Hi guys,
Not exactly the most positive of first posts but here we go. There's a problem with my phone that I can't find the solution for...
Essentially my phone randomly turns itself off (no power down sequence, almost as though the battery's being taken out if you know what I mean) and then it has difficulty in fully booting again. For some reason it also likes to revert my wallpaper back to the original as stock.
The first thing that I thought of was malware, with the wallpaper - so I tried a couple of anti-malware apps to no avail. As my device was rooted, I then flashed back to stock, locked and unrooted it and checked the behaviour. Again to no avail (then again I've never rooted/unrooted so this may have been done incorrectly). By the looks of it, the worst case scenario is a problem with battery connections/hardware...
So the question is have you guys come across this before? Is there a solution to this or is Google/LG going to have to give me a replacement?
Many Thanks.
Weird, I just had this happen couple hours ago, I was watching a video and close the app. I press the power button to put it to sleep. Just like 20 second later, I press the power to wake it and it don't do anything. I had to hold the power button to turn it on. I check the battery status afterward and it looks like it drop between 5-10 percent in the chart after it turn on. The battery must have failed or something. This also happen to my wife phone couple weeks back, although she had to do a hard reset(power+volume up and down) it have not happen again though.
Hello
First of all, welcome to XDA community!
Now, have you done anything with your phone? As in, root it? Flashed custom kernel? Flashed custom ROM? We would love to help, but you need to provide us what we need

Okay, here's what I had done when this all started:
- Rooted and unlocked.
- TWRP custom recovery
- Standard Kernel, no custom ROM.
I've reverted as much of this back to stock as possible through a nexus tool-kit, but it still has the issue. If I'm missing anything out let me know.

Did this happen before you had the phone rooted? Also did this happen one time only or happened multiple times? I also had this problem, but just turning off and not turning back on part. But that was only one time event and I believe it was because of the custom kernel.

This started yesterday, and I rooted it as soon as I got it 2 weeks ago, so I don't think the root has caused any issues. It's now happening rather often, to the point where it's unuseable

That's odd. Did you download any apps recently that might've caused this issue? Maybe root apps?

The only 2 apps that I downloaded the day before were cerberus and titanium backup, both of which are well known. Either way they were the day before the problems started.

Doubt that these will cause any issues, but could you try uninstalling Cerberus just in case? Thanks

Well, after completely reverting the phone back to its stock version and pretty much everything else, it's still doing it - which surely points to a problem with the chip (or something). So, I've contacted google about a replacement and so far so good - got through in 5 minutes and sorted out the RMA and everything, should be delivered in the next few days.
Thanks for the help anyway. I'm going to avoid rooting this one for the time being to see how it behaves.
I experienced "random shutdowns" and even posted about it here. Turns out it was my belt holster that was somehow the culprit. I don't know if it was mashing some weird button sequence to turn off the phone, or if the magnet interfered or something else, but as soon as I got it out of that holster I had no more random shutdowns.
I doubt yours is the same problem but I thought I'd post mine.

Funny I had the same thing happen to me last night. I was using the phone put it down for a minute or two and then could not wake the phone. What was interesting was when I couldn't get it to turn on I plugged in into the charger and let it sit for a few hours. When I was finally able to restart it using the the power, vol button the battery was at the same level before the incident. In other words whatever happened prevented the battery from being charged. I am stock and rooted and haven't loaded any new apps in over 2 weeks

