My X8 is continuously crashing *randomly*. I clocked it a few times and it ran from one hour to four or less than five minutes and restarts. I have FroyoBread on my X8.
Things I already did-
1.I thought it was a virus so uninstalled most apps and removed SD card. Using xRecovery I even deleted cache and local files (includeing data reset).
2.Got rid of FroyoBread and flashed X8 ROM back onto the device. Same problem.
3.Got rid of Memory Card.
4.Reflashed. Installed FroyoBread again. Checked settings. This time, it started crashing once I tried to connect to the Internet.
5.Checked the forums already, people have similar problems, but no solutions.
Note: My phone ISN'T getting stuck at the load screen.
My phone IS ROOTED.
I DID try UNROOTING. The problem still persists.
This IS ALL the info I can provide.
Please help!!!!
try to get back to 2.1 eclair and connect phone to pc companion and then try to renew your system(either upgrade or fixing)
I got exactly the same problem. Here is what I experienced:
For the last 6 month I was running Floyo and Froyobread without any problems.
I changed to GingerDX for 2.3 also without any problems until about two weeks ago.
First I got random reboots when I switched on Mobile Data Connection. This seemed to be somehow connected to low signal strength when switching on Mobile Data Connection. Sometimes it would work without any problems, sometimes it would reboot.
When I got a random reboot, I got stuck a kind of loop. The phone would reboot normaly but as soon as it reestablishes a Data Connection crash again. So the only way to stop it was to shut down Data Connection immediately after boot.
This got gradually worse so I changed to KuyaDROID. To try and fix a posssibly ROM based problem.
But it got even worse. Now the phone would crash every time Radio Signal was established (a couple of seconds after boot), rendering the phone totally useless.
I unrooted, reflashed Stock 2.1 with SEUS, formated SD-card. Rerooted. Now, it's actually more stable than with Custom ROMs but I still get random reboots. In the last 2h my phone rebooted 3 times while I had Mobile Data Connection switched on, however, not instantly but after a couple of minutes. And once while on standby.
I tried to get some kind of error log, but sofar I only found the catlog and was not able to retrieve any information from before a random reboot.
The only other thing I noticed was that the battery level drops massively after each random reboot. Usually between 8-15%.
So I'm guessing either something related to Radio Signal / Data Conenction is broke, or there is a problem with my battery. Only I dont know if battery problems could lead to random reboots.
And just to clarify. With Random Reboots I mean the screen goes black instantly followed by an automatic reboot.
I will unrooted and reflashed Stock 2.1 with SEUS again to see if w/o root/superuser the problem still persists and if yes, try and return my phone.
If anyone got any other suggestions I would be happy to hear them..
Any news about this particular issue? I've seen many X8 "random reboots" posts and threads, but this one describes my particular problem pretty accurately. It only happens on low signal strength when the Mobile Data Connection is running.
I'm on stock kernel and this happened with the Stock ROM, FroyoBread, GingerDX and now FroyoPro. I've been hesitant to use a custom kernel since I've also read about complains of "random reboots" on custom kernels.
As stated above the reboots are random and if they happen it's only on a low signal mobile data connection. Any hints? TIA!
Same Problem..!
Same case with me...
+Random Reboot when enabeling data connection especially 2G connection (automaticly swiched when signal strength is LOW) But not on STANDBY:
when browsing pages full of pic's , downloading pic's or browsing normaly and listning to music at the same time. The phenomenon is more frequent
I deduced that it was a RAM overload as if it has no RAM space to run normaly..
And so, before browsing using data connection on 2G Mode I try to to free the most possible the RAM, and there the problem is less frequent but still exist.
On data connection 3G mod (HSDPA) Problem is less frequent alsow.
When I bot the phone it has Eclair the problem started after 2 mounths from its first START, later on I installed tow versions of Gingerbred, on the first,the problem got wors and the second was as good as Eclair but I didn't like it (However it is so so so stabel),so I am back to the Stock one !
The problem is Stabeled but not fixed.
So, COSTUME ROM isn't the cause but they are more or less involved
My experience:
+Choose a Stabel ROM (point of veiw Data Con.) I choosed Eclair but there is some good COSTUME ROM's
+Free the most possible RAM space before starting 2G/3G data Con.
+Use needed WEB app('s) only to lower the load on the RAM and the Connection
+Try to avoid 2G (EDGE or GPRS) or low Signal on 3G(HSDPA) Connections espacialy pic's and videos..
SOLVED!!!
I had the same random reboots in my x8, even using different ROMS, even different kernels. :S
Take a look at THIS THREAD to solve this issue
NOTE: some CUSTOM KERNELS may cause reboots/crashing.
Thanks mate, it works.:good:

Hi guys.
I got a Galaxy Nexus long ago so I wasnt using my DS5 anymore.
Now I could give it to my father, BUT:
It still has the error of resetting once in a time.
I shut down the phone, start it again and it is set back to new flash. As if I did a clear data....
Has anybody found out why this is happening? I cannot give this phone away if this continues.
I have a 8 GB internal SD card. Could this be the problem? I simply cloned the 2 GB to the 8 GB and resized the partitions.
ROM is Traveller.
