[Q] Does your phone randomly reboots?

I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else..
However, this seems to be an ongoing issue with me and Android.
I've had the X10a and Nexus One .. both after only rooting it and using a different rom. While making phone calls and charging.. my phone would reboot..
Or playing a game on the phone.. it would reboot. I basically couldn't do anything without the phone rebooting. Which was sad.
Now with the Galaxy S2X.. This very same issue just happened to me moments ago.
Should I have never rooted it or changed the rom in the first place?
It was running very well before I decided to do so.. even while charging and talking on the phone.
Its funny because it just happened while charging.... I'm not even on the phone myself.
Does anyone seem to have any problem with this when using custom ROMs?
Because if this is true.. then I guess I'll flash the stock kernel and stuff back on the phone just to HOPE it doesn't occur then. :/

I've only experienced this after trying different roms and kernels. I flashed the stock kernel and the deodex rooted stock rom back at the same time and have had no such things happen again.
Imo, stock always runs better than any other rom. I always get better battery too.
My sensation was/is the same way, reboots, dropped signals and all until I put it back to stock rooted. Now it's fine.

Yes I have had it more often on this phone though but it has been fixed by wiping the proper things first then flashing. If not then you might need to redownload the file.
If that doesnt work then you need to make sure that the kernel you are using is compatible with the rom
Also make sure that you are using the proper cpu software for the kernel.. Setcpu seems to work good for most but on Juggernauts new kernel they highly recommend Fauxclock .

I've run roms and kernels since we got root. Never had a random reboot or any other problem for that matter.

The only thing I'm worried about is if I continue to wipe and reinstall these customs ROM's that this issue could worsen, but you said that Fauxclock was highly recommended for Jug's Rom? I should try that out myself.
I've always done exactly what was written on the Instructions themselves.
But as for now. . I did a full wipe.. including my SD and the USB data and did a practice call for roughly an hour with me playing games and surfing. So far, there has been any problems. I hope this is perm!
I'd hate to waste another $500 phone D:
As far as the problem kernel with rom etc..
I am running Jug's rom straight. No different kernel's nothing.

I just had it happen to me last night. First time on this phone it has happened. It its stock, rooted. Happened while I was paying music in the car. My other phones with custom roms used to do it all the time.

I wonder if this has happened to anyone without ANY mods on their phone? =X

Are you overclocking?

I am running jugs rom. Before I cleaned everything I did move a lot of apps to SD. Maybe that cause it but as for now I have no.problem. definitely report in the future should there be anymore.

Reviving old thread... I have a completely stock S2X running 4.0.3 and it randomly reboots or shuts itself off.
I'm trying to figure out if it's a wayward app or a hardware problem. Thinking of rooting and removing the bloatware.
I also saw that it could be a faulty power button, but it also happens by itself, sitting on a desk.

[Q] Captivate sometimes doesn't fully turn on

Hi all,
I have a fairly frequent issue with my Glide Captivate. Unfortunately too frequently, when I turn it on, the network is disabled (O with slash through it), most widgets say "Loading Widget..." the slide down status menu shows nothing (well except the Wifi / BT / GPS toggles.) and "USB Connected" if it is. Nothing else. The phone gets incredibly hot, and near as I can tell sucks the battery. The screen often won't unlock - it will just light up the 4 soft buttons on the bottom (menu, home, etc). When I CAN get on it, I get frequent "Sorry! Process system is not respoding"
Attempting to go through System / Manage Applications - usually about a minute in the screen will blank for a minute then go back to the lock screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Try re flashing the rom, if you're using one. If you're not using a rom, and it's not rooted, try restoring it?

Stock rom, it is rooted. Unfortunately, restoring it is the fix - like every week

Could be a hardware issue if you have a warrenty i would complain and try and get a new one which means you need to flash a non rooted stock rom i dont know if you can do this ive never had to remove root

Hey i had the same issue for months with my glide. I bought it outright from rogers and was just running it stock. Drove me nuts exchanged the phone 3 times. Finally narrowed it down to the media scanner/sd card issue. The scanner would run a few times and then reboot the phone. I tried booting it without the sd card in and booted up fine. Tried a dew diff sd cards and seem to have found one that works, but it would happen once every few weeks for me. Ive looked it up on the forums its that common problem with samsung phones. Pain in the butt. Cant remember if you said you were rooted id recommend trying that im too chicken myself. Happens on my sgs2 also.

