Mine frequently restarts too, several times a day, whether on the charger or off. I've tried taking logcats but there doesn't seem to be any consistent trigger. I'm on the last version of JB.

any solution bro?
can custom roms solve this issue?

If you connect phone when turned off to 500mA charger (or computer), the phone will power on.
Or it restarts also in other situations?

Mine restarts on its own at random with no prompting, several times per day, while already powered on. This happens whether or not it's connected to a charger. I haven't been able to figure out what's causing it. I haven't tried any custom roms, just the stock JB ROM.

So you are on JB? There are problems with random reboots on KK on GSM network, but I don't know about it on JB. You can try custom ROM or kitkat flash 163.46.10, NOT .15 if you don't have your bootloader unlocked.

I'm still on JB. My bootloader is locked. I've done the GSM edit and I'm on T-Mobile. Could just be a GSM problem? I remember my old Droid 3 would get occasional freezes and reboots, and it was on T-Mobile also.

On KitKat, there is problem with GSM causing random reboots and freezing. It can be solved by freezing FastDormancyMonitor app. But I'm not sure about JB. I'm on GSM too and I haven't noticed any reboots when I was on JB. You can try updating to kitkat (and rooting and disabling fastdormancymonitor). Not sure if this will help

I've read about the FastDormancy issue and I have it disabled on my JB phone, along with the build.prop edits that are supposed to turn it off too. I was hoping to avoid having to move to KK to fix the issue, especially as it sounds like some people on GSM are having the issue on KK too.

It's a feature. It's so done by Motorola, that when connected to PC (or 500mA charger), it powers up.

What problem? If you mean power on after plugging phone to PC or less than 1A charger, you can do nothing. It is so, it is so on all DROID RAZR M's and it can't be changed.

This is also a safety feature. If you were to try this with phone on and plugged into PC with battery protection interlocks defeated, what will happen? Obviously you will damage the battery. Not to mention the Lithium polymer batteries are pretty touchy (they can blow up if you as much as stroke them the wrong way).

Mine restarts randomly 3 or 5 times per day.. Its exhausting

[Q] evo charge issue

my evo will not stop charging when disconnected from charger and wont connect to comp pleas help need to fix asap
What Rom are you running ? What Recovery are you using ? What Kernel are you using ? You said it will not connect to the computer. Have you Updated HTC Sync ?
Not charging while phone is on..
Hi guys,
I am facing a very unique issue(basically i didnt find any thread which had the same problem as mine). My Evo does not charge while the phone is switched on nor can i connect it to my comp from the recovery after i mount it in usb mode. It charges properly while it is powered off. I have tried installing jellybread & mokeeos roms with tiamat kernel but they go into boot loop.
It is really inconvenient since i have to switch off the phone for it to charge. Please help.
The details of the system are below:
RoM: rooted stock rom from xda thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Evo/ROMs)
the kernel is also stock
I am using Amon Ra recovery 3.11
Please do help me out with this.
I figure its a software problem since it is charging properly when switched off.
Are you Full Root "S-off" ? Have you tried using a different charger / cable combo ?

evo charge issues
Yes, My phone is fully rooted and s-off.
also i have tried using several charger, cable combos.
When it is in fastboot, i can flash files, threre is not problem there, but when I turn on USB mode in the recovery, it does not detect on the computer.
Also It charges when off, but does not when fully switched on. 1 thing that i now noticed was that sometimes, it starts charging when switched on, and then stops after 1 minute or so.
Also the battery drains extremely quickly now. This was not the case before this happened.
It would be great if you could help me out here,

Sounds like a bad battery or bad charging port... cheapest way to test is to buy a battery from ebay or something. See what happens. If the same problem persists its a hardware issue with the port itself (which I think it is from the sounds of it). Or you can unroot it, load a stock Sense rom and go to a Sprint store to have them look at it.
You can also try cleaning the Charger port itself out. I've issues in the past with charger ports getting dirty, which causes a bad connection. But I would still defiantly try a different Battery.
thanks guys, will clean the port and also try a new battery...
will get back once i have done these...

Note 3 N9005 only charges when turned off.

