I'm having some issues with my S 4g. After leaving my phone alone, such as charging it over night. I'll wake up with it booted in to recovery, or as soon as I go to use it I'll get a lot of force closures. I've tried different ROMS I've tried wipping every thing that can be wiped and doing clean installs and it still happens.
At first I thought it was from my alarm app, so I stopped using it. That didn't help. Thought it might be deep idle, so I stopped using that, still happens. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? It's making my phone quite un-usable. I'm current on CM9 nightlies, this first started when I went to the CM9 RC1.
You need to provide more info.
Kernel, clock speeds, voltages etc.
If all else fails, you can always use ODIN to flash factory images of ICS and root from there.

I'm still using the kernel that came with CM9. I hadn't flashed a new one on to it. So those would be the stock clock speeds and voltages.
It's really weird, as long as I'm using my phone it's fine, but if I leave it alone for a while it misbehaves.... kinda like my kid.
Delete..........
I tried going back to completely stock, re-rooted my phone and doing a fresh install of cm9. Didn't help anything. Switched to a different Rom and no issues so far

I have tried 4 different radios and this phone still randomly reboots with frequency. I am the the 802 radio and it seems even worse then earlier radios. I am currently on gingerritis rom which i installed yesterday and have probably had 12 reboots since then.
Is it a combination of the rom and radio, or does just the radio make the phone reboot? I am really just tempted to flash it back to stock, sell it with the warning of this phone enjoys random reboots and get another phone.
while i typed this up it just rebooted twice on its own
I dont think the radio is what is going to fix the reboot issue. I know for some of the roms the fix was flashing the ziggy kernel.
Maybe give that a shot.

If hes using gingeritis, hes already using ziggy's kernel. Sounds weird i know, but try a new battery

i think overclocking to high and all the kernel cpu mods are whats causing this, not the radios.

I agree. Ziggy's stock voltage settings are very conservative north of about 1.5GHz. If you're tweaking it, definitely pay attention to the voltage.
nope not touching voltage or overclocking, i just put rom on thats about as far as i go tweaking phone.
Installed M0N0LITHTH3ORY rom and so far no reboots today, the gingeritis one must hate my phone cause in the less than 24 hours it was on the phone damn thing rebooted easy 10 times. But now this one is giving me some unexpected errors with weather app. I will give this one a week and see how it does and if no good on to next rom i guess.

Have you ever formatted /system?
yeah every time i put new rom i go into clockwork recovery
i wipe / factory reset
then format /system /cache /data
and wipe davlik cache
then install rom
double post...
i know my phone didnt like a few different roms. try a diffeerent one. also try doing each step 3 times. i did that after my phone rebooted on an a0sp rom by droidtheroy, after that it worked just fine on the rom that was rebooting
You know what? I was having the same problem and tired as hell of my TB. I was so tired of the little problems and the large rebooting problem that I had learned to really hate this phone.
A few days ago I decided to just use the new leaked, stock, unrooted, GB 210 RUU and give that one more try before I either took a hammer to this phone or unrooted and tried to get VZW to replace it.
I've had the latest leaked RUU on this phone for a few days now and I'm loving it again. Yeah, stock, unrooted, but also super fast GPS locking, fast 3g/LTE switching, no more reboots, not one. Battery is actually not bad at all after turning off a few of the stock bloat like Blockbuster. The gui is fast and smooth, I can't say whether or not it is as fast as it was when I was running custom ROMs but as far as I'm concerned its a big who cares. I now have a nicely working phone again. This is just my experience and my opinion, YMMV!

I got reboots with gingeritis and liquid ROMs, I've had no reboots in a week now running Virus' Synergy ROM. Try a different ROM, it should fix your problems.
Here's a link to Virus' work:

Second the ROM recommendation. Try a different one. I had the same issue with wanting to grenade this thing until I found a combo of ROM and radio that was stable for my use and applications.
Now I wouldn't think of tossing this phone.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Stability and battery life good for me with stock 1.70.605.0. Currently at 868 hours uptime.
yeah i am on monolith rom and so far no reboots, i am going to give this one a shot for now, hopefully this cures it.
alright guys so something seems to be up with my infuse 4g, pretty much all of a sudden regardless of which rom i run (including cm7 which is normally really fast)
my phone has been running very slowly or freezing.
this is happening even if i go through this back to stock process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1318160
or gtg's unbrick.
do you guys have any ideas about what i could try or anything i can do?
"Running slow" just isn't descriptive enough. Can you use more detail? Is there any activity that you do that consistently causes lag or slowness? Have you made sure there's no undervolting settings you left in by accident? What does your system report your CPU speed as? Try and be as descriptive as possible.