It's not just my ROM, but all Gingerbread ROMs. There is a bug where the Streak may reboot if it isn't actively used.
http://www.dell.com/support/trouble...cles/ArticleView?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&docid=436807
The solution I found is that when you put the Streak down for the night, say to go to sleep, put the Streak into airplane mode and take it off airplane mode when you first go to use it the following day. Note that this bug appears to only occur on WiFi, with mobile data unaffected. Also, reduce the number of widgets you have running, as too many widgets suck up the remaining RAM and will cause spontaneous reboots outside of the bug I just mentioned.
I haven't had a spontaneous reboot in over a month, and currently my mobile data is inactive.
OK so i have an I9300. for about a year now i think, maybe more.
And up until lately it worked relatively fine, but lately It started to gradually become unbearably crashy and annoying.
the camera very often crashes, leaving me with an "Unable to connect to camera" message, and only after a reboot does the camera work again. it used to happen scarcely, but now i can barely take 2-4 pictures before having to reboot.
Talking about rebooting, Not only do i get random reboots all the time, but after every reboot (not just the random ones) I get a UI crash after UI crash and the only way to fix it is by locking the screen and waiting,
Usage is extremely slow, to the point where launching whatsapp takes up to 5 seconds.
I amusing the cm11 nightlies but i get this with every ROM, I've tried updating cm11 and still nothing. wiping cache and data-also nothing.
the only escape now is full SD card format, but I'm scared to do that getting the same errors after it.
Could you help me figure out what's wrong with my phone? it's the only one i have and it's unusable.
I'm scared it's a hardware problem - that i cannot fix. but the signs are all there: the errors persist through formats (i formatted once about two months ago to no avail) and wipes and reflashes.
If you need any additional details about my system that i forgot to mention, ask me obviously!
I'm guessing you have an i9300 and running cm11? That's what's in you're post so I'll go with that...cm11 is not stable enough atm. That will Explain the reboots from time to time. Best thing for you to do at this time is as always...go back to stock with Odin. Test it. Same reboots?? Back up and format you're int SD and flash again stock firmware with Odin. Still rebooting?? Possible hardware issue.
Hi,
I'm looking for some general advice and troubleshooting for my phone's issues. My phone started crashing very often, sometimes at complete random, as well as when I was using it fairly heavily (any app that froze my phone for a second before loading before the crashing would now crash my phone). Sometimes it would reboot fine, other times it would bootloop once or twice before reloading fine. I previously tried doing a factory reset, removing my external microSD card, and updating everything via Kies and nothing worked.
I got bored and rooted my phone, did a full wipe, and flashed the latest Infamous update. The problem was still there but it wouldn't crash as often while using it because my phone could handle higher app activity but it's still there. Oddly enough, after flashing Infamous, it often fails to reboot and so I have to do a battery pull before turning it back on, otherwise it won't even vibrate after holding the power button.
I'm just wondering if you guys have any idea what the issue could be. Is it likely still something I can fix? Is this potentially a battery issue or is it a hardware issue?
Thanks so much!

So when your phone have become unstable , in what condition it was ? did you ever flash it before ... so my s2x did the same thing afer a update with odin on 4.2 ... so i have reflashed it and evrything was working good after
So recently I have been having random reboots for my s6 edge (SM-G925W8) running G925W8VLU2AOG2 stock
I am not sure whats going on but when i'm at home the phone seems to be fine when connected to wifi, bluetooth etc.
As soon as I got to my university and im listening to music with Wifi turned on I believe the phone just randomly starts restarting and I cant stop seem to stop it until the phone runs out of battery, it'll keep on rebooting. I have a theory that maybe the wifi is somehow conflicting but again im not sure. The phone works fine at home....
There seems to be too many variables at play and I have no idea how to solve this
I desperately need my phone for school and personal stuff
Troubleshooting steps I have taken
- FULL factory reset with ODIN (wiped everything)
- Tried Safe mode didnt help.
I would just to bump and update you guys that I have confirmed its the wifi causing it. Everytime i connect to my school wifi , my phone just starts rebooting randomly and just keeps going. Now the question is how do i solve this =/
The problem: The first 3 times, while i was online trough wifi on battery modus, it happened to me that of all sudden, the phone tells me, the docking station is connected, while i don't have it connected, not even have a docking station. And then the cursor jumps and it trys to play crazy until i cant operate it and need to close the phone. The first time when it happened, i saved my files and flashed the stock android 5.1.1. But it didn't solve it. The trouble came again. Temporarly i found a solution, i had to remove my custom launcher(i tried many! Also the stock one. The only difference is: Here i only have to clean the cache! ) while in safe mode and when restart all was fine. I checked with almost all free antivirus and antispywares apps, but there was nothing. It also removes allmost all icons after restart and then i have to install again a launcher and the icons will reapear and i need to rearange them again.
The best temporarly solution: After the 3 times, i managed to solve the problem, while leave it untouched and close wifi. It calms down that way without closeing the phone, don't know why. Don't know if its a security flaw, or just because i stay long on wifi. But it happens always when i browse the web and even with all browsers, stock and firefox and chrome. And then it continues to work normaly after i log in to my phone again, while the browser were i was surfing, i encounter as crashed, and i can go wifi again. I don't even know if its a hacking attempt.
But i just wanted to share this, it may help some, and i hope there will be a solution for this, thanks.
