[Q] Acer shuts down randomly

G'day
I am really getting fed up with the randon shutdowns after charging, my tab has never had a uptime of more then 2 days before shutting down. Anyone know what to do about this (besides going for an ipad2 ) ?

I've had this problem since day one (3 weeks ago) I thought I'd fixed it by switching off the GPS but nows its back. I even have trouble booting it as I have to hold the power button on for a few seconds more than once. Do you think we'll be getting a software fix or should I return it?

Mine has same issue, but seems more often since last update!!

not sure if I can help in the shutdown problem.
But regarding the booting/power on thing.... that's how we ALL turns our on....it required a 3-4 seconds holding in the power button

I believe the tablet has an auto shutoff that kicks in after 4-5 hours

Well, I decided against the Acer, i ordered an Asus.
HC 3.1 is in reach now
Iam really fed up with Acer....what a bull... company.

Not true. I've never experienced this on my A500. The last time it was powered off was when I installed the update, and prior to that it was powered off by me a day or two after it was purchased. I've never come back to the device and had it completely off for no apparent reason.
I use a password login, I keep USB debugging turned on and my wifi is set on when the screen is on, off when not. I charge it every day during the day, and use it at least 2 hours total per day. I have a 32 GB MicroSD card installed.
It sits by my bed with the screen off, and not plugged in at least 9 to 10 hours every night, and it's the first thing I grab when I wake up to check my email accounts and news.
So, trust me, I'd notice if it turned itself off randomly...
I wonder if it's either a software conflict with some people's tablets or if there's a run of bad tablets out there?

I could give you a nightmare story of my Asus EEE netbook...
About 2 weeks before the warranty expired the left mouse button stopped working. I sent a support request through their site and it took them several days to respond. They responded with some initial troubleshooting issues. I sent back that it was definitely hardware and the button didn't even feel right. They took another few days to respond and told me to call the 800 #.
The 800# people had me email them a copy of my sales receipt, which I did. They waited until a day after my warranty expired and told me my warranty was expired and they wouldn't do anything for me.
I tried appealing and everyone ignored me. I'll never buy another Asus product. Previously I purchased around 30 of their motherboards a year for work, not anymore.
That's why I bought the Acer - didn't even have to think twice about it.

I also encounter the shut-down issue. It seems to occur after long periods of charging (say charging overnight). I've had a similar issue with certain ROMs on my Captivate - when the phone would hit 100% while charging it would shut down.
It's a bit annoying, but hasn't been a big issue. If my tablet has been sitting on a charger for 4+ hours it's usually because I don't have an immediate need for it.

Mine also turns off overnight after the update. Hope with next update it works properly and with 3.1.

i never had any problems before but the last 4 days it shut off twice and I notice that it did only after I had it chargin. Is it a really big problem guys? Not for me it takes what 20-25 secs to boot up? I can deal with it till 3.1 rolls out so as long as it doesn't shut off daily while I'm using it idc.

Any news on this problem? I'm almost at the point of returning mine but I think I'll try the factory reset first

just throwing in a me too... just bought my iconia yesterday after returning a galaxy tab 10 (which is THE sexiest tablet ever, but I really needed SD and USB w/o an adapter)... the weird part is everyone else here ties it to charging but mine just did it ten minutes ago and its been off the charger for 12 hours. I also have trouble with the web browser crashing and text selection sometimes is just broken... 3.1 can't come fast enough, and having owned a galaxy tab 10 for a day I can attest that 3.1 is quite a bit better.

i've had mine for nearly a month now, and it's only just started shutting down automatically last night. Happened a few times consecutively last night, and it's happened again about 10minutes ago when i just went to use it it was off, and i distinctly remember it still being on after i took it off charge this morning and put it in my bag.
Starting to become a little annoying especially if it continues to get worse.

Browsers shutting down for some sites. Java problem ?
+ 1
Its meanwhile a month ago since the last posting. Is a solution found ?
I use Dolphin 6.0.0 on Android 3.01 1.141.01 and for month's it worked perfect.
Today, it starts shutting down for some sites and indeed switching off java solves the problem. Same for stock browser. Its annoying that this happens without a clear trigger because it indicates an unstable system !
edit: sorry, wrong thread

just picked mine up yesterday and encountered this last night. Which is especially annoying since it was halfway through downloading the 350MB update when I went to bed.

