[Q] reboot random

Hello,
I had random reboot before with my leedroid 2.3b, and I had one also 30 minutes ago with AuraxTSense, so I'm asking if the cause is the rom or not.
When he reboot, he's not hot, I see it reboot sometimes and the phone was at normal temperature (approximately with my hands lol). it reboots max 1 time per day.
So I'm tellng myself that's it could be due to:
- radio
- S-OFF
- one app
For radio, I try tu update from 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 to 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23, and I'll see.
For apps, the problem is that I would have not to restore all my apps, to see if one app cause it.
What do you think of it?
Thanks

My question to you is: what are you doing with your phone at the time it reboots?
Playing a game, navigating or browsing the web etc?
I just got my Desire back from htc with a new motherboard, it used to reboot randomly also. Now it doesn't anymore

Are you using SetCPU?
Could be an issue with the kernel, or how one of the SetCPU profiles handle the kernel during screen off (interactive I think?)
Or as fnotsje said, could be hardware related

Sometimes I do nothing...maybe it's due to an app services?
But with your old motherboard, it reboots several times per day, or like me?

It's installed but not configured in smatass mode, you advise me to uninstall it and to test?

What is surprising, that if it's that, i t should reboot many more times than one time per day no?

It depended on the usage, if I used it alot, it'd reboot more than if I used it less frequent.
But I'm not sure it is the motherboard issue, because you're mentioning the phone is not hot when it reboots..

Yes and always only one time per day, just one time maybe 2.
I desinstalled SetCPU, it changes nothing.
What do you advise me to do?
Wipe and install minimum apps, and see if I've that, and little by lttile, reinstall one new app...test few days again...?, it will be long :-(
Thanks.

Your phone shouldn't be rebooting randomly really. It's happened to me when I overclocked my CPU and played a game. It didn't like it at all. It sounds like something has buggered up somewhere down the line. If I was you, I would try quite a few more roms other than what you've tried. If it's still rebooting then it would need to get looked at by HTC or by going through you carrier (if they do it). That's what I would do.

With the minimum of apps, for example to see if it reboot or not?
Because if t's an hardware problem due to the radio, it censed to reboot even with few apps no?
For carrier as I'm at Orange like you, I think, they could change fastly my phone maybe. I will try that if anything works. You think that if I do that, I've to find an orange rom? I'm asking myself if they accept an HTC even restored with RUU.
Thanks

I have the same issue and ITS DRIVING ME MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never experienced this with my stock ROM... so I firstly tried a gingerbread ROM... when it started... i then moved to a Sense Rom and still reboots occured... I'm now on my 2nd cooked sense ROM and still having reboots!!
WTF? is there a quick sollution?
thank you!

SO MANY follks seem to be having problems with [email protected]! Is there seriously no sollution to this or a common cause..?

had the same problem & is with HTC getting fixed
there are a few posts about it if you search - the only fix seems to be to send it to HTC for a new motherboard as some presume that it's overheating.

11 march still waiting on return of my Desire

I can relate to your issues. Mine kept rebooting when I tried to use the GPS. Like you I had mine rooted, S-off and was using a custom ROM.
After many tests, I downloaded a stock RUU, installed a different navigation app and once again, it rebooted.
Bottom Line: take it back. Its probably defective. Just make sure you're running a stock ROM. Download an RUU.

[Q] Issue after ICS update - Phone freezing

After the ICS update on my non-rooted phone, the phone seems to be freezing
up and becoming unresponsive. After a while it looks like the radio "resets", all
the icons disappear in the top bar (signal, wifi, data) and it shows no service.
Then slowly one by one they all come back and I can use the phone again.
Sometimes I receive the "System is not responding" dialog box, but not always.
There is not one particular program it is doing this in, it can be something as
simple as pulling down the notification bar that will cause the freeze.
Any suggestions are appreciated, I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue.
Thanks.

Try:
Turn off phone
Take out SIM
Put SIM back
Turn on
I've had my phone act weird with respect to signal, wifi and data when this was the issue. Worth a shot, at the very least.

