I just recently installed CM9 alpha 6 on my Epic 4g Touch but ever since my phone restarts so much! Its just super buggy and it acts as if im holding down the power button showing the options for Reboot, Airplane mode, etc. After that it restarts. It will does this almost constantly to the point where the phone is barely usable. Anyone experience similar issues? Any suggestions?
Using it the last few days w zero issues. Which one are you using and how did you flash?

I just installed it myself yesterday, but all has been good. I haven't had any of those problems. You probably should download it again and flash it again.

Really stupid question, but did you use "Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT" zip file before flashing CM9? I only ask because I have had issues in the past with other roms by forgetting to wipe everything beforehand. Even the savvy tech could forget something sometimes :silly:
I'm running the exact same ROM. I underclocked mine down to 800Mhz to save battery and it was causing constant restarts. I moved it up to 1000Mhz and they stopped. If you tried messing with the clock speeds that might have caused it
OP, did you fix your problem or did it just go away? I recently flashed mine to cm9 alpha 6 and am having the exact same problem. Never has this phone had problems before.

I have been having an issue with my phone shutting down on me. When I put it in sleep mode, and after a while try to turn it back on, the phone is completely shut off. The only way to turn it back on is to pull the battery. When it is plugged in, it never does this-even in sleep mode. This is also not ROM specific, it has happened on several different ROMS. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thank you for your help!!!!!!!
If you're using setcpu, raise the screen off clock speed.
Texted while driving
Thanks for the suggestion. I am using set CPU. I looked and can't find that setting. How do I get there?
I am getting the same thing on different ROMS. Specifically the latest Midnight and Syndicate ROMS, which are the only two ROMS I have ever ran. It just started this out of no where as well. I was running Midnight for over a week with no issues, and then yesterday it started shutting off multiple times. So, I wiped everything three times, and flashed Syndicate last night, and then this morning it started doing it again. I just Odin'd back to stock, and am going to see how it runs before rooting and flashing again. I would love to hear what could be causing this issue.
I've been having the same issue. I've had it with the latest Syndicate ROMs, Bonsai ROMs, and Midnight ROMs. It's been very frustrating as I've only been able to reproduce the issue after using the phone for a day our two. It only happens when on battery power and when the screen has been off for several minutes. I've always ensured Set CPU is set to minimum 200 mhz and I've also had the issue without set cpu installed, so I don't think that's it.
I've been doing lots of testing to determine what might be causing it and so far I've eliminated the kernel and ext4 as the culprit. I think it must be some relatively new tweak that all the custom ROMs are implementing. My latest theory is perhaps the NCIQ tweaks.
Thanks so much for the input. Hopefully someone can figure this thing out

I experienced the same issue, and reported it in the Bonsai 4.0.1 thread, as that's the ROM I'm using. I would defnitely like to know about the solution, as it is quite frustrating when this occurs and it does not allow using the phone without the battery power cycle.

Data corruption
I, have found it is best to fully wipe everything.
I installed srf and got freezes and random reboots.
Then i installed cm7, and re-flashed srf from that not a problem since.
This issue has been discussed before,and i suggested this remedy to fix the ailments.
It is tedious but it works just fine.
Not sure what the problem is, but you probably came from an EC05 stock rooted ROM.
I think that is the underlying cause of these problems.
fully wipe your phone 3 times wipe everything flash cm7 ,you dont need to flash the gapps then flash srf or bonsai and watch them run.
Really hoping someone can help me. I have had my Defy for a few months and have always been on a custom SBF but continue to experience problems with the Defy working amazingly for hours and then sometimes I turn the screen on and the Defy is working in some kind of super slow mode and opening anything takes ages, everything does eventually open so it’s not crashed but just going super slow!
I am currently on SBF 3.4.2-177 Nordic but have had the same problem on different SBF’s so either my phone has a hardware issue or its some software I have on my phone, I am currently on Beta 6 of CM7 and have had this issue on other betas of CM7 but have never heard of anyone else with this issue. The phone will sometimes go a whole day without the issue also which is weird. It is not overclocked either. When it goes into what I now call superslow mode I have checked to see what the processor and memory usage are and both are around 60% used not being topped out at all. I have even used StabiltyTest to test the memory and CPU when the problem is occurring and both run through fine.
I really would love to know if anyone else had a similar problem or if they know what is causing it or how I can find out what is causing it without removing every bit of software I use. The only piece of software I use regularly that runs in the background is Juicedefender so I am going to remove this now and see what happens over a few days.
Any help would be amazing
Many Thanks
Bob
Did you install the latest patch for the auto-brightness issue? or Did you turn off the auto-brightness?
Thanks for the fast reply I have already installed the latest patch for auto-brightness issue but still have the problem
Was the phone slow in the stock ROM? I mean that's really wired that the problem appears on each SBF
Hi mys_721x, I only had the stock ROM for a matter of days when I first had the phone so really cant remember but I am thinking I may have to go back to see if I do still have problems if no one else can suggest anything else. Cheers
I have this same problem. Only fix seems to be a reboot whenever it happens

Same here, my phone suddenly becomes sluggish and unusable. Yesterday it was stuck on 100% cpu usage, I entered the task manager to see what was wrong and there wasn't any application that was using the cpu.
Only solution is to reboot everyday.
Glad to see I am not the only one, yea a reboot does the job sometimes it can be twice a day sometimes I don't see it for a few days, do you guys have juice defender installed by any chance as thats the only real program which stays running in my background which is extra to the roms I have used, cheers for your input, lets hope we can figure out whats going on.

