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/

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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 have had this problem since it asked to update the other day so i let it update. And ever since that i can use it no problem but as soon as i leave it idle on the table or my pocket i hear the start up tone. I pull my phone out my pocket or of the table it has restarted.
I mean i can use it as long as i want not a problem but as soon as i leave it alone it keeps rebooting by it self a few times then stops until i next use it and put it away.
Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me..

try another rom, or first try to clean the cache

I am running on v10J Australian Optus Stock, I have excactly the same problem as you, I have my wifi on always and that made it worse, I have read that by deleting the Cache and delvic cache that would fix the problem, I have done that last night by installing rom manager and did it that way, been 1 hour so far since I unplugged it from the charger and no reboots, yesterday it was rebooting nearly 3 times an hour. Also I downloaded an app called CPU Spy, it tells you the speed history of your CPU, I tried setcpu to stop the cpu dropping below 600 mhz thinking maybe that is the reason of the reboots, the thing is although I have setcpu on hotplug and never to go below 600 mhz, cpu spy is still reporting the cpu dropping to 300 mhz.
will post an update to tell if clearing the cache and delvic cache have fixed my problem.

Go to Settings/Wireless & Networks/Wi Fi Settings/Advanced (hit menu button)/Wi Fi Sleep Policy then change to "When screen turns off ".
That should stop the rebooting.

Unmount external SD card, remove it, then reboot. It's a workaround rather than a fix (as you're stuck with the 8GB internal storage), but I've had no reboots since doing this, compared to one every 2-3 hours on v10k before.

Well I had the same problem and had sent the phone to service. They changed the mainboard but the problem remained. This is an external sd issue as it happens only when there is an external card mounted. Now sent the phone for the second time indicating more details on the micorosd issue. Hopefully they will change it completely with a new one.

I removed the external card.. so i thought i'd format the internal one it says damaged internal card but it still works weird i think your right i'm going to ring up lg and have this sorted..
still rebooting
phone still rebooting, woke up this morning and the battery counter was on 45 minutes, which means the phone restarted 45 minutes ago (did refresh so now I took out the sd card to see how that goes, I have kingston Class 5 32 gig, if that is the case, this is bad news, being stuck with 8 gig which I only half 2 gig empty is a joke. Will give it a try before jumping to conclusions. will keep you posted.
Someone in other forum noticed that when turns on auto sync and background data may leads to the reboot as well. So I turn it off and since doing this, so far I have no reboot issue from yesterday.
I have also upgraded to v10K but I' ve had my phone randomly rebooting when idle even before that. I called the customer support service and they told me that it might be an incompatibility issue with my SIM card (I also had a problem with my SMS delivery report option being ghosted). They said that the card I had was 2.5G and I needed a true 3G card. So I followed their advice and got a new SIM card from my provider. I have no issues with the SMS delivery report now, but the random rebooting goes on...
I do hope that the Gingerbread update solves this.

Reboots = Restarts
Our phones restart by themselves! This is what this thread is about.
Dear Friends,
These issue occurs with latest 10j and 10k firmwares... If WIFI sleep policy is set to NEVER (always on) then you probably get random reboots... As mentioned previous post, you have to set WIFI sleep policy to WHEN SCREEN TURNS OFF (always off) in order to avoid random reboots... Till now there is no workaround for this issue and lets hope LG fix it in the next rom...
Kind Regards,

I took the phone to LG service center today, I was told that my Phone is faulty, that is why it is rebooting, they are going to replace the motherboard, I did ask the serviceman regarding the wifi issue in relation to the recent rom upgrade (10J), I was told that there is nothing wrong with 10J or 10K. Will let you know if the issue still exist after the repairs, the phone will be ready for pick up on Monday.

Well? What happened?
I set my wifi to sleep when the screen is off, but I still get reboots unless I manually turn it off (I have Viber installed and I suspect it keeps wifi alive to stay online, which makes perfect sense).
Since I updated my Nexus S (i9020a to be exact) to ICS 4.0.4, my phone has been randomly rebooting like everyday! I did manually update it but I got stock Android and also I am unrooted not have my bootloader unlocked. Why is this happening so frequently? Should I factory reset my phone?

