My Streak started acting word last month giving a lot of force closures and stuff. I first began batteling this by installing Streakdroid 1.9 and that was fine for a couple weeks.
Then the force closures came back. Along with random freezes and reboots. I was just living with that until my streak stopped communicating with the cell towers. It became stuck in airplane mode but I could still turn on wifi.
So I installed gingerstreak and enjoyed that for a day before the random restarts came back with a vengeance. I suspected the amss.mbn file.
I then used the QDL tool to get my streak back to the 309 radios. I installed 309 via the awesome multirecoveryflasher. I then allowed my streak to update itself to 351 and spots there.
And it was great for a day. I had no random restarts no fcs.
I installed a chess app and was playing a game when the capacitive buttons blinked 3 times and my phone shutdown.
That began the continuous blinking lights reboot cycle. I got my streak out of that by reapplying the update package and doing a couple factory resets.
So now it is working again, but sometimes it freezes, blinks the lights, and restarts maybe a few times before it fully boots up and allows me to use it for a while.
Is my streak hosed??

Given that you had a done a factory reset, i take it that the restarts also happen with just the stock apps?
Could it be faulty ram or sdcard perhaps? Maybe try taking out/in the sdcard?

Yes it was happening even after the factory reset.
That could maybe be the issue. I did recently get a new 32gb sd card for my Streak. But, I tested device with the built in diagnostics and both the internal and external sd cards passed.

Could either swap back to the old one and see if you still have problems or try dismount/mount/formatting the new sdcard again i guess.
Is there a chance it is my sim card?
I had the restart loop thing happen again today. So I pulled my sd card and still looping restarts. Then I pulled the sim card and my phone started right up.
Like I am going to put my sim card back in and see what happens now.

Restart loop with my sim card in but phone starts with it out. Tried it with the sim out again and restart loop.
Tried it with another sim and phone started fine. Tried my sim again and my phone started.
So my sim card is back in now but I think I am going to get a new one from at$t tomorrow.

Hmm that's weird haha
Well at least you narrowed down the problem
Hope everything works well after the exchange
Ok so new sim card and flashing lights restart loop.
Super happy not fun or really happy time. :-(
Guess I need to send my steak for repair?
It is working right now. Do you think I have anything left to try?

You can also try flashing the 351 "amss.mbn" and "dsp1.mbn" file from http://<<mirror2.streakdroid.com>>/manii//351/ (remove the << and >>)
Amazing! I have exactly same problem as you, and with similar timeline! (starting to think it's like some Dell timebomb to force us to buy new tablet ;-)
Already tried everything like you. When works, it's OK until it start to connect to 3g, connection works for some time (minute or so) and then streak freezes (i need to remove battery) or reboots with flashing buttons. After that, it simply turns into Dell logo bootloop with battery draining (and overheating) fast or it reboots to android gui and when connects to mobile network buttons flashes and reboot again.
When i remove simcard, it often boots almost normally, although i noticed few times that it was reboooting without simcard, but much less frequently.
Then i need to remove battery for few hours, after that, it usually it turns on (better luck if i remove sim card).
Hoped that it's some kind of software error, but when i tried almost every available rom (stock or modded) i'm pretty much convinced it's hardware problem: some electronic failure, possible overheating sensitivity (although i did checking battery temperature when reboots happened - it was not as much - 30-33°C) or internal sd failure (although i can't see what it has to do with simcard as a source of problem...).
I tried 351 stock and amss and dsp, and did not help.
htcjikelly, please report if you have find some info about our problem (i'll do same)
unfortunately, i noticed that normal working periods are shorting rapidly, so i think that problem is progressing, and wouldn't be surprised to se my streak dead soon :-(
hopefully not before i try my warranty...

