Although I have been doing a lot of reading the last few months, I am new to posting, so please bear with. My DINC just started randomly rebooting about 2 weeks ago and I am trying to figure out why. It was running great before with (rooted) Skyraider 3.0 RC3 Vanilla, kings BFS#5, S-Off, 2.15 radio and HBoot .79. The problems began when I installed Juice Defender, didn't really like it, and then un-installed it. I did not disable anything JD did before un-installing. Now, with the same set-up as before, I get random reboots when I'm on Explorer for a few minutes, when GPS Navigation is on, and then randomly on GChat and the Market. It seems to happen more when the temp is higher, but it's rarely over 100 degrees F. Half of the reboots end up in QualComm debug mode. I have tried a full wipe and reinstalling the ROM, kernel and prior settings. The only thing I can think of is that Juice Defender changed some type of setting, application or system, and now it's having fits. I downloaded aLogCat and had it running during the last reboot and can PM the .txt file if you think that would help. Does anyone know what's going on or how I can fix it? Any help is great appreciated!
Also, the current applications that I have are:
ad-free
advanced task manager
beautiful widgets
setCPU
amazon reader
scorecenter
Mint.com
switchpro
bump
battery indicator
astro
root explorer
rom manager
barcode scanner
facebook

Are you overclocking? Some phones can't handle much and it's known to cause similar problems. Other than that I'm not sure if anything JD changes would remain once it's un-installed; but if so you might install it again, change everything back to stock, then un-install it. Just a guess, hope you get it figured out
I'm pretty sure the DINC has rebooting problems.
What version do you have, SLCD or LED?
I've had the LED version since it's released and I just started getting random reboots last month or so. Sometimes it goes into fits and just reboots nonstop for a couple hours. I've reverted it back to completely stock (unrooted, S-ON, stock recovery, stock 2.2 ROM) and I still have the same problem. Using stock battery as well. I've always cleared cache, factory reset, clear data, etc. I've done everything I can think of, but I think this phone just has problems that some people encounter even when completely stock (and even people who have never modified their phone at all if you do some searches on google).
It may have to do with the heat, I'm going to keep doing some testing. It seems like it goes into reboot fits when it gets hot or when I'm doing a lot of processing like using GPS and maps. It rarely reboots when it's idle.

Same here. Exchanged it with Verizon, almost no questions asked. Got AMOLED refurb, so far so good. Replacement was with OTA installed though, so waiting for new root.
You should revert your phone to fully stock, turn S-ON, unroot, stock ROM, etc. Make it look as legit as possible. If your problems go away then obviously something got screwed up in the flashing process. If your problems remain, then it's something wrong with the actual phone, and since you just made it completely stock you're in the perfect shoes to go exchange it.
In summary, the best measure to take if you're having reboot problems is to exchange it at a Verizon store; that's what most people are doing.
I'm going to exchange mine tomorrow. It should be covered under the 1 year warranty so you should not need insurance to do it.
Just an update: I am still having random reboots after uninstalling Advanced Task Manager and Widget Locker (read in posts these can cause problems). Now even when I use Amazon reader, the phone reboots rather quickly. One thing to note is that when I turn off 3G, it hasn't rebooted. This was one of my thoughts to begin with since approximately all of the reboots occurred when I was using 3G (browser, market, GChat and Nav). Does this narrow down any problems?
Next, I am going to install the new Skyraider 3.0 (ihtfp69 said it should be out first week of Dec.) and install apps one-by-one to see if the rebooting continues. Then I guess I will have to go s-off, unroot, etc. Crossing my fingers...
Sounds to me that you have the faulty overheating 3G radio..it is a somewhat documented problem and I believe it's the same problem I have. The only solution is to swap it at a verizon store. I'm afraid other ROMs or anything else you do will not solve the problem.

