please help why dose my phone keep restarting?

everythans up to date i just dont understand why it keeps restarting?
I think your Sdcard does not match to Wp7.
Change another sdcard and try again
I am using Sandisk 8m that for your reference.

I have 2 cards thay are both sandisc one is 16 gb the other is 4 gb i think thay are both class2 but am unsure thare is a logo that says c2 in the top right of the cards
however I dont think thats what the probulm is!
but am unsure.
I realy hope someone will help me figure this out.
Are you having this problem with BOTH SD cards, or just one?
The SD card, WP7, HD2 combination is very finicky. My Kingston 8GB c2 seemed to be functioning perfectly fine, with the exception of 6-7 hours battery life w/ little to no usage. I also noticed that it took a while for apps to install at the last step of a hard reset on 7720.
Thinking that Kingston was good, I upgraded to 16GB c4. The device wouldn't even boot past the splash screen after leaving magldr. So, I changed to a PNY 16gb c4 and got to see just how badly my 8GB had been performing. The apps that took a while to install at the last step of hard resetting Mango were installed in an instant. And my battery life tripled. I don't have to worry about my phone dying anymore.
So, it's very likely that your SD card can be causing the random reboots. Use dev_storagelock to unlock the card you currently have installed. Perform a hard reset. Stop the process when magldr starts and swap cards. Allow the new card to be integrated into WP7 and see if the reboot problem persists.

It's probably not the ROM and most likely the SD card. That's what WP7 does. It's super picky.

i did a haed reset and cleard all crc data the problum still ocurs
the only diffrence to both of the sd cards a i have is size
so unless i was to go buy a higher class im gessing buying another would be pointless
the weard thang is this didnt alwase happen
i used bttfv1 no problums
had bttfv2 then all sorts of problums started happening first time i flashed most of the updates with zune
then was forced to start from scrach agin after i messed up my registry with advanced config
second time i upgraded to bttfv2 i used the one shot method and im not exactly sure but i think thats when i started haveing the issue.
You allready know what's wrong, it's the SD cards you've been using. Keep trying with class 2\4\6 Sandisk cards.

what was that a sarcastic remark? & no i dont know whats wrong because as i stated before i didnt have this problum before my previous installation.
i am useing sandisk class2 16gb i am useing the card that came with the phone i realy dont understand why that would be the issue?
whats the best card to get then?
Your SD card would be the issue if the card or some sectors on the card lacks the required random read\access speed. This could very well create problems on one installation while working seemingly fine on another.
I've already said what cards I believe gives you the highest chance of working, you'll just have to keep trying with those. Theoretically you could also try reinstalling the whole thing and hope that no critical files ends up on the lower speed sectors of the card, but I don't know what chance that would have of working.
The only marketable difference between the cards may be size, but WP7 doesn't really care about that. When I we say that it's picky, we really mean it. You can have great success with one card, and then put another in of the same brand different class and WP7 will no longer boot. SD cards affect battery life and everything.
By an SD card from Fry's, if there's one around. They've got a 15 day return policy w/o restock fee. I only went through 2 cards finding the right one to upgrade to, but was prepared to go through their entire selection and the sales girl even told me to not feel bad about doing it.
Hi,
probably you must calibrate battery or yours SD card not works correctly...

I had the same issue bu not due to Sd card
I have a Kingston 16GB calss2 works perfect
The issue was that the original rom was American English
if i istall like it is everything works good and since i/m greek i can use also the buld in greek keypad with no problem
BUT when i change to my language the full functions of the phone , then it keeps
restarting byitself ....
For me no problem to work with the english menu at all , so i keep the device in english and works.

Well the camera is slow and acting weird, but even more weird is that it started to restart everytime after i take a picture.
I'm with 8GB microSD card from my old htc HD (which i don't know which class is and if it might be slow and that causes the problem? )
Did that happen to anyone? Or at least do you know what's the class of the factory htc hd card and if that could be possibly an issue?
p.s.
i dont have any other cards handy at the moment to test a bit
I've heard that its good to have class 6 and above. Anything less is creating stability problems for the nexus.

