[Q] Nexus One restarts frequently

Hi all,
I've had a problem with my Nexus One ever since I got it.
Whether I use a custom ROM or the stock one, the phone restarts itself 4-5 times a day. However, this only happens when I'm in Bahrain.
I've used my phone in Cyprus and in UK without a problem. I am completely stumped :/
If it helps, I'm currently using CM 6.1.0-RC1 on the following networks:
Bahrain: STC / VIVA
Cyprus: CytaVoda
UK: O2
Thanks

Noone have any idea what the problem might be?
Any suggestion is welcome

It happens to me too.and someone suggest to me to decrease my cpu speed(from setcpu). But i never tried it. I updated to CM 6.1 RC2. and the problem dissapear

Yeah happened to me only once, I was play around with SetCPU and overclocked it way too much. Hasn't happened again since.

Do you have to pull the battery for it to boot after it restarts? That was the case in my situation and it was a hardware issue.

ive seen and heard of certain cell towers that this will happen with. i had a problem with a certain tower when i was using my g1. i called tmobile and explained the situation then they reset the tower and all was good after. corrupt data being sent from them that your phone reacts to(or something like that.

It has happened to me few times, most likely it's caused by kernel.
some people report improved stability after flashed an over-volted kernel (Wildmonks provides customized over-volted kernel)
so you might want to give the over-volted kernels a try

In my case I had a perfectly working Nexus one but I cracked a screen. I paid $55 to HTC and I got a replacement. Now every replacement I get from HTC reboots on any application which used to make my phone warm. CPU test, Tower games, etc... They all cause phone to reboot within 5 minutes. I think it is overheating...
Waiting for 3rd replacement from HTC...

[Q] HTC HD7 Display Garbled ?

Hi guys,
Done the customary search but couldnt see a thread on this, so thought id ask/share.
I have had my HTC HD7 over a month now and i am really happy with it sofar, however every now and again i get the following happen to me (yes its my vid):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kNi23VF60o
Does this happen to anyone else and any idea what causes this to happen ? Probably the 3rd time its happened in a month...
Thoughts as always are welcome!

I think your phone might be broken... just a thought though... I've had mine since launch, running all day, every day, and I've never seen anything that looks remotely like that, or even resembles that it could be occurring...

I never had this problem. You might wanna try a hard-reset first, If it didnt help, you should send it back to service center

looks like a failing display, I would get it replaced by your carrier/htc.

No not broken , it is just a bug somewhere ( I got it to and on 3 phones ,all hd7)
if you restart the phone it is gone for a view days .

I haven't got this issue however I have had some random reboot and had a screen tearing happen once!
These issues have been widely reported and both HTC and Microsoft are aware of it, they are working on an update to fix these bugs however as it's only effecting HTC devices some have questioned that it could be due to HTC having some bad batch of MicroSD cards in their initial shipment of devices.
If this is the case I'm thinking of upgrading to 32GB SD Card as those who have upgraded they have noticed a slight performance increase, so my question is for those who have got 32GB in their HD7, do you guys still have these issues?

got any links? googled htc hd7 display problems and found nothing.

The updating to 32GB does not solve this issue. I previously had this too, but after the upgrade to the new O2 Rom (1.61) and a hard-reset they seem to have disappeared.
Not entirely sure if it was the hard-reset or the firmware though!

since re flashing it with the latest firmware i havnt had it yet; ill wait a few days though.

do a google search on "HD7 Random Reboot" you should see links to various blogs and forums reporting these issues. example: http://social.answers.microsoft.com...7/thread/ef609b5b-757c-4a8b-b3f1-e5aeba3324cb

Where did you download this new 02 ROM 1.61? any links? Never mind found the rom, it seems O2 Germany are quick with their update, I hope O2 UK do the same!

