I've had this issue ever since I got my phone. This would just happen completely randomly (nothing to do with battery or anything else). It happened pretty unfrequently and barely ever happens ever since I put on Dexter's 1.3. Not sure what causes it - but it looked to be completely random for me.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Another suggestion. Since you've already swapped ROMs, maybe it's related to the SD card. Perhaps try backing your SD card up, reformatting it and copying the data back (do this on the PC not through USB access). Then reinstall your rom in OpenRecovery and factory wipe.

(You don't happen to be running WidgetLocker?)
[Milestone XT720 General] Monthana:
@Mioze: The battery was at 70% a few hours after I loaded it to 100%, so that's probably not the problem. I don't have widgetlocker and it also happened with the sd card taken out.

But it didn't happen since I've started this thread so maybe I'm lucky and syrenz was right.
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
i have had this problem on every rom. it is related to sdcard. happens to me almost everytime i try to unrar one of khals rar files it always happens when im doing something sdcard related. last time it happened i did a battery pull and when it powered up my sdcard would stop checking for errors and everytime the screen turned off it wouldnt come back up. i had to plug into pc and check for errors and then it worked again without having to reformat it. my advice is get a faster sdcard. the stock one just doesnt cut it.
[Milestone XT720 General] Monthana:
Trying a 4Gb Kingston Sd card now I used with my Dslr before.

I used the stock sd the whole day after I checked it for errors yesterday and it went well until I tried to download something from the store.

By now there seems to be no problem. Going to update my post if the problem still exists.

If it's ok: Thank you all for your efforts to help me.

Now this is ironic, as my phone began doing this today after put a new 32GB class 10 (Patriot) microsdhc card and reflashed Dexter's 1.3 and added bugfix v3 to it. After some tinkering, I think I nailed it down to me undervolting the processor.

I'm assuming the new microsdhc card need's a little more power than I was allowing. I was clocking the processor to 720Mhz/Vsel43, I left the speed at 720Mhz, but increased the vsel to 45, which seems to have solved the above described problem. However when I tried to copy my music over to the phone, it borked out again. So I've increased the vsel to 50 and things seem to have settled down. (fingers crossed)

G.

Ack! I spoke too soon. I just tried to install Steve Lin's Gingerbread keyboard and the phone reboots at the end of the download, even though I tried increasing the vsel. Going try clearing the Dalvik/Cache and see if that helps any.
[Milestone XT720 General] banshee56:
I've flashed my XT720 to the khalpowers MIUI-Optimized V3 with the camera update.

I originally had a Sandisk 8GB Class 4 SD card, but after installing a new Adata 8GB Class 6 SD card, I started having the same issues. I was running Milestone Overclock on non-custom overclock settings, so it was running at 1GHz @ 74 vsel.

Honestly, I don't know that I've seen a discernible difference between the Class 4 and Class 6 card, so I may go back to the original card until I get more concrete data on how to fix this.
[Milestone XT720 General] peshovec:
Let me share my 2 cents regarding sd cards.

first trouble shouting:

1. use the phone without the sdcard to see if the problem disapear

2. while doing 1. test the sdcard. Have in mind that sdcards are little bit different from normal hdd. For example i had 2 sdcards which locks the phone, but seems good on normal fs checking (even bad sector check option forced). but this 2 cards failed on the following test:)

test read speed of the sdcard for every 100 MB of it. for my desktop the script looks like:

i=0; while [ $i -lt 75 ]; do echo $i; dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null bs=1M count=100 skip=`expr $i \* 100`; i=`expr $i + 1`; done

dd utility will probably report the speed (else just type time dd ....., then you will have the time)

if the card is good, then the speed has to be almost constant

for example on the good card i am using now is almost constant from 13.1 till 13.6 MB/s

for one of the bad, i observerd droping from 10 MB/s to 3 MB/s for a specific space range. then had run several tests just in this range and it turnout that this area of the sdcard is slow. That means that the card is on it way to the RIP:).

