I know there are a bunch of NYer here so I'll throw this up (and i guess this may be a problem with anyone who uses underground transport). Does anyone else experience random reboots coming up from underground?
Is there a solution?
I have had these issues with stock and Virtuous ROMs. It normally doesn't affect my day, and in fact the only way I know it has happened is that I have to reset Swype. It doesn't occur every time either.
Anyhow, just seeing if anyone else gets to deal with this.
...
I kinda wish that every "hey, my phone reboots" thread would just get merged into one big superthread.
This is happening due to low signal. Your signal is so low (at that point) that the radio starts working harder and harder to scan/pick it up. That extra work generates heat. When the phone heats up, it reboots.
It's simple, every time I go into the subway, I put my phone in Airplane mode. When I get out, I turn off airplane mode.
That way it doesn't try to pull for a signal, when there is no way in hell it's going to get one.

Hey guys, so lately I've been having this really annoying problem where my Evo won't stop rebooting at random times. It usually happens when:
I'm using an app with data or a game
Right after a reboot I unlock my phone and wait 3 seconds and it reboots again
I noticed that the phone does get hot, but i only left it in my car once so this isn't always the case, although this has started recently maybe it is the heat who knows?
Some of the causes i've eliminated are the rom (thought it was just CM7 but it also happens on Fresh), the kernel (tried stock and savaged zen), and the battery (my primary is an EXTENDED BATTERY I BOUGHT ON AMAZON, thought that this was the problem but the reboots happen on the stock battery as well).
I guess this can come only come down to the hardware, which i guess makes sense because I don't think data transfer through usb is working for me anymore either, or it works sporadically. The phone charges fine on the wall, but when i put it into my laptop every usb port caused my Evo to keep unmounting the sd card. <--- I think the usb port is broken or loose because moving the cable seems to get my Evo to transfer data to my laptop for a short while.
If anyone can help me or have the same problems and have a solution that'd be great because I;m really close to unrooting and going to a sprint store if this keeps up
I wrote a response to someone else who had this question. I should have copied it so I can repost it for people.
What I know is this. I have had 3 different evos and they have all done this. It might be a battery problem, but more likely it has to do with low memory/ram.
If I play a game, watch youtube videos, surf the web, or just about anything somewhat intensive, my phone reboots.
I have tried many times, and things, to figure out what has caused this and the only consistent is that I am low on ram.
I use the application Tasker, and it notifies me when I'm getting low on "memory" it then tells me to go to Menu - Settings - Applications - Running Services. from there you can see what is eating up your ram and quit it, or delete it. I have deleted some of the programs and my phone still reboots, but not as often.
If you have widgets running that seems to add to the problem.
The phone reboots to gain back the system ram it needs to work properly.
If I'm wrong, will someone PLEASE correct me and tell what is actually going on.
This is what I have found. Someone else may have a different idea of what may be going on, but this makes more sense than anything else I've heard or read.

Hello all. I'm on Stock rooted jellybean and I have been getting this annoying little pop up that stops me from sending any texts unless I click allow after every text, I have noticed it happens when I'm texting 3-4 people at once. I also have noticed that a reboot see to get rid of the message for a while then it starts to happen again. So I was wondering if anyone knows how to permanently get rid of the pop up. I haven't had the time to decompile anything and look but any help would be appreciated. Attached is a picture of the pop up.
You might have too much of a life. Try lessening the amount of life you have and see if it resolves the issue. Until then, ignore your phone errors, because you've got plenty of life to attend to.
Seriously, it's always nice to see errors being reported, because you never know when you will be that person with the error nobody's heard of. Thankfully I haven't had this problem yet, and I've been very active on my phone, as I'm out of town for the good portion of this month. (Verizon has already warned me about data.. :crying
I have the same problem. I went through all the options, didn't find anything >_< its really bugging me right now, I might switch to MIUI because of this
So, my power button is dead for a few months now. I didn't have time to actually repair it but I don't need it anyway. This happened few times before but for the last 24h it's going on like crazy.
Phone is rooted for a year now. I used Supernova 2.4.0.1 rom because it's easy and it has sense. CM7 latest had some bugs with me. Couldn't change network, lost signal all the time etc. Since I need something to work always, didn't have time to test it. Would gladly use stock cm...
Sorry for the bad quality video, used my laptop camera. Still you can see the problem. Sometimes it's working ok then it's start going crazy. I don't mind when the phone is being crazy when I'm not doing anything but can't even type an sms...
Does anybody have any idea why is this happening?

Hi!
So, i've got another issue that's been lingering for a while... Sometimes i can maintain an LTE/3G connection for an hour or two, usually right after a firmware install, and then it drops down to either EDGE, or even GPRS. Rebooting the phone will fix this, and as long as i keep a data stream busy, it stays in high speed data, but about 10 minutes after the stream stops, it drops down to the lowest it can find, and then get stuck there. Sometimes the LTE button will fix things, others require a reboot, and then sometimes it just won't work for a while.
I have no idea what's going on... I've tried a few different Radio firmwares, but haven't found anything that works well yet... Could this be a hardware issue, or is it likely software? (I didn't spend much time stock, due to hating how Samsung lays out their version of Android.)
Anyone?
help me
My data doesn't work on cm 10.1.3 help me please

Sounds like you need to double check those APN's, if that doesn't solve the issue you might want to try odin to stock 4.1.1+ and try again. also what ROM you are running and modem version?
Hi, i have a big issue with this phone, i bought it like 2 weeks ago.
Since the 2nd day of use, i started to experience this issue, sometimes and usually when im not using wifi but mobile data, the screen goes to lockscreen, if i try to unlock it will lock again and that happens a couple of times, maybe 2, 3, 4, 5 times, sometimes i have to press lock button and try again. its really annoying, because somtimes it doesnt happen in a lot of time and then after 1 hour in the street and while im using it it locks and unlocks like crazy.
i did a soft factory reset but didnt work, i even tried in safe mode and it still happens.
yesteday i noticed that it even wakes up for no reason, that happened while i was driving in a highway, it suddenly wakes up like if i touched it, i disabled every feature about auto waking (like 2 touch, motion detection) but it still happens.
the only thing that makes it stop is if i switch airplane mode, so i guess maybe its something related to network (not wifi or location or mobile data because i disabled those and still happened), but when it is in airplane mode it will work fine, obv thats not a real solution.
i tried disabling and uninstalling a lot of apps but i cant figure out whats making this, im pretty sure its software problem, something related to network but i dont know.
do you have any ideas? even if i take it to tech service it will be hard to show them because sometimes it doesnt happen in hours.
anybody has an idea what could be causing my phone to lock for no reason while using it on the street?
Your phone gone kaboom
I have same problem, the problem is caused by the weak signals,which means that your phone connectivity is constantly changing, for example on a highway or in a basement. Solutions I have none, just waiting samsung to make a fix
Yes, thats exactly the problem. When signal is weak the phone locks or unlocks. I asked for a new phone at the store and they gave me a new one.

Btw i don't think this is a software problem because if it was a software problem all phones would having this issue. I think it's a problem with some hardware failing in some phones. IMEI of failed phone is 356711101439414 check if yours is similar
