So I flashed 4.2.5 earlier today, and ever since, about every 30-40 minutes, it shows the cyanogen boot screen, and acts as if I just rebooted the phone.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Same here. Was working fine in 4.2.3 but now reboots every 45 minutes or so. No idea why. Don't see any other issues. I don't have compcache or anything else unstable on.
no problem here .did you try re flashing?
While we're at it, anyone else having problems with 3g? If I turn 3g on ( disable only use 2g networks ) my service goes haywire, and I can't call/text/surf/ anything, it's quite a nuisance, not something real urgent, I'd rather get this rebooting thing fixed first.
Edit: Wiped everything and re-flashed, and now it's running smooth as silk
I'm having some really strange issues with my HTC Dream (rooted and running CM 5.0.8 T4.)
The most annoying is that most times when I boot into recovery (RA 1.7.0 - MD5 checked and re-flashed) the buttons and trackball do not work!!! If the phone is left to itself after a few minutes it boots by itself into the OS, but sometimes not, hanging indefinitely at the HTC Dream screen. A battery pull usually gets it to boot properly but not always.
Other problems include spontaneous random reboots' and really irritatingly, a complete failure to wake up (no response from any buttons, phone appears dead but if I've received an email just before then an LED flashes) - have to pull the battery again. When sucessfully booted all the hardware works fine!
I've wiped fully, formatted SD and re-flashed a few times but still the same, this started about 10 days ago after a few weeks happily running CM 5.0.7 (before I tried 5.0.8 T4)
Sometimes the phone will go for many hours/days with no problems
There's no 'last_kmsg' in /proc/ (only kmsg = 0 bytes) and nothing in 'data/dontpanic/'?
What on EARTH is going on?
[edit] can't get a logcat 'cos it seems to always wake up when connected to USB...
Just reverted back to stock (cupcake 1.5) and everything is fine so it must be something on the software side. Odd!
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I woke up today to see my captivate screen showing blank screen (active black screen with buttons lighted up) being unresponsive. It was on it's charger from the night.
I pulled the battery to shut it down. It rebooted. I thought nothing about it until I tried to use it about an hour later.
I have had it on stock Froyo, with no root. Never have flashed any other ROM besides updates through kies.
Problems and things I've noticed so far:
No puzzle lock screen. Can't find it under "set screen lock". Only None, Pattern, PIN, Password available.
Home button and search button do not function(they light up like they are pressed, but not action occurs in any apps or home screen).
No data. Usually i'd see edge or 3g, but I have no data connection.
Text messages wiped. None available through "Messages"(though call log shows history of messages).
Keyboard was on stock android rather than swype(since changed back to swype).
Holding power button only shows "Power off" option. Before there was at least Airplane mode.
GPS was on(I hardly ever use it).
Location settings seemed to be default("use wireless networks" was unclicked)
Most other settings/app data seems fine.

Other related things:
Day or two before I received a text message from AT&T to download Kies and use Froyo(Don't remember exact wording, lost the text message, but something to the effect it looked like a mass mailing text to update to Froyo using Kies). I was already on Froyo(flashed as soon as I found out it was available few months back).
I also got a text message about downloading their at&t app to manage my minutes and pay my bill(also already had that app).
My Captivate would randomly freeze/unresponsive a few times, but I didn't think much of it.
Google Music app seemed to randomly start playing the audio file i paused(just in my pocket, or once when i put headphones in to make a call).
Searching the forums, haven't found too much related.
One thread suggested using "home switcher", which I have tried(both Froyo and regular versions, though can't press home button for Froyo version). Neither seems to know what my default Home App is, but it only sees TwLaucher(I only have TouchWiz).
Tried installing an alternative launcher(ADW,LauncherPro), still no home/search button.
I'm without my computer for the weekend, so I can't backup my files and reset to factory just yet.
Anyone have any thoughts to fix this or know what may have went wrong?
I might finally make the jump to a Custom ROM if it'll fix this.
Yes, you should either flash a custom rom or do a factory reset. I will say an event similar to this, also involving text messaging, is what made me make the leap to Assonance, and then Serendipity, and I haven't looked back.

At the least, try a master reset.
You're not alone....
Two Saturdays ago, I woke up, grabbed my phone to see what time it was and my phone was going haywire. It as blinking, flickering and rebooted on its own a couple of times...without me touching it.
