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?
Thanks

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.
This is starting to get a little frustrating...
Running CM 6.1.1 and i can't get my phone to stop randomly rebooting when i OC
i started all the way at max, and worked my way down to stock clock MHz. still getting random reboots.
but even at stock clock, i'm getting reboots. what's wrong with my phone?
i was thinking, maybe i should try using another kernel? can i use CM 6 with another OC kernel? i flash it just like a rom, right? any suggestions on which kernel to use?
IS IT A KERNEL PROBLEM? that's just my guess.
any help greatly appreciated.

Have you tried NB_Mod 2.15 or CR_Mod 2.13? Those are froyo stock roms (2.15 being the later version) and if those don't work on the stock kernel, stock clock, etc., then send it in to t-mobile.

that's the thing
my phone was working completely fine out of the box...
when i installed cyanogen, that's when my phone would randomly reboot
and i can't exactly send it to t-mobile, because i use it on AT&T.
not to mention, i bought this phone off ebay, so it doesn't have a warranty either
unless someone wants to give me a proof of purchase that i could borrow, HTC won't take a look at the phone

a bit confused, sorry... when you say stock t-mobile rom, what i thought you meant was stock form. as in, out of the box. as i said in my previous post, the phone worked fine out of the box. those roms you mentioned are stock tmobile roms? i thought t-mobile didn't release froyo yet for the slide... would you like me to flash one of those roms you mentioned?
i went ahead and flashed NB_Mod 2.15. it's a solid rom, but a tad laggy...
that said, it has not reboot on me. what does that mean exactly?
please dont tell me i can't run cyanogen
i have noticed that my reboots are soft reboots.
the phone doesn't completely turn off. it simply goes back to the CM loading screen and shows the lock screen in a matter of a few seconds.

Soft reboots indicate software, if it was overclocking that was the issue it would be hard rebooting, or simply just freezing. I know you've already tried this, but try it one last time, wiping/factory reset and flash 6.1.1 stable. If it still reboots, (if it's reasonable) try to get a logcat right before the soft reboot, maybe we can find what's causing the reboot, an app maybe.

thank goodness for that. it's a great relief to hear that it's only a software problem. i can't tell you how scared i got lol....
i can wipe and reflash the phone again, but what's logcat? i will do as you say, but i would appreciate it if you walk me through. i've never used it before....
i used adb and typed in logcat, but i just got a mountain of garble...
not exactly sure where to go from here, or what i'm supposed to do.

Yes, that garble is what I need to look at
Leave your phone plugged into your computer, type adb logcat, and wait for the phone to soft reboot. If you know how to trigger the reboot, trigger it, and then immediately press CTRL + C in command prompt, that is, immediately after you see the boot screen come up again. Then, right click the command prompt window, click select all, paste it into a text file, and upload it as an attachment in a reply here. I'll take a look and see if it's an app or something else causing it. Someone else probably (hopefully) also take a look at that text file and contribute to my conclusion.

obviously, my phone decides to not reboot anymore once i plug it in...
ran the phone for roughly an hour.
i tried nearly everything to get a soft reboot, but no luck.
however, when i launched angry birds, the game would crash on me, and i would be brought back to the home screen, without warning. no force close notice.
i'm not sure how much help that would be, but i've attached that logcat file.
there is no ryhme or reason as to when my phone reboots. i'm assuming it has to be a background program or something, because none of the normal apps i use, show any patterns. the reboots occur whenever.
would i be able to just leave the phone plugged in, and keep logcat running, or do i have to be present when the reboot actually happens?
i don't mind running it overnight or something...
I'll take a look at the logcat when I'm on a computer, but the angry birds exit to home would probably happen if your phone has usb storage mounted and angry birds was on your sd card. Rebooting should fix that.
Can't leave it running overnight, since command prompt only saves and displays a certain number of lines.
My last suggestion would be to do a fresh install of cm7 or cm6, whichever, and install an app one by one, maybe like 5 a day or whatever, and see when the reboots start. Are there any apps that you use that are handling system stuff, like a task manager? Make a list of your installed apps and post it here, we can probably find what would be more likely than others.