I have not been able to restore my Streak to total rock solid function. My brother had one lying around and he gave it to me.
So now I have one of the white streaks with 1.6 on it. I want to pull a backup from this new phone to see what that will do to my old one. I've got to figure out how to do that first though.
There's got to be a way. Maybe I can copy everything off the white one's internal SD card and copy it to my old one.
The warranty. I purchased one from squaretrade and I supposedly have one with AT&T as well. Maybe I should look into that.
Same problem here
I have the same problem with my streak, it randomly reboot, the lights flashes some times and it stay in a loop for a while.
But I live in Brazil, and can rma this thing, actually, I can do nothing, because it wasn't launch in Brazil oficially, and it's second handed.
I need some help.

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.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
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 -

"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^^

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.
Is anyone else having their streaks randomly shutting down or restart. while it's on, while it's off. Just random.... so far it's been between 1-15 min..
I have streakdroid 1.6.1 with volume hack..
I've read some things on other phones doing similar things and I've tried taking out the sd card.. nothing..
I have the same problem on streakdroid 1.8.1 with perfmod, mine dose about 10 random reboots in a row but after that it will work fine for a weak or so before it starts to do random reboots again. Any solutions?
Factory resets

The first piece i bought from the store had this problem (they had sold me a demo piece btw). Got it replaced and the new one works just fine.
Random reboots while on....
I am having a similar problem but it's only when my Streak is turned on...
If it receives a slight bump it will reboot itself like if something is loose. I have read it has something to do with the battery cover but I haven't found a definite fix yet...
Bad SIM card??
I know this is an old thread, but instead of starting a new one...
My streak started just out of the blue rebooting. It would go 10-15 minutes, just sitting, then die and reboot.
Tried the following:
1. clean contacts
2. Slightly bend up the back cover switch thingy contacts (both)
3. Paper over the battery
4. Tighten the hooks on the back cover.
5. Uninstall anything I have in the last 24 hours, including scripts etc.
6. Removing the 16gig SD card.
Short of doing a factory reset, nothing has helped.
Did a search, found a couple of posts where removing the sim card seemed to
fix their problems, so I gave that a shot.
So far (hour) it hasn't acted up. I've run quad benchmark, market app,
downloaded a few apps, reinstalled the V6 supercharger scripts...no problems.
I wasn't aware a sim card could go "bad". I suppose it is a semiconductor
that as with any semiconductor, can wig out for no apparent reason?
The card that is in the phone is the 1/2 white 1/2 blue one with the orange
3G fireball thingy at the top. It came with my HTC Tilt2 when it was new, so it is about 2 years old.
Must not be the sim or sd card. Short just wiping back to factory, I've done everything I can do,
I had to return my Streak because of a constant restart issue. Mine would flash the button lights three times and then restart. Only having the sim card out allowed it to function normally.
AT$T replaced the sim card but the problem came right back. I contacted Dell and they sent me a refurbished unit. The refurbished unit had the exact same issue. Dell sent me another that seems to be working, although, I may have just screwed it up trying to install 2.3.3 on it.
It's only rebooted 3 times today, kind of annoying since I wear a BT and it goes beep beep beep when it reboots, but I thought it might be a good time to try one of the other roms. It's already not working so what the heck

