So I have Nexus S and this doesn't happen a lot but about every month or so my phone just reboots itself. I know why this happens, but I wanna know If I can prevent it...
I know this sounds stupid but I am hoping that I can prevent it... I'm not rooted or anything so I can't do anything that has anything with rooting.
Thanks

More often then not it has to do with some sort of memory leak, and your ram bleeds out so the phone reboots. Can be caused by almost anything, system apps, user apps etc. Also, how long is your uptime on your phone? The longer its on typically the lower the available resources.

Um not mor than like 2 weeks... Also when my Nexus S booted up, it randomly rebooted itself again which was kinda weird... Any suggestions?

I suggest you to wipe everything in CWM and reflash the stock rom.

You think that's the only way? First of all I have terrible experience with wiping and such, so I don't wanna go that far... Can you please think of something else?

Leave it alone. You're much better than anyone else here who has this happening almost every day LOL
I suggest rebooting every week or so just for the sake of preventing it. But no matter what you do you'll get a reboot eventually. Maybe get an app that forces a reboot at night everyday. But seriously if you have an up time of 2 weeks than that's very good
i generally try to reboot manually once daily, it keeps the phone speedy and gremlin free
Thanks everyone! I was worried that I have to wipe my phone! I'm glad that there's nothing wrong with my phone!

Its definitely not a problem with your phone! I would suggest actually rebooting everyday or week rather then preventing them though.
Happy new year to you!

im running ordroid 9.0.0 and i get this freak error my device reboot many times and dont stop until i remove the battery and i hate it cuz its reboot during a phone call or when browsing ive done so many thing to prevent this problem but no use any help ???
ps.ive done full wipe thing and dont tell me to reflash it cuz ive already dont it
Very strange that never happened to me while running ordroid . However I just had it happen to me ruining Aokp. I also needed to pull battery for it to boot. Strange because ordroid never gave me any problems like that! I wish I had the answer. IM going to strat maintence rebooting my device daily and see if that helps. Its reconvened we do that anyway. I wish I had a clear answer for you but all I know is my device just did the exact same thing with aokp rom. Hopefully we can get some answers. best of luck to you. Mine only did it once and its not a continuing continuing thing like yours. I hope you get the issue resolved. I'll be watching the thread for answers. Good luck!

Some people noted a battery problem which might cause similar effect. Either a problem with the battery itself, or it is not sitting right in its socket, somewhat loose.
What battery are you on btw?

Check to see if your battery is lose and if it is this is your issue. This can be fixed by putting a small piece of paper onthe battery area to stabilized it. This is not my issue but it could be your s . If the battery wiggles chances are thats the problem.

I know a ton of people are having issues with some of the more recent version of this FM but my problem is a little different. When I go to wake my screen it immediately shuts back off. I'm not sure what the cause might be but its quite frustrating considering it is the only issue I've encountered so far. This can happen multiple times in a row before it decides to finally stay on. Any ideas what might be the cause? I even wiped to make sure it wasn't an app but it still persists. If it helps at all I am on CM version 10-20120815-UNOFFICIAL-ville. If you guys need any other info I'd be more than happy to provide it.

You should consider flashing the latest nightly and see if the problem still occurs. I am running the latest nightly as my daily driver and have no problems at all beside minor wakelocks

Whoa yeah agree with above post. You're on a build that is over a month old and isn't even an official release. Download the newest build from here http://get.cm/?device=ville . You should be able to flash right over your existing rom without losing data, just wipe cache and dalvik cache after you flash. There are many, many improvements since the build you are currently running.
Thanks for the tip guys. I downloaded the latest ROM to my phone some reason I still have the same issue. I'm not really sure what's going on now I did a wipe but that didn't seem to help last time. You guys think an app caused this or is it hardware? I recall something similar happening back on my old phone when I used to mess with the processor speed.

Have you messed around with the screen brightness and accidentally set lowest brightness to 0 ?
I once did that....
I wish that was all but sadly I have no clue what the issue is.

So I am trying to fix my wife's phone. She keeps getting random reboots. It started on stock. I rooted and flashed a couple of different roms and the problem persists. Thanks to qkster I managed to copy 2 last_kmsg logs from the last 2 reboots. The first one I was listening to Pandora and halfway through the song the phone rebooted. The second one I had just sent a text and turned the screen off. Couple minutes later it wouldn't come back on as if it was completely off.
I tried going to jb over the weekend (phone was screwing up anyway so I figured what the hell) but lost my imei. So went back to stock. Fully wiped everything. Flashed mg's infinitum ics since out of all the roms I've tried that one runs the best. Been on it 3 days now.
In my completely uneducated opinion the reboots are caused by some kind of memory issue.
I'm sure it's hardware related and was just wondering if someone with a larger IQ than me could give me an idea of how to fix it. I'm 7 months away from an upgrade.
I've looked at the battery to make sure the connecters were clean and nothing was broken.
Thanks for whatever help anyone can give.

Looks like it could be a problem with your audio/dac - that would be my take, anyway. That's what all this stuff is about: unable to get clock pcm, wm8994_samsung.c (wm8994_resume,3961) ]. wm8994 is the Wolfson DAC in the Infuse. PCM Out of curiosity, have you tried VoodooSound? I wonder if the anti-jitter setting would make a difference...
I am not an expert - just curious!
I never tried to use voodoo. Never even looked into it. I will look into that though. Thanks.
Edit - I'm running a cm9 base rom. Infinitum. Isn't voodoo automatically on in cm9?

lol! Sorry, it's been a long day: Voodoo Sound (link to Play Store app)

No reboots since I added voodoo sound. You may be eligible for genius status. Upgraded to jellybean to really push the phone. Will let you know.
Thanks so much!

