Hello everyone, I've got an interesting problem that I want the experts here at XDA to help me troubleshoot. Feel free to ask questions as I know there's probably a million variables at this point with stuff installed, uninstalled, gps, root, task killers, etc.
alrighty with that said, I did the e-wrecked gps fix (changing the operation mode and server location+port). That seems to work great in terms of time to lock on my position as well as improved accuracy. Over the next couple of days I noticed some really choppy and lengthy phone start ups after the fix.
Eventually it got to (and currently is at) a point where it kept rebooting the phone, or at least touchwiz. It would load up, scan media, search for the network, do all the start up stuff, then lock up, and turn the screen off. Hitting the lock button/power button does nothing while it resets itself. Then it resets to the lock screen, the screen lights up and it goes into "searching" for the tmo network while doing the storage preparations, and other boot up stuff. It does not restart from cold (with the vibrant, tmo, and galaxy animations, only the lock screen and OS boot process)
Anyone else got any funky restarts going on, for whatever reason? I basically want to start seeing what would trigger this behavior. I started uninstalling stuff one by one trying to figure out why its doing that but sometimes it boots up fine, sometimes it boots but doesn't ever find tmo's network, and sometimes it just does the above.
Observations:
1. It will always boot up fine if the SIM card is out.
2. The last time it did it was today while I was at work, listening to music while the phone was charging. Im noticing that the phone gets pretty hot while charging and really hot if you're using while its charging (getting apps, surfing the web, playing games, etc)
So any thoughts from the tech gurus here? anyone have similar behavior in the past on other phones? is the heat affecting the sim card negatively? I can (and have) put my simcard back in my treo 680 backup phone with no issues whatsoever.
New observation, it consistently does the reset process as soon as the "Adjust Time and Date" as it registers/syncs with the network.
UPDATE: so, i did some research, ended up at the setCPU thread and saw that when set to OnDemand some people's phones experienced similar tendencies. Problem is, mine was already set to auto-detect and "Conservative". I un-checked start at boot, and tried again. Same problem. I uninstalled setCPU completely and my phone appears to be back to normal.
I'll update again if anything changes.
so one of the things that i removed during my troubleshooting was my corporate exchange account. When i added it back. it did its initial sync fine and gave me my calendar and contacts. I then rebooted and the problem came back.
I removed the account and rebooted. it went through two cycles of the restarts and on the third one, it worked. I left it alone after that.
I then was showing my friend some things (browser differences) and had 3 browsers open. It froze as i went to close Dolphin HD. Rebooted and now its back to the cycle.
Mine did this also. Installed several apps, woke up to find a slow phone. Resets galore. A quick reset to defaults and app restore fixed it, sans setcpu of course.

my phone resets itself also as described above, but not really doing anything in particular. i dont have a whole lot of apps installed. i even was using google maps the other day and after it started up the screen went black and the device was unresponsive until the screen came back and it said searching and the media scanner was running.
well first off thanks for responding lol. i thought i was by myself out here.
secondly, i found that if i leave it alone and let it go through its cycle, it does eventually boot up ok (this is recently, before, it was endless). i havent restarted my phone (im afraid to lol) since it did it on its own yesterday (showing my friend the browsers).
since yesterday, i've used it for navigation (motonav), serveral installs, downloaded podcasts, rss feeds, etc and its been ok (even while charging and wifi on). again, havent actually restarted it since yesterday because its actually functioning for once.
Lastly, i unchecked the auto update time and date from network in the settings just to see if that makes a difference because based on previous expereience that is the point where it freezes and resets. Thanks for chiming in and let me know if there's any other advice you have
I'd suggest a reset as mentioned above.
Been checking out this site for awhile but this is my first time posting, today my phone started to have this problem and it just bootloops touchwiz if i have a simcard in the phone.
It works fine without a simcard but my problem is it will not let me turn of auto update of time and date, i have tried disabling this setting and it just enables itself again. I have also noticed that if I started messing around with time and date settings even without a sim touchwiz reloads once. I guess im gonna give a reset a go.

sorry, noob question (i came from winmo and a touch pro 2), what does "a quick reset to defaults" mean? is that like a factory wipe i.e. phone will be brand new again, gotta root again and reinstall everything, change settings, etc?

