[Q] Lumia 810 started rebooting - Nokia Lumia 820

This phone started rebooting frequently about 30 hours ago. Sometimes it won't power back on right away. Being plugged in makes no difference. It's sometimes rebooted mid-boot. Am on the PFD program. Haven't seen an update applied for at least a few days before this started happening. No new apps. I went through a factory reset earlier today but it's continued to happen in the last few hours. Any bright ideas what I could try at this point?

You can try the hard reset.
You can also try reflash your Hardware Product Code (= origin ROM) with Nokia Software Recovery Tool software.
Careful: The two methods will remove your personal data.

It seems like it's worked itself out. It was happening for about 4 days. I restarted on my own (independent of its frequent self-reboots), factory reset it, pulled battery, tried everything I could and it kept rebooting, until it just kind of stopped. I have no idea what was going on.

I have something similar. I have Lumia 830. With Windows Update 8.1 Update 2. My Reboots are random:
* Sometimes reboots constantly for about 10-15mins.
* Sometimes few reboots and full startup of system.
* Sometimes using for different time periods, it reboots.

Frequent Reboots. Please Help

I have been using Cyanogen for at least the past year. In the past I have had trouble with things like random reboots, maps crashing during navigation, etc. Because of this I switched to just running the milestone releases for the past six months or so, and that has worked reasonably well. Its still way buggier than stock, but I put up with it for all of the nice features and what not.
Lately though reboots have become more and more frequent even though I hadn't changed anything. I had been running M9 for the past month with no real problems and then last night it decided to just go into a boot loop. I tried pulling the battery, clearing the cache, clearing dalvik, nothing worked. Eventually I just let the thing boot loop all night long and when I woke up it was finally booted.
Then this afternoon it did it again for a short period of time (3 or 4 minutes). When it came out I decided to download the newest, M10. It took several tries to actually flash it because the phone would reboot iself while in the middle of the wipe, or the flash, etc. But I started the wipe/flash process from the beginning every time to make sure I had a clean flash and eventually I got all the way through. But now it is at a point where it will boot, sit there for 2 or 3 minutes (I don't even touch it), and then reboot.
I'm hoping someone can help. I'm holding onto my unlimited data for dear life... I don't want to have to get a new phone. But re-flashing doesn't fix the problem so I really don't know what to do.

I don't know why your having such an issue with cm. Which is odd because I'm running a rom that's CM based and works fine. I'd say maybe try another rom if for nothing other than to see if CM is truly the issue.
I praise you for having the unlimited data still, I wish I would be been smarter and kept mine because there are months where I'm a little too close to that sad but lack of data with 2gb
And my hometown is Syracuse NY as I see your city is there. I miss the cuse but not the loudness of the city

Pull a logcat or use a tool like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog to do this for you. then after the phone reboots itself, run syslog and examine the last_kmsg and logcat to see what the obvious errors/issues are.
I too have noticed google maps crashing, camera unable to connect, random reboots, file system errors, sluggishness, etc more lately with my G3 too. Wonder if some aspects of the hardware are failing...

I solved the problem on my S3 with the camera. Freeze the system. Default and run another app, I'm on 4.4.4

You mean freeze the stock camera and use the Google camera instead?
Yea, when the camera is broken, neither app can connect until phone rebooted. Already tried many a time.

These symptoms could indicate a sticky power button. Try knocking it lightly against the corner of a table to jar whatever is making it stick loose.
It doesn't sound software related, especially since it rebooted while in recovery. If you hold the power button down long enough in recovery it will reboot, which makes me think you just have a sticky power button. It's happened to me before.

I think you might be right. Even when it is up and running, I have been noticing lately that I get the power menu popping up sometimes when I wasn't even touching the power button. So last night when it was in one of its constant boot loop fits I took it apart a bit (took the back off, took out the battery sim and sd, and unscrewed the shell) and blew some compressed air all around the power button. It had been rebooting for about an hour at that point and then as soon as I put it back together it came up on the first try. So far so good.

