Phone continues to randomly reboot even with new radios

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003891

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.

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.

phone keeps restaring every 30 mins

my phone keeps restarting itself and i was wondering if anyone knew whats wrong, i have the valhalla-blackedition and my kernel is Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix

You may wanna go to the development section and remove gremlins(eg start from scratch) there is probably an issue with you CSC.

First things first - by default - always go into CWM and do three things. Wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions. Then reboot and let your phone sit untouched for around 10 minutes and see how your phone acts. Next uninstall your recently added apps and see if that could be the issue. One by one. It is even a good idea to wipe caches after doing so.
What you described happening is something you would have done to the phone. VB is solid. If you can't undo it with the steps I suggested - then start over as the last poster suggested.
But when you mess with your phone - keeps tabs what you do so that you can undo it and/or not do it again.
And if you can't undo it - be hesitant restoring backed up data from TB or CWM. If you must restore - restore data for apps one at a time and see if your phone acts up so you can try and figure out the problem.

i Wiped cache partition and wiped dalvik cache hopefully that will fix it

i wiped the cache and delvik cache and it was working good and then again out of nowhere it started to keep rebooting randomly, is my only option to use the gremlin remover?? or can i do something more basic to see if it will solve my problem

Bryan (the guy that created the kernel you're using) thinks he and FBis251 may have found the issue with the random reboots. Bryan said it might be a couple of days, though, before we see anything about it.
I updated to the rc3 version of the kernel in the hopes that it would get better but it actually got worse for me. I've done a few steps in the gremelin remover, have flashed & reflashed, but the problem persists. Hopefully Bryan & FB have nailed this thing down and those of us suffering the issue will have some relief

thanks for the reply stephen_w, i will wait till FB releases a new kernel

I would go with the gremlin remover its very easy to use and doesn't take a lot of time it really works it taking out any little problems with the phone.

Don't say that until you have tested it a few days. He released it less than 24 hours ago.

Bryan also stated in the OP for that kernel that it's still beta. There are/will be issues. He said somewhere in that thread that it seems what he and FB did to the kernel did not actually fix the random reboot issue, rather it prevents it from happening. They're working on it for us
I see the battery drain, too. I have to say though, it's better than having the random reboots. It's a "pick your poison" situation for the moment.

I think right around now we're about at stock battery usage levels. It'll be just like when your phone was brand new and had all that bloatware that killed your battery.

How about go back to V0.0.2d which had no issues at all. Just can't do nand backups or restores from it. Also no BLN. It's a solid kernel and it's easy enough to keep it and V2 on the sdcard to flash between. Use V2 when in need of backup or restores. Used V0.0.2d the rest of the time until the kernel issues are resolved. Just a thought.

Battery Drains can be controlled significantly by the User even though some kernels perform better than others. No need to have apps,wifi,etc constantly running unless needed. Useful info @ http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-ways-cut-battery-drain-rooted-android/

When I see these kinds of posts I have to ask. Why did you even buy a SMARTphone to begin with?
If there is issues with battery drain they need to be addressed. Either in the OS or the apps causing the drain. Putting a bandaide (the battery saver apps) on only make the issues worse. Why? Because then nobody reports the problems because they are unaware of the problems because of the bandaide.

Lag Issue, Seeking Help

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.

Fresh install of cleanROM 3.0.4?

So I finally bit the bullet and rooted, unlocked and flashed cleanROM on my TF700. I wiped both caches (or so I thought) but when I rebooted not much seemed to have changed. I guess I was expecting to have to completely reinstall all my apps and settings. However, all of the my apps and icons where right where I left them. Matter of fact at first I couldn't even tell anything had changed until I looked at the "about tablet" section and saw that the build version was in fact cleanROM.
Don't get me wrong, this thing seems to fly now, but I can't shake the feeling that I missed something during flashing. Was there an option I missed or should I have wiped it?
Thanks.

No.

You did it perfectly. :good: CROMI is a stock based ROM and as such you get to keep all your data, apps and settings.The look is stock too
What you do get is root, performance tweaks (memory, zip aligned, cpu, touch sensitivity, dpi), updated Asus and google apps, extra apps installed to system, system apps removed if you didn't select them as well as other tweaks, functionality (swipe JB keyboard, smoother scrolling, faster performance, faster kernel, ad blocking) if you selected them
Make sure you install the 3.0.4 patch if you havent done so already.

I also bit the bullet today, not regretting it so far. Cleanrom is sweet!

Hang on you did install 3.0.3 first right?

Hi
I am really happy too with cleanrom 3.0.4, but there is one little problem. I get random reboots now and than. Can not find a reason for them. Sometimes playn a game, than reboot while reading news site in browser or a mail in anmail app.
Nothing special. Can i give someone any reports or logs so that the problem Can be located?
What are the best ways to try to solve this?
Factory reset? Or using different kernel or something?
Right now:
Tf700 with cleanRom inheritance 3.0.4
Kernel 3.1.10
[email protected] #53
Can someone give an advice?
Thx

How concerned should I be about the fsync issue? Should I worry about data corruption, or the entire os getting corrupted, or just backup regularly and not worry about it?

