[Q] Phone keeps restarting randomly. - Optimus One, P500, V General

I looked at the similar threads and none them had to do with my phone. I think it has to do with the sd card as I have unmounted it and it doesn't seem to restart. Today it was restarting about ever 10 minutes. I looked at the log cat and it has no terrible faliures just a bunch of errors which seem to keep occuring but not restarting my phone afterwords. Some of these errors are parsing error in audiofilter.csv, write int failed to open sys class leds red brightness, console unable to post message :0 and a few other random errors. But the audio one and the console messages appear way more often. The sys class leds appeared only once. Is there something I can do to fix this? I just had the phone flashed with the ICS 2.3.7 Rom and everything seemed fine til today.

1) what phone are u using?
2) which kernel are u using?
3) which rom are u using?
4) did you install any new apps/scripts prior to the problem?

1. LG Optimus V
2. 2.6.32.9-v3.3 [email protected]# 1
3. ICSandwich2.3.7 - Final Edition [November 29, 2011]
4. Micdroid, 4shared, micdroid, rootexplorer, and updates for superuser.
Those are the only things I have installed when flashing this rom like the night before yesterday. Also the kernel is the one that the rom came with it seems like all roms I have used so far have this kernel I would really like a different kernel if possible. Other than that I really think it has to do with the sdcard. I have it unmounted and ever since then it has stopped restarting the phone. I have had this same problem with all roms no matter which one I use even when I first got the phone and didn't touch anything on it. The phone randomly restarts when the sdcard is mounted and when trying to play games that are on the sdcard the phone freezes. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue because I don't have a bunch of space on the phone itself to store games so they work and I can't keep the sdcard mounted as it will restart the phone there must be something that can fix this sdcard issue.

Are you using any ext partitions? seems to me as though the sd card is faulty, have you tried with another sd card? does the problem persist when the sd card is NOT mounted?
how about u try reformatting your sd card, after backing up the contents, then remount it.

"I think it has to do with the sd card as I have unmounted it and it doesn't seem to restart." First post. "Other than that I really think it has to do with the sdcard. I have it unmounted and ever since then it has stopped restarting the phone." Second post. So yes I have unmounted the sd card and the problem no longer presists. Just one thing that does happen even with the sd card unmounted which would be the web stops working. I have to turn off the mobile data for a second or so then turn it back on then it starts to work again. But this doesn't seem to happen too often. I will get back to you tomorrow on the reformatting the card as it is a little late and I am going to be going to bed soon.

Well it would seem like formatting the card didn't do anything for it and I have tried different ones they are all identical cards though. Also I have the issue of the phone shutting down entirely with no notice or anything. Like I could have it on to charge and later I go to it and find that it is off completely even though it is on the charger. I could have it where I can see it on the charger and keep an eye on it but it shows no sign of turning the screen on and telling me of it going to shut off. So is it that the phone gets overheated and shuts off with no notice or what?

This **** used to happen to me when I had go launcher... no root... no custom ROM, nothing, go launcher made me do my 1st factory reset... I woke up every night when it kept doing the boot sound... then I got bootloops... after 1 month, thought I give GO launcher another try... this time I had it rooted... so I just flashed cm7, did a full wipe, and now I am happy with it...

Well this rom doesn't have go launcher it has ics theme with magic locker which I think might be causing some issues.

I had the same problems with my Optimus One and 2.2, but I could stop it by not turning wifi off.
I know, it sounds completely unrelated and I didn't even want to try it at first but it stopped my phone from rebooting randomly. My device did "only" reboot once or twice a day, though.

Then it may not be the wifi either. It has to be something. I haven't had this many issues since I got the phone. I guess I will be flashing to a rom that hasn't given me little to no issues.