I would suggest go back to stock, and factory reset the phone in stock.
My phone gets kinda slow every so many flashes, that's when i decide to go back to stock and reset.
So go back to stock factory reset. then flash the community kernel then your set up (rom, kernel, tweaks and what not)
then see how if it performing then.

Did this help at all? I'm having a smiliar issue after a random reboot on cm7 port.
it takes a while to boot up and it loads items in the launcher extremely slow. swiping through pages in the launcher also takes a great deal of force. I don't want to completely wipe if i can avoid it. it takes alot of time.
I've tried wiping cache, data, etc. I've also tried restoring an older backup, it looks like it's slow even in the recovery.
**Update: i rebooted my phone after a restore and it looks like it's working better. yay!
I am having this issue.
i am not sure what the problem is, however it happened to me when i switched from ICS back to CM7
i fixed permissions and seems to be faster. will update if this didnt stick permanently.
Hey guys,
The topic of this thread has change slightly since I started it. Please disregard the first few posts after this one.
The problem is that when I install a new ROM, it works perfectly for an hour or perhaps even the day, and then I start getting random shutdowns. These seem to start out of the blue and I cant work it out.
When installing a new ROM, I always check the MD5 and perform a superwipe before starting to use the ROM. Ill put back a few apps using titanium backup pro.
I don't use any hacked apps or task killers.
I have searched but cant find anything useful.
Currently using Insertcoin Sense 4 RC5. Firmware 3.32.
I have tried three different kernals (Bricked, Sebastian and RCMix), all with the same problem.
Update: tjamaican has kindly sent me a fix he found of the forums, its for a battery fix that worked for me on insertcoin's ICS Sense 4 RC4.1 ROM. However I have just moved to RC5 and the problem is back even with the fix.

I am going to try and set a lower CPU level, already down to 1.2 Ghz with max screen off at ~500Mhz. Seems stable for now, been running 24hrs - no restarts.
This is interesting because I had a GB Rom running at 1.5Ghz with no problems, maybe its something to do with ICS.
Any ideas?
[SOLVED]
Sent the phone off to htc and they have replaced the motherboard. Its all fine and dandy now!
They dont know why it happened or how to avoid it in the future...useful, but if you're still in warranty then send it off, it took exactly a week to get back to me (Monday to Monday). Good luck!

Well no need for factory reset. Superwipe? Yes.
What roms cause this?
What firmware is ur senny on? Ex: 1.17? 3.24?
Phone have physical damage?
Has it been wet?
Sent From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation
Thanks for your reply.
No, the phone is basically new, but as I said this has happened before.
Running this ROM on 3.24:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468683
But this does happen on other ROMS too, they work perfectly for a while and then slowly begin to develop problems. At this stage I usually install the latest version of the ROM but I'm actually happy with the ROM at the moment and dont want to have to keep changing it!
I've been running Darkforest ROM since early stages and have had no problems so far. Maybe try that one. It's on v 5.1.5 now and it's very fast and very stable, moreso than many other ROMs i've tried.
Could be a defective device possibly? Are u using the kernel that comes with the rom?

I would download 1-click cleaner and clean the cache every week. Also you might want to boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache every two weeks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I dont think there is anything wrong with the device, I'll try wiping the cache's and see if that makes a difference. Thank you very much for all your answers so far.

Could possibly be an app try removing all your apps and install 1 by 1 give it a couple of weeks see if it happens again, I got a problem from juice defender pro (payed for) worked alright for few days then my launcher started force closing all the time took me ages to figure it out but got there by removing all my apps and installing them 1 by 1 long and time staking but worth a try
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Okay well ive tried clearing the cache and davlik cache with no luck, less restarts but they are still there. I am resistant to start removing apps as I use them on a daily basis. Before I try this, does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks,

I have the same problem :/ it happens in both GB and ICS but It never happened to me till about 2 or 3 months ago

What other information would you like?
I think it may be a kernel issue, I'm going to try a few...
Tried three different kernals now, all with the same problem which would indicate its not a kernal problem? Something else perhaps? (Tried bricked, sebastian and RCMix)
its not a problem, its with network connection
I've had this problem since ages and couldn't fix it yet. First thing, download LTE switch and change the value from wcdma preferred to gsm auto. see if it avoids the restarts. Another thing you can try is, change the sim card (I havent tried it yet). Or, if possible, change the back cover. But I'm pretty pretty sure its the problem with the network.
Please reply.