Which kernal are you using? Fsync Disabled?
Reinstall the rom but choose the stock Asus tf700 kernel. Does it still reboot? Did you update to the jelly bean bootloader from asus first?

I believe I'm using the 1.5... The one below the highest. almost too many options but fsync enabled. Yes I did update bootloader and I will have to reflash later not at the tablet at the moment.

Does disabling Fsync really speed things up? What is the likely hood of things going wrong?

My benchmarks where off the charts! In the 7000's using Quandrant and like 20 seconds using sql light. Also, I noticed transferring files from the memory card to the tablet was much faster.
Even though benchmarks are nice, it's real world performance that counts. The whole reason I unlocked and flashed was because I was tired of waiting 3 to 5 seconds for the apps to start loading when I selected then. Now they start so much faster. Not as fast as my razr hd maxx, but one can dream.

Has anyone noticed if the lag/skipping when playing mp3's from either the sd card or internal memory still occurs after all the tweaks in this rom? Speaking for me, that is my biggest complaint with my device. I can deal with the few extra seconds to open an app but can't stand to hear music skip every 15-30 seconds.

Never had this, even with the stock ROM. This is not normal, check for CPU-intensive or I/O-intensive background processes.

It would also be good to know which music player. I definitely don't have this problem. But what are you doing at the same time as listening to music?

I'd recommend starting off with the stock kernel. It could be that your TF700 can't handle the overclocking. I would also definitely keep fsync enable until you solve the random reboots, otherwise you could end up with some nasty corruption. Personally, other than benchmarks, I didn't notice a difference with fsync enabled or disabled. Even though my TF700 is able to handle overclocking, I'm now back to using stock kernel and the TF700 still performs extremely well with CleanROM 3.0.4. This may change once Clemsyn re-compiles his kernels with the latest Asus sources, but for now, I'd stick with the stock kernel.
Please let us know your results if you do try this.

hmm I'm not doing anything other than listening to the music. I have it hooked up to computer speakers when I exercise at home and work with headphones. I thought this was a common thing and someone mentioned it was caused by moments of lag. I use poweramp as the music player but also experienced it during playback using the amazon music player. I couldn't figure how to tell which folder had my music files in the google music player. It was loading everything like ring tones so I stopped using it.
I went and cleared up the media cache so the system reloads everything. I searched a previous thread and saw that suggested for someone having issues getting their pc to see the files when it was connected. Figured why not try it since I'm having a problem with media files. Rebooted and waited 10min before launching music again. Weird but it seems to have improved. There are still a few moments of lag that I'm noticing but nothing like before. I'm going to keep playing music in the background and see if it gets worse or goes away. Think I will just take the plunge with a unlock and try cleanROM if it doesn't go away entirely.
Thanks

Hang on you are not using CleanROM or CleanROM Inheritance? Why have you posted your issues in this thread then? No wonder we are confused about your issues
Yes the stock Asus rom has many i/o problems. You can solve most of them by installing a custom rom.

I was simply asking if anyone had experienced the issue using a CleanRom install before going through the process. Not trying to troubleshoot or solve it. With many things the rom fixes no one might have realized this being corrected. I will be unlocking and installing the rom soon. I apologize for asking the question and wasn't trying to highjack the original post. Mods feel free to delete my posts.

lag?

just got my oneplus over the weekend and i notice most of the custom roms have alot of lag for me. no matter what mods, tweaks or kernels i flash. the scrolling mod fix did help but i just don't feel the device is very smooth coming from my htc m8. any suggestions or thoughts?

More information about your set up. How and where do you experience lag would help.

My bacon setup. is really fast with zero lag (better than the M8), so I am not sure what setup you have right now that would be causing this...

Scrolling lag. Opening and closing apps. Just overall sluggish. Right now im on mahdi rom with the auxx kernel. Stock speeds. Zen + smartmax. Tried many other roms and configs. Was even worse when i was on the ak kernel. The only roms that dont lag are the alpha 5.0 roms.

Yeah that is really odd, I mean I get nothing but smoothness on this phone with pretty much every ROM I've used, currently on the latest Carbon nightly...

My device also lag so much, to the level when there can be 2 sec delay when I scroll on home screen with nothing open (only Google apps installed). The weird thing is when I first got the device is seems ok, then flashed 5.0 Alpha and then a couple of other ROM like PA 4.4.4 and then back to stock. Now even on stock (100%), I am still getting so much lag it is unreal. Some other issues: sound breaks when watching youtube, and sometimes screen freezes and phone reboots.
