My ZTE Blade sold by Wind(Greek Comp) with 256mb, TPTed to GEN2, no APP2SD or anything like that..
The problem is as the title says, my phone reboots like randomly, especially when i try play SOME games.. Tried CM7, CM9, some other modded CM7, some modded stock roms etc..
I tried TPT GEN1 to GEN2 again lately, tried out some roms, the problem still exists...
Some1 told me, maybe its the kernel's fault, i tried diff roms with diff kernels, the result is the same..
I played with some overclocks(NOT DANGEROUSLY), i just noticed that overclocked it is more likely to get a reboot..
Examples of reboots: scrolling my contacts, benchmark, installing app, searching on google play/market, watching a streaming video using MX video player(using right codecs), just surfing on Dolphin Mini
any ideas?
Thank you..

is the phone getting hot?
As archer2009 said, I would also suggest overheating problems.
Get some program for monitoring/logging your phone temperature and see if you can find the problem that way.
its getting hot after a while on wifi browsing and like 15mins on gaming..
but ive seen it rebooting itself while cold.. i dont believe its the temp.. i have been watching like 5 episodes of anime streaming straight(on MXplayer, via WiFi) and getting hot like hell but not rebooting..
but its been times when i just open WiFi and then open DolphinHD Mini(internet browser), and when i click on play(for some stream), video starts playing for 3secs and then boom, Android logo onscreen...
I think your phone is rebooting randomly because of the lack of RAM. Try a monitoring app such as Norton Utilities or anything else and check for battery temperature/Less RAM issues.

its not the ram. the thing that i care most is the ram.. my ram stays low at almost all times.. Its been times that i use many apps at once that use like 90% of the ram or more and it nothing happens... the phone reboots randomly, as i said, just by opening an app or (it happend like 30mins ago while i was going to call my friend) scrolling on contacts, and the phone's uptime was like 3hours..
tbh how else the ram could be the problem, except the overloading..
not sure if its going to help,
Preperations i do before install new rom:
i dont usually backup the previous rom
booting to clockworkmod (powerkey + vol-)
wipe data/factory
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
once a while wipe battery stats

Hi,
I have been using my HD2 with android for a long time without too much trouble. Not long ago, while still using SD builds I would find that my phone would often freeze, this would happen almost always while surfing the web or playing games or while putting the phone under heavy load. Using nand builds the issue has gotten even worse. Every single build I have tried is almost certain to freeze during the initial setup, even if I leave it alone and give it a long time to setup and stabilize. I have been using a stock gingerbread NAND build for a week or so and it just won't be stable. It freezes during games or surfing the web mostly (though upon first installing the build, almost anything might trigger a freeze, including scrolling through a menu). I have tried task 29, and many builds but they are all giving me this issue. Even the last WINMO rom I tried did the same. I am completely baffled by this and have no idea what could be wrong. Does any one have any advise?
Thanks
Pray that you're still under warranty???
If it does it in winmo, try flashing your original stock (From HTC) ROM. This will remove HSPL and any & all customisations. Make sure the phone is in it's 'from factory' state. If it STILL has freezing issues, you need to get it repaired. If not. Start installing ROMs again from scratch.
Hope This Helps.
Thanks for the response. Yeah, I have done everything except resort to the stock ROM.
I have noticed some interesting things about the crashing behavior. If the phone has been left alone for a while, it will be able to browse the web/ play games or do intensive tasks without crashing for a decent amount of time, however once it crashes , it will very likely crash right away after I reboot. I only notice the phone (battery) is quite warm around the time it starts the crashing. I hope my hardware is screwed up, would hate to give up this phone . I bought my phone on ebay, so I don't think I have warranty either. ugh
wtf, there is seriously no one else who has heard of this?
Bump.
Are you Overclocking it? Try Underclocking it to see if it is more stable. Maybe your hardware is failing. User currentWidget to see your current usage.
Maybe you're using too much ram. o.o
The phone will get really laggy if you use up all the ram, so clear it up with a task killer.
No overclock, running at 998 (stock) and smartass governor. Tried interactive governor and still does it.
Its just strange that it crashes left and right from doing anything when I first install a build and after a few reboots it stabilizes enough to be rock solid for all tasks except playing something like angry birds or surfing the web. I tried running quadrant 10 times in a row to stress the phone and it did fine.
Could the phone be overheating? I notice its almost always warm or hot when it crashes.