Not trying to toot my own horn or anything, but Streakin'354 is my ROM (It's in the Android Development Section) and I don't have random reboots with it. I had them with Streakdroid. Couldn't tell you about stock, as I haven't had a stock ROM on my phone for more than a couple hours since I bought it. Here is my procedure that works great for me. Takes about 15-20 minutes:
Flash the stock 354 recovery
Copy the pkg file for stock 354 to your SD Card and rename it Update.pkg
With the phone off, hold down the volume + and - keys along with the power button.
On the screen that pops up, choose option #2
Your phone will now install Stock 354, let it fully boot.
Flash Streakmod recovery
Reboot and as soon as the screen goes dark, hold down volume + and -
Choose to flash from update.zip and point it to wherever your saved your custom rom
Reboot, again holding the volume + and - keys when the screen goes dark.
Choose option 1 this time (Factory Reset)
It will appear to bootloop once, this is normal.
You now have a fresh install of a custom ROM.
Reinstall all your apps (I have used Titanium Backup for mine without issue, but some people report problems with apps after restoring from Titanium.)
For ease of use, you can use MultiRecoveryFlasher (found in the Android Development section) for flashing the recovery images and the pkg file can be found here:
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_354_15881_11.pkg
Keep in mind that the method I just described will wipe your phone (but not your sd card)
Almost forgot! Here is the link to my Rom's thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1243329
Ok, so I just got a replacement phone a couple of days ago after my last one got smashed (don't ask =() but I've noticed that this one kept randomly rebooting. I thought it might have had to do with the fact that I just did a nandroid restore from the other phone plus sd card without wiping anything. I tried wiping things, nothing. I did a RUU restore, still crashed.
I was going to try S-ON until I ran a thread on the same issue happening on the EVO 4G and someone solved it by flashing a different radio on it. The one that came with my replacement is the 0.97.10.0530 version, I restored it to 0.97.00.0518 (the one I had on my original 3D). Since then I haven't noticed any more random reboots (I found that I could actually reproduce the error by turning wifi on and off).
Is this an actual fix or did my phone magically fix itself? I'm asking because if it it's just temporary and irrelevant to the radio flash, I want to exchange it within the 7 days the insurance company gives me.
I hope you did not restore your Wimax keys from the other device!!
If you did, bye- bye 4g...you erased your unique keys to your new phone.
I haven't looked into the issue one bit as mine has never rebooted, but with other phones 99% of the time its kernel related
I take that back, it worked for the longest time then out of nowhere, it started doing the random reboots again. After that I tried to restore it completely to stock with s-on and reroot it. Worked for a while as well and it started crapping out again. Getting a replacement shipped overnight.
And I didn't restore wimax from old phone =p
I'm also having the random reboot issue. I'm still within my 30 days but I don't believe its a hardware problem. Seems to me that it only occurs when connected to WiFi. Can others confirm this is the case for them also?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
the random reboots has to do with the cache not the hardware. When you have too much memory in the cache, the OS freaks out and reboots. I had the same issue a week into having my phone, got it replaced, and the new one did the same thing.
My fix was to clear the cache using the app2sd app from the market, turn off the phone, remove the battery and leave it out for 5 minutes, put the battery back in, and turn it on. I haven't had a random reboot since.

See that's whats weird. I would just do that, have it turn on (and not interact with it) and then after a bit I'd turn the screen on, it would just crash and reboot.
Evo2dn, I find I can reproduce it if I toggle wi-fi or any of the quick settings.
Good. Many good phones lost 4g that way.

mine did this a few times as well when i first got it.
it was pretty random, but mine would also do it if i left the phone in my pocket for an extended amount of time it seemed, or for some reason it seemed related to that. i was wrong, however.
i replaced the SD card, never happened again.
you have to remember that your phone is a computer.... and computers will reboot to check a bad disk.... that was the issue with mine.
not saying this is YOUR particular issue, but your problems are consistent with what mine was doing before i figured out what was wrong with it.
one way i knew for a fact it was my SD taking a **** on me was when i would try to move applications from the internal mem to the SD, i would get this error "failed to move application"... i would try again, and it would go. this was also a randomly occurring event, and was not related to some particular app...
before i replaced the SD card i moved all my apps from the card to the internal mem of the phone...
when i replaced it, booted up, and attempted to move the applications back to the SD card.... EVERY one of them moved without a single error.
try replacing your sd card.
Mine would reboot randomly, and have the terrible bsod. I thought I was going to break the back because of how many I had to take it off.
Luckily, after flashing gb-sense I haven't had a single problem. Now I am on Synergy 468, and it hasn't happened on it either. I'm guessing it was software related.
I tried changing my SD card, wasn't it, I have two 6gb ones and my 32 gig one I use, formatted it just in case as well, nothing, still crashes.
Mine does it on every rom I tried it on, inducing the default Sense ROM. I agree that issues like these are usually software based but I have tried everything I can possibly imagine plus everything else I read from other people and it still crashes. It is probably hardware.
I too have tried different SD cards with same result. I was also getting the BSOD prior to taking all the OTA updates. After taking the updates, I'm no longer getting the BSOD but the reboot still remains.
So I got my replacement phone and restored it exactly how my original replacement was and have had zero problems.
So I think it's safe to say that although not all the time, this can be a hardware issue. Only the problem with this one is a stuck white pixel on the bottom left. But I'll live

