It's pretty odd. What happens is I leave my phone in my pocket for a while. Eventually, seemingly through no effort of my own, I'll pull it out and it will be almost literally on fire. When I wake the screen up, I can see I have no cell connection, the battery is almost dead, and no services seem to be showing in the notification bar. Then, I unlock my screen, and there are a bunch of crash dialogs showing. Typically the one on top is that the Market has crashed and must be force closed. There are about 8 of these dialogs and as soon as I close them all, my phone reboots. After rebooting, I am in the same state. No services started and a pile of dialogs after unlocking, I have to pull the battery for several minutes to let the phone cool down, then when I start it back up it sits at the Rethinking Possible screen for almost 5 minutes and afterwards my phone is working normally aside from needing a charge.
Has anyone else seen this problem??
i think you should try factory wipe.
if no luck then flash it with gingerbread .

Reset to factory, call moto and request a new battery just in case. The battery should be free if you are still under warranty and they even pay for shipping.

I have a NEON300, in other words, the US version with 20 key and US 3G. The problem I experience once in a while is sort of like the freezing people are mentioning. When mine freezes, or at least when I finally notice it has frozen, I get a blinking green or yellow LED, the phone is warm, and my battery is almost dead. Almost like I was on a call for 2 hours but I wasn't. The unit will not respond to any buttons or anything. The only way to wake it up is to pull the battery and restart. Then it works fine again for about a week. Has anyone else had this issue and possibly found a fix? Thanks.
I've had my US Dual for about a week now and I've had mine freeze at least twice. The LED's are normal, but the screen and buttons are non-responsive. The reset button under the battery cover does work and it resets fine and works. It seems to happen to me when I'm browsing the web.
I've got the US 20 key version with SPB mobile shell and the diamond theme running. Mine seems to freeze about 1-3 times per day. The led lights are still blinking but none of the buttons work or opening the phone. I have to to a soft reset with the stylus and then everything is back to normal...
It only does this when it powers down, i.e. auto sleep, then it won't wake back up.
No fix that I know of.
What a BS problem to have. I hope HTC comes out with a fix for this. I don't know about your guy's phones but mine gets warm and the battery drains for some reason. Maybe I will uninstall all of the 3rd party apps and see how that goes.
I realized today that I hadn't had a random reboot in a while. From day 1 I could count on 1-2 random rebooted with my Atrix.
Sure enough, my uptime is 280hrs+, which is in line with when I took the OTA update. My wife's phone appears to be the same, and it was rebooting at a similar rate to mine before the update.
Both are rooted/non market enabled but not modded.
How's your stability been on 4.1.83?

I had one strange reboot this morning, my phone had been lagging up a lot, along with the screen not turning on when I pressed the sleep button.
I look down a minute later and I see the Motorola logo. But afterwards it seemed just dandy.
Random reboots
I just bought this phone Friday at 7:45pm. It was working fine when I got home Friday night after purchasing it. I hooked it up to my pc and got the needed updates to 4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US. Saturday morning I installed one game bejeweled and advance task manager before heading out to work.
I got back home around 1:30pm and started setting up my contacts on the phone. Around 6:00pm I left the phone plugged into my pc and heard the phone rebooting from the other room. At first I thought maybe there was an update and that's why it was rebooting.
Two hours later it did the same thing again with no warning about a reboot when I was manually adding new contacts. I notice there was another update available to version 4.1.83 which I now have installed on the phone and it's still rebooting on its own.
I also noticed that my battery was right at 60% and while plugged up to my pc it was only recharging 10% every hour on the hour not sure if that's normal for this phone.
(Two hours later battery power at 90% with a solid green power light visible but taking forever to reach 100%)
Also right after the 4.1.83 update the phone would reboot and then the battery light on the phone would just randomly flash red with the motorola logo sitting on the screen. I had to pop the battery out, waited for about 30's before putting the battery back in and powering it back up and it still sat on the logo screen with the red flashing light.
(The battery is now at 100% but 3mins after unplugging it from the pc it displays 90% again all I've did is watch it reboot on its own.)
I removed the battery again but waited for about 5mins before powering it up and this time it actually booted up like normal and about 30mins later another reboot.
I also noticed that as soon as I finish watching a video with youtube the phone reboots a few seconds after the screen goes to sleep. Now as I am writing this comment I decided to uninstall that advance task manager program and do a reboot. The phone is at 80% and after I watch about three videos with youtube the phone didn't reboot.
I have no idea what's up with this phone and I really like it alot except for this mysterious rebooting not to mention other people experiencing random reboots. I read online where a lot of people where saying it was due to a bad battery and that they got a new battery from Att and the problem went away.
I am really thinking about turning this one in for a new replacement but some people are saying even after doing that they still kept having the problems.
Could this really be something wrong with the updates that is causing issues with the phone or is it just a bunch of bad batteries?
Battery?
Back again, in the post I made earlier I mentioned how the phone wouldn't randomly reboot when the battery was around 80% well the battery charged to 90% and the random rebooting has started up again and it has rebooted 3 times back to back now that it is at 90%.......I think I am going back to the Att store when they open today and try getting a new battery............