HTC One M8 reset itself?!

The other day, my phone died midway through a call. When I tried to turn it on, the 0% sign showed up meaning it was completely dead. I had to urgently make a call so 30 mins later, I held the power button again, turned it on, and the phone went to the white HTC screen and then turned off. I finally got home and connected to my phone to my charger after. I let it charge for a bit then turned it on. I knew something was wrong when my phone was hung on the red Verizon boot logo for a while. Minutes later, it went past the Verizon logo and a pop-up appeared that said optimizing app 1 of 44. I thought this was odd because I already got the MM update about 2 weeks ago and since it updated, I never saw that message ever until now.
Once my phone gets past that and finally boots to the homescreen, I realize that a lot of things have gone wrong. First, I got signed out out of all my accounts (Whatsapp, Spotify, Instagram, Facebook, etc). On top of that, my call history was cleared, all my text messages were cleared, and all my contacts that were saved on my phone storage were gone. In addition, I also had to re-update a lot of apps including the HTC ones that you have to upon the MM update. Finally prior to those whole thing happening I had 10.7gb of free space. After this episode, I lost exactly 1 gb of storage and only have 9.7gb free.
I don't understand what could have caused this or why I lost all this data on my phone. Moreover, it doesn't seem like anything was deleted but my phone is just not reading anything that was already there.
mine just did this exact same thing after shutting off from a drained battery. It's like the data partition or whatever got wiped. Right now trying to log back in to everything and set EVERYTHING back up again. This sucks.

i came here for the same thing. mine happened around the same time. only thing i can add here is that my storage is almost maxed out on the phone. makes me wonder if that had something to do with it. but then this happened to two other people around the same time. very weird.
The exact same thing happened AGAIN! I was at the gym listening to music and texting some friends while my battery was at 15%. Went from 15% to 10% in a matter of mere minutes and then from 10% just shut off. Couldn't charge it until I got home so I just kept it in my pocket. Got home about an hour later, put it to charge and then turned it on when battery hit about 10%. Same damn thing, got stuck on the Verizon boot logo and then the dreaded Optimizing Apps message showed up. Once it finished, I was logged out of all accounts, updates to system apps were gone, and widgets/BlinkFeed were gone/reset. And just like last time, suddenly 1GB of storage was gone.
Literally un-freaking-believable. I dreaded that it would happen when my phone shut off and yep, my fears were right. Going to do a factory reset once I backup everything. From there, I am debating whether to replace the battery or replace my phone. While it sucks that it happened to you guys as well, I am somewhat glad its an HTC issue and not just an issue with my personal phone.
Same thing happened to me at 40%
This was recently brought up in the viper rom thread, could be of help.

Your battery needs to be reset. Hold down POWER + VOLUME (can't remember if it was up or down. takes about 10 seconds)and let it keep resetting and keep holding it for 3 minutes. then let go.
It'll fix your battery so that it drains to 0 instead of 13, but it doesn't fix the weird pseudo-reset problem. It's a known issue and many people are struggling with it. My advice is to set EXTREME POWER SAVER to auto-on at 10%, and if you ever see it that low, just turn it off yourself until you get a chance to charge it.

