I have gone from Gingerblur, to Alien, to all the CM7 betas without a single problem.
After installing Faux's 2.0 enhanced kernal on my CM7, I now have a dead region of my touchscreen which is a little above the middle of the screen, 1/4 inch all the way across (horizontally). I verified this by using the touch test app from the market.
It is also very obvious as scrolling is extremely laggy.
I have already tried wiping my phone with fastboot, performing the PDS fix, and then wiping again in recovery and reinstalling CM7.
On top of that, the entire touch screen will become unresponsive at times. For example, I will receive a phone call and when I try to perform the unlock swipe to answer the call, nothing will register. I have to turn the screen off, then turn it back on and try again.
I had been running the CM7 beta for weeks with no hiccups what so ever but even though I am back on 100% 2.4 Motoblur, no fix.
To try to get as close to stock as possible, wipe with fastboot, install 1.83, then download the OTA update to Gingerbread, gets rid of Unlocked logo on bootscreen.

Please guys, any ideas? The only thing I can link to this problem is faux's kernal. I had been running the CM7 beta for weeks with no hiccups what so ever but even though I am back on 100% stock CM7 fresh install, I still have this problem.

try to go back to stock with a fruitcake. If that doesn't work, flash the gingerbread sbf with rsd lite. Id that didn't work then you probably need a new digitizer

Well, I have done some research and others are having the same problem.
Looks like our phones digitizers have a short lifespan and eventually simply fail.
Will be calling for a replacement asap.
OP updated with links to others with the same problem.
Also, I've noticed more and more people seem to be getting an issue where there is a ghost finger over the letter q in portrait keyboard.
Seems like a software issue to me. Problems only arise once any flashing has taken place, especially kernels.
I have the exact same problem. Is it confirmed to be a hardware problem?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I have seen the same issue as mine occur on phones that have never been flashed by an end user before.
I should add:
Flashing a new ROM doesn't help.
Flashing PDS doesn't help.
Flashing with RSD doesn't help.
The only thing I've found to help is the Samsung Galaxy S touchscreen booster app. Generally, if I do this a few times: apply any random setting in the app, restart phone, apply a new setting again
The problem goes away for a while.
The problem also goes away and comes back again by itself, but the SGS booster app seems to help.
I have no idea if the issue is software or not. The randomness makes me think it is a hardware issue, but the fact I can make it go away for a while with the SGS booster app doesn't.
I have the same problem. Sometimes I knock the screen and it is getting better for a while. According to forums, AT&T replaces phones with that problems. But Orange has a ROM with a fix. http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles...4.4.20_Orange_GB_Upgrade_Release_Notes_GB.htm
So, is it hardware or software problem?
Same problem for me. Took it apart, put in a new digitizer. Problem solved without touching software (Cm7). Not sure if this is true for everyone but for me it was definitely hardware.

Your digitizer connector is cracked.
It happens from over heating your phone.

If it was a software related issue, simply erasing system,boot,preinstall,userdata and flashing a new rom or that touchscreen fix for those who messed up their partition would fix it.
Howevever since it's that area (roughly 10% of the screen horizontally) that's the first effected area.
If you're curious as to proof, use the touch screen tester app, and apply pressure to the top left of your screen in multiple areas to cause the digitizer connector to move and it will change according to the touch test app.

Because I do not live in USA. I bought my phone through E-bay. To fix my phone through official warranty service I should spent much more money than to buy new digitizer.

As in the connector is cracked and overheating caused it. I had the same problem before and I checked the connectors and digitizer. No damage at all and no cracked connectors at all. It is true that applying pressure to the top of the screen causes the screen to register random inputs but after I got the phone back from moto, I found they put some plastic parts to make the top of the phone more sturdy.

After flashing, the phone sometimes had came up color distortion. After reset..It will back to normal. But today the phone stuck on color distortion and reset with no luck. Please help how to bring it back to normal..
Thnx!!!
can you post some pictures so we get an idea of what you're dealing with?
I have the same problem every now & then. I even had it in for repairs but they only re-flashed it When this problem occurs, try "tapping" on the screen with your fingers or on the back of the phone. Works for me everytime.
A couple of times I've had green/yellow horizontal streaks on the screen. The icons etc under the streaks are still visible but discoloured.
This cannot be captured in a screen shot taken on the phone, I've tried and the capture looks Ok once the streaking has gone
Is this similar to your problem?