Personally I've had several occurences of random reboots and actually at the phone lock into a reboot loop till I pulled the battery.
I think the issue is RAM management. The Nexus S doesn't have as much RAM as most tablets and it's younger sister the Galaxy Nexus. Something in how the OS decides which of the background services should be terminated and cached under heavy RAM load seems to be part of the problem.
For example, I seem to have improved my phone stability by removing apps that update in the background and don't need to (UAL, I'm looking at you ) and disabling background updates in other applications (TripIt, PodKicker Pro, etc) to prevent them from leaving background services running. That seems to have helped in my case.

wipe data may solve this issue.
I have been running Pete's Bugless Beast which has both the ROM and Kernel updated to 4.0.4. Never had a random reboot.
I doubt it is a memory issue. When my phone doesn't have a foreground app open it usually has 130 MB ~ 150 MB free. I never see it go below 100 MB.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
Exactly when is it powercycling?
Is it when running a certain app? When plugged in? When on standby? When you set it down or bump it?
There a number of different reasons the phone could be powercycling.
If it's while running a certain app or completely at random while you're not using it, unprevoked, first try hard resetting it. That will resolve the majority of issues.
If it's when you set it down or it's bumped, it's an issue with the battery making contact. Remove your battery, clean the contacts gently with a pencil eraser, make sure the contacts are clean and free from pocket lint on the phone itself and reinsert the battery.
If it's still doing it after a reset, it could be your processor. The best way I've found to test your processor is to max it out. You can do this by running a benchmark app over and over while everything on your phone is running. I personally use "Neocore" (available in the Play Store). Turn on your bluetooth, wifi, max your screen brightness, gps, every battery sucking processor running setting available. Run Neocore as 'Interactive Mode'. If you run that for an hour without powercycling, your processor is good. If it powercycles, you have a bad processor and should have your phone replaced through Samsung warranty.
Best of luck to you!
Random reboot
My phone is rebooting at least 15 times a day !
It is very random : during a phone call/installing an app/unlock the phone/writing with keyboard/phone is idle...
Applications are also often not responding...
I did a factory reset/wipe data several times but it didnt change anything.
Phone :Nexus S i9023
Carrier : unlocked ( HK )
OS/build number : Android 4.04/IMM76D
A really big amount of people posted the same issue on google mobile forum. ( i can't post link yet as it is my first post ) title "Random reboot of nexus with Android 4" ( please google it ) , but nobody mentionned anything with CPU. Could it be really that many people having a default CPU ?
After my last post, no reboots for while but now reboots are back with increasing frequency.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I don't usually like resurrect a really old thread, but after a road trip where my Nexus S randomly rebooted 4-5 times while running Podkicker Pro and Maps Navigation I went and reset my device to factory defaults. The next day I had the phone reboot in the middle of a podcast. Today it rebooted halfway through the first ring when I received a call.
Seems to be, at least in my case, that the reboots are related to mp3 audio.
This lead me to find this bug logged against the galaxy nexus: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22669
It doesn't provide an answer, but it does provide some insight. I think personally I might look at different ringtone formats and see if converting my custom ringtone to something other than MP3 will help, but I'm not optimistic.
Inspire 4G with Jellytime as my current rom. Ever since I've been running ICS and now JB I've had issues with my batteries. After charging the battery fully, whether in my phone or in an external charger I boot my phone and when it starts it shows no battery power and automatically shuts down. If I boot into recovery I don't have that issue but the battery level still shows zero. If I boot with the usb plugged into the computer or AC outlet and plugged in the phone it will start fine but it will show zero battery until I unplug the usb cable then it will show 100%.
I have a second Inspire and it the same thing so it isn't specific to my phone. I have not seen this on a GB rom on either phone. I have 6 spare batteries (my son has an Inspire and his does this sometimes but not always), 4 Hyperion and 2 htc batteries. Sometimes with the htc battery the phone will boot normally.
It does not happen on a Gb rom? Have you tried that after the issue began?
I am assuming you are full wiping.
Format data/data factory reset.
Wipe dalvik
Wipe bat stats (just in case)
Format all partitions except sd card.
Does it happen right after a clean flash? Not downloading/restoring any apps.
Try booting without the sd card.
Have you tried cleaning the contacts? I think you mentioned it also happens on the other inspire. Are both running the same OS and apps?
Try it with only the htc batteries and not the hyperion.
After this, no idea.
Edit: I believe there was a post several months back with the same or similar issue as yours. Can't remember if it was in the Q&A, general or over the dhd forum.

