Have this problem myself... just every now and again.. seems to mostly be triggered whilst I receive notifications either whilst the phone is asleep or if the phone allowed to sleep without clearing the notifications.. been trying a dew different settings etc.. just increased voltage of CPU +25mv at all frequencies to see if that would perhaps increase stability, also turned off any kind of control that the likes of NSTools has over the backlight operation... hasn't happened so far but I haven't received any notifications as of yet.. will keep you all updated, but going by the variety of replies to this thread alot of people are finding variable methods to fix this issue..

has there been no fix released as of yet? i find it very difficult to believe that google haven't even began addressing such a widespread problem...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusMMM:
+1 Spotify is a disatser with this phone. Random restarts like crazy.

Sorry to say it, but it's nice to see I'm not alone.

I bought my GN last Thursday and since then the device has frozen three times. First time was when I opened Android Market for the very first time, I had the screen filled with a green checkered pattern. When I pushed the power button the screen went black then when I pushed it a second time, nothing happened. This time the charger was not connected.

The second and third time both occurred in the morning after the alarm was set the night before, which I can see many other here mentions. First time the alarm went of and when I dismissed the alarm the phone went all black. This morning I overslept due to the alarm didn't go off at all. When I woke up I found the phone black again.

I have had the charger (for Nexus One) connected every night since I bought the phone, but so far the problem only occurs when the alarm is set. I have tried to reproduce the behavior at work but with a charger for Desire HD though without success. I will try to do the same with the N1 charger as soon I get back home from work and try the OEM charger during the night (with a backup alarm set ofc).

ED: Couldn't provoke the issue during the whole day yesterday... Until it was time to go to sleep. Instead of using my old N1 charger I used the one included with the phone. I took only half an hour after it was plugged in until it went black and I had to remove the battery. As someone mentioned the phone was really hot just 1 centimeter left of the camera, an area which I suppose is the antenna - though I'm not sure. I did a factory reset this morning and if this occurs again I will go back with the phone and demand a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannyd2134:
I installed lightflow a few days ago, set it up and turned my screen off with power button couldn't get it to go to the lock screen. Two battery pulls later and i uninstalled the app and no issues, phone is back to how it used to be.

So i guess some apps aren't optimized or fully working with the gnex device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turbopresh:
flash stock ICS rom yesterday, including stock kernel.. sleep of death is now gone.. definately software/kernel related...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UsrX:
Two nights without problems after factory reset, third morning it was black again. :mad: Samsung says I should wait for 4.0.3 as Google has begun rolling it out. I say other people are running 4.0.1 without problem, why shouldn't I? My phone is going back to retailer!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
aww just got a SOD on my 2nd handset :( after a couple of weeks of running well, was using it to play music and have on msn etc while i was out and about, unlocked screen, tapped home button and nothing happened and then screen went off, the usual stuff, had to pull battery to get it started up again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oskan.lindgren:
Good to know that I'm not alone...

I've been experiencing SOD for four times I think since I got my phone(December 28th). The first time, while I had the phone in the charger(the one included in the package). I put the charger in and started Sleepdroid as I wanted to test... But when I woke up, almost an hour to late, the phone was completely dead. My spontaneous reaction was to pull the battery and, thank god, it worked.

Second time though it was when using some other app, I don't recognize which one unfortunately. But, I remember it was when I should write something so Swiftkey was started. So is also the case the third time it happened.

Fourth time it just happened during a game of Wordfeud...

Don't know what to think about this, but i seems to be software related sometimes. For some people though, including me when it happened for the first time, hardware (read: battery) related.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sthauge:
On 27 desember I suggest this:

This seems more likely since the stories are the same: a few weeks of use of the GN and then SOD in different situations. The solution is always the same, replace the battery (which will also improve the battery connection) and reboot.

After doing this I have not had more SOD for 11 days. Anyone else tried it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ljp:
I've tried everything from removing apps, factory resetting, cleaning the battery and I still get problems with the SOD.

What I have noticed is that the phone only does it when I have it on charge at my place of work. Perhaps it has something to do with the USB cable I am using to charge it with (it's not the one supplied with the Nexus but one that was supplied with the Galaxy 2 that I had previously).

I wonder if the cable could be the problem somehow?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UsrX:
This might be totally irrelevant, but I found this article where the Galaxy Nexus is taken apart.

w w w.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Teardown/7182/2 (copy'n'paste, remove the spaces between the w's, I'm too new to paste working links)

If you look at the third image, there's a chip marked with orange color just left of where the camera is supposed to be, described as "Texas Instruments TWL6030 Fully Integrated Power Management with Switch Mode Charger".

