Hey guys.
I've got an issue start is seriously starting to destroy my first Android-experience.
On several occasions when messing around with e.g. the clock app, my phone just restarts. I can at some point live with that kind of instability although I don't understand why I have to...
However, what will soon be an agonizing karate death for the little Wildfire is the fact that it, usually in the night, often restarts too. I've never tried it with the alarm turned on so I don't know if the alarm will ring while it's asking for the SIM pass. Just started working after holidays with a new phone in my possession, and luckily I accidently just found out it restarted again... But if it turns out I'm gonna sleep the day away because of this, I will definitely have had it with a piece of software - that sort of seems beta to me...
Hope you can help me out, peace

Sounds like a defective phone to be honest.
Android normally doesn't restart on its own without an app telling it to do so.
Mine just runs fine for days.
Infact my current uptime is 163 hours.
I have the same issue.
The phone have done five restarts in the last two weeks.
Three of the times this happened I was listening to music. The other two times happened when I was browsing the menus.
Dear Friends as skye said I too doubt the phone is defective .. so best thing is to get a replacement while its new...
My W. restarts several times a day. Today it was 7 times until now. W. in factory setting with geocaching app a a some more basic apps I had used on previous Samsung Galaxy Spica with no problems. Seems to be common Wildfire problem, but I can t google no working solution.
same aplies to my phone..
I never had a problem.
My previous HTC touch cruise (windows mobile) developed the same problem, after 2 and a half years.
It's definitely hardware. You should look at warranty service
same to me,
in the evening mostly
also some times when trying to listen to music or when I'm using ebuddy
Wow, quite a few ppl getting restarts on their phone. O.O
My phone works just fine, no problem though.
Mine did a lot of time, but no more than once per day. Always when I was not using it, specially during night. The battery was always full.
Flashed any custom roms?

Same issue here. I have a suspicion on applanet market, because after installing this app my phone has started to restarting.
Okay, if your phone isn't stock already run an RUU . Then take it to a repair center.

dunno if this will apply to any of you guys but if i overclock my phone past 700 it reboots like mad. i had to drop it to around 670 i think. i also read a post somewhere on here, or over at cyanogenmod,(cant remember ) that someone was getting random reboots every time he got a 3g connection :/
Hey guys. I'm still kind of new to Android. I've had a couple, but always found something wrong, so I returned them. Im really liking the OS coming from iPhone. I recently returned my Atrix and bought an at&t N1. So far I love it. Its running 2.3.1 on CM6.
But I would like some mod suggestions? Roms? Anything you other N1 users really like?
Also, is there a way to increase the volume? Both headphone and ear piece? Its kind of hard to hear those that are soft talkers.
Thanks guys!

every once in a while I try out a sense rom and quite enjoy it but I keep coming back to cyanogenmod for it's speed, stability and customizability(that's probably not a word but you know what I mean). I was the exact same way with my old htc magic. If you want to try sense, check out the Desire HD port. there are TONS of really nice features in sense. Also, some people really like the MIUI rom. Personally, I'm not a fan because it seems like it's trying to copy iOS too much but a lot of people love it.
I think I did read something about a volume hack once but I never tried it out myself. never really had any problems.. then again, I very rarely use my phone as an actual phone
Welcome! Got my 1st N1 a couple of weeks ago...it beats the crap out of the newer phones IMHO. CM7 is running great for me.

I agree. Still a better phone than the new ones. With the help of a friend, I just flashed CM7. The only force close I got was you tube.
I would still like to find some thing about the volume.
And anything about using an OC kernal on CM7?

the first phone I've seen that I would get over the nexus one is the evo 3d

it's a shame
anyway, you should be able to play around with dsp manager to get things a bit louder I think
N-1
I have a Droid X I have had for about 6 mos. While my DX has GB and has benchmarked at 2137 I miss my N-1! Don't get me wrong I love my DX but that N-1 was sweet! Keep it! It isn't a developer phone for nothing. I miss my Nexus One!
Welcome to XDA and the awesome Nexus1...Happy Flashing!
Im currently typing this on my Atrix, patiently waiting the arrival of the at&t N1 that I just ordered. I feel like somekind of prisoner carrying this Atrix. Can't wait to be free.