So update to 3.1 - the official version has been out for over a month now, it is a lot more stable then 3.01 in my experience when it comes to web browsing. Just copy the correct update.zip to microsd, reboot with top vol rocker/power held, you got 3.1 without waiting for Acer to push ota to you.

R800x 2.3.3. battery life absolutely deathly

Okay so I posted here a week or so ago about how my Xperia Play was epicly failing....it was force closing everything and dying in just hours.
So I factory reset and used Titanium to restore all of my apps and stuff...and so far the crawling speed/force closing has for the most part abated (opening up texts and contacts still sometimes takes forever or force closes)
but the battery issue remains. My battery is absolute garbage at the moment. It drains by 10 percent per half hour if being used or even more!! And it gets hot constantly, and obviously at that time it really sheds the power and dies quickly.
If I'm CHARGING the phone WHILE using it heavily, it WON'T power ABOVE the % it started at!! It stays constant or goes down!!
I'm not sure what to do. Should I let the phone die, keep it off, and charge it while off till its 100%?
Or maybe my phone is approaching the situation it was a week ago...I constantly check the running apps and its the usual suspects, nothing crazy. I had to delete official facebook app because it almost ALWAYS lagged and oftentimes force closed.
It says cell standby is using 40%, wi-fi using about 22%, voice calls 17%, phone idle 15%, and dialer 14%
What happened to my phone? Why is it such a clusterf*ck lately? Any ideas/advice?

Are you leaving wifi on because that will really suck the battery down? Also do you live in an area with bad signal? Put it in airplane mode and see if the battery still discharges as fast.

My r800x dies in 6 hours whether it's on airplane mode or not. I've re calibrated the battery like 5 times so far, and it just won't get better. I'm regretting moving to verizon to this. I should just get a sim card and go back to my HTC Inspire. I can leave the r800x in idle with the screen off, while in airplane mode and it will still die in 6 hours. It doesn't even last a whole day of work. Mine's also rooted. I need some serious help with this phone.

Turn off wifi.
If you have it on it will search for wifi networks all of the time (unless you're home and connected to your own wifi) and it will suck your battery dry.

I don't even use wifi. I don't have access to the router at home, and my data is turned off when I'm not using it.

Perhaps you have a bad battery? Maybe replacing that will solve the issue.

It could be. Every time I try to check my battery's health, no matter what app I use, or even if I do it from the service menu it reads at "unknown". One app says that my phone doesn't even have a battery stat service, or something along those lines. I was considering just buying one of those mugen batteries for my phone, considering that I brought the issue to verizon's attention, and they told me they were gonna send me a replacement battery, but I never got it. This was all about 2 months ago though.

wow, sounds bad. mine will last all day, its an r800x on 2.3.3 as well but i can use it like normal, play about a hour of games on it, talk on it a lot, use wifi and 3g and do some average surfing and it will last at least 24-30 hours...
i'm thinking it must be a bad battery as well

Im running 2.3.3 verizon from the FTF and my r800x would last almost 3days, and thats with texting/talking/surfing using 3g and playing a shyt load of sonic . I would replace the battery with a genuine Sony replacement, dont ever buy a ebay knock off ! Furthermore, I don't believe apps that check your battery health are accurate at all, so dont waste your time.
Best way to check (imo) - Before you charge it up, let it go to 0% and die. Boot recovery and wipe the battery stats, turn the phone on and charge to full. After its fully charged, let it sit 10-15 mins on charge. Then pull of the charge and use normally, if it still dies fast, replace the battery.
If this idea was already posted sorry for double post

How do I go into recovery? My boot loader is still locked. As much as I want to unlock it to put abc xperia play rom on, I don't want to pay 25 bucks.

I swapped mine out for similar issues. The replacement doesn't have the same issues yet but I haven't put a single app on it. I can't say that adding apps caused it before because I remember it similarly not getting anywhere when charging while using. I also experienced it dropping while charging but it turned out to be a that the MTP device wasn't starting on the PC so it showed as plugged in and charging even though it wasn't (check the Device Manager). My Alienware M11x actually supports charging devices off that particular USB port when it is turned off so it was a bit hard to figure out when it seemed to charge some times and not others.