Actually this is exactly what you should do. Flash with a Stock ROM then Take29 then start over. Remember the Stock ROM has more than just the system ROM, it overwrite your RADIO and other stuff also that are not touched by custom ROM. so if you have some corruption at radio ROM the stock ROM should fix it.
- When I mean Underclocking: set MAX Frequency to 800 Mhz and see if it is more stable. just to find the root cause by elimination

I'll try to cap it at 800 Mhz and see if I can cause a crash. Regardless Its probably best to flash to stock rom.
Here is what I think I'll do:
Flash to stock rom.
Reflash HSPL
Task 29
Flash new radio
Flash MAGLDR
Flash new android rom
So I flashed 2.10.1 stock rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653
And it did not remove HSPL...though it reset my radio to 2.08.
So far things are not looking good. On the very first boot the stock winmo rom crashed and rebooted. Should I flash another winmo rom?
EDIT:
I've reflashed HSPL and also flashed the latest winmo stock rom with Radio 2.15 now. Running Android off the SD card, 2 minutes of angry birds is all it took it to freeze it. I'm starting to believe there must be some hardware damage or something, this is making no sense.
Even surfing the web in the stock winmo rom caused a reboot, the phone is getting quite hot too.
Having exact same problem... should i warranty it and send it in?

If you are lucky enough to still have warranty, do it. I don't have that option sadly.
So I have pretty much narrowed down the cause of the problem to overheating. I let the phone cool down to about 25c and then I ran angry birds and surfed the web and it didn't crash and I played for about 15 minutes. When the temp approaches about 37-40c, the chances of a crash become pretty high, once it crashes it will keep crashing left and right until I let it cool back down.
All evidence now points to an overheating problem. Especially because it is only intensive tasks which seem to cause crashes and only the more CPU/GPU intensive tasks can cause the phone to heat up fast.
Anyone else dealt with this issue? I have no other way to prevent this than to stop heavy use of the phone when it gets warm. This is ridiculous, next thing I know, I'll be walking around with a desktop CPU heatsink mounted on my HD2...
First post WOOO
I have been having a similar issue with my HD2 (Telstra). I was running darkstone on the SD card but occasionally my phone would freeze then I would have to restart a few times to get it working (or leave it for a while). I decided to install the android desire stock ROM using NAND. I changed the radio according to the recommended 2.15.50.14.. after I did this I had a lot of problems with frequent freezing even before installing the new ROM (so during the process). I did successfully install the stock ROM but I now have the issue where if I enable internet usage within about 5 minutes my phone will freeze (but only if I am using the phone). However if I use wi-fi or usb tethering I can use the net for anywhere between 5 minutes and 8-9 hours.
I also have the problem of freezing just after boot, but apart from that my phone has never frozen unless I enable internet usage. Furthermore, this issue only became frequent after changing radios. (for the life of me I can't remember what the previous radio was). When I have more stable internet access I'll try flashing a few different radio's...
But right now funnily enough.. I'm jumping between my phone internet and someones open network in my apartment block... both of which are very sporadic...
Hope this helps somewhat (or will at least..)
There are many threads regarding this issue. If you still have the problem after trying different radios and roms, then it is probably the mainboard.
Mine was also overheating and after I tried all possible fixes, I sent it for repair. They changed the mainboard and everything is OK now. No overheating at all.
I just bought the Samsung Galaxy 3 several days ago. The first thing what I did was unpack the package and boot up Odin. I haven't ever seen/used the stock rom.
The first ROM I tried was InDroid 4.1. Looked nice, but sometimes I had a lot of 'lag' and for instance, when I tried to open Talk (I was already online) it took about 20-25 seconds to view the contactlist. Sometimes everything was working smooth en sometimes all apps were lagging like hell. I tried to reset the factory settings in the recovery mode, but it didn't help.
After that I thought maybe the rom wasn't so good so I tried to flash the stock rom back. I used the newest stock rom from this topic. But I couldn't get it working, it hanged always on the boot screen ("Samsung i5800") and the recovery mode didn't work. After that I tried to flash the newest Kyrillos' rom but I couldn't get that working either.
After that I tried the Dharam's Stock Performance Rom. This rom was working a lot better and it didn't "freeze" so much, but sometimes it does freeze. I tried my phone also without my SD card (Kingston 4GB Class 4 SDHC) and now it does freeze a lot less. (but it does sometimes and some apps are useless now (like Spotify)). Don't know if it is accidentally that it does not freeze so much without the SD card.
Well, I don't know if these freezes are normal, I can't check the stock rom (because I couldn't manage to flash it) but it is very annoying when you are texting somebody, emailing somebody or talking to anybody that you can't type normal (like 1 char/3sec) or that you have to wait very long until something shows up.
Btw, some more information: it doesn't matter how many apps I have open, sometimes it does freeze with only two apps open in the task manager and for instance, now it is working fine with 11 apps open in the task manager. Pretty weird. There is about 200 MB free from the 245MB.
Maybe that somebody can help me out or can confirm that this is normal.
Edit (21:37): Ok, well I tried tonight to run several apps together, like Spotify, Twitter, Facebook, Runkeeper, Maps, Navigation, and some more. It wasn't as fast as my previous phone (HTC Desire) but it didn't lag like I described above. But when I run just 2 apps (like 'Messages' and 'Whatsapp' or just some other random combination (or sometimes nothing)) it can lag like hell. Don't think that it is lagging because of the amount of programs that I am running, but because of something else. But I can't find out what.
I just accomplished to flash back the stock XXJPM from samfirmware. I tried already the CPU frequency scaling but that didn't help either.
No problems for now..
I use bojpc from samfirmware and my phone lags alot too. Sometimes it gets stuck and reboots on his own!
Hmm, now I don't have any problems at all.. Only Spotify lags a bit when I use a lot of apps together, but I guess because that's spotify and this isn't a really fast phone.
I only miss a few things like the advanced battery icon and some other handy things. But that isn't a big deal.
Don't know if I'm gonna try another custom rom, maybe when 2.4 Fugumod is out of beta.
I noticed that sometimes service "media " start saturating CPU and everything gets a lag again, until I kill it.
Is there a work around for this? What is this service?
This behavior is consistent between both Overcome and Tasks ROMs, which makes me think it is a honeycomb's thing. It is possible that it is also something that pershoot's kernel entails, as I mostly tested with it.
But I did setups to wipe all, data, cache, dalvik, and yet the issue persists.
Thanks in advance.