Yes, same problem.
I don't know what causes it but I haven't flashed my phone.
The first time it happened I could only clear it by taking out the battery.
Then I cleared it a couple of times by soft reset and a couple of times just by unlocking the phone.
I emailed HTC and they suggested a hard reset.

i tried task 29 which fixed the problem

i think before the first try to fix this problem was by using task 29 - this fixed the problem for 5 days then this issue came back and when i tried to use the task 29 again it wasnt work and the problem not fixed
then the distortion was very minor then it found growing day by day till it reach the full screen
regarding how to return the device to the original factory setting - yes i have the original rom but it is no the rom only - i have to return the device to the same SPL and also to find any other things might be exists in the original setting
if the dealer catch me that i flashed other roms he might refuse to fix the issue in order to save the fixing money
moreover
i got another worst and serious issue

that doesnt sound good...anyways ...check this out...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779088&highlight=flashing+original+spl

What can I do now?
Can someone explain what is task 29?
I tried a hard reset today but nothing happened. Its still not working. Now I am facing an additional problem.
The phone keeps throwing me back to the home page. Whatever I open, whatever I do, the phone just throws me back to the home page within 2-3 seconds.
Can this be attributed to some virus?
Thanks,
Mohit Goyal
task 29 is a software to delet the rom and will make the phone withought any rom
about this issue, i submitted the same question in other forum and the experts told me that it is a motherboard issue

I'm having random reboots and I haven't even rooted/modded in any way. I got a system update earlier today, but it was doing it before that. It might be one of my apps, but it only happens when the screen is off and I'm trying to turn it back on to use the phone. I've tried factory resets and battery pulls so I figure its an app, or having the social lock screen.

It must be a hardware issue then. I've been looking into it more and it seems to be happening to slit if people on slit of roms. Most of what I found said it was kernel related but if your having it happen and your not rooted I'm not so sure its kernel related then.

It's definitely hardware. It's the proximity sensor, I believe. I picked up a phone call, and when I put the phone up to my face (I didn't touch my face to the phone, just my ear), the screen didn't shut off, and then rebooted. After it started back up, I called the person back, and when I brought the phone up to my face, the screen shut off as it should, and stayed in the call until I hit end, and it's still on. I received a second call and it had the same behavior. Reboot upon bringing it up to my face the first time, fine the second time. When I try to bring the phone out of standby I thought it was the live unlock screen I had (weather), but it seems to bee the light sensor or proximity sensor... boo..
[EDIT] Just did a factory reset. Market is installing my apps. We'll see how this time around goes.
So far so good. all my apps are re-installed. I have yet to check my games for my data, but I took a phone call and the screen turned off quickly when I brought it up to my face.
That's the same way it happened to me during a phone call but I was on hold for twwenty minutes with it on speaker and once they picked up I put it to my face and ....reboot. like you said boo
Well I got rid of eternity and with new rom(Olympus Trinity XE) and kernel mild anthrax I have not had a reboot yet. Its only been 12 hours but it was happening every few hours before.

I usually have my E3D in it's Otterbox clipped on my belt, and no problems arise. Last week I went out to a bar and it was very warm in the bar, and the phone was in my pocket. It rebooted once out of the blue. I'll keep it on the belt clip.
Rooted, Stock rom.
I'm planning on getting am otterbox very soon.
As for rebooting, it's still doing it, once when a Words with Friends game wouldn't load and another time while trying to load Paradise Island. I'm now thinking it's the video driver.
I rooted my Intercept and changed the driver. I would rather not root this device if I can't unroot it...

There is a rom to unroot. Its a stock rom once you flash turns your securities back on(s-on). Which is good in case you ever have to take it back to sprint.

From what I can do on an unmodified device, I found this in the "Tell HTC" log.
local_clk_disable_reg: clock 72 status stuck at 'on'
This happens a few times in the log. I've been taking screenshots of the log to post, but I haven't had the time to go through the whole log. The next time I get a chance, the phone has already rebooted 3 times. It's definitely not my app because it's no longer on my system.
Also, I don't know if this goes with it, but I sometimes have to do a PRL update to get out of roaming. I'm in my local, high-signal area... I'm eventually just going to call and get a replacement.

