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.

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."
has anyone else experienced tinny speaker with the following rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285663&page=55
i had v10. and understand this has been covered. I did a search and found a zip file which apparently fixes it. it didnt work for me
this is an ext4 rom
Appart from that everything else was fine.
The i loaded a sense 3.5 rom which fixed the speaker issue, but now i get very bad laggyness after a couple of days. for example when typing a text or on the net the keyboard vibration will not work, then all of a sudden will vibrate like crazy for a few seconds.......
any one else have these issues?
If you are experiencing lag with that rom, then something is definitely not right with your install. Have you flashed any mods? Even though the rom does a wipe at install, I recommend wiping dalvik, data, system and reflashing the rom. If you restore from an app like Titanium Backup, or such, do not restore any apps and/or data that are system.

When I install a Rom I wipe the cache, then install from zip. How do I wipe dalvik? I did have titanium backup and restored apps from there so I will delete it and see reflash the Rom.
Ano other recommeddations??
Regards,
Peter.
This is what I have been doing during testing and have been getting some good clean flashes. After booting into recovery, go to the wipe/format menu, wipe davik cache, then wipe cache, then wipe data/factory reset, then flash rom. When restoring from TB, restore user apps only.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
Ok I removed Titanium from my phone, cleared cache, cleared davlik data, installed zip from sd card. Rebooted phone AMD set up as usual... Phone was awesome again for first few days... Last night typing on the internet and keyboard began to lag, vibration feedback doesn't work then all of a suddden phone vibrates like crazy as if it catches up........
I can turn phone off and on again and it will be fine for a day or so but then does it again....
It's like its running out of ram or some sort of memory... But in task manager I never uses more than 450 Mb out of 621mb....??
Could it be my actual phone??
*and not AMD.
With this additional info, it is sounding more like hardware. However, I wouldn't be so quick to blame something with the phone itself. Many times, I have found batteries that are going bad to mimic memory issues. I wouldn't rule that out.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
Apparently its known issue with other phones.. http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus/144354-typing-lag.html
Sounds like memory leak to me.
But I watch the memory and it never gets excessive. Apparently the spell check and vibrate overload the phone.....
Also I should be rebooting every second day ( recommended by developer). And when I reboot it comes good... So I may just have to keep doing that...
What is causing the issue with that different device is not necessarily what is causing the issue with your device. There are different issues that can cause keyboard lag.

Two questions:
Is it only me who uses vibrate feedback? If not does anyone else have this issue?
And is it worth me reverting my phone back to stock to see if the problem is still there?

That's really the only thing you can do to rule out a hardware malfunction. If it is a hw malfunction, you will need it that way for warranty anyway.
Hey Everyone,
Hopefully you have time and can answer this for me. About a month ago I downloaded the very first alpha rom of CM10 for the S3. Installation went fine and all but GPS was totally screwed up. Well a few roms later and updates to Google Maps its still not locking on to my position, even with WiFi on like someone suggested but wasn't needed before I began flashing so many roms lol. I've been using GPS toolbox and GPS status to get locks but it doesn't hold. It will stay locked then lose it a minute later where as when I didn't mess with roms and was on stock it would be fine and be able to see my phone from anywhere. Right now I'm looking at it as I type and it says GPS on in green on one of the apps and 8 in view and 7 in use but its still blinking constantly and the accuracy is at 500 feet sometimes more which is totally unacceptable. Used to be within 40 ft or less than that before something totally screwed with my GPS. I'm really desperate now Max because I use my GPS to get around town as I have a horrible memory but don't want to take it back to Verizon to get a new one and shell out more money. I've tried a lot of steps up to and including going back to complete stock on the phone to know avail, its still screwed. I've cleared the A-GPS cache and re downloaded it from these apps but its still not 100% perfect where I need it. Would you happen to know what to do to get this thing in working order so I can use it again and not have it lose lock while I'm on the road like its been doing? Maybe if you have an unaltered gps.conf file you could copy the stuff in that file for me and paste it on an email so I can recreate my own and see if it helps. Its under the system/etc/gps.conf if you need to know where it is. I really need help and you guys are the only people that actually knows these phones inside and out that could possibly help me on this. Like I've said, I've tried everything I can think of, using GPS tools on the market, going back to stock, jumping from 3 different roms and even deleting the Google maps and re downloading it and nothing helps, but hopefully you can. Thank you for taking the time to read this long email as I tried to give as much detail to my problem as needed to help you help me.

