[Q] HELP: Motorola Triumph randomly restarts!

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/

i am having the same problem.I am running cm9 with latest update,out of know where my phone started rebooting on its own or while i was doing something or playing a game and it is doing it more and more.What should i do.

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."

[Q] HTC Sense doesn't work anymore!

This issue just suddenly started happening this morning, it's never happened before and I've had this phone for about 4 months. When the screen is turned off, if I turn it on Sense will immediately crash and restart. If I look at the home screen for too long, it will crash+restart. If I go into an app and then go back home, it will crash+restart. (rom is the stock 2.3)
It's very strange because it was working perfectly last night and then when I woke up this morning it was suddenly doing it, and it does it EVERY TIME I do one of these actions. I didn't install any new apps or anything so I have no idea what's causing it. I've tried turning the phone off and on, no luck.
I really don't want to do a hard reset because I don't want to lose the data I have stored on the phone (and my Angry Birds progress! lol). Has anyone ever encountered this issue before?

This sounds exactly like the problem I'm having and I have come to the conclusion that is my battery. I can have the phone plugged in with absolutely no problem but whenever I take it off the charger about 3-5 mins it crashes so I'm ordering a new battery and hoping that it is that. I'm not 100% sure if that's what your problem is but I'd try to keep your phone plugged in and try it
---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------
Also it did it before and after I have rooted and rom it I'm on absolution 2.3.7

Just tested it plugged in and it still does it

Is there anymore detail like did you use titanium back up and such? Because I know it causes errors sometimes :/

it can probably just be a problem with the stock rom i would advise a data wipe but seeing as how angry birds saved data is important i would back away from that and take out your micro tee see if thats it if not go again turn off your device hook it up to the wall mount W/O the battery and see if thats it

My advice is to do a full wipe. I would backup any games or other data that you dont want lost with titanium backup first though. Then I would restore your apps a few at a time just to make sure that one of them isnt causing sense to crash. If all else fails, buy a cheap battery online to see if thats causing the problem. I just had to replace my battery because my phone would randomly shut off, so it seems like the quality isnt that great.

Yea I ordered another battery off newegg for 15 its a standard HTC battery new xD

Tried some of the things in this thread and it's still broken, any other ideas? I might try uninstalling some apps, I can't think of any possible thing I could have done to cause this other than one of the apps causing it.

Well I bought it and no they didn't charge for tax got it in two days and it works perfectly I'm currently seem to have a quick dying battery but again its on from 10am til about 1 am constantly lol
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

Did any of you try going into applications and going to htc sense and htc rosie and just clearing the cache and data?

Actually I think it might be that I downloaded too many apps, lots of them are small so they don't fill up the memory but maybe they're all trying to launch and stuff at the same time and it crashes it? Going to try uninstalling some stuff, the problem is Settings crashes too so it's hard to even click the uninstall button before the phone crashes.

Back up in recovery, then flash stock.
After that, slowly add your apps back.

Yeah it's definitely one of the apps. I installed Appbrain and Fast Uninstaller so I could uninstall some apps but as soon as I try to view the list of installed apps they both crash, so there must be something wrong with one of them.

I new to the inspire, but I come from the shift, and its stock GB ROM had the memory levels set to aggressive so the phone wasn't able to keep Sense running due to the phone killing it, aamikam put a lot of work in with build.prop edits to allow more memory to home and scripts for custom memory tweaks and all of our Sense reloads ended.
I dunno if your stock unrooted or just stock rooted but imo a devs ROM is always better than just stock
Sent from a MikRunny Inspire,cause I had to trade that pos thrill!

I have had this problem also and thought is was the aftermarket battery but it wasn't. While trying to open a file on Moboplayer it crashed then sense crashed seconds after. I had just downloaded some full length movies to the SD card but apparently one or more of the files was corrupt which kept sense rebooting; Also my file manager would not recognize the new files downloaded. I unmounted the SD then deleted the files from the card on my laptop. Problem solved! I hope this helped and most likely the problem is one of your recently installed apps.

Turning on Data shuts down phone

So whenever I turn on mobile data, the phone just shuts down for no reason. I've tried 4 different ROMS (VI, ARHD, Elegancia, and Hyper NonSense) and it happens without fail, no matter the firmware. How do I fix this?

Are you under clocking ? If so raise your value of your underclock , could be its set too low . Best wishes

Does it do this on a fresh install before you do any customizations of the rom?
If so it may be a hardware problem. It could be related to the sim card but I think its a long shot. If the sim is damaged them MAYBE its causing a small electrical short but Im really reaching out on a limb here.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app

I don't think I've underclocked and I've been wiping all partitions except the SD card before the install. I actually think it might be the battery at fault as it's started to reboot even when data isn't turned on so I'm going to try calibrating it and see how that goes.

Calibration is not the issue.
If you don't think you underclocked then you havent. Its not something you can accidentally.
I dont think its a battery issue. There are a lot of other functions on the phone that have a bigger battery drain that mobile data. If the battery couldnt take the extra strain you would see more shut offs.
Try changing sim cards just to rule that out. Find anyone else with a sim card from your network and see if his sim in your phone fixes the problem.
Also, just to rule it out, format the sd card. Copy everything to your computer. Format the card. Copy everything back. (Or the quicker test is to physicly remove the sd card, then see if the data still kills the phone)
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app

Ok so I ordered a new battery and I properly calibrated it and flashed ARHD with a clean install. I've been using it for 2 days now with data on and I haven't had a single issue. I think it was an issue with my battery but I'll check if it stays stable.

