I know its early and I'm all for sticking it out with this thing but just wow. Apart from having to reboot it at least every day if not every day, I came home today and the thing wouldn't even turn on. It must have locked up in standby and I couldn't get it to wake up. I had to hold down volume up and power to revive it. I'm wondering if its some app I have running in the background so I uninstalled a few and will see. Is this common or am I the unlucky schmuck.
I have not had anything that bad.... just a few FC's ..Maybe an app or launcher?
I get hundreds of fcs but not restarts... I would return that pronto. My fcs usually consist of XDA and Facebook...

I get neither....no fc's or freezing...I'm rooted and on the latest update
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
The only instability I have is with the browser locking up (not force closing, just not responding to input), and that seems to have started after updating to 3.0.1 (but before installing Flash).
i haven't had many fc's at all...maybe 5 or so since I bought it wednesday.
Overall its been running really smooth
Don't get me wrong.. its smooth as butter but closing the Facebook app is almost always a fc not to mention the launcher reloads often when old apps are closed. I am rooted as well with the latest update

I haven't had any FCs or lockups. Its been been perfect and rock solid.
I have had mine reboot and freeze while in standby quite a few times. But it ain't no worry, as long as it turns back on.

Mines been pretty solid, a few fc's here and there but I've never had to constantly restart it.
Day 8 without a restart. FC's here and there.

Good to know. I'll keep uninstalling crap until it stabilizes.
Yeah most of the instability, if not all, are just apps that aren't fully compatible. I've had my fair share of FC, but its all app based.
Aka Facebook, etc.

Device hardware can of course vary or be faulty, but these problems (force closes, not foreclosures lol ) are mostly due to buggy software and user error.

Same I report all of them too.
I also leave comments on apps that I've tested and failed or has poor implementation on Honeycomb. Hopefully, if devs see enough complaints, they'll put higher priority on updating their apps for Honeycomb.
I am interested to know what programs people are running that crash alot. For me, it was just the xda app and now after the last update I haven't had one with that program. Both my Xoom and my wife's have been running great.
Now just give me flash and I will be stoked

Facebook, browser although good has CRAZY weird stuff at time (delayed typing, delayd pinch to zoom in/out, soft force closes, I even got flashing web page and previous app) media player with proper coding has some very infrequent flash to home screen then back to movie.
None of this really bother me and I know Facebook isn't properly gingerbreaded, its just good for all of us and google to be informed.

Nope may want to check the latest app that you have installed or any recent updates
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Yeah backtrack your apps install and see what is causing the FC's.
I have two with a third on the way(long story) but nothing wrong with any one of them. Before the update the first one had a few lockups on the browser but after the update neither one had any lockups or FC's.
I have installed all types of apps just to see what will or will not work. Very few FC's if any at all. But I kept track of which apps caused the FC's to remove them until they get updated.
Its on apps like CNN and Facebook which have been working fine before. I guess I will try to track it back.
i get a lot of force closes with the browser and the CNN app. try killing the process as well as the cached process. theres two options. you will see it under 'running applications'
Only force close for me from the Facebook app so far is when I try to load the home screen widget. Slightly annoying.

I've had more FCs than I do on my rock-stable Droid 2 with Fission, esp. in the browser, but I suspect it's because Honeycomb is new.
It'll get more stable as Google handles bug reports and as devs learn how to use the new APIs.
Also, strict mode, which I need to get on, myself.
The FCs I get are retarded. I only seem to get them when I'm exiting out of the app anyways. I did get a FC once when I was using the Facebook app going from the stream to the home page thing, but it didn't actually close the app. So it's more annoying than anything.
the facebook widget and app are not designed for honeycomb, and many have stated it FCs. i would not use it for now. I use the app and it seems to work fine (not pretty, but works).
Also, OP. I used to get a tons of FCs in the browser and CNN. I cleared caches and uninstalled, but sometimes still the same thing. Try rebooting. I know it sounds cliched and the standard windows answer, but it honestly worked for me. I haven't had a FC in a while...knock on wood.
facebook is hit and miss. Sometimes after a boot the facebook app will work. Sometimes it won't. When it isn't working it will just fc constantly and is completely useless. The add account never works. The widget never updates.
Facebook is uninstalled till they fix it.
I get FC randomly, on random apps.. I report all of them.

