Can someone help me pinpoint why my phone is constantly rebooting? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have had my epic for about a month now and I love it but sometimes it will reboot like 5 times a day and sometimes it will not even go back on unless I pull the battery for a couple seconds. It is rooted and I am not going to lie it NEVER did this before I rooted it. I have tried plenty of different roms and after a while they all reboot. Most run fine for the first couple days. I will say that it never reboots when I am using it its funny but it seems to only do it when it is in my pocket. I always know when it rebooted because my headset gives the disconnected beep then I look at my phone and sure enough I see the boot screen. This is becoming very annoying any help would be greatly appreciated.

What rom/kernel/radio are you using?

I am using the Phantom Hacker blazer rom v 3.4 with the stock rouge el26 kernal. Not sure about the radio because I never touched that. I am also running the venum minimal black theme.

Its funny because sometimes it will go days and run great then one day boom 5 restarts before the afternoon hits.

Restore to stock and see if you still have the problem, if you do, take it into sprint.

My phone hasn't rebooted but I have experienced the sleep of death a couple of times in the past week. I don't understand what's causing it either but meh, it's not been to often.

Are you guys running any of Calks scripts also have you flashed the 3g/4g hotspot hack

Im using the hack that was built into the rom and none of calks scripts. I should also note that sometimes whsn it reboots it drains a good 50% of the battery.

Could a bad sd card be causing this? I ask because one time when i went to use my phone the sd card was not detected and i had to reboot to get it back. Thats probably a problem with the phone too.. I love this phone but i am getting real tired of its bull****.

When I first got the phone I didnt root it for about a week and there wasnt a reboot in sight. As soon as I rooted it, this crap started. Is this just something people with rooted phones need to put up with?

Well my sd card just failed and upon some research I have learned that a failing sd card can cause the phone to reboot so I am going to run it for a while without it and see if the problem still persists.

I have been rooted for over a month or so and have not had a single reboot. So no, that is not normal.
I am guessing something is wrong with your root or your rom install.

I believe it was rebooting because of a bad sd card. I took it out and have not had one reboot since. Also the sd card was messing up all day. I tried to acess it and it says sd card damaged. Do you know if a bad sd card can cause reboots? From my research allot of people say it can.

Yea, if its giving your errors, and the phone is rebooting, and removing it from the phone corrects the rebooting issue, that seems logical that the SD card was causing the problem.
Reformat the card and see if that resolves the issue.

Well I took the sd card out and no reboots in almost 24 hours!! I hope there is nothing wrong with this phone because man do I love it. Just a question though, could the fact that it was rebooting with the card in there be caused by the fact that I took that card out of my old Evo 4g and just put it straight into this phone without formatting it or anything? Or you think it's just a bad card all together?

I took my sdcard from my old epic,no reboots, im rooted only, no clockwork yet, I have had the phone about two weeks, I would be very upset if it started rebooting, that's one of the reason I upgrade I was flash happy with my old epic, new rom runs great for a couple days than here comes the problem

of course you should put a "clean" sd card in your phone, when you change models...there are all sorts of useless files from your evo on their, and no doubt that would cause weird behavior in your current phone..

Ya i had that problem with the evo too. All you need to do is clear delvic cache and cache partition and it would run fine again for like 3-4 days then you would need to do it again.

Ya I see what ya mean. I am going to run the phone for a couple days just to make sure it isn't a problem with the phone and if all is good I will format the card and put it back in the phone and see what happens. You all have been very helpful though as always, I appreciate it!

I wouldn't go that far. I had the same BS when I first rooted. I've been using Strongsteve's blue ROM and haven't experienced ANY problems since ie. Ghost rebooting, Los, nothing. Its made me love the phone again....trust me I was ready to throw the thing in the garbage.

Evo Issues Random Restarting and Freezing Power button not turning on Screen

I've been having issues with the phone turning off randomly and restarting, seems to do it when it gets hot. Also the phone not responding to power button. Doesn't matter which rom I flash it keeps happening. Thinking about converting back to stock to see if it helps. But I'm unsure why this started happening all the sudden any one else have similar issues??
How often is it happening? Often enough that you may be able to troubleshoot it? Such as.. turn of gps, mobile data, sync, then slowly add them back in one at a time to see what could be causing the problem.

