ARGGGGGG!...it happend happened! (Pull out phone from pocket...its off!)

I am on my third Vibrant from Bell Mobility. I returned the first two because of the same problem. I would be using the phone like normal, and at random times I go to make a call or something, and notice that the phone is turned off! On my last 2, i couldn't turn it back on using the power button, so i would re-install the battery to get it working again (until it would happen again a day or two later).
Well, today it happened for the first time on my third vibrant (on the 2nd day after i had it). This time, i decided to hold the power button for about 10 seconds...and the phone restarted (didn't re-install battery like i used to).
What could be causing this? I thought it was a defect in the phone, but this is the third one to do it. It happens randomly (sometimes every 3rd day, sometimes everyday). Anyone know what it could be? Could the phone just be 'frozen' in sleep mode? (meaning the phone is still on, just the screen is frozen black)...or could the phone actually be off? Thanks in advance!

Have you done any mods to your phone? Rooted? Custom rom? If you're rooted, are you using SetCPU?

The only time that I had this happen to me was using SetCPU, after reading about it if you let it go down to 100mhz in sleep mode it shuts down? After restarting and not having SetCPU on boot, I have not had this happen again.... Hope that helps

Did u get a new battery every time or is it the same battery it might not be the phone but ur battery

Definitely odd occurance then.

My friend had the exact same issue with the Samsung Captivate. He is on his 2nd one, but the issue's started on the 3rd day. AT&T told him it was a battery issue, I guess they had a defective batch. Try to get them to swap a new battery from the store to see if that fixes the issue.
I have been using my vibrant non stop and not had a single issue. I guess its just bad luck on your part.

New battery everytime. Strange strange

Really weird...could be a combination of apps or a bad app...you tried without installing any apps yet

Do you have a task killer set on auto kill ? I have noticed when I raised my auto kill harshness sometimes it must have killed a fatal process. I lowered the harshness and it hasn't happened yet

This has happened to me. I'm pretty sure the phone is frozen in sleep mode. Not sure exactly what app caused it, but it only happened one other time. I've removed some apps I wasn't using and it hasn't happened since. Who knows which one was the culprit.

Had the same problem with my first Vibrant from Bell as well, they know about the issue and say they have no fix other than to swap the handset out for a new one. My second handset has been fine for a week now.

Let's compare apps
Some of us are having problems with our Captivate randomly shutting down also. AT&T technical support thinks it could be apps that we've installed. Could they be right? My replacement device didn't start shutting down again after 3-4 days of owning it. By that time, I have already installed some favorite apps. Here's my list. Let's compare and figure this out. It's just a theory. Can't hurt.
<<<< OMG! While typing this new thread to turn on my phone so I can see the list of apps I have installed, MY PHONE TURNED OFF ON ME! WHAT THE...!!! >>> Anyway...

The ones we have in common are adobe reader and google maps. I installed adobe reader last night and it happened this morning for the first time. Could that be the culprit?

Anything is possible at this point

just to help, I will install adobe reader on my phone and see what happens, I have no issue what so ever, I do have google maps, so let's see what happens with adobe reader

I vote an app causing the problem.

Sorry guys, I have been having the same problem and the only app I have that is the same as that list is Google Maps... and I don't really think that is it.
But it is probably "app" related, in the sense that there is a cache issue or something possibly stock with the phone goes occasionally haywire. It is very random, has been very hard to find any pattern.
It was happening to me only when it was charging, but then yesterday it happened when it was not plugged in. Seems to roughly occur ever other day or so.
Does make the phone not so reliable as an alarm clock, as I recently discovered

Hard reset and don't install ****. Anything. Just let the phone stock for a few days if its fine, its a app.
I had a game called hero of Sparta that wigged my phone out bad. Had to delete that puppy.

Mediaserver + SD card = 100% CPU (HELP!!)

Ok this is driving me off the wall. The process called "mediaserver" is using 100% of my CPU time even while the screen is off. It forces my phone to go to max clock the whole time.
When I unmount my sd card (which has music, files, etc) it goes back to 0% instantly and the CPU clocks down to normal. The SECOND I remount it, BAM it goes back to using 100% of my CPU. The battery drain is incredible.
I have googled the issue and there are several single post threads with no response or solution.
Can someone please help me?

It was happening on virtuous and ultimatedroid. And from the above post we can see that it is happening on CM too. It is not app related. Ending everything using a task manager and/or restarting the phone doesn't fix. I did a complete wipe of data/chache/davik before flashing roms.
Simply put, if your sd card has media on it (music, pics, etc), mediaserver will go nuts.
Hoping the awesome people at x-da can help us out!

I just got the 32 GB SD card yesterday and the same thing started happening to me today. I did a factory reset, different roms, back to normal and it still is happening. My verizon extended battery lasted about 5 hours today...and it was unusually hot as well. Does this happen to others on smaller SD cards?

