It started happening about a week ago and was random, my phone has been rebooting and turning its self off, it was doing it all the time and now it just seems to do it when the screen is off and its idling, ive tried different roms and that dont change anything i have noticed the battery indicator messes up a good bit and cant give me my battery percentage, ive cleared battery stats and wiped caches, whats going on here?

Maybe the battery is shot?
We're comin from a pure power source.
sounds to me like a bad or cheap battery. btw wiping battery stats does absolutely nothing as far as battery life goes. so its really not even worth taking time to do. also take out your sd card and see if the problem keeps happening. I had a cheap sd card that did that to my phone before.
Mine did that after I flashed just the newest radio by itself...I fixed it by flashing either Freeza's all in one or the one from xhaus that contained all the newest firmware from the newest update from the bootloader. hope this helps...i had the same problem phone would turn off while asleep in my pocket.

I have the stock evo 3d battery i also only updated the radio, downloading the freeza all in one now abd report back!! Thanks!

the new radio is garbage, revert back to the previous one and your problems are solved.
I was having the same problem. I took my evo to the sprint store and they gave me another refurb.
Hope you dont plan on using the new base or kernal because you will run into issues with an old radio. 0 problems here on newest one with current firmware.

no problem man hope it works...
could be a whole lot of different reasons. Always have to approach different issues the same way. You need to remember when the issue started. Did it happen when you updated the radio, or a rom and saved something on your sd card. if you hadn't done anything to it for a while or added anything to the sd card, a corrupt file on your sd card CAN make your phone reboot and sometimes get to the point where it won't load anything. I've also seen a battery cause the same thing. Go back to the basics, hope that helps, not a solution but just some advice....

yea my SD card made my phone do this too. i just took all files off and only put the essentials on it and it seemed to help
It's not the battery. Went through 3 until Sprint listened to me and got me a new one.
I was having the same problem. Flashed the all in one by freeza's. It has been almost 24 hr no random reboot yet. First ruled out micro SD replace with new and was still rebooting.

same annoying issue
I flashed the new radio, and immediately started having random reboots... only when in my pocket(meaning screen off and at idle) sooo pretty sure it's radio related... should i revert back to a previous radio? if so which one? thanks.

I had the same problem , any Rom I tried it would reboot . I was on hboot 1.4 and I really thought something was wrong with my phone . So I unrooted so I could take it to sprint . I updated everything and now on hboot 1.5 oh well. But my phone did not reboot at all. I did the HTC method , my phone works flawlessly now . I'm on miks 3.5 . I think my phone needed a new start lol.

This is a known problem with sense and gingerbread. My girls evo3d reboots daily even after I put her on stock everything. Just a really good reason we need ics now.
I had the same problem when I flashed the new radios...everytime phone idle for 5min it rebooted. Went back to old radios and have not rebooted in a week.

Knock the cpu speed down to stock speeds, see if that helps, take it back to the shop an get a new battery or buy a new one, do a super wipe and install a stable rom which you know is decent enough.
Should be fine.
PS: I'm running Mikrunny (mahmoud's version on post 261) the gsm version, using the kernel which comes with the rom and that's it, no probs at all.
CWM v 4, never reboots at all, highest you can go with that particular kernel is 1.51ghz

Okay so I'm not 100% sure if this is a sure fix, but it seems to have worked for myself and my wife. We both were getting random reboots like crazy and it was getting very annoying. I remembered back in my windows mobile TP2 days that a lot of stuff gets stored on the SD card after constant flashing and tweaks. So in order to get a proper flash u normally would have to reformat ur SD card, wipe, wipe, wipe, and then flash ur ROM. That is exactly what I did with my phone as well as my wife's phone. I formatted our SD cards after backing everything up of course. I backed it up on an external harddrive, formatted, put everything back, formatted the phone with a super wipe zip I found somewhere in the development forum, installed a custom stock Rom I have been tweaking and then booted up my phone and have not had a single random reboot since. So as the title says, it is a possible fix. If u try it then please post so that other users can know if it is actually stopping the reboots or if It's just a placebo effect. Thanks and I hope I've helped someone who is extremely frustrated as I was with their 500 dollar phone randomly rebooting.

