[SOLVED] Nexus One freezes and reboots.

Hey all.
I've got a Nexus one last week. I seem to have a problem with the phone. My phone freezes and crashes a few times a day. Most of the times it happens when i run a game. One time it happened when browsing with the default browser. Another time it happened when someone was calling me. It just freezes and reboots by itself. I uninstalled all my apps and made a factory reset. The first time it happened i was browsing the internet on the first day i got it. No extra apps installed. I did 2 factory resets after that and no change. I'm in Europe...i hope i don't have to send it back for repairs all the way to the US. Oh, yeah, it was bought from the US.
What do you think its the problem?
Thanks.

Is it rooted?

No, just stock!

the problem with these smart phones is that they try to juggle knives while running from flaming ninjas before mastering the basics of coordination. But that's open source nature, we get the goodies first and fix the bugs later

This is not an ordinary bug. This makes the phone quite unusable.

My phone used to randomly reboot (about once a week). Rarely since rooting though.
I suggest running "adb logcat" in a command shell while its connected via usb. (make sure the drivers are installed and usb-debug is enabled)
This way you will see exactly what caused the reboot if it happens when youre logging.

My used to do the same when running stock ROM (freezing/rebooting). Haven't had any problem ever since rooting it (I am on BakedGoods 1.1).
That's another, not oft mentioned, benefit of rooting - with some ROMs you _are_ getting a _more stable system.

Never experienced instability/reboots/freezes even when mine was stock. Huh.

It happened to me once, but that about 2 weeks ago. Haven't experienced any freezing since then.

I know this is an old thread but just to update you guys, its been 2 months since i have the device and the random reboots have stopped after making like 10 factory resets. It still crashes like once a week or so when its in the browser. I suspect there's some nasty java script code that's braking the browser and it reboots. But its so rare now that its not annoying me anymore. The average up time now its about 200 hours.
So i'm a happy men now

Thank god! I've been worrying about this non stop since I first read it.

Not sure but is this sarcasm?

market is slow

is it just me or is the market running very slow in froyo?

This message was deleted by its author

any ideas why?

Check your logs, it's the usual socket timeout issues, like when you switch for a new Android phone... it should disappear very soon (I had it for an hour earlier)

it was working for me, but now things are downloading and not installing... they just sit there at 100%...

I can't say I notice Market being slow but this is really pissing me off... I bought bTunes and a couple other apps and Market has them marked as Buy as if I don't own them.
WTF.

I'm getting that too, bTunes says Buy, but a lot of other protected apps just don't show up! Is this happening for everyone?

Good call... MLB At Bat is MIA. Hopefully this is a quick fix for the Market crew. I think I should shoot them an email to make them aware.

Protected apps like m bank´s are disent from this version of the Marquet...
That´s my only problem with this awesome 2.2 update.

At a guess most of them are probably to do with the new apps2SD, no doubt when devs start updating them with the new move to SD tags we still start seeing them again
Going to give it a few days before I complain about not having some paid apps (bTunes) though, hopefully thats an easy fix!

really slow
I also see the market is really really slow, I wonder if 2.2 is going somewhere else for data and that source was not ready for everyone to jump on the unconventional means of getting 2.2 up; also, some apps I had are not available and do not come up in searching the market.
Edit: Almost uncanny, but after pressing submit post, both problems disappeared and the market is now the fastest I have ever experienced. Installing and browsing at super speed. No reboot, or anything and my market is normal. Hope it works itself for others so fast

same here some apps arnt there anymore. it happened when the desire came out, protected apps wouldnt show. am sure they had to do an update on the phone to get it working.

i had same problem when start it for the 1st time after flashing yesterday, problem went away after a couple of reboot, now everything is incredibly fast.

Slow!? Lol you must be kidding me.... i have been using Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 for quite awhile and i had to wait, hang on... 5 minutes everytime downloading 1 app.
Here on Froyo, its just instant!
Froyo FTW.