I have decided to reformat my phone with a different rom. Now I have BACKside-IHO-VM670-12072011 ([ROM+Kernel] Inferior Human Organs unofficial CM7.1) it has only restarted on me once within 2 days but the main problem is that even though I have wiped the battery stats and the battery is at 100% while on the charger and I am using it after 3 hours it seems to shut off like it is dead when I leave it for a minute. It just has a black screen and it won't power up. I have to remove the battery and put it back in and then it comes on and boots up and says it is still at 100%.

Any help here?

I left a friends, pulled my phone out (non rooted and only 3 days old) and it wouldn't turn on. I pressed and pressed but nothing I did would get the phone to activate, no lock screen... Nuthin!
I pulled the battery and tried again, it booted up, twice and then the lock screen was back. When I unlocked it I went to look at my apps and noticed quite a few were listed as com.blahblahblah.android.... whatever, with no icons...
Then I went to the app drawer and looked for those apps and (see image) that's what they looked like.... When I tried to press them I got a "this app is not installed" message.... WTF?
Anyone else ever get this?
I'm going to try a factory reset and see if it happens again.
are you talking about the greyed out ones? there on ur sd card, unmount and remount ur sd card, doesnt seem to be loading correctly. sometimes i have issues where 1 rogue app doesnt load, never had it where all of them did unless it wasnt mounted
I noticed that when I plugged into my pc that my internal storage didn't show up, only the sd card.... Strange.....
windows tends to pop up a window asking if you want "fix" or error check your sd card. if you accidentally chose it, you may have to reformat it and reinstall your apps.
I guess what was most disturbing was the phone becoming non-responsive. Just wondering if my sd card going to pot would do that? Or is my phone screwed up and wrecking my sd card or some other disconnect there?

[Q] Official ICS update causing reboots

I know I know, I am very late to the party.
But anyway, I finally installed the ICS update a few hours ago.... and my phone won't stop rebooting now.
Its not a boot loop, because it does get into Sense UI and I can use it, but eventually after a few minutes, it will reboot all on it's own with no warning. I assume its loading my (rather large) list of apps from the SD card since I have never seen it reboot until it finally wakes up, realizes a SD card is indeed mounted, and starts populating my app list. I never saw that process finish from the few times I bothered to watch it.
I tried removing the SD card and now its no longer rebooting, so unless taking out the battery did something, I assume its likely the SD card.
Is there any way to tell what is causing it without reformatting my phone? I REALLY don't want to wipe out everything.
After some testing, I have found two issues with the update:
1. It seems that it is not any one specific app, but the NUMBER of apps on my SD-card causing the reboot. I have somewhere around 200-250 apps installed on it. So far I can put about 80 or so of them in .androud_secure and it will work fine, I do not know exactly what the braking point it, but I know that having around 140 apps causes it to reboot every 5 minutes, regardless of which apps are on there.
2. I can't load my text messages anymore. Any contact who I have had a long history of texting with, it just gets stuck saying "loading". I can still receieve messages, but since I can't actually open the message list anymore, I can't reply!
I would really like to avoid doing a factory reset if possible, is there anything I can do about this?
I was consideing just doing a SMS-backup and then flashing a custom rom, but I like the 3D feature and it seems like there is not a SINGLE custom rom out there that supports 3D, and many don't support 4G either.
Please, does anyone have any advice?

[Q] Can't mount SD card & random reboots

I'm on vacation now and something weird began happening once I landed. I plugged in my phone to the rental car's cigarette lighter but it refused to get any service after repeated reboots. The phone would also lock up and reboot, claiming the battery was fully exhausted. Phone worked just fine up until then (on latest JB OTA).
Eventually it would start up and felt pretty stable, but the battery level had to come up to about 10% for this.
Yet ever since, I can't mount the SD card. Clicking "mount" in the menu causes it to hang and suddenly reboot. Every once in a while it will say "damaged SD card". Plugging the phone into my laptop doesn't let me see the SD card either...and it has started to drop all signal, hang, then reboot again.
Tried all the following to fix it without success: cleared Dalvik, cleared cache, unfroze all apps, temp unroot & re-rooted, use phone as USB mass storage. I can't see the SD card in recovery, either.
Sadly I am out of warranty by almost 5 months so I'm not sure what to do. My last resort will be to hard reset but I'd rather not do that. Thoughts on what's wrong?