This is just in that area which is getting very hot when my phone hangs while the charger is connected. Could it possibly be a faulty power management circuit that causes the freezing during charging? Or does the circuit just get warm due to the malfunctioning software? There are a couple of other circuits in the area but I don't think that either the Audio Codec chip or the SDRAM on the flip side generates that heat.

Just some thoughts in my search for a possible reason...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
Another SOD sufferer here. It's happened several times in the three weeks that I've had the phone, almost always when on charge overnight- with the Kaloer Clock app running and displaying the time- so surely the phone can't really be going into deep sleep mode?

It's happened so much that I've gone back to using my old SGS as my overnight clock/alarm so I won't be late for work. I also had SOD issues with the SGS but installed Load Monitor, which took care of it. I'm reluctant to install Load Monitor on my GNex (if it even works on ICS- haven't checked) because of the constant battery drain.

Today SOD also happened on my GNex out of the blue- was reading an article using the NewsRob app and suddenly the screen went black, and the phone wouldn't power back up until I pulled the battery.

I'm fully stock and unrooted because I'm also intermittently having the "phone refuses to charge" issue, and I don't want to void the warranty before there's consensus on whether this is a hardware or a software problem. I'm going to be really annoyed if I end up having to return the phone, because other than these problems I love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
The only time I ran into the SOD issue was due to this.

If any of you are using that app, it may be worth a try. To the others, I hope you find a solution! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aaargh777:
Where can i find this setting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tristan325:
This has happened to me twice now. Both overnight, both using the night mode desk clock, both using my old nexus one wall charger (which charges the phone surprisingly fast). Both times the phone was very pretty warm in the morning, black screen, unresponsive, had to pull the battery to turn it back on. I charge my phone using the usb cable at work and I never have this issue (but then again it's not for 7 hours like overnight charging, so who knows).

So maybe it's the wall charger i'm using, but how else am i supposed to charge it at night? I don't want my computer sitting on my nightstand so i can hook up the usb. And what if i'm traveling without a computer, how do you charge your phone?

Did anyone else's galaxy nexus come with a wall charger? Mine didn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UsrX:
If you didn't get a charger in the box you should contact your retailer. There should be one under the paper tab at one end of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tristan325:
Wow, glad i posted. You're referring to the usb--> wall adapter, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UsrX:
That's correct!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tristan325:
Yes, where was this setting?
[General Questions and Answers] 2g11:
I like to know if anyone using a Galaxy W has noticed that it doesn't have an auto brightness option in the brightness setting.

I've verified the status of all the sensors using AndroSensor and they all seem to be working fine except the light sensor which either shows 'waiting for event' or 'failed to start:unknown error'. I read a thread on another site about the Exhibit II 4G which is the US Version on Tmo. Someone speculated that Samsung may have forgot to install the drivers for the light sensor. I'd like to now if its a problem with my unit or some shocking software oversight. Considering that the auto brightness option doesn't appear at all it would be a safe assumption that the initial sofware build DOES NOT INCLUDE A LIGHT SENSOR. If so, how do I reach samsung to draw their attention so they send a fix?Need help please!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] Skeptikal-Sid:
Samsung Galaxy W Ambient Light Sensor

I too have the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy W and its ambient light sensor. I've tried all the sensor test apps as well and got the same results you did. I have also emailed Samsung UK and got an answer!

Basically, they said that they passed my enquiry to their engineers for assessment and if it is found to be a genuine fault, they will push a firmware upgrade. What they don't or won't say is when this might happen. This is not good as they known my phone is still in guarantee, but don't seem keen to do much about resolving the problem. I would guess that this affects all users of this phone. A case of crap customer service from Samsung!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulheth:
Running stock 2.2 and have had this error since new. This error pops up after charging has completed. Happens on stock ac adapter as well as others. Happens on charging cable (have tried 3) as well as 3rd party cradle.

Haven't seen this error before on either of my 2 previous dell streak 5's (i'm good at loosing phones - even big ones).

Haven't has this error come up in any searches on xda or otherwise.

Any chance this is a rom issue and will go away with a new rom?

Thoughts?
[LG Optimus 2x] pagger:
Hi, I currently have Nightly 187 installed.

I wanna upgrade to the newest one, but will it wipe during install? or will I keep my apps etc.?

also, I never changed baseband when I installed last nightly, are you supposed to do that? or is it included in the rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonywaouw:
If you don't choose to wipe, you'll keep everything
[LG Optimus 2x] tomsi91:
choose advanced -> wipe dalvik cache and than install zip you will lost no data
[LG Optimus 2x] pagger:
ok so It keeps everything? apps, settings, pics etc.