Yeah my battery wasn't loose at all. My phone would also sometimes freeze up and when I rebooted it would just be a black screen. I had to pull the battery to get it working again. I tried the auto brightness fix bit my screen would go black sometimes and rebooting did not fix. I actually had to pull the battery out.

See, the problem with my phone is not random reboots, but hard freezes--with custom kernels..only custom kernels. My actual ROM software is very stable.
Now, if someone can figure out why that happens, I will give them $100.

Truth. I've never had random reboots and the only reboots I've done were solely manual because of these hardlocks from custom kernels.
If only my phone played nicely with kernels...

Since we never had this issue with the 4G you think it could just be a borked kernel source from HTC and we are missing some valuable info in it? Or the dual core aspect of it being ours r diff than others being asynchronous, is very touchy to code and adjustments we woulda made on single cores?
Any other of the MSM8660 handsets experiencing this with their custom kernels or is it just ours? If just ours be worth looking at their stable kernel modes source to see difference n what they might be doing differently??

I'm leaning more towards HTC's screwed up source. As this problem wasn't present in their 2.3.3 source, at least with netarchy's kernel. There weren't nearly as many kernels to choose from but still.
I've heard a few people say the source was either incomplete or messed up somehow. We can only hope that HTC releases an updated software version with a new kernel so that they're obligated to release the source as well, and this time hopefully it will be complete.

I'm having strange issues as well. My phone will sometimes lockup while using it and then it displays the bootanimation and gets stuck on it and I have to battery pull. And it's actually done it once so far while I was sleeping. ROM is stock but I just decided to finally update it to 2.3.4 so I flashed dastin1015's "[ROM][Sense 3.0][2.3.4][Nov. 3, 2011] Stock 2.08.651.3 Deodexed w/ Hotspot and Beats" over it and rolled. Before I flashed, I nandroid'd, Titanium'd, and My Backup Pro'd. I then booted into TWRP and flashed and rolled. I didn't clean reset before or after because I was worried about losing texts and whatnot. That seemed to go well so I flashed chad.goodman's mildAnthraX and also updated my PRI. And keep in mind I haven't touched the clock settings or voltage. Any ideas? I was considering flashing stock kernel and seeing if that fixes it. If not, then I imagine I will have to do what I least want to and clean reset my phone. Will the logcat help identity the problem here?

Ur on the exact setup as I am. Kernel and ROM. Stock kernel still did exactly what u mentioned above as well. After formatting my SD card I have yet to have it happen. It's been about 8 days since I formatted. After reading the posts I don't think formatting my SD card is a fix, but I too am leaning towards HTC kernel being messed up. I think sooner or later my phone is going to do it. My phone was doing exactly as u stated. Booting into the splash screen and not going past it. On some occasions my phone would either freeze up or just go black. The hard buttons would light up but not my screen. Hope this gets figured out soon.

Mine resets between the hours of 71-80 of being on
I'm having the same problem and I do not know how to solve it! I am so close to selling my Evo 3D and going to the SG II.
I have ran CleanRom and currently running Fresh. I have tried Mwalts kernel, Bcblends kernel, and stock kernel from Fresh stock. No matter what I tried, my phone ALWAYS resets between the hours of 71-80 of being on.
The reset happens only when I try to turn on the phone. It turns on, off really quick, then I hit the power button again, the lock screen comes on, then the phone resets. It is getting really annoying as I love having stability and this phone isn't stable at all.
Any ideas? I have exhausted everything I know. I'm running the exact same programs as I have on the Evo 4G and since it is resetting at the same hours always at the same time on different ROMS/Kernels, I'm pretty sure its not app issue. I also tried changing between the 3 radios and no change there. The only other option now is to do a fresh install of Fresh and use it stock and see what happens.