Also, are you under clocking or over clocking your kernel?

[Q] My boot loops don't taste good...with or without milk...what is the reason?
My real questions are:
Has anybody experienced my experience and how did they solve the issue?
and
Can someone help me diagnose the issue?
I am seeking help on this topic also.
I have battled and one once before but don't know what was the actual fix.
I tried in the past, couple weeks ago, to upgrade to the new 2.3 roms and have had a lot of trouble with the ol' "random reboots". I don't recall what rom exactly that I tried to put on there but I don't believe that the rom was the issue in this situation do to flashing other roms and encountering the exact same reboot issues.
I originally undervolted using vipermod, updated to the new radios from the present "All Radios" post that was grouped together and then flashed a kernal over the rom that I was trying to use.
I got it booted up no problem, went through the setup and then when it was trying to get the reception and/or 3g established it rebooted...the white HTC boot screen appeared and rebooted over and over again.
I tried reflashing the rom, flashing a different rom and so on.
I sort of ruled out the radios after downgrading them and not getting any different results and started to think it was an overheating issue because when I would leave it off for a while it would work longer before the boot party began.
I read something on another thread that when you remove the battery for so long and boot it back up, it clears the internal memory or something similar to that. I searched the market for a boot logger program and found bootlog, I believe that was the name, and checked the log after pulling the battery and letting it boot up all the way. After reviewing the log I noticed that it had stuff like lowmem, deathpening, killing and what not. I then came to the conclusion that it was more than likely the memory, not a clue if it is internal or talking about the temporary stuff that it may store on the sdcard.
I then decided to check out the partitioning of the sdcard. I decided to raise the swap to something like 1 gig and the ext to 2 gig.
I loaded up CM7, nothing extra, and all was good besides maybe one or two reboots that ended up booting all the way up instead of doing the loop at the white HTC screen.
But now, I followed the instructions that was left on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071547&page=1161 (no blame to the post or rom, just a reference) so I can try out a new sense rom...and...if you don't know by now...mayhem/boot loops. I cannot upload any of the logs because I followed the partition instructions.
I have upgraded and downgraded the PRI and the radios with no luck, I am now going to try the partition swap size again and report back.
I am writing this prior so I can get some helpful suggestions coming my way in the mean time, in case me and the Captain can't make this happen, or be able to post my method to fix my scenario so others may benefit.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have S-OFF, HBOOT 0.97, radio 2.15.00.11.19
I still have been having tons of issues and I've gone back to roms I ran 6 months ago n still having the same problem. It just randomly shuts off and turns back on sometimes like 5 or 6 times in a row. This is getting very frustrating I'm gonna have to put it back to stock and take it in. I want to smash my evo with a hammer and then blow torch the sh*t out of it.
I'm having the same problem, only with the Inspire 4G though. I notice mine only happens when the screen turns off.. I'm thinking mine might be an underclocking issue or something because if I have an unread message or if the led is on or flashing at all, it works fine.. Wait, no, it just did it again fml
This is why I dont want to upgrade my radios, you say you ruled out those, but your phone is still jackin up on old roms.
It jus seems I never see an issue that cant be solved by reflashing the rom or a redownload the rom and flash, unless......you mess with the radios, then u get issues like this..im no expert, but this is what I see.
....Radios scare me!
If it was me I would proly unroot it and bring it in, or
Copy SD card to your PC.
Format SD.
Run an RUU that matches your original radios.
Copy SD card data back.
Re-root.
Should be brand new then....
EDIT: Scratch that I wouldnt unroot and bring it in. Easier to runn the RUU like I said

Never flashed a radio unless a rom came packaged with one... Couldn't tell you which one because I've flashed a bunch already seeing if that was the problem or not. I'm partitioning my SD card right now to see if that helps.. Oh, and I bought my phone off eBay cause AT&T sucks at life and it's not a year wait anymore to upgrade. God how I miss Cingular.
Think i figured it out on my end... I don't think my phone likes to be underclocked so I bumped up the mhz a little for screen off and I haven't had a problem yet

I'm having the same problem on rooted stock rom. It's getting more and more frequent. The phone just refuses to come back on after going to sleep. If I plug in the power/usb cable, it actually makes the connected noise as if it's actually awake but the screen stays off.
I've uninstalled all cpu and memory tweaking apps and am still experiencing the issue.

