Hello all, I have decided to catalog all of the missing icons and rebooting issues into one spot as I have just received a new phone from Toshiba because my old phone repeatedly rebooted upon boot... and now my new phone is repeatedly rebooting upon boot, which is the same thing that my old phone did! Also, I can't remember how I solved the "missing icons from programs installed on SD card problem" but I have that same problem again. Now, I live in Japan, I have tried most of the radios, could living in Japan cause my phone to reboot? Like could the radio when it is trying to connect to the tower not like the signal and then fux up n' reboot? I need help, I know Kevin P. White played around with this issue, I know that most of the people on this board had this issue at one time or another. Any ideas friends?

Rebooting Issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648809
I tell you, if someone can help me with the rebooting issue, it would be so much appreciated. It is so frickin’ annoying to have the phone just almost boot up, then freeze for about 2-3 minutes before rebooting, then it will do this 3-4 times before it is stable. Someone else has to have this problem as I just got a brand spankin' new phone from Toshiba, and I still am experiencing the same problems that I did before. Thank you,
What the hell am I doing wrong? It must be my fault right?... I mean... There is no way that two phones from Toshiba could be having the same problem, so what am I doing that very few other people are doing?
I have tried using all of my stupid skills to come up with a solution, but... no avail. I need help.

PS: I will fix this problem, this post will catalog all of the known issues and fixes with this device, I can promise you, I will fix this basterd.
[UPDATE] - Trying one of FFBOY's roms [ROM][ENG]FFBOY'S WM6.5 21914+Manila 20161332!Radio5005.1700.05!8/8 - I read in one of those posts that he uses a different SD Card driver. Will report back later.
[UPDATE2] - It is later now, I do not have an SD card problem anymore, FFBOY's rom has definitly solved that issue, however, the rebooting problem still persists. It will begin to boot, just past the splash screen, then freeze for 10seconds to 2minutes depending upon the barametric pressure at that time... ehheeh.. **** ... i donno.. but.. anyways.. if someone can help me with the rebooting problem, that would be much apreciated. Ok, so I have done the following, I have removed the SD card and the SIM card but it still freezes/reboots 2-3 times before loading windows. Anyone else here having the same issue?
The solution to all these issues is simple : Don't install your applications onto the SD Card.
Once you've moved everything into the phone memory, you'll find it all works much better !
What about the cycle boot freeze problem? Oh man, I would give anything to have my stupid phone boot properly!... Again, it will freeze 2-3 times, then it will boot properly, it doesn't matter if there is no sim card and/or sd card installed at the time. Anyone experienced this?
Hi Kilihari! I had a similar problem with my TG01. I'm not firm in programming windows mobile, so I can't give you an advice in this direction...
but when that occured on my TG (plus freezing phone when press slightly on the backside of it), I sent it to the Toshiba-service partner for warranty - and got it back, still having the same problem -freezing after light pressure on the back-cover and independent from that (occured before) recycling boot (only 30% of the boot-trials worked properly). So I recorded a video with the problems and sent it back to Toshiba service the next day...
The result: My phone received a new motherboard, new IMEI etc. Which one of the two faults was the cause for replacement...i don't know, but maybe the recycling boot is rather a hardware-fault-caused problem than software-caused...
Good luck in finding a solution!

