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. at&t user here. instead of waiting around for the official OTA update to 2.2 that we've been waiting to see come down the pipes for months with nothing to show for it, i decided to take matters into my own hands. I called up dell and told them my streak was stuck at the boot screen. The nice tech support lady told me run the factory recovery, (i didn't, just keep playing hot pursuit) and i told her there was no change. she immediately set me up for an exchange. So in 3 days (1 day processing, 2 day shipping UPS at no cost to me) i will receive a new streak and hopefully it will come pre-installed with the 2.2 update.
i will let you guys know if my plan works. and if not i'll get a new streak just the same.
and ya i could get 2.2 on there through flashing of 3 different roms but i really don't feel like going through that trouble when they can mail me one with it pre-installed.
cheers
couldnt just do the 2.2 update yourself?
Yeah no ****. Takes all of an hour to flash and reinstall apps. Brilliant

lol... Your not even sure it will be preloaded with 2.2. You'll just be back to square one with waisted time. Why even bother?? Also if it comes with the ATT 2.2, you know you will have all this extra bloatwear hogging up your memory you'll just end up tweakin your streak anyways at the end.

You also may be faced with the issue of it not being "broken". And they might decide to bill you...
Another thing to consider is the fact that you originally ordered an AT&T locked model. They will likely just send another AT&T locked model which I can tell you will still have 1.6 as I just received mine today and it as laden with 1.6.
This tactic is full of assumptions and totally without any precedence that it will work.
Full of Fail.
first of all they send me anew one before i send back my old one. second i don't really feel like wasting time going through the headache of updating a phone's rom 3 times just to get a buggy unofficial version of the rom. i can root the official and get rid of bloatware in a matter of 1 minute. second i get a brand new phone no matter what. no scratches or dings.
i'm not 15 anymore. i have a life and i cant be bothered with doing all these little mods and tweaks and ****. i have a life outside of technology.
umad?
LOL I am not 15, I work 60 hours a week, and play soccer 2 twice a week.
I guess but ur standard I have a lot of time in my hand.
I got the phone 2 weeks ago and run a quadrant test, and wasn't satisfied with it performance. Took me exactly 20 mins to upgrade to did Steve's version. Phone has actually not crashed once yet and its running better than the official 2.2.
How long did the phone call to dell take?

So Mr. Troll-opoly, I see you're here to just hoard all the Troll-points. Jerk move, man. Post a closed-statement thread, you beg to be critiqued. You decide to insult us, all hipster status ~ calling us kids.
Sure, why not? But if you can't handle the heat of actually knowing how to use your technology and just want everything user-friendly (child-proofed) then just get an iPhone. Lame ass.
son ive been flashing and modding roms since before you had your first cell phone
Just stop responding to his retarded posts
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
man you guys are seriously butthurt over this
I flashed official 2.2 straight from att 1.6 using QDL. I didnt have to jump thru 3 roms. Your method is good if u just want a new streak I guess, but to get 2.2, seems too much a hassle for me.
Btw ppl who have ordered the unlocked with 2.2 since dec. havent even received theirs yet, id be surprised if they gave u one so soon.
Hey xda,
I have been having this intermittent problem with my GT540 where I will be receiving and making text messages all the time and suddenly I will stop getting replies from one person only, my girlfriend. I know she has been texting because she has been telling me over MSN and facebook but these messages won't goto my phone. I put my SIM card in another phone and they all come through in one big heap.
Things I've tried:
removed and replaced SIM card
airplane mode on/off
update firmware to 2.1update1 stock
reflash firmware (3 store did this for me in attempt to fix the problem which fixed it for a while)
deleted all previous messages from her/everyone
put sim card in different phone (as said earlier, this downloads all her messages in one go, however this other phone is not my main phone and isn't ment to be used)
anyone have any ideas? please help me
This would be more if a long term solution, but this is why i like Google voice. All SMS stored online in case you don't receive one, for whatever reason.
Or maybe just replace your girlfriend..

Get a different phone, that's what i did. My gt540 had a mind of its own. When people used to text me i would receive the texts late. When people called me it would go straight to voicemail. it would usually take six tries to get through to me. My wife had the same phone and she was going through the same thing as me. This problem started from android 1.6. Back then i would just receive texts late once in a while. The more i upgraded the phone the more problems the phone gave me with its network. So finally i had enough and got a new phone a couple of days ago. I am now the proud owner of the Samsung galaxy s.
I know that the text/call issues dont affect everyone, however i had this issue and i know a couple other people who went through it to. I can't think of anything else to tell you other than get a different phone.

I had a prompt to download an update today. I skipped cuz I'm still holding out for root on this update that I'm on. I'm not actually having issues other than I can't root...
sent from my 2.3.3 unrooted piece o ****....
I was also prompted for an update today, after just being prompted for the GB update the other day. I was hoping maybe they were being true to their word and unlocking the bootloader.
It was a rather lengthy update process with two reboots involved.

Not to sound like a douche, but I think it's pretty obvious that Sprint & HTC plan on releasing an update that would fix the problems presented with the GB update.
There was the 4.22 update,GB
Then the 4.24 update,GB fix,
Are you guys saying there is a 3rd update being pushed?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm wondering the same thing...I've already had two updates. I took both of them because I like my evolution stock, only reason I ever rooted my hero is because Sence made it sluggish.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using Tapatalk
at this point in time....i am not confident that we will have any sort of solution in the near future, we will simply have to deal with this horrible android version of gingershitbread, i never tought id hate the awsomeness that is an EVO , but currently...i kind of do, clearing user data, resetting,done it all, it still sucks arse and glitches half the dam time,its horrible, if id have known i would have stayed with stock 2.2 (not because of root but because it actually friggin functioned better)
I waited a couple weeks and did the rooted stock rom, 4.24
Have had no issues after a full week of use.

the more i think about it you think he said that just to shut me up and so the sprint forums dont get filled up with posts about it ??? I dunno; like the corp store told me; "as long as you can make and recieve calls there is nothing wrong with your handset"
IT suxx to be stock its like having a maseratti that only goes 55MPH
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..

Another forum posting I've found..
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
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
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'll see how it goes...
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.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA Premium App
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?

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.

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.
