Random reboots?

First off I want to start by saying I have flashed my rom to Bamf 1.5 remix. I do not overclock my phone however I have tried limiting my clockspeed hoping to prevent a reboot. The phone did not start the random reboot until I flashed to said rom. I have tried reflashing but no improvements, any ideas?

It has happened to me but I believe it just me OCing, flashing back to the kernel that I was using before when my phone was stable and testing it out. If not, I will just go back to 1.5
Also, does anyone know how to edit the power control widgets in the pulldown? I can't find any options. Thanks.

Did you flash the new radio when you loaded up BAMF 1.5?
If so, there's your problem

Happened to me with BAMF 1.6 and leankernel 192X, but only when I set it to ondemandX thru SETCPU. Other than that I've had no reboots.

yeah its pretty common for people who flashed the new radio to have reboots. i have had some of those issues, i found that using different kernels at different clocking speeds made my phone more stable. NOTE: i am not a pro, just something i noticed.

What's really behind all the random reboots?
OK... So I've tried just about every rom on the dev thread, I purchased the TB on launch date and had it rooted as soon as Jcase posted S-off instructions... I am now on the new radio and until today, I haven't had a single random reboot. Then all of a sudden, just about an hour ago, as I'm backing out of Tapatalk, bam... Phone rebooted itself...
Now I've been reading on just about every rom thread where people have been experiencing random reboots. Some think the new radio is the cause, but some people are on the new radio and have not experienced this. Others on the old radio still get random reboots.
Others think its the rom but people have noted this issue on most If not all of the rom threads.
Others think its the kernel that's causing it, but again, there doesn't seem to be any pattern to nail it down to a single kernel. Furthermore, some of these people are not OCing, myself included.
Which leads me to the strangest part of all this. My wife also has the TB. Her phone is totally stock and is not rooted. I got it for her day after launch and for the last few weeks, her phone has also been randomly rebooting. Not constantly, mind you. Just enough to be a nuisance. She has still not updated to OTA... The only suspect to this is that this appears to have started after the 4G outage a few weeks ago... And we are in a 3G only area but there was a day or so we could only connect to 1x...
So what's really causing these random reboots? I'm no expert, never claimed to be one, but is it possible that something going on between our phones and the Verizon network is causing this?
Thoughts... Ideas...?

Great post. It's good to know even non rooted users are having reboots.

non-rooted.... Updated yesterday... and got a reboot today.

I have had a few reboots across a few different rom, radio, and kernal combos. The only thing that all my reboots have had in common was I had GPS enabled. Ive yet to see a reboot with it off. Could just be a coincidence.

stock rom, not rooted, has had multiple random reboots

I have had no random reboots, or none that I have personally experienced. I figured if my phone was randomly rebooting I would have noticed a considerable battery drain. I have not noticed that yet. I honestly think that this might be an issue for people with little to no 4g coverage. I am bothered that this has not been addressed yet by verizon as I have seen so many people complain about this.
Hopefully I dont get these either, who knows may it is just phones that are may be defective hardware wise.

Well i just wanted to drop my $.02
I am Rooted and have been just about the same time the OP has been rooted.
I USED to have reboots. I install the full RUU and had reboots i also installed just the RADIO file and had reboots. I also reverted back to stock by the RUU provided by JCase. I Then flashed 1.6 followed 1.6.3 and have not had any problems. I assume that those 2 already had the radio file in them and i didn't not have to flash anything additional. Since being on 1.6 then 1.6.3 i have experienced not 1 reboot. Unless i did it myself.
I did notice then before when i did have the reboots (when i manually flashed RUU or just the RADIO file). I had reboots 3 different ways. I would either get a reboot when my phone had been sitting next to me for a while i would notice the white screen and know it was a reboot. Also the 2 other times was backing out of TapaTalk or native browser/dolphin HD.
So i don't know if that is in a way related. I just don't have them anymore.

