Hello,
I have been having an issue with my droid charge randomly restarting itself. I installed PBJT Kernal, and Gummy Charged with no issues. As soon as I updated to Gummy 1.8 my phone resets itself shortly after I boot up EVERY time. It hangs at the Droid boot up screen for about 5 or 10 minutes, and then seems to work fine until I restart it, or switch my battery. Once I do that it does a reset once again shortly after boot. Am I the only one having this issue? Also my phone seems to drop data services, and never picks them up again until I restart. (This is a bad thing as well because well.. After I restart the previous problem happens again.
It's a vicious cycle, and I have exhausted my resources trying to figure out what's wrong.
- Yes I have re installed The Kernel and ROM
- Yes I have wiped it completely back to factory, and re installed.
- Yes I have tried other ROM's and it STILL resets
Can anyone help me?
Thank you.
Do not Post Questions or Problems in the Development Forum
I haven't had the exact problems you have had nor to anything that extreme. I am running GummyCharged 1.8.1 with PBJT nonOC and midnight blue theme. I have restored my phone to original stock settings and have reflashed all the mods back on it.
My problem is random restarts. Doesn't happen often but it does happen. Out of nowhere my phone will restart. Idle or using an app.
I have also had to restart my phone to obtain 4G, this has only happened once though.
I am unable to switch between glass and puzzle lock screen no matter which option i have selected in settings. It stays on the glass screen.
I have read (on these forums) that people had gotten defective phones with issues like random reboots/losing 4g and having to restart the phone to get it back/lag/etc.
A simple reset to stock, trip to the store and the phone was replaced, most of the time problems like these are just your phone.
I was having the restart issue when I installed the reboot options that included recovery and such. Running gummy 1.7.5
After I got rid of it. That issue went away.
Then I installed gummy 1.8.5 which includes that mod. Had the same issue again.
I reverted back to gummy 1.7.5 with pbj kernel and nitros honeycomb theme. It all seems stable now.
But like the other post says...it may be your phone.
Hope this helps

Hey guys,
I flashed Cognition 2.3b, and also flashed the update, and I am having a couple of issues, and was wondering if anyone could shed some light.
The first issue is that my battery seems to be draining really fast. I unhooked my phone from the charger at 2:00pm this afternoon, and by the time I got to work a little after three, it had already gone down 10% with very little use.
The other issue is that the auto suggestions are not working on the android or samsung keyboards, and the tap space twice to insert a period is not working either, even though the option is checked in the settings. Can anyone offer any insight or suggestions? Please keep in mind I am a noob with roms.
First post this in the Cognition thread. Did you flash on a full charge? Recalibrate your battery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765656. Post your other issues in the thread so you can get help there.
Cognition v2.3 Unlocked Samsung Captivate on TMobile
This weekend I installed Cognition v2.3 via ROM Manager on my Samsung Captivate running Eclair 2.1 update1. Once the install was completed and the device booted, every 30 seconds or so my device would vibrate and then be followed by a force close. I also noticed that I would appear to have no radio signal around the same time.
Obviously I did a factory reset which did not help, so I did a reinstall of Cognition v2.3. This time it was fine!! No vibrating and no force closes for a few hours, that is until I realized that I had actually not had my sim in and was on wifi. As soon as I inserted my TMobile simcard back into my device, all the vibrating and force closes started right back up.
Needless to say I am back on 2.1 update1 and hoping some can shed light on this strange issue.

I encountered this same issue when i first upgraded to v2.3b3. In the Cognition thread people suggested installing v2.3b2 first and then installing v2.3b3. This is what I did and it worked flawlessly.
Where to get 2.3b2? I looked at main site, didn't find a "older versions" link.
Thanks.
I am currently running 2.3b2. Thats weird. I may have to master clear and flash back to stock with Odin.

My Motorola Triumph keeps randomly rebooting and the battery goes from 90% to 7% suddenly sometimes. I had the phone for a week so far and the frequence of restarts is increasing. I don't have any task killer app.
Is it some software that I am using or it's a hardware issue? Do you think I should have the phone replaced by Virgin Mobile?

Try charging it all the way and using cwm to wipe the battery stats. That should fix the battery drain. The reboots I would try wiping Dalvik, cache, and last first data if the first 2 wipes don't help at all.