ive tried everything, flashed over and over, un rooted, different roms etc nothing has worked so i just used zedomax's stock rom to restore the phone ( problem still continues) called tmobile and will have my replacement within a day or so, nothing else i can do i suppose.
though my problem did seem to start right when i flashed lite'ing theme for eaglesblood (not saying that caused it )

im starting to think it is a phone issue myself, going to find out Tuesday when my new one arrives though i am hoping it was an error on my part because this phone has the chance to be fantastic.
I was having random shutdowns with my 1st phone, the thing is I never did have stock long enough (rooted after 45min of gettjng) to see if it was the phone or root/rom(s).
My second phone is working great without any random shutdowns, but I'm still stock(running on second day of testing).
Gonna root and flash tomorrow and hope everything remains the same if not back it goes before my remorse period ends.
I really think it's phone related rather then a rom because I've never had this problem with previous phones.
So I would suggest on exchanging it.

Strange restarting at boot up

So recently im getting a strange restarting of my phone right after a restart or a boot up.
It doesn't fully shut off and start up..it seems to be like a soft reboot and it just starts up the entire home screen again.
I've noticed 2 weird things on when its happening...usually when the automatic time and date update...or when USB media scan is running or is about to be complete.
I've fixed permissions ..kept my clock speed at stock.
I'm running BeastMod 4.2 with the latest Synergy kernel ...and Go Launcher Ex.
I've flashed other kernels too and it's happened with all.
Eventually ..after a few battery pulls and a bunch of full blown restarts...it stabilizes and runs like it should.
Ideas?

Do you mind sending me the same message too? I'm having this problem with a few different mods. I had it with Domination 2.0 and with Juggernaut 4.1. It happened really badly when I was at the airport. After I changed my phone from airplane mode to non-airplane mode, and when I started trying to do stuff soon after it started, it would go into an endless reboot loop. It wouldn't restart fully, but the screen would go off for a few seconds, then I would see my lockscreen again. It would go through this process about 4-7 times before finally stabilizing.
I really don't want to get a new phone because I just paid to have an invisible shield installed around the full body less than a week ago. Thanks!

Looks like I have something going on with my external card.. but it works just fine... so a conflict somewhere. I went through the card last night and deleted some stuff... but after I put the card back in... boom...started to happen again.
I'm either going to try to copy things over and format the card.. or just get a new card.

I have been having this exact same problem for a while now. I have tried it on three phones that I've had (original, replacement, and another new one). No matter what rom/kernel i've tried, same thing all the time. I have wiped many a times, fresh installs, formatted memory card, tried without memory card, and same thing. I have never had this problem with HTC phones and really have no idea what to do anymore. Just how weird that everything works well on stock.
Well... mine for sure is my SD card gone wonky... I've done 5 seperate no SD inserted tests... and then insert SD after its already booted up and working fine.
Once I inserted the SD... it would go through the scan and crash.
After a bunch or retries... battery pulls etc.. it finally settles down and works fine.
For yours that its not the SD... call T-Mobile... they were ready to replace mine.

Having mine for only 20 hours and Rooted with Darkside ROM installed, I have not had this issue.
p.s. It took only 10 minutes of playing with Stock ROM to decided that it needed to go.
I still have that issue on my device. I have them off and on but far between. It tends to happen if I am using a app to over or under clock my device.
Mine randomly did this. Your /data partition may be corrupted. If thats the case it will get worse and worse to where it will just reboot as it trys to start almost immediately over and over again...
There are some tutorials how to fix it

HTC DHD freezes up!

Hi all!
Since a couple of days my HTC DHD has been freezing up. Most of times it happens when i take it out of sleep mode. The bottom buttons (home, menu, back and search) do light up, but the phone doesn't respond at all. Sometimes this also happens when using the phone. The screen moves slowely, like a frame every couple of seconds before it freezes up completely. Only way to get it back on is taking out the battery and put it back in. I have installed Cyanogenmod 7.2 about a week and a half ago so i thought the problem might lie there but i switched back to Cyanogenmod 7.0 (which i have been using for the past 6 months or so without any problem at all) and the device still freezes up. This happens twice of more every day! I have wiped everything and updated all my apps and the problem still occurs. I'm really clueless on how to solve this problem.
I can provide a logcat but i have never used that before so i'm not sure on how to do this. Even then, how can i make a logcat when the device freezes up and i need to take out the battery?
Any help would be much much appreciated!!
Thanks!
Did you do a full wipe; all caches, Dalvik e.t.c

The best way to get a logcat is using adb and perhaps a terminal emulator.