So I got a new battery. Battery life oz still terrible, phone still can't detect battery health.
Not sure why, but my battery voltages are higher than 3.6 :/

Hate to tell you but it sounds like your Play is defective.
The only way it would always get hot like that is if it was always running, that would be mainly driven by being in a REALLY bad service area that its always searching. I have a boatload of games etc on mine and my battery life varies from 2 days to 3/4 of a day depending where I am. Heck my battery life varies as to whether I leave my phone on my desk at work or on the shelf above me (lasts longer on the shelf).
But the fact you said that even in airplane mode it eats the battery, and a new battery didn't do the trick. I would say you got a bad one. Still under warranty I hope?

i'm not entirely sure. I got mine through verizon in august or september of this year. Not sure if Verizon would handle replacing it, since I didn't buy their extended warranty. I read somewhere that SE themselves can handle it since it's not a year old yet, but my phone is kinda required for work.

[Q] defy battery got burning hot, phone turned off

Today while I was in a store and my Defy was in airplane mode, with the screen off in my back pocket - it got super-dooper hot - so hot I felt it through a gel case and my jeans.
I took it out and started to take off the case to get to the battery in a panic but by the time I got to it, the phone had already turned itself off (which is nice if that is some kind of safety feature).
It is a genuine, factory original motorola battery so this is not a problem with a fake battery - it was made in 2011.
Only thing I did recently was upgrade to CyanogenMod 7.2 on the 17th or so but I have been using it since then without problems.
Overclocking options are not on, I'm running with the stock Cyanogen cpu settings.
Airplane mode was on, gps was on, but that's it.
Remember, it wasn't doing anything, screen off in my pocket.
Any ideas? This was kinda scary - glad the phone shut down.
Is there any history of defective batteries from Motorola?

Maybe some program was running and loaded the cpu which drained the battery. The heat came from the cpu and the cpu is just next to the battery.
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk 2

Hmmm. Maybe, but when I yanked the battery out it was like a hot potato. Very very hot. I doubt the cpu could overheat it that thoroughly, more like it was being drained fast or possibly shorting?
I turn my phone on every morning from a cold start, the only program that was running was "MyTracks" (hence the gps being on)
I guess I'll keep an eye out for any problem reports with 7.2 on the Defy
It just worries me the times the phone is not in my pocket so I won't feel it overheating.
Is there any kind of app I can run that detects long periods of CPU use and shuts down the phone BEFORE the thermal trigger from the battery?
Does the Defy know it's own battery temperature by any chance? Maybe an app for that for the status bar?

I'm on CM 7.2 and my phone gets hot when I use 3G...

There's your potato burner Phone heats up a lot when GPS is on... On the top of that, you kept it in a gel case in your pocket on a (probably) hot day... What did you expect?

Thanks for all the ideas/feedback.
I turn the gps on every day and I have never had this hot battery problem before.
In fact it's on now while I test it and it's not even warm.
This was definitely an unusual event of some kind.
I just updated MyTracks in case there was some kind of bug fix.
As far as 3G, I do not have a sim in this phone (cannot afford any dataplan right now) and I keep it in airplane mode to keep the cell part off.

I found another similar report of the Defy strangely overheating the battery from last year:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1023423

I had this issue abt 2 weeks ago.... it was under my pillow and I went to grab it to check something n I had to let it go at once... I was on cm7.2, my guess was I had flashed so many Roms the day before and maybe the settings of CPU changed from 1 rom to another ... but did NT have this issue again so far .. now am on miui but never knew y it was burning hot zat day

Same problem here with cm 9; some days ago I found some stuck (blue) pixels on my device.no gps no wireless no data connectivity: it was the usb charger. It happened some months ago too and the stuck pixels disappeared but this time they are a lot....maybe I would put my device in freezer a night in order to recover my display ?_?

i'm still with the original phone (bought about a month ago). didn't change a thing, even not rooted.
a few days ago, was a hot day (about 32 c), same thing happen to me.
the phone was in my pocket in a rubber guard.
i guess it gets really hot in this protector... i took it down and waited a few minutes, then everything was alright.
i think this model might have some problem with overheating, so what i do is try not to leave it in the sun and take the guard on a hot day.