it is an android issue. been around for a while, altho seems to be quite bad in TW. rarely ever happened in 3.1 vanilla.
you can flash 'watch media', which will kill android.process.media automatically, if it gets out of hand.
you can find this on droidbasement or the dev section.
Thank you very much, sir.

I had this problem with stock KG9 firmware. After i updated to latest firmware the problem is gone.
I have the same issue. From what I can tell:
1. try just killing the process. It'll probably come back though soon.
2. go to "Manage applications" and "Clear data" on Media Storage. This will help but sooner or later, it seems to come back again.
3. there is a problem with one of your media files. Not sure if it is pics, vids, mp3s, ringtones... but some file is causing this problem. The hard part is finding which one is the culprit.
I too have this problem
battery drain seems to be higher with screen off but still OK but with screen on it drains alot... lost 9% in the past hour before I decided to kill it
sometimes I see "DRM protected" something, and then "Downloads" something and "Media" in OS Monitor
I did a factory wipe thinking there was something wrong... it was fine at first but got worst gradually
Okay, this is getting ridiculous and im getting pissed. My N10 has been working without a hitch (and without a camera flash too) for the past 6 or 7 months since i got it but one thing that is happening now is getting very annoying is it just exits out of apps when the app is trying to load something...not exiting when the app itself is loading, but when the app is busy loading another task. Man im getting mad...so for example im on facebook the interface loads fine but when i start browsing pictures and an image is taking a few seconds to load and BAM, the program closes, another example i have the AOSP browser opened and im browsing the web, I type in a web address it starts to load, and BAM, closes, playing candy crush, it plays fine and then i try to ask for help from facebook and once it starts loading my friends and it does it again.i could go on and on. its happening on game apps, google apps its pissing me the heck off and it just started about a month ago. I have tried several roms thinking it was a memory leak somewhere or something for that matter and no luck. Ive tried trinity and KT kernels thinking the stock kernel was the culprit and still no dice. Ive even gone as far as to wipe out the whole device, everything to the fullest system format and reinstall a new stock image via wugs toolkit...still happening. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and is there a fix for this? Is anyone going through this crap too? The Dev forums have been quite lately but im sure this tablet still has very active users who can help because this is getting old. BTW I am running Purity latest rom with Franco kernel r12 just in case you need to know
Does this happen after you watch videos? For me, that's the only time..apparently the surface flinger eats up the RAM and hardly 20-30MB is left for other apps. So I guess the system starts force closing the apps. I don't think we have a permanent fix for this yet. However, the workaround I have applied is I disabled Chrome which is another RAM eater and since then this random force closing and even the random restarts problem seems to have been alleviated!
Another simpler option is to restart the tab whenever you feel it is starting to operate with a lag. Takes hardly 30 seconds And hope for Google to release the fix to the surface flinger issue with 4.3!

I got 2 Zenfone 5's. One is for general serious stuff, like whatsapp, work, etc and the other for gaming and experiments
Since I heavily modded my second phone, SOME apps started to not work on it, like PUBG Lite and Helix Jump. It crashes immediately as soon as i open it.
Could someone help me fix this problem, so these and other apps work again?
Some play store apps installs and works fine, others don't.:crying:
Tried clearing cache and data and reinstalling system. None worked.
I JUST flashed ViperOS, and also the battery drains a lot, which I think causes the freezings almost everytime there's 50 - 60 percent.