darn, i'm not sure if i got it...
it was like a unicorn sighting.
i went to plug my phone in for an adb logcat, and as soon as i plugged it in, the phone froze and soft rebooted. cmd was filling up with stuff fast, and i wasn't sure if i stopped it in time. in a panic, i forgot how to stop cmd, so i don't know if the error is present in this file.
i attached the text file
i will keep trying for another logcat until you report back. if the logcat is no good, i'll just do a fresh install.
i can provide you with a list of all the apps i run, but is there a way to generate a list? or would i have to type them out manually?
The angry birds logcat LOOKED like a missing lib, probably because the part of the app on the sd card wasn't being loaded. Did you try rebooting?
As for the second logcat, it looks like it MAY have been stopped too late, although, how many seconds do you estimate went by? Because whatever was running when the reboot occurred should stay there for around 10-20 seconds, but I can't completely be sure of that.
Actually, I can see a line that states that the boot had completed on line 124, and it looks like everything above that is post-reboot, sorry, you're gonna have to snatch another logcat :/
As for apps, I don't know of an efficient way of doing it, I know there's an app that exports a list of apps to a text file but for the life of me I can't remember what it's called.
Edit: It's called Zemna app list backup or something like that. Create a list of all apps, and then longpress the list and press send, you can send it to musicman374 at gmail.

I just backed up my list of apps and sent it to you.
I will try getting a logcat within the next day or so. If i can't, I will wipe and we can take this through, so i don't mess anything up this time...
Alright, sounds good. And it doesn't look like any of those apps would be causing anything like soft reboots, in fact, I have most of them installed on my phone. Aside from AndroZip and ColorNote, I have all of those, so they definitely shouldn't be the culprit.

so then would wiping and reflashing my phone really solve the soft reboots?
this would be my 4th or even 5th attempt to get my phone to function properly (i lost count).
i don't mind, but my general concern is this...
i would be using the same recovery, with the same rom, and i would be installing the same apps again.
i'm guessing i'm going to have to get a logcat file anyway, unless by some miracle my phone decides to wok properly this time i flash... either that or find a better way of flashing roms
what would you have me do?
UPDATE: YES!
i managed to force my phone into a soft reboot. not exactly sure what i did, but i just kept opening and closing random apps on my phone.
logcat 2. i wasn't sure when exactly i was supposed to stop the file, because CMD was filling up fast. hopefully i nabbed it. i stopped cmd, just a few seconds before the screen went back to the CM loading logo.
did i do it right???
logcat 3 happened when the phone was just sitting still. was not provoked. sorry, i don't want to hammer you with logcat files, but it has been so hard for me to get a logcat. so i'm trying to get every one i can.
please let me know
I was relieved to see the same error messages in your logcat as I see on my wife's slide.

It's possible that we both have a hardware issue, but just FYI, this happened on my wife's original slide, and it's happening on the refurbished warranty replacement we just got.
From searching on the web, it appears that this problem may be caused by openGL. I don't think the stock roms use it, or at least not the newer version like CM does.
you didn't post your application list, but i've had my wife's phone crash while just booting up and sitting at the thunderstorm (free) LWP, which would be the only thing using openGL. I'll have to disable it for a few days and see if that solves it.

