Have you guys ever experienced your x10 randomly restarting itself? Sometimes when I'm talking on the phone or just have my phone lying on my bed, it just restarts itself. I doesn't bother me too much since it isn't that frequent, but it pisses me off when it does restarts while I am on the phone...
Does anyone know why it does this and how it can be prevented?
Hi shukla,
I've got exactly the same problem! Which firmware is on your phone? I've got the 026 on my X10i. I think it's the firmware or the new root method?!
If I'll find some time this week I would like to try some things out...Some other experienced that problems, too?
Regards,
Martin
I've had random reboots as well running 26 firmware (using the 3 step root method) thankfully never during a call last time was while in Toronto this past Saturday taking pictures with Vignette.
I'm on 024 (rooted).
I think I was wrong with my thoughts. Today I've read a lot about our problem with rebooting. Seems it is the Sony backup application. It is randomly accessing the SIM card and thats the reason why our phones crashes. Right now I am going to flash my phone again. I'll tell you some more details after flashing is done.
Ok, well it's not easy to fix that problem. Yesterday I flashed my X10 about 6 times. With original SEUS firmware and the problem still appears. Then I flashed with 026 debranded firmware. After that I rooted my phone with the doshaska.net method. After that I removed the restore/backup app from /system/app. The problem still appears till now - but not so often. In fact, I had reboots every minute, so my phone didn't came up. I really don't have a clue why it happen. Someone else got an idea?
Regards ,
Martin
The only way I could stop mine from rebooting was to remove SetCPU. Are you using it? If so, feeze it or remove it and see how it goes. I do have another problem now with the damn screen not sleeping unless i push the power button! Oh well, the joy of fiddling
Nothing out of the usual battery dain yet. I am running the branded Dutch t- mobile firmware. I'm going to root it soon.

alright i found the solution myself...this post is just to help others
flashing did not solve my problem at all, through SEUS or rooting method nope the problem didn't go
finally i removed my memory card and everything was fine
some things on memory card could cause reboot during calls or randomly, next time try formatting your memory card
hope it help someone
cheers!
luv my x10 though i ve also got iphone but i ve never looked back
Just curious, how hot is everyone's phone when it reboots? I've noticed my x10 doing the same when its running a little warm. It usually starts acting up when it's over 105 degrees Fahrenheit.

Gitin thx..it looks much better now, however yeasterday I was carrying my x10(still with no memory card in it) in the pocket, it got pretty hot (most probably over 38 degrees) and it turned into this rebooting "mode"..finally I left battery for 20 minutes in cold place..x10 got back to normal..I think that random reboots are the matter of memory card issue (You have solved this problem) or/and overheating of battery - still couldnt find any clue how to ease this pain but read somewhere that Froyo for x10 will have this problem taken care of..
i think ( depends on my experiences) the telephone need to reboot coz one applications from SD card want to launch (send or receive) some commands from or to internal (built in memory).
that's means this applications needs to move temporary to internal memory just to execute this command so absolutely android system will restart to create virtual memory to this application to let it runs correctly
first it's better to remove backup/restore programs or make its runs manually, if you have another software need to save data to SD memory ,remove it.
it's better to launch applications directly from internal memory to win the time and performance but At the expense of the memory size
ps: all that explanations depend on the framework version.
sorry for complex explain but i don't have easy way to explain this problems
i suddenly have it now to, first every hour, now every 5 minutes, my phone won't start up anymore
sorry..bad news..its pretty cold here in Poland so battery shouldnt turn to hot that easily but apparently the problem is more serious..I have to admit that random reboots occur less frequently than before but that **** still hapens to my x10..after no more than 2 days I had gotten memory card removed it got back to malfunctioning again..
it really pisses me off that I cant enjoy this phone anymore..
android 2.1 or higher is my only hope..
if anybody solved that issue entirely..please, dont be shy, do not hesitate..help us, please!