Well I have been at the 1.2GHz level for almost 24 hours now without too much trouble. Im not sure if it was lowering the CPU clock for screen on, or raising the CPU clock for screen off. Either way I can notice the device is slightly slower. I dont see why ICS doesnt like overclocking on this phone, GB was fine with it?!

Update:
Just had a random shutdown, could have been anywhere in the last 20 mins. I really don't know what else to try!
Having EXACT ones you are having. Buy another battery if that doesn't work its a hardware problem. I still need to buy my battery but will post and let you know if it worked.

I'm also starting to think its caused by not letting the battery fully die and recharging it a lot but that's just my guess?
I switched back to gingerbread yesterday and so far I've had no problems which would indicate its not a hardware issue...? Usually by now I've had a few shut downs..
So I went as far as unrooting and switching batteries with my bro and the problem continues idk what to do

Yeah the problems started again for me on gingerbread. I've read its a motherboard problem I think I'm gonna have to send it off to HTC... Great... 3 weeks no phone...
I was on CM7 then went to AOKP, didnt like it and went back to CM7, now my phone is super laggy.
I have found out it is running at 200mhz almost constantly unless i set my minimum to 800 or 1200, but then my battery would die in minutes.
Nothing seems to fix this. it is SOOO bad that the skateboard cm7 droid dude, lags. the first samsung logo takes like 30 seconds or more, then when it jumps to the skateboard guy it lags and the circle arrow skips frames horribly. not like usual.
The only thing i can think of is when i was on AOKP (ICS) i "v6 super charged it" when i went back could there be remnance of issues?
please help i am pulling my hair out in stress and annoyance.
I have reflashed 5 times, reset with heimdall to stock, then back to CWM recovery RED, (entropy) and back to CM7... no fix. im wondering if a certain file is causing the cpu to underclock.
what file do i delete and reset.
please help
Go back to stock...and then once on stock go to settings>privacy>reset to factory defaults>format USB drive....let it do its thing and you should be good...make sure you back up important data first...this will wipe everything!!!!

Yes...remember you dealing with files...folders...that sometimes leave a trail of stuff....so a good wipe and kill all, reload clears...so being lazy will have it's effect....
My thing if ya gonna do it..do it right, work now, rest/enjoy it later......
all i should have to back up is my titanium, and my pictures i believe.
im not against doing it right, problem is i have reflashed probably 50 times, and this is the first time ive had an issue. its weird.
so when i reset to stock, it boots normal speed. im not so sure its the folders. this is so weird. but im trying this step anyhow

Pics should be on your ext sd card...and yes you can back up via tibu your apps only...
usb wiped from stock. no change. am i missing a certain kernel?
fixing permissions helps some what for one boot then back to where it was.
tried going back a month to may 1st of CM7 release. no go.
my wifes infuse is just like mine and works fine. difference is i was on ICS im gonna flash that and see how ICS works.
ive been working on this for around 14 hours, this is insane.
everything i do is no good.
i honestly think supercharger messed it up, but i dont know how. either that or my CPU is some how fried, but it works fine from time to time, and when i set it to 1200 mhz minimum speed
its as if my governor's are jacked up, but it is slow in boot up and recovery as well. which is what really confuses me
just installed ics AOKP Brocolli, and its as smooth as ics has been, i dont like the random crashes and problems i get from ICS so i want to go to CM7
plus this AOKP Broccoli theme is god awful to me.
i think im just to old to look at circuit board designs all day.
I am rooted and unlocked. After numerous rom flashes (always fully wiped, never flashed dirty) I started experiencing pretty substantial lag in my daily use. This wasn't choppy lag, but more slow response to touch and general movement, with painfully slow typing. My first reaction was to flash back to stock using Odin. I did this, re-rooted, unlocked, and flashed synergy 1.4. I had previously run this rom for quite some time without an issue. I set my phone up, clean installing all apps. After a day or two my snappy phone became slow again. I wiped (system, cache, dalvik) and flashed bean's build 9. Again the phone started snappy, then after a day or two went slow. I next tried several custom kernels. I overclocked them using setcpu. Initially this fixed the slowdown, but only temporarily. At this point I assumed it was a rouge app. I clean installed my rom, and ran it with only the stock apps. After a day of use its running slow again. If anyone has any idea what steps I might take to solve this, I would greatly appreciate the help. I know the phone is fully capable of running lag free, as I had no issues for weeks prior to this. I almost feel like there are files not being fully purged when I flash stock via odin. I don't know if this is possible, and could really use the expertise of someone more knowledgeable than me.

Although that's certainly possible, it did work well for weeks, and the lag seemed to come about as a result of my tinkering.