I noticed that whenever my phone would reboot (on the leaked radio only,) I had a weak 3g signal. I watched this happen several times. My guess would be the people who aren't having reboots are in an area where they constantly have a good signal. Can anyone else corroborate this?

This is a possibility... But if that's the case this will be the first Android device I've owned that has rebooted itself randomly due to GPS. Even the Samsung Vibrant, which had horrible GPS right out of the box, didn't reboot itself when it was turned on...
However, if this is the case, why has this only become a recent issue.. now my memory isn't so good... But I don't remember seeing much about this issue on rom threads until recently... I.e the past few weeks... Neither my wife's nor my phone randomly rebooted until just a few weeks ago, and we both have our GPS turned on everyday, all day...

I live in a strong 3G area and my phone has never re-booted itself as far as I know. I'm doing the update tomorrow and will be interested to see if the problem starts.....I hope not.

Unfortunately, I had a solid signal when my phone rebooted this afternoon. I was a stone's throw from Philadelphia on I-95. I've never had signal issues along I-95 between New York and Philadelphia. I'm running the released update.

This as well is a possibility... Although I am in an area where 3g is strong... I have seen on my and my wife's phone... Even when standing still... That the 3g icon will vanish and come back seconds later...I am in a decent sized college town, population of about 70000... I couldn't say how strong 3g actually is but its everywhere in the city limits... And most of the countryside...
I have traveled to cities with strong 4g but I didnt stand around long enough in a single place to really watch the phone to see if it was dropping data...
Thanks for the constructive input, everyone... Lets keep the corroboration going and see if we can find a pattern..

The only time I had reboot was on the leaked ruu which is now the OTA.
Once I went to BAMF 1.5 with new radio and new base no reboot. About a week ago I flashed back to stock radio just to compare after being on the new one for a while. I see nothing different between them really.

1.85 Mobile Network Issues

I was just curious if anyone, other than myself, is having mobile network issues with there one x still even on the newest radio and software?
The issue I am talking about is when you go to use your phone and you pick it up and it has no service at all with a X on the signal bars until you turn it on and off again or in some instances you have signal bars but you can't make a call, send or receive a message, or surf the web until once again you reboot the phone or swap it in and out of airplane mode.
I was just curious if anyone has a solution for this or ideas... ironically when I updated to 1.85 it was fine for an entire day then the next day I rooted and installed a different ROM and the issue came back. Could be timing or not related but I have no idea.
Thoughts?

Happens all the time on 1.73. I've held off upgrading because I've heard of people having fun (and by fun, I mean lotsaproblems) on 1.85.

Only thing thats really starting to frustrate me are all the double texts/retry sending notifications.

I have had a problem where the phone thinks it has signal, data works fine but you cannot make calls or send texts until you reboot or go into airplane mode.
This happened on 1.73, 1.82 and now 1.85

It has happened to me on all versions. I was told I could exchange mine, but they have none in stock. Another pain in the butt is that I'm not receiving text messages at times. Really becoming a nuisance.

Happens rarely but all I do is toggle airplane mode and its fixed. Takes like 5 seconds. No biggie.

I believe mine started after I rooted as well... I wonder if the root is doing something that interferes with the radio working correctly or something along those lines.

Its the main reason I updated. Even when going from HSPA+ to LTE I would have to reboot the phone while stock. 1.82 did nothing to fix the issue but since I've been on 1.85 I've not experienced the problem. Multitasking is, imo, unchanged.

Yeah. Happens regularly when I am travelling some distance by car and occasionally in the city (maybe every two days while I remain in the city). I'm on rooted stock but it was happening even with un-rooted stock. I hope HTC fixes this soon and Rogers pushes out an OTA update as this is sh*tty. Funnily enough, going into airplane mode doesn't seem to fix the issue. Apps that access the Internet just report an error with the network connection.

Data connection issues.

