Does anyone have any solutions?

Ive had maybe one or two random soft reboots happen since getting my phone.
I haven't had one in quite a bit now though.
Really mine shuts off atleast twice a day

You using a task killing app? If so how aggressive are you with it? Seems like task killers affect this phone WAAAAY more than on my Nexus One.
Random shut off for me = once a week
Yes I have it but ive never played with the settings just downloaded the app and went on from there.

I have had this happen to me twice. I was more on the line of thinking that it is an app that I installed. I hadnt thought it was the task killer set to killing an app that would do this. I will turn off Auto Kill and also do an inventory of apps that I installed since I noticed the shutdowns.

If I bring my phone to verizon what would they say?

I used a task killer on my Nexus One because old habits die hard. So when I moved to the Droid X I still had this habit. I quit using ATK this last Friday and havent had a single glitch or reboot since.
Could this be the case for others with reboot issues? Maybe, Maybe not.
If you have a task killer installed try uninstalling it for 2-3 days and see what happens.
I have never used a task killer but I had the same issue. A factory reset nor an .sbf restore from a brick changed it. My new phone just shipped yesterday as a replacement.

I was having atleast 2 reboots a day and when I deleted my task killer last week I haven't had any problems my phone is actually faster with out it. I think the task killer stops programs to make your phone run effectively.

Im bringing my phone to verizon today and see what they tell me thanks alot guys

I have been having the same issue. My phone will just rest to the animation screen not the motorola M. At first I thought it was chomp sms causing it cause a few times as sms texts would come in it reset. So I removed chomp but issue was still there so I wondered if set cpu was the issue cause I am ROOTED. So I remove that. Issue is still there. I done two factory resets and no help.
I do not see this being a hardware issue...... Tho if it is please someone enlighten me....
Reason is if it is software then I can wait til 2.2 or custom rom...
Please any help or insight would be great. My exchange period with verizon is ruining out. Don't want to return a item with proper hardware.
Please assist thank you.

I haven't ever used a task killer on the x, and still had the same issue. It got slowly worse, up to 2 or 3 reboots and 2 or 3 freezes (battery pull required) per day. Verizon shipped me out a new phone, and I just got it yesterday.
edit: the speaker's a good bit better, too. Not great, but definitely distinctly louder than my original one.
Any idea if I was to un root it if it would matter? Or if rooting did cause this... Is the damage done then?

Maybe this might be the issue

Hi guys. I was on the Motorola Droid X page, under owner support, and came across this:
"The battery charger shipped with this device is a high rate charger specifically designed for your DROID X.
Other chargers might take longer to charge your battery, cause your calls to fail during charging, or cause your phone to continuously power cycle."
I know that I had been using my BB Storm 2's charger with my DX since they both use the same connectors, unaware that the charger actually made a difference. I also noticed the shut-down/restart issue, and had called VZW about it twice, prompting the tech to send me out a new one. I only found this tidbit by chance afterwards. Maybe myself and others might be doing the same, and unknowingly creating a power issue...just my $0.02

I believe the site is: motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/48599/p_country_code/US
So 4 times now i've let the battery fully discharge and charged the phone overnight, turned it on the next morning and its in recovery? First thought was it was because when I was having issues with the market but my market app has been working without any problems since removing updates.
Is there a setting I need to change or is there an underlying problem that is rearing its head.
Running GB rooted, never had any ROMS pretty much just rooted thats it.

I believe it's supposed to do that. I think it's a sort of fail safe system that comes from the hijack process used in the Droid 2/X Bootstrapper.

Interesting because it never did that before for the whole time i've been on GB.

I bought my A500 earlier this year used. It came stock HC 3.0.? and I've since updated THE OTA ICS, and just rooted/unlocked bootloader today. Since I've had it, I haven't been able to change the brightness from full. I've been getting by with screen filter, but my battery life is crap. Is there anyone out there who has the ability to do anything about this? I'm sure sending it to Acer would cost about the same as replacing it because I wasn't the original owner.

I assume you've already tried doing a full wipe of the data and cache...?
Yeah. I did a full wipe when I first realized the problem and right after installing ICS.

Have you tried an app from the play store? I really like the widget for Brightness LevelDisc. I know this would be a work around but it also might jar something into place.
I tried it with the stock HC when I got it, but it didn't do anything. Now that I'm ICS rooted, I'll try it when I get home from work.