im going on my 3rd replacement , has anyone who has cliamed to have fixed there problem really fixed it? have your fixes really ixed your reboot issue.?.
Put me in the group too...
On 2.3.3 I never got a random reboot. But when I overclocked at ALL it would eventually BlackSoD. But now that I'm on 2.3.4 it seeks that has been replaced with random rebooting. I've used Synergy pretty exclusively buy have switched to try and find a Rom that doesn't do this!. I'm currently on Warm TwoPointThree. Did a full wipe and install and in the middle of restoring user apps with titanium backup it rebooted. Been on the Rom for 9hrs (mostly asleep) and its rebooted 3 times already.
Yea, my as well. I have been running SteelH's rom. I'm sure it's not related, it happened witha previous mod as well. It does seem to happen more often on wifi, but I've noticed it with it off as well. I have had both issues with my phone restarting... but more often than not the issue has been that it would freeze all together and I would have to pull the battery.
Strange thing is, there are times where it happens 3 times in a day... then I can go 3 days and not have it happen once.
I've been using cache cleaner and having it clear my cache on it's own twice a day. Been doing this for 2 days so far and haven't had a reset. I will let you all know if that does any good in a few days.

A few things I suggest to you guys (while searching for a fix on my defective phone, these seem to work for some people).
- Reflash kernel or even try a different one or return to stock.
- Factory reset and test it for a bit, THEN put stuff back on it
- Swap out SD cards and see if the phone is more stable, if so try to reformat card and try to use it again, if it persists, it could be a defective SD card.
- RUU recovery flash, turn S-ON then S-OFF after that and re-root.
Hey, a few months ago, thanks to you guys, I got Prime v2 up and running on my optimus and ever since then it will occasionally freeze up attempt to restart and then lock up on the android screen and i have to take out the battery and restart it. What I'm guessing is going on is that the phone think the SD card (where it runs Prime from) is removed. When I had the stock T-Mobile software on it I always had warnings about the SD card being removed. Well the past few weeks this has been happening about 8-12 times a day and sometimes I don't notice it and my phone has been offline for an hour, missing calls.
Is this common? Is it a hardware thing I can fix or just a software issue I can fix fix with a ROM upgrade? I'm thinking of just flashing back the T-Mobile software but I really really don't want to have to reinstall and setup all my apps and re-enter all my contacts (Gmail syncing doesn't work that well here in China for some reason). Honestly the only thing that I need the ROM for is using my VPN because the stock won't do it.
could be some damaged / bent pins on the sd area
This is unusual... Never happened to me before

I also had some SD card and boot issues with the prime rom. Switched to CM7 rom a few days ago and until now it works flawlessly.
This is the rom I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
This has happened to me twice, though I'm on stock 2.2.2. My phone is rooted and I use Link2SD.
The first time, I was listening to some songs when suddenly the SD card unmounted itself and the phone suddenly restarted from the Android screen, and got stuck there, same as you. The second time, I took my phone from my pocket and found it at the android screen, stuck! Both times, I had to take out my battery, and then switch on the phone again.
Both times, there is no reason for the phone to hang because it ran out of memory or something, because I clear unwanted background apps from time to time, and on both occasions, I wasn't running any apps that take up a lot of system resources.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