I had it to in the past. When i tried to lock the phone it took long time and it wouldn't unlock for a wile 1-2min what is verry long if your waiting and afterwards scrolling was lame.
Don't know what I did, but it's gone now. Now only when out of memory(dhuu!)
I think I wiped it cleen, went to a 2.2 and didn't have it again, now on CM.
Do you see in spare parts any apps using mutch cpu?
Weirdest thing that happens to me..
Every hour/day the phone loads up some applications prepared to start when I turn on the phone..
That means that if I close say, tigertext or Skype, the following day, without turning off the phone, hey are running again.. wtf?
EDIT: A way of checking what's using the CPU, if you're on Froyo, is check the application manager to check for services CPU usage
Yea I have no idea what is causing it but little to no cpu usage when it happens, when I lock on cm7 the tv effect for screen off is super slow motion its really strange, did a clean wipe yesterday and did its first slow down today just before post, cheers

Anyone have any luck with this? Mine just seems to be getting worse and worse on CM7.
Update: I've opened a issue for this on Github. You can go there to post new information / symptoms so that hopefully it can be fixed: https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_device_motorola_umts_jordan/issues/204
Hi dasbin,
Since uninstalling Juicedefender from my phone I have not had this issue once, it has now been 3 days which is probably a record for me so I would say that it was causing me the issue, do you have juicedefender installed? I am now using green power it is much better so far.
Cheers
Hey guys,
I don't know whether anyone encounter this before. But my phone sometimes not frequently will just blackout by itself. The saving grace is that, I do not need to pull the battery to get it working again. I just need to hold on power button for it to reboot again.
Anyone facing this issue before?
By the way, I'm on stock rom and kernel. 4.0.2 here.
Thanks in advance.

unlocked and rooted? I would do a factroy reset and see if that would solve your problem. It could be an app you downloaded.
I'm not rooted at all. Stock rom and kernel.
Anyone has any idea on this?
I've had similar problems but i'm rooted any it was a problem with the governor not bringing the phone out of sleep. I think it was the hotplug feature or something.
Not sure what it'd be on stock, sorry!

i've had my gnex for over 3 weeks and yesterday was the first and only time that i've experienced random shutdowns and reboots. i think i know the culprit.
i was at a location known spotting vzw 3G coverage. no 4G. i had issues getting reception w/ my moto droid phones at this location. this is the first time i've been there w/ my gnex. the gnex shutdown and rebooted twice. a third time, the reboot at stuck at the intro video. had to pull battery.
since i came home to good 4G/3G coverage, my phone has not acted up once.
me thinks random reboots is radio related.
I'm running the stock ICS FF18, rooted. All seemed reasonably well for the first couple weeks, now the damn thing wants to randomly reboot.
I tried wiping, reinstalling the stock ICS, but the problem returned. Reboots happen maybe upwards of a dozen times a day. I've tried isolating the problem but unable to find a common variable...sometimes it happens when I'm in the middle of something, like web surfing or texting. Sometimes it happens when I press the power button, sometimes it happens when it's just sitting there not being touched, sometimes it happens when plugged it, sometimes when not plugged in.
I can't think I have a bad install twice and I'm not finding much on the forums here about others with a similar problem with the stock ICS. So I'm thinking either an app is being a b1tch and causing problems or perhaps something related to the battery? If there was one common theme, it does always happen later in the day or at night after the battery is down below 50%.
Does anyone have thoughts, ideas, suggestions on the likelihood of a bad battery or perhaps someone experienced something similar?

Any special wi-fi config? (That's the culprit in my case.)

No...never installed the hotspot hack, did have foxfi installed, but did not reinstall after reloading ff18.
im also having the same problem as well, and the problem has became worse and worse,what started off as once or twice a day,is now at least occurring every 10 min.I think im about to downgrade right now to stock gingerbread and see what happens
My phone has always had some amount of random "poweroffs" (not really reboots, I pick up the phone expecting it to be on and it boots from scratch instead). However its much more frequent on ICS (FF18/FH13).

I had that issue on AOKP M6, then realized my power button was actually broken. It would reboot the phone because it was actually stuck down internally. Had to get a new phone.

The power button seems to be a common cause of random reboots and that's what I'm leaning towards now as no other software fix has resolved the problem. Supposedly Sprint ordered me a replacement to swap out phones. I'd definitely recommend trying a different Kernel if on FF18 and if that doesn't fix it, try rolling back to EL29.
I have a problem. Yesterday, my phone started rebooting randomly. It's been happening almost every time I use the phone. I rooted and flashed the Calk E4GT 2 4.0.4 ROM about a month or so ago and have had no issues to speak of with it at all. I disabled the facial unlock because I noticed that the reboot would routinely happen with either I was trying to unlock or put the phone in standby or while I was trying to use it in some way.
In the past I had noticed similar behaviors randomly, but never became a persistent issue. Anyone have any ideas as to what the culprit could be?
If I need to reload...how do I go about doing that? Just pick a new ROM and flash from CM to start from scratch? If so, what's a good ROM that is 4.0.4 based to run with....Cyanogenmod?

I'm having the same problem with the stock ff18 rooted...started out of the clear blue, can't place my finger on a consistent pattern. I'm gonna try installing a new kernel and see if that helps. If it works I'll let you know.
I disabled facial recognition security and cleared dalvik and normal cache with clockworkmod. My phone hasn't rebooted basically all day so far.
Something must have been stuck in the cache possibly that was causing issues.
