Rebooting may be a hardware problem

First g2x rebooted constantly. Froze up on charger. Required battery pull.
New g2x hasn't rebooted yet. Same SIM card.
My guess is that if yours reboots you got a dud and should exchange it.

The same happened to me. First phone suffered from reboots.
My replacement is fine but I still haven't root it, so I blamed it on the root process.
Is yours rooted?

To counter your point..
Original G2X - rebooted a lot but then removing apps, software changes have made it more stable. Usually go 3+ days without a reboot
Replacement G2X (sent back) - rebooted just like my first one so i didn't even bother removing apps. SAME BATTERY AS ORIGINAL!
I also think it's mainly the battery which is what you're seeing by getting a replacement. I think some batteries don't charge properly so there are times when the voltage drops too much to sustain the phone causing a lock/reboot. I've been monitoring my phone and the more I think about it the more I realize most of my reboots happen after I had taken it off the charger at 100%. I can use it without charging it and it never reboots. Also battery monitor widgets,etc. cause reboots which all comes back to a bad battery or horrible battery driver which CM devs have already said existed.

After months of being in denial about the same problem which has plagued the O2X since launch, a couple of weeks ago LG Europe acknowledged the problem publicly and said it was software.
http://translate.google.com/transla...alligevel-problemer-med-optimus-2x,lid.15324/
Here's the post on the O2X forum that discusses the problem in gory detail. Interestingly, it says the Atrix is having a similar issue which could certainly point to the processor.

The rebooting is a software issue. The only time my phone rebooted was when I installed an app (Fring). After I uninstalled it, no issues.

Neither were rooted. Also, rooting in and of itself is incidental; it would not affect the issue as rooting does not change any of the kernel files.

Very interesting. This corresponds to what I experienced, and I think you may be on to something here.

I guess I have been one of the lucky ones. I bought my phone on the 22nd and have never had a reboot or lock up happen. Also my lcd bleeding is pretty minimal. Im still exchanging my phone for a new one because the little black piece of plastic that covers the camera just fell off one day plus I have a dead pixel on the screen that driving me nuts.

It is not the root process. I thought the same thing the first night after I rooted. The phone would not stay on for more than 5 minutes. The store rep did not believe me and tried his sim card and sure enough after five minutes sitting on the counter it turned off and only by pulling the battery was he able to get is re-started. Some of the phones are screwed up. Swap it. My new one is running great except for the battery life.

Oh. Sorry. It just seems that on a lot of threads where people post about problems they are having, you jump in say you don't have any issues and to uninstall something like Fring that works fine on every other phone, so I thought you were trolling.

Although I often manually reboot the phone. I haven't seen one single auto-reboot or freeze, before or after root. So I don't think root is the cause of auto-reboot.
All bloatware are there and running, sometimes I manually close CarHome and TeleNav after reboot, sometimes I forget to do so.
From what I've seen, auto-reboot does look like a hardware problem. To be more specific, those devices are defective.

Just jinxed myself. Right after I replied to this thread I saw first freeze. After pulling battery and putting it back I saw "System Checking..." upon booting, and many force closes after boot was completed.

Just offering what worked for me. If that's not the case then just return your phone. You can keep getting a new one or listen. There's nothing wrong with the phone that a software update probably wouldn't fix.

My 2nd phone has no auto shutdown yet, but I am using new sim card. My ex G2X was using the old sim card.

My week old today G2x, 4/11/11 build, has never rebooted by itself. The only problems I'm having are flaky behavior switching wifi calling on and off automatically and some back light bleed.
As for how one phone reboots and others don't, it could be software or not. In order to really know for sure you would have to be absolutely certain you had the exact same apps installed in the exact same order, be in the same location at the same time and under the same conditions and loads.

That could be the cause, since my previous phone suffered from reboots and I was using the old SIM. I started using the new SIM since day one with this phone and still no reboots..

