here's the behavior of the phone.
- phone always restarts even when i'm not doing anything
- after restart, it will restart again after the loading screen (SE animation)
* this happens about 2-4x before it stays open and usable
- when charging phone, phone shut downs, no powering off phone dialog
- can't start phone after shutdown, phone just vibrates when powered on
- need to remove mc, sim and battery for about 5 mins before it can start
- now i can't really start the phone no matter what.
i've got the phone for 2 months now, and it just recently behaved like this. can someone tell what could cause all these behavior. really need your help guys.
thanks.
x10a or x10i? rooted or normal? what firmware are you running? and what's the last thing you remember doing before these events started to take place?

^Excellent troubleshooting questions
I would also try using a different battery and see if that makes a difference.

x10i, normal, generic phone, R1FA014
from davinciteam -> X10i R1FA014 0001 CUSTOMIZED PH/SENSUOUS BLACK GENERIC
I live in the Philippines
last thing i did:
if you're referring to this:
- phone always restarts even when i'm not doing anything
* this happens when i'm just browsing the contents of the phone. not using any app or file manager. just looking what apps i've got through the pull up menu, the properties of the phone. basically nothing that important
if you're referring to this:
- now i can't really start the phone no matter what.
*last thing i did was charged my phone but then it shut down, and it won't start up again
First of all... mabuhay and mga Pinoy!
Does SEUS pick up the phone?
Can you get in to Flash Mode at least or when you say not booting up at all, you mean... no power whatsoever?
Have you tried a different battery?

SEUS can detect it. There are two options right now (1) Update and (2) Factory Reset + Update. I don't to flash as much as possible cause I haven't backed up the phone yet. Will (1) Update erase my contacts and messages? There are important messages in my phone.
About the not booting up. No nothing, the phone just vibrates when I power it on. Nothing happens.
About the battery. Haven't tried a different one cause I don't know anyone else who has an x10. How much would the battery cost here?
or the phone just short-circuited?

Hi everybody.
This morning I woke up with my phone (X10i) turned off, when I tried to turn it on the phone vibrated non stop and the screen stayed black, this continued until I removed the battery but started again as soon as I pressed the power button.
I tried updating the firmware with SEUS but this didn't solve anything I also tried the rooting method mentioned on this forum.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank You in advance,
Tizzo
Ive tried using a different battery but the problem still exist

My first phone did that and I had to get my phone replaced since ATT didn't know what was wrong. I tried everything on xda, which you probably haven't tried. Give your issue with a search in the search box for the xda website. That could give you ideas to help you.

Every once in awhile, I will look over and notice the Roger logo popped back up on my phone which means its restarting. No idea how much this does in a day but I have caught it a couple times in the past few days. Anyone have this problem? An excuse to get a phone replaced?
yup..happens to me on average around 3 times a week.
i launch an app..the screen goes blank..suddenly i notice the phone has restarted.
maybe low on RAM or too high temperature
Me phone has only done this once to me after I cleaned too many built in apps from my phone.
Other than that my phone has never rebooted.
Swyped from my rooted X10i using XDA.
My phone had restarting problem when i used aHome home launcher. After unistalling it, never happened again
Weird. My phone has never done it while i am using it. Its always done it when sitting by itself on a table, not running anything.
If you guys read the SE support site, you'll know that it has to do with the phone running out of memory because of too many apps running at the same time.
I know that there is a group here who does not believe in Advance Task Killer app, but I haven't had this issue after starting using this app. And, I'll repeat again, it helps me conserve the battery, not matter whoever who keeps saying that it is useless for that purpose.

It reboots even if you have a lot of memory free. This morning it rebooted after 30 min from the first boot and I didn't use it.
Ciao Angelo
noticed this happening quite a bit over last 2-3 days, not sure if its been caused by program update, possibly adw home.
today has been the worst, disconnecting and reconnecting almost every minute or so.
gonna try switching 3g off see if that helps. really annoying, makes browsing a PITA.

I personally found that it happen when I connected to Wifi.

X10 Restarting
you showld try to turn off the WCDMA mode, after turning only GSM mode it never restarted again, and if i turn it on goes back to restarting every once in a wille, especialy when connected to my car's bluetooth.
try it and give feed back.
Started happening to me after I stopped using advanced task killer... maybe it happens when it runs out of ram?
Don't your phones get extremely laggy without ATK? I usually don't exit apps when I'm done with them, I just press the home button, and open up more apps, so I can't go without it...
As far as I can recall, my phone's never restarted on me...
In the last couple of days it is happening to me too.
I stop using the phone for some time, and then it just restarts itself.
i just bought an x10 yerstday and ever since the recent update it has continuously rebooted on its own when browsing the net and playing music.
This really bugged me since i didnt know whether it was a faulty set or the new update was the problem. after going through various threads on various forums i realised the problem is very common.(unrooted before and fully factory unlocked)
So here is my Solution. it has not restarted yet after doing the following
1. Rooting and updating to latest firmware R2BA026
2. Installing Auto memory manager
> Setting it as follows
FA... 2MB
VA... 2MB
SS... 4MB
HA... 5MB
CP... 6MB
EA... 6MB
3. Installing Advanced Task Killer (Using it as normally as u could do)
> Untick Superuser permission
> Untick Auto Memory Manager
Dont let the memory fall below 15mb always check Auto Memory Manager and then use ATK.
Please tell me if this worked for you. it worked for me