How many people got the same problem after reclaim a new 2X from LG (reboots problem)

As I see, I guess there are approximately 5% of the total amount of Optimus 2X that got problem about freezing screen and reboot itself.
No one can solve this problem unless go back to LG and claim new one.
But, no one can make sure that the new one will not have the same problem again.
Now I am sending my 2X back to LG and wait them to send a new 2X back to me.
I am so worried if I get the new mobile with problem again.
So, I would like to know anybody who already claim the mobile from LG and still got the problem. I would like to know the statistics of the user.

If your guess is right, you will get a good unit with a 95% probability.
Sounds good, no?

Confirmed here in Netherlands people indeed got back a new phone with same issues.....

I got the g2x...and can confirm that my phone is not defective...works great..

I work for a phone compagny and so far i think 5% can be true. But that was before the updates. After the updates nobody (at least with me) came back with complains

i'm still using stock rom with v10b..never face the reboot issues
p/s this phone is really great!!

thank all guys, if I got a good phone at the beginning, I would not feel like this.
I'm in Thailand and I bought this phone on May 7, 2011 for 20,900 baht (~680 USD)
When Samsung Galaxy S2 is released, the price down to 15,900 baht (~520 USD) within a month.
The point is I got a problem phone. That means I can't use phone well along 1 month.
Feeling like I throw away 160 USD to LG for free.

for almost a month i didn't have problems but in the recent time it started to behave strange... today i had my second reboot...
i'm not getting some sms messages at all... however the sender got's message that it was sent... sometimes they call me, but my phone doesn't make any sign of it, but at the other end it is ringing...
kinda strange behaviour, not I am the only one with these calling and sms bugs...
the charging is also crap, somtimes i just charge it, and the charging indicator is tuck at some value, and the phone is really hot... then i restart it, and the value just jumps higher, and a temperature of the phone gets ok...
the charging problem seems a hardware issue... i'm thinking on sending it back... but I don't know what else to buy... this one has all the features i need, sgs2 and sensation are too expensive for me... so i'm hoping that lg will do something in the summer... otherwise i'm sending it back :S

My phone started rebooting recently. Yesterday it rebooted twice and tonight it shut down causing me to miss the alarm.
Before this it went 2 months without any reboots.
Wtf?

Installed anything recently?
Flash 10.3 update maybe?

I just heard an information from Thai webboard.
He said that the warranty of 2X can let the user claim it for only one time.
That means you cannot claim it again if the new one got problem again.
Suck LG

I have no issues either so I can't imagine having these reboots is like.

They said the same thing for the VIP service here in Netherlands. Max 3 swaps, But some people already did swap #4

The price of this model is around 480-550 USD in Ebay... I should try to sell it for a while ago..

Max 3 swaps.. So then you're just stuck with a faulty product forever?
I think it's time for Kassa.

Try to format your external SD. Upgrade to Fr18Rom. If the problem cannot fix. Return the phone to LG. It‘s hardware issue.

I am sure that
- ROM cannot solve this problem
- It MIGHT be Hardware problem, but no clue can confirm this (most of people still believe it's software problem)

I think some buggy apps and buggy kernel let your phone reboot or sleep dead.

[Q] Help! Random Reboots on New Note

Hi,
Got a Note in the UK just last week, brand new, and within two days I flashed it to the German stock ICS update. I can't say that I noticed issues in the first few days, but that could be because I didn't get a lot of time with it.
Since then, however, now that it is all set up and configured, I'm noticing random spontaneous reboots during sleep on the device, anything between every 2 to 6 hours, no warning, just the phone suddenly flashing into life with the model splash screen, followed by startup animation.
Reading around I've followed all kinds of anecdotal cures... I've removed Apex Launcher and Widget Locker, and returned to TWLauncher and stock dialer. I've moved all my apps from external SD to phone internal and deleted App2SDpro. I've cancelled all automatic syncs. I'm not rooted and don't have any iffy software on it.
Does anyone please have any ideas on this?

No ideas?

Since the update mine does exactly the same thing. Sometimes it reboots after every hour or so but then sometimes it happens every 5 hours. Its completely random and has started happening since the ICS update.