I'ts a common issue it will fix himself (don't ask me how). I had this problem to and one day it fixed itself. This was also with 2.1.
This problems starts when you make a fresh start. There was a silent update for the market and if you have this update market is working fast enough else you have to be patient and wait till you get the update (again).
If you didn't make a fresh start and updated you won't be seeing this slowness of the market.

games going to the pause screen for unknown reason

first off, I'm running stock EC05, rooted
Problem:
yesterday my Epic started jumping to the pause screen while I was playing Collapse! which I had gotten off of the Amazon App market, at first I thought it might be the hardware fault when the back button presses automatically, but it wasn't as it continued to do it without the haptic feedback or blinking, so I ruled that out and tried reinstalling
unfortunately it continued, so I though it might be a bad download that needs an update on the market, so I uninstalled and decided to play Robot Unicorn Attack which I got off the Android Marketplace, however it does the same thing, right in the middle of gameplay, it will jump to the pause screen
so now I thought it might be some other app that I updated that is causing some kind of interference with the system, so I uninstalled all apps that had been updated or installed over the past 2 or 3 days, the problems remains
I tried Fruit Ninja from that Amazon App Store as well, same problem, I'm really not sure what is wrong as there had been no problems with any of the games before yesterday, I also did a scan for malware just for kicks but nothing showed up
when I tired searching for people with similar problems, the closest I found was someone who was having what seemed like an identical problem on a Galaxy S Tab, any help that doesn't require a complete rom flash would be awesome
thanks!

The only thing I can suggest is going into Clockwork and clearing data and Dalvik cache. Sounds like some data corruption somewhere if you are running stock with no overclocking or undervolting which usually causes this kind of behavior.

Are you running an overclocked kernel? I have a similar problem with Words With Friends whenever I'm running an overclocked kernel. If I disable overclocking and reboot, the problem goes away.

His OP said he was running stock. Switch to Word feud, you can overclock all you want and still run Adfree.

I will give it a shot and let you know how it goes
question though, can I restore anything from my Titanium Backup? or would that just bring the problem back once it was restored?

Was it OK when you did the backup? If so you can certainly try. Just to clarify you are on full stock, just rooted?
Do you BONSAI?

I'm at sprint right now returning a completely stock refurb they gave me. Apps are randomly opening and backing out of themselves

[Q] Apps corrupted, force closing?

My duaghter has an A500 I bought her for xmas, but I was "testing" it for about a month prior to that. Up until now it hasn't had any issues.
The tab is stock GEN2 pre-rooted with latest Thor kernal.
I picked her up this weekend and she told me she couldn't open a bunch of apps. After playing around with it, I found that around half or more of the apps installed would force close when trying to open. I tried formatting cache and rebooting and it didn't make a difference. The only fix I found was to uninstall the apps one by one and reinstall them. A lot of work, but the tab seems to be working fine now.
Has anyone else experienced this, or can at least give a hint as to why this might have happened?

there are alot of things that can go wrong..
i would UNROOT IT Before giving it back to her..Android is not immune from Rogue software.
all it takes is one app to change a ui setting Overclocking.. Can cause Currupt data. same as on a pc.. ITS A VERY Loaded question as to what causes it . Maybe unroot the tablet before you give it back to her..
who knows for sure..

Yeah, I figured it could be about a thousand different things that caused it; was just curious if anyone else had this problem before on their A500.
There are a few apps I have on the tab that need root, so I don't really want to unroot it. She doesn't put any apps on it without asking "dada's" permission first (no net at her house anyway).
We'll see if it happens again. I really don't feel like messing with it too much right now with ICS around the corner.