Root will stick but settings and apps/app data will be gone. It briefs you on what is and isn't lost when you do a factory reset.
Smae problem, its setcpu!
SetCPU with any settings will do this.
It needs an update, the auto detect some how loses and
will set the cpu to 19mhz max and min.
This is too slow to process. I rebooted and pressed settings and uninstalled it
while I could. Seems to behave once out of touchwiz.
For me it was another app not setcpu I never used it. After i did a reset i restored all my apps with titanium backup and once i restarted my phone it looped again. So i did another restore and left off all the apps that i installed right before the problem started and so far i think for me at least one of these caused it
Google maps update
google translate
the extra language pack for translate
barnacle wifi tether
hero of sparta
these are apps that I installed right before the problem happened and without these my phone works fine I am going to see if i can find that one that caused my problem.
It's not the maps update because my phone works fine with it.
It was hero of sparta a gameloft game from there web market funny thing is its suppose to work on the vibrant while dungeon hunter which works fine would only give nexus as a check out option. Anyway im going to try to get a refund tomorrow.
I get the same touchwiz reboot but for me it has only ever happened while using google maps. I do not use set cpu, but I have applied the gps fix. It is more than a little annoying. I have done a system wipe but the problem persists.

yes, if you have setcpu, uninstall it - its buggy with the galaxys
- sometimes you can't wake your phone (if you set a screen off profile), forcing you to do a battery pull
- constant launcher restarts

and this is why i started the thread, to make sure i wasnt all alone. i have everything you have installed as well, but it was doing it before i picked up hero of sparta (and nova, and asphalt 5, man those guys make some good phone game lol).
anyways i just installed barnacle wifi tether yesterday so thats not it either (at least for me). That leaves the google stuff, out of the apps in your list, all of which were installed when i first got the problem, and are still on there after I've removed setCPU

ok so, contacts, text messages, etc stay? Meaning if i do a factory reset, root stays, and all app stuff can be taken care of by, say, AppBrain since it has a running list of everything installed and knows where to get it to install it again? I apprecicate the advice, but this would still be a last resort sort of thing. my phone has worked fine for the past few days but I also havent restarted it yet either
just a quick update, my phone still does this if i reboot my phone (which is never now that i got my 32gb sd card), but for the first time ever hero of sparta caused it to happen while the phone is on. I uninstalled it so we'll see.

Anyone have any idea what may have happened here?
I was unexpectedly away from home, but using the device quite heavily, and didn't have a method to charge the battery.
Once the battery had drained to about 3%, I switched the phone off but I ended up needing to make another call. The phone booted, but all core apps returned a force close message. Phone, Maps, Google Account, all the main stuff... Other apps would launch and function with no problem though.
Thinking it may have just been a glitch, I rebooted the phone again thinking there would still be just enough juice to allow a phone call, but while booting, the battery totally failed.
Once I had a chance to plug in the charger, all core apps continued to fail, even though the phone now had plenty of power.
Even after a battery pull, the same issues continued, rendering the phone pretty much useless. No link to Sprint, no WiFi network, nothing...
The phone is rooted with v1.5.2 RC and Fresh ROM v1.0, so lacking anything else to do, I performed a Nandroid restore from a backup made about 2 days ago and that seems to have fixed up the problem. (whew.. I did not want to resort to the RUU)
But, I just can't figure out what may have caused this odd behavior in the first place....
Are you using apps2sd?
No, I'm not using the apps2sd feature.
The lockscreen text showed "No service" and the notification bar icon showed the same. The "phone" application was the only one that would attempt to restart after being forced closed. After a second fc though, it would apparently give up.
Oh, and just remembered one other oddity.. Once booted and all force close messages removed, attempting to turn on the mobile network resulted in a hard reboot. I really didn't expect anything since there was no service link, but I was just clicking various shortcuts to see what did or didn't work.
Good part is that a Nandroid restore saved the day, so it's more of a curiosity at this point to what the root cause might have been.
I wouldn't have thought that a battery drain could have corrupted the apps or prevented the root filesystem from mounting.
You probably had too many apps installed. It's a known issue with the Hero, where having too many apps installed causes a bunch of core apps to fail to load for no apparent reason. The phone losing power just caused it to reboot, which triggers the issue.

oddly enough I've had a similar experience. it was 2 days before christmas and i was doing all my last minute shopping. heavy use of the phone caused the battery to die, so i just threw it on my car charger. it booted, but REFUSED to get any data at all (i didn't run into any fc's, however). I rebooted it 3 times and each time the issue persisted.
I was running the AOSP 2.0 build at the time, so i flashed my backup of 2.1 and everything was fine from there...