Hmmm. I'm wondering if I should do another full install, or if this is a bug that will be absent in the official UK version of the new OS/firmware update.
I wonder if it is somehow specific to UK users?
It annoys the pants off me, because it will happen, then I'll delete a load of software and restart manually, then it will behave sometimes (like today) for 11-12 hours. And then it does it again. And again. I've had 12 hours between reboots from yesterday to today, and then today I've had three in four hours, including one after just an 11 minute interval, while the phone was on standby.
Is there anything that can be a 'variable' on an 'international' Note which might be an incompatibility in one territory but not another?
Sim? Network? Wifi?

I'm in UK, and was on German Ics official until today . Started experiencing fcs on random apps, from what I've read elsewhere that can be the start of a superbrick. I would highly recommend flashing back to stable GB immediately.

Well... We may be seeing an improvement.
When I installed German ICS on my UK Note I did it as an upgrade. So yesterday afternoon I put the note to sleep and then rebooted into hard reset. I got myself a nice clean system and after lots of restoring files and reinstalling apps, I now have a Note that spent all night charging and hasn't restarted itself since 6am. It still could... But hasn't yet.
Something else odd I noticed...
When I first installed ICS (without tweaks, messing, only on stock ROM) and came to install SwiftKeyX for Phone it refused, allowing me only to install the tablet version... This depressed me a little because the skin I use is nicer on the phone version than tablet. Oddly, this time, after the reinstall, the note would only install the phone version of SwiftKeyX, and not the tablet.
Not sure what changed and why, but I can only imagine that something was broke and is now fixed...
Time will tell. I think battery might be a little better now too. And I use JuiceDefender.
If I get a full 24 hours without reboots I might dare to try App2SD again and move some apps to card storage.
So far so good.

Arse. 19 hours later and the reformed Note spoiled itself with a random reboot during sleep.
Back to the drawing board.
So is this a hardware or software fault. Its so new that I could do with knowing... I can insist it be swapped. But am I going to get the same again? Has anyone been able to trap this erroneous reboot in logs or anything? Do we know what it is?
Are there just a few of us, or many? Former would suggest hardware, latter could be software.

I'm having this issue too. We need help here

Mine hasn't rebooted all night while on charge. I would also like to know if there are any logs that can pin point the issue

I would suggest turn it off (be sure, it is turned off)
Remove the battery
Leave it this way for an hour
Insert the battery
Perhaps it would be good idea to go back to your area GB also (following drKetan guides).
I had the same anectodal thing happening with my new note just when i purchased it. After 1..2 days it went grazy. Then it blacked totally out. But just by chance it woke up after resting without battery for a day.
Personally, I think, the cache should be cleaned - BUT i definitely will not recommend a wipe cache in LPY (though it worked with me - but then again, it COULD NOT work with you - and the loss... what a loss it would be). (worked with me - that means it did not brick my phone when i upgraded few days ago and that did not have anything to do with my troubles when I purchased the note (few months ago)).