I just figured out the problem has to do with wifi. When I turn it off and use 3G instead the mobile becomes stable (so far). Is anyone facing the same problem or it's just me? Is there a fix?
Does it have a custom ROM on it? I've seen around the forums that there has been issues with the MT and wifi on the ROMs

No. But the frequency of the reboots increased after I re-installed the original MT stock ROM.
When I first bough the device it restarted once or twice a day. Now it reboots non stop unless I take out the battery. I re-installed the stock ROM from another source but the problem persisted. The problem goes away when I turn off wifi abut comes back when I turn it on.
Sounds like something to do with the kernel, not the ROM... maybe. I had horrible luck with any and all custom kernels for a long while. Although that's just my luck, might not be yours...
Looks like you had a problem from the beginning... Try everything stock, and if it's still there, return it... Wow my first post in years...
I know someone who had the same problem..
switched to the iPhone 4s...
Same here...
Me too...
I have this problem as well. I am going to try the CM7 mod to see if that goes away. I have also isolated it to WiFi.
Problem solved!

Wohooooooooooooo The problem DOES go away with CM7 beta 8 !!!! It's like magic!
Phone no longer reboots randomly
Wifi is stable and does not disconnect or cause the phone to reboot or the battery to heat up
And battery life improved 300%!!! I now charge it every other day with moderate 3g/wifi usage!
I had CM7 for three weeks so far and my frustration turned into happiness! It's just amazing how changing the software makes a HUGE difference!! Before CM7 I always felt like smashing my MT because of the hard time it gave me!
I followed the instructions on: http://www.motorolatriumphhacks.com/

as far as ive seen with both cm7 and cm9, random reboots houldnt be an issue anymore, but for other still having the issue it usually comes from about 4 things over the rest
1. faulty hardware, which normally isnt the case, if faulty hardware was the issue you'd probly be seeing more then random reboots, but its still possible
2. Rom didn't take correctly during flash, either by chance, or because the phone wasent properly cleared and now settings are "head butting"
3. Running a custom rom in which you can adjust the cpu and the settings are either to low or to high, both can cause reboots
4. Most common one ive seen by far outta them all, Apps, certain apps especially after some updates will "play tricks" on the device and for some reason cause reboots sometimes, usually the next update of said app will resolve the issue but not always, so if you find an app thats the culprit you can notify that apps developer
you can always try and go back to 100% stock and see if the issue is still there but if your like me you probly hate the stock froyo by now lol
It may seem painful or whatnot but unless you find exactly what may be causing the reboots the best bet overall would be
Do a complete Fresh install of whatever rom you use, dont flash anything besides the rom and gapps if needed, also dont restore any backups yet, just to be sure
Once the fresh new rom is booted i turn the phone off then back on for safe measures lol
Now if you can lol try running the phone with No aftermarket apps besides any/if any that came on the rom, if the problem is gone you know for sure here that it was one of your apps
then 1 by 1 install your apps and give it some time in between app installs to see if the problem comes back and hopefully this way if it does youll know which app is causing troubles
FAQ
To quote directly from my FAQ,
"Reboots on Android are a pain, and can be attributed to multiple sources. I’ve been able to successfully reduce the amount of reboots that I get, but never eliminate them… Anyhow, here’s some troubleshooting information:
1. Format SD card in Windows (back up your SD card data first!) Make sure you format to FAT32. Don’t try formatting it in Linux. I have done this before and the phone wouldn’t boot up!
2. Slightly overclocking prevents some freezes.
Under Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Performance overclock the max speed to around 1300-1400ish. This should speed the phone up, but not to the point of the thing overheating
3. Fix SD Card permissions. Do this by booting into Recovery (You can do that if you have this ROM installed) and go to advanced > Fix SD card permissions. Now reboot.
4. Do not use Firefox, except the Nightly builds. Firefox has went through drastic speed and performance improvements recently, but the older builds, despite being called stable, are so slow, they will make the phone freeze and reboot. Yes, this includes Aurora. UPDATE: All Firefox versions except stable (ironic, eh?) have been used by me personally and have not made my phone reboot. Make sure you’re on at least version 14. (This one doesn't apply as much anymore, I need to update my FAQ!)
5. Give the phone a break from time to time. After intensive gaming for hours on end, the phone will often reboot while exiting a game.
That’s all the tips I have. I managed to drastically reduce my reboots by doing these, but not eliminate them completely. I hope g60madman or mantera find some hidden timeout value in the kernel (if one exists, like the auto reboot on BSOD in Windows) and either lengthens the timeout value or disables automatic rebooting so if this is a kernel panic, we may see the debugging details and upload them to fix some crashes.
6. Make sure that you have the VM heap size set to be adequate enough. I recommend at least 24 MB, preferably anywhere from 32 MB and up if you want the phone to last a while without rebooting.
7. Sometimes a cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe are needed to stop bootloops. Unfortunately, every once in a while, you may start getting bootloops. This usually due to some sort of corruption in the cache or dalvik cache. You can safely clear them through Clockworkmod Recovery without loosing any data, and this usually fixes the problem. If not, do a factory reset through Clockworkmod Recovery and reinstall this ROM."
I done several different searches and can't seem to find an answer.
Well, first off, I am not a newb to Android but am a little new to this phone.
Ok, well, I originaly rooted my phone and was using Stock FW for the longest and never had any issues. Then I decided to run a Gingerbread rom to see if I would like it. Used it on Infused GB for about a week and never had any issues but due to work and the use of BT I decided to swap back to a Froyo rom so I could have full use of BT. So I installed Infused 1.6.0 and ever since have had no issues.
Well, I decided to give MIUI a shot and installed that rom. Now my issues started. After I installed MIUI I would get very frequent and Random freezes on my phone that would require a battery pull. I enitialy thought it was a bad flash. So I Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik and reflashed, well the problem still persisted.
I decided to do few tests to see if I could determine what was causing it. But when I say its random, its random as ****. The only thing that is persistent is it only does it when my screen is off. I read somewhere that a CPU OC program could cause this but I do not have one installed or anything to that nature. never had as matter of fact.
After many hours of trying to fix the issue I was having with MIUI I decided to go back to Infused 1.6, however. Again, Wiped everything and flashed Infused back and guess what, I am still having this problem and its beginning to give me a headache.
Steps I have taken so far.
Wiped Data - Cache - Dalvik Cache
Fresh Flash
ODIN back to stock and started over.
Thought it was possibly a corrupt Kernal install so changed that around.
After all of the above, I am still experiencing random phone freezes after the screen turns off and I have to pull the battery to get the phone to respond.
Any suggestions.
I'm not a developer so I dont have any advice; however have you looked in the MIUI Q&A thread? And if so, why not try posting there?
Also, bump. Because I haven't had this happen, doesn't mean it won't happen and it'd be nice to get an answer. :-D