[Q] OTA 2.3.4 update(Nexus S 4g) Battery, and Signal Strength

Hey everyone, I am enjoying the nexus s 4g(traded in my Evo 4g) but I have noticed some issues started to pop up after the OTA update to 2.3.4.(Build GRJ22). Also I am not rooted yet(for fear i will not be able to receive the next update that may resolve the issue's listed below).
Note I have updated my Profile, and PRL(Next to flashing to another ROM to mitigate the issue's).
1) Battery Charging, after the update the battery will not charge past ~95 percent.
2) Battery Life when idle, before the update battery life was outstanding with moderate usage. Now the device's battery life drops to ~85 percent after being unplugged for 15-20 mins.
3)Signal Reception, yet again my phone will constantly switch between 1x, and 3g even though my SNR, and DB never hits above ~65DB-~70DB.
4)Data Rate/Bandwidth, I was pulling 3-4 megs down/ 1.5 - 2.0 megs up(I live in the Virginia Beach Area) over 3g, Now I get "**** for speeds"(.3 megs down/.25 megs up. Maybe it is reference to the issue listed above(AOSP ROMS in my opinion provide a more accurate display of mobile network connectivity).
To end it I hope I am not alone with these issues?
Maybe if possible someone has a solution?

The battery thing is a means to keep the battery in better shape its not a bug.

You aren't alone, all of the issues you listed are being looked at by Sprint and Google right now, although like the above poster said, the battery thing is intentional. Hopefuly they figure out what is wrong soon =/
In the meantime, using wifi when possible should alleviate a lot of those issues, mainly battery life on standby.

Many of my battery and network connection issues got mutch better when I turned the wifi to never sleep.

The data issues you are having are due to 2.3.4 and they are known. google/samsung are supposedly working on it. But I doubt we will see a fix anytime soon if Samsung is fixing it!

Woa, woa, woa. Wait a second, are you saying that going back to 2.3.3 or whatever the previous version was will alleviate all the signal/radio/data problems? !?!!?
If so, will downgrading stop me from being able to upgrade in the future?

nope. depending on the version you are going back to you'll mostlikely get an insta notification that 2.3.4 is available for your device, you just got to ignore it until they either fix 2.3.4 or release 2.3.5.

2.3.4 is already out. If they release a new fix it will be 2.3.5.
And what the post above mine says about the updates.
I have also seen tat 2.3.3 also has some issues with 3g. But the post I read up could have been all lies

rentaric, you did not answer the question as to whether downgrading will address the signal issues...

OP:
When you "root" the NS4G, you're just unlocking the Bootloader, then installing SU/recovery....I do believe you can still receive OTA updates. The only time you can't is when you're running a custom ROM.

That's why you make a backup of untouched stock ROM.

Hey man, I returned the phone yesterday, and then bought a replacement(same model, but in order to avoid sprint's one exchange limit) With regards to the battery issue, it most likely is hardware related because the new phone running 2.3.4.(Build GRJ22), charges fully and does not have the so called "protect your battery feature". Also while i was at the Sprint Store, I compared the signal strength of my original Nexus S to an HTC Evo, HTC Evo Shift, and another Nexus S 4g. Oddly enough even in the store(which has signal booster's all over the place. All of the phones where around -76db. I am starting to think it is either a hardware issue or a ****ty baseband version. Most likely hardware. Kind of reminds me of the Samsung Captivate i had with AT&T and the ever so wonderful bug with Odin(Orange/Blue flashing screen of death that turned my investment into a paperweight. Also after running the *#*#4636#*#*, and displaying the Preferred Network Settings, I noticed on all 3 phones tested, all devices would switch from WCDMA, to Uknown, to the best of my understanding the default should be CDMA_Auto PRL. Very Strange, very strange indead......... Samsung needs to invest into quality control, before lawsuits start.

Damn! I am on wifi and charging the phone. I just woke up and picked up the phone and started using it. I've experienced that using the phone after an overnight charge, but not removing it from the charger, will make my battery go up to 98%. I just saw it hit 99 and was like I need to get a screen shot of this. By the time I downloaded and installed something it dropped back down to 98. I've never seen this phone hit 99 before today. If it does it again I am prepared to archive it.

[Q] Reset to stock ROM, nothing works

I had too much trouble installing Infused so I just Odin'd back to the stock.. but nothing really works anymore. When I try installing an app from the market it says "Download was unsuccessful, please try again."
and every once in a while
"Google talk authentication failed"
I can't log into anything with 4g or wifi. What do I do? Will AT&T fix it if I just say everything is deleted because I had too much junk on it and it doesn't really work anymore?
Yes I did the market fix. no work.

wow, that's a problem. I'd try to download the unbrick package again, move everything on the SD cards to the computer, do a factory format HARD RESET by dialing *2768*3855# ( not sure if this is applicable to the infuse but it couldnt hurt to try) and if needed hit the call button, if that doesn't fix it on its own then reflash via Odin with the pit file (not generally needed, ususally if you need to use the pit the phone doesn't boot but use it just in case).