I have almost the same problem as the op but I do have a shut down sequence. It does randomly shut down itself. The first thing I got the phone I rooted it and it was fine working on modaco for 2 weeks then one day it kept shutting down upon boot until like 10 tries later I successfully got back in but lasted only a few mins and sometimes hours. Im gonna rma this pos and I hope I can get it replaced soon. I try it with stock rom and kernel then modaco with stock kernel then modaco with faux kernel. Same problem.
I had these problems earlier ... I just gave HARD RESET by pressing power key for more than 5 sec.
Then i figured, it was due to Undervolting ! and Processor going to a DEEP SLEEP all together !
So i removed UVing and it was cool since then ! ... Although my signature says the rest !
I bought my N4 about 2 weeks ago, and it has turned itself off 3 of the nights I've had it. I don't have any hard evidence, but I have a theory on why it's doing it.
At first I thought it was because I used a Motorola usb cord instead of the stock cord because I read some people's theories on the internet, but it happened again (twice) after using the stock cord.
It seemed like it only shut off if I left WiFi turned on when I went to sleep (even then it was still a random occurrence). I went into my advanced WiFi settings and noticed Wi-Fi Optimization was turned on with the text "Minimize battery usage when Wi-Fi is on". I thought it might be the problem, so I turned it off. I left WiFi on last night, and the phone was still on in the morning. Again, it is still a random occurrence even with WF on, so I'm going to leave WF on at night for a few days/weeks and see if it happens again. I'll post back with results.
If anyone else has already tried this or has figured out a solution, let me know.
The same happens several times a week with my nexus 4 running latest cyanogenmod. I will revert it to clean stock in a few days to see how it goes. I don't think that is a hardware problem but time will tell.

Don't know if anyone is keeping up or cares, but I wanted to update and say that this did not fix the problem. 4.2.2 also did not fix the problem. I guess I could try getting a new one from Google.
My wife and I are both having this problem. Hers is completely stock, I'm unlocked and rooted. I was hoping it would be fixed with 4.2.2, but if it hasn't then it maybe time to get replacement N4s
I can't imagine this issue is very widespread, since there have only been a few threads about it. Its a big nuisance especially because it usually happens at night when I'm expecting my alarm to go off at night.
I hadn't wanted to send for replacements since it seems like a software issue but I'm getting fed up.

Just had this problem occur with my N4 last night..... Phone is 2 weeks old.
Went to bed, plugged in the phone to charge [it was at about 50% or so, so not exactly low].
Woke up at 8.30 wondering why my alarm didn't go off at 7.30.... looked over and the phone was off.
It also didn't want to turn back on either. Took about a minute of holding in the power button for various amounts of time before it finally kicked to life [at 100% charge too].
This is going to be a real problem if this problem reoccurs. At home I have a clock radio but I travel a lot and rely on my phone to wake me up!
Here's hoping we can start to identify what is causing this issue. All I can add is that it is not low-battery related.
As stated in the sig. Phone is unlocked/rooted with stock rom.

I've been having the sleep of Death since I got my atrix I never use wifi so it can't be that it many happens whilst browsing the Internet once finished I lock phone leave come back to it say 5 minutes later and I can't wake the fone so I have to pull the battery out to get it started
Dose anyone else have the happen to them iv tried reset full flash but it's still there
And could I ask what FakeBlurXmppApp.apk is because since I renamed it I ant had a sod?
I think renaming is the reason of problem if it is the only change you did to phone.
Stock roms usually don't have problems like that.
Sorry for not giving you a real help.

Na once I renamed it stopped going into sod
I had the same issue with my Motorola Photon 4G, people are having this issue, I don't understand why it keep doing this, how stupid?
The first time this happened to me I just plugged it in around 60% and went to bed and when I woke up in the morning there was nothing. Even taking the battery out and putting it back in, only the LED cokes on briefly but Jo other signs of booting and the only way I fixed it was by plugging it into a computer, or as I found out the second time an XBOX 360 so I'm thinking just something with a data connection, and pulling it out as soon as the LED flashes green then plugging it into the wall charger. Then the phone came up with the battery charging screen at 0%. After it charged I booted up like normal and it was fine for awhile until one time it died and I had to repeat the process to get it to come back up.
Send it in for a replacement, i had two do this to me and both ended up going out. They were unlocked but once they went out AT&T could not tell.
are you on a stock rom or custom rom? before calling for a new one try flashing 1.2.6 sbf and reroot and unlock the bootloader again.it wont say unlocked when you first flash the sbf reboot and reroot but it still is, itll say the boot loader is already unlocked when you go to unlock it thats fine just reboot and itll be back at the top. im saying this cause i had a similar problem and i couldnt turn the phone on or charge it at all i ended up using a different atrix to charge my battery when i turned it on it was stuck at the dual core boot logo. flashing this sbf fixed my brick and the no charging problem but youll be on the earliest firmware for the phone and have to redo all the rooting process. its worth a try and if it doesnt work then send it back.hope this helps.
I no don't think FakeBlurXmppApp.apk is making my phone sod as I've had it twice today its driving me nuts I don't no what's making it happen in another got no apps installed
Root/unlock causes this
I can tell you the issue is caused by either the unlocking of the bootloader or rooting. I unlocked, rooted, and installed a custom rom my 1st stock atrix and had this issue. I also had a hardware defect with the front camera lens so i returned it to stock via sbf prior to returning it. The problem disappeared. My new atrix worked perfect and after a couple days I unlocked and rooted but left the stock rom. Guess what, sleep of death returned, sbf to stock everything is fine. BTW I was using romracers recovery. So Im not sure if its rooting or unlocking or romracers recovery but it is one of the three. Hope that helps.

