Hello.
First of all, I've been running CM7, having used CM9 for a while and decided it's not for our phones yet. My X10MP has been working fine.
Today, I tried to move some apps to the SD card. When I did so, one in particular, a GPS app, TMN Drive, got stuck and when I picked my phone up and pressed the unlock button. Nothing happened. It seemed to have shut down. So I took out the battery and tried it again.
Now I'm aware of the issue... Once the screen shuts down to lock the phone, it doesn't come back on. I know this because I have unlocked the screen (with it off) and messed with the volume buttons and heard the volume beep.
The first time this happened, the battery got quite hot. I flashed the ROM again, figuring something had botched up. It's still acting up when it's time to show me the unlock screen. I have removed the SD card, just in case, to check if it had anything to do with this issue, but the ROM doesn't start without an SD card (completely forgot).
What do you think might have caused this? I'd like to format the card only if necessary. Could it be a kernel issue?
Thanks
Az
Sorry that my answer doesn't help you very much:
1)Hasn't ever happened to me
2)The Rom starts WITHOUT a Micro SD,the kernel doesnt.So,try booting until MiniCM7 logo with micro sd and then remove it.
3)Are you sure you flashed nAa-14 & MiniCM7-2.2.1?Cause I did yesterday and this crazy thing hasn't happened to me.
Ah, sorry, I knew there was an SD issue, mixed up components a bit, thank you.
Well, I just tried your second suggestion, and the issue is gone. Maybe something did really get screwed up? Anyway, I'll try to take as many files as I can from the card and wipe it clean. That should solve it.
I'm still on nAa-13, haven't been here for a while. I didn't reflash the kernel, just the ROM, Gapps and keyboard (I believe it's your file, actually). It's a nice excuse to update everything, I guess.
Thank you very much!

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.
-Kilimessed.
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!

Hey guys,
I'll try to keep this short. I have an HD2 that I've been running SD card Android builds with no problem. I didn't want to do a NAND flash just yet. I installed the EBL2.1a in Winmo and rebooted and all was well. I shut down, went back into Winmo, had it select the Gingerbread build I had on the card, to which it got to the Android logo, then just kept flashing the logo. I pulled the battery and now it wont turn back on! Just a black screen, just like its dead. I tried the reset button and tried a hard reset and still nothing. Any ideas?? I didnt think an SD card build could do any damage to the phone, so I'm really confused. ANY help/insight you could provide would be MUCH appreciated.
DISREGARD. I pulled the SIM and the SD card and now Its working again. WHEW! Weird.
Ugh. Scratch that. EBL just tried to load that gingerbread build again, and the same thing happened. I was trying to get it to select the proper Android build and somehow it selected the Gingerbread build not in the "Android" folder. Now its completely dead. Again. I removed the SD card and SIM and tried again with no luck. Im thinking it was just a time thing and I need to leave it for a while with the battery out. This is so weird tho. Hopefully it'll power back up again and I can just remove the EBL.
EDIT: Waited about 5 minutes and It's back to normal again. It's quite weird how an SD ROM can hard lock a phone like that. I'm not a developer, so I'm sure there's something I don't know, though.
EDIT AGAIN. Found the problem. It turns out the battery contacts are getting weak and bend a little if the battery is not inserted perfectly.
I know I'm basically talking to myself in this thread, but hopefully this little diatribe will help others who might run into the same issue.
Is anyone else having their streaks randomly shutting down or restart. while it's on, while it's off. Just random.... so far it's been between 1-15 min..
I have streakdroid 1.6.1 with volume hack..
I've read some things on other phones doing similar things and I've tried taking out the sd card.. nothing..
I have the same problem on streakdroid 1.8.1 with perfmod, mine dose about 10 random reboots in a row but after that it will work fine for a weak or so before it starts to do random reboots again. Any solutions?
Factory resets
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
The first piece i bought from the store had this problem (they had sold me a demo piece btw). Got it replaced and the new one works just fine.
Random reboots while on....
I am having a similar problem but it's only when my Streak is turned on...
If it receives a slight bump it will reboot itself like if something is loose. I have read it has something to do with the battery cover but I haven't found a definite fix yet...
Bad SIM card??
I know this is an old thread, but instead of starting a new one...
My streak started just out of the blue rebooting. It would go 10-15 minutes, just sitting, then die and reboot.
Tried the following:
1. clean contacts
2. Slightly bend up the back cover switch thingy contacts (both)
3. Paper over the battery
4. Tighten the hooks on the back cover.
5. Uninstall anything I have in the last 24 hours, including scripts etc.
6. Removing the 16gig SD card.
Short of doing a factory reset, nothing has helped.
Did a search, found a couple of posts where removing the sim card seemed to
fix their problems, so I gave that a shot.
So far (hour) it hasn't acted up. I've run quad benchmark, market app,
downloaded a few apps, reinstalled the V6 supercharger scripts...no problems.
I wasn't aware a sim card could go "bad". I suppose it is a semiconductor
that as with any semiconductor, can wig out for no apparent reason?
The card that is in the phone is the 1/2 white 1/2 blue one with the orange
3G fireball thingy at the top. It came with my HTC Tilt2 when it was new, so it is about 2 years old.
Must not be the sim or sd card. Short just wiping back to factory, I've done everything I can do,
I had to return my Streak because of a constant restart issue. Mine would flash the button lights three times and then restart. Only having the sim card out allowed it to function normally.
AT$T replaced the sim card but the problem came right back. I contacted Dell and they sent me a refurbished unit. The refurbished unit had the exact same issue. Dell sent me another that seems to be working, although, I may have just screwed it up trying to install 2.3.3 on it.
It's only rebooted 3 times today, kind of annoying since I wear a BT and it goes beep beep beep when it reboots, but I thought it might be a good time to try one of the other roms. It's already not working so what the heck