i too am hanging on for the 2.1 update to hope it solves the problem. I've a feeling there's going to be a lot of x10s going into SE for a service though when it is released and doesn't solve the problem!
I'm not 100% but is this problem the entire phone powering down, or just the connection to your network, mine just loses its network connection and then connects again, over and over ........
there's nothing 2.1 update will do
as our phone was working fine when v bought it, its completely a hardware fault
ok do this...
1.take out sim
2.format ur memory card
3.repair through SEUS or root process watever..
4.turn on ur x10 without sim and leaving formatted card inside
it will still give u hard time u can try putting some video on ur memory card and try to play it few times, ur x10 will turn off and wont turn on until u take out battery for few seconds or take ur x10 in front of Air-Conditioner
as someone suggested in rooting thread to keep ur x10 in front of air-conditioner if u get errors while rooting or if rooting process stucks in middle
the same thing applies in our case...try using ur phone in front of A-Con it wont turn off
i tried with a new battery ...still the same
as i ve been repairing mobile phone from last 5 years, i opened my x10, took out the motherboard, took out all plates over IC's, cpu and cleaned it with acetone properly and heated cpu and whole board with Hot Air Gun...everybody who repairs mobile phones knows what i am talking about
still its the same....
still i am not saying i know everything, anybody knows what the problem is and suggest the overcome is most welcome
nxt few months gonna b really cold at my place...i definitely think i'll notice a difference as its really hot these days which is causing my x10 to die
I did experience this when I debranded my AT&T X10. I have since gone back to the AT&T ROM and have not had this issue since. My battery life has also improved. I did root and remove all the AT&T bloatware. I also edited settings.db to allow for installing non-market apps. This phone is very fast and smooth now with almost no glitches at all.
mine won't even work anymore..once per every 20 or 30 times and than it turns off itself very quick..I can't recharge battery, nothing..really hope that 2.1 will help somehow..I am thinking of getting back to very first soft that x10 was launched with..seriously I am sickin tired with that ****..

Hi, I have an AT&T X10 and wonder what you debranded your phone to? I debranded mine about a week after I got it to R2BA026 Latin America and never had any issue with rebooting.
Aside from needing to power off the phone to check for software updates (two weeks ago of course ) my phone has been up for +358 hours without an issue, and that's with installing the AmbientTime home screen several days ago.
Repaired the phone twice and still getting constant reboots its ver annoying, anyone else had this issue moving to nordic 2.1 [UK] keeps happening when trying to download from market mostly at the moment
same problem, havent found fix yet
EDIT: only seems to happen when trying to enter "Downloads" section of market

reboots while on GPS
It doesnt allow me to start the GPS hardware. If I disable the GPS hardware and start gmaps it works fine but when the GPS is enabled and the moment I enter the GMaps the small icon blinks for a bit and the phone reboots.
any clues ?
i think we all are facing similar problem
i had posted the following on this thread -
t=830520
"i am facing the same issue...a workaround is to remove the battery, sim and sd card for 5 minutes and then put them all back and start
although the phone starts sometimes when i connect to my computer or try to restore the backup it gets into the loop again"

Have the same problem. When I open Navigation Software, it works fine. When I turn on the GPS Satellite it reboots itself.
No ideas?
I no longer have the jit hack, but I remember reading in the thread that once your memory goes under a certain percentage it reboots. So they suggested using a task killer.
just fyi^^

That sounds like it fits, mine only really reboots when I stress it
Tho I notice when I kill apps, it kills my phone signal then reconnects. Any idea on what I need to exclude to stop that?

Anyone found a good fix for this I cant even open a game or GPS for longer than a min, just froze and reboot on a phone call and had to leave the battery out for a bit, this has been going on for ages now and getting worse and hotter. Only just got it back from SE Repair yesterday with a software reflash despite me stating in the letter that does not fix the issue, argues half the day with SE girl who said they wont replace any parts on 1st or second return even if they know there is a problem with it, i ended up loosing it a little. Very poor from a big company, send an email yesterday to SE main office and complaints, no reply either. The shop wont replace as its been 5 months says its SE's problem, but my phone is essentially becoming a paper weight
What annoys me most is a bought a webcam over a year ago from ebay and now its buggerd 1 email to microsoft tech support and they are sending a replacement out no need to send back the current one. Came as an open box purchase and everything, but when you pay for expensive hardware thats faulty the company has no interest in a propper repair/replace
It was a problem of power management chip and power path problem probably too little vias or whatnot. You need to get it fixed at the stealer for the main board replacement. Reflashing your device won't work at all. And you have to refrain from using cpu intensive app like robo defense and charging the device at the same time.
Ok, this is not some whining thread about the x10, so if you want to whine, go somewhere else...
Now that's the disclaimer out of the way...
Is anyone finding their x10 is just getting worse on 1.6...?
I never had any real issues except the occasional freeze, which now seems to have partially resolved itself, but now the following issues are starting to creep in, which I have never ever had before (these have all started in the last week or so)
Phone will just hang up when I'm in the middle of a conversation
Mobile Data seems to just not want to connect/turn on
Widgets seem un-responsive - they often don't recognise that I'm tapping them
Phone reboots by itself
Incredible sluggishness (like 10 seconds to respond) to certain events
I'm not asking if you've had these kind of issues for ever - all phones seem to have some stupid quirk that stops them working properly (mine was freezes) - I really want to know if any one else's phone has just recently started to deteriorate on its own (I haven't dropped it, rooted it, changed it, kicked it or anything)
I'm just hoping that when my carrier 2.1 comes along, these things will fix themselves...

