Hi ! I purchased recently my Acer Iconia A500, and so far I'm very impressed with it. The only concern I have is this annoying sleep of death issue. It occurs to me like 3x a day, everyday ! I've tried everything written by the people (setting airplane mode, disabling wifi when screen blackens, update) but with no success.. anyone knows if this is going to be fixed in the 3.1 update or any update by Acer ? Anyone successfully managed to solve this problem ? Thanks !
Just to know.. I really wish that it's a software problem because I live in Brasil and bought it last week in EUA, so I won't be able to change it xP
As I mentioned in another thread, this has never happened to me. Not before or after the update.
The only thing I may do different from anyone else is I leave USB debugging turned on, I have a password login and as you mention I set the wifi profile to turn off when the screen goes off.
If this is happening 3 times or more a day, I'd highly recommend replacing the tablet. Yes, I know that's extremely inconvenient in your case...
But, have you tried a reset to factory defaults? It's worth a shot...
Prior to the 1.141-update my tab had that too, several times a day. I've put a WiFi-toggle widget on my desktop to be able to switch off WiFi before putting the tablet to sleep - that almost completely got riid of the inresponsiveness after sleep.
After the update to 1.141 there is no need anymore to switch off WiFi while sleeping, the update fixed that problem. But introduced a new one: when disconnecting the charger the tablet sometimes stops responding after about 1 minute and needs a reset.
Hi
So my Nexus 4 ran great until the 4.3 update. Since then it has started doing random shutdowns. I have searched the internet and forums looking for possible causes. I first swapped the battery and the problem continued. Since then I have done two factory resets to try to see if the problem was app related. Still no luck. My most recent attempt to fix the issue was doing a manual upgrade following a posting on here to upgrade to 4.4. Which installed successfully, but still did not fix the random shutdowns.
After the random shutdown I cannot even get the phone to boot back up without plugging it in to some power source. When I do get it booted back up the battery has dropped from the usual 60%+ to usually under 15%. While plugged in however the battery then seems to "charge" at an accelerated rate...
I have been dealing with this 4 to 5 times a day and it is a major inconvenience
Anyone have any other suggestions or ideas on what I can do to possibly fix this?
Patterns
I've been trying to watch for patterns as well and it seems that the phone signal completely drops out shortly before the phone cuts off as well
help
same problems and attempts here no luck with no luck finding out what happened and no way finding the way to fix it
Hi Guys,
I'm not sure if this is related to 4.4.2 or its a hardware issue, I've only noticed this issue this week.
When I wake my N10 and if I flip the screen around before unlocking it, it will hang and reboot.
It happens every time after putting the N10 to sleep for a few mins.
If I unlock it without rotating then flipping the screen around its fine.
Has anyone else had this issue? Anyway to fix it?
Hi
Just did it and it worked fine for me, I'm also running 4.4.2... You may want to try a factory reset before issuing this as a hardware problem

on the same boat
Same behavior exactly observed on my tablet, during last week. I suspect something went wrong with the newest updates.
Random crashes with reboots, mainly when rotating on lock screen. Tried a factory reset, however, problem still persists.
Never had a single problem with my Nexus until now, worked like a charm. Also, I have not installed new Apps which to blame for this problem.
At the moment I'm trying things like disabling rotation or pattern unlocking, will see if something works.
I think I've seen this as well, on KOT49H. Not sure exactly how to reproduce it, but it's happened a few times.
Do you have modded/unlocked system? My nex is working like never before. It is twice as smooth and stable as it was on 4.3
I have never rooted/moded this tab and never ever had issues with it...
tapped from my nex
Well, disabling rotation seems to improve the issue a little bit, the random reboots are still there, but just less frequent.
Yesterday I had a couple of hangs-reboots doing simple tasks, like checking GMAIL or interacting with Google Currents widget.
In my opinion, this is not a hardware problem, it is, somehow, related with the 4.4.2. KOT49H update. My N10 worked perfect until this last update.
Ironically, I read somewhere that this update fixes the random reboot problem in a lot of faulty tablets. In my particular case, the "fix" seems to trigger the issue in my tablet
It is worth mentioning that my system is not modded or unlocked.
Updating situation ...
During the last week I have used the N10 With the automatic rotation disabled, in landscape mode. Non a single reboot.
This afternoon I just enabled automatic rotation again and the tablet rebooted itself almost instantly, at the second orientation change.
So, IMHO, This issue is only rotation-based, nothing to do with the lockscreen. It is kind of annoying.
Any help?

Hi,
Do you mind sharing a logcat when it happens? It would help a lot to see what's causing the problem.

I never had this problem, but I just tried rotating twice before unlocking, and sure enough that does it.
There are still so many things that cause this device to reboot. I love the hardware, but god is it ever unstable
This is, I hope, my final update regarding this situation..
Well, It is kind of embarrassing to inform that the problem is, apparently, gone. I didn´t do anything to solve it.
So, it looks like some app or widget was causing the instability, and it must be fixed now via a recent update. Honestly I have no clue about who the culprit was..
Thanks, anyway, for your comments and support, and happy new year
Same issue
So it seems I have the same issue too, except I have a Galaxy S4 Touchwiz 4.3. Anytime I go into landscape mode, boom it freezes and reboots. If I disable rotation, then it'll just keep randomly freezing throughout the day. Never happened before, everything was happy go lucky and then I don't know what happened. I reinstalled kernels, took off recent apps I may have installed, tried a different modem, nada... This is a pain. Anyone else with similar issues other than OP?