Same thing has been happening to me since the MM upgrade. Before that I had NO issues with my battery so I find it hard to believe that my battery is the problem.
After the third time of this happening I finally decided to to a factory reset. This did not help, phone continues to die anywhere between 15% - 30% and revert some of my settings back to stock.
This is driving me insane as I rely on this phone for personal and work use.
Decided to call HTC support today, I did not expect a solution but wanted to make sure it was reported. Of course they had no idea and claimed to have never heard of this issue.
I am guessing that since the M8 is over two years old we wont be seeing and fix pushed out for this issue. I really like my phone and dont want to upgrade at this time.
Finally somewhere where people are actually having the same issue. I've tried factory resetting the phone, doing a fresh install of the OS (with firmware recovery tool) all with no avail. I note lose all my settings and app configurations every time the phone dies, shuts down or restarts. I hope there's a fix, otherwise it looks like a custom rom is the only way.
Has anyone tried wiping the dalvic cache? I can't get into the recovery on my phone so I can't try it, but heard I it might help.
Had the same issue last week
I was at about 20%, phone shut down. I plugged it in to charge, went to boot it up, and it got stuck on the Verizon bootup screen.
I waited a while and did a hard reset, and it came back on, but was completely wiped. So I had the same problem, which is a real pain, because I use the GOOD app for work, and each time that re-installs I have to get a new PIN. And I have had to re-install the app a few times in the past month for a variety of reasons...

I feel your pain. I use Mobilepass for work and every time my phone resets it deletes my token and I have to request a new one.....
Here is what I did two days ago that seems so far to be working for me. I calibrated the battery. I have tried this in the past but could never get the calibration to work properly. Each time I tried I had the phone plugged into the charger. This time I didnt and the phone went through the battery calibration process like it is supposed to.
Since I have done this my phone will stay on until it gets to 8 or 9% and then shut down but when i charge and turn back on all of my setting are still in place.
To calibrate the battery I held the up volume, down volume and power button (all 3) for a full 2 minutes without the phone being plugged in. During this time the phone will start and get to the HTC splash screen then shut back off, start again to the HTC splash screen then shut off, repeat, repeat, repeat.... after 2 minutes release the buttons and let the phone boot up, plug it in and let it charge to 100%.
I hope this helps,
This happened to me today. I let the battery get a little lower than usual last night, around 13% before shutting it down and plugging it in for the night. Turned it on this morning and it booted up normally. Didn't lose any apps or data, but every time I did something on the phone it gave me those little hints like its a brand new phone. I went to settings and it says it was factory reset at 6:46 a.m. this morning (about the time I turned it on).

Did it reset your ringtone and notification tone settings? Thats what it always has done to me.
I would just like to say that the same thing happens to me as well on my HTC one m8. Battery suddenly dies, now even at 25%, even after a calibration which is just a temporary solution, and when I turn the phone again, SwiftKey settings erased, everything went to stock, messages and contacts are preserved, but the apps start updating itself even though they are not allowed to and I have to manually set a lot of things. It is a total confusion and I literally can't believe HTC allows themselves to not issuing a fix for this disaster.
Was it cold?
Same issue. With mine it seems to be when it gets cold. I was skiing today in 20F but inside my pocket this really shouldn't be an issue. It has turned itself off and refused to restart several times when it has been used to take pictures in cool weather (I live in western OR, it doesn't get COLD, by cool I mean <35F but >20F, usually > 25F). This is the third time it has totally screwed up the phone when it has happened. On another occurrence it reset under normal conditions too. I'm getting pretty sick of it as it is quite a process to get all my VPN tokens reset, get all the apps back etc. Of course it waited until the warranty was out to start acting up.
This time is especially bad, the phone will not restart properly and important processes just constantly flag as stopping so that I can't even get past the initialization screen. It looks like I will have to do a full factory reset. If anyone from HTC is reading...Not acceptable and I won't be buying another phone from you.
Unfortunately I've reached the point where I wouldn't be surprised if it is a programmed planned obsolescence function, but whether or not, this is really annoying behavior.
Sorry to hash up an old thread but I put up with this crap for 5 months before I finally punched and broke the screen out of rage during an important business tech support call when I was at the clients location trying to service their security equipment, it was so embarrassing having to tell them I have to come back especially since it was a remote location.
Mine would wipe contacts, texts etc regularly. I ended up installing Super backup or something and saving my backups on google drive and just restoring everything everytime it happened.
I decided to fix up the phone and replace the battery, broken charging port and smashed screen and unlock bootloader and root but flashing superSU didnt work, got stuck in a bootloop. Anyways through all this I wiped all the caches (including Dalvik cache) flashed the correct stock rom and did the battery calibration and that seemed to have solved the random shutdown and memory leaking issue.....but I guess I wont know for a while.
I have a HTC One 610, and like every once in a while it well automatically reset it self whenever I am in the middle of a text message, on facebook, or even sending an email on phone. Its getting annoying when my cell reset its self.
what needs to be done to it? and should I do.

