I've been having random freeze glitches on my phone lately. It started when I switched from vu 1.29 (1. 31 gave me bad battery life )) to the beta. I am currently on the newest release and i thought my freezing problems were done but so just today I've had to pull my battery twice. I completely wiped before I reflashed anything so I'm thinking that's not the problem

I'm sorry to inform you of bad news, but the same thing happened to mine on Wednesday. On the third time it froze, it never started up again, and I presume that it was hard bricked. I then went ahead and called T-Mobile to get a new one.
Sorry to hear that happened to your phone well only time will tell what happens now. So far its been working fine

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.

Mine has the new rom the leaked one and does this so often like after every 2-3 songs. Did it with the stock rom too.

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).
I'm on cm7 nightly 3/2 along with a friend at work and our service keeps randomly going away completely. Tried reboots and battery pulls. Is there a new radio that fixes that or is it a known issue? I haven't had rom problems yet but not sure if that has something to do with it.

have you troubleshooted the problem?
read the cm7 thread to see if others are having an issue?
called Tmobile and checked to see if there is an issue with the service in your area?
i know when i had a blackberry and was having service issues...it was always been an issue with the local tower...so tmobile would send a signal to the phone to get it right...not sure if it works the same for our phones
also you could back up your rom by doing a nandroid and a titanium backup and reflash cm7 or another rom and run it for a day and see if you are still having issues
Alright I'll try to keep this brief:
I rooted both mine and my wifes phone. Her phone began shutting off and not powering up until battery pull. She was convinced I caused this. I returned her phone to stock and got a replacement from t mobile.
Upon receiving the replacement (unrooted) the problem began again.
At this point I replaced the sim. Problem persisted.
I formatted the sd. Problem persisted.
She removed sd altogether and still the problem persisted.
I'm all out of variables to trouble shoot here. Am I just the victim of bizarre coincidence to have two 4gs with the same issue?
I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance.

I've heard of this happening before. Did you try to see if there was an app that caused it to freeze while on standby? And did you root it again?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure how I would figure out if there were an app that caused that and since sure never uses custom roms I didn't see a need to root her phone. Still confused.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Perhaps try rooting, and flashing a completely new ROM on and see if that works, or try flashing the stock recovery image from hboot, and see if that fixes it?
Otherwise I think you may just have gotten some bugged phones Been known to happen
Hello atrix users, I installed alien rom and the random reboots are now gone!
So if any of you is having random reboots, you should start with alien rom

Is it still not rebooting? What kind of atrix are you on (ATT or international)? What firmware where you on (2.2, 2.3)?
Been on Alien rom for a while now. Great rom. but just recently started getting random reboots. Strange because it has been perfect for about six weeks. Must be something else causing it , because if i load my older backup all is good again.
I was even getting the random reboots on Alien, just as frequently as the stock rom. I've been on Cherry for the last week or so, and not a one reboot. And all the little bluetooth issues I was having are also gone.
Sometimes I wonder if random rebooted are only because of faulty hardware. I used to run a Nokia e71 that never rebooted, and then there was this bar by my friends house that was in a rural area that kept switching from Edge to 3G and back and my phone must have rebooted like 10 times in that night.
Never rebooted otherwise... *shrugs*

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.

Funny thing is she's on the gb ota...she's outta town for the weekend I think on Monday we are gonna try a new sim that doesn't work.....another replacement....ill keep you all updated incase there's another case of this!

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.