Hmm, good possibility there. Just did a count and I do have 85 apps installed.
(whoof, I had no idea the number had gotten that high. just too many useful apps for this phone.
I bought an HD2 last week that is already running the updated ROM (2.13.531.1) but the phone still freezes, turns off, then turns itself back on immediately. It does this several times a day. Is anyone else having this problem with the updated version? I love the phone, but it's getting really frustrating. I check the task manager frequently and close out of all programs that I'm not using. I don't really watch videos, listen to music or run multiple apps at once, and the phone goes through this freezing process during all different types of activities; there isn't any single app/activity that seems to trigger it. Also, I initially didn't realize that I had the updated version, so I waited a few days to install new apps (until I had time to update), thinking that I would have to re-install everything, and during that time the freezing did occur just as often, so I can't attribute it any app that I have installed. Once I realized that I already had the updated version, I installed a couple new apps.
Any advice on what could be causing this and what I might be able to do to fix it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had this problem with my HD2 also even when I had did plenty of hard resets and installed custom ROMS problem was the processor was bad so I got a replacement for my defective HD2 now the one i have now runs perfect does not freeze at all and the battery life is perfect im now running MAY 31 Energy ROM
I just did a hard reset. I am going to avoid installing any news apps for a few days to see how the phone does. I' ll post a reply in a few days to give an update. Thanks for the help.
same here.
I have been having this same problem since i have upgraded to the latest version from tmobile website. What is worse it that, i am also having problems with playing videos on youtube. The video would start to play and after few seconds it will freeze and makes a very loud and annoying sound, then shuts itself off and restart, sometimes freezing while restarting, so i had to take out the battery. Sometimes it would freeze right after it restarted. It's becoming so frustrating dealing with these everyday. 40 percent of my time using the phone is spent on restarting, taking the battery off and waiting.
someone please help. thanks!
Have you done a hard reset since installing the new ROM. It's recommended by the super intelligent people on this site. I am not there yet, but I did a few hard resets on my phone after upgrading to the new ROM and it works great.
i would either
1 go back to rom 2.10
or, more likely since its so new
2 go get a new one, see if its the same.
I received a text message from t-mobile indicating that a new update rom was available for install. After updating I noticed that the mobile phone would freeze for a split second and then instantly restart. After having the unit freeze several times throughout the day, I performed a hard restart and did not install any cabs. I noticed that it would freeze when I would go online.
Just yesterday I downgraded back to the original rom and no more problems.
After the hard reset last night, my phone froze several times in the next couple of hours. It even turned off, then back on three times when I wasn't even using it and the battery was full. I have only had the phone for five days, so decided that is wasn't worth the headache and I called T-Mobile to exchange it for a new one. Hopefully, I have better luck with the new one.
Well, I received the new one yesterday and it's doing the same thing. Not sure what to do at this point. I'm irritated that HTC and T-Mobile released this phone when it obviously wasn't ready.
HD2 Freezing issue: Try this
For everyone who's having tons of freezing issues with their HD2. I found something interesting. I got my HD 2 a couple of months ago in June. It ran for almost a month, no freezing but sadly I had to return that one because the output resolution was bad. Some kind of defect. The second one I got for a replacement didn't have much freezing issues but I did encounter a couple and then I installed BeeJive. That program freezes my HD2 sometimes. Then I discovered that my WI-FI wasn't working, no idea what happened. I tried everything thing I could but it would not work. So I did a hard reset.
After the hard reset, the HD2 freezes all the time and was soooo slooooooow. It was so bad that I could not work on it. Having experienced the HD2 before all the freezing issues, I know that it had to be something else causing the freezing. So I hard reset again and reinstalled my applications again and tested each to make sure it was working and not causing the frequent freezing and most importantly, the slooooowness.
So far so good. I still installed BeeJive because it's the best IM software I found out there that uses your data plan for IM. It still causes freezing but I know what functions will cause it so I try to avoid it. I also keep my list of installed applications down to reduce the chance that it's one of my infrequently used apps that's causing the freezing.
So if you're daring, hard reset your HD2, then install your most used applications first, test it, then installed the next frequently used application next, and so on and so on.
One more thing, I've discovered that the auto update for stocks, weather, and frequently direct pushed emails, as well as gmail/yahoo accounts will cause the HD2 to be slow. I still set my gmail to update every 10 minutes because it's my main account, but yahoo gets updated once an hour and outlook gets manually updated during work hours, since I'm at work, and gets direct push for the hours I'm awake at home. No need to push email when I'm asleep.
Another possibility for resolution - microSD card
I purchased a new microSD because I noticed that the one that came with the HD2 is a Class 2 device. I could not take videos for more than a minute and then it gets real choppy.
I bought a new Class 6 card. After getting the card, I tested it against the Class 2 card. Huge difference. It seems that SD card speed and HD2 performance are directly related. I tested the cards with the following applications: Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, BeeJive, Camera, Video Camera, and Email. On both cards, on certain programs, the card access goes down to below 1mbs. However, for the Class 6 card, it ramps up quickly. The class 2 card, being already slow, lingers. This in itself causes a huge lag and freezing. I discovered that on certain applications that froze before, it now doesn't freeze but it does take an extra 'second' to recover.
My biggest relief has been that BeeJive no longer freezes where it froze before on certain functions. I've been running for over a week now without any freezes. I'm not saying you should replace your SD card, yet. However, you can test it to see if the lag is causing the freezing.
A new 16gb card costs $75. Make sure you test it, if you decide to get one. I got 7mbs max access with mine and consistently got 6mbs, which is what it's suppose to be.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Sometimes (5-6 times in the last 24 hours) when the phone is sleeping, it will not wake when I hit power/unlock. I have tried installing no lock, hoping it was a glitch in the lock screen, but it still happens. The only way to fix it is to pull the battery.
Any advice?