I looked in the MIUI Q&A but its not an issue with just MIUI, its happening with any rom I flash. I am not sure what borked on my phone but its quite annoying.
Are you restoring anything using TiBu when moving between ROMs? Make sure you don't restore any system data. And try without restoring any apps at all. Could be a case of some random app that's freezing up the phone.

I was using the Facebook app yesterday when it locked up my phone. It was still on, but it didn't respond. I had to pull the battery, but when I turned on the phone, all my data on the phone was wiped.
The phone immediately started to FC. Smart Keyboard, Go Launcher, etc. It brought me to the screen to add my Google account.
I was wondering if this has ever happened to anyone. I found it really annoying that it happened on the one day when I needed the phone at most and even fixing permissions didn't work. Reflashing the ROM was a temporary solution as the stock SMS app kept on crashing (no idea how that happened). In the end I decided to go back to stock + root.
Yes I have. Only one time about two weeks ago.
Have no idea why. Was not tinkering. Had not changed/added apps or other around the time it happened. Just went to look at it and it had factory reset itself.
When it happened I was on VB, LZ, AntonX first BLN kernel and undervolted with DSexton's values.
I had it happen once a few months ago. I rebooted and when it powered up it went to the setup screen and was just like I factory reset it. I was on icbinb.

Ive had similar things happen. Two days ago my phone went nuts after a app updated. Not sure which one did it I had several that were showing updates.
Logsprovider and another that I dont remember were continuosly force closing. I booted into recovery, used the recovery file manager renamed the two apps as .bak, rebooted the system. Backed up texts and calls then reinstalled the rom.
Did any of you do a full cwm restore prior to this? Had any of you been experiencing random reboots prior to this? I know a couple of you started what ROM, but lumin started what kernel and tweaks he had. Can the rest of you provide that info? I'm looking for a commonality add i have experienced this as well once upon a time. I was on vb, lightning zap, and Brians kj6 rc2 when it happened to me. Now I'm on miui with Antonx test 3 kernel and I'm getting random soft reboots with the phone freezing up before hand. It might be an app issue though. But let's look at the basics first.
Sent from my BAMF SGH-T959V!
it's happened, but only when I was on KF2, back in the early GB Leak days.
The rom was really unstable.
Also, I had modded
thomas for me I was on VB-FB using the latest antonx kernel. I dont remember using any tweaks other than what is in the rom.
I was getting soft reboots until I removed bln. I think my problem was related to scramble with friends. I havent reinstalled it and no issues so far.
@ Thomas, I don't recall all that info. I want to say just icbinb with bhudvens original kernel (only kernel I used before I started using Anton's). I may have swapped a few system apps from various ROMs, but I know I wasn't having any issues unless you count a reboot about once every 5 days.

