Helo all. Recently my desire z randomly reports that my gallery has no pics in it and usually sorts its self out after a quick reboot. Seems to happen randomly.
Starting to wonder if its a sign of a failing mem card?? Or internal mem problem?? Everything else seems fine ( apps ext...)

Your sdcard is formatted with the horribly unreliable and obsolete vfat filesystem, in order to make it compatible with all the flunkies who are stupidly using mswondoze as an operating system on some computer that they might want to connect with their phone. NOTORIOUSLY UNRELIABLE. The reboot is causing the filesystem to be scanned and repaired.

I cannot be the only one with this problem, please help me out so i can enjoy my nexus one fully. I just got this about two weeks ago.
The problem is my nexus keeps rebooting randomly, and it does not matter which rom is installed.
My phone is rooted with 2.1-update1 firmware, baseband is 32.26.00.24u_4.04.00.03_2 (ORIGINAL RADIO THAT CAME WITH THE PHONE), build number is passion-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys. Plus i always have about 180mb ram free and 90mb of internal space free. Also i am using APPS2SD with a class 6 card.
I have noticed it happening when using a specific app for a while, example using navigation, or playing a game, or listening music. Example where it does not do it is if i am checking my text messages or email, because that is something i check quickly then get out of the app.
Also i am not sure if i should start a new thread but it does apply here, if i use the car dock my phone will reboot within less than 2 minutes of using an app compared to if i use the phone by itself it will be about 5 minutes.
Here is what i have tried so far, I installed the three common roms for the nexus, enom-cyanogen-modaco (always doing a wipe before trying new one). I replaced the battery. I reformated multiple times the sdcard using RA_amons tool.
Now when i got my phone it already had the latest radio, so i left that alone. Is this why i get random reboots? should i flash cyanogen radio?
The phone does not reboot by itself on stand by mode, only when using apps.
PLEASE HELP SO I CAN ENJOY MY NEW PHONE, THANK YOU.

Try turning APPS2SD off.
Good idea, i did not think about that. But also in all the threads on xda, i have not found anybody mentioning getting reboots because of apps2sd. The reason i say this is because i really need to have this on, i ran out of space when i first got my phone and started installing apps.
A bad SD card might cause that, regardless of whether the Apps2SD partition or the vfat partition is affected. Might be more problematic with the Apps2SD partition, though. Try another SD card.
it happens to me using slacker on any rom... so i moved slacker to the internal memory.
remember apps2sd isn't technically stable. while it works for most apps, there are some apps that just aren't compatible.

I am a big user of slacker radio, and is one of my software i notice making my phone reboot.
How do you move just a single app back to the internal memory even though you have apps2sd?
Just to try to narrow this issue more, i have notice something odd.
when i turn on my gps and use google maps or copilot, then try to multitask and use any app that plays sounds or music it will make my phone reboot.
Also i have noticed with the car dock (without having gps turned on, if i try playing music using any app it reboots the phone. I have seen other people mentioning this, can someone confirm using the 3.5mm headphone jack while the phone is in the car dock will reboot the phone.
Just tried to install oclf in Nero beta 2 and it kept coming up with error message: unable to due to device busy. I followed all of the steps that I was given to the letter.oes any one know what means or how to fix it? I have never run a lag fix before and am quickly starting to feel I was better off just leaving it alone. Any help is appreciated.
It might mean it's not compatible with the rom.
Not sure I've never used Nero.
It works I'm using it but I've never seen this error before

It means you have apps installed on your sd card. You will have to move them to main app storage first. I think it is:
menu...settings...applications...manage applications...on sd card.

Thanks so much for the kind replies. I ended up unmounting my external sd card and than mounting it again and for whatever reason it now works . Oclf is installed and appears to be running as the device is much faster than it has ever been..
Make sure battey is fully charge or 42%.

EDIT:
Had to disable oclf as things just went haywire.Phone just started lagging like it never had before. I should say just not loading and had a couple of black screens. I disabled the oclf and also the EXT2 etc. and things got back to normal. WOW just checked and had 82% battery left and did CWM back up and all of a sudden about 10 mintues later I had 12 % left!!!! I use Battery Pro and have never had a problem with it.I have no idea what is going on!!!! Any one else have this situation? Any ideas what could have caused it or what I can do to rectify it?
Greetings all
I have a HD2 running Android. The ROM is DL DesireZ v2 internal. software number 1.72.466.4
I am at an understanding there is a new version out but the flash I have atm is 100% working besides one thing....the phone memory.
When I first flashed it I had loads of phone memory, I think it was like what, 150mb?
But I downloaded lots of apps, even used the Apps2Sd app to save space on the phone memory.
So after a while, I ran out of phone memory, how? I have no idea.
I have deleted all the apps I had and I still have <10mb space on my phone memory and I can not find ANYTHING on the phone memory taking up this space.
Anyone else have this issue?
My gf is going nuts at me over this, she said she may as well have the Win 6.5 back on it, since she had no apps anyways
Cheers,
Gib
yea i have the same problem..
all my apps are installed on my sd card or my ext3 partition.
still i have very little phone memory available.
somehow it looks like the phone is saving the app on the phone but then moving it to the sd card without removing it on the phone memory and causing data loss?
also when updating an app i just lose a lot of internal memory..
how is it possible that there are a lot of people with this problem (i searched the forums) and nobody know an answer to this?
.....connected to my laptop all the apps I have located on my ext SD card disappear which I understand but when my Atrix is unplugged the apps I have stored don't reappear on my home screens.
They have to be manually put back on.
Does anyone know why this is.....it's doing my head in.
I'm running the Alien 4 rom with Faux123 kernel if that matters.
Cheers

I don't understand why people move apps to sd on a phone that doesn't need it.

