Hi, I've had a droid x for a few month now and just recently updated it to apex 1.4. Anyway my question is about my phone rebooting randomly. Seems like every day or two my phone will just reboot. I probably wouldn't even notice if it didn't make a sound when it booted up.
I bought the phone second hand and ran it stock for a long time although it was rooted. It has rebooted as long as I can recall. I was hoping upgrading the rom to apex 1.40 might fix that but no luck.
So my question is, is this normal? Does your droid x occasionally reboot itself?
Since mine does this do you think that it might be a hardware problem?
thanks for any help.

It's hard to tell what the cause is of reboots. It could be some many random things. Most running DX’s don’t have a random reboot quirk. Corrupt file/s is normally the culprit. I would back up all your information and apps (nandroid) and try a fresh factory reset. You can SBF or maderstcok if you wanted or, you can use the factory reset option on your phone and see if that helps. If not, a clean slate is what you might need. If after that it still reboots, you will need to SBF with RSD Lite or maderstcok and if it still persists, then I am afraid you will have to rather live with it or use it as a fancy paper weight.
Are you overclocked?

No I'm not overclocked and I was thinking it might be a bad file or something but after reflashing from stock to apex 1.4 and removing a lot of the blur apps I was having great speed and everything was running real nice. Then this morning it just rebooted...
Before I flashed it when I had it on stock rooted it was doing this reboot thing for awhile. Maybe every couple days. Not a huge deal since it reboots pretty fast and doesn't do it often. Just a pain sometimes.
Only things I think it could be now are bad hardware maybe I got a memory error or something. Or perhaps it is something I have installed that is causing it. I guess I could uninstall all my apps but then I'd have to cry so I guess I'll just live with it. I just wondered if this was just the baseline reliability of the device... Once upon a time I had a palm treo devices and it would crash and reboot all the time. Even when I replaced it it still did that. Friends that had one had similar issues. So for the palm treo it was just the standard that it would crash frequently. The bad thing is it would crash and not reboot
Reboots with Liberty 1.5
I am having the same issue with Liberty 1.5. I first moved from stock to Darkslide, and had no trouble. Then when liberty 1.0 released, I moved to that. I had other issues with liberty 1.0 but not reboots, but now with 1.5 I am getting reboots. I have already reformatted the SD card, restored to factory, and did a fresh install, but even though it seems to be less frequent, it has already happened twice today. I do have the throttle hack installed as I was getting clipped to less than 150k down.

There's a zip file on droidforums that kejar and jrummy posted that adds back some framework files that will hopefully correct the reboot issues ...take a look at it.

It may be placebo, but I feel like the patch has made it more stable, but at the same time I have had three resets and a black screen freeze since I have installed it. My guess is in the throttle hack. Tomorrow I will do a fresh install and try to narrow down the culprit.
Hey all,
I have a rather annoying issue and I'm not sure what the culprit is. Anytime I have to reboot my phone it stay on the white htc evo 4g screen for nearly 2 minutes every time. Once I see the CM7 splash screen it goes rather quick, just getting to that point takes for ever. So I flashed the sprint lovers rom and of course it is fine and quick to boot. Wondering if anyone else has the problem?
I've wiped everything many times in hopes of fixing it but no joy. Also I am running cm7.0.2 (which i just did a fresh install after wiping everything numerous times in hope of clearing this problem).
--Steve
What recovery are you using to wipe and flash with? I have had the same thing but it does not always happen. I have flashed the newer nightly 57 and have not seen that problem yet.
I'm having similar issue, it will hang at the htc screen till i do a battery pull and then start it up and goes right through. I'm using clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 which recovery is the best?
I have the same problem with cm7, and i reflashed it multiple times. This doesnt happen with any other rom i use.
This happens to me as well, it's rather annoying. You're using clockwork, I'm using amonra and it's happening to us both
Sent from MIUI IS BETTER THAN YOURS
I'm using Amon recovery. I guess it's time to logcat what is going on during that time.......
well during the time that it is on that white screen you cannot connect to the device, I was able to right before it flashed over to the cm7 splash screen. So it just sits at the white screen doing nothing???

