONE app. Has anyone else experienced this? Any solution?
What's under additional info on that screenshot? Is it built in samsung phone app?
Wait... these things have a PHONE in them?! You mean like actually TALKING to another human being?

I have not had a problem with the phone app using a large amount of battery. Is is the native phone app that comes with the phone or an alternate? I personally turn off the stock app with package disabler and use a modded pixel phone app which I like a lot more. Have you tried the standards of wiping the cache, etc.?

By the looks of it, no. I'm also in NYC, although on Tmobile (which runs Metro PCS). You didn't mention a couple things. You said you are unbranded, is that how the phone came or did you manually install the unbranded firmware. Did you buy the phone new, in box? Is your phone app perhaps spending its time looking for something that your phone does not have installed (if you manually flashed a different firmware)? What sort of location features do you have enabled in the phone app itself? Have you had this issue since the beginning, if not, how long. Can you relate it to anything that happened or anything you may have done? I am honestly just guessing here and trying to maybe steer the conversation to a culprit, I've never had this issue.

Samsung + notified me of this behavior on two occasions and it hasn't happened again since I created this thread. I use the stock Samsung phone app. I honestly don't know what caused it but I'm happy it's not still going on