Reformat the sdcard
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I can't format it since the phone just hangs whenever it tries to read it. I suspect the card is just dead, but I don't get why it causes the phone to go nuts and freeze/lose signal.
make a backup of your sd card data and then format using pc and card reader

Problems with Adopted Storage (a.k.a Flex Storage)

Hello all,
I have a Moto Z Force Droid (XT1650-02). It's running on Android version 8.0.0, and build number OCLS27.76-69-6. It was acquired from Verizon. It is not rooted (sadly), and the bootloader is locked. It has 32GB of internal storage, however, I added an SDCard(64GB) to increase that storage space.
I'm having some problem(s) with my SDCard, or more so its usage as adopted storage. I've had the phone with the storage for quite a while and everything has been fine. However, 3-4 days ago was when the issues started. One night, my phone was acting really laggy. Which I just chalked up to tech being tech. I let it sit for a bit, tried rebooting it, etc. Well, as time progresses it seems to me that Facebook Messenger is what's slowing it down. So, I try uninstalling it. Of course, this isn't working and android just keeps giving me a helpful little notification that the app is uninstalling (for much longer than it *should* take). I figured I'd reboot into safe mode and try uninstalling it from there. The phone powers off and reboots fine. However, when I tried to unlock the screen, the entire phone froze and crashed after a minute or two. Once it reboots, it gets stuck in the bootloader (or, more specifically, where it says "DROID" and there are little shiny spots moving around the letters). So I used the power button to force the device off and try rebooting again. Again, boots up fine but it freezes at unlock and the cycle starts again.
Around 2 days ago I took it to a Verizon store. Originally I was just told I was going to have to factory reset (which I didn't want to because all the pictures I have and such would be lost. Apps are backed up by Google though). They told me to take out the SDCard, to help save what I could. Then, I got the bright idea to try booting without the card. This time the phone booted fine and unlocked like it should (the only problem now is that I had no internal storage and all the apps that were on the SDCard aren't loading since no SDCard).
When I leave the phone on and install the SDCard, I can browse the internal storage again. However, I can't see any of the files when I try transferring them to PC over USB. As well, after a while of using the phone, or even letting it idle, it will eventually crash and go back to the above botting and not-unlocking scenarios.
Based on how/when the problem started, and the logcats I've grabbed as the phone was crashing, I have reason to believe it has something to do with Facebook Messenger not being removed correctly. [Logcats in the comment below.]
Any help would be greatly appreciated. As well, please tell me if there's anything that needs clarification. (Sorry for the wall of text. I just don't know what else to do at the moment.)

So. Bit of an update.
Turns out it's not actually just getting locked in the bootloader. It seems it's been doing a soft reboot.
I've been running "adb logcat" whilst trying different things, until the phone crashes. That's how I got the previous logcats. However, upon "rebooting" the adb logcat continues to run. I can provide a logcat for those, should anybod want it.

Phone restarts randomly, and sd card shows corrupted

Hi,
My phone restarts randomly and when it comes back, the sd card isn't read. When I go to storage it shows corrupted, and says that it needs to be setup. When I restart the phone myself the sd card works as if nothing happened. I've purchased a new sd just in case, and they're both doing the same thing. Both have no read errors on my pc. When the phone restarts itself, it's a quick restart, shows the samsung logo then back to home screen.
I haven't installed any new apps, but I did do an OTA upgrade to N950U1UEU5CRK1 version. It started happening soon after
Random restart and loss of data
I myself am having the same issue. After the random restart I find that some of my apps will not work properly as if saved data is now missing. I have found that restarting the device again after random restart is a quick fix until it happens again. It was happening on a daily basis multiple times per day, but now I haven't noticed as much eitehr that or I am not paying close attention.