Strange Issues with my Infuse

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.

[Q] Blaze 4G battery charge indicator WAY off

My phone ( Blaze 4 G 4.04 ) only charges to 75% . Tried every charger imaginable and Ive changed batteries with new, calibrated as best as I can with not 100% showing etc. My problem is that the 75% is actually 100% charged. I pull the battery out and put it in my wife or sons identical Blaze 4G and it shows 100% on their phones. If I charge a battery to 100% in their phones and put it in mine it shows 75% . Battery fresh off the standalone charger shows 75% . I havent found a way to change the calibration of the meter and Ive tried ALL the battery calibrator apps. The problem is that when the battery discharges towards the low range I get the warnings etc even though the battery is actually still half charged. Ive tried everything and no calibrator apps do a damned thing to the meter itself. I wiped the phone with the factory reset this morning and still 75% after the phones been on the charger all day.
Any ideas ? I dont really want to flash a custom ROM as I use the wifi calling feature and no one seems to have figured out how to incorporate that into the custom ROM's out there plus the external SD card ID seems to get lost with the Blaze custom ROM's too.

What do you mean by the external card SD card ID? The external cards works flawlessly in the custom roms. And that's very rude saying, "no one seems to have figured out how to incorporate that (wifi calling) into the custom ROM's," The devs have lots of things into their hands, if you need it so much why don't you figure it out?

The only way to actually wipe the battery stats is with cwm. You can flash cwm with Odin and not touch the rom. Also custom roms based off stock ics have working wifi calling.
But I think the issue may be with your phone, so wiping battery stats/flashing a rom will probably not work, I have seen this on a different devices.

Ive flashed half a dozen ROM's on this phone, my sons phone and my wifes phone. None of them gave normal access to the external SD card. I could play music off them and movies etc but none of the file access programs would open the SD card file directory. Ive seen other people complain about that too. .Ended up going back to the factory ROM to be able to have normal external SD access and to be able to use the wifi calling.
And no, no one has developed a ROM that can use the wifi calling feature. Seems like one of the first things that would get cloned but whatever. I'm just a mechanical engineer not a software developer so writing my own code is beside my pay grade. Only reason I bought these phones in the first place was the integral wifi calling. Not the greatest phones either. My sons drops wifi after 15 minutes every time. Mine won't show a full charge on a full charge and then wigs out at the bottom of its charge cycle. I'll be using them in the trap launcher in 11 months once the contract is up. Pull.

Could you recommend a stable ROM that has the working wifi calling feature? None that I have tried would allow for wifi calling. I gave up trying a few months ago when the factory ICS came out and my CWM got blown away by Kies. Of course my new laptop is windows 8 which isnt playing well with Odin. Gives me a reason to boot my son of my old win 7 desktop. He spends too much time on those computer games anyway.

Well, that didnt work. The meters stuck at 77% yet actually fully charged. I do like the tethering and hot spot capabilities of the new ROM though.

As far as charging, the factory ICS ROM was working fine until a few weeks ago. My wife and sons blazes work fine with the factory ICS ROM.

The external and internal sdcards work in every JB ROM that's currently available on xda for the blaze. The reason you can't find them is user error, not the ROM. Solid Explorer makes it really easy, but if you just want the file path to both its /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/external_sd
Try 'su cd /mnt' and then 'ls' in the terminal emulator or with adb shell and they'll show up. Then you just have to learn how to use your file explorer software of choice.

My phone ( Blaze 4 G 4.04 ) only charges to 75% . Tried every charger imaginable and Ive changed batteries with new, calibrated as best as I can with not 100% showing etc. My problem is that the 75% is actually 100% charged. I pull the battery out and put it in my wife or sons identical Blaze 4G and it shows 100% on their phones. If I charge a battery to 100% in their phones and put it in mine it shows 75% . Battery fresh off the standalone charger shows 75% . I havent found a way to change the calibration of the meter and Ive tried ALL the battery calibrator apps. The problem is that when the battery discharges towards the low range I get the warnings etc even though the battery is actually still half charged. Ive tried everything and no calibrator apps do a damned thing to the meter itself. I wiped the phone with the factory reset this morning and still 75% after the phones been on the charger all day.

Did you ever find a solutions (or explanation) for this? I"m having the exact same problem, and have tried rrrrvrything to fix it. Infuriating. Mine stops at either 20% or 75%.

Nope. Tried every operating system under the sun and every sort of reset method there is. Different batteries, chargers etc. Nothing worked. Boat anchor. Sporting a S4 now.

It is the battery? Did you try changing it?

changed everything a few times including the battery. Most it will get out of any battery under any condition is about 3 hours. Thats with zero programs running and no use or screen activation. Most any battery will charge to is 75% and they start dropping like a stone once charged. Right now it just stays on the charger as my garage music player.