I just received an email invitation from Motorola. I'm not sure if it's for 4.2 or not. I am hesitant as I do not want to relock the bootloader.
Edit... Sounds like it's impossible to relock the bootloader.
They can't re lock it.

So that means that I couldn't participate even if I wanted to? I know I could restore the phone to stock thus restoring the recovery to stock.
I just got the same invite for the soak... I joined it to see what's up.. Told them it was rooted and I will restore to stock .. No clue what the update is .. Sort of came out of the blue no?

I have heard that it is possible to relock it, but it would also lock the developer edition devices so it "shouldn't" be an issue.
It's just a maintenance release no software update. The boot loader can't be relocked because once u unlock it it blows the bootloader QFuse. Once that is blown it can't be reset by software.

You won't find anything on Google except droidlife posting about moto sending out invites. It's a private network of people that sign up for soak test for motorola software before it is sent ota to devices

Where and why you received this email? I'm from Brazil, would be here too? Just a question ...

I was answering questions on the survey to participate and they said it was such a minimal update and to just avoid the hassle of un rooting.

I registered my phone on the moto site and indicated I would like to beta test new software.
Very interested to see what this update is going to bring, would like to see them fix the stability and performance issues in the stock rom.
What stability and performance issues of the stock rom?

You don't have to relock the bootloader, just reverting to stock is fine. Also, on consumer devices unlocked via hack, the exploit might get fixed in the update AND you don't know the unlock code and will have to be rooted to wipe the relock token. So don't relock there (besides it's not as simple to do so anyway, FXZ must be flashed in between )

Wouldn't it be amazing if it was 4.3 like what was just leaked for the s4? A man can dream. I got the invite, but I'm sad to say I don't feel it's with the effort coming from where I am now. Stable carbon, tweaked just how I like it, or work to revert to an older android version with all the associated limits. If it was 4.3 I'd be doing it, but 4.2? I'm really sorry moto, but I've been there for a while now
Performance and stability issues on the stock ROM? Several Google Apps (magazines and books) even if never used cause the phone to become near unresponsive. I disabled those two and have had no issues since. Every few days my phone no longer can send or receive text messages and when I reboot suddenly all of them go through. It has gotten to the point that I have a cron on a server to send me text messages so that I at least know every morning if I have the issue again.
Also, Smart Actions gets into a loop where I keep seeing it claim that my WiFi based action is being triggered every few minutes even when I am sitting still. This seems to drain the hell out of my battery.

Damn.. Forgot to update my moto profile after getting my HD. Missed out in the soak.
-- Android: It's a UNIX thing. You wouldn't understand.
Well, it just happened!
The 5.1.1 update is live, for real. The software version is 222.21.39
Also packs in Stagefright fix and some other improvements. What matters is ANDROID 5.1.1 LOLLIPOP !!

Still waiting
Great now I will be hitting the update button all day long lol
Really! 5.1.1. ??

Got the update
First patch worked fine. Second failed. Stock recovery, removed root.
Would disabled apps cause the upgrade to fail?
ok wait a minute....what was the point of the waiting room thread?

Got the Stagefright patch, and it feels so good.
Android 5.1 not 5.1.1
oh I see thanks

Yes, disabled system apps will cause it to fail. Only apps that came with the phone will.
There's no need to open a new thread if there's a related one already.

Ah bugger. Guess I'll be rooting and installing cm12.1 instead then.

Downloading the first of the two updates. Will update regarding if it ends up being seemless or if anything strange arises during the process. My handset is about as stock/vanilla as they come since I haven't attempted any of the ridiculous lengths it has traditionally taken to root/unlock this phone.
Update 1: Took an additional restart to get a successfully installed statement for the stagefright/LP prep update. Currently downloading the LP OTAD
Update 2: First startup was a little long but expected since it was a new rom. Everything going well so far. One odd brief issue where Google play services rolled back to a previous release and spammed warning messages but it corrected itself.

Any reason not to upgrade?
I remember people were saying with some of the early versions and non OTA software there being an issue with Wave to Wake
As well as a hit to battery life because of Lollipop not doing a great job of utilizing the X8 CPU.
Wave wake doesn't work. As far as I know, it was a big that was never supposed to work with KitKat.
Battery life seems up to par with KitKat for me.
Lol sorry moto, but its kinda late for you I just switch to Nexus 5 last week
I checked both internal system update and Moto Device Manager... nothing.
I am using DE though, not regular Verizon XT1060.
