Does anyone have any solutions?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Ive had maybe one or two random soft reboots happen since getting my phone.
I haven't had one in quite a bit now though.
Really mine shuts off atleast twice a day

You using a task killing app? If so how aggressive are you with it? Seems like task killers affect this phone WAAAAY more than on my Nexus One.
Random shut off for me = once a week
Yes I have it but ive never played with the settings just downloaded the app and went on from there.

I have had this happen to me twice. I was more on the line of thinking that it is an app that I installed. I hadnt thought it was the task killer set to killing an app that would do this. I will turn off Auto Kill and also do an inventory of apps that I installed since I noticed the shutdowns.

If I bring my phone to verizon what would they say?

I used a task killer on my Nexus One because old habits die hard. So when I moved to the Droid X I still had this habit. I quit using ATK this last Friday and havent had a single glitch or reboot since.
Could this be the case for others with reboot issues? Maybe, Maybe not.
If you have a task killer installed try uninstalling it for 2-3 days and see what happens.
I have never used a task killer but I had the same issue. A factory reset nor an .sbf restore from a brick changed it. My new phone just shipped yesterday as a replacement.

I was having atleast 2 reboots a day and when I deleted my task killer last week I haven't had any problems my phone is actually faster with out it. I think the task killer stops programs to make your phone run effectively.

Im bringing my phone to verizon today and see what they tell me thanks alot guys

I have been having the same issue. My phone will just rest to the animation screen not the motorola M. At first I thought it was chomp sms causing it cause a few times as sms texts would come in it reset. So I removed chomp but issue was still there so I wondered if set cpu was the issue cause I am ROOTED. So I remove that. Issue is still there. I done two factory resets and no help.
I do not see this being a hardware issue...... Tho if it is please someone enlighten me....
Reason is if it is software then I can wait til 2.2 or custom rom...
Please any help or insight would be great. My exchange period with verizon is ruining out. Don't want to return a item with proper hardware.
Please assist thank you.

Any help at all?

I haven't ever used a task killer on the x, and still had the same issue. It got slowly worse, up to 2 or 3 reboots and 2 or 3 freezes (battery pull required) per day. Verizon shipped me out a new phone, and I just got it yesterday.
edit: the speaker's a good bit better, too. Not great, but definitely distinctly louder than my original one.
Any idea if I was to un root it if it would matter? Or if rooting did cause this... Is the damage done then?

Maybe this might be the issue

Hi guys. I was on the Motorola Droid X page, under owner support, and came across this:
"The battery charger shipped with this device is a high rate charger specifically designed for your DROID X.
Other chargers might take longer to charge your battery, cause your calls to fail during charging, or cause your phone to continuously power cycle."
I know that I had been using my BB Storm 2's charger with my DX since they both use the same connectors, unaware that the charger actually made a difference. I also noticed the shut-down/restart issue, and had called VZW about it twice, prompting the tech to send me out a new one. I only found this tidbit by chance afterwards. Maybe myself and others might be doing the same, and unknowingly creating a power issue...just my $0.02

Same here for the past 2nd days. I have tried wifi on and off. Makes no difference. Horrible signal and drama... In done, jumping ship tomorrow for the X.
After all of my samsung instinct issues I should have known better. Good luck guys.

This thread was made for the sole purpose of letting your frustration(s) with the epic 4g loose!
So whatever the case maybe. Instead of cluttering someones thread with non-sense out of frustration, do it all in this thread.

No matter how much or how I calibrate my battery, it almost always drops to 97% after unplugging. Some times it will stay at 100 and stay at 100 for about an hour. Also, you'll be at say 50% and reboot the phone and be at 12% for 5 hours.

and the pain in the neck the sammy drivers are on win7 x64, my notification led and my front facing camera not working, the fact that my phone is crooked when i close it now, how slow samsprint is at updating it, and on and on and on. lol. with all of the inherent problems, though, i still prefer it over an iPhone.
The wobble....