Strange "black" Reboots

Hi!
I'm suffering from reboots on my Note (also on my S2...). I call them "black" reboots because the screen becomes black, there's no start-up animation , I only hear the sound, and the home screen don't comes up, or it do it after a long delay. So, the screen is mostly black. Until 2-3 minutes pass, and reboot again.
-Sometimes occurs simply starting up the phone in the morning. I'm advised of a slow launcher load (Go Launcher, but it can occurs on TW).
If I go to System Monitor (System Panel app), I see the 2 cores working hard, toghether or alternating. The "System" app goes mad. The battery drain becomes quick, and the phone back around the camera begins to warming...
After 2-3 minutes with this behaviour, the "black" reboot comes up. Often, after rebooting, the message "Unable to run System process"- Force Close-Wait (or so) appears in the black...etc
If I force shut-off, then I wait and then shut-on again, all things seem normal, until...reboot
-Factory reset (through Recovery, of course) seems arrange all things, until I load again the apps. I've unistalled all "tweaking" apps for overclocking, Ram managing, etc. I only have Root explorer and Speed Boost as Root operating things...
- My Rom is an odex Pre-rooted XXLC1, Modem XXLB2, but the multiCSC is not from it.
How the phone can become so unstable with only the half memory app capacity occuped? (800 Mb or so of 2GB)?
And how can it often occurs on updating apps from damned Google Play Store?
Is worth to flash another Rom (not ICS...), or re-flash same with its CSC included?
Sorry if I've been too long. In my searchs I only see things about bricks or another type of reboots.
Thanks for read me!

i get these once every two weeks or so.

I also get these type of reboots, I get them on RocketROM and on previous roms I've had installed the only way I've found to get out of them is to boot into recovery and wipe the caches. Before I was rooted I removed some of the apps I'd moved to the SD Card and that sometimes stopped the boot loop. I now only update apps one by one someone suggested it was to do with the amount of apps moved to the sd card and the multiple updating of them. I'm still not sure of the cause I know its the only flaw on my Note that I'm fed up with.

Im running stock ics rom straight from samsung only with root and getting the same behaviour as yourself. About 2 to 3 times a week...

Ive posted a poll as i also experience this issue. Can you vote on the poll here please with how many reboots you are getting etc - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706343

Guys, i don't know if I'm going to cry of pain or to laugh of huge joy, after seeing this is almost ..."normal"
We have a beautiful 500€ plastic and metal block which is unable to perform the half of things it's supposed to do! And we don't know exactly why...
Sure I do wipes, but most of times this fixes nothing, and the reboot returns.
If I re-install with Titanium, I am very careful unsellecting into the batch which things can cause problems, installing only a few apps.
After some days, I go on installing manually some others.
The Play updates are critical, as I see... Why? How it's possible that this "beasts" with so much RAM and so much App Memory (2 GB on S2 and Note!) fail down handling its management, with their super 2 core CPU's?
It's too serious. How we can live with a 500€ phone rebooting bad 2 times a week?
Can you imagine that on your computer, forcing you to re-install OS and apps once or twice a week? It's crazy. Is Android going crazy?
Maybe Samsung don't like Root users? Have HTC same problem?
There's someone with a non rooted phone with same problem?

Are you guys running stock? Had custom rom installed or still have?

I have this Rom, based on strict stock, but rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24690725&postcount=154
Mine is the XXLC1
No tweaks, no overclocking, no CWM...

I had the same problem when my GN was on rooted LC1. I disappeared after I made a factory reset and let my apps reinstall by Play Store.

Yes me too got out of this strange reboot by a factory reset today morning.
Something is messed up .....
Very difficult to find that something ...
better idea would be a factory reset .....

I think the problem is with the Stock Samsung Rom, it doesnt happen in CM9 Roms. I had this problems wen on ROcket rom, but vanished when on Asylum Rom.

go wild...

Yesss, very difficult. I'm not on advanced technical stuff, but my intuition says that is something deep inside the Rom, something that is related to CPU-Memory management.
By the way, do you have/had many apps (250+)? Have you made recently massive update and/or installing apps, or massive "App to SD" moves?

You are pushing me a little step more to the wild side of Android.... Here I'll go!
It seems to me that the Note is a strangely different phone of, say, S2. Some apparently "simple" apps that I carry on from 2 years ago don't run right.
And the little lags that sometimes appear on touching icons, never, never appear on the fast S2.

Lol be carefully factory on ICS resetting...
Try and official rom, haven't seen it myself