Tried this, also tried resetting using seus and still it continues, think my phone has a fault now, I'm now running latest o2 uk fw (26).
If I'm on 3g it will cycle being connected and disconnected almost constantly, makes using net impossible, if I set it to use gsm only everything is fine. Could be o2 screwing with 3g where I live but I don't think so some how, not for this length of time!
Any one have any ideas? Failing that its gonna have to be sent away :-(

Ok so I wasnt a believer in all this r/s crap, but I alsmost shat my pants last night when my phone r/s on me during a call. Now at that time its wasnt on wifi but it r/s on me...i dialed again and after a few mins it r/s again. This is pissing me off. Any solutions.???
I guess if it continues then imma jump ona new phone.
Just noticed this with phone on my desk at work keeps rebooting about the 4th time now! Just not long debranded to 026 cant think of anything ive installed apart from ambienthome? anyone else had issues with it
Nope.
I got rid of the restart problem by doing a reset to factory defaults,others had a taskkiller that was causing it,and someone had a battery issue.
Edit: forgot to ask: did you try to remove the ambient home and see if the problem is still there?
Removed flyscreen seems ok sofar phone starting to lag bad though typing away and the text appears 5 sec later. Factory reset I think probs the amount of apps ive had on and off the phone lol

About ten minutes ago, my phone displayed a notification that an update was ready to download. I thought this odd, because I was on a bootloader unlocked phone running .184 and rooted via gingerbreak.
It downloaded the update in about 5 minutes, then asked me to OK the installation. The phone powered down, and rebooted displaying a box with an arrow, along with four dots.
Then it stopped, and my phone is now cold. Seriously cold - no lights when charging, unable to get it to work with flashtool...
If you're running an unlocked bootloader and it asks you to update - don't, until people confirm that this was just a blip for me.
UPDATE: Holding the back (not menu) button and plugging usb cable in causes the led to light up green, but still not detected by fastboot or flashtool.
search the threads,somebody is having the same problem that you are facing

That should be a sticky thread somewhere. oO
Just for clarity:
Unlocked bootloaders don't mean you won't get OTA updates. Sony has confirmed on Facebook and Twitter that as long as you're running an official Sony firmware, you'll still get updates. It's only when you're running a completely custom (e.g. Cyanogen) ROM will you have to update manually.
But back to the OP, that sucks that the update messed up the phone.
anyway to turn auto updates off? there must be a way some how? surly

I was using the rooted hk 2.3.2 firmware posted in the dev forum.
No idea about charges yet, will let you know how I get on
No problem with OTA update for me. The phone powered down and rebooted with the four dot screen and after the progress bar reached the end for the first dot, the phone turned off for a few minutes and came back on loading the second dot. There is a slight delay between each dot. The whole time USB was plugged in with USB debugging on. The fourth dot may restart the phone more than once but completed the OTA update without a problem.
For the bricked devices, have you tried pulling the battery out for a few minutes and turning on the device again?
I was grieved to hear that
In china many people use OTA update 2.3.3, then ARC dead,both locked and unlocked.
The thing about ota update is there's no much of visual progress esply during initialization during and after an update. The blank screen can be as long as 30sec.

I have been using my phone for more than 4 months now.
Till now everything was fine, but 2 days I noticed my battery was draining very quickly and yesterday suddenly my phone started freezing while using it. The only way to reboot is by pressing the power button for 10 seconds. I also noticed that it never happens when the phone is charging. I phone is running stock rom. I tried reseting it but still it is freezing. So I wiped the entire phone memory and flashed the stock OS again. But the problem is still there.
Somebody please help me. :crying:

Funny I'm also in the same situation. Recently restored from a backup ( from 301k nexus 4 to my current 303k nexus 4) and lately ive been getting a load of lockscreen sleep and my phone constantly restarting or I'd have to hold power for a few seconds.
Just wondering if maybe i should reflash rom as a whole? ( i already reflashed kernel if anything.)

You could reflash the factory image but first make sure this isn`t caused by a runaway app/widget. Most of these problems are caused by user apps most of the time. Install BetterBatteryStatts and cpu spy for app behaviour and cpu deep sleep.

Earlier when I used to restart my phone, the battery app used to show a huge drop in charge, but now the battery app resets itself and shows that the device was on battery only since the restart.
I am getting frustrated, now whenever my phone is inactive for 10 mins, the phone wont unlock and it crashes

Another thing I noticed is that the phone works perfectly when it is plugged in and when on battery, it wont hang till battery level reaches 91%-93%, but after that as the battery level drops the crash interval becomes less. When it is around 25-30% the phone sometimes freezes even during restart. Will it be a battery problem?