I don't mind attempting to help.
What ROM are you using?
Capacity of the battery you're using?
Which Modem are you on?
Do you oc/uv?
Which kernel are you using?
Install spare parts from the market.
Run your phone for 30min-1 hour.
Check the battery usage.
Post your stats back here if you are unable to solve.
Useful tips: Get titanium Backup pro or some other app freezing application from the market.
Open the app up. And freeze the following processes.

biggest frustration is the visual voicemail. i see a missed call, i see i have voicemail, but when i click "play" on the voicemail it says it can't play the voicemail.
only way to fix it is to power off phone, power on, then the voicemail will play. same problem i had on my old samsung flip phone 3 years ago. promised myself i would never again own a samsung phone but the Epic was the best phone available at the time. sigh.

That fix seems beyond annoying lol. I can understand the frustration behind that although there isn't that much voicemail in the world to be frustarted over unless you almost never answer your phone calls.

while at work (roughly 10 hours a day with commute) i rarely answer my personal phone. unfortunately that's when many people (or services like the comcast setup crew, etc.) call.
i end up rebooting my phone, just for voicemail, at least 4 times a week. i don't know if it's something i did (just running stock Froyo EB13 - rooted with EXT4 file system), an app i installed, etc., but it's odd to me that it happened on my old Samsung flip phone on Verizon and now on my Samsung Epic on Sprint.
ready for the rumoured Gingerbread update to officially drop (actually ready for source to come out so i can finally switch off of the stock firmware - for some reason i've been holding out flashing a custom ROM until gingerbread. probably silly of me, but that's what i've been telling myself).

i've never ever had that problem (knock on wood). Maybe a bad flash or something. try updating your voicemail app and make sure you have 3g when your checking your voicemail.
For the battery issue, nubecoder wrote something that can be implemented into kernels for a fuller more complete charge. I don't know which kernels incorporate this.. i'm currently on bakedsnack and it does have it. battery is superb.
When you have to completely close apps (market) just to get data to connect. Its as if its false 3g -_-

I'm running srf 1.1.1 w/ twilight zone 1.1.1. I don't run over 1ghz, and am under volted. Ec05 modem. I don't believe this to be a kernel or rom issue, its done this almost from the start of having this phone. I'm not sure what info you're looking for in spare parts specifically.

When I posted that a few minutes ago I was on EC05. I'm trying out EE03 right now w/ the GPS fix zip applied right now. Regardless, there is no reason that Samsung is still pushing out updates without fixing the skipping keyboard and GPS fixes.
BLUETOOTH!!!
Connects once, then when call ends, it disconnects the bluetooth and refuses to reconnect unless the I toggle the bluetooth on/off. Very freaken annoying to say the least.

After FroYo update (never happened on Eclair) every time I need to turn WiFi on is becoming a hustle and audio support disappears (Not playing any music mp3 or streaming and notifications) after sometime. both problems seems to be getting a "fix" after unmount/mount a SD card trick. Extremely annoying.
Has anyone else's ATRIX started acting up since they gave us the ota update notice? I have not updated yet but since getting the notifications starting yesterday my phone has since rebooted about ten times and my gps will no longer lock on.

Is it still acting up?
Yeah, my phone has been running really slow and eating through battery since the update notice appeared on my phone. I haven't updated yet because my phone is rooted and haven't had time to unroot it to upgrade.
Is anyone's Hangouts super laggy in the beginning when it's loading all the SMS's?
Whenever I close all my apps and start it up again, it takes like 5 seconds to load up. Maybe not too long, but obviously with the processor we have it should definitely be faster. Anybody suggest a fix if they have fixed it, or just somebody experiencing the same?
And by laggy, i mean it's just a white screen until the sms's are loaded, and then it's smooth as butter for me.
-Side note, My WIFI turns ON randomly even though I don't touch the phone.... odd.
You have to realize that no matter what kind of power you throw at it this phone is 3 version behind in android now. Optimization is the key thing here.