Get the stock-rooted-Froyo rom here:
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...s&txt=Odin_UXKG3_rooted_no_bootloaders_v2.zip
Unzip the zipfile into an empty folder on your desktop
open odin PDA option and select the PDA_UXKG3_rooted_no_bootloaders_v2.tar.md5 file.
remove battery from your phone
depress both volume buttons at the same time don't let em go.
replace the battery and you should see a large yellow triangle on phone
let go of the vol bottons
plug in usb cable
check to be sure that in Odin you see the [COM: ] light up with a number in it.
If all is good, click START on odin.
Try not to move the phone around, put it on the desk.
Let the phone reboot and settle down.
Then the last step is go into settings of the phone and select
privacy then select Factory Data Reset.
The phone should reboot, if not power it off and back on again and you
should be good to go!!!
Good luck!

Going against my better judgement, I'm going to flash the ROM from the guy with 200 posts..
dude what the hell is this? This isn't the infuse ROM..
YOU GINGERBREADED ME WHAT THE HELL there aren't even stock ROMS with gingerbread for the infuse in the US. Where did you get this from?
Whatever you did to get it.. it seems to work pretty well except for the rainbows that are really scary and keep making me think I killed my phone. It boots in literally less than 20 seconds.
Edit: Ugh... no camera........ wtf?
Also, how in the hell did you enable 3g? It's an HSPA+ phone. How the hell does a ROM make a phone 3g when it's HSPA+?
another edit: oh it's rogers...
How did you manage to give me a ROM for the wrong phone dude? Now I have to do all this **** over AGAIN for the 5th god damn time because 300/50 network speed is NOT OK.
Finally back to REAL AT&T stock ROM, working after a factory reset. Dani deserves a bj or something.

the rogers rom is all we got for gb right now. it half works. but i went back to the older infused rom as well. the bootloader situation is getting sorted out but it could take a long time. t appeaes that samsung locked the bootloaders, not ine the motorola sense where they prevent rom flashing but the bootloaders cant easily be changed to the ones needed for 2.3.3.
dont put gtg down for getting this out to the best of his ability. i couldnt do what he did. just realize that he put a beta label on it because he knows its not complete unless you have a rogers phone. and it may stay that way till att releases gb because even with good bootloaders there may still be issues with mhl, not to mention att has more noise cancellation features in settings and the dialer.
you will always see a rom frenzy if a new os version is released. thats just xda, it doesnt mean the new rom is better. i dont think any forum is worse than the captivate section, part of why i spent all this money on a similar phone was the fanboyism for broken roms and kernels and noobism to he point of belligerence. read user experience first, realize they are probably talking it up not down. take critiques more seriously than praise. then you wont feel like you were talked into flashing crap. beleive me it gets worse than it is in this forum.

The only thing that actually started this poopstorm was that AT&T doesn't appear to actually ever be releasing a gb update. Samsung and AT&T are the worst updaters for phones, together they rarely produce anything it seems like.

We will have official gb sometime before Dec. Stop crying about EVERYTHING.

itll be here by the end of the year. dont know why they are so slow but some people think it is to control market values. the captivate will get 2.3 at the same time.yet the i9000 had 2.3 before any other non nexus model phone. the roms are interchangable and the kernels have only a few diffs. the captivate coulda had 2.3 months ago and the infuse coulda been released with it. but it seems att doesnt want to upgrade the captivate to prevent it from devaluing the infuse and doesnt want to upgrade rhe infuse maybe to make the gs2 look better? who knows? Google may get involved. they said all capable devices should see icecream sandwich and that they would work with manufacturers to get the updates out back in janurary. so maybe next year carriers wont play this so much.