When I DID manage to access the phone after a reboot there was no connection. I couldn't call, send/receive texts, nor could I access most of the features (during one of the haywire moments, the phone popped open my "Gallery" folder and started running a slideshow and then shut down. Again, all without me touching it!) There was a distinct blue circle with a slash where the 3G bars used to be on the top right corner of the phone.
I did a factory reset and didn't help. Wiped everything off the phone, but the device was still going nuts.
I got the phone in mid-December and have absolutely pampered that thing. Never dropped, never scratched, never abused. So I was surprised when I took it into the AT&T replacement center that the lady told me that my battery was wet! Not the phone, but the battery. Those two white-that-turn-pink indicators are so close to each other on the phone that I can't see how one gets wet while the other doesn't.
So they give me a new phone. One thing I noticed right away was that my data usage went WAY UP with the new device. To put it in perspective, I used 100 mb of data in 29 days and 64mb IN ONE DAY with my new phone. I thought it may be a one-time fluke, but it's not. I am only 10 days into my new month and am already at 164mb out of 200mb in my plan. I have NEVER used 164 mb in the 6 months previous, let alone in 10 days.
Fun's not over yet. I noticed a lot of crashes and "Force Closes" with the new phone too. I didn't even have any apps downloaded yet and things were still crashing. Last night I pull my phone out to take a picture and...nope. Screen was all kinds of whacked out and it crashed. And still does now every time I open the camera function. I managed to get in camera mode fast enough to do a reset, but didn't work. The screen is fine otherwise. So looks like I'm back to A&T tomorrow for another round.
I'm glad you posted this, cause the same morning all this happened -- literally, within 10 mins of me waking up -- my computer (brand new - 2 days old) went berserk and shut off and my stereo started flipping channels, turning the volume, treble, bass up and down..BY ITSELF without me touching ANYTHING! It was pretty freaky. I wondered if I was struck by lightning the night before.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
I was finally able to get back home today and do a factory reset. This (somewhat) solved the problem. Everything is mostly back to normal(home button and search button work on home screen, lock screen is there).
Lost a couple of game saves as I had no method to pull a save file(was doing adb pull on some known file locations).
I did run adb logcat before resetting, and home button and search button seemed to trigger something, just not follow through(Search button did work in a card game as a forward button and home button worked in the kies app to exit, just never as a return to home button in apps).
I'll be looking to root and flash a custom ROM, especially root so I can do a proper backup in case anything like this happens again.
I just want to say thank you posting in q&a and doing research before and after your flashing started. Then searched after your problem. You're a new member of a breed that are few and far between. I will hit your thanks when I get on my computer, app doesn't have it. You will go far here.
This started a couple weeks ago when my phone randomly rebooted and had a bsod on reboot. After trying everything I could find, I gave up and did a factory data reset. It brought my phone back to life, and all seemed well in the world. Since then I only installed a handful of programs, nothing new within the past week, and suddenly its back to the bsod on boot. I booted into safe mode and found the screen would stay on, and noticed everything looked normal except the lock and vibrate/speaker images were shifted vertically for some reason, but still no touch response. I tried calling it, and an error message popped up saying homescreen wasn't responding and gave me an option to FC or wait. I FCd, and it let me end the call, but no touch response after that. I tried booting again in normal mode, and tough it stopped updating the screen at the droid eye, when I called sure enough it pulled up the incoming call screen, behind a message that launcher pro wasnt responding. I FCd again and answered the call and it worked, but again no touch response made a difference after that.
I'm thinking at this point I just need another launcher I can install via recovery, be it stock or otherwise. Does anyone have a launcher I can install this way? Itd be a huge help. Thanks in advance!
Hi I have a problem with this phone and it started a month after I updated it to Android 12. Everything goes well at first but suddenly my screen went black but the phone is working because I can hear the sound when I turn off my phone. So I tried ALL the solution in youtube, it works but after a few days the problem is still occur. I tried factory reset, wiping data and cache. One day I decided to downgrade my phone to the last update of Android 11. It works! but sadly after a few days the black screen is on the run again. Is there any way to fix this guys? I certainly didn't drop it or accidentally squeeze it. Help me guys please!!!
We have the same problem but I replaced mine with a new one