I've always had these problems since i installed 2.1, i've been waiting for it to go away Well actually I've only had the last issue, ie sluggishness
With 2.1, I'm sure that most of your issue will be fixed
I rarly get lagg; I only get lag when I'm running like 10-15 different applications as once!
Only thing that sucks about xperia though is that there is WAY to much BLUE on it
But I'm sure you'll be happy with 2.1
My main concern is that these things have crept up just recently... it's just odd...
CAnt connect through my PC anymore via cable, also very sluggish.

You're on 2.1 though... could be to do with your update - I'm talking about 1.6 just getting worse...
Unless, of course everything was fine when you updated, and now it starting to get worse...
I've had some unresponsiveness while clicking widgets or accessing the menu
Camera seems to be slower when trying to access
think so far it's all
Yeah, the same thing has been happening to me for the last couple of weeks. Phone has been freezing, acting oddly or slow, and rebooting on its own.
The big disclaimer here is that I'd recently updated a bunch of my apps, so I figured the issue may lay with one of those, and with 2.1 coming shortly (hopefully, Rogers!), I can't be bothered uninstalling then one by one to see if I'm right. If the issues continue post-2.1, then I'll have to start tinkering.

So 2.1 has finally arrived. After flashing it using the Global Flash-tool version as I have a Dutch branded X10i it seemed extremely slow, at first I waited and waited. No result.
After checking with 'Android System Info' and 'System Panel' the CPU usage is between 99% and 100%. Constantly!
It's strange that no process is using 100%, at some point 'acore' is using 100%, not all the time.
Is anyone else having the same problem? Lag anyone? Check your CPU usage!
I've all-ready re-flashed and rooted twice. Same issue...

Fixed it!
1. Updated with Flashtool
2. Formated SD and removed all pictures (1000+)
3. Factory reset
4. Restore with PCC 2.0
5. Factory reset
6. Format SD
NO MORE LAG!
Hey guys, I've been having issues with my X10a's data connection. Tried the latest Wolf's gingerbread, and of course flashing down to a generic 2.1 which does seem a bit more stable on the connection but I'm hoping I can figure out the issue completely.
Basically, when the radio initiates a data connection the handset has a good chance of freezing up and plopping itself into a nasty little reboot. Now I've tried up and down flashes like I said, tried a new battery, SD cards and I'll probably resort to buying a new sim to test with to rule that last bit out too. Any help would really be appreciated. Here's some current info.
*Wireless seems to work just fine
*can make calls send texts
Carrier AT&T
Android Ver. 2.3.3
Baseband Ver. 2.1.71
Kernel: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537
Thanks in advance for any help guys.
Maybe this can help:
Via recovery:
Wipe dalvik cache
advanced options-fix permissions.
greets
Tried it a couple times but it Didn't seem to help any unfortunately, thanks anyway.
Edit: I've set my phone to not use Data on the phone radio for the time being so I can still at least use wifi which seems to be doing just fine Calls work and text messaging works just fine too bizarrely enough. Another thing I'd like to note is that One dump log (that I unfortunately lost) from when I was testing to make sure it wasn't a heat issue both times seemed to point to some possible networking related aspect, NPARTS? or the like with some other stuff.