Odds are your radio is failing, which is a relatively common problem. Your symptoms are pretty much a textbook example and something that I experienced firsthand on my previous Incredible. The only fix is a warranty exchange.
That's disappointing. Thanks for the info everyone. I guess it's time to start the process of unrooting...
I thought I would post my situation/solution here, although it may not have any bearing on the issues that previous posters have mentioned. I got myself a Seidio 3500mAh Extended Life Battery several months ago. The first month was good. The next 1-2 months seemed to bring decreased battery performance - I was just about making it through a day with moderately-heavy use, but this battery should be able to handle that with no problem.
Over the last month I started having random reboots and it was getting more frequent. I don't know why but I just had this feeling that the battery was coming a bit loose and losing contact occasionally, although I couldn't force a reboot by shaking it.
Just a few days ago I decided to put a few layers of paperboard (i.e., box of tissues) between the battery and the case, just to see what happened. I haven't had any random reboots since I did that and the battery life seems markedly improved.
Again, this may not be relevant for some but I thought I would post my experience in case it helps anyone.

Interesting. I'm using the big batt too, but my only reboots happen with GPS. As I'm driving (unfortunately) with my Nav on, all of a sudden, I look to see what my next turn is, and I'm on the "HTC Incredible" splash screen! Most annoying thing ever.
I'm still waiting for a fix. I really don't want to unroot, lose everything, and have to exchange for a warranty phone.
By the way, with a fix like this, I feel like my blackberry days again!
Hi all,
I recently installed SyndicateRom Frozen after I got stuck on Eb13 thanks to Sprint. It worked out really well (so fast!) for a while but I am now having problems varying from strange but tolerable to very bad.
Here is the exact order of what I've done:
1) from eb13, I used odin to get DI18, then modem only to EC05, installed CWM3 and wiped data/cache/dalvik cache 3x each.
2) I used CWM3 to flash SyndicateRom Frozen (the latest version)
3) it worked pretty well, but then I (stupidly I guess) installed Go Launcher Ex and then everything went to hell
4) it ran for a while then suddenly EVERYTHING force closed. restarting it just gave me 9000 more force close boxes. so I...
5) wiped data/cache/dalvik 3x, re-flashed syndicateROM
So here I am now with the following problems:
1) The phone randomly freezes irreversibly (only solution is to pull the battery). It seems like it happens in the browser only (stock Syndicate browser)
2) The phone randomly freezes for a little while only (all the time)
3) The email app force closed (fixed this for now by clearing its data, from forum)
4) With auto-rotate OFF, nothing rotates EXCEPT my phone page.. What the heck? The phone page (ie click the phone icon) rotates regardless of what setting auto-rotate is on
5) The phone sometimes just decides to restart itself. And rarely, the restart never finishes.
6) Whenever I open up google navigation, it says "checking navigation availability" for 5-10 seconds. This never happened before
Now, what do I have running?
-SetCpu (this was running before I had go launcher and I had no problems). it's set very modestly -- 200-400 with screen off (and I dont have the no-wakeup problems some people talk about) and 400-10000 with the screen on, on demand.
-Ultimate Juice
If anyone knows what I can do to fix this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Thanks for the detailed post - it helps. Your issues, though, are almost definitely kernel-related. Freezing is a sign you need to use kernel version 1.0.4 linked from the second post, or VisionKernel. Try VisionKernel first. If it solves your issue, you're good to go.
Anything related to screen rotation is outside of the ROM - run the sensor calibration process.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try installing a new kernel when I get home tonight. BTW, awesome work with the ROM.

