Help Auto shut down

[Deleted User]

Yes, it's the wifi causing the problem. When I turn it on and I connect to a wifi network, everything is fine; but when I let the wifi on and no wireless internet network is available it shuts down. So, stop the wifi when you have no network which you could connect at.

I should point out that this is the ONLY situation this happens for me and it happens every time.
Dut to illness I had spent most of my time at home (with wi-fi connection) and the times I did go out, I left wi-fi on and the phone disconnected.
The times I remembered to turn wi-fi off, I didn't get the problem.

Pacjet data makes no difference.

So it appears it is definitely related to searching for a network when none are available.


Turning wi-fi off is a WORKAROUND to me, not a SOLUTION.

Solution is to complain to Samsung. If they don't help you, send a letter to the concerned authority in your country (e.g. Commerce Department or Consumer Protection Bureau) and make sure you copy Samsung. I was able to get a full refund and happily using a Sony Ericsson Xperia neo for the past 4 months.

Last time I complained to Samsung about anything they said I need to contact my carrier (contract phone) which lead to an loop of phones being sent off for "repair", returning 2 weeks later with the same problem, being sent off for repair, returning 2 weeks later with the same problem...

I had hoped the Cyanogenmod I am using may have finally solved things but went out today with wi-fi switched on and sure enough, SoD.

i had the same trouble and i guess that i found a solution for it. the phone turns off when pressured in the pocket. in this moment the battery disconnect from the contacts. put a paper belt between batery and the lock. i believe that this solves.

I would like to point out that upgrading OS doesn't help with this auto shut-down SOD as I had upgraded from Gingerbread to JellyBean using Kies and the problem still exists!
