G2 randomly reboots

My phone keeps on randomly rebooting. Is anyone having the same problem?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

I am experiencing this problem too.
It rebooted once when I was using the Camera (Youtube HD Video mode)
Once When Trying to open Gallery.
And once while just sitting here on my desk at work.
I want to love this phone so bad! I really like it so far though, and the keyboard issue is def. not a problem for me, and I think it's probably a design flaw rather than a manufacturing "defect" considering there are no springs. It is very hard to recreate the hinge problem while holding it naturally, including at a 45 degree angle in bed.

I also have had a few reboots and also media server force closes while running other apps. Never had these issues with my N1. Luckily I still have it. I'll give it a few more days and probably end up returning this G2 and going back to the N1.

I have been waiting for a good QWERTY phone with a fast CPU and a WVGA, passed on the nexus one and kept my G1. After running CM6 on my G1 (usable but sloooow) there is no going back for me after using the G2.
I sure hope this is something fixable in a firmware update

Does it reboot all the way to the white htc screen or the grey tmo g2 screen? Mine does it to the tmo screen and seems to only happen when the phone has been sitting for awhile and I pass through an area with no reception and when I hit reception again is when it happens. Almost like its turning itself off but stays on enough to look for signal and then turns back on. I only say this because on my drive I know the spots where I lose service and the phone does the reboot in those spots. Anyone else?

Yea I had this happen today when roaming in nw ohio I think it may have started after taking pics of my niece. I also have a problem with the memory card it says it mounted read only and none of my pics or anything show up in the gallery.

The incredible used to randomly reboot. I believe that was due to when there was low signal. It was fixed with an ota.

It goes to the G2 logo screen.
I have also had two occurrences of it being stuck at that screen and the power button not responding to long press or anything, only solution was to remove battery.

That would make a lot of sense, I'm at work right now and my signal is very weak here, goes in and out all the time.
What about others who are experiencing this problem?
Also, I am using a Class 6 A-Data 8gb microsd partitioned for ext3/swap/fat (not the included card), and so far each time it has rebooted the USB cable was plugged into a PC (for charging only, no debug or mass storage)
I wonder if any of this matches up with others who are having issues?

Mines always happened not plugged in and has never gotten stuck.

g2 reboot and mulitple force closes
i am getting the reboot issue also, it seems to be random when i am opening an app or going in to basically anything. also i am getting multiple force closes in basically all apps. i did a master reset and going to reload all apps and such and see if that fixes anything.

Could be something you have installed too I remember some people having this problem when nexus first came out and they built a list and narrowed it down

There's a thread on Tmo forums about this issue, the guy fixed it by transferring his number to the new sim card that came with the phone. If you haven't tried it, give it a try.

I updated my sim and haven't had any reboots yet

For what its worth, my N1 reboots occasionally, randomly when I may be doing something. Happening ever since I got it. Maybe sone kind of exception happening in Android?

I have transferred my sim also and am still having this problem. It was after going through a no signal zone, which sucks because I am in hotels and places where I have no signal all the time.

Thanks for this tidbit. I called Tech Support and had my phone number moved to the SIM that came with the phone. Probably a long-shot, but what the hell...

Well, after 2 hours on a fresh charge, I sat my phone down for 15 minutes. When I picked it up it was dead (black screen). Had to pull the battery.
Seemed to be a weird fluke. Did have another reboot, though it felt Android related versus hardware.

So it rebooted on me this morning in a spot with perfect reception. I was trying to open the xda app but it wasn't opening...almost like I didn't have any data. Fishy fishy..
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Mine actually rebooted twice on me, both at random times.
1st occurence - I was listening to pandora, skipped a song while the loading circle was going on, I tried to go back to the home screen and it did take me there but than rebooted all of a sudden - It went straight to the G2 gray screen with the T-mo logo
2nd occurence - again I was listening to iheartradio app, trying to switch to a different but it rebooted back to the t-mobile gray screen ----- i think iheartradio is not tailored for android 2.2 yet, so i thought it could be the culprit.. since it only supports upto 2.1 in the market.
but yea nothing else as of now... hopefully it wont happen again.

This happened to me for the first time today. I was on the web, pressed the home button and scrolled thru the screens to get to my widget and it froze on me and rebooted to the t-mo g2 launch screen.. it actually stayed there for a good 2 mins so I pulled the battery and rebooted after and it was fine.. is this an on going problem that'll be fixed soon? i hope?