i also have similar issues. it has some thing to do with deep sleep mode..as long as phone does not go in to deep sleep as son as screen is off the problem never happens.
so i tried wifi wizard and advanced wifi lock apps from market.wifi wizard switches on wifi when ever the screen is on. advanced wifi lock prevents phone from going into deep sleep.you can set a timeout.this works like a charm.i rarely get sod.

Rooting isn't the cause. My first Atrix was rooted & I never had that problem. My second Atrix started right awaywith the SOD, shortly after the OTA update.
And I'm my opinion, unlocking is absolutely necessary. If I hadn't unlocked my previous Atrix so that my backup applications and data syncing would work properly, I would have really been screwed. But every other day my phone backs up my data and once I'm home, uploads out to my home pc.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
May be a little premature, but my current Atrix was have SOD & random reboot issues. I had given up & ordered a replacement. However, I changed the screen time out to never & I haven't had a freeze or reboot yet. I'm on day two & I've made a point to turn my wifi on and off. Hope this solves the problem. Guess I'll know if I make it through next week with no freezes.

i bought my atrix within one month of the launch I have always had the sod it has nothing to do with the rom although some roms will make it not happen as much my wife got her atrix like in September and she has never had sod. i just put up with it i plan to leave att once my contract is up
EDIT... reminds me to see if it is up don't remember if its one or 2 yrears
SOD Fix
I was SOD free being rooted, BL unlocked, running rom racers recovery, CM7 then Neutrino 2.6 then my phone decided format its internal partition on me. My phone is back up running now and I was getting the SOD a couple times a day. I fixed it by following 1chris89's fix here. I've been SOD free so far on day two running an OC kernel. 1chris89's fix a bit involved, editing the build.prop file, and based on cm7 flavored ROMS, changing the performance settings. Be careful when messing with the build.prop file and make a backup before attempting! Check out Xploited's guide here for a less involved method to fix your SOD. Hope these help!
OK! But... where can I find this "cm7 performance menu"?

I'm on Neutrino 2.6, to get to it I have to put a short cut on one of my home screens. First long press on your home screen and choose shortcut then choose cyanogenmod settings then choose performance settings.
would if i cannot even get into my phone to change the settings. Can someone with skillz put it into something that i can flash [1chris89's fix]?
it my just be a hardware issue for me also, but i did just get my know back from Motorola with a new screen installed.
When my phone does the SoD I can place a call to it, let it ring a few times, and then hang up. My display turns on and I can get get to the launcher to reboot the phone.
The SoD seems to get worse when I'm using the Bluetooth connection to my Sync system in my truck.
Hi all,
I'm experiencing an issue on my stock 4.1.1 Nexus 7. The screen seems to be turning itself on randomly. It normally turns off again but may toggle on/off quite a few times. Then it seems to go for a while whitout turning on. Bit odd.
Anyone else experienced this or have any thoughts on a reason for it?
Thanks
Same problem here, except with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I just updated to 4.1.1 today and this is the first time I've seen it happen. Was previously on 4.02 without issues.
I have had the same problem. It seems to happen in the evening and I wondered whether the case was causing it to overheat. Seems to be OK when I take it out of the case. I phoned Google and was told that it hadn't happened before. I will contact them again if it doesn't get any better.
Sorry. Misread the post. Mine goes to sleep, not turns on