cuz im not the expert @@
im afraid of making mistake as well?
so yeah, better in conversation but i got my phone work after 2 days of flashing back and forth @@
but anyway... will see how it go with the person i just helped, if it goes well then i ll start, if not then idk... will figure something out
Well, no luck with any 2.3.3 based android unfortunately so I down flashed to a 10a 2.1 build and that seems to run just fine as far as the radio is concerned, in the end I think there's just so many factors to muddle through hardware wise cables, sims, batteries yada-yada that i'll take this turn of fortune and wait to see if SE ever releases anything 10a specific on the assumption there may be an off chance it addresses some rare little quirk a few others and myself seem to have.
Sounds similar to my problem, maybe same solution... Every time phone is on charger and network is used, phone automatically rebooted after a little while. For me, this was same on all WB GB roms until now. But now, I am typing this and browsing XDA while charging and its not rebooting. I cant give you a guarantee but maybe phone just needs time to settle? Its been preyty good to me for a while now.
flash the phone in the weekend and leave it alone for like half a day or something^^
i leave it overnight and surprisingly wake up and see the phone is on without any lose of battery ( well, 1or 2% ) ^^!
Just an update on my progress. I was playing around with the phone last night, and had managed to get it to the stage of having the 2.3 update but without a sim. I charged it to 100% and then attempted to put in the sim card. It didn't like that very much and instead of going through the restart loop, it just would not turn on.
I flashed it back to 2.1 and i it worked again. Then i flashed it to 2.3 and it wouldn't turn on again. Flashed it back to 2.1 and gave up for the night.
This morning, i tried to put in the sim card in 2.1 and it worked!
I think on my next days off, (in 2 days) i will try and flash it to 2.3 and see what happens.
In reference to the posibility of a hardware issue, i did not smell any burning The phone has been running all night and the battery is not hot at all. In fact it is cold. It could still be a hardware issue, but I'm not getting any of the issues described in that thread mentioned execpt the restarting.
Yeah, it's seeming like our phones are in a little "Does not like 2.3" minority If I could decipher the hardware version stuff under the battery maybe that would offer some more clues up.

Yeah, i'll take a picture of the the specs and post it up here in the next few days.
srsly guys... u need more than a day to flashing around to get it working.. especially the BB + kernel... as far as i can remember... because mine is x10a... i flashed the 2.1 generic FW and i have BB54... then i root + install xrecovery...
then i flash the 2.3 ftf via flashtool using the flashtool mentioned in Doomlord rooting method section ( because the xrecovery only working if u install through that version)
after flash, i leave it all night ( well because i felt to sleep while the phone still booting) in the morning i wake up and there it is... battery is nearly as full and phone running great with signal
then i root the phone via doomlord method + install xrecovery... then leave the phone for a while see if any reboot--- but none
so i start flash via xrecovery wolf's version... firstly on 3.5.... nothign else and leave it for half a day....
Yeah, that's what i plan on trying. The method of leaving it for a while after you have done something worked for my sim card issue.
do it on weekend yeah? or else u gonna get bored because otw to work the x10 keep rebooting =))
I use xperia x10a japanese docomo base. And i have the same problem
Any gingerbread rom get into boot loop once i insert my sim card. Without sim, it just works fine. What might be the problem, and how to fix it?
So far so good
I can confirm a very slow and steady pace works the best, Running Wolf's now and it seems stable so far, I'll keep an eye on it and give you guys an update in a while.
it will be fine.. just let it run without flashing anything ^^!
for a while
Hello!
Well... I have this phone since yesterday... I plugged to the computer with Kies, and well, a update was available... now the phone have Froyo and the aesthetics changed completely, it looks awesome.
But, the phone have this ANNOYING problem that, after using it... like 5~10 minutes of no activity, when I try to use the phone again it doesnt work... doesn't respond to any button, I have to take off the battery in order to restart it and that over and over again...
I've realized also that this happens when I'm using wifi, if I left the phone with wifi on this happens, without wifi seems to work fine.
Somebody have any clue what could be? there's little information about this issue in the internet...
I think I'm going to return it but I want to try everything I can do (without voiding the warranty) since the phone was perfect for what I wanted.
Thanks in advance!
Hey. I got the same problem here. It only happened a few times when I just had froyo that came stock on my galaxy 5 but I recently installed cyanogenmod 7 and now its happening everytime I put my phone down.
So I'm guessing it may be directly related to what rom is installed? I've heard about it happening a bit to people who have 2.1 installed to.
I dont know too much but it seems the only fix is to take out battery and turn on.
Sorry I can't help more. I hope somebody knows a bit more than me on this.
Think this is called something like the 'wifi sleep of death', something to do with the rom. i'd try change the rom and see if it still occurs
Thanks for the hints tho!, but I returned the phone... it seems that is a bug related to the update of the phone, since I know that with the out of the box 2.1 version it doesn't have that issue...
You know, the mobile carriers also do weird stuff to the roms... -__-
