Have you recently installed SetCPU or any other root app

Thought problem fixed itself but it just restarted again. Help?

I had that problem with my first Vibrant. The problem will get worse. Take the phone back and get a new one.
It might even start freezing

Did you restore any old "system data" after switching ROMS or restoring a nandroid? Have you tried to run the "fix permissions" script in ROM manager?

I've had the phone since day one. I can't return it now can i?

My phone randomly reset on me one day sitting on the table and went into a loop like this. Battery pull fixed it.

Phone rebooted twice today

I'm wondering why this is happening, it has done it before but 2 times within 3 hours. I'm beginning to worry... Any ideas?
Oddly enough it seems to do it right when I pick it up to use it.

What rom are u using?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Oh yea, completely stock.

I had mine reboot on me today as well, it's the stock rom with root. I didn't pick it up. It happened while I was tethered using the free Wireless Tether App and the phone was asleep.
Yea, I don't even have root.. it has done it 2 more times since my first post.

Just a guess, but check the battery temperature.

Select battery information.

I think ppl r getting confused, u r completely stock with no root aspects. Did u install the leak ota?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
No OTA, no root, no ROM. sorry for the delayed response, passed out last night

Probably was just hot at those times and just rebooted. I don't think you should be too worried

one of my co-workers has been having the same issue. (completely stock as well). Mine has rebooted a handful of times, at least once that was possibly at the exact time as my co-worker's. He's called in enough that they are offering to replace the phone.
Me Too
My phone has been rebooting more and more recently. I suspect it is very poor signal causing the phone to work too hard, triggering a reboot. My will get to 109 degrees for no particular reason, and then start rebooting.
My warranty replacement (refurb) is expected today.

Do you have setcpu or a OC kernal by any chance?
I am having this happen also... I have had to remove my battery three times today to reboot the phone.
I have set CPU installed, is that a bad idea?
I'm rooted with just the stock OS, no mods at all and my phone will randomly reboot every two or three days.

Mine has the new rom the leaked one and does this so often like after every 2-3 songs. Did it with the stock rom too.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
No, I'm rooted with straight stock. No set CPU or anything of that nature. But like I said even then ill get complete freezes and then a reboot. Or occasionally ill attempt to open an app and the phone will reboot!!

did you wipe your SD cards when you flashed the new rom? I don't have this behavior but I did have FC's and such because of some files on the SD. I have NONE of this behavior. Something is wrong for you, nothing is wrong with JI2 and freezing/rebooting.

I used to have this problem all the time too whenever I tried to use the gps, but since I've applied the leaked update that problem has gone away. But it seems like you're experiencing the issue at more random times. Have you noticed any particular pattern? For example, whenever you try to play music in the background and read a website at the same time.

Yup mine is bone stock not Rooted and it will lock up just siting there GPS, wireless and Bluetooth off in a very good signal area.
Same here on both roms. I thought the lag fix was causing the freeze. But now im stock jit2 and root.
Had the same with gps and maps with old firmware.

NO set cpu or anything
I haven't had this issue happen since I applied the flashable gps fix. Maybe it was an issue with an app that wanted to use GPS running in the background?
This has happened to me several times while booting gps and only recently started happening while playing pandora, but not as frequent as while using the gps...not rooted

Mine has only frozen up once and it was at the end of a call screen turned off. I hit power and went to go unlock and it turned off again.. Would not turn back on but I know the phone was still on since I had apmobile enabled and it was still transmitting wifi connection. Oh I was using eugene's FrankenTwiz (underclocked to 400mhz)when it happened but same thing happened to my girlfriend and she had hybrid r3. Other than phone runs fine.
Ive had some odd reboots where I dont get a shutdown or boot animation or sounds, just freezes, goes black, keys light up, searching for signal boot process. Yesterday in maps trying to troubleshoot my gps. Stock rom,rooted, Ryan's lagfix.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Have the phone replaced. I had a phone that would randomly freeze and/or reboot. Nothing I did would fix it.
I talked to a T-mobile worker who had the same issue with one of the early demo-phones Samsung loaned to him. They just replaced his without every saying what the problem was.
I've been having this happen a lot lately myself, it happened to me before on stock ROM due to SetCPU, but now on the leaked ROM. I did not clean the SD card (internal or external), so will give that a shot when I have some time to copy files on/off the SD cards (one reason to dislike the internal SD is that I have to mount it to copy the files, ergh).

I know when I did it, it took a good 5 minutes but eventually rebooted and I had root again. How long did you leave it running?
Actually i forgot it and left it for an hour or so

I had the same problem you need to install a SD card that will make it work.
thank you, i thought i had my 16gb sd installed, but when I checked it, it was not recognized by system...so i took it out, put in and it always mentioned sd card for just a second, then dissapeared again...seems to be a bug...now it seems to be seen, i started gingerbreak...but takes way longer then the first time...i let you know if it worx now
I stopped and reinstalled Gingerbreak after updating my device. I had same problem as you describe. After reinstalling Gingerbreak my problem was solved.
Now it worked...the issue was that my acer got some troubles with my sd card....it rarely accepts it....

Very odd issue?

Recently every couple hours the phone runs at like 2fps. All animations run about that speed but don't freeze. It also causes my soft keys to stop vibrating on touch and accelerometer locks. Any ideas?

What rom are you using?
There is maybe somthing running in the backgroud which does that!
I wondered that but nothing was ever in the runnin list but nothing I stopped helped. If it keeps up I suppose i'll factory reset and then possibly sbf. On cm7. Flashin new nightly over didn't help. We will see.
Sent from my MB520 using xda premium
Im running cm7 nightly now and not having any issues at all. does it happen at any certain time or after you use a certain app or something?
Usually happens after I wake the phone after a couple hours. Seems to have gone though.
Sent from my MB520 using xda premium
I would say if it keeps up maybe try factory reset then if that don't help a sbf might be in order.

I use gosms myself and haven't had any issues like the ones you've been experiencing. Never used friendcaster.
After a whole day it finally happened again! Oh well will flash sbf once we get outta hospital.

What are you overclock settings?
1ghz on demand. Trying fiddling with it while it was acting up to no avail. Not trying to be lazy I just am curious what happened. Going home tomorrow. Will flash. Hope its not hardware.

Phone restarting itself?

Has this happened to anyone? Just started happening today for me after I flashed factory ROM for the second time. Do you think it's the device or software issue?

You using HD Widget app by any chance?
.....yes lol. Did that widget cause your phone to reboot too?

My phone has rebooted twice and that is the only widget I'm using. I'm on rooted stock rom. A few other people said it was that app that caused the Nexus 7 to reboot so I'm guessing it's the same reason for our phone. I haven't used the widget for 3 days now and no rebooting since.
Overheating?
I had been watching Netfilx on my Nexus 4 using mobile data and my phone just restarted by itself. I was also charging it at the time, after it reset, I checked the temp. and it was at 102 f. I'm not sure why this happened, but it is the second time while I was using Netfilx, I didn't check the temp the first time... I'm starting to get worried, is it just me? Is it just because the phone is doing too much? Am I alone in this?