If I were you I would get a replacement phone. I did have one random reboot since updating to 4.1.83 and that was the first ever I've noticed with my phone. Otherwise I haven't noticed any issues. As for charging via a pc I did hear that was slow. I charge via power outlet or using a car adapter and both are fairly quick. Good luck.
Battery?
I decided to do a factory reset on the phone first and the funny thing is after the reset, the phone still showed that it had the latest update installed even though I still had to go through the setup process just like when I first purchased the phone. So far it appears to be working and hasn't rebooted on me yet. No rebooting after playing Youtube videos either. The only small pet peeve I have at the moment is the Facebook & MySpace contact photos will not show up for some unknown reason in the contacts sections, they're just empty picture frames. The contact photos that do show up are the ones from my google gmail account and I manually added those online myself so those automatically transfer when my phone syncs with the gmail account.
And the MySpace widget doesn't show a photo as well but the info in the widget is current. That's way better than experiencing random rebooting when you really need your phone the most.

This is normal. A FR cleans all of the user data reseting it back to a "clean" version of the flashed rom.
I can say that I have also not had any reboots since .83 but it is also the first time i have loaded gingerblur.
My phone under a full charge will go off. The problem is, there's no pattern, it will turn off because of different apps, sometimes in a middle of drafting a text message, or while using twitter. So I ruled out the possibility of being apps that causes issue.
When phone off, and when I attempt to turn it back on the phone will not get passed the boot animation, sometimes it will, and will automatically shutdown right after. There are times it will stay on pass the lockscreen and go no further unless plugged.
There are too many inconsistencies in battery life, if phone goes off at a given percentage, it will not display even close to the same battery level after reboot.
At first I thought it might be the ICS ROMs (CM9 by elk... and Ice Cold Insomnia by Cnote...) then I reverted to CM7.2 RC1, but I get the same problem across the board.
I downloaded a battery drainer app from the market. Will drain battery til I get 0%, then will spend an hr or more charging phone til its full, while it remains on. I timed the amount of time it takes to turn off under ICS or GB, no consistency at all. Anyone has suggestions as to what might be happening to my phone?
My problem is a little different from what I've mostly read. I use my N10 about an hour a day, then let it sit for 23 hours. About half the time when I turn the screen on, I find that it shut itself down at some point. Sometimes there's no notification light, and sometimes the notification light is actually blinking (weird).
I turn it back on, it boots up, life is good. It doesn't freeze while in use. It also doesn't keep time well. Between the time and the shutdowns I can't use it for an alarm, which would be nice.
Anyway, should I try to return it, reset it to factory defaults (I believe I did this a couple months ago), or is this normal?

Sounds like the problem I worked on for two months, commonly called sleep-of-death. I ended up RMAing mine, and the new unit did not have this problem. I suggest you RMA, even though its a bit of a hassle.
do you have to hold the power button longer than usual? typically with sod the unit is on (hence the notification light) but will not wake the screen. have you tried a factory reset? checking for any rogue apps? downloading a new image from Google and flashing it may do the trick as well.
Hello dear XDA guys ,
Sometimes the touch sensor doesn't work, but when pressing the power button the screen lights up and turns off normally, but the touch ID sensor doesn't respond, also can't lift up the screen to pattern unlock.
After maybe 30 seconds or 1 minute the phone wakes and repeats all the taps I made until this moment.
Also, sometimes when in call I take the phone away from my ear but the screen won't light up until 10 seconds or so..
I'll mention that after restarting the phone, the issue disappears for 1 or 2 days until it's suddenly returns.
Worth mentioning that after this incident happens, the battery drain is much higher than normal!
bump
anyone seem to find this issue familiar?
Sounds like a malicious app, try checking your battery stats and apps for anything unusual.

Hi! already did, "Android System" Takes the most (40%) - and of course after a restart it gets back to normal (about 18%)
nothing suspicious besides that..
Perform a factory reset.
The issue should be gone, install apps that are out of the ordinary later and test to see if that's when the issue comes back.
Alternatively try something like Gsam
