Unable to wake - have to pull battery

Has anyone else experienced this?
Sometimes (5-6 times in the last 24 hours) when the phone is sleeping, it will not wake when I hit power/unlock. I have tried installing no lock, hoping it was a glitch in the lock screen, but it still happens. The only way to fix it is to pull the battery.
Any advice?

Are you running setcpu? Mine was doing this when I would lower the speed with a screen off profile. I just uninstalled setcpu for now. I don't think the kernel supports it anyway.

No, I had it, but since I can't overclock yet, there was no need to keep it installed. I did a factory reset, so we'll see if this fixes things.

let us know how it goes... If you experienced any unable to wakes after the reset...

Seems to be working fine. I'm not sure what the problem WAS, but the reset seems to have fixed it.
Root and busybox were still intact. Had to re-do the lag fix. (Method 1)
I'll update if I get the issue again.
My phone is just so...VIBRANT

Samething happened to me yesterday morning. Woke up found my phone wouldn't go back up. I thought it was dead, until I pulled the battery. I haven't Root hack it or installed SetCPU.
Sorry to throw this issue in this topic, but anyone have any problem with the phone rotating sideway for WEB and Messaging? I thought when I first got it, it worked.. now it doesnt..

There is probably a common app here or something causing this because I don't ever recall hearing this type of issue with the Vibrant before this thread.

I had the same thing happen to me and found after much trial and error that when I pulled my SD card out I was then able to wake the phone up. Apparently there was some problem with my SD (I was using it with my previous phone..MT3G) that was causing the Media scanning process to get stuck.
I ended up backing up what I needed from the SD and reformatting it. Since then I haven't had any issues. We may or amy not have the same root cause but hopefully this does help.

I'm thinking the problem HAS to be software related. After the reset, I've reinstalled everything I had before, and it's working like a charm! I've even used Titanium Backup to remove a lot of the bloatware, and still ruining great!
I just wish we could get a logcat, but when it happens, the phone is dead until you pull the battery.

I am almost 100% SETCPU is the problem..
My phone would not come out of sleep.. I had to pull the battery and when I turned it on it would say "auto update of time and date".. That made me think the phone lost its internal battery and the phone was bad..
It started doing it right after I configured SETCPU... I installed the program last Thursday but never clicked on it.. I set it for on demand and that is when it started not coming out of sleep..
So I removed SETCPU and it still would not come out of sleep..
So I did a wipe all user data and it started working fine.. I installed SETCPU and it was still working fine.. I setup SETCPU for performance and it started messing up again and not coming out of sleep..
So, I wiped all user data again last night and it has been working perfectly since.. So I do not plan on reinstalling SETCPU...

Constant Phone/Touchwiz reboots - help if you can

Hello everyone, I've got an interesting problem that I want the experts here at XDA to help me troubleshoot. Feel free to ask questions as I know there's probably a million variables at this point with stuff installed, uninstalled, gps, root, task killers, etc.
alrighty with that said, I did the e-wrecked gps fix (changing the operation mode and server location+port). That seems to work great in terms of time to lock on my position as well as improved accuracy. Over the next couple of days I noticed some really choppy and lengthy phone start ups after the fix.
Eventually it got to (and currently is at) a point where it kept rebooting the phone, or at least touchwiz. It would load up, scan media, search for the network, do all the start up stuff, then lock up, and turn the screen off. Hitting the lock button/power button does nothing while it resets itself. Then it resets to the lock screen, the screen lights up and it goes into "searching" for the tmo network while doing the storage preparations, and other boot up stuff. It does not restart from cold (with the vibrant, tmo, and galaxy animations, only the lock screen and OS boot process)
Anyone else got any funky restarts going on, for whatever reason? I basically want to start seeing what would trigger this behavior. I started uninstalling stuff one by one trying to figure out why its doing that but sometimes it boots up fine, sometimes it boots but doesn't ever find tmo's network, and sometimes it just does the above.
Observations:
1. It will always boot up fine if the SIM card is out.
2. The last time it did it was today while I was at work, listening to music while the phone was charging. Im noticing that the phone gets pretty hot while charging and really hot if you're using while its charging (getting apps, surfing the web, playing games, etc)
So any thoughts from the tech gurus here? anyone have similar behavior in the past on other phones? is the heat affecting the sim card negatively? I can (and have) put my simcard back in my treo 680 backup phone with no issues whatsoever.