This is all untouched stock from Sprint.
But wait! It gets better! I wasn't using the phone last night, and it kept rebooting every 20 minutes +/-, then it gets stuck in a boot loop (which it's still stuck in). As mentioned before, I have to update the PRL every time I reboot the phone, so could it automatically be routing itself to a bad radio? Not that it matters, I have to factory reset anyway...
I went into recovery to do a factory reset (boo... going to try to adb pull my data, first) and I noticed that during the image check, two of the images are the "wrong" image (PG86DIAG and PG86IMG... something like that). Is this bad? I went from a Samsung Intercept to the Evo 3D so there's some major differences between stock recovery and CM01 heh.
Shooter XC Ship S-On RL
HBOOT version 1.50.0000 (used to be 1.4 and I only did the OTA update and install some apps/games)

Sorry for somewhat hijacking this thread, by the way. I just think it's strange to have all these problems on a stock device (though stock isn't great... ever). When I initially came on to search about it I noticed your post and jumped right in lol.
I'm glad I didn't root this thing right off the bat because of the watermark, and because of this stupid page fault.
I think wrong image thing is just your phone searchiibg for update IMG when you open the bootloader I would have to see exactly but its normal for it to check for pcwhateverimg. Whenever the bootkaoder opens. Since you have s on and don't have to worry about losing root access it night not be a had idea to update to the latest radios . Then if you still have the problem try to tIe it back. I haven't been having the problem anymore with a new kernel and new usb cord. Since it seemed to be when I plugged in. But as ling as I don't overclock above 1.6ghz I've has no problems Anymore

I'm going with the acct holder (my bro-in-law) tomorrow to get a replacement. Seems we're not the only ones. There's another thread on here about this very topic...
As for rooting it, I need to read more, but doesn't it leave a mark saying it's been modded if it's 1.5 or greater, thus not returnable? I remember the Intercept doesn't have that so it was no problem switching back and forth, but it was a b***h to get a solid root...

I didn't read everything on hboot 1.5 but I know there is some different steps. I know there is a ROM to flash to get back to s on which is all you need for warranty to not be void I'm sure it says whether or not it works with that hboot.

Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Oh, this is so good it has to be fattening!
So I did a factory reboot and it lasted like 8 hours, whoopee...
I bring it in to Sprint and they have the tech look at it, estimating 45 minutes to an hour. Good, I had gift shopping to do. I come back and the girl gives me the (same) phone and asks me to log in. I do, and it updated my contacts, etc. She then said "He reset and updated the software so it should be okay now."
"... so why does it still say I'm roaming?"
"It does? Let me see."
She brings it to the tech, who performs the "magical" PRL update, which I TOLD them I HAD to do after every reset I did. Fine. It's working now, and I have no roaming charges, so not worried about the bill. I go home and enjoy the rest of my time before work. I get into my work parking lot, and the phone resets. Mother ****ers. I'm back in roaming, too!
Looks like I have somewhere to be first thing in the morning and to directly talk to the tech and ask, "Did you really think that a severe page fault that's embedded into the ROM would be cleared by a factory reset? The device needs to be flashed or replaced."
I told the girl straight up that I can fix it in 20 minutes, and that I rooted and modded my Intercept on Virgin Mobile (which they sign contracts at that location for heh) and it cleared up all my problems. Then, that I can't do that with this phone because I can't return it if it screws up again.
Ugh! Why do they release crap like this?! There are thousands of people that have this phone with this rebooting problem... Shouldn't there be a recall? Even on the Sprint customer forums there's posts about it, so Sprint KNOWS of this issue, especially if a manager replaced 8 devices in one day for the same problem.
So anyway, I'm on my way home from work, and I click the phone on to pull Pandora up, and it resets, but it doesn't go back to the home screen. It's stuck in a boot loop again! YES! I removed and replaced the battery and it did it again. I took the battery out and just set it on my desk, waiting for the tech to turn it on. Hooray that it got stuck, so I can rub this in his face. I should be working there, not him. (Sorry for my ranting, I'm just tired of Android problems because of carriers changing the software and locking it up. Google WANTS people to make the software their own!)