Your nexus one
The nexus one is an awesome phone. But as everyone know it lacks on board storage space. This will frustrating when you are trying to load that final app and you are down to your last 20 mbs and you keep getting the Memory low error message.
A lot of roms have claimed to address this but I have tried them all and have had an N1 for about a year. CyanogenMOD is awesome but CM7 really has issues and you will fall in love with some of the features but still feel as if you need something more. I use Super AOSP with my N1. It allows me to have APPS2SD capability that was fairly easy to setup and works flawlessly. I had over 100 apps installed and my phone still showed over 160MB of storage available on the phone. I never had a force close or any problems at all really. So yeah in my opinion the N1 is great, but with a few hacks it can be excellent.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966635
Currently I am using an HTC Thunderbolt and the phone is phenomenal as well but the Nexus One is still truly a great phone. Even after being out for a year there are still phone trying to keep up with it. If only the N1 was available for Verizon I would have never made the switch.

I know that exact feeling. I loved about 98% of my Atrix. But I know it will never gets roms like the N1. It's amazing how well it runs for being as old as it is. I really hope Google gets with HTC again for their next Nexus. I wont buy a Nexus S. Enjoy your N1 when you get it.
CM 7 isn't perfect, but I like it so far. I'll probably flash something different in a couple days.

So I'm having a couple issues with CM 7 and since I don't have 10 posts yet, ill post here.
None of my e-mails in gmail are coming through. I have auto on, but they aren't getting pushed. I have to go into my gmail app and high refresh to get my e-mails.
Also, on my last rom, push notifications worked for Facebook. But they aren't on CM7.
Also my battery life seems to have gotten worse since the other 2.3 rom I had.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

First day with N1, reboots just after entering PIN.
Just got my first Nexus One. Wow, is it a sleek phone, and the speed increase... mmhmm. A marked difference to my now sadly departed X10i.
Came direct with 2.3.3. (it's been used as a display piece, but otherwise completely new). But then the trouble started. Constant reboots right after entering the PIN and when everything should start. Boom! Back to the X-screen and most of the time, a reboot, but sometimes it gets completely stuck there.
Succeeded in making a factory reset in the 10 seconds of working time that the phone gave me... After which things seemed to go well. Until it appeared again, again, again.
I'd re-flash, but I'm not familiar enough with the procedures. Which file should I recover with using the "update.zip"? (No custom stuff for me, this is still my first day with the phone). IF a pre-rooted version is available, I'd go for that, but if not, the stock one should do as well.

You can reflash your N1 to 2.2 with the instructions from wiki. After that you should get back to 2.3.3 with OTA update.
all i did was install CM7 nightly 41 after a full wipe, all went well. then installed titanium backup, restored all apps, then went to recovery and installed gapps, powered back up, and it tried to sync and it froze up, so after a while i pulled battery and pow no power!!! uh oh? any ideas?
Does it light up when you charge it?

just irritating, they wanna charge 20 bucks for 3 day shipping....verizon charged 10 for overnight and free for 2 day. unreal. i just dont understand how it failed like that. i did nothing different when changing roms! my phone was running like crap after i wiped and installed virtuous sense on it, so i wiped again and flashed CM back on, and it just bugged the hell out! any idea why it would brick like that?
Holding power+volume down doesn't work?
This may sound silly. But have you tried a battery pull?
You seem kind of stupid, you supposedly brick your phone and before anyone can try to help you call tmobile and tell them to replace it, then complain about how long it takes them to replace your screw up.

And in the process make the cell phones and rate plans cost more for everyone else cause yet another a-hole wants there warranty honored when they knowingly VOIDED the warranty. Getting so tired of this. Between people bypassing paying for tethering and OVERLY taking advantage, and bull**** like returning phones that you KNOWINGLY VOIDED THE WARRANTY WHEN YOU ROOTED AND INSTALLED THAT CUSTOM ROM on it, it is ZERO wonder why they all want to sign the god dam bootloader anymore. These may be evil corporations were dealing with, but there is still a difference between right and wrong. These few on xda will ultimately be our downfall. This thread is all kinda fail.
Edit: sorry for sounding so harsh but you could have waited for at least a LITTLE bit of help first. it sounds like something not that out of our league to have fixed.

