My Phone Keeps Restarting Help.

I was carrying my phone and i dropped it, and now it won't turn on. Well i plug it to my computer and then i pressed the on button and it turns on but it gets to windows screen and reboots and does this over and over. BUT if i unplug it doesnt turn on anymore.
I've flashed it a couple of time but the last time i flashed it was back to the stock alltel rom because I wanted picture messages to come through.
I've reflashed it again and it goes through but when you unplug it. It turns off again.

So, when did you drop it? Like, right after you flashed a gsm rom onto a cdma phone (or vice-versa, not sure what alltel is, though I suspect it's cdma). Is dropping the phone even relevant to the story, or is flashing the cause of the re-boot cycles? You need to be a little more clear. By that, I mean, what did you do immediately before the re-booting started? Flash, or drop?
I suspect you need to go back to the stock rom and you'll be good to go. If dropping is the cause, go back to stock, and if it's still broken, send it in for repairs/warranty/insurance or whatever.

Yup, Alltel IS CDMA.....

If it works while connected to the computer then you might have broken the battery-phone connection...or who knows. I'd definitely send it back if it is tstill in warranty.
Good luck.

Okay, i flashed it like 6 hours earlier to droping it, no i don't have warranty on it.
so i flashed it with back to the stock rom
then i dropped it 6 hours later and it keeps rebooting only when i have it plugged in but it wont turn on without it being plug.

You haven't answered whether or not you flashed a GSM ROM to your CDMA phone.
Can you see physical damage?

Oh, idk why but i typed something wrong, i've had this rom forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741 the alltel one since yesterday, and i dropped it today, After i dropped it put the battery back on but it didn't start up so i pluged it to my comp and it started up so i did hard reset while i had it plugged up to the computer and it didn't fix it.
*NOTE it can only start up (well try to start up but reboots) when i have the cord pluged up as soon as i take it out it wont start at all.*
So, i figured since it will only start up when i have a power source and reboots it might have a booting problem. So i reflashed it with the same rom i posted a link to..
I still have the same problem
Also i have no warranty bought phone from a friend.
*Also no damage just battery poped out when it got dropped*

So before you dropped it it was working fine on the stock Alltel ROM?
If that's the case, its probably physical damage, although the constant restarts would indicate a software issue.
Make sure your battery is getting a good connection.
It may just be a damaged battery.

Yes, it was working fine, I got a spare battery at home so i'm gonna try that, but ya the restarting make me think a software problem cause its getting power really from the computer port.

Issues with EC10 Radio

I am having issues with the radio on EC10. After a about 10 hours the radio will turn off all by itself or just lock up. The US Cellular tech said it must be the other software on the phone that is causing it. This phone is a replacement for my original phone that the USB port stop working with the computer. My question is by updating to another radio offered in the development forum, would that fix the problem? For the moment I downgraded back to 2.1 to see if the radio works with the software loaded. I think its a defective phone and will do warranty service again if it turns off again or lockes up under 2.1.

I'm willing to vote defective phone. I had the exact same symptoms on my Mez. I got mine back in October when they were originally released. Worked great until about 2 months ago. USB stopped connecting for anything other than charge.
About a week ago, it began randomly rebooting itself and coming up in Airplane mode. A battery pull would fix it.
Then it started going into airplane mode randomly, without a reboot. But it would not come back unless I factory wiped the phone.
Did a replacement swap with USCC, had no problems at all with the replacement phone.
Rooted the first try with super one click, restored my apps from Titanium Backup, and moved on.

thunderbolt reboot

Well i am not so convinced it is the radio so much as the hardware, my original tbolt would reboot every 5 min or so no matter what. so read the forums,researched the web,talked to s friend at htc,verizon and vodafon. then i rooted it flashed different roms and radios nothing helped,along comes the official update do i reroot the phone and restore it the way i got it,set it up and let it do the ota update by itself,after 3 tries it finally took it,then a day or so later it froze so i pulled the battery booted back up once it was running started all over with the reboots every 5 min,the all at once it started to reboot all the time ,htc and verizon both said it is a known hardware failure and i got this bolt the same day ,rooted flashed,reflashed ran it to hell and back and not one reboot other than by drastic mistakes. both phones have the same chip so i would think its not a different chip but a defective series of chips, in closing i suffered the reboot problem on in the gb radio but with stock rooted ota setup.