For us it means that some sdcard io will timeout and soft lookup can happen (e.g. so called warm reboot, or just system_server kill by the watchdog). The other possibilities is more worse, just freeze and the watchdog cannot kill the system_server (probably because hang io operation)

Personally i was runing adb shell when the phone had freeze. it turns out that the linux works somewhat, but even as root i was unable to kill any process (probably because io hung operation), also every operation with the sdcard has hangt the current adb session, so i have to open new one....

secondly performance:)

0. If you wish you can perform the read speed test from above, but with write and to observe weak areas of the new sdcard

1. align the partitions on 8192s boundary (both of them to start on 8192*X sector)

2. format the fat32 so 64k logical cluster is formed (i use mkfs.vfat -S 4096 -s 16 options )

3. do the read_ahead tweak

4. be sure to using noatime mount options

5. vold checks the fat partition for you, make sure that thex ext[234] partition is checked before is mounted

6. If you decide to move the /data/dalvik-cache, move it to the /cache partition, not the ext[234] one

and do not forget, that free internal phone storage has no benefits. so as the internal nand is faster, use it as much as you can

p.s. and just to share: i have troubles with the thumbnail service. it turns out that when it runs (e.g. when i lock the display) it find some broken images and crashed badly, invoking warm reboot. after deleting this broken images, this problem was solved
[Milestone XT720 General] Monthana:
I've been using the Kingston 4gb sd for a few days now and the problem's gone.

So that might be the solution.
[Milestone XT720 General] Kanty_K:
I use 8GB C2 sdcard, and turn off desktop cache in system setting of ADW, this problem was gone.

It seem to be caused by ADW places cache in SD.
[Milestone XT720 General] banshee56:
I've left my Adata 8GB Class 6 SD card in for now, but after removing the SD Speed Boost app, it appears my problem has gone away. I've never had the persistent memory setting enabled on ADW, btw.

Edit: I was curious if the SD Speed Boost would work after a reinstall, but 20 minutes after, I was pulling my battery, so I'm pretty sure it was that app at fault.
[Milestone XT720 General] tubekeeper:
I got the issue even I'm using the class 10 SD card it seems not related the SD speed.
[Milestone XT720 General] Iced27:
Annoying.......

This problem just started happening to me but I doubt that it is a SD card problem. Mostly since my phone has been unresponsive since yesterday afternoon and I can't even get the LEDs to light up or get the screen on at all. I got it to work after relentless battery pulls and taking the SD card and SIM out. But I decided to turn it off so I could pop the SD and SIM card back, it went back to its non-responsive mode. I also am unable to get to recovery mode or even the bootloader. My tech always seems to break all on the same day (my bike too >_<).
[Milestone XT720 General] peshovec:
just try without sdcard
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
I'm almost positive this is sdcard related it only happens to me when I'm doin something sdcard related. Happens like clock work when I try to unrar one of khal themes that's 100 or more megs same when I use the unyaff app to extract my data.img from my back up. Ive had this problem ever since upgrading to 2.2 never happened on 2.1 I've just gotten used to it. I dont think its gonna go away I'm thinking the sdcard must timeout or something.
[Milestone XT720 General] Iced27:
Well just did a battery pull again and just took out the SD card and put the battery back in and tried to turn it on again but to no avail. Really annoying not having having my phone.....
[Milestone XT720 General] noside_143:
This is also happening to me too... regardless if i have anything installed or accessing any files on my SDcard... and i already flashed my xt720 back to stock... and still the same... already changed my SDcard from the 8gb that was included on the package to 16gb... but still the same... i am very dissapointed with this device... just got this last week...
[Milestone XT720 General] Iced27:
Still Annoyed....

My problem is still persisting after 2 days now and I'm torn between junking this phone and getting something else or trying to find a way to get my phone back in working order. I've tried just about everything I can do physically with the phone (battery pulls, w/o SD or SIM or with both in or one or the other out, etc........). So far all I have right now is a $400 dollar paper weight.

