I have had my Rezound just over a month now. I have been having random crashes, it seems to be after playing 3D games. First time was about a week after I got it. I was playing GLWG for about a half hour. I noticed the phone was getting warm, but didn't seem too hot. The battery warning popped up, and when I tried to hit OK, the phone crashed, then went into a bootloop. After pulling the battery, phone still bootlooped. Ended up having to do a factory reset. Haven't had any problems since, but this week, the phone crashed while playing Monopoly. Still had about 50% battery when it crashed. After crashing, it went to bootlooping. I pulled battery for about 5 minutes and was able to get it to boot. Same thing happened a couple days later, and just today, it crashed at the very end of Antutu benchmark, during the SD read portion. Has anyone else had these problems, or do I have a bunk phone?

Could be that your GPU is loose or something goofy like that. Which is why after your phone gets hot it starts messing up. Take it apart and let it cool off naturally then boot it up again.

I find that sometimes my streak (318) seems to automatically restart in my pocket.of course I'd like to find out the cause.is there an app which shows me the uptime and a way to read any logs that may have been written just before and after the reboot?
i seem to have the same problem
Do you use SetCPU or any 3rd party apps?
Some people suggested the restarts may be caused by overclocking the CPU
I am using stock 318 rooted, without setCPU or any fixes and i also have a problem with restarts.
It is pretty random - last time happened in the morning just after disconnecting the charger after overnight charging session...
yea im running stock 2.2 318 with no mods at all and it happens more times then i would like, a few times it just shuts down on me in my pocket and stays off
I caught mine restarting once and it just stayed on the dell logo. had to pull battery and restart. 318, no mods
Restarts seem to be a problem with the streak no matter what ROM you have lots have sent there streak back me included and got a new one, this one seems to be OK now
Don't know why it happens for some and not others

Make sure it is not your battery door. It has to be on reel food or there is a switch that will shut it down. I had this problem when i first got mine i would set the phone down and it would reboot. I taped a half a business card on the back of the battery. it helps push the back out a little and ensures the back on switch makes contact.
Never had the problem again.
Battery cover
Yes the battery cover is the culprit... Try to push your battery in different are and you might see your device rebooting..
Its was the battery/battery door for me cuz since going and getting s new one I have not had a singel restart. If any of you guys are still with in your 30 days got return it

Mine has always done it, but since going to the official O2 2.2 upgrade it now gets stuck on the Dell logo when rebooting, so I have to take the cover off and remove the battery to get it to restart properly. Interestingly it never seems to do it when I'm using it - only when I go to pick it up, I find it's either just gone off or stuck on Dell logo. I guess it must be the back so I'll go stick a train ticket behind it and hope it solves it! I've not had problems with the back being loose and can actually take the back off for several seconds before it dies... which makes me wonder if it is just a loose cover....
My 2.2 Froyo with 318 has done this twice now. Took it out of my pocket this morning to find it stuck on the Dell logo and extremely hot. When I'd done the usual battery out fix it showed it had lost about 50% of its charge. Earlier this morning it was giving me a warning about a defective charger when I unplugged it. Installed Battery Solo Widget recently so I'm wondering if that played a part in the problem.
Reboot while on the phone
Mine as well. It freezes while i was on the phone. I had to remove the battery to restart the phone. 5 hours later it rebooted itself. I have an official ROM. I have rooted my phone 3 weeks ago. I wonder if this is the reason....
I try to shake the phone just to see if it is because the battery but nothing. It starts to annoy me.
Do you think I need to send it back?
YD.
Mine got stuck on the logo with 318 and i had to re-qdl tool it to get it back going. Hapened twice. put att 1.6 back on and had problems with restarts and it going back to factory state. im on the 3 replacement now
I have a new theory on this.my EU Streak (318 froyo nonrooted) keeps resetting when in the pocket, out when I carry it in my defender case, under some short or so. It.s also warm here, so I'm starting to suspect that the reset s are temperature related.
Just now, I left home with 96 percent battery. I played some music and it stopped after ca 10 minutes. Dead. Cant revive without battery removal. I was only able to get to that another 6 or do minutes later. And then it showed the battery to be empty, red.
It must gave chewed through 90% in those 6 dead minutes.
Does anyone know of a software to monitor (and log to sd card) the internal temp, etc?