Thanks for your support!
im having similar problems, but mine only occur when the battery dies
after i restart a lot of my apps are force closing without even running them, and when i press the home button the screen is blank. (i also use go launcher)
You kno this same thing happened to me. I finally realized it was probably because I was restoring my apps with titanium. I decided to just re-download my apps and restore only app data with titanium (angry birds etc.). This helped me. And this was all after installing launcher pro. So there was some sort of conflict there. Are you restoring apps?

i didnt restore my apps with titanium that time but i switched from go launcher to launcher pro and i dont have that problem anymore
Hmm...i guess just stay away from that launcher then...haha.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'm not sure if his problems were strictly Go Launcher related. I've been using Go for 2 days now, with no problems (yet... knock on wood).
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
So here's an update:
-No, I'm not using Titanium backup.. I manually reinstall all my apps.
-I tried out the VisionKernel and it seemed ok for a bit, but I'm freezing again and my apps are all force closing. I uninstalled SetCpu completely in case that was causing a problem, but it didn't make a difference.
I'm going to try using v1.04 next... if that fails I guess I just can't use this rom
Would setting myself back to DI18 -> EC05 -> Syndicate possibly work? (as opposed to just re-flashing syndicate)
This was happening to me regardless of my kernel, and I even (twice) ODIN'd to [DI18?] then OTA to EC05 and then wiped everything 3 times, and flashed, 1st flash never works for me, so 2 flashes both times completely clean as well as when flashing kernels
1.0.2 worked just fine for me but as soon as 1.1.0 came I get freezes and FC's all over the place. I have given up on 1.1.0 and will try it when a newer version comes out
Media
First off want to say, love the ROM so far, you guys rock. After a few failed attempts at getting CWM 3 on my phone, I was finally able to do so and get everything installed. The only problem I'm having is with my media files. I get random FC when I play my music, my photo gallery doesn't appear, when I try to access my mp3's directly from my SD card, it says "file type not found" and it does not like the Zedge app at all. I've tried both the standard and fully loaded versions with the same results. I have the visionkernel downloaded, just in case I need to try it, but if at all possible, I'd like to stick with the twilight (I use the camcorder often). Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Yea, did basically the same thing last night. It went fine for a day, but it went to hell again tonight. Oh well, we'll have to wait for a new version I guess.

As noted many times in many places, if you're having issues with 1.1.0 that aren't freezing/battery life (these are both the kernel and have been discussed everywhere), a few simple troubleshooting steps will get you exactly where you need to be.

My issue is freezing, and I tried all of the alternate kernels. Sorry if my language wasn't precise- I mean new kernels.
I've actually given it one last try...I'm wondering if the clock is set too low for my phone by default, so I've got setcpu on min400 max1000. I'll let ya'll know how it turns out... (Stable so far although suddenly my home key doesn't work, hah.)

400mhz shouldn't be necessary. If your freezes were wakelocks, and you had your minimum frequency at 100mhz, that was your problem - not all devices can handle it, and need to be at 200mhz.

They were actually freezes during use-- I luckily never got a single wakelock.
I'm not sure if there was a pattern or not, but I think the Market, Go SMS Pro, stock Email, and stock browser were the main freezes. Then again, those are also the apps I use quite frequently
Sorry to double reply, but I can't edit yet.
@androikid
It just occurred to me that the freezes wouldn't be that bad if not for the force closes that occur afterward (due to data corruption). Maybe we should just turn journaling on so the a freeze just means a restart, rather than a re-flash.
This problem only really happens after my phone has been on for days at a time. I have had this problem on the latest stable and latest nightly for CM7 (each one cleanly installed after a total wipe).
What happens is that most screens are replaced with entirely black ones. The most consistent example of this is the settings screen. The first Settings screen (which shows Display, Sound, etc) loads correctly. If I click on any of those, I just get a black screen. This will happen in other applications too, like Baconreader or Browser. Also, another connected issue is that the lockscreen won't animate once this problem starts. I can drag it down to unlock, but the rotary wheel won't move at all. If I drag to the right to load my custom app, the lockscreen won't go away and it will force my to pull the battery.
Has anyone else run into this problem? I'd just like to know I'm not alone. I'm not really expecting a bugfix, especially when I'm not even posting a Logcat.
Did you fix permissions?

Next time it happens I will, I'm just afraid it will break Facebook/SMS integration like I've had happen before.
It's just so weird since it breaks everything. The lockscreen, the options, Pandora's station list, the browser, and it goes on and on. It's like there's some sort of display mode that gets screwed up.