New observation, it consistently does the reset process as soon as the "Adjust Time and Date" as it registers/syncs with the network.
UPDATE: so, i did some research, ended up at the setCPU thread and saw that when set to OnDemand some people's phones experienced similar tendencies. Problem is, mine was already set to auto-detect and "Conservative". I un-checked start at boot, and tried again. Same problem. I uninstalled setCPU completely and my phone appears to be back to normal.
I'll update again if anything changes.

so one of the things that i removed during my troubleshooting was my corporate exchange account. When i added it back. it did its initial sync fine and gave me my calendar and contacts. I then rebooted and the problem came back.
I removed the account and rebooted. it went through two cycles of the restarts and on the third one, it worked. I left it alone after that.
I then was showing my friend some things (browser differences) and had 3 browsers open. It froze as i went to close Dolphin HD. Rebooted and now its back to the cycle.

Mine did this also. Installed several apps, woke up to find a slow phone. Resets galore. A quick reset to defaults and app restore fixed it, sans setcpu of course.
From XDA App on SGS-Vibrant

my phone resets itself also as described above, but not really doing anything in particular. i dont have a whole lot of apps installed. i even was using google maps the other day and after it started up the screen went black and the device was unresponsive until the screen came back and it said searching and the media scanner was running.

well first off thanks for responding lol. i thought i was by myself out here.
secondly, i found that if i leave it alone and let it go through its cycle, it does eventually boot up ok (this is recently, before, it was endless). i havent restarted my phone (im afraid to lol) since it did it on its own yesterday (showing my friend the browsers).
since yesterday, i've used it for navigation (motonav), serveral installs, downloaded podcasts, rss feeds, etc and its been ok (even while charging and wifi on). again, havent actually restarted it since yesterday because its actually functioning for once.
Lastly, i unchecked the auto update time and date from network in the settings just to see if that makes a difference because based on previous expereience that is the point where it freezes and resets. Thanks for chiming in and let me know if there's any other advice you have

I'd suggest a reset as mentioned above.

Been checking out this site for awhile but this is my first time posting, today my phone started to have this problem and it just bootloops touchwiz if i have a simcard in the phone.
It works fine without a simcard but my problem is it will not let me turn of auto update of time and date, i have tried disabling this setting and it just enables itself again. I have also noticed that if I started messing around with time and date settings even without a sim touchwiz reloads once. I guess im gonna give a reset a go.

sorry, noob question (i came from winmo and a touch pro 2), what does "a quick reset to defaults" mean? is that like a factory wipe i.e. phone will be brand new again, gotta root again and reinstall everything, change settings, etc?

Root will stick but settings and apps/app data will be gone. It briefs you on what is and isn't lost when you do a factory reset.

Smae problem, its setcpu!
SetCPU with any settings will do this.
It needs an update, the auto detect some how loses and
will set the cpu to 19mhz max and min.
This is too slow to process. I rebooted and pressed settings and uninstalled it
while I could. Seems to behave once out of touchwiz.

For me it was another app not setcpu I never used it. After i did a reset i restored all my apps with titanium backup and once i restarted my phone it looped again. So i did another restore and left off all the apps that i installed right before the problem started and so far i think for me at least one of these caused it
Google maps update
google translate
the extra language pack for translate
barnacle wifi tether
hero of sparta
these are apps that I installed right before the problem happened and without these my phone works fine I am going to see if i can find that one that caused my problem.

It's not the maps update because my phone works fine with it.

It was hero of sparta a gameloft game from there web market funny thing is its suppose to work on the vibrant while dungeon hunter which works fine would only give nexus as a check out option. Anyway im going to try to get a refund tomorrow.

I get the same touchwiz reboot but for me it has only ever happened while using google maps. I do not use set cpu, but I have applied the gps fix. It is more than a little annoying. I have done a system wipe but the problem persists.

yes, if you have setcpu, uninstall it - its buggy with the galaxys
- sometimes you can't wake your phone (if you set a screen off profile), forcing you to do a battery pull
- constant launcher restarts

and this is why i started the thread, to make sure i wasnt all alone. i have everything you have installed as well, but it was doing it before i picked up hero of sparta (and nova, and asphalt 5, man those guys make some good phone game lol).
anyways i just installed barnacle wifi tether yesterday so thats not it either (at least for me). That leaves the google stuff, out of the apps in your list, all of which were installed when i first got the problem, and are still on there after I've removed setCPU

ok so, contacts, text messages, etc stay? Meaning if i do a factory reset, root stays, and all app stuff can be taken care of by, say, AppBrain since it has a running list of everything installed and knows where to get it to install it again? I apprecicate the advice, but this would still be a last resort sort of thing. my phone has worked fine for the past few days but I also havent restarted it yet either

just a quick update, my phone still does this if i reboot my phone (which is never now that i got my 32gb sd card), but for the first time ever hero of sparta caused it to happen while the phone is on. I uninstalled it so we'll see.