i'm not so relieved now... this phone doesn't have a warranty... and if it's hardware, houston we have a problem
I'm not running any applications out of the ordinary.
i attached an app backup list from my phone
UPDATE: apparently, my phone is covered under warranty, even though i bought it off ebay.
i called up HTC and they didn't even ask for proof of purchase or anything. so hardware problem? bring it on.
but the problem still persists regardless...
Was browsing the Android Forum on XDA and happened to run into a thread about a program called Ram Manager. Its getting pretty much rave reviews in the thread and market so I decided to give it a try. I don't want to get ahead of myself but my Nitro is seeming to run much better with it. Just thought I would pass it along to my fellow Nitro users to see if you guys think it makes your phone better. There is a paid and free version on the market at
https://market.android.com/details?...WFydHByb2plY3RzLlJBTU9wdGltaXphdGlvbkZyZWUiXQ..
The thread on XDA can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305060
UPDATE: Ram Manager requires ROOT
I have no connection with this developer and just want to pass a possible lag fix down to the community.
What the heck, $2 wasn't going to kill me, so I bought it.
Only been running it about 10 minutes but I've been opening and switching back and forth to my most commonly used apps and so far it's been pretty much instantaneous. So far so good!
Thats what I thought also. Posted here because I wanted to make sure I wasn't nuts. I bought it too. Like to support the devs here.
guys is this something you have to start up manually after each reboot? i restarted after an install and didn't notice it running in my app manager... thanks!
ive got it running, seems ok. i think at this stage we're dealing in millisecond differences, lolz.
i think i saw a bigger difference in things when i installed juice defender ultimate and set it up properly.

You do not have to start it up after each reboot. It adjusts memory scheduling parameters and they are saved after each change made.

i installed it, ran it, restarted phone and its not running. so yeah i guess we have to start it everytime when the phone boots up, unless someone with more expertise can answer this.

Ram Manager changes memory settings on your phone (memory scheduler settings that prioritize certain appliciations and set the timeouts for applications before they are cleared out of ram) that persist through reboot. When you change your ringtone, do you expect to see a ringtone service running after every reboot?
You guys are so spoiled! The phone is lightning fast (as soon as you get rid of the laggy stock launcher). How much more fast do you need to be satisfied?
/me gonna try it now too...
thought on this so far? how are y'all figuring out if it makes an impact or not? i've been running it for several days now and disabled it this morning to see if i notice a diff

Ram Manager is executed After Startup, but all it needs to do is change memory settings, then it ends.
i've been trying to confirm that it *kills* apps that are running that are not being used. have several running all morning that haven't been used.
Alright, so my girlfriend's Samsung Galaxy S II started to go through these weird partial reboots several weeks ago (maybe even months). The phone would randomly go black, play the stupid shutdown/startup (dont remember which) jingle...then just simply be at the lock screen with a crossed out circle where the signal bars would be (for just a couple of seconds). When this happened, I used to just tell her to shutdown the phone, take out the battery, and let it sit for about 30 seconds, then put everything back together and start it back up. This seemed to work, which made me think it might have just been a software or at worst a memory issue of some kind.
This issue was always intermittent, but now, no matter what I do, it just keeps looping this "restarting" problem. I can't access any internal memory space from my computer because in the time it takes to connect, it just "reboots" again. I made a logcat of the phone up until the "reboot", and in doing so noticed that when I would browse the phone via adb shell, I saw no mount for the sd card...which then lead me to believe maybe it was an issue with that. I checked the sd card for corruption (and prior to even using it, checked that all blocks were read/writable (legit)), but that led nowhere.
Anyways, not having any idea where to go next, nor where to begin or what to look for in the 5000+ lined logcat, I turn to xda with hopes of getting some sort of help. Thanks in advance for any I get!
EDIT: Oops, some other important notes I didn't mention (other than in title); this is running stock firmware, only OTA. I tried once to upgrade her to ICS via Kies, but the upgrade would never complete. She also refused to let me root her phone...so unless there is a stock recovery mode, her phone has none...
bump, as its been a week and no responses. If anyone has any ideas or can figure out whats wrong from the logcat, please help.
Almost 3 weeks...no answer...isn't there at least 1 person who has an idea or can deduce one from the logcat? Pretty soon I'm gonna have to tell her to give up and get it "fixed" (ie, swapped for a refurb with most likely all her data lost)...

