Old phone died, so after getting a new Pantech Marauder (Verizon) on ebay everything was working well. Then I decided to update to Jelly Bean because... why not! There didn't seem to be any major problems posted online.
Well, now the phone constantly reboots for no reason. The phone isn't rooted and is all stock. Only a small handful of apps are downloaded. Any ideas/advice?
So far I've tried battery pulls, restarting the phone properly and resetting the phone.
Thanks in advance!
The phone is still rebooting randomly, but the reboots have become so fast that you can barely tell now! All joking aside though, it's still kind of annoying. Haha. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Damn this thing is buggy as hell. Can't wait for CM7 to be stable and useable, I really hope it kills all the bugs.
Yesterday i suffering from awful lag and unresponsiveness for some reason, I tried a shutdown, and it hung forever at the Goodbye screen. I did a battery pull, and when I booted up again it gave me a "Checking system settings...." message at the LG screen I had never seen before. After 10 minutes it booted up completely factory reset !
I was running stock ROM, rooted with the pre-dexopt patch.
So for next few days I'm just going to run the stock ROM rooted but without any apps or pre-dexopt patch just to see how it behaves.
This is definitely not as solid as my Nexus One, starting to wonder if I should have just gotten the Nexus S instead.
thats weird. yesterday morning i did a reboot with stock rom, and it showed me the same thing at start, but i guess it didnt feel the need to torture me because it just booted up like normal after that
Did you hold volume down while rebooting? That is what the stock recovery does.
I have had the phone for 1.5 weeks and it has froze or rebooted itself about 10 times.
Oh, and I am one of the ones with poor battery life also.

Nope i didn't. That's the strange thing.
This also happened to me. After outputting video to my tv, phone became laggy and shut it down. Turned on the phone without holding down any of the vol buttons and it said "system checking". Now it's stuck in a boot loop. Returning phone; this is my second phone. LG does not have great quality control.
The same thing happened to me. I turned the phone off and then turned it on and it reset itself. I started a thread on the LG forum about it.

Well there's your variable. Did you not see all the bugs popping up in that thread?.. Sure it certainly may not be that but to claim that the phone itself is buggy when there is clearly an outside variable affecting your system.
I more than less think that with all the bugs the g2x has straight from the box, what the pre-dexopt "patched" could very well be something LG was trying to cover up. Opening the floodgate to further problems (as reported in the pre-dexopt thread).
I just had a reboot and this time it gave me factory reset on my widgets....

I had similar problems when I got my G2X, but installed LauncherPro, made it the default launcher, and Bingo, lagging and freezing gone. No problems since. Good Luck.

So I recently got a refurbished charge after bricking my original (reflashed to stock, boot looping, nothing posted here worked, store reps confused, I played dumb...) and noticed quite a difference in the way my new charged worked. On my original, even before rooting and stuff, I would get a lot of random resets and freezes especially during navigation. It also got really hot often. Since I got my new charge, I have yet to have a random restart what so ever and this one gets nowhere near as hot as the other. Could this mean my last phone was defective?
I ask because I originally tried to have them check it, but because they couldn't "reproduce" the problem in store, they were unable to help me. Your take?
Yeah, it happens. That's why they'll just send you a refurbished one without too much hassle.
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyCharged 2.0

I'd say so... I ran stock until Gummy FE 2.0 was released and didn't have any of the problems you describe. Maybe one or two total random resets, the occasional freeze, and I don't recall a time when my Charge ever ran hot.