Try setting min cpu freq to something other than 192000, I use 384000 sleep and 482000 wake. I used to have a reboots and freezes but saw that advice somewhere and gave it a shot. Presto no more issues. Battery life is no worse for wear either. Not saying this will work but worth a try.

Huge Thanks
thank you so much for sharing your information my evo 3d was rebooting about every 30 min and i have just been dealing with it because i had took my evo4g into the sprint store because it was rebooting aboutevery 5-10min so they looked at it and couldnt figure it out so the gave me the evo3d for free and i put the sdcard that was in my evo 4g into my evo3d without having any idea that it was the sdcard causing all of my problems so the same thing started to happen to my new evo 3d started off about every day and eventually started to reboot every 30min and i just decided that all htc devices were like this so i have been dealing with it but today i said enough is enough and looked online and saw this thread and wiped my sdcard and sure enough no reboots yet its been about 3 hours so i think its fixed
i cant thank you enough i think it got corrupt from all of the flashing i was doing
son of a ***** right as i was about to hit post the mother ****er rebooted so its not my sdcard after all should i take it in to sprint what do you think ahhh i should have never posted anything it was going so well FML!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps hboot 1.4 is the **** no more going to the computer to flash a rom stupid hboot 1.5
I've sometimes had trouble running custom kernels (reboots and strange behaviors) that were fixed when running the stock kernel. But, the stock kernel leaves a lot to be desired in overall performance, so I continue to kernel hop. But, from my lurking on the different ROM forums, it seems that stock is the way to go for stability at the sacrifice of performance.
I had problems with evo rebooting and that in a loop. Very annoying. For that i've changed several roms just to find out that it could probably be because of widgetsoid.
At first the rebooting after some time of use, 1-2 days. And if flashing a different kernel than the one with rom. I was going mad, the last reboot or series of constant reboot after the evo has turned itself on, has occured after i set the brightness to lowest value, it was late so i wanted a darker screen. Interesting it when i set lowest value in system or via leedroid tweaks in widgetsoid widget popup - value im at 12 %. Maybe i got the restarts because i went below 12? Since my brightness im above 12 in widgetsoid and minimal in system, my evo didn't reboot a single time.
Currently i'm at shawn3d rom. Later i'll try some other kernel and rom again and see if the reboots occured.
U get random reboots while using any brightness widget with custom roms. I've narrowed my 3d threshold for the reboots to be anything less than 5%.
No reboots if kept at or above 5% for me...

Factory reset is an option
Root, flash custom ROM
Flashing will increase battery life, and the responsiveness of your phone
Same thing happened to it kept doing it over n over T-Mobile didn't do anything they're gonna send u a battery. That's all I rooted flashed new rom n one of faux older kernels new ones not stable I'd say underclocked to 1188 n phones been running great and battery last me 10-12 hours which for anyone with an amaze knows that's alot lol

The same exact thing happened to me when my Amaze was new. It shut down on it's own almost daily, but sometimes it would take a few days until it shut itself off and I think it went as long as 4 days one time. My phone is stock. I thought about returning the phone, but never got around to it and now that I have had it for a few months it has just stopped shutting off on it's own. I don't think I changed anything, but the phone works perfectly now.
I wish I could give a definitive answer on how to stop the shut down's, but I tried various things and nothing seemed to help. Somehow it fixed itself over time.

Bought the Amaze brand new and it would reboot itself 2-3 a day when it was just sitting on my desk at work or home.
I rooted it and removed the T-Mobile bloatware, made no difference.
I then put Bulletproof rom on it and made no difference.
I then put Faux123 kernal on it with the Bulletproof rom...no difference.
I got a new battery and it made no difference.
Phone just reboots 2-3 times a day. It locked up overnight last night and I overslept since I use it as an alarm too.
Dunno what else to do...