i ther, I have not had a problem with rebooting but I do get the missing icons quite a lot.
I find that using Sense roms is fine, I assume that while Sense is loading the system has more time to scan the sd card and load the icons. But this has a knock on effect on both memory and battery life.
I did find a rom somewhere (cant remember which one) which had a very lengthy boot/startup animation and the icons appeard fine. But it took a while to load so I changed this to a more traditional logo and the icons dissapeared.
I uninstalled this but the icons never came back and I did read that by changing the startup wait times this could also fix the problem so I tried experimenting and trashed my TG01 and I had to hard reset to clear and since then I have not 'experimented' since.
If someone has some spare time on their hands and dosent mind all the reboots they may find an answer but in the end I had to make customised icons and use JWD icon changer
Thanks guys for your help, I am sending my phone back to Toshiba, I will do this up again, I will pay for it, I don't care, I got to get this fixed.
Good luck and keep us posted
Problem Solved!!!!
Good news.
So I decided to give it one last shot, to try just one more time to get my phone working properly. I turned it on and preformed a “Master Clear” on my phone, stock Toshiba ROM freshly downloaded from their website, just to give it one more shot. I didn’t want to take out my SIM card from my secondary ASUS phone so I just took the pre-paid “Pay-as-you-go” SIM card from Softbank Mobile here in Japan (we use it sometimes when we have company over from Canada). A very interesting thing happened... right from the very beginning, I noticed that my phone was much more responsive and stable, I noticed that it didn’t freeze or reboot. It was perfect. The radio for the Japanese Docomo T01a is 5005.1901.1.20 which must make it possible for it to work with Japanese SIM cards, of course the new radio for UK Orange is 5001.0001.76. My "pay-you-go" SIM card looks like the previous generation's SIM, whereas my official Softbank SIM card looks newer. Anyways, the pay-as-you go SIM works, well the other SIM worked too, but this time my phone doesn't reboot, IT IS STABLE!!!! Meaning my phone is good. If anyone would like me to go further and take some photos of the SIMs, I can, just so if anyone encounters this problem ever again, we now have some additional information for the people in this community. If someone is experiencing the same problem as I am, you can just get a pay-as-you-go card or use a different carrier’s card and it might work, but the rebooting at boot and random freezes are not caused because of defect in my phone.
WoW.... I can't believe after a year and a half of pain, misery, and suffering, that it all came down to a stupid pay-as-you-go SIM card... also, my phone still froze without a SIM card in it, but after I had put in the pay-as-you-go SIM card, then it froze one more time, but the second time it booted, and then after it booted properly, then it has been good ever since, even without a SIM… now it is good. I can't believe this... honestly can't believe this. Even if it reboots once a day, there is no problem with that, but it has been totally stable... holy ****.... holy crap, it hasn’t rebooted in a whole DAY!!!! Moral of the story, buying a phone from a different country has issues related to it. EHEEHHEEHH.. Ummm... weirdest thing, ok, so, it seems like the pay-as-you-go card updated something in my phone or, allowed something to update. Then I put in my normal SIM card and all is good. When my phone starts to act funny, then I pop back in the pay-as-you-go SIM card for a minute, then turn off my phone and then put back in my normal Softbank SIM card. WOW!!
Also, Supbro's iContacts, iDialer, GreenButton and Ashiqiqbal's Host v1.5 are awesome programs... I feel like a kid in a candy story who has been held back savoring the sweet smells of the candy for over a year, I am now just installing program after program on this phone, just playing with things, eating all the candy!

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?

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.
like its said in the title, my titan resetet itself twice! without any obvious reason.
the first time the titan didnt react to anything so i removed the battery, when i startet it again -> get started stuff
the second time i just turn the titan off when i restarted -> get started
its pretty anoying and i wanted to know if anybody has the same problem or knows an answer
thx
Memory full ?
What your device memory nearly full or about 8GB full ? Some devices have a bug when this happens. The last deployed firmware resolved the issue for me.
mhm im not sure how much was full but it could be...
i will do the update and see if it solves the problem
thx for the tipp
edit: great ive wanted to update my phone but during the process it fails. at the point when the phone is restarting my pc doesnt recognice it anymore...
zune is waiting for the phone to restart and the phone shows this "connect phone to pc" screen but nothing happens...
You can try to update your firmware with the lastest version with a recovery tool here:

It worked for me but you'll loose all your data.
ok thx i will wait a few days and look for driver updates mabay this will fix it and i can update the normal way but thx
My phone keeps shutting off and I barely have anything on it. Pretty annoying, thought it was a defective phone, not sure after reading this.
edit: after doing a factory reset my phone is still shutting off. Going to get a new replacement today.
I read on another thread that cleaning SIM card and reseating it solves that. Hope this is not too late to help others.
Any similarities to this?

I just had my first reboot for my Titan. Incoming call but no sound. Hung up, and the phone immediately rebooted. First and only time it did that. Hopefully it was an isolated incident.
FYI: I have about 4GB free on my phone. No other issues.
i think some of you getting it wrong. my titan doesnt reboot it reset itself like a hard reset, everything is gone and i have to go trough the whole settup again...
this happened twice altough it havent happened in the last days i want to update my phone but its impossible for me right now because when my phone restarts during the update process zune doesnt recognise it anymore.
ive already deletet and reinstallt the driver and i ran the official microsoft fix without any sucess

Mine did this twice this week. I think is something with network connection.
Everytime I took it from pocket or car, turned it on and call in seconds.
Sometimes I got restarts while using the bluetooth connected to my car.
Something it not good with HTC radio.