What version are you using. I'm going to try to install nightly 77 today after a fresh wipe.
I was seeing the same thing. Now I'm trying to figure out why my data speeds are so painfully slow on CM7 so I can't offer a fix. Flashing back to Warm to troubleshoot 3G.
I get these issues all the time no matter what kernel or nightly I'm running. It has forced me back to sense roms lol
Same problem here. I updated stable mod from stable mod. Reinstalled. Going on 4 days, no issues so far.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have the same exact issue. This never happens on a sense rom. I did some tweaks to my system over the past week and I haven't had to reboot since this past Saturday or Sunday. I thought I had fixed it!
Then...
My phone started doing it this morning after I turned on 4G at work, literally as I was writing this post it started doing it. I then turned off 4G.. and it instantly went away. Turning back on 4G and it isnt doing it right now. Now my phone is doing something weird with go sms pro... when I get a text and I respond via the pop up message.. once my text moves to a second line I dont see what I am typing anymore... and now it has progressed to where the pop up box isnt refreshing after I send a message (this is all happening while I am typing this post). Now the phone has become laggy and somewhat unstable... rebooted! All is well. So I went roughly 4-5 days without a reboot... where as before I had to reboot at least once a day.
Thats about the best I can get with these settings:
CM7 7.0.3.1
Savaged Zen 2.6.38.5 CFS > Using SavagedZen Governor, min 384 max 998
Displaying some animations (read somewhere that is a "fix".. or helping extend the time it takes for the Black screen of death to appear).
This is after several full wipes, several when I was running Amon RA recovery 1.8 then updated to the latest and did it two more times. After upgrading Amon and wiping I did not use any backups and started completely from scratch.
So I am not sure what else to do. Some people are getting this, some are not.
This is my second time rooting my phone. I wanted to get a better ROM and the Syndicate seemed like a good choice. Had a few problems and had to go back to the original stock and then download the Android update, root it and then flash the Syndicate. After a couple of tries it worked.
I ended up using OneClickRootCWM3.0.2.5-EC05 and that worked. Before I believe the problem was I had 2.5.
After root I flashed syndicatefro110-fullyloaded-signed. Love the look and still have more to explore on it, but I had a few questions.
1) One of the issues I had was on the home screen, it was taking a while for the apps and widgets to populate. It would look blank for several seconds and then finally show up. After I updated it is doing the same thing. Is this a known issue?
2) I like the battery %. I had a widget to tell me that, but I uninstalled it. No reason to have that now right?
3) Used juice defender before, do I need it now? Apparently the battery life should be a lot better. But one weird thing happened, my battery was 40% after flashing and using the phone for several hours. Then I rebooted and the phone came back at 13%. Never saw that before.
4) I backed up what I could with Titanium Backup but I wasn't sure how to just backup everything. It didn't look like some of my apps or my text messages were saved, but after the reboot those text conversations returned. Not sure what is going on there.
5) I wanted to install the Impaled Keyboard fix but it looks like with the Syndicate ROM the keyboard works better on its own. Is that part of that package?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

1 - not sure, this happens to me once in a while.
2 - no need for the widget anymore! I have not used Juice Defender with this ROM. I can get between 15-20 hours, when I was getting 10-12 stock. I have a couple emails pushing and twitter, and text often, a little AB here and there. So I "use" my phone.
3 - That has happened to me also. All you have to do is charge to full, the clear battery stats in CWM
4 - To get a full back-up I make a nandroid in CWM
5 - Not sure, I barely use my keyboard at all.