I've seen that on another forum. Thank you for the SD card insight. Just as a precaution, I'm just going to pull all the crap off my card and format it with the SD Formatter. I don't remember what the "brand" is but I know it's the right one. Should I back it up and format through the phone, or use the adapter and format the computer way? I'm thinking phone...
I talked directly to the tech today and told her what the log said and that it needs to be reflashed. After the estimated time she gave it back saying that she ran it through every test their system can run and the software has no errors (which my logs say as well), but she reflashed anyway to make sure (I'm still not sure how she logged into my gmail if she reset it...) I have to call corporate for the roaming issue because I'm connecting to the wrong tower, which she doesn't have permission/clearance to change. If, after fixing the roaming, it still does reboot, it will be replaced. I'm still under warranty, so I'm curious as to why they're trying to keep me on, what I believe to be, a defective device... Because they can't detect anything wrong with it...
I have yet to install any apps (minus Tapatalk) and the phone has yet to reboot, and its been in my pocket all day so I would have felt it reboot. Shame because it's one of my paid apps (one out of 6), Paradise Island, Angry Birds (which wasn't opened at all during this, but it was installed), or Words with Friends. I also had ScummVM but the reboots started way before I installed it and the engines. Those are the only apps I installed the last couple times because I'm sick of reinatalling all my apps. Bigger shame because I can't install apps until I'm sure of what the problem is. Why have an amazing phone I can't use a paid app on? I'm just frustrated at this point... I have a lot of back traces to read through and no list of what is what because the phone has been cleared since then... Does the memory map stay the same no matter if it gets reset? I haven't done any Linux kernel programming so I'm learning as I Google which is what it's meant for.
I really want to Update the PRL to see if it will help with my battery life, which it should, but I don't want to change anything, in case it messes up again. It will be proof its defective. Ugh... What to do...

[EDIT] My SD card has been unmounted for who knows how long! I just remounted it as is to see if it starts rebooting.
I started having this issue about 4 or 5 days ago. randomly my phone will pop up SIM card removed, please restart. I restart the phone has no signal, I reboot once more and all is right with the world. It's starting to get annoying though. I've tried this with PA and SB and it happens in both. Additionally recently my GPS has been having one heck of a time locking when it used to take 10 seconds and with SB it won't even acknowledge that the GPS is even turned on. I don't remove my SIM card at all, the phone isn't dropped or treated harshly. Is this a hardware issue and should I contact Samsung for a replacement? I haven't flashed back to stock yet, but I think that might be my next step as if nobody has any ideas.
Any thoughts?
Current config:
Rooted, SlimBean 2.9.0, Radio UCFL6 Kernel 3.0.49-cyanogenmod-g00e92fa

Additionally recently my GPS has been having one heck of a time locking when it used to take 10 seconds and with SB it won't even acknowledge that the GPS is even turned on. I don't remove my SIM card at all, the phone isn't dropped or treated harshly. Is this a hardware issue and should I contact Samsung for a replacement? I haven't flashed back to stock yet, but I think that might be my next step as if nobody has any ideas.
Any thoughts?
Current config:
Rooted, SlimBean 2.9.0, Radio UCFL6 Kernel 3.0.49-cyanogenmod-g00e92fa
Thanks

I am having these issues as well that have suddenly surfaced. I have tried different Roms and other radios all with the same results. I recieve a pop up when for some reason it can't find a mobile network and wants me to reinsert my sim card. Data seems to work but no phone calls or txt msgs. Sometimes I'll have to reboot serveral times to get it back to operating normal. It's almost like something happens to my APN settings because I am unable to look at them when this happens, it just kicks me out.

It could very well be your APN settings. When unapproved flags are address, the network has the ability to knock you off of a custom APN to the high-priority APN profile. If your APN profile has the "Hipri" flag, which marks it as the default, and your network kicks you off of it, it will keep trying to connect using the bad profile. Which is why you shouldn't use that flag for custom APNs.

That makes some sense as it isn't a set amount of time before it happens, and it happens in different ROMS. But I'm using the APN that's in those ROMs, and it only seems to happen when my phone is idle. I haven't migrated my phone to Stock yet, but when it happens again, I think I just might.