Could be a coincidence, but after he upgrade to 4.4.2 my phone simply doesn't charge when the phone is turned on. Unless I turn it off which initially it goes into recovery mode, and then starts charging when i turn off my device from recovery. Soon I noticed that, the device does charge when it's turned on while being charge from completely shut down. But then, if i decide to un plug the socket and re-plug, it doesn't work. -_-
Also PC does not detect my phone...
I have flashed KitKat multiple time since the incident, also, i have tried custom roms

Cannot properly charge my S5

Hi, i just got my Galaxy S5. Somehow i had some charging problems and after it had contact problems and constantly showing "Connected" - "Not Connected" it completly stopped working when i installed Lollipop. I sent it to a repair center and they swapped the charging port and installed KitKat Stock firmware again. Charging now worked, but after some days the error came back again. I reinstalled KitKat via Odin again and now its charging normally. But i know this error will come again and i have no idea how this is possible.
No matter which firmware i got:
- When plugging in the charger while Android is shut down, it shows a battery with a yellow warning symbol. But the phone everytime detects when the charger is plugged in even if its not charging (when Android is running, it doesnt even shows the charger is connected)
- Connection in Download mode via Odin 100% working without any disconnection problems
What the hell is the problem when its not hardware-side and works when i reinstall KitKat?
Push...
Sent my S5 to Samsung and they replaced the charging port. Charging on KitKat WORKED flawless. After Lollipop Update via KIES it has contact error again and does not charge ... Download mode fully working, Charging while Android running NOT working, USB connection not working and charging while Android shut down shows battery error symbol after 1 minute. But it detects that the charger is plugged in when android is shut down....
Sometimes it detects USB and charger but very randomly and for short periods of time. Right now it somehow detected USB connection and works since some minutes after it showed connected disconnected for several times.
Get the phone replaced, it's obviously faulty

I cannot replace it, only send it to the support again. But it cant be that Download mode is working but depending on the Android version USB and charging is not. This is just not possible and cant be hardware-related.
Don't know if this has been already considered, but: did you try another USB cable and/or another charger ? Maybe its not the phone after all !
Just my 2 cents,

[Q] N4 doesnt turn on. Red Light blinks once.

Hello.
When I try to turn on my N4, I hold power button, and after about 10 seconds Red light blinks (just once, if it's connected to USB that 1 blink last for 3 seconds, if connected to wall, it's just quick 1 blink. If it not connected anywhere there is no action at all, it just stays dead, no blinks, nothing). Same if I try to go in bootloader by holding volume down+power.
This happened after I successfully installed CM12, with no errors. Then I rebooted my phone, and it just stayed black as it is now. Battery was around 25~30% that time, and phone was connected to USB.
Did I bricked my phone totally? I am now trying to charge it up already for 1 hour... but it nothing changes.
I have searched here for similar problems, but couldn't find solution...
Edit: Charging already for 10h+ , still same..
Edit2: I removed battery, reconnected after a while, still same problem.
So I tested it with multimeter, it says 2.6V, but fully charged must be 3.8V. Could this be a problem? I was charging it for whole night.
Edit3: I just got new battery . But it looks the same.. phone doesn't boot up.. same red light blinks once.. so.. its my phone is dead? I can't believe that...
When I connect to PC usb, there are unrecognized deviced called "QHSUSB_DLOAD".
easy fix
Hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time until phone reboots. If you see the little android no need to worry just let go and wait for your device to reboot on its own. This is not a factory reset it's just like restarting your device. :good:

I have tried that many times. Nothing. It's bootloader screen, but I can't get there. Nothing happens. If I keep holding volume down+power it just keep blinking once every ~10 seconds, same if I hold just power button. If phone is not connected to charger, there are no blinks at all.
I removed battery, reconnected after a while, still same problem.

I had the same problem a year ago, I tried to remove the battery, charging all night, and other solutions that I found online and no one worked.
Finally I found here in XDA a user with the same problem and his solution was charger the phone with a wireless charger, a friend of mine has one and I put the phone to charge and after a few minutes the screen goes on and the phone was charged, then I press power button and the nexus run again.
Hope this works.
Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Spain.
Good luck.
(I bought a wireless charger in case it happen again)
I don't know anyone with wireless charger. I already ordered a new battery, and then I probably will get wireless charger also. Ty.
But this problem is very weird if you think so.. I think it happened because of many aspects together:
1) Battery was already below 30%
2) I pretty regularly charge phone with USB (won't do it again)
3) It was connected to PC USB in same time.
4) I installed CM12 ROM in same time
So main reason I think is USB, that I restarted phone while it was on pretty low battery and with USB connected.. phone restarted and got invalid voltages and couldn't even boot up or charge phone. I also found an article which says, minimum voltage, when phone battery has 0%, it's 3.0V, so I was below that.. it just screwed everything and battery died. Well, I am not sure for 100% that it's battery fault, but I hope so, I really love my N4 and still wanna use it for long time, I hope it's not dead phone, just a dead battery. Lets see! I will update this thread , when I get my new battery (less than month probably).
Sorry, my english is also not perfect. I am from Latvia.
I was playing when it happened to me. The phone was very very hot and the battery was around 70%. When I put in the wireless charged and I can reboot the phone the battery was at 65%, so it had charge but the phone won't boot.
I charge my phone almost every day, sometimes with AC, others with USB (plugging to PC) or wireless that depends of my needs
I hope you can fix it. Good luck.
Btw. Do you know if battery charges with wireless charger, if it's removed from the phone?
Don't think it does, since the receiving coils for wireless charging are located just behind the glass back.

