Anyone having issues with the phone going to sleep and not waking up? Happened last night and I had to remove the battery

I've had this twice now. Both times after using Spotify, probably purely coincidence though. Battery pull and everything is OK.
Most likely something that you have installed on your phone isnt liking ICS. Hard to narrow down if you have alot of apps installed.
I have had mine for 6 days now and not had a single Sleep of Death and I havent seen too many comments about it so I dont think its a problem with ICS directly.
Mark.
Happened to me too! My phone was ultra hot too! I had charged it over night with my computer. can anyone who had this issue confirm it was through computer charging?

Nah was via wall power.
Wonder if its SetCPU stalling my phone as ive got it to drop the CPU speed right down when screen is off
Jeez man you think you might wanna test that out before you post that there's an issue with your phone?

Exactly, it is way way too likely that turning your CPU down will result in 'Sleep of death'
I had exactly the same thing last night, I even made my own thread

I even wrote a simple app for logging the battery temperature and time, so I'll leave it on next night and I'll see what happens. Because I'm pretty sure my phone switched off due to overheating, as it was really,really hot in the morning, after I switched it on the battery was at 46C.

I'm afraid I can confirm that I have experienced the same "sleep of death" problem twice now. I can't remember what I was doing the first time, but the second time I was only browsing and I know I didn't have any apps installed because I had previously reset my phone. I've only had the phone for two days now and if it does it again I might have to send it back.
I expected a glitch or two, but with the volume bug and other annoying things like the lack of flash and poor camera quality, I'm beginning to regret my purchase. Although I love the ice cream sandwich experience, I'm now thinking of getting the Galaxy Note instead, and waiting for ICS to arrive on that next year. At least then I will be able to watch iPlayer in the meantime.

Had a sleep of death for the first time yesterday - the only "different" thing I did during the day was use spotify so there maybe something in that!
Same again last night, woke up this morning and phone was on but wouldn't wake. Notification light was on solid. Was plugged in at wall all night, didn't seem too warm when I held it.
Time to start debugging I guess

I've had this issue twice too.
I do not have spotify installed, and the phone was NOT hot at all. Not even warm!
I was just in gmail, sent a mail, then pressed the home button, and black.... gone.
Had to pull battery.
Thinking of having phone replaced by Handtec. I know this is probably a software glitch, but the volume bug, and the fact my unit was one that handtec had "tested" etc, I might just ask for a brand new one from the new flashed batch due next week.

Well, it's the first device with ICS so I expect there will be a few bugs in the future which will need to be fixed. That's the reason why I'll go for the Nexus ... it's a nice piece of hardware but even more important is that it will be the device which gets the fixes first.

I've not had a sleep of death and if anyone ever has a dodgy version of lightflow on their phone it's me (being the dev of the app)
If you've rooted your phone, don't try and let lightflow take control of "s6e8aa0" in general settings. That's probably the led for controlling screen light.
But other than that the apps isn't really doing anything too fancy, just using some alarm managers to trigger cycle changes and using the standard android API calls to control the led.1I have not had a single sleep-of-death issue for a week now. So as I wrote in my detailed post some pages ago, mine was definitely an issue of mis-charged battery due to low voltage and using it at the same time.
Reading posts of others it is clear that not all sleep of death issues are the same, but it is very likely the problem of power source. Make sure you don't have some app that kills battery while it is charging or that your battery does not drain while you are using it while it is charging.
If proper discharge-charge won't fix your problem, make sure you don't have 'battery management' apps and whatnot that might cause an issue while running in the background. If those things don't work, then you must have a hardware issue more serious than that.1
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.