I'm in the same boat as you. Yesterday was unbearable. I must have rebooted my phone < 20 times during the course of the day. I've been through my devices with various roms over the years and this just stinks. I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem at this time or a faulty sim card.

Have you attempted to replace your SIM or return the phone all the way to prerooted setup? My phone has been behaving the last couple of days (said it was no better than an Iphone, seemed to have taken it to heart), so I haven't tried wiping back to factory setup. It seemed to get really bad there for a while for me, I rebooted as much as 8 or 10 times a week or so ago, this week seems better. This week will be a good test because it's a holiday and a lot of people will be on their phones and we can see if it's an APN thing or a hardware thing. From my testing it's either hardware or network interfacting, not ROM unless it's Kernel, but if it were kernel a whole lot more people would be having these issues.

I haven't tried to revert back as of yet or replace the sim card. Had 2 issues so far today and I couldn't take it anymore so I ended up taking out my sim and brushing the contacts with an old toothbrush. I then cut a small piece of paper and slid it in with the card on the back of it. Its in there tight and making great contact now. Pretty sad that this is what its gotten to but I haven't had any issues yet. Will keep everyone updated though.
Sorry to dig up an old thread of mine, but I figured it would be better than opening a new one. The issue has changed a little. I'm still running into the issue of the network not connecting, but now seems to occur only when I reboot. I've rebooted my phone probably 30 or so times today and my network hasn't returned. I did notice something though. While I'm having this issue, I attempted to access my APNs list and it dumps back to settings. Anyone having these issues as well? Also anyone have any idea which service the APN/phone system rely on? maybe all that it needs is to be for stopped, cleared and restarted?
Thanks guys.
Galaxy Note SIM card removed please reboot
I'm getting this all of a sudden. I've been using a stock original ROM for 8 months, and 3 weeks ago I woke up one morning with this message. Every couple of days I was getting this message. I then went to the AT&T corporate store and got a replacement SIM card. This had no effect. So I thought, I'll try a new ROM and see if that helps, I backed up with online Nandroid, and loaded "[STOCK ROM] IML74K.UCLD3 for SGH-I717" loaded perfectly, and all functions seem to work so far. However, since I did this last night I've had to reboot the phone like 10 times. I've reseated the SIM card, but still get the error message.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I've read this thread and see the APN issue, but from what I've read here that seems to be part of the ROM loaded...
Back story, I tried the kies update around 8 months ago, and while it did update, all the icons would disappear from the notification bar, and then reload, every few minutes. If I was on a call during this, the call would be dropped. Since I couldn't undo the change through kies, I came here and went with what seemed to be the original stock ROM for the Note, but Kies no longer recognized it as a supported firmware. So when this issue happened I came back here to upgrade.

this is a software issue i have finally gotten it fixed.
I had JB 4.1.2.
You will need to download ODIN and flash here are the firmwares for your specific phone.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
I used ICS and the problem has gone. Make sure you do a factory reset through stock recoveryt mode after the phone reboots from installing the new software. To get to this screen press volume up, home and power and let go when blue print comes at the top.
Is not software issue , is Note model issue. The way to fix it is making a paper with the size of the SIM and put the SIM and the paper together into SIM place. The Galaxy Note SIM card place is little more bigger than others phone and SIM is not contacting good there. I just tried on some phones , on all them working but on NOte the SIM was moving and it gaves the error. Here I add a photo of how is my Note looking, just to say my SIM card is white.