Also, does what about baseband? is it included
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:
Yes

No
[LG Optimus 2x] SStuka:
The baseband will not get flashed but the RIL will. Which results in a RIL/Baseband mismatch.

You should get "GetRil" from the market und you will be fine.

I also recommend to wipe cache. This will not erase your data,apps or config.
[LG Optimus 2x] tomsi91:
and if you want new baseband, follow the instructions on modaco optimus 2x forum (it is very easy). and dont forget do a backup before flashing new bb, because it will do a factory reset of the phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antiquezip:
Hello

I needed some help badly

* Situation:

HD2 with HyperDroid cLK with ext3 on SD Card. Been running good. One day while trying to satisfied self curiousity I disassemble the phone and broke the Rigid Flex Cable where it connected to the volume rocker. Without the volume rocker functionality there is no more Power+Volume to flash or going into recovery.

Bought a new phone with no SD card so I took the HD2 card and place it inside the new phone, of course I reformat the card to make sure no weard stuff happening with the new phone.

* Problem:

Now I don't need the HD2 and decided to put it on Ebay for parts. Problem is I can not restart the HD2 to erase my personal data on it. without the SDcard ext the phone stuck at booting animation. Eventhough I have a backup of SDcard on my PC but not the extension -How stupid I am :mad:

So I am now can not boot android, can not going into recovery or Hotboot or boot loader whatsoever ...

I just need my phone erased all the sensitive info on it and I think there may be a solution using ADB. Problem is I dont know how to use it or command to delete data store in Nand. I already have ADB installed in my PC (using cLK)

Can some one help please

Greatly appreciates

try using HD2 TOOLKIT
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antiquezip:
Hey thanks for such a quick replied

How do I do it with HD2 Toolkit?

Task29?

My phone can not start now, it stuck at boot animation and without Power+Volume I can not go to boot loader (the three colors screen)

Edit:

I can hold Power+Home button, this will get me into recovery but without the volume rocker I can not go anywhere. Any ideas?

Thanks a million
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antiquezip:
Hey I got it ;)

(by messing around with other hard key) and I can move up and down using Home and Menu button instead of volume up and down.

I am highly appreciates your effort anyway.

Thanks again

Because of stupid mistake I think I bricked my mobile.....

Yesterday only I got my mobile from SE serving center after motherboard change. Then today I have rooted my phone with onesuperclick then installed Antek File Explorer..... with the help of that I was trying to replace bin file in System folder during which I deleted bin file ..... after that nothing works..... hence I restarted mobile After that what happen I am unable to understand as it stuck of SE name...... then I succeeded to switch of phone.......

now I am able to switch on the phone .....

Also it is not detected when I connected to my PC through USB Cable ......

What should I do to restore my Mobile......????
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mikewse:
You can repair the installation with PC Companion, search for the video i6CMmZ62G3s on youtube.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vivekb:
Thanks for the video fried but I am not able to connect the mobile....... means when I am connecting it through USB, led is not working, no charging, no logo, no name nothing, ...... please help....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stiv8785:
Use Sony Ericsson Update Service to repair your phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] googooroom:
run sony update service.

connect your hp to the pc through usb

press power and home key together for a while till there is a click or hp boot up

then reflash and restore your hp to factory settings

i have done that once and it works. not sure in your case.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vivekb:
phone is not moving ahead of SE name ...... even logo not appear ....... because of that not able to connect it to SEUS .... any other way to flash it ...........
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mikewse:
Phone doesn't need to show any signs of life to be able to work with repair mode, but it is VERY IMPORTANT that you follow the instructions. If you don't do what the instruction says you will fail. You can try again as many times as you like, no problem.

1) MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS TURNED OFF

Really. We don't want a running phone with just a black screen. Remove the battery temporarily if possible to make sure it is off.

2) START REPAIR IN PC COMPANION

According to the video.

NOW - IMPORTANT:

3) PRESS THE PHONE'S BACK BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME AS YOU CONNECT THE PHONE WITH USB CABLE TO THE COMPUTER

This is where the magic happens! If the phone is not off, or the back button is not pressed at the moment the phone connects to the computer, nothing will happen.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vivekb:
that is the problem with me, as I can not pull out battery from mobile I can not switched off it and hence not able to connect PC Companion....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mrakoris/:
Hold "power" and "home button" together until you see black screen. After that immediately press and hold "BACK BUTTON" plugging your phone into PC.