I'm on myn rls5 and clockwork mod recovery version 2.6 I rebooted my phone last night and it hung on white screen for over 5 minutes till I did a battery pull... After battery pull it hung on white screen for 3 minutes then booted right up..
This is first time I've seen this
Also I did not flash anything... I booted into recovery then clicked reboot now.

this is not an issuie of being stuck, it just takes a about 1:40 to get to the cm7 splash screen. but the stick and sprint lovers rom boot normal.

I need to know if everyone have this problem ?
becaue its very annoying and for example sometimes when something doesnt work like GPS ! i need to reboot the phone and it takes 2 minutes on a white screen with full brightness which eats up the battery for 2 minutes as well ! this is a big bug is there any suggestion or explanation for this ?
Not sure of I'll be of any help but... I've noticed that after wiping cache that most roms boot slow. Maybe boot info in cache?
Also considering it doesn't affect the actual rom, and its quick to get to the unlock and home screen, vs sense which is slow to boot imo, its not really a bug... Besides if youre playing around to where you are rebooting you should be near a charger.

This happens to cm7/soap only.
I don't know why; I've read because fastboot isn't enabled or there are so many framework changes
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.

Nope, I'm on Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1 with latest Amon RA and have the slow boot from White HTC to the fresh screen then its quick , and I assume by soap you meant to say AOSP
For the longest time I have had this issue and said fml whenever i saw the white screen. i literally put the phone down and do other **** until it boots up. Until now, i thought it was just me. Good thing somebody finally decided to make a thread about it. Someone get a ROM dev up in this *****
Ok, so, after reading this I became aware of my boot time. I am pretty sure my phone boots completely in less than a min... CM7, newest timat, and I use vrsuperwipe a couple times and wipe all user, cache and dalvik. Though it is cool to see my unrevoked splash.
Sent by Supersonic!
I used to have this problem a while ago, i did different things and did some monitoring...
I believe the culprit is if you only wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing a new ROM(granting you want to do a clean install). When you do this, some files are still left in SYSTEM and BOOT. Granted most files are written over by a newly flashed rom, but some old files are left behind. The newer version of Amon-RA have the options to wipe BOOT and SYSTEM as well, or you can try using Caulkin's Format All.
I would try giving this a shot. Make a nandroid backup, then do a Caulkin's format all, then do a fresh install of the newest nightly. Don't time the first boot because that's always going to take long. After you reboot a 2nd time, I would see how long that takes.
If that doesn't solve it, just nandroid back and make believe you never saw this message =P
So tried to add this to the alpha 5 topic, but I do not have 10 posts yet.
I flashed from MIKG 3.0 to alpha 5 on Friday with no issues. I ran the fix for the google calendar and was happy with the overall setup. I added the COD tweaks and was impressed with the speed/smoothness of the system. Camera worked out of the box and didn't have any real issues until tonight.
Phone randomly restarted, no big deal. but then I noticed that i had degraded signal. did the *18 call with no change. I had to send a few texts and they all hung and finally failed. restarted phone and same issue occurred.
With the ROM still being a WIP I was not upset, it just isnt a daily driver yet, close though.
next issue was when i restored from nandroid. I hung at the boot screen for ever. Pulled battery and did full wipe and tried again to no avail. I was getting worried at this point. I did have an earlier nan backup of MIKG and that one worked.
Oh and much to my kids dismay angry birds would not load.
Not really looking for any help just trying to get my posts in.
Thanks!

nice info ive been trying to find out how the ics roms are going cuz i havent had time to flash myself. but in regards to your nandroid restore not working. what recovery are you using? (you should use amon-ra 2.3 if you aren't already) and also the mikg restores take a while to load because sense 3.0 is huge, if it doesn't load in about 2-3 minutes then just pull the battery and start it up (don't wipe) and it should boot right up in a reasonable time. it happens occasionally. and welcome to xda saw you had one post so i figured i would welcome you
I have flashed multiple versions of MIKG all wit CWM, it was up in the 7-10 min boot loop time. the kick stand was getting warm. I started with the batt at 90% and when I was finally back up it was at 20%.
I as well can't post. I came from cm7. I used from manager to back up cm7 then install alpha5. Worked fine for me. Using cwm instead of ra though. Not sure if that makes any difference.

