How often is it rebooting?
Does it boot at all?
Can you reach desktop?
If not, have you flashed previously your rom?
Please supply more details.

Some times once in a day, and sometimes more than a week, basically it is rebooting when I am playing games for more than 10 minutes.
As a phone it is working fine. I am still not rooted.
Build version : FROYO.DDJP6
Firmware Version : 2.2
FYI - One more thing, I bought this mobile just 20 days back. Anyway thank you for quick reply.
Twenty days i would return under warranty for a fix ..

Exchange it, if you have not done any changes to rom, as this firmware has no such bug, probably its a hardware issue.
Is your cell get heat up while playing?

yes, sometimes it heats gets heat while playing.. I am going to shop now, to replace it.
This seems to be some sort of ROM bug. Just reflash to Gingerbread, and be fine.
You can use my howto for that, for example:

I found the issue with Advanced Task Killer. I am using Android Booster. Now it is working fine.
This has happened to me twice in 4 weeks on jvk. Talking on phone then it quickly boots up. Faster than a normal off then power on though.
Also.
Maybe why the screen goes to sleep during a call...
If you set screen off to say 10 mins, when on a call the screen stays active for duration of call except when held to ear, then screen off sensor kicks in and its working normal. Seems screen off setting also switches off phone screen at set time instead of staying active.

flash zach's antlion kernel or tk4-glitch kernel. the 'twoface' kernel might be the problem
Mine also rebooted, but it was on 2.1. The problem was that there was a bug in samsung's code. When I tdisabled the power saving mode under Settings > Display. The phone stopped rebooting.
I have 2.2.1 now and power saving mode is enabled without any problems.
I recently wiped all of my phone (factory+cache) and installed the latest 4.0.3 official update from SAMSUNG.
I also enabled the FULL DISK ENCRYPTION while doing this.
I am now waiting to decrypt it to see if this problem persits if I turn the encryption off.
The problem is that if I leave my phone locked for a few hours/minutes it randomly won't turn on the screen again, when I press the power button.
A hard reboot (holding) fixes this everytime. But this is not a fix, we all know.
It never happened on Gingerbread 2.3.5.
I am beginning to suspect there's a bug in the ICS firmware, although it's 4.0.3, it could slip through.
It's hard to say what's causing the trouble. I have connected the phone to USB now. Waiting for the symptom to show again. I assume I can get a good logcat.
adb shell logcat > logcat.txt
So I'm waiting for an error / event of POWER button at this moment, and will keep logging till it produces the same error again.
Regards,
That's called the black screen of death. It's an ICS bug. For now, rebooting seems to be the only solution ice seen on xda.

I can't believe this ! Is this a SAMSUNG or an Android/ICS problem ?
My version is:
4.0.3
IM74K.XXLPQ
Any custom ROMs addressed this issue or how can you avoid this on ICS? Is the only solution to go back to Gingerbread ?
Hi guys, hope your well.
I am having a similar issue too. I am on Hydrogen AOKP Rom, and I get exactly the same. However, apart from just the blank screen, my phone gets extremely hot too.The only way to get it back on is to remove the battery. Very annoying!!
I cant seem to figure what it is. I have tried to search here on XDA for the resolution but to no avail. Could it be the Kernal? The Modem? Tweaking via SetCPU? or a combination of all? Atleast if I could get pointed to the right direction that'll be a start! lol
Are you guys getting the overheating problem too?
Its a bit like continual posting in the wrong forum nobody knows why ??

No overheating (yet) you can help if you can keep logcatting through usb cable till it lock/standby freezes and your screen won't come on when pressing power ..
Install SDK + Drivers, write in commandprompt:
adb shell logcat > save.txt
Wait for the error / freeze where screen won't come on.
Then paste here or upload somewhere might contain a lead to a solution!

It's a kernel issue. I had exactly the same problem. Flash the latest siyah kernel that should sort it out. I went through 10 different Roms till I worked it out

Nah!
It's there on all the kernels. I myself am a Siyah user.
I moved back to GB for this weird and terribly serious issue, but that time i didn't know it was a common problem.
This is ICS' best feature for sure.
I really CAN NOT believe how this issue is NOT yet known well and haven't brought in to front line. Google knows about it and yet I haven't seen any official statements about it. How ****in unbelievable or not perhaps? Google way?? Well **** it.
Utter Nonsense. What i wonder is, really, does any Android user actually use the phone but show off only??
I can almost reliably reproduce this problem.
I'm on ICS LP7 stock XEU version. When I have downloads running with Ttorrent, there's an almost 50% chance that the screen will not turn on once it goes to sleep. The phone is not frozen as my downloads continue to run; just that nothing is being shown on the display. If you hold the volume down button you will feel the phone vibrate to tell you it went into silent mode, which means the phone didn't freeze. After about a minute or so if I try again everything will work as normal, until I put the screen to sleep again.