3rd day with phone, 2 self resets already

Ok, so what happenned on the 2 instances that this happenned was all of a sudden I lost cellular signal and the phone made a sound and the signal bars switched to a circular sign with the line across it. I put the phone in airplane mode but nothing happenned, within a min phone restarted it self...
The phone is stock. No root or anything like that.
Ps... using the keyboard to type this, and its much easier compard to my old droids kb.

Weird. Haven't experienced that before myself. I have had it lose signal and display the circle with a line through it but it's not very often and only for a second or two.

Just did it again when I went into pandora. I realized its actually not resetting, but the phone freezes up and everything reloads. Including signal and 3G... the screen shutz off and you can't turn it back on until it reloads

Your second thread mention "problems" you have with your phone. Go to a Sprint store.

I agree exchange it urs must be defective. A couple others have hd same issue.
Sent from my Epic 4G

I had the same problem on my original Epic. I had three problems in total on that phone.
Samsung's crap coding that caused the phone to not sleep. (fixed after 2nd update)
The phone would randomly restart itself
During calls, the screen would freeze while illuminated. The call wasn't interrupted, but aftwards I had to pull the battery.
In the end I had to exchange the phone for another. Only problem was, the new phone had that couple millimeter gap with the slider. Sprint said it wasn't enough for third exchange though.

Man, this sucks... Just when I put all the apps I wanted on it and got it running the way I want it...
I'm gonna give it 1 more week see what happens, then return perhaps for another epic. I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking to the epic though, i really like the camera capabilities of the phone.
I'm actually going to run 4 tests this week
I'm going to leave the phone untouched from 10:00 to 21:00 and note the percentage in battery with juice defender on/off and also noLED on/off, see what happens... to make it even, i'll just leave the phone in my car, and it won't be used except it's usual email checking/texts/missed calls etc.
my droid unused for that period of time usually was around 80%. it was running a custom rom with 1 ghz kernel as well, so same power requirements i'd say. except epic has a bigger battery.

Battery is pretty bad with the Epic but Im not surprised at all about that. I have about 50% right now with heavy texting, a few phone calls, and listening to music. 8hrs unplugged. I think it would make it to 14-15 hrs easy with heavy use.
Phone calls kill the battery the most I believe.
And I'm using Juice Defender.

Mine was dying with heavy texting, some GPS and browsing within 6-7 hours, no phone calls....
I did a little test today.
When I'm at the police academy my phone is in my car from 1000 to 2100. My rooted 1ghz droid would be at 80% by 2100. it'd get it's regular share of texting/emails and all that I couldn't look at until 2100.
I did the same thing today with the Epic, with juice defender, it was at 79%, so pretty much exactly the same...
tomorrow I'll do the same test with JD off and see if it makes a diff

I have just installed Juice Defender (free version) and using it as installed. I'll see if it helps. I have a question about the status of TRAFFIC, it is listed as "Leave Data/WiFi enabled while >50KB/15s", what does this mean? I can guess that JD will leave the Data connection ON, even if it is scheduled OFF, if the phone is sending/receiving data at a rate greater than 50KB/15s. Is this close?
Thanks

Mine has been doing this every once in awhile. Even in a good signal area, its like the radio randomly decides to reset. I'm currently trying to see if its a software or hardware thing.

Sadly the modem was backported from the samsung moment. It has only partof it power managment system in it it will befixed swhen froyo comes

I am having the same problem with my phone suddenly. If I have multiple apps open, such as radio, browser, and facebook at the same time, it seems to cause it to reset itself. It's not a full hard reset, but more of a soft one, screen goes black and everything starts up as if the phone was just turned on.
Maybe it's time for a replacement?

Thank You For Axura!

Just want to give thanks for this rom to whomever put it together. Master? Not sure I'm not to involved with the roms usually. But my Vibrant is an entirely different phone now. Seems to be using the hardware now to its potential. I can't get over how smooth the phone is. No more hitching or lag when you scroll around the screens. My programs all work better now. Stitcher Radio now loads up quicker. Doesn't reset or stop on its own. One little thing is that the orientation seems to be off. When I tilt the phone horizontally for example the image doesn't change over. Regardless, this is a small thing compared to the overall improvement of the device. I'm a newbie to flashing roms but now can't wait for the next one!

lol..thanks once again! I thought it was google syncing! Working fine now.
@azure100. Last night I went to plug in the phone for charging before going to bed. About 10pm. The phone read 71% battery. Kinda shook my head in disbelief. Especially since I get up at 5am! I didn't have my phone on a charger all day but I did have it USB'd to my laptop for a total of about 30mins moving some files and playing around. I'm sure it picked up some charge there? Still, it seemed like a lot of battery life left for that time of day. Usually I make it until about 8pm before the phone is fully out of juice. I'll keep a eye on it today. I won't hook it up to any charger or pc and report back.