Hi!

I just heard about Windows 8 and i have Two questions.

Does Windows 7 applications runt on this?

And Can you upgrade from Windows 7?
[Windows 8 General] xxviproxx:
[SOLVED!]

I solved this myself!

If you wan't links i can't post them so pm me for them!
[Windows 8 General] norgan:
the answer for everyone else is yes and yes and for the most part drivers from windows 7 also work.

EDIT: apps will be lost but settings and files will be kept.

Some stuff you need to right click and choose compatiblity mode.

FYI the windows phone emulator does some freaky **** to win8 so don't try running it, you've been warned.
[Windows 8 General] xxviproxx:
Ok thanks!

My installation is stuck on 33%

What should i do?
[Windows 8 General] trasfer71:
But windows 8 is not out yet?
[Windows 8 General] Spatnonkl:
You can download a developers preview. Looks quite nice.
[Windows 8 General] xxviproxx:

[Windows 8 General] verbatim20:
Would you recommend trying Windows 8 developers preview or should I wait until the official release.
[Windows 8 General] xxviproxx:
I think it is awesome try it!
[Windows 8 General] Spatnonkl:
what could prevent you from trying?

Install it in a virtual machine for easy installing and easy deleting

OR

create an extra partition and install it there for a realistic performance impression.
[Windows 8 General] ngholson:
win8 is nice but feels more like a mobile phone os than one geared for computers. tied too closely to the ms live services as well, did not like that it would change my live messenger picture when i changed my login image on win8.

if you have a touch screen pc (like the aio's) then this might be more practical, but it doesn't seem to be intended for mouse and keyboard use.
[Windows 8 General] xFrozen:
Windows 8 is for the most part, pretty similar to Windows 7.

Most applications and drivers will work.

But so far here's a mini list of applications that aren't working for anyone:

- AIM

- Combat Arms

- Maple Story

(yeah it's a really bad list but hey XD)
[Windows 8 General] brummiesteven:
How did you manage to upgrade from Windows 7? I don't have the option on Windows 7 Professional.
[Windows 8 General] HenryJe:
first. there are some apps which from win7 can not run in win 8.

second. you cant upgrade to win 8 from win 7.

finally. win 8 is great. but it is not stable with some kind of hardware. you should install both win 7 and win 8 to have the best in working and getting exp
[Windows 8 General] Wossner:
add Samsung Kies ;-)
[Windows 8 General] RyanBoyGenius:
I tried out Windows 8 about a month ago and felt that it was a decent experience. Unfortunately for me though it wouldnt find the driver for my wireless card (WRT54GS) so I ended up uninstalling it.

Maybe its me but I don't see the big deal about it. I didnt really use the metro UI and the new changes to explorer didnt make or break the experience, it was just meh.
[Windows 8 General] HotChickenStrips:
I'm tempted to try it but having issues with drivers and stuff is too annoying lol.
[Windows 8 General] Gizumhi:
Hi all!

Well I'm running W8 dev installed in host (not virual) and it works great on my 6 years old computer.

I think it's awesome, it takes lots of memory but it wors so fast.

I was running w7 x86 before trying this and it was quite slow for my comp also for playing (league of legends around 25-30fps). Now I'm running w8 64 and it has been improved from 30-40fps (my graphic card is quite old). Maybe cause it's 64 instead of 32 bits?

My comp is an AMD athlon 64 3800 x2, 2GB DDR, 320GB SATA and nVidia 7800 GT CO

Anyway I recommend for everyone to try it, I've been using it a week from now and I think it's awesome but there're some apps that doesn't works at all of the Metro UI such as Socialité and the Weather app

i installed win8 on my laptop. It is using similar resources to win7.

Well its still in a development mode, so it shouldnt be a surprise drivers are a pain in the butt to install, once the official copy is released it should include all possible drivers for the hardware, for now just manually install the drivers and it will work with windows 7 drivers because lets face it its just windows 7 with a facelift :-), but its just a developer preview so lets see what will happen!
[Windows 8 General] Austin Frizzell:
At this stage, could the Windows 8 developer preview be used as my primary OS? Meaning, will programs I use on a regular basis work fine on it this early on?
[Windows 8 General] k1chy:
Well, i have been using Dev preview from the day it has been released.

Observed a couple of random restarts while poking around rasdial in cmd for my PPPoE dialer automation (my mistake :o)

You can use the OS for daily (light) use wouldn't recommend for gaming or other highly crucial tasks.

Just my 2 cents.