try a factory reset
I know its old but people are having the same issue still so I'm gonna paste this everywhere i find this problem.
There is a Modified stock rom named "Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_53.1" and its almost the stock M8 without bloatware and so much more stability improvements. So hear me out and flash it with a custom recovery (i did it with twrp) and it seems to be working fine so far. Give it a go before you trash your -still so good- phone to the open seas.
Well, this issue is still happening. my phone has been doing the same for about a week now. ive made several attempts to reset the battery and had to reinstall back ups every time its happened also. the only difference i think now is that its happening at 90% instead of the usual 15%. ive been following instructions to hold volume up, down, and power (with the phone off) for about 2 minutes and then letting go. i have my extreme power saver set to come on at 15% but Im not even getting that low before it shuts off and resets. i have however noticed that recently that if you plug the phone on charge after it first dies you can avoid the phone resetting.. this may be a fluke but its allowing me to deal with the battery problem now without the loss of my data, contacts, etc.
This is exactly the reason why HTC One M8 is the last HTC phone I will ever purchase. Imagine the hassle of phone factory resetting on its own. Horrible.

Is it completely bricked? What should I do?

So I bought this Huawei Mate 8 and to be honest I really loved it, it's the best phone atm imo. And it's pretty expensive in my currency. I've owned the phone for a couple of months now, 4 months I'd say. And just 12 hours ago, problems started.
It all started when I attempted to use the fingerprint scanner and my phone randomly restarted. Huh, I ignored it. But it happened again when I tried to open settings. It'd crash randomly on random actions. But it almost always crashed when I tried to open settings or use scanner. I removed my SD card and then it worked fine for a couple of hours, then it restarted again.
And sometimes it restarted many times over to the point where I'd think it's boot looping. But it'd eventually start. I reset the phone hoping it'd fix the problem if it's software related. But it always restarted right before I could enter my Google account to start the phone. But it reached it's eventual death. It crashed again but it didn't restart this time. I tried connecting it to its charger, but no response and no heat at all, not even in the charger's adapter. And my laptop didn't detect it at all.
What should I do now? This phone is new and expensive. I'm very careful with my devices and it's in a perfect condition. The only incident with it was when my selfie stick got too tight on the power button for like 10 seconds then I took it out. That was the same day the issue happened, so I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence. Anyways please tell me what I should do right now, and yes, the phone is still in warranty but I doubt they'd change it for me, their customer service is **** where I live.
Update
A couple of hours later, it was completely and utterly dead. I tried to press the power button and it turned on, it froze on the Huawei logo for like 3 minutes then it restarted again. It's acting really random right now, random restarts and then completely dead, then alive again...
Update #2:
I hard reset again and it's working pretty fine for now, I'll update again soon, but I strongly doubt that the problem is gone.

Is my OPO dying?

Hello, everyone.
I'm using an OPO since october 2014 and I had no intention of buying a new phone in the near future. But now I'm worried about it.
Abouth three weeks ago, my phone started to freeze and reboot. At the time I was using sultan's latest ROM. I thought the problem was the latest updates and, as I wanted to test Nougat, I decided to download Lineage.
To my surprise, I kept having random freezes and reboots.
While reflashing ROMs and changing kernels, I had some reboots. Yes, self rebooting while on recovery.
So I decided to get it totally back to stock and re-start fresh.
Phone froze and restarted on COS initial config. And, after that, rebooted again when updating Gmail apps.
During these three weeks, it kept on with no reboots for, at max, around 40 hours.
Is there any way I can test my phone to determine if it's a hardware issue? It all makes me think it is. :/
Any clue is welcome.
Thanx.