I had this happen once. Was running MIUI from Erik, release 0.2, and AntonX 1b3 kernel. I think it may actually have to do with an app as well, I too was running Scramble with Friends when my phone randomly rebooted and everything started force closing and looked like a fresh install of MIUI going crazy.
Just in case it may be related:

Happened to me twice on vb-fb and twice on MIUI. I switched back to a backup i had of vb final fixed and haven had a problem. I was using Antonx's kernel when it happened but I'm using it for vb final now and haven't had issues. I did notice at least 2 of those times it happened an app was updating. I want to say it was Facebook updating one of those times.

Theoretically things like that may happen if you use tweaks that completely remove journaling from the file system and fsync from sqlite. Files and databases can be damaged too easily if for any reason the system reboots without proper shutdown. Not sure if VB has those tweaks though.

Battery pulls while the phone is froze and letting your battery die while using will both cause this to happen...
Pulling the battery is like taking a thumb drove off usb while its R/W. you're cutting the power to the NAND flash and causing a discharge... No bueno! You wouldn't yank your PC 's power out of the wall because Windows froze; would you?
No, just like a PC, if you hold down the power button on your phone it will shutdown, and our phone will actually reboot when the power button is held down for 5 - 10 seconds.
The only time I've had this problem is after doing battery pull or having the battery die while in use. The funny thing is that it won't do after first booting the phone but on the next boot :-/ I'm still about 90 percent sure that interrupting power while a R/W is being done is the problem in most cases, especially since most reported that it happened after a battery pull...

Phone rebooted a couple of nights ago just before plugging in my headphones. It was still in a sleep state. Just woke up and rebooted. Afterwards I had force closes on everything including my launchers.
Forced a reboot into recovery, fixed permissions, and the phone booted properly. Just about all my apps were gone though. Very strange.
Running that crazy sweet scom4.4 with Antons 1.1.0 kernel. KD1 modem.
Of course I modified it to my looking, but that's the base software.
Edit: titanium restored everything back to it's proper state. Good thing I had a fresh backup. Others might not be so lucky.

So after using the One Click Back to Stock + root for 2 months, I did not experience the phone losing the data. Even if the phone locked up and I had to pull the battery, everything was still there after the reboot. I did not get any FC or missing apps.
I'd hate to say it is something with the custom ROMs. I even get better battery life with the stock ROM.

MY wifes sgs 4g is having really wierd reboot issues. i Used to have this phone and never had probs with val black but i left the val black on my wifes phone and its been just rebooting a lot. i went ahead and did fb ext4 starter again and also ran into the same issues with val blackFB251, icbinb and unnamed. Stayed with valblackFB and FC reboot the phone shows 1% battery (after charging all nite) after a reboot it will return to normal. getting FC's on email ,titanium and others on start up. when it does run wthout FC's apps disappear. I havent had MY 4g in a while but i never ran into issues like this and was wondering if anything crazy different has happened in the last 3 months that would cause these issues.
Currently phone is running Valblack FB and running basic with a twist 1.1.3 blue cwm. Same issues. And i have tried teh heimdall one click and fbext4 starter guide and no change. I appreciate any help or suggestions have ran through the forums and found similar posts but nothing in those posts have helped to solve the prob.
Try the steps in the Gremlin Remover thread. It has helped several people.
Tried one click gremlin remover including wiping sd and callibrating battery i didnt flash a custom rather just using the stock that comes in the one click and still experiencing same issues. Reboot when using browser then shows battery at 1% and now weve noticed the voice volume is very low now. I think the volume is a stock rom issue but the rest are same issues as before. Going to just flash back to stock and take it in if theres no other options or ideas as to what the problem could be.
Man, that's really weird stuff. Outside of performing a hard reset on the phone (I used GPS AIDS for this, but I'm sure there are other ways) I'd one-click it back to stock and take it back to the store. Might be buggy hardware.
SD card may be going bad. Try backing up all data from it and reformat.