And just now it rebooted itself while sitting quietly on the desk. Well ventilated. sigh
Hello, i'm having problem with my streak5 (just bought used)... It runs froyo 2.2.2.
Some times it shut down and it's not possible to restart. Every time it's necessary to plug the charger for 10-20 seconds.
The same things happen if i remove the battery: In order to restart i have to plug the recharger...
Someone has an idea?
I know more than a little about Android. I've been hacking and Romming since back in 2007. Last Friday my 3D started rebooting randomly. I tried everything I know. Reflashed different ROMs, same thing. Reflashed the aio 2.17 update. Same thing. reflashed recovery(twrp), same thing. Got 4ext and flashed that, same thing. I didn't know what else to do. Copied all the card to PC, reformatted and copied back, same thing. I had some clues, the GB ROM i was running (CleanROM Reborn) would sometimes report 0% battery. It also would almost never reboot on the charger,
I installed a fresh ROM (MeanROM ICS) and all seemed fine till it randomly factory reset while I was at a gig Sat night!! A week or so ago I was in Austin and left it charging in the car and went swimming. When I got back the battery was reporting overheat. I cooled it off with the AC vent and all seemed well. A few days later, I had a bootloop, thought it was the kernel and did a battery pull. Somehow I must have gotten something on the contacts or didn't seat the battery. I pulled the phone out of my otterbox today and cleaned the contacts and put it back in. powered it up, haven't had a problem since (knock on wood) I'm planning now to get a replacement battery in case I fried mine but only time will tell. I hope this info will help someone at least try the simple stuff first without all the headaches I've had the past 4 days.
This issue happened to my evo 3D : it turned off without reasons.
Sometimes, the battery icon became grey so impossible to see the battery level and few minutes after, it turned off.
One day, it turned off and impossible to power up. I sent it to the repair center and the issue came from battery and other components (contacts with the battery). After other comments on the internet, I'm not the one to met this problem so if it can help you I think that some evo 3d have this issue natively.
PS : sorry for the possible mistake in this message, my english is so bad
to fix random reboots, power off your phone to clear the cache, remove the battery for 30 seconds, place it back in, and power it up. Once it boots up completely, reboot your phone (don't shut down just restart). You should be good. This clears up the bad cache that causes rebooting.

Good post. Yes, I can see this happening for sure. My battery seems a little loose but I have not had this problem. If it turns out I ever do, then this would be my first guess.
I once had an Acura Legend that for no reason would just stall on the road and die. It was very irritating. One time had to have it towed. I had it in two different garages and neither one of them could fix it and told me there was no problem. But sure enough it happened again. The problem was intermittent.
I had it towed again home to my driveway. I'm sittin in it and thinking. For some reason I started jiggling the keys in the ignition and it would start and stall just by doing that. It was a bad ignition switch. I had never had one go bad before. I replaced it myself and all was well.
I went back to one the garages I took it to and told them I found the problem and what it was. The guy said yeah I knew that was the problem and said he told me so. I could have strangled the guy. Never happened that he told me that. They had even charged me $75.00 for fixing nothing. I never went back to that garage. The other garage I didn't bother telling.
Anyway, your battery problem reminded me of all that. Something I'd rather forget about. Thanks.

Yes that would be q normal fix. I tried clearing cache and dalvik AND flashed ROMs and the problem persisted. So far, it's stayed solved. I settled in MeanROM ICS, which I highly recommend btw and have had no reboots that I didn't initiate. I just thought it wierd that a hardware issue would manifest itself that way.
Freeza's All-in-one firmware update helped me as well:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21374142#post21374142
The OP has described my experience to a T. In fact I tried all of those things in that exact order.
I have always suspected the battery but I have tried moving it around in the compartment with the phone on and can't force a reboot. Plus, when mine reboots, the screen freezes for a few seconds, which tells me it hasn't lost power and is most likely a corruption or fault of some kind.
Since upgrading the Kernel I have had less reboots, but it sill randomly happens once a week.
This has been true for 4 different ROMs now.
I have other thoughts that this is either an app crashing the kernel or my cpu can't tolerate even default speeds. None of which I have tested yet.
So friggin annoying!

Yeah, the kernel has something to do with the random reboots too. I had it with some of the dodava kernels. It would happen after unplugging from the charger. I did notice that right before, there would be touchscreen issues. Lag mostly in sipping between homescreen panels or opening apps.

hwat do u mean with "cleaned the contacts" deleted all or what? i have same issue random reboots daily! and make me sick
I cleaned the battery contacts. A Q-tip and alcohol to remove any crud. Let it dry, and put the battery back in making sure not to touch the contacts.

thx man, how this wil work, i have random reboots on every rom especialy when phone is in my pocket, but also when stays on desk, so random shutdown/reboot, also i tryed change kernel but without success, mybe this would help, thx for advice.. cheers from croatia
If you guys are not running current firmware/radios I would check that also. I've had that cause random reboots for me in the past and it took me forever to figure it out...

