My HD2 has been randomly shutting off with no apparent cause.
About 3 weeks before I used the new HD2 Tool Kit to partition the magldr to 445 and installed the same rom I was previously using which was HD2Nexus Gingerbread nand 2.8.
Since this started I have updated to version 2.9 and tried repartitioning magldr with no avail.
It has only done it once while I was while I was using it once. It normally happens while sitting in standby.
Any ideas guys? Thanks.

Why such a huge partition on a Nexus ROM?
I would repartition to 150mb, then flash that ROM and see how you do (wipe everything then restore your apps)
I will try that when I get home. My thinking was the bigger the better. Wasn't thinking I maybe using up important space.

The less the partition, the more space you have for installing apps and stuff. The thing is that Sense ROMs (especially DHD and Sense3) require more for the system partition so you have to flash a 300 or 450 MB partition respectively. Any AOSP ROM, including straight nexus port or CM7, doesn't need more than 150 for the system.
So I repartitioned to 150 and it, or so I think, seemed to help but it did it about an hour after and it seems to be happening more often now.
Any other things to try?

So I have found the fix for the random rebooting on my HD2.
Apparently, my sim card was causing the issue, which T-mobile will replace for free. I got the new one 12 hours ago and the phone rebooted as I walked in the door, but hasn't since I put in the new sim card. I'm just happy it's finally over and the fix was FREE! Hope this helps others in the future.

Do you have setcpu or a OC kernal by any chance?
I am having this happen also... I have had to remove my battery three times today to reboot the phone.
I have set CPU installed, is that a bad idea?
I'm rooted with just the stock OS, no mods at all and my phone will randomly reboot every two or three days.

No, I'm rooted with straight stock. No set CPU or anything of that nature. But like I said even then ill get complete freezes and then a reboot. Or occasionally ill attempt to open an app and the phone will reboot!!

did you wipe your SD cards when you flashed the new rom? I don't have this behavior but I did have FC's and such because of some files on the SD. I have NONE of this behavior. Something is wrong for you, nothing is wrong with JI2 and freezing/rebooting.

I used to have this problem all the time too whenever I tried to use the gps, but since I've applied the leaked update that problem has gone away. But it seems like you're experiencing the issue at more random times. Have you noticed any particular pattern? For example, whenever you try to play music in the background and read a website at the same time.

Yup mine is bone stock not Rooted and it will lock up just siting there GPS, wireless and Bluetooth off in a very good signal area.
Same here on both roms. I thought the lag fix was causing the freeze. But now im stock jit2 and root.
Had the same with gps and maps with old firmware.

I haven't had this issue happen since I applied the flashable gps fix. Maybe it was an issue with an app that wanted to use GPS running in the background?
This has happened to me several times while booting gps and only recently started happening while playing pandora, but not as frequent as while using the gps...not rooted

Mine has only frozen up once and it was at the end of a call screen turned off. I hit power and went to go unlock and it turned off again.. Would not turn back on but I know the phone was still on since I had apmobile enabled and it was still transmitting wifi connection. Oh I was using eugene's FrankenTwiz (underclocked to 400mhz)when it happened but same thing happened to my girlfriend and she had hybrid r3. Other than phone runs fine.
Ive had some odd reboots where I dont get a shutdown or boot animation or sounds, just freezes, goes black, keys light up, searching for signal boot process. Yesterday in maps trying to troubleshoot my gps. Stock rom,rooted, Ryan's lagfix.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Have the phone replaced. I had a phone that would randomly freeze and/or reboot. Nothing I did would fix it.
I talked to a T-mobile worker who had the same issue with one of the early demo-phones Samsung loaned to him. They just replaced his without every saying what the problem was.
I've been having this happen a lot lately myself, it happened to me before on stock ROM due to SetCPU, but now on the leaked ROM. I did not clean the SD card (internal or external), so will give that a shot when I have some time to copy files on/off the SD cards (one reason to dislike the internal SD is that I have to mount it to copy the files, ergh).
Hi guys this is the first time I have encountered this. My phone had rebooted 4 times already and I don't know what's causing this any help?

I had that problem with my first Vibrant. The problem will get worse. Take the phone back and get a new one.
It might even start freezing
Did you restore any old "system data" after switching ROMS or restoring a nandroid? Have you tried to run the "fix permissions" script in ROM manager?
I've had the phone since day one. I can't return it now can i?
My phone randomly reset on me one day sitting on the table and went into a loop like this. Battery pull fixed it.

Try flashing your original ROM. If it does the same thing, then it will be ready for warranty
I hoped I won't have to do it but thanks

same problem here, I just discover I can make them if I turn data off.
I guess I went too far installing paid apps from applanet, I'm sure one of them realized that and is messing with the phone as a payback

I had the same problem you need to install a SD card that will make it work.
thank you, i thought i had my 16gb sd installed, but when I checked it, it was not recognized by system...so i took it out, put in and it always mentioned sd card for just a second, then dissapeared again...seems to be a bug...now it seems to be seen, i started gingerbreak...but takes way longer then the first time...i let you know if it worx now
I stopped and reinstalled Gingerbreak after updating my device. I had same problem as you describe. After reinstalling Gingerbreak my problem was solved.
Now it worked...the issue was that my acer got some troubles with my sd card....it rarely accepts it....

Okay my girlfriend's atrix reboots almost ten times an hour.....during a phone call it reboots sending/receiving texts or just sitting there probably getting background data. I had her get a new battery cause she had some **** off brand in it....didn't work...now she told me she washed her last atrix and got it replaced so im thinking she got her sim wet and that's why its rebooting or its hardware end....phone is completely stock not rooted...any ideas? Thanks in advance

Unlock it root it and a custom rom fixed mine it did the same thing not as much as hers but still had a lot of random reboots on stock gb .now maybe one random reboot a month
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I wouldn't be so fast to unlock the bootloader. A phone that reboots that often most likely has hardware issues. Stock ROMs have issues, but not that radical.
Feed her a nice dinner and get her to come clean as to the evil thing she did to her phone. If there really have been no mishaps, get a warranty replacement. My advice is to not do anything to the phone that would make getting a replacement difficult.
Good Luck
Lol she told me what happened with her first one she gott replaced she washed it....so she got a new one that one rebooted...then she got another and its also rebooting

I would tell u to download a gingerbread fruit cake, moto-fastboot, and do a complete wipe including system, data, webtop, preinstall, cache and boot. (Boot=kernel) then do a fastboot reboot into recovery and flash the 2.3.4 fruit cake. If u need detailed instructions on how to do this and where to get files pm me.

Ten times a day is a frigging lot. I used to have random reboots with group but it was more like twice a day. Sometimes it would not boot up again until I did a battery pull......but flagging to Gingerbread solved all these errors. No random reboots or any problem at all since.

I thought "flagging" to be British slang.
The conclusion I would make from reading this thread is that while many if not the majority of frequent and seemingly random reboots are failed h/w, another failure mode is corruption of the installed kernel and/or support utilities (collectively called the OS). Re-flashing any of the various ROMs will clear the problem.
If f/w corruption is the actual problem,flashing anything requires unlocking the bootloader. If a replacement phone is an option, I would do that rather than risk unlocking the boot loader and then not being able to return it.