For the same reason you cant access anything else on the SD card when in storage mode, the OS has to unmount it while the computer has access, thus you cant use anything on it including apps, this is normal.
To the first reply, cause I want to and to the second, read my question again. I said I know why they disappear when connected but don't know why they don't return when the device is unplugged.
Never had the problem on either of my 2 desires and wondered if it was Atrix or maybe ROM specific.
Don't post unless you can help. Thanks.
Ah i missed that part :-(..... In that case no idea never tried it as I have 1.2GB free of app storage.
Do they appear in the apps list?
Tried restarting the phone?
Tried a media scan (not sure if it will pick up apps)
Sounds like your ROM is not scanning the sdcard after remounting it.

No probs Nap and thanks Dennis, tried it mate but no joy.
Looks like I'll just use internal storage for ease from now as it gets boring adding them all back after a while.
Thanks anyway tho
you could always buy the dual mount SD program, best .99c I have spent so far. It allows you to mount and still access the sd on the phone. it is very helpful for me.
I had an issue with my ringtones that are located on storage being jacked up during mounts. the issue would occur when I had a notification, call, text, anything that made a noise that used a custom tone while mounted to a PC. After unmount the notification would either revert to default or choose a completely random tone.
I downloaded dualmount a few months back and that issue was resolved. I havent had to reset my notifications except when I flashed to CM, and I can live with that
need your advice on this, I've just unbox my Galaxy Note few days ago, it keeps rebooting itself, one time I was copying data from the SD card to the other storage in the phone suddenly it reboots. I've had unknown reboots. Now using XXLA4 and seems doesnt solve the issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
Make sure all your applications are licated on internal SD

yep they are all on my internal SD ... any ideas> Thanks
1 Does it happen after you load your applications or on a clean Rom as well? Could be a app that's causing it.
2 the xla 4 install could have been a bad flash. Did you check the MD 5?

Do one thing just clear your dalvik cache.. i was facing same thing...
so now at the moment my note is in constant reboot mode, don't know if I should let it, I haven't root my devices yet I tried every method available on this homepage but doesnt seem to work at all. I tried installing some games on my note this morning, it failed to download and ever since that it reboots all the time. Any suggestion?
Edit: Now it stops rebooting when I plugged in the USB charger but it says the temperature of the battery is too low or too high and it doesn't charged

welcome to the club, i am in the same boat.
my phone works fine all times without sd card but sometimes goes crazy (restaring / freezing constantly for 7-8h non stop!) with sd card in situ.
some of my apps are on internal 1.9gb memory, some on internal 11gb memory, some on external card. trying to figure out how to force on stock unrooted device to force all apps to internal memory (1.9gb or 11gb) to prevent these issues. or will try new card. my old card works fine on my htc desire. dont know if the htc folders present on sd card are causing soem issues
have tried with apps2sd pro and stock app mnager to move apps to internal 11gb memory. but the phone has a mind of its own and some stay on 1.9gb internal memory some go to 11gb internal memory and some go to external sd card and i cant seem to force moveable apps to internal 11gb memory only instead of sd card as mentioned in the other concurrent thread today on this topic.
Hi,
I also had similar problem like this. It appears that the Android Program at times cannot seem to access the Ext SD card program/s installed and that will cause a reboot and repeated so.
I really do not why this is happening? It will seem to work fine ant reboot when the Ext SD is removed - but those programs installed in the Ext. SD will no longer be accessible.
There is a hidden folder in the Ext. SD ".android_secure" which contain all the programs transferred to that Ext. SD. If you empty this folder of it programs by transferring them to your PC and reinsert the Ext. SD card, it will function normally and you can access your file like photos, videos, music, and ebooks. But you will not be able to access your programs in the Ext. SD.
I had tried un-installing the apps in the Ext SD and re-installing them into Phone memory it will work but it will not transfer to Int. SD (the 11 GB) and keep informing me there is no Ext SD. This of course will eat up all the 1.9 GB of the Phone memory, which is not what I had wanted. Although I still have a lot of memory in the Int. SD (about 8 GB) it will not transfer there, why I am not sure.
Can some of the Android expert please look into this problem and advise. Thank you.

Hi,
How do you make sure all the Apps are located in the Internal SD?
I have an Ext SD and some apps are transferred there. I cannot transfer these apps into the Int SD.
I uninstalled the apps and reinstall them without the Ext SD and then try to transfer to Int SD. It will not transfer and a message "you do not have an Ext SD card"
Will appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
I don't have any apps installed on the internal SD nor external SD, I notice this that everytime an app failed to complete (eg loading) it goes to looping reboots. The last one I was playing some game something called mission, cannot remember the game name, it was loading all the time then I decided to switch it off and turn it on again. It goes constant reboot. I need a good phone which doesn't rebooot all the time ...

Its seems like you had an issue with leakage current on cpu. Its caused the battery drain fast and heat up. The only solution is to change the main board. Well, this is use to happen on htc phone. Not sure on sammy phone