Iv been getting a lot of FC's also.. even before I installed apps.. just seems that this is a lot more buggy then it should be.
Only FC I get is with the xda app, but that bug has been around for a long time. I dont use the facebook app and stopped using the CNN widget due to it slowing down the home screen. The app works fine for me though. On stock 3.0.1

maybe sony changed the cpu frequency table in the new kernel, would account for the reboots
2.3.3 fixed it for me.
Just to be clear my phone does not reboot it shuts off and the only way I can get it back on is by popping the battery and putting it back in.

That is your punishment for using task killers
The only possible reason to use a task killer anymore is if for some strange reason you want to kill your battery as fast as possible.

It's still better than my Captivate and Desire HD, though.

I've had resets after quitting games too.
I only had one random reboot during phone call (-_-)
But except that everything's been fine.
I've had two random reeboks since getting the phone.
Once on 2.3.2 and once on 2.3.3 whlist using Opera mini.
Opera Mini also randomly closes on me way too often, I think a lot of apps aren't fully compatible with 2.3 and it causes the OS to spaz out and shut down.
cpu's are designed to reboot if they detect any kind of extreme (heat or high/low frequencies ect) some cpu are very sensitive to very high or low frequencies, if sony has changed the tables, it could be somthing as simple as a big jump in the frequency at high load time that is making the cpu reboot the device, check the log function in setcpu, i think you maybe able to change the frequencies, i know with my DHD and the same cpu, i had some reboot issues when the devs started messing about with the tables

I've been on the latest EF02 with the EF10 modem without a single problem. Some have issues, some dont so it's hit or miss
I have also been running the EF02 with EF10 modem since samfirmware released it. Only issues I have is sometimes GPS quits but I don't use it enough to care right now, some programs are not available to me via the market for now ie. MLB At Bat but Netflix works awesome so not a bad tradeoff, the Flex9 keyboard I can't use because I cannot for some reason turn the underline off. It constantly underlines everything I type in email. As far as the physical keyboard at least for me no it's not fixed, it still skips inputs. All in all though I'll take it over Froyo personally because my Epic was a pain with Froyo and EF02 DID solve the annoyances I was having Froyo such as crap battery life, random shutdowns and reboots, programs freezing etc.

My 4g constantly requires a battery pull once a day, this is my 4th evo and all of them are the same. evo freees, have the pull battery to get it back working again, getting tired of it and it's not rooted.
What's the cause for this and why haven't htc produced a fix?
Also I'm thinking of picking up something else cheap and selling my evo, Motorolla photon or htc evo design? what's a better be?
What's the resale value of my evo 4 g/ 120?
Are you updated with the latest OTA? Have you done a factory reset recently?
Yes, all my evos freeze.

I had 3.0 and it frooze too, it's either all the evos freeze or its a program I'm running.

It's something your doing, because the EVO 4G has been around almost 2 years and never heard of anyone having that problem before. And even if someone did have that problem on 1 phone, it wouldn't happen on a 2nd, let alone 4.
So I highly doubt changing to a different phone will help you at all.
Mine freezes occasionally, usually when I'm impatient and try to do a bunch of stuff right after it boots up and is still loading. Other than that, no freezes or other problems. It could be an app that you always have installed, maybe you should try factory resetting and see if it still does it. If it doesn't, slowly reinstall your apps until it does, then you'll be able to narrow down the problem more easily.

That being said the EVO Design 4G is a nice handset, my brother has one...with little rooting or 3rd party ROM support as of yet...I don't think there's even a forum for it on XDA.
Only time my phones freeze is when I try to do something right after boot b4 the media scanner finishes running or when I try to push the clockspeed past its limits just to see what will happen like the time I clocked the evo to 1.6 and it would freeze the bootani and need to be restored or on the et4g I tried clocking it to 2ghz and it would boot but then go to sleep of death once the screen goes off gotta pull the battery to turn it back on
Yeah, I've had my Evo since launch day, and the only time I have to do battery pulls is when I've tried clocking too high, or running a really experimental ROM.
The problem is on your end, I would say. Good luck. There's already good advice posted here.

There are tons of apps and mods you can use unrooted, you can sideload apps on any rom by checking the unknown sources box and downloading and app from the internet and installing it even if it isn't mean for your device, and there are many mods you can do to unrooted devices such as 3rd party launchers, some scripts that can be run that don't require root, changing the SD read ahead cache, setting up profiles for CPU clockspeeds in apps such as setcpu or something similar, plus he mentioned he wasn't rooted then said he was rooted, he could be trying to use an app that requires root on an unrooted device, the possibilities of app conflicts on a rooted or unrooted device are near endless, especially if you use sideloaded apps that are cracks or warez such as games