It is an odd problem to have. Normally, people use VS to take advantage of the Wolfson chip. If it works, great! One little thing I might mention - a kind of odd behavior with VS in JB - Even if you don't use the bass boost, VS seem to limit the output volume. All you have to do is click Bass Boost (not enable or anything, just open the menu setting) and the sound gates open. This does not happen if you enable Smart Amplifier btw.
Things seem to be a bit better with voodoo sound. Been on pa jellybean for a couple days now. 1 reboot but I couldn't get a last kmsg.
Thanks for helping me!

Spoke too soon. Tried playing a game and when I exited everything was frozen. Uploaded a new last_kmsg. Didn't see anything like the first one though.

These problems can also be related to particular apps. The problem you describe on Oct 8 is pretty common. You might try increasing your dalvik cache size if your phone freezes after using certain intensive apps. To do this, you need to edit your build.prop Look around for suggestions on best settings.
Thanks for the help. I've made my way to jb and using zram. Thought that might help. Will look into dalvik cache. I have tried googling phrases from the kmsg but I don't have the basic understanding i guess. Again I appreciate your time and suggestions

Well, in the last one there's something going on with your touchscreen. Have you ever overclocked this phone? Have you noticed that it gets hot? Honestly, if you were playing a game for an extended period of time, it would get hot anyway. I'm guessing there is/was a heat issue...
I actually went to flash the oc kernel for the cm10 when I got to jb but kept boot looping. So I never got oc running. The last message I posted was the third time in a row the phone rebooted. I was reading the kmsg from the second reboot when it rebooted. Weird.
But no its not getting hot. It kept saying something about the USB probe or something. I figured its something with my charger/USB port.

Sorry, what kept saying something about the USB probe? Internal components also use USB. It's not just the port.
I'm sorry. I must have misread it. It said ta probe. And then calibration. I don't know. I'm pretty sure the phone has a hardware issue and will try to keep it together long enough to upgrade. Though it may be placebo I think voodoo sound does help a little bit.
Thanks again.

I've been dealing with random reboots now for a long time. With all this "stable" talk for JB roms I'm starting to wonder if it is just my phone.
I have ran many roms:
Slim Bean
All paranoid aspects of JB
CM10
sky JB
brickbeatz
Every single one the same. Multiple reboots or SOD's everyday at least 2 or 3. And if I'm using the phone extensively this amount could double maybe even triple. Is this normal? Is this something that other people are experiencing?
I have followed all install instructions including changing recoveries if requested by the install (big fan of TWRP but a lot of roms swear by sk8t's CWM)
I have odin'd back to uclf6 took the ota - formatted internal and external SD and is still happening no matter what rom I use.
When I was on ICS for a little I dig get a notification from time to time saying something to the extent of "battery disconnected" or "battery temp too high" and this is what made me start thinking that maybe this is a phone issue.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? This is my second Skyrocket. First was replaced by warranty because it started just rebooting consistently (may have been a stuck button, but I didn't worry about it).
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. I do search, and I have tried pretty much everything I have found. Now I'm just frustrated looking for help.
Reboots are not normal with any of the roms you've tried. I've tried a number of roms and haven't experienced any reboots. Sounds like a hardware issue, but others may have different advice.

I've had 2 soft reboots since reinstalling Slim 3.1 (from stock ICS), but that's it. Some ROMs I've tried in the past seemed to have them more often than others, but I haven't been able to nail down exactly why that happens.
Most of them these days are fairly solid and shouldn't be rebooting, especially not as often as you are experiencing. Have you installed a custom kernel? Are you OC/UV? Do you have BBS installed to see if something is preventing deep sleep?

Two soft reboots are not bad, but the amount that I have had is way moer than that. I know that some roms are going to be different than others thats why I tried multiple to see.
I don't have better battery stats installed because battery loss isn't really my issue. I have decent battery life (other than the fact that the SOD's and reboots seem to kill 7-10 percent every time they happen. I also never oc/uv always leave stock..
Would BBS tell me what is causing the reboots?
Thanks for both of your inputs.
You had some high battery temp issues. Is your device still running hot? That would cause a reboot. Liquidzoo, you had hot battery issue, could this be similar to what you where experiencing?

The high battery temp issues came about right after I odin'd, but that was telling me these things in which I'm not sure that CM10 has a pop up for notification on these things.
It doesn't but how does the device feel? Does it feel hot. If it gets too hot the phone will shut itself down and reboot

Yes the device feels abnormally hot all the time
That's most likely why it's rebooting. Now all we have to do is figure out why it's hot. Liquid zoo had similar issues and I think he brought it all the way back to stock to remove some wake locks.
Liquidzoo , any thoughts?

My guess is the temperature is causing the reboots.
Install Better Battery Stats and look at the CPU States. It could very well be that something is preventing deep sleep, which in turn would cause heat and heat would cause shutdown.

I experienced the same thing with my SR. I called up AT&T customer care and told them that this was unacceptable. After a while they sent me a new SGS III. It is most commonly a HW issue, which is what I was experiencing. I explained that to them, and that is what lead them to send me the GS III

The problem is I work in the call center atmosphere and I just can't bring myself to call in and be an asshole. It is unacceptable and I definitely should call them to talk to them about it, but I doubt I will get as far as you. I will also post some BBS dump after it has time to gather some information.
