My Tbolt turns off constantly - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure whats going on, it doesn't reboot and it only does it when on battery (Not plugged in) When I am using the phone, actually touching it going through menus it normally stays on but as soon as I let it sleep or anything it turns off... I have updated it and ruued it and tried different roms re-rooted.... out of ideas but currently have a phone that doesn't work as a phone as it just turns off all the time, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sound like what many are calling the "sleep of death".
Dumb question, only having these problems when rooted and non stock ROM? So if you root, and leave it stock everything else, does it die? If you fully return to stock does it die? If so, and if it was me, Is exchange it.
If it doesn't die on the above, then:
Some phones prefer the interactiveX governor over ondemand...you can change this using speedtweak.sh on just about every kernel but ziggy's kernels. You can also try using setCPU to do it if you aren't comfortable using the terminal.
Read the thread of the ROM you are running to get more info about the kernel that its running on. The kernel devs here are usually very helpful.

I think its the opposite...I was having the same problem and a switch interactivex to ondemandx and never had a problem after that..

Thanks for the response, and well no it always does it even on completely stock no root. The weird part is it doesn't turn off while plugged in at all... Could this be a battery issue? I have tried almost every rom on here and same thing once unplugged it will work while I'm actively using it. Then shut off as soon as I stop...

Return your phone, it meats criteria, trying to figure it out is just going to give you a headache, your not a tech, don't try and be one. Turn it in, get a free replacement, flash away and be happy with your phone!

It was a gifted phone purchased outright, I have no warranty through Verizon or anything, I have every intention of figuring it out.
It seems almost as if the issue is in the batter somewhere... It stays on and functions perfectly on the charger.. but once only on battery power it turns off..

+1 You are right, got it backwards. Running a rom that I don't have to tweak finally so I'm a bit rusty.
To OP, if it does it on stock, then you might be able to get them to trade you. Unfortunately, many bolts are just bad. Good luck.

So no thoughts on the battery thing then? These batteries do have some sort of "brain" in them right? Is there someway that could have become corrupt?
I was thinking this because it works so well on the charger, this has become a project phone for me at this point as I have acquired a G2X and get cheaper service and have 4G in my area on it anyways. So I am willing to try whatever, basically this is a very non stock phone, but atm has been RUUed to stock, and still has these issues, I have RUUed it a few times by this point.

Wipe your batt stats and find out
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...

do you use setcpu ?
I had the same problem , so I used setcpu profiles and limitedthe CPU speed while on sleep to 3xx-4xx.
It worked for me. When it goes to 184mhz that's was my problem.

yes, wipe your batt stats.

even if it was a gift, it still has a warranty through verizon and htc that you can use. If you think the battery is bad, why not buy a cheap replacement battery on ebay/amazon?

Well I was hoping someone else had the same issue, I am going to try and go to a vzw store today and see if I can get someone to let me use a battery for a bit to test that theory. I will post back when I find out more.
As for wiping of the battery stats for some reason clockwork just errors when I try to wipe bat stats..

I have exact same issue. I have three batteries and it does with all three. Mine too does not do it while plugged in. Tried different ROMS and Kernels and Radios to no avail. Didnt do it b4 I rooted. Started doing it when I switched to Gingerbread ROM. I am going to try going back to a Froyo and see if that helps. That is what I would suggest. I am probably going to try and put back to stock and Return. Luckily I bought at BestBuy and have warranty through them.

[Q] im done with the fascinate

stock 2.1 rom 10% battery drain per hour when sleeping
sc 2.9.2 UV 50 kernel (dont remember the full name) 3-5% sleeping in my pocket, BUT 1% drain every 3minutes when the screen is on the LOWEST setting.
Just odined back to stock, and 2.2 was already available to me.....so i OTA upgraded and my battery battery is even worse than that of stock 2.1. 12% percent for sleeping AND crazy battery drain when using the screen... i cant get over 7 hours of using my phone moderately....
warranty is voided since i rooted right???

dont u guys even dare telling me to recalibrate my battery and all that nonsense. none of this works.
No its not voided, you got the update via ota right? As long as you don't bring it in there rooted you should be fine.

Technically yes, but if your back to 100% stock, with no root, then know one well know you rooted.