Thank you for the response.
Tried this and had the system is unresponsive issue right on reboot. If I do a
factory reset, does it reset to the current firmware or what was originally on the
phone (probably a really stupid question). I wonder if some other program isn't
ICS compatible and is doing something in the background. Doesn't look like
anyone else is having this same issue.

If you do a factory reset and it was the standard Kies legit update from Tmo, it won't downgrade your phone - will just re-install a fresh copy of your ICS. Did you do a restore of apps from your last version (gb?) with data? That could cause problems I would think..

Yes I did the legit update on Kies, standard stock phone un-rooted.
Do I need to backup pictures before the reset, its been a while since
I had to do this.
At this point, I think its worth a try to wipe it clean and clear out all the
data.

wipe the dalvik cache and cache then reboot

I did a factory reset and that solved the issue.
Thanks for all the assistance.

I've done a factory reset and wiped the cache more than once already and i still get a force close or unresponsive, enough that its really irritating me now. Any advice? And also, when texting, the typing responds very slow.

Are you letting it sit for like 10 minutes during first boot after factory reset then reboot again before setting up. Its likely that some scripts are running from the initial installation and you need to let it rot until its done..

I did exactly that, thanks for the advice. Hoping that may fix the problem. I wiped the cache and factory reset, then let the phone sit for a good while before going through the play store and re-installing everything.

This issue just resurfaced again. The last 2 days I am getting the freezing, radio reboot and android process not responding.
No one else having this issue?

I think I'm in the same boat. I was stock GB, and just did the mini OTA update (which was great). A few days later ICS became available via Kies from T-Mobile, and I "upgraded".
Since the upgrade my phone is laggy, screen is significantly less responsive and also my battery life is less than before.
I have NOT done a factory reset of my phone yes (plan on doing that today), but even with that I have read that performance does not improve.
Ideally, I would love to return back to the stock tmobile gb firmware. However, even after literally 2 hours of reading I can't find the "how-to" and files I need.
I would appreciate any assistance.

t989 chip lags
ive notice this happen on my tmobile galaxy s2. i think it has to do with the Qualcomm chip on tmobiles stock roms.
When i had sprint i bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 on the sprint network which runs the samsung exynos chip. She never complained about any lag or freezing whatsoever. I then left sprint because of their garbage network and joined tmobile.
bought 2 galaxy s2s and i noticed the lag almost immediately. The phone has random lag spikes as well as freezing and force closes. It had it on stock gingerbread and it has it on stock ICS too.
My girlfriend complains about freezing all the time so i decided to root her phone too. Right now im testing DarkSides v7 rom and if its pretty good in performance i will flash her phone with it too. So far it has been pretty snappy and everything works.

follow that first post. i went through exactly the same problems and found this guide and am now happy again and running stock GB on my Galaxy S2.
Because you are on stock ics (im guessing you are..), you can just follow that guide and flash the UVLDE update.

Yes clock resets to standard standard time.. I already did a factory reset and worked done for a couple weeks. My wife has same phone and she is getting the freeze ups now.

Yup here too. Almost reminds me of XP. Really ticking me off & it never happened on gingerbread. Rooted now & before I'm on rogers 4.0.4. wondering if there's going to be fix? Haven't seen if Google / rogers /at&t have commented?

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. But it really shouldn't be necessary on a phone that's got more going for it than the stock nexus that 1st came out with ics.
There's something else going on.

You have lots of apps running in the background. Check what is starting at boot and constantly running. You also can overclock your device for faster game loading and scrolling.

I have been using rasbean pretty religiously since porting it for the sprint nexus. I haven't had any slow downs in fact its stayed as fast as it was when I first flashed the ROM clean. Which for me is weird because on other ROMs I always had a slow down after a couple weeks. But not the case on rasbean. I suggest you try it with trinity kernel. Its a stock ROM with hand coded options.