I'm discouraged that there are either so few people suffering this that we're simply 'on our own' with it, or so many people who have it but have learned to accept it.
It seems preposterous to not have attention to such a big fault.
And I realised that I've seen this before, and have the sneaky feeling that it is a dirty little secret of Android....
I bought an ASUS Transformer last June. It had this issue from day one on Honeycomb. Random reboots at unpredictable times, at least two per day. Over the last 9 months it went back to ASUS three times and each time they 'fixed' something totally unrelated to the problem before eventually telling me that they had no replacement units to give me and were authorising a full buy back - a refund.
I had anecdotal indications that it only occurred when I had an SD card installed. That was my growing suspicion, but I now no longer have a unit to test it.
Other Galaxy range users have been reporting random or looped reboots, and have pinned blame on using an sd card, especially in conjunction with App2SD.
I have an HTC Flyer with an SD card installed, running App2SD, and have no random reboot problems. Its as solid as a rock on stock Honeycomb.
Similarly, though, some users have reported that their Galaxy phone model has random reboots relating to having a sim card installed...
You see where this is going. Its getting to the place where we're accepting that the only way our expensive device works is if we disable key functionality and surrender our expectations of its advertised features doing the job they were intended to.
It is scandalous that this device should malfunction as a result of using the advertised features, and that no fix would be found nor explanation offered.
I now have an SD in the unit, but have not moved apps with App2SD. I have established that the reboots occur with all three of my SD cards of varying sizes, soit is not caused by a corrupt or faulty SD... If it is caused by an SD at all, it is 'all' SD's. Since so many users have the Note with SD's installed, and they run perfectly, I can't believe there is an issue with SD cards, although I did wonder if the manufacturers are now phasing out SD slots in their devices because 'cloud computing' is all the rage, or rather because this volatility caused by SD in the now unfixable evolving Android code means that they are minimising their embarrassment by simply dispensing with the faulty variable.
I have also begun setting static IP's for all my stored wlan's in case this is a DHCP issue caused during momentary wakes from sleep for polling or sync. If only we had an app that could store, like a seismograph, a persistent record of device events which trigger the reboot and then capture the reboot events also. Closest I've found uses ram to store the events log and then blanks the log on reboot starting from the reboot instead of maintaining the record prior to the reboot.
Getting close to wits end with this, and now deeply regretting my purchase.
Nothing like this on my Xperia Arc S.
Even an iPhone is better than this!

Can you direct me to that guide?
And is it likely that it is the DE ICS release that just doesn't like UK devices? Why would that be so?

Looks like i'm going to get stuck with this problem until I move on to a next phone. What a waste

Maybe you should have waited for a stable release built using the UK or wwe equivalent rom? You didn't even give the stock more than a couple of days, what was the rush?!

Maybe, yes.
Naivete, perhaps.
I'll tell you exactly why.
I had an Xperia Arc S on ICS which I loved. I was tempted by the Note. I bought one expecting a Samsung flavored ICS experience, and got tossed back to GB. I basically had 7 days to return the Note or learn to like it, and during that period DE f/w was released and I had to know...
Note was rebooted using static ip's and is nowraring to go...
So far so good @ 18 hours

But if that was when your phone was still new why didn't you just return it for a replacement rather than root and flash a phone that wasn't stable in the first place? For all you know it may be a hardware issue and likely so as I've not heard any apart from you and the op mention it.
Anyway, your phone, your call what you do with it but it makes no sense to me to blame the manufacturer and model when you've not even followed basic steps to deal with an issue.

The first note I had in December 2011 rebooted at random. It was a hardware issue. It only started after owning it for 3 weeks, stock GB. Not roiled or modified in anyway. I had it replaced.

Back button does not work properly

Hi guys,
Ive searched and searched and it seems we do have issues with the back button I've yet to see if it's just a few of us or all of us with this issue. I just gave up my flawless DNA for this phone and I was hoping flashing a Rom with the new ota would fix the issue, That wasn't the case at all. Is it just me or should I just return the phone to att and get another one? In all honesty this would be my first flawed HTC phone.

Hey there,
thank god that it's not just me going crazy. Yes there is a flaw with the HTC One back button. I have experienced it few times after about a week of use. I have not decided yet what to do with my phone, I would rather wait and see if the issue happens again and if it does I am returning mine. As far as my tech knowledge goes and how I experienced it, it looked to me more like an software flaw, since the back button only malfunctioned when my phone was in heavy use.
Cheers,
Blaze

The new 1.29 update fixes that. I'm not sure when it'll be available everywhere. I got it when I installed the Android Revolution 7.1 rom today. The buttons are great now.

Alright thanks guys. I'm gong to give Revolution a spin to see if it works.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Never had an issue with my back button. Phone shipped with 1.29 though.

I have the same problem...let me try 1.29

OK guys, so I went to ATT and replaced my phone... I told the guy that my back button was not working properly and he said it was the first time he had heard that... I said right. I told him to google it, I then also told him about my 2 dead pixels and then he said OK LOL. So far it's flawless well except for 1 dead pixel... will see how that goes lol