Looking at the logcat if it is accurate the problem is overheating and it is shutting itself down. That's why it keeps rebooting from I read but I could be wrong. Also looks like it has wakelock issues. Lot of wakelock errors in logcat. Some app or apps are causing the wakelock issue find them and remove them that might solve the problem.

i say try to odin back her phone to stock on here there a good post for it to get her back and if she had Gmail sync there shouldnt be a problem unless she really dont want to download everything again i say give odin a shot and then from there upgrade through kies its tricky you have to make sure you have 50% battery life or more and kies errrors out sometimes but it does work i update my friends phone as he does not like all the root stuff lol so i always your kies after a couple errors it will work and thats your best option if she doesnt want to loose anything kies will back it all up for her and are you sure that power button aint sticking sounds like you have a looping issue are you able to go into download mode or are you familiar with this ?
Idk how to read logcats but another idea could be you have the sticky power button issue. I think if it was overheating u would feel it and mention it in the op.

I used to have this problem when my phone was on ICS. I found that putting it back to GB, and using custom JB roms fixed it. I'd try those.
For starters, thanks everyone for the responses! After this long, its really great to see so many in one day!

Thats what I thought, because it seemed to get exceptionally hot before "rebooting"...at first...then I was noticing it "rebooting" when clearly cold. If it is indeed overheating like I had thought in the very beginning, is there anything I can do about it? What does it use for heat conductivity and displacement? And for that matter, I would think if it was overheating though, it would actually reboot, not the half-ass semi-reboot its been doing...
And what is wakelock exactly that it would cause an issue? Only apps I see using it are WootWatcher, KeyguardViewMediator and PowerManagerService.

i say try to odin back her phone to stock on here there a good post for it to get her back and if she had Gmail sync there shouldnt be a problem unless she really dont want to download everything again i say give odin a shot and then from there upgrade through kies its tricky you have to make sure you have 50% battery life or more and kies errrors out sometimes but it does work i update my friends phone as he does not like all the root stuff lol so i always your kies after a couple errors it will work and thats your best option if she doesnt want to loose anything kies will back it all up for her and are you sure that power button aint sticking sounds like you have a looping issue are you able to go into download mode or are you familiar with this ?

I would use odin...but the phone doesn't stay on long enough to do much of anything before "rebooting". Also, she is already using stock firmware + OTA updates. And her contacts are not what I am worried about, its her photos and such. This is the very reason why I hate internal memory for phones...
And I'm pretty sure its not a sticky power button, I had seen that being a common issue when researching before posting. And again, if I have not been clear, its not exactly "rebooting", just semi-rebooting; phone starts up, crap starts running, a min or 2 later, phone acts like its restarting (plays sound and all), then just comes back to the lock screen immediately...I can't really describe it much more than that.
And no, I'm not familiar with "download mode"

Idk how to read logcats but another idea could be you have the sticky power button issue. I think if it was overheating u would feel it and mention it in the op.

Ya, like I said in the reply above this, I don't think its the sticky power button problem...but I could always be wrong. I only didn't mention over heating because I felt I did a good job of ruling it out.

I used to have this problem when my phone was on ICS. I found that putting it back to GB, and using custom JB roms fixed it. I'd try those.

Its running GB atm, never updated to ICS via Kies...
I wish I could help you further but i can say one thing, the rebooting that your describing is called a "hot reboot". I know what ur talking about and others will too if u use that term. Good luck.

Getting a weird overheating message on the stock 4.4.2 rom (XWDNF1)
It basically says 'your device is overheating some apps will be closed'.
Then it may pop up again and say 'X amount of apps were closed you can only use the phone and contacts'.
The warning is bogus though as I can feel the device to the touch and tell it's not overheating. Even if it was, I don't want my rom making the decision to stop on it's on.
Does anyone know how to deactivate this warning?
I'm using the: Stock Samsung rom, Rooted with a Stock Kernel.
Here is a screenshot, I'd appreciate any insight. I figure this is a stock kernel "safety" thing. But, is there a way to disable it? Do I just need to use a different kernel?

This happened to me on civato's custom rom/kernel once as well. Not sure how to disable it. Probably baked into the kernel code somewhere. I only got the message that one time so have not really been concerned with it. Was not the same message though because it didn't close any apps automatically or make me do anything. I shut it down for a bit and restarted at later time. My tablet was not hot either as all I was doing was browsing with Dolphin.