Phone restarting randomly

Every once in awhile, I will look over and notice the Roger logo popped back up on my phone which means its restarting. No idea how much this does in a day but I have caught it a couple times in the past few days. Anyone have this problem? An excuse to get a phone replaced?

yup..happens to me on average around 3 times a week.
i launch an app..the screen goes blank..suddenly i notice the phone has restarted.
maybe low on RAM or too high temperature

Me phone has only done this once to me after I cleaned too many built in apps from my phone.
Other than that my phone has never rebooted.
Swyped from my rooted X10i using XDA.

My phone had restarting problem when i used aHome home launcher. After unistalling it, never happened again

Weird. My phone has never done it while i am using it. Its always done it when sitting by itself on a table, not running anything.

If you guys read the SE support site, you'll know that it has to do with the phone running out of memory because of too many apps running at the same time.
I know that there is a group here who does not believe in Advance Task Killer app, but I haven't had this issue after starting using this app. And, I'll repeat again, it helps me conserve the battery, not matter whoever who keeps saying that it is useless for that purpose.

It reboots even if you have a lot of memory free. This morning it rebooted after 30 min from the first boot and I didn't use it.
Ciao Angelo

noticed this happening quite a bit over last 2-3 days, not sure if its been caused by program update, possibly adw home.
today has been the worst, disconnecting and reconnecting almost every minute or so.
gonna try switching 3g off see if that helps. really annoying, makes browsing a PITA.

I personally found that it happen when I connected to Wifi.
That's for myself.

X10 Restarting
you showld try to turn off the WCDMA mode, after turning only GSM mode it never restarted again, and if i turn it on goes back to restarting every once in a wille, especialy when connected to my car's bluetooth.
try it and give feed back.

Started happening to me after I stopped using advanced task killer... maybe it happens when it runs out of ram?

Don't your phones get extremely laggy without ATK? I usually don't exit apps when I'm done with them, I just press the home button, and open up more apps, so I can't go without it...
As far as I can recall, my phone's never restarted on me...

In the last couple of days it is happening to me too.
I stop using the phone for some time, and then it just restarts itself.

i just bought an x10 yerstday and ever since the recent update it has continuously rebooted on its own when browsing the net and playing music.
This really bugged me since i didnt know whether it was a faulty set or the new update was the problem. after going through various threads on various forums i realised the problem is very common.(unrooted before and fully factory unlocked)
So here is my Solution. it has not restarted yet after doing the following
1. Rooting and updating to latest firmware R2BA026
2. Installing Auto memory manager
> Setting it as follows
FA... 2MB
VA... 2MB
SS... 4MB
HA... 5MB
CP... 6MB
EA... 6MB
3. Installing Advanced Task Killer (Using it as normally as u could do)
> Untick Superuser permission
> Untick Auto Memory Manager
Dont let the memory fall below 15mb always check Auto Memory Manager and then use ATK.
Please tell me if this worked for you. it worked for me

I solved my reboot problem with Reset to factory defaults.

Tried this, also tried resetting using seus and still it continues, think my phone has a fault now, I'm now running latest o2 uk fw (26).
If I'm on 3g it will cycle being connected and disconnected almost constantly, makes using net impossible, if I set it to use gsm only everything is fine. Could be o2 screwing with 3g where I live but I don't think so some how, not for this length of time!
Any one have any ideas? Failing that its gonna have to be sent away :-(

Ok so I wasnt a believer in all this r/s crap, but I alsmost shat my pants last night when my phone r/s on me during a call. Now at that time its wasnt on wifi but it r/s on me...i dialed again and after a few mins it r/s again. This is pissing me off. Any solutions.???
I guess if it continues then imma jump ona new phone.

If your G1 is constantly rebooting, Google Maps might be the reason. (Fix)

2 days ago, my G1 started acting up. Randomly rebooting too often, middle of a call etc. I was digging around, even checked log cat without much luck. Then I seem to have isolated the problem. In the past Google Maps updates usually borked things on my old Enom rom. So I went in and checked. After I loaded it, it gave me a message saying it updated itself. Then I went into settings for it and cleared the cache and map tiles. Since then no more reboots or odd issues.
I had tried to "Clear Cache" in recovery too which didnt do anything. So it does seem to be just google maps related stuff. So I wanted to post this in case anyone else had the same issue. Been using my G1 for 4 years now. Would hate to stop using it heh.