I have also this issue once in a while, its very annoying, I think that if we could have a AOSP rom that would fix it since samsung polluted their rom so much. Maybe if we get lucky, with the ICS/JB update that issue will be gone. I have also another issue, the phone randomly turns "off" and becomes really hot, it depends on how long it takes for me to realize, but most of the time, it has drained my battery to near death. I don't think those are hardware related issues, but more on the software side since its not AOSP.

Does the temperature rise when it's charging? Because that happens to my phone too. If you have the voltage control, try lowering the max cpu use to lower the temperature a little bit.

Am I the only one whose GN2 locks up every once in a while?

I've been having gn2 from at&t for about 2 months. It's awesome in most respects but it sometimes locks up cold. By cold, I mean that the only way to fix it is to pull out battery for some extended time - 5-10 min. Usually it happens when I use some software, typically accessing network. Just now it happened when I used Chrome beta.
Also it happens sometimes after graceful shutdown that it locks up immediatelly on boot.
Seems to happen with any rom that I tried.
Does anyone else have similar problems? I wonder if it's hardware defect.

I was experiencing lock ups on earlier 7105 ROMs I was using. I thought power cycling was the only way then I discovered if you take out the S-pen (and then put it back) it would unfreeze the device. Maybe give that a shot next time, in case its similar.
Mine would freeze randomly...

I have never had a problem with mine, but it is still stone stock. That will be changing shortly tho...

I haven't had any lockups per se, but I've had 2 random reboots. I've had the device a week. Rooted, on stock.

I've had this phone for 5 months roughly. It has never locked on stock, Clean ROM, CM 10.1

Mine used to do that. Turns out the problem was Superuser. If you have Superuser, and not SuperSU, installed, try switching them and see if it clears up the lock ups.
I would also get weird notifications about "shell" and "radio" trying to get root access.

I had this problem on my SII.

My girl had this problem as well. To remedy it first I wiped the external sd card. Wiped everything off of it incase of some bs data.
Then I wiped and re flashed the rom and only restored mms and the call log with tibu. The rest of the apps she had I manually installed them one by one from the market.
Now doing the above two cleaned up a lot of lockups but it was still happening. Final thing that actually stopped the freezes was getting rid of Chrome. Why was Chrome causing issues, I have no idea but after removal the phone never randomly rebooted and after getting use to the stock browser it's been smooth sailing.

Edit: sorry just for reference both my phone and hers are running SkyNote 6 with the 6.7 update and the saber 13.4 release.

Chrome definitely may be a culprit. It happened to me often when using it. What is interesting is that it wouldn't reboot unless battery is out for few minutes. It feels like some memory state , perhaps in modem, gets corrupted and isn't cleared during boot.
And it was happening at times with freshly flashed rom with full wipe.

I have this issue too. I know for sure it is ROM or Kernel related as it never does it if I revert back to stock ROM and Kernel. Mine seems to be in a really deep sleep when it happens. I hold the power button for about 15 seconds and the phone reboots and everything is fine for a few days again.

GNex lagging really bad after using it for a few weeks.

I had this problem before a few weeks ago, but a full boot.img stock reversion fixed things and I unrooted (then re-rooted) and installed the PACman ROM with the AK Kernel. Everything was fine until a few weeks later it started to lag really bad again. I'm talking the screen would hang for 5-10 seconds or just freeze completely. Earlier today I had to pull my battery about 3 times because of the freezes. I tried to install a new kernel a week ago, but that made it worse.
Why does it keep doing thing. I love the custom ROMs and the kernel tweaks, but I won't be able to use them if I go to stock...

Same thing here on complete stock 4.2.2
Been doing factory reset once a month since I got the phone in September.

You interpreted the symptoms yourself rather than just report the issue and what software combination is resulting in the issue. Its lagging but why is it lagging? "Lag" isn't a symptom its a result of something else going on deeper down.

I'm sorry, man. I didn't realize I had to report the issues exactly as I know them. I totally wouldn't resolve the problem myself if I knew what it was.

I guess you missed the part where I asked what software combination might be causing it.
Diagnosing problems you don't understand is exactly the kind of thing that makes it impossible to help someone. The phone may be right in front of you and you may know what you did but so far all you've done is tell us that:
1. Your phone lags
2. You tried a different kernel
3. You've pulled the battery
Not much to work with is it?
What CPU settings are you using?
What superuser apps?
Etc.

How much free space is on your phone? How about ram usage?