Thanks for your report, especially since it was stock - but I am sure it's not a regular "running hot" problem - because I have a very repetitive weekly routine and I've never had this burning hot problem before, never in a year.
Remember if they are in our pockets, the screen is off and typically programs are not running hard so the CPU should scale down to 300mhz, which should be very cool.
I installed this very basic and simple temperature monitor to put the temp in the status bar and so far I've never seen it go above 35c
http://www.appbrain.com/app/tempmonitor-lite/org.alldroid.apps.tempmonitorlite
It polls every 15 seconds which is all I need and no permissions.
Apparently the Defy only has a battery temp sensor and not a CPU temp sensor?
I'd like a better monitor with vibration alarm and a log but I am tired of all the overbearing apps with ads and "buy the pro version" nonsense and such.

Hi!
I used to have a CM7 with a chinese (really-really cheap) 1800mAh battery after the stock ROM (2.2 CEE); and I haven't experinced things like that. Mostly I measure the temp. with a widget (Elixir 2) and it was always below 35°C if I'm not wrong.

[Q] How to fix strange battery behavior?

Since last week I am experiencing a really strange behavior of my battery.
Sometimes my phone (in a random app) just vibrates, the screen goes black and then it reboots. After the reboot I have lost 40-50% battery life. Sometimes the phones isn't even able to complete the reboot because it spontaneously has too little power left. See attached screenshots.
Has anybody had similar problems? Or knows a solution?
About my setup: The problem seems to be not rom or kernel related. It occurs no matter what rom or kernel setting I am using. Currently I am running coool boy's 4.3 GE witch KT's kernel (no OC or UV).
Is it possible that the battery is physically damaged? I have NO IDEA...

Experiencing the same problem. I've flashed back to stock and still experiencing this. Phone randomly turning off, not starting, sudden battery drops. Driving me crazy.

I've seen the same sort of graph on my old i9000. You're not gonna like this, but it got worse over time, and eventually my battery wouldn't last more than 5 mins. I thought buying a new battery would help, but it didn't. When I sent it in to Samsung they said they would have to replace the entire motherboard...
I think it's got something to do with the motherboard not being able to correctly sense the battery voltage/whatever/%. The phone reboots automatically because it thinks the battery is flat (even though it isn't).
If you're under warranty I suggest sending it in soon... Hopefully it's not the same as what I had heh.

Well *#!$
I'll observate it for the next few days and see if it's getting worse...

If your phone is rebooting as opposed to just powering off, then I suspect it is hardware related (motherboard) as already mentioned.
I do hope I'm wrong though.
Maybe try using it for extended periods while plugged into a charger and see what happens. If it doesn't reboot then it may just be the battery.

Right as OP I'm suffering the same exact problem or there abouts. I've flashed back to stock rom, fully charged to 100% drained to 0% back to 100% yet still phone keeps shutting off randomly and the only way it works properly is with the charger plugged in. It's escalated quite badly with now after a few mins of YouTube turning itself off and not rebooting. I've requested a repair by o2 who I'm in contract with and see what will happen. I've heard crap stories about their repairs before taking it to Samsung.

I9500 owner. Had this exact same problem when using older firmware. After updating to the latest one, never had this issue again. Its been two months now, even more.
Try this. Flash the latest available firmware for you phone, not talking about OTA but the downloadable one from any region (whichever is latest for i9505). I guess it may have something to do with the kernel too.
Edit: wait a minute, why is your battery level going up when it isn't even charging in the second screenshot. Middle of the battery timeline. That's weird. I guess you should send the phone back

Thank you guys :good:
In the last few days the problem occurred more often. But now it is just shutting down (no reboot after vibrate) and after plugging it to the charger and restarting it sometimes I haven't lost any battery. Strange!
I fear there is nothing else to do than turning it in (warranty)

Same problem here. It started three days ago and today I'm barely able to use it... I'm still on warraty and I even have insurance, but it's a major inconvenience anyway.

Mines gone in for repair back to my carrier still no movement despite them having it for 2 days now really should have sent it back to Samsung directly. Will keep you guys posted.