Format data/data factory reset. - Every time
Wipe dalvik - every time, 3 times
Wipe bat stats (just in case) - Every time, agreed, just in case
Format all partitions except sd card. I have formatted the partitions although not every time, made no difference.

Try booting without the sd card. Haven't tried that, will try it

I have tried cleaning the contacts in both the Inspire and on the battery, both phones have had the same OS and issue along with different OS and the same issue. Essentially the same apps, could be a few differences in apps though
Try it with only the htc batteries and not the hyperion. I've done that, sometimes it boots normal with the htc battery but not every time, sometimes it boots normal with the hyperion but it fails alot more often than with the htc battery. This includes new and old batteries.
Edit: I believe there was a post several months back with the same or similar issue as yours. Can't remember if it was in the Q&A, general or over the dhd forum. I think that was me, I've become more frustrated so I posted again
I'm also going to try booting into GB and ICS in Boot Manager to see if the same thing happens.
thanks for the help!
It sounds as a software issue related to ICS/JB only. Very odd.
To simplify the testing, try existz rom. The last one I tested was br5t2 and the reports for B5 sound good.
You know what to do, but boot without the sd card (if you have anything in the sd card).
I would wipe everything. Shut the phone off. Pull the battery, wait for I don't know... An hour? Watch some tv, spend time with your family then flash the rom and booting without the sd card. You can try this if the normal procedure doesn't work.
Heck, if this doesn't work maybe your two inspire phones don't like ics? Perish the thought.
Are you using cwm or 4ext? Shouldn't make a difference.

You can try the battery calibration app from the android market... my inspire 4g is running ice cold sandwich and the battery works even better than on the gingerbread stock rom by at&t... i used the battery calibration app because initially i got about the same battery life. Dont know if it will fix your situation but its worth a shot...

I was planning on calibrating my battery today but read of a different method of doing it on this forum:

Is this the app that you used from the market and if so did it work for you?

Just want to know what all of my options are.

Inspire 4G with Jellytime as my current rom. Ever since I've been running ICS and now JB I've had issues with my batteries. After charging the battery fully, whether in my phone or in an external charger I boot my phone and when it starts it shows no battery power and automatically shuts down. If I boot into recovery I don't have that issue but the battery level still shows zero. If I boot with the usb plugged into the computer or AC outlet and plugged in the phone it will start fine but it will show zero battery until I unplug the usb cable then it will show 100%.
I have a second Inspire and it the same thing so it isn't specific to my phone. I have not seen this on a GB rom on either phone. I have 6 spare batteries (my son has an Inspire and his does this sometimes but not always), 4 Hyperion and 2 htc batteries. Sometimes with the htc battery the phone will boot normally.

If that rom is causing issues have you tried Virtuous infinity alpha3 with the inspire patch? its ics based and tho its still alpha stage it runs amazingly on my Inspire 4G. Also get ram manager pro its under $2.00 and helps your phone run much smoother. hope this hellps. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30873-virtuous-infinity-v1330-alpha3-general/ you can find it all here.

It does not happen on a Gb rom? No, never had it happen on a GB rom
Have you tried that after the issue began? Yes, I have a GB rom on my 2nd Inspire now and the same battery boots normally
I am assuming you are full wiping - Always a full wipe, no exception, dalvik wiped 3 times
Format data/data factory reset. - Every time
Wipe dalvik - every time, 3 times
Wipe bat stats (just in case) - Every time, agreed, just in case
Format all partitions except sd card. I have formatted the partitions although not every time, made no difference.
Does it happen right after a clean flash? Not downloading/restoring any apps. This I'm going to try, I can't remember...maybe it's an app, hopefully!
Try booting without the sd card. Haven't tried that, will try it
Have you tried cleaning the contacts? I think you mentioned it also happens on the other inspire. Are both running the same OS and apps? I have tried cleaning the contacts in both the Inspire and on the battery, both phones have had the same OS and issue along with different OS and the same issue. Essentially the same apps, could be a few differences in apps though
Try it with only the htc batteries and not the hyperion. I've done that, sometimes it boots normal with the htc battery but not every time, sometimes it boots normal with the hyperion but it fails alot more often than with the htc battery. This includes new and old batteries.
Edit: I believe there was a post several months back with the same or similar issue as yours. Can't remember if it was in the Q&A, general or over the dhd forum. I think that was me, I've become more frustrated so I posted again
I'm also going to try booting into GB and ICS in Boot Manager to see if the same thing happens.
thanks for the help!