Major Issue Google
This "Nexus SOD" issue is showing up on many sites across the Internet. I have multiple "Nexus" devices including 2 Nexus 4, 1 Nexus 5, 2 "Nexus 7 2013". It suddenly started out of the blue with one of my Nexus 4 phones. Symptoms included rapid battery discharge. I am using Lollipop 5.1 on all devices. There are many claims as to the cause, Hardware Motherboard, Power Button etc. Others claim it is "Software Related" or App Related. The problem effects Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 phones. I have ordered a new motherboard for my nexus 4 device and see if that makes a difference.
This problem should warrant a "Major Android Lollipop Crisis Team" by Google to investigate the cause and let us know what it is and what Google is doing to solve the problem before moving to announce "Android M". This issue needs to brought up and actively pursued at the upcoming "Google I/O Conference" by the strong Android Developers Groups to press for "Formal Action"

I had this problem a long time ago and my fix worked for me after doing a little research it seems like this is a case called battery total discharge. The fix was simply to charge your phone using the wall adapter that came with your phone (I still use my old apple cube wall thing) and to wait for the red light to appear then wait about ten minutes before trying to reboot.
I just got new battery . But it looks the same.. phone doesn't boot up.. same red light blinks once.. so.. its my phone is dead? I can't believe that...

Did u try booting the phone without battery by connecting to wall charger and what about flashing stock ROM via PC
Also check that the power button works

Just tried booting without battery, and connecting to wall. Same - red light blinks once, after I hold Power button or Power+Volume down for about 15 seconds. If I keep buttons pressed, it just repeats every ~15 seconds.
Power buttons works fine.
After I checked that Device manager thing in google.. it looks very bad.. phone is dead.. probably need to change motherboard. I am just shocked, how this could happen... I didn't receive any errors during CM12 installation. Phone just instantly died after restart.

Keeps turning on when charging, how do I stop it?

I ran my phone down to empty battery, so I went to charge it. As it was already powered off I left it because, surely, it would charge faster that way.
When I came back to take it off the charger I discovered the phone powered on, display on full brightness, WiFi on and everything, and the phone hadn't charged sufficiently at all.
I never told it to turn on but it does this every time, and even when I turn it back off it turns back on again!!! ???
Thanks for your answers! ?
The same thing happens to me... no offline charging on our G6's, at least not after reaching around 5% of battery.
So when I want to charge my g6 faster, I will plug it in and make sure it's charging and then I will power it off. It will act like it's booting back up but it won't.

You can't change that. The only workaround is to turn it off after you have connected the charger. Since I use wireless charging, that is a difficult option for me so I just gave up.
You can't ffs, it has auto boot after 3-4% of charging. And thats not even a bad thing. If you want charge it faster turn airplane mode on, on charging.

HI !1
when i put my G6 on charge it mostly show high temperature detected and shutting down message and power off .. what should i do i face high temperature message after 24 hrs .. although my phone is on normal temp and no heat on its body ?
Maybe a software thing? Im on 20G oreo canadian unbranded sim unlocked. I powered down at 2 percent and plugged in charger and my phone stayed off untill i powered up ag 100 percent. Just my observation

Try factory reset first. If still the same then it sounds like a battery failure, which can be replaced but not easily.

That option in settings is there whether you can OEM unlock the device or not... Also, most or at least some G6 models can be OEM unlocked.
That temperature warning is still probably your battery. Batteries can get extremely hot when they malfunction (much more so than the other components alone) so I'd get it checked out or you may have a Note7 in your hands

thanks for info .. lets see i got new battery
So still no fix for the issue? Mine is turning on when charging as well, I mainly use wireless charging but it happens when charging with the USB cable AND when charging wirelessly. The phone will not stay powered off. Any suggestions? I have the most recent Android 8.0.0 update, VS988 on Verizon. I've never had an issue like this on Android, very frustrating.
I also found this link from LG. It seems to be software based, why would they do this?

In my case I drained the battery during usage thus not performing a graceful shutdown. When I try to charge into the wall it displays the charging icon on the screen and runs out of power and shuts down again-->Won't Charge.... I plugged the cable into my computer which seems to perform a slower charge --> the battery icon does not display and I am able to charge... this is silly as as a workaround solution. How to prevent the battery icon from display during charge?
This worked for me and it was so simple. I was looking in the wrong place for an answer.
On the plug end, where the USB cable is plugged into the plug, I noticed that the cable did not seem to be pushed in all the way. I pulled it out of the plug, then reinserted it as far as it would go.
Voila! The problem went away. I can now turn off my phone, insert the charging plug, and the phone goes into fast charge and, most importantly, stays powered OFF. Try it. this might work for you as well.