I agree, we'll see GB by December knowing att. This it's the last time I buy a phone with out the latest update. I'll probably buy the Hercules coming out on T-Mobile same spec as the infuse but dual core and gb pre install works on att 4G bands. With out the proper bootloaders Rogers Gb infuse will have all sorts of bugs. Hopefully GTG will find a way to flash the bootloaders. Google needs to step in and clean up this mess

I know every one has moved onto bigger better things in this thread, but i thought i'd let you know that this is most likley caused by root promissions not being restored correctly. I would flash using odin, and then run SuperOneClick and press unroot. This should allow for any errors to resolve in the subsystem. I was getting this error all yesterday, and this was the simplest fix for it.
Hopefully that works for you.

[Solution] Touchscreen Response Problems

Symptoms:
- Unlocking Problems.
- Apps launching when you try to swipe.
- Very erratic screen behavior.
Like most of you, I've been tormented by all of the symptoms above since the first week of using the Sensation. I tried everything short of messing with the metals on the back of the phone before I finally found the solution in the SGSII
area.
I have now been using my phone for the last 2 weeks without missing a single touch or swipe. The screen is super sensitive, nay, super SENSATIONAL... Every single touch, swipe, or home spin works the first time. My conclusion, as you'll concur, is that the touchscreen problems are produced by misconfigurations that can be corrected in 5 seconds!!!!!!
Solution
Download the app in the following link from the direct market link, and configure as follows:
1. Select "Super Optimized" from the single drop-down box at the bottom.
2. Set the first 3 sliders to the lowest value by dragging to the leftmost.
3. Drag the last two sliders to the highest value by dragging rightmost.
4. Press the "Apply Changes" button, then yes when prompted.
5. Done.
Note: I haven't yet needed to reapply this once after having done it the first time, nor did I need to use the service mode, nor set again after reboots or shutdowns.
This post was typed entirely on my sensation without any delays or problems.

Not sure if It's a placebo effect but it seems like that helped for me at least.

Seriously, I use to do all kinds of weird things to get the lock ring to unlock, turn the phone side ways, upside down, put it in my left hand, put it in my right hand, which by the way, it seems to favor my left hand...... Now one little tap and bang! Unlocked!
And I've been going crazy trying to find how to "thank you" on the meter thingy and can't. How in sweet baby Jesus is the button to "thank"?

it work for me perfectly!

I'm glad the nightmare is over for you - and everybody else. It's thanks enough to know that one more person is rid of this ridiculous oversight; such a simple fix...no thanks to HTC.
Cheers, mate

I don't know if anyone would believe this. But I was having major problem with the touch sensitivity. It would take at least 5 tries to unlock . Then one day I woke up,and all the touch sensitivity problems are gone. I didn't do anything to the rom, the battery, the charger, or the back case. My phone just healed itself like that. This phone is truly amazing!

I believe it. Its happened that way to a lot of us. It will come back though, give it a week or so unless this thread actually fixes it for an extended amount of time.. If not, and we just have to run this again... that's livable...

Didn't work for me either. Touchscreenbooster didn't make any difference at all. No screen protector.
FWIW My touchscreen issue is 100% reproducible and only happens when the display first turns on (say, when hitting the power button to take it out of standby, or an incoming call). The touchscreen is seriously erratic for 5 or 10 seconds while I scrub my finger all over it. After that, everything drags perfectly and everything works 100%... until the display turns off and I have to do it all over again.
Frustrating!! But at least I can still use the phone. Just makes it difficult to answer incoming calls in time.

I was having these issues and i was ready to take my phone back. I was convinced they were hardware related. And then i flashed "insert coin" rom. It made my touch screen issues go away. I ve been using it for about a week and made my phone at least 3 times faster and my screen is as responsive as it gets. Cheers

Yea that's what I've done as well...I got my sensation when they first came out..about a week in I had a lot of touchscreen issues..they came back from time to time. But when I flashed "insert coin" all the problems went away. And until cm7 drops, I believe insert coin is the best ROM...I've tried at least five different ones.