Same here but mine is not exactly stock.
I have installed Apex Launcher plus numerous apps. I thought maybe it was the launcher doing it. But at this point... I have no idea. Just noticed it tonight coming on and then going off within 1 sec. but its random. it may do it once within an hour, or it may do it up to 5 times within a min... then go several minutes completely black screen. Crazy stuff. I thought maybe it was getting a message at first but then realized I had the WiFi off on my phone so it was dead to any incoming messages/wifi. I am really curious as to what is causing it and will be following this post as well as others quite frequent. Also.... the latest app that I have downloaded was OSMOS HD. it wasn't waking then sleeping before that app... just my 2 cents.
Hi Qbensis,
By stock, I just mean not rooted and not running any custom firmware. I had various apps and the like installed.
I have actually since rooted my N7 and installed a few custom ROMs and since then have not seen the issue at all. If you want to stay stock, I assume the issue will be fixed in the next update
I have seen this a few times. Middle of the night I look over and the screen is on then off. I check the power usage overnight and I see little blips of screen on when looking at the graph. Not sure whats causing it (I figure a app).
Same Problem over here, any solutions???
I'm on stock 4.1.2 and having the same problem, not rooted. Creeped me out in the middle of the night when it goes on and off.
N7 Random Turn On
Same here on 4.2.1. I carry in front pocket all the time with screen facing leg and feel heat when it happens. Has even done it when in Power Off mode and still does it. I thought that would prevent it for sure. Very irritating and drains battery. We Winter in 55+ community and drive around in golf carts. I am starting to wonder if WiFi spots trigger it. Will continue to track behavior and search other forums. Curious that there have not been any solid suggestions or solutions.
Happens to my rooted but stock 4.2.1. It happens randomly when I recharge using a battery pack (4AA) as opposed to charging using regular AC. It's annoying as heck! I don't know how to get this fixed!
I've been getting this on both SmoothROM and raspbeanjelly, and it's very irritating.
It has to be an app that is causing this. I initially thought perhaps it was GPS Status, because I caught it in the notification bar a few times when the screen turned on.
My device definitely isn't hot when it happens.
I'm suspecting the Email app, Maps, or Facebook.
EDIT - not any of them either. I'll test Beautiful Widgets next.
Okay guys, try this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29420959&postcount=7059
I'd been suffering from this for weeks, factory reset, reinstalled and changed out ROMs, installed apps one by one over the course of several days to keep an eye on what might be triggering it etc. Nothing worked for more than 2-3 days at most, and the issue always came back in one way or another.
It was causing me to have to turn the Nexus off when not in use because it would be draining battery (15-20% overnight compared to 2-3% when the issue wasn't present).
Then I stumbled upon that guide and using Gemini I disabled Maps from auto-running, turned off Latitude, and so far so good.
If it works for you too, be sure to hit thanks on Karpfenhai's post!
I was having this same problem on my Nexus 7 running stock 4.2.2 rooted with SuperSU. Finally tracked it down to having installed BetterBatteryStats and for some reason, I had not granted it perpetual root. It was causing the device to wake and turn the display on for random times (up to 13 hours, which killed the battery), not always showing the SU request dialogue. I granted perpetual SU privilege to BetterBatteryStats and problem went away.
Try taking out the battery and clean out the USB port with a toothpick. This worked for me. All the dust that accumulates in the post can cause the phone to think it's charging.
Hi all,
My first post here and I'm posting it at a pretty depressing mood.
I've just bought my phone from the states and brought it back to Hong Kong for my own use. Last night, I've been toying it for a couple hours with everything going perfectly fine, but suddenly the phone turned itself off. Everytime I try to turn it on the phone just turns itself back off again. I couldn't do anything.
Has anyone come across the same problem? I've done a hard reset but to no avail, the phone still shuts down right after turning on, it's pretty frustrating to turn on your phone just to see it telling you it's turning off, really frustrating tbh.
I've called google and requested for a replacement so problem's kinda solved for the moment. I just want to know if I'm alone here because I've pressed the operator a couple times and she refused to tell me if mine was an isolated incident or not, for obvious reasons.
I haven't done anything to the phone except installing a couple apps like Aldiko, whatsapp, facebook and a Chinese keyboard (since I'm Asian apparently). I've installed all of them in my old phone and none of them caused any problems so I just want to know if I'm alone and what do you guys think the root of the problem is, or solutions to it if there are any.
Thanks a lot!