I talked to them about it today "Verizon / HTC" and they said to do a factory reset that it fixes it, and it did. They said that it's the radio interacting with their cell towers and something glitches and it reboots. They're working on fixing the issue right now, HTC that is.
But yeah, my wifes stock phone has stopped rebooting now. We just received the phone Thursday.

Post what you were doing when your g2X locked up

I'm starting to keep a log every time my g2x locks up where I write down the date, time and what I was doing when it happened to get an idea of what could be causing it to happen and to get an idea of how often it happens.
If you want to do this as well, please post which rom you are using and which firmware.
So far, I've logged this once when I was opening a site in the android browser.
Using Cyanogenmod 7 with Gingerbread 2.3.4

About to get on star tours, pulled it out of my pocket to check mousewait.
lockedup

I have had re boots every now and then.
Freezes and screen locks just seemed to start last week, and now today, my phone seems to shut off the screen 30 seconds after boot.
The touch buttons work fine as well as the sound and vibrate. When I hold down the off button I feel it vibrate as it does when the menu pops up, but the screen does not show.
I'm kind of clueless what changed to make this happen.

bionix..
Listening to Pandora for around 30min. Turned on the screen to check battery level. Was getting low. Plugged it into the wall charger. Phone rebooted. Had headphones plugged in.

Turned off screen. Waited a minute. Usually worked.
G2x with faux AOSP and faux orange kernel. [email protected] 5107 quadrant.

I've been consistently logging what I was doing when the phone locks up (which is no more than once per day) and it seems that my G2X has always locked up while browsing in the android browser except for 1 instance where it locked up in the Firefox app.
Has anyone else noticed this as well ? I am keeping up with the latest builds of CyanogenMod hoping that these bugs will get worked out.
On the bright side, the problem where the audio doesn't work until you reboot the phone seems to have gone away. I guess that it's been fixed in the latest builds.

Glad I'm not the only one...

I just put the phone back in the box I bought it in.
I stopped using custom ROMS when streaming radios just lagged or skipped. Now granted, at least in Stock ROM, the radio stream lag and skips stopped. It pisses me of that Slacker Radio will not work on G2x. I tried almost ever ROM. I think its the phone or the silly app. The crashes/freeze, especially on stock android browser was the last straw for me.
I had it and locked it up until the LG updates the device.
On myTouch 4g until then.

I was texting and this POS just decided to lock up.
I went to unlock the screen and this POS locked up.
I was scrolling through apps and this POS decided to lock up.
Sorry for the agression but im borederline done with this phone, 3rd shipped one.

sleeping. or sitting at my desk not using the phone. I don't think I've had it lock/reboot more than once when I was actually doing something, but lately it's rebooting every night when I'm fast asleep (phone isn't plugged in) and sometimes during the day in my pocket.

Finally someone who is in the same boat as me. I'm trying all kinds of different things to pinpoint the cause because it's very obvious that it's related to some software that's time based - runs at specific intervals. I get either freezes in standby or reboots almost every night in the middle of the night - like 3-4AM or so. HOWEVER, I use the crap out of the phone during the day (every feature, kill it all) and it hangs tough and runs great. So it's not hardware for sure. Will post if I find anything.

I was dropping a deuce when it locked up.

Unlocking the screen, charging off of AC or USB, texting, browsing, doing nothing sitting on my desk or in my pocket... umm... let's see... just about ANYTHING at any given time. Let's not forget the random reboots that happen multiple times a day and sometimes goes for 2 or 3 days without doing it. Battery pulls becoming more frequent then with my old BB. Getting to be ridiculous.
Let me not forget I have tried every damned kernel/ROM combo out there. Stock rooted, etc... on my third phone and they have all experienced the same problems. Different batteries as well both factory stock and aftermarket. At this point I am just waiting for LG to do something. If not when the SGS II comes out I will just get that and demand a refund from T-Mobile for selling me this wonderful brick of a phone.