That's completely false. Google wouldn't be shipping the phone with a class 2 card if that were true and that's not what's causing the problem. I don't know what is but best bet is to re flash your phone.
the nexus factory card is class 2?
I guess the factory htc HD cars is also class 2? Can someone confirm that, since i can't find info online.
is there another way to format the card from the phone, other than the "Format SD card" option in settings, which considering how fast "formats" i guess it's just erasing the fat table?
And do you think that unproper formatting might be a problem for android? This is card from a windows mobile phone.
That's where i'm coming from too, so excuse me for the dumb questions
Yes, it's a class 2, 4gb SD Card. I should know since I own a Nexus One. My brother had a memory card formatted by a blackberry but used it just fine on his Moto Cliq but your card may be corrupt. You could use Windows to do a full format and then just pop it back in and it will work. Just right click and click format, I believe.
Also there is no other way to format it via your phone and you can find out your card class by looking at the card there should be a small number with or without a circle around it, that's the class.

Have you called support? They have a knowledge DB that might have something about it. If it's not rooted, you can easily request a repair/replacement, they'll send you a new one.
Now it just goes black screen and after a while says that can't connect to the camera. Seems that i have dead camera and doesnt seem like can be fixed by software....
ah and i dont even have a warranty

I come from magldr 1.12 and I installed 1.13, after that I went straight to usb flasher and flashed a new rom but it keeps bootlooping, starting over and over again. anyone had this problem too? maybe some tips?

hmm, I found the problem, I bought a new SD card today, this one is compactible, older SD cards aren't..
i would try a differnt sd card i havent had a single problem with wp7 since i flashed first time
Same here I have this problem with a Sandisk Class2 16GB restarting every 5 min or so tried everything formatted reformatted and nothing If I keep playing with the phone is no problem is look and unlock the screen normally but when is going in sleep mode by itself I can't start-it again everything is dead buttons lights don't came up, I give up and install a Sandisk class2 8GB no problems at all everything fine and no more restarting which led me to think not all the cards are good with WP7.

Your phone is the problem, It happened to mine and I went back to android, kept rebooting, then went back to 6.5 and it kept rebooting, turns out if it does that its a hardware problem and you have to RMA....

nothing todo with how old it is, its todo with random read/write speeds, for instance, most newer cards with high class values like 6 or 10 use some odd mechanics that increase sequential speeds but lower random speeds, that is the issue, if the card at any point isnt able to give the spec needed then it has issues, in some cases its only minor in others it wont even be detected.

evidently not, op stated the SD card was the issue and is now fixed when he replaced it.
interesting - I've now tried two WP7 ROMs on my UK HD2 - LEO70 and XBmod-WP7-V1.04b, with MAGLDR1.13 and 2.08.HSPL and 2.15.50.14 radio and got stuck in a boot loop with both.
The only thing that's fixed it was removing the SIM and both worked fine with any SD card I try. Doesn't make for a great phone though.....
Anyone got any thoughts?
EDIT - turns out it was my old T-Mobile SIM that was the problem. Have since tried two newer SIMs and both work fine with no bootloop!

lol whats with these bold statements?
how do you know its overheating? where did the overheating comment come from? the OP didnt say as anything to the sort
you cant assume that because you have had or have read about an issue with overheating which produces these symptoms that every time a phone does the reboot thing has the same issue
however lets take it out of context, yes if you have an overheating device for a along period of time then its not going to be good, but heavy usage of the device, heavy WIFI or HSDPA usage will all make the phone rather warm, charging the battery will make it warm, if your device gets too warm it may just crash, which happens in 6.5 as well.
Hmmmmmm ?
Can I just say that I think this forum is absolutely amazing... I managed to get my HD2 running windows phone 7 in only about an hour...
I too also have this issue, but at the moment I have taken the memory card out and just reading away here.... now am not a newbie when it comes to technology, just a newbie when it comes to this forum lol
Judging with what has been said the Memory Card used in the Windows Phone 7 needs to have fast enough random access memory in order for it to operate with the phone (As If it was Solid State Memory in the actual phone)
So... having read as well from georo - I give up and install a Sandisk class2 8GB no problems at all everything fine and no more restarting which led me to think not all the cards are good with WP7
So I am now going to take a wee journey out tonight to try and find a memory card similar to what georo has said... a Class2 8GB Sandisk...
If I too can get it working with this card then we could maybe begin a small list that works with WP7 on HD2