I had this problem a while back. Turns out it was a corrupt movie file. Something vlc played fine, but the media scanning app hated and drained my battery every 3 hours for two days until I figured it out.
Remove all media from your sd card, pics, movies, music and see what happens. Add it back slowly. If that is the problem.
Another potential issue is a corrupt sd card. You can try reformatting it or scanning it for bad sectors, but my guess is that its a bad file.

Mediaserver is an app not part of the OS so just uninstall it. It hasn't been updated for Froyo anyway judging from whats on the market.

phone randomly reboot / force close

I picked my Nexus S up this am as the store opened at 9am. I powered it on and away it went it had all of my apps dl in minutes.I had to go into work so I just let it charge on my car charger. Got to work and went to start Cardio trainer ( which is an app I use daily for about 3-5 hours per day) it immediately force closed. Force closes each time I try and use it. So i sent message to dev. The next thing I know I get a message saying that Beautiful Widgets geolocation is getting false reading from the GPS and it force closes. The GPS has been spotty. When first initiated it took over 10 minutes to get a lock. Turned it off and tried again and it took 7 minutes. The third time it was about 15 seconds and since then it alternates back and forth from almost instant to minutes again. What concerns me is that the accuracy just bounces back and forth from 32.6 ft to 16.3 ft and anywhere in between and really never stabilizes. This may be normal for this type GPS systems(I don't know) Also I have the old market and cannot find a link for the new market.Wasn't Gingerbread suppose to come with the new market? So far I am impressed with the smoothness of the system but not with the GPS. Also the lInpack scores are lower than on the Vibrant. Appears to be very solid. Anyone else have any of these problems?

It sounds like a GPS problem with your device, Just get it swapped mate

I've only had FCs using the new google maps so far.

Random FC for me in maps, market and gallery :-/

ive yet to experience a FC

Cardio trainer is not working for me either, I am wondering if the dev's need to update it for 2.3, I also can't get vlingo to work.

phone randomly goes to boot animation screen
Ok, so it appears something is wrong with my phone. Every once in a while, i'll look down on my phone or in the middle of doing something, and it will go to the boot animation screen. Most of the time, the boot animation screen is dimmer than on normal start up. It will eventually go back to the ui, which I will then have to restart my phone because it won't connect to wifi or 3g.
Anyone else had this problem? Think it's worthy of getting a replacement from bestbuy or a glitch that should be fixed with an ota?

I haven't seen anything like this yet, though I suppose I don't keep my eye on my phone constantly, so I suppose it could have happened while I wasn't looking. No WiFi or 3G problems, either.
Sounds like you've got a serious issue there if you're seeing it a lot, though. I would get it replaced. Unless you're running a third-party ROM or some other non-stock mod, in which case dump it first and see if the problem is being caused by that.

Yea I had this happen twice. At gym was changing a track with Bluetooth headphones and went to dimmer bootscreen had to pull battery. And another time I had to reapply all my Widgets on my homescreen. I'm on CM7 rom

Are you using a custom ROM/kernel/SetCPU? Those problems sound like the ones the D1 has when it's clocked past a stable speed.

I'd look at the software you've added since the phone was purchased as the first primary suspect. Weird widgets, background services, live wallpapers, background syncing app, something like that...
You'd want to wipe/reset the phone before a return anyways, so why not do a factory wipe/reset from the settings/privacy menu, then start off with a fresh phone (software wise)? Be conservative in what apps you install at first, and check for stability; then slowly add back the stuff you'd have one by one and see which app from the Market causes the glitch.
I think that's a bit more fair to Samsung, Best Buy, and whoever ends up with the device as a refurb, than returning what is probably not bad hardware to the store.

Hmmm...and you don't think the fact that you're using ALPHA level firmware that is known to have some bugs in it, might be your problem?
I'd expect that kind of thing with CM as long as it's alpha, and even beta. I wouldn't be surprised with it even on the RC versions. It's experimental until Team Douche releases an actual ready-for-prime-time version.

Are you using a custom ROM/kernel/SetCPU?

Random Reboots, we call it on the SGS (samsung galaxy s) side
hoping for the best, it is not the same deadly problem we found on some of the 16GB SGS phones, that eventually lead to the corruption / destruction of the internal SD
but those were the signs.
so i'm really hoping that is not the same problem, else i'll really be pissed with Samsung to produce yet another crappy phone with cheap internal parts.
it should not be, as i saw pictures of the innards of the SNS (samsung nexus s) and it was clearly showing SandDisk for the 16GB internal SD

Random Reboots
A couple of times I've had the Nexus S reboot, once when I was in the middle of a call and once again as I was messing around with the settings.
I'm running 2.3.1, th latest build GRH78, does anyone have an idea as to why the random reboots are occurring?