You may have to do the GPS fix by going into sense rom

Yeah there's something always wrong with CWM I have used amon-ra since February and have had no problems with it. Also as a sidenote with amon my mikg back up with 300mb of apps took all of 5 minutes to back up and like 8% battery. If your backup drained 70% of your battery there is definately something wrong haha

Glad you posted this here.
I don't have enough posts either. I like the ROM but i had a few random reboots too. I flashed from Team Nocturnal stock RLS.5. I also use CWM for Nandroid. I was getting around in ICS well but had a few hangups. Calandar was the biggest issue, but I think I remember that being mentioned, so no biggie. The only major issue I cared about and I don't know if this has been any one else's problem, but my benchmark was significantly lower on this ROM. 805 on quadrant. Just wanted to post if anyone is reading. That would explain why it was a little jerky.
almost there!! lol
ics was really fun to play with. have u tried swapping to nova launcher? it seemed to free the rom up a bit and make it much more tolerable. I do like trebuchet because it seems to look better imo.
my gps seemed to work fine after i flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15760767&postcount=30 it did cut out eventually but that was after a flash to a 3.0 rom ( not to do the gps fix btw) and nandroiding back sooooo i dunno could have been something got fubared in there
there was a calendar fix somewhere in the 400 page post. you had to flash a specific gapps and calendar fix.
Flashed Decks a5 the day it was released. Loved it. I'm still running CWM and haven't had any issues. I did install the GPS drivers listed in a GPS fix post and use Waze for navigation. Quick lock and solid. Gmail sync and calendar sync worked as well, using Jorte as my calendar. I used the file titled ICSGoogleApps12-16. My only issues were the jerky video and most games I played wouldn't load.
Amazing work, I tried all the other ICS rom's and I had less issues and smoother operations with Deck's.
Great talent. I have no complaints cause I know it is all a work on progress. I can't believe my old EVO is running ICS before my buddy who just got a new phone...... priceless! !!!!!

I'm using the Google Calender sync and don't seem to be having any problems with it. Haven't tried that GPS fix though, gunna try that tonight.

I had an issue with the stock launcher on page 7 of the widgets. I just switched to Nova Launcher and have had not problems, in fact I personally like it better.
I've also been using this rom lately. Although it has some features broken, its still very very usable. Makes me realize how much I don't use "premium" features.

Also, this from us very snappy and smooth. But when I do quadrant benchmarks, it gets a score of about 945, which is lower than stock evo and lower than my 1500 scoring miui rom, but it feels faster nonetheless. Is this a product of the hardware acceleration?