Ok so I got three hours before it changed from 100 percent. Battery on this Rom is really good

I wake up at 6 a.m. and battery will last me until around 11 p.m. That is the longest I have let it run without recharging. Normal use. Ill have about 25-30% bat level at that time. I think this is pretty awesome. What I mean by normal use is I am making a phone calls and just checking email. No connecting to wifi etc.. Obviously there will be more battery drain then.
Charging seems to take a while. Even from the wall it just feels to charge slow. But not snail pace or anything. The battery is def lasting longer than before I flashed it.

I've been going back and forth between Axura2.2.5.9 and NeroV3 lol. To me, these ROM are both awesome. It really comes down to customization preferences and how each specific ROM reacts to your individual Vibrant. For my Vibrant, the battery is a little bit better on NeroV3. GPS is somewhat comparable. As a matter of fact, I've been manually customizing my Vibrant by taking bits and pieces of what I like from the Axura ROM and incorporating onto my NeroV3 core.
BTW: Is it just me or others simply do not care?????? In Axura2.2.5.9, the audible tone is not working on the dial pad even when the option is enabled in settings.

Ok. Two days ago I put a newly charged battery in at 3pm. It didn't fully die until after 10pm last night! So over 31 hours on one charge. Granted, Ive been sick so the phone hasn't been used as much. Phone calls. Email but no games, gps or anything like that. WiFi, Bluetooth on. Still, even with light use, the most I was getting is 15 hours thats it. So this rom looks real good for battery

Also want to throw a quick thanks out. I have really started enjoying this phone more than struggling with it. I might even hang onto it for a bit.

Have you tried Set CPU? With Axura and some custom underclocking profiles from set cpu along with managing my wifi/data via toggles on my homescreen, I am gettting really good battery life

I have been on Axura for over a week now and im consistently averaging 13/14 hours on a full battery charge with.moderate use. My current charge is in its 23 rd hour.
Im reluctant to flash any other rom coz I like this one so much but I still want to flash lol

[FIXED] having issues.. EDIT! ram issue! Edit 2: fixed! sd card issue

im not sure when this started but it seems like every rom, every kernal i use now my phone will close apps to a black screen and freeze up for different lengths of time. was doing it in stock, and now a custom rom. tried different kernals... seems to be worse when the phone first boots up. its almost like a force close but slower and i don't get the force close message. help
Edit: ok i brought up the ram manager and my ram would start around 250 and climb up before my eyes until the screen blacks out.... how do i figure out what is eating up the ram.. and why does it stop?

yeah odined to stock ec05 and it was just as bad. rebooting the phone actually made it worse... seemed like it took forever for everythign to stabilize. phone also seems to get hot but i could be wrong about that. not the battery but above the battery near the camera

Quite often this is caused by restoring old data over a new rom using a program like titanium backup. Sometimes you can get away with it between similar roms but restoring Froyo data on to a gingerbread rom will almost always cause lots of FCs.

Isn't the spot right above the battery where the chip is located? Have you been overclocking your phone like I have at 1400 everyday? I was wondering if I have been flashing too much. I saw some of these issues myself. Odin started freezing as well but it seems to have smoothed out. I thought I may have wiped out my phone

When did you purchase your phone? did this start to happen after you started loading custom ROMs or since the start?
What is your current setup right now? Do you use RFS or EXT4?
What hacks have you loaded to your phone, and after what even that you performed on the phone did you start experiencing this issues?

I had this same issue. I was to a point of chamging phones.
I decided to watch 5 different tutorials/youtibe videos on how to odin back to stock.
In that process, 3 of the videos had different options checked. Yes, I decided to try each way, restoring apps/data from Titanium, each time.
After the first 2 attempts, and still seeing the freezes, I started to get some kind of com.google.apps process force close errors.
I was really ready to beat my phone up at this point.
So, after deciding, I've had enough, I said I would do it ONE more time. (There was still one more checkbox that another video was showing...)

