[Q] Bionic Black Screen of Death

---

Hi guys, haven't been here since my WIN MOB days. Glad the place is hopping as usual.

Bionic users seem to be experiencing a total lockup on sleeping handsets. There is a rather extensive thread over Moto support and the mod seems to be paying attention.

Just popped in to ask your experiences and the frequency with which you guys are seeing this and any possible remedies.

I've seen a couple of very short threads here, but nothing with any follow-up.

Thanks,

RMD

I have had this happen on multiple occasions, the power/wake-up button stops working and the only way to get the phone back is pulling the battery. The last time it happened was last night, and even after the battery was pulled it wouldn't come back up. I only got my phone back after switching out the battery with my extended battery.

Does anyone have a link to the thread at Moto support?

Seems like it happens more often when the phone has been sleeping for longer than 30 mins for me. Go for a run, come back and can't wake the phone up. Or go to sleep and wake up in the morning with it blacked out.

This happened to me for the first time today, but it happened twice within about 2 hours. Pulling the battery was the only way to get it back.

This has been happening to me for the last few days, only things is Im rooted, I was considering unrooting until customer roms and kernels come out.... but seeing that you guys are having this issue with the phone stock.... quite weird, hopefully a firmware update will come out for this soon

I've got mine rooted and have never had this issue before. I have not removed or frozen any apps though.

Also I leave my system on performance mode in the battery profile.

In fact, I left it on my nightstand last night without plugging it in. Woke up a few times and checked the time each time and the phone always woke right up.

So, I want to say mine started locking up when I selected "in pocket detection."
I just now thought about it reading one of the post here talking about going for a jog. I just turned it off and will see if that makes a difference. I get a lock at least once a day.

I have been rooted since day 1 and have had Bloat removed since day 2 and "knock on wood" have never had this issue.

I've been getting this too. It only seems to happen at home where I have only 3g available. Are you guys that are having this happen in a 4g area or is it just 3g as well?

I had this issue on the second day and never since, but being how "lucky" I am as I post this I will have the issue...