I was in class today and my phone vibrated a few times notifying me of text messages. I checked the phone when I got outside and was greeted by this screen
http://i.imgur.com/WFQ33Rf.jpg
Not my phone, but the same problem!
I've been running the same CM 10 rom for months now. I can't remember if it was a stable or RC but it was good enough that I didn't feel the need to mess with my phone for perhaps the last 5 or 6 months. It's been a while.
Details:
The phone still vibrates and receives messages. I know this because I'm confirming with google voice online that messages are coming in when its vibrating. I can turn the screen on and off, but I'm just greeted by this screen. I can force the phone to reboot by holding the power button, but even the starting animations won't show. It turns on immediately to this. During the start-up animation, it usually has a point where the screen brightens and then dims and even this occurs. The buttons and everything are all doing what they need to do. I can unlock the screen and everything as I can feel the feedback. The volume rocker works and reacts properly. Everything is working except the screen.
Any ideas?
I'd like to apologize if this is a common problem and the solution is posted somewhere as I have not frequented these boards recently and am currently at work so I can't spend much time searching.
Yeah, see my post about the confetti. It went confetti very soon after it went contrast. I run stock CPU speed with stock voltage.
Ironic that yours happens just as mine did. I'm using the phone now. I have the screen turned on to never go to sleep now so that I don't have to try and wake it up. Then I may get that screen and to prevent that? Turn it off, turn it on, turn off, turned on and eventually I'll get the lock screen.
I run meanbean rom with the 1.19 hboot, s-on. I'm going to return it to stock then take it back to sprint. Provided I can keep the phone functional long enough to do this.
This will be my second phone to do this. First 1 did it last September.

It's a shame. I've had this since launch and haven't had a single problem with it. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I turn the screen on and off, I can't get it to the lock screen.
Edit: I have a feeling this isn't going to be an easy fix. I'm gonna switch to my brothers old Evo 3D as soon as I get home
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38160970 is my original post (first)
I would like to add the screen freezes when the battery gets to a full charge. Unplug it and it recovers almost instantly. Interesting I'd say.

Yeah, I went through your post. I can see that no one really had any idea for you either which was kinda disheartening. I'll have to play around with it when I get home tonight, but I'll be forced to switch to an older phone as I won't have enough time to fix this on my own right now
Sprint exchanged the first one because the grfx chip went bad according to them. My concern is that it was not that long ago and now I have the same issue. How old is your phone?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
My concern is that they won't exchange it unless I can get it back to stock, but I'm assuming there's no way for them to know considering they can't access anything on the screen?
I've had the phone since June. Never had a problem with it
I think the screen might show via the hdmi feature but I'm not going to force the issue. You should be able to answer incoming call via bluetooth adaptor. I can also listen to Pandora via bluetooth through my head unit in my truck. Also make phone calls through my head unit to but I'm not going go to the car in the phone calls unless I'm in it.
If your proficient with voice commands via bluetooth or Google Voice you maybe able to get some functionality of the phone for a little bit more time. I would like to see if other folks have this issue also.

I found a link to this program which allows you to access your phones screen that I think may be helpful! I'm going to use this to get what I need off the phone, get it back to stock, and return it to the store tomorrow. I'll update this post later tonight when I get home
The only time this happened to me is when my voltages were too low. I would boot into recovery and reflash your ROM or the voltage increase script in thick lizards dev host folder.
If you can get to recovery which shouldn't be a problemyou can fix this easily.

Have you tried getting into the bootloader?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I tried using android screencast, but I don't think it's possible to get it running without interacting with the phone. I can't even connect the phone to my computer and use it as a storage device because I don't remember exactly where the buttons are. At this point, I'm considering flashing cm10 onto another device so that I can see where everything is and replicate the location of the screen presses on my LTE to try the voltage trick or reflashing the rom.
I'm very likely going to take it in as is and hope they don't have any way to see if its rooted or not and just give me a replacement.

Zori, is your evo S Off? Then you can flash individual kernels I think. If it is, then take a CLOSE look at unlimited.io/jewel.htm because most of that procedure is remote terminal. If you do it via ubantu, I'm thinking you can push the proper package onto the phone and update it that way.
The hardest part will be getting to recovery from the hboot screen and BAM!

At the very least it can get you to the point of getting to stock I think. My phone seams to have recovered a bit at stock. I briefly see the confetti when I wake it. I can imagine that it would be an under volt condition while powering on. You can do it mate the force is strong.

How did you make out with this issue? The same thing happened to me today. Running 10.1. Cant even see revovery.
Answer to confetti screen issue
My phone did this exact thing on Saturday. I took it in to the Sprint store, and the tech there (the only one I've ever run in to who really knows his stuff, Phil in Westminster), explained that there is a cable between the battery and screen that is "kinked" and loses contact. If you squeeze the phone really hard just above the back button the screen will come back on for a bit. They did agree to send me a new phone (I am rooted, and running a custom ROM, they did not care). I've been able to get enough functionality out of it to get by for about two days, but as of last night the screen only stays on the "confetti", and won't come back at all.
Anyway, hope that helps a bit!