I have had this problem flashing to. I have found that going back stock fixes the problem. Also do you do data wipes and cache wipes too.

I've already tried going back to stock, and yes I do complete full wipes when going from ROM to ROM. Hence why I am so confused on what to do with my problem.

It never really locked on, it would find a bunch of satellites, then drop them, then find them.......never does completely lock on, even with wifi on. Ive tried everything I can think of too, and even downloaded some other gps fixing tools on the market with no help.
My GPS is fried
I have done alot of troubleshooting and I believe I screwed up my phone. I went from Synergy to CM10 and then to cleanrom. While on cleanrom I noticed my GPS wouldnt lock. So I flashed Synergy (Fully Wiping Of Course) and still no GPS. So I odined to stock and relocked bootloader. Still no luck. I ran GPS fix GPS Status GPS AIDS and GPS test and I am still screwed. My GPS still wont lock. It always says searching for GPS. I left the Navi on last night all night with a destination set hoping it would lock and say the magical words I want to here like "turn left" but instead I woke up to searching... been wiping data and cache 3 times daily tryna get this fixed.
I had gps issues no matter what rom or type of wipe i did. I notice it started after the synergy release where the gps settings were modified and no matter what it never worked again.I reverted the phone completely back to stock and the same thing. I called Verizon and they sent me a new phone, no issues anymore.

No but after I flashed the factory kernel, radio, and rom I went into the recovery and did a wipe/data factory reset. That erased everything I had on the internal sd and set it back to stock. Still didn't work after that.

I know it wasn't directed towards me but I tried that number in the dialer and it did a different kind of factory reset than I've done myself, but the gps on my SGSIII is still screwed up. I've been sitting here for 10 mins waiting for it to find me and still nothing. I really don't want to have to send it back for another one, is there any other numbers I can do on the dialer to do something else? On Google Maps the icon to where Im supposed to be is grey and blinking so I don't think it sees the phone. I do rely on my gps for a lot so its bad that this isn't responding at all.

I didn't have to send it in and wait. I called them wednesday, it got here today (with their free shipping). Then you get 5 days to send in the original phone, they include a postage label and everything. No down time at all. Just make sure you completely set it back to stock before you send it.

Yeah its already back to stock, it seems faster after that reprovisioning but just wish the gps would work. Ill take it in my local Verzion store on monday to see what I can do about this. I just hope I don't get a SGSIII replacement that's already been tinkered with by someone else lol. I think my days of tinkering with phones myself are over since I don't want to go through this again
I also have the gps issues however I didnt restore back to stock.. anyway I bought my phone not directly from verizon I paid almost full retail price would they still take it for replacement or I have to go to samsung?
Samsung. And good luck with that. They are the worst. I had to get my nexus fixed and I sent it in 3 times for repair. They kept saying they fixed it and never did. after the third time i started screaming at them and they sent me a new one. hehehehe
GPS Woes =(