Have you checked spare parts to see whats eating your battery?
Here are some things you could have done or do.
-Clear battery stats using terminal emulator
-Use app called juice defender
-Use UV kernel (seems like you did)
-Use Set CPU and bring down max frequency to 800MHz.
-Turn off GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth when not in use.
My suggestion is Odin to DI01 and then get the two OTA's EA28 and ED01 and then just run complete stock, and do not install ANY apps, yes I know who wants to run a phone with 0 added apps, you can update any stock apps, but if you run your phone for a day or 2 with just that setup and your having the same issue then go to verizon and get your phone replaced, also keep track of any settings you change, you want to try and keep your phone stock as much as possible, the only stock setting I personally would change is not have live wallpapers.
If your phone is over a year old, you might want to consider getting a new battery for it. No rechargable batteries stay 100% for over a year.

The phone has not been out a year, so its impossible for him to have it longer then a year.
Good point
Seems like this phone has been out damn near forever. Was trying to help. You have a better idea, or do you just troll these forums looking to bust peoples' balls while offering no actual help of your own?
the fear i have with taking it to Verizon is that. i didn't originally buy the phone. i got it of craigslist....so another question i have is, is there a warranty sticker to show if its ever been taken apart? maybe the previous owner replaced it with a cheap POS screen, that why it eats more battery...

Hmm ... I'm not sure about the replacement screen theory ... that seems like a lot of work for ??? benefit.
I second the advice about going stock and not installing any apps. Also, I don't see that you listed some of the things from Battery Use and Spare Parts that are listed as taking up battery life. There are apps that start things up automatically (e.g. Pandora always starts a service when I connect my bluetooth headset, even though it doesn't do audio and I've never used Pandora over bluetooth) ... sometimes you can change this in the settings, sometimes you have to decide how much you want to live with the app.
Out of curiosity, do you leave WiFi on when not connected to a network? I find that sucks battery pretty bad. I use Locale to turn that off when not at home and only turn it back on if I need it. I also used a widget called Traffic Monitor for a little while to see what was using data.
Honestly, you won't be able to return it to Verizon. My husband bought an Ally off Ebay and found out when we got the phone that something wasn't right, so he went to Verizon store and once they found out where it was bought they didn't even want to help him out.
I would suggest calling Verizon and tell them that the phone you have now doesn't work period. You'll need to emphasize that you need a phone that works. I called Verizon the same night that the store didn't help my hubby out and after an hour with the customer rep, I was able to get a new Ally ordered for him and his upgrade date wasn't until Dec of this year. He got his new phone late Feb/March I believe.
If they say they can't help you, keep telling them that you need a phone, and then ask them if they can see if a supervisor will be able to help you out. I stayed on the call with them, until they had that new phone ordered for him-I didn't give up. If the 1st day you call doesn't pan out, call them the next day as each rep is diff and some are really wanting to help, others couldn't care less.
Hope this helps you out.

I did offer a suggestion, which is the same thing that Verizon would ask you to do, and its the same suggestion even most Carriers should ask you. Same with a lot of computer companies should ask you when you are having issues with your computer.
Reset your machine to standard stock, run all your updates, don't install any apps, and see if it still happens, if your battery is just as bad, then we know its either your phone or battery, either way Verizon will trade it out for you, because honestly what else can it be? The only way Verizon can really say tough luck and deal with it is if the battery life he is saying he gets, is what everyone else gets, which we all know is not true.

I update OTA last week on Verizon to Froyo 2.2. My battery was overheating and draining like crazy from my CPU usage being at a constant 99%..
I found the source of the problem. An app I use for facebook called "FLOW". The CPU usage was cut to 20% when I killed it with "Advanced Task Killer".
I resolved the issue by: Opening Flow.. going to Preferences.. Notification Settings.. Refresh Type.. Checked Periodic Polling (I was using Gmail Experimental previously)
Hope this helps...

Factory reset is an option
Root, flash custom ROM
Flashing will increase battery life, and the responsiveness of your phone
Same thing happened to it kept doing it over n over T-Mobile didn't do anything they're gonna send u a battery. That's all I rooted flashed new rom n one of faux older kernels new ones not stable I'd say underclocked to 1188 n phones been running great and battery last me 10-12 hours which for anyone with an amaze knows that's alot lol

The same exact thing happened to me when my Amaze was new. It shut down on it's own almost daily, but sometimes it would take a few days until it shut itself off and I think it went as long as 4 days one time. My phone is stock. I thought about returning the phone, but never got around to it and now that I have had it for a few months it has just stopped shutting off on it's own. I don't think I changed anything, but the phone works perfectly now.
I wish I could give a definitive answer on how to stop the shut down's, but I tried various things and nothing seemed to help. Somehow it fixed itself over time.