Get your device checked at a local shop. Looks to me like a battery or logic board issue.If it's battery then you can get a replacement but if its logic board then yes,you should consider buying new device.

I'm fairly sure that there is no local shop that could check it.
Right now, before checking this thread, I let the battery completely drain and now it's on the wall recharging. I'll enter recovery when it's 100% charged and do a factory reset. Then install everything back and use it for a few hours.
Let's see it that helps.
Thanx for the reply.
- phone battery completely drained
- phone battery completely charged
- booted to recovery and factory reseted
- initial COS configuration done without any freeze and/or reboot
- updating Google Apps
So far, so good.
And it rebooted twice, during apps update.
Although it updated main Google apps, it was not supposed to reboot.

Hmmm...if random reboot but able to boot normally afterwards then you need to tweak the kernel a little bit but if is random reboot and then stuck at 1+ logo or bootanimation then your battery is dying....
to check whether the battery is dying just wait until next reboot...if it stuck on 1+ logo or bootanimation, turn off the phone completely then plug in the charger...it it charge for 5 minutes in offline mode then turn it on while the charger still connected...if its boot normal then it is confirmed that the battery is dying...replace a new battery as quick as possible...
I've been living with random freeze+ automatic reboot since COS13 it's a PITA but doesn't cost me anything to wait 1min until full reboot, only problem are lucky patch on boot which take longer but nothing that bad. I was never able to troubleshot the issue, usually happens to me when I receive some notification I see the LED and try to unlock but the phone stays blacked out (even though it's clearly on since notifications are shown on the LED) until I force reboot.
Over the years I tried insane amount of ROMs and kernels, nothing changed, adding to that the fact that 10% of the times when i put it in charge (original charger+cable) says 7h or 6h until full charge (and I actually have to wait all that time), I just have to unplug and try again until it fixes. It's not the charger because I tried it with other phones, so I started to assume my problems are the small board with the charging board + battery. But I never had the willing to change it. I'm "fine" with how it works.

It does not get stuck. At times, it reboots during boot. Some times (rarely) it does that for two or three times and then turns off. But most of the time it freezes, reboots and I can use it normally for hours and hours.

I'm "almost" fine with the way it works for me. As most of the time it's fully operational.
I found a OPO with damage screen for sale here. He guy didn't want too much $ for it. I bought it and will receive next week. Will try to swap logic boards.
Let's see what happens.
Was able to have logcat running when the device froze (during game) and rebooted.
Is anyone able to see any error on the log that could make the device freeze and reboot?
Got the broken screen OPO two days ago. Yesterday my phone was impossible to be used. Rebooting like hell.
I swapped logic boards and all is fine. No freezes and reboots (of course, it's pratically another phone). I kept only my screen, housing and battery.
My logic board had a 2.5 sticker on it. The one I got now has a 2.1 sticker. Does anyone know what's that about?

Constantly rebooting

For about 5 months my phone will randomly restart. It doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason as to what app I'm using when it does it. It started just once in a while, then a few times a week, to every day and then multiple times a day. About 3 months ago I cleared the cache as my first "fix." Didn't work. About 1.5 months ago, I hard reset my phone, but restored my settings. I thought that worked, but less than a week later, the rebooting started again. So then last Thurs, I hard reset and did NOT restore any settings and basically set my phone up from scratch. the next day, my phone reboot, and every day since and today when I woke up my phone on the charger was off and wouldn't turn on (with 100% battery on the screen) until I essentially "soft reset" it. It has since rebooted 2 more times today.
I have a lot of apps on my phone, many that aren't used regularly. Booting into safe mode is the last suggestion ATT had but how in the hell do I figure out what is causing the problem??? Also, has anyone else had this issue and waht was the reason and solution?