Are you running setcpu? Mine was doing this when I would lower the speed with a screen off profile. I just uninstalled setcpu for now. I don't think the kernel supports it anyway.

let us know how it goes... If you experienced any unable to wakes after the reset...
Seems to be working fine. I'm not sure what the problem WAS, but the reset seems to have fixed it.
Root and busybox were still intact. Had to re-do the lag fix. (Method 1)
I'll update if I get the issue again.
My phone is just so...VIBRANT
Samething happened to me yesterday morning. Woke up found my phone wouldn't go back up. I thought it was dead, until I pulled the battery. I haven't Root hack it or installed SetCPU.
Sorry to throw this issue in this topic, but anyone have any problem with the phone rotating sideway for WEB and Messaging? I thought when I first got it, it worked.. now it doesnt..
There is probably a common app here or something causing this because I don't ever recall hearing this type of issue with the Vibrant before this thread.
I had the same thing happen to me and found after much trial and error that when I pulled my SD card out I was then able to wake the phone up. Apparently there was some problem with my SD (I was using it with my previous phone..MT3G) that was causing the Media scanning process to get stuck.
I ended up backing up what I needed from the SD and reformatting it. Since then I haven't had any issues. We may or amy not have the same root cause but hopefully this does help.
I'm thinking the problem HAS to be software related. After the reset, I've reinstalled everything I had before, and it's working like a charm! I've even used Titanium Backup to remove a lot of the bloatware, and still ruining great!
I just wish we could get a logcat, but when it happens, the phone is dead until you pull the battery.

I am almost 100% SETCPU is the problem..
My phone would not come out of sleep.. I had to pull the battery and when I turned it on it would say "auto update of time and date".. That made me think the phone lost its internal battery and the phone was bad..
It started doing it right after I configured SETCPU... I installed the program last Thursday but never clicked on it.. I set it for on demand and that is when it started not coming out of sleep..
So I removed SETCPU and it still would not come out of sleep..
So I did a wipe all user data and it started working fine.. I installed SETCPU and it was still working fine.. I setup SETCPU for performance and it started messing up again and not coming out of sleep..
So, I wiped all user data again last night and it has been working perfectly since.. So I do not plan on reinstalling SETCPU...
If I boot my phone up, go to the home screen, my phone will get the little soft popup s aying "Auto Update of Time/Date" and then everything pauses, and the phone "soft" reboots itself. Meaning it doesnt do a full reboot, but it comes back searching for a network, performing the media scan, etc.
I did a factory reset to get rid of this, and now it's back again. It's MAD annoying. Anyone else having this issue?
Yep I noticed the same thing with mine. I thought it was normal but I'm beginning to think otherwise. I'm getting some connecting to dm server thing as well.
Sucks, the phone's awesome but if it keeps doing this then it won't even matter.
One thing I noticed is if I let the phone sit, and load up it's usually okay. If I try to go into the phone settings while it's booting up, thats when I'll see the auto update note and bam, restart. It'll keep doing this until I either leave it alone or pull the battery.
Good to hear it's not something im doing.
deng this just started happening to me like 5 minutes ago
its getting a bit of annoyed
my phone was rooted and then i unrooted it and it still has the same problem
Do you folks have any Task-kill app running in the background?
I had the same issue as well when I had a Task Killer app running in the background. It seems the app is killing some service that is causing soft reset. I turned off the auto mode last week and this hasn't happened since then.
Hope this helps..
fix
if u download any gameloft games thats your problem my phone was doing that then i took the games from gameloft off and now it works great hope that helps
Certain apps can cause it, I also had a gameloft game cause it. If you need to get access to uninstall apps the phone should boot fine without a sim in it.

I am having the same problem, The phone keeps doing a soft reset. I noticed this happening after I tried to download a song from an app I installed on my phone. I deleted the app, and the problem still exists, it is REALLY ANNOYING
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.

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
I solved my reboot problem with Reset to factory defaults.

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.