I'm in the same boat as the OP.
Bought the Amaze brand new and it would reboot itself 2-3 a day when it was just sitting on my desk at work or home.
I rooted it and removed the T-Mobile bloatware, made no difference.
I then put Bulletproof rom on it and made no difference.
I then put Faux123 kernal on it with the Bulletproof rom...no difference.
I got a new battery and it made no difference.
Phone just reboots 2-3 times a day. It locked up overnight last night and I overslept since I use it as an alarm too.
Dunno what else to do...

Changing from Stock kernal to Faux123's didn't resolve it for me either. In the Energy Rom thread a couple people said once they flashed his rom that their reboot's went away. I just flashed it today and we'll see what happens.
I'm still on Faux123's kernal with the Energy Rom. If it reboots still, I might switch back to Stock kernal with Energy Rom to see if that makes a difference.
Phone just locked up and rebooted using Energy Rom with Faux123 kernal. Just installed Stock kernal, we'll see what happens...
Well I'm stumped and frustrated. The Amaze is a great piece of hardware but it seems to have rebooting issues just like the LG G2x did.
I have the stock kernal with Energy Rom and I've wiped it and have no apps installed. And after a couple hours it still locks up and reboots.
I'm about ready to dump the phone.
No matter what kernal/Rom I use...it just reboots after a couple hours time...
Are you using any sort of task managers or probably a certain app causing it to reboot. Do a factory/data reset and don't install anything for 24hrs and see if the problems continue. Also, you should backup the contents of you external sdcard and re-format it. And do the same with your phones internal memory card. There could be a file on there (maybe from a previous Android Device) that is not cooperating with the Amaze. Just gotta figure it out. Good Luck.

I don't know if T-Mo will see it this way, but assuming you take, or have already taken, Double0EK's advice above, I'd try to get T-Mo to replace it as hardware defective. I've had zero reboots and I ran stock for 6 weeks and the Energy ROM for nearly two.

Battery Jumps

I have been wandering around XDA now for about the last 3 months looking for my problem and no one seems to have the same issue...
When my battery gets down to 20%, it immediately jumps to 15%.
I'm not new to this, I've tried several ROMs and several kernels. I got the firmware patch hoping that the issues would go away. I've had random battery ups and downs.. sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but never consistent and acceptable. When I say "good" I'm referring to about 6 hours of very light use.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.
Currently running CleanROM DE with Firmware patch.

I have a 3.7... But this is my second battery, the first one was a 3.8...
It did not do it when I bought it stock, or even when I started rooting it. It started after about the 3rd ROM I put on it, and I've never been able to get rid of it. It does get hot, but its not really out of the norm.. (most dual core phones with 4g are going to get warm, 4g takes an extreme amount of energy to use)
I can't believe this hasn't been brought up earlier... I was only hesitant to bring it up in development because I didn't want to be accused of not using the search button.

It has been brought up, but people said that it's a bad battery. I'm not convinced it's battery, I think there's something more going on. It happened to me, stock, out of the box, and with multiple batteries.
Here's a thread I posted about this a few months ago-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514134
Run the battery down until the device powers down on its own, this will not hurt the device or battery. Keep the phone off and let the battery charge up fully. Do this a few times....

Just read your post... you're right... not much help there. And I agree, I can't see a brand new battery that's never been used or re-calibrated showing the same "symtoms" as the old battery. It has got to be something not hardware related. All my brothers have Rezounds and I actually let one of them use my battery and it didn't do it in their phone, so a bad battery is out of the question I think.

The one I swapped with has the same exact ROM as I do as well as the same kernel. The only difference may be his recovery. I think he has one version newer Amon Ra than I do... but I've been using the same recovery since the beginning, and it started doing this well after flashing that recovery.

I've done that with other ROMs in the past for this same issue, but not with this new ROM and firmware. I'll be sure to give that a try tomorrow when it dies... it just got a full charge. Thanks for reminding me of that little trick.

The one I swapped with has the same exact ROM as I do as well as the same kernel. The only difference may be his recovery. I think he has one version newer Amon Ra than I do... but I've been using the same recovery since the beginning, and it started doing this well after flashing that recovery.

are you using 4g/3g when this occurs?, WiFi, which band?, powersave mode?, basically all the settings.....
Does it do this at 100% stock, not even signing in to your google account or updating apps.
Have you tried a different sdcard? Be surprised how this little piece if plastic can crush a system.

What is different about those rezounds from yours? Unlocked, rooted, stock, pure stock, launcher, apk/apps? All of these or one could have a factor.....