From my readings, it's NOT a matter of speed of the SD card. Although, a class 2 card is pretty slow...you should consider at least a class 4 or 6.
But, I digress, the issue with the rebooting has to do with the compatibility of the SD card and WP7. For some unknown reason, people have had to try a hit-or-miss approach to finding a SD card that works.
I have been fortunate that my 3C Pro 16GB Class 6 card worked right off the bat. And you might want to read up on the meanings and speeds of the various SD Class designation before spending money on a Class 2 card.

Ok thanks for the reply dude... as I have said I will need to get upto speed with this stuff... at the moment I have a standard SanDisk 2GB MicroSD... so suppose if I do go and buy a class 4-6 it will be money well spent anyway as I can always revert back to the old WM6.5 ... or just claim it didnt work and take it back...
Just on a wee note... I noticed that the HD7 which is pretty much the same phone runs on a Class 2 MicroSD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883582)
Surely this should work?
also on this note... the card that comes out of a Stock 8Gb HD7 is a 8Gb Sandisk, Class 4...
Ive tried several WP7 NAND builds in this forum but everyone seem to give the same issue far as it randomly freezing and rebooting especially when the screen is off, Is anyone else having this issue and if so is there a solution?
Phone: TmoUS Leo
Radio: 2.15.50.40
Build: Frantic HD WP7
Yes ive had this same problem...would also like to know if there are any solutions...thanks
Try another SD card. Go for a SanDisk one as they are more compatible. WP7 doesn't accept many SD cards and you both have the typical symptoms of an incompatible card

Yes, and yes.
Random reboots are most likely caused by your MicroSD-card (WP7 will not work well with some cards). The only solution: try a different card.
There's a thread where people report which cards worked for them here.
ignore that thread
There is absoluetly no way of know what card will work.
statistically you have a better chance with a sandisk class 2 or 4 BUT that is not always the case, you may have a generic home brand class 10 that works but more likely you'll have better luck with those class 2 and 4 cards
No one is really sure why WP7 is having issues, the best idea so far is that its random read/write speeds that are the key, some class 10 cards have massive sequential write speeds but slower random reads which is where WP7 comes unstuck
Also, just because some one has a sandisk 8GB class 6 that works fine doesnt mean you will have the same luck with the exact same model because different cards use different components, even within the same make and model.
For example i have two 4GB sandisk class 6 cards, purchased on the same day at the same shop, both cards are model identical, one works fine the other has issues such as restarting, wifi not working and lagging
and to throw another spanner in the works i have a card that works perfectly, up until i fill the card to a certain point, then it starts all this restart business, if i dump a few hundred MB of music on the card taking it past that point it works fine . The card was been tested on the PC and i cant see anything wrong with it.
So, that leave me to think that for some reason when WP7 was trying to access that portion of the card for SYSTEM usage it was perhaps too slow to use or had some other issue, i can play music from that area however.
I just installed WP7 on my HD2 earlier today, was running fine for about.. 3-4 hours, I guess I was on it a good bit, not really letting it go to sleep for an extended period of time, but after I stopped messing with it, I noticed it rebooted itself, then it got froze on the lock screen, until it rebooted itself randomly again,, and then it did a complete wipe of my data on another random reboot?
Is this due to the SD card?
And can I just remove the SD card to fix this until theres some guarenteed cards that work with WP7?
or will it not boot without the SD card in?
Thanks alot.
it will work without SD but laggy and you will only have about 150MB of space.
good luck waiting for a card, its supposed to be unremovable so i doubt you will see over the counter products, im afraid its take a guess or buy an HD7
oop! yeah probably your SD
It is your sd card, sorry. Try a new one.
so nothing to do with how you format the sd card?