Changing from Stock kernal to Faux123's didn't resolve it for me either. In the Energy Rom thread a couple people said once they flashed his rom that their reboot's went away. I just flashed it today and we'll see what happens.
I'm still on Faux123's kernal with the Energy Rom. If it reboots still, I might switch back to Stock kernal with Energy Rom to see if that makes a difference.
Phone just locked up and rebooted using Energy Rom with Faux123 kernal. Just installed Stock kernal, we'll see what happens...
Well I'm stumped and frustrated. The Amaze is a great piece of hardware but it seems to have rebooting issues just like the LG G2x did.
I have the stock kernal with Energy Rom and I've wiped it and have no apps installed. And after a couple hours it still locks up and reboots.
I'm about ready to dump the phone.
No matter what kernal/Rom I use...it just reboots after a couple hours time...
Are you using any sort of task managers or probably a certain app causing it to reboot. Do a factory/data reset and don't install anything for 24hrs and see if the problems continue. Also, you should backup the contents of you external sdcard and re-format it. And do the same with your phones internal memory card. There could be a file on there (maybe from a previous Android Device) that is not cooperating with the Amaze. Just gotta figure it out. Good Luck.

I don't know if T-Mo will see it this way, but assuming you take, or have already taken, Double0EK's advice above, I'd try to get T-Mo to replace it as hardware defective. I've had zero reboots and I ran stock for 6 weeks and the Energy ROM for nearly two.
Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me....I'm getting kind of desperate here! Basically my Atrix keeps randomly rebooting or getting stuck with the screen off (requiring a batter pull) . This happens about 10-20 times a day (my Atrix is far too unreliable right now to use as a daily). This seems to ONLY happen when on network (ie 2g/3g/hspa) and doesn't seem to happen on wifi. I can leave it on all night and day at home on wifi happily with no trouble but as soon as I go to work and leave it on network, the trouble starts. Its weird cause if the phone is doing something with the screen off (playing and streaming music over Bluetooth for example) it won't have any problems. Its only once I leave it at rest on the network that it turns into the most unreliable handset ever.
At first I thought it may be the neutrino rom I was running but I've since been using jokersax's amazing ics builds and the same problem persists. I did a full clean (format /data & /system plus cache and factory wipe ) and loaded on the latest beta build this morning, left it clean with zero apps except google (and xda!) and within an hour of getting to work the problem came back.
I am fully boot loader and network unlocked.
Please, if anyone has any idea I would be really grateful. I am tearing my hair out!

Why not try a more stable ROM first and see if you get reboots.You do realize some phones just cannot handle unstable roms like the cm9 builds even though they are great for some ppl it just doesn't workout also maybe you are using an oc kernel that your phone cannot handle.I would check both things first.
Try some a bit more stable.
cm7 ba2ft
wetdream
darkside
gingermod
If you get the same with those then maybe fastboot wipe and stuff like that so you can clear everything out
EDIT: flash a radio too

Hey,
Thanks, I'm going to try Gingerblur tonight... I had ruled that out as I have used darkside/gingerblur before and apart from the occasional reboot they were OK. The reboot was OK really, I know its a known issue with this model even with unrooted handsets, as long as its occasional and clean boots back to system again it doesn't really matter as I don't pin lock my sim (currently my problems are either a reboot every three minutes as soon as I switch the screen off... or, more commonly, the dead screen, needing that battery pull) .
I *suspect* that it may be the radio, but really need some solid advice on this because a couple of years ago I completely bricked my G1 by flashing the wrong radio and vowed never to touch radios again if I didn't have to....I am naturally very hesitant about radio flashing from that episode. Can anyone give me some decent advice on which radios i should be looking at for an unlocked ( but formerly Orange UK) Atrix? One very nervous owner here!
The other weird thing is that is perfectly fine when on a power source.

Hang on, I'm not making sense here, maybe it is these advanced ROMs, I was just surprised that neutrino (a cm7 based rom) also produced these reboot problems. Anyway, any advice on radios would be appreciated

As long as you flash atrix radios only you should be okay. I flashed just about every applicable radio on my brother's captivate and never bricked it.
I agree with you and previous posters, it sounds like a radio issue for sure.