battery pull yes, vol down and pwr nothing. charged it overnight, and led didnt even power up, tried 2 different batteries, etc. nothing.
i dont know why it bricked, i did nothing different than what was done before to it. any time i ever did have problems was with the bootanimation screen would stay on and device would never boot, but i was still able to fix that with a full wipe and fresh reinstall. this was maybe a hardware failure of some sort? ive done all the same stuff to my mt4g (went from iced glacier to CM7, been on CM7 since nightly 6 or 8 with that one), and for a longer amount of time now and no issues at all. funny thing is i dont even flash nightly, or weekly...usually about 10-14 days ill flash an updated newer rom. now i know some of you people here are major fanatics about flashing nightly, changing radios constantly, kernels, amongst other things...i do half of that stuff and at probably a tenth of the rate that some of you hardcore folks do. so before you wanna pass judgement, i have been doing this same stuff since november on 3 different phones and never had a problem since yesterday at random. so i dont know why some of you get pissed when people have defective equipment. id guess if my hinge broke you would be telling me it was because of flashing roms too??? my rom was already flashed, working, and then when email was syncing it locked up, did a battery pull and nothing worked since. get a grip folks, crap happens. its not like i improperly flashed a non sense rom direct over a sense rom then back again with no wiping, clearing cache, data, etc etc etc then flash 3 incorrect kernels and bad themes and so on. if my device at least would power up, i wouldnt have decided to have it exchanged under warranty because i probably would have been able to fix it somehow since there are write ups about semi bricked devices. even plugging it into the computer does nothing now.
We have been looking into this issue on IRC for the past week or so. ANYONE WHO IS HAVING THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO STOP BY THE IRC CHANNEL.
We need to get some more info, right now we only have 2 cases to go on.

Has anyone else here had issues with the Droid X having cellular network disconnect issues?
What I mean by this is that the 3G stops all together, you cannot make outbound calls or SMS messages. The 3G icon goes away, yet I can see bars on the antenna strength meter.
The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone, even putting in airplane mode doesn't work. It happens about every 1.5 to 2 days on this phone. I've factory reset it, gotten a replacement phone, etc.. Nothing works and it all started with the Gingerbread update.
I'm not the only one I can tell you that, many others on the moto forum are having it too.. https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/52111
I have an ADB logcat that I could send to some folks smarter than me if someone wants to look..

Glad to see there are more people with the issue.. Now its getting Motorola to listen....
There must be something unique that you are doing. I burn about 2200 min a month of cell time, and I've had no issues.
Yeah that happens to me, I sbf back to froyo, and now I'm on liberty rom, no more cell disconnect

I'm to the point where I want to get away from Motorola all together.. This phone has always been quirky, now its just totally unreliable. I have an HTC incredible (CM7) and have 0 issues with this, so I know its not a cell reliability issue in my area.
I can tell you that I ran CM7 for a few days on the DX with no issues at all. However CM7 has a few other annoyances that the wife didn't want to deal with.
I'm working with Verizon and it sounds like they're to the point of offering up a different phone..
I was having a similar issue. Spent countless minutes on tech support with vzw, countless resets, even sent me a replacement phone and had the same issue. Determined it was google voice at fault. Had to do a factory reset from the moto bootloader (not from settings/privacy), and it finally solved the issue.
If you're using google voice, try getting rid of it, and disconnecting it from your phone.

Well, I don't use GV, but had it on my phone...
I've uninstalled, and rebooted (not factory wipe)...

I asked in the moto forum and one user responded so far saying that they have the issue but don't have google voice installed..
I had the same problem with OTA Gingerbread. Cyanogenmod 7 fixed all my problems. No lie.

Hi,I'm now having these issues and more since gingerbread. Sad thing is, I had NO issues with this phone while on froyo. Verizon wants to do a complete factory reset, but that means i'd lose everything on the phone. I have it all backed up, but it takes a while to set up the damn thing the way I have it. I feel if tat what Verizon recommends, they should help set it back up.