the WP7 doesn't format the SD in options menu.
I tried this soluction and the phone appears more stable:
1- go in the
(caution----your data will be eraser)
settings -> about -> reset your phone
2- then the phone reset and after the MALGRD screeen push VOL UP and VOL DOWN
to appears the screen when you press the VOLUP to eraser all data and recovery the phone in factory status.
3- after this the phone start with the SD clear.
my phone don't freeze more after this steps.

Sounds like you're using an incompatible sd card... WP7 is very picky with what SD cards work with it. You need one with good random access speed (which has nothing to do with class... in fact higher class cards tend to have lower random access speeds).

Confirmation
I agree with you, the symptoms are exactly like what I used to have with my first attempts with WP7 using the originally supplied sdcard (T-Mobile HD2). Believe it or not, I exchanged my sdcard with my brother's (from his omnia1) which was the same make, size, and class; voila, no more problems.
Later on, I purchased an 8 GB class 4 and tried it with WP7 and the same problems returned... so, it REALLY is picky about sdcards.
I hope this helps - as a confirmation.
Good info guys,using the mobile 16gig that came with phone...also bought a 8gig class 4 sd card yesterday and still same problem ...gonna buy another 16gig class 2 when I get home later ....do I have to flash rom again when I change sd card?????
WP7 doesn't support swapping of SDcards, so its going to reset immediately anyhow! For the sake of thoroughness, turn your phone off, put in the new SD, goto magldr's USB Flasher mode, and flash the DFT WP7 ROM.
Enjoy
Note: check out the thread on compatible sdcards before buying your new one. Cheers

no you don't, follow the steps from this site
http://www.techienote.com/tag/technology
you will get your information back with the old system, but but!!! if you didn't get a stable wp7 i mean if you didn't use it for a good time more than 5 days.
it would be better to flash new wp7 on ur new SD card.
After my phone started looping, it was doing a full bootup to the homescreen then almost instantly freezing, I decided to update my WM7 to the new XBmod-Yuki updateable rom.
I did everything as it was said, install wm6.5, format card, etc. i even reinstalled everything hspl, radio, magldr 1.13 just to make sure everything was good to go.
NOW once i finally got it up, its freezing AGAIN at the home screen after it boots up......
I've been running WM7 for about a year (basically since it was available for the HD2). The whole time i've been using this same SD card, the 16gb sandisk HC card. (i'm assuming it's a class 2? (there's a 2 inside of a circle on the top right of the card, beside the word SanDisk)).
Has my SD card bit the dust? or what.... and if it has, does anyone know of a cheap card that 100% works? all i need is about 8gb.
Thanks,
Michael
ALSO i can remove the sd card and it'll run fine.. though i've got no contacts and all that stuff.

There isnt any 100% compatible cards that you can identify without trying it, although for a while i think AT&T were selling some in their stores in the states.
the problem is that an SD card may do 1 of several things, it "might" be 100% compatible, it might be mostly compatible or it might not work at all, the chances are most of us fall in to the latter two
Its only when you access portions of the card that will crash a mostly compatible card, for instance, i can copy music over portions of my card that fixes the reboots for me, but i might find that in another 3GBs time, i get more issue, so its like trial and error. Also because data isnt dumped on to the SD card sequentially problems can crop up any time so it might not be a new issue for you at all
I gave up on the Update-able ROM, I installed HD2O 1.26 LEO71_8107 ROM, and haven't had a lockup since, (it's only been about 12 hours though). I had the earlier version of HD2O's rom before i tried the update-able one from Yuki and XBmod. So IDK what's different between the update-able & the HD2O one. Possibly its the "sometimes work card" issue that you talked about.