I have the same problem with my Atrix running cm7 ba2ft. Sometimes it does not respond when you try to unlock, and I need to take out the battery to turn it on again. I bought the phone couple of weeks ago.
another thing to look at would be the battery my friend had similar problems with his nexus and tryed Roms and radios I bought him a new battery as a joke and the joke ended up on me cause he hasn't had the problem since let me know if this helped you aswell

Same problem here. Very aggravating.
I am having the same problem. And I am 100% stock with no mods. I just installed OTA 2.3.6 so I am waiting to see if that helped.
Yeah, I'm really worried this is a hardware problem - I've been quiet these past couple of days testing the brand new GB radio and when that still had errors i then also tried the European one - the problem still persists. I have now downloaded every Atrix radio under the sun now so may try a few more...
This is quite frustrating as a) I really want to enjoy ICS as it really is a step up from previous versions of Android and b) I no longer have the option of selling this in its current state.
I'm also going to try a new battery as WikidClown suggested above, can't harm....I can pick up one on Amazon for less than a tenner.
One thing is for sure, I don't think I will be buying Moto hardware again!

OK, so does anyone have any ideas? I have tested it using a load radios...and still nothing, it still randomly reboots. This is possibly the most unreliable handset I have ever owned

Have you tried fastboot wipe? Maybe format internal SD and start fresh. Haven't had this issue just trying to help.

I have formatted /system and /data etc between ROM changes, how would I do a fastboot wipe? I'm willing to try anything at this point!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Actually, scratch that, I know exactly how to do that...except I can't boot into fastboot. Is this indicative of something wrong? Will I have to go back to SBF?

i baught my atrix used. everything was stock. still had multiple reboots and battery pulls daily. on cm9 they seem to happen less. and the battery pull only happened once. but i know the issue must still be there. might try my wifes battery. her atrix has rebooted maybe 5 times ever. 3 since this last official update (she is still lock stock and 2 smoking barrels)
OK, trying a new battery is my last hope...I did a fastboot wipe this morning and for an hour and a half it was all going so well...but then the reboot happened.
I'm getting a bit fed up with this pos hardware...I can't even sell this thing in this state.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Anyone have any other experiences? I have confirmed that it isn't the battery...I bought a new batter and within 45 minutes it has rebooted once and done the screen off thing where it needs a battery pull. Complete crap.
One thing to note is that it does seem to get very warm on the back, although the internals ( behind the battery) don't seem so bad. Is there any way to keep the temp down aside from underclocking? All my roms have always been under clocked so I know that doesn't make any difference.
The other thing I might try is to use something like Noled so the phone isn't completely idle. Might drain the battery a bit unnecessarily though....why couldn't Moto have put in an amoled screen?
Anyway, will report back once I've tried it.

I used to get tons of random reboots and then I was told to get the app called "Wake My Android Pro". Settings -> Test Activity -> Auto Startup, and Stop Activity checked. Weird settings, I know, technically with stop activity checked it doesn't do anything, but ever since then I don't experience random reboots. This was a few months ago when I was on just CM7. I've always installed this app when I get a new rom and I've tried Neutrino, Darkside, Alien, Aura, CM7, Wet Dream, and currently on joker's CM9 beta 1 build and RARELY experience random reboots. It went from once an hour to once a month now. I'm also on the .36p radio if that helps.

Cheers, have downloaded and will report back. The most annoying thing about troubleshooting a problem like this is that there is no immediate 'it worked or 'it didn't work' ....it's just a waiting game! Thanks a lot though, really hope it does work (and thanks for replying, was starting to feel like I was answering threads to myself!). I have .36 radio installed already (I think, will check...it's the Brazilian one isn't it?) .
Just to check then...you have all the check boxes in wake my android ticked?

Why?
Maybe you'll get a little more help if you give us more info. Mine doesn't random reboot at all.
Things that would help..
Rom? Kernel? Battery? CPU overclocked or underclocked? Recovery? S-Off or On? Is it a full reboot or hot reboot? GB or ICS? Carrier? Is your SIM card New?
You know, HELPFUL Info!