Sry, my fat fingers pressed submit.
Anyhow, Ive 0 programming experience so, all of this might kust be a lucky fluke. When I odin'd, I checked all three options. Re-Partition, Autoreboot, And F. Reset Time.
Only 1 video of the 4 I watched said to do this.
I then restored my apps and data back w/ Titanium.
I did make sure that any data from OEM apps, was not broight back, as a precaitonary on my part. It was really driving me nuts. Hope this helps....

crap well it wasn't TW4... uninstalled it last night. today rebooted and same thing.... its so strange it only happens the most after i reboot the phone. black screen with the status bar up top. if i touch the screen the button lights will come on ... if i swipe down the status bar it will eventually come down.. but with a ton of lag
i guess i'll nandroid backup and start from scratch with odin again. bone stock no root see what happens.
EDIT: just noticed that the modem seems to reset every time it does this. didn't see that before cause it doesn't always make the no signal sound. but the bars on the status screen go dark and the little x pops up above them before the home screen redraws. so basically whatever i'm doing goes to black screen.. times out for 10 min with just the bar on top, modem resets and goes back to the home screen

ok i brought up the ram manager and my ram would start around 250 and climb up before my eyes until the screen blacks out.... how do i figure out what is eating up the ram.. and why does it stop?
man this is nuts... i've got android system info running and i'm watching the processes tab... all the programs start usign memory, then android starts killing them off until they are almost all gone then i go to black screen... i dont' know what the hell is going on
edit: tasks is showing android.process.acore twice, package com.fede.launcher. both are using 34.89 MB and have cpu at 100... however total CPU usage is only showing 7%

EL30 stock observations

I have installed the EL30 update after going back to stock EC05>EI22. Here is what I have observed about EL30 (I have not applied any other fixes nor rooted yet):
-The upside down horizontal calibration for compass is fixed
-Keyboard lag is gone
-GPS improved from locking only 4 satellites to 6-7 (the GPS Fix I think, could can allow more, upto 9-12 under best conditions), so I think this made be good enough, but balancing power for battery consumption.
-"Android System" service aka CIQ is definitely gone.
-Haven't experienced speaker feedback squeal yet, although I did on EI22 after I had used voicemail and google voice search.
I have installed CWM 5.0.2.7 and rooted. I had to do the CWM flash twice (once to get SU on and open Root Explorer so I could delete the install recovery script, since there's no EL30 Kernel yet that takes out the install-recovery.sh script.

No, I'm getting about the same signal with my Airave. The wifi looks like more bars than EI22.

Has the rotation sensor been jerky for you in the past (skymap/yelp/other AR apps) and has EL30 made it smooth again?

Seems snappier. GPS is definitely better. Had a lock as good as 1m today for a short time while driving around and it was cloudy. 4m was the norm. Will test the modem over the next few days.

Man, if the keyboard skip is fixed and the GPS too, I'll be happier than a dead pig in the sun. The wife and I made a run from Houston to Ft Worth this weekend. I had to pull the battery about 7 times on the trip to get the GPS back on track. Extraordinarily annoying when you are trying to find your way in a place you've never been before.
No OTA here yet, probably will go the manual route. Thanks for the good news on the update, look forward to having a phone I don't have to cuss out all the time!

Preliminary results for me with EL30 modem running EI22 Legendary is: ~7% TWS while at home. I'll report back after a normal day at work and then going home.
With EI22 modem I would average ~3% TWS.
It's a shame I'd have any TWS since I live in a metropolitan area. Stupid Sprint coverage.

I think a lot of you need to remember that sprint is doing all kinds of stuff to towers lately and other issues may make your signal bars report differently. I'm still on ei22 and while typing this I watched my signal bars go from 0 - 2

GPS has improved
bug where GPS icon remains on screen after GPS has been shut off has been fixed
battery life is considerably worse

You may want to try resetting your A-GPS state using GPS Status app in the Market.

i've noticed considerably better battery life, but I am rooted and use TiBu for freezing stuff.

Yes rotation sensor was upside down starting in EB13 Froyo and has been until EL30. You could fix it though by doing your horizontal calibration upside down. Now you don't have to.

Funny, I was just about to post a little message about my stupidity and battery life.
Since I keep things mostly stock, my upgrade routine was to backup apk/data, and system data in MyBackup, then reflash back to stock EI22, install the EL30 update, do the CWM/root dance, and restore stuff in MyBackup. All went well, but my battery life was about %70 of what it was. For the first 2 days I just figured I was playing with the phone too much, but today I started plowing through the settings. What I found was that even though I had restored everything in MyBackup, not every setting stuck. For instance, Facebook was set to update every hour even though it had previously been set to never update. I also had to re-freeze DRM after the install. There may still be more things I haven't found.
The point is after an upgrade, especially if you have re-installed stuff, go through every setting you can think of that could be killing your battery. It's possible that some app has been inadvertently set to connect too often and that is what is killing the battery too fast.

That was the very first thing I tried and it hasn't made a difference.