[Q] Several Issues

Not enjoying my Nexus 5 too much and going back to Nexus 4.
Nexus 5 is set up the exact same way as Nexus 4 but issues.
Bluetooth randomly disconnects.
Phone randomly reboots itself (every couple of hours or so).
HD Widgets on home screen take up to a minute to display on first logon.
None of these issues on Nexus 4.
:crying:
Anyone else getting similar issues?
<edit>
After spending many hours trying to resolve this I have concluded it is a hardware fault.
Main issues were related.
Also HD widget is fine so long as not on default home screen. If it is then it takes while to fully load.
The bluetooth randomly disconnecting (when used with car system) was the device rebooting itself and not a bluetooth issue.
A couple of new issues appeared:
1. Rebooted when I was logged in even after all active apps had been uninstalled (previously it had only rebooted when screen was sleeping).
2. A couple of times now it as shut down completely and refused to start again.
Booting to recovery worked and then booted normally afterwards.
I have factory reset it and still doing the same thing (random reboots mostly when screen is sleeping).
I have found others having the same issues (including one in this forum)
Returning to Google to replace.
</edit>
<edit 2>
Replacement Phone Delivered in less than 30 hours. Thank you Google and Parcel Force.
All apps restored though Titanium Backup and all tested and working well.
Now my Nexus 5 is working properly I am loving it. Fantastic Phone.
</edit 2>

nope, my device is pretty much perfect
HD Widgets not loading quickly is the developer's fault, but the phone's...and if you are getting random reboots, something you've installed is mucking up the system
wait for apps to be 4.4 optimised before complaining about the phone

Going to remove HD widgets from home screen to test.

What???
This is forum and I am writing down my experiences.
I can put down what I want.
And you know it is not the phones fault how? Maybe I have a faulty one?
Now I love nexus and android but fanboy crap like that really annoys me.

When in doubt....factory reset(or clean flash if this is a custom ROM). There are tons of apps on the Play Store that would seem to do no harm but could cause all of these issues.

I dont think that was fanboy crap....seemed like spot on advice....

Fanboy crap or not, the point is valid. If you're having random reboots it is caused by software 99% of the time. Go through the list of apps you've installed and begin uninstalling them one at a time, waiting to see if you're getting reboots in between. Good luck.

Go back to stock with no apps for a day and see if the problem continues. If it does then maybe it's the phone. If not, it was an app. New software always has issues either in itself or working with other apps. Why do people expect it to be perfect?

Yes, thanks, I am aware of how to debug a system be it a PC or a phone.
Blanket statements are no help at all.
I asked if anyone else had similar issues.
Maybe they do and they suspect an app.
I suspected HD widgets but it shut down completely with them disabled.
As sure as you are it is software it could just as likely be hardware.
Seems most likely to do it when it goes to sleep or screen is off.

No need to toss attitude around. If you're aware how to debug, then get it done and tell us what the issue was - you'll probably save someone else who finds this thread from going through the same process.

I AM!
No attitude being tossed around by me.
Just some of the posters here who have nothing better to do so are posting rubbish.
I posted a thread to help with the process.
People making blanket statement that it must be an app. IT is NOT the phone is crap.
It helps no-one and makes them look stupid and wastes time.

I am using HD Widgets (with clock and weather and a second widget with switches) and had not a single unwanted reboot or other issues with my phone and I am playing around since monday morning.

Seem to be when the screen is off that it reboots.
I have display set to sleep after 10 minutes of activity.
I have set security et to automatically lock after 5 minutes of sleep.
I have it set so the power button does *not* instantly lock.
If I click power button to shut off screen it auto reboots within 3 minutes of doing so.
So it does not appear that it is the sleep process that is causing the reboot.
Going to time this.

Very helpful. Thanks.
Exactly as I was using it.
As an aside, do you have them on the home screen.
If so have you noticed any delay in them appearing when logging in (egg timer)?

I have the clock and weather widget on my homescreen (not lockscreen) and after a reboot it takes a little time to initialize as on my Desire HD before (but much faster now). After turning on the screen, it's just there as it should be. Btw: using Nova Launcher, because I like it and bought it.

You may not like their suggestion but that doesn't make it invalid. If you REALLY want to get to the bottom of whether this is hardware or software do a factory reset and leave it stock for a few hours. Question answered.

I've only had one issue, hangout force closed within 15 mins of the phone being on. Nothing since.

It is not that I do not like the suggestion.
I am prepared for the long haul to find the solution and I will find it.
But Jumping to assumptions that is is the software and stating that is is something I installed that is mucking up the system is of no help.
Then to state I should wait until apps are 4.4 optimised before I complain adds further insult.
This si close to fanboy talk and pisses me off.
I am factual and do not assume anything.
If someone has nothing of value to say then keep it zipped. Simple.