I can almost confirm that:
Bought a new, 4.1.1 Nexus - everything fine
Flashed AOKP, restored some apps with Titanium and filled it with stuff - slow
Flashed CM10 & MIUI - slow
Deleted everything, flashe CM10 and left 3.1GB free - everything fine
In between I also flashed franco and trinity kernels, tried deactivating 5GHz Wifi, tried not restoring with Titanium, deleted many files and maybe other things that I don't remember about.
Looks like you don't have to ever go below 3GB free.

yes, rebooted every 3-4 days. i really don't understand. stock rom was slowed down after I copied my musics about 10 gigs. and now on pa rom slowed down after i downloaded 5-6 mp3 from internet. all I have was 10-15 songs on the phone. and 2 movies about 8-9gb. i always watch movies and delete. after slowed down i removed movies, songs and also google music app but nothing changed.i also flashed a lag fix from somewhere i dont remember but again slow slowslowww now i tried to wipe cache, dalvic cache but nothing changed... when i tap facebook it hangs for 10 seconds and says not responding close app? i say wait and then it opens...

I have the same problem... Slooow as hell, apps FCs and not responding... Problem even stays after flashing other ROMs and stuff... I hope a factory reset will just do it...

So do you all recommend what is discussed in the link you posted or overclocking which one works better? If overclocking what speeds so you recommend?

Random reboots

Im new in this nexus section...i'm asking why my galaxy nexus sometimes reboots? It has the latest 4.2.2 android version stock...it isnt the update, i think, because also before this happen...and when it reboots there's like a opened locket under the google logo....who can help.me? I tried also the nexus toolkit...but when i try to do something with fastboot the program says WAITING DEVICE forever...

Guys, please help!! Its really urgent!

Hi,
I think there are two reasons for random reboots:
1- overheating
2-lack of ram (many running proceses, so ram gets full, so it reboots.
Press the thanks button if I helped

No, even when the battery isnt hot it reboots!!
and it is without any apps installed, only stock apps!! I did also a factory reset from settings..but nothing happened...
Searching on net, i read that the opened locket is the bootloader....is that causing random reboots? If yes, how to relock with toolkit? Beacause it says me WAITING DEVICE

No, unlocking the bootloader shouldn't do this. I have an unlocked bootloader, and I have this phone(xperia arc) for 5 months and I only had one random reboot and it was definitely because of lack of ram

Yes but im talking about NEXUS and maybe its different!!

I used to have that happen all the time. I used to think that the phone sucked but my husband never had that happen with his. I compared the apps and wiped my phone, only installed what he had on there. It still happened. I was really beginning to get mad but I wiped it again. I Installed things one by one only allowing myself to install a new app only after it had gone a week with no nonsense. Yes, this was a painful process but I found the cause of my random reboots. I use Handcent. That alone isn't the cause. When I would get new sounds for my GN, I would have the option of making them a ringtone or a Handcent notification among other things. If I made Handcent notifications, that seemed to cause the problem. If I move a sound into the notifications folder and assign it to contacts in Handcent, everything has been fine.
I don't know if this helps your problem but some settings could affect unexpected things. Good luck!

no one who can help? wow!!

I had random reboots on my Verizon GN running the OTA 4.1.1. I got so fed up with it that I went back to 4.0.4. I have had no problems or reboots since doing this.

Are you running Chrome or the stock browser? I've always had the random restarts on my N10, but only started seeing them on my GN after I started using Chrome around the time 4.2.2 came out.

Problems with d851. Could really use some advice.

So, I bought it on launch day and I'm getting desperate...
1) Wake screen after receiving notification (text etc). Pull down notification bar, back and multitask soft buttons grey out and phone will not respond. If I'm listening to music when this happens, the song keeps playing until I pull the battery or the phone reboots itself.
2) General lag is awful... More than half the time it has noticeable hangs switching apps or opening anything. I'm down to next to no apps that i've installed and have even tried removing just about everything I have with no improvement. Scrolling stutters about half the time as well. And the image you see with the camera open stutters badly also. Every once in a while it's buttery smooth for a few seconds then slows again.
Battery life is great and I love the form factor of this phone. I REALLY don't want to get rid of it but I'm at the point where it's more important to have a phone that's usable than have the extra screen size etc.
It's bone stock and I haven't tried a factory reset.
Suggestions?

Try the factory reset then go from there.
