[Q] Random Reboots and ICS

I just got a Xoom and have been getting constant random reboots. I can't repeat exactly what is causing it; it seems to be mostly random - e.g. web browsing, reading a PDF, browsing the market, etc. I've tried to do a factory hard reset twice already, but still get the random rebooting. Sometimes it will do a full reboot where I see the Motorola logo and other times it will sort of do a half-reboot and I only see the boot animation video and not the Motorola logo. I'm not quite sure what else to try

From what I personally understand and have experienced from several ICS roms including the stock one, as well as on my DINC, so i think this might be a common issue with ICS.
Personally I think it has to do with the rendering system being unstable and creating a loop in the program as it mainly seems to happen when the device is trying to render something. Such as new content on a webpage, new page in a PDF, transition effects, etc.
Certain applications seem to do it more often than others though, so I am not sure about this until I log the activity during these events.
The two types of reboots you are getting are a hard reset and soft reset
A hard reset completely turns off the device then turns it back up, showing you the Motorola symbol.
A soft reset only restarts the android framework, reloading files the operating system uses.
Unfortunately I personally do not know how to stop these at the moment, I just wanted to let people know this is not a singular case. Ill be looking for a fix as well and if I find one I will make sure you know about it DarkMuck

I've just upgraded my Xoom from HC 3.2 which never rebooted.
Rooted, flash CWM, and then loaded the latest ICS #45 with GAPPS.
Since then i have noticed that when i disable Wifi and go onto 3G, i get random reboots. If i leave Wifi on, so far i haven't experienced a reboot.
More specifically when on 3G when the phone goes to sleep after 1Min, it will then do the random reboot.
Are you running 3G or wifi ?

[Q] Screen lags.

Hi, I have problems with my HTC Senastion screen:
from time to time it freezes and nothing can be done about that. I can still use "normal buttons", but nothing more. After some time it just "unfreezes" and everything is like normal.
Can this be due to overclocked GPU?
Also, I have discovered that it appears randomly after reboots: sometimes after reboot I experience this issue, sometimes not.
EDIT: Hmm, as I see, only some parts of UI are lagging. For example status bar is working ok (no always but still). Moreover, the buttons like: home, menu also are not responding.

Which launcher do you use?

Nova luncher.

Never happened to me,
your problem seems to be an Hardware issue..
you can try to restore your sensation with the Stock RUU and send it back to htc

I had this problem using an overclocked kernel. Reverting back to the stock 3.32.401.5 kernel fixed the random freezing and reboots.
I'm now using SebastianFM's 1.4.1 overclocked kernel and things have been fine. No random reboots or freezing/lag.

Having random freezes/reboots

For the week or so, I've had numerous occasions when the phone stops responding and then either reboots on its own, or I have to pull and re-insert the battery to make is work. Sometimes, the phone start working but HTC Sense restarts.
Also, I've noticed that this only happens when I press the home button while on a resource heavy application, such as a game or firefox. However, most of the time these applications close without a hitch.
I'm pretty sure it's not a ROM related issue because I updated to the latest version of Elegancia Blitz when it was first made available (August 11th) and didn't have any issues until recently.
Can someone tell me the possible cause and solution for this?

I experienced similar issue since updated my Sensation to firm 3.33 and rom Android revolution HD . If I use the phone with some games or web browser it overheats and touch screen fail. I have to put it standby to restore touch function. I have downgraded it to 3.32 and installed Blitz rom but issue don't dissapear so I supose is not a Rom issue as you say. I think is a problem with firm 3.33 but I don't know how to solve it.

Revelation Rom random reboots

Hi, I have a problem with random reboots on Revelation Rom. I already know some users have already reported some issues with it. Full reboots are totaly random, they happen when i dont use the phone (sleep), when i try to unlock it, or doing anything like typing a message, using web browser, etc. Ofcourse i did a full wipe befeore install, installed rom with default settings, i also didn't restore any apps, or something.
This is my last_kmsg from last reboot, i hope it will help SebastianFM to solve the problem (i believe there is one, other roms work like they should and i think i also do everythig like i should during install and after).
Can't post it in dev sectcion due to 10 posts restrictions.
Cheers.

Use 1188 mhz max cpu frequency, no cpu control software, I don't have reboots.

I have already tried to set 1188, 1296 and 1512 during install, all options gave me the same results, so i think it is not realted to CPU max freq.

I don't know if we have the same problem, I have my sensation turning off randomly for no reason what so ever. The weird thing is when it is plugged in, it doesn't turn it self off. I already brought a new battery so shouldn't be that. I also tried putting some paper in the battery section in case there was a lose connection. Played around with software, got nothing changing ROM, changing CPU freq, changing radio... nothing helps. I think mine problems are random reboots + shutdown, so it is not all ways the case it has rebooted. But when it does do the random reboot, it is often when I am trying to wake the device. I have no idea when it shuts down since when I try to wake it, it was shut down. Then I had to hold the power button to turn it on. Lastly, I think i get mostly shutdown.

Well, i don't know what is causing your problem. If you change between different roms/kernels/firmwares/radios/etc. and problem always exist, it can be hardware related.
Mine only appears on Revelation rom, and i always get the full reboot (no soft reboots or shutdowns).

These reboots are caused by kernel 3.4.10, not ROM, so we may continue this discussion on my kernel related thread. Reboots occurs only on few devices. I received many kernel logs, but I didn't find the reason, errors are different for each user.

The 12th day on the Revelation ROM and not a single reboot.
Also writing here due to the 10 post's rule eek
Will go back to the Revelation thread after this post because I really like the SebastiamFM's work and I have none of there mantioned problems (maybe one or two).
I was havign problems on the begining thoe... i couldnt startt the phone. It rebooted when I had to insert the PIN code or before the Sense even managed to load. Then I formated everything (including the SD card) to eliminate any "remains" of previous ROM's and i set the GPU on 300 and the MAX freq to 1520 and from than till now not a single lag.

Try using performance governer instead of ondemand.
Happy to help.

You could try reseating the battery or securing it a bit tighter, some users have reported reboots because of the battery being somewhat 'loose'.

[Q] Phone getting stuck and crashing while installing apps, why?

So I've been having tons of fun with my Sensation ever since I got it, and I installed AOKP 4.2.2 + Sultan Kernel r24.5, with all recommended settings aside from cpu speed which is at Sensation XE speed and undervolting is at recommended levels.
However, I've been getting this issue of everytime I'm installing apps, the phone hangs and just gets stuck until I take out the battery and turn it on again. This ONLY happens when installling apps, and hasn't happened with ANYTHING else. Any ideas? Kinda in a rut.