I don't know. Turning the phone on takes about 3 seconds, same with turning it off. After unlocking, it hangs for about 4 seconds. Opening Chrome takes 5-10 seconds. Pressing the home button while on any app takes 5 seconds before it gives a response.
Don't say those are regular waiting times either, before I had these problems, things would appear at the touch of a button.
I also forgot to mention that a fresh ROM install doesn't help.

"Fresh ROM install" as in you're just wiping cache and data then reinstalling?

I think that space is an issue. I've read that once you get below 3 or 4 gigs free, the lag begins. Supposedly, on any disk, you should keep about 20% free, which for a 16gb gnex is 3.2gig.
Edit: isn't 180ghz min pretty low? I've seen 384 as a min suggested if lagging is an issue. And i think you mean mhz.

This is why they shouldn't have gotten rid of SD cards...
I'll see if clearing out my HDD space does anything. I've had it that full for quite some time though...
I'll see if putting 384 as min fizes it.

Your device also might not be able to handle 1.4 GHz oc. While its originally a 1.5ghz processor mild imperfections in the manufacturing process result in it being sold as a (guaranteed safe at) 1.2ghz processor.
What that means is that not every phone will handle the same speeds, voltages etc. You should try running at stock speeds for testing purposes.

I have this same issue, I've tried a number of different ROMs and kernals. They all start out great, then after about a month my phone starts to get random lag, then as time goes on it gets worse and worse until I bite the bullet and start over again

Random reboots

I am getting random reboots on my HTC m8 for Verizon, and I'm not quite sure why. The last one happened while I was browsing in Chrome, and a previous one happened when I was doing some other random task like browsing twitter. I am rooted via WeakSauce with s-on using exposed modules through soft reboots (not sure of this has anything to do with it) . Another thing, when I reboot, it sticks at the Verizon splash screen and I have to manual reboot via vol up and power button.
Also, my phone is getting pretty hot sometimes and I'm not sure why, any tips or possible explanations?

Well I'm inclined to think it's one of the Xposed modules causing your issue. Best way to check is with a Logcat if you can recreate the issue.

I doubt I could recreate the issue because it happens super randomly... I guess if it gets too bad, I'll just quit using my xposed and see if that fixes it

I have the same problem and so does 2 of my colleagues who are completely stock (not even unlocked/rooted). For me it usually happens while not doing anything with the phone though. It can just be sitting on my desk and suddenly reboot. It's insanely annoying and I can't seem to find any good information on the subject.

Well I also just started having some random reboot for whatever reason... Phone was also just on desk and rebooted itself for whatever reason. Funny enough though, my battery life was 96% when I last checked the phone could have drained a little bit more, but after the reboot it shows my battery as being 100% fully charged =o/

Yeah it's semi-stock perhaps. I did put on TWRP again, it's rooted, unlocked bootloader(of course, else no root right?). It was fine the whole time until I installed the xposed framework and some modules, even then I've had it on for about a week and nothing happened until this morning. I took the framework off and of course also the modules, will see if it happens again in the next week or so... :fingers-crossed: that it doesn't.

Hi guys,
So I was having the same problem with random reboots. I got frustrated and thought to just root and change to a GPE ROM. In the process of doing that I rooted and installed SetCPU. I discovered that the clock speed was 2265 and the minimum spped was set to 1958 by default. I felt like this was weird because that means the processor is running near full speed at all times (thus why the phone would get warm). To test I set the phone at max 2265 and min 2265. Almost immediately after reboot the phone started to get very warm. So, I changed the min to 1574 and then rebooted. It has been two weeks with:
no reboots
slightly better battery life than before
phone does not get warm
I have the T-Mobile HTC One M8. I wonder if the constant high speed was intentional. I had to exchange my phone twice before trying this. I even tried using the phone before installing third party apps and it would still reboot. I am rooted with s-on and stock recovery and now I don't feel the need to install another ROM.
Hope this helps for some of you!!

good looking out there. However I most likely won't be changing my ROM due to it working fairly nicely with my JVC KW-NSX700 car stereo. Mirrorlink seems to be functional with a quirk here or there.

Oh, I'm still running the stock sense rom

Well, this is good news. I'm going to be getting rid of my Nexus 5 for one of the... Ones... here shortly. Poor speaker and microphone quality are just two things I can't deal with anymore with the Nexus 5.
Seems like HTC tried to just have the CPU running too hot, figuratively and literally. Underclock down to like....1958 max, and it should be fine then. I know my Nexus doesn't like being run at a max of 2258 for very long, if at all. I'll get random reboots on stock vanilla android, and ParanoidAndroid.