Hi guys
I changed my rom for the first time from stock 4.0.4 to ultimate jb rom.here are the things i think you should know about.we are gonna talk about safe kernel,backup,ui experience,what you gain and what you miss and ofcourse benchmarks and battery.
Ok,probably you have read this "make sure you are on a SAFE KERNEL then you can wipe"
But which kernels are safe?
Well i used philz' kernel 3.99 for my jplr8.ofcourse you shoulf find the kernel suitable for your device.if you look around in xda you will find the kernels uploaded by the philz himself
After you flashed the kernel you will see that your recovery changes to a more userfriendly interface.
Note:the philz kernel brings a touch based recovery.some might not be able to scroll using volume rocker.but it worked for me.anyway try to use the touch interface as it is more safe.
Backing up:
I suggest that you backup the following:
1.a nandroid backup using rom toolbox or recovery
2.your sms using go sms pro cloud backup
3.some apps that you know have important data,saved passwords or... and ofcourse go sms so that you will be able to restore the backed up sms.you already know that you should use titanium backup
4.write down your contacts.that was the way i did that but if you have a better way plz tell everyoneunder this topic.
5.your s memos and notes.i lost my s memos in the process
6.write down your app names or just place their apk somewhere you know.also you can use titanium backup too but i am a lazy guy
After flashing the rom using philz safe kernel wait for the phone to reboot.it will take about 3 to 10 minutes showing samsung logo but dont worry that is normal.
Now do the first setups and go walk through the ui.
For the first hours the ui will be having some lags and some bugs but that is ok.the rom is just getting to know your device and they are shaking hands
After some hours the ui is buttery smooth,the scrolling and menus are best and i am really pleased with the overall exp.
What you gain:
Apps:new camera,new gallery,update me and some hubs that did not work for me becaus im from iran (this is unfair)
Widgets:coolest widgets you cannot even imagine.for example how about a fully operational task manager for your homescreen?yeah,thats awesome.you can even close apps from the widget itself.epic win for me
Motions:some s3 and note2 motions like direct call and etc.
Special samsung features:smart stay and smart toggle,multi window apps with hack that you can loadup almost 90% of apps out there.s voice,airview in gallery and most of the places,a samsung service guy that buys breads for you every morning(fresh hot breads) and so
Also you are able to record calls in this rom
What you miss:
Your contacts,sms,apps but if you have backup dont worry:thumbup:
Apps:samsung apps(ah,who needed this one?i dont miss it anyways),social hub(honestly i miss this one,but you have facebook so dont worry) i cannot think of any other app,plz remind me if you do
Widgets:honestly i have what i want in widgets and i dont miss any
Motions:nothing
Special features:nothing
BENCHMARKS:
i did a benchmark right now withouy reboot overclock or anything(not even closing xda app or any tasks.nothing really)
Antutu:7500
I know thats low but im sure if you reboot and free up some ram and do it again it will be over 9000(without overclock)
Battery:im really pleased with the battery.it works for me better than stock rom and i have about 4 hours of screen on wifi usage.it does not drop just like the 4.0.4
Final words:if you want a great experience and battery you should try this rom.smooth fast and powerful.i cannot say anything else but im proud of the guys behind this rom and i appreciate their job
Forgive my bad english caus im iranian.and also this rom does not have persian or arabic language keyboard but does not mix up the words.so it means you can read well but you cant write.im sure you guys will have this problem solved for your roms as im gonna look around for a way.when i find out i will tell you
PLZ PLZ SPEND TIME AND TELL US YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ROM SO THAT WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER

Being on xxlsc since two weeks without a problem, today was my turn of good luck.
I picked up my phone and forgot it was on the charger.
It got ripped out of my hand and fell flat on the floor.
Instead of finding it the way it should be, It smiled back at me with the Galaxy Note N7000 boot logo....
I tried to turn it off, but It wouldn't, it just went black for a few seconds and then came back in the same state. So I booted into cwm and chose for Turn power off.
This worked. So when I switched it back on a few seconds later, it went into boot animation and then froze....Turning off got me the same state as before, it smiled back at me with it's useless boot logo.
Repeated my earlier steps, same result.
Then I noticed with the device being shut down, pushing the home button didn't show up the battery state as it usually does. Neither did a quick touch of the powerbutton....
I didn't feel like to wipe and setup the phone again, so I plugged in the charger to see if that at least would function normally....
Plugging the phone in, without touching anything else made the phone come up in the middle of the boot animation, then it booted....
However I lost all account settings. Google account and email account info was completely wiped...
I entered those manually and all is working back.
So just a long story to share my experience, and maybe it might help someone someday finding himself in a similar situation...