There is a reason you can edit your post dude, anyways, have you tried reloading the software or a new battery? Please don't tell me you tried replacing with an Anker battery, those are just bad news when it comes to issues of this kind.

Modifiy option is the edit option, just tap your post and choose modify. Try another stock battery, new one or someone who doesn't have the issue.

Yes I know, I had to update app
You could have a bad battery. Contact HTC tech support. Or restore your phone to factory and see if it does it still. If it does not then you probably had a bad flash or download if whatever custom ROM you are using.

No rom
Mine has done the same. It was shutting down several times a day for a while, but only seems to do it every few days now. It's not a reboot, its a shut down. I have stock Telus ICS, S-On, rooted, 4Ext.

Tried factory resetting or that amaze memory cleaner app?
It's the battery. The random shut-down issue stopped when I switched to Anker 1900 mAh battery. It lasts probably 40% longer and most importantly, no random shut down / reboot in the last week or so.
I had the same issue. Tried a new battery, factory reset, different ROMS, nothing worked.
But I didn't give up. I formatted the microSD and since then the phone is working PERFECTLY.
Here are the steps I took:
1) Format the microSD from the phone
2) Format the microSD from Windows
3) Flashed stock ROM (I was using Energy)
4) OTA update to ICS
5) Enjoy
Try it. If it doesn't work, change de SD. Maybe you're lucky as me ^^
Taken the d3o off and no shutdown

I was going to recommend something similar to this. So I decided to take out my sd card last week, and ever since then, I haven't had any random reboots out shut downs. Even after I put the sd card back in, I've been getting significantly less reboots - only once in the past 3-4 days.

just boggles me why you guys are having these kind of problems with your device when i've had mine for nearly a week (bone stock) no batt issue, no self rebooting issue and so forth and i'm not really looking to do anything crazy with it aka rooting. The only thing that I kinda notice is that the battery life does takes a toll.. with heavy use (web browsing, watching movies, playing games etc) i get about 6-7 hours with 30% life after... i guess it depends on how you use it on a daily basis.

Hey fellas, my phone will not stop rebooting and i was wondering if anyone was having the same issues? My phone is S-off and i have tried several kernals and different roms. ive wiped the battery stats, drained down the battery and fully charged it while the phone is off. Im getting to the point of grabbing a hammer and breaking this and either buy a Galaxy S3 or wait to see what apple does with the Iphone 5. Any suggestions? Should i buy a new battery or is it just my phone?
Did you flash a ROM without wiping? Are you flashing kernels on roms that you shouldn't be? A little more information might help
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Flash the stock RUU and run for 24hrs to see if the reboots still happen.
Another issue could be the battery. I've also heard that SIM cards could cause some reboots. It's just a process of elemination.

I always do a full wipe on the phone, including the cache and davlik. And for the kernels ive only used faux's kernel and the stock kernels.

Ive thought about doing this as well, i will try flashing the stock RUU. Never thought about the sim card but its worth a shot. Im starting to believe that it might be the battery. Thanks for the advice, i dont really want to move to another phone but this is becoming a lil too much :fingers-crossed:

I think the majority of the users in the Amaze forum had their batteries go bad. Just get a new battery. Either call HTC and request for a replacement battery per HTC's warranty or buy an Anker battery.
My stock battery is going bad. It'll only last about 6hrs now. It used to last 10-16hrs depending on use. But I can let it sit, without using it, for 4hrs and my battery will he about 30%..I've never had the random reboots with it yet.
Just as an update, i installed the official RUU and still encountering the reboot issue :crying:

Now that double points it out. It could be a sim as well although I don't recall as I got a new battery and sim and flashed stock ruu before inserting them. Then they disappeared.

I should try that. But it doesn't appear to be a contact issue though. Many Amaze users, including myself, had that issue. The only thing that fixed it was a new battery.
The pins seem to be spring loaded (or something like it) because when I insert the battery, the pins go back like 1/3 to 1/2 way. There is absolutely no room for movement whatsoever. It's not like the battery was loose. But that's just me, and the mileage may vary for others.