I have the same problem. I was running Synergy at the time I noticed it. It's really difficult to get Maps to lock, and seems to only work after GPS Test or GPS Status first get a lock (which each take up to 30 seconds typically).
I went COMPLETE stock to try fix it; total wipe, locked bootloader, no root, pure vanilla. Still couldn't get lock with Maps.
I'm trying a custom gps config file now to see if that helps.
Really wish someone would figure out what caused this and how to fix/revert it.
The original galaxy s had the worst GPS ever (or later version would initially work but get worse over time), but a dev (jt1334) for the samsung fascinate fixed it after 8 months by changing something in the kernel.
Hopefully some devs familiar with his work could look at what he did and see if there is something similar that could be done on the gs3
Nexus 5 all of sudden stopped working?!
I also experienced it. The damage in wifi module but I did claim the warranty. have you explain what happened to customer service?
Just to offer my input into how I resolved the "Turning Wi-Fi on" message on my Galaxy S4. It seems I had misconfigured the Profiles, so I reset them (Settings>Profiles>Reset), restarted the phone (hard reset) and voila.
There are probably many different causes, but hopefully my method helps someone.
Adding my two cents
"I am having issues with my wifi not even turning on at all on my Nexus 5. It all started after I got a regular 5.0 OTA update. It didn't happen immediately but soon after the update my wifi quit working and I would have to reboot to get it to work. Me working in tech support and having experience with android I tried everything I knew how to do. I started with wiping cache and that didn't make a difference. Then I did a factory reset and that didn't help either. Then I flashed the factory 5.0 image and that still didn't work. Then I tried downgrading to 4.4.4 and flashed that factory image and the issue still persist. Then I put 5.0 back on and just lived with it. Then 5.0.1 came out so I flashed that and still the same issue. I did it this time as a brand new device and wiped everything and just flashed the image and it didn't even try to work. I think it may be a hardware issue but I never had an issue before the 5.0 OTA update."
This is the info I contacted google nexus support with and he didn't have me try anything because he said I already did basically everything. I am OUT of warranty and my only help would be repair through LG which I would rather not do. Anyone else have any ideas on how to fix it or is it a hardware issue?

Hey, actually using last OOS beta 7, facing the same issue since at least ytd.
Glad to see that i'm not alone
I have had that a couple times since the release of 9.0 and with 9.02 both Official, not OB. I try to reboot my phone every 2 or 3 days and sometimes I forget and it seems to happen if my phones up time is above 6 or 7 days.
I just wiped cache, will let u know if it worked or not
OnePlus 6 Rebooting Apps, Black Screen
My partner got her OnePlus 6 brand new one week ago, and just tonight it started experiencing the same problems as the OP described. According to her she updated to the latest OS software on day one, and it all worked as it should for the past six days until a couple of hours ago. It does that reboot-like thing about 8 times an hour right now. We're on the fence on if we should return it to the online retailer as we're on the last day. Reformatting to factory settings didn't fix anything. Hoping someone finds a solution.
Edit: It's a stock OnePlus 6 Mirror Black phone & operating system OOS 9.0.2, using common social networking apps. I just joined this forum and this is my first post.

Hope that continues to work. As for us, we tried wiping the cache an hour ago. It didn't help in our situation. It's currently "rebooting" so much, it's unusable.

Had the same issue since yesterday
Only solution i found was to remove google and whatsapp from beta and to do a hard reset.
Reset solved my problem
Things i tried before reset-
1)Settings reset
2)clear cache
3)restart
Only solution was a reset without erasing internal.
Hope y'all come to the same result.
Still ni reboots since i wipe the cache, looks like it was enough for me... Hope it will
Hard resetting doesn't work in our case. As a last resort, I'm currently trying a OxygenOS ROM downgrade, or if I can't do that, upgrading to Open Beta 7. The latter of which I'm trying, but the phone restarts mid-update constantly. Not even safe mode stops the rebooting during the update.
Let us know if it worked,
Actually had 2 reboots since ystd cache wiped

We had to return the OnePlus 6 before today ended because of the small 7 day store warranty (living in the Philippines). After I couldn't even install the ROMs in Safe Mode because of restarts every minute now, there didn't seem to be anything I could do. Hoping the next OnePlus 6 we get in three weeks doesn't have this issue.
I've had such issues with OB8 & OB9, probably with OB7 as well - can't remember.
Wiped cached many times, changed kernel and so on.
Actually, OB8 was a fresh install as well.
UPDATE
I reverted back to 5.1.11 and then updated to 9.0.2, so far so good. I'll post updates in the next few days.