Hi. I was using my Sensation last night, went to bed and woke up the next day only to find that my 4G connection wasn't working! The signal bars were white and the icon (currently an H) is flashing. What does this mean? How can I fix it? I can only use Wifi at the moment, and I DO NOT pay an extra $10/mo to deal with this! How can I fix this? I've checked my data settings, rebooted my phone, scanned fir viruses, but can't figure it out!

this happened to me the other day, even in 3G/4G mode my data would never connect and E would just keep flashing over and over again (in like 10 sec. intervals) thought it was a ROM problem so I restored a backup and sure enough, the problem was still happening. I could still make calls and send texts fine tho. its not happening to me anymore, but I found it weird. could it possibly be T-Mobile messing with their towers or something in preparation for LTE?

Well, I'm not sure what caused this very same issue for me a couple days ago. I can say that it ONLY effected my AOSP (CM9) rom, but my Sense rom was unphased. It seems to be a common recent complaint in the OpenSensation thread...
I've since then done a fresh install of CM9 RC1 with the addition of Tamcore's kernel. Although I'm not experiencing the described symptom any longer, I can say that my data speeds are far from exceptional. I'm not sure what is going on, but it does seem to be carrier related.

I experienced the same 1 day after flashing CM9 RC1. I re-flashed the Virtuous Inq. ROM I was using previously and the problem went away

My phone went back to normal later on. I think you were right mulletcutter, they might have been servicing it.

Same data connectivity issue
I have two sensations, both shows similar data connectivity issue on TMobile. Data signal jump to connected and not connected for couple hours, and eventually problem will go away. I have both phones rooted running either CM9 or Kang. So far I have tried couple following things but no solutions. I believe its HTC Sensation hardware issue:
1. Flickering so far seen usually after night long charge in the morning. It will last couple hours, some time days.
2. Changing/reflashing ROMs did not help at all and saw same issue continued.
3. One of my friend has Sensation and he also has seen same issue.
4. Some time going into Phone application(Dialer) and then Settings/Advance settings and come back without doing anything helps but not always.
Please post here is you have temporary/permanent solution or even know the root cause of this data connectivity issue.
Also thinking to call Tmobile to get some kind of help but not expecting much as I bought phones more than year ago but less than 2 years. I don't want to give any more commitment/agreement with Tmobile as planning to move to value plans to save some money. If Tmobile does not help, thinking to try American Express to conver it under extentended warranty as I paid by AMEX credit card.
Thanks

Have you tried the application get ril? I was having some issues myself, I'm also T-Mobile. I tried get ril and found out my radio and ril we're not matching. The application suggested a ril for download and once I did that I went from one bar of connection to five bars of connection on H. It made a big difference for me. Perhaps it could also help you? You can download get ril from the market. It sure won't hurt to try. Best of luck.

Its a defect in the basic aosp framework. There is nothing you can do to fix it. There is also nothing your usage did to start it.
The good news is that it should disappear on its on after a few hours.
Check my threads started history. You will find a thread near the top of that list showing almost all there is to know about this issue. I think my thread might be linked in the first 2 posts of the cm10 faq thread too.

Anybody still having data issues?

I've been using my Rogers HOX ever since it came out but always had random data drops. Tried all kinds of radios (with or without RIL) and all kinds of roms and the issue is still there. Losing data is not the biggest issue but it also drops the battery real quick because it keeps trying to connect.
Anybody ever find a solution to this?

I'm using the HOX on Straight Talk and lately I have noticed that when I have WiFi on for a while, assuming it stays connected, I lose mobile data. The only thing that bring it back is toggling airplane mode or rebooting the phone.
I am on Jellybean, and I am not sure if the issue was present in the stock ROM's.

Yep still having the same problem on AT&T with every combination of Kernel/ROM/Radio you can think of. I can also say that it isn't a "rooted only" problem because a coworker is having the same issues on 100% stock software. There's always that ONE THING that keeps my phone experiences from being perfect. Grrrrrrrr........