When I flashed ics on mine and then tried to restore apps,( from when I was running gb), my phone would freeze and reboot several times, I since reflashed ics and put fresh apps on my phone and it runs great. If your backed up apps were from when you had gb, then they are probably doing that to your battery.
I've never had any major problems with my Infuse since I got it.
The battery is getting weaker but I bought a 2600Mah USB Backup Battery and that gives me another 7-8 hours for about 13-14 hours of use.
To make a long story short, I unlocked for use in Mexico City on TelCel and had some issues, so I returned the phone back to stock, unrooted.
Since that point however, while it would occasionally freeze before, its become a daily thing now and really bothersome because I can't even stop audio from playing via bluetooth. The touch screen becomes unresponsive and only a soft reboot or a hard reboot (removing the battery) returns the phone to a useful state.
It seems I have to do is every couple of hours now though, so I am posting here to get some suggestion on how to fix it.
Its been two years already since I got it so I am eligible for a new phone, but this one continues to work well besides this issue.
Thanks

1. your microSD may be going bad
2. if you haven't done so, back up all your stuff and try a factory reset...this may erase all existing info and bring the phone back to day#1

I mentioned that in the post, I did it while in Mexico City. It worked fine until this week, late last week. The battery only gives me about 5 hours now with just 32% audio playback and about 10% web access.
I guess I'll order a Anker battery from Amazon.
I rooted the phone again last night but before I did that, the phone became unresponsive three times in an hour. Which microSD card are you talking about? I just bought a 32GB Class 6 card and that works fine, I play all my audio from it, no problems.
If you mean the internal microSD card, that could be possible. I assume I can crack open the phone and replace this easily?
I should mention it never does that while plugged into a power source, so maybe this is all battery related.
Possible Fix...
When I had to hard reboot the phone again this afternoon, a little forced closed window came up for TwLauncher.
After rebooting the phone I looking at Titanium Backup and cleared the cashe from TwLauncher and that seems to have solved the problem.
Somebody on here mentioned that after installing a ROM they had the same problem, was worth a try.
I will report back if the issue returns.

My personal beliefs are that TB is good for causing a lot of problems.I used to use it,even bought pro,but even not restoring data when restoring apps I seamed to develop odd quirks or problems on about any ROM. Since not using it have much fewer problems.I am sure many people love it and think it's great, just thought I would give my $0.02
if your battery holds a charge...that is, it's letting you run the phone for more than several hours, it's unlikely to be the battery.
lags are usually due to apps misbehaving, media scan, wakelocks and wifi bugs...there are some others.
a factory reset ...complete reset..complete stock..will let you know if you have hardware of software issues.

Thus far, that issue has not returned. Yes the battery holds a charge, but last only about 5-6 hours now, not 7-8 hours.
It seems it was a minor software issue. I did a factory reset, you keep missing that.
I did it in Mexico City (7 days ago).... Since that point and returning to the US, I have put my apps back on the phone. I had already updated to Gingerbread and it just reset to that.
I won't know more until I am out and about with my phone. I will be watching various auto racing events and don't plan on leaving the house this weekend.

No problem, I've never had a problem with TB. I updated the rom to a rooted version of the AT&T Gingerbread release so I could even use it... lol
The phone was rooted for Froyo, I downloaded the AT&T Gingerbread from Samsung via Kies when it was released and it remained rooted.
But resetting it back to stock, TB didn't work until I put the rooted rom on the phone.

