Well, something interesting just happened with my CM7. I've beed running it for 4 days and it has been a completely different device (for the good). But 30min ago everything started force closing (3G Watchdog, Gmail, G+). I tried to reboot but then completely stuck. It couldn't move past the LG screen (just turned off). It wouldn't even boot into CWM. Then I realized if i kept the power button pressed, I can work my way through CWM. As soon as I released it, it will turn off. So I managed to wipe cache and dalvik from there and all of the sudden everything is back to normal.
At first I thought I lost EXT4 journaling, but just checked and it's still there. Did anyone face something similar? This was completely weird and freaky. I'm glad everything is OK.
never had such a problem or heard of it before. i know that when i flash a new build without wiping cache and dalvik my phone is very unstable. also a complete wipe and advanced restore data does wonders.

I wiped/factory restored before flashing CM (4 days ago). I noticed someone mentioned something similar (force closes and such) in the CM nightlies thread. I managed to check what was the reason of force closes (before I couldn't even boot) and every time it was because of SQLite error. Seems like apps weren't able to access their database files (which are in /data I suppose).
It really looks like a standard boot loop which happens sometimes after a installing a new build, but this was just out of the blue. Will see how it behaves in the next few days.
I just installed CM9 via the Novacom2 method. The tablet seems to reboot itself after a few minutes of being booted up for no apparent reason. I can start up the device, and not even touch one thing, and after a bit it will self reboot.
Anyone experiencing this? Should I do a reinstall? Novacom2 method, or a complete factory reset with CWM?
CM9 runs extremely smooth otherwise, but I can't have it up for more than 5 minutes with a self reboot. It's bizarre.
Thanks in advance people...
I meant ACMEInstaller2 where I wrote Novacom2 ....
The only time I got random reboot is if I try to overclock. I went to replace CWM with TWRP today, and checked in CPUspy something quick. I had 36 hours of up time (remember this only dropped 4 days ago). Initially I tried to OC, even only going one step up I got freezes, and reboots. But leaving it at stock frequencies I have zero stability issues.
I would say to start fresh. With a fresh downloaded copy. Go into CWM and wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache, advanced > wipe dalvik, mounts > format system, data, cache, then reinstall, and install the charge fix. Then don't restore anything, and see if that fixes it.

that may be the route I go. After about 15 reboots it is currently holding steady I have not made any interventions.
As a side issue, I get email notifications but the email app crashes upon opening. Gmail works fine though....

I did a fresh start as above and the CM9 from is running problem free and 10x better than before when I had done the acmeinstaller2 method. Thanks button hit.

Try fixing permissions and wiping up cache from CWM, that fixes the reboots after power-on for me.
It used to do it if I left the screen to go off, but is fine now
I too am having reboot issues, but it only happens when I'm doing something. So far trying to open the Photoshop PS Touch app will cause a reboot, clicking settings in boat browser, etc. It's strange as hell.
I as well get the stock android mail client crashing when opened but its notifacations and gmail all work. I just installed maildroid and disabled stock email and seems to work OK

I have the same issue, but normally when the screen is on, it always reboots when I try to connect to usb storage, I have a galaxy s2 running on stable(nightly had too many bugs). anyone has the same problem?
I usually get reboots when I let the screen turn off due to inactivity. I tried installing TWRP and doing a clean install from there but it rebooted at the setup screen for CM9. I've had reboot issues since I first installed CM9, but its improved a little bit. I did try uninstalling android completely then reinstalling, but still got reboots. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
I think the best thing to do is use ACMEUninstaller to complete remove Android from your TP, then reinstall from scratch. I had reboot issues after upgrading from CM7a2 until I did a complete wipe.
Ok so I'm pretty sure my phone is done for, but I thought I'd see if anyone knew a solution before I go buy a new phone
Yesterday I dropped my phone (which was running Slimbean), but I popped the battery back in and it worked fine. Then about three hours later, it randomly shut off while I was using it, then started going into a bootloop. Occasionally it will start up all the way, but I'm lucky if its on for 10 minutes before turns back off and starts bootlooping again. I got it to boot into CWM, (the first time it shut off while I was in CWM) and wiped everything and reflashed Slimbeam, but it didn't change anything. Any ideas?
Go back in and do wipes on everything but external drive reflash wipe cache + dalvik cache + fix permissions then boot. Let sit 10 minutes before doing g any setup with Google or phone. This allows all drivers to load and configure prior to having more data to configure.

When i reboot after installing CM12.1 or RR using TWRP restore, i am jumping between them trying them out, the system takes 5-10-15 minutes and nothing happens and sometimes it boots. i have to force stop, go into recovery and then wipe cache and dalvik cache then restart and it usually boots in < 2 minutes. is this normal? it happens when i do a restore or after i do titanioum backup restore of my apps and data.
From what I've read in the forms those boot times are correct for a new install. There's a lot of things happening when you first install a ROM.

Right. First boot takes a long time.
Also helps to stick the phone in the freezer in a zip lock bag as it's doing a lot of work and can get hot. I'm not joking. If your phone goes 20 minutes and turns OFF without finishing boot -- the animation ran and ran and then it just turns off, then it got so hot it shut itself down.
That's why I put mine in the freezer. It also shortens the boot time as the phone is cooler and can run faster. The CPU won't throttle down.
Forcing it to stop and and rebooting is somewhat dangerous as something could get corrupted.
thanks
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000. It was giving me some problems with processor speed for sometime. Whenever I was wanting to do a slightly heavy work (e.g. clearing cache, cleaning junk on CM Security etc), it was going into a reboot. Thereafter, I zeroed in on the problem with CM security where it was doing rest everything correctly and was saying that there was too much junk on my phone (which was surprising cos it was scheduled for junk cleaning every alternate day) but as I was 'cleaning junk', it used to restart the phone.
Subsequent to this, i tried to go to app manager and tried to clear cache for heavier apps thinking it might b the reason for it slowing down but even before it could calculate cache and data allocation, it was restarting the phone.
When i tried to uninstall CM Security, it used to trigger the restart again.
Finally, I updated the CM Security to the latest version and as I did that, the phone went into an endless boot loop. Since then I have tried to recover it from the recovery mode through wipe cache partition but no joy. Had rooted the phone about 2 yrs back but I can't find the C-ROM. Can anyone help with the resolution of problem without the data loss from the phone?