Not trying to toot my own horn or anything, but Streakin'354 is my ROM (It's in the Android Development Section) and I don't have random reboots with it. I had them with Streakdroid. Couldn't tell you about stock, as I haven't had a stock ROM on my phone for more than a couple hours since I bought it. Here is my procedure that works great for me. Takes about 15-20 minutes:
Flash the stock 354 recovery
Copy the pkg file for stock 354 to your SD Card and rename it Update.pkg
With the phone off, hold down the volume + and - keys along with the power button.
On the screen that pops up, choose option #2
Your phone will now install Stock 354, let it fully boot.
Flash Streakmod recovery
Reboot and as soon as the screen goes dark, hold down volume + and -
Choose to flash from update.zip and point it to wherever your saved your custom rom
Reboot, again holding the volume + and - keys when the screen goes dark.
Choose option 1 this time (Factory Reset)
It will appear to bootloop once, this is normal.
You now have a fresh install of a custom ROM.
Reinstall all your apps (I have used Titanium Backup for mine without issue, but some people report problems with apps after restoring from Titanium.)
For ease of use, you can use MultiRecoveryFlasher (found in the Android Development section) for flashing the recovery images and the pkg file can be found here:
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_354_15881_11.pkg
Keep in mind that the method I just described will wipe your phone (but not your sd card)
Almost forgot! Here is the link to my Rom's thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1243329
I've been searching for the answer all day, so please don't bite my head off if the answer is somewhere obvious. Also my spell check is on the fritz so i apoligise in advance for the poor spelling.
Today i tried upgrading my x10i via the sony PC companion. All went well until the software asked me to restart the phone. It restarted, loaded up the OS and asked me for language etc. After clicking for language, the phone became unresponsive and then turned off.
My first port of call was to reconnect the phone to the PC companion. I pressed and held the back button the companion software picked it up and reistalled the OS.
Didn't work. Same behaviour as before.
I then tried SEUS and used the repair feature. Again it reinstalled the 2.3.3 OS. I restared the phone, and had the smae behaviour as before, execpt it started looping the restart. The phone would get into the OS main screen fine, and then restart over and over.
After that i got onto google trying to search for the same issue. Everywhere i went, people were saying that a software reinstall did the trick. I had tried that several times by now and so i decided to come over to xdadev and give a flash a try. I downloaded the flasher and the most recent rom from this thread.
The flasher worked ok, but i was getting the same behaviour with the restart loop. I then decided to flash back to 2.1, and this is where i had a small breakthrough, as when i finished installing 2.1 Update 1, the phone turned on and stayed on. However it didn't reconise my sim card. I played with it for a bit to make sure that it would say on, which it did, and then i powered it off to check the sim card. I gave it a polish and reinstered it. The OS reconised the sim card, and then started the restart loop again.
So obviously i'm thinking it's the sim card. I recharge the battery for a while, just to mek sure that the phone will stay on and then i try my wifes sim card. This time, did can't even boot fully and only gets as far as the sony ericsson screen.
After that i took out my wifes sim card and it started working normally again.
So now im curious. I decide to flash the phone to 2.3.3 again to see if it runs ok. Aside from one restart which i think was part of the install process, it works fine as long as there is not a sim card in the phone.
Since i've had the phone, i've done one upgrade aside from this one from 1.6 to 2.1 and everything worked fine. I've also had the same simcard since i've had the phone with no problems what so ever up until this point.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Things I forgot to mention:
1. The battery was 80% charged when i started the original upgrade to 2.3.3
2. During the troubles, i would try and turn the phone on, the green light would flash and it would vibrate but not turn on. If i left my finger on the on button, it would 'cycle' through with the green light and the vibrate sequence every few seconds.
Hey Krusty, I've been having a similar issue with my x10, I posted about it over here, maybe we can brainstorm together? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209798
chances are this could be what you are in,
say good bye to your phone, it is permanently damage now.
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/24287
Congratulation, there is a chance you got one of those faulty motherboard that can't handle updates resulting a burning in your motherboard.
You might as well open up the cover and smell if it give you a burning scent.

it's not an answer actually, i just want to walk u through it, because since the day i got my phone RIGHT, i had no idea how did i do it
anyway, i just helped the guy in another thread and yeah, i will post the answer if his way is working
I have an Atrix 4G with is unlocked and is running the stock rom, 2.3.4, 4.5.91.
About twice a day, I will try to unlock the phone and it will not respond. I press the power button and the screen just stays black. I'll pull the battery and the phone will be fine for a day or a day and a half, but then it does it again. It isn't anything critical, just kind of a pain, and I have not been to be able to find one definitive solution to this anywhere.
Does anyone else here have this problem, and more importantly, does anyone have a solution?
Mine does sort of the same thing. When I hit the power button to wake it, it won't do anything. Sometimes I'll have to push it 2-3 times before it finally wakes.
Try deleting the user cache (factory reset).
but take a backup of your data and apps first (use Titanium backup)
Ok first of all if ur asking a question then u should ask in Q&A section and 2nd provide more info e.g. rom kernel radio etc.
and about answering the question i am assuming ur on CM7 Atrix Ba2tF build so just flash the latest weekely and most of ur problems including sleep of death will be gone.
and before that when this problem happens look closely at the censor at the top right of screen if its glowing red then its promity sensor issue (latest weekely will fix it)
and if not then again little more info would be required e.g overclocking and undervolting if yes then settings. some times undervolting cause random reboot and some times shutdowns.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll try them when I get a second and get back to you.

Sorry, just got back from a trip. Actually, I swapped out my off brand 32gb microsd card with a 64gb sandisk MicroSDXC card, and the sleep of death seems to have gone away (knock on wood). Thanks again guys.