It's a conspiracy--they're trying to force you to upgrade your phone already.

This isn't specific to the G1, I had to uninstall maps on my sensation because it was causing reboots.

Yea now its all doing it again.. I may just uninstall maps. Then reinstall it and leave the "auto update" off. Its very annoying, cause Maps is one of the 1st things that loads on bootup.
Edit: Ok things of interest.. took sim out (that later using airplane mode with sim in) no more rebooting. How odd. T-mobile issue somehow I wonder? Or one of their apps.
Well I wondered if it had been Visual Voicemail.. but thats been inconclusive since right after I rebooted, Google Maps decided to download itself again after I had just uninstalled it... >.>

Crashes every morning since daylight savings time.

Edit: Seems this is a more widespread problem, looks like the consensus is that is has to do with Daylight Savings Time change & the wireless charging Orb. Some others with similar problem:

Hey guys. I have a 16GB Nexus 4 that is rooted (SuperSU 1.65), running CWM (6.0.3.6), stock radio, stock kernel, stock 4.3.
I installed the pre-released hangouts v2 that was extracted from the AOSP 4.4. It immediately started causing random apps to crash so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the original version of hangouts. Ever since then though, every morning when I take my phone off the charger (orb) whenever I try to open any google apps (gmail, settings, camera, etc) it will force close that app. Once I reboot the phone everything seems to be working fine until the next morning.
I have tried clearing the cache & dalvik but to no avail.
My last nandroid is from a few months ago so Id really like to have to reload that only as a last resort. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Try clearing the data of Google Services Framework. If that doesn't work, reflash your Gapps package.

thanks, I will give that a shot.

Mine started doing this but not rooted and didn't install any pre-release apks. The clock even crashes while on the charger when it tries to sound the morning alarm.
A reboot clears it for the day but its back every morning. I reset the phone but no change.

crashes every morning
I think it has something to do with the time change???

I got the same problem, i click on clear cache of Google Service Framework but nothing happens!
Can you reproduce your steps?

whelp, i was wrong. When I woke up this morning, checked my email and it crashed. So I tried to go into settings to clear the framework and the settings crashed too. So I rebooted and its fine again. Any other ideas?

Same problem
I was the one that started that thread on Reddit. I've done a factory reset from the settings menu, cleared the cache data and factory reset via fastboot menu and the issue is still occurring. Phone is completely bone stock, no root or anything.
For me it started Saturday 11/2. I have been using the charging orb just as everyone else. I tried using my wall charger last night and I didn't have an issue. Not sure why out of the blue this could be the cause. I will be trying my orb again tonight to see if it reoccurs.

Mine did not crash this morning, after clearing the google service framework yesterday.... now it might crash tomorrow.
here is my thought into the process... Are we all using the google alarm clock? and after the time change?
4.4 can't get here fast enough

The first time it happens to me i was using the timely app as alarm clock. And it occurred the same day i got the time change. After that i uninstall timely and start using de default clock app.
The same day i got the time change the chrome app was not working either, i had to change my time zone to fix it.

I dont use my phone as an alarm clock, I dont use daydream or anything like that.
Do we all use the orb to charge though? Is that something we all seem to have in common?

Wow, just went through the reddit thread. seems to be a much bigger issue that originally though.

I also edited the title to reflect the orb being the newly suspected cause of the problem - not hangouts as originally thought.
I also found a link to a google group through the reddit thread, so I posted in that to complete the triangle. LOL. Hopefully someone comes up with a solution.

It's not the orb charger. I've been getting the same issue, but I use the N4 cable charger. Timely alarm clock still goes off, but there's a FC message when I go to my phone. Reset fixes it for the day. UK based, CM10.2 M1 + latest goo.im gapps. Also, I have a weird issue where the screen keeps turning back on when I lock it. Just keeps the lock screen permanently on when I'm charging in the morning.

I dont think the problem is related to the orb or wireless charger. Two people just post about the problem and they are using wired charging.
Everybody had to change the time before the problem start (summer time, DTS, whatever)? i'm suspicious that android is not handling this changes.
Anybody knows if android has a log with the errors? Maybe we can found some tip.

has anyone had the problem and NOT charged overnight?
Its possible that this occus overnight because the DST change usually occurs at 2am so if the glitch happens at 2am most of us dont see it until we get up.

Im going to disable the automatic network time & automatic time zone settings tonight - see what happens tomorrow morning.

I like this idea, but for me, the issue started the morning before the daylight savings rollback.
I used my wired charger last night and didn't have the issue this AM, but will be trying my orb again tonight.