SRF was my second rom as well and I've been very happy with it.
1) I've noticed this happening as well but I use Launcher Pro (which I highly recommend). I'm not sure if the normal home screen shows up in the task manager but I just kill my home screen there and hit the home button and it seems to load it up faster than just waiting for it.
2) Welcome to convinience my friend. I used a battery percent app as well and you will no longer need it
3) I almost think Juice Defender gives me worse battery life than without it. SRF will get you great battery life, in addition to that I also use an app to "Freeze" the two DRM processes and I notice an improvement there as well. Just search the forums for DRM if you are curious about that. As stated in the above post every time you flash a new rom you are going to want to calibrate your battery so you avoid misreadings. There is an app on the market that I like called "Battery Calibrator" or you can do it through CWM.
4) I've always lost my conversations using Titanium Backup and I know a lot of people use Nandroid, may be worth looking into.
5) This is a recommended tweak by many SRF users. I've put it on recently but haven't really tested it.
follow up on DRM
Which apps are you using to freeze the DRM? I have Titanium backup but I can't find an option to freeze apps. I don't have the paid version so that might be the problem.
Can I manually do a force stop on DRM Content? I tried doing that but it didn't work. The button didn't change color like it should.
Going to play around with Launcher Pro as well. It looks pretty cool.
I am doing a calibration on the battery now too.
I highly recommend GO Launcher EX.
While you won't need Juice Defender, I would suggest you use Juice Plotter periodically - just to make sure there isn't something eating your battery.

I ended up using OneClickRootCWM3.0.2.5-EC05 and that worked. Before I believe the problem was I had 2.5.
After root I flashed syndicatefro110-fullyloaded-signed. Love the look and still have more to explore on it, but I had a few questions.
1) One of the issues I had was on the home screen, it was taking a while for the apps and widgets to populate. It would look blank for several seconds and then finally show up. After I updated it is doing the same thing. Is this a known issue?
2) I like the battery %. I had a widget to tell me that, but I uninstalled it. No reason to have that now right?
3) Used juice defender before, do I need it now? Apparently the battery life should be a lot better. But one weird thing happened, my battery was 40% after flashing and using the phone for several hours. Then I rebooted and the phone came back at 13%. Never saw that before.
4) I backed up what I could with Titanium Backup but I wasn't sure how to just backup everything. It didn't look like some of my apps or my text messages were saved, but after the reboot those text conversations returned. Not sure what is going on there.
5) I wanted to install the Impaled Keyboard fix but it looks like with the Syndicate ROM the keyboard works better on its own. Is that part of that package?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

ACS just released 1.1.1 standard edition yesterday. They are trying to get the fully loaded version released sometime tonight. Give that version a go when released, if you wanted to stay with fully loaded.
#1: I had this issue from DI18 OTA to EC05. This went away after a factory reset, and haven't seen it since.
#2: Your call if you want to use a battery widget or not. The % is displayed on the notification bar anyhow.
#3: Your call if you want to use it. Some still do for controlling their data usage across the board.
#4: Not really seeing a question there, but you probably just backed up everything. Upon data restoration, apps like that typically ask you to reboot for everything to display properly.
#5: It's now incorporated into v1.1.1, so no need to flash it separately unless you continue to use v1.1.0.

Which apps are you using to freeze the DRM? I have Titanium backup but I can't find an option to freeze apps. I don't have the paid version so that might be the problem.
Can I manually do a force stop on DRM Content? I tried doing that but it didn't work. The button didn't change color like it should.
Going to play around with Launcher Pro as well. It looks pretty cool.
I am doing a calibration on the battery now too.

In Titanium, go to the Backup/Restore tab and tap (just tap -- don't hold down) on the two apps that start with DRM. It should bring up a screen that allows you to select "freeze".
Regarding Launcher Pro -- I paid for Launcher Pro (before flashing Syndicate) but have since moved to Go Launcher Ex which I like MUCH better. It's a lot like Launcher Pro but IMO has better implementation of folders.
Syndicate -- especially this newest 1.1.1 version -- is absolutely great. So fast and smooth. The only thing I didn't care for much is the red circle startup screens. I just found an alternate "Syndicate" startup screen in the Themes forum posted by EnervinE. I like it MUCH better!
Green power is better than juice defender and has an almost 0 config