Ive seen this many times with 4.4.2 and 3. Now with 4 it likely fixed.
I had screen not rotating, I did a dalvik wipe and a cache wipe and haven't had a problem.

Running 4.4.4, I just saw the issue again yesterday.
Hello guys, I'm using g2 since 2013 christmas, never had any problems, glitch with it, but after last software update (4.4.2) I have had problems with wifi. It's working well, but after let's say 4h of being connected and when I lock out my phone and then turn on again, wifi starting just turning on and it gets freezen (turning on forever) until I restart my phone. I haven't rooted it, so what is a problem?
very similar problem here, but with CloudyG3_1.2.
And after the tenth time or so, rebooting didn't help anymore.
A .kdz-flash-unroot-procedure didn't solve it either.
Hi,
Everyone here, just got my new Galaxy Note 4 yesterday.
I have encountered this issue, the Note 4 will auto restart after not using it for a while, say 10 to 30 minutes it will auto restart. At first, I thought I was accidentally pressed the power button but I put it on my table not using it for a while it will auto restart.
Latest: I used the Note 4 to call my friend in the midst of the call, the phone auto restarted.
Till now, I still not yet install any program into the phone, still in its original condition.
Anyone here know what's wrong with my Note 4? or have experienced the similar problem in your other phone? How to solve it?
Could this hardware failure or software problem?
Thank you.

No problems here. I suggest you do a factory reset and see if the problem still occurs. If it doesn't, one of the apps you installed is the culprit. If it does, I think you need a replacement.

Thank you for your replied and suggested help.
In fact, I did one time factory reset but after that the Note 4 still auto restarted.
When the phone was in my hand from the shop till now I did not install any program into it.
Anyone know why the phone will auto restart?
Thank you
Go back with your phone where you bought it and ask for a new one!
Maybe a faulty unit. It's their fault. You can plead a compensation tho'.

I am having the same issue, although I have installed some apps on my Note 4. Also, I tried uninstalling apps, and changed some settings. Every time it auto restarts, it reverts back to the settings from before, and shows all of the apps back on the device. I'm not sure what is going on with it, but it is extremely irritating. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm using the device or not. It's completely random.
Check to make sure your battery is seated properly (no loose contacts). Otherwise, it might be a faulty unit. A large batch of Nexus 7s had a similar issue and they all had to be sent in for a warranty repair.
after i removed my sd card and tested for 2 days no random restart and shutdowns.interesting.
My FIL had an S4 that kept rebooting.. It turned out to be his SD card... FACT

Note 4 random rebooting
Greetings all,
I have had my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 for a little over a week and I absolutely love it except for the random reboots. The phone reboots randomly, often at at night while on the charger. That is really bad because everytime it does, it wakes me with the T-mobile jingle. I have started muting the audio at night to avoid being awakened by this but that means I cannt be reached by phone while it's muted. I have cleared the cache several times with no improvement and I have done a factory reset once and the problem persists. It seems entirely random. There was one day where I had no reboots. Most days it's a couple or so and one night it rebooted about 5 times durring the night wrecking my sleep. I do use an memory card and I just removed it today as a test. So far no reboots but it's only been a couple of hours so far. This is a significant problem and any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Likewise, I will post any progress I am able to make to this forum.
Thanks

I have the same problem, I do not have memory card inserted into the phone. It wakes me 3-4 times every night. The store sent it to a lab and they said that the phone is fine and does not have any problem. It drives me nuts.

Greetings again,
I returned my Note 4 to T-Mobile and got a brand new phone, and sim card. I have all my software loaded and configured as with the old Note 4 and it's been about 36 hours now with no reboot. If it doesn't happen in the next couple of days or so, I will probably be pretty confident that the problem is solved. I'll keep you updated.
OP, is it rooted? I have the unbranded Note 4 (SM-N910H), I've had mine rooted for 2 weeks and it kept randomly rebooting twice or so every 1-2 days, now I've removed the root and everything seems to be working fine with no reboots since 1 week. I hope this helps.
P.S. I've rooted using the CF Auto root.
Anyone knows why the root was causing random reboots for me? I've tried with knox disabled and enabled and with both options I get the same reboots.
Edit: Forgot to say that most of the random reboots happened while the phone was idle (screen off)
Thanks.
note 4 restarting
I have the same issue .. my note 4 is auto restarting... i use gear s all the time bu connecting it with note 4 via bluetooth and the phone randomly auto restarting .. yesrterday i didn't connect the gear s all the day and the phone works all the day fine and it didn't restart .. so i really don't know what is causing this problem ! Anyone can help?
Frustrating
I have a similar issue with the Note 4.
A few back, it randomly restarted and I lost half of my contacts and settings. I thought it was a one-off occurrence and re installed all my contacts and settings. Today, it kept restarting and hasn't started again. I called ATT and have asked for a replacement.
Hope the new one shapes up better than this. It sounds like there is a hardware defect in a lot of the phones.
Same here N910CQ, brand new one...