Stock 2.20 on Straight Talk. Have to toggle Airplane occasionally. Especially in North Little Rock. ::shrugs::

OP, have you restored your stock setup to see if the issue persists? Basic question, but for the sake of a starting point.

After so long, finaly found the problem. I don't know if it'll be the same for everyone but the problem was Swiftkey keyboard. The moment I uninstalled it, the problem did not reoccur.

I have the same problem and I can assure you its not the phone, I have used many android phones, iPhones, and regular phones on rogers 3G network and they all have the data drops in general like dropping to 1 bar and no service once and while.
You might want to switch your network to wcdma/gsm instead of wcdma/gsm/LTE. If you dont have the correct APN for the rogers lte network it will keep searching for the lte nrtwork causing the data drop. As soon as I turned my lte toggle off the network stopped dropping randomly though I still get those random data drops caused by the network

We had this issue with the rezound, it actually occurred because you flashed different radios.
You had to flash a ruu or a modified one without the system image. See my SIG
So try flashing a ruu, this doesn't explain someone with a stock phone having issues but I bet that's just tower issues
I don't have any of these issues

Tried all of the listed solutions and nothing worked. I know it's not the network because I don't have the problem with my Note II. Swiftkey was the issue for me, once removed, the issue never reoccurred.

Wow, you might be onto something here. I just installed SwiftKey last night and immediately started having issues. Data has been off-and-on with different versions of different ROMs, and never suspected that my issues may lie within an app that I was using. I was mucking about with radio ROMs and a million other settings, never realizing that SwiftKey was installed right around the time I started having issues on each ROM.
I'm going to jump back to CM10 this evening and see if this was my issue.
THANK YOU in advance! (Thanks button has been hit!) Nice work!

You gotta be sh***ing me! After all this time scouring xda and numerous other sites.starting my own tread it was SwiftKey all along? Wtf? I did a thousand different things. Nothing worked, took off Swiftkey, bam, flawless. I've got a T-mobile GS3 incase anyway was wondering, no, apparently it's not just with htc or AT&T/Rodgers. Weird though cuz my wife has a AT&T GS3 with Swiftkey and has no issues whatsoever... Did you dl your version from the playstore or from a 3rd party? Thanks a million for posting your solution. This was absolutely killing me. God do I hate this stock keyboard though...

Data stall after wifi disconnect

I have a VZW M8 and it seems that after I leave Wi-Fi coverage, my mobile data will stall. I believe it is Wi-Fi disconnect causing the issue because if I leave Wi-Fi off, I haven't noticed the stall.
The only way to regain mobile data is to either restart which works every time, or if I go to mobile data settings and change from LTE to GSM, which works most of the time. Toggling data does not work.
I apologize if this has been discussed before, I searched and found nothing. I am s-off, rooted and running nV Rom. I asked in that forum but got no response. I also ran the GPE rom and had the same issue.
I don't remember this issue when I was stock, but that was such a short time, so I can't be sure.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if they were able to remedy it somehow.

I've had this issue on previous devices and it was usually caused by a specific rom, but many times it had to do with the baseband or even kernel. I know that the GPE roms for the VZW M8 were ports from the unlocked variants so that may have modified something like the baseband. If it's a consistent thing throughout several roms, I would literally go back and flash stock firmware and then reroot to see if that fixed it. That used to do the trick for me.

Worth trying, I'll let you know what I come up with. Thanks

Well, I restored my stock nandroid, but I'm still having the issue. Maybe I will RUU to stock and see what that does for me.
On a side note, could it be one access point causing the issue? I don't remember it happening off of my router at home, but 75% of the time it happens all the time at work.

Actually, try forgetting the access point and then re-add.
I ended up not using Wi-Fi at work for a short time, and then re tried and it worked. Nothing changed, other than I forgot and re-added the network. Worth a try.