[Q] Android System is draining my battery a lot since I updated my phone to Kitkat

Before the update everything was fine. Now if I turn on the screen or listen to music the phone would awake (it would show that it was asleep in jellybean). When I turn off the screen and I am not listening to music then my phone falls asleep. Android system used to be awake under 20 mins over a 15-30 hr span now it can be well over an hour in 4-9 hr span. I did a factory reset yesterday already, uninstalled all of my apps and reinstalled them when I seen that the problem still exist. I googled the problem, but can't find a solution. Is anyone else getting a Android System battery drain like me.

Yes, I am having the same problem. I was told to do a factory reset but I cant even back up my phone with kies because it the MTP driver keeps failing to install and Kies says I have to use Kies 3 even though the Samsung Site says 3 is for the Galaxy Note..
Did you sideload your update or was it OTA?

oh wow. You definitely have an app that is not liking kitkat. Your phone does not fall asleep when you turn your screen off. Im really trying to figure out why your phone is doing that. Im going to assume that "lookout" and "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware" are the problem. My opinion is that you don't need those as much as you think you do. they are most likely the cause of your drainage. My phone falls asleep as soon as i turn off the screen. Now i have 90% battery life with almost an hr of SOT left, and thats on 4g LTE the entire time.

I had alot of problems when on wifi, don't use it anymore and sticking with 4g. I'm at 30% left with just over 4 hours screen on. I'm guessing it's something either Google or Samsung have syncing more often on wifi, on wifi I'd be dead at 3 or 4 hours screen on time

Thats interesting. I haven't used my phone on wifi yet, because its a little inconsistent right now. If your phone is acting up while connected to wifi then it got to be something on samsung's end. You can end up with just over 5 and a half hrs of SOT if you stick to 4g and don't want any problems. I would keep testing how things go on both wifi and 4g over the next couple of days if i were you to see if the problems continues though. What problems are you getting while connected to wifi?

Another one of the major problems I am having is that sometimes my apps don't work. When i clicked on the camera it did not show up the app opens but the camera does not turn on. This leads to a major lag and when I try to press the home button it does not work. Then my phone's screen just shuts off and I cant turn it back on via the home button or the power button.
This also leads to the phone getting hot and losing the battery very quickly..
oh and btw the S5 does not seem to impressive to me..

i reset the phone and didn't install any apps and come to find out that its something that is already on the phone. I had no apps on my phone and android system and android os were in the top three that was taking up a lot of battery.

I recently had an issue with Android OS draining a lot of battery. I read somewhere that disabling stuff from Google sync that you don't use can help, so I disabled sync for all Google services except the ones I use, such as contacts, calendar, app data, people details, and play books. I rebooted and watched my battery for the next couple of days. And it worked. My battery life is a lot better, and Android OS is not using nearly as much battery as it did before. Perhaps this will help you guys?

***UPDATE on HOW TO FIX***
I HAD terrible batt drain with nae.. so bad that i left the device on the charger overnight qnd woke up to 35% batt... i got mad and reflashed stockish v6.. but.. batt drain was the same...
so.. here is what i did... i ended up flashing negalite r6 and the batt was so bad my phone would be dead within 1hr.. SO, FOR KICKS, i reflashed the MK2 modem and HOLY COW!, problem solved!!
im currently on negalite r6 ( a nae rom ) but using the mk2 modem and my batt drain problems are gone. in fact im getting great batt life. i didnt change the kernal or anything. i have flashed ktoonsez kernal over it, and it has not effected batt life at all...
in conclusion, if ur batt life sux, try reflashing mk2 modem.. it worked for me.. and yes 4g, mms, calls, and wifi work without any problem...
hope this helps

New software update makes the phone heat a lot

It would be ok to share more details on the update itself, phone, when was the update, for how long it is already heated, do you have an SD Card or not, a lot of files on the phone (Music, Photos, PDF's, documents)?...
It's probably the IndexService process running, or there is an app that causing the phone to over process and use the full power of the CPU. Let it alone for a couple of hours and see if there's a change. If not and you have an SD, remove it. If that doesn't work, delete all the files in the internal and on the SD card (WITHOUT FORMATTING! ONLY DELETING! ) and see if that solved the problem. If you have rolled all the options above, and non of them worked for you, you should search for an app that causes all of that. If no app was found, format the phone.
Good luck

Also, what carrier, and what update version? That would be useful info, if nothing else, to help others who are reading.

I'm in airplane mode. Used WiFi then turned off the WiFi and screen. Seems like an app must be freaking out and chewing up CPU cycles. Turn off the device for a bit and it is still hot for a little while, eventually starts cooling down though.
Kind of crazy...
Traveling without a local SIM, hence airplane mode toggling WiFi on/off. Too hard to recall what apps I was in/out of...
If I had root, could probably figure it out.......

That has happened to me once. I just turned it off and back one completely. And it was back to business as usual. Must be some bug.