Thanks for your replies! Sorry for the late response but had to install SDK and get it up and running.
@ GuyInTheCorner, Yes did all that except for a full wipe. Don't want to loose all my data.
@ Teichopsia, Ok did what you said and i have Logcat running now. Just tested it and it seems to be working. It's huge tho with only a couple of seconds running! Now i have to wait for the device to freeze up again and i can get to my computer while it doing it. As soon as that happens i will make a logcat and post it here.
Thanks for you help so far!
You've changed roms without full wiping? Try it without the sd card to see if there is something in the sd card causing the problem. However, you will probably need to full wipe. If after the full wipe problem persists, check without the sd card, if so, wipe the sd card.
The logcat will help figure where the problem is, but I don't know how to read one.

Ok, so it took a while but my DHD finally froze up again while i had acces to a computer. So i did a logcat. Results are in the Logcat.txt file. I hope anyone out there can read it and figure out what the problem is. Many thanks in advance!!
I started a thread for a similar problem ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734707 ) but the behaviour you describe is identical to what was going on with my DHD.
Try disabling Wifi and see if it stalls up on you - Mine runs great so long as Wifi is turned off. With it turned on I get random freezes, and the screen not turning on with the backlit buttons lit. Removal of the battery is about the only way to get it to respond again.
I tried changing ROMs, kernels, recoveries, radios and bootloaders with varying results but nothing seemed to fix it.
I ALWAYS full wipe and clear any files relating to the previous ROM off the SD card when changing ROMs.
On 2.2 ROMs Wifi would just turn itself on and off, the phone would not freeze though. Wifi was mostly un-usable as data didn't seem to transfer 80% of the time that it was turned on.
On 2.3.x ROMs Wifi started out doing the same thing as on Froyo, but after about a week it started to freeze the phone and would not return from sleep.
On 4..0.x ROMs Wifi would generally cause a complete freeze of the phone almost as soon as it was turned on.
I hope you find a solution. Mine is the 24 month warranty.

Thanks a lot for your quick and thorough reply.
I get random freezes, and the screen not turning on with the backlit buttons lit. Removal of the battery is about the only way to get it to respond again.

Sounds exactly like my problem. I see you have done way more research on this problem then me looking at the thread you started. So i guess the problem lies in the WIFI hardware then. If so, i could send it back for repairs. I also have 24 months warranty. Problem i have, my device fell into a bucket of water when i had it just 3 weeks (about 16 months ago) It never gave me any problems tho! Worked just fine until now. All my warranty labels turned red. I could pull them out and replace them of course. Or tell HTC that it got wet during rain and it was in my pocket. But that wouldn't be honest now would it. A friend of mine has a DHD as well but he tells me he never has this problem which makes me guess the problem only occurs with some builds of the device.
I have been using my WIFI a lot lately for tethering on my laptop. So i will try your solution of turning WIFI off first and just see what happens. Also i will go back to stock rom when ICS becomes available. See what happens ten.
For now thanks a lot Max-E-Moose for your help. I will update this thread if something occurs or i find a solution. :good:
Did u check for apps installed on sd. Try moving them on phone memory if u have space. That can help

Nope didn't try that. I just ordered a new Samsung 32gb class 10 SD card. Should arrive tomorrow. Will try that first. Maybe it helps.
Thanks anyway.
Any luck ONeils? Updatey?
Due to where I am situated, I have not had the opportunity to bring my phone in yet so am still using mobile data almost all of the time.
I didn't mention before, because I forgot about it, but have you tried using WiFix Manager from the market? I read in another thread that this solved a similar problem for some people.
I think the process is: install WiFix, install the fix from the app, then restart the phone. It should be that simple, if it works - it does nothing for my poor DHD.
Currently using JellyTime Beta 7 and I have noticed that I can turn my WiFi on, and use it for a while, but if I forget to turn it off then the phone doesn't want to wake up once the screen turns off. Wifi hasn't froze the phone entirely on this ROM... Yet.