Hi
I have a problem with my Galaxy S2 where it's in a constant reboot loop and the only way to stop it is by taking the battery out.
I'm sure that if I do a factory reset it'll go back to normal.
The problem is, I can't back anything up because as soon as the phone boots up it restarts.
Is there ANY other way to back up my photos and videos etc?
I have NOT rooted the phone
Cannot find any solutions online
I'm currently having this problem too. A couple of days ago it kept rebooting in a loop. I took the battery out and left it for a while, then let it charge. It seemed okay afterwards. Now today it keeps rebooting, and the past couple of days it has refused to charge the battery because apparently the battery was "too hot or too cold" (don't quote me on that) so I'm very confused. Just now though the battery was about half-charged and it still went into the reboot loop.
Something else you should know is that like the OP it has the stock OS on. It isn't rooted or modified. I don't want to factory reset it because I have spent so much time customising it (with apps) and it would be a pain in the ass if the problem still existed afterwards. One thing I must ask the OP is, did you recently get a 64GB MicroSDXC card for your S2? I ask this because I did a couple of weeks ago and it's been working fantastically and was said to work fine with the S2, but I'd like to explore any possible reason this reboot loop is happening.
Thanks.
Edit: To confirm I deleted the cache and this didn't help. I don't want to hard reset...
I've just done a factory reset - I hadn't realised that it only affects my apps and not my files.
The phone is ok now.
Hello all, I have an HTC Arrive running LEAD's 7.8 8858 ROM. I've been running this rom since January with very little issues. However, within the last couple of weeks I have been noticing strange things going on with my phone. Some mornings I have woken up and left for work and notice my phone is almost dead, even though I remember plugging it in the night before. Also, as of this week, after a reboot of my phone, the Call button shows Home Service instead of Sprint, but eventually changes over to Sprint. At times I will go to use my phone and see it has put itself in Airplane mode or has a locked sim card logo displayed instead of signal bars. In this case I have to reconnect to the network to regain functionality.
Now as of last night my phone is constantly rebooting while charging. I plugged it in last night and kept hearing a buzz (I keep it on vibrate), looked at the phone and it would be booting up. It fully boots to the Start screen and I can go ahead and begin doing something, but no matter what I'm doing it just shuts completely off without even saying Goodbye (literally). It continues to do this until I unplug it, and it ONLY reboots when plugged in. I've tried a battery pull a couple of times but to no avail. Its getting very annoying because it takes much longer to actually charge, and I also don't imagine this is very good for the phone itself.
I was planning on flashing LEAD's latest release to see if it fixes it, but I'm not sure if the phone will react this way plugged into the PC as well. I haven't plugged in to the computer yet to find out, hopefully it won't do this, else I won't be able to flash it.
Any ideas or suggestions? Has anyone else had this issue?
well i plugged into the pc and it still reboots however, when in the tricolor bootloader it does not reboot! so with this discovery i now know that its a bug in the OS causing the reboots. also, because its not rebooting in the bootloader, i should be able to reflash without issues, correct?
as a side note, the phone got VERY hot last night while left in to charge, so i will just charge my wifes phone and swap the batteries so that i wont damage my phone.
no one else has reported this issue with this ROM as far as i can see, only random reboots.
Sorry to hear about all those problems. Have you tried the latest ROM after the 8858 release? I suspect there could be some sort of corruption in the OS. If you haven't, I recommend biting the bullet and just restoring the phone. I also recommend flashing the latest ROM, since it has the latest OS version. If the phone isn't having problem when in boot-loader mode (tri-color screen), you should be OK to flash it.

thanks for the reply lead! i am going to flash you latest release now. i am going to look for an alternative way to backup pictures outside of Zune and the PC, but i dont think any exist.
i will post back when its up and running.
i flashed the 8862 ROM and its been plugged in for about an hour with no reboots
plus, this ROM feels snappier than the 8858. an issue i used to have with IE, that is gone in this build is it would open Google every time i click the IE tile.
thanks for the help leadpoizon

No problem. Glad your issue is fixed now.
Ok so I am no longer having the charging or battery issues anymore, but now my Marketplace is basically broken. When I can manage to begin a download it immediately goes to Attention Required, and upon clicking i get error code 8000ffff. So no apps will install/download from Marketplace. Also, on almost every game and app, it says this app is not available for your device, even ones i used to use on 8858. Some i have even manually installed and they work fine. Also when trying to even view many of the games in the Marketplace, I get error 805a0194. So far I haven't managed to install anything from the Marketplace aside from the Bank of America app.
I have tried resyncing with Live, rebooting the phone, tried changing Marketplaces and settings with the Marketplace Config app. Nothing fixes it
Any suggestions?
No one?
I'm beginning to think 8862 is to blame. I keep getting service unavailable errors from MP, or everything is not available for my device. I don't want to hard reset, but it looks like this isn't going away on its own. :/

Sorry, I've moved on from this device, so I can't test anything now. I never had any issues like this on my device and I used it extensively for a long time after flashing that ROM.
Hey people!
I've had my Ace Plus for a while now, and there's one problem that's getting on my nerves. A year or so ago, I rooted the thing, and then accidentally updated the OS- causing it to be soft-bricked. I fixed that by following one of the many guides and reinstalling android, and it works perfectly now- except for the random moments where it reboots without warning, sometimes more than once per day, sometimes not for a week, when I'm using it, but also when it's just sitting there or on the charger. Especially the last is annoying, since it will not reboot but just show the battery status if charging.
Seeing that the problem started after I bricked it that first time, I don't think it's an app that's causing it. I've tried 'unbricking' it a few times (always following guides). I also tried underclocking it (no result) and I even tried running a logger overnight a few times, which also didn't manage to catch the reason for the reboot when it did happen.
I did repair my sister's bricked phone once by not only flashing the PDA file, but also the bootloader, csc, modem and pit file. Is that what I need to do with mine? If so, where do I find these?
I still see it as a fine phone, and even though I'm ready to go get a better one, I was wondering what else I could try to find out what is happening/stop it from happening.
Thanks in advance, even if it's just for reading!