HTC Titan resetting itself out of nowhere..??
My Titan reset itself for the 1st time yesterday.. it froze first so i couldn't power it down I had to take the battery out, only thing is I have all my stuff (music, pictures, text messages..) u get the point. So after that happened and i pulled the battery out and put it back in and powered it up some of my apps were uninstalled and when i went over a screen to my apps i noticed something that said "applications install" or something like that, i had never seen it before. I uninstalled the mysterious app or watever it was and now when i try to open my people block on the start screen to find contacts it wont work.. wont open at all!!! this is the 2nd titan ive had and im totally confused as to what going on. I did unlock it with an unlock code. I dunno if that has anything to do with it.. Can anyone shed any light or should i just count my losses and trash it! it also deleted my email accounts in settings when i powered it off then on again.. I dunno if its a bug or wat, but im pissed tf off!! hellppppp!
LG-P760 stock Android 4.1.2
Only basic apps, FB, gmail etc.
1. Factory/hard reset
2. Works around 3-4 days perfectly, then starts to crash.
By crash I mean black screen, nothing helps, only battery pull.
3. After first crash, starts crashing more frequently. Happens only in standby.
Worst was today: If I start phone, log in, then it wont crash before I put it in standby. First time in standby, within 30 second, it had crashed.
twice crashed when someone tried to call me. Vibrated once, then crashed.
I would like to avoid replacing my phone.
Any ideas how to find the source of this problem? Any recommendations?

I had the same problem with Vietnam Rom and it was the baseband. I changed to the baseband from ICS from a Rom of my country so I have Vietnam Rom+Original ICS baseband and everything works well.
Thanks.
Although, I understand it mostly is problem when you have unlocked bootloader.
I am running stock everything.
And they have problem with rebooting phone, mine crashes and freezes.
Weird is that it starts around third day of normal use.
I think I have to take on a quest with a warranty. Does anyone know, can I contact LG straight without the provider, where I bought the phone?

I haven't unlocked it. The problem was the same: SOD sleep of death, when the screen goes off you can't do anything but pull the battery.
But if you can use the warranty use it. You should find the warranty info in the box to know where send it in your city.

Thanks. I will search into it. Sleep of death is new expression for me.
I only have phone, it came from relatives who threw away receipt + box.
Luckily I managed to get new receipt from provider yesterday (I dont think they usually give out receipts twice), so now I can use local warranty.
Thanks everyone for replying. I will post update when I have final solution.
Since you are stock you might want to consider flashing the kdz to see if that helps. Good luck!

I'm having the exact same issue with mine. I've heard everything from "try a different SD card" to "factory reset," and nothing seems to permanently fix the issue. What I've found kind of sort of works is just reboot it a whole bunch until it finally comes up and doesn't do it any more. From there, I'm good to go until the battery runs out or I need to reboot it because all the bloatware is causing it to glitch. This usually means that I have to reboot my device 10+ times in a row every few days. Hopefully, you found a more viable fix than this.

Hi
I managed to kind of solve this issue. Because I am not sure how, I haven't closed thread yet.
Anyway, I warranted device, they re-installed soft. Came back, same thing. After around weeks use, SOD. Factory reset. After that, things went interesting.
I tried not to leave it idle. Always had something running. I also had noticed by the time it never occurred when it was plugged in or music was playing.
One day it did it again, but I was in a hurry and just disregarded it. I did something(I was busy, maybe just plugged it in automatically?) and it came back up. It took like 10 sec for screen to start, but it did just wake up. And it haven't had crash ever since. I have no idea is this solution or is this just some coincidence and I am not keen to factory reset again, to see will it reoccur. It's my only phone
TLDR: Managed to get out of sleep of death, haven't reoccurred since.
EDIT: Wow the issue was really REALLY stupid. turned out i was using a HUGE picture as my lockscreen wallpaper, and it was causing hang ups because I guess it was trying to load that huge picture into ram every time it went to sleep or something. change the picture, everything was fine. I'm really dumb.
My galaxy s2 has been fine pretty much since launch. Switched over to cyanogenmod a long time ago, been updating to their nightlies about once a month. Recently tho, starting like this week, my phone has been randomly rebooting like crazy, to the point that the phone is unusable. Any thing I try to do results in a soft reset. The fastest way I've found to recreate the issue is to turn on and off the screen twice quickly, causes a crash/reboot, dont know what to call this.
AFAIK I still have access to recovery, odin, etc.
I've tried flashing an older nightly, wiping cache, factory reset, still get crashes really easily. I've ruled out my micro sd card being the problem, it still randomly reboots without it. Any idea what I can do to try and narrow down what the problem is?
Do a clean install of stock in the first instance, run it for a few days & see if it persists. If it stops happening, then obviously something CM-side causing it. If it doesn't replace battery. If that doesn't fix it, take it to a local mobile repair shop for diagnosis.