Do the logcat as I provided the correct command to extract it to a file.
Then do your torrent thing, and make it crash- so we can debug !
Used to happen, since I installed latest hydrog3n-ICS rom (13-05) never had those again!

Hi,
It happened to me as well after the ICS update and I tried to plug the AC charger to see what happens, and surprise...the screen turned on .
It's not a fix (especially when away with no accessories) but it's better than nothing, hope this helps; also you should try plugging the USB cable. Tell me if it helps.
Thanks,

Yep,I mean under volting, you need to look your kernel, and I think it doesn't work fine because your kernel has under volting so much.

Hi Guys,
I have a question about the update to version 4.1.2.
When I go to Settings > About > System update, I see that the update to 4.1.2 is found but it says that it is waiting to download but it stays like that forever and nothing happens.
Has anyone else seen such behavior? Do you know why it is happening and if it is normal?
Thanks!
Maybe a stupid question but... are you connected to WiFi when you see the message?

Make sure you have a good WiFi connection. The WiFi in my dorm shows a good connection (String signal) but the internet can sometimes timeout easily. Make sure your connection to the internet is superb.

Yes, I know what the arrows mean but my question is why this is happening? Is there a way for me to force the download? Or maybe I just have to wait more (it's been like this since yesterday)?
Try powering off the Nexus and then starting it up again. If that doesn't work, try using the technique to trick it into updating mentioned in this thread (yes, it's for a different situation but still worth a shot)

Hey, thanks for the suggestions. I tried powering off and on and it didn't work.
Then I tried the method to force stop the Google Services Framework and when I went to the System updates screen, I had the option to check for updates. I checked and I am back to where I was before - the update shows but is only "waiting to download"

And more specifically and as far as I can tell, if the phone is freshly booted then the functions listed above work. However, after several hours on I go to adjust the brightness and the screen does NOT change its brightness no matter whether i set auto-brightness or adjust it manually.
Let me preface this topic and let you all know that I still have my stock screen protectors attached and I've installed the light flow app if that matters.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I such at naming titles.
same here, just wiped. no clue what's causing it
Same for me I just noticed this. Hope its something fixable in an update.

Have you tried wiping? I haven't had any issue since
Ugh never mind, brightness got stuck again.
Wow am i glad to have found this thread, i have been battling this problem since day one with this phone, and i have been trying to track it down with usb debugging but have been unsuccessful. What happens is that my screen will randomly shut off and be non responsive for 5 seconds and when i can turn the screen back on, i can no longer adjust the brightness and only a reboot will solve the issue. It also occurs when i am not using the phone so i think it is a hardware issue but i am uncertain.
Things i have tried to fix it:
Factory reset
Fastboot flash factory image
Flash cutom ROM & Kernel
Didn't realize it before but yes, my screen randomly turns off, then the brightness gets stuck. Thought it was timing out
---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------
You guys use auto brightness? Maybe that might be it
This happens to me occasionally too, haven't been able to determine what triggers it. It's almost as much fun as the magical battery levels. Plugged in the other day, went from 4% to 100% in a nano second.
interesting...my auto and slider work just fine
ugh still getting this problem daily. does't matter if auto brightness is on
There is no solid way to reproduce the problem, so I am willing to bet its a hardware issue. I will be calling T-Mobile this week to replace it.

Of the people who are experiencing it, how many have a notification drawer widget (Widgetsoid, Power Controls, et al?) and have a brightness toggle on it?
I've removed brightness from Widgetsoid to see if it's a conflict of some sort.

Not sure. Here's one report on Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40378
Edit: could just as easily be a OS issue, if it decides to stop polling the light sensor for some reason. Many people have the battery bug as well, which seems to stop polling the battery for some reason.
Hi Guys,
I am trying to figure out what is causing my screen to turn on for 2-3 seconds every 10-15 min, to me looks random, is there any app / procedures anyone recommends to find out what is causing this?
I am on Stock 4.4.2 (Rogers-Canadian) rom however the phone is rooted.
Thank you in advance.