Yeah, I'm running proper firmware for my ROM. That was one of the things I tried when I was figuring out wth was happening. My biggest clue was radical difference in battery level on reboots and the system ui battery reporting crashing. I knew then it wasn't the firmware.
At random times, my ATT SGSIII will do a hot boot (looks like the phone resets itself quickly. Not full reboot.) I don't know why it's doing this, but it's done it on the stock ROM and on Ultimatum ROM. The only thing I can think that has caused this was rooting it, but I haven't seen anyone else mention anything about it so I'm worried I screwed something up.
I attached a picture of my battery stats graph that shows the skips/jumps each time this happens. It also throws off the "time on battery" by a large margin.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Just to concur that this happened to me today, after I messed around with Bluetooth stuff (turn it on and off).
I'm still stock, unrooted and it happened to me twice in the last day. 1st time I just finished using a flashlight app and the phone froze and then rebooted. 2nd time it had been in my pocket for about 5 minutes. Both times - 2 vibrations, reboot, startup sound and graphics.
Hey guys,
Last night I plugged in my LGOG right before I went to sleep. About seven hours later I woke up, woke it up to check the time, then fell back to sleep. When I woke up again a few hours later, my phone was completely dead. No lights go on when charging, nor does it go into the charging mode that happens when the phone is off but charging. The power button does nothing at all. Connecting it to a computer does nothing. I have tried two different wall chargers and a USB plug, and have tried different outlets. The phone is rooted and unlocked. I haven't put any new apps or anything on the phone recently, however I have had a slight overheating issue lately. I don't think that that's what caused the issue though, as when I woke up for the first time and woke it up, the phone was not noticeably hot, and seemed to work fine. Any ideas or suggestions?
Edit: As suddenly as it stopped working, it has started working again, about two hours later. The notification sound buzzed, my phone turned on, and usual on start things happened. However I'm still extremely worried about it. Now that it's on, I assume there's more I can do to figure out the issue- suggestions?
These phones are terribly buggy when charging/when they die, IMO. Worst Android device I've ever had in that respect.
Probably just a fluke, tbh.
Unfortunately it happened again- sent a message, put my phone away, when I tried to turn it on again nothing happened and it stopped working for five minutes.
Apologies for not mentioning this before, but I am using carbonrom, not stock. I've used it for several months with no issues, and have used the latest build for a week or two now without this issue.

Reboot into recovery and wipe cache+dalvik
Maybe the rom needs a little cleaning
Sent from my CM10.2 OGE973
Tried wiping cache and dalvik, but didn't seem to solve the issue. Then my phone started having an issue it's had once before- it turns on for a few seconds, then the screen goes grey for about a minute, then returns to being on. After returning to being on, it acts like it's just started up- ie, there's superuser grant notifications, cpu set notifications, and all sorts of other stuff I usually see on boot. It essentially rendered my phone unusable, so I restored an earlier backup. This seems to have resolved it for now, I may have to wait before updating carbon again.

Either you have a bad phone (possible, LG seems to have some QC issues based on some of the crazy reports Ive heard fm other people on this forum [Mine's fine]), or it's all the startup **** that you have going.
Do you usually let it discharge to below 5%?
that's a stupid idea with any device, and seems to be especially damaging to our LGOG.

Have mine 2months been careful not to let the battery shut down on its own but thirds past Monday my car charger weren't bad and the phone shut down. Would not except a charge after that. Went to att and they sent me to a service center. They could not charge it either. They replaced it, now making sure my external battery backup its always charged. Do not want to do that again.

That sounds like that could actually be the issue. On the previous iteration of carbon I almost never allowed it to go below about 10%. However the new update seemed to be harsher on battery life and it slipped into the 1% range several times...
same thing happened to me running root box with no tweaks or anything. I woke up and the phone was off, been that way for two days now. it wasn't on the charger so its definitely possible that it died. I actually found this thread because I could've sworn there was a report of someone who had to do a battery pull. I'm thinking that's my only option now.
Hi,
Just wondering what steps I should take next and if this has happened to anyone else.
My phone constantly reboots or gets stuck at the boot logo and requires a battery pull the past few days, only between 3pm and 8pm. The rest of the night and the rest of the day the phone is perfectly fine.
It started Monday 10/3. I took the phone out of my pocket as I walked to my car 5pm after work and noticed a reboot...but thought nothing of it. At dinner time I put the phone in the table and noticed a reboot...but since the phone worked still...I ignored it.
Tuesday, starting at 4pm...my phone rebooted many times..or was stuck at the boot logo...making the phone unusable. I ate dinner with the phone off...and it was fine after dinner.
I decided to swap to a spare battery. Both genuine Lg batteries...direct from Lg. Wednesday...the phone was on my desk...and around 415pm the phone rebooted without me touching it ...just sitting in my desk. Unusable again until 8pm...no matter how many times I pulled the battery.
I was charging my phone from 1pm - 4pm everyday...so I thought it might have something to do with the battery being full.
Today, Thursday...same thing as Wednesday, except at 3 pm it started rebooting and getting stuck. Lasted until 8pm. This time I didn't charge my phone in the afternoon.
Any ideas? My phone was rooted 6 months ago...but I never installed any Roms or anything...just rooted it and kept it stock.

You say it is only happening at very specific times? Try setting system clock to the time when it usually happens to see if it is some sort of software issue. If you can trigger by changing clock, then reflashing stock rom should fix it. If not it may be a underlying hardware problem.
I feel like it may be a charging issue. Ive had it reboot when charging in the car now...or shortly after it charges...so not just a time issue. The odd thing is it happens to both my batteries.
I got a new phone yesterday anyways. Apparently yesterday was the last day best buy let's you do a 2 year contract upgrade on the everything data 1500 plan. I think the only way to get contract pricing is through sprint.com now. So I'm glad I got in on the best buy deal.