Exactly...you had to use TB or another restore. If you used TB on froyo and restored on GB or vice versa, you may run into issues.
and ...sigh... I did not miss the fact that you stated that you had reset the phone. I just had doubts that you understood what I was trying to say...from inside the phone..under settings/privacy..there is a reset option. make sure everything you wanted is already backed up. reset it..then put it into download mode and use one of the odin or heimdall package and flash it back to complete stock...run it stock and dont back up anything. download only apps from the play store or side load the apps if you had the apk's.
check the battery use to see if you have wake locks or android OS or android system eating up for battery..then you will know

Well like this, I will not go into the details but somebody else put Swipe Lock on the phone and of course I didn't know what he put into the phone. I was trying to resolve data issue on TelCel.
I had to do a hard reset outside of the operating system. Since the ROM was already upgraded to Gingerbread but unrooted, it went back to its unrooted state meaning I couldn't use TB.
So I re-downloaded apps from my memory. All of them are free so it wasn't an issue, just time consuming.

See above.
I used download mode to get out of Swipe Lock. I never used Swipe Lock, a-hole wanted to charge me 120 pesos ($7) to wipe it and put it back to stock, I wasn't going to do it, I know enough about Android phones to do it myself.
Oh well, lesson learned, I believe wiping the cashe from TwLauncher has solved the problem.
I did re-install all the apps from the store. I wasn't able to use TB until Thurs night (5/16). I noticed the errors Friday afternoon, wipe the cashe and no issues since.
Hello Guys!
I own an Atrix 2 and am currently on Official ICS. My phone was working fine all along.
Recently I've noticed that the phone runs extremely slow many times. I have to power off & on many times a day to keep it functioning properly.
It is mostly sluggish these days and I don't understand why. I tried uninstalling recently installed apps but, nothing seems to be helping.
This is my first Android phone and am lost!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx.

IF you think you phone is giving poor performance on official ICS then why don't you try custom roms . Read/Research on MIUI and I think you will get best performance. BUT READ TILL YOU UNDERSTAND EVERY ABOUT COUSTOM ROMS.

Hi,
What you are saying may be correct however, the same phone was performing superbly on Official ICS for around 6 months. It's been a few weeks that the phone has become sluggish.
I need to find out the root cause for this and rectify that.

You could try wipe cache...
Turn off the phone and then press and hold at the same time: the Power button, Vol up and Down Key until the bootloader screen comes up
Volume down to recovery and than hit Volume up to select
When the Android with the the Red Triangle appears push the vol up and down button together
Scroll to clear cache partition and push the power button
Wait for it to clear and than choose reboot once complete by pushing the power button.
It might be some rogue app.. Try uninstalling any app you installed recently.. Worst case, backup all apps and data, try a factory reset.. After that, restore only the apps you really need.. One by one when you get time and find out what was causing the problem..

Try downloading a Cache Cleaner like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.cache.cleaner. You could also make a titanium backup of all your apps and do a factory reset.
You might also try and do a FXZ and start over. It seems odd, sometimes that fixes all of the little oddities that pop up including slowness that shows up out of nowhere.
I faced the same problem a month ago. Opening Messages, Settings, EVEN PICKING CALLS, took 7-15 secs.
Turned out it was Android OS/ the Kernel. Whenever the WiFi status changed and some other reasons, the Android OS seemed to take 100% CPU usage for about 1-3 min. Also sometimes I had other processes such as kworker2, kworker3 and others. It took me many apps such as Watchdog, Systempanel, etc to find it out.
Even still I got tired and did a Factory Reset, Rooted it and installed Another ROM. Now its Working fine.
My suggestion would be a Factory Reset (Dont forget Backup if you need to). :good:
Tried the clear Cache Thing as well as uninstalled most of the apps which I never use. Phone started functioning good for some time.
But, now again the same thing.
Thinking about FXZ now. What is FXZ and how do you do it?
Factory reset I can consider but, does it really help?
I notice that the sluggishness starts when WIFI is on and the phone is connected to my home WIFI.

Go to your wireless settings and "Forget" the home wifi connection. Reboot your router and phone, then sign back in to your WIFI.
If you are thinking about FXZ, then you might as well try the FDR first.
Start here and read and read again:

If you decide to go the FXZ route, please ask and confirm which firmware to use with your Atrix2. Many BRICKED their phones flashing the WRONG FXZ!

slow atrix2 - email trash folder
I was having the same issue - tried wiping the cache (both via the system and with various cache wiping apps). Eventually I would get a slow atrix2 again. I noticed that the trash folder for my pop3 email accounts did not clean itself up, so I did a select all and deleted the messages from the trash folder. This was thousands of trash emails. Three days later and my atrix2 is still snappy. I'm hopeful that this was the issue.