On another note, for some reason it keeps phoning my dad or sending him text messages with random assortments of code or error messages..........
[Milestone XT720 General] gera_nium:
sir...i think you should do from scratch...sdcard formatting and partition,flash your phone to with .sbf to eclair 2.1,rooting again then restore your favourite nandroid froyo ROM....most problem can be solve....:D
[Milestone XT720 General] Iced27:
Would have done all that if I could even boot the phone into OR or even the Bootloader. I just went to my provider and exclaimed that it just died on my (it did pretty much) and they just replaced my phone for free :). So I have my original firmware back in place, so I can make an nandroid of it this time around and can start from scratch.
[Milestone XT720 General] AA1973:
I second that. Still on 2.1-1 and those black screens happen randomly.

I will try a new SD-Card in the next days and hope it'll be solved.

[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
just yesterday on the phone from a friend the screen stopped working, everything was working normal, and by surprise and did not light the screen, back operatvo system still works, but can not see anything on the screen, we restart the phone and nothing, remove battery, remove sd, remove sim, and does not work. I will try changing the SD.

The lights on the bottom bar work, apparently the operating system as well, along with my phone which is the same, both dexter rom v.1.3. we try to restore factory settings from my phone and guiding us in theory did the restoration, but the screen still does not work.

The last thing my friend did was the following:

Tap Tap installed app,

He used the Hotspot 3g, sharing the Internet signal, and was there when the screen is no longer lit.

Any suggestions?
[Milestone XT720 General] gera_nium:
tavinsky,

i think your screen having a problem....send back to shop or service provider
[Milestone XT720 General] ahray69:
I've got totally the same problem. I found that this is SDCARD problem because after I changed to other one, it works well and two weeks after, it still running no problem.

The problem sdcard is adata c10 16G, the good sdcard is trancent C6 8G.

The problem sdcard is sending to repair, hope it will work after return.
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
I've tried to change a SD class 4, however the screen did not work. As well as possibly gera_nium says my problem is purely of the screen, I have already communicated to Amazon, where there was buy the phone with warranty, and according to them they will contact me to give the first indications for repair, waiting to be problem software rather than hardware.

Here in Guatemala did not get class 4 SD above, do you think could be problem for SD?, because it might send me to bring.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Orbit_be:
Hi!

I'm having problems updating my P500 to the latest available rom. I tried about everything but it gets me nowhere :( LG software clearely isn't the best, I had quite some troubles with it in the past, trying to upgrade my old KP500 Cookie and apparently, it hasn't becomme any easyer in the mean time ...

First problem I have is that I cannot get the update software to work correctly on my W7home 64bit desktop pc. This is probably my own fault since I connected the phone before installing the usb drivers. Now it keeps trying to install the USB driver but it fails when attempting to install the MCCI(r)Firmware. Is there a way to remove everything and start over from scratch?

Secondly I grabbed my GF's laptop and got the software to install properly this time around and got the update process going. But for reasons unknow to me the LG software crashed at arround 15% when the P500 already was showing a yellow screen. After I removed the battery I got it to boot up again and it seems to be working ok but still shows the old firmware (v10b) on the settings menu. Problem is now that when I tried a second time the LG software won't commence the update process because it detects version v10h, which is says is the latest and no update is nesacery.

So, what now? I'm out of ideas ...

I've had my Nexus One for about a year. I have a couple scratches on my screen even with Gorilla Glass. The scratches are definitely from keys. I also have a few nicks on the body. I went a month with a pouch/case and screen protector but after about a month I realized how you totally lose the design of a phone with cases'. So I think when I get my Nexus S, Im gonna use a pouch and just rock my phone fully NAKED, who cares if you scratch the screen or the body, Its just a phone. In about a year when your going to sell it, its already dated and worth little to nothing, How much is a 6/10 condition Nexus One Vs a 9/10 Nexus One?

Because there are small spots on my screen where the coating is gone (or seems that way anyways). There are others who have experienced this also in the big "oleophobic coating" topic. It can only be seen under light in a certain angle, but it's definitely there. The screen protector negates the effect so I don't see it anymore. Weird, but that's why I use a screen protector. :)