It happened to me stock, out of the box. It happened to me stock rooted debloated, happened to me unlocked s-on, happened to me s-off. Happened to me on GB firmware. Happened to me ICS firmware. It's obviously a problem bigger an an apk or an app.

using primarily 4g, no wifi (N when I do), no powersave mode. Thinking back, it started with the first ROM that had powersave mode. Since then I've always disabled that feature hoping it would go away, all with no luck.
It never did it when it was stock, I certainly don't want to revert it back to check now. Haven't checked when initially setting up after a flash, so I don't know if Google affects it at all.
Haven't tried a different SD card. Though I may take it out and see how it behaves after I do a dead charge on it.

It's not your SD card. Your SD card has nothing to do with your battery jumping, I promise you. If I had to guess, I'd say it's something with the kernel, but what do I know. It should be more wide-spread if it's the kernel.

I agree. That makes me wonder if it has anything to do with the SIM card.

Hmm. I have an extra, unused SIM in its package here, I'll pop it in tomorrow and run my battery down, see if it happens. Not sure why it'd be the SIM though.. got a theory?
Simcards do go bad, as do sdcards.

For sure, but why would that cause either inaccurate battery readings, or massive power drain? It's actually not really clear which one it is, of those options, but it'd have to be absolutely enormous power drain to go from 25%-14% in a short period. So how would a SIM or SD card cause inaccurate battery readings? I ask because I have no idea, not being snarky.

[Q] sleep of death/overheating in CNA or AOKP?

im on CM10 right now and ive been having trouble with the sleep of death and overheating. Im wondering if anyone's had this problem on CNA or AOKP? Ill probably end up trying both out anyway, but Im hoping for some advice before i go ahead with it.

I'm on CNA right now, for maybe two weeks. Had the sleep of death/overheating twice, two days in a row. Don't know what caused it or why only twice but haven't had it in a while. It's an awesome rom.

tried the CNA nightly, and overheating wasnt such a problem, but the sleep of death was even worse.
Its only happened to me twice. Once for tethering excessively which caused the battery to overheat. The second time was because I was over clocked at 1400 MHz and it was locked at that speed without realizing it.

yeah, now im on cm7 and my phone will almost never turn on and using it for more than five minutes kills it.
Im thinking my issues might be hardware related at this point. just ordered another battery, but something tells me that isnt the problem.
what really sucks is i cant flash it back to stock without it booting up.

Suggestions I got were to freeze fast dormancy modem, sbf back to stock and re unlock using a sbf from peetr or do some settings with setcpu to slow down from heating up. So far only thing that showed some improvement is sbf back to stock and unlocking again but I've been adding apps slowly just in case a rouge app is screwing things up and it hasn't rebooted yet.

[Q] Phone suddenly gets hot and reboots randomly

Hey guys. I have had my EVO LTE since it was released last year and all of a sudden this past week the phone gets really hot and then will reboot itself. It does this sometimes when I am playing a game and sometimes even when I am not doing anything. The phone also seems to die faster than it used to. Is maybe the battery going in it? Any thing I should try?
I have not done any changes to the phone in months. I am still running MeanRom 6.5.2 and stock kernel.

I recently had the same problem. It would overheat constantly, especially when playing a game, and if you charged the phone and tried to use it at the same time, it would only overheat faster. I got my phone when it first came out as well. The tech made up something about a short in the power button, but they did end up replacing the phone for me. You'll have to go back to complete stock of course before bringing it into the sprint store. If you need any assistance getting your phone backed up or back to stock, shoot me a message.
Thanks for the info! Yeah I know I will bring i have to put it back to stock before bringing it in. I'm good with doing all that.

If you do any overclocking, that may be the issue. Try to set it to a much lower value. The processor in this phone runs at an approved max. of 1.5GHz. Try to throttle it back to 1.0GHz and see what that gets you. I know the meanROM has a few versions that automatically overclock and that may be the issue as well. If you don't overclock,(speed up the natural CPU clock) then I would bring it back to Sprint. It seems like it may be a manufacturer's defect.
Hope that helped,

It is set at 1.3GHz but as I have said I haven't changed anything in months on it. Do you still think I should change it? I will plan to do some backups this weekend so I can return to stock for Sprint to look at.

When I first noticed the heat problems, my phone was on MeanBean 3.09 and underclocked. I tried underclocking it more, I even tried removing the case to see if it would cool off. I decided to flash it all back to stock and see if that was the problem, and the phone still overheated on stock. Out of curiosity, have you dropped the phone or damaged it in any way?

I would flash with the stock Rom and bring it back to Sprint. If u guys underclocked it and it still overheats, then I would think it is a manufacturer's defect. It doesn't make sense that the phone will still overheat with the cpu being underclocked.