Mine always locks up when in browser visiting xda forums. The progress bar hits 50% and everything freezes. I have to press power several times before it gets back to normal.

Guys,
Are you guys using CyanogenMod ? This was happening to me a lot on the stock ROM but since I upgraded to CyanogenMod, I've been having maybe 1 lock up per day but sometimes less then that. I'd really recommend trying it out if you aren't using it already.

My dog fell asleep on it and it must have overheated. I pulled the battery and it wouldn't boot past the CM7 lg boot screen. Luckily I had a nandroid of dark sinister 1.1. Bet it kept the pooch warm though.

well I'm running faux's kernel with faux's AOSP rom and the quickpanel mod for about a week now...no lockups
I've only had to reboot once becuase i lost sound after using the torch

Twice it locked up just from pulling it off the charger.

Randomly Turns off multiple times a day???

I have had my white Skyrocket just a day short of 1 week. Today is the first day it has just randomly shut off and three times so far. Has anyone else experienced this? I was talking on it for about an hour with 90% charge, ended the call, set it down, and picked it up 30 mins. later and it was off. When I woke up this morning I watched some Youtube, checked some emails, and 10 mins. later off again. I had to take out the battery and turn it on. I'm rooted with the ICS rom.

Try flashing the stock kernel and see if it persists.

Most likely it's the Kernel. Flash stock-ish kernel and that should fix the issue.

I will give that a try then.....thanks

Did it work?
I also have the same issue. Rooted with Sky ICS 2.3.6 and my phone just randomly turns off from time to time. I'll be use it and then it turns off and the power button doesn't work. Have to take it out of my Otter Box Defender case, take the battery cover off and pull the battery and put everything back together.
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket
Sky ICS 2.3.6 ROM
CPU OC Kernel

YES! I'm on my 2nd SR, since release for same reason.
My first Skyrocket began repeatedly restarting, a few days after purchase. I thought I had the problem solved, after attributing the issue to an extra 16gb micro sd card, I took from my t-mobile Galaxy S 4G. But now my new Skyrocket, less than a week old, began the same **** 2 days ago - ALSO, after installing an extra 4gb card i had. WTF? The screen suddenly flashes white and the phone starts a continual process of restarting, until I'm able to get it to factory reset.

Well I flashed back to the "stockish" Kernal and i have not had a single random power off in over a week. Thanks.

I recommend using the CM7 + KA_G CM7 kernel. Its awesome. Way better then stock + I don't experience random sleep of death like I do with regular rom + DA_G overclock kernel.

Thanks for reply. It's been fine since my previous post, before which, it took 4 to 5 hours for me to get it to remain on, long enough to complete a factory reset.
Additionally, I'm wondering if downloading/installing "warez" for extended periods, most of which I'll just uninstal (tech addiction), could be reason for the shut downs??

I never had this problem with my first phone.
But my replacement phone has powered off a few times. It does have an SD card installed.
A couple times while unplugging/removing it from my car dock (3rd party charger). It just powers off. And I have to manually power it back on again.
And several times while plopping it lightly down on the table or pressing/holding the phone in a weird way.
Also once or twice while ending a phone call.
I'll prolly take it back soon. I'm outside of 30 days though, so I'm in no rush as I'll just get a refurbed phone I'm sure, and have to take my chances on getting one with a crap screen. While my current phone has a perfect screen (no vertical lines or blobs).
I've had the problem with custom ROM's, kernels and also on more than one reflash of stock ROM/Kernel.

Trade phones? Mine has lines, but it probably has the best hardware out of all skyrockets.
1.89GHz stable, no problems with any ROM's, no SoD problems, nothing.

JK lol, I love my phone. <3