Hey
I am new here.
but i was looking for information becuase my s4 9505i has the same problem
shuts of almost everytime i open apps too quickly or stream youtube or some other high usage apps etc.
battery drops up to 50 percent then back 40 percent then to 0 percent, the fact it that the phone never seems to know where the battery is.
by the way my phone is not rooted and i have done the factory reset a few times.
samsung... hmmm.. they seem to be real hard to talk to on the phone, i have had to call them 4 times already about the s4 i ahve had since june, and they just play me off like i am some kind of idiot etc. and deny that there is possibly any reason for random shutdowns, phone freezing, and now this battery/motherboard issue.
next bit is kinda stupid, the phone has a few internal scratches on it from when i ahve stupidly had the phone next to keys and all that. im sure they are going to try and void my warranty and say i have mistreated the phone...
had many phones before, maybe close to 50 and never, never, never have had to ring up a company to try and complain etc.....
any ideas.
I am in Australia,
I am thinking of trying the CONSUMER AFFAIRS kind of threats, but i have to word it the right way...

[Q] Nexus 4 sudden signal loss, battery drain and shutdown!

Hi all,
First post so go easy :angel:
I've had my N4 for about 18 months. Ever since 4.4.3 (now on 4.4.4 and nothings changed) I think I have been having some probelms.....I also dropped my phone around the time of the update so can't rule out a hardware problem, anyway....
On full charge the phone is, after a random amount of use perhaps around half battery, it drops signal completely....then it start goiing crazy, opening apps clicking on things (sometimes locks up) then shuts it's self off.
Once I turn it back on it says the battery is almost out.....even though before the crash it was at 50%???? (Please see imnage below for "cliff edge" on battery screen shot!)
I have tried safe mode, I have done a factory reset and removed all and any apps except facebook. Other symptoms include forgeting wifi and other account logins!
Also worth noteing I dropped it and smashed the screen, I then had it repaired and voided the warrenty (?) because I needed it same day for work.....dont know if thats connected was working fine for a while after this happened.
I have seen various posts of this forum and other about this kind of thing but no exact answers.....any help would be great 7 months until free new phone
Sudden drop is extreme right....

Re flash factory images for a full wipe, if it doesn't work after that then its probably hardware (sadly), maybe you could get a moto g? I've heard there really good and cheap.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

Sounds like something went wrong during the repair or drop and that this is a hardware issue. As suggested, try flashing full stock, but I am pretty sure this is a hardware problem, unfortunately.

Thanks guys .....Ive been doing as much reading as pos.
Some people are saying reather than the drop its maybe just a failed battery? thoughts?

It could definitely be a possibility. If you are up to it, you could purchase a new battery and try to replace it, there is just the risk of damaging something further.

Same thing is happening to my wifes NEXUS 4. Hers is a little over a year old now. It was dropped and I replaced the screen a few months ago, but ever since the new updates, her phone has been going CRAZY!
The phone randomly loses signal, battery drains quickly and apps open close (ghost touches) and then it shuts down.
I've cleared the cache, reset to factory defaults and even run in safe mode and nothing. The phone is useless now, she maybe gets 2 hours of normal use out of it before it goes completely nuts again.

One of us should roll back to 4.2.2. and report the result

Facing similar issues. Have posted it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/fast-battery-discharge-t2799931/post53790262?nocache=1
Any solutions?

I am waiting for a new battery. Try rollback to 4.2.2.

ITs same on my phone after an 4.4.3 update teh N4 gone rogue before the update it was working just fine I just did factory reset got back to 4.2.1 android and its doing the same

Just to keep you up to speed...I suspect it may be the battery....or perhaps power management issue/conflict??
Trick is if I keep my battery charge above 60-65% it's fine......get below that and the trouble start.....weird. hvaing said that seems to drain faster than normal also. My hope are pinned on battery solution once Rajnus trys it.
Although not looking foward to taking phone apart to replace it

Today after the first symptom I rebooted phone and after reboot my battery was at 14%. It looks like to me that we have constant drain but system some how is not registering it properly. I will restart after every 10%
Edit: 85% ->reboot -> 57%

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one suffering from this issues as well. I replaced my screen and digitizer about 3 months ago and never had issues. Last week I updated from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 (and 4.4.4 shortly after) and started having the same issues where there would be ghost touches on the screen once I got to around 70% battery, loss of radio/signal, and when I would restart the phone, I would lose majority of the battery charge. I tried flashing stock back on the phone and the problem still is present.

Just to repeat that is exactly what is happening to me word for word.