Mine is happening the samething, glad Im not alone. My was running fine on rooted Modaco custom rom for a few weeks then all of sudden the phone auto shut down like it has its mind. I installed Cantonese keyboard and camera mod too and some other apps. Currently Im tracking down the source. Now I have franco kernel and madaco rom on clean install running with no other app install to see if it will shut down or not. If it does Im going back to stock to see if samething happen.
I have to boot it couple times until it doesnt shut down itself anymore. Sometimes it be stable for couple hours or couple minutes or instantly.
I have the same problem, Just got my phone from google everything is stock nothing has been changed and the phone just turns it self off and then i cant turn it back on for sometime.
Does anyone know what causing this problem?
Mine also turns off multiple times a day, sometimes by itself, sometimes during a call, often when taking a picture.
Today every single time I took a picture it would shut down.
I'm f*cking pissed at waiting 5 weeks to get a useless phone... and god know how long it will take to get a replacement if I ca get one.
Hi guys, I have the same problem too
I've used my Nexus 4 for 2 weeks without any kind of problem when suddenly it turned itself off. If I try to turn it on, the phone just turns itself back off again and I haven't solved the problem even with a reset.
But I've noticed that the battery doesn't charging even with the charging cable. I think the phone detects that hasn't enough battey level and for that reason turns itself back off.
Do you think it can be an harware or software problem?
Damn - i have recently been having the same problem! It only happens (so far) when i'm charging the phone overnight. I wake up and it's off and takes a few tries to get it running again. I'm rooted with stock. Does this mean we all need replacements? Ugh!

The exact same thing happened to me as well. I charged it overnight, unplugged it and it was off. I couldn't even turn it on again - I had to keep holding the power button for ~15 seconds plus try plugging/unplugging the phone to the charger etc. and it finally powered on. I orginally thought it may have been a kernel issue since I had just flashed Franco r29. However, looking at his thread, nobody had that issue.
I'm glad I'm not alone but this issue really worries me, especially if it is a hardware fault. Google will replace it but I don't feel like going through the fuss since God knows when the replacement will arrive. I hope this get's 'magically' fixed as it has only happened to me once so far.

You know, I'm looking at my battery history (using battery monitor) and i see the period that the phone was shut down and then when i powered it back up this morning and i notice the battery temp is extremely high so it probably has to do with the phone shutting down due to overheating, which obviously shouldn't happen. I wasn't using the oem charger, so I'll switch to that for the time being and keep an eye on temp. Hopefully it's a software bug and not a faulty battery because it should definitely be cutting off charging when it reaches 100%.

Hi,
I don´t know what to do. I got my phone 2 days ago. All fine. Rooted right away and used only adfree and titanium backup to restore apps.
Today out of the blue my phone shuts down. When I reboot it shuts down again right after Android booted up. Every time!
Can´t use it at all!
Tried reflashin factory und relocking but still it shuts of right after start of Android. I can get to bootloader and wipe in recovery all day. That works but as soon as android boots up it shuts down again once you reach the lockscreen.
Guess my phone has a failure but I wanted to ask here first before returning it.
And honestly I did not do something kernel or rom or OC.
Can't tell you on the N4, but my vivid, anytime it started to do what you're describing, I had to re-flash the boot.img and reinstall the ROM to stop the boot loops.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I already did a factory reste via image flash. Still no good. Once you reach the lockscreen it shuts down "powering off"
temperature issue?, there must be some hardware fault that's forcing it to shutdown after all services are loaded or a issue with battery stats.I would restore it and rma, or somehow drain the battery then recharge it

Mine is doing the exact same thing. I have returned it to bone stock but no change. Will try to drain the battery but it might take days with just the recovery /bootloader screen on!
OP: were you able to fix yours?