I instinctively started pressing the screen and it came back on.. must be the same prob like ur sprint guy said..
I'm thinking of going to sprint store but I don't have their insurance or total equipment protection plan.. so, any clue on if they will replace? Do u guys have the TEP?

I didn't think I had insurance, and they were going to charge me $50 for a replacement. After they looked at my account it turned out I did have insurance on this line, so no charge.
Unfortunately, I got the replacement last night, and sound doesn't work on this one! Getting yet another replacement on Friday.
This is finally starting to get some attention.
Just wanted to let others know who have this problem to check these links out for more info and to share your bug reports, findings.
If we're lucky maybe Google will finally admit there's a problem and do something about it.

Yeah, I've tried a clean install and still have the same problem.
I'm convinced it's a hardware issue.
Thanks for letting me know, just finished a support chat. They seem to think it's a faulty battery and are sending a new (refurbished) device. We'll see what happens.
I had this issue almost daily once I went to 7.0. Even with clean installs if I remember right. I got a refurbished phone over a month ago and it hasn't happened since. Plus my battery life is better or at least as good as when I got my original phone a year ago.

I was having same issue. Until someone referred me to a guide burried deep in the forum. Basically, the procedure involved flashing the stock MM image then booting into the bootloader and flashing custom recovery (TWRP) through bootloader. Then the OP provided link to a TWRP backup that I manually transferred to the twrp backup folder on my phone. Entered recovery and restored my phone through that backup. Only then did it work. Took me about 6 hours after much trial and error. But God bless that person. If I find that guide I will post a link here to exit bootloop!
P.s. Just remembered I had it bookmarked. It worked for me. Give it a try!

That was just an answer to the first comment I saw on the post.. Thought I'd help. But with the battery issue.. My phone seems to die around 5-10℅ battery depending on the day
Sometimes mine dies between 5-15%. Never seen it happening with more juice in it then 15% though. I'm thinking about going back to the online shop where I bought it from.
my does it at 15% automatically.. but sometimes at 35% it shuts off.. then i reboot and its at 30%.. like wth..... I moved on to the V20 (t-mobile had a crazy black friday deal) but I kept the nexus 6p. I really like the phone... does it on both stock rom and custom..
For whatever it's worth I don't have that issue purchase my Nexus 6p 3 months ago at Best Buy

I don't have that issue. And I have the phone since Dec 2015. It only appeared to restart twice while on DP2 (in all realness, it sat at the "enter screen unlock pin").
I highly doubt it's a hardware issue since it started with Nougat. Did anyone of you roll back to MM and see if the problem persists?
wow the google issue site has skyrocket.. it was at 75 replies. two days ago to 455 as of now.. all same issue...
Lets keep this updated with any & all info.
Gotta get Huawei or Google to take responsibility for this.
They have to know that we all can do a Samsung to their bottom lines.
I'm getting my RMA new one tomorrow but today was a mess again.

Yes, it happened on MM too although Im on Nougat now.
I've read about this issue for months and always thought I was one of the lucky ones since I'd never experienced it, until one day a few weeks ago I turned the phone on and launched the camera, with about 15% battery left and was met with the "shutting down..." screen.
Since then it's happened sporadically, with the battery anywhere between 10-25%. And other times I've been able to use the phone right down to the single digits.
But yesterday took the cake. I thought I was in the clear, as I was around 50%, so I went on a trip through the junkyard to look for parts for my car. I hadn't been to a junkyard in many years, so it was a bit of an event, and I looked forward to snapping a few pics of the interesting cars I might see.
Pulled the phone out once and snapped a pic and a snapchat video, and right after I hit the send button in snapchat, the phone powered down. Now it was cold and windy, which may have had something to do with it, but even after putting the phone back in my pocket and warming it up with my hand, I powered it back up and the battery meter read 1%.
Now I'm not usually one to complain, but how can a battery drop from 50% to zero in one second? This has to be a hardware issue, and I don't know whether to wait until I'm near the end of my warranty period to replace it, or do it now and risk the replacement device not showing signs of the same issue until after the warranty expires.
It sucks, but I'm finally a part of this crew.