thanks to theimpaler747
Read through the new 1.1.1 thread and I can't believe how many questions theimpaler747 answered!
I was a little confused as to what I needed to do, but it was pretty simple since I already had Syndicate Frozen 1.1.0. I just flashed the new one (1.1.1) and all is well! I tested the wireless and wired tether and it worked great.
Still playing with it. Curious to see how it is on the battery.
Also will test out the keyboard fix since it says that is now included. It even blocks the ads in apps! Wow. This seems pretty cool.
all roms take a while to populate lists like that specially while media scanner is running, which will take a long time if you filled your sd card with titanium backup...
no reason to keep the batery % widget...

Wired tether worked for you with 1.1.1? I was never able to get mine to work and I saw many other people reporting similar problems. You're using the Twilight kernel that came with the ROM or did you flash a different one? Just curious since I couldn't get mine to work and I really would prefer USB tethering to WiFi.
I did use the twilight kernel and tested the usb tether and it worked. But I only tried it that one time.
Hmm, interesting. I tried mine with WinXP (with the necessary drivers I think) and with Ubuntu, but no luck. Maybe I'll give my wife's Win7 laptop a try.
With the new 1.1.1 has anyone had any problems with trying to download pictures off pages?? Because with the 1.1.0 everytime i did that it force closed....Or after using it so long everything was force closing where i had to reflash the rom...

Works fine for me, just downloaded a barcode to scan
setCPU
ryan4sc: If you haven't checked it out already, you'll want to download and install SetCPU. Now that your phone has a kernel like Twilight Zone, you can save even more battery juice by controlling the speed of the CPU with this app. You can get it from the Android Market or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
Yes and you can over clock with set cpu. Mine runs great at 1.3
Thanks for the heads up on that one. Trying it out now!
The apps taking time to load in my experience has to do with them being saved on your SD card. I backed up my SD card and then formatted it and the lag went away.
I use juice defender even though most recommend that its not needed. JD always gives me ridiculous numbers saying it doubled my battery life, but in reality it adds about 30 - 40% more time. I typically get 18 hours or so of moderate to heavy usage out of my stock battery.
And this is running genocide 1.1 overclocked to 1.4 and undervolted 25 at each step except 1ghz which is stepped down 50 using voltage control.

Hi,
I recently bought a Galaxy Nexus and rooted it right then and there. A couple of weeks later it went into the bootloop (disease) and I had to restore my phone from scratch (loosing all my SD card stuff as well ). So I decided to go with AOKP M4.
Again a couple of weeks later AOKP just freezes while I was trying to access Maps. No buttons work and the screen stays ON. Had to pull out the battery to bring the phone back to life.
This time I said, let's go for ARHD 3.0... all works fine and I flash to ARHD 4.0 with complete superwipe. Then last night it freezes again when I was trying to access GTalk. Same thing, had to pull the battery out to bring it back to life.
Now I'm wondering if there's a problem with the GAPPS on the GNex? Or there's something else brewing in the background while I carry on my daily tasks. The phone is great, but this freezing is making me go crazy.
If you guys have had similar issues before, and have found any solutions to those, I'd appreciate your help in that.
Thanks.
could be one of your apps
I had a few lockups on stock 4.0.1 when I first got my phone, but after it updated to 4.0.4, and my subsequent move to custom ROMs I haven't had any issues with my phone freezing.

This. Were there any shared circumstances between your lockups? I noticed that my phone lockups on 4.0.1 all occurred under the following circumstances: I was listening to music and writing a text message when a new message was received. Every time.
I definitely haven't had any freezes like that so far for the life of my 3 months. It certainly sounds like something unique with your setup is following you around. An app most likely.
Hmmm ... thanks for your help. I have seen the phone freeze twice in two days. Battery pull restores it every time however.
I don't have anything installed which plays around with my settings (ex: setcpu etc.) Except Tasker!
I can try disabling the app for a week to root cause it!
Thanks.