After dealing with the issue with Verizon they agreed to let me swap the phone out for a different phone. The only rule was no 4G or no iPhone. Right now we settled on the HTC Incredible 2. I have the original Incredible, while the HTC software isn't perfect, but at least I haven't had these issues..
Bye bye Motorola.. Another plus, if this HTC has issues, as least I can run CM7 easily now..
I had(?) the same problem
history:
before upgrading to 2.3.3 my Droid X was on Froyo and rooted. In fine noob fashion I deleted bloatware during that time without backing it up so when I attempted to updated to Gingerbread I was **** blocked.
The resolution was to SBF the phone back to stock Froyo then upgread to Gingerbread, it worked like a champ... sorta
I kept noticing that the phone was really sluggish on reboots, it also kept dropping the network connection, mostly when I moved out of a wifi hotspot, the 3G wouldn't connect, not until I rebooted. I tried a few things, uninstalled misc programs blah blah blah, some of it seemed to have worked temporarily but nothing was permanent.
So, yesterday, I did a Factory Data Reset, actually had to do it 3x's since the first 2 times somehow goofed the market so that it wouldn't download and install . But 3rd time was the winner and now everything seems resolved, no more whacked out loss data connections and faster reboots!
so my suggestion - Factory Data Reset
I totally agree. Vzw tier 1 tech support can be a waste of time. After taking 30 minutes to tell me to turn on wifi, one guy told me to right click on the settings menu. I told him it was a touch screen, does that mean I have to use my right hand?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I have the same problem on rooted OTA gingerbread. My solution for the time being is to setup tasker to reboot the phone at 3am everyday. If i go back to froyo the problems go away. I posted about this a while ago. It doesn't fix the problem it just masks it but I start with a fresh phone every morning.
I have the issue too, it started right after Gingerbread.
It was *really* bad until I re-activated my phone but it still happens almost every 48 hours.
As best as I can tell, it is most likely to happen when wifi is on and you have a weak cdma/3g signal.
I'm glad to hear that CM7 seems to clear it up. Between hardware instability, the compass quality being degraded and the ever imposing presence of Blur, I'm thinking I'll never again own a phone with a locked bootloader if I can help it.
I also setup tasker to reboot my phone at 3am every night. Did this several weeks ago and I've not had a network access issue since. Not a great solution but if you got root it does seem to make the problem go away.
Hey, let me know what you think of it. I thought about grabbing one cheap and using it until a good 4G & dual core comes out.
Not sure I could go with the smaller screen though.

I have this issue on an unlocked dev dx which has slightly older hardware than the current DX's but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with the issue. I'm going to experiment with some different radio versions, because this didn't happen with all the different leaked GB radios. It wasn't until I think the 588 build that it started for me.
+1
I have had this issue ever since GB dropped for it. I am on my third X since GB. The first one smoked a memory card and battery. So I got a like new phone and all the fixings. Then the second one was also having the data issue and the camera took a **** (shutter was stuck closed). All of these have also not only rebooted randomly from day 1 with GB. Go to make a call phone reboots, send a text phone reboots. I thought it also was apps and heard about Google Voice causing it. So when I got this third one I only setup apps that it came with and nothing else. not even 2 days into having it the same **** was there. Less frequent but still there. They are going to get screamed at until I get a new device.
Switch to cm7. I love it.

Just bought this phone on eBay, the guy was advertising that the phone freezes and can be very slow. I've reset the firmware back to its original and have been playing around with it for a couple hours and it hasn't froze once.
Just asking if anyone knows what to do if the phone happens to start freezing again? As all i know is updating the firmware.
Hopefully it wont but im just throwing this out there to learn from you all
Thanks
The stock Rom in my opinion is a little flashy for the amount of memory and CPU speed we have, the reason it froze could be a software issue such as having lots of apps running in the background which with the low memory can seriously slow the phone down. This would probably have been fixed by your reset.
Rooting and then overclocking and removing bloatware certainly speeds the phone up a lot. I'm currently using a modded stock Rom and have used just about every tweak going and although its much faster I still get the occasional lag so I just put it down to the hardware.......... or lack of it.

Yea it does seem to be a good little phone for the time I've been playing around with it.
I'm planning on selling it on but I'm not sure whether to use it as if it was my only phone for a couple days to see how it plays or if I should just sell it. As I don't want someone complaining that it doesn't work.
Is it worth updating it further like you have with your phone?
Also what's the difference in the buzz version to the basic wildfire?

Plus, its sooooo worth rooting and flashing your phone with custom roms, even just deodexing (so you can get rid of the **** easyer) and flashing custom kernel to the stock rom is good.^^