please add to first post the known bugs, like when your os crashes (instability, flat battery, or you do battery pull) your device wont boot.
Fix: almighty safe kernel cache and dalvik cache wipe. Sometimes fix permissions is needed. If this doesnt work, do a nandroid backup, factory reset, nandroid restore and it could work(reported by others a couple times)
You can also suggest removing safe to uninstall system apps. That handshake your talking about is not 100% correct. More like 99, 9% You can increase free ram by removing these apps, and especially automatic test system app. This a leak with stuff on there that wont in final release That one will dramatically increase device gui performance after a reboot. lol.
all at own risk

Has your phone frozen to the point you had to reboot?? How many times...
I have not purchased a total of 3 of these devices what is for me another was for my buddy and one was for my girlfriend. I personally have experienced one freeze that made me reboot the phone my girlfriend who I convince to switch from an iPhone was beginning to love the phone but now is angry because she has been experiencing freezes a total of three times she just got the phone under a week. I'm curious to know how many others have experienced a freeze since they got the phone.

Not one freeze. I preordered mine and it's been golden.
Nope none of the phones have been rooted. She claims that the music player just got stuck causing the whole phone freeze to the point where she couldn't answer call. She says it's happened to her more than once. When my phone froze it was just once and the whole screen froze and couldn't do anything had to reboot and then things have been fine since then.

No freezes for me since April 26th, the day I received my preorder S4.
Not one lock up. Maybe she downloaded a bogus app?

Got the phone the morning of the release and I have been using it extensively since then and not a single freeze, crash, or reboot, or even the slightest amount of lag for that matter! :thumbup:
Sometimes crap like this happens with some random apps, if the problem consists maybe factory reset and reinstall each app one at a time to possibly identify the problem app.
That's just if it is an app though, I hope you can figure it out, this phone is unbelievable and the first of many many phones that has yet to have any sort of hiccups for me.

I got mine the 2nd day it was out so a lil while now. I had one crash when playing with the kernel tweaker in Rom Toolbox Pro and it rebooted and fixed what I screwed up haha. But a freeze or lockup then reboot no.

This is REALLY werid.. so I`ve had this phone since launch and it has been 100% amazing. I`ve had 16gb SD card for years that I have been using so I thought it's time to get a big upgrade, so I now have a 64gb class 10, which also has been solid for 4-5+ days. all of a sudden it froze on me. I rebooted many times and even switched out my old 16GB card and still would freeze (probably 1-2 minutes once its plugged in) I even did a factory reset just cause I didn't have too much on here and its still doing it . never had an issue like this before.

Is it a SanDisk? If so, filter all the 1 star reviews and read them here http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra...?ie=UTF8&filterBy=addOneStar&showViewpoints=0

I've fortunately had the above microSD for about 6 months and it has been fine. Seems like ~10% of them are defective.
I still don't trust mine and make sure I always back up important folders to dropbox via the dropsync app just in case it decides to fail on me
Samsung infact, though I must admit this may be fault of the SD card, I found a rouge folder which was read only that was used to do a mounting script. once I deleted this windows I have not had an issue *yet* on my phone.. perhaps a false alarm!
No freezing on mine yet, but there has been a little lag.

Has your phone frozen to the point you had to reboot?? How many times...
I have not purchased a total of 3 of these devices what is for me another was for my buddy and one was for my girlfriend. I personally have experienced one freeze that made me reboot the phone my girlfriend who I convince to switch from an iPhone was beginning to love the phone but now is angry because she has been experiencing freezes a total of three times she just got the phone under a week. I'm curious to know how many others have experienced a freeze since they got the phone.

I have been having my phone freeze on me when I use the multiple camera shot and I would have to reboot. I think maybe you need to install task killer or just hold home button and clear the cache when you feel that you been using lots of apps to clear the rams Cache.

That's definitely not supposed to happen. I had an S3 before this and this thing flies in comparison. I would try and figure out what you did that is causing your issue/perhaps in a defective or hardware issue and you should get a replacement.
And @op I think the issue your talking about was fixed with the update from MDC to MDL, I went straight to AOSP so I never had the smearing issue people were having, but I'm pretty sure they got rid of that from what I heard. Could be wrong though. Have you updated to MDL?