Mine is doing the exact same thing. I have returned it to bone stock but no change. Will try to drain the battery but it might take days with just the recovery /bootloader screen on!

Hi,
I did the same.....drained battery but afterwards it would not charge again all i got was a red LED and no hint to fix it helped me. Phone is completely dead.
I already ordered a replacement unit and am still waiting for it
Same deal with mine. It worked fine for 6 weeks, it was completely stock the entire time. I have sent it away for RMA.

Also, when I told the CSR what it was doing they had absolutely no hesitation to process the RMA, they didn't even suggest a factory reset, I'm assuming this must be a known issue.
Same issue/ diff reason
I have the same issue with starting up the phone and automatic shut down.
I dropped mine in the water, however. Nothing seems to be wrong with it other than this auto shut down.. I was thinking that the battery was possibly fried. I ordered a new one to see if that would fix it.
Mine is also rooted too, however. This was the issue of the above original post. If there is a solution for either of my issues, I would greatly appreciate it.
thanks!

Hey dude this the new battery work? exactly the same issue here.
Nexus 4 shutdown after boot
Hey guys
I tried replacing the battery and the issue still persists and also tried a few different roms including stock but it does the same thing.
My N4 is not under warranty any more. Has anyone got this issue fixed...??
Phone keeps turning off! Never while using it & sometimes when phone is not moving.
I have an LG-D801 running 4.4.2 kernal 3.4.0 and software D80120a. I also have and use TWRP for recovery. Ever since I rooted my phone and installed this rom, everything has been perfect! That was about 4 months ago. I have and use lots of apps, most of which I have been using for years without any issues. Lately I have been finding my phone off in my pocket for some reason. It now is happening maybe 6-10 times a day which is really getting annoying.
The LG G2 battery doesn't come out so not like it got loose. I have tested it by sitting on the desk lightly and checking it later to STILL find it turned off. So I know I'm not bumping it. I have tried an app killer to kill apps before turning off the screen but it still seems to happen. The phone is still relatively new so I doubt it's hardware, I baby my phones.
Any ideas for ways to make it STAY on without flashing a new rom? Or maybe ideas for how to diagnose what is shutting it down?
(I am looking for ideas and useable feedback, please don't respond that my phone has hardware issues and needs to be replaced!)

Are you sure it's actually off and not just asleep and not waking up. I've never seen a generally working phone turn itself off. On another device we called it the SOD (Sleep of Death) and required a long press on the power to reboot. It's most likely a rooted app like something Xposed related perhaps.

How can I tell the difference? Basically I press the power button once quickly to turn the screen on and it doesn't come on. I hold it for maybe 3 seconds and get the booting up stuff. I am guessing if it was sleeping I'd have to hold it much longer?

Yeah bud, that's a new one on me. Do you have any root apps that could be the cause? Like Xposed.

Thanks for the help. After reading your previous post, I decided to remove GravityBox KK and Xposed. I was using it because I find it annoying that when I plug in my phone at night, it turns on my screen. Not a big deal...
I also use SuperSU and LuckyPatcher which both use root. The only other thing I can think of is that I semi-recently upgraded my Play Store (v4.8.19 using Lucky Patcher) which I had some troubles with. It kept saying my /system was out of space and for some reason, even with root, it tells me acces denied when changing stuff inside the /system such as boot animation.
so... just an update. It's still doing it even after I uninstalled all the apps that need root. I really wish there was a log or something (like Windows) to tell me why it keeps turning off!
I have noticed it seems to happen much more often if I am texting somebody even though I'm using the default app for messages. It literally was turning off after every message I sent early before the other person was able to reply for about 5 messages in a row.
